Sure, if you have spare bandwidth it can be useful to understand why they're wrong.
It doesn't seem to me that the major issue is the distance from the border, but whether there are any reasonable destinations between the checkpoint and the border. If there are not, it's reasonable to treat people who pass the checkpoint as if they've crossed the border.

It's also reasonable for CBP agents to be able to enforce border-related laws anywhere near the border, subject to the usual law enforcement requirements of reasonable suspicion of a crime based on objective evidence for brief detention, and probable cause for any kind of search.

What I find unreasonable is any kind of checkpoint where a substantial number of people passing the point are unlikely to have crossed a border. For example, there's a permanent checkpoint on I10 about 15 miles west of Las Cruces, NM. It's over 30 miles from the border with Mexico in a straight line, and much farther by road. Most people passing this point are traveling between two locations in the US. Everyone is stopped and questioned, and while the questioning is usually not very invasive, it's done with zero individualized suspicion.

I'd love to use Guix (or Nix for that matter) as my day-to-day system but (and correct me, if I'm wrong) the package maintainer story is a bit off putting for me. From what I've understood, packages are maintained in a public git repository (GitHub [0] for Nix and savannah.gnu.org [1] for Guix), which might be great if there are enough people submitting updates, but at least for critical system components there should be clearly defined maintainers to make sure all security patches are applied in time.

Also I'm not sure how I feel about a core part of my potential operating system being hosted by a now Microsoft-owned company. On the other hand GitHub might be more reliable and better fit to server a huge amount of users than savannah...

Agreed, it's not impossible but also seems unlikely. It seems, as I was writing my previous message, like the plot for some crazy courtroom drama show: He couldn't go on living but needed to support his family!

Seems unlikely, but I just don't understand why he'd be using Autopilot in this area given his past with it.

When I first got Autopilot in my Tesla, I was playing with it on the city streets, and it decided to swerve into the divided, concrete median at the end of the intersection, deciding that was the lane. I grabbed control of it, no problem, but 2 years later I still am extra vigilant around any lane dividers. Mostly though, I don't use Autopilot in such restricted areas.
I disagree, by engaging a bad faith argument in good faith, you are playing their game and are going to lose by definition:

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
>I find this "REAL down time" combined with other physical activities such as jogging and a few minutes of gardening each day provides me with greater self-control.

I find it really interesting you mention gardening, because I've found that doing dishes has the same effect on me. I can just stand in front of the sink, wash the dishes, and introspect on things and let the mind wander. By the end of it, I get a dopamine hit from accomplishing a useful task with immediate visible results, as well as a relaxed state of mind.
If it's a function of a percentile of the population, then sure, there would be fewer geniuses and such. But a shrinking population seems to coincide with a better educated population. An educated, stable, slightly shrinking population can realize its full potential more than a growing population competing for finite resources.

Building a login approval system with Laravel and iOS – Part 1
Walls are an effective strategy to control where the battle happens rather than an attempt to keep the battle from happening at all.

The point of the wall isn't to stop people from crossing the border. It's to slow them down enough to make the CBP response time smaller than the crossing time. Beyond the political aspects of this there are actually some thoughtful reasonable arguments for it. The people in CBP who want to build this thing know that people will break sections of it, but they can't break the entire thing down. So it concentrates the border crossings into smaller areas. The intent wasn't to build it and then not defend it.
> I can just turn everything on, change the address, then turn it all off again

You can't - or, rather, I can't. It may be a problem that only affects me, I haven't talked to other people about it, but that was exactly my thinking a few months ago. So I activated location services, changed my home address to my new address, checked that it was set right, and disabled it again. And whoops, it's my old address again.

They might've fixed that in the mean time, I haven't checked it recently, I've just given up on using maps.

But that is itself a function of age. We are pre-wired to be in favor of the continuation of the species. Below a certain age, that means a short-term focus. Above a certain age, that means ensuring that the kids are OK.

Sometimes a driver is that you may pay lower wages than an in-office employee in, say SFBA, while still higher than average in the area the employee works in, so win-win. Similar to the logic that drives some remote/satellite offices to places they can grab some of the best local talent by paying above local-market, and still save quite a bit on salaries.

Warranties only cover manufacturing defects, not damage caused by independent repair. Voiding warranties for independent repair means that having such repair done to fix one problem voids the manufacturers responsibility for any unrelated defects.
I feel sorry for this dev as I've seen people do a lot of cluelessly dumb shit over the years when it comes to security.

For example, I worked in a place which hires co-op students and every year there'd be at least one university-educated student who --after being told not to-- would put their nondescript FOB security key card in their wallet. In the event they lose their wallet, any stranger can google the name found on their drivers license to find out information about them, their friends, or their place of employment.

Then there are the countless startups where the boss has decided they don't need to worry about security so their communal password is "password" and they keep their user database in plain text. Nobody takes security seriously until it blows up. And that tends to be the common attitude from business management: worry about it when it's a problem.
Not true. They have been optimized for decades. Programming language is as much as about implementation as abstraction
I believe you, but I also believe the NSA and others siphon that data and archive it so it's kind of a minor point if google keeps it or not, privacy is a relative term these days.

Organizations are historically composed of people, some of whom are more radical and some of whom are less radical than the overall organization. Claiming that Keith Ellison or Julian Castro are representative of the Democratic party or the left as a whole strikes me as very reductive. I'd like to live in a world where borders don't exist, but to claim that it's possible if we just stop enforcing our borders is pretty ludicrous.
>I was under the impression that the constitutional protections of all citizens have been suspended 100 miles from all borders

This isn't the case. It is a meme propagated by the authoritarian political-class in the US. Refuse all searches.

"However, the U.S. border is not a Constitution-free zone. The powers of border agents are tempered by our Fourth Amendment right to digital privacy, our First Amendment rights to speak and associate privately and to gather the news, our Fifth Amendment right to freedom from self-incrimination, and our Fourteenth Amendment right to freedom from discrimination."

https://www.eff.org/wp/digital-privacy-us-border-2017

"Border Patrol, nevertheless, cannot pull anyone over without "reasonable suspicion" of an immigration violation or crime (reasonable suspicion is more than just a "hunch"). Similarly, Border Patrol cannot search vehicles in the 100-mile zone without a warrant or "probable cause" (a reasonable belief, based on the circumstances, that an immigration violation or crime has likely occurred)."

Listening does not imply joining in belief. Listening is the act of developing an understanding of another's perspective and why they hold to that perspective. The keyword being understanding, not agreeing.

What we should learn from John Francis is to always be willing to listen; that if we want to live in a world where people listen to us, we have to be willing to listen to those people as well. If we want a society that uses civil discourse as a means of growing, we are obligated to learn how to listen and understand.

We are under no obligation to agree with what we hear, but we do owe it to others to understand where they are coming from, and why they hold the belief they have. And on the fortunate occasions, perhaps to learn from what they have to say.
To be even more clear, "dark matter" isn't a theory. It is a name for something we need theories about.

Yes, it's speculative. But so is the idea that this work is correct because he won a Nobel in the past. That's the point: you're making guesses based on limited evidence, and we're pointing out that you didn't use all available limited evidence to influence your guess, just some evidence that confirmed what you already felt. This is a kind of bias.

That anecdote actually sounds like you're supporting GP's cheapskate doctor hypothesis...

Wow only _30_ visits to the doctor and you get a $10 gift card? I have never been to an orthodontist but how often does one typically go? 30 times a year? Are those visits free?

On top of that, you have do free advertising (t-shirt) for him, plus having some useless trivia knowledge... I hope the questions are simple enough for people to always get right? This would just be pure frustration for me, I have learned over the years to literally dread trivia "opportunities".

And the best part... you can otherwise donate your paltry gift card to help him pay to go on vacation, albeit helping people, but you said vacation, therefore I'm guessing he works a couple days.

What's needed in the skeptic analysis is people who actually understand the point Elon is making. So often, the skeptics just completely don't understand what he's saying as he's speaking in terms of limits and fundamental principles, i.e. as a physicist.

In any good discussion and healthy argument, it is critical to be able to understand your opponent's point, be able to restate it accurately in a way they'd agree with, before being able to point out exactly how it's wrong (or at least unlikely).

Instead, we often see pile-ons and other supremely mentally lazy attacks.
You can't just choose to cut only the parts of the US budget you personally dislike. That's not how a budgeting in a democracy works. If you want a budget increase in one area, then that money has to come from all other parts of the budget. If 60% of the government spending is on social security and healthcare, then that suggests 60% of the spending in increasing the FAA budget is going to be coming from social security and health care.
Cisco's warning: Patch now, critical SSH flaw affects Nexus 9000 fabric switches
Uh, I guess all of this is wonderful and I appreciate the write up, but anecdotal evidence on an internet forum is not very reassuring to many of us. Until Google commits to some real actual transparency, there is no reason to believe they are actually deleting any data from their own servers, and that the options presented to end users is nothing more than a placebo switch.

No offense to you, but I remember when Amazon was releasing their home devices, and many people rang alarm bells in these forums only to be answered by supposed Amazon employees or friends thereof explaining why these devices couldn't possibly been sending data. Well low and behold, they are sending all sorts of data to Amazon. Were those commenters just lying? Were they misinformed? Were they trying to spread disinformation for whatever reason? Perhaps all three..

Here in America, the gig is up. Everyone, even our grandma's, understands that security and privacy is always going to take a back seat to profit. Always.

So again, no offense to you personally, but everything you are saying must be taken with a ginormous grain of salt.

The only answers are either open source or objective third party auditing, or preferably some combination of both. Words from google employees mean nothing.
