Agreed, I’d be entirely fine with legal enforcement of the ISO definitions in advertising, no need to air historical dirty laundry outside the profession

Yeah, it’ll definitely be worse using a less complete constellation, but at least you can probably trust them to not fuck around and ruin military operations out of malicious political flailing, or whatever it is that Musk is doing constantly, so that’ll be a nice change of pace.

Agreed, but do you pick the de-facto standard of the entire industry (minus storage advertising) or the de joure standard of an outside body that has made a very slight headway into a very resistant industry.

The reality is that people will be confused no matter what you do, but at least less people will be confused if you ignore the mibibyte, because less people have even heard of it

True, I guess we need a Batman to handle this Joker, the “police” have been overwhelmed

See how long you last as police chief if you choose to not suppress crime.

So yeah, police are explicitly responsible for minimising crime, that’s literally their job.

I admit there’s some nuance there since police aren’t expected to actually prevent all crime. In this metaphor I guess the question is whether Trump is a bog standard criminal that maybe gets around the police but is kept mostly in check, or if he’s a special level of super-criminal that police chief Biden should have his career judged against.

My dad and his brother didn’t get diagnosed until adulthood.

My dad after he wore a horrific shirt at uni, and my uncle after he passed almost all the tests to be a airforce pilot.

Turns out they don’t have colourblind mode for military jets, and colourblindness can be surprisingly well hidden, the brain does everything it can to hide the flaw, you really have to break assumptions to make it glitch out and guess wrong.
