'Submission only' was popular to watch for the first few contests, then competitors realized they could just stall until the end of the match and then get rewarded in overtime. The rules just became a different disincentive to not

If you were in a street fight with a professional fighter, and you used some of these techniques that 'would otherwise end a fight quickly', could you defeat them? Of course not. MMA is the fundamentals of one-on-one fighting, var

Great! Let's do judo next, seeing as the constant penalizing of almost every attack has made the sport semi-unwatchable. It's rare to see any scoring before overtime in international-level judo- why take the risk? Judo pretty desp

As someone who was into Crowley when I was 13-14 (and then read up on him again as an adult)- he was a genuinely interesting person, kind of a Renaissance man for his time, while of course also being an utter loon. For instance he was a gen

Maybe this isn't a substantive comment that really adds anything, but just wanted to echo a few other commenters- I don't find anything special about the TikTok algorithm, or TikTok in general. It's.... fine. I signed in via

There is little legal distinction between a 'publisher' and a 'host', which I understand is part of the pseudolegal gibberish that's part of the 'content moderation is censorship' belief system. If your ph

If your site is widely used and you make it technically impossible for you see or moderate content in any way whatsoever, your site will become a host for real illegal content- not just the borderline examples I gave. As the comment above

Right, and I left this out of my already-lengthy comment just so it wasn't a total wall of text. If you can easily host your 'censored' ideas on some other corner of the Internet- what exactly is the problem? Why are you enti

Agreed. That's not even getting into just pure spam, which from people like Alex Stamos I've heard is 100-1000x the issue that culture war content moderation is. Once you've accepted that a platform can remove the kind of spa

The issue is that we know from experience, after 20+ years of the modern Internet, that if you make a 'free speech' drive/repository place that's widely available, it will host the absolute worst of the human race. Then,

Just relative to the world that we live in now, I'm much less interested in traditional concepts of 'good and evil' and much more interested in fanaticism. While there are certainly genuinely evil human beings out there, in m

Do you know how much it would cost to have an actual employee, just to show the apartments and answer questions? You're paying them hourly or salary, plus payroll tax, unemployment, all of the other added expenses that a blue state thr

So I like removing myself from data brokers as a side hobby. In general they seem to be pretty quick to do so. However, OpenCorporates lists my name & home address, and absolutely refuses to remove it, as I'm self-employed and I ha

Is it legal for a startup employee to purchase shares with their Roth? I understand that an officer in the company probably cannot, but if you're just an employee- does anyone know if that's permitted? I skimmed about half the com

I guess in theory. You'd need a bunch of states to cooperate together (so both red & blue), plus Congress has to bless it. Contrary to what the popular vote people seem to believe, the Compact Clause (Article I, Section 10, Clause

Sorry, I left a key part out- the issue is combining ranked choice voting AND a multiple party system. If you only had 2-3 parties, I agree with you. However I think what the RCV people are hoping for is a multiparty system, yes? So once yo

I'm a bit skeptical of ranked choice voting- one of the key issues for the US that rarely gets discussed is that we can't use it to elect our President, due to the 12th Amendment, unless you're OK with the states selecting hi

Respectfully, I just can't understand what the exact argument is here. Are you and others saying that- because Facebook is huge & used by many Americans, it can't have rules of behavior on the site? 'Facebook is very popu

As someone who's interfaced with the data brokers professionally, I can tell you that the ultimate starting point for their dataset is usually a state voter registration database. A lot of states pretty openly sell their data, like fro

I think one reason why this is difficult for companies that are hiring software engineers, is that they can hire at multiple levels of experience. They just need good developers! A company that needs, say, a Golang developer, or Scala, or R
