Segments of the world with different ideological views represented by their governments. If the behavior was blatantly unethical, which I don’t think it is, it would be illegal everywhere. Just because my opinion is different than the popul

Well, that’s how the other side feels, yes. The closest thing this entire thread has given as evidence of overfishing is that a journalist was killed for meddling in government affairs, which has nothing to do with overfishing.

Your comments about violence in America are generally naive. I assume you’re a young person. As I stated in another comment, yes, it’s ideological differences on which we differ.

All done through the ISP, a related party, having absolutely nothing to do with stalking. Poor argumentation.

It was on completely ideological grounds that we differed. (Which is also against the HN rules to argue about.) I was attracted to the industry effectively to verify authentication through device fingerprinting. Others, en masse, are drawn

An unrelated third party can’t surveil your browsing without malicious software or hardware intervening.

Well, your discomfort makes it clear you’re not American poor. Verbal confrontations, even disagreements led along insults, are enough to get shot where I’m from. Obviously nothing about that is a good thing. My point is that the internet i

Insults in person start fights. It’s only the privacy of the internet that lets you do it here. Kashoggi was a journalist investigating government corruption. The context of reasonable internet privacy is completely irrelevant. What does

If you peruse down the flagged comment nearby you’ll see maxbond backhandedly agree that I only care about myself. I’m not one to punch people in the face, but that’s grounds to be punched in the face in any bar. That being said, it’s perfe

I started getting a PhD in device fingerprinting and quit when it became apparent that my views were relatively far removed from most people in the field. I’m trying to say that the current privacy situation is good enough. The status quo c

Would be nice if I could respond to all of you in one place, because y’all are more or less saying the same thing. In don’t appreciate the personal attacks on my character. It’s really a testament to my point, though. The internet is privat

I got out of academic fingerprinting research when I realized I was on the wrong side of the discussion. I’ve just never seen or heard of privacy violations that particularly bothered me.

Do you know the lifetime of current battery technology? Expected years until 80% capacity, etc.? Asking because I don’t know.

I only engaged you out of an interest in opening and expanding my viewpoint. (Just stating my perspective with no intention of offending:) I went into this under the assumption that you are jealous of rich folk and have a misplaced sense of

Typically, you can save money by buying the exact same situation that you would rent. Whether or not that exact situation is available to purchase, or if you would even want to own it (owning a small studio might not make sense) is a differ

The laws are in place in part because of discrimination. It happens to be Disney in this case. You confirmed that you’re dishonest by omission in your example. The fact that a counteroffer exists shows that it’s not implied you were forthwi

As if any negotiating business isn’t “deceitful”. You’re basically arguing for discrimination to be legal.

It’s just too expensive. Using the full GPT4 context window, for example, costs almost $2.00! Obviously it would be much cheaper at scale, and like you said, it doesn’t have to be cutting edge. But still, the compute for an interaction with

That’s beside the point. There are mountains of controlled evidence that exercise is extremely good for you.

The graph uses 2008, 2019, and 2022 as indices. This could just as easily be a graph exploring the effects of the pandemic. I doubt Germany’s last tick would be in that direction were it not for the pandemic, for example.

You’ve jumped to a conclusion here. If you take a step back further, you will see that your meaning is dependent on the fact that life has evolved. Prior to the existence of life, the “meaning” should be the same. If your meaning is depende

It’s such a new area legally that there aren’t precedents for this. Consider dietary supplements as an example of a product that doesn’t have to provide their own safety data.

At least one of the human trials is taking place currently. I hope good things come of it. Can’t help but express sadness that it’s taken this long for serious adoption simply because there’s little money to be made in an unpatentable plant

The notion that you need cutting edge books to educate yourself is poorly informed. There are countless well written resources for every aspect of a good education available for free online. They are often not as easy to find as their well-

Having a cluttered garage and having the right tool for the job are completely unrelated. I’m not 100% following the discussion, though. Most software work can be done with vi and nothing else. Working with your hands, on the other hand, re

These scientists need to get over it and work around it. This article frames the problem as if the value proposition of the science and the satellites is remotely similar. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Satellite telecommunication

I’ve always pondered the exercise value of moving weights, especially 45s, on and off the bar. Ultimately, I don’t think it affects gains for an elite lifter. The “reps” you get moving the weights don’t conform to any reasonable pattern for

Well, cases like this one will determine if it’s obfuscated infringement or fair use.

I like the mainstream Lamborghinis today better than Countach. They’re just with the times and you like a classic Lamborghini.
