"Deleted from social media" is a pretty weak definition of "being cancelled". Regardless of whether you agree or not "cancelling" is more about large scale boycott of a person and the media or services associat

Disclaimer: I know basically nothing about ML. I think the idea is that data needed to imitate a _specific person_ would require less data. Overall a model like that might have orders of magnitude more data in general and maybe a smaller am

I can appreciate that solution. Admittedly I didn't know anything about the app since I don't have access to any device to view it.

They don't mean literally nobody cares about the product, just that this conversation isn't necessarily related directly to the product but more about design in general. My original point is just that it's a design that locks

Your argument against escaping is the same one against input sanitization. Literally you cannot know where all your data will go when storing it so how do you even begin to sanitize that data? No special characters? Alphanumerics only? You&

Agree and Disagree. Sanitization has it's place, but from a user perspective it's better to just outright reject (through validation) inputs that aren't valid. There are often unexpected ways that data gets into the system (I

Insert using SQL parameters is "escaping". The parameterization ensures that the data being passed gets interpreted by the DB as the expected data type by ensuring special characters aren't interpreted as "special"

The YubiKey's that support NFC are all significantly larger. The Nano does not currently support NFC. Size is a challenge with NFC specifically as I believe larger NFC chips lead to larger area of allowable communication.

Just a thought on point number 2. I fully agree with you that a good "product" and design is a reason for people to pick one content provider over another. It's almost exclusively about what content a provider has access to.

to be fair "Free and open" is different than "Free and Open Source". Open source has a much stronger connotation than open and I could certainly see calling it open if the source is available for the core of the product.
