Is it because they didn’t use a ranked choice voting mechanism? ( said in partial jest)
Why use the term ‘conveyor belt’? No conveyor. No belts. Automated cargo containers.
just to be clear, for fear we mentally normalize this
- this is hostile behavior from Chrome
- what the customer does with the browser, in a sane world, is of no concern of the guy who made it.
to accept that another person has one sided authority to determine what you can and can’t do with a tool, after it is in your possession is weird.
Kids, remember, Google is an advertising company.
…and letting users know, at some level, they are analyzing every video uploaded to google drive.
One thing to note - The science is still calculating. Yet. SpaceX (and presumably others) are allowed to continue and increase what they’re doing. This is the bass ackwards way to protect future us.
Its the same mentality as driving in a random direction for 20 minutes while someone looks in the car for the map on the off chance that when you get the map open you’ll be where you wanted to be anyway.
It has the potential (and at this point, just the potential) for planet level changes, and is being done by one group. Should I, a random dude, be able to do something that might possibly affect the entire planet, and the planet as a whole just have to wait and see how it turns out?
The hopeful thought that its probably nothing, before anyone can prove that it’s probably nothing, makes a bet where the short term wins are mine, but any long term losses are everyone else’s.
In my language this statement :
The anti-science crowd wins again
Says that science (good) is being defeated by the anti-science crowd (bad). From there it follows, if people are against this product of science, then they are against science.
Therefore, all science must be good. And all people against ANY product of science are therefore ‘anti-science’
