Would it not be easy to stop the spread of intimate images through your platform?

If you have a platform for "intimate" images maybe have a record on file that shows everyone is of age and consents. If an image, or video providence can not be confirmed you don't put it up for consumption. There is no shortage of "intimate" images and it would not present a hardship or be a barrier to entry to those that want to produce or consume the content. Please, explain how it is ethical to do otherwise.

Go to image search and type in "white people" without quotes.

Now repeat the search but with "black people" without quotes.

Try the same for "white couple" without quotes.

Try the same for "black couple" without quotes.

Do you have any insight to this phenomenon?

Nonconcensual government has no place in modern society. Most people are born into countries and it makes sense to have a regular opt in vote to continue.

Most "civilized" people will starve or die horrible deaths if the current cold civil war goes hot. People who don't know how to grow crops, hunt, fish, or setup logistic pipelines. The side has military backing will end up killing a lot of people until one side gives up and by that time China and Russia will win. An armed conflict is a real loser for everyone. Lots of Americans on either side are armed and obstinate and it will get ugly fast. It might be time to visit a friendly foreign country until it all blows over, just don't expect much to come back to, wars are ugly things, and civil wars are often worse.

The only question is are we going to be flexible enough to let people go their own ways peacefully or try to hug a mountain lion until it hugs us back? The cart is being pulled in two directions and a peaceful legal separation is much better than the alternative.

No one is going to counseling and "live and let live" is dead. Irreconcilable differences between at least two factions exist.

Google/Alphabet needs to be broken apart: "The National Labor Relations Act forbids employers from interfering with, restraining, or coercing employees in the exercise of rights relating to organizing, forming, joining or assisting a labor organization for collective bargaining purposes, or from working together to improve terms and conditions of employment, or refraining from any such activity. Similarly, labor organizations may not restrain or coerce employees in the exercise of these rights."

Stop thinking of github as source control. It is source out of your control.

Decentralized source code is required.

If another entity can take your repo it isn't your repo.

If another entity can ninja commit to your repo with a bot it isn't your repo.

If your code can be taken down by a corporation or government, it isn't your repo.

Work to specification while you find a new job. Get the requirements via email or send a confirmation email for anything that you believe might be an "offhand remark".

The market is hot and jobs are currently plentiful.

Realize that a lot of the tech world reads this site so be careful.

A name generator makes the cattle herdable. Humans may remember zombie-wombat-kitten but not 3991. You might not ever interact with the machine directly but if you are hunting down an issue from log files it reduces cognitive load.

Let's take this nation wide. Why was everyone's time and interview hoops for jobs that don't pay competitive rates? Why should loyal employees stick with pay rates that are less than new hires?

Have you demanded Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd be charged for killing an unarmed woman? Have you demanded equality for the tourists, because previously AOC joined the Sunrise Movement at Pelosi's office:

In a response to the protests, Pelosi said in a statement that she was "inspired by the energy and activism of the many young activists and advocates leading the way on the climate crisis."

"I have recommended to my House Democratic colleagues that we reinstate the select committee to address the climate crisis," she said in the statement. "We welcome the presence of these activists, and we strongly urge the Capitol Police to allow them to continue to organize and participate in our democracy."

Taking people's money then removing their personage reminds me of another historical European country.

At the least they should get felony charges and spend a week in jail like the undocumented tourists of the capital.

Feds need to raid them and their data centers, and their cloud providers.
