It sounds like you’re not actually interested, and would like to make a point instead.

Is this a serious question

Missing context, she had severe dyslexia, wasn’t diagnosed til her final year of high school. Honors student who was able to use text to speech and record lessons to study them relentlessly after school. She cared about her studies. This is more of an indictment of our social system as a whole - teachers are overworked to squeeze out performance for the 90%, and cases like hers are the ones that fall through the cracks.

Not sure what you’re talking about but it only hit 30M users a little over a month ago.

I don’t think I would ever buy an e-book. It makes no sense to me. If I want a copy for my personal collection I’ll keep it in hardcover. Otherwise I’ll just use Libby and check it out when it becomes available.

There are cases where I will toss an independent author a few dollars in exchange to read their book, but there’s no way I would ever pay Amazon or another publisher.

Title says Google vs US, but the case is actually US v Google, no one is suing the US.

It’s not a bundle of blood. It’s a frayed and distorted red cross. You can read her artist statement on her website.

1.) non sequitur

2.) missing the point

3.) pedantic

The point is that the current party in power has had multiple opportunities to reign in the current lawlessness and the current minority party has attempted to do so, to no result.

My battery wasn’t cut in half on iPhone, the duration improved

He’s constructing a straw man just to beat it down for entertainment, I’d rather have read a thoughtful analysis on AI and a genuine interpretation of the counter arguments.

Neither of your suggestions are accurate. The headline is accurate.

> I don't expect fairness, or equality under the law, from this administration.

Especially since he’s halted all new civil rights investigations by the doj:

You can only vouch if the story is flagged and dead

Karts look different from 8

“Why can’t China give each person in Guam $1 million to vote for independence and then ratify joining PRC, what’s stopping this”

Expansionism is bad. The suggestion to manipulate the population against their normal wishes by supplying them with helicopter money is depraved.

I like the part where the AI couldn’t be trusted to draw a clock, so we trusted it to psychoanalyze the incorrect clock

So many inaccuracies in that article, I don’t know why you bothered linking it. You could have just made the privacy/single point of failure/web monoculture argument and tossed the rest.

We do have high quality images of the drones, the problem is that when someone whips out their camera, it winds up being an aircraft.

I just saw a video posted to a drone mystery Facebook group where the “drone” had the word “United” emblazoned on the side…

I wish people would stop linking Noah Smith substacks. He makes a strawman out of the LendingClub survey and then beats it with surveys that do not contradict the original survey. In fact, a lot of his writings are strawman beatdowns.

Living paycheck to paycheck has low bearing on savings. The LendingClub survey is self reported, and includes people whose finances fluctuate seasonally (they overall live paycheck to paycheck but wind up with random windfalls) and people who maintain a small pile of cash but are always counting on the next paycheck to avoid dipping into their savings. The report even mentions that a chunk of the paycheck to paycheck people are superprime credit consumers, but Noah refuses to stop and think about why that is the case.

I personally know people who very well off who are riding the razor’s edge so to speak- they have huge savings but 100% of income does straight to bills.

I mean, it’s a scammy browser, so I don’t think there’s much news worthy here

Banned since ‘94 in the EU, also banned in Japan, China, and Australia

Those are the choices I’d make. I live in Texas and my friends are incorporated in Wyoming.

Same, was very sad to see a lot of my friends in the open source community constantly have to restrict replies every time they posted, just because of their identity or the project they contribute to. On Bluesky, those people are mostly absent, and when they show up to harass, they get banned or nuclear blocked.

How in the world is a mail carrier going to deliver mail in a huge esprinter, you going to have them open their door and climb out at every mailbox?

The problem is that every defendant against the power of the state must take lawsuits extremely seriously. Getting laughed out of court is not a given when it’s your court.

Is your thesis that since we live in a world of infinite possibilities, any device that makes harassment more efficient is not worth measured consideration for guard rails because there’s always a different and worse way to it?

Your analogy isn’t accurate because the child wasn’t exceptional, it only exists a vehicle for maintaining Google’s ad dominance.

It’s like raising an exceptional child who is a criminal and having people come out of the woodwork saying “he was so good, he didn’t do anything wrong”

Go build your vision, I think it’s clear though that the market demands this specific product.

Why the rewrite, bobbbu?
