Is there anything I proposed which would prevent you from voluntarily supporting her after a divorce?

Do you often feel that the highly specific situation you find yourself in should be the basis for laws applied without cause to the rest of society?

If you have an arrangement like that, put it in a contract yourself. Don't ask the government to force me to live by your rules.
At this point, I think we'll start to see an electron shell that you can install apps/extensions into. The main thing that will prevent this from gaining traction is ios.

Doctors: great question, no, they should try to save everyone's life. If I found a doctor that didn't, I would judge them to be a bad doctor, and would boycott them. I would boycott their entire practice, hoping they would fire that doctor. Wouldn't you?

Lawyers: great question. I believe when the government is prosecuting someone, they deserve a defense, so in that case, I hope some lawyer will defend them. If it's a civil case, like if Exxon is trying to sue some grandma to drill in her back yard, yes, I would hope lawyers are deciding not to take that case, and I might (if it ever came up) boycott a law firm that worked cases like that.

Question back for you:

You walk into a job interview, and the receptionist greets you with, "Heil Hitler! How can I help you?" Not sure you heard what you thought you heard, you answer that you're here for a job interview. The receptionist tells you to have a seat. A moment later, someone comes out and says, "Heil Hitler! I'm the hiring manager, are you ready for your interview?"

Do you take the interview, or do you walk out?

We do and should judge people based on their actions, and we should shun people who make extremely bad decisions. Like following Hitler. Like normalizing pedophelia. Like advocating for a race war. Like selling arms to terrorists. Like selling blood diamonds.

I think it would be wrong for a Catholic to boycott a Lutheran business. I happen to think it's wrong for a cake maker to not make a cake for a gay wedding. I might even boycott that baker. I don't go to Chic-fil-a or Hobby Lobby.

Which parts of this reply seem weird to you?
I was referring to the context of the translation OP provided, that's all. So—I guess we're in agreement haha.

I don't know how it works in US, but In Spain I can confirm that fines can be appealed and each "trafic fine proposal" by police is sent and verified/rejected by an external team of civil servants expert in driving-related laws.

I suppose that most countries in Europe have implemented a similar system.
The main driver of change on the main sequence is the change in composition in the core. Over time the fraction of the core that is hydrogen decreases and the fraction of helium increases. This reduces the number density of particles in the core since four free protons have become a single helium nucleus.

The decrease in number density causes the core to contract slightly and heat up so that the pressure remains the same. The increased temperature causes the rate of nuclear reactions to increase, which then increases the luminosity. The increased luminosity then causes the outer envelope of the star to "puff up" and the radius to increase.

This is not a dramatic process, but over billions of years it has a noticeable effect. The Sun is now 15% larger and about 50% more luminous than when it entered the main sequence.

This is actually the source of an open problem in astronomy called the Faint Young Sun Paradox [1]. Because the Sun was much less luminous in the past, the temperature on Earth should have been about 20 K cooler in the past, but geological measurements don't seem to bear that out. Somehow the Earth managed to stay warmer in the past given the same level of solar irradiation.

It seems very odd and again perfect timing for the administration to show up in Germany and complain about the planned pipeline to Russia.

And no, I am not a Russian troll nor do I have any connections to Russia. Check my comment history. I am just sceptical that one would do this and not just shot someone they wanted to get rid of them.

Is Putin really that stupid or was it someone else?
> But I'll tell you what: I do not miss HP/UX or AIX or Solaris or ...

I'm curious whether this includes Solaris 10 / OpenSolaris. It appears to me (as a latecomer) that Sun finally got their act together and shipped something technically superior to GNU+Linux, and that if they'd managed to stay in business that (Open)Solaris would be an extremely competitive offering. Or put differently, how much of this is that yes, the old unixen sucked, but just because they were old? I mean, if I compare Fedora 32 to Red Hat Linux 7 (RH, not RHEL), there's a world of difference there.
It a) happens all the time, and b) is a good thing.

Question for you:

You walk into a job interview, and the receptionist greets you with, "Heil Hitler! How can I help you?" Not sure you heard what you thought you heard, you answer that you're here for a job interview. The receptionist tells you to have a seat. A moment later, someone comes out and says, "Heil Hitler! I'm the hiring manager, are you ready for your interview?"

Do you take the interview, or do you walk out?

I happen to boycott Hobby Lobby and Chic-fil-a. Is that really horrifying to you?

People on Hacker News propose boycotting Google because they fired Damore, or because they were researching providing Search to China, or because they did or didn't work on AI weapons systems, or...

Worth noting that police typically "randomly" drug search black people/drivers at a much higher rate than white people, even though white people are just as likely, or more likely to have drugs on them.

It's then easy for (ignorant) people to point at those numbers and say look, 80% of the time when police search someone for drugs and find them, it's a black person, so obviously black people are more likely to have drugs on them so we should search them more.

It's like a higher-level version of being arrested for resisting arrest (by asking "what are you arresting me for?")

I speak 2 of those pretty natively and I'd disagree.

If you were to snap your fingers and everybody in Russia suddenly spoke English, all other things being equal, the culture would remain largely the same. Russians would still be Russians.

Sure there'd be a lot less formality among government workers than today, but otherwise life would go on just as it has before. Authors would still write about the same subjects in Russian voices. They'd just find different ways to be poetic or clever or deep, while still writing about distinctive Russian issues.

Sending a 10TB file on my internet connection would take 2.5 years of constant uploading. Shipping a hard drive is cheaper and quicker.
a bomb in a major train or bus terminal would be similarly devastating. a regional jet does not itself carry many more passengers than a train or double-deck bus. the thing that makes planes special is that, if hijacked, they can be flown into a large building to cause many more fatalities. even if someone is able to smuggle a weapon onboard, this is considered to be much more difficult than it was in 2001.
Isn't this just an actual use of the RealID for its (purported) intended purpose?

Don't get me wrong: I don't like this at all, and I think the TSA is at best worthless, but this seems like a complaint that the inevitable happened. And resting a legality accusation on a form not having a paperwork reduction act notice is kind of :eyeroll: even if it's true.

We are not arguing about the cost of education because students can't pay the tuition; they pay the tuition every year with no problem even though it keeps rising. The argument is because after they graduate they have a mountain of student debt. Students have a debt problem not a tuition problem. Colleges will keep raising prices as long as the students keep paying them because that is how markets work.

Loans have enabled all those "changes in education finance", all of them. You don't need to have 100% reach to influence a market, you don't even need to be technically in the same market to influence another one (see smartphones and taxis).
It sounds like you were self-publishing, right? If so, did you consider a POD solution like Lulu or any of the others out there?
> This presumes that in the process you and the clone don't diverge in thought patterns. The brain will change in minor ways throughout your life so during that small window the clone would have minor changes due to its different conditions.

This is true as a practical matter, but it doesn't have much bearing on the thought-experiment. We can just add the additional constraint that you and the clone are both in identical operating theatres and your thoughts don't diverge. I don't see that it matters much either way though.

> I would view a perfect clone of me to be the same as me.

But it isn't. If it suffers, you do not. You might not even be aware of its existence.

Star Trek didn't go that far, but it had the 'transporter', which disintegrates you and then synthesises a copy at the other end. It's mentioned in the series that some people refuse to use them for this reason.
High level point: the link https://www.grc.com/sqrl/phishing.htm acknowledges that phishing is out of scope of SQRL.

More specifically:

SQRL can prevent phishing if:
- The remote server limits sign-ins to what Gibson calls the "same device" mode (i.e., the SQRL client and the browser have the same IP)
- Attackers cannot spoof the victim's IP address (so excluding the case where the user has a malicious MITM at the IP or DNS layer, or where the attacker and victim are both behind the same NAT)

Theses are modestly valuable properties but are limited in two ways:

1. SQRL is likely not very useful if it's limited to same-device authenticators. If you have to have some credential on the device on which you are currently signing in, you may as well use TLS client certificates; they provide strictly greater security than SQRL while having the same usability. (In fact, a modern password manager—which, unlike SQRL, provides HTTP origin validation before prefilling a password—provides greater security with the same usability!)

2. FIDO provides strictly better security, both by supporting separate authenticator devices and by actually cryptographically verifying the identity of the relying party (the remote server). Bypassing the same-IP thing, as I noted above, is well within the realm of possibility.

At the risk of violating my personal "don't say mean things about people on HN" rule:

Gibson is at best an incurious hobbyist—unwilling to expend the energy to understand what else is happening in the field and, with that understanding, collaborate with open standards-based efforts to improve them—and is, at worst, a charlatan, promoting snake oil for some reason I cannot fathom.

I used to think he was the latter—selling subscriptions to "SpinRite" to gullible rubes who wanted to free their magnetic hard disks of gremlins—but I increasingly believe the former. Nonetheless, his ideas are ill informed and retrograde.
You're right. giant companies like amazon don't make you ask permission to use the bathroom. they just fire you for not performing at a pace where you fail if you use the bathroom, so then people start peeing in water bottles.

What is the practical* justification / value of knowing the name of every air traveler? Literally how is safety in any way increased (or any other benefit obtained for that matter) for anyone, either traveler or non-traveler.

I can’t even reason about cost or burden to benefit trade offs without knowing a benefit, and I have never seen any clearly stated. Just vague handwaves (“obviously this makes us safer” or circular justification.

* I am not asking for legal justification, which is itself unclear as explained elsewhere on John’s site.
Somehow black hole videos have ended up at the top of my youtube recommendations lately, and it seems like the binary star system is a somewhat common path to supernovae or black holes. And we know about some trinary and double binary systems out there.

I would think after supernova, the companion star(s) would end up in a modified orbit that would result in more destructive gravitational interactions (collisions, mass transfer, feeding or creating a black hole). To the layperson it feels like a matter of 'when', not 'if'.

Perhaps it's that I'm thinking that in a universe of a billion billion distinct examples of orbital mechanics, surely we are going to spot a lot of exceedingly lucky/unlucky events out there. Especially if we are doing any kind of observation that filters for those events.

After all, a one-in-a-billion probability event on earth happens to about eight people. If you know how to find them, it's a good human interest story.

Again with the blanket accusations of astroturfing without any proof. Crying shill whenever you encounter an opposing opinion is not something a rational and free-thinking person does. What you're basically doing is refusing to engage intellectually on certain viewpoints which just so happen to go against the interests of your home country's government. From the perspective of an outsider, it looks a lot like the result of brainwashing.
Let's be very careful about definitions.

"Totalitarianism: a system of government that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state."

I am proposing that private individuals and corporations don't do business with moral monsters, like say for instance, Nazis.

If a jewelry store sells blood diamonds, I propose to boycott them.

If a shoe is manufactured by slave child labor in China, I propose to not buy it.

It sure sounds like Nestle is doing some awful stuff around the world, maybe we shouldn't buy from them, either.

Do you really disagree with those positions?

Because this is just Free Association, where people have the right to associate or do business with whomever they like. And it could happen under a completely Libertarian government. Or even under an anarcho-capitalist or anarcho-communist society. Basically, the exact opposite of Totalitarian government.

Sounds like maybe you boycott businesses that work with totalitarian governments?

I wonder whether this could be abused by certain sellers to increase prices when your battery is almost dead. That would be evil, I hope nobody does it, but it is theoretically possible and I think the API should pre-emptively require permissions to prevent people from abusing it in that way.
Most of the agriculture land (77%) is used for crops that are fed to livestock [0].

However, I agree that something like you described would also be great. I'm unsure if it's necessary though, because going down that road will require a lot capital and human resources. Could we use that for something more needed?

> The third burning is certainly the best known: the Nazi Bücherverbrennungen that followed Hitler’s rise to power.

Soon followed by the Allies' own book burnings: a list was drawn up of over 30,000 book titles, ranging from school textbooks to poetry, which were then banned. All copies of books on the list were confiscated and destroyed; the possession of a book on the list was made a punishable offence. All the millions of copies of these books were to be confiscated and destroyed. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denazification#Censorship
There's probably heaps of patents involved, including those from partners (mostly Sharp?), but my dream is that one day Nintendo fully opens the Game Boy for use as an educational platform similar to Raspberry Pi. Imagine widespread tinkering in robotics classes.

There's probably less than a 1% chance of it ever happening, but man, I wish someone would at least float the idea to the NCL higher-ups in an interview or something.
>You seem to be implying that owning whatever guns and ammo it is you own will enable you, or the populace to resist the modern American military?

Last I checked the US military is in the process of concluding a 20yr war by negotiating a peace deal with a bunch of poor subsistence farmers who's insurrection is basically self funded and who have no ability to harm the supply lines or funding sources of the military. The fathers and grandfathers of these farmers had the same experience with the USSR.

Unless you are willing to destroy everything and kill everyone (an option armies and police forces operating domestically do not have) you cannot win against an enemy who's goal is simply to not be subjugated and who has more local support than you (they don't need much, just more than you).

This does not tell the full story. He participated in a couple of "nationalist" marches, and he was long-time a proponent of abolishing visa-free regime with Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, but he gave pretty logical explanations for his views.

A word of warning: 8-Bit Guy has some interesting videos, but his restorations of vintage hardware are really damaging to the hardware and generally poor quality (even if the final result looks fine).

In fact there was a paper in just the last few days showing that voice volume correlated strongly with aerosol particles emitted. That sounds like good advice to me, likewise singing inside a mask. Obviously not singing at all is safer still, but this still seems like it would be effective mitigation.

Even worse than "security theater" precautions are misunderstandings of the threat model. Pandemic mitigation is not a boolean function. Do what you can and choose strategies to sustain suppression, then stop. Find efficiencies where they lie.

In a low-infection-count region, I don't see why you can't sing quietly in a chorus with masks. It's surely safer than eating in a restaurant.
TIL about norm. Thanks!
I have mixed feelings about key export. :) That is indeed a fair criticism.

FWIW, in terms of difficulty setting up, I suspect most developers use libraries from people like Okta and Firebase, so the underlying implementation may not be the big differentiator.

There are certainly great examples of non-standards-based approaches beating out the cumbersome/designed-by-committee standard, but they're more common in cases where there are no significant compatibility challenges standing in the way of adoption. For example, any given developer can adopt JSON internally instead of XML, and at some point it reaches critical mass and everyone is using it, including for interchange.

In comparison, SQRL isn't useful until it's widely adopted, and because it's not a standard approach with built-in support on any major platform, nobody is going to use it.
Has PRC also started it? It would be interesting if they go after critical components like semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, machinery etc.
