hdlothia··on Ministry of Justice orders deletion of the UK's largest court reporting database
Why are you saying unbounded when the discussion is about court proceedings and convictions? There is a clear and consistent boundary here, no one is asking for search logs and round the clock surveillance.
hdlothia··on Bitchat for Gaza – messaging without internet
people in palestine have been tweeting, posting to ig and tik tok throughout the entire conflict
hdlothia··on Bitchat for Gaza – messaging without internet
It says the dataset is 'colleague's households' which might be different from all of gaza.
hdlothia··on Judge orders administration to distribute SNAP contingency money amid shutdown
Biden and Obama appointees ruling against the admin, probably to be overturned by republican nominated judges. Have judges gotten more partisan recently or has it always been like this.

Hopefully some people at least get money for food in the mean time.

hdlothia··on Instagram removes slain Gaza journalist Saleh al Jafarawi's account
The taliban didn't prevent the usa from doing anything we left because we were tired of spending money.
hdlothia··on Instagram removes slain Gaza journalist Saleh al Jafarawi's account
Hamas doesn't have an air force, how could they prevent the idf from doing anything.
hdlothia··on Scientists say X has lost its professional edge and Bluesky is taking its place
You are right, public health officials instead of cdc would be the better way to phrase it.
hdlothia··on Scientists say X has lost its professional edge and Bluesky is taking its place
That does sound super interesting.He probably had a real fun time doing science in the 70s.
hdlothia··on Scientists say X has lost its professional edge and Bluesky is taking its place
Yeah x is a mess. When scientists say it's nice to just post about science on bluesky without being called slurs or harassed, I believe them.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-023-01537-5. One study says the endorsement had little effect on voting intention but damaged credibility and perception of scientists.

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/04/public-hea... I supported blm and still do. The CDC should have stayed out of it.
hdlothia··on Scientists say X has lost its professional edge and Bluesky is taking its place
I feel like scientists should be explaining to us how the world is, and then other people should use those explanations to try and improve it.

Right now I feel like there are a scientists who would hide or discard results if they contradicted their advocacy beliefs,which is a dangerous place to be imo.

hdlothia··on Scientists say X has lost its professional edge and Bluesky is taking its place
I mean things like nature starting to make endorsements for president. Overly political for no reason.
hdlothia··on Scientists say X has lost its professional edge and Bluesky is taking its place
It is 100% allowed, I just don't think it's really helpful or beneficial for them or society

Especially when they try to lean on their status as scientists in order to try and have their opinions be more influential.

The cdc for example saying it's ok to disregard their previous guidance in order to protest for black lives matter is one of these credibility damaging moments that is hard to undo.

hdlothia··on Scientists say X has lost its professional edge and Bluesky is taking its place
It would be nice if scientists started being just scientists again instead of activists. Hopefully being cloistered on bluesky will bring the old vibes back
hdlothia··on An open letter calling for a hard fork of Rails to remove DHH's influence
Probably since about early 1990s. Maybe I should say civic nationalism instead of multiculturalism but I think most liberals would reject the idea that ethnicity or heritage were important in determining nationality.
hdlothia··on An open letter calling for a hard fork of Rails to remove DHH's influence
This is a big conflict in modern liberalism and democracy. If the british people vote for an ethnostate what are we supposed to do. subvert multicultural ideas? or subvert democracy?
hdlothia··on An open letter calling for a hard fork of Rails to remove DHH's influence
One of the core tenets of liberalism is that multi cultural societies and nations are just as good as mono cultural ones. what are you trying to imply here with the africa and middle eastern examples
hdlothia··on Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its tech in mass surveillance of Palestinians
Kinda bullish for azure that the idf chose it over aws
hdlothia··on Corporations are trying to hide job openings from US citizens
How do the nazis qualify as not prejudiced?
hdlothia··on First, They Came for the Software Engineers
Wildest part of this paradigm is that 'They' is also software engineers.
hdlothia··on Why am I still on Twitter?
I have noticed that many people that I followed who announced departures have quietly come back and started tweeting again.
hdlothia··on [dead]
I'm glad he stepped in and prevented the assault of a woman and her child. He made a mistake and should have let go earlier, but mistakes happen in the heat of charged situations. The cowards are the people who let a man with multiple assaults on women free into society.
hdlothia··on [dead]
I am glad that he is landing on his feet after those reckless prosecutors tried to ruin his life.
hdlothia··on One engineer said "retarded" in a meeting. I just fired him
1) I don't believe that this happened, people lie/embellish stories on the internet all the time.

2) I believe people have the right to free association. I wouldn't fire someone for saying retarded, but people like forever_wario have the right to live their values.

3) Using politically controversial language in white collar working places that are traditionally woke or woke leaning is asking for trouble.

hdlothia··on Exposed DeepSeek database leaking sensitive information, including chat history
This kinda does support the 'DeepSeek is the side project of a bunch of quants' angle.

Seems like the kind of mistake you would make if you are not used to deploying external client facing applications.

hdlothia··on The Origins of Wokeness
Professors, judges, lawyers, journalists, politicians, tech moderators, probably anything in the arts or education. On reddit and bluesky you can get banned for having the median voter's opinion on gender norms and immigration.
hdlothia··on Delivering 15TB of 4K video with Cloudflare R2 for $2.18
I have been planning a small video service for my own use and this past was very informative. Thank you so much
hdlothia··on Who is Marcellus Williams: Execution in Missouri despite evidence of innocence
This is a lawyer's evasive way of hiding that these individuals revealed info that was not known to the public but was confirmed to be accurate by the police
hdlothia··on Who is Marcellus Williams: Execution in Missouri despite evidence of innocence
Bell and the victim's family wanted a commuted sentence, not a pardon. They did not believe in his innocence.
