Comment Re:Typical MAGA thinking... (Score 1) 78

Their whole ethical system is built around the idea of a natural order and actor (rather than action) based morality. This person acted above their station and did things that people of their place in the world are not supposed to do. In a way, he stole from trump and his community by taking their natural right for their own.

I regret to inform you that you have woefully underestimated it. The actual retail rate offered to consumers is closer to $2200 US per gallon. Sources: internet-ink.com, cbc.ca. This $14 million fine is only worth like, seven thousand gallons, or less than 200 oil barrels of ink.

And related to Authors and others, yea they got robbed, but when it comes to LLM generated material not sure how it gets stopped now.

That's not an argument.

"Yeah, that guy is dead now. We have a pretty solid idea who did it. But not sure if that'll make him alive again, so let's not bother with catching them."

Nonsense. Nobody is "forced" to incorporate GPL code into their project.

I may want to use the code modified and not share my modifications. The GPL prevents this.

Aside from the corner case of libraries incrementing proposed standards I think this is a plus, but it certainly is a restriction that a copy left license has and a BSD/MIT one doesn't.

While Paramount claims they cancelled Colbert as a cost cutting move, that makes no sense since other late night shows on other networks with smaller audiences continue. They must make some sort of financial sense.

It is widely understood, though not provable, that the move was a bribe to Trump in order to get the merger approved. Trump has had a longstanding dislike of Colbert because of his commentary on Trump as a person and as the President.

When is a hard question. Rationally it should never have blown up this much in the first place (some expansion would be rational, but not like we've seen). Clearly the minds driving this are not rational.

Insanity is notoriously hard to predict. That's why short selling is so risky. The market can clearly remain irrational longer than most people can remain solvent when betting against it.

It is way too late for people to be interested in using FB as it was meant to be, but if it helps: https://www.facebook.com/?filt...

This is a link to what you get from the "hamburger" menu > Feeds. There are several tabs there, showing the posts in chronological order (All, Favorites, Friends, Groups, Pages).
The Groups are the main appeal for me, especially because most of my IRL friends don't post. While I think Groups are inferior to other online forums (moderation is very poor) they certainly have more people than most other websites.

Why is that desirable?

Because the cost to society is paid not by the smokers but by all of us. And health care costs are only the tip of the iceberg.

Cull the least smart and self-restrained.

There's no culling here. Both doom scrolling and smoking kill you so slowly that evolutionary it doesn't matter.
