Get in touch with Kitboga or any of the littany of youtubers that try protecting the innocent from these scam centers.
nullish_signal··on Where is the moral outrage about Britain’s grooming gangs?
Why there is no Action against the Perpetrators: "...it sounded like a far-Right conspiracy."
nullish_signal··on Woke ChatGPT?
Yes, chatGPT seems to have an anti-white bias. "When presented with "the trolley problem," if the races are stated, ChatGPT will always decide to kill the White people, regardless of the number differential." https://twitter.com/Mrestman7/status/1611349489289203713?s=2...

If you wish to flag or downvote individual comments of mine, Go For It! I enjoy testing my ideas to see which are Agreed with and which are Disagreed with.
nullish_signal··on Woke ChatGPT?
If hacker news is filled with liberal ideologues, of course that's what my comments will look like

If chatGPT is run by liberals and programmed with an anti-white bias, then of course my comments will be Racist.

"Adopted", no. Liberal Californian OpenAI hires Kenyans to help censor the AI, to ensure it will never tell a Donald Trump joke.

nullish_signal··on Chinese PlugX Malware Hidden in Your USB Devices?
Recently bought a USB external soundcard (Mic In, 2 Headphone, 2 USB) Made in China. LEDs stayed on when PC was off so I looked up how to disable USB power when off, which worked.

Twice now, the ASCP disabled setting has reverted. Have yet to try setting a BIOS password, and I did not try this setting earlier so can not confirm it is this USB device messing with it, maybe I should update my BIOS

nullish_signal··on Impossible Foods planning to lay off 20% of staff
I love Bean Burgers, Veggie Burritos, and the hard Crunch of a good Salad that makes me feel like an Elephant stomping through Forest.

But every time I've wanted to try an "Impossible" Burger it has been $1 more expensive than the Real Meat at around $4 or $5, so I don't bother. The Calories to Dollar Value is simply not there. If the Impostor Burgers were $1 Cheaper, I would gladly try them.

nullish_signal··on Bipartisan bill targets antisemitic incidents in Florida by making them felonies
Pearl Harbor was flour-bombed twice in War Games, with Sunday morning tactics decried as "unfair" by Top Brass after Referees awarded the faux attacker the win. They did not learn, and then the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor with the same tactics, dragging the USA into WW2.

https://www.military.com/navy/pearl-harbor-first-attack.html

I praise God that the Japanese Internment camps had steady supply lines safe from Enemy Aerial Bombing, unlike the German camps, where many starved. Lest the USA have been accused of a "Holocaust" against the Japanese on our own soil.

nullish_signal··on Bipartisan bill targets antisemitic incidents in Florida by making them felonies
Weimar Germany had many Morally Reprehensible activities such as the Prostitution of Animals and Children, delivered by Telephone. I'm glad those were put to an end.

Edit: sources from quick google search https://www.salon.com/2000/11/22/weimar/ https://www.conservapedia.com/Bestiality_and_Germany

I am worried to see the results of our modern wave of Liberal Tolerance, and Medical Mutilation of Children such as Jazz Jennings, broadcast to Millions of Homes.

I do not hold the Holocaust as core Dogma central to my everyday decision-making, but I fear that the pre-Conditions for it are here again, 100 years later.

nullish_signal··on The long tail of the internet promised diversity; instead we got sameness
"...promised Diversity, instead we got Homogeneity"

Many such cases!

Reminds me of how New York City Mayor Adams became very interested in Illegal Immigration from Mexico, once Texas Governor Abbot started bussing (17,000! of) them direct to NYC.

nullish_signal··on Pause for Clarity
Real nice.

Another great tip from someone else is that you can't speak to an Audience, only to Individuals within the Audience. The Speaker should take bits of time to glance at Individual reactions, to then build up a sense of how well Everyone is understanding the message.

nullish_signal··on UK’s Power Switch-Off Shows Future for Cleaner Energy Grid
"Opportunities will only increase as economies decarbonize."

This is so nauseating to read. It feels sinister, like there's an additional essay of context in here that is being implied but not communicated clearly.

I guess the point does clearly come across when the article lays out hopes for power companies having the ability to remotely raise the temp of your fridge without your knowledge.

But at least they'll have your (implied) consent, and you will be happy to have your fridge temp raised by those who know better than you do.

nullish_signal··on The Narcissism of the Angry Young Men
"We can lament some of those changes—I certainly do, particularly the collapse of a kind of mature sense of stoicism and self-control among men. But we cannot reverse them, not least because that would, in effect, require turning back time and unraveling years of social progress."

There it is! Thank you Feminism, Very Cool.

Hopefully I will make enough money to keep my wife happy at home and OUT of the workforce.

nullish_signal··on Ask HN: What assurance do you have that you are NOT being spied on?
I will speak as I please...
nullish_signal··on Elon Musk directly ordered staff to suspend a left-wing activist's account
How Boring!

Or is there any more context you can add, to evolve my opinion beyond "Thank God it's not CNN"?

nullish_signal··on The Battle Over Bike Lanes Needs a Mindset Shift
It is a Good Idea to segregate traffic by Weight and Kinetic Energy.

Trains should not be next to Cars should not be next to Bikes should not be next to Pedestrians. As for Kinetic Energy, The Diverging Diamond interchange is an incredible example of increasing the Safety with which Street and Highway vehicle traffic can exchange, by Reducing the number of Collision points that are -Allowed to Exist-.

20mph Bikes being next to 40mph Cars is a HUGE difference in Kinetic Energy, and dedicated Bike/Pedestrian routes are always the most pleasant to Bike on. Maybe not the most pleasant to Walk on! But obviously, everyone needs to get themselves and their goods somewhere, and compromises need to be made...

nullish_signal··on US police use digital data to prosecute abortions
Behaving in all interactions, public and private, as if a Police Panopticon is watching you.

It well May Be! Facebook is not your Friend, absolutely. I do agree that personal conversations are better had Face to Face.

But blaming oneself, or victims of the Digital Panopticon, for their ineptitude, is very disheartening.

Of -course- they could have had better opsec. But for another Example, of -course- any Suicide victim could have also chosen to "do better" instead. Equally insensitive advice, even if it is true.

nullish_signal··on Continued Improvements in Blood Donor Screening
>Gay Men et al can now Donate Blood

I hope hope hope the Testing of Donated Blood is never similarly relaxed for fear of """discrimination""" against groups with higher-than-average prevalence of HIV

nullish_signal··on Ask HN: Should we be asking 'how did you sleep' vs. 'how are you'?
It seems much more Thought-Provoking, for sure!

The Novelty alone would make me stop and think about my response. Or a similar lifestyle-probing question, like "How was your Dinner last night?"

"...because Time at Home with her 3 Kids is more Joyful" Half of these headlines miss the point, obviously for clickbait... I dislike the Negative connotation
nullish_signal··on A robot was scheduled to argue in court. Then came the jail threats
I'm actually very intrigued by the Fine Print of "whatever the AI says"

Perhaps the best move is instead to act as Legal Counsel. Allow the Defendant their Free Speech, with AI merely Advising.

But it's certainly a more Spectacular Performance if it's 100% AI, which I worry the company is more focused on for Advertisement. I mean - offering $1 Million to enjoin their AI to a Supreme Court case? I imagine Dr. Evil from Austin Powers, pinkie to his lips, Clueless to the Current Value of $1 Billion and $1 Million and laughed out of the room, but now - "I demand.... The Supreme Court!"

Pessimism Aside, I am glad that so many people have been helped by DoNotPay, and it seems they will continue to do right by their existing customers.

nullish_signal··on A robot was scheduled to argue in court. Then came the jail threats
This is a real shame. But the California BAR charges about $500 per attorney license per year, and in 2022 there were about 200,000 of them, so the California BAR stands to lose $100,000,000 in income. Very Perverse Incentive to keep their Gravy Train rolling.

I think trialling this Liberal Ground-Breaking Tech in any other state besides CA or NY would be a good idea. Very upset to see that DoNotPay has folded so easily.
