The point is that he wasn’t charged for sending an email
99_00··on Chinese-born chemist cleared of last conviction under US’s espionage probe
He was taking money from the department of energy for research while collaborating with Chinese universities and did not disclose this and lied to investigators about it.
99_00··on Study: Ultra-processed food consumption association with all cause mortality
“absolutely increase odds of death”

It doesn't say that.

It says "associated with higher all cause mortality".

99_00··on Study: Ultra-processed food consumption association with all cause mortality
Why is this meaningful in any way?

People who eat more ultra processed foods probably have other unhealthy Habits

I doubt someone who exercises, gets good sleep, eats mostly healthy would suffer from increasing their ultra processed food intake

Cars tend to move around
99_00··on Elon Musk sues Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and OpenAI [pdf]
I don't understand what point your example or analogy is illustrating. Can you state the point you are making?

No one is alleging OpenAI committed tax fraud.

99_00··on Elon Musk sues Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and OpenAI [pdf]
>That would let OpenAI lawyers keep this suit tied up for a very long time.

Why?

99_00··on Elon Musk sues Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and OpenAI [pdf]
Is the charter legally binding?

Is it unchangeable?

A single quote doesn't tell us much.

99_00··on Children need risk, fear, and excitement in play
>Children Need Risk, Fear, and Excitement in Play

I don't see research or data to back this up in the article.

It seems that the conclusion that "Children Need Risk, Fear, and Excitement in Play" is based on the authors personal interpretation of her research around play and development, rather than actual data and experimentation on risk, fear, excitement in play.

It would also be helpful to define 'need'.

Overall, the ideas in the article seems bypass the reader's critical thinking by appealing to "back in my day", and "kids these days" attitudes and feelings.

99_00··on Math as a habit
>The hard part isn’t getting by kids to do things they love, it’s getting them to do things they DON’T love.

Easy. Give her access to Roblox only after she does her math for the day.

99_00··on The perverse policies that fuel wildfires
>Meanwhile, climate change gets most of the press. Yes it is a contributing issue, but it's unfortunately being used to absolve the forest managers of accountability.

Forest management has become politicized. Massive blazes, homes destroyed, fire fighters dead are just props for political theater to push a political agenda.

There's already a product on the market that works in embroidery machines.

99_00··on Scholars now argue that early nomadic empires were the architects of modernity
>The Mongol Khanates were indiscriminate murderers

Their atrocities were brutal and ruthless, but not indiscriminate because they were designed to achieve certain goals.

99_00··on The Machiavellian Maze
>What isn't backed up by the source? The purpose of the mob?

Yes.

>Optically, if you're going to steal an election by changing which electors count, after putting your own electors in as replacements, then having a mob attack the capital demanding that you respond to some made-up conspiracy is a _lot_ better optics than just enacting the plan without any kind of justification.

You're justifying your speculation by saying it is plausible. That doesn't change that it's speculation.

It's fine for you to speculate. I was confused because you were mixing speculation with fact in the same sentence and providing a source.

99_00··on The Machiavellian Maze
>The mob's purpose in the the plan devised by Eastman and enacted by Trump [1] was to serve as a distraction / excuse for Mike Pence to launch a contingent election with fake electors who would certify Trump as the victor, thereby terminating our democracy and ending the American experiment.

Your source doesn't back up that statement.

99_00··on Canadian internet bill S-210 is a step closer to becoming law
>Isn’t this bill supposed to “protect children”?

Yes.

>Accessing porn isn’t illegal for adults.

Correct. Porn isn't illegal for adults now, nor will it be illegal if the bill becomes law.

>If the debate is about restricting access to a legal “vice”

It isn't.

>I agree imposing puritanical beliefs is the actual motivation

I don't agree.

You're blowing a single word out of proportion.

The sites would be more difficult to find than they are now. Making it more difficult means it will happen less often.
99_00··on Canadian internet bill S-210 is a step closer to becoming law
Accessing porn will be more difficult and require more effort. When things are more difficult and require more effort people do it less. Especially vices.

Let me make sure I understand what you're saying.

You expect that once this is law, that a single adult picture on the site and a complaint to the CRTC will result in a website being blocked or forced to implement age verification?

So if someone links to or sneaks in a naked picture in the comment section of a tech site that and makes a complaint, then that site face serious consequences?

>googles unsafe search mode

That's not a teensy bit of adult content.

99_00··on Canadian internet bill S-210 is a step closer to becoming law
When a kid can walk into a 18+ movie showing at a theater or buy a porn magazine from the corner store without proof of age you'll have an argument.

Until then you're advocating for the continuation of a a special exemption for online porn sites, which are worse than adult movies and magazines because they are known and habitual hosts of child sexual abuse materials, non-consensual porn, child and adult sex trafficking victims.

99_00··on Canadian internet bill S-210 is a step closer to becoming law
Your free to hold that opnion.
99_00··on Canadian internet bill S-210 is a step closer to becoming law
I guess your right, it is censorship.

And so are laws against tobacco advertising.

As are laws in Canada against hate speech, harrasment missgendering and Holocaust denial.

I guess censorship gets a bad wrap.

99_00··on Canadian internet bill S-210 is a step closer to becoming law
Explain how this is censorship.
99_00··on Canadian internet bill S-210 is a step closer to becoming law
>At best, this is regulatory capture for the current tech giants, at worst, basically ability to hand pick who gets to see what sites.

It hasn't happened with any other censorship bill Canada has passed.

This includes laws on pronoun use:

Canada’s gender identity rights Bill C-16 explained

>through a process that would start with a complaint and progress to a proceeding before a human rights tribunal. If the tribunal rules that harassment or discrimination took place, there would typically be an order for monetary and non-monetary remedies. A non-monetary remedy may include sensitivity training, issuing an apology, or even a publication ban, he says.

Let me make sure I understand your position.

Are you saying that if this bill becomes law, consumption of porn among minors will not decrease?

99_00··on Canadian internet bill S-210 is a step closer to becoming law
>It's the security and privacy issues that arise when we start sending this data in a recorded and logged form over the Internet.

That's for consumers and distributors to figure out. The lack of trust between consumers and distributors is no reason to continue allowing online porn to be exempt from long established and agreed upon controls.

99_00··on When the New York Times lost its way
Support for Israel is high in the US. 86% among white evangelicals.

https://religionnews.com/2022/05/26/poll-white-evangelical-s...

I can't comment on the level of support among jews as I can't find data.

99_00··on Canadian internet bill S-210 is a step closer to becoming law
What do you base that on?
99_00··on Canadian internet bill S-210 is a step closer to becoming law
>This being said, I have a belief that if you give someone a button to ruin someones life, some people will push the button with thoughtless abandon.

What's the button in case of this legislation?
