If we can start with the concept of trademarks being valid - they protect people as much as the company, it then comes down to whether a given product would mislead the typical consumer. If you run a nightclub called "M-C Donald's" then nobody is going to think it's a crappy burger joint. on the other hand if you use similar colors and/or font that mcdonalds an impartial person might think you're trying to trade on Ronald's name and mislead your public.

On the other hand if oyu run a hair salon called "British Hairways" with similar colors to the airline [0], I don't think a reasonable person would link the two.

There are of course going to be edge cases where people disagree. If you're making a red coffee cup that should be fine. If you're making it red with a swirly "Coffee" font which looks similar to the swirly Cocacola font that's probably not.

I'm convinced the many highly-ranked Cool Hacks channels abuse the content reporting system to remove any videos that will get in the way of their adsense cash, especially ones that tell you not to try their Cool Hack. Spamming abuse reports is common on any platform and even if Youtube were to review every reported video manually (which they don't have time or resources for), the video would still be down for ages for being "under review". If it comes back up, the reporters would just try another category and the cycle repeats. You can't ignore mass-reported videos until review either.

I think this is a design flaw in the whole concept of social media and the only solution seems to be to seriously cut down on the amount of content being uploaded. Not exactly a profitable or popular idea, but there's no feasible way to do any useful content moderation for this many users without employing a small province or country just to review reports.

I like fake meats though, because I liked real meat when I ate it and I'm nostalgic for the experience. I like eating 'brats' with my family at cookouts because it is part of the tradition, and chick'n nuggets are significantly less trouble to prepare than chunks of firm tofu.

Don't assume everyone is a vegetarian or vegan for the same reasons.

Also falafel is awesome and I wish there were more fast-food falafel joints in the world.

I don't think we would ever legalize cigarettes and alcohol if they weren't already widespread. You cited the numbers yourself, it would be a terrible decision. But lots of people are already using these substances, and we've seen how well it works to make alcohol illegal...
The reason cigs/alcohol are legal has nothing to do with their addictiveness or the harm they do, so a comparison with them.

The anti-legalization thought is simply: Cigarettes and alcohol are already bad enough, let's not add a third substance!

(Note: Personally, I actually support weed legalisation, because it eliminates black markets and other problems that illegality brings. But that's a whole other, more nuanced argument. See the frontpage thread about steelmanning...)
That sounds interesting, do you happen to know how one could find this documentary?
Regarding prime lenses: If you are unable to take good pictures with a zoom pense you clearly have bad technique. And the only true way if taking pictures is on film, it forces to think about composition and exposure. Unless you are into wildlife and birds, there of course anything below a pro-DSLR, or maybe, maybe a pro mirroless action body and 600 mm OEM prime lenses, on a carbon fibre tripod, is clearly not enough.

On a serious note, as long as you like your pictures everything is good. If you make living selling your pics all is good as long as your clients are happy. And nobody cares about the gear used in taking a particular picture, or cooking a meal. No idea why we cannot simply enjoy common hobbies.

All that are reasons I stay away from forums and social media on my hobbies. With the sole exception of a very helpfull forum on the particular brand of my classic car, I need my technical advice from somewhere.

I’m speculating here, but I suspect a significant factor in her video’s removal was the part where she displayed a rough hand-drawn diagram of the assembly a fractal wood burning kit. She deliberately left out a lot of detail, but perhaps it was still too much for YouTube’s content moderation team.
Yeah I don't disagree with the article, but at the same time I can't shake that vibe that the author is also guilty of precisely the same crime they're finger-wagging about: shaming other people for their passions and preferences.

It was a nice article, but also left a slightly sour aftertaste; surely you can just say "actually prepeeled garlic has its own set of benefits which you may not have thought of, here is a nice article pointing some out" and leave it at that, without going for the "you ableist scum" narrative to get the point across.

I like peeling garlic when I cook. The implication that I henceforth have to consider myself posh privileged ableist scum whenever I peel garlic is not something I particularly cared for to be honest.
They don't require it, they request it. Frankly a terrible idea in my opinion because a lot of meat eaters, like GP here, have a persecution complex and this only feeds into that. My grocery store keeps it properly in the "meat substitute" section.

I understand your position. However from my position it just creates more work for me and balancing between spamming people and being always ready to answer to the teamlead "What happened to X?" and the answer "It's at Joe's" is not acceptable. Anyway, to me it wasn't a healthy environment.

It's not immediately clear what DIDs are, what problems they're solving (and what value they're providing to the ecosystem), why they're better than other options in the same space, and how they'll function and scale years into the future. That's a legitimate cause for skepticism.

That the objections brought on by the two largest browser vendors are dismissed entirely, without further addressing the concerns stated, is unsettling.
Back in 2019: 500 Hours of Video Uploaded to YouTube Every Minute

I switched to block cheese when I found out that pre-grated cheese (SO convenient) has anti-caking agents which alter the flavor. The only thing I did to make this easy? buy a 2nd grater so I could still grate cheese if the first was in the dishwasher. I'm sure it's already paid for itself.

On a 5lb block of cheddar, I use a plastic sandwich bag over the exposed end of the block with a rubber band wrapped around to keep it fresh.

> I find it crazy to decriminalise a drug that is supposed to be smoked. It is through second-hand smoke that people get addicted to a smoked drug

I can testify that as a child with a habitual smoker in the house, of ordinary cigarettes, it was kinda terrible. All our clothes would smell of tabacco, and teachers at school were convinced me and my brother are smokers.

after being tortured by cigarette smoke for a decate, we find them repulsive and have never touched them.

so it runs contrary to my experience, and i never heard of anyone aquiring addiction through 2nd hand smoking, but it can be damaging to the wholw familt.

40k people are dying a year from cars, and the problem is that driverless electric cars are not the solution. They are the faster horse kind of innovation. If we were serious about reducing fatalities, improving health, and reducing pollution, the solution would be to drastically reduce the amount of miles driven per year and the number and the size of the cars. We need to encourage people to bike and walk and use public transportation. Autonomous trains would work extremely well and we don't have to worry about bicyclists. The zoning laws and car centric development of cities is the issue.
Yes, if it is a use that doesn't require permission from the copyright owner, the license is irrelevant (unless you can demonstrate that the person doing the license-prohibited use agreed to the license anyway, in some context that makes it legally binding such as a contract.)

Every veg I know in the UK occasionally eats faux meat products, even the most hardcore ones. In fact, it's the hard core vegans that tend to be quite enthusiastic about these products, as most of them are vegan due to ethics rather than specifically disliking meat. Also, I've never met a meat eater here bothered by calling veg food sausage, burger, mince, milk, steak, etc. either.

However, products like Quorn have been popular here since the 80s so perhaps people are used to it by now. Even before the whole vegan movement took off, the terms have been overloaded, for example mince pies, head cheese, milk of magnesia, Welsh rabbit/rarebit, peanut butter, portobello steak, beefsteak tomato, rice burgers, oil-based "butter"...

outstanding essay - suddenly we have an explanation how people can 'self radicalise' - it is in fact via a tight feedback loop with an audience. Milo went down this route - he was always a provocateur but dove deep into the alt-right when the found he could gain an audience there.

Not clear how people can get out of this once they are there - the acquired audience is never going to signal 'stop' so the the motivation is just to keep going ever deeper. There is an argument that de-platforming - severing the feedback loop - might be the only way, which chafes against our instincts for freedom of speech, expression, association
