Always...? Lol.

Women are as much biological sex robots as men. We've all see tinder data. Connection is just a proxy for whatever 'protect my offspring' is in base pairs.

Yes, it's done.

You get what you asked for, or you didn't sufficiently define it.

Anonymity is eroding our democracies far faster than our privacy.

Britain isn't in the EU - so, it won't. I'm responding to a point that was made.

"The point is that laws can be unjust."

That's not exactly profound.

Yes.

milk (noun):

1. A whitish liquid containing proteins, fats, lactose, and various vitamins and minerals that is produced by the mammary glands of all mature female mammals after they have given birth and serves as nourishment for their young.

2. The milk of cows, goats, or other animals, used as food by humans.

3. Any of various potable liquids resembling milk, such as coconut milk or soymilk.

I'm not sure what point you are making, but isn't the one I was responding to.
ycombigators··on ChatControl: EU wants to scan all private messages, even in encrypted apps
I'm going to say yes, and no.

Mens rea underpins the British legal system.

ycombigators··on ChatControl: EU wants to scan all private messages, even in encrypted apps
Lazy.

The US believes the right of the individual to harass others based on their immutable characteristics is more important than the right of the individual to be free of harassment based on their immutable characteristics.

The UK doesn't, and that very much reflects UK vs US culture (US culture as we know being racist and divisive).

Meanwhile, the US seems to be flirting with a central idea of communism and fascism - that political criticism of the dear leader is off limits. Thus protecting the right of the (future) authoritarian (dictator) to be free of criticism.

I know which one of two actually reflects an important aspect of freedom of speech.

Rabble rousers will tell you otherwise, but the trick is to recognise they are rabble rousers.

"much like how the people of the UK already lost control of theirs"

What are you on about, mate?

Sounds like a company is not adequately defining what the deliverables are.

Task: Walk to the shops & buy some milk.

Deliverables: 1. Video of walking to the shops (including capturing the newspaper for that day at the local shop) 2. Reciept from local store for milk. 3. Physical bottle of Milk.

People say to me, how interesting... and they're right. They right! Nobody knows how interesting more than me.

LSE is top... lol, economics isn't even real.

"It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong" .... unless it's economic theory.

ycombigators··on They Thought They Were Free (1955)
Tremendous.

People say to me, "Donald, I said nothing. I thought of nothing to say." And they're right! They right! They said nothing, they thought of nothing to say.

Subversives...

... you mean late night comedians I'm guessing?

ycombigators··on Trumpcard (Official US Government Website)
Am I?

The poorest member of the world's richest 1% has wealth starting from around $800,000 to $1 million USD.

That's about 20 times my net wealth.

This surprise - does it involve another tax cut for the super rich?

ycombigators··on Trumpcard (Official US Government Website)
Trump foreign dictator card.

You mean like hoarding wealth?

ycombigators··on Learn Your Way: Reimagining Textbooks with Generative AI
That concept of teaching seems like a nice idea in a private school setting but wildly incompatible with most schools in the Anglosphere.
ycombigators··on Learn Your Way: Reimagining Textbooks with Generative AI
The issue is their intuition for the general case is actually gathered from a special case.

You need examples that point at the general case - like Newton's cradle.

Conservation of momentum helps.

You should have asked the head of languages to teach you tensor calculus.

Claiming control of citizens speech when you have a president literally censoring your media is kind of ridiculous.

The claim free speech is under threat in Europe just demonstrates you are easily led by rabble rousers.

Numbers exist mate.

The fact you don't know about them isn't my problem.

Dividing the kings wealth by the number of serfs in his kingdom doesn't make the serfs any richer.

Very ironic.

I actually am a foreign actor (effectively like your own president). I'm British.

Jones is a rabble rouser, as is most of the "right" in the US. You'd do well to learn how to spot them, and like your president, he's only interested with stuffing his pockets with money.

Enjoy your fascism - comes with a free side of disappearing people. I'm sure you'll be Pinchoeted in no time at all based on your narrative once it's all locked in.

ycombigators··on Introducing Stargate UK
Again with the "we". Per capita statistics are great distraction from neofeudalism.

What was the per capita GDP of Wessex?

ycombigators··on Introducing Stargate UK
"we are doing no worse" : is that the royal we? Because normal people absolutely are doing a lot worse over that last couple of decades.

I'm assuming you are a hunter because your gathering skills suck.
