Baffling that male genital mutilation persists to this day due to momentum, misinformation, and a small religious niche alone. Really makes me think there’s an empathy gap between gendered issues. 1996 we got rid of FGM, yet 30 years later baby boys still get their tips of their penis cut off, often incorrectly/too far.
Humbling reminder we really are a bunch of well dressed apes playing house, I forget that sometimes
The amount of charged snark that is all in one particular direction seen in this HN comments thread is really something. You don’t see attitude like this on other potential medical breakthroughs, like the tooth regrowth research that was recently on HN
A deep dive into why this is different sure would be an interesting article to read
If there is no tangible evidence of this you can legitimately point to and hand the police, then there is no thing indicating it exists outside of your own head (delusion). How do you know guards are bribed, your devices are hacked? Robocalls and rando messages on Skype are a dime a dozen, but if they’re incriminating threats, take it to police. Do not rely on your own instinct or intuition to make deductions about reality, rely on tangible evidence that 3rd parties can appreciate ; This era of cameras and recorders leaves no excuse. There is no organization so professional they can make demands, negotiations, or attempts at your life via telepathy.
Your close friends and relatives can gauge your personality more accurately than you can. If your family thinks you’re psychotic, I’d trust that more than some random walk in psych.
With that sort of income you should not have this level of anxiety about your options, you should have plenty in the bank to play startup with, fail, and reenter the traditional job market having learned your lesson: with padding to spare.
Id start by seriously reconsidering your finances. If you make all the money, you call all the shots, your three dependents all on a free ride need to respect that. Furthermore- “family of 4 that I support with my income alone” - barring the case that you have an infant, your partner should be pulling more weight, too. Single income households are not feasible in California without major compromise: and that major compromise is currently occurring at your expense
This is how they sold it: of course, nobody wants to see unsolicited dick pics. Good framing, they obviously pay their marketing department very well.
Yet, consider how many unsolicited dick pics you actually see in a day, week, or month- and if sometimes blocking a % of them is worth permanently ceding more privacy to Apple.
If you’re seeing so many dick pics to where this is positive trade off for you, you need to reflect on how you’re interacting with the web.
No, twitter won’t charge a monthly fee; but in one tweet Elons caused N thousand people to start discussing the monetary value of access to twitter, and some million extra to read and think about it, too
TB3 means that end user could attach their own egpu to a lower end (cheaper) model, and future proof it harder against potential SB4..
not to mention, that their proprietary connector only connects to their $300 dock!
I feel like everyone can learn from their competitors, but here Microsoft is emulating only the worst parts of Apple
Most concerning is the widespread “be the first in the market at any costs now, deal with the fines later” mentality - see; Uber, and all those pesky rent-a-scooter startups
“Can’t blame peasantry.. the Trackers are responsible”
That’s not how responsibility works. If you use this device, you’re responsible for the collateral damage it produces. The Trackers are only responsible for making you think you need it
I don’t want to inject my personal opinions into this, I’m really hoping someone with a stronger grasp of the English language that also feels this way can step in, here
That being said.. I don’t think this would have the same effect if- say, it was another generic “Hey guys look at what this cool robot could do, Featuring: Savage”, albeit less creative, and already done to death, it wouldn’t connote the same weird “I made this video solely to put under the title my Soc Media manager told me to”(?) subtext
Does anyone else get a weird feeling from videos like this? I can’t help but look at this as clickbait, or a move of desperation- but I can’t really articulate or pinpoint why. Like those “I filled my pool with ONE MILLION Orbeez” YouTube personalities who get by on the momentum from ‘shock’-value videos alone
