> One could rationally want the best for their country/society, but not for everybody outside of it

Her moral philosophy seems predicated on the idea that everyone is deserving of certain rights. If we're going to deny these rights to some people on the basis of birth-location, why not deny the same rights on the basis of other criteria such as race, gender, intelligence, physical health, etc

> e.g. if giving that free-pass-for-all access can decline the prospects of one's society more than the free-pass-for-those-already-in can help it

I agree completely with the above, but that's because the above is a utilitarian argument and I believe in utilitarianism. If you were to ask Anderson though, she would likely reject utilitarianism as a moral philosophy.

It's not just training time. It's also skill and intelligence, which flying requires more of than driving.
Its usually because the buyer was duped into following a fake instruction setup. The scammer will produce an official physical 'card' of recovery words that ships with the wallet, tricking the user into putting money into accounts that the scammer also has access to.
Fullstack.io | Book author | Remote | Part Time | https://www.fullstack.io/write-a-book/

Earn on order of $50k/year by writing a programming book. We’re the authors of Fullstack React, ng-book, Fullstack Vue and we’re looking to work with authors like you to write a few new books this year.

Our books sell very well because:

- We go way beyond API docs and teach everything you need to know to build real apps.

- We guarantee the books and code are up to date.

- We invest in marketing the books (and have an active email list of over 100k)

- We love the topics we write about and aim to create something remarkable every time.

If you decided to self-publish, you may find the marketing is more than writing the book. We have an audience, and we know what they want to read - so when your book is done, we already have people who want to buy it.

If you decide to go with a “traditional” publisher, you may be given a mediocre editor, write your book in MS Word (ha), and earn 5-15% in royalties. With us, our editors (me) are programmers first, our tooling is dev-friendly, and our royalties are split 50/50. (For scale, the author of Fullstack Vue earned $20k on the opening weekend.)

I’d specifically like to work with someone on Fullstack Go and Fullstack Rust - which is less about the respective languages and more like guides to building full-stack web applications with each, including third-party libraries, etc. But we’re also looking to write content about Python, Kubernetes, JavaScript, Elixir, etc. Anything up and coming.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, fill out the form linked below. Looking forward to hearing from you!

>By her argument, a free society should be equally obligated to someone unlucky enough to be born in Congo, and should afford her all the same freedoms to live, work and participate in a well functioning free society.

Where did she say that society should treat its obligations towards non-members as equal to the ones it has towards members? I can't find it.

>I personally don't support an open borders policy, but that's because I don't subscribe to her philosophy of morality.

I don't see how her philosophy of morality does either. This seems somewhat strawmannish.
In Fighting Fantasy books, you could sometimes get to secret locations this way: the book is asking you at some point to do simple arithmetic on a number gained from an earlier encounter, and jump there, without an explicit link to the page.

I have problems ordering shoes online and getting the fit right. Depending on brand and type of shoe, I can be anywhere between 44 and 46. And then the US and EU size and cm don't match up, my Onitsuka are 11-45-28.5 and fit exactly the same as Chucks, which are 11-44.5-29. But cycling shoes are the worst, and I have to buy those online, because local bike shops don't offer a huge choice. Had to return a pair of Giro two times, first size 45, then 45.5 and 46 was the one that fit. We need more standardized sizing, but how to get all manufacturers on board? And how about a 3D foot scanner and online filters which pick the correct size based on your 3d foot model?

That sounds very similar to what I experienced, my bug was that a player A plays twice in a round because it steps into a spot yielded by player B which died in the same round. My mistake was bookkeeping in an incorrect (which is only so for a few cases) way. Hope that helps.

Because nutrition, education, and healthcare require resources and effort, one cannot guarantee their availability for all without forcing labor, thereby impinging on the freedoms of others. Thus they cannot be basic human rights without forcing some degree of inequality.

One should have every right to pursue such goals, but defining these as unalienable rights is incompatible with egalitarianism.
It kind of depends on what you mean by structure. Buildings would not survive. The great perimids would look like odd hills after this stuff.

Moon is x impacts per day * 365 days * 500 million / 37.9 million square kilometers = 4815 days worth of bombardment per km squared. Each day represents 2800 kg so each square meter gets hit with ~ 13.5 kg if stuff going 17,000 m/s.

1/2 Mass * velocity squared. 13.5 kg * 17,000^2 = 1950750000j or 1/2 a ton of TNT per square meter. Except the force is conctrated in one direction so it’s closer to 1 to 3 tons of TNT for every single square meter.

Now it’s diffent because these impacts don’t happen at the same time. But they also don’t happen from a single direction so taller structure would be hit along their surface.

I am in Campbell, 1.5 blocks from a VTA hub. If I didn't want to take transit, I'd have to actively avoid it.

Three hours specifically on transit ... there is something "going wrong" such as being very far away and/or lack of planning. I assume you remember that some form of car-rental exists [the Uber-Lyft, Enterprise, Taxi, &c]; if your lifestyle really does need such things on a regular basis, then yes you "need" to own a personal vehicle. Otherwise, clearly no you do not.

And for the simple things... the average person literally cannot walk or transit for a restaurant or grocery [food deserts aside]? What have I been doing for these exact activities? And again you talk about spending hours upon hours to get somewhere not far away; do you read schedules or is your schedule that tight and urgent?

Again, ripping on San Jose//Campbell transit. You'll see me on VTA lite rail and buses being on time where I need to be. Will I be seeing you on a sidewalk confused in wonder?
It started when students noticed which of their peers are terminal-masters candidates, and when professionals noticed which of their peers went back to school as a path to promotion.

In the software field, people are expected to develop skills without handholding through school.

This applies mostly to professional software masters than to pure comouter science masters or masters of engineering.

There's also the the xenephobic angle that a USA masters degree is a common way for a foreign national (from a foreign undergraduate school) to get access to the USA job market.

Yeah, I think the vastness of geologic time has been aptly described as "geology’s signal contribution to human thought" -- the same way astronomy showed us we weren't the literal center of the universe. I think about Myr and Gyr timescales every day at work, but it's still hard to really intuitively grasp.

Obligatory John McPhee:

> Numbers do not seem to work well with regard to deep time. Any number above a couple of thousand years—fifty thousand, fifty million—will with nearly equal effect awe the imagination.

> Consider the earth’s history as the old measure of the English yard, the distance from the king’s nose to the tip of his outstretched hand. One stroke of a nail file on his middle finger erases human history.
A big dilemma for them. They need money, but they cannot demand it from their users, nor will they get enough (I guess?) by asking. Not sure what they should do. Perhaps dismantle the corporation, stick with the non-profit. I know I would pay them a monthly sub if it was just the non-profit.

Or perhaps just go for Apple and Safari, whose bottom line depends on respecting privacy.
If you are having trouble sleeping or want to improve your sleep, a sleep monitor may help your situation. While a 6-lead EEG that you would wear during a sleep study is the most accurate way to determine your quality and quantity of sleep, consumer-grade sleep trackers are accurate enough to give you ballpark numbers on your sleep.

You can start with a Fitbit (Apple Watch battery isn’t robust enough for monitoring all night). The best is to use a non-wearable sleep tracker so that you do not have to wear or remember to do anything.

I found that adjusting the thermostat down 5 degrees Fahrenheit at night helps from waking up in the middle of the night.

Also, if you want 8 hours of sleep, it means you need to be in bed for about 9 hours.
>Her moral philosophy seems predicated

Was that something she actually said or just something you inferred?

It seems pretty clear that she thinks that each society has an obligation towards its members but I didn't her mention anything about obligations societies have towards non-members.

I very much doubt that she's against, say, the right of asylum, but there's nothing there that I can see that implies that she believes France has an equal responsibility to provide for Chinese citizens as it does towards its own.
Mozilla struggles with diversity of revenue sources. They make 95%+ of their income from their search deal. That's a lot of eggs in one basket.
This seems like a good direction to modernize some old types of games that kind of disappeared. Those live action games, like “Night Trap” or the Monkey Island type point and click adventures would benefit a lot from radial/branching stories instead of the more bland spot the difference, visual puzzles, or timing based challenges of the originals.
Consolidation reduces the risk of a CA issuing a rogue certificate, probably. It increases the risk that the rogue CA is the CA that issued your certificates; in the worst case of swift revocation of the CA by browsers, that's not a fun place to be as a customer. Especially if you've done something like CA pinning (in or out of browser context)

I've upvoted you because your heart is in the right place and you're making very good arguments which people should stop to consider.

In an ideal world, people should not be discriminated against because of their birth-location. The fact that we do, is indeed a great injustice.

However, as a utilitarian, I'm opposed to open borders for utilitarian reasons. Having unchecked immigration would destroy the culture and institutions of the successful societies. They would lose the very culture and institutions that made them successful and attractive to immigrants in the first place.

I think that successful countries have a moral obligation to absorb as many immigrants as they can assimilate - no more and no less.

>>your claim was consensus rules AND hash of most recent block are necessary. this is false, hash of most recent block is not necessary for bootstrapping.

A hash of A block from a trusted third party is needed for a node to bootstrap into a PoS network. Regardless of which block that is, the same amount of trust is required. And getting a more recent one reduces the number of blocks the node needs to download.

Anyway, the point is, the difference in bootrapping between PoW and PoS is in PoS, a hash of a block is also needed from a trusted third party. In both cases, a trusted third party is needed, and if the TTP is malicious, they can totally defraud the user.
