Agreed. Less karma than you, but I've been on the site for 12 years and still can't downvote...

This tweet is sort of misleading, the docs suggest this is basically them using an API to provide AI features: https://help.dropbox.com/view-edit/privacy-settings-dropbox-...

> Your files within Dropbox are sent to a third-party AI only when you chose to interact with AI powered features. For example, when you ask a question about a file.

Everyone knows what they are doing when gambling etc

But nowadays crypto is being pitched as an investment to the layperson who doesn’t understand the risks and isn’t being told those risks by the exchanges. It’s those folks the SEC is trying to protect.

That and prevention of larger market issues that can arise from unregulated financial services, ie FTX

This is just another dark pattern. All you need is freezing, it’s instant to freeze/unfreeze and required to be free by law.

They just hide the option on the site and make it seem like you need to pay for “locking”. I end up having to use Google every time to actually find the page to unfreeze.

(parent author) Thanks for everyone's responses. I think there are some solid examples that folks provided that definitely give me something to mull over.

Or we disallow its use so it can’t be prescribed and instead the Dr gives them Paxlovid.

Headline is a bit misleading, the important conclusion is near the end:

“Bloom thinks the researchers make a good case that molnupiravir treatment is yielding some highly mutated viruses with the capacity to spread. But it’s not clear whether this could contribute to new coronavirus variants, or whether it is simply creating weakling viruses that are unlikely to spread very far.”

If it’s the former then I imagine the case is pretty strong to discontinue usage and switch to Paxlovid.

What are you heating with specifically?

This is an important distinction to make. By omitting it your original comment seems to be purposely touting a lack of concern for personal emissions reduction.

He was likely referring to HQ in Verona, Wisconsin. I've been there, can confirm it sure looks like the middle of nowhere :)

Though this is a common issue, it is certainly bothersome when someone _wrongly_ assumes you are experiencing the XY problem and demands a lot of unnecessary information before helping you with something.

If you can pay for an alternative I’d strongly consider it. Blown insulation makes a mess of the attic. Makes it really hard to work up there if you need to get access, potentially blocks your soffits and decreases airflow, and makes it more difficult and dangerous to walk without risking falling through the drywall.

Same issue for me, I'm on Chrome Version 104.0.5112.79
