Which countries do you have in mind?

I know a lot of Americans talk that way about America, but America tolerates quite a bit of government censorship (DMCA/SLAP), privacy violations (NSA/TSA), and civil rights violations (prison slaves, war on drugs).

Brave is going ad supported, so it'll be under the same pressure as Google. I'm trying Kagi and still reserving judgement.

On a micro level, I live in the US and I don't know anyone who takes fentanyl. "Every corner" is likely journalistic hyperbole.

I agree with your main point.

FWIW, FMV is agnostic of cost.

This is a weird one though. They're defending the freedom of criminals to commit crimes while simultaneously calling for the criminals to be prosecuted.

"Free speech is for everyone, even the people planning and orchestrating your murder."

FTFY

They're one of the few sites bad enough that even Cloudflare blocked them, which made big news at the time

It's worth noting, Go's stdlib isn't perfect, but that's part of why it's so good. You can see how they've deprecated certain methods/fields/etc while maintaining backwards compatibility.

If you say so. The point was that the transhumanism is just a fact: technology changes us. The people attacking transhumanism are generally more pro status quo than they are anti-technology, whether they realize it or not.

Transhumanism applies to basic everyday things like glasses, crutches, chairs, cars, etc. Some have even suggested (with basis) that sharable ideas can be a form of transhumanism.

I'm curious what the authors' true position is. They talk about the ideal being a "natural state". How "natural" are we talking about? No medicine? No farm equipment? No language? Just a bunch of primates grunting at each other ineffectively?

Maybe I should be more critical of how technology is evolving our species, but attacking transhumanism as an idea is reminiscent of the luddites.

Yes, with strict regulation from medical boards that doctors are actually operating in their patients' best interest. We don't need more Texas-style "Doctor Death"s.

Freedom of speech meaning freedom from consequences has never existed, and will never exist.

Infringing on a company's freedom of association does not eliminate consequences for speech.

This is about freedom of association and the right (or lack thereof) to other people's broadcast equipment.

I had donated to the EFF in the past, but their stance[1] that CDNs/hosted services shouldn't be allowed to choose the customers they are willing work with is not only wrong, it's causes harm[2].

Any reason to believe this isn't to restore demand at dealerships for existing production, and that they'll discontinue it again after inventory sells?

Given batteries degrade a percent per year, that's unfortunate. I make a similar length trip, and I wanted to make it one way on a single charge.

Separate and related question: what can a single person making less than 55k in CA afford if they are renting their own 1 bd?

"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

The problematic dude's disdain for humanity aside, the quote serves as a good reminder that the "but the criminals!" argument is often used and rarely justified.

Doordash in particular has been trying to charge a ton of service fees and "suggest" high tips. Sorry/not sorry to say their service fees come out of the driver's otherwise generous tip.

That's extortion, not blackmail.

Edmunds seems to track prices paid. The data isn't extremely available though as far as I'm aware. They expose it when pricing an individual vehicle as part of their sales referral program.

Tell me your company doesn't use headsets without telling me.

Seriously, if their major complaint is half-duplex audio, just make sure everyone is using headsets so everyone can speak and listen at the same time.

For men, "political disagreement" means arguments at home. For women, "political disagreement" means risking their lives.

Not just praises Elon, but wants the same for Reddit.

> Huffman said he saw Musk’s handling of Twitter, which he purchased last year, as an example for Reddit to follow.

That's not the dichotomy. It's whether or not she was coerced, and there's a presumption of coercion with minors. It's still wrong if she's 18 and being trafficked.

For you or anyone who might be considering it, there's a safety warning on that brand: https://www.engadget.com/cpsc-onewheel-safety-warning-213555...

This looks like a crowd funding thing. Anyone know the people running it? Are they reputable or might they pocket all the money and disappear?

One of the major objections is the lack of space in cities. Some people want physical space (>2000 sq-ft). Some want personal space (the ability to have a quiet private alone space). Both are difficult/costly to get in cities and it has nothing to do with cars.

In the strictest sense, it's tolerated because it's an acceptable price to get the product.

If you're asking, "why doesn't someone do something about it" there are people actively encouraging the foundation to lay off. In fact, now you can click a "I already donated" button to silence them when you couldn't before.

Also, they don't show it to logged in users, so the people making the product aren't being hounded for additional donations

Worked for a web hosting company. Created a regional routing and fail over mechanism that leveraged the CDN's own cache to store routing information so sites could be dynamical and individually re-routed by the CDN.

What’s your source for how much work was done?
