And my comment. In a private window I can see that he replied to my comment as well, despite the fact that I blocked him, so blocks are still not working properly apparently.
I'm not expecting perfection, but there hasn't even been visible commitment to a strong moderation policy. ernst has as far as I can tell remained mostly silent on the matter, occasionally deflecting to "tools aren't ready yet", but also not really committing to what he wants to be done with the tools.
10A is a particularly prolific problematic user, and as a single user (unlike the flood of porn spam) it's a simple matter to ban him. It should not have been a hard decision to make by now.
Personally, a bit over a month ago, I defined banning 10A (as well as one other individual) as the canary that would let me consider recommending other people come here. I was willing to give it some time, but it hasn't happened yet. Whether this is an explicit policy of weak moderation, or simply an accidental one thanks to putting it at too low a priority, I don't know. But I don't particularly want to be on a site that I don't feel comfortable recommending other people use. So I'm taking my own (lack of) recommendation for now and going to take a long break from this site.
Ugh, and 10A somehow also hasn't been banned yet (and a quick check to his profile shows that he isn't just still making bad-faith arguments about "free speech" but is also still spreading xenophobia, fake news about the last election, and so on).
I'm out. Anyone know of a kbin (not lemmy) instance with reasonably good moderation?
Republicans have traditionally been the party of "regulation doesn't work, elect me and I can prove it to you".
Maybe Musk is just taking the logical counter-part to this "regulation doesn't work, put me in charge of a heavily regulated company and I can prove it to you".
Surely the government is allowed to teach what courses are run in government run schools by government employees in general. I mean, someone has to, and who else would it be?
Or if you're referring to the religion aspect of the first amendment... this seems religiously neutral?
The constitution doesn't ban bad governance, just some particularly easy to enumerate forms of it.
Trying to grant fetuses rights isn't "supporting pregnancies", the line to restricting what pregnant people can do, including abortions, is direct and obvious. The fact that the sponsors of the bills have previously passed bills attempting to restrict abortion is a fact.
Supporting pregnancies would be doing things like passing more healthcare funding, better parental leave, literally just giving money to people with kids. That's not what this bill was about.
@candyman337 I'm glad to know I'm not totally insane in thinking that a heat pump is a good idea here :)
It doesn't seem obvious to me that it should need to be slower, or that heat-pump needs to be synonymous with ventless. Venting hot moist air to the outside should still make sense...
Just wanted to chime in that I had the same experience. I was rather unsatisfied with the fact that a user I blocked could apparently see (while logged in) and reply to my comment at all.
If blocking someone is just license for them to make terrible replies to my comments without giving me the chance to answer them... that's unsatisfying.
The word "potentially" is doing a lot of work there.
In many cases of piracy, the result of not pirating the work would not have been more income for the rights holder, it would have been the person just not acquiring a copy of the work at all.
Yeah, I don't know what Colorado's laws are on this in general, but even if it's technically legal it seems like a huge risk that someone is going to plausibly allege that given the specific facts denying them time off was race/religion/family status/... discrimination. It might be legal (don't know), but it's a stupid policy for a number of reasons.
@deegeese There is a rather large difference between "not pushing things on them unprompted" and "disallowing them from having things they're asking for". 1 year olds in particular aren't asking for any specific kinds of toys.
There is also a rather large difference between advocating for changing something as a society, and doing something just to your own kids that will make them different from other kids.
The entire paper is already sub-field (AI) in industry (software engineering) specific. No stats are perfect, but I think these ones are pretty damn good for something where peoples role are pretty poorly determined in the first place. Of course you're welcome to try and find better ones.
The "pure tech" companies I've worked at have been roughly equivalent or better than these stats, but at that point I'm sampling from software engineers in general (not having worked at an AI specific company), and my sample is unlikely to be unbiased anyways.

On what basis would it?

The funny thing about religious fundamentalists is their beliefs frequently outright contradict the written word of their religion...

Olive oil?
You wouldn't live long, but compared to the other options you're listing...

Wtf.
Also wtf that murder has a maximum of 3 years?

Did you know that Pepsi briefly owned 17 submarines, a cruiser, a frigate, and a destroyer?
Edit: On less of a technicality, the East India Company had something like 250k troops back in 1824.

Isn't the fact that he's repulsive sort of the whole complaint?
Eh, the gender imbalance is bad, but not 0/12 bad... here are some stats
