Hard question, still disputed.

My point of view is, yes! Unless he opposed in a meaningful way. But most did their duty and did so proudly. And after the war everyone just did their duty because hey had to and no one was a nazi.

But the question also applies to today. The US for example use turtore and murder. So for some family members of people being murdered, because they attended a wedding in afghanistan, the whole US is guilty and therefore a legimitate target.
I do not think so, but I think people in the US should take this more into consideration when thinking about terrorist. Most terrorist legitimate their actions (and get support) by saying they fight back the evil empire.that brings them only bombs.
What process would that be? Genuine question, since the only process that the article mentioned apparently was only meant for law enforcement and registrars.

In particular, in the linked to lawsuit there's example sites that Facebook requested details for from Namecheap, and Namecheap chose not to give out the information. Many of them were 100% obvious phishing sites [0]. Clearly no option where the registrar gets to decide when to reveal information about the owner would work.

And as it turns out the proponents of helmet wearing for bicycles are car companies. Bike helmets don't really do much to protect the front or sides of the face, only impacts directly to the top of the head.

So people wearing helmets riding on bikes are mostly doing it for legal not safety reasons, regardless if they know it or not.
Agreed. But something I'd like to add:

You can read all the papers you want. At the end of the day, you actually need to practise writing code! Every piece of software involves a different domain, different requirements, etc.

I feel like the majority of developers these days just copy and paste stuff from the internet and glue some npm/nuget/maven packages together, brush their hands together and feel like gods. That is not how you become a good developer!

How do you become a good developer? Write code _yourself_. Then rewrite it again and again. Keep thinking "how can this be done better, cleaner, more elegantly? how could this be more readable, maintainable?" .. "Maybe others have found a better solution for this, let's do some research and investigate all options, weigh the pros and cons, and select the solution that fits best for this particular problem". Don't forget to factor in the cost of complexity. Is the code you are writing too difficult to understand for the next developer? Is the abstraction too rigid and complex? There is a cost to that.

Rinse and repeat. Sooner or later, once you've written enough code and thought critically about every line, you will acquire a "feel" for what it right and what is wrong. Then suddenly you are an industry expert. Suddenly you are training and mentoring others. Because you put in the goddamn effort.

There's no evidence all of this comes from cancel culture. As I said in a previous thread, the main doxxing comes from an alt-right dude who angrily posted Scott's personal info and clinic because he believed to be shadowbanned.

Seriously, look at Scott's post where he quotes disparaging opinions about him. You'd be surprised at how much of the vitriol comes from the alt-right, calling him limp-wristed, a beta cuck, as well as any number of Jewish slurs. And the alt-right does have a far more prominent record in actually killing people than blue-haired people on twitter.

One’s autocratic country is someone else’s ideal of social organization.

Should we stop selling steel to the US because it could be used to put migrant kids in cages, or weapons because it could be used to invade random countries? I’m not saying the answer is obvious, I’m saying the problem is complex and multifaceted.

Take Morocco: not the best government (somewhat theocratic, absolutist monarchy, big on unaccountable and torture-oriented secret police), but overall more peaceful and stable than its neighbors. Do “we” help continuing this state of thing, or do “we” let malcontent bubble up and risk turning it into a failed state and civil war? It’s shades of grey all around, sadly.

Well, it's a two-edged sword.

If you happen to live in a part of the world where freedom of speech is actively persecuted then I agree it's better the way it is. However, if you live in a world where democracy and due process is well established and you are not intent on doing illegal things then it can only help law enforcement and private citizens/organizations to seek justice under those laws.

There's some interpretation allowed, even encouraged. The goal seems to be to stick with something from the source rather than creating an entirely novel title.

If the title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."

Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

Terrible. :(

> Changing it in entire societies will take time, but there is talk about "growth mindset" vs "fixed mindset".

I am glad that things are changing, and rather disappointed/frustrated/annoyed that at this point in time it's still a problem. How can we as a society not instil in everyone a deep-seated belief in, respect for, and love of practice? Am I nuts or is that not so much to expect?

> there's a ton of fantasy where the other important tropes of Tolkien (great lost past, the dark empire, all good on one side and all bad on the other, the pure heroes) is missing. The first that come to mind are "the wheel of time"

We must see different things. As I see the wheel of time:

- Great lost past. This one's obvious; the Age of Legend is a huge focus of the books.

- The dark empire. Doesn't exist in the present, but it is a feature of the great lost past.

- All good on one side and all bad on the other: this seems to describe the wheel of time well? The whole story arc is Rand fulfilling the separate prophecies of every ethnic group in the world, bringing them all under the same government (his), and taking them to battle the even more unified forces of evil.

- The pure heroes. Not sure what this means.
Well, my intended conclusion was to reject "real name" policies altogether... But I agree that if you enforce the publication (not only the storage) of the birth date along the real name, then the discriminatory problem mostly disappears.
my point was this should be automated without human intervention, since there is no value lost for other readers, if it's just name randomized

How would we know that if they don't even have an antibody response? You're resorting to anecdotal evidence but there is no way to confirm this hypothesis empirically on a large scale.

Not sure you understand the Scandinavian/Nordic psyche.

My non-Scandinavian girlfriend never understood why people pay for the bus there if they never get checked. Or why people bother to leave money in a little box at an unmanned coffee/waffle/etc stand in the middle of nowhere. But most do as it is the right thing to do, guilt free.

And if there is a slight chance the tax authorities might contact him the guilt/embarrassment is worse than any token fine.
The "problem" with these systems is sharing changes - if I change the system you share with me for myself, it's really hard for someone to use those changes along with other changes. Integrating changes together involves handling merge conflicts in code we don't necessarily understand.

I think separating the data the system operates on from a series of smaller systems is the key here.
This story fascinated me because what I took away from it was millionaires not understanding what the market would buy.

And other millionaires hyped it up, like Steve Jobs/Woz.

When I first heard of the Segway of course it was cool, I'm a massive geek. But I'm not going to spend what was 80000 SEK at the time for a toy I can't even park anywhere.

And the whole purchase of Segway by China where they actually understood what the market wanted and launched e-scooters is the icing on this whole story.

Stay grounded.

One more unsung hero: Barry Boehm, who, in "A Spiral Model of Software Development and Enhancement" (1986), expounded on a iterative process in which each cycle is driven by an asssessment of the biggest risks threatening the satisfaction of the stakeholders' 'win conditions'. Does that sound familiar?

In answering the original question, one would hope that focusing on the risks to successful completion should de-prioritize the fixing of things that are unlikely to become problems in practice.

> Absolutely not. The scientific approach is to look at the new disease and see how it compares to other similar RTIs.

I think the the scientific approach is to use the best data you have at a given time and update your understanding as you get new data. You make a lot of big claims that contradict multiple specific studies with published results. It's clear you hope that the epidemic is over (as we all do). But hope isn't enough.

To quote Derek Lowe [1], a scientist working in drug discovery:

"Everyone will have seen the various population surveys with antibody testing that have suggested, in most cases, that a rather small percentage of people have been exposed. Think of the various ways you could get such a result:

(1) it’s just what it looks like, and most people are unprotected because they have so far been unexposed.

(2) the antibody results are what they look like – low exposure – but people’s T-cell responses mean that there are actually more people protected than we realize.

(3) the antibody results are deceiving, because the antibody response fades over time, meaning that more people have been exposed than it looks like.

(3a) the antibody response fades, but the T-cell response is still protective

(3b) the antibody response fades and so does the T-cell response. That last one is not a happy possibility."

So we essentially have 4 plausible scenarios that explain our best study results. We all hope it's (2) or (3a). But I wouldn't say that we have a lot of actual evidence to prove that yet.

x86 had a few undocumented opcodes. AAD and AAM have a second byte that should always be 10, but turns out to be an argument for base10 . There was salc.

A CPU, when it encounters bytes in its instruction stream, has to do something, whatever. If there is no interrupt for invalid instruction, it has to do something else. Common behaviour is shadowing legal insn's , but completely new behaviour is always possible
It's kind of LHC-like, isn't it? Same physics "but larger".. "will it work if we scale it up? Apparently: yes."

I think the big point, and what scares me a bit, is that we have yet to discover any sort of fundamental conceptual limit to the Transformer architecture.
> The hyenas are fundamentally sadistic and difficult to satiate. That's why they're poor - it's what got them banished.

Based on what? I’m only basing what I said on the original movie as I never saw any other content. I see the lions portraying them that way, but I see no obvious reasons to believe it’s true from the content of the movie. Maybe I’m misremembering, it’s been a while, but from what I remember they were a bit extreme but that just seemed like desperation.

> They make them hyenas to reinforce it's not brought on by the situation, they're just like that.

Except real Hyenas aren’t just like that which is why the movie got criticised by hyena conservationists.

This reads quite complicated, a simple example would really help to get the picture.

Just as side-note: There is already a kind of C module system, at least when you can live with GPL licensed code: The GNU Portability Library (Gnulib). It's a source code collection designed for portability and in combination with GNU Autotools a very powerful toolbox.
As somebody who loves both, I recommend watching the movie before reading the short story; IMO there's something the viewer only gradually understands in the movie that's explicit up front in the story.
I was fairly recently asked what the point of implementing a web application using React was, and what advantages it would bring over just doing it without a framework/UI library.

I couldn't really give a proper answer there, at the spot. But that doesn't mean I don't have an answer, it just means I wasn't prepared for the question. Like, how do I explain why locality is helpful? I'd need to spend some serious effort planning how to explain such a concept. And that's just a small part of the answer to the question.

My point is that sometimes the answer to the question you're asking is just huge, and requires a lot of context to understand. And providing such answers on the spot is very hard. So I think we should cut people some slack when they can't immediately provide an answer. Sometimes things are just not very obvious.

Just to be clear, I don't want to discuss the merits of React here. My point is just that sometimes things are too complex to explain fully in every situation. Everything cannot be understood from first principles. You need abstractions to be productive. By all means, question the abstractions, but perhaps not always?

No they don't. Electric scooters are definitely fast enough for bike lanes. Most cyclists in urban areas are only going like 12-15 mph, well within electric scooter speeds.

“Thomas Covenant” scarred my early teenage years. It definitely took the genre into places it wasn’t meant to be. I think only The Witcher has done something similar since (although I’ve not read the books).

Got it thanks. This assumption is of course undermined by the fact that seroprevalence of antibodies is not that high even in countries like Sweden. At the same time I know a person who had minor symptoms, was then tested positive in PCR but negative in a later AB test. Combine this with studies on SARS1 and MERS where only half of all asymptomatic patients developed ABs and the assumption you presented seems suddenly quite possible.

If it’s true however, the pandemic should be over in a couple of weeks?

This might be an unpopular opinion, but it’s ok with me. I don’t find restricting discovery needed to allow the filing of lawsuits to be something beneficial for society. There’s a real reason corporations need to have registered agents, mostly so they can be contacted (including to be sued) via a reliable process. I don’t see why a domain owner should be entitled to avoid official contact via privacy policies. I’m fine if there’s a reasonable policy to access it (including a possible workaround of an agent willing to accept official contacts).

That someone would use the information purely in order to sue someone is a desirable feature, not a bug.

Antitrust laws were always based on supply side monopolies, while this is a demand side monopoly, and would be a tricky case for anti trust to prove.

If the mandate is to do what is best for customers, then the best solution I can think of is to let FB function as one entity but toughen the norms on data collection. The other thing is Facebook should not inhibit any other social network trying to grow using FB's graph. A good example is how Instagram grew with the import of Twitter social graph, and when it came to Facebook, it grew further because it could import the connections that Facebook already had access to. In the name of privacy, it is a good idea to block that, but that essentially inhibits any other social network growing and becoming big. If such an export is available and allowed (while satisfying the privacy concerns), this could enable competition in the social space. As a gatekeeper, Facebook has every intention not to allow any usage to the graph.

The idea about breaking up of social networks would not do any good. You would eventually have to solve multiple problems (and again and again) as the broken up entities either die or become dominant in a big enough niche. Even if you break up Instagram or Whatsapp from Facebook, they are still monopolies in their domains. Insta might not be able to survive since they used the Facebook's ad delivery intelligence, while Whatsapp would be a dominant monopoly in messaging nonetheless.

This is a landmark case if brought on, but needs to be dealt very smartly, if they want to actually solve problems and set the right precedents.
