Assuming this is an advanced civilisation, this seems highly unlikely. Our capabilities can be well enough assessed from the comfortable safety of billions of kilometres away simpl…

Why should a peaceful demonstration of technical superiority terrify anyone? It's clear whomever, or whatever, possesses this superior technology could fly circles around and/or ob…

Sure, but then the fact that specific, detailed postulates made in her paper have turned out to be independently confirmed empirically kind of renders that "analysis" moot.

Not the OP, but since publication, serious concerns detailed in this paper by the MIT researcher (who played a major role in early determination of the risks of glyphosate), have s…

In several places it's been restricted from being used in certain age groups - due to safety - after being previously recommended for those age groups. I believe in at least one or…

Do not accuse me of defending this/these persons actions. I am not "defending", and did not, "defend" the actions of this person or persons. It's a completely abhorrent and utterly…

Almost three straight weeks of multiple livestreamers documenting every aspect of the protest non-stop for hours unedited all day and all night, of thousands of highly-skilled reso…

"A mob of thugs"? Really? Type ottawa livestream into youtube, filter by Live and watch. You won't see "a mob of thugs" or even the remotest resemblance, even if you watch for hour…

Your original comment relayed anecdotal evidence. Are you now saying it doesn't prove anything? Violence does occur in cities, and it will continue to. I've seen no evidence protes…

I kind of agree with some of this - but not the conclusion you seem to have drawn. The most nefarious weapon invented previously has been around for 75+ years and was developed as …

I believe you're shooting the messenger. Tyrannical, greedy, and well-resourced psychopaths have been using technology to lead us into an Orwellian hell-hole. Without them, all of …

From a developers perspective the size of a tweet is typically greater than the character count of its text: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/data-dicti...

If we won't see it coming, and as many commenters have pointed out, it will indeed comprise personally-identifiable information - despite the (absurd?) claims - how does this all f…

Some of us are already living an authoritarian nightmare. One that we weren't living two years ago, regardless of politics. It's not up for debate, it's up for acknowledgement.

As I understand it, battery performance can be somewhat configurable on these, eg by adjusting BIOS settings for thermal controls to keep the CPU throttled. If you don't mind the l…

Doesn't basing your conclusion on the two countries that support it, out of a pool of ~200 that exist, seem a bit tentative? It's at about the same level as the counter argument re…

No, I didn't. I said: > Here is a summary of over 400 studies demonstrating lockdowns are ineffective or harmful: You're welcome to present studies demonstrating the opposite, but …

Sweden is 62nd on a list of 180 countries on deaths per capita. We can argue back and forth like this but why bother? If you don't care what the studies say, your mind is made up, …

Won't even examine 400 counter-claims? That's "denialism". Lockdowns working/not-working and/or causing collateral damage potentially eliminating other gains is not even remotely o…

COVID what-ists? You mean all manner of people who have all manner of opinions and reasons for them that just so happen to differ from the views presented as scientific consensus b…

...of lockdowns?

Even if this were true, it's irrelevant. If a government initiates action that sparks a backlash, the government is responsible. If the government didn't also anticipate that backl…

Yes. If the way they treat a new customer is to arrest control of my browsing experience and prevent me from leaving their site, I have zero trust in them. And trust is everything.…

So, the quine-stion we're all asking now - is there a valid image, that also happens to be a valid executable, that when run, outputs the image? And/or what about an interpret or c…

In my case, the back button didn't go back past the root page of the site. It trapped me where I did not want to be. I didn't know about holding the back button down, and I appreci…
