Joseph Ducreux. He did a load more.

I know perfectly well the laws of your country, and that the links I originally posted apply to the UK. My comments were about principles, rather than the specifics of US law, which again could apply to the US.

Google is quite wilfully recommending certain things that increase engagement, they're metric-ed up the eye balls. Facebook has internal documents that clearly state they know they're actively promoting harmful content.

But then again we don’t jail people for teaching dogs to do the nazi salute, so yeah, strange.

He was not jailed, he was fined and it was for saying things “antisemitic and racist in nature”. The link has some of the things he said that are clearly not so innocuous as you seem to portray given the rise of the right wing. The whole "it's a joke" defence is also pretty well documented as a modern phenomena of the right wing.

You are misinformed and if you have any sympathies for that guy, you have the wrong priorities at best, or at worst are resorting to the usual alt right talking points.

As a matter of principle, you're right on one account, which is that I do not place the ultimate value on freedom of speech. The fact that American companies have a strangle hold over the public sphere and the dynamics of speech is problematic.

Don’t apply UK’s lack of freedom of speech in American courts.

It is a felony under federal law to intentionally “solicit, command, induce, or otherwise endeavor to persuade” another person to engage in a crime of violence against a person or property. 18 U.S.C. § 373. https://www.law.georgetown.edu/icap/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2020/12/Fact-Sheet-on-Threats-Related-to-the-Election.pdf

A phone in a region with rock or ice flow might be grinded down into fine sand within hundreds of years. A smartphone touching lava will be burned to crisp within minutes

A Nokia 3310 on the other hand would survive all of these without a scratch. 🙃

European housing is built with a lot of focus on insulation and heat control

It's more about also keeping heat out, as well as heat in. Which have overlap but are not necessarily the same thing. See this conversation for some more details.

power over air? 🤨

Tesla did it*.

The only person liable here is the shooter.

On the very specific point of liability, while the shooter is the specific person that pulled the trigger, is there no liability for those that radicalised the person into turning into a shooter? If I was selling foodstuffs that poisoned people I'd be held to account by various regulatory bodies, yet pushing out material to poison people's minds goes for the most part unpunished. If a preacher at a local religious centre was advocating terrorism, they'd face charges.

The UK government has a whole ream of context about this: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/97976/prevent-strategy-review.pdf

Google's "common carrier" type of defence takes you only so far, as it's not a purely neutral party in terms, as it "recommends", not merely "delivers results", as @joe points out. That recommendation should come with some editorial responsibility.

I can’t answer for America, but generally in democracies you get two and only two parties.

Your answer is both incredible specific to the UK and subtly incorrect. I don't quite have the time to write a full rebuttal, but the more egregious of errors is this one:

The Liberals were the radicals, the party of industry and progress and free markets and who cares who it hurts as long as it’s the future.

One of the core tenets of liberalism is the harm principle. Sure progress is important but so is not harming anyone. Your post seems to equate only socialism with bringing good to British society, when that quite simply is just not true, and refutable. The Labour Party in the UK quite successfully adopted a lot of the items on the liberal agenda, such as gender equality.

The FPTP system is quite poisonous to the political debate in the UK as the natural tendency that only one of two parties can dominate and thus removes all nuance and creates toxic tribalism.

Try this one. Maybe your browser or app doesn't deal with the quote characters.

The negative option is that it’s a “no quarter” flag.

Oh, yikes. https://www.biscaynetimes.com/viewpoint/the-%E2%80%98no-quarter%E2%80%99-flag-and-its-threat-to-america/

I don’t think Maui has any type of airport either.

It has three. https://www.hawaii.com/play/maui-airports/

The Band is the band that band leader Robbie Robertsen led.

For those unaware further reading on this is the Southern Strategy.

Marko's the kind of guy that shitposts to Formuladank except he's actually in a position of power in one of the biggest teams in F1.

Yes, indeed. One of the nice things about docker is that you can keep everything self contained, but then also map in volumes. This may be an external directory for configuration that you archive elsewhere but could also be something more advanced like a Kubernetes PVC.

I'm so glad all of this is just a conspiracy by Big Firefighter to keep more firefighters employed, rather than an existential threat to humanity. /s

I recently did much of the same research and ended up just buying a LitterBot 4. Not perfect and the cat begrudgingly uses it, but it does mean I don't have to scoop the litter tray twice a day (or more) which is worth the outlay. The cheaper ones just seem to come with even more down sides.
