The way these big firms work is they make a bunch of almost contradictory arguments and you have to show they're all false in order to win the law suit.

So it'll look like:

  1. I didn't do it.
  2. Even if I did do it you can't prove it was me.
  3. Even if you can prove it was me I wouldn't be liable.
  4. Even if I was liable this has to be settled by arbitration.

So you have to get through arguments 4 and 3 first, to show that it's worth the court trying to find out what happened. Then they'll fight you tooth and nail on points 1 and 2 later.

For breaking news stories, the website might keep updating the pictures.

Lemmy presumably goes to the website, and downloads a relevant image to use as a thumbnail. Then the writers update the article images.

One of the important things in many kinds of meditation is it's not about stopping the bees, but noticing them.

I remember hearing about some Buddhist monk who was famed for his meditation. Someone asked him how long he could sit before his mind wandered "oh about seven seconds normally". He just got very good at noticing when his mind wandered and trying again.

But I'm not sure how open it really is.

It seems to have Reddit disease where the people that run the site are trying to make money off the free user contributions.

Komoot is another one that clearly is commercial but based on user contributions. https://www.komoot.com/

The problem is that Tesla is a meme stock. It's stupidly overpriced for a car company with such little production.

They could get rid of musk and try to turn it into a normal company with solid fundamentals but this would remove its meme status and crash the share price anyway.

There's no way to fix Tesla without burning it's stock price to the ground, so anyone involved is just going to try to ride the crazy train as long as possible.

Come on Elon, make the Cybertruck 2 and really fuck everything up.

Yeah anything responsible that reports and corrects mistakes made in past reporting gets a low score for factual accuracy, when these should be getting the highest scores.

It's completely backwards.

Lots of people still split latex documents into one section per file, because subversion used file locks and we only knew how one person could edit a file at a time.

It was added by Twitter before Elon broke it.

"Trusted individuals" get to propose context, and it's vetted by a bunch of other trusted individuals. Everyone then votes if it's good or not. Context that is too contentious will probably get removed. If you keep proposing notes everyone hates then you lose the status.

Yeah, I used to date someone from one of the richest families in Guangzhou (at least pre revolution). When the revolution came they hid a shitload of wealth, in the form of antiques, gold, and foreign assets.

Don't get me wrong. They got shipped off to camps, and lost most of their money. But those that survived the cultural revolution were still richer than almost everyone else.

Social capital is important, but real capital helps a lot too.

He's already been defeated soundly at the voting booth. That's why there was an insurrection.

We really should be moving to consequences part of the constitution instead giving Trump yet another chance to steal power.

We get in trouble if we fail everyone because we made them do a novel synthesis, instead of just repeating what we told them.

Particularly for an intro course, remembering what you were told is good enough.
