These people come out of the woodwork, when it comes to defending porn. It’s their whole identity. And unfortunately the tech scene is infested with these types.
You are the one claiming there's a problem, and you are the one (presumably) demanding legal and other action to deal with that "problem". That means that any burden of proof is 1000 percent on you.
... and before you haul out crap from BYU or whatever, be aware that some of us have actually read that work and know how poor it is.
Which is describing a very different situation: if ABC decided not to renew Kimmel’s contract, that’s their right as a business. Their listeners didn’t ask for this, the government made an illegal threat to force their business to stop allowing their listeners to have a choice.
Interesting, are you saying you would setup a Stop Hook in Claude Code that calls the Cursor CLI to have it validate and prompt Claude Code with further instructions?
To rebuild public trust in vaccines, we should require an annually updated git-style log that documents every ingredient in each vaccine, clearly showing what has changed year to year and allowing full transparency back to the very beginning. This should be accessible to the patient before accepting the vaccine. Additionally, combined vaccine cocktails should be discontinued, each vaccine ought to be offered individually so that people can make informed decisions about each one separately.
I'm not opposed to transparency or detailed diffs, but are individuals really able to make informed decisions about this? I work in the pharma industry and know plenty about drugs but I feel like I'd want an expert to make decisions and recommendations.
Informed consent is the cornerstone of modern medicine, and when its no longer given because information is withheld evil things happen.
I've worked in pharma too, and I'd rather have the final say regardless of what some expert may say. Experts today are often wrong more often than they are right in the things that matter because they have this blindness to them where they often favor looking at things in isolation instead of the full context seeking knowledge/truth. It is a rare person that bucks this trend, inquisitive objective methodical without pre-concieved notion, and I've met some of them but they are so incredibly rare (1 in 1M).
The Tuskegee trials were run by experts, would you rather have those specific experts decide what amounts to a short life and descent into madness for you just so they can collect data? They won't be telling you that they've infected you with syphilis.
When you seek medical help:
"Nothing is wrong with you, you just have bad blood."
The point is, there is a lot of history that is extremely unpleasant, in some cases unbelievable, but the fact that it happened is not in dispute, and that fact shaped why we do the things the way we do today and why its important to keep doing them a certain way.
Many states up to the 80s iirc publicly ran and had eugenics-style programs that sterilized the mentally ill and indigenous women surgically without their consent.
The certification for that was simply the say so of an expert, and anyone (as a victim) could easily meet those requirements with a false diagnosis from the same or another cooperative person.
There were many innocent people sterilized permanently, and there were many more that simply went missing.
If this has happened in the past, what makes you think this isn't happening under the cover of the more recently round ups of undesired individuals (for deportation).
Its important to have a firm understanding of the reality of these things.
You'd have to first properly define 'vaccine' objectively.
Opposition occurs because of negative outcomes, and adverse risks where existing establishment incentivizes deception.
Taking the opposite of your argument, is there any level of transparency possible where you would accept a vaccine for a disease that won't kill you, where taking that vaccine may sterilize you, or debilitate you. Is opposition the point? Opposition to what exactly?
That's what I did as well. I'm now using a Cryptomator vault within Dropbox. Ironically, Dropbox dropping their vault has made my vault more secure now than it was. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
pCloud. Store your files in Europe or US, store them under an encrypted folder, if you really like them, pay for lifetime storage space or crypto feature.
Ah, the classic side quest into a seemingly useless project - I can relate. Spending three years on a coat hanger sounds just like the kind of rabbit hole I'd fall into. It's usually more about the journey and scratching that itch than the end product. But turning it into a business? Now that's impressive. Most of my hyperfocus side quests end up as forgotten userscripts or abandoned github projects. Kudos to her for not only sticking with it but also turning it into something tangible and potentially profitable!
Ethernet at 50 and still not slowing down - a testament to the saying 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it.' It's remarkable how this old-school tech has remained relevant in an age of wireless everything. Makes me think of my tech stack, Java, monolith, sql db, etc. and it keeps serving all of my paying customers reliably, even though I'm not using the latest everything.
Ethernet has been redone from scratch several times. What has remained fairly constant is its frame and address layouts - an example of Kleinrock’s “narrow waist” pattern in protocol design.
It's honestly impressive how few qualms people have with the link layer, considering all the kerfuffle that gets raised for the address layer (IPv6) and the transport layer (QUIC) and the application layer (HTTP2/3). It's nice to have at least one protocol that feels "finished" (in a good sense).
I think the only part that hasn't been "fixed" is that it sends frames. 10Base-T is a new topology and cable with the bus virtualized in a hub. Switched Ethernet is like a different, intelligent network larping as Ethernet to naive stations. Signaling changes as you increase data rates and media now stretches from copper to fiber and the standard has retired baseband coax above 10Mbps. It's cool that they've made it work and kept it under the same "roof" of standards, so that we don't have to make so many vendor decisions or have regret building out one vendor's network and watching another one with different cabling or signaling take off with higher speeds and lower prices.
> I think the only part that hasn't been "fixed" is that it sends frames.
And this is just terminology: An Ethernet protocol data unit is a frame because it's Ethernet and an IP protocol data unit is a packet because it's IP. You could switch the terms around and nothing would actually change.
Finally, some justice in the Wild West of YouTube copyright claims. Scammers forced to cough up $3.3M is a drop in the ocean compared to the havoc they've wreaked, but it's a start. Let's hope this sets a precedent and not just a one-off feel-good headline. Next step: overhaul the entire copyright ID system so genuine creators don't have to jump through hoops to prove they own their own work. It should be way harder to file copyright claims and actually take down content from Youtube, the amount of power these "copyright holders" have is crazy.
Fix the whole US copyright and trademark system with laws. Minimum $10k fine for abuse of the DMCA. Treat it like the FCC already treats people who fraudulently broadcast other stations call signs, for instance. Get rid of these absurdly long copyright terms disney bribed the government for in the late 90s.
This kind of technical debt in lawmaking is a huge scourge on the USA. Even if you agree with the policy stances of the Republican Party having a completely dysfunctional and incapable legislature has a huge impact on our everyday lives. At this point no law can ever be made or fixed unless people stop voting for clowns.
