Competitive woodcutting is extremely exhausting (I imagine) but we don't subsidize it or demand that non-woodcutters take equivalent time off to compensate.

Having children is a choice.

If you're about to say that women will be discriminated against on the basis that they might have children, it would be easy to allow them to be docked pay. This has an immediate "ugh" reaction because as a society we put mothers and bearing children on a pedestal. Having children is a bad thing for the world, and those who choose to have children are definitely the more privileged.

What fully open integrated circuit of any kind can you buy? Maybe there exist simple 74xx chips with completely open designs, taped out using open source tools, manufactured using completely transparent processes, and then independently verified to prevent backdoors? I'm not aware of any, but I suppose the military have something like this.

Anyway depending on your level of trust at the moment you could:

* Download rocketchip (BSD licensed) and run it on an FPGA. You'd have to trust the FPGA vendor and their proprietary tools like Vivado. This lets you run Linux, at a speed of about 50 MHz.

* Run PicoRV32 on the reverse-engineered Lattice 8K FPGA using the open source toolchain. You cannot run Linux on this, but you can run short C programs without libc, and given that Clifford has done a very good job fully understanding the FPGA we can be reasonably sure there are no backdoors. My experiments with this are here: https://rwmj.wordpress.com/tag/icestorm/

Best line of the fine article, in relation to the discovery by DNA testing of secret infidelity and rape:

That motif seems to be permeating deeper and deeper into every aspect of modern life.
Such a thing is typically called a deterministic password manager. One problem with it is that you can't change the algorithm. If you want to change your PBKDF2 from 1000 to 5000 iterations, then you can't login anymore on any of the services where you used this tool to set the password.

> even in western society many victims get blamed:

No they don't. Which western society? In western society ( US for example ), we presume the alleged victim is telling the truth and the accused is guilty. In western society, we release the name of the accused and protect identity of the alleged victim. Even when the courts find out that the accuser lied, her name is withheld and protected.

Don't know which "western society" you are from, but in the US, it's usually the accused, not the alleged victim, that suffer, whether the rape happened or not.

> "why was she wearing that dress?", "why was she in the club on her own if she was in a relationship?", "why did she walk through the park at night on her own?"

What? This is simply a lie. You know it.

> "maybe she went home with him and just regretted it the next day".

Because we have cases of this happening. Remember the mattress girl from columbia? We have a few high profile cases of women consensually having sex with guys and then regretting it later and then falsely accusing the men of rape.

I'm tired of the false narrative of rape and rape society of the west. Does rape happen in the west. Sure. Are rape cases prosecuted. Yes. Are rape victims ( and even false accusers ) protected. Yes. But stop lying about how we shame or attack rape victims. Maybe in the 1800s, but not today.

It's funny that the downvoters haven't really come up with a valid argument why Bitcoin is not a valid use case for this.

It's much more difficult to prove that person A transferred money to B via Bitcoin than it is via regular financial transactions due to Bitcoin's pseudonymity. Similar it's equally difficult to prevent this from happening.

Just that the you do not seem value in this (censorship-free transactions), does not make the argument invalid.

People have been calling for an iMac Pro type hardware “for years”? I doubt very seriously that anyone even wanted something like the iMac Pro before it was released.

And as rumours goes, it wasn't until a very large studio decide to abandoned the Mac platform due to Mac Pro, and someone who had connection with Apple SVPs and told hem about it, before they realise how much care they have given to the pro users.

I doubt very seriously that one studio abandoning a product line that makes less than 10% of thier revenue made Apple panic.

Apple forgot that while it was Steve jobs bumping put new strategies and initiative that changed Apple in the long run. It was these pro users whom bleed six colours that kept Apple alive in the first place.

Things change. The Mac is no longer at the center of Apple’s universe. As far as what Steve thought that Apple’s direction of the Mac should be....

“If I were running Apple, I would milk the Macintosh for all it’s worth – and get busy on the next great thing. The PC wars are over. Done. Microsoft won a long time ago”

Amazon does control 50% of e-commerce. And yes it uses merchants to get there, while charging them a nice fee.

And does it really ,fairly compete with merchants, while having full control(owning the buy box and the "sold by Amazon" brand) , full visibility into their business, and much better capabilities ? Or instead of competition , they just let merchants carry the risks of the import business ?

I gave a look at their site. If you want to own an iPhoneX + MacBook Pro for 12 months, it costs you almost 200 EUR a month. And at the end of it you have nothing. If you spent 2,400 you could get a new iPhone X + a barely used MacBook Pro and use both at least 2 years. Doesn't make much sense unless money is no issue and you really hate ownership.
> "why was she wearing that dress?", "why was she in the club on her own if she was in a relationship?", "why did she walk through the park at night on her own?"

To call these things "victim blaming" is disingenuous, I think, because it makes it sound like someone is saying that you are guilty of rape (of yourself) if you do those things. Instead, we need to separate between two acts: rape, and subjecting yourself to danger (danger of rape, in this instance). The latter is not a crime and does not make you an accomplice of the rape, and it does not take any guilt of the rapist, but it might still be stupid and blameworthy on its own, as a separate act, even if it ends well and no rape occurs. I mean, my loved ones surely would be upset with me if I subjected myself to excessive danger, or just neglected to lock my door when I left home.

The danger in question does not even have to be related to a crime. It could be recklessly climbing a mountain or a scaffold. In that case, it certainly not about taking responsibility of a wrong from a criminal and putting it on the victim – because there is no such wrong – but blame might still be reasonable.

> "maybe she went home with him and just regretted it the next day"

This falls in neither of the above two categories. It is just a hypothesis that has to be taken into account like any other.
I grew up, not with the satan idea, but was told that there was a relation between the apostle Peter and the symbol. The reason for that was that Peter was crucified upsidedown. They argued why someone would use it as a peace symbol when it was the symbol of Peter crucified. Which was a very strange argument if you think about it.
I'm not sure it really works to consider the Irish, my own recent ancestors, as ethnically differentiated from the British. The Tudors were seemingly descended from Irish Scots who conquered Gwynedd in the first millennium CE, for example. But I that doesn't matter, it's what the controlling forces at the time thought.

I'm not well versed in the Potato Famine but I understood it was primarily about rich landlords and wealthy Britons caring naught for any poor people. Confounded with "Catholic vs Protestant" tribalism.

Though Trevelyan appeared to believe strictly in hands-off pure Capitalism and didn't seemingly worry about religious affiliation ("Protestant and Catholic will freely fall and the land will be for the survivors.") which was a proxy for being "English" vs Irish.

We've switched to a different sort of evil perpetrated for different reasons on different people in a different time; the natural conclusion is that you erred in your initial claim and so are trying to bolster your conclusion with other information?

If you want to say British controlling powers have been involved in genocides, motivated at least in part by racial or xenophobic hate, then you'll get no opposition from me. But 'multiple generations coordinating to create conditions in which a famine can kill' as a mode of ethnic cleansing? I'm not seeing it in the argument you're making.

Pump storages are already all over Europe for decades. The most famous one being Kaprun/Austria, built by the Nazis in the 30ies. They are all over the Alps, as the green party lets them.

Those pump storages provide the very expensive peek electricity all over Europe, needed for the spikes in the morning and noon.

Nevada probably didn't need it back then, Hoover Dam was built for flood protection, and since then the levels are too low to work efficiently as pump storage. But since peek energy is in high demand they think it over.

While some of their ideas, like composable, modular buildings are even more feasible and relevant now, given how much fabrication occurs offsite these days, the aesthetics of the buildings can seem painfully dated (see the capsule building).

If we were to compare Metabolism to Brutalism, another mid-90s architectural movement and style, we can see how the motivations behind an aesthetic can influence it's staying power. To the Metabolists, they were making a big, provocative art project. Their goal was to envision a future, in all their violent masculinity.

In contrast, the Brutalists were concerned with providing the most practical solutions to modern problems. They did things like bordering a compound with a specifically shaped wall to limit the noise pollution of those new 'highway things,' or revealing the pipes to the inhabitants to create a sense of honest construction at a time when the workings of buildings were hidden in the service of form.

I'd argue that the Brutalist structures remain practical so long as the problems they set out to solve remain, but that the Metabolist buildings were impractical from the start because they were never meant to be.

And yet and still companies pollute the environment all of the time just not in thier backyard. Of course they care about what happens in thier neighborhood. I’m not anti capitalist by any means. I am just realistic enough not to believe the platitudes of any company - including the one that I work for. The company is just a means to provide me a paycheck. They are not my “family”, management are not my “friends”, a company will pay me as little as they think they can get away with, and they aren’t trying to change the world - even the ones that donate some tiny sliver of thier profit to charity.

I'm working on a similar project (kind of "Uber for air travel via private chartering") with a few different variables but still huge dimensionality for a set of aircraft and pilots, among them relations between airport (AP), pilot (P), aircraft (AC)

- AC can take off/land on AP (runway is long enough, runway material is compatible, flight rules are ok)

- P is close enough (by car) to AP

- P is allowed to fly to AC

- P is available during out/inbound flight

- AP opening hours are respected

- AP fees (depending on AC and passengers) are respected

- AC is available during out/inbound flight

- travel time affects many of the above criteria, e.g., faster machines might fly to different airports (more because they're still open, less because they require longer/better runways)

- when changing countries you need to go through an airport with customs

- when travelling long ranges, you need to refuel

- weights of passenger + luggage + fuel don't exceed predefined aircraft weight constraints

- You may need to fly your AC to AP1 to pick up the passengers, then refuel at AP2 and declare your goods there and deliver all at AP3 and then go back efficiently (possible skipping AP1 and/or AP2) or stay there and wait for the passengers to go back using a different AP when declaring your goods upon reentry into your original country.

I'm doing this mostly using application logic (travel planning) and postgres queries (finding travel legs) and it works well for 1k airports and 300 machines but if anyone has suggestions or questions, I'll be happy to share details.
Some people might want to test iPhone and MacBook if they are thinking about switching over from Android and Windows. Or a few app developers might want to lease it for two months for testing. Grover does not need every single person to use their service.

Perhaps it's just a weird English mature cheddar thing, but half the joy of eating cheddar is trying to make nice clean slices and eating the extra bits that crumble off. If I'm making a sandwich only half the cheese I cut off goes into it, I eat the other half.

Why do you need PR when the parties responsible for all this wrapping are corporations? It’s not the dagashi down the street giving you six layers of wrapping.

When big corporations are doing something you don’t like, you don’t use PR to fix it. We’ve had plenty of PR about recycling in the US and it’s affected consumers plenty and corporations not—at—all (except where the responsibility ends up in the hands of individual consumers, like office managers.)

No, the way to make corporations change their behaviour, is to just make a law about it. For example, a “consumer waste reduction corporate tax incentive.” It’s the bottom line that says that extra wrapping is good (for some reason); so it’s the bottom line that needs to be convinced otherwise.
