I dunno about "most places". I definitely had to get a boating license, though for some reason the law had an exception for people born before 1978. A cursory search show most stat…

Facebook used to post sites you visited. Not even interacted with by liking, it would show that you have read a certain article. They still collect that information, but they no lo…

That precedent was and still is legally used to federally regulate marijuana harsher than fentanyl, a precedent I strongly disagree with, so you'll have to forgive me for believing…

On a level playing field where both are equally subsidized, solar and wind would still outcompete coal. Their point seems to be applicable to the degree to which harmful power gene…

I promise you the fancy technology is in the electronics, software, and implementation, and not the fact that the cylinder with legs looks like another cylinder with legs

Using ableist language on Hacker News, however, is alright? I dislike Elon too, but this comment feels a little out of place and date, especially for the point it's trying to make

Funny, when someone was falsifying documents about me and forging my signature, attempts to raise awareness to my issue were also downplayed as "airing dirty laundry". Is it a new …

Pretty sure surge protectors are less effective against dips than they are spikes

Sounds like you're just a low-engagement user tbh

Pretty interesting how being anti-prison rape is considered an ideological argument. But hats off to the real winners of this situation: the bisexual rapists who get to rape no mat…

Jesus, sounds like it's just the UK prisons trying to project their awful "justice" system on their own victims. I give the American justice system a lot of shit based on my person…

Cis women who rape women and cis men who rape men have always gone to prisons aligned with their gender identity. The issue with the normalization of rape in prison is unrelated, a…

In some countries you have legal rights to information collected about you. This can include information collected by social media sites. Just because Facebook has a forced arbitra…

Even the biological impulse to argue online is appearing in language models, just check Reddit

I've used multiples images of Christ to play with AI image models. Remaking the old "Jesus on toast" image was fun. Facebook is full of boomers sharing the Jesus face AI generated …

I haven't ever made a typo, all of my mispelings are intended and therefore not mistakes

I'm guessing the bottleneck lies in surface area to effectively collect samples rather than the effort to inspect samples and processing them to determine origin. The roof is going…
