I kinda disagree with the first one. Plenty of places which do not support humans are beautiful. And I don’t like the implication that to be beautiful, you must be hostile with hidden kindness underneath. I don’t know if that’s how Antoine meant it, though.
Guess what? The guy who picks up boxes ask day for a job will do it better and faster than you. That fits perfectly with your definition of “skill”.
To be fair, programming is basically the art of making the computer do as much as possible with as little typing as possible.
Even if we do this, paternity tests are not guaranteed correct. This has the possibility to cause so much unneeded drama.
It’s not really even errors. It is well-suited for what it was designed. It produced pretty good text. It’s just that we’re using it for stuff it’s not suited for. Like digging a hole with a spoon, then complaining your hands hurt.
The government already knows all our ages, right? They issue our IDs after all. Have the government provide a “yes, this person is over 18” service. There are ways of providing signed files/tokens which don’t contain personal information.
If the government wants to write a law, then I think it’s reasonable they’re also responsible to help with a solution.
Fair, but nuanced rules are difficult to enforce, and somewhat open to interpretation. This leads to people trying to skirt the rules and also good faith posts which break the rules which leads to conflict also.
I think it’s better to keep things as simple as possible, as long as the rule is good enough.
This is why ‘American’ politics are banned, and not politics broadly, right?
I don’t see a problem with a bunch of European-specific questions being asked, so I question the need for an expanded rule.
If you broaden the rule, you run at risk of banning or discouraging desirable questions. Stuff about economics or lifestyle. Those are “political” too, after all.
What does this mean …?
It seems that the rule seems to work well enough here as is. In addition to the rule, how you enforce it is equally (if not more) important too.
If you want a simple explanation why he couldn’t spy:
Imagine that your internet traffic is a bunch of letters. HTTP are postcards. You can read the message and destination both. HTTPS are envelopes. You cannot read the message, but you can see the destination.
When using VPN, you stick every letter/postcard in another envelope, addressed to the VPN company’s address. They unpack the letter, set themselves as the return address, and send it on.
Your friend could previously look at the outside of your letters, and see who you’re sending to, and how much. Now, they can only see you’re sending to the VPN company, which isn’t helpful. (In theory, they can see the volume of data, but there isn’t much they can learn with just that).
Non-human, uncaring machines who amass and hoard wealth beyond human comprehension honestly doesn’t sound any different than what we have now.
What, do you think, would be the worst material from which to build a trebuchet and have it still function?
It’s not really “know as 過労死” in Japanese. That’s just the words for “excess”, “work”, and “death”. That’s kinda like saying “it’s known as ‘overworking to death’ in Britain”.
So do goats, but they’re plenty tasty.
That’s not making an argument for privacy, that’s being a jerk.
You’re missing the point.
China might use your data and hurt you in some far future, whereas the USA will use your data right now in a direct and violent way.
I can explain how the US government having access to the database of all of TikTok’s data might directly result in a visit from ICE. The path to damage caused by China may exist too, but is much more nebulous, and much more difficult for China to execute on.
Yes, if you are in a government position, or in the army, you probably shouldn’t use TikTok under China’s management. But Joe Schmoe from California has little to materially fear from them. But he does have reason to fear the USA government who might well come over and arrest him.
The quality of the search depends on which app you use and how it prioritizes search results, right? I know this is a bit of a tired argument, bit since CoMaps is open-source, you could submit a patch, or at least a bug report.
I’ve encountered the same behaviour on Google Maps on occasion, too.
Lots of scientific progress was made before the capitalist mode of production, so “laboring to produce capital” is anachronistic.
The core point you’re making is correct though. Only certain classes of people (rich people and monks) were freed up by the surplus of production of what is required to sustain life.
