Assuming you are landing on a horizontal surface, it's only the vertical component of the fall that you have to worry about. A fall from 2 meters accelerates you to about 22 km/h (27 km/h for 3 meters). Helmets are design to protect you from a 2-3 meter fall onto an anvil (depending on the standard). As long as you don't hit anything vertical (the curb, a telephone pole, a car, etc), a helmet will give you good head protection no matter how fast you are going (and will also give you some protection against abrasions).

Depending on how fast you are going, a helmet may even help for hitting things. Quite a few people don't exceed 25 km/h on their bikes, especially in city situations. Similarly, if you are aware of a dangerous situation, then slowing down may give you some protection. It's absolutely not going to help if you are bombing along at 40 km/h and get doored, but at that point, nothing really will.

"People are always means not ends.", albeit a very false sentence, is a good-enough approximation of how we interact as peers. Animals that do not qualify as people, do not fall within this model. Their needs, wants and pains are irrelevant except to the extent that others' ends make them relevant; and they lack the ability and agency to act with reciprocity towards us as we do to ourselves.

To add another data point to the discussion -- I recently discovered that the bail system is sometimes used as a tool to force women into prostitution; see https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2018/jun/29/r....

TLDR is that pimps find women who are up for bail, offer to bail them out, and then threaten to rescind the bail if they don't start working for them.

It seems like the easier fix would be to forbid a bail payment from being rescinded once it's made, but removing bail entirely also solves the problem.

You're kind of proving their point. Labor has historically been a government and capital versus the employed. How many times has the national guard been called to quell an executive uprising? None because executives always hold the power and moneyed interests always run the government. The only change in this in the US was the brief history after WW2 where FDR and Truman wielded outsize political power and the country saw the ills of the gilded age because of the enormous impact felt by the average person during the great depression. To answer your question directly there are most definitely executives tied to organized crime. Organized crime is more organized now and less violent. The Sopranos is basically based on this. The industries that organized crime generally controls are blue collar industries. People don't need to disappear anymore, they just look like regular deaths.

I'm skeptic about virtual tourism.
We already have 4K HDR screens that display gorgeous pictures, but people still go to the museum to admire paintings.

Tourism is more of a social act than a content-consumption one. People brag when they go to the museum, but never when they binge-watch paintings at 3 AM on the Internet.
The big problem with email lock-in is that when you switch providers, you can't take your old address with you. Best case, you can set up forwarding. Worst case, if your account just gets deleted, or the provider goes out of business, everyone who only knows your old address cannot contact you anymore.

This, in turn, means that even when considering non-free email service providers, you need some reassurance that provider will be around and will not institute crazy policies in the future. Which favors large providers like Google over smaller ones, and reinforces the lock-in.
Well the good news is that Facebook seems to be incapable of actually deleating anything so I’m sure this data is not lost forever ;)

As usual, this is only valid if every contributor has agreed to the relicensing. Otherwise the project maintainers are infringing the copyright of the contributors by violating the license granted to them by each contributor. I see this all too frequently. It's scary the legal recourse people open themselves up to by not understanding licensing.

That aside, I know very little about these companies involvement in "ICE" and there's no references given. I imagine there are others like me who would like to better understand the situation.
You need to get a megaphone. Everyone needs to hear this.
It's still the MIT license for other people though. Licenses are a contract between a licensor and and a licensee. OSS requires the Licensor to provides the license in a non-discriminating way, and some licenses, like the GPL, explicitly enforce this. But the MIT license itself has no such provision. You could license a project with MIT to user A, and not to user B.

This is all just rule-bending though. I'm very conflicted on this issue. On one part, I agree with the sentiment that this is against the spirit of open source. On the other hand, I do like to see the software community taking a political stance, and using action in an attempt to enact change, on such issues.

Say I work for WeWork and travel for work. I have a limited palate and like almost nothing that could be considered vegetarian and even less that would be vegan. I am now required to pay out of pocket for all my meals, when normally I could choose to eat at home, which is not possible thanks to my job requiring me to travel. Depending on the area I'm travelling to this could be a large expense that under normal conditions the company would cover, but because of the politics of the founders it isn't.

The arguments I've heard usually talk about how companies often don't pay for alcohol (which I think is also ridiculous, if I'm travelling for work I will be stressed and could use a nice drink to relax after the day). The flaw is firstly that food is required to live, and also just because some company doesn't have to provide for $ITEM doesn't mean it's not a nice thing to do for your employees.

I did read what you wrote, but it's incorrect because you can't create a valid certificate for a domain you don't control.

> If the malicious site uses the valid domain and a spoofed cert for that domain it cannot tell the difference and will establish the very same trust. The browser has no way of knowing if the requested domain is hosted from the appropriate IP address.

In your scenario, the browser receives the spoofed certificate. The domain matches, but when it checks the certificate chain against its root certificates, it can't find a matching signature. Because of this, the browser knows the certificate hasn't been signed by a certificate authority it trusts, and it throws up that warning page about visiting an unsafe site.

Your Wikipedia article (and my earlier caveat about the server's private key being compromised) refers not to spoofing a cert, but to the CA being tricked into signing a certificate for a party who doesn't control the domain:

> In particular, it is always vulnerable to attacks that allow an adversary to observe the domain validation probes that CAs send.

In this case, requests to that specific domain would be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. However, it's outside the scope of TLS, which only ensures security in transport when neither the client nor the server have been compromised; it has nothing to do with securing private keys or verifying control of a domain in the first place.

> Get dangerous people... off the street faster

In the new system, dangerous people won't be released, regardless of how much money they have.

Bail means that poor dangerous and poor non-dangerous people are detained, and rich dangerous and rich non-dangerous people are released. It's not clear to me that the reason you stated is actually produced by the bail system.

> Get people to show up for trial

I'd be very interested in some numbers backing this up; surely there is some effect here, but I have no idea if bail would make 1% of people or 99% of people show up that would otherwise skip a court appearance.

My gut feel is that if you're impulsive enough to skip a court date and incur a police warrant, the threat of losing your bail bond isn't going to make much of a difference.

I did a quick Google search which brought up this paper from the 70s:

https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/Digitization/32349NCJRS.pdf

"A random sample of 756 defendants released on bail in Charlotte, North Caro1ina in 1973 was studied to determine the relative importance of various factors in determining the likelihood that a bailed defendant will fail to appear in court... The most important factors were found to be court disposition time (the amount of time between release on bail and court disposition), criminal
record, and form of bail...
Comparison of various forms of bail were made, adjusting simultaneously for criminal history and court disposition time. Forms of bail that rely solely on the threat of financial loss to ensure appearance in court proved to be the worst in terms of rates of nonappearance and rearrest. "

I'm sure there's a criminal justice system expert around here that can comment on some more recent research.

In some cases it may remove a significant portion of the money the accused might flee with. In others, it can provide social constraints that are more binding than legal ones. For example, if your parents but their house (or a large portion of what the sale of it would net) up as collateral for your bail, you may be less inclined to flee if it would financially ruin them.

The “block” in blockchain is due to it being a byzantine fault tolerant replicated state machine. If it were centralised there would be no need for a block. That may be the main distinguishing characteristic. Git is another example of an application running on a hash chain, but it doesn’t have blocks because it doesn’t require a slow / costly consensus process.
I started building a shed this winter:

I'd say it's an excellent way to get a feel for what it takes to build a home. There are a TON of details, especially if you don't want it to rot.

If you intend to heat it in the winter, be sure to consider the effects of condensation. I made the mistake of building my first shed without proper ventilation, and it was like indoor rain when I turned on a space heater. For my second, more permanent shed I've followed building codes for real homes to avoid making any more big mistakes like that.

So true. My goal with learning to play chords from symbols is to look at a chord progression and be able to play it without too much trouble. Not really for performance or anything, but to help with composition.

So perhaps a good approach would be to do the Anki spaced learning sessions in front of the keyboard and actually play the chord as the answer. I may not become a great real time sight reader, but being able to see a chord like C+9 / C95 and be able to play it a second or two later should be good enough.

Thanks for the advice.
I wasn't criticizing you. I just wanted to add clarity.

I likewise don't think Jones or his ilk deserve a free spot on primetime television or editorial column in a major newspaper or journal, nor do I think any media network owes it anyone to the extent that they need to provide them with a platform. Seems more in that camp to me.

Now that we're here, I do disagree with using the poem to defend the ideological kin of those he was discussing. If the group hadn't listed Jones amongst their list of the prosecuted then this wouldn't be a point of concern for me, and I'd think you had a point by employing the poem.

I think we're getting off the subject of the main thread, and the discussion surrounding your latter point is another separate and rather large one. I'm not sure we'd get very far here. But cheers.

I suspect the idea is, if this restriction is used widely enough, Microsoft themselves will have their legal department be sure to restrict usage of the given packages purely as a CYA move. Similar to how so many companies are allergic to the AGPL.
