There’s literally someone in this thread right now saying you can eat raw pork in America without worry…

The correct response to that is to provide the actual guidelines based on actual data, not to fearmonger while quoting lines referencing wild game.

A huge part of why commercial pork is safe – that you’re consistently leaving out – were major changes to how livestock are raised. Trichinosis transmission in pigs is primarily caused by the consumption of infected meat; US standards were changed to more strictly control what’s fed to pigs, which led to the decreased risk. The risk remains in wild boar because they’re omnivores that will scavenge whatever they can find.

145 is still a limit people need to follow, lots of people don’t.

145 isn’t a hard limit. It’s the recommended holding temperature for one minute.

The USDA and FDA, which both lean conservative in their recommendations, consider whole cuts of pork safe down to 145F (roughly equivalent to cooked to medium):

This has been the case for over a decade. Pork should be cooked but the old 160F recommendations have been gone for a long time now because commercial pork is relatively safe.

Also note that this is the one-minute pasteurization temp; meat can be held at a lower temperature for longer to render it safe.

Assuming you’re in the US, I 100% would’ve done a credit card chargeback. Bank would’ve taken your side on that one.

The wider international community has largely rejected wars of conquest as legitimate in modern times.

The exact same argument could be applied to Israel and e.g. the Golan Heights, but I don’t think you’ll find that to be a particularly popular position.

“Canceled” is a term assholes came up with to rebrand “consequences” to make it seem like something that isn’t their own fault.

Not sure I agree with this particular take. My recollection is that this usage of cancelled started in progressive internet spaces and was absolutely used to describe consequences for being an asshole.

It’s the exact same trajectory woke took – it was language used by left-leaning people that got co-opted and intentionally diluted by conservatives.

This AI ruling is also actually completely in-line with existing precedent from the photography world.

The US Copyright Office has previously ruled that a photograph taken by a non-human (in this case, a monkey) is not copyrightable:

Something like a body panel is going to expand/contract a couple of orders of magnitude more than 10 microns just from the weather changing day-to-day.

It’s SEO-optimization nonsense.

It’s why all the appeals to “what would Aaron think” with the whole API thing were really off the mark.

spez and kn0thing were college buddies. Swartz was kind of pushed onto them by YC. I’ve never had the impression that they felt any particular attachment to him; he was a business partner that became involved at the behest of the people funding them, who left in the first couple of years.

Restricts Freedom to Use the Software

I’ve always found this particular one somewhat frustrating. It’s essentially the intolerance paradox repackaged into a software licensing analog:

“You are restricting the freedom of users by taking away their ability to close the code and restrict the freedom of other users!”

It’s always read very “I got mine” to me.

That said, while I lean copyleft, I also don’t find just barring commercial use entirely interesting. The goal is to ensure source code remains available to users; I think there are better ways of addressing that than trying to delineate and exclude commercial use.
