The more specific criticism in Germany in the 60s was that may of the then-current elites had also been in positions of power two decades before, as (literal) Nazis.

If that's all you learnt from the pandemic, the professors and researchers have beaten you by orders of magnitudes, again.

Haha, funny. But not true. At least in the times before you-know-who , politicians went through the wildest contortions to avoid lying. Yes, there's Clinton and a few other fun examples. But they are sparse. What happens is that peopl

Services and manufacturing are fungible and the rest of your tough guy act is even less convincing. Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk all came from at least upper-middle class background. None of them was ever at risk of starvation. The

This feels like mullad is trying to tell us something? Or, maybe, it's just slightly inept at lobbying for their cause? It should really end with a specific call to action, or at least mention if there's any legislation going thro

Hiding "artificial" things isn't universal in the west. From the 1950s, plastic was very much in style. It's a backlash starting in the 90s against some excesses (pollution, traffic, Tschernobyl) that saw a rising apprec

Based on the n=1 study that is myself, I would call it "the favourite poem of people who don't like poetry", which is either high praise or the opposite. Those lines also speak to our times.

I tend to find it somewhat gauche to shill for your own country[0] in such an obvious way. It’s transparently obvious that it’s not objective, and all it does is leave an ugly impression of the speaker, the country, and, in this case, the m

Do you really believe that if they scan your photo library at 10am and don't get any false positives, another scan five hours later, with no changes to the library, has the same chance of getting false positives as the first one, indep

What? No... Or, more accurately: if you need "dozens of trillions" that implies a false positive rate so low, it's practically of no concern. You'd want to look up the poisson distribution for this. But, to get at this i

You think vaccinated people die from COVID and people think they were hit by a bus? Enough to make the ratio 150:17850 in roughly equally-sized populations of vaccinated and unvaccinated people? So for every hundred people dying from COVI

Find experiments using the same instruments, and you can compare raw numbers, sometimes. But, to get a general idea: just look at the values they got across their population, remove any extreme outliers, and put it next to some chart using

So they are picking the weakest examples to make a point they are applying to the whole category. By that logic, guinea pigs are terribly dangerous because, one time, someone stepped on one, fell, and hit their head.

“You used to be able...” “... with no attempt to fix” is somewhat contradictory. And, of course, the whole comment is inane. The MacOS security model these days very effectively prevents apps from accessing data outside their assigned sandb

This is not a cryptographic use of hashing, but just simplification/identification. There is nothing to gain from being able to impersonate some malware because you could always just include the malware itself to match any hash.
