We don’t know why someone hit Metcalf and that was over a decade ago.

Reposting a comment from a few months ago:

Was just worrying if we were due for one of these:

Over the course of 19 minutes, about one hundred bullets caused $15 million dollars in damage to our power grid, damaging components that take months to manufacture: 2013’s Metcalf sniper attack near San Jose, California

If terrorists were testing our response time or something, they would’ve acted on a large scale by now right? I kinda need to always be able to charge my PC/phone soooo

Probably the least political offer I’ve ever read

Neither politics nor candidates come anywhere close to mind

In fact, the “air” in the name derived from the Latin “airres”, for “cleaning fee”.

How long have you been following the law?

OK.

How about you, how long have you been following the law?

Level set: ads suck

Least they can do is to serve adfree videos

Now, corporations are greedy right?

Genuine question: What does Greedy Google do if we all install adblock on all our neighbors’ computers tonight?

I imagine something like “I do not consent to a search nor seizure of any of my property. May I reach into my pocket so I may place my phone in plain view? If my property is going to be seized even against my will, I still want to ensure everyone’s safety.”

Then repeat the no consent line as you place your phone on your dashboard or whatever.

I imagine this means your lawyer will have body cam footage of the double nonconsent and the judge will see you were willing to comply even with potentially unlawful orders so the justice system could sort it out in court instead of someone trying to fight it out on the street.

iPhone tip to require password to open:

• Hit lock five times

or

• Hold lock & at least one volume button

(Edit: ahh, this tip’s been given several times now, only new info is that either volume down or volume up or both will work)

I checked and murder is wrong but it’s very wrong so you can murder someone who committed murder because then murder isn’t wrong because you’re wronging in the right way against a wronger

Introducing…

Oh, the year is 2100 and YouTube only plays on dedicated Alphabet-produced hardware (available “free” of course) with cam-proof screens? Storytelling will come back in style with a vengeance overnight!

…and then, with the passion of a man whose next meal depends on it, he pleads:

”like and subscribe.”

OK kids good night!

You can fool some of the people some of the time… right? :)

I’d expect nothing less than executives at a number of the Fortune 50 to be ruthlessly cutthroat, including when it comes to vetting the claims of their marketing teams.

(I know I’m speaking about studies I only assume to exist by the way, will have to research it later)

always be detectable

Maybe with some content ID system… but you’ve just predicted their 2025 update which we might imagine would go something like this:

Do we unintentionally use products we didn’t realize repetitively messaged us?

We’ll never know…

Just kidding, we can be sure it’s incredibly well studied given the billions and billions of dollars going into ads!

Interesting thing here:

YouTube’s top 3% of channels now attract 90% of total views, up from 67% in 2006. Even among those elite channels, average annual ad revenue is only $16,800 - less than a third of U.S. median household income. For the remaining 97% of YouTubers, reaching even that modest income level is nearly impossible given the platform’s increasingly skewed viewership distribution.

they would have had to release him

Maybe we could say he wouldn’t be in this situation because he could’ve responded to every request his company got and they could’ve provided all of the zero logs they had.

I believe Telegram just wasn’t cooperating at all which is wild! Such a Musk thing to do.

How much does it say these beans cost?

How does CamelCamelCamel display a price history if the price is different for everyone? Perhaps it’s inaccurate for some (Just hasn’t been for me the handful of times I’ve “had“ to use Amazon.)

And Amazon doesn’t price discriminate if they put something on a nationwide sale? So the bloggers can advertise that AirPods are at their lowest price ever?

I wonder how much investment it drives in Facebook to be a user who registered under an assumed name on a VPN with an ad blocker enabled.

Unfortunately, probably some.

The invincible ham of the free market will sort itself out

Don’t believe we disagree

at one point

Stopwatch estimate - that one point was at most 2.75 seconds before the first shot was fired.

Guns (violent use thereof)/violence suck, feel like you would need a lifetime of training to ignore the adrenaline that had built three seconds earlier and be able to say to yourself “OK, I was being chased with a knife just now but upon turning my head I was no longer being chased so back to verbal negotiations“.

[not defending anybody but-]

If I studied for a quiz with the question:

“what’s gonna happen if you chase a cop with a knife but then stop chasing him?“

…and the study material were copies of every police training manual in the world… and every single training manual said:

”you will lose your job and go to jail if you shoot guys with knives if they stop chasing you“

…I would answer the question “you’re gonna get shot” :)

Poor bystanders :(
