This sounds like a recipe to put paying customer's safety at risk, and reduce the number of people willing to stay in LA hotels.

I don't understand your comment. The claim, to which I responded, said _nothing_ about _active plans_. The claim was simply that it was the first US civilian ever killed by the military.

> This was the first time in history that a US citizen was killed by the US military. That seems incredibly unlikely. Friendly fire incidents have been a fact of war, pretty much forever.

I appreciate their stated commitment to avoid censorship in general, but would prefer an explicit dismissal of ideological filtering. By the way, their pricing page is currently offering premium service for $10/mo.

This gives a different reason why "They're a private company, they can implement any policies they want", is a horrible argument. Even for the cases where you happen to agree with the outcome. We need to regulate these larg

I don't think humans are particularly special, and I don't believe in human rights. At least in the sense that there is some fundamental guarantee to liberty, property, or whatever. Nature is cruel, and if given half a chance, wi

Going bald was a blessing in disguise for me; shaved all my hair off and have never looked back. Not having to fuss with hair is a time saver and stress reducer. Great news for those who want it, but i'm never going to go unshaved ag

How exactly can a company price-gouge in a free market? First, nobody is compelled to buy anything from them. Second, anyone else is allowed to become a supplier, and easily make a fortune by offering a cheaper price. And the only thing t

There is so much of this, through many fields of science today. Incentives that corrupt and undermine the scientific method. And yet, many people will deny that there is justification in skepticism of say, relatively new mRNA vaccines. Ye

Who said anything about him being forced to do such a thing? People make bad decisions all the time, including Musk. But given human nature and frailty, people under a great deal of pressure and opposition like musk is, are likely to make

To pretend he doesn't have powerful enemies is just silly. It's not some kooky conspiracy theory. The only question is if you think his enemies are justified or not.

I don't know about a villain, but he definitely isn't a saviour. Was hoping he'd follow through in reforming Twitter. But it turns out, even with all his resources, he's actually pretty weak in comparison to the forces

There is a prevailing contempt these days for less intelligent and less educated people, that is very unseemly and disheartening.

What has always been a blocker for me to follow your example, is the desire to use many such scripts from the command lines provided inside an $editor or $email client. There probably is a way to configure both of them to see the aliases,

I have a problem with a compromised immune system that lets the population of these mites get out of hand. It results in red, patchy skin on my face. This was an embarrassing problem for years before finding out the root cause. Now a few

Switched to Brave when DDG revealed its focus on politics. It has been a very pleasant transition, and I haven't missed the !g bang as much as anticipated. Turns out falling back to Google isn't needed nearly as often with Brave

Thank you. That's easy enough to understand, even for me ;-) The only piece that might use a bit more illumination, is what kind of people are likely to use Keyoxide to check on your proof of ownership once you've set it up, and

Hi there, I took a look at your site home page and docs, and still can't figure out what it is, or why someone would want to use it. Do you have a link to a 10,000 foot overview / simple use-case explanation, for a short-bus pers

DDG is starting to get bad press a fair bit these days. There was also a sizeable backlash against their weird Ukraine-war virtue signalling. Seems they're not as single-mindedly focused on privacy for search users, as their initial

Can we please, please, stop that? If we go Metric, will you please standardize on period as decimal point? Shake on it. Let's make it happen.

They're more progressive about admitting it and having metrics for it. But it goes on to varying degrees everywhere, with doctors leaving patients in charge of their own unregulated morphine drip, etc. And everyone turns a blind eye,

These are the types of ideas that the new DHS department of misinformation will be able to suppress. Stopping the spread of ill-conceived economic ideas by non-experts will help to keep society safe and stable.
