> Just because it's a right doesn't mean it needs an organization to advocate it.

Any time there's a group of people who fear that one of their rights will be taken away or diminished, don't they "need" an organization, or something, to voice their concerns?

Is it that you just don't care about what they have to say, so you don't mind if they're not allowed to say it? Seems like a scary position to hold, given the subjective nature of what people care about or not.

> The 2nd amendment has become an absurd right because due to technological advancement it must necessarily be severely limited for the good of society

No, it became absurd because it's underlying purpose was abandoned and the governments in the US at all levels adopted professional armed internal and external security services, and thebwholet point of having an RKBA to support the viability of well-regulated militias was so that those militias would be what states and the federal government would rely on exclusively, beyond very minimal cadres, for armed security services.

The whole absurd mythology around the RKBA being to provide the ability for citizens to provide a reserve capacity to fight the professional Government forces in the event the government becomes tyrannical is a product of trying to rationalize the amendment once it's underlying premise has been abandoned.

> you can't carry an RPG or a machine gun or most kinds of arms that have been invented subsequently to it's introduction.

I'm not convinced there is a fundamental reason why bearing most modern heavy weapons within reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions is incompatible with public safety; clearly “carry everything everywhere” maximalism isn't, but then that's never been understood by the courts to be the scope of the RKBA even when it concerns whatever weapons the court felt were within it's coverage.
This is currently being argued in court... There's a good chance the plans will be reversed.

You should really read Scalia's decision in Heller. Scalia's decision in Heller did not establish the 2nd as an individual right, it carefully explained why it always meant that.

Your belief about what the second amendment means and what it was meant to mean when written is incorrect and thoroughly debunked in that decision.

> (If you live in the West, then you are likely over consuming.)

Is there any data on the spread of average vs median? From my personal experience, it seems that there are two peaks: one group of people are consuming far above the average while another is far below it (e.g. some travel by plane internationally or intercontinentally two or three times a year, others maybe once every three or five years). If you nag those below the average how they need to stop over-consuming, you'll likely yield nothing but confusion that might turn to anger and fundamental opposition if you continue.
Implementing End-to-End Encryption in Bear App
I’ll try and address your objections to my post, Blockstack and the apps developed on top of Blockstack.

> Being "more tangible" is an opinion

Yes. However my post was in response to someone who seemed disappointed that the story was not about something that was available. It was not meant as a criticism generally, but as something else to check out for those who might share that disappointment.

> “dapp" (seriously, what is this vocabulary, these are brandings, marketing terms

Some may use this term as a marketing ploy, but “dapp” is literally nothing more than “distributed app”. What is distributed? In the case of Blockstack, the users’ data and their identity. By design it ensures that control of data and identity is not only distributed to the users, but cannot be centralised (or recentralised), irrespective of the app. [0]

> have nothing to do with gnunet or secushare on the moral level, they are really different beasts with different goals

Firstly I’d argue that this is an opinion. But secondly I’d add that it is an ill-informed opinion. The Blockstack design means that users retain control of their data and their identity, and these cannot be taken from, nor weaponised against users. This is not merely a statement of intent [0], but am outcome of design [1].

> Marketing vs science,

I believe this is adequately addressed by their white paper which I won’t attempt to summarise. [1]

> social vs commercial, private vs libre

The GNU philosophy is not about free as in beer but free as in libre. It is also not anathema to commercial use. The Blockstack core is licensed under the GPL v3, and all documentation is Creative Commons licensed.
I’d argue that a worse denial of freedom (than software freedom) is having your data and identity held hostage ie. denial of the freedom to move or remove my data and identity. Holding your digital self hostage is eminently possible by a cloud service even if it’s built entirely on open source software, while not possible for a Blockstack dapp even if it were closed source. The core philosophy of Blockstack is “can’t be evil”.

> if you're not seeing the objective difference here then you're not trying

An opinion. I could counter that you didn’t try very hard to see the similarities.

Intel has stopped delivering stock coolers with K-series CPUs for a while now. There is technically a sort of reference cooler but you'd have to buy that separately and nobody does that. Every single person in the market for a CPU like that was planning to use a "custom" cooling solution anyway. (Although custom in this case could just mean to put a big air cooler or AIO on it.)

Tbh the TDP doesn't really matter. It's a binned 9900K. We already know how those perform. It's literally just doing what siliconlottery does and getting some publicity for it.
I am no constitutional expert, but my understanding is that the amendment protects the ability to form a militia.

And I believe it is not meant to defend against invasion so much than to defend against tyranny (whether internal or external).

And it is still true today that no army, even the US army, can control a hostile population that has a wide access to weapons. It is why the colonial wars were futile, and why no major power has ever successfully won a guerrilla war.
I expect Google to file a patent for this soon.
"Mayor John V. Lindsay, who took office in 1965, was determined to break this cycle, to put low-income projects in middle-class neighborhoods. He tried, memorably, in 1971 in Forest Hills, Queens, figuring that the community’s predominantly liberal Jewish population would not object to the arrival of three 24-story towers. He was wrong. The construction site was soon overrun with angry protesters."

I have to wonder, does anyone, yourself included, want projects in their neighborhood? And more importantly, is there evil dirt in 'bad' neighborhoods that makes housing projects become high-crime ghettos, and if we just build them in middle-class neighborhoods with good dirt instead, everyone's going to behave and make it a nice place to live?

I can tell you, living in an extremely liberal, formerly low-crime small city that in the past decade decided to "put low-income projects in middle-class neighborhoods" and even offered section 8 vouchers to random people from a big city hundreds of miles away to move in, it's been a catastrophe. Spreading crime and dysfunction around isn't really better than quarantining it.
If, for example, you thought small caps were under valued, and you wanted to tilt small cap, you could keep doing exactly what youre doing, and just add a small investment into small caps on the side. So at Schwab, if you hold Schwab Target 2060 Index Fund (SWYNX) you can tilt by making sure Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF (SCHA) is 10% of your portfolio. At the moment, SCHA is 6.8% of SWYNX, so you would need an additional 3.2%. I dont know if you even need autobalancing for something so simple, just fix your allocation every time you make a contribution.
I can't help but ask if human centric design means anything at all given the objections and examples of the failings are outright contradictory to the thesis. An actual arguement against it would be if human centered design resulted in far worse performance to make it easy to understand - akin to using masses of factory workers manufacturing with hand drills because it is simpler to understand than a drill press.

The anthrocentrism arguement is downright painfully inane. The issue isn't that it improves things for humans but that it causes environmental damage!

To provide a biting but illustrative example toliet paper improves things for humans. Using live endangered sea birds as toliet paper wouldn't make things better for the environment but worse for both humans and the environment.
Thank you: that explanation is the first that makes sense to me.

I get the impression that this structure would require an exchange: retailers would not trust each other otherwise.

Wouldn’t commercial pamphlets, interviews with salespeople, etc., from the exchange be obvious proof of illegal behaviour there? Google’s implementation is imperfect but, for the loophole to work, it would need coordination between several competitors and third party with a business model explicitly and almost exclusively about going around against GDPR.

If I can risk a comparison, that would be Google is like a chemical company selling fertilizer, and the exchange is selling bombs made from raw material bought by other people.

Am I missing the point? Shouldn’t this article be about those exchange and their clients, not Google?
Black electrical tape is great for blocking light.
To call the comparison absurd and to argue why is not personal.

To ascribe motive to what you consider the absurdity of the comparison (“disingenuous”) is, as dang described it, ad hominem.

The fact that I can draw this distinction without indicating any agreement or disagreement with your actual argument helps emphasize this point.

I think you could make a very interesting comment on the distinction between the red flag lists and the others without discussing the poster.

This is interesting to me, because I work in a "methodology" business -- except in our field, everyone understands that properly implementing Earned Value Analysis requires the combination of:

- Good people, who know what they're doing;
- Good processes, that support those people;
- Good tools, which enable the processes

There's been no effort (of which I'm aware, anyway) to turn this into a cargo cult. EVMS complex, and takes a lot of work to implement, but it has real & demonstrable benefits on large-scale projects. So it gets to stay a "real" thing and avoid the weird cargo-cult transformation that's plagued other ideas.

Hi mikejb

I'm a US citizen who lives in Europe, and I'm here to help.

San Francisco is a city only, and has no Federal power, so the answer is "no" to both of your questions above. As for what it actually _means_, the action by San Francisco is merely rhetorical, and has no legal meaning. It would be unconstitutional for San Francisco to actually use the force of government to punish NRA or its members, since this would violate the 1st Amendment.

Yes, colonial British subjects had restrictions on ownership of weapons. They had soldiers quartered in their homes. They had taxes without representation. They had their right of free assembly restricted. They had their religious freedoms restricted.

The founding fathers wrote the bill of rights specifically to cover these things that British rule had done to the people who left Britain.
A well off industrialized nation making progress on energy and pollution reduction would a) demonstrate what things works, and b) provide investment dollars into those technologies, which _usually_ results in optimizations and lowering of costs ... so even if those "other countries" don't follow immediately, their adoption could be enabled by earlier adoption by us
> Scalia's decision in Heller did not establish the 2nd as an individual right, it carefully explained why it always meant that.

That's what every decision that established a particular interpretation of the Constitution as the official one does, so the “did not establish” part is not only unnecessary, but incorrect.
I think that's understood. But what's telling is that no single step of Jeffries' series of articles seems to be approaching any kind of sensible solution. It reads like an amateur -- e.g. me -- trying to write a game and getting stuck in the low hanging but inconsequential fruit.

Because Jeffries' series is about TDD, and not really Sudoku, the process is important. And the process failed him spectacularly.
Honestly, I don't get the point. Maybe I skimmed the article too fast?

> We follow an approach called Human Centred Design, which involves ‘the human perspective in all steps of the problem-solving process’.

Based on that definition, it seems like "Human Centered Design" is just a platitude.

The technical details are pretty irrelevant for desktop computers, although there are analogues to some of the techniques on some more recent platforms eg. Gameboy Advance, smartwatches, maybe mobile VR (I do wonder if that's why Carmack is so keen on working on the Oculus Quest).

I typically just tape some aluminum foil around the window. It's pretty effective.
You are totally right and totally wrong at the same time.
Yes - the solution must be in large parts a technological and scientific solution, there are so many things we have to change. No - only engineers and scientists will not make a difference, engineers work for the government or companies and both need policies to shape markets for their products or investments. We need the public at the same time to shape the markets and give the engineers something to work with. Addressing climate change means changing the incentives and the direction of our technological development... and in a democracy we all get to decide on that, that politics.
On the other hand, these doomsayers also caused public outcry that changed a few things.
We can never know if these changes are the reason doom didn't happen, or because the prospects were imaginary.

Anyway, I believe that it'll be very hard to annihilate humanity let alone the planet, but it'll be very easy to lower the living standards slowly enough that we won't notice the reasons for it.

If you plan to have children, I think it's something you should thinks of.

Ofcourse, I'd prefer a rational discussion regarding the issues. But the powers at be, which usually have what to lose, usually steer the debate to be anti rational. And then you find yourself in a position where you must exaggerate in order to gain attention to your cause. It's a tragedy...

I assume you got this from the Investopedia article [1]? This seems a little disingenuous, no?

Trump Administration Reverses Standards for Energy-Efficient Lightbulbs
"Transportation By Amazon" (TBA) has been a concept at Amazon since around 2010 or so. Originally the concept was that Amazon would accept shipments from business customers and inject those shipments into Amazon's sorting and shipping network using the rates negiotated with various carriers.

Since most of Amazon's negiotated rates with carriers are lower than what carriers offer to consumers directly, customers get lower prices and would benefit from Amazon's scale and customer service.

Now with Amazon's own transportation network finally taking off, Transportation By Amazon has gone from a concept that would have relied exclusively on third-party carriers (e.g. UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc.) to a likely reality with primary reliance on Amazon's infrastructure and supported by third-party carriers where Amazon does not have a robust prescence.
