What sort of indoctrination are children going to go through by reading that a character is "enormous", instead of reading that the same character is "enormously fat"? Did you even see the list of changes? You're pr

So the real issue is IP rights being extended to an estate after an author's death?

You also can't justify something by saying "it's been fine for decades".

You're showing a lot of recency bias. There's no "woke fad as we know it". There have always been people advocating for social issues, just because the latest wave is the one that's the most prominent in your mind d

This is not the government rewriting old texts and destroying the originals to promote the image of always having the same ethics. This is an estate trying to sell the books they have the rights for.

GP said "approaching empty", meaning it should be empty in the long term. It's not a slippery slope.

HN loves bringing up Orwell in contexts that are not comparable. This is bad, but not in an Orwellian way.

Unsure why you're calling this authoritarian when the government isn't even involved, and this is just a result of the estate chasing for more profits.

I haven't been this excited to jump in and post in a community in a while. There's just something so inviting in commenting on a thread knowing that your post will be there, in order, and won't be lost in the noise even if yo

Did you misread something in the parent comment? They were talking about pushing the idea of trans people as groomers, in general. Trans people existing doesn't mean they're performing any type of child abuse.

The commenter said "any upside *where* Disney...", which I took to mean "here's an example of an upside, where...".

I like how not paying actors is listed as an upside.

Influencer is a category of people that ad agencies are interested in. It's anyone with a large enough audience and influence over it. They are of interest to ad agencies because an endorsement will turn into more buyers. Anything othe

Her (2013) is one of the best sci-fi movies ever made. Not only is it heartfelt and the characters are relatable, but the sci-fi future it is set in is a very accurate representation of our near future. This movie predicted AI companions ju

I'm sorry but this comment is missing OP's point, and is instead just feeding into the stereotype of women being gold diggers. OP's comment was talking about the difference between guys who can afford a nice apartment vs guys

You could say the same about a person performing a piano piece. Anyone who presses the same keys in the same sequence would get more-or-less the same performance.

This is good, but I think it's cyclical (heh). We want to compare our signal with a "pure tone". What's a pure tone? A sine wave. Why is a sine wave a pure tone? Because when we compare it with a pure tone, it's ide

How is that comparable in any way?

Both theories are assuming that the parameters are tunable. Why would we assume that?

I've had this happen to me in the Android version, but I judged it to be a bug due to its inconsistent behavior.

Vocaloid has been a thing for almost 20 years now. People still sing. Digital art has been a thing for longer, people still paint. People do art because it's fun. Nothing will stop people from getting together in a band and jamming, be

They sell by manipulating people into buying. Seriously stop being naive. Coca Cola doesn't need to raise awareness of its product, it's in every fridge ever. The ads are not there to inform people that Coca Cola exists, they&#x27
