comrh··on Trump wins presidency for second time
In Utah I checked via state website on Election day
comrh··on Guide to applying to YC – from a founder who was accepted on the third try
I feel like that is a great example of hype. Some that looks impressive but once you watch for a bit you realize it's a shallow copy that required a million hours of footage to generate.
comrh··on The political left and right is a figment of your imagination
It's a shorthand and like all shorthands it limits nuance but that doesn't make it completely meaningless.
comrh··on US lawyer who put Big Tobacco on trial takes aim at sports betting
The "better education" part is directly funded from tobacco lawsuits.
comrh··on FBI director admits they rarely have probable cause for using NSA collections
The way the Court current works its just settled until the next turn over in court make up.
comrh··on Private equity is devouring the U.S. economy
Of course "some people wanted the laws that were enacted", that's basically meaningless and not what OP said.
comrh··on Private equity is devouring the U.S. economy
> If it's legal -- it's fair and just.

A quick look at history shows this to be false (Jim Crow laws, Nuremberg Laws, a million other examples). People should never derive their morality from bureaucrats.

comrh··on YouTube blocks Russell Brand from making money through its platform
"betray" in this context meaning advertise to LGBT people?
comrh··on NASA officials sound alarm over future of the Deep Space Network
INAL but I don't think they can strike https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Service_Labor-Manageme...
comrh··on A testimony of “guilt-by-association” harassment in astronomy
That a decision everyone is free to make for themselves. If you want to forgive him feel free but that has no bearing on how others might feel.

Society hasn't exiled him into the woods, people are just rightfully exercising their right not to be associated with him.

comrh··on Developers are building communities that act as their own miniature power grids
North Carolina in case anyone else is curious
comrh··on An Indiana police department has been using Clearview AI for a year
> As discussed throughout, the above results provide no evidence that greater police budgets lead to increases in homicide clearance rates (or equivalently, lower police budgets decrease homicide clearance rates).

comrh··on Submarine expert tried to dissuade OceanGate CEO, from taking customers in Titan
Humans are terrible at judging risk though. I don't think I could accurately judge the risk of driving to the grocery store, let alone a trip to the Titanic.
comrh··on Titanic tourist submersible goes missing with search under way
I was curious too.

> Contacted by CBS News, the Canadian Coast Guard said the rescue operation was being managed by the Boston Regional Coordination Center, and a map showing jurisdictions for the various coastal search and rescue agencies off the North American coast shows the location of the Titanic wreck within the Boston center's area of responsibility.

comrh··on Royal Mail issues Warhammer stamps celebrating 40 year anniversary
Games Workshop is famously extremely litigious
comrh··on Royal Mail issues Warhammer stamps celebrating 40 year anniversary
Warhammer is so much fun but the pieces are just so ridiculously expensive. Especially Warhammer Fantasy which has races that can require a hundred individual units to field a 2000 point army.
comrh··on Kissinger's killing fields
Many articles are not in support of the current war in Ukraine. A lot of ink has been spilled on what Russia is doing is wrong and should immediately end their war.
comrh··on Researchers treat depression by reversing brain signals traveling the wrong way
Which makes sense why CBT style therapy has shown effectiveness because its main focus is challenging those interpretations. No doubt even with those tools it is still a major challenge.
comrh··on This Word Does Not Exist
James Joyce would have loved this.
comrh··on Some employers have decided to build their own housing for workers
The military isn't at will employment though, it is different when a company can fire you tomorrow.

It's also how they can protect it from being used in ways they disagree with.
comrh··on Arkansas House wants you to show ID to use social media
> Is their position really going to be that parents don't have the right to parent their kids?

I think their position is more children have 1st amendment rights too.

comrh··on Arkansas House wants you to show ID to use social media
Utah just passed the bill this is based on. I'm sure it will in court for awhile.

> If an account holder is a minor, the social media company 33 shall confirm that a minor has consent under subsection (a) of this section 34 to become a new account holder, at the time an Arkansas user opens the 35 account.

I don't see any text about how they're suppose to verify that consent.

comrh··on Direct evidence of the use of multiple drugs in Bronze Age from human hair test
Societal harm
comrh··on A Midcentury Bender: Revisiting Mad Men
> passive-aggressive dickhead that Don is.

I very much disagree. Look how Tony treats his sister when she's trying to better herself and change their families tendency to rage, he jabs at her constantly until she breaks and gets immense satisfaction that she is as broken as him.

Melfi even argues Tony is a sociopath, Don at least realizes the difference between right and wrong.

comrh··on Twitter applies 7-day suspension to half a dozen journalists
They will because of Gwynne Shotwell and probably in spite of Musk

A good video that helped me fall better on skis after I broke my wrist (by falling incorrectly): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS0HCRMbRRA
comrh··on Elon Musk tells Twitter staff to work long hours or leave
Both companies famous for their burn out culture. That the CEO would want all employees to work as much as possible without concern for burnout is completely unsurprising, but that does not make it a good way to run a tech company.

Those companies are clearly not in the same position as twitter either. I have no idea why "trust Elon" should just be taken as a given.

comrh··on Meta ordered to sell Giphy by UK's competition watchdog CMA
If you want to do business in a market, you have to follow the market's rules.
comrh··on Video shows GOP fake elector giving 'unauthorized access' to voting equipment
That's assuming the scope and effects of gerrymandering, and that the public understanding of gerrymandering, remained constant, which is a big assumption.
