The UK has fewer knife attacks per person than the US.
It’s just that there’s so much gun violence, no one talks about it.


I would assume the token is only good for a few page accesses.
E.g. 500 would mean that a person would see this extremely rarely, and still block a bot from crashing the site.


I think it’s just been easy to ignore how evil they are.
They’ve been tightly linked with Peter Thiel since they took over PayPal which has constantly stolen people’s money. It’s just harder for an auction house like eBay to be obviously evil.


The quantified scientist would be the first to tell you that he’s making these determinations on a sample size of one (sometimes he gets a friend to help, and then it’s a sample size of two).
So maybe what ever tech you’re thinking about will work for him and not for you or vice versa.
Unfortunately, it’s kinda like the wild west out there. The tech changes so fast that no one has time to do a big study and figure out what actually works.


Oh it’s much worse than that.

Cops have used Flock’s FreeForm search feature to look for people with tattoos and wearing specific sport shirts, and searches sometimes include the target’s race, according to data reviewed by 404 Media.


Remember that anthropic are renting this data center, and should be seen as just as responsible as Musk.

Also Musk is such a loser, he built and ran this giant polluting data center without knowing what to do with it, and ended up renting it out at what looks like a loss.


Yeah, try riding a folding bike with small wheels, you wobble a lot more.
It’s not about the magnitude of the rotational inertia (which is roughly the same or maybe a bit higher on larger wheels that are probably heavier), it’s about the center of the gyroscopic effect. It’s at a greater height if you have big wheels, and closer to the ground if you have small ones.


I think it only holds if it’s a magic engine that always hits the same max RPM regardless of load, and the transmission is the same.
Otherwise the top land speed record would be held by a monster truck.


The answer to width is rolling resistance.
Tires stick to road which is great for accelerating and breaking, but it makes maintaining your top speed harder. This doesn’t matter if you have a big engine, but it makes a difference if you’re cycling.
For a road bike, you want to minimize the contact area of the tire with the road so you have very narrow tires and inflated a lot so that they don’t deform much under your weight.
The type and width of tires changes depending on what you’re riding on. For off road you have wide knobbly tires that will catch in mud and push you forward. For riding on a beach you have very wide smooth tires for traveling over sand.
The diameter is about stability. If you have small wheels turning fast it effectively lowers your center of gravity due to gyroscopic effects (this is a massive over simplification of the physics) big wheels turning more slowly results in a higher center of gravity, which is more stable.
Cars have four wheels and don’t need to care about this.


Ok real talk here.
Work to rule and malicious compliance only works when you have the backing of a strong union, or workers rights. In the US, for most jobs, they can fire you whenever they feel like it, and for no reason at all.
If anyone senior decides you’re fucking with them, even if there’s no proof, and they’re completely running on vibes, they might just fire you anyway.
My advice is copy the other porters. They know how much they can get away with, and find a decent hiding place for when you’re on a break.


Misinformation = might be mistake


I think the idea is create the community, add some initial content, and then post about it on !newcommunities@lemmy.world


Musk really needs to do it now to get a decent listing.
The problem is he has no income for all his AI stuff, Twitter advertising revenue is still in the toilet, and spaceX’s biggest customer is the US government, but the Democrats fucking hate him, and the mid terms are coming up.
So time to squeeze the little guys to get some revenue.
I had never realized how much Halle Berry looks like Zoolander till I saw the third picture.


Got to cash out their shares using your pension fund before they go bankrupt.


So this is pretty good.
https://measuredcollective.com/is-google-forms-gdpr-compliant/
It’s a list of things you need to do in order to make the use of Google forms gdpr compliant.
One thing they don’t touch on is the use of personal accounts to collect data. People tend to use Google forms because it’s easy to set up using their personal account, but that essentially removes any company oversight from the collection and data processing. This makes it much harder to satisfy the data controller requirements.
Of course if it’s an external contractor gathering the data and processing it independently, your company is likely to dismiss all this as not their problem.
If it’s real academic research it will have had to go through ethics approval, and this should include data handling, and gdpr compliance.


Yeah, how racist do you need to be for this supreme court to decide it’s a bit much?


You can blame American puritism for that.
No sexual content on these websites, instead we’re going to stir up rage and sell everyone an AR-14.
This makes no sense. Why would a school’s insurance policy cover kids outside of school (excluding the bus which might still be school jurisdiction)?
And if insurance doesn’t cover them anyway, it shouldn’t care what they do.
