This is such a good point that I hadn't even realized til just now. I'm a pretty tech-savvy user and was never able to really figure out how it worked, or at least how to make it work for me. Can't imagine the average user's experience!


I hate it when ads try to stop me from accidentally killing my baby


Sorry, I misunderstood the parent was talking about sleeping in the same room which is shunned by many. Sleeping in the same bed is a completely different story and I hope nobody is doing that.


Isn't this something that technically already exists? It seems to me the government is demanding thst browsers have that capability; not that the companies would have to use that feature. But (1) it may actually not be technically possible right now? Or (2) the wording is confusing enough that it is essentially forcing the use, not just "having the ability"


They can run their own DNS servers, publish the lists, but it can't be the browsers enforcing it. Otherwise it's an idiotic path towards jailbreaking browsers.


To me the browser is the wrong vehicle for this. How can we have a completed unregulated internet and just clean up the mess in a browser.

To base regulation on something as amorphic as a web browser….

Demonstrates illiteracy of the subject matter.


Amongst "children", no. If for an adult, yes...


The post concludes that promoting LSD through anecdotal evidence is "harmful" and "naive" while condemning LSD through anecdotal evidence. I've had good experiences with hallucinogenics and think they're a societal net-positive, but if this post was promoting LSD based on a good trip with good results, it'd be equally bad. Maybe even more so.


It's just that doesn't even make any sense :(


While true that all countries had conflicts, most (maybe all?) of the developed world was never pillaged to the extent Africa and South America were. Not to mention a lot of the conflicts between those nations happened "voluntarily" between the fighting countries.

Africa especially, the current country borders were designed based on the division of property between all the European countries invading the natives' lands. That meant several tribes and groups were divided/grouped together, leading to wars that hold to this day. If I'm not mistaken the Rwanda Massacre is the major example of that coming to fruit


Nope. Check how Frenchness came about (there used to be many languages in the current French borders). Check all the various wars (Napoleonic Wars, Finnish War, WW2, much further back we have Mongol War...).

Germany didn't exist 200 years ago.

Welsh nearly went extinct.

Poland moved hundreds of miles.

The thing that differentiates those European countries from the African ones is mostly age. And even then its not always one-sided.

There's also countries like Vietnam or empires like India which got pillaged just as hard as South Africa or Rwanda.

Also, are you trying to make the point that multi-ethnic societies result in civil war? That goes pretty strongly against current public sentiment.


At that point we're back to the fact that humans make mistakes, so the AI is irrelevant. Had they not used AI, they could still make mistakes that look correct, even to experts


It is all a matter of degree and not a binary situation.


That's just false


Both are true


Definitely not. Many things are designed to prevent accidents and are not secure against attacks, even in the data landscape.
