I believe the term for what you just did is 'victim-blaming'.

The alt-right label, for example, has fuzzy boundaries, and this is leveraged to apply that label to anyone without feeling the need to verify the accused's position or statements in more detail. It could be argued that the right has similar issues around applying the label of 'communist', 'socialist', etc.

The intent in these cases is to cordon the accused off, lighting a signal flare that their ideas are too extreme to be worth considering. This causes real harm to real ability to discuss things in the moderate spectrum if everyone is being labeled as being at the edges.

This is one possible ideological argument. There are many successful alternatives based on culture, clan, tribe, and family units making these decisions, rather than primarily parents. There are highly individualistic ideologies and highly communal ones, and a continuum between them. It's easy to criticize any extreme example, but right vs wrong is just binary logic and isn't that interesting or relevant. The consequences are what matter, and those are complex, much of which are neither good nor bad.

Ownership of children is baked into most language. The language reflects the relationships. My child. My mom. My sister. My dog. I wouldn't call that psychological damage but I would call it programming. I also wouldn't call it either right or wrong, it merely is so, and there are consequences that follow. A good deal of that is stability.

Brave New World is but one example of disrupting these units and relationships.

Japan having 85 million people in 2050 is no more alarming than France having 67 million today. Why would it matter whether Japan has 100, 80, 60, or 40 million people? They're at no risk of literally disappearing and 85 million is still a lot of people for that island to support.

Ideally you want your population to contract, while you increase per capita well-being through productivity gains. Each person gains, while the society eases up on the pressure it exerts via resource demands. There are few exceptions, perhaps countries like Estonia which are already tiny and still contracting (where a stable population might be preferable).

Adding people is one of the worst things most nations can be doing at this moment in history. Overall economic growth (almost always the argument used to push for expanding population at any cost) is not inherently valuable, it's the per capita growth that is the best measure. You want greater output per capita and to accomplish it using fewer resources.

Just ask France and the UK. They've added 10 million people to their collective population since 2006. They've produced zero per capita economic growth in all that time. Their citizens are wildly unhappy about what's going on as one would expect. The elites have done well, while most people have seen their wages and standards of living stagnate for decades. That path isn't going to sustain much longer given the current climate. It's going to require a refocusing on per capita well-being, instead of trying to grow the overall economy at any cost. Most developed nations, including the US, are in the same boat.
Waze feels more like the R&D app for maps. It doesn't shave seconds or minutes off my time, but what it does do is constant A/B testing to see if another route could be faster. I know the area fairly well and I routinely ignore the route Waze wants to send me unless there is a clearly identified problem on the normal route, and when it re-routes to the path I chose, it's a minute or two shorter. Why did it try to send me down the slower route in the first place? Waze pulls this crap routinely.

I'm simply pointing out that nuclear power has by far the best land-use:power-generation ratio available to us. Japan is geographically constrained. It insults the intelligence of his readers for the author claim that had Fukushima been populated with renewables instead of nuclear, everything would have been fine. Sure, there'd have been no meltdown, there also wouldn't be enough electricity either, so it's a silly argument.

I think a better argument (which you're alluding to) is that for $1T, Japan could have purchased the electricity it needed from its neighbors and avoided the catastrophe altogether.

You make a valid point that this places additional burdens on defense. However, I feel like such openness is still better than allowing prosecutors to cherry-pick information to provide, or "accidentally" leave out a chunk of data, or require repeated specific motions to request each detail as the defense becomes aware of it.
I feel like some people have vastly different sensitivities to doing pointless things. There are some people who would see items like that on the checklist, and go, okay, it's a minute to check that, no big deal, I'll do it and get on with my life. There are people who look at it and are almost offended that their time is being wasted by process. I don't really know what to DO about this, but I do find it's one thing that makes collaborating difficult when a group has members with vastly different tendencies in this regard.

Weird to see anyone talk about "good old" Unity.

I'm getting old enough to belive you.

For me however while I can believe it I really really cannot understand it: it broke my workflow in a number of ways by default and unlike Gnome 3, Unity was next to impossible to reconfigure to something I could use productively.

It is actually somewhat of a learning experience for me to see something I almost despised be missed by a number of people.

I think two easy conclusions should be "different strokes for different folks" and "make your software configurable".

I can understand that GNOME wanted to migrate off of C for the non-core things, so they cut down features. Now if you need something you can write a plugin in JS.

It has advantages, and of course disadvantages too. (The expressiveness of the plugin API is naturally lacking compared to possibilities of built-in features, but with time that can/will change.)
Iknow. Honestly, I think it's THE RIGHT WAY(tm) to do distributed systems. So, I wonder why they are not teaching this.
I come to gardening with the same attitude. Basically if it doesn't grow well in my temperate climate then I just grow something else next year. Tomatoes, mint, and squash all grow like weeds and are super easy, peppers are finicky, and leafy greens are a battle against aphids.

That said, I know plenty of other hobby gardeners who treat their gardens as an exercise in optimization. Heck, I even know one engineer with a grid of (legal) marijuana plants who varies the nutrient composition of the soil in each planter to play with his quality/yield.

I think this poster is talking about baby monitors. The new ones let you view your kids from any phone or tablet on your account. With many of these devices, that image/audio gets sent to a remote server and then back to your house. Very few keep this information on your local network even if both devices are on the same Wi-Fi.

That is very troubling.
I mean we could argue that a different material would solve the problem too, although yeah just making it longer also solves the problem and makes more sense.
> We are talking about industry practices that have been around for two or three decades now and precede the development of various wireless standards created by the SSOs.

That's an eternity in tech years but barely overnight in court years. An individual court case can take a decade to come before the Supreme Court, and first that case needs to make it into court to begin with and then not be settled (as the vast majority are) before the court has the opportunity to set a precedent.

And Congress typically doesn't get involved until after the courts have done something sufficiently problematic.

> We are not talking about at the baseband level, but there are also many others who operate at different level (ie, Skyworks) which complicates the licensing. If we are to follow SSPPU, SEP holders would have to go after everyone from end device makers (Apple), to baseband chips (Qualcomm), to power management chips used in baseband chips (Qorvo), to etc... as QCOM's patent portfolio covers many different areas of wireless communication. The end-user device is one single aggregation point that embodies all patented features and where royalty collection is simpler.

Isn't the baseband chip the SSPPU in all of those cases? How is that not the single aggregation point?

> Sure, if QCOM can demonstrate that QCOM's patented features are...

The point is that they can't. Otherwise why do two devices with the exact same wireless capability, even the exact same wireless baseband chip, have significantly different prices?

> Yep, Apple's iPod Touch is almost at feature parity with the iPhone, but without QCOM's patented features.

Not just without Qualcomm's patent features, without the entire wireless standard that they cover. The whole point of treating standards essential patents specially is that compatibility with the standard is worth significantly more than the contribution of any individual company's patents, because it's a holdup for the ability to implement the standard and communicate with the cellular network.

I tend to be fairly permissive, but having a 5-year old walk a couple blocks (by definition, crossing at least one street and likely multiple) is not on the right side of the risk spectrum for me.

The worth of a single CPUh on a cluster is roughly 0,1€. That's a 30k€ donation from google. Weird that they put this number at the front.

My guess is that they run on a large number of CPU cores. On 1000 cores, it's already 300 million CPUh. Really, to put this into relationship, on many clusters you get 100k CPUh for free when you apply for getting access, just to test your code. That's why 300k CPUh is not much.

"afford" is relative. If a tracker is cheaper than the expected loss value (replacement value X percent chance of losing an animal), it makes sense to track.
Tracker also enables GNOME Shell's search feature, which provides search results for applications and files, and returns values from supported applications (e.g. GNOME Calculator) and extensions.

>To me, as someone who actually wants to use the software

Oh, is that what I'm doing? Gosh, all this time I thought I was doing meaningful work using the software.

>woefully unstable

Is that really your experience? I mean, I run OSX on all the machines in my house, and work in it all day every day, and I haven't found it to be unstable at ALL. It might not be as rock-solid as it was 5 years ago, but it still manages to stay up and reasonable for months at a time, so it's a distinction without a difference.

My Windows machines can barely manage a few days without something coming along that requires a reboot to resolve.

>There is no such a thing as "most users"

That's not how math works.

When I said "If it's not a documented part of the programming environment, use it at your peril," I absolutely mean the developer. Don't use undocumented behavior. It's a dumb idea, and it absolutely WILL bite you. I mean, this isn't hard; if $vendor says "that's not documented or supported, and we can and will change that behavior," then it's malpractice to build a product that depends on it.

That MSFT has been less strict about this is a problem, not a feature.

>Your argument would be wrong

It, like all arguments, might well be -- but you certainly haven't demonstrated that it is.

Windows still enjoyed desktop hegemony because of momentum, and because you can buy a shitty Windows laptop for $200. It's not because Paint Shop Pro from 1999 still runs on it.

> pain, torture, death are bad because they deprive you of future possibilities

Death does. Pain and torture don't deprive you of your future. They are all about what you have to go through to get to that future, and possibly alter how you are physically and/or mentally in that future.

At an extreme end of the spectrum is complete brain death, but just before that might be extreme brain damage. Would you choose a reality in which you're so mentally diminished that your existence is comprised entirely of terror and confusion? Opting into that, even the possibility of that, especially since once you're in that state, you may no longer be capable of changing your mind?

Even for people that don't believe in the religious version of hell, some might consider this the closest equivalent. The question then becomes, would you subject yourself to the possibility of being in a hell equivalent for an indeterminate amount of time after your death to provide an indeterminate amount of benefit to science?

> If you are already dead, you do not have any future to lose

That assumption only works if you assume you can't be brought back, even as a brain in a jar. It doesn't make sense to use assumptions based on death being the ultimate end when reasoning about death not being the ultimate end.

> If you are already dead, you do not have any future to lose, and in that case if your torture can help others, the rational choice is to help.

By that reasoning, if there was a program where you could donate your body to science while you're still alive and they could do any tests they want, including live vivisection, would you do so? If not, why is that any different?

It is a bit of a chore to read if you want to get anything out of it; like most good literature it makes demands of you and you only get out what you put in. The main character is loathsome, in a bizarrely innocent kind of way -- he's a torturer, he was raised a torturer, it's a good honest living that makes people say, "oh we need one of those, I didn't know they still existed", like a dishwasher repairman. You're not supposed to like him, and it's crucial to understanding the story that you don't believe everything he says.

It's not for everyone but if you enjoy figuring out all the lies and misdirections and mistakes the narrator makes, it's quite an experience.

Yes, if they could establish an objective threshold that'd be great. Probably simplest is to restrict to actual threats.

But, someone saying transgenderism might be a mental disorder is not a threat, so should not be banned. Likewise saying capitalism has led to overpopulation, environmental destruction and cultural imperialism is not a threat and should not be banned, regardless of whether it is true or not.

I also think some sort of enforcement of etiquette that is content agnostic would be great, but that's a bit trickier to draw the line.
