  • “I’m usually turning around and stopping the operation to see a CT scan; looking to see what happened with the endoscopy [another small camera that provides a closer look at organs]; looking at the monitor for the heart rate,” Horgan says.

    Horgan says that wearing headsets during surgeries has improved his effectiveness while lowering his risk of injury.

    Just if it wasn’t clear to anyone else.


  • Such measurable biometric characteristics include facial features, gait, voice, or patterns in the iris of your eye.

    It is when you are using neural networks to do the matching. It’s one of the main point of the Europe Unions AI bill which outlaws the use of machine learning tools like these on citizens by goverments or compagnies. There’s a couple of exceptions mostly when it’s a national security issue.







  • We fund the project entirely from sales of the Confluence integration.

    Just to extend the conversation, the change implements one thing, it protects our revenue in the atlassian ecosystem.

    What it does it protect the future development of the project by protecting the revenue. That’s more useful to you than the license being fully open source.

    The primary losers of this change is anyone wanting to integrate draw.io into the Atlassian ecosystem.

    I mean this does seem kind of fair. I’m not familiar with Confluence and Atlassian but it seems something mostly aimed at corporations, I’m not sure of how common it’s use is and how much is affected by this though.

    I’m okay with something being 98% open source so they can survive on the extra 2%. And I much rather specific non competes for certain platforms then broad non-commercial clauses.


  • I’m talking about secret military weapons, not using nukes. I understand the amount of energy necessary to stop them, I’m picturing something that can either seed or amplify them.

    I sometimes go down the rabbit hole of crazy military weapons and past projects. I can’t imagine the amount of money they have dumped into all kinds of weather control weapons.

    It’s like the Jewish space laser thing. Clearly MTG is a crack pot mixing fear and antisemitism to flirt with her base, but what are the chances the military doesn’t have lasers up there? The government that was doing mass surveillance on the whole country shies away from adding a laser or two to their spy satellites or using natural disasters as a weapon?






  • Isn’t the problem that it’s only a one way street? And their users vastly outnumber ours?

    So you end up in a situation where you give them content and engagement but receive nothing back, since their users can’t see our content. Even worst, our own users are more likely to post on their infrastructure because of the higher count, so the servers federated with them just end up being ghost servers to hold users.

    You end up being at their whim because what you had before died.







  • They own our politicians so our options are actually very limited. I won’t be pulling the trigger but there’s little doubt in my mind that they will not stop until we kill them.

    Their actions will bring about the death of millions and a collapse of our ecosystem, so it’s not as simple as saying every life is sacred no matter what that person choses to do with it. Would you go back in time to kill Hitler, because future generations will be asking themselves the same question about oil execs.
