I haven't been able to think of solutions that aren't worse than what they're doing. I'm extremely wary of the government forcing Facebook to behave a certain way because of the First Amendment.

You're free to disagree. But you're not free to force me or HN or anyone else to host your disagreement. To do so would be a violation of their free speech.

How do you figure? The only thing I see that's wrong about this is that I don't pay the EFF to tell private companies what to do. I pay them to stop the government from turning fascist. They're not wrong about Facebook being

I can't find the expression "den parlamentarischen Sumpf" anywhere. The article seems to imply that Hitler used it. Does anyone have a source of him saying it or writing it?

Also doesn't work correctly for me on Chrome Android 13 on a 4a. Missing terrain. But it works on Firefox! :)

I've been through DEI training at two different jobs. In both jobs, the trainings were about learning to ignore any biases one might have in order to hire the most qualified candidate, FWIW.

I admit this is my personal shortcoming, but when the IDE pops up anything while I'm typing I find it very distracting and damaging to my flow. It feels like someone interrupting me every spoken syllable. And they commonly cover up oth

I'd try Windows 11, but it doesn't support my hardware. ;-p

IMHO this nails it. I finally caved to one of those "balanced news" sites because someone had a 50%-off sale. They have a feature where you can see news stories that are being ignored by either liberal or conservative outlets. It&

Do these numbers include denials when a provider bills more than the negotiated rate? I see this happen all the time with my insurer.

Also in the US before Obamacare many people couldn't afford to see a specialist at all. Trade-offs.

The "Can We Spot It" section is interesting. When I read it, it definitely reminds me of someone. But when my friend, a supporter of that someone, reads it, they're not. And in fact, they're reminded of the other team.

And him saying NBC could lose it's license for giving airtime to Trump's opponents...? Where does that land?

I honestly don't understand how this has been allowed to stand all these years.

This resonates for me. I really, really did not like being in GATE in the 1980s for the same reasons. Also, now as a college instructor, I really like flipped classrooms.

We need more real data. Last time I went through security at SFO there were no other passengers there.

Sony Music has zero reason to guard against false positives if they win this. Innocent people are going to have their service canceled. What are the odds this SCOTUS makes the right decision?

by beej71 2y ago
True. But at least in my state, the remaining documentation is trivial, especially if you have a DMV ID or driver license.

I think the immunity thing is more of an issue than any particular criminal past.

The boot camp I taught at years ago certainly wouldn't make sense today with the curriculum they had when I left. They'd have to have updated it significantly to be even remotely competitive with university graduates.

I don't disagree, but installing face scanners at the same location humans do face scanning and using them the same as they used the humans is not the same as mass surveillance.

I also can't see the tracking difference between a human verifying your identity and entering that into a database and a computer verifying your identity and entering that into a database. But it's still a valid concern as to whet

Since a lot of people don't have insurance, I think the number is useful. Also what the actual fuck with that markup?

And the more I think about this, it's a really interesting perspective. My friend in the million dollar house probably prefers to be a not sucker victim. Could be a fundamental difference, there.

by beej71 2y ago
Maybe. But I guess at the end of the day I'll take being a non-victimized sucker. :)

Sounds like the people who live there might beg to differ with you.

Here's a weird story. I found a PDF of an algorithms book I liked on Anna's. Not a scan, but an original PDF. It's a good book, so I decided I should buy it. But I don't keep a physical shelf anymore. The thing is, the p
