Excellent points and indeed, may open up an avenue that sure - you get the right to repair but the parts cost more than buying a new with the guarantee/warranty aspect etc etc.

But let's see how it pans out. A good step in the right direction, not the goal everybody wants, but a good first step at least.
Two other super powers have tried in Afghanistan without any "moral high ground" and the results have been the same.
The opt in is the big ugly banner isn't it?
You've described the situation from 1-2 million years ago. Homo sapiens were not the only intelligent species, there were numerous hominid species at various points. We interbred, killed, dominated, and out-competed these species, to their ruin. I don't fancy meeting another, slightly more capable version of ourselves, as that would likely lead to the same outcome for us.
It's admirable that Americans hold their 2nd amendment to such high-degree. If only your politicians and people in power weren't such crooks you wouldn't have to fear in the first place. I live in a country near Russia, yet I don't feel a need to keep an assault rifle in my home. I think the reason you are clinging onto your 2nd amendment is mostly purely sentimental, the legacy of your ancestors and their glorious resistance repeated through years of US history lessons. The fact is, you are mostly safe from your "overlords". There isn't and I think won't be any need for a revolution fought with guns. Your rights and freedoms are slowly dwindled away without you even noticing while you are still hanging onto your rifles like shooting down your fellow Americans would make a difference.

It's make-believe, but I guess it makes Americans feel a little special to know that if you elected some dictator you would have a chance to stop them. Your political rulers know far and well that civil war is the last thing anybody wants. Your judicial and political system in place should, before any Hitler came to power, stop them and prevent coup d'état from happening.

It's worrying that we, people living in highly progressive and democratic societies, would have to fear a dictator suddenly coming to power and having to protect ourselves against it. Why anyone would follow such psychopaths and throw away democratic society with free will? But I admit, humans are highly illogical and emotional creatures, that are deep down still driven by the primal urges that are the same as they were thousands of years ago. Just because we dress in fancy suits and dresses doesn't mean we aren't capable of what the Nazis did less than hundred years ago but I'm hopeful that we as species are still slowly progressing.
I wonder how much that has to do with those incidents being (relatively) small, isolated shocks to an otherwise mostly stable, mostly "peaceful" system. Some combination of the government not being "used" to dealing with such activity (unintentional inefficiency), and a desire to "keep the gloves on", as it were, and not raise some kind of optically disproportionate response, like bringing in the national guard (intentional inefficiency).

I wonder what a government response might look like after a few continuous years of dealing with clearly-organized civil unrest and violence. After it, perhaps, decides that waging direct war on its own citizenry is acceptable for the sake of the State. Or that such agitants have forfeited their right to citizenship.
However, we are not talking about treatment or repairs, so poor if not irrelevant comparisons.

It is recognised that the most valuable person/s in review panels are the rank outsiders that ask the questions that are considered already answered or too outlandish to consider.

There are a number of studies I can't be arsed to dig up, however Feynman and the challenger investigation is one slightly oblique example.

Outsiders do not have the fear of pointing at the elephant in the room.
Charles Schwab is eliminating online commissions for trading in US stocks
It would be bloody, beyond that no idea.

A demonstration like happening in Hong Kong likely wouldnt ever happen. I use the nevada rancher incident as an example.

Govt agents backed down from armed "militia" to avoid the bloodshed.

If as you say most people fly for 5-6 hours wouldn’t we need the 10 hour range just to be safe? A 6 hour range when most people fly 5-6 hours is dangerously cutting it close.
The article is more about how you can read the graph as it is intended (showing a positive association, for example) but reading it uncritically means that you will ignore the possible context that generated the statistics.

Email does indeed catch and notify you of most things, and Gmail is getting smarter every day. The one major downfall, though, is that it's stale: the minute you receive an email it's out of date, and if anything requires additional emails to send updates.

It's also those "filters and scripts" you've set up to create your own triage queue that we're trying to replace. The average user should not have to write scripts to receive and process their work in an efficient manner. That's what we're trying to solve at Monolist!

Wouldn't this theoretically support the middle-ground concept of coworking spaces then? They allow companies to be more distributed, but you're still working at an office rather than at home.

The more decentralized nature of coworking spaces means you can choose whichever one is closest to you, shortening the commute and decreasing traffic.

Sure you can choose a home near your company if you're just starting out your career or moving to a new city, but once you're in that city for a while, it's not feasible to move to a new home every time you move companies. Coworking spaces allow you that flexibility.

not the older ones, which is what OP was complaining about.
People have this vision of a civil war, some all-out armed conflict with winner-take-all. Looking at any country with a history of armed rebels, you see a long-term political standoff that occasionally runs hot. Ruby Ridge and Waco are small scale examples in the US. On a larger scale these types of movements actually can accomplish quite a bit. I'm not condoning it by any means, I think it's completely nuts, but I don't think it's so far fetched. If you get enough people with enough political will they can accomplish a lot, armed or not.
> if the US President went in to full dictator mode and had the support of the military, do you really think a militia of armed citizens would be anything but gnats against the windshield of the United States Armed Forces?

Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. On paper, none of them stood a chance. How’s everything played out, in your opinion?
> They gave it back with the condition that HK would remain quasi-independent until 2050. The people are protesting because they see the writing on the wall and realize independence is fleeting.

The government of China pooh-poohs this treaty as a "historical document" and says it basically doesn't apply any more.

That said, the idea that "Hong Kong is China's property" would at least pay homage to the ideal of the Westphalian nation-state, a concept which China has also officially declared as an outmoded concept, and they have made it clear at all levels that they enjoy meddling in other countries' affairs. (Of course, while they are eager to dish it out, they can't really take it, and there is no end to the hypocritical caterwauling about foreign interference, especially regarding Hong Kong...)

The cordless phone system I have lets you make/receive calls via your cell phone from any handset in the house. It connects via Bluetooth, so isn't a dock, but the functionality is similar to what you're suggesting.

Mine is an older Panasonic system, but I'd be surprised if other manufacturers didn't offer something similar.
I was just researching automatic API generation for a project of mine.

This list might be of interest for your friend, however I have no idea how good or bad these solutions are :

The most lazy way would be to use CouchDB. However when you have no schema in your database (NoSQL) you have to implement it (poorly) in your application. Relationnal DB are harder at first but end up a good long term investment imo.
I'll see if I can find it. The formulation was, I think, like you described; the rural states were defending from a majority rule from more populous coastal states.

The US is not a democracy and you have just outlined why. Small autonomous regions were created to limit external influence and allow people to live their lives in peace. A lot of stuff now happens on the national level that was never meant to happen on the national level.
They would be infinitely better off.

I don't understand this sentiment of "even with guns it's not gonna work so let's just roll over and take it".

If you personally don't think you'll be better off that's fine, but surely you get that if someone WANTS to fight tooth and nail in self-defense he should be given a chance to do so.
And yet somehow Slovenian police manages to do just that (shoot to maim, usually leg), on very rare occasions when it has to use a gun and warning shot didn't suffice.
There are of course fools in China just like everywhere else in the world, they don't represent us all，however the articles does not agree with it or should I say the author is one of the fools? It is full of hate with some fake facts. I am not denying nationalism is a bad thing for the people, but I agree it is a good temporary strategy to rule fools especially in country like China. Open some books about Chinese histories and show some respect is all I hope to get.

Agreed, and Gen Z shows some real hope as they are much more active politically.
why? do companies have a right to defend themselves from being broken up?
There’s a huge, well-funded industry pushing skepticism of regulation in most of the English-speaking world. In both the US and UK, those journalists and lobbyists use EU as their default example of excess with all sorts of exaggeration and misrepresentation[1]. We like to tell ourselves that we’re not so easily influenced but, as the comments here regularly demonstrate, those companies pay for these efforts because they are influential.

Under classical antitrust, yes. FB doesn't fall under Warren's proposal for 'platform utilities'; pushing DOJ to unwind the Whatsapp and Instagram mergers would be the only way for her administration to accomplish the stated goal.
Take home pay on a £100,000 income (top-end London senior dev salary) is £66,532, so a 33.5% tax rate. This includes income tax and national insurance (healthcare and basic state pension) but not optional private pension contributions.

For a £50k salary you are looking at 25% total tax rate.

It's almost like that language was inserted into the Constitution for some explicit purpose, but then someone (the Supreme Court) forgot about that along the way...

I think it's weird how American gun advocates didn't get upset when SCOTUS took some white-out to the amendment they claim to hold so sacred.
That's correct. People proclaiming that it's about quality of life are mistaken, other nations have overwhelmingly demonstrated that you can have both in abundance.

Portugal works more hours (1,842) than the US does (1,783; average labor hours per worker per year). Yet US output per capita is nearly three times higher. Greece works far more hours than the US. The US is near the OECD average for hours worked, Greece is 15% higher than the OECD average. Spain works 4% fewer hours than the US, with 1/2 the output. Italy works 3% fewer hours with close to 1/2 the output.

Forget about the US though, it's nowhere near the best example of this in action.

Germany is at $48k GDP per capita, over double that of Portugal or Greece, while working 1363 hours per year. About 20% fewer hours than Spain and Italy. That's nearly 500 fewer hours of annual work versus Portugal. The Germans are averaging 26 hours per week across a year, Greek workers are at 39 (which in real terms means once you remove vacation time, the average worker in Greece is pulling well over 40 hours per work week).

The Greeks are among the worst off in hours worked, at 2035 hours. 672 more hours than the Germans. That's a strong indictment of the quality of life argument usually tossed about regarding countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece.

Some of the countries near the bottom in hours worked in the OECD: Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, France, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Australia, UK.

They're all simultaneously very high output countries, working fewer hours than Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece.

Norway and Switzerland are near the bottom in hours as well, however their context are rather unique.
the government will win in the game of “who has more guns and power”, just as it would in the USA

After Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq it literally boggles my mind that anyone still believes that.

In fact Afghanistan twice, the Mujaheddin defeated the Soviets the same way.
That's a stretch...cows know of humans, they know specific humans, they fear the slaughterhouse in many cases. They may not understand their ultimate destiny, but it seems a vast stretch to imply our buried-in-the-ground corpses are being eaten by ultra intelligent aliens.

The rise of killer death robots like Boston Dynamics definitely changes this dynamic. A handful of people in charge of the robots could order them to murder whomever with little oversight or room for ethical qualms on the part of the "soldiers".
Err not really at work I have space for a triple monitor set up at home I just have the laptop screen.
I don't know if you have more experience than me in C and C++ compiler implementation, but I think you have a lot of options for how you layout memory. The C++ specification doesn't say anything about how objects are laid out does it? ABIs do, but not C++. I've worked with a conforming C implementation that uses Java objects for structs, for example.

As long as you match the intended semantics, you can inline a malloc call into an object if you want to.
They won't for long I suspect. I suspect they'll send in troops and tanks anyway.
I like this idea. Discord has it for audio. Our fully-remote company pretty much uses zoom in a somewhat similar way. "Always-on" doesn't have to mean everyone is always in the room, it's simply an analogue of a physical meeting room or even an IRC channel directory. You can see who is currently in it and what the topic is (if there is one), and choose to hop in. That said, I would probably disable audio and video if I'm idling in a room I'm interested in until someone joins and starts talking.

It's a video meeting channel directory. I think a lot of comments are focused exclusively on the "always-on" wording, which I feel misses the point.

> even though they are “working“ it takes them hours to respond to slack.

Interesting, I feel the opposite. The longer it takes me to respond to someone’s messages, the more real work I am actually getting done because I’m deeply focused. The days where I quickly reply to everyone are usually the most unproductive.
Waco and the public response to the government acting that way is why Bundy Ranch turned out the way it did. There was an overwhelming majority of people who didn't think the governments use of force at Waco was ok (pictures of burned to death kids will do that) and the government changed the way it operates to reflect that which resulted in a more "wait them out" approach. Incremental feedback loops like that are what prevent civil war in the long term.
