Stripe was not the first to do something like this with an audio jack, but honestly it shows how important/useful open and standards can be. It’s even more a shame to see them replaced by proprietary or extremely complex standards. For

What? “Diverse information diets are not a good thing, because most people are not equipped to understand what is reasonable.” Do you realize how elitist and even authoritarian that statement is.

Even then you normal would not sue the company providing the radio broadcasting equipment. Just the production making that particular radio content. Some times they were the same, but they could be different entities. Section 230 also prote

You can still sue the poster. Section 230 just means you cant sue the service provider for defamation and slander. Do you think phone service providers should be sued for conversations their subscribers have? Similar thing. Also without it

If a self driving car is only as good as the average driver then by definition 50% of people are a better. How is that a fallacy? It also could be considerably higher depending on the skew of the distribution. Depending how much bad drivers
