As a non american, the pledge of allegiance thing is absolutely wild to me.

neutrons =/= neutrinos

uh, hi, google…?

You are not wrong, but the comment you wrote this to is literally about trying actively not to.

Fortunately, Nexus went dark within hours of the KrebsOnSecurity scoop,

there are other, more robust, ways of fingerprinting images than hashing the data. I’m not sure how it works exactly though, but I can imagine it is not completely different from how shazam can pick out a song in a noisy environment.

I thought the rule was that it has to be at least the same components. Like mcdonalds images are super styled, but all the things on the picture are at least present pn your burger.

also, is that even legal?

I agree. It is unprecedented (and stupid), yet he did do it. As far as I know executive orders has been used as a do anything tool, so why would this specific thing cross the line?

Executive orders are a ridiculous and undemocratic notion to begin with, but the US does have them (together with Liberia, Nigeria, the Philippines).

“Dont throw the baby out with the bathwater”

crazy

You say that but show a graph that shows the arrests tripling after trumps second inauguration…

I mean, you can only enforce it in your own jurisdiction, right?

Your country can decide to call Sweden Poop-land, your own localized maps will label it Poop-land, but on swedish maps it will still be called Sverige.

I wouldn’t call this an instance of that. Trump as far as I understand stupidly but legally changed the name.

How is the comparison even relevant?
Last time I checked SUVs are required to adhere to speed limits too.

I wasn’t arguing about cars vs motorcycles, I was arguing that

the risk is born by the rider instead of the public.

is complete horseshit.

the risk is born by the rider instead of the public.

This is some bullshit. A motorcycle may be smaller than a car comparatively but one being hurled at you at highway speeds is still lethal. Both pedestrians and people in cars die to speeding motorcycles every day.

the troubles 2: electric boogaloo

of course. I’m alluding to the fact that while theres been a significant improvement, we still in many places consume worrying amounts of lead.

That is still a very worrying sentence when the only safe level is 0

First off I’m Canadian,

Wasn’t expecting that

and secondly America isn’t, but Minnesota is.

Minnesota is a part of America, hence my wording.
