Correct, one example of that subdomain is; ca.gov domain is main domain of California Government, and each department of government have their own sub domain here, often at many levels, dmv.ca.gov, CalCareers.ca.gov, calconnect.ca.gov, dgs.ca.gov. All of these 4 have their own account options & passwords. Chrome displays all options on all domains, but on EXACT match, it just shows username, & shows other sub-domains under username, the ones which doesn't match with current dub domain.
> the party controlling the senate can exercise its heckler’s veto

I'm trying to think of a plausible vehicle for arguing that if the Senate refuses to vote on a nomination within a reasonable time, then that refusal (i) constitutes a waiver of the right to withhold consent and therefore (ii) is deemed consent.

Trademarks and copyrights are automatic, you don't need to do anything to have them (although registering them makes it cheaper to prove you have them).

Obviously "anyone should be able to pick up the torch" has the issue that the "anyone" may well be a malicious person who is seeking to defraud the users for monetary gain.
> Civilized society does control your diet, through food regulation.

No they don't. I can grow my own food and it is perfectly legal and loads of people do exactly that.

> you'll have to go a bit out of your way to find sex and violence.

Hardly. It's all over the internet. Even teens easily find it.

> Alcohol is indeed a restricted substance

Not for adults though, which is what we are talking about here, right?

> any injury-prone sports have been discontinued or modified to be safer

Only commercially. I can engage in the vast majority of the more dangerous version of those sports in my own free time any time I want. Play American football without helmets in my own backyard? Who is going to stop me?

So no, none of the things you mentioned are controlled to the point of being illegal. And even in rare cases where they are illegal (buying raw milk for example), no one gets thrown in jail for five years for doing it, and people do continue to do it and take those risks, and society does continue to pay when things go wrong.

> Obviously, you must balance the harm of the intervention itself with the harm that the intervention is trying to mitigate.

Who decides that? Because I find it difficult to put a measure on the cost of removing so many freedoms trying to make life risk free. It's not a society I would want to live in. I will temper that by saying I'm fully in favor of requiring people to wear masks in public. But only because it's a public emergency and in unusual circumstances I'm flexible. But what you are suggesting is long term and permanent policy.
I'm surprised that most of these answers are individualistic. I'm 48, so not really the target respondent, but I've got this to say: getting old is not about me, it's about what I have to give to my wife, my children, my colleagues, my church, and my community. I have faith I'll get what I need back from them, when I need it. For now, I'm investing in my future by investing in those around me.
I wonder how these would taste in a salad.
It’s a shame that no major online source or aggregator of news has tried to address this problem. Most sites already track what articles their users view; they could post a notification to everyone who saw it to inform them that what they read was inaccurate.
First, legality does not presuppose morality. America is the result of breaking laws based on personal preference, and taking up arms against the current government to get it done.

Second, other life destroying poisons include: alcohol, nicotine, sugar, fast food, dopamine hits from social media feedback/gambling/gaming... are you ready for the government to decide your intake for those?

The only thing prohibition does is fund organized crime, and increase the costs of policing by pretending that the "war on drugs" can be won. Taking drugs are part of human culture. It may as well be a war on human behavior.

When you subtract the dangers of dealing with cartels and policing, drug use is another form of escapism. As with any form of escapism, it can reach the point of abuse. We should absolutely have a social safety net for addicts of every sort, and it would be much cheaper than the costs of imprisonment and the war on drugs. Added bonus: actual liberty, instead of slogans on a bumper sticker.

I say this coming from a long line of addicts/alcoholics, including myself. If our drug of choice had been available from the local pharmacist:

- the drugs would have been cheaper and free of more dangerous cutting agents

- gangs/cartels would not make a dime

- we would've spent less time finding them

- some of us would have gone to rehab instead of prison

In a nutshell, even though we are poor, we would have had the same opportunities to get our act together as wealthy addicts.

And no, this isn't a crazy idea. This is how things worked before prohibition.

> Democrats literally threatened to pack the Supreme Court so they could get expansive interpretations of the Constitution to push through the new deal. They are constantly attacking structural features of our government and institutions ...

Court expansion hasn't happened yet, but if it does:

1. Them's the rules; sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander. (Or: Live by the rules, die by the rules.) (Or: Karma's a bitch, ain't it?)

2. What you call the "structural features of our government and institutions" are meant to serve the people, not vice versa. It's idolatry to put those features on a pedestal and declare them to be immutable. Presuming adequate protection of genuine minority rights, it's not illegitimate for a democratically-elected government to use lawful means to try to restructure existing institutions in pursuit of the majority's felt political needs.
The war on drugs makes no sense, it should in fact be called the war on some drugs. So called illegal drugs like cocaine and marijuana cause very few deaths, compared to tobacco and alcohol, less than 1% It has been established that the best way to reduce drug abuse is through education and support, this was in fact from a RAND study. The militant policing approach has not in fact reduced drug use in the USA.

I'm an embedded systems student and this makes me sad and angry.

I worked with software update mechanisms and they are an essential part of every IoT product.
They are needed to supply the product with security updates and consumers should be trained to allow for automatic updates as maintaining 20 devices is not something your average user will do manually. Or at least to install updates when they come along.

This just fucks the consumer as it includes a massive inconvenience. What's going to happen? They won't install the update as they don't want shit forced down their throat. But the bad taste stays, and instead of installing a risky update on other devices or investing the time researching, the consumers will just keep them at the current software state.

Thanks Netgear for fucking a whole industry.

Didn't the war on drugs grow out of prohibition though? It's kind of odd to think that a lot of common drugs were commercially available 150 years ago. One of the most popular soft drinks ever started from that even.

We also got anesthetics from the general availability of drugs. I doubt doctors would've tried using cocaine on patients if it had been illegal back then.
Ever since I had kids, being forced to work for a living has been a massive weight on my life. Inherited wealth would be a great help.

The problem with these kinds of hypotheticals is that had it been that way, you would not be the you that feels this way.

Aged as I am now, a windfall like an inheritance or a lottery win would probably be invested sensibly towards my retirement. But would a much younger me have blown it all on bitcoin speculation or something equally dumb that seemed like a good idea at the time?
>Why were either allowed to become laws. Moore's law was a little confusing in high school

Nobody allowed Moore's Law to become a law.

The so-called Moore's Law is really just Gordon Moore's Extrapolation of an observation. In 1965, he observed that transistor count was doubling every ~12-18 months. He extrapolated that this trend could continue for ~10 more years to 1975.

But journalists and readers like snappy poetic words. "Extrapolation" is a long-winded 5-syllable noun so it's no surprise that the 1-syllable "law" was used instead. Wikipedia says: shortly after 1975, Caltech professor Carver Mead popularized the term "Moore's law".[1]

Although calling it "Moore's Extrapolation" would be more accurate, it just doesn't roll off the tongue as nicely. Sometimes humans value the sing-song poetry of a meme more than its dictionary accuracy.

Our society should prevent stupid things / unknown things. Like lead paint.

And for everything else it should make sure people from themselvs are aware of the risks and should have options which are more favoriable then drugs.

I think the best way to evaluate an idea is to ask if you'd use it yourself. If it solves a problem for you, there will be others that want it - nobody is unique. It's when you think you know how to solve someone else's problems that things go wrong - collaboration is important in that case.
> But the guy had been selling methamphetamine too, which is life destroying poison.

Indeed, and if you feel this way, perhaps you should seek penalties against those who actually wrought the destruction: the people who put that methamphetamine into human bodies, where it does the harm.

I think you'll find that those people who hold the ultimate responsibility for this destructive act were destroying property that entirely belonged to them (to preserve or destroy as they please).

If we don't have the right to own and control our own bodies, the only thing in the world that totally unambiguously belongs to us, we have no meaningful rights to own or control anything.

At such a point (which is where we seem to be), they're not rights that are being respected, simply privileges temporarily afforded by the state to be revoked arbitrarily.

There is no widespread, easily producable alternative to alcohol. Prohibition is ended not because the drug isn't bad, but because it's truly trivial to make it, making enforcement impossible.

Meth has several good alternatives just as easy to manufacture(for big companies with the right precursors) that aren't neurotoxic. Think adderall, methylphenidate, modafinil, etc. Those bring the stimulation without destroying your brain.

I think, like many things, grade-skipping can either make sense or not make sense depending on the school, student, and classmates.

I skipped a grade in elementary school (joint decision between my parents, teacher, principal, and at least nominally myself!), and didn't suffer from any kind of bullying.

In my case, apparently I was actually creating trouble in my assigned grade, by being a chatterbox. I would finish my work early, and then proceed to hinder my friends' learnings by talking with them (understandably, because I was bored! you can only twiddle your thumbs or doodle for so long). Instead of punishing me, my teacher recommended me for skipping.

Through my extended family and their friends, I know many kids who are in the same circumstances these days: straight-A "troublemakers", especially in elementary school. But nowadays, skipping grades is seen as "unfair" rather than as a valid solution to a legitimate problem.

Because of something as arbitrary as their birthday, children are restricted from participating in a sufficiently challenging environment. I think we as a society are potentially trending too-rigid, especially in elementary school.

I have no comment on skipping 2 or more grades, though; I suspect the benefit of skipping grades drops off exponentially around 1 or 2 "skips", even for very gifted children.
These advancements wouldn't matter to someone who just bought a device last year but like Bill Gates once said, it pays off in the long run. So for someone who is upgrading after a few years, they'll notice it, and they'll continue to notice it for next few years before they make another leap.

Most of the usb sticks seem to perform about the same as microSD cards, and I wouldn't trust them (especially the tiny ones that get super hot like the Ultra Fit) for booting anything important. USB SATA/NVMe SSDs are just as reliable as internal drives, in my experience. I've had a few of them running 24x7 on my NAS for years (with decent amounts of activity).

And the Corsair GTX, while massive, is as fast as an SSD and supports UASP and TRIM. It's just big, and relatively expensive, for a 'thumb drive'.
My advice at mid-50s to younger people is to learn 1. manage your energy for your long term health, 2. enjoy time with the highest quality people you can find (I mean that in terms of good language, hopeful, constructive/collaborative in nature and working on themselves, empathetic to all those around you), and lastly say "yes" to almost everything and enjoy to the max. If my life were a candle, every year it is slowly losing some if its brightness/energy through no fault or effort on my own. I had an unusual situation which aged me faster than I ever wished for-- lost my mid-30s wife to a rare cancer 3 years after diagnosis. A part of me died with her and my heart will never heal. Still I wake up hopeful every day. We are all along for a short ride, enjoy the hell out of it. It could/will disappear in an instant.
Facial recognition would be much easier then looking for fingerprints. Given all the social media apps steadily growing their datasets, won't be long before a leaked dump of a greater part of the whole world population data will be available to anyone. Maybe facial surgery will be a major thing in the future. Or we will all wear masks anytime, beside viruses.

I know, that's not a bright vision of the future. I wonder where is the line where technology will switch from useful to socially dangerous and how far we are from it. To tell the truth, it already kind of switched from useful to a useless waste of time in many cases.

Or the day when FAANG & other big tech will get bored with selling those stupid ads and move on to more powerful and scary things.

No harm, it's more that after a certain amount of generations the information becomes pretty irrelevant. You arbitrarily choose to follow certain lines (for prestige or historical significance) and necessarily disregard others. Going back to the 1600s, you descend in equal part from one lineage you mention and many thousand others which remain entirely unknown.

> why does china care so much about the dalai lama?

I'd guess because:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_Tibetan_program

"a nearly two decades long anti-Chinese covert operation focused on Tibet which consisted of "political action, propaganda, paramilitary and intelligence operations""

"Although it was formally assigned to the CIA, it was nevertheless closely coordinated with several other U.S. government agencies such as the Department of State and the Department of Defense."

Dalai Lama is where he is now as the result of this.

Sortition with incumbency: if an incumbent wants to “run” again, flip a coin. All empty seats are filled by randomly choosing from a pool of volunteers.

Hey, I have been in similar situation. I took a full-time consulting job but couldn't let go of my ambitions. The first thing I did is started writing about my experience and why certain things did not happen the way I expected. On the side, I also started studying what made other products succeed .

I would suggest making a list of questions or template to ask yourself for any problem you decide to solve. Find out what you can do (given your constraints) and what you can't. For example, I prefer apps that don't require full-time support. Being in Non-US timezone, it will be hard to provide support.

I documented my questions here: https://amols.blog/product-led-growth/17-questions-to-ask-be...

These apply to side project as well. Do add your own or create a similar doc to guide you further.

Good luck!

Your comment (and my comment) strike me as seeking connection and seeking recognition - both classic behaviors on Maslow's hierarchy of needs (a model).
