Shrug. I’m not sure what else to say. I’ve shown you that polling shows the majority support age verification. I have asked you to provide evidence of mainstream objection to this law, which you are unable to provide. You have asserted that

Discord’s own articles about this change explain that the fundamentals (content filtering) are applied to all accounts owned by teenagers worldwide. The only U.K. specific aspect of all of this is that if you tell Discord you are over 18 yo

You are simply over indexing for your own circle. Your circle (by virtue of being a nerd) is deeply biased towards people heavily influenced by U.S. attitudes towards freedom. I’m an internet nerd too, I know how easy it is to get caught up

The myth of things “not being talked about” in the mainstream is a convenient way to excuse being unable to provide any meaningful evidence that a notable portion of the country care about something. I know it might shock you but people on

Share some examples, then? I just took a look across all major U.K. mainstream news publications and I cannot find any outrage about these changes.

I lived in the U.K. for decades and I have lived in many other countries. I’ll criticise the U.K. government and society endlessly but to describe these changes as notable or remarkable relative to most other countries is nonsense. From a U

You are approaching this from a uniquely U.S. perspective. The U.K. is pretty middle of the road as far as “surveillance” and while this may offend the freedom-at-all-costs sensibilities, it’s a fairly milquetoast change. Visiting the Heine

Worried about money? They are already rich beyond their wildest dreams. They are, reasonably, excited about growing and expanding and building a company that does much more, but that is not driven by a need for money, it is driven by their

One of OpenAI’s early investors has been caught up in this. He is convinced that ChatGPT has helped uncover a conspiracy against him by a non-governmental system. Hard to summarize, you need to read it for yourself: https://xcanc

Sure, you can describe it that way if you want but that’s not the spirit of immigration law. A founder of a company (registered in the U.S. or overseas) visiting YC to raise money is not working in the local economy by the spirit of immigra

Work in the context of immigration means participating in the local economy. A person visiting SF to attend YC is not working for a U.S. company, they are not participating in the local economy, they’re on a business trip conducting busines

The supposed problem is being peddled by a company called Socure, who, coincidentally, offer the solution to this problem. There are absolutely "fake" remote workers floating around but to suppose this is some grand security-focus

Buried in the comments the OP acknowledges that this was specifically an AI role and that the OP was unprepared to be asked to vibe code in the interview, not that the OP was surprised the role itself involved vibe coding. We are reading it

Pages are dynamic, they change often: if a page is worth scraping once, it is worth scraping again and again and again to keep up to date with any changes.

Price is the issue. The 16-month waiting list is based on cost. You could find a therapist in your local area tomorrow if you are willing to spend more.

Disney are open about their droids being operator controlled. Unless nvidia took a Disney droid and built it to be autonomous (which seems unlikely) it would follow that it is also operator controlled. The presentation was demonstrating wha

“Dry powder” is cash on hand to fund acquisitions. Yes, it is one of the worst businessisms.

You could have said this: "I am the one who hired Preston. Whatever he has done in the past, I have all the evidence in the world in front of me to assure me that he has a transformed heart." Instead, you had to drag down others,

That is the good faith reading. The comment isn't open to interpretation. What could the meaning be if not that Preston is an uncommon example of a prisoner?

I'm saying that the judgement of a court is useless when making a personal judgement because what a court sets out to do is different to what a human sets out to do. The court system is a collection of complicated and convoluted standa

I'm responding to the claim that it's uncommon for someone in prison to have a good heart.

by abxyz 1y ago
My assertion is that "innocent until proven guilty" is a legal standard that applies to the courts because a system needs standards. People have the luxury of being able to use their judgement. My assertion is that choosing to def

If you're going to extend kindness to Preston then perhaps a little kindness towards others wouldn't go a miss either. Preston isn't rare, the prison system is filled with normal kind hearted people who were unfortunate in li

Yes, it is. The courts are flawed, the courts get things wrong all the time. Many innocent people are found guilty. If we must apply the legal standard to internet comments, must we condemn people we believe to be innocent? The legal standa

Marketplaces like atom.com, sedo.com, aftermarket.com, namecheap.com/market etc. have domain names priced for "end users" which means you'll probably see quite high prices (but you can often negotiate down). The best dea

They’re not that valuable. There are a lot of domains from the 90s that you can pick up for cheap. All 4L .coms sold out in the mid 2000s and on the open market they typically start around $350 for junk letters and go up from there. The OP
