Mostly because Apple’s update policy is superior to A LOT of Android companies. OEMs are really slow when patching known vulnerabilities.

Quick study I found when trying to find evidence:

https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/16-Acar-A-Device-Centric-Analysis-of-Android-Security-Updates.pdf

Compared to the top three OEMs we examined so far, Google is the one with the most stable support behavior. All of the Pixel devices receive monthly security updates without any delay or missed SPLs [Security Patch Levels]

It’s utterly insane this is noteworthy. Not delaying security updates for KNOWN vulnerabilities should not be exemplary.

No, it’s a race and the winner takes all.

It’s literally free fame.

Would you have ever heard of this local African politician if he didn’t have this name?

Is it actually possible for a fish-like animal to have eyes at the front (i.e. an animal with a hydrodynamic shape that spends all its time underwater)?

I feel like that’s really difficult for evolution to achieve, especially because the mouth has to go somewhere at the front too. I mean, look at where the lights of a high-speed train are placed and their shape.

Intuitively it feels easier to just put the eyes on the side. Plus it feels like there’s a lower risk of damaging them when bumping into something.

Yeah, I don’t mind it too much. Especially because tax evasion is a far bigger harm to social welfare systems.

As long as he actually needed that money and wasn’t some already well-off fucker that wanted to hoard even more money that is.

Yeah no, that’s not how a pension system can be sustainable.

Some people must get less than they paid so that others don’t have to starve to death because they live to the age of 100.

And that’s honestly OK. The same way someone who never gets sick in their life has to pay for all the chronically ill.

You misunderstand, the project aims to have them eradicated by 2050, not starting to eradicate them in 2050. The project isn’t called Predator Free 2050 for no reason.

limits the harm

Harm reduction isn’t really sufficient when every single feral cat kills presumably hundreds of criticially endangered birds per year, is it?

Interesting kink but I’m not shaming.

Not a lot.

Let M be the set of all memes.

Is this well-defined? How can you tell whether something is an element of M?

f(x) is a meme making fun of x for all x in M

Does such an f even exist? Why? Obviously it exists for some x in M but for all?

Thus there exists a normie meme n

What’s a normie meme? Why does its existance follow?

and a unique function F for all natural number k

This again requires f to be well-defined.

The set M is also equipped with a dankness norm.

Prove it has that norm and please also prove it fulfills all properties of a norm.

with property that ||F(k)|| ≤ ||F(k+1)|| for all k in N.

[proof required]. Idea for a counterexample: A meme making fun of a meme in such a terrible way it cannot possibly be “danker”. Though this would require f^-1(terrible meme making fun of meme) to not be empty.

Gambling addictions have very high suicide ideation and suicide attempt rates. The exact numbers seem ti vary from study to study but I haven’t found any with percentages below double digits.

Gambling addictions are not uncommon either, with 1-3% of the general population being affected [Wikipedia]. Risk factors include starting young and online gambling by the way. Guess who encourages both?

If I had to guess, thousands of people have committed suicide at least partially due to Valve. “Partially” because case gambling could’ve been the entry into other forms of gambling that cemented gambling addictions.

That’s your article. I was talking about the articles OP linked which do not contain this phrase anywhere.

I’m not about to discuss an article that is completely irrelevant for OP’s point.

China’s emissions have peaked and are going down now. Way before the promised 2035 deadline from your post.

The 2035 deadline is not for the emission peak. It’s for the 7 - 10% emission reduction from the current peak. The difference between 7% and 30% is very much significant.

Plus how has information changed?? The article linked is from 5 days ago. Nowhere is the period from 2020 to 2025 mentioned, neither in this comment nor in the article.

Are you an LLM? Because your reading comprehension sure is no different than one.

Have you read the comment you are responding to?

Nowhere does it state China keeps increasing CO2 emissions. It states China’s own target goals are insufficient.

To be fair, socialist countries thus far have been mostly utilitarian when dealing with people.

If 10% of gay people commit suicide but 20% reproduce then the policy is a success. Lifes are just resources that can be spent for the “collective’s” (read: state’s) benefit.

No, it’s deterministic. If you control the source of random numbers (such as with a seed), you will always get the same result from the same prompt.

Computers are mathematically incapable of randomness. Even a stochastic sampling requires randomness which will be deterministic if your source of random numbers is controlled.

There are a couple more assumption that may result in costs worse than reality:

• It is assuming each frame is independently generated. In reality, the AI model may use keyframes and interpolation which would reduce computation costs.
• It is assuming the 70,000 prompts were all fully generated. But since AI is deterministic, taking a low resolution, low framerate sample of each prompt to discard the 99% of trash would be an easy way to save a lot of resources

Though I am neither an AI expert nor in charge of creating AI videos so both of these suggestions may not reflect reality.

Times before are somewhat irrelevant when speaking about today. Not because today is supposed to be independent of the past, mind you, but rather because there have been strongly varying rates of progress across different countries. You cannot extrapolate two countries are the same today because they were the same in the past. Cultures diverge.

And nowhere did I claim everyone in the US was tainted while elsewhere everything is perfectly fine? Did you even read my comment? There’s good reason I used the term “primarily” several times. This is a serious topic and so I thought about my precise wording.

Ukrainian refugees in Europe are treated better than Subsaharan African refugees. Both experience xenophobia, the latter further experiences racism. Neither group is treated remotely well.

If we want to get really specific, racism is just one specific type of xenophobia where looks alone determine membership in the in-group or various out-groups. But to claim all xenophobia is racism is misleading at best and outright wrong at worst.

Simple US-American models about racism that are broadly accurate there just cannot be applied elsewhere without adaption. Not doing that is very much “progressive” US defaultism.

No, I’d say race is primarily US-American concept.

Language/nationality are in Europe the most relevant factors. Racism simply due to skin color does happen too but it occurs less often than other forms of discrimination (because there are simply significantly fewer people of a different “race”. The US-American view would just see white people discriminating against white people.)

I mean, a Black and a White US-American are culturally far more similar than an English and a Polish guy but in looks far more different. So US-Americans discriminate primarily by looks (racism) while the English discriminate primarily by culture (xenophobia). That’s why British Indians (considered to belong to a Brown race in the US) can be the leaders of the Tories with barely any outcry while in the US Obama caused Republicans to collapse into a hatred singularity called “Trump”.
