False dichotomy - there are people who outright think it doesn't exist, and people who think it is the impending apocalypse, then there are people who think it is serious, but are optimistic and think we are capable, and able, to find solutions, and have time to do it, as well as those who might believe climate change is real, but wonders about the nitty gritty, how those details are garnered, or conclusions are drawn - I.E ask questions in a reasonable manner, and many people who fall into choices other than those I mentioned.
It sounds idiotic. It is not a shorthand to "climate change denial," as it is a phrase that does not need shortening. Removing "change" changes the phrase's context entirely, and makes ambiguous the part the person being called a "climate denier" is taking issue with - which, if I am not mistaken, is about CLIMATE CHANGE. You can't deny a climate. You can - whether foolishly or otherwise- deny climate change. It's not hard to keep that one 4-letter word in there, people! Jesus Christ!
You cannot yell fire in a crowded theatre or bomb on a crowded plane and expect to walk freely if no such condition exists.
*Or if one did not reasonably have a belief that something was wrong - people can be wrong and have good intention - but other than that, THANK YOU for ACTUALLY QUANTIFYING your statement - too many people just say "can't shout fire in a crowded theater," without the "if there is no fire" part - which changes the context of the statement completely.
"Free Speech" isn't just a governmental/legal concept. It is also a concept that applies to society's handling of ideas, and the flow of ideas on a societal level as well.
Why can't they put a hardware lock on GPU's which detects and prevents cryptocurrency mining,
Seems like it'd be potentially complicated overhead - how would it detect crypto mining, versus other heavy usage? Wouldn't that affect performance across the board, no matter what you are using the card for? And of course, why would they want to lock out particular uses of the card? (Which is just me pointing out a possible mindset, not agreeing with or disagreeing with it. - though it could be argued that the problem is not the usage alone, but the people buying up huge quantities - supply, purchasing, etc)
You know, there is increasing evidence that the 9-5, 8 hour work day is not exactly the most efficient (or healthy) in many fields - always exceptions, mind you, but I'd rather we work smarter, not harder. Plus, if we went down to a 6 hour work day, that'd be more time a day to be less stressed about life, and more time that would allow you to pursue more hobbies, and actually enjoy life.
will still bitch and moan, because they're too stupid to see that the adblocking is on the rise BECAUSE of their own inability to nderstand the importance of vetting ads, because of their insistance of continually increasing the resource usage, trackking of users, and continually choosing to up annoying-ness of ads... and I don't buy for one second that "oh, they make the ads more annoying because of adblock." Bullshit, ads were this bad well before adblock became popular. I remember browsing the internet in the early 2000s.
Well, even if it is legal, that doesn't mean not paying attention, and wearing black, is smart - there are careful, and careless ways to jaywalk. To imply that legality of jaywalking alleviates care is, IMO, rather foolish.
Or... maybe pedestrians shouldn't be wearing all black, and jaywalking at a snails pace, AND looking the opposite direction to traffic? Not to sound like a cold-hearted-shithead, but we need to get past this idea that pedestrians are infallible, and it's always the people driving who are the problem, as it's simply a bullshit dichotomy that society has picked up.
1 zettabyte = 1 trillion gigabytes. That's a lot of data in a small space. If they can make this thing practical, it would really help out in technology sectors that require storage of insanely large quantities of data (like, say, YouTube, to name on example)
... for the technologically illiterate politicians who, at the same time, are too goddammed unable, for some reason, to LISTEN to the EXPERTS who tell them that "responsible encryption," encryption with backdoors, is vulnerable, and not really secure at all. Christ allmighty, what is with the stream of idiots in U.S, U.K, and Australian politics who speak on the matter, and don't try to understand it?
Bitching and moaning from advertising companies, and media outlets that use outlets, and are too stupid, apparently, to see how their lack of vetting ads, the rise of malvertising, te increased annoyance of ads, pushed the increased use of ad block, and how actually combatting these problems, while no panacea outright, would help loads. And don't give me that "Oh, but they have to make ads annoying now that people are using adblock," not only does that feel like utter BS, ads were getting annoying BEFORE adblock became popular. I was browsing the internet in the early 2000s, and had to deal with the same sort of SHIT - popups, popunders, auto-playing media ads, etc - the number, and annoyance level have only gotten worse since then.
Eh, I personally like rugby better because of the continuous action - ball changes possession, or one team scores, the game goes on until the period is up - none of this stopping or starting bullshit, plus it just feels easier to understand because it feels like it is one game tat was kept simpler.
None of the complications of downs, and all those extraneous rules that I just have difficulty following.Easier to understand, for me, how the ball can or can't travel, how things like lineouts and rucks work is straight forward, and it feels like a game where everybody has to be deeply involved, and coordinated to succeed. (nothing against fans of American football of course, just personal preference). (and that's without mentioning things like the form used in the rugby tackle, vs what is commonly seen in American footbal, and how that has the potential to not outright eliminate the risk of injury by any means, but can seriously reduce the risk.

Eh... you know, you don't need to literally be watching through your phone in order to record with your phone, right? (Not saying I do it, practically impossible to do well at the sort of venues I go to - EDM/raves/etc, as the bass is just so, so strong! XD)
Um... who says you can't at least partially do both? Who says that your definition of enjoyment is the same as someone else's? How much of that is rooted in common ground, versus being subjective, though?
I HATE when someone, anyone, pompously imposes a sense of "experience" on anyone else - since, to some extent, what constitutes one experiencing it is relative to one's point of view... not to mention a very slight annoyance at an observation I make where those who chime in with this experince-superioity-complex as I call it often miss you don't need to literally have your face in your phone to not suck at recording
IMO the multitude of songs using the same chord progression, which is something that bugs the crap outta me about many pop songs, wouldn't be so god damned grating on my senses, at least, if they changed up the tempo, and the timing, how many bars each chord is played, etc... even those couple of simple steps make an overused progression sound a bit better, and a little fresher.
You're not suggesting that we make programs less efficient than possible because we have more resources, are you? IMO, while going nuts is not helpful, we shouldn't use resources inefficiently, or the like, "just because" we have the room - not only that, but not every programming project, career, involves software that has that sort of safety - embedded systems, for instance.

Or... maybe there should be ethical standards (or any existing ones should be enforced) - instead of putting it ALL on the user?

The TSA is not law enforcement though - which makes the "pig" label even less appropriate, interestingly.
FBI mouthpiece is a fucking idiot. Jesus Christ, why is listening to people who clearly know better than them so goddammed difficult?

It really took 35 years... 35 YEARS to figure out that it was physically impossible, and deemed invalid?
