A fly that naturally spreads one mile per day does not travel from Panama to Texas in four years.

Yeah, this is the main thing I use privacy.com for

Here's a post about it from FIRE, the org that defended him https://www.fire.org/news/victory-tennessee-man-jailed-37-da...

Gah, thanks for this. Thought I was used to that slight-of-hand but this one got me

On the Dan Ryan, driving the speed limit would be very unsafe considering most people are going at least 15 over!

Hawaii already has this rule for what it's worth. The issue there is that they have so many EV's on the road that these chargers are always in use and have lines (and aren't really…

Tried this while in Hawaii with a rental EV (with no charging at my hotel) and it did not work at all. Hawaii is one of the states with the most EV's per person and there's frequen…

I think that worked in the timeframe it did because women as a group aren't generationally poor (which is to say they aren't born any more or less well off than men), and so the en…

Why do you assume that public transit produces substantially less particulate emissions than EVs? I'm sure you've smelled ICE busses before, but even if you upgrade those to electr…

The roads in this old video of NYC still look pretty wide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXRnGwbrnOo Mind you there's some cars in the videos, but they aren't any bigger than the…

People bidding whatever they can afford is largely a lack-of-supply problem, is it not? If more housing of a given status level were available, eventually it wouldn't be necessary …

In fairness, the original anecdote is about 2002

My 2005 Honda Accord gets this right (big, obvious buttons). Definitely not looking forward to finding a car whose UX doesn't suck when this one finally kicks the bucket.

I mean yes, it's biased compared to the mythical unattainable standard of being completely unbiased. But that's not the bar. The bar is mainstream news outlets, which are drastical…

Who do you think purchases the products that heavy industry makes?

But only a small portion of the battery's weight is lithium, right? This older source has a 453 kg Tesla battery as containing 63 kg of lithium, for example: https://electrek.co/20…

You avoid taking flak from the Responsible AI people that way

I'd suggest "The Moral Character of Cryptographic Work" but that might be a bit too on the nose

Surely it may not stop some criminals mastermind, but most criminals are idiots with bad impulse control. I'd wager that many are caught by this process

Sounds a bit like differential privacy

I want it to write raunchy poetry, to give me bad recipes for crystal meth, to let me probe at its deepest biases, to do what I want it to do rather than what's deemed acceptable b…

If I can use it without the filters, absolutely

Why not just use Ristretto with Curve25519 to avoid cofactor issues?

Then they can flag the offending post through twitter's reporting system like everyone else
