Why are you saying unbounded when the discussion is about court proceedings and convictions? There is a clear and consistent boundary here, no one is asking for search logs and round the clock surveillance.

people in palestine have been tweeting, posting to ig and tik tok throughout the entire conflict

It says the dataset is 'colleague's households' which might be different from all of gaza.
Biden and Obama appointees ruling against the admin, probably to be overturned by republican nominated judges. Have judges gotten more partisan recently or has it always been like this.

Hopefully some people at least get money for food in the mean time.

The taliban didn't prevent the usa from doing anything we left because we were tired of spending money.
Hamas doesn't have an air force, how could they prevent the idf from doing anything.

It was wrong to fight to end the holocaust because nazis were starving? How is war supposed to work in your mind.
You are right, public health officials instead of cdc would be the better way to phrase it.
That does sound super interesting.He probably had a real fun time doing science in the 70s.
Yeah x is a mess. When scientists say it's nice to just post about science on bluesky without being called slurs or harassed, I believe them.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-023-01537-5. One study says the endorsement had little effect on voting intention but damaged credibility and perception of scientists.
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/04/public-hea... I supported blm and still do. The CDC should have stayed out of it.
I feel like scientists should be explaining to us how the world is, and then other people should use those explanations to try and improve it.

Right now I feel like there are a scientists who would hide or discard results if they contradicted their advocacy beliefs,which is a dangerous place to be imo.

I mean things like nature starting to make endorsements for president. Overly political for no reason.
It is 100% allowed, I just don't think it's really helpful or beneficial for them or society

Especially when they try to lean on their status as scientists in order to try and have their opinions be more influential.

The cdc for example saying it's ok to disregard their previous guidance in order to protest for black lives matter is one of these credibility damaging moments that is hard to undo.

It would be nice if scientists started being just scientists again instead of activists. Hopefully being cloistered on bluesky will bring the old vibes back

Probably since about early 1990s. Maybe I should say civic nationalism instead of multiculturalism but I think most liberals would reject the idea that ethnicity or heritage were important in determining nationality.

This is a big conflict in modern liberalism and democracy. If the british people vote for an ethnostate what are we supposed to do. subvert multicultural ideas? or subvert democracy?
Re: on Thursday September 25, 2025 @11:33AM (#45374035)
One of the core tenets of liberalism is that multi cultural societies and nations are just as good as mono cultural ones. what are you trying to imply here with the africa and middle eastern examples
Kinda bullish for azure that the idf chose it over aws
How do the nazis qualify as not prejudiced?

Wildest part of this paradigm is that 'They' is also software engineers.
Re:Why am I still on Twitter? on Monday April 14, 2025 @08:52AM (#43680748)
I have noticed that many people that I followed who announced departures have quietly come back and started tweeting again.
Re:A16Z to Hire Daniel Penny on Tuesday February 04, 2025 @08:53PM (#42942500)
I'm glad he stepped in and prevented the assault of a woman and her child. He made a mistake and should have let go earlier, but mistakes happen in the heat of charged situations. The cowards are the people who let a man with multiple assaults on women free into society.
Re:A16Z to Hire Daniel Penny on Tuesday February 04, 2025 @08:24PM (#42942200)
I am glad that he is landing on his feet after those reckless prosecutors tried to ruin his life.
Re:One engineer said "retarded" in a meeting. I just fired him on Saturday February 01, 2025 @09:54AM (#42898749)
1) I don't believe that this happened, people lie/embellish stories on the internet all the time.

2) I believe people have the right to free association. I wouldn't fire someone for saying retarded, but people like forever_wario have the right to live their values.

3) Using politically controversial language in white collar working places that are traditionally woke or woke leaning is asking for trouble.

This kinda does support the 'DeepSeek is the side project of a bunch of quants' angle.

Seems like the kind of mistake you would make if you are not used to deploying external client facing applications.

Professors, judges, lawyers, journalists, politicians, tech moderators, probably anything in the arts or education. On reddit and bluesky you can get banned for having the median voter's opinion on gender norms and immigration.
Re:President Biden pardons his son Hunter Biden on Sunday December 01, 2024 @08:00PM (#42292068)
Watershed moment. As Biden voter I am extremely disappointed. As a Trump supporter in 2024 I will also be extremely disappointed when he inevitably pardons the January 6ers. Bad times for the republic.
