You have made two claims directly, and asserted their equivalence for a third claim.

People have not seen the Emma Watson porn, and those that have can probably read the word deepfake in the title. My guess is between 5% and 20% of the people who have seen it, and found it through searching for Emma Watson, rather than Emma Watson Deepfake believe that they have seen actual Emma Watson in porn.

But ultimately, you said that you didn't believe that it was irresponsible to assert that deepfakes will society more skeptical of video. That is your claim. I pose that deepfakes can easily be used to produce videos which are closer to what their audiences expect than reality, and as a result they will likely be less suspicious of what they see.
Entirely fair. The court needs to rule based on what's in the law, not what's fair (unless it's clearly unconstitutional). Fair is the responsibility of legislators.
hey thanks for answering! You're one of the main skia contributor right?

I thought GrGlCaps was supposed to fallback most of the time to equivalents. Also thought that golden images baseline where pixel tested against a large set of different hardware.

But yeah, Skia blacklists MSAA for Intel GPU, so if you opt-in for sampling, you're not guaranted it's going to be enabled and therefore observe differences
A bit frustratingly, they mean "geologically instanteously" which is not the same as "instaneous as per human perception".

I'm not sure how long rock takes to cool after an asteroid impact, maybe days, maybe months or years depending on how large of an impact and how cold the surroundings (no atmosphere soooo....)

> Why is it the US's fault that they consider tech to be valuable to their economy and national security and we don't?

USA has created monstrous monopolies that are very heavily subsidized by the government. Amazon, Apple, etc. do not pay taxes and yet get big sums of money to settle in cities.

That is the money that USA is using to buy European companies. China blocked the USA from buying their tech, and the result is a healthy ever growing tech scene.

I have worked for a couple of European tech companies purchased by USA corporations. First "nothing will change" is the message, two years later the reduction in quality is clear and all the tech is siphoned to the USA side of the business. It makes sense, it is good for the USA.

Europe should follow the Chinese example and ban most of USA tech. No more Facebook radicalizing our citizens, no more Amazon taking over all business without control, ... When TikTok started to grow, the USA banned it. That is the game. Europe should follow, ban Facebook, Twitter, ... let local talent grow. There is much wasted talent in Europe overwhelmed by the current position of USA companies.

"Just don't sell" does not work when your adversary puts all the weight of the state to protect and subsidize their tech industry.

Generally it's crushed and a percentage of the final mix uses the recycled crushed asphalt. The quality of the asphalt is lower with higher amounts of recycled materials so high traffic roadways like highways may use 30% recycled asphalt. While lower traffic roadways or things like bicycle paths can use a higher percentage with new binder in the mix.

> a problem with how you personalize the actions of others in the past that you view as part of your identity group as opposed to an attempt to blame you personally.

I can accept what happened, from the historical record, while denying that it needs to have massive historical relevance to current events, or that it implies any requirement of action. I can accept what happened without accepting that it is okay for it to be used as a method of attacking my identity group, none of the living population of which have committed such acts.

The fact that the deaths of these people will be brought up for hundreds of years with no path to redemption on the part of my identity group is a problem. What I take from this is that there is to be no "burying the hatchet", so to speak; that my children will also be blamed for this with the same severity that I am, as will my grandchildren, as will people in the year 2300.

It will NEVER stop being a bone of contention as long as it continues to have narrative power to attack my group; it will never stop having this power until it is simply denied its power and shrugged off as the actions of another century.

> If I quote John A Macdonald saying ".. refusing food until the Indians are on the verge of starvation to reduce the expense" and then quote Mackenzie's response that he's not starving them enough - how is that offensive to you personally?

It is offensive to me personally because quotes like this are not part of the mere study of history, but are brought up specifically to be used as a justification to literally behead the statues of the founders of my country. These statues, like all public art and memorials, are supposed to stand as historical artifacts and truths regardless of the actions these people committed. This justification to tear down statues in turn becomes one of the many steps on the road towards overthrowing my country and my culture entirely. One look at what is happening in the USA today is all it should take to make it clear that this is just the means to an end: once every statue is removed it will be on to the museums, and they're already working on the textbooks.

> Let's all be on the team of justice and fairness

As long as the old-stock, historical Canadian nation gets a seat at the table and gets to be represented for what it is, that's fine; I want justice as much as the next person. In fact, I am of the belief that we've got just about the best justice system in the world here, and I only want to see it improve. It is clear to me that for this to work, the improvement needs to come in a form that doesn't demonize White Canadians as genocidal people, or as inheriting the sin of genocide, as though we came across the nation and murdered everyone we saw with impunity. Such a thing could not be further from the truth.

District heating exists in the Netherlands as well. Even though it might be more efficient it usually is crazy expensive. I paid more for heating and hot water in my 90m2 apartment in Utrecht with two of us where we almost never were at home than for our 150m2 house with two extra kids and being at home often.
Not really. Super-spreader events outside are essentially unheard of - both the sunlight & plentiful air make transmission much harder.

Don't get up-close with crowds of strangers, sure, but growing evidence suggests 6' outdoors is safer than 20'-plus in any enclosed, recirculating-air indoors.

Now, if you go outside in order to enter some other indoors, with people who may be infected, you're creating risks.

The way you frame this makes it seem like a road tax is in our future. That, in turn, makes me more skeptical about this study, the funds for which were granted by the EPA. I’m not really insinuating the EPA is after your tax dollars, but the fact that a government agency funds a study that can have tax implications should at least raise an eyebrow. I don‘t know how common this is.

The problem I have with this is that the gas tax was [Edit: this is apparently not true, as was pointed out below] created because exhaust fumes were damaging the environment and reducing air quality - and I agree with that. But now that we have made significant strides towards reducing emissions - both in the way of more efficient vehicles and battery-operated vehicles - causing a decrease in gas tax dollars flowing in, suddenly we have another source of emissions which would require another tax.

I can’t help but feel that at least on some level this will be a money grab - even if the underlying study is confirmed long-term.
Recycling asphalt takes mostly heat. You lose some of it on the process, so you must add some new asphalt, and the new asphalt doesn't have the same composition of the original one (but is still asphalt, or asphalt components).
This makes sense that ADHD could be a result from physical inactivity. Add the fact that most kids stare at a screen after school while also sitting. This could explain the increases in ADHD. Anxiety is a learned trait I believe. Increased depression seems to me to be due to social media, which allows people to constantly compare their life with others
I’m more ashamed of the legislature that allows this to happen. There’s no reason an employer should not have the pay the minute they expect something of the employee, assuming it’s a position paid per unit of time.
Again, if Google can afford to hand a ninety million dollar bonus to a supervisor who they fire for sexually assaulting a subordinate, they can certainly afford to live up to the job offers they make to the little people.

Apple paying people for all the time they are required to be present for their shift is certainly what's right, even in districts where doing so has not yet been legally mandated, correct?

Yes, it's posture for the populace. The moment the West invaded Iraq and Afghanistan we lost all moral high ground to make a judgement about what people are allowed to do beyond the geographic area they control. Especially since that murder execution style on Osama Bin Laden.

The Whole West World is compromised because none of our institutions prevented this nor were the guilty war criminals prosecuted.
Yes, to give a bit more info, this is an anthropology book. You will learn about incredible customs from various societies around the world and history. It also often touches on feminism because the main topic of the book (debt) and the situation of women are often tightly linked.
I've been thinking about this topic a lot lately. It seems to me that the nefarious ways in which modern media operates are responsible for a large portion of the problems we see in the world today.

That's because the world in general is doing better than ever in almost any measurable parameter, yet the general notion is that everything is going to shit. This has real world consequences such as violent riots, couples deciding not to bring a child into "this terrible world", depression etc.

The mere choice of what is news worthy and how much coverage any one item gets already warps the mind's heuristics about how often this type of event occurs and thus how important it is. Add to that the "artistic licence" that reporters take (maliciously or otherwise) and the situation becomes really dire.

The reason for this problem is that society has decided that news should be a form of entertainment, and news outlets are for-profit companies. Considering these incentives the current state seems inevitable.

This has also led me to think of hypothetical solutions. I would argue that "The News" should be a non-profit, state funded entity (or entities). However, these must very much not be state controlled but rather allowed to operate independently. A similar institution is the Judicial System, which doesn't need to worry about clickbaiting titles for its rulings in order to fund itself, yet it has, ideally, full autonomy to procecute people in power if the need arises and we (society) take any attempt of collusion between state and court to be unacceptable.

Similarly, an independent yet tax funded news agency can deliver boring, unentertaining news and facts to help save us from ourselves.

One of my favorite quotes in this vein is "We are eating bait and moving on to jellyfish and plankton", referring to overfishing and climate change changing Americans' seafood diet. From http://articles.latimes.com/2006/jul/30/local/la-me-ocean30j....

Of course, many cultures have always eaten and enjoyed jellyfish, but that's beside the point. The ethnocentrism is what sells it to the conservative American audience.[1] ;)

> It is generally recognized as safe

There are no safe drugs for a patient admitted to intensive care. We should not start administering anything in large scale just because most healthy people can tolerate it well.
> "All of the guidelines are about statistical safety..."

this bit is correct, but the rest is falling for false equivalency by throwing around the same "helps" with every case.

just being outside is overwhelmingly helpful, meaning it overwhelms every other factor by a large margin. relative to that, wearing a mask outside is of such negligible help to be effectively unhelpful. distance also overwhelms masks, both indoors and outdoors. distance outside helps only a little bit, but distance inside helps materially (because the positional and velocity vectors available to droplets and their virii and the dangers to them outside are exponentially greater). masks by themselves indoors are helpful only in limited situations (when in the direct exhaust of others for prolonged periods).

> "...do not drop your chances to zero"

for real-world situations, boolean evaluations like this are nearly always misleading, no matter in which direction. your chances of dying in a bathtub aren't zero either but we don't worry about it. relative magnitudes matter.

I've definitely seen gas boiler/heater in city center apartment, Olomouc, Czech Republic.

I am from Ukraine. While in theory district heating is awesome there are some problems in implementation:

* every summer there is a three weeks period without hot water, a lot of people have electric boiler as backup, it is even bigger than gas boiler

* no hot water in off peak time on upper floors of old buildings, have to flush some away, fixed with loop in new buildings

* old buildings vertical heating pipes makes it impossible to bill apartment, no incentives for heat insulation (wall and windows) or reducing temperature, 25°C in winter is a norm, fixed with per apartment pipes in new buildings

* a lot of heat escapes pipes, melted snow patches in winter

* fixing broken pipe is messy, change of the pipes even worse, seen both

* requires high level of participation - at least some small towns have no district water for 20 years, some even without district heating

* modern gas boilers are 90+% efficient [1]

Some new buildings have heating plants, looks like a better idea. But heating is a big part of CO₂ emissions, stored hydrogen heating plant is a future. Even better if it is a power plant too.

Are you sure you just aren't getting colds because of better hygiene, and less contact with others? Without controlling for social distancing, you can't reasonably conclude that it was the vitamin D.

I haven't had a cold since we initially locked-down in April, which is very unusual for me, but completely explained by social distancing.
I think the best approach is to read a story from a left, right and centrist source. The intersection of "facts" is probably all true and the things that point far one direction or the other are probably in the middle somewhere.
I've used Inferno on a couple of projects. It is faster, but the difference with Svelte is negligible in real world usage. Even in scenarios that really push the perf (eg: realtime visualizations) Svelte works beautifully.

The big point you're missing in your analysis is that in a real world app Inferno or Preact won't be sufficient to do your job. For example will you probably add other packages to manage state (eg: MobX) or do transitions. Maybe little utilities like classnames[1]? Svelte already includes all those by default.

I will agree there is a sweet spot around 150-200kB where you could get away with Inferno/Preact/etc without code splitting and the Svelte bundle would be higher.

In practice you're not very likely to hit the inflection point of Svelte. For bigger projects you'd be using code splitting anyway, with any framework (unless you're some kind of savage).

> Both of these allow you to use the numerous React libraries out there.

It's true the Svelte ecosystem is small, but that advantage depends a lot on what you're building.

It would certainly be risky to use Svelte for an enterprise app, which tend to be more generic. OTOH if you have custom requirements all those react libraries are pretty much useless.

Also, if this argument had any real weight for dismissing Svelte entirely we'd still be using jQuery. Today the Svelte ecosystem looks very much like the React ecosystem when I started using it 5 years ago and look where we are now. React was experimental back then and now its become the choice for enterprise.
