They probably want to make sure that the women have actual medical care when delivering, rather than having a baby when nobody is around. I still think it's pretty awful, but it may be an attempt to be less awful given the awful state

The article says the prisons are probably doing it for "liability reasons." Given the horrible state of medical care in prison in general, they're probably trying to make sure that labor happens with doctors available, rathe

Shadow banning was originally used to stop spammers who didn't really care about engaging with anyone. At least, that's what the forums I was moderating back when it was new were doing with it, we were just trying to dump the peo

There were multiple levels of "VF" (visibility filtering) at Twitter, including things like manual de-trending of particular topics, and banning accounts from showing up on search.

It's a bit of both, though it looked like the robots were roombas or something. And I think the cleaning would only matter on longer stays, since I believe they'd still have to turn over the room between guests.

> Hotels have raised hourly wages by 25% since early 2020, and employers are offering greater flexibility in scheduling. Still, workers are nowhere to be seen. I dunno, my pay sure hasn't gone up by 25% in the past 2 years.

Or how come "boomer" isn't listed under ageism? It's not like anyone choose to be born then and it's literally used as a slur.

That was a piece of tempered glass, as we can tell due to the way it broke into tiny pieces. Due to the tempering process, where it's heated then quenched by large fans, the glass is under stress that's concentrated at the edges,

There's no scale on that map, but the marker shown appears to be right next to Huntington Memorial Airport.

No, you can find it on the Wayback machine from a year ago. They only added a new sentence to it clarifying that they're worried about things that threaten someone's safety.

From the article: > Twitter took action against Mastodon after the account linked to the Mastodon page of @ElonJet, a student-made bot that tracks the whereabouts of Musk’s private jet.

I mean, apparently it's all about ElonJet based on the story, so "without explanation" doesn't make since here, since they're going by a pre-existing policy about real-time tweeting of one's current physical lo

I wasn't aware of those being on Twitter, but they're absolutely horrible for privacy.

Elon is claiming this is the new standard going forward: "[Elon] added that any account revealing people's real-time locations will be suspended "as it is a physical safety violation"."

Yeah, I think most people have a misconception that Geography is memorizing maps or whatever they did as a kid in school, but it's a lot more than that.

I mean, I agree that coin-op journals are a problem in their own right, but most of those coin-op journals aren't considered leading journals of their field: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender,_Place_%26_Culture

One might be forgiven for thinking that 'coin-operated journals' was already a pretty damning indictment.

That's pretty much what I did, save that I never had to replace my printer and I'm on the 2nd thing of toner since many, many years ago. For someone who doesn't print a whole lot, but occasionally needs to print a bit, it ha

Yeah, but they got steadily easier as time progressed. I remember when people started complaining that games were "too easy" after that, because RPGs went from games like Ultima or Wizardry where you might have to keep your own de

It's funny you say that because in some of the more beloved games like Pac-Man, the ghosts follow definite patterns to the point where you can learn a route through a level such that the ghosts will never catch you.

Games were brutally hard back then because they wanted you to spend more quarters. And they did have tutorials, either written on the side of the arcade cabinet, or via the main screen showing a little bit of game play to give you the idea
