Every time I hear this "Reddit is conservative-biased" I wonder if people are living in the same reality as I am. I just checked /r/all, the first political post is related to the Canadian trucker protest of which suppor

Well, to provide a different case, compare the situation of the US corporate space to the US government. Both are flawed efficiency wise, but boy does the one with no incentives behave as expected.

I don't get this "promotion = leaving". I'm pretty sure there's a very sizable chunk of people leaving because they're stuck.

Fast food is one of those cases where I'm completely happy to get their ads for a similar reason to the poster above. Youtube's non video ads too, though for a completely different reason (I get the oddest ads for spinal implants

You can sue, as said google fonts case awarded damages. I'm now wondering if I can scale this for profit.

Sounds like protectionism when they can't compete. The EU isn't exactly a shining star for tech development, probably because the culture there kneecaps it every step of the way.

Difficult? Not so much. Demanding a yet another great firewall on the other hand sounds absolutely atrocious to me.

Literally in the same boat, down to the phone model. I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and give up on the jack.

A bit of a sidetrack, but that seems like a pretty high number to me. At least in my part of the world, the numbers are at least an order of magnitude lower.

Something like this, though I haven't touched this in a while https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7992110/ I had this debate with a friend a year ago, and when we dug into the literature, it was

It's because the only people conflating the two are deliberately doing so in bad faith to score political points.

I'm not sure how bumping them up a grade is any better. It's that not just a massive waste of time for everyone involved?

Far from overwhelming. I thought so too, but that's largely from the correlation between poor quality households and use of severe physical abuse, as well as bucketing all corporal punishment from spanking to bashing them with closed f

>First, speech is not wholly "centralized" on private platforms. The purpose of platforms is to provide a centralized service for content, but platforms don't have the power to eliminate alternate forums for speech. There

I remember early on in December 2020? when the first rumblings of some odd disease in wuhan emerged, largely in oddball enclaves like 4chan and some subreddits. In the right wing circles I was familiar with, they did talk about this, and we

So, basically rather than the old culture of free speech, what we have now is: You're free to speak, but as speech is centralized on private platforms, they get to make sure that nobody will ever hear you. This is good (tm). And the Am

This is a relatively recent change, and for a while expandable pools was definitely an advantage of BTRFS over ZFS.

Both sides censor, but the left certainly has more power to do so now, controlling what is essentially the entirety of modern communication and higher education.

In the end, it breaks down like this. AD (Youtube) Youtube says watch AD, then I'll give you the video. Pirate/Contested term: I will technologically circumvent the process and take the video anyway. Traditional piracy: Store says

My personal take on this is that it's the dark side of multiculturalism. The loss of the melting pot as a cultural meme was probably a sign of this. Social cohesion depends on a set of shared values. The "melting pot", for it

Honestly, I'm mixed. On one hand that's basically false advertising. On the other, I despise external incentives that aim at gender, so anything that hacks this sounds good to me. I'll probably slant to the former though.

That's a lot of text to rationalise it to yourself. It's at least in the spirit of piracy, and that's OK.

So congratulations, you've regulated a middleman into the process. What a great day for humanity and a victory for regulatory capture.

Strong disagree. This is more to me like Germany having jack all of a tech sector and trying their hardest to drag the rest of the world to their level.

Hahahahaha. I'm sorry, but that was a pretty incredible claim. The journals sure as hell aren't paying for peer review, or at least nobody I know has gotten paid for it. Peer review is basically a gratis service done by other rese

Are you surprised that they recommend vaccines though? Even if natural immunity gave absolutely perfect immunity, it would make sense to recommend vaccines to the uninfected population.

1: CO2's already in the air. You gotta get it out somehow. If this (or some other approach) is sufficiently efficient, then I'm happy. 2: Solar is unreliable, requiring tiding over on nights/cloudy days/etc. In theory, t
