Do-gooder derogation is a well studied phenomenon

It's not only stuff like lack of compassion. It's stuff like feeling that it challenges your worldviews, makes you feel the other person think their better for taking action you've chosen not to take, etc.

They'll react like that even against those who just try to protect themselves with a mask, just seeing it even if they're not being asked to change feels like a provocation.

It's like how Trump and Co talked about "the elites" (various experts) while being backed by the actual elites (billionaires). He wanted you to be scared of people who try to help you. Unfortunately the propaganda worked

Not for every problem, but if you're physically dangerous there's not many better solutions. We need preventive measures so fewer people end up in that state, but you can't prevent away ongoing violence.

Probably because they're shifting development work to something else. Doing it this way and making it run offline frees up developers.

Creative height is the bar for when something becomes protected (facts or obvious patterns aren't protected), and functional features of a design aren't protected. In general layouts are mostly functional (with exceptions) but button designs may mostly be expressive.

Also so many head photos taken from an angle right in front of the face or a bit higher, distorting the shoulders in ways you don't notice but which matters when the algorithm tries to splice everything together into an averaged model
