I hate that this is considered politics. The origin of covid should be a scientific debate. At first I was also confused that lab leak was a right wing conspiracy, but scientifically it does have quite a few things going for it.

Ok troll

I can’t imagine he’s in favor of bombing Yemen. Trying to gotcha your allies is so tiring. Leftists are their own biggest enemies

Legitimate interest to train AI

Yes, it’s worse. It is.

Nah, the point is that technical limitations are no substitute for actual in-person supervision. I don’t have a lock on the sweets cabinet but that doesn’t mean my kids can eat unlimited sweets.

To be fair, it is full of racist and fascist stuff. You can report them but Valve doesn’t do anything.

Chrome got popular at introduction because it was much faster at loading and displaying websites. Sure, there was a marketing push by Google, but it succeeded on the products merits and not some unfair business advantage. It still is a great browser.

We do need antitrust protections but not always because consumers are getting a bad product. It’s more about the balance of power. Maybe their products are good now, or their business practices are fair now to other market actors, but you never know when that will change and then it’s too late. It’s like you need safeguards against autocracy also when they’re genuinely doing good job of running the country, because it’s never worth it in the long run when they inevitably start doing nasty shit

I do! Thanks for the suggestion

My most watched movies:
Jurassic Park
The Firm
The Verdict
Children of Men
Arrival
Lord of the Rings

But you know all of those already. Here’s one you probably haven’t seen: Love me some stage play adapted to movie. Doubt (2008)

Not sure what you mean. Blinding headlights is definitely worse in the last two decades

Lighting is the determining factor? I think the real problem is speed. With kids coming out of nowhere, people need to drive slower. With some regular low beams you should see plenty, no need to light up the whole neighborhood

Your low beams were fine 20 years ago. Don’t create this expectation in drivers that they have to turn night into day. That only adds to the problem of asshole drivers prioritizing their ability to see over other people’s ability to see. Matrix headlights are unnecessary and create orders of magnitude more light pollution

Blinding headlights are due to poorly aligned low beams, too bright LED headlights, bigger cars with their headlights mounted higher and higher. So the solutions are: low beam alignment that can’t be made to blind you by the driver, regulation on luminosity and color spectrum of lights, stop financial incentives to make vehicles large, heavier, deadlier.

Ooohh, is little Twump too scawed?

Or it might be necessary to ban rich people.

Haha, now we’re talking!

Fuck off

Cory Doctorow calls this one “it’s ok because we do it with an app” and urges regulators to enforce the laws already on the books. It’s an absurd defense legally, but there’s no enforcement of antitrust or consumer law at all anymore

Wtf

This will just add to the house price inflation.
