But saying that a country can’t do anything about espionage unless they pass that law is unrealistic.
Who said that?

No I’m not conflating anything, you’re just moving the goalpost…
People can still do murder even though its illegal and most murders go unsolved, so we shouldn’t have laws making murder illegal

I would expect a meaningful data privacy law would involve forcing the client software to be audited to ensure they aren’t collecting the information in the first place?

They are while doing business in the USA
- Comment on I'm OOTL: Why is TikTok being banned? 4 weeks ago:
They all suck, yeah. I think banning individual social media services is not the solution. The solution is to create meaningful laws that hold any company, Chinese or American, accountable for data privacy and misinformation/influence violations.

I think he is wrong because being informed and aware of what has happened in the world does not equate to “mentally masturbating to disaster porn”. We do have a real problem with sensationalized media, but the solution is not to just be uninformed…
I sometimes hear similar logic as an argument against things like funding science research: “Why spend money and time on a deep space observatory? We can never get to those places in space anyway”

It didn’t happen to me personally, so it’s fine! Stop paying attention!!

- Comment on 84% of H-1B Visas Go to India and China: Is It a Scam in Disguise? 1 month ago:
I mean… they are more than 35% of the world’s population. And in order to grant visas, people must seek them. With cultural and socioeconomic factors, there is no reason to expect population from all countries to seek and be granted visas equally?
I wonder what the distribution looks like for the equivalent visas in europe and other countries besides the USA.

Kitchen fires are scarier than they are difficult to deal with, if you are prepared and remain calm. You can see in this video how quickly and easily you can contain and extinguish the fire with just a baking sheet or a pot lid. The real trouble happens when people panic or respond to the fire improperly, like splashing water onto it. It’s also smart to keep a small fire extinguisher in your kitchen, just in case.
There is also a lot of food that you can cook that will have little to no risk of causing a fire, although if you keep your kitchen clean and tidy, and use your stove burners on appropriate levels, there should be little risk of a fire anyway.

- Comment on Air fryers are simpler than you think, but still pretty neat [19:38] 3 months ago:
That would help, but I doubt it would be as effective as a real air fryer that is actively blowing air while heating it, instead of just circulating it. An air fryer gets really loud because it is moving so much more air.
