Ironically I’ve heard this same argument used to justify a negative reaction to everything from gay people, to women in a niqab. Maybe the issue is that having a “valid feeling” is like having an asshole? Yes, it’s real, yes we all have the

Buy them to be honest, then pirate a useable format from audiobookbay, they have everything... which strongly implies that the DRM is shock horror useless. The author gets paid because you bought it, and you get to use it as you see fit..

It’s important to point out that this case is about Roundup as a whole product, of which less than half is glyphosate, not just glyphosate. Some other posts here go over this in more detail.

Electronic banking is defrauded on a regular basis, including at the endpoint using jackpot schemes and more. It’s acceptable for banking given the amounts stolen are ultimately trivial, but not for voting.

A cyclist can cause a swerve and crash, or just be the one killed. You can argue in the latter case that the cyclist is the only one hurt, but fault aside, most people will be devestated if they kill someone else.

I don't know anything about that, but if it’s not coordinated behavior then why would it run afoul of a detector? Maybe Muskies are just way more easily angered than everyone else, so their actions coordinate, but they’re doing it spon

As far as I can tell there are just two moderators, and this is a big website. Is it possible that they’re just focusing on what gets the most flags and not scouring every post? Maybe the pro-Tesla people flag articles critical of the brand

The article here has a lot of information that the one you linked to does not. I understand the fatigue, but this is no dupe.

That’s the POD-2, Pesky Occupant Detection. If it detects difficult friends, spouses, or in-laws a hefty dose of Versed is delivered to the passenger. Relief for the driver within minutes guaranteed!

Your freedom to not get vaccinated is impinging on my freedom not to die from some totally avoidable pathogen. When freedoms are incompatible someone’s freedom has to be curtailed. I vote for the irrational and dangerous freedom to be curta

Those unfortunate children would be robbed or the valuable skill set based on learning how to learn, how to seek knowledge when it’s not just a Google search away. Learning facts may seem useless, but again, it teaches you how to learn, h

It is Magic, and a single container will last for so many rounds of popcorn you wouldn’t believe it. I found as a trick you add the falvacol to the popcorn and oil before popping, not after for the best results. Bonus? House smells like goo

So much better. It also lets you imitate movie theater flavors if that’s your thing, with refined coconut oil and some Flavocol. As a bonus you can find the kind of popping corn you prefer. For me, I love the smaller “hullless” varieties, t

From development to widespread acceptance QM didn’t take very long, because of course it’s possible to test to a high degree of accuracy. Flat Earth was debunked many centuries (millennia really) ago, but still persists. I’m not sure how mu

Again with the LIDAR argument... Humans drive using only eyes (computer vision) and having a sense of location (localization/3D maps). As has been discussed in some depth here before you commented, computer vision hooked up to some M

That number always comes up, and it always needs to be said that a billion miles with driver assist and a billion miles under autopilot are not the same, and it’s a bogus figure. As to better than a human, it needs to be better than the hum

Our eyes are incredibly advanced compared to any camera in existence, and hooked up to a real life AGI, and we still fuck up. No comparison. We meatbags are still far more sophisticated and battle tested than anything said meatbags managed

Just wait until they admit that they need LIDAR too... Cha Ching! Various Autopilot accidents strongly imply that whatever the computer “brain” is doing doesn’t matter if it doesn’t have sufficient “eyes” to actually see things like a fire

What viewpoints do you feel are underrepresented? Personally I’m not convinced that all viewpoints require “airtime” and I’d prefer not to endure anti-vaxxer, flat earth, creationist, ariosophy, QAnon, or whatever David Icke is raving about

If we’re calling 4 people killed a massacre, then the word has just lost all meaning. It was horrible, criminal, and infamous, but massacre is hyperbole especially when compared to the thousand+ (someone else in this thread posted a BBC art

It’s still comparing the deaths of four people to the deaths of well over a thousand. On every level of the comparison it’s dishonest, from antecedent to impact to aftermath. There really is no comparison except thst both events are called

There’s a difference, namely that you can say “Kent State” and look it up online, read about it in textbooks, see the newspaper articles, and discuss it online without fear. Try that with the Tiananmen Square massacre in China. Another diff

Currently the price is free, and comes bundled with uMatrix, and a cookie flush. I’d like to pay the NYT for their journalism, but only with money, not the ability to track me. As a result they get no money, and no tracking.

Yeah, but they’re delivering something so far from what was promised to get funding, and from the bulk of their patents that DNF is a better comparison. They promised the world, photonics magic, and they’re delivering a strikingly sub-par H
