LinkedIn was a failure with few users until they violated privacy and started sending spam emails and invites to people's contacts.

I worked at place where sending an email to an internal email address would set off an alarm. Corporate would send phishing tests to it. I tried several times to explain that they were wasting my time and jeopardizing a live production environment, and that emails to this specific address were meant to signal a catastrophe. They didn't listen so I made every machine in the company open their fake phishing link and called HR saying I clicked on a link they sent me and somehow it must have had a virus because it somehow took over the entire building. It was a fun day. Head engineer thought it was hilarious. They stopped phishtesting.

It doesn't have to be a race to the bottom...

Playing at 2x makes a 30min video 15minutes. Scrubbing reduces it to the 30 seconds of actual content in that video.

The only time I find faster playback useful is for online courses without much filler in them.

It's a disservice to have kids focus on using AI instead of learning how to think algorithmically/programmatically, which is a skillset that transfers over into all aspects of life, including getting more out of AI.

If kids are taught to offload problem solving to AI before being taught how to think for themselves, then we've basically turned children into NPCs.

This has as much to do with AI as the perpetrators' favorite foods do.

so they make browser extensions, get good reviews then change the code to be malicious. That tactic as old as software itself.

SmartTV's do.

If you notice I never said they didn't use a a valid definition, I asked when this definition came into being. That's why I posted the etymology I did. And I stand by this not being the most common usage of the word.

*insert personal attack here*

Yea, but when? This is far from a common usage of the word, and the article even stretches the usage of working diligently.

If your company asks you to harm people, should you be conscientious of working hard or of the people you are being asked to harm?

conscientious(adj.) 1610s, of persons, "controlled by conscience, governed by the known rules of right and wrong;" of conduct, etc., "regulated by conscience," 1630s, from French conscientieux (16c.; Modern French consciencieux), from Medieval Latin conscientiosus, from Latin conscientia "sense of right, moral sense" (see conscience).

conscience(n.) c. 1200, "faculty of knowing what is right," originally especially to Christian ethics, later "awareness that the acts for which one feels responsible do or do not conform to one's ideal of right," later (late 14c.) more generally, "sense of fairness or justice, moral sense."

This is from Old French conscience "conscience, innermost thoughts, desires, intentions; feelings" (12c.) and directly from Latin conscientia "a joint knowledge of something, a knowing of a thing together with another person; consciousness, knowledge;" particularly, "knowledge within oneself, sense of right and wrong, a moral sense," abstract noun from conscientem (nominative consciens), present participle of conscire "be (mutually) aware; be conscious of wrong," in Late Latin "to know well," from assimilated form of com "with," or "thoroughly" (see con-) + scire "to know," probably originally "to separate one thing from another, to distinguish," related to scindere "to cut, divide," from PIE root *skei- "to cut, split" (source also of Greek skhizein "to split, rend, cleave"). The Latin word is probably a loan-translation of Greek syneidesis, literally "with-knowledge." The sense development is perhaps via "to know along with others" (what is right or wrong) to "to know right or wrong within oneself, know in one's own mind" (conscire sibi). Sometimes it was nativized in Old English/early Middle English as inwit. Russian also uses a loan-translation, so-vest, "conscience," literally "with-knowledge."

You have more hope in diet...

I agree nutrition and exercise are the most important and best solutions even if the problem is lack of lithium in our diet.

The problem is our food is less and less vitamin and mineral dense every year.

Our soils are depleted of minerals, and hydroponic fertilizers typically contain even fewer.

It is sadly possible to eat exactly the foods you should, but still be vitamin/mineral deficient because of this.

I highly recommend a book called Soil, Grass, and Cancer. It's available from libraries free online as it's out of print. We've known for over 100yrs the connection between depleted soils, sick livestock, and sick people. The most effective treatment was fixing the soil, not supplementing the livestock, and not supplementing the people.

I wish them the best, but I also don't feel very sorry for people that hop the fence at the zoo and get mauled by tigers. Like you should know better, and there were signs all over the place warning you.

This is Identity Governance in action imposed on the mass populace under the guise of protecting children. All transactions will be linked to identity, from packets to currency.

Visa and Mastercard both still serve pornsites. They are doing this in an attempt to kill competition in the adult space. If you read threads on some of the gaming sites, many simps have used adult games to rid themselves the habits of camgirls, etc.
