Consumers will definitely profit from it. Even if you buy European products from a local Japanese retailer, you are currently paying tariffs. 97% of those will now disappear.

If ordering from Amazon.de becomes more convenient is hard to say. I would assume shipping would still be expensive. There are also certain feature of a “common market” that a FTA does not provide, such as the right for consumers to sue companies in their local court, and free returns, etc.
> For reasons that escape me, artists’ misbehavior now contaminates the fruits of their labors, like the sins of the father being visited upon the sons. So it’s not enough to punish transgressors merely by cutting off the source of their livelihoods, turning them into social outcasts, and truncating their professional futures. You have to destroy their pasts. Having discovered the worst about your fallen idols, you’re duty-­bound to demolish the best about them as well.

I'm not biting.

If we're talking about artists' misbehavior, let's take a well-known example. Plenty of comedians continue to talk about the importance of Bill Cosby as a comedian, and to rate his influence up there with Richard Pryor, George Carlin, etc. These comedians profess this publicly, and I can probably find various examples from people like Seinfeld, Norm MacDonald, and many others. AFAICT it's crystal clear to their audience what they mean when they assess his comedy albums. In no way has his comedy gone down the "memory hole."

If you don't believe me, go on Amazon and search for "Bill Cosby albums" and look at the ratings. Here's the first line from the first review I found:

"No matter how you feel about Bill Cosby, given recent events, and where you might fall in your beliefs, it is sometimes necessary to separate the artist from the art."

Rando review person on Amazon gets it. Does that mean I should count Rando as a voice speaking out against the dangers of "progressive orthodoxy?"

I'd much rather count Rando as a voice repeating the thing I already knew before I started reading this article.

Seems to me the author is guilty of the same fallacy as the creationist who, when presented with new sets of fossils, only sees an exponentially increasing set of missing links. (Is there a name for this fallacy?)

Yes. As a sysadmin myself, my immediate reaction was slow jerk and "I've worked with this guy before".

But, everyone's welcome to their own opinions and hobbies. My best sysadmin laptop was probably my 13" macbook pro before they took away the ports. Built in ethernet and real USB for the KVM crash cart, which is the only dongle you'll typically need (other than, say, a usb-serial adapter, but even if you had a native serial port you're carrying a handful of console cables and adapters anyway, so the usb-serial part is hardly an additional hassle).
Often I can't even say for sure if the forecast is wrong or not.

For example, what is a 10% chance of rain at 10? That could mean 10% chance that rain will occur at some point from 10 to 11, 10% chance that it will be raining at a randomly selected point between 10 and 11, or 10% chance that it will continuously rain from 10 to 11. Also, it could be any of those three, except from 9:30 to 10:30. Also, it could be a 10% chance of raining at exactly 10.

So right there, I see 7 possible interpretations.

Add in a map, and we can apply those to an area. It may be a 10% chance of raining at some place within this region, but any one place gets a smaller chance. It may be a 10% chance everywhere in the region, but a 99% chance that some part of the region gets rain.
This is fallacious. The fact that a difference is asserted does not mean one exists. Your particular flavor of moral relativism seems to be absolute relativism. A common criticism of absolute moral relativism is that it is indistinguishable from moral nihilism. Similarly, arguments for moral nihilism are made from a stance of absolute moral relativism.

Now, there are forms of moral relativism, namely descriptive relativism, that are not the same as nihilism. These simply acknowledge the fact that different people hold different moral views, speaking to the reality of the world rather than the plausibility or implausibility of objective morals. (I would also personally hesitate to call descriptive moral relativism a philosophy since it doesn’t attempt to speak to any fundamental truth. Acknowledging that people hold different morals seems less of a philosophical viewpoint and more of an ability to make basic human observation.)

But you don’t seem to be a descriptive moral relativist. You’ve made absolutist statements about the relativity of morals, leavings me to conclude that you’re making a distinction without a difference because you don’t want to call yourself a nihilist.

If you can provide some practical difference between absolute moral relativism and moral nihilism, please do. I’ve been unable to find anything that draws a meaningful difference between the two except that the absolute moral relativist says you can evaluate moral statements in the context of an arbitrary moral framework, and the moral nihilist says, sure you can, but it’s arbitrary so it doesn’t actually mean anything. Everything else seems to involve painting nihilists as morons incapable of recognizing the reality of cultural norms (“Moral nihilists say you can eat babies for breakfast!”) in a weak attempt to draw a meaningless distinction because for some reason “nihilist” is seen as a worse label than “moral relativist”.

To the extent that moral relativism is a spectrum, moral nihilism simply seems to be the stronger end. The weaker end is just observation and the middle is a lack of willingness to firmly accept or deny universal morality.

SEEKING WORK | USA | Remote

What I Do

I work with established businesses to solve their problems through custom software. Typically this is building a customized CRM to store and act on your specialized data once you’ve outgrown spreadsheets and off-the-shelf CRM products.

I can take you from initial problem realization all the way to a minimum viable solution, with maintenance and further enhancement available once the solution is in use. I have over 7 years of professional experience handling everything from small one-trick-pony billing apps to CRMs that manage an entire company from the ground up.

I don't just build something and then disappear, I want to be a long-term partner that grows your business.

What I’m Looking For

Part-time, slow-burn projects. I’m aiming for no more than 10 hours/week on any particular project (though that’s flexible if the price is right). I prefer fixed-fee engagements, but depending on the project a monthly retainer would also be acceptable.

What I’m Not Looking For

* Full-time "whale" clients that need undivided attention to their project.

* Equity

* Brand-new businesses

I'm scheduled to speak at NERD again in March to talk about incrementally applying mature programming practices (unit tests, CI) to a codebase that's missing them. It's based on a series of blog posts I wrote last year called "Resurrecting a Dead Library." [2]

I'd also like to speak at Python or DevOps conferences about why I think good developers fall into traps that cause them to write bad tests.[3]

"Are you suggesting that reputable newspapers are making up unnamed sources or are too careless to privately confirm that they're real?"

It's a possibility, yes. Are you denying that possibility?

"That trusted-to-be-accurate-and-confidential third party is the newspaper itself."

That's not a "third party", by the very definition of "third party". Unless you're suggesting a newspaper (or other publication) that's entirely disconnected from its journalists and editors?

Not even in space time. If you consider the age of this planet, hundreds of thousands of years is still a tiny slice of time - especially given that even if you accommodate the possibility that humans have been around possibly only for a few hundred thousand years, in the grand scheme of the 4.53 billion years of existence of earth if reports are considered accurate, it's a blip on the radar, we barely even existed.

As manipulative as Google can be, we should keep in mind that Google Maps is incredibly useful and we get to use it for "free". Yes we pay with our data and privacy and Google can do a better job of making that transparent but we can only get so upset when we don't get the full version of a product when we don't want to give our data.
80% of CDN exports go to the US and so a deal with the EU won't be creating that much value. We trade a lot with China otherwise.

"There are still so many things that are ridiculously expensive in Canada for no rational (long term) benefit to either party assuming it was a real market"

This is because Canada has what some might describe as an inefficient economy, ruled by a small cabal of oligarchic players.

We have maybe 6-7 banks nationally, each with a different coloured logo, but with the exact same services!

There are other reasons of course.

Also, Canadian national policy has always been about 'peace and stability' over market ambitions, so 'somewhat higher pr ices might literally be the price we pay for that.

So how does that explain the high cost of our networks vs other countries? I'm not convinced a regulated oligopoly is the only positive option.

If anything it's only positive for:

a) the private friends of government who profited when the business was kept 100% Canadian

b) the intelligence agencies who were given plenty of access.

Most of the ownership capital went to a small group of millionaires and billionaires. Meanwhile the jobs/network/other taxable services would still exist in Canada regardless of the nationality of the original investors.

Plus the wireless networks continue to be very closely controlled in these companies favour. They only recently allowed a single competitor into the marketplace in Canada, Freedom Mobile, and they have the best pricing with tons of data. The main monopolies still have nothing comparable price-wise - their only edge remains their network investment which will diminish over time absent more gov intervention.

But even getting Freedom Mobile, which had plenty of foreign investors, to be a thing was a huge controversial, challenging, multi-year deal, which was extremely risky for its investors because the Canadian regulatory agencies were very close to nipping the deal under extreme political pressure from the entrenched companies.

How exactly do we as citizens benefit from this?
i don't really think your pernicious pedophile is a good example of ill-gotten gains.

a crime lord who makes $10mm through illegal ventures has no claim to that money once they are convicted. the money was made illegitimately, so the government can just take it. your pedophile, on the other hand, has done one great thing and one terrible thing for/to society. I don't think that means it should be the purview of the patent office to punish them. instead, why not give them a fine proportional to the offense (ie huge) in addition to jail time and let them use most or all of the profits to pay it?
No not at all. They negotiate like two normal entities. But I think it is funny to have a nuclear power being scared about a line in a contract it signs. It can just declare: I ignore that line and then wait what the other side will do. The worst case is that the EU is also breaking the contract - maybe completely - which is then ... the same as no-deal.
I'm in UK. Perhaps they have a different one behind the counter? The "sudafed max strength" (presumably they added caffeine to make you think it was working?) I have only has phenylephrine.

[The inefficacy has been reported for a long time, eg https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/19230461/ .]

Edit: just checked, it seems out of the 30 or so "Sudafed" there is one with pseudoephedrine, the key phrase in the otherwise identical packaging is "clears catarrh". Woohoo!

So "max strength" means "no better than placebo", lol.
Yes, there is the question of putting our research money where it could do the most good, but that doesn't mean that it also isn't thoughtful commentary of the difference between better and worse science. One would think that good science would not bother coming up with misleading excuses to spend money on an experiment where there is no strong reason to believe it could result in the discovery of anything important.

> I am not disputing the moments before and during.

You mentioned a fact was a matter of people interpreting a narrative. "While you say the narrative is wrong, many feel the narrative was right." That is not how facts work.

> There is no doubt the events going on were a powder keg of problems waiting to tip off.

Nobody is discussing whether there were "many problems".

We are debating whether children surrounded and intimidated an old man as reported by the Washington Post. We are doing so because WaPo was cited as an example of 'real news'.

That did not happen. WaPo was wrong.

> This is not a matter of scientific facts being disputed

Do you think the boys surrounded and intimated the old man?

You keep discussing unrelated issues without specifically answering whether you believe this happened or did not happen.
Sound more like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubella to me. In my school only girls received it. "It is recommended that all susceptible non-pregnant women of childbearing age should be offered rubella vaccination."

All second guessing. Contacting UNICEF might be advised.
> That list of school shootings includes someone firing a gun near a school, and someone shooting a cat a 3am, as well as an officer discharging his gun negligently. Nice list, not hyperbolic at all.

All of those things would make national news if they occurred in the UK.
