Language ought to "cleave reality at the joints" - i.e. approximate an information-theoretically optimal encoding. If you start screwing over the 99.9%ile case to slightly improve the remaining 0.1%, you are not approximating an o

The EU can certainly claim any absurd jurisdiction they like, but how are they planning to enforce this? Ultimately it seems the primary thing they can do is censor Discord from EU internet.

My question as well. Can a non-EU company simply refuse to pay, and also refuse to block users from the EU? I wonder if the EU would decide to block access to the foreign service as a result. It would at least force them to be honest about

I recently saw a giant plush coca-cola can with the text changed to "cloaca" in some guy's car. Is that a known joke? I thought it was pretty funny

My moral belief is that being blasted with blinding amounts of light amounts to trespass and/or assault, and fully justifies a forceful response against the source of aggression (namely, the billboard). Obviously this is not going to b

The dynamic here is fairly straightforward. When you have new growth industries like tech, there are a lot of badly-protected resources available. There is a class of people (often called the "professional managerial class", or &q

What is up with the fact that like 95% of people in "polyamorous" relationships have a very identifiable set of phenotypes? A lot of them are pudgy, low muscle mass, pasty, etc. Not trying to throw shade - legitimately curious why

In big cities with progressive DAs, Police enforce the law and punish criminals who e.g. steal: they expose themselves to physical risk, and are likely to be accused of racism, lose their job, possibly go to jail. E.g. the recent case of 4

The rapper/producer Deko has been doing some very interesting stuff with adding vocaloid synth characters to rap/hyperpop music. He has two vocaloid "characters", Lil Yammeii and Lil Hard Drive. Most vocaloid rap I liste

Doomer fatalism is nearly as dumb as sci-fi optimism. It's 100% physically plausible, using technology we have today , to make humanity star-faring. The costs would be exorbitant at this point, but within the reach of human productive
