They are exploiting a vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to privileged information. Sounds hackery to me. It’s not their fault that Zuck made it easy.

Good guy Pyrrhus.

Just in case there any kilogenerians?

If you’ve never thought about shooting someone, then on what basis can you even say that shooting someone is wrong?

Am I supposed to know how much a box of tomatoes normally costs? How big of a box? Why not give the price increase as a percentage?

I hate headlines.

It’s not a good look for the party that is harping on the Epstein files to be reluctantly releasing redacted documents in responsive to widespread outrage.

There’s a difference between being funny and referencing something funny. This isn’t humor, it’s recall.

Morgan Stanley is not mentioned in the article.

Seems weird to call out a specific brokerage that doesn’t have any specific connection to Trump just to reference an advertisement from a quarter century ago.

Ok, now do sponges. Is it obvious sponges feel pain? How can you tell it’s obvious?

Why would you assume another organism can feel pain without any proof? Rationalism requires skepticism.

I think omission can be used for misleading/deception, but that it’s distinct from a lie.

Why were they storing passwords in plaintext in the databases?!

The term “featherbedding” is usually used by management to describe behaviors and rules sought by workers.

The most rigorous evidence comes from a 2018 whole-population study tracking nearly half a million children born in Western Australia between 1980 and 2001. Of those, 1,870 developed schizophrenia, but not one of the 66 children with cortical blindness did.

1,870 / 500,000 = 0.374% of people in the general population

0.374% * 66 = 0.25

Not particularly rigorous.

A lot of criticism here for numerical scores, but consider the popularity of tier list ranking videos. Maybe we should be ranking movies relative to one another. Not sure how that works as a UI though.

There are ways to be compelling other than annoyance.

Avellone bragging that his game’s code has security-through-spaghetti.

This is a ruling from the 5th Circuit Court. From Wikipedia:

During his first administration, President Donald Trump appointed six judges to the court, with many observers thereafter regarding it as the most conservative court of appeals.[4][5][6] The Fifth Circuit’s reversal rate at the US Supreme Court from the beginning of the 2020 term through the end of the 2022 term was 74%, making it the 7th most frequently reversed circuit court; the average rate of reversals was 68%.[7][8] Some members of the Supreme Court, including Chief Justice John Roberts, have indicated concern with how the Fifth Circuit approaches cases.[9][10][11] Several court observers have interpreted the court as being exceptionally conservative in its rulings.[12]
