  • What is your perspective on a government permitting activities that are technically illegal?

    Jump

  • In the US this is supposed to be balanced by the judicial branch, which can decide if the executive is doing a good job of enforcing the laws or not. (Not that I think the US is a good example of a balanced government, given our current state…)

    Some countries have more branches of government intended to help with this problem:

  • This kind of thing can be considered a form of “checks and balances”. If one branch of the government passes a law and another branch enforces it, both branches have to agree for the law to function.

  • Media viewer and the file browser are completely different programs with different support for media file types.

    Not that this is an excuse for Media Viewer to not open webp files. Also asking you to pay for h265 support is extra ridiculous.

    I just use VLC for everything.

  • Cephalopod eye transplant!

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the brain could figure out how to use a cephalopod style eye, especially if it was given young.

  • The server is sending me data and I’m choosing what program I’m using to interpret that data. That shouldn’t be illegal, regardless of the purposes of the data.

  • This is a nice CloudFlare ad

  • Why do Americans pretend they're not broke when most Americans are in debt?

  • I borrow $1000, assuring you I can pay you back because I have $5000 worth of stock.

    A few years later, I borrow $5000, assuring you I can pay you back because I have $10000 worth of stock (it’s not more stock, it’s just worth more now). I use that $5000 to pay off the $1000 debt plus interest, and then have some left over.

    Few years later, I borrow $10000, assuring you I can pay you back because I have $50,000 worth of stock. I use that $10000 to pay off the $5000 debt plus interest and then have some leftover.

    Repeat as necessary. The bank does eventually get their money (when you die or are for some reason forced to sell, paying off the debt with cash rather than promises). To the bank this is an investment. To you, it’s a way to get cash without having to actually sell your stocks, avoiding taxes, and letting your value continue to skyrocket.

  • Tesla Robotaxi Stops Mid-Intersection After Running a Red Light… The Influencer Onboard Calls It “Impressive”

    Jump

  • It didn’t “run a red light”. In the video, the lights were green when it entered the intersection.

    But yeah, it should not have tried to make that turn from that lane.

    I think it is useful to send crash reports, but the user should have power over it (see: when macOS generates a crash report, it asks the user if they would like to send it)

    That is your data they are taking to make money off of without your consent, and I consider that malicious. There are ways to do that with consent. See: Steam’s annual hardware survey

  • Honestly it largely is.

    Personally I like sharing crash reports, but even then, the user should be able to turn that off if you like.

    Telemetry should be 100% opt-in.

  • If enough people used “green” to refer to “red” objects, the meaning of the word would change.
