BadHumans··on What Parler Saw During the Attack on the Capitol
Secret service killed one of them and they scattered like roaches.
BadHumans··on What Parler Saw During the Attack on the Capitol
You can't expect the police to shoot their own. Capitol security are the ones that opened the gates to let people in. Biden said it best, if the majority of these people were black there wouldn't any talk of pardons or calling it a peaceful protest.

You could take a sabbatical or they could be retired.

BadHumans··on You Wouldn't Download an AI
Is using millions of copyrighted works to train your AI a valid exemption? Asking for a few billionaire friends.
BadHumans··on A mole infiltrated the highest ranks of American militias
The details matter when talking about legalities. A group of cops investigating a gang that happens to have a lot of italian members is different than having a group of cops that investigates italians.
BadHumans··on A mole infiltrated the highest ranks of American militias
> Unless otherwise noted, none of the militia members mentioned in this story responded to requests for comment

This is a serious story but this made me burst out laughing. Sorry, the PR agent for these heavily armed militias was unable to return my request for comments.

BadHumans··on I'm quitting the Washington Post
Wapo and the New York Times definitely play with kid gloves on when dealing with the insane shit republicans get away it.
BadHumans··on Perplexity got ads
No one pays for things but very few people are going to quit because of ads. Having an ad-supported tier almost always makes the most sense.
BadHumans··on Building a Knowledge System That Enhances Rather Than Replaces Thought
Isn't this what Tiktok is in China? It mostly promotes educational and science content.
BadHumans··on PlasticList's Advice for Food Companies
> take for example Bisphenol A (BPA), one of the monomers used in making polycarbonate - which most people have heard of, and has now been almost universally eliminated from things that contact food and water for human consumption.

Why did they find large amounts of BPA in more than a few foods they tested if it has been eliminated from food manufacturing process?

BadHumans··on uBlock Origin GPL code being stolen by team behind honey browser extension
Title is misleading. The original team behind Honey has created a new company that is doing this and not Honey itself which is owned by Paypal.
BadHumans··on How and Why I Stopped Buying New Laptops (2020)
Before Framework there wasn't a good option if you did anything more than office work. Even Framework's offerings aren't powerful enough in many ways.
BadHumans··on Tesla replaces laid-off U.S. workers with foreigners using visas pushed by Musk
I suggest reading the actual report linked in the article. You don't need to change the amount of total visa numbers. Tesla has requested over 3% of the total allocation, around 2000 visas. These are typically decided by lottery but I imagine a friend in high places can make sure that lottery leans more your way then it originally would.
BadHumans··on Tesla replaces laid-off U.S. workers with foreigners using visas pushed by Musk
I imagine it is easier when you own the president.
BadHumans··on Show HN: Watch 3 AIs compete in real-time stock trading
Can I let Claude do all my trading for me? It currently sits at 77% unrealized gains.
BadHumans··on Orbit by Mozilla
I don't know what bit of news you are talking about. Unless you are just talking about the news in general which still doesn't prove anything. Any news that Google is stealing data out of GCP is not something you could just sweep under the rug in 24 hours.
BadHumans··on Orbit by Mozilla

BadHumans··on Orbit by Mozilla
Any revelation that Google is siphoning data out of other companies GCP instances would be so earth-shattering I don't think it is happening.
BadHumans··on After 30 years, FDA overhauls guideline for the claim "healthy" on food packages
Salmon can be accumulators of plastics and heavy metals. It is not as simple was labeling things as healthy or not healthy.
BadHumans··on Insurers Rely on Doctors Whose Judgments Have Been Criticized by Courts
Similar to "Justice is blind" it has always been an ideal and not actually reality.
BadHumans··on You Deserve a Tech Union – Together, we can build a better tech industry. (book)
People deserve to be paid for their work but you are approaching an industry that does not believe unions are useful and trying to convince them that they are useful so you should try to get the information out as freely as possible.
BadHumans··on Notes on China
Jordan Peterson is intelligent when he is in his field I will give him that but calling Joe Rogan and Lex Friedman intellectuals should be a crime.

BadHumans··on U.S. homelessness jumps to record high amid affordable housing shortage
I can tell you my city isn't in this report.
BadHumans··on U.S. homelessness jumps to record high amid affordable housing shortage
These buildings have been vacant for years and a few of them are on the market for an absurd price. I don't think they have ill intent. I'm sure in their mind what could be ill intentioned about waiting for someone to pay them the right price? Doesn't mean there aren't very real consequences for letting these buildings sit empty.
BadHumans··on U.S. homelessness jumps to record high amid affordable housing shortage
At the risk of doxxing myself I very intentionally left it in vague. Lets say an urban area in the US west :)
BadHumans··on U.S. homelessness jumps to record high amid affordable housing shortage
I live in a dense urban area and there are literally a dozen buildings that are empty and derelict because the property owners are just sitting on them hoping to flip them. They can't get the price they want so they will just let them sit empty and decay.
