Comment Re:How about paying what the job is worth? (Score 0) 429

Women do add a risk, because they may be out due to pregnancy. More generally speaking, men and women are differentiated by a variety of factors. By virtue of being different men or women may be more suitable on average for certain jobs. The idea that men and women are interchangeable is ideological, not scientific.

Comment Just like everything these days (Score 0) 471

Its being framed as either the man or woman wronging the other, where in reality it was the airline wronging both of them. The airline has created a situation where they can't both be reasonably comfortable. Its like if a landlord rented 2 houses with only 1 tiny bathroom between them, and the tenents began arguing with *eachother* about their right to bathroom access.

Comment Missinformation (Score 0) 155

I think that word doesn't mean what you think it means. Considering alternative explanations, and questioning the government is not "misinformation". This type of shit should be no surprise, if you try to censor people, they will actively work around it. The answer to vaccine skepticism is solid data, and direct address of concerns. Have you seen the CDC's infographs? They look like they were designed for a fucking 5 year old. The vaccine contains harmless particles.. bla bla bla. Oversimplified statements which can easily be show to be false using the goverments own published statistics. The many anti-vax presentations on the other hand show a lot of data, charts, citations etc. That doesn't mean they're correct, but at face value which would you believe? Pro covid vax articles need to start actually discussing the science, this is a good example: https://blogs.sciencemag.org/p...

Comment I like the idea but.. (Score 0) 70

I think it's a great idea to pay for a search engine, they're powerful tools which are worth money, and this removes the perverse incentives present on "you are the product" search engines. That being said, if I'm going to pay for ..lets be honest, probably worse results than google, then I want some hardcore privacy protection. I want to see no-log guarantees with audits, anonymization steps between payment and user activity, etc etc. The days of "we won't do anything bad with your data, trust us" are over.

Comment Re: Common side effect (Score 0) 176

That depends on your age. The rate of myocarditis very well may be higher than coronavirus complications in teenagers. You have to look at the actual studies because all the "jist" type sources are heavily censored. Personally, I think the rate of myocarditis may be under reported. My mom definitely had it. She was diagnosed with it literally right after her second shot (this was months ago before the side effect was known), and Im fairly certain nobody has reported it since the doctors stance was "we have no idea what could have caused it" despite the fact that it was right after the vaccine.

Comment They already have physical access... (Score 0) 20

This is dumb. Almost any machine on earth is vulnerable to someone with physical access. Hell you could just place a separate camera in the room. I do hate how modern products often include unnecessary and privacy invading sensors, but that's mostly because of what the manufacturers do with them *intentionally*.
