I don't tip as well. But I live in a civilised country where everyone gets at least a tolerable minimum wage. No one is paying me extra money just for doing my job. So I won't either. If they want more, they need to talk to their employer. It's not my responsibility.

Would I live in the United States of Idiots though, where a severe lack of ethical economic behaviour is observable, I indeed would tip the waiters, as that's sadly their financial lifeline.

because some bureaucratic board has been bullied into being quiet about it

That's a bold thing to claim.

They are not quiet about this.

And yes, until there is sufficient proof for the genocide allegations and/or the ICJ rules it as such, I can't confidently say for myself that it's genocide.

There is a tremendous amount of work invested in this case by people much more qualified than you or me.

Still, from my side this is in no way a justification for the cruel deaths of so many innocents. Civilian casualties are in no way tolerable for me.

That's indeed unbelievably cruel.

This does not constitute a genocide though.

The artist needs to use the brain and translate a lot, and I mean an awful lot, of the information seen in the model (3d space) into 2d.

Close one eye or put an eyepatch on. I'd expect this makes 3D -> 2D transformations easier after a while.

Interesting idea. I am eager to see whether this can be further confirmed or not.

I love those catchy titles. It's not something like "The Molecular Basis of Taste Perception in Mammals: A Comprehensive Review and Future Perspectives on Taste Receptors in Male Reproduction"

Nah, they go with: "Taste perception: from the tongue to the testis"

Short and concise to the point. Scientists have a sense of humorous wordplays after all.

No, it's a surgeon who is trained to use robotic assistance tools to do the surgery. Can help with precision for example.

Balls no taste. Taste IN balls not "on" balls. Taste not really "taste" like tongue, but rather sense how is sperm doing and tell body.

When deputies first arrived at the scene, they realized the restaurant's doors were locked, despite employees still being inside. The employees unlocked the doors for the deputies and explained that many upset customers would act out violently or even resort to talking, so they were just trying to be safe, according to the video.

Oh no, the customers might resort to talking! Quick! Lock the doors!

For the non-roboticists: SLAM = Simultaneous Localization And Mapping.

In robot navigation problems we often face the problem to get a grasp of the environment and the robot's position in it. It's easier if there's already a map provided and some sort of external observer who knows where the robot is relative to the map.

Since people don't usually go into your home to map it out and install some sensors in order to locate the robot, SLAM is the way to go. While moving through an environment, a map of the environment is created and by utilzing some fancy techniques based on sensor data like from cameras, mic+loudspeaker, LIDAR or whatever, it is possible to also infer the robot's position.

I've always wanted to make a website like this. But then I got too addicted to some game and spent all my time on that instead. /j

Only partly joking, I really wanted to make a website similar to this. But then stuff happened. You know how it is.

(Here was an entire wall of text, where I detailed the idea, before I decided to delete it all again.)
