I just sent you a long article which you could not have read in the time it took you to reply. I would suggest you start there and read that article, which outlines several cases where the author was able to create contrived false positives

Not my article, but this is quite convincing of the brittle nature of these tools. https://freddiedeboer.substack.com/p/i-wouldnt-say-pangram-i...

The party in charge initiated this and inflation / bad economy aren’t usually winning electoral strategies.

Not true at all. USA will see large scale inflation. Oil and derivatives are basically the central global commodities.

What if all services require ID? Let’s take a basic example: Wikipedia, which hosts pornography, easily could be a target of such legislation. Now there is infrastructure in place to know when you read about “Criticisms of policy X” and may

Don’t you think that it’s a signal that the last major event you can point to is decades old? Others may say “what about Uighurs?” or “what about Hong Kong?” but I think that the rest of the world is not doing all that much better on terms

Up until a couple months ago, none of these people would even describe themselves as “Iranian.” They would all use another term to distinguish between themselves and those living in Iran.

> You can't then say that the West Bank is not responsible for what the rest of Palestine did. Collective punishment is a war crime.

You moved the goal posts, at least on what I inferred the point to be. Nothing is an “ultimate deterrent” to war.

I love this concept. I was recently thinking about how I used to be able to skip from one channel to another when an ad break came on. I would love the harness on a smart device to be like this so that I may switch between the Hulu and Netf

Yes, Reagan was noted for his desire to avoid privatization of anything. /s Kidding aside, the US has had libertarian pipe dreams for the better part of its history. The aberration was the New Deal period up until the mid 60s.

The point the OP is making is not about the justification used by the US Admin, but instead a point about how when a country has nuclear weapons, they are typically not invaded, because you risk those weapons being used. NK developed a weap

At some point, one should ask oneself, “is fully breaking the system the point?” In the recent Epstein releases, Epstein told Thiel that the best deals come from a system on the way to collapse. I think at this point it’s reasonable to cons

Trump hasn’t managed to adequately combat inflation though. Last I heard, it’s ticking up once more.

This seems like the most obvious, legal, and direct way to stigmatize use of these glasses. Put a phone up to their face and say “I might be recording you.”

At proper breaking distance, it’s probably negligible.

Because the power users of the max plan are subsidized at the upper end of usage by people who don’t approach the per account limit. In other words, the power users are getting more than they pay for, because most people don’t reach that th

Beyond any discussion of “vigilante” / “criminal” destruction of cameras, there’s a clear difference between giving domestic corporations (who act hand in glove with your local government) access to cameras on your property vs. giving

Because these tools are good at using frameworks with a lot of examples out there.

This is a very sensible way to structure an electricity market. It’s got to be set at the marginal price, otherwise you mess up incentives of cheaper producers.

Think about this like a market. Suppose yes, there is demand for your power at $1000/kwh. What is the market pressure here? Suddenly a ton of new capacity in solar, gas, etc, will come online and drive that price down because there wil

Hey, at least we live in America, and we’re not invited over for tea! And we don’t have all our biometrics scanned for use for government tracking. It’s just to guarantee our liberty. Land of the free, home of the brave, digital cage proudl

100% agree. It’s great if you have a clear sense of what you’re looking for but maybe have muddled the actual terminology. You can find words, concepts, books, movies, etc, that you haven’t remembered the name of for years.

Getting past the point that this is a discussion of something meaningless in the first place (posting as social activism), why might left leaning people talk more about an issue they might tangibly have impact on over one they can have no i

> it would likely cause change and or discussion by those in power. The reason this is an absurd comparison is because on the Palestine issues, it’s a desire to stop using / selling weapons into a conflict and on the Iran issue “cau

Again, what am I supposed to do about it? If one lives in one of most western countries, one’s government has sanctioned Iran to the gills. Even the government can do little more, except engage in war. Compare this to Palestine, where direc

by noah_buddy 8mo ago
It’s very strange to go “why isn’t the left doing anything about this conflict when they cared so much about Palestine?” My government doesn’t fund Iran.

Literally would not matter if he were violent prior to being shot. By the time that they shot him, he was face down on the floor and disarmed. That’s illegal in basically any context. It’s an execution.

I thought you were going to point out distinct etymology, but these terms do seem linked, no? Not surprising that the shared lineage confers shared problems.
