“more speech and fewer mistakes.”

You can’t make moderation mistakes if you stop moderating. tap head with finger

A planned lecture at China’s Nankai University was abruptly cancelled in January, reportedly due to “scheduling conflicts.”

Is he scheduled to visit a “reeducation” camp?

Japan’s JPCERT released IOCs for MirrorFace malware earlier https://blogs.jpcert.or.jp/en/2024/07/mirrorface-attack-against-japanese-organisations.html

Kudos to them. Sharing IOCs and samples with other CERTs and vendors is important to protect others who may be targeted.

He said there was no risk of Slovakia itself suffering from gas shortages, as it had already made alternative arrangements.

This isn’t about Slovakia’s own gas supply. The article give some hints regarding Fico’s motivations.

The speaker of the house is in the presidential line of succession, right after the VP. So that’s a fair question. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_line_of_succession

You’re probably being sarcastic, but I can’t help it and have to say it: “traditional values” are obviously not a solution to this epidemy. The solution include more prevention and testing.

No one deserve to get infected, not even one’s worse enemy. This is contagious and will also harm neighbouring countries.

It’s going to make even more nurses run away, when many places are lacking nurses.

A significant hairdresser budget goes a long way toward making Strange New Worlds. The federation wouldn’t stand a chance without the captain’s magnificent haircut.

In addition to not connecting stuff unnecessarily, connected devices that consume/produce lots of power need safeguards.

Like a random 0-60sec timer for remote power on/off operations. 50000 panels powering down over 60sec is easier to handle than if they do that simultaneously.

Temu sure wish they didn’t, but they do in fact need to adhere to local laws in juridictions where they’re doing business.

There already are complaints against Temu for noncompliance to EU regulation. For instance https://www.beuc.eu/sites/default/files/publications/BEUC-X-2024-046_Temu_Why_the_fast-growing_online_marketplace_fails_to_comply_with_the_DSA.pdf

It may be trickier to enforce law against Temu vs a more classic and direct seller of goods, so it may take more time, and it may become a game of whack a mole, but there will be some enforcement.

If not the chineese manufacturer, then whoever is importing them .

They should force a recall.

There are hypotheticals precisely because Tiktok is not transparent enough. It sounds like they’re doing an estimate on the best data publically available.

At the very least, this put pressure on Tiktok to be more transparent. Tiktok could prove the study wrong by publishing more about their energy and resource use.

That’s both smart and worrying.

Disabling interconnexion shows what still work, and what breaks when only the country’s own network is accessible. Doing multiple short tests allows gradually building a more isolated network while limiting disruptions.

As an alternative to newspaper and magazine subscriptions, go to your local library’s (website).

My library card allows me to access a bunch of newspaper and magazines online, and cost me just a very low yearly fee.

He’s also giving more material to the CoC board by posting this. He’s free to do it but it’s not helping.

I wish he would avoid commenting and stay away from the drama, until he hears from the board if there’s any complaint and what it is.

“I can potentially make it really big,” Lin said, hopeful despite the modest earnings.

This sounds like Uberisation, ie relying on entrepreneur wannabes to replace employees and warehouses with self-employed workers and their living room. I’d be curious to see if it allows them to earn a living wage with a 40h week, or if it’s exploitative.

Every service may be abused to spread misinformation. Here, the complaint isn’t that people abuse a service against the owner’s will, but that the service is operated to spread misinformation.

One way to address this could be to look at moderation. Is there meaningful moderation to limit misinformation? A service operated to spread misinformation wouldn’t moderate it.

It’s worse than that. Trump is a danger for the environment and climate. And the whole world will suffer consequence.

EV producers in the US are going to take a hit, whereas the ones in China and the EU would probably be fine.

Sounds like shooting itself in the foot.
