Probably DMCA. The Olympic committee is very jealous and very aggressive. They control all recordings strictly.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 4 days ago:
It is a scummy thing to do but the leaders of the gaming industry, Gabe aside, have always been psychopaths.

I’ve literally had this happen. Doing a doctorate in engineering rn and this is real.
- Comment on It always makes news when the "Doomsday Clock" is moved by a second or minute. What would actually happen if it got to 00:00 1 week ago:
As I understand, this clock measures how habitable the world remains for humans. If we get to the end, we’d say that humans can’t easily survive anymore.

They are companies run by right wing shitbags. How many genocides were conducted on Facebook?

The smart ones work in research and teaching.
- Comment on Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge 2 weeks ago:
All this article is showing is that a large number of CEOs are swayed by hype and make poor decisions. What other poor decisions are they making all the time?
I am thoroughly convinced that the MBA is the most useless degree ever because when you look at how large businesses run so poorly, and are run by MBAs.

The better option is a fancy japanese toilet that opens and closes itself as you enter and leave the room.

Huh. I remember the name but don’t think I ever saw it. Interesting idea though.
- Comment on The invention of smartphones probably made the idea of international travel less intimidating since you now have a pocket translator tool and can find your way in a foreign place with GPS navigation. 1 month ago:
There is probably truth to what you say but I will point out that people used to get pocket guides to carry around that explained how things worked in the target country and provided basic phrases for ordering in restaurants, saying thank you, and such.
- Comment on Day 520 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 month ago:
You are amazing. I have not paid super deep attention to these but seem them nearly every time you post and think that what you are doing is really cool.
- Comment on After viral interview, Palantir launches neurodivergent fellowship 1 month ago:
No. You feel bad which means you are capable of empathy.
- Comment on After viral interview, Palantir launches neurodivergent fellowship 1 month ago:
I’m happy to hear that you looked up some of this for yourself. I figured that it was the definitions that were catching you more than the concepts.
The DSM has some very odd references in it. For instance, “retarded” is a technical definition that exists and is a possible diagnosis even though society has long moved passed that concept. Mental health is weird.
- Comment on After viral interview, Palantir launches neurodivergent fellowship 1 month ago:
Neurodivergent includes all those categories except the disorders or illnesses. Here’s why:
Things like psychopathy are caused by structural differences in the brain that make sufferers incapable of experiencing the same set of emotions as most people. Many negative behaviors are caused by lack of inhibition or empathy for others.
People with autism and adhd process information differently and respond to the world differently as a result. In severe cases this can lead to an inability to engage but will generally result more in inappropriate engagement.
Behavioral health conditions are a mix of psychological and neurological issues that require a wide variety of interventions.
These are very different things.
- Comment on After viral interview, Palantir launches neurodivergent fellowship 1 month ago:
I think that what you are noting is that narcissism can be caused by differences in brain structure, like in psychopathy, or by differences in upbringing, like in sociopathy.
- Comment on After viral interview, Palantir launches neurodivergent fellowship 1 month ago:
They are different things.
Neurodivergent people process information differently but have all the correct parts to process. They may interact with the world in slightly different ways but do not have a personality DEFECT.
People who are narcissists are missing a primary component: empathy for other humans. Their minds are fundamentally different than neurotypical and neurodivergent people.
- Comment on After viral interview, Palantir launches neurodivergent fellowship 1 month ago:
Those are personality disorders, not forms of neurodivergence.
- Comment on An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card 1 month ago:
What doesn’t add up to me is why he used a gift card instead of using credit. I suspect that there is more going on here.
- Comment on Man Charged for Wiping Phone Before CBP Could Search It 1 month ago:
In my comment elsewhere, I suggested that he wiped his phone before ever being approached. You can’t have committed a crime here if you did not know you were under investigation. It’s not destruction of evidence if there is no investigation.
- Comment on Man Charged for Wiping Phone Before CBP Could Search It 1 month ago:
A lot of people will wipe their phone when getting off the plane so that there is nothing searchable on it. When they get home, they then add it back to their account and move on with life.
Article doesn’t go into it, but what likely happened was that he has everything cloud-synced on his phone and did just that. They decided that they wanted his data but he’d wiped it before they approached him. This arrest and charge is all about them being sad that they couldn’t properly harass him, so they are harassing him in a different way. It will go absolutely nowhere.
