I’ve never seen someone doing what they’re paid to do called “cognitive bias.”

I live in southwest England. When I visit London, I can taste the air. I’ve noticed the improvement since the ULEZ went in.

If he were real military instead of a yapping Fox talk show host, he’d be court-martialled for gross incompetence.

Those neighbors, at least Kuwait, the Emirates and Saudi Arabia, were right alongside the Israelis in lobbying Trump to start the war. Then they thought they could stand idly by and cash in on the carnage while other people did the killing and dying. And they’ve also had a long history of murdering their indigenous Shi’a populations, and funding or waging wars to kill them elsewhere, such as in Yemen.

So this sounds like chickens coming home to roost.

That’s because they’re incompetent.

Hegseth is an amateur.

Not even an amateur, he’s a racist, misogynist wanker, who doesn’t talk strategy or tactics, because he doesn’t know a fucking thing about either. Instead, he talks pseudoscience about testosterone levels, obsesses about facial-hair regulations, and blocks promotions of women and Black men to senior ranks.

Minors cannot be signatories to a contract. Nothing the parent does can change that.

If someone agrees to unlawful contract terms, those terms have no legal force, and depending on the wording of the contract, it could potentially invalidate the whole contract (though there’s usually fine print about separability that deals with that eventuality).

It would be a bit strange for me that children have no rights.

That’s because it’s not true.

Minors (except immigrants who have not been naturalized) are citzens, and they do have rights. For example, minors can be issued passports, and cannot lawfully be deported. That’s because they’re citizens.

Also, you can’t just walk down the street and kill a minor. That’s an example of a right that everyone has, regardless of whether they’re citizens. Generally, the Constitution refers to such people as persons rather than citizens.

The vast majority of minors are not wards of the state, the only exception being those who are declared wards of the state through explicit legal procedures.

So nothing you said was correct.

The real rationale for Roblox being full of shit is that minors cannot execute contracts. And there are what are called unconscionable contracts, which are invalid even if the signatory is not a minor.

Terrorizing New Yorkers with affordable groceries. Oh, the horror!

He’d never admit it. “Antifa has shat in my Depends again!!!”

Well, if Trump could swim and he thought there was a chance to rape the kid, there’s a remote chance he might try.

So more DOJ flunkies lying to a grand jury to get an indictment?

More to the point: what the fuck, Schneier?

The correct thing to do is to announce that there will be no bailout, and there will be criminal liability for any fraudulent practices that drove the hype cycle. Anything else will just encourage an even worse mega-scam next time. Let 'em burn to the fucking ground. Until and unless there’s proper accountability and meaningful controls, we don’t need LLMs.

Yeah, because the government picking winners has such a stellar track record. /s

It was a crisis manufactured by the King of Morocco, to curry favor with the US and/or Israel.

The “online retailer” also provides logistics services to the Russian military.

Sequestration is bullshit.

Cut emissions.

It’s more about particulate emissions: especially diesel soot.
