Deplatforming still exists while any curated platform still exists, which will (hopefully) be always. It shouldn't be possible for you to end up with nowhere to speak, that's why the public square exists, and I accept there is a n

Except the game still has to be tied to the token somehow. So when you get banned on Steam in that situation, you just have a worthless token that Steam will no longer respect. Some other store is going to respect that token you paid them n

Assuming anything new is bad because of a bad experience seems like a poor lesson to take. Of course you need to know what you are doing still, but pretending humans don't make mistakes even when they know what they are doing is ignori

This is only true insofar as the "solution" doesn't cause other problems itself. People bankrupting themselves on snake oil, or having other health issues due to weird diets, or avoiding actually proven medicine are all extre

When the US government finds its responsibility to limit the power of its companies (unless you are of the belief that their power should be unlimited), come back to me on that. Companies are a tool that should serve the public, if they cea

Sure, my point wasn't that there is no use case, just that there are use cases where it isn't necessary and—more than that—is counterproductive

Is it coincidence that it is so common toxic people end up being the ones "carrying the project", or is it that because they are toxic, they push away other contributors and create a fragile project with a bus factor of one? Seems

The same as every NFT: nothing beyond what everyone agrees to, which right now (and likely forever) is nothing. Well, I suppose separating speculators from their money is another answer.

They are financed by the right wing, and continuously release heavily edited and out of context versions of recordings to push a right-wing narrative. They have paid settlements and plead guilty for causing harm through their sting attempts

You elided my qualifier from your quote: "when we are talking about risks of completely unknown side effects"—the argument being made was that we can't possibly know the risks of the vaccine because we can't ever know wi

This argument makes no sense. Even if we completely ignore that some children do in fact die (being rare doesn't stop it being terrible when it happens and worth avoiding), and that even if they don't, suffering while ill is bad:

Pretty sure this isn't true? They have the memory in-package, but the storage is separate AFAIK. I believe they encrypt it with keys in the secure enclave in the SoC so it is tied to that chip, but not actually a part of it.

1) Why does that ignore the science? The evidence I see is that studies are ongoing but generally show no harm from vaccinating those people, and increased protection. If studies show otherwise, then policy makers should change the mandates

I honestly don't know, my instinct is that in terms of danger to others (which was the topic at hand) it probably is, but either way, that wasn't really relevant to my point.

by Latty 5y ago
What you can do is expect to be in an environment where everyone is vaccinated to give you the best possible safety. Of course there is always a risk, virtually nothing in this world is a guarantee, that doesn't mean all risks are equa

This is like asking why if seatbelts work, we don't let people drunk drive (obviously drunk driving is more dangerous than being unvaccinated, not claiming it's a perfect 1:1 analogy, before people complain, just making the point

An employer that allows some employees to endanger others is negligent, most importantly in terms of ethics, but also in terms of productivity. Your right to swing your fist ends at my face. If you want to work with people, you have to take

Better yet, just never do alignment. Obviously readability is subjective, but personally I find alignment is never valuable outside of tables of data, and I'd argue generally having tables of data embedded in your code isn't ideal

The Hyte Revolt 3 might fit the bill for a small case with a handle. If you weren't keen on a handle, I'd recommend the SSUPD Meshlicious instead though.

I'm a fan of Elm, and I'm using it in production, but I think this is very much a case of using some flaws in the way people see Elm to ignore some correct criticism of it. I've tried to push for fixing the use of CSS Custom

I agree with this to some extent, how direct should the harm be before you stop distributing it? I don't think there is an easy, obvious line there—direct calls to harm (murder these people) shouldn't be accepted, and I believe ev

There is a distinction between discussing a theory, and presenting it as the truth with no evidence. Not a distinction I imagine automated moderation systems are going to manage well, of course, but it exists.

You might want to check out Elm. It offers that "if it compiles, it works" guarantee, but does so much more simply and with excellent errors. You do pay for that in terms of having to write some boilerplate and not having some n

Then sell the product with ads and let people decide if they want to buy it with them or get something else. Don't sell someone hardware that operates seemingly without ads, then foist them on the user after-the-fact.
