TIL of RHYTHM 0 : A performance art piece in which Marina Abramović stood still for six hours while the audience could do whatever they wanted to her.
  • Well yes and no. You can say that it's just the people in any experiment but past a certain point you have to be able to extrapolate the results to the population at large. And (again, if memory serves) the results of this experiment have been replicated numerous times across numerous population samples.

    Also, the point of Milgram isn't that people are fucked up, it's that people will follow orders when those orders are issued by someone in a perceived position of authority. And it's funny you mention Nazis because the experiment was Milgram's response to the "I was just following orders" defence from the Nuremberg trials.

    In conclusion: non-fucked-up people will do fucked up things if their boss tells them to.

  • Hammerhead skull
  • I think any reconstruction of a dinosaur where there is just a skull as a refence point will be taken with a fairly large pinch of salt. However, many dinosaurs look fairly similar to other dinosaurs that we do have more complete fossils as reference, so they'll end up being based on those as well.

  • Do you descale salmon fillets?
  • Yeah the stuff on the knife is scales, but the silver on the fish is just the skin. The scales are attached to that.

    I'd be really surprised if you're finding any fish in big supermarkets that still have scales, even on a whole fish but particularly on a fillet.

    You will typically find skin on or skin off fillets, and depending on the fish recipes might instruct to cook them skin side down so you can have a nice crispy texture alongside the softer flesh.

  • Do you descale salmon fillets?
  • What you're describing as scales are not, in fact, the scales. It's just the skin of the fish The scales are removed before the fish is butchered. And yes you can eat it, it's not uncommon.

  • Mozilla opposes Web Integrity API proposal
  • Is there any way to make JS safer? E.g. limiting the scope of its access to specific functions (e.g. visual/DOM changes, posting/querying a server only but no local function), or is it just inherently unsafe?

  • I know what I'm doing, I just don't care
  • EDIT: I understand your point by the way. Is it ethical to pirate things? Maybe or maybe not, but I think the stance of most people here is that pirating stuff that is produced by giant, obscenely wealthy media conglomerates is generally okay.

  • I know what I'm doing, I just don't care
  • You are discussing piracy in the context of media and copyright infringement, in which the owner of the pirated material is a corporation and the pirate is an actual person.

    By comparing the act of pirating corporate owned digital material to a fictional scenario in which one person is copying another person's physical possessions very much implies that you see the corporate owners of digital material as people.
