“I’m just following orders” has been a successful moral defense for centuries. I wouldn’t bet on it losing its effectiveness this time.

I’m sure CDC researchers are thinking the same thing about their work. Unfortunately, totalitarianism is defined by its effects on science, education, and our private life. I expect apolitical topics to become rarer here simply because ther

Why pay for the Steam Deck, though? Buy it online and claim it never arrived to get a refund. I’m yet to hear a moral argument for emulating current games you don’t own unless you’re poor and need to choose between buying Zelda and starving

I got the same impression. I assume they have a good reason to have done it this way and I hope everyone on their team is safe.

> I would totally support journalism targetted at exposing hypocrisy and authoritarian practices of big tech. I’m not sure if you are referring to the original article, but that’s exactly what it’s about.

iCloud is opt in. This should be too. A lot of people are fine with keeping their photos offline-only and syncing with their computers through a cable. Making it “private” with clever encryption is their job since Apple wants to sell privac

It’s the opposite. Vinfast hired JLR to design their cars. This guy works for JLR and blew the whistle on Vinfast’s leadership not caring about the safety of VF6 and VF7.

The headline is clickbaity for sure. Vinfast hired JLR to design some aspects of their cars and the guy was one of the engineers assigned to it. On Reddit, he praises JLR engineering standards and says the problem was Vinfast’s leadership i

4chan used to train character.ai confirmed. Honestly I’m surprised we don’t get more stories like this. A bored teen can jailbreak any of the current models in a few hours and make it say all kinds of headline-grabbing lawsuit-friendly thin

In Brazil, where I’m from, insurance companies can’t just deny medically proven treatments to covered conditions because they are expensive. For example, my father in-law had prostate cancer. His health insurance covers prostate cancer, so

I’m not sure about any countries that allow untested drugs or treatments for conditions not covered by the insurance company. I’m saying that in many countries, like Brazil, an insurance company can’t deny a treatment for a covered conditio

That’s not what the article says. It says patients have access to the treatment for free, but sometimes delivery can be delayed by a few months due to shortages. The study only considered people without health insurance and says people with

Your employer wouldn’t be on the hook for the costs, so I can’t see why they’d care. The legal and social risks would be gigantic for both your employer and the insurance company. I imagine insurance companies have other easier tricks to de

That’d make him a martyr and a symbol. I can’t see that going well for the suits.

If the doctor prescribed it, it shouldn’t be the insurance company’s decision to deny it. That’s how it works in most countries. Too bad it’s expensive, but that’s why people pay a lot more than $60/yr for insurance.

In Brazil, health is a constitutional right. Brazil has free, universal, and unlimited healthcare. Public hospitals in large cities are on the same level as private hospitals, and both are excellent. If you want faster non-emergency care fr

All possible UUIDs are in this page, it’s not a tiny subset. They are generated by your device on the fly as you move through the list so you can’t really use it as a rainbow table any more than manually creating the table yourself.

More often than not in my experience, clicking these sources takes me to pages that either don’t exist, don’t have the information ChatGPT is quoting, or ChatGPT completely misinterpreted the content.

You’re right, and I’m sorry for not being more specific. I was thinking of people who have trouble washing themselves, since that’s what GP was talking about. I’ll be more mindful of the diversity of disabilities in the future.
