The security community didn’t ignore hard evidence - the “hard evidence” didn’t stand up to basic scrutiny. These claims may well be false, but they deserve scrutiny, and waving them away while perpetuating a much repeated lie isn’t helping

Time scale. Viral load has increased dramatically over what it was like 1000 years ago. The change over the past 100 years is all lifespan due to antibiotics and the sterility another comment is pointing the finger at. It’s possible that vi

Any evidence for that, or is this entirely opinion?

I mean there’s pretty low hanging fruit mentioned in the article. If rail strikes are frequent enough to feature in the formula, end the strikes by paying the workers well.

Copyright law was created because technology came along and made it so copying was easy. We could have thrown up our hands and said well we can’t escape it, these tools exist! But instead we used culture and law to create a framework where

All the creators of the original images ingested by midjourney? You understand that if we had the transparency to make a list of names, this wouldn’t be as insidious of a problem for artists, yes?

Listen, mozilla's got problems - we can agree on that, and you don't need to compare me to a putin apologist to make that point. But "go woke go broke" is dumb sloganeering and plainly false. It's not a description

This is so transparently copyright laundering. Copyrighted Images go in, “ai created” copyright-free images come out. Ugh.

Yeah: firefox. Is the browser ecosystem supposed to get better if we collapse it to just webkit and blink? Websites track us, browsers track us, web extensions track us, ISPs track us, OSs track us, cell networks track us. Government passin

Yeah, that’s the ol’ philosopher-king argument. I get it, but I don’t really buy into it. I.e. if the next monarch is a despot, their rule is a part of the previous monarch’s actions… so even a truly good king will inevitably harm the peopl

Slavery was “abolished” in the UK while that same nation continued to traffic and profit from enslavement for quite a long time it’s “abolition”. Is your point that monarchy is good, or that slavery is associated with all forms of governmen

Relatively common in history .

The UK abolished slavery by an act of parliament. A parliamentary monarchy is a historical quirk that does not need the monarchy to function.

Monarchy does not prevent enslavement. In fact, serfdom is a relatively common feature of monarchy. That’s what those two things have to do with each other.

What does that have to do with monarchy?

Because you want to get hacked? Seriously. Without cors, js on any site you visit can make requests as you to anywhere. The only thing protecting you would be security through obscurity.

As someone who deeply loves LOTR - if you try to apply the rules of LOTR to this world, you will make this world worse. This is true. Inheritance and monarchy does not make for a good government, and we know this. But LOTR is about vibes n

Well. We’ve come full circle. If you want to go back to the comment where i said “When trying to communicate information to people, it’s best to meet them where they’re at.” And then you can have the conversation as many time as you like. F

And that’s exactly the kind of gender inclusive language they are purging. Because this executive order attempts to define a person with a vagina as a women and only a women.

Can you give an example of gender being put into texts where it doesn’t matter? Or are you just buying the talking points of an administration that has no qualms deleting women’s health data and osha regulations wholesale?

When trying to communicate information to people, it’s best to meet them where they’re at. If i start calling you she when you would like to be called he or they, will you hear what i am saying or will you get hung up on being misgendered?

Meanwhile off-by-one errors are ludicrously common… People can learn to deal with adding 1, but it’s still a cognitive encumbrance that loads us down and makes life harder. Not that I’m advocating for one-based indexing. At this point consi

I’d say you’re looking at this wrong - the harm of a “dei” article staying up is nonexistent. The harm of an article about women’s health or workplace safety being taken down because it includes the word “gender” or “diverse” has the potent

You said “LBQT focussed articles” when every example in the grandparent comment was about women’s health. So, who benefits from the articles? Well, women for starters.
