Facebook is very damaging to the fabric of society and this is just further evidence of it all. If Facebook employed an even remotely accurate sample of the population based on political leanings and backgrounds for their content policy team this would have never happened. I think the amount of blame the left and media placed on Facebook for the 2016 election of President Trump are to majorly to blame for the whole situation.

Well that seems really expensive to enforce.

Is this true for the young male population? I've not seen that data.

My mental math told me ~5 nautical miles, I checked and I was off by 0.07. Metric would be nice but most people who have flown can do the rough math in their heads.

'Individuals and groups' It's not that.. It's just Capital and it's always been Capital.

Where I'm from fried food of many types is common if not expected at medium to large gatherings. It keeps pretty well and is almost universally liked, especially when you have good sides. I think people are reading too much into every word because of the groups he's promoting.

I can't believe studios let their publishers force this kind of tech into their run loops.

This is probably my last iPhone and I'll just switch to a dumb phone after this because I can't deal with 'features' like this I can't turn off.

Alternatively if it's not available DRM free I'll just buy it and support the author from wherever and then pirate a DRM free copy and archive it.

Love the project and concept. Signed up to your email list.

My first company was a DARPA R&D contracting firm and at one point we made our own EEG's. We solved some interesting problems but being in a helmet in a war is probably an easier use case than a head band that's comfortable to sleep in... What are you using for electrodes in your prototypes? Do you use an aerogel or the usual synapse paste? I can't imagine a consumer product would work for the later but maybe the former.

The state of the art for my old applications seems to now be micro/nano scale electrodes, from only a quick google. I've been out of the space for a bit shy of a decade so I'm interested to know how far it's come and how you're going to make the product comfortable.

Yeah, true the mRNA SARS-COV vaccines aren't all that effective after many months however, it could work better for things that don't mutate as much as Coronaviruses. It could still be magic. We just don't know yet it's all relatively new tech medically speaking and this is the current vaccines using the tech are the first ever widespread usage of the tech. We'll see how it goes long-term No one really knows how well or not it's going to go.

You're not wrong. I'm gonna add AI to our pitch deck for our A probably will be able to raise an additional 40%.

uncoder0 — Sat, 18 Sep 2021 21:21:38 +0000

That's pretty trivial 'AI'. The headline mentioning AI is just for clickbait, in reality it was just a remotely-operated drone gun with a fire control system.

I dunno... Worked for Twitch. Subscribe to a channel and no ads on their channel. They even used to offer an option to get no ads at all called turbo but Amazon canned that AFAIK.

CDC says ~ 60,000 to 2.5 million[1] which is a massive range spanning nearly 2 orders of magnitude. It's likely on the higher side because who calls the cops when they had to brandish a firearm to scare someone away... Brandishing is illegal in many states.

That changes the calculus even more.

Tor + Scripts is not good. You're probably right on why there isn't a newer version on their onion service.

There really isn't such a thing as straight journalism anymore. Most articles I've read are 'persuasion' pieces. It is rather sad.

I feel like the last year of 'quarantine' for most of the Western world has made people more comfortable with authoritarian governments and actions. It's rather alarming how widespread and quickly this change in ideology has happened.

I can't see that happening. Race is a valuable tool in capital's toolbox of divisiveness.
