  • I appreciate your desire for more nuance, and I support it throughout discussions.

    But the case of Bill Gates is fairly clear-cut. His philanthropy efforts are covering for shitty business practices and tax evasion.

    This is one of the reasons why people are concerned about billionaire philanthropy in the first place. It creates a good image of a savior, while serving to reduce taxes and cover for malicious investments. We would be much, much better off taking this in form of taxes and actually allocating it for good.

    I wonder - how exactly does this work?

    For all I know, service dogs primarily help blind people or those with severe mental health issues.

    The former must make working in a lab near impossible as most things are observed visually and also making an organized spot for a blind researcher must require thorough preparation and heavy assistance for every experiment. The latter might behave unpredictably, which doesn’t pair well with a lab environment, and might prompt the dog to rush to support without minding the environment, amplifying the issue.

    Also, dog is an animal, and while they can be trained to behave well, they are unlikely to remember all safety rules, especially in a critical situation where they need to focus on aiding the owner.

    I might be wrong by all points, since I didn’t ever see service dogs in a lab environment, and don’t commonly see them around, but I come from a point of genuine interest.

    The thing is, every instance is its own server (virtual or physical). If it uses Cloudflare services somewhere, well…

    If it uses some other stack, it’ll be just fine. Neither of the two instances I’m on seem to use Cloudflare and hence the experience was uninterrupted for me.
