Ya this is exactly the kind of bike shedding I get wrapped up in sometimes. Lately I have been creating custom shelving and storage in my office for a clean look and better optimization for lighting, camera, and sound. I realize I could be

But a derivative work requires that major copyrightable elements remain. So it seems like there is a fuzzy line on whether something is really derivative or not. I don't think it is necessarily enough to have simply started with a copy

It should also be noted that the NY Post was one of several media outlets the hard drive data was pitched to by Giuliani. They were offered printouts of select data and no access to a clone of the hard drive in question or the laptop itself

I don't think the Hunter Biden laptop issue was so egregious. I believe it was only suppressed for maybe 48 hrs or less on the major platforms. Enough time to get somewhat of a handle on something that very much looked like it could be

I'm sure they are referring to the fact that while NYT and CNN are certainly left of Fox News, they are not really leftist according to the actual definition of the word. With Joe Biden being right of center and Bernie Sanders only sli

I don't think that is necessarily the case. Good fact checks include links to primary sources like legal documents and in-context video. Quite a bit of the nonsense over the last few years has been easily debunked by looking at the pri

On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being completely factual, Truth social is a Trump fever dream in lala land on an acid trip. Like freeform jazz that lightly riffs on the different sounds in the environment but otherwise is completely made up.

Any fact check done right includes links to primary sources. Or at least links to multiple reputable sources. If you do that, you can be forgiven the occasional wrong fact check. And interesting phenomenon is that basically all fact checks

I can't imagine there is. Many on the right will literally accuse Fox News, Newsmax, and OAN of policial bias if a single story doesn't lean the way they feel it should.

Not the whole of the American right, but certainly Trump's core support and then some. They are very anti-all of those things and vocally so.

I didn't say break-in, just "security issue". And I would be interested in how responsive their phishing address would be to a case like this simply because the email is actually from paypal, as was said before, it's jus

Just to add my experience of getting paxlovid. I tested positive for covid about 6 months ago and having a few children and lots of work to do, I wanted to get a jump on treating it. I know too many people that lingered with flu like sympto

They do have a security issue, because people are sending the invoices from "PayPal Inc.". They have some basic filters in place to disallow you from entering PayPal Inc. exactly, but scammers get around it by using similar lookin

Do all major tech companies really register that many domains? I assumed that becoming a registrar was more about pushing your control up the pipeline to reduce risk if things like losing your domain name was the main reason. Rather than sa

That's a great idea. A neutral 3rd party re-writing headlines. I think that bad headlines are one of the biggest problems in journalism today. I have seen articles posted on social media by people who obviously only read the headline.

Exactly. Purchasing scam items, testing them and then reporting them is a public service.

Hard disagree. Both the seller and Amazon have a responsibility here. As a buyer, all I can do is go by the description and advertised price. If you made a mistake, you can ask for it back on your own dime or not ship it at all and give a f

We place them on a moral pedestal in the same way we placed "essential workers" during the pandemic. That is to say, with words and sentiment only, but in reality, disposable.

I have found that statement to be very true. But not in the sense that you shouldn't listen to customers. Just that you can't necessarily rely on customers to figure out the next big thing. Once you put that thing in front of them

Plus, all VC investors have every incentive to juice the valuation after they have bought in. They don't have short sellers seeking out reasons to tank it like the public markets do.

Yes, correct. I didn't realize you were the main OP. I very much appreciate the upfront pricing and have almost never given a "call for pricing" company a second thought.

Yes, sub-saharan diversity is even more diverse. But diversity among African Americans is still much higher than that of the white population. In fact, most African Americans descended from enslaved have 20-40% European/white DNA (and

Comparing modern African immigrants to modern day Black Americans descended from enslaved people is not going to get you a clean comparison by any means. Modern African immigrants are one the most highly educated groups of people in the US.

There is really no basis for any sort of theory that says underperformance of Black Americans is purely due to genetics. Primarily because genetic diversity among Black people is too broad. In other words, if you randomly compare the geneti

Starting wage for a global company is really a useless metric. $14/hr is a liveable wage if you live deep in the middle of rural America (where there are actually lots of walmarts). You can rent a decent, small home there for $600&#x2F

Considering lithium batteries have been known to combust in an impressive firestorm, it definitely seems worth trying to rule out. But the fruit being involved does seem implausible.

Apple hasn't had big layoffs yet. My guess is that this is a PR move preceding a layoff announcement soon to come.
