The Supreme Court ruled already that there does not need to be a victim, or even any real people at all in its justification to permit refusal of service to lgbt people. So I’m unsure why even if there were no victims that would be releva

I mean there have already been people reported to police or having all accounts cancelled for the kind of images most families have of their children growing up. This entirely ignores what happens when you have states classifying telling a

Um, literally days after one drone flying idiot took out an actual fire fighting plane? "Cool" Are we going to require drone pilots to have insurance that covers all potential damage caused by their actions? if not this seems like

Again, DEI does not mean "hire less qualified people from group X", it mean "don't bias your hiring of less or equally competent candidates in favor of men". It is not "sexist/racist in the other direction

"Bay Area progressive politics" - you mean "don't bias your hiring in favor of male employees"? or do you mean "don't bias your hiring in favor of straight people?" Maybe we should just go back to the

So it’s wage theft then? Gotta love the “disruptive” tech industry. Such innovation.

The privacy problems were catastrophic - the Google CDN fed directly into Google’s pervasive tracking infrastructure. Most other CDNs similarly support tracking services. As the article says the actual cost of partitioning is negligible, th

Flying drones during wildfires is a violation of federal law for this exact reason, every one of these absolute cunts should be charged, they're posting the videos so can be traced. These fuckers should have all their assets seized, an

Filing a take down requires a sworn statement of good faith belief the claim is false, so this would appear to be perjury.

I think my favorite introduction to just how insane the pipelines, predictors, and other insanity in "modern" (more than a decade ago now) was trying to improve `Math.sqrt()` performance in JSC. This was during the first generatio

That's nice of them (esp given their track record of shittiness). It's always seemed absurd to me how companies refuse to just make old games that they no longer sell available for free, or just leave them available for cheap purc

You started this thread with "I don't agree to forced arbitration", and we're discussing that you clearly have done so, for something as trivial as commenting. The whole point is that it's not a matter of you not wa

I mean I’ve not had any problems with whatever the macOS built in one is, but document recognition is a a tiny part of the industry and isn’t involved in the hype bubble at all. The stuff with Python->traing->??->$$$ is what I don’

Yup. I think it’s more easy to consider when you think about what is in the bill. Like do you really want them invoicing the company that hit you with “reconstructing their wiener”, etc information.

This is not quite true - if your insurance policy does not cover the full amount you can be on the hook. Of course if you don’t have insurance you’re kind of screwed, or your insurance doesn’t cover the full recovery costs you have to pay t

The reason for this is very simple. Section 230 means you can't target a corporation that hosts content by other people, for content you dislike. For example: currently if someone doesn't want to see someone posting "objectio

Yeah they did this last year and before. It’s super annoying. I’d say it’s super stupid, but I’m sure from a marketing point of view it isn’t. I was going to say why not compare it to something older! 100000x faster than a pc-xt!
