Source? The vast majority of people do not use that definition. Ask the average person for a list of races and they will easily answer with something like: African, Asian, European, etc. And by your definition, many humans don't even h

Define race. You seem to be using a definition of race that the vast majority of people don't use.

Race however is a social construct and that's where your tidy conclusion falls apart.

It's trivial to find an African person with more genetic similarity to an Irish person than he has in common with a different African person. Genetic diversity in Africa is massive. Think of the various Pygmy people as just one example

The problem is trying to attribute that to race. Almost all the best runners in the world come from one Kenyan tribe. Meaning there are a LOT of Africans who are average or below average at running. Race is far far too broad to attribute to

"Keep reading and writing bugs " sounds a little off. Maybe change that to "writing bug reports"?

> given the pro-privacy stance of crypto Maybe I'm missing something, but what pro-privacy stance? Crypto is far easier to trace than cash. And US companies like Kraken follow KYC laws.

You are using a poor heuristic that favors young people. That is age discrimination. It's illegal in many countries, and unethical in all. You should try to throw out the heuristic and find a better way to determine interest. For what

Like I said from the very beginning, you can only provide links that are highly edited and leave out the context. At the end of the day only the naive and gullible will trust those videos. Your choice of course.

That's a really long way of saying you don't have the "literal hours of continuous footage" that was claimed.

Several Republican friends are dead now due to Covid because they believed the anti-truth ideas being spread by GOP media about the vaccines. Darwin awards are indeed one of the ultimate fact checkers.

And hate speech can be harmful. But hate speech is free speech. Is unlabeled parody free speech?

"Free speech absolutist" didn't last very long did it?

You went from saying the security risks are gaslighting to saying you need to make usability and risk compromises.

No such video exists. Got it now. All that you've got is a quotes taken out of context that distort the original meaning. Ignorable.

That's a pretty bold claim that I'd have to see evidence to believe. I do get your point though: it's quite probable that some users are very interested in the feature even if some or many average users ignore it.

That was also my experience staying with a Swiss friend in both her city home and mountain home. Drinking tap water at home and then ordering bottled water at the restaurant literally next door to the house. I'll have to ask her about

Yes, of course. That was my point. That the heuristic of "developed country" is not effective just because it's sometimes right. Also take a look at the number of contaminants in the water for each those cities in your source

I wouldn't trust the water in any industrialized country unless I could see the reports. Especially city tap water. Mountain resort or any rural area without industrial farming is probably a safe bet. Germany possibly gets it right.
