All the local lawyers have conflicts of interest?

I know someone suing their landlord and he had to find a lawyer 3 hours away because all the local lawyers work with this property management company.

Whoa, what an interesting variation of "buying the railroads".

Whatever you do please DO NOT look up these links on the Internet Archive.

Not just that but I would also suggest to stop using the Internet Archive in general, as it is obviously not a reliable source of truth like Wikipedia or many news outlets with specialized people that spend a non-trivial amount of their time carefully checking all of this information.

> Same with that "MIT" interviewer who wasn't even at MIT.

Lex Fridman is a research scientist at MIT. <https://web.mit.edu/directory/?id=lexfridman&d=mit.edu>

I checked the guy's Wikipedia page and the opening paragraph says he's linked to MIT like five times, lmao.

Very normal stuff.

Hashing is a part of encryption, maybe you are the one who needs to shore up on the topic?
aipatselarom · a month ago
Nice try. However, hashing and encryption are two different operations.

Load this page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard

Ctrl-F "hash". No mention of it.

Before being pedantic at least check out the url in that comment to get the basics going.

Exact same thing with Codex from 5.2 to 5.3.

There's no conspiracy, though, other than more tokens consumed = more money, and they want that.

The issue here isn't the setup, it's with people understanding it.

Enlighten us, then, savant[1].

How do you add the molecule? Well, you're not just dealing with single-digit numbers of molecules. Have an oxygen tank with a flow meter for example, open the valve to release the required volume of oxygen. The ideal gas law tells you how many molecules you let out.

How do you know when you have to do it? The sensor tells you how many oxygen molecules you consumed, as a proportion of the current flowing. So just let oxygen flow into the tank at the same rate as you're consuming it. Which you know because the device literally measures how much oxygen it is consuming.

I think the real issue is that the explanation in the tweet is from a physics perspective rather than an engineering one, which means it reads like it was implemented with impossible magic.

>open the valve to release the required volume of oxygen

Mega LMAO. I can assure you this is not what's going on, at all. Also, if you release oxygen in gas form into the liquid you're going to run into a zillion other problems.

One of the golden premises of measuring things is to avoid altering what you're measuring, lol.

Hi there – author of the post here. I included this quite intentionally.

I consider rape and sexual assault to be one of the worst things one human can do to another – just behind murder and torture. And yet society is littered with it. Ask any woman (and some men), she'll more than likely have a story. And it should be obvious: don't sexually hurt people! I _shouldn't_ need to include this in a simple list of rules for life. But sadly, I feel I do.

I've noticed advice articles, personal development books, and "self-help" podcasts aimed largely at men never seem to address this simple fact: far too many men commit or have thoughts of sexual violence. This was true hundreds of years ago and it's still true now. These men are out there, amongst us. They're "good" in every other way – they're kind to strangers, they love their mother, they're great fathers to their kids (how many of the world's great men have an "allegations" section on their Wikipedia page for goodness sake?). And yet they give in to this disgusting, horrific lust that ends up ruining someone's life (and often their own).

I purposefully included it in my list, because others don't. Because it appears to be something that more men struggle with than people realise.

I don't care if it's taboo. If my post stops just one man acting on his evil desires and harming a woman, man, or child, it was worth it as far as I'm concerned, despite the controversy I've stirred up.

Having said that, if what I wrote was clumsy, inconsiderate or implies I have similar desires – as you and theblazehen suggests – then I do apologise. I am NOT on the side of rapists.

Edit: I probably should have mentioned that my advice was meant to also cover cheating on your partner as a form of "harm", as well as sexual assault. But maybe I was too vague.

The issue is not if it's a good/bad thing. We all know that.

The issue is that is neither common nor a natural thing for men to "struggle not to rape someone" as much as you think it is. While your intentions might be good, and I do believe that, it reads like some sort of freudian slip.

Imagine if someone wrote "hey guys, let's be honest, I don't really like this thing of urinating on your food before eating, can we just agree to stop doing that :)".

You wouldn't think "oh what a sensible comment, finally someone has the balls to talk about it", no, you would just :O and think the guy is crazy ...

Ask a divorce lawyer that question.

If you actually did that you'd know most domestic violence is from women towards men.

But it doesn't transcend as men are usually way stronger and just brush it off.

Hint: It's so prevalent it's even considered "funny".

Uh, yeah. I've been a man my entire life and I've never ever had a problem with wanting to let my sexual urges cause harm to others. I have a very high libido even. Not once has this been a problem.

The fuck is this about?

aipatselarom · 2 months ago
Same.

Leaving aside the "If you're a man ..." condescending crap, that "cause harm to others" bit reveals a lot about the author.

Sorry pal, you're alone on that hill.
