Actually it leads indirectly. But there's "vaccines cause autism" people and then there's "a vaccine killed my first baby and I don't want to give that vaccine to my second baby" people. Not to mention the "holy cow the USA has an intense vaccination schedule compared to other countries'" people.

The "beep boop vaccinate everybody" attitude is popular because it makes people feel smarter and morally superior to others.

Well, trust by proxy is what makes civilization work. But having some percentage of the populace that's always skeptical of the trust imparted like that is also essential.

Usually, Google being willing to give a company hundreds of millions of dollars is enough, because you assume whoever's job it is to give out all that money takes it seriously. Unfortunately, sometimes the more money is involved the harder it is for skeptics to get their own message out, since nobody wants to believe that all the money they've invested has been a poor choice. Just look at Uber. Any company that didn't have so many billions invested in it would have failed because of the internal problems they have long ago.

sum(negatives) > sum(positives) is perfectly legitimate -- it's not extremely pointless, nor is it particularly difficult to assess. It's (quite literally) a "pros vs. cons" analysis. It can be complex to quantify, but we do so all the time through modeling. The function needn't be linear in the parameters, and many parameters can intangible (e.g. societal, moral, etc) that are subject to jurisdiction, norms, culture, etc.

In fact, we do similar comparisons all the time: Annual employee performance reviews, asset appraisals (stock, realestate, bonds, etc), and internal rate of return (IRR) or risk-adjusted rate of return. The models are just models -- they can easily suffer from incomplete data, history, sentiment, and bias, intangibles, sentiment -- but the world makes the decision based on these models all day, every day.
If you anticipate that their argument is that you were actually calling them one, then yes, it's the sensible thing to do to prepare yourself.

There are only a few defenses to that as an element: "No I didn't," "So what, nobody would actually believe an obvious insult," (that's the one that won) and "It's true." The latter automatically wins the suit if proven, so it makes sense to probe for it among the others.

If I recall from reading a memo/recap of the session yesterday, that exact argument came up.

But links aren't alive; so if somebody once linked to something you wrote/own/built/whatever on some domain, you can't magically transfer that link to your new site if the domain name system decides to jack up prices until you consider moving.

And you're similarly not likely to own an ip address forever, not to mention that if you have any doubts about the userfriendliness of domains, you don't need to wonder about ip-addresses. Ip addresses are worse on all fronts; leaving you back to square one: the DNS gatekeepers own your domain and merely let you use it. Just pray they don't change the terms of that deal.

American law doesn't apply in Samoa (as opposed to American Samoa). But for the sake of argument, yes, it would satisfy part of one element ("directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action"). However it wouldn't satisfy the imminence requirement. Further, it would not satisfy the other ("is likely to incite or produce such action").

It's fairly easy to see that this is the case just by looking at what Americans have actually said. A memorable example to me was Zach de la Rosa telling the crowd at Coachella 2007 that every President since Truman should be lined up and shot. That is absolutely inciting lawless action, but no one with any kind of understanding of US free speech law would suggest he could be prosecuted.

> It sounds like you've already taken many steps backwards in your voting system

My voting system or the systems in the 4 states I've voted in? Which, I'll remind you, one uses paper ballots.

The year 2000 example I gave was literally what happened in Florida. Besides the chad part (which was a _MAJOR_ part of what I was suggesting as unverifiable), I'm also suggesting that given the close call there were many more opportunities for fowl play or accidents.

Really we don't care about verifiability in elections that went as expected. We care when they are close. Where mistakes make a difference. With thousands of ballots everywhere, it isn't hard for a few to get lost. Also, there were plenty of complaints about the ballot layout and how it confused people (Buchanan). You're also not going to be able to keep an eye on the ballots for 36 days (how long it took before the supreme court got involved).

Unless you have a receipt and a database you can easily access you can't really verify that your vote was counted. I'm not aware of any state that has this.

> it's still worse than a properly run paper system.

I also cannot think of a case where this is being done. I'll also note that according to this list[0], I voted with "Paper and DRE without paper trail", but I definitely did not vote on a piece of paper. I was put in front of a machine, so I'm not sure why this is called paper.

I would bet essentially any amount of money that this will not be the case.

The risks of fascism will be greatly amplified, but the risks of crime will remain the same, with only a few minor changes to which crimes are committed, to whom, and how.
What a gross, disingenuous framing. 'Vaccines' did not kill them. One specific instance of medical malpractice did. You should be worried about the specific people and companies involved in that incident. Being worried about all vaccines everywhere in the world because of this is completely irrational.
Utilitarianism does not induce a stable steady state. It thinks of everyone as having a set of wants (of some cardinal magnitude), and says you should arrange the world so that the total magnitude of satisfied wants is maximized.

The immediate implication is that, in order to get something, the right approach is to want it more. This produces no benefit to anyone, but it lets you appropriate things that used to be assigned to other people.

I would prefer to relabel "wants" as "demands", admit they do indeed have different magnitudes, but also assign a quantity measuring the reasonableness of the demand. The mere fact that you want something isn't evidence that you should have it.

Dutchie in NYC here. Dude(ette), I hear you, things aren't perfect back home. But frankly, you have no idea how much better things are for the low age earners in the Netherlands compared to the US. Working at a FAANG company here in NYC, you get 200-400k/year, and you use that money to pay thousands of dollars to live in a nice area in a building without rats and cockroaches and with proper sound proofing, which qualifies as luxury here.

And then you go to stand in line at the local wholefoods to buy $2.5 local chocolate croissants and $2 kombuchas from a teller who earns $15/hour.

Tip well, my friends, tip well.
Since you say you don't understand the counterargument, I'll attempt to restate it: participation in the vote needs to be accessible at all levels, from the actual voting to the administration of polling places to the counting of votes. That's what we get with a paper ballot system (the touchscreens we have in Cook County are BMDs and produce paper ballots that are counted; you can volunteer for roles in the election administration) and what we potentially lose with a system that relies on algorithmic counting.

If you have strong opinions about how elections should be run, the best advice I've seen is Matt Blaze's: volunteer to be an election judge in your district, to get firsthand experience.
For what it's worth, I'd probably recommend the latest edition of the Dragon Book before "Engineering a Compiler" too. The Dragon Book does a good job of establishing a lot of the foundation for a compiler. It is so dominant in the field that most other compiler textbooks either deliberately or inadvertently assume a reader is familiar with it.

The Dragon Book has a repututation for being unapproachable and it is pretty dense and goes more into compiler-compilers than any normal person would ever need. But the latest edition isn't quite so bad and you can skim some of that stuff if you aren't interested in it.
Apple did decide to not support it, but they didn't decide not to support a thriving product - it's like 3 1/4 floppy disks, when the iMac decided not to include a 3 1/4 drive people grumbled but it was mostly dead tech, writable CDs had become wide spread enough to obsolete it - with flash, when Apple decided to drop support, they did so in an era where preferred alternatives already existed and the tech was thoroughly reviled - so Apple put the final nail in the coffin, but flash was already in the ground at that point.

> I...do not understand what the jury was thinking.

Allegedly, none of the jury members were on Twitter (although they may have used other social media accounts).

As such, the jury was quite possibly thinking "There's no way a Twitter post could cause $190 Million in damages". They probably view Twitter posts with disdain and don't take them seriously. In effect, they probably believe that "a Tweet, even an untrue one, is unlikely to cause lasting damages".
Touchscreen BMDs are called "paper" because they produce paper ballots, which you can (presumably) inspect, and those are what is counted. The nightmare scenario for us in Cook County last cycle was a night where the counts in our pollbook didn't match up with the count of paper ballots we ended up with; we had to stay a bit late because of a minor snafu with them.
Your argument starts with a false premise, which is that because the providers code the delivery of high-speed internet as a "consumer service" that it is thus not a right.

By your same logic, if I began charging people to have access to the court system and a fair trial (which is arguably the case in the US today anyway) and treat the judicial system as a "consumer service," then it would cease to be a right.

That is hardly an argument, I'm sorry to say.

What I find interesting is that the government (and the journalist too) is apparently totally unable to envision any other outcome than the drastic decrease of population.

So, apparently, if women refuse to care for kids, then no kids are possible and the population is going to be halved every 50 years.

Hahaha, this is priceless.

Government exists solely to provide wellbeing to the citizens of a sovereignty. If a sovereignty has zero citizens, a government has zero utility.

I agree with you. It's also a relative matter of cheap and convenient. If it's a consistently-enforced $100 fine for dumping and $50 to dispose of it properly, hardly anybody is going to dump illegally. Even if their trash is bulky and worthless (like a soiled mattress) rather than bulky and useful, like scrap metal.

My state raised its littering penalties 16 years ago:

https://products.kitsapsun.com/archive/2003/07-31/215440_fin...

Up to $1025 for throwing a cigarette out a car window. Up to $5000 if you dump more than a cubic yard of trash!

But I still regularly find roadside cigarettes and even spot drivers tossing them, because it's still rarely enforced. It's a huge roulette wheel with an unreasonably low chance of ever landing on 0 and an unreasonably high penalty if someone ever does. I think that we would get much better compliance overall, without the risk of occasionally ruining a low-income person's life, if the cigarette-littering penalty were only $20 but most incidents could actually be penalized.
For very loose values of "paid", considering their shit^B^B^B alt coin is down 60% in the last 6 months.
Sure, I totally disagree with him, but I'd like the bar for freedom of speech to be a bit higher that. He didn't specifically threaten anyone, and he's not dispensing advice in a professional capacity. He's just some guy with a different opinion, on that bastion of obvious truth known as Facebook posts. That opinion might lead someone who reads it to not get vaccinated, which might cause real problems, but just putting his opinion out there shouldn't be cause for arrest. In my, obviously unpopular, opinion.
It's fair if you don't like Musk for such statements. That doesn't make it a fit issue for the courts, however.

You can't expect to be fluent enough in a language JUST with Duolingo, at most you will be able to read a few sentences and spit out a few basic sentences and words.

Is that enough? Definitely not. Not for me at least.
They basically give you the 'hello world' of a language.

I speak 5 languages (learned through school and life choices) but when I tried to learn a 6th on Duolingo I felt like the experience was not good enough for me. A tutor or a class would probably be mandatory and using Duolingo just for re-affirming some basic concepts would be a nice to have, like a companion app..but they have to be able to let teachers create their own lessons.

While Java's slow and cautious evolution frustrates developers, it still arguably demonstrates longer-term thinking than the constant accrual of features in its contemporaries such as JavaScript and C#.

That isn't to say the designers of JavaScript and C# don't think carefully about the addition of new features; indeed, was it Anders Heljsberg who made the point about all new proposed features starting with negative points?

But Java's recent and upcoming additions show _taste_: adopting a single lambda notation that fitted smoothly with the surrounding class-based OOP paradigm via SAM types (rather than magically-generated-type-style lambdas succeeding two overlapping "delegate"/"event"-like features); implementing (sadly somewhat-incompatible) modules that can curtail unbounded reflection, opening the door to greater reasonability and performance in the future; proposing Project Loom to avoid the async/sync API split that hit Python, C#, and even Kotlin Coroutines; and now Valhalla, which was quietly mulled on for years before arriving at this very reasonable solution that considers myriad angles.

I like this approach to language design and think it bodes well for the language's future. It's a sweet spot between being necessarily conservative, dealing with developers' real-world problems, and giving time to mull over new language feature designs and not just implementing as soon (and haphazardly) as possible to please vocal developers.

I gave a talk on "Deep Neural Networks for Video Applications" at the GDG DevFest conference last weekend [1]. It's crazy how powerful computer vision is and how relatively easy it is to apply to video streams. It's not perfect but you can absolutely replace a human watching video in most situations / use cases, for example:

* identifying vehicles & reading license plates
* identifying people and tracking them across cameras
* identifying products on the back of trucks
* counting people in queues or getting in/out of vehicles / stores
* detecting suspicious activity / shoplifting

Generally you don't even need to completely eliminate humans watching footage, you can just present the human with cases detected by the object and let the human decide whether it's a true positive / what to do.

It's scary but useful technology because there's no way humans can watch all the footage being produced by a billion cameras...
