This is the key part of that article that hammered home to the point to me:

> However, the benefit of implants to women's subjective well-being is less easily quantified. As Angell astutely points out, the FDA assumed that the benefits of breast implants were minimal—especially in women who desired implants for aesthetic reasons—and therefore demanded that implant manufacturers demonstrate virtually absolute safety.

> I think all laws should have an expiration date, and have to be debated, and possibly reworded again and again over the generations.

Until “thou shalt not kill” gets held hostage by a senator who wants a subsidy for a coal mine.

Exempt those kinds of laws - murder, theft, false witness? Congrats, you have a de-facto theocracy.

Ah, another one of those business self-help articles that gives you recycled insight.

> For example, Bluesky right now is ironing out a fairly novel moderation system. They are doing this not only transparently, but with the input and active involvement of the users.

So the old Slashdot moderation system, only with multiple layers?

And if it is compatible with Mastodon, that audience will do all the advertising themselves.

A view quota is not a feature. Especially when the site was acceptably functional the day before.

Twitter’s gonna be a ghost town soon the way it’s trending. Instagram is providing a lifeboat, and it’s a known quantity of “evil”. Compared to whatever the heck Musk is doing.

New York Times != The Times of London

Most of this site still believes Bob Lee of Cash was killed by a homeless guy.

> Don’t even bother at the TWA hotel, you can’t book for a few hours even if they have a room available

11pm to 7am is definitely “one night” and you should be charged for one night.

Well, there's bird flu...

> Assistive Access includes a customized experience for Phone and FaceTime, which have been combined into a single Calls app

Hmm… telegraphing a future change?

And how is that relevant to the specific scenario presented in the article?

I thought you were referring to Australia’s hack.

That ramp in the back was a recent development?! [0]

I take it you’re not a Florida woman with a miscarriage.

For that particular example, the replacement with allowlist/denylist is a hell of a lot more descriptive and clear.

> The witness saw Momeni asking Lee whether Momeni's sister had been "doing drugs or anything inappropriate" earlier that day. Lee had to "reassure" Momeni that "nothing inappropriate had happened," according to the documents.

Or health and safety related. I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

Apparently, if you live in California, you have an easy online unsubscribe process.

I don’t understand why they couldn’t start building this route in Los Angeles instead of the middle of nowhere, and have something useful operating.

> Fairphone’s CFO, Noud Tillemans, told us the company sold around 120,000 devices last year — up from around 88,000 in 2021 and 23,000 in 2018. [1]

Yeah, that post could’ve been cut down by half but still retain the literary flourish the author desired.

Entertaining and informative enough to power thru, though.

Likely scenario:

Police: Do you know who attacked you?

Victim, trying to concentrate on his breathing, as the paramedics stop the bleeding, while being loaded onto an ambulance: Dunno.

And their newer, suspicious-looking domains:

1drv.ms (OneDrive file sharing)

microsoftonline.com (something to do with Azure)

b2clogin.com (replacement for microsoftonline.com)

But it isn’t about the plagiarism. It’s confirmation that the institution only cares about empty platitudes while not really doing anything else to help their students. And if they’re not helpful, why does their job exist?

The last time I saw a post about Stripe holding money, it turned out the guy was selling a car via his cell phone accessories business.

So, double check to make sure you didn't do anything stupid.

Which home?

It amazes me that Dolan the relatively successful hockey team owner and Dolan the bad basketball team owner are the same guy.

California does a fine job killing railway projects all by itself. It doesn't need Elon Musk.
