Rich people die all the time, in hospitals. Nobody pays much attention.

The reason an imploding sub is getting attention is that sub implosions don't happen every day. There were no millionaires aboard the Kursk, but everybody was talking about it after it imploded.

Tragedies on private subs are even more rare. When non-millionaire Kim Wall was murdered aboard the Nautilus, it got plenty of attention even though plenty of other people were murdered that day.

A sample size of 2090, as in this study, is large enough to bring the margin of error down to 2%.

Furthermore, there is no need to speculate about who they polled, because this information is available. Questioning the results of the poll is as unreasonable as 2020 Trump supporters questioning every poll that showed Biden with an advantage.

The article was rewritten. Note that the linked url is still:

Whatever that rule is, I bet the mods at /r/interestingasfuck are ready to enforce it.

/u/spez isn't trying to win a popularity contest, he is trying to maximize his $$$ from the upcoming IPO. Even if it succeeded in smearing protestors, a self-hack isn't going to help him there at all. In fact quite the opposite, since it saddles Reddit investors with more potential liabilities.

Incorrect.

The current data agreement between the US and EU is neither a law nor a treaty. It is an executive order, which means it did not pass through Congress and simply reflects the policy of the current administration. Like any other executive order, it could be ignored or overturned by a subsequent administration.

Furthermore, it does not mean "GDPR is actually the law in the US". It means that the current US administration will cooperate in enforcing certain privacy rights against US law enforcement and the intelligence community. It does not give EU citizens the same rights they have in the EU under the GDPR. For example, it does not allow private individuals to sue US companies for damages in US courts.

That's like saying Microsoft and Sony need to settle on either "Gamertag" or "PSNID", because otherwise Call of Duty players trying to find their friends online will be confused.

I think users can figure things out.

That's how all reputable election polling was done in 2020. For example, if you take a random sample that happens to be 52% men and 48% women, it is completely appropriate to overweight the women's responses to match their actual percentage in the US, 50.5%.

In fact, in the 2020 election there was a bunch of Trump supporters who had the same doubts as you, and they would "unskew" polls with 52% men responding to give them 52% of the final weighting. Lo and behold, their "unskewed" polls showed Trump in the lead. But the proof of the method is in the election results...

This is a good article on whether non-EU websites have to obey the GDPR. It boils down to two criteria:

If your business is offering goods or services, irrespective of whether a payment of the data subject is required, to such data subjects in the EU

or

If your business monitors the behavior of EU citizens and their behavior takes place within the union.

The latter includes use of advertising cookies, location tracking, etc.

If neither of those apply, you can probably ignore the GDPR.

The options will continue to be available through registry keys.

It was a private message. It's not going to be actionable as defamation.

not with a bang, but a butthole

On the contrary, it's often both.

I put on my shirt from the top down.

But I put on my pants from the bottom up.

Your phone was most likely made in China. And unlike Lemmy, that most likely means that some of your money was sent to China. But it still doesn't mean that using a phone demonstrates support of the CCP.

Spammers are one thing, but users should not be banned for repeatedly stating an opinion. After all, plenty of us have repeatedly said that /u/spez is an ass.

It's silly to judge a polling outfit solely on the politics of their CEO.

FWIW, 538 gave Harris a "B" grade with 83% accuracy in 2020. If anything, Harris seemed to overestimate Biden's support (eg they predicted Trump would lose FL and NC).

It's the ocean depths, not the surface of the sun.

Gas is compressible. So if you stepped into the water without any protection at extreme depth, every gas-containing part of your body would be crushed. That includes your nose, mouth, ears, throat, lungs, bowels, and most of the bones of your face.

Liquids are not very compressible. So the liquid parts of your body, like your eyes, brains, blood, and limbs, would not be affected very much. Maybe they would shrink almost imperceptibly. The same is true of the bones not in your face.

The final result would be a an oddly-smushed looking corpse, not a cloud of vapor.

Incidentally, this is why deep sea divers can swim at depth. They breathe very high pressure gas into their gas-containing parts, which thus remain inflated despite the pressure of the water.

If you want to command something in the water, you run a wire from that something to a receiver in the cabin.

So it's like Stellaris with New Horizons/ New Civilizations

That's equivalent to one metric bag.
