When a goddamn exercise equipment stops functioning because of internet connectivity loss it's either the company goes down in a fiery death or we failed as society. Looks at pandemic response Yep, we failed. Let the meteor come.
In this specific case I believe it could. You need to choose a good spot, position the camera properly, evaluate and sort the pictures etc. The animals or whatever don't need to act like that macaque monkey did in this case. I could be wrong but I think this is one of these grey zone possibilities.
Ah yes, if some seller told me I had to pay a recurring fee to access car functions that can be accessed locally without connections I'd either ask not to be shown options from that brand anymore or leave the place if it was a single brand dealer. But hey, private companies don't need regulations, they will behave some ppl say. Yeah.
It's not clear to me if the person involved in the trial was involved AGAINST Netanyahu. It's probably the case but it would be nice to know since it could be something systemic and independent from whoever is prime minister. Other than that it's quite shocking to see the tools being misused but it's hardly a surprise.
This is a complete nightmare for any site owner nowadays. I'm just thinking about the thousands of online 3rd-party objects most systems and sites use to streamline all sorts of stuff. If this decision holds and becomes precedent there will be... a lot of innocent blood spilled.
This philosophy of producing their own content instead of gobbling up other studios to do their job is actually something I admire on Nintendo. I don't like the system exclusivity specially when concerning PC ports since the audiences are different even if they overlap in a significant portion. Copyright fuckery put aside (it is for me a huge issue when I choose to buy content) I would totally buy Nintendo games if they had decent PC ports because there's a ton of good stuff from them.
I'm fairly sure the new Chilean Constitution will have plenty of awesome and some awful in the middle, parts of it will take a long time to be implemented or simply will lay forgotten and a lot of what isn't permanent will change over time. But in any case, anything not written by a bloody dictator will always be much better. I'm sincerely cheering on our Chilean brothers and sisters and hoping this is the first of many countries giving the middle finger to the liberal* economics that rule most of the world.
*liberal in the sense of small government at all costs even if it hurts the population, no no social welfare etc, not the US definition of liberal.
Your words fail to convene how huge of a disaster this actually is. I hope a friend of mine struck by heavy depression never comes across any information about this. Or at least share with me so I can help work out the inevitable paranoia this will generate.
Re: There's indifference, there's evil, and then there's THIS...
March 2020 had a brief hiccup in the second half of 2021 when ppl got their vaccines and thought we could finally move on with our lives. But they forgot greed (African and other poor countries with almost no vaccination) and anti-vaxxers so we are now stuck in the second half of 2021.
As far as I know ayahuasca is also widely used in religious rituals. Shamanism if memory serves. Even though it is generally illegal (as in forbidden by law) here generally speaking you are free to produce and use in religious rituals. So Instagram has basically two options here: ban because it is illegal or allow because it is religious stuff? Also, if it's totally fine in country X but not in country Y but the persons deciding whether to ban or not are from country Y, then what? And what if the ones evaluating are quite christian and decide to ban based on their religious beliefs? Can Instagram guarantee the neutrality of the moderation? So many difficult questions in this specific case but it's true for many other issues.
I'd say that one way to help mitigate wrongful takedowns would be to offer better appealing tools and combine other methods of moderation considering aspects such as account activity, longevity, exposure and amount of users flagging before taking action and when determining the urgency of an appeal. Even then I'm fairly sure collateral damage would still happen. It is an herculean task after all.
Just a few thoughts not sorted in any particular order, my apologies if it came out in a messy way. Happy new year folks!
Re: 'Here's some scapegoats now please don't look closer'
This. But I would guess it's not department-wide. It's a cancer in the entirety of the police forces. In the whole world. And it's just possible because law enforcement in general wield their power unchecked, with little to no oversight. That dilemma "who judges the judges" is evolving and getting worse because this king of thing would not be possible if everybody was doing their job including but not limited to the judges as well. Obvious racism/abuse cases don't get dismissed by themselves, there's a judge dismissing them and not being punished for their own bigotry.

Re: What's a little torture of prisoners among nations?'
It's very sad that he sucks as a person as far as I can tell. Because a ton of people, including a lot of commenters here, would rather see an idiot punished and freedom of press destroyed than admitting he is being persecuted and harassed by the US govt. Idiots are entitled to their rights as much as people we like.
O yeah, it's totally different having a small and a big stroke because of the stress induced by governmental harassment, persecution. Having a goddamn stroke. Way to shill for a corrupt government and against freedom of press.
The thing that strikes me the most is that nothing will give back the 25 years he spent in prison because of police corruption. The absolutely least justice can do is to make the cops serve 25 years plus whatever are the penalties for these violations. At the very least an year for an year. Unfortunately I don't see this happening. But I do hope things change in the future.
So they don't like encryption. So why don't they do their banking without it? Why don't they give up their privacy and simply open up their phones so everybody can take a peek? Hard questions.
