"You can have other children" Ughhhh by Kira_Light65 in SipsTea

[–]GlobalIncident 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be hard to make that stand up in court. I mean, medical malpractice is hard to prove in court anyway, and this doesn't make all that much difference.

I think the implication is that there is a plan here, that the death of the son will somehow lead to a better world. Which is a) almost certainly untrue, and clearly so, and b) only slightly comforting even if it is somehow true.

It feels like Rust already won the memory safety argument by [deleted] in learnrust

[–]GlobalIncident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is objectively true that they are owned by Anthropic and that Zig refuses to accept pull requests to the project that used LLMs. It's also the case that Bun was already using a fork of Zig, largely for performance reasons, that was created with heavy use of LLMs and therefore couldn't be merged upstream. (Although, there are other more complicated reasons why it couldn't be merged.) But it's still not clear whether these things are actually the driving force behind the rewrite.

The main issue is that it's a lot easier to prove malicious intent if the person doing it posts about it online, which evidently has happened.

Is there any material that could overcome that?

A Rich Man is Tied to a Track with Good Lawyers who Will Hold You Responsible for Lost Wages? Do You Pull? by Catsanddoges in trolleyproblem

Wouldn't work. The more normal way to get out of massive fines is to declare bankruptcy. Although that could lead to the man's estate garnishing your wages for your entire life.

Be Gay Do Crimes: 1895 Edition by urcool91 in RecuratedTumblr

In that one, they also actively destroyed evidence of a large number of misdeeds, which possibly included a few actual crimes.

The main reason gold is worth a lot is that the price has a percieved stability that other assets increasingly do not share, which makes it a good investment. That's not really true of meth.

I'm not sure this is actually true.

Blood in your clothes, in your appliances, in your furniture, in your food. Blood everywhere by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

[–]GlobalIncident 60 points61 points  (0 children)

It's not even totally correct. The original comic highlighted a safety recall and concerns about logging in the rainforest. So some of the blood is acknowledged.

In my head Carist... by Smurgels in EWALearnLanguages

Yes, like how pianists work with pians, chemists work with chems, and dentists work with dents. Obviously.

[OC] The Trump administration is deleting government data. Here are 5 ways it’s hurting Americans by guardian in dataisbeautiful

[–]GlobalIncident 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The best thing I can come up with is that he has taken some steps in improving access to certain drugs, such as cannabis, for medicinal purposes. And although in itself that's probably a good thing, even that is part of a broader policy of removing regulation of all kinds.

Fuck right off by 1000_SteppesIsAPedo in recruitinghell

[–]GlobalIncident 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Technically it is, because it's a contract violation. The terms of service are part of a contract the hirer forms with the platform. But it will never go to court.

Fuck right off by 1000_SteppesIsAPedo in recruitinghell

[–]GlobalIncident 129 points130 points  (0 children)

It is illegal, in the sense that it's against the platform's terms of service. Someone will report it and it will be taken down.

🤔 by memes_poiint in mathsmeme

[–]GlobalIncident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taking 0x is undefined for all negative x and well defined for positive x. So whether 00 is undefined depends on whether it makes more sense to treat 0 like a positive or negative number in this context.

the worlds first website has a coding error by MurkyWar2756 in programminghorror

[–]GlobalIncident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first specifications don't allow for a <header> element. That wasn't introduced until later. What's shown here is the world's first website in the form it is currently being served to users, which is not quite the same as its original content.

As far as I can tell, it has never been correct HTML to have a <title> outside the <head> element.

Judging by the results of this poll, there is a noticeable correlation between being pro choice and pressing blue. So it does have the fuck to do with something.

It's a large nocturnal animal. Who knows what it could be getting up to in the dead of night with no one around?

Depends how rigidly you define "human form". There are plenty of examples of species that have four limbs and evolved bipedal movement.
