Welp, that's enough internet for the week for me

From a privacy perspective, at least in the US, any traffic outside of the country is analyzed differently than traffic only in the US. Not that it really matters much, since US gov likes to track everything, I just found it annoying watching FF connect to so many servers before ever going to a website. Seems sketchy, since harden FF don't do this

Fun game is to watch the network traffic in vanilla Firefox, long before this latest switch. Just server connections to 6-10 servers, some outside my county on immediate start up. Firefox has been trash for a long while

What a wild build setup

Would you have rather it said "pedophiles adopt and rape children" or "government fails to protect children despite background checks on potential adoptive parents and dragnet surveillance"?

I suppose I've never seen "straight married couple does evil act" it's just "married couple does evil act"

I think it was a monopoly move to avoid being broken up by the US Government, same thing happened to Google when they "became" Alphabet. It has tax and liability benefits, sketchy shell corporation tactics

But yeah the naming shower thought, yeah probably. I like that reasoning better than "metadata" and then "alphabet" since they work for alphabet soup agencies

Interesting, thanks for the heads up

So should this been done in fiat or crypto? Fiat is nice for buying groceries but crypto seems nice to save in

Hmm maybe being the only all powerful being is lonely and wouldn't that be hell if you were forced to continue existence?

So thinking on this more, there are many studies that are impossible to replicate, either due to time, money, or team size. Think about weather studies, no human lives long enough, so we have to push the belief back on the original data being accurate. Human studies that span millions of people are also hard for small teams or individuals to replicate. Also hard to have a particle accelerator for most people, so we have to trust the accelerators function properly, the data collected is not malformed and the interpretations are also correct (the last bit is what we could possibly double check if we had direct access)

I love the scientific method as well, but I think we still have some limits. Even if we had infinite time, but without infinite resources we might not be able to replicate everything "scientifically proven" (and even then, due to space time curvature, it might not be possible if infinite time and infinite resources had a fixed physical point, but that is probably Einsteinian philosophy)

Also, please prove me wrong. I'd rather believe the scientific method was 100% true, no joking.

Thanks!
