We can call all these inaccurate methods The Injustice System. Next episode: The Dishonorable AI Judge.

"The 520 was a loss leader but it had really good penetration." That's how my ex describes me as well.

She might have had a little bit less invested, but good work on avoiding sunk costs all the same.

It's not about stopping crime, it's about control.

Sure but that’s not how they’re selling it.

How about we not form our society into a jail?

This is a hilarious take

The latest Miasma/Shai-Hulud worm will not run if your development system has KOI8-R (Russian) as the primary language.

> Kill switch, as always with APT28 malware, is setting the host language to ru_RU.KOI8-R (LANG environment variable). That disables the spread mechanism.

Note: KOI8-U is Ukrainian and would still trigger the worm/trojan/malware.

So? If I were a US based malware dev that’s what I’d do to avoid detection…

Clickbaiters abused the concept of a hook until the hook itself was seen as clickbaity.

Damn near a whole generation estranged from basic literary convention due to its horrendous abuse.

When did the electrician's house burn down?

Well yeah, Facebook has been a data harvesting scheme from the beginning. It was originally called LifeLog. It is not part of the “free” web.

Indeed, well before Clearview, Facebook demonstrated they can identify faces and asked people to tag people in it, creating one of the earlier massive facial ID databases.

I think its going to be tough for society to reconcile with the fact that we are not so unique as we thought. Maybe it never will. Some animals are self-aware. Plants and fungus can communicate with each other via underground networks. Some of them move, react to stimuli, communicate with others in their species, and are able to differentiate between their offspring and other neighbors of the same species. Is it really any different to be a vegan or a carnivore?

Boiled lobsters actually do feel pain. Some dogs have a somewhat complex understanding of human emotion and language. We had all these hopeful assumptions that we told each other in order to make us feel better about the fact that you must consume living things to be a living thing, and it seems like those are all slowly being proven wrong.

Who is anyone to decide that some life forms are “lower”? I don’t see it as a big leap.
