While it's important to take on the arguments from the other side, the reason many Democrats refuse to go on Fox News has little to do with them being conservative leaning, and far more to do with their general laid back attitude to reporting the truth. So much of what is presented on Fox as "news" is anything but, they'll take twitter threads from unverified accounts and spin entire stories from them, and that's not even going into the problematic ones like when they draw attention to and pay lip-service to outright nonsense like the Qanon conspiracies.

They're still head and shoulders above people like Alex Jones but they're just a setup and punchline relative to news as of late. I'm all for hearing the opposing sides but when all they seemingly have is petty name-calling, Whataboutism, or insane conspiracy theories, I'm just not interested.
What do you mean by "broadly supported"? Do you want browsers to make it impossible to install custom CAs?
every writer should be interpreted in their context. I dont understand requiring asimov, who had so many interesting ideas and stories, to conform to today's gender concepts or judging him on them.

People who need their author/actor/etc to be exactly like themselves are probably racist.

> A government has sovereign rights... within that country.

Sovereignty doesn't have bounds on scope, only on applicability. That is, it applies to actions anywhere, by only to things brought within the practical power (which isn’t the same thing as territorial boundaries) of the sovereign.

> Why should Mozilla (which is not a Kazakhstan entity) be subject to the laws of Kazakhstan?

Because there is no superior sovereign over Kazakhstan to say no. That's what sovereignty is ultimately about.

> That would kind of be a limit on US sovereignty, wouldn't it?

That sovereign entities are in a state of perpetual conflict, and hat this conflict is the only limit on the power of sovereigns, is a very old and well-known observation about sovereignty.

> No, it's only criminal within that country.

Very few, if any, countries actually only criminalize conduct within their own territory. Most criminalize some conduct whether or not it's within their own territory, and some (including the US) criminalize certain conduct only if it is outside their own territory. In fact, in some cases there is broad international consensus that nations should criminalize certain conduct even when committed by foreigners in foreign lands.

Using neither. No addons or vpn or anything. Can't really say about shared connections if that is something my ISP is doing but the point is shouldn't vpn or shared connections affect chrome browser equally? Yet this only happens when using ff.

If you read the thread above a lot many people face this too, so at least this Recaptcha bs is quite true and prevalent.
Yes he was a sex offender. Lots of people are, including 17-year-old boys who have sex with their underage girlfriends. The sex offender laws in the US are so draconian that there's no distinction made between somebody who's seen urinating in an alley and a violent rapist.

In my state (New Mexico) Epstein had a ranch where we now know he was raping girls. But guess what? He did not have to register as a sex offender in NM because the age of consent here is different than it is in Florida (that loophole has since been fixed by our legislature.)

My point is that the sex offender laws in the US are meaningless. They encourage the public to assume that minor offenses are heinous and that major criminals might actually be minor offenders who got a raw deal.
mutation, replication, natural selection. This is all you need for evolution. So evolutionary cancers makes sense once you add transmission.
You're just proving my point. If we go past the fashionable rhetoric about AI and apply the same reasoning to existing technologies, we could conclude that Photoshop was too dangerous to release to the public without "appropriate checks and balances". It can be used to create harmful memes and doctor photos! So what tools should an average person be allowed to use?

Also, with so many people concerned about disinformation, where is research on tools that would empower individual users to process information in better ways and make sounded judgements?
Yes, this a fascinating problem and will stay for decades at least. Personally, at this point in time, I would say that machine which could imitate human and make independent decisions should be considered human. Though threshold of the "independence" and "sufficiency" is very hazy. And by the same logic I don't consider newborn human kids entirely "human" for first year at least, since they obviously don't possess same level of consciousness as humans with fully grown brain (or close to it).
The US is fairly unusual in its vibrant general aviation infrastructure. A lot of those airports are tiny ones suitable to only propeller and small jet planes, not airliners.

China's extensive recent work on a high speed rail network is probably relevant here, too.

> One of Rogan's both strength and weaknesses as a host is that he never pushes back or challenges his guests on anything, asks really probing questions or even really prepares for the interview. He basically just lets his guests talk about whatever they want for as long as they want with him nodding along and throwing the occasional softball.

As a long-time watcher of JRE, this just isn't true. He clearly sometimes prepares, and he does push back (especially if it's on a topic he's into). He has explicitly said that he used to push back too hard in the past, leading to argumentativeness, bickering, etc.

For some strong push-back towards a scientist deluded about the effectiveness of Aikido leading into an awkward argument see https://youtu.be/06olLYiMvM4?t=8985

On the recent podcast with Bernie he started pushing Bernie on his drug legalization stance. He didn't push as hard as I would like, but he definitely pushed.

He had a podcast with Jack from Twitter after which he received feedback that he didn't push Jack hard enough about censorship. He apologized for that, got Jack on again, but brought on someone with more knowledge about specific instances of censorship to make that case (Tim Pool).

Etc.

I think you're demonstrating one of the aspects of anti-intellectualism prevalent in the Rogan community. You expect other people to provide data and evidence to change YOUR mind, but you won't provide data or evidence supporting your own position.

The host provides an available platform to an audience. If I was a guest on a Joe Rogan podcast, I can be certain that some non-trivial amount of people will hear me. If I make my own one-off podcast and upload it to soundcloud, youtube, thepodcasthost, whatever, It is close to assured that I will have a lesser audience, if not close to no audience.

Joe Rogan's platform brings listeners to a topic, not to any specific opinion.
Exactly. Privacy and revenue-leeching issues aside, as an end user, I love AMP. Near-instant loading of articles with all the horrible bullshit and clutter removed? What's not to love?

I constantly find myself closing pages on mobile within the first second if they're taking too long to render or if they become fucked up from all the ads and comments and social media button, each one dislocating other elements and moving them around as it renders, or just because they were poorly designed for mobile.

There's a huge chunk of content I never bother to see because it's too much of a pain in the ass to actually read on my phone. If I have to adjust the zoom or scroll to a different part of the page to see any text, you've probably already lost me, unless it's content I went out of my way to seek out.

If we polled all smartphone owners and asked them who Stallman is, the majority of them wouldn't be able to tell you. That doesn't mean it doesn't affect them.

And if you're talking about a poll where you ask people whether they would like to have a larger selection of apps for their phone, or they think it should be easier for small developers to enter the market, or they think Google should have more control over their phone than they do, the majority of people are not going to choose less apps and less freedom at the same price.

The fact that you have to put it against dollars to get them to do what you want is just leveraging the fact that the median user is not rich to claim that nobody wants something that everybody wants because everybody also wants to save money (and the implication that the median person values it at less than a penny is hyperbole). Why should you have to pay extra for freedom? Should only the rich have it?
> credible reports that internet service providers in Kazakhstan have required people in the country to download and install a government-issued certificate on all devices and in every browser in order to access the internet

Hardly sounds like a choice.
This is not about "your" devices. It is about all devices that control your life. Infrastructure, government, businesses all use devices that control your life.
I'm waiting for EF6 on .NET Core, just as you said. Once that's successfully working, and I've got all the web stuff updated to latest, then I'll look at moving EF to its latest version as well. That part scares me a bit more however, as we have hundreds of databases being managed via EF6 migrations, all at different versions (based on customer maintenance payments). We'll need to keep EF6 as a dependency as long as we want to keep updates simple and have older versions in the wild.
"Better" in what sense? A tanker truck that spills its entire load might spill 3,000 gallons or 11,600 gallons[0], a far cry from the 11,000,000 gallons with which this story is concerned.

On that measure, trucks are clearly lower-risk. On other measures, they fare worse. There was also the option of running the pipeline through a different area, but the government claimed that wasn't worth the extra expense, and that there would definitely be no spills like the one there obviously was.

I would also guess the person you originally responded to is European. I'm a Canadian child of German immigrants and the different attitudes towards mental wards on the two continents is striking. That said, the kind of abuses ryacko described are real, even if there are fewer incentives to commit them on this side of the pond.

The concern I find more reasonable, having seen the role it plays in the old world, is that the mental healthcare community over here will seek to expand its opportunities to commit that kind of abuse. And why not? You seem fairly secure in your belief that none of your colleagues would actually abuse that power if you had it.
Interesting solution. My coworker created a similar app that aims to reduce debt complexity over time for a group.

Ex. 1: Alice owes Bob $10. Bob owes Alice $5. So Alice really just owes Bob $5

Ex. 2: Alice owes Bob $10, Bob owes Charlie $5, and Charlie owes Alice $5. This can also be reduced such that Alice just owes Bob $5.

We use it to track who owes who and who is up next to buy lunch. https://github.com/famish99/cuenta

I think "disgusting" is the appropriate word for how lenient and permissive some are trying to be around this (including the top comment in this very thread). As soon as it touches someone or some institution you care about-- oh, well, it can't really be that bad, can it? It's a witchhunt, everyone is overreacting, it was just child sex trafficking, what's the big deal.

> Joi asked me in 2014 if I wanted to meet Epstein, and I refused and urged him not to meet with him. We didn’t speak about Epstein again until last Friday.

This person was cognizant enough to understand what a horrible person Epstein was in 2014. If it was well-known enough for this person to not only refuse to meet, but urge others not to, then there aren't any excuses. I have no pity for anyone with any association to him, except I don't think it will matter much because I doubt much of anything will happen to them. Some reputations will be tarnished, briefly, perhaps.
For me a brand is an identifier that groups price and different qualities. I chose my brands based on what gives me the most value for my money. So, yes, it's important. It's also personal.

Some carrots are thick, others are thin, and you can't say one is better than the other because some people will prefer the thick ones and others the thin ones. Thicker ones are easier to peel since you can hold them better and have a larger volume-to-skin ratio, and also result in larger slices. Thinner ones fit more easily in a juicer and are easier to bite down raw without cutting.

Same with paper towels. Some rolls come with few, super-resistant and reusable towels (Kleenex is amazing, it'd probably easily survive being put in a washing machine multiple times), others come with a bunch of super-weak, disposable towels. I pick both rolls and use them depending on the situation.

For my milk, one brand seems to spoil faster (always days before the expiration date), I'm not sure why, so I avoid it.

I also care for the brand of my bread. All bread brands are really different, so it matters. Some will have more slices, some will have wider slices, some will have thicker slices, some will be more dense, some will be more white, some will be more nutritious, etc.

Toilet paper from certain brands breaks too easily, others charge too much to make the paper super-soft, etc. Some will add a unique spin which you may or may not value, like how one brand flattened the rolls in its packaging to use less space and therefore be better for the environment. I suppose the argument comes from less plastic packaging and more rolls transported per trip when it's being distributed. I liked that one, mostly because the paper just happened to be wider than all other brands, but I can imagine some people would just find flat rolls to be too weird to buy even if they can easily unflatten them before use.

Brands of yogurt also differ a lot. Some are smoother, others are thicker.
Especially with pads, signatures as a verification mechanism are just silly in this day and age. Maybe some people actually sign legibly but most of us just do a scribble. (My signature on the back of my credit card is equally illegible so, in the rare occasions when someone does a compare, I've never had an issue. Fortunately, they do seem to be on the way out though I do typically have to sign a slip in Europe and Asia when using a US chip card.

One of my canonical examples of "first, start with talent" is found in the world's great football (soccer) players.

> It's enough that I've grown very leery of anything before the 90s, which is a shame because there's a lot of important stuff before then...but reading it pokes the wounds of too many sexist/racist older relatives (plus "is this what I'll seem like by the standards of a few decades in the future?") to let me enjoy the stories.

Hmm. I find that the latter thought is what makes it easier to accept the former.
I actually think that tabooing those topics and refusing to even discuss them makes them a lot more powerful than they deserve to be.

If a topic is not discussed in public space enough, its counterpoints and refute arguments become less and less obvious and visible, which leads to people colliding with it for the first time not being mentally equipped to muster rational arguments against it out of their own brain due to not being mentally equipped or mature enough. Not everyone can recreate a hundreds of years of mental and cultural progress on the spot without any external references and talking points readily available.

So if you know nothing about holocaust and encounter a convincing-looking argument that it's a hoax, it's very easy to adhere to this idea and move on with your life thinking it's the truth, especially if you don't see any moral issues with it.

Tabooing controversial topics creates an ideological vacuum that is very easily gets filled with garbage. Especially if the the only actors willing to break the taboo are those who have questionable motives and pushing some sort of angle.
I mean, "this site should not exist" is being a little harsh, don't you think?

If a team is great at pointing, and the lead/PM is good at scoping then I tend to agree with this.

I've seen 1 team good enough at pointing to do 2 week Sprints, call their velocity, and generally nail it.

It was a small federal team on a mature (7 year old) coldfusion application with a backlog that mainly involved minor features and bug fixes, where the app had a narrow clear scope.

The startups I've been involved in are too chaotic. When you have a team lead or project manager who never met a feature request they could say "no" or "that's not urgent" too, the problem is even worse. Also when your domain or features are generally not well defined "let's bolt a full CRM onto this now"

Among the chaos, I still go home on time every day.
I occasionally have captcha issues (which usually ends with me leaving the site altogether) but it's likely due to all the addons I have like uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger. Google desperately wants to know who you are and where you're going. Annoying captchas are the response to saying "none of your business"
The unfortunate result of this article is probably that the companies highlighted for the best swag will get enough swag requests that they stop giving out swag.
I guess the real problem is that it's not immediately obvious to non-technical users what the implications are of installing a government-issued MITM CA certificate.

That could potentially be fixed with better UI, but even then it's rather hard to communicate the danger when the user is under the influence of a social engineering attack from their own ISP. (E.g. "This certificate is needed to ensure your security. Just ignore that warning from your browser, it's not important.)
