That's not what democratizing means. It doesn't refer to regulation or oversight, but rather to worker ownership and organisation of the group or business in question. Collectively owned / horizontally managed businesses do e

I'm genuinely curious, is this just edgy humour, or is there any culture that regularly eats cat?

Responses to caffeine vary wildly, but personally I experience acute anxiety a couple of hours after even one cup. It took me many years as a regular coke / tea / coffee drinker to figure out that was causing daily anxiety. I do w

This forum is so out of touch with reality sometimes I'm just left blinking and shaking my head. 20,000 dollars is an enormous amount of money to a supermajority of people in the developed world. Almost half an annual wage for most ind

I'm a filmmaker... I don't know a single DOP or director who wishes they could work in HD but is limited by finances or knowledge. Again, shaping light is the essence of cinematography. Modern DSLRs far surpass the dynamic range (

Not the OP, but you have to understand that 'compression of the dynamic range' is an artistic tool. Literally choosing the lighting ratio of an image is how you build out lighting for a scene. With AI overwriting these choices, yo

They were collecting data. The theory had already been worked out at that point, but it required data to be put to use. I think this does broadly fit within the framework of Popperian falsification that OP is describing. But I'd also a

I don't think there's a coherent point here. Jury nullification can occur in most common law jurisdictions (i.e.: legal systems that descend from the British legal system). There's no specific limit (say civil versus criminal

Large tech companies employ subcontractors specifically to take flak for this kind of thing. They save money, but more importantly deflect criticism by allowing subcontractors to engage in employment practices that break their own policies.

Is this something that has changed with the newer phones? I have an iPhone 12 pro, and MagSafe barely holds the wireless charging circle to the back of the phone.

Think it through - there are a literally infinite number of such potentially patentable non-innovations. And such lawsuits are expensive and time consuming. Meanwhile the bar to entry for patent trolls is extremely low. That would be and en

It would be consistent with motivating the confused cognition (e.g.: her rambling and contradictory statements in the article linked by OP), and producing false or disingenuous allegations. However so could lots of other things. My point wa

Just to be clear. I'm not a psychologist or psychoanalyst. I trained as a psychoanalyst (and not in the US) but don't practice. Also to note - the APA don't represent psychologists or psychoanalysts, but rather psychiatrists.

Sure - since talk therapy was pioneered it's vacillated wildly in approach between what we would today call depth and cognitive approaches. At times the emphasis has been entirely on teaching socialisation and behavioural strategies, a

Recovered memories are not a valid source of evidence. We should always presume the accused is innocent, that's the basis of any reliable justice system. Especially when no evidence is presented beyond extremely dubious self report.

It's still trivial to block ads, but the delay has recently started for me, after never happening before. So presumably a very intentional volley in the ongoing war to own your attention.
