The article says "Now that we have a synced clock", but surely the clock synchronisation would also be unable to resolve any asymmetry in the ping and the synchronisation would inevitably be impacted by this. (Or, does NTP have a

I would say this is quite a different situation: Police enforcement includes the police powers of arrest and detention. GDPR enforcement is (I believe) limited to a fine which can be appealed to a court. If the enforcement department turns

It creates an incentive (to identify entities breaking the law), but I don't see how this is perverse. It's the desired result.

I don't agree with Turkey's law in this case, but you're saying that we should impose our laws and values on all other countries, and also that online services should not have to abide by any laws, with the internet as essent

In both cases, the left-hand side looks upside-down but the right-hand side looks right-way-up, as if the writer has rotated the page to always write on the right-hand page. Seems likely they are right-handed, then (or, this comes from righ

I have a rule that I only collect data: - if it is immediately and directly useful to my primary goals (the goals come before the data), and, - if I'm confident in advance that the results will have some statistical power (so, A/B

Political campaigns remind everyone to vote (raise turnout) - including the people who are now indignant and will vote against you. It seems possible that Amazon may not have properly accounted for that.

The "Table of Contents" attempts to hold its original place on the page, even if its original place is below the fold. (My screen is not tall enough to access the table of contents at all) I find this an ironic bit of User Interfa

I would take "go fuck yourself" to be a clear request for personal disengagement and, if that is as far as it goes, is crass/profane but not abusive (in the sense intended here).

Given that talking sticks are an historic Native American concept (my search led to the relevant Wikipedia page), I read this comment to somewhat corroborate the article's claim that white supremacy is relevant to meeting rules.

That doesn't follow. I would still rather have voting citizens trying to discern the truth (and hope for some wisdom of the crowds), rather than have the agents of misinformation permanently in charge.

Why would you need liquid 185b? Why would you take 185b to the strip club? (I would even dispute your claim - I assume that strippers would absolutely not mind if you brought them 185b of paper assets). Even if it takes a lifetime to see th

Allowing every participant a set amount of time to speak during each motion, no matter whether they are engaged with the motion, is individualist. It's most often abused by individuals seeking to filibuster the later motions on the age

I don't believe there is any named virus where we have reached herd immunity without a vaccine. Herd immunity was defined by the theory that it would prevent the spread of measles. It only did so with any measurable effect after univer
