Yeah, right. That's why the rich were the first to have the city install Flock cameras on their lawns and driveways, right?

Calling the current regime "democratic rule" feels like a stretch. Wouldn't democratic rule first require that the ruler respects other democratic institutions such as the press, the courts, and the Constitution?

People don't pick up pitchforks because they don't understand something; people pick up pitchforks because they're told to pick them up. The issue is bad-faith reporting like what happened with Mamdani and the NYC enclave map

Profiling visitor traffic to protect against abuse is a legitimate use case, even for GDPR. It's only a violation if that usage is not disclosed in the ToS.

I don't think that's true. Mathematics can model every conceivable universe; you cannot derive the values of c or G in our universe from a purely mathematical model. Even if there were a proof that the current values for cosmologi

I don't share your antipathy against libvirt, but I do the same. To configure a qemu vm via libvirt you need to learn two concepts: the qemu internals, and how they're mapped to libvirt properties. And since the qemu internals are

Do you mean that you don't run sketchy extensions and therefore this doesn't affect you, or that you're ok with data loss due to extension failures?

The golden mean is only a useful lens if all sides are equally prepared to take up extremist positions. If some people are taking up considerate or even reasonable positions but others take up the absolute, the golden mean will always skew

How are you going to look up a jingle in the manual? Should they be sorted by pitch or by tempo?

That's why the punishment should also have a sufficient deterrent effect. If the punishment can't sufficiently deter the behaviour, it should at least deter the capital enabling that behaviour at scale. In other words: void the st

I'm more likely to laugh at the implication that Hustler somehow qualifies as a book.

I'm pretty certain all languages do that. It's fairly common to bastardize/assimilate the names of important cities and/or trade hubs into the local language, but leave smaller names unchanged. That's why it's

That exemption had an expiration date for a reason. That they failed to consolidate that practice into a better law does not make forcefully overriding that expiration any more democratic.

I don't think it's as obvious as you make it out to be. For one, what we consider evidence of "thinking" is autonomous action by a being as a whole. For as far as I know, there is no evidence that a plant's movement

I don't think that "infer operator" is a special case of field access, to me it feels like regular known-type elision similar to how C# and C++ use the var keyword if the data type can be inferred from the rhs expression:
