I don't use google for images anymore because of this. Bing is terrible, but it's better than google. Which means that google is worse than terrible.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. If China was so great the Children of the US rich would go there to study. Instead they either stay in the US, or go to Europe/the Anglosphere if they want to be more cosmopolitan. The revers

Mismatching color balance gives me a headache. Anecdotally it affects everyone most people just don't notice what it is that's bugging them.

Epstein more than likely tried to blackmail at least the British crown. You'd think that people wouldn't try and antagonize a family that owns their own torture tower and shows it off to tourists. Regular corruption is fine in the

Looks like you're looking for the: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_fallacy That is to say people assume that logical equivalence is the same as logical entailment.

An old ColorMunki projector calibrator connected by usb and attached to the screen with a zip tie. I have a python script that polls it when the screen goes to sleep or when I request a re-calibration using redshift. It used to be automatic

Go at a homeless camp in SF and look around for someone who hates Google because their old rent controlled unit got sold. No astroturf needed to find people who hate the rich in a society that punishes the poor.

The difference is that the worst that can happen to Zuck et al is having their company split up and paying more in taxes. Ma on the other hand could well end up getting Epsteined.

I don't need color for code. I need high resolution and to be able to stare at it for hours on end. Right now I get around this by having an ambient light sensors adjusting my monitors but it's buggy and error prone. I look forwar

I worked at a Telco that ran over 100k Linux VMs in one department. Not sure about unix certified os's, but mac os has a much smaller install base than linux.

No, they also pay the salaries of the ethicists at the universities.

Pointing out that the interests of the supposed gatekeepers of morality are misaligned with society is a lot more worth while than doing the same for a group of people whose only crime is having a wage 50% higher than the median in the US.

A rather simple improvement would be to have all the lights flash their binary encoded position for the calibration step. You go down from calibration time O(n) to O(ln(n)). Using red/blue would be better than using on off for this sin

It's quite lucky that it's not people who do most of the harm in society, it's corporations.

Yes, we already have those. They are called laws. Ethics as is currently practiced in tech is using the mob to remove whoever you don't like. To put it another way: the only person to lose their job over Epstein running a rape island w

The people dying from the virus are the old, sick and fat. Not a population that adds much to the economy. Depending on long term health effects if covid runs wild you can see as many benefits to average people at the end of it as you did a

There is no evidence for or against this, seeing as the mutation is at most ten weeks old.

You are using a welfare system available to under 20% of the population (in the best countries) to argue that the majority have access to a system that is well designed. This is moving the goalposts at best and outright intellectually disho

Yes, that was the point I was making. It seems that it flew over peoples heads. Being on the spectrum without learning how to work around neurotypicals is the issue, the same way that being 7 foot tall without the physical modifications nee

Rather you always had a back up generator that would let you shut down everything gracefully in the event of a power outage. An uncle that worked in that area in the 80s/90s had stories about people who still argued these new fangled j

The idea that it's a disability is as stupid as the idea that being 7 foot tall is a disability.
