Right. Except that this did not come from directly PewDiePie or his "organization". Nor is it endorsed by him, as far as I know. This is apparently just some overzealous fans of his, who are jackasses. That last part of that sentence may have been redundant.

There are two factors here:

• Upper body muscle strength
• Upper body mass

I have a feeling most men reading this will focus on the first part, but I have a feeling the second part is the more important. If you are overweight, it becomes much harder to do a push up, regardless of how strong your arms and chest are. The correlation between obesity and heart disease is well documented. So this isn't really anything new.

Apple and Google have no investment in Telegram, why should they be expected to solve this problem?

Apple and Google, through their walled-garden app stores, have set themselves up as curators of content, and they regularly enforce things like this. They've brought that expectation upon themselves.

You can use Safari and Chrome to download pirated stuff on your phone too, but I don't see anybody calling for Apple and Google to remove Safari and Chrome from telephones.

Telegram is apparently hosting this infringing content on their own servers, which makes this much different. Obviously Telegram owns more culpability than Google/Apple here, but Google and Apple are acting against policies that they have set. Not sure how vulnerable that leaves them legally, though.

Add "perceived risk" to that list of factors. I have a feeling a lot of the people using these plugins don't realize they are infringing copyright in a way that could put them at legal risk.

See if you can figure out which sentence I accidentally put in there twice. See if you can figure out which sentence I accidentally put in there twice.

I'd call this "marketing psychology" more than "caving to outrage". For Google, users are both their customers and their product. If any part of their service potentially makes people feel bad (shamed, judged, or, god forbid, triggered), there's a chance that some percentage of them will choose a different service next time, which means less data for them to sell. I'd call this "marketing psychology" more than "caving to outrage".

AI notices patterns that detect cancer. Woot! AI notices patterns that determines crime rates amongst certain population groups! Fuq no.

Hey, cool dog whistle, bro!

Any algorithm (including AI and machine learning based algorithms) is only as good as the data you feed it. You can cite crime statistics for "certain populations", and to you, that looks like evidence for your shitty racist agenda. To me, it look a lot like evidence of the systemic over-policing and disproportional enforcement on those same communities.

Example:

Marijuana use is roughly equal among Blacks and whites, yet Blacks are 3.73 times as likely to be arrested for marijuana possession.

Mine that data, and your algorithm will likely you that drug-related crimes are significantly higher for Black people. It's impossible to remove the inherent systemic bias from those numbers, though, and, as such, they're pretty much worthless.

That was about cat4/5, the article is about overall... learn to comprehend what your betters are talking about.

The article may be about overall, but the statement I chose releates specifically to cat4/5, which is exactly what you were talking about.

Also, calm down! Holy shit! If you're one of my "betters", the world is in rough shape.

You:

That we have seen an overall increase of cat4/cat5 hurricanes is very much open to debate

Your link:

...it is unlikely that the large 80% increase in Category 4 and 5 hurricanes found by Webster et al. is real. There does appear to be some increase, but it is likely much smaller.

It appears that even the author of your "dissenting" article agrees that the data shows an increase. The only debate is regarding the magnitude of the increase.

Fuck common sense budgeting and financial planning...who needs that shit when you have millennial math and YOLO.

YEAH!!!! And another thing: these millennials are ALWAYS on my lawn! I tell them to quit it, and then, next thing you know, they're right back on there, with their hashtags and their YOLOs.

You mean like, if a gay guy wants to buy a wedding cake from your cake shop, and you refuse to do it because you don't condone gay marriage?

I know you're trolling, but the federal government has well defined protected classes, and being a Nazi sure as shit isn't among them.

I mean, in a more typical case, they would have recourse. They could just go elsewhere for their hosting and domain name services.

These specific assholes will have a hard time doing that, of course, because they are a notorious hate group, and everybody, including you, knows it. But if their status as a hate group was questionable or incorrect, somebody else would likely be happy to take their money.

Shine a light on them, don't chase them away to skulk in the dark, where they will do what they will do without anyone watching.

Do you really think their site continuing unabated as-is would be "shining a light on them"? It would just continue to give them their dark corner of the web to flourish in, while the rest of us blissfully ignore whatever racist bullshit propaganda was being spread over there.

Now, I wouldn't advocate for a government crackdown, because I'm a big believer in the first amendment, but GoDaddy and Google and Cloudfare have no obligation to provide service these hateful monsters, as they've made clear in their terms of service, so if they want to pull the plug, I have no problem with that.

It's fermented grains infused with hops, gov.

That article was written in mid-December of last year. A lot has happened since then. Also, the key words are "public evidence". I feel like I hear a lot of people here saying, roughly, "there's no evidence, so we should stop investigating."

There are some serious loose threads here, and it would be CRAZY not to pull on them and see what happens. Time will tell.
