Thank you.

Many things are not great, but also not retarded, something that can do with reminders.

Is there an editor around?

"The fascist subtext of Attack on Titan can’t go overlooked"

"The modern manga and anime industries would not exist without Attack on Titan."

Key satement: ""Only a handful of [companies] were told that this private testing was available"

The creator of model X weren't prevented from doing so, but thought it would look bad to submit 20 different variants of their model at the same time. Like submitting Deepseek-v3-0324-1, Deepseek-v3-0324-2, Deepseek-v3-0324-3, Deepseek-v3-0324-4, etc. So they only submitted major revisions.

The creator of model Y were told that they could submit a mass of slightly tweaked models, and just hide all the poorly performing ones. So that's what they did.

The reason the arbitrator forced her to be silent, is that she got fired then signed an agreement to not say anything in return for a pile of cash.

She probably wouldn't go to jail if she broke the private agreement, but she might have to pay back what she got.

Complaining about free speech being violated is good and important, but not if you've taken money to not say anything first.

Yes, increasing government surveillance is simply a natural fact of life, what governments do by definition.

Nothing to really care about, nothing to ask questions about - why would you when it's a given, something that can't really be changed?

If you react negatively to surveillance by governments, then you are simply trying to combat the very concept of governments, and how does that make sense?

Better to spend your time caring about other things, than an immutable law of nature that you can't affect either way.

Nothing you say or do will make a difference, so why even complain about it?

So you failed to understand either my comment or the implications of increasing government control?

There isn't any overall move towards privacy in China. In fact, China is steadily increasing government surveillance to the point of most of your life being scored: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

As pointed out, limiting private sector power helps the government get away with even more control and surveillance. This is a simple concept that should not have been misunderstood.

If you want to find the people who would have bent over for the DDR, look to Slashdot.

Whether you dislike Trump or the Democrats, I hope whatever you dislike most starts to control you even further.

Just like the GDPR in Europe - this will primarily be something that limits private actors, not the government.

The government can process private information by simply making a law about something, like giving a task to a ministry. GDPR article 6 - "processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;"

The hurdle is incredibly much higher for private companies.

Looks like China is going down the same route. Here comes daddy Government to watch over you and "protect" you from your enemies trying to take advantage of you in the private sector.

The quality of news and discussion is evident in that neither news reports nor anyone so far has brought up whether they actually were filtering to an N95 standard.

The sole point of complaint is that it was not submitted for certification.

Did it filter to an N95 standard?
Did it filter BETTER than an N95 standard?
Did it filter worse than an N95 standard?

Who knows? Who cares?
(certainly, nobody here and nobody in the media).

Which is a complete and deceitful retconning of what was quoted in the summary above, which is an accusation that James T Kirk motivation was that he "wanted to see whose ship is bigger":

" these are still two guys trying to see whose ship is bigger.""

Amongst all the features of the woke, the fundamental and chronic dishonesty is one of the characteristics most removing them from humanity.

A sudden, massive drop in airline revenue can reasonably be expected to be responded to with capacity cuts in a state of competition.

That these capacity cuts can take time to recover after a new, sudden massive jump in revenue, is also true in a state of competition.

You're an obscurantist - using deliberately vague, obscure language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... "(2) deliberate obscurity—a recondite literary or artistic style, characterized by deliberate vagueness."

Don't spoil the conspiracy theorist circle, we're onto our favorite topic: corporations

No, the one consistent with the facts:

“Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course."

"will become totally dependent" means he was perfectly aware of other energy sources at the moment. To believe in him a belief that all other sources would become 0, instead of simply reduced very heavily, is an accusation without backing.

Again: How does it feel to be so mentally dominated by Trump that he is making you contort your mind into the most desperate and absurd positions just to deny what he says? Like a toy that twists and stretches itself, jerking into inhuman shapes by his presence?

Absolutely dependent =! Exclusively dependent

You're a liar.
