  • They have already censored entire accounts at the request of governments.

  • Decentralized isn't the right word to use for a system like this.

    Even though BS is going to appoint multiple different volunteer moderators (aka "Trusted Verifiers") for this system, ultimate authority and control are entirely centralized with BS.

  • More like: That could be useful, just not for (perhaps many) drones.

    1km isn't that far - the drones that were used for surveillance of Minneapolis protests in 2020 were around 6km up.

    If they needed to get close for some reason, would a 1km deterrent be countered enough by approaching from directly above and using gravity for the last km?

  • Based on that logic, maybe reworking it to use 'toxin' instead would get it boosted...

  • Yep, one of those things the IT department takes care of and most other people just need to know to keep their devices updated.

  • Regular chalk is calcium carbonate. Crayola's website says their sidewalk chalk uses calcium sulfate (gypsum as an ingredient in plaster of paris).

    So they're both calcium salts.

  • Trump officials shared military plans on a private app — 10 years after uproar over Hillary Clinton’s private server

  • Are you suggesting they didn't know Signal wasn't an approved platform for sensitive government communication and willfully used it anyway?

  • That's literally the defining feature of asymmetric cryptography. There are many explanations of how it works which you can easily find. One example is the Wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

    If you educate yourself and are still confused, you should probably just accept the fact that even though you can't understand the specifics, information encoded with the public key cannot be decoded with the same public key.

  • In my opinion the most relevant commonality is the hypocrisy of all the involved parties. Hillary had sent out a notice to the entire State Department saying to only use official communication platforms, and then did the opposite as if she thinks she's above the rules.

    Then these Republicans who condemned the actions also used a non-official platform.

  • OpenAI declares AI race “over” if training on copyrighted works isn’t fair use

    Jump

  • Copyright does not give the holder control over every "use", especially something as vague as "using it to undermine their skillset".

    Copyright gives the rights holder a limited monopoly on three activities: to make and sell copies of their works, to create derivative works, and to perform or display their works publicly.

    Not all uses involve making a copy, derivative, or performance.

  • What's stopping you from writing your Rust like this?

  • Oh, so Rust is like JavaScript!

  • Entropy? Never heard of it.

  • It's poor for the second, since the result is a gas (hard to store long term). We would want it as a solid or liquid product, which this doesn't do.

    Why wouldn't the device include or feed a compressor to liquidize the CO2? It takes just a little over 5 atm of pressure which is trivial.

  • LGBTQ+ Meta staff reportedly taking time off for ‘mental illness’ after hate speech policy change

  • Wrong. These people can't handwave away their portion of responsibility for the current situation. They chose to lend their skills to a company with a long, well-documented track record of actions harmful to society. If you can get hired by one of the FAANG companies you could also get hired by nearly any company.

  • Leopards/faces, etc. These people were fine with contributing their cogs to the evil machine that is facebook in exchange for a ridiculous salary, but now want it to be a big deal when it affects them more specifically.
