The way I read their statements is simply that the it's the binary classification problem (is the user cheating or not) that should be done server-side. There's still data collection going on client-side. Given this, actually sending more data to the client could be helpful because they could use that extra data for cheating, data that a legitimate player would never have access to.

Well, the end-goal is to stop cheating, not to detect it - detecting it is simply a means to an end. In that sense, sending more data is not ideal because even though you might be able to detect cheating more easily that way, cheaters would still have some period of time where they are able to cheat (and cheat more easily), thereby worsening the experience for legitimate players.

"Bias" here is just sentiment analysis. The report (from a conservative think-tank) is not about factual errors. Plus, the effect they find shows only for US politics, where there is really not much of a "left".

That's not how it works. When a state prosecution of a federal officer is removed to federal court, it's still the state prosecutor who's in charge. The problem is that as long as they were performing their duties they get a lot of leeway. A recent case was a cyclist killed by a DEA agent that ran a stop sign. Case dismissed: federal agents tailing someone don't have to respect state traffic laws.

Not really. We keep getting pointer-like types like std::string_view and std::span that can outlive their referents.

From what I read, blocking sunlight can hurt yields even more than the higher temperatures.

What's that have to do with it being a sovereign state? By that standard, neither Russia nor China are sovereign states.

And it's not like the US gives a shit about democracy outside its borders. The CIA overthrew Jacobo Árbenz in the 50s, supported the military coup in Brazil in 1964, pinochet and Hugo Banzer in the 70s. This is normal behavior for the US in Latin America. It's nothing to do with concern for Venezuela's citizens.

I think we can agree it's uncomfortable to read though: the font is too small, for instance. I had to use Firefox's reader mode.

Depends on your age. I remember being warned in my 20s that older people couldn't read 10pt font, 12pt was a stretch, I didn't really believe them.

Now I'm in my 40s, oh wow. Small, illegible, font is everywhere. Instructions on food is especially bad for this. At least on the computer you can usually force 125% font rendering.

Point being, the site is probably quite legible to people in their 20s.

You could scale it to 120%, font would become more readable and it would even remove the text overlap with the tilted image in part three. At 100% font looks similar in size to the one on HN, but a bit less readable, I agree.

It shows, I have to kill it forcefully over 10 times per day.

If the state "confiscated" wealth derived from capital (AI) would that be OK with you?

A part of that figure is an artifact of how strong the dollar is though.
