A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

If you ever do decide to jump, I recommend PopOS. Based on Ubuntu, no snaps.

Chemistry. Cis-2-n-ene vs Trans-2-n-ene. First one is all carbons on the same side and the latter is carbons on opposite sides.

Parents are the best arbiter of children, except drag shows. Those the Government is best entity to dictate that, apparently.

I just can’t the double speak this group keeps defending.

The actual problem, binary labeling. If the category system is just "sexy" vs "non-sexy" you're going to piss off a ton of in-between. However, you want to do it, IDK. It can be sexy+1 to sexy+10 or mildly suggestive to NSFW. But Twitch needs to acknowledge there's a spectrum and ignoring that there is one is just going to piss people off.

Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated

— Elon Musk (Apr. 25, 2022 During the announcement Musk was buying Twitter)

I would think someone would point out the irony but I'm doubtful anyone could penetrate his fifteen astronomical unit thick ego. This man's money is the single reason anyone on this planet give him more than ten seconds of their lives.

Poor people aren't human and therefore don't deserve rights or help

Incorrect. Poor people are replaceable with other poor people and eventually with robots. The fact that poor people aren't doing anything today about any of this means that there will come a day where the 1% makes up around 50% of the still living global population.

When we invented the car, horses didn't go get better jobs we just started having fewer horses.

Capitalism does work in the voting with your wallet. However there's two things that tend to get in the way. Laziness and mergers. Either customers don't care and/or all your other opinions got bought out.

It was the absolute shamelessness with which that CEO disregarded safety, fired people who tried to make it safe, cut corners, lied to reporters about “partnering with Boeing” (they debunked it today), and on and on.

In unrelated news, Elon Musk looking for anyone wanting to go to Mars.

Chemist So that’s why there’s a difference between cis-but-2-ene and trans-but-2-ene.

Wait why am I being banned??

Also: Man is this that same Twitter place that banged the gong on free speech?

I'm not comfortable with Google and other megacorps being the arbiters of truth

Understood. There's a couple of aspects that I'll present solely from devil's advocate.

1. If they leave the information up they can be found liable for that information should someone decide to file suit. Do they not have a right to protect themselves from such suits?
2. Are they the sole arbiters of truth? In strictly this action, are they acting in a manner that a majority of people wouldn't already agree with?

I expect our government to not participate in censorship. But I think we muddle a line between "government" and "corporation" when we attempt to hold companies to the same standard as the Government. Perhaps we are already too far in that government and megacorps are just so intertwine that it's all the same, IDK. I think that's a bit of a deeper topic than I'm willing to get into at the moment.

So that aside. The video is looking for hosting on a private company's server. I wouldn't want the Government to say "NO YOU MUST SHOW THAT VIDEO!!" to Google. We have to remember that the "free society" thing is a two way street. So I rather not have censorship in general (thus I completely understand your lack of comfort) and I expect no censorship from my government. But for private everyday people and up to megacorps, I expect them to be free to do what they so wish (but I wish for an open discussion rather removal of videos, but removal of video I still would say is a tool in Google's tool chest, but they should use it last, not first. But it isn't my company so my opinion matters next to zero in that regard). But I completely understand where you derive your statement from. I completely respect that point of view, but I disagree with it somewhat.

But in all honesty, that is simply my unsolicited opinion on this matter.

As for RFK Jr. the guy has about as much understanding of science and medicine as a rusted fire-hydrant. The amount of seriousness that should be given to that man on any of those two topics is indistinguishable from the absolute value of zero. But again, that is just my unsolicited opinion on that particular guy.

• P2P is the new hotness
• LAMP is the new hotness
• Ruby on Rails is the new hotness
• Big data is the new hotness
• Machine Learning is the new hotness
• Crypto is the new hotness
• AI is the net hotness

None of these died, none of them were the new hotness for very long. Oh by the by, our company is looking for anyone with fifteen years experience in ChatGPT (/s). But in all serious, there's always a very vocal group that's chasing the hype. No idea how big they truly are, but they sure do bang the gong the entire time.
