Nah. My aunt supports mass deportation because she hates nonwhites. No outcomes matter to her other than ensuring a white society.

I'm genuinely trying to help but it is difficult if your response is to just insult people. I understand your post very clearly. What I am telling you is that what you describe is ordinary design across the industry. It is not unique t

> What is their lawful basis under the GDPR to keep it after I demand deletion? GDPR explicitly permits deletion timeframes. It does not demand that files are instantly destroyed as soon as you click the button.

Genuine advice. Just move on. It seems like you are proud of what you have done here and it is letting you spiral. You say that they’ve deleted more than a hundred of your posts and… yeah. If somebody is making hundreds of posts about this

Garry Tan is an anti-liberal who doesn't believe that democratic input in the functioning of the state is a good thing and that we should instead be ruled by a class of technocrats making the "right" decisions for us via a sy

Forward progress guarantee is what allows for conversion between recursion and iteration for performance optimization. Otherwise these have different characteristics (recursion blows the stack, a loop hangs).

This is what you get when you hire a TV personality who cares more about soldiers looking masculine (and white) than anything else and launch an illegal war for no reason other than "those guys make me angry." We are governed by p

Musk is actively promoting white supremacy with his voice and fortune. That's not run-of-the-mill.

How specifically would a balanced duopoly be safer?

If the position is that one of these models will go out of control and destroy humanity then why would having two such models be safer than one?

Public review originates from the democratic process. It is part of the legislation that created these agencies.

Why would there be precedent. Trump is running a spoils system. You don't obtain favor through reasoned argument. You obtain favor by making him like you personally.

I never quite realized this until just reading this and now it has come into sharp focus. Incredible. I've spent years trying to convince my director to have our org invest in documentation and monitoring to no avail. Now he is telling

What I am saying is that it is meaningless to use the plague as evidence for such a death toll of a virus in the future since conditions which are no longer present were a prerequisite for its death toll.

> Firstly, it's not even clear that naturally occurring viruses can't be extremely lethal. There are examples (eg black death). The plague is not actually that easily transmitted. Basic social hygiene prevents it. It is still a

Are they straw men if they are specific scenarios presented by widely read commentators? A straw man is when you misrepresent somebody's position to knock it down. But if Noah Smith wrote about a scenario where 90% of the population is

I am a father. I am an extremely involved parent and spend a ton of time with my son. I also would go absolutely insane if we didn't have any childcare for him. It is better for my ability to function as a good parent that I can hand h

"Reasonable expectation of privacy" covers whatever the public believes is reasonable. The original case creating this doctrine was about phone booths.

I am 100% confident that Stockfish will defeat me. If somebody said "I am 100% confident that AI will destroy humanity" I'd disagree but I'd at least understand how they arrived at that number. But here, why 10%? Why not

"Think poorly" is such an odd response here. Like, if people were genuinely doing a thing that had such a large probability of killing all humans... they should all be in prison. Heck, vigilanteism would start to look compelling.

I don't know about german politics, but here in the US this isn't what I observe. My aunt is a republican lobbyist. She is also a drunk. She gets drunk and texts us her unfiltered thoughts. She genuinely believes that the bulk of
