Fuck you.
  • I would totally pay for YouTube premium if they weren't so good about making me watch my favorite gun-tubers on other platforms. Every channel has this endless and constantly changing list of words they can't say for fear of being demonetized.

    Fuck them indeed.

    Break up the monopoly and I won't need to block your ads because I'll be able to go elsewhere.

  • Wake-up Call: Democrats could easily lose the White House and Senate next year
  • I would absolutely vote Republican if they were just a bit to the left on abortions, education, and unions. Actually unions and teamsters would totally support Republicans if they weren't openly hostile to them.

    Right now they're just different flavors of big government endlessly growing and I really think some libertarians need some wins to shake them up.

  • Tips for someone who's about to move to Canada
  • I moved Mykolaiv+Odessa to US in the 90's, then married someone who grew up in Canada. Citizen of both.

    Food wise, try a lot, Ukrainian flavors are incredibly bland, depending on where you live (I know Mississauga well) the Indian food is very good and authentic and kind of the polar opposite of traditional slavic cooking.

    Canadians are more diverse, cultures vary depending on who you're talking to, cannot always tell just by appearance. Very very different from Ukraine in this regard as well.

    Other things people here covered already.

  • Does Marijuana Make Anybody Pass Out Like Me?
  • I do that. I got thc-v extract isolated in a lab from someone in the industry (supposedly a bit more of a simulant), when I took it I passed out until the next day and was depressed for a week after that. There's some poorly understood relationship here, but my doc said it confirms my (very mild) type 2 bipolar suspicion/diagnosis.

  • Welcome to the wonderful world of code obfuscation
  • Here's a fun thought experiment: What gregorian year and date will the spacian date value of zero correlate to? Trick question.

    The atomic clock on the moon and every other celestial body colonized will simply start at zero, and thanks to relativity it will not actually be the same rate of time passing as on earth.

    Enjoy your nightmares.

  • Recognizing fake news now a required subject in California schools
  • You disagree with my statement that is not actually contradicted by anything in your statement, apart from your open acceptance of flawed studies?

    My question then is this: what do they teach kids to allow them to spot flaws and what do they teach them as the method for determining who is reputable? Beyes theorem? How to control for multiple variables? I don't actually know whether they go into this or tell kids to JUST trust an authority.

    Flawed studies have done all kinds of harm over the years before being retracted. Linking vaccines to autism for one.

  • Rivian blames “fat finger” for infotainment-bricking software update
  • Interns do but should not get the level of write access that makes a durable change impacting all customers. Deadlock a server or even wipe SQL tables, this is an outage. Break a customer's configuration, send the wrong client's paperwork, again small scale problem you can deal with. Interns don't change company policy.

    I think it's a more foundational architecture question: why do you push builds to all customers at once without gating it by SOMETHING that positively confirms the exact OTA update package has been validated? The absolute simplest thing I can think of is pushing to 1 random car and waiting for the post-install self tests to pass before pushing to everyone else. Maybe there's actually no release automation?? But then you make it safe a different way. It's just defensive coding practice, I'm not even a CS degree but learned on the job something always breaks so you generally account for the expectation that everything will fail by making a fail-safe just so the failure is not spectacular. Nothing fancy, just enough mitigation to keep the fuck up from eating into your weekend if it happens on a Friday.

  • MAY USE FULL LANE
  • To be more precise: fuel efficiency standards go down with the physical volume a vehicle takes up.

    So every year efficiency requirement goes up, but you just update the body every few years to add a little more sheet metal and stay within your legal mandate.

  • Recognizing fake news now a required subject in California schools
  • That's the thing though, outside of studies published in journals where you look up their ranking and it's high enough that you trust the peer review, how do you tell the difference between imperfect and flawed in a way that renders the conclusion useless to your use case? It's not a rhetorical question, that's what I'm saying requires deeper knowledge and where you should not trust it alone without having qualified help review it for you. And without the help, yeah it's just as well to go without.

  • Recognizing fake news now a required subject in California schools
  • Not a Republican but see one risk and one flaw in teaching kids to rely 100% on science: there are strategic reasons to make some decisions which you miss if you rely solely on "science" sources. The biggest risk here is if kids are taught to trust anything called "science" but not how to differentiate between good studies and bad studies - there are journals that will publish anything, and it's easy to manipulate people if they cannot effectively differentiate between good and bad studies, which requires a deeper understanding of statistics and ability to think critically about the variables tested, controlled, and overlooked or ignored.

  • Popular porn sites now display unproven health warnings thanks to Texas law
  • I agree porn addiction has been around for a long time, but it's very different not that we're reaching a point in time where people who are expected to be adults and functional in their mid 20's grew up in a world of ubiquitous Internet access and had smart phones.

    So while porn addiction existed since photography, this is the first time we get to see the effect of population-wide unrestricted access to these things from a very young age.

    It's actually probably better now with parent-child account management and the like, which didn't exist at all 15-20 years ago. Also 15-20 years ago CSAM, death imagery, real rape and mutilation videos were all on the front pages of openly accessible .com's anyone could visit.
