My bad, I misremembered. 6 walking legs, two swimming legs, two pincer legs.

This device in particular basically maintains and obscures view of an open wound on your body, and must keep it protected at all times to limit the chance of a bad infection. I can certainly see why it took awhile to build up the trust that

No, we're left to suffer so we can keep coming back and handing them more profit. At least I can't think of a better reason for so many of the decisions our health "care" system makes.

So, having a bad lawn is ultimately worse than being convicted of a crime, maybe even of killing someone, since there's no sentence. There's no appeal. There's no concept of "doing your time". Your lawn goes brown,

Aah, I counted paragraphs - repeatedly - for some reason. That's my bad. That said, this is a statement completely unsubstantiated in the original post or in the post that it links to, or the decision in TFA. It's the poster'

> However, TikTok's decision to show the video to the child is TikTok's speech, and TikTok is liable for that decision. How is my interpretation incorrect, please? TikTok (or any other website like Google) can show a video to a

How did they find it? How did you see the tweet? How did the shared link show up in any of your pages? Also, lists of content (or blind links to random pages - web rings) have been a thing since well before Twitter or Dig.

Google is your friend. Sorry to be so trite, but there are literally dozens upon dozens of sources. One such example happened in 2008. The man's name is "Joseph Prudente", and he was jailed because he could not pay the HOA fi

So you believe that presenting the results (especially if you filter on something like 'relevance') of a search now makes the website liable? That's going to be hell for Google. Well, maybe not, they have many and decent lawy

Irrelevant and untrue. For example, just today there was a highly entertaining and interesting article about how to replace a tablet-based thermostat. And it was posted on the internet, and surfaced via an algorithm on Hacker News.

I used that more in the context of the "speciest" accusation; I don't consider robots to be a species, particularly a species worthy of forcing a theater to allow their entry on their own merits. You're right that using

Thanks to "Contempt of Court" anybody can go to jail, even if they're not found liable for the presented case. But more on point, we're discussing modification of how laws are interpreted. If someone can be held civilly

Now for a followup question: How does any website surface any content when they're liable for the content? When you can be held liable for surfacing the wrong (for unclear definitions of wrong) content to the wrong person, even Goo

> no one will go to jail Did you know that there's has been a homeowner jailed for breaking his HOA's rules about lawn maintenance? The chances are good that someone will go to jail.

That's just branding. It's called Home in Facebook and Instagram, and it's the exact same thing. It's a form of discovery that's tailored to the user, just like normal searches are (even on Google and Bing etc).

If the child hears the term "blackout" and searches for it on TikTok and reaches the same video, is that TikTok's speech - fault - as well? TikTok used an algorithm to sort search results, after all.

What is "recommended for you" if not a search result with no terms? From a practical point of view, unless you go the route of OnlyFans and disallow discovery on your own website, how do you allow any discovery if any form of algo

That can also be done today by way of the government (at least in the US): swatting. To be a bit cliched, there's a rather a lot of inattention and time that lets a child kill themselves after watching a video.

Nah, ISPs (and webhosts) are protected by Section 230 as well, and they're likely to drift into the lawyer's sights as well - intentionally or unintentionally.

YouTube and Facebook were also the original hosts of the Blackout trend videos and pictures, as I recall.

A robot (nor the software that runs it) has no inherent rights, as it's a non-sentient creation. That's why they can't go into a movie theater without the theater's explicit permission. Plus, the whole "companies ca

Widely pilloried by Mark Kern, and really only Mark. Every followup article points back to them, or the single reddit comment he uses as his source. Mark is not someone I'd trust to be even handed when it comes to people being sexist o

This feels like a more verbose version of "keep politics out of videogames", which ignores how videogames have always had political messages. Every call of duty game has been a commentary on the military industrial complex and war

People today are being told they need to save around $4m to retire (70% of income for 18 years). That's about $2k a month for 37 years (ideally with sub 3% inflation and 5-6% returns on your investments throughout). That's a lot o

See, that kind of defeats the purpose, as stated in the parent post, of "... every car has a first responder chart." And to my point specifically, the disconnect is the same mentioned in the owner's manual. At least they&#x27
