Not disagreeing with you or parent in general, that a post (or as you point out a history of posts) can be personal data. What I'm saying is, in general it isn't. If you sign up to platform XYZ and make a post, in general, the con

No, you are confusing, say, a post, with its content. The content of a post does (in general) not relate to an identifiable person.

No, check GDPR Article 4 (1): personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. The content of a post is not personal data (in general) but the things like user name etc are. The content is not relating t

Yes that makes sense. I wrote: > The fact that Covid (as an illness) has become milder is due to the hosts adapting, not the virus being milder.

Not sure why you are being downvoted, that is something that struck me as well. In particular Vanilla strains were milder than beta/delta. Don't get me wrong, Covid is a deadly disease with a lethality of 1-2 %, but the typical sy

So HN users, who disagree about research into the effectiveness of deplatforming, resort to HN's version of 'deplatforming'?

As someone who plays exclusively on Lichess I find the chess.com bashing, particularly here on HN, a bit short-sighted, in the sense that it's focussed on who provides the better (free) online service to play chess. If your goal, howev

You'd get a Helles or Pils, depending where in Germany you are. Either because the waiter/waitress know that they are lagers, or alternatively, they don't, but understand Bier, in which case they'll serve you a Helles or

If there is one thing the article disproves, it's the myth that the NS10s sound "like crap".

Not the expert on this, but Tesla whistle and Tesla shorts come to mind immediately. There are more subtle ones, e.g. the Tesla respirators right when Covid hit. This was all before Twitter of course.

I take it that you do agree with conclusions of the parent, that vaccines are indeed effective against Covid, but that effectiveness is mediated by viral strains/mutations such as delta?

If I understood you correctly your point is AI should be treated as RNG. Here are three models: * A language model that outputs jokes, * A self-driving car model that outputs driving instructions, * An autonomous combat drone model that

The issue highlighted in the article is no other VoiP/chat program will continue to record audio in the background. Which you can absolutely do, just don't make it the default behaviour. Valid point in my view.

Not sure what you mean - there is plenty of evidence Niemann cheated online, even if you personally don't believe chess.com. If you believe chess.com, Niemann is a cheater that lied about his cheating. Again, I don't get the whole

I'm not sure I understand your argument, I find it a bit too conspiratorial, and I'm not a fan of chess.com either. > What do you mean, 'finally'? It literally took the world champion to throw a 'tantrum' to

by Pyramus 4y ago
chess.com will put their credibility on the line to assassinate this one player? That sounds a bit conspiratorial - isn't it more likely that both Carlsen and chess.com take issue with cheating and they are in a business relationship

> He was 16 yo kid who did a stupid thing playing online. If chess.com is to be believed this is not the case, and they have informed Niemann about it. According to them Niemann has cheated more often and more recently than he admitted,

by Pyramus 4y ago
I think you are missing the bigger picture here. The question is not whether Niemann cheated in this specific game against Carlsen (he likely didn't) but to what extent Niemann has cheated in the past, how (online) cheaters should be t

I see your point, and if I understand you correctly, it is evidenced by the success of the Twitter/Tik-Tok/etc. recommendation algorithms. I'm just not sure we need productive thoughts more that productive discussions, given

To add to the thought experiment: If it were possible to isolate every single human being (and animal etc.) a considerable number of pathogens would die out.
