Maybe instead of creating more rules we should trim down our legal systems and re-instate some basic accountability. I‘m pretty sure we have sent people to prison for running a botnet before and slapped material fines on torrenting operatio

That seems crazy expensive. In Germany small-self install kits are quite popular. Hitting up amazon.de shows kits for around € 0.3/watt

I have used neither in quite a while now but there is an alternative from jetbrains that i started using because it shares the same ergonomics and had better (?) documentation. https://lets-plot.org/python/

While I don’t think you’re wrong with respect to the mechanics of the algorithm favoring „engaging“ content. However at the same time I do think that they have the finger on the scales because the media company’s know full well what they’re

Russia and China would likely disagree as they count their gains: - yet another massive blow to their trust and reputation among allies - again massively undermining NATO thereby fostering global instability - weakened credibility vis a vi

I don’t think it’s misleading (at all) when you take into account that the index is volume weighted. If you held two different stocks: 1 from megacorp worth 90; 1 from smallcorp worth 10; if megacorp is down 10% while smallcorp is up 10%. Y

Just because it's a binary choice doesn't make it a 50/50 chance. Flipping a fair coin (50/50) is different from flipping a weighted coin (say 80/20) even though the possible outcomes are the same.

would you care to clarify on this? are you saying the current administration has been corrupted by foreign adverseries? or has the administration been outsmarted by foreign adverseries?

Can someone enlighten me what people actually use this for? The article mentions „managing your calendar, responding to emails, file your taxes“ The bottleneck for emails and my calendar is not the speed at which I can type/click some

I wouldn’t worry too much about those threats. This administration is so erratic that you may see those same threats made against you for any other reason down the line even if you keep it put.

Maybe the implementation will be challenging in one aspect or another but are there any reasons why you would you rather keep the current patchwork?

I‘d draw a different conclusion namely that it’s decidedly pro republican via omission. There is not a single reference to the current administration‘s role (which Vance is obviously part of) in dismantling the US democratic norms and insti

But then again the oldest trick in the authoritarian‘s playbook is to abandon the path of democracy by tilting the scales in their party’s favor. which is why you want strong independent institutions and separation of powers in a democracy,

I'm honestly curious what those methods may be and what the the target audience for this propaganda is? You're mentioning that average Americans would not notice, so is this American propaganda targeted at Americans?

Deterrence works. That's why the cold war is remembered as the cold war and not the hot war. Zelensky knows this while Trump is publicly taking all leverage (NATO membership, security guaranties) off the table while the Russians have n
