Why does an analysis of their psyche have to result in a "justification" of what they've done? What if that analysis could uncover ways to teach people to think about their victims or at least to think about the potential consequences - and thus prevent future rapes?

I agree that journalists protecting sources is important for some matters (e.g., Watergate, the Pentagon Papers). I think the allowance of anonymous sources has swung too far in the other direction, allowing for gossip as news. Journalists need to hold their sources to a higher standard and make clear that they must accept some risk.

I agree it’s a shitty prisoner’s dilemma we’ve worked our way into. As I mention, I’m not a hiring manager, and I specifically exclude myself from hiring decisions in order to prevent any of my biases from preventing any candidate from being considered or accepted for a role.

Just as you had a dependent, I have several of my own, and have to play it as safe as possible until I’m financially independent.
Perhaps the downvoters can explain why that isn't the case.
Its possible to push the majority of people so hard that you reach a social breaking point, suddenly things can go from seeming to be normal to a sudden social collapse. I lived through this during the LA Riots. The LA Riots were about a lot more than just Rodney King. The video of the King beating was the one incident that was like the straw breaking the camel's back, after suffering through massive social upheaval and loss of income for the majority of working people in LA through the 80s, the CIA using their assets to dump crack cocaine into poor neighborhoods, after 12 years of Reagan and Bush life had gotten so bad in LA for the majority of people that one video was all it wound up taking to instigate a sudden social collapse where every block in LA was going up in flames where guns were going off everywhere and the police fled the city in fear and let it nearly burn to the ground for 2 weeks before the national guard showed up. That's sudden social collapse nobody saw the 92 riots coming but in the aggregate it wasn't hard to predict if you were paying attention to statistics on the impact of Reagomics and crack on LA.

I think this is a false premise, they don't need to stay in houses, if we actually built stuff they could move into smaller condos when retired. Easier access to ammenties, less stairs, less maintenance. All my grandparents in Canada did this.

2nd option, if you firmly believe that everyone must stay in their home until death then you simple offer tax exemptions to elderly with low income for their primary residence.

I would be surprised if low income retires represented the majority of the "winners" of prop 13. Big corporations and upper/middle class landowners.
Mercury delay lines were a form of memory that predates and is distinct from plated wire memory. Plated wire memory is magnet memory, like core memory, but with permalloy coated wires rather than little permalloy donuts like the elements of core memory.

Delay line memory uses a transducer that puts vibrations into a medium in a tube (mercury) that travel the length of the tube at the speed of sound through that medium (1450 m/s) a transducer at the other end picks up the vibrations and decodes them back into bits. While the signals are being sent down the tube they are "in memory". By sending the signals back to the beginning of the tube a set of bits can be kept recycling indefinitely (120 bits per delay line in the UNIVAC I).

The UNIVAC I only had 1000 thirty-five bit words in its memory. These were store in a set of these mercury delay lines.

In my first digital design lab course at MIT there were a few old delay line memories kicking around which I briefly considered using for a project. I ended up needing only 5 shift registers of around 6 bits each so I just used flip flops to build them for the nim-playing computer I built.

The problem is the prosecutors have an incentive to rack up as many patently ridiculous charges as possible in an effort to strengthen their position in the plea bargain. Something relatively minor balloons into the possibility you could spend the rest of your life in jail... or you could take the plea and be out in a few years.

That effectively removes your right to a jury trial, particularly when the natural human tendency of a juror is to split the baby, i.e. if you get charged with 60 counts they're unlikely to find you "not guilty" on all 60 regardless of circumstances.

I agree with OP - if the crime isn't important enough to take to trial, it's not important enough to prosecute. Furthermore I would add judges should sanction prosecutors for overcharging. If I have $100k in cash I put into the bank in $5k increments that's one charge of Structuring with a potential five year sentence - I shouldn't be looking at twenty charges with a century in jail if I refuse the plea.
reading from a selected list, which implied the list is not selected by the reader who uses it, wont allow for real individual exploration, finding ones own unique combination of tastes. thats without considering that most lists generated by large audiences wont include books from ibdependent presses, difficult books, or books that do in fact offer a broader view and different perspective of subject matter. most aggregations result in watered down and untimately forgettable literature; next time you have the opportunity, ask a bookseller (preferably one at an independent bookstore) what they think of the new york times "best sellers"
What you did is point out a few real problems in our current economic reality of which inflation is one part. In no way does this say anything about how deflation solves any of them, or even leads to worse scenarios..
Think about the issues you mentioned - wage stagnation, unsustainable expectation of growth in corporate profits, systemic inequality etc. - Now ask yourself "how will removing monetary inflation and replacing it with monetary deflation affect these systemic issues, in which direction will it drive them, how and why?"
If you still come out on the pro-deflation side, I'd be happy to hear your perspective.

This is awesome.

When I was in second grade, my mom dropped us off for summer camp at a ranch in South Texas. I remember crying and clinging onto her, trying to talk her out of it but she left us anyway and I'm glad she did. We spent the next two weeks riding horses and playing in a muddy swamp and doing leather crafts. When she came back to pick us up, we probably cried twice as hard because we didn't want to leave. The next summer, we stayed for three terms (six weeks).

I hope that this German idea takes root here and an anti-helicopter trend starts in the US. I do everything to raise my two young sons (2 and 5 years) in an environment where they're allowed to take risks but it's tough because this attitude is shared by so few of their friends' parents, even here in deeply red small-town Kansas.

EDIT: Just remembered about the sweet outdoor preschool on Vashon Island in Washington State. Check this out: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/outdoor-preschool-...
In this case, there is no need for such risk taking.

As I understand it, the journalists have been supplied with copies of the specific document(s).

They can then ask the relevant administration whether the document is genuine.

If the adminsitration does not deny the legitimacy of the document, there's your proof. (These are not classified documents. There's no "we can't respond" cover for them, in this case.)

This is also a common journalistic practice.

I'd also expect them to pursue multiple sourcing for the story. Although, with the document(s) at hand, and the course I described possible, that's not strictly necessary.

P.S. I'll add that, more broadly, document sharing is not without risk. The government as well as private entities have taken to distributing "marked" documents that can be tracked back to original recipients. Not in all nor anything like the majority of cases. Just some specific ones.

That marking can be overt, or covert. The latter case can include slight variations in content that, particularly if someone has only one exemplar, can be difficult to detect and at best only suspected.

Anyway... speaking VERY generally, a central if sometimes unspoken role of ANY organization is mitigating risk to its participants.

I would not expect anything different from journalism. I would not expect people to take on unnecessary risk. When people name themselves in such circumstances, it's to accomplish something additional. That doesn't seem to be needed, here. I don't see much reasoned doubt of the story, and I've yet to see a denial from "the government".

Ok, too much caffeine, here. Sorry for my runaway keyboard.

P.P.S. I can't yet reply to your reply, but I wanted to say, "fair enough".

With the caveat I already added, above -- apparently, while you were replying -- that original documents sometimes have to be presented in an information-retaining representation, where overt or covert marking may betray the source.

(For example, the woman in Georgia who landed in jail... this past year or so. Win-something or other? The press didn't screen the documents she provided, and they were readily traced back to her. Then apparently corroborated by FBI using system access logs. Apparently, because at the time I last read about it, methodologies were not being confirmed.)
I've never heard a Sony audio product that actually sounded bad, and I've owned a lot of them, including earbuds, headphones, MP3 players, cassette players, audio systems, Blu-ray, SACD and MiniDisc ;-)

Altman says that PC is "willing to make accommodations to treat others well."

matt_the_bass quotes a definition of PC which is "don’t be a d_ck, and if you are, people will call you out on it".

These are two different views of PC. I agree with the one matt_the_bass quoted. Altman is wrong about what PC means. Much of Altman's essay depends on that wrong definition.

I read the essay. Altman is an idiot, for the reasons Gizmodo describes.

This sub-thread is an exercise in showing how absurd the 1% chance of getting abducted (on a given day) would be. Don't take it too seriously. That said, you're wrong, and nobody is ever allowed to be wrong on the internet. I will now proceed to correct you.

> 99% of the time everything will be okay

I took this as meaning that 99/100 trips are without incident. I then assumed that a kid might take a trip every day. The probability of taking consecutive 365.25 trips without accident are then 0.99^365.25 (odds of surviving the first trip times odds of surviving the second trip and so on...). This works out to 0.025, or 2.5%.

So, what I calculated is the probability that a kid will avoid accident in a year, given that only 99/100 days are without accident.

The takeaway is that a kids chances of getting abducted on a given day are much, much smaller than 1%.

I’m in a good position to help, but let’s say that I was also* desperate and starving and so were my children? If I have to choose between other kids, and my kids, I choose mine. Worse, what if it were a situation in which helping revealed the degree of my preparation, and led to looting?
I'm still relatively new at it so I'm having fun with learning various knots and practicing on a few different lengths of rope I have at my desk. Inventing a new knot would be great, but I'm not at that level yet.

It's more of a casual hobby, but knowing knots can vastly enhance other activities. The spatial challenge of learning the knots is what's most appealing to me right now.

I've got two books at the moment, the 'Ashley Book of Knots' which is a classic, and the "Everything Knots Book".

That still seems like more of a problem with overcharging and absurd penalties, rather than plea bargaining. Did you see the question about whether you would feel the same way if the charge and possible punishment were reasonable? Edit: and the comparison to guilty pleas?
Even with hypotheticals, we can still think it through as clearly as possible. If gravity is a warp in space time, and you are able to unwarp spacetime, then where are you relative to someone inside of the warp? We can set aside the whole subject of gravity and simply treat this as a math problem, involving topology. If we imagine there is a way for you to unwarp a location on a manifold then you are... where? According to all we know, the situation would be ambiguous.

Sounds foolproof, right? Well, let me introduce you to my town, where each of the tourist groups had this very same bright (sorry) idea. As the textile is mass-produced and apparently highly standardized, this results in streets being awash in ~8 hues of nigh-identical neon t-shirts (yellow, green, orange x2 each, red, blue).

Perhaps the hour mark is hyperbole - I haven’t read these books and have no desire to. But different books have different levels of linguistic complexity, and with simplistic writing I find myself reading at much, much faster rates.

In addition I find that when reading “bad writing” I have a natural tendency to (automatically) skip over long, tortured sentences that seem to be going nowhere. From reputation, “50 Shades” may qualify for that category.

It’s also possible to be both categories at once.

Neither of us want me to write an essay about Wittgenstein's notion of "meaning through social interactions" and how this applies to artistic value, but I'll summarize it thus: art needs an audience.

Now, given the vast population of the world, I'm sure there are a few people out there who are into bluegrass-rap fusion, but your friends, family and neighbors are probably not going to get much out of it.

So who do you want to make art for? Who do you want making art for you? Random strangers peicing together art from fragments of digital audio they stumble across while surfing on an endless stream of information?

What dangers of FaceID? It works great. You immediately got hysterical but apparently don’t even understand how it works.

95%+ of these cases where a very similar face can open the phone is because they trained the iphone to recognize both faces. Caused by very similar looking family members sharing passcodes, each failed attempt adds the face to the model. If you don’t want your very similar brother to access your iphone X, the fix is simple, dint give him your passcode.

FaceID is part of making phones even more secure. Most people won’t use passcodes. TouchID can’t work with gloves, wet/sweaty fingers, etc. FaceID is much easier to setup, and displays notification details without forcing you to unlock. Whichever you prefer, either allows you to have a far more secure passcode without it being a hassle.
