I highly doubt so. Paid software like Photoshop has been used to generate fake pictures for ages and yet they are legal. It's how the generated pictures are used that matters.

You're wrong, I would still disagree. In fact, you're welcome to make some fake nudes of me, my pictures aren't too hard to find.

Both Friedman[0] and Reagan[1] were strongly opposed to tariffs and most forms of government intervention in the economy. Hard to imagine either of them supporting the current administration's policies. [0] https://www.youtu

People tend to book using the currency they're familiar with, not necessarily the local one, so remembering their preferred currency makes sense. As someone who travels a lot but likes to see flight prices in USD, this is really annoyi

What do you mean? Service is usually far better in Asia than in Western countries and there's no tipping.

But Google did pay Mozilla even when Firefox was bigger than Chrome.

by olalonde 1y ago
That's my point... The fewer people use Firefox, the less money they get from Google. If you follow the money, it doesn't make sense for them to neglect Firefox.

What do you mean? Doesn't most of Mozilla's revenue come from Firefox?

It was just a dig at XML's reputation for being unpleasant.

This seems a bit morally questionable...

What do you mean by that? It's the same kind of segregation that exists in San Francisco: expensive areas are out of reach to those without money. There aren't actual laws enforcing segregation. In fact, it's almost the oppos

Maybe in less touristy areas it's safer, but from what I've seen in many European cities, even what's in your pockets isn't safe.

This dynamic exists in many expensive locations around the world, but Dubai stands out for its remarkably low crime rate. Take San Francisco, for instance. More expensive to live and greater wealth inequality, yet riddled with crime.

Maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy, but these places feel designed for snobs, not normies.

Especially since "safety" in this context often just means making sure the model doesn't say things that might offend someone or create PR headaches.

What's incredibly pedantic is insisting that Bitcoin is based on "social consensus." That’s only true in the most superficial or tautological sense - like saying anything people agree to use is based on "social consensus

Anyone can do that, it doesn't require 51% of the hash power. And it's already been done hundreds, if not thousands, of times (the more technical term for them is "shitcoin").
