I would like to become a better use of Firefox by debugging issues I find locally. Any guidance on where to start?

> Isn't your impulse to damn now that there's a low-level face to the faceless evil the exact same impulse as the one people have to condemn a low-level drug runner for the rest of their life? First, there’s a disconnect here i

Generally, that problem is separate. The impact of little Eichmanns everywhere is greater than the loss of productivity from people convicted of crimes who can’t get a job later imo. Our society is very forgiving if you propagate “faceless”

To be frank, the issue is that our society is not more damning of people involved in the low-level actioning of great injustices.

Sounds a heck of a lot like the bots are killing off these websites. Gross overuse of automated scraping is a fact of life but individual choice is intolerable. What if I told you they were the same thing?

Educate me. I find them useful but they are less so when you try to do something novel. To me, it seems like fancy regurgitation with some novel pattern matching but not quite intuition/reasoning per se. At the base of LLM reasoning an

I am inclined to agree. If you’re at the precipice of automating or transforming knowledge work and the value for being the first is nearly infinite (due to “flywheel effects”), why would you dedicate any energy to studying the impact of AI

The only thing not covered by the concept (and law) of freedom of speech with regard to violence are direct, clear incitements to immediately commit violence. E.g. egging someone on to go lynch another person right now is not legal. Saying

Suppose you are right. From a genetic perspective, the most logical course of hypothetical action is to immediately start smashing computers, learning how to blow up terminators, and to oppose and undermine anyone that thinks like you. Now,

I think the answer is basically nothing besides largescale consumption. The interesting thing to see is whether China turns inward or projects power outward.

Actually, if you’re not buying movies and TV, the money comes out of producers pockets, not the tradespeople. They never get residuals. The case you point to is about box office flops, which, again, come far after tradespeople have cashed t

If it were ephemeral? Would that change this? Say recording the meeting locally a 5 minute frame then updating a meeting summary?

Interesting links, thanks for sharing them. I am not so convinced of these necessarily being state level aggression, but I think in these cases, they are perhaps more leaning that direction than anything else. If anything, the fires lit by

Well, it was probably left wing terrorism. Perhaps not ecoterrorism. At least that’s what the French government thinks. My thought process is this: what does disrupting the trains achieve for Russia? At best, nothing and, at worst, closer i

If the esteemed commenters of the FT are thinking similarly to this person, Russia. It’s unfounded. Maybe not impossible, but it seems FAR more likely that it was eco-terrorism or another similar grievance. I haven’t heard one parsimonious

I think VALVe’s structure makes solving this problem basically impossible. It’s flat and people pick what to work on. If you solve the current cheating for an old game, it’s fixed for a little while, probably months, until someone works a

Anecdotal, but I was close friends with someone who managed a niche (but popular) artist’s social media and streaming service presence. We discussed this fact and this person mentioned it could be $10k+ to be on some playlists 1st song spot

I feel like a tree provides much more protection for transit than a rope bridge. I wonder if they’ll avoid the bridge after a bunch are eaten by birds. They need cover.

I think clearly a major failing to not immediately announce to the public that a mass shooter is driving a replica police car. That’s beyond even the other details that didn’t clue the government off that he was up to no good (like withdraw

I think that Canada is absolutely undeserving of this record and there have been a few recent stories that illustrate governmental ineptitude or even malice. This is the one that springs to mind: https://www.bbc.com/news&#x2

Layman’s guess: if there’s no generalizable proof describing why this works and the only method of proof is enunerating every case. That said, I kinda doubt that that is the case here, we probably just need a craft way of describing this so
