I, unlike the GP, actually do propose that, in preference to the current approach.

The way I see it, it should work like both the rights and responsibilities currently work for children. Children are not tried for crimes as adults (most of the time), because we understand their lack of capability, but that also means they cannot drive, drink, vote, sign certain contracts without an adult, etc., and small children can be coerced by their parents to an even large degree.

Either you are an adult and can participate in society, but then you have to take responsibility for your actions, including going to jail, mental illness or not.

Or, mental illness excuses you from responsibility due to limited capability, but then your rights can also be restricted accordingly.

The choice for someone committing a crime and claiming mental illness should be jail, or involuntary treatment.
If Voltaire wanted to say it, we would certainly support his preference in the matter...
I haven't but I guess the goal was to give a perspective of what it takes to design a normal part from 6000 series aluminum and see what has to happen to certify it.

You can extrapolate from there. We didn't have 3D printing as an option back then and I don't think it makes any sense even today. Sure, for prototyping it is valuable but even then we would make prototypes from the actual process (CNC) because then we can test the mechanical properties.

Most people think prototyping is holding the part in the hand and seeing how it looks. Perhaps if youre doing ergo work.

If 3D printing can go through rigorous process of understanding variation, void forming, failure modes, repeatability and reproducibility tests, sure it can be used. My question is - why? Perhaps a part can be made so that it saves so much weight with its shape that is not easily machinable. Then it makes sense. There are so many hurdles.

In some ways, 3D printed parts are considered "composite". It would need to go through some rigor as some of the theory/proceedings laid out in a book like this: https://www.amazon.com/ICAF-2019-Manufacturing-Proceedings-I...

It is very much under study and scrutiny.

So let them read what you don't want them to. If it isn't illegal or incitement of violence, it doesn't need to be removed.
They are having some agricultural yield issues recently due to the the mass flooding and other bad luck that has really added. And of course the right wing brains take that and start spinning stories, just like that dam that was totally going to burst and china was covering up.
IMHO it is a little sad reflection of humanity that people enjoy destroying things purely for entertainment, as I'm sure most of their viewers aren't watching for any scientific aspect. On the other hand, YouTube has plenty of content on creation and restoration; a lot of the latter which are unfortunately also fake.

This particular % is not typically used (60/40 or 80/20 is), but it is close.
Ideally yes, but the first time a kid gets killed because the school bus's transmitter fails there will be hell to pay. Will that be the fault of the passengers in the car? Or the car's manufacturer? The school bus's manufacturer?

This infrastructure will need distributed two-phase commit. For safety-critical issues like school buses, eventual consensus won't be good enough. And then you'll need an infrastructure that detects when an older or simply defective car is present but not participating in the protocol. These problems are all solvable, but they're by no means trivial.
They already said precisely that.

I would be surprised if he was in the administration at all. Most administrations don't appoint a bunch of their family members to positions in the government. That itself is corruption.
Great, I have issues with big tech and social networks in particular. Let’s outlaw bad behavior or talk about ways to put real oversight on their actions. I’m all for it. I bet a majority of Americans are too.

So let’s not mess with a law bedrock to the participatory part of the internet. Gutting 230 to get Facebook misunderstands the problem and will have horrible unintended consequences.
As long as we're correcting this story, note also that "far from any crosswalk" is also completely bogus. The place where the woman was trying to cross is where a paved path leads from a beach, and then just suddenly ends at this road. The only reason it was illegal to cross the road here is because they put up a sign. In the absence of the sign, every architectural feature of this landscape would lead a reasonable person to believe they could be here.

Litigation and actually hitting the scum in the wallet (the only thing they care about) is the proper and only way to discourage such behavior in the future.

If every consumer wronged by a supplier did this we wouldn't be having this discussion at all because suppliers would never let such problems happen or escalate that far.
The "authorization" is provided by the owner of the laptop, which is legally the owner of the shop, since whoever dropped the machine off signed a contract indicating as much.
Ah, to clarify my donation-based suggestion was for users to donate, not companies. Regardless, yes, if the majority of the money comes from a minority of the userbase (whether it be users and/or companies), you're going to have a bad incentive. However, making it a non-profit removes the burden of increasing revenue YoY.

I think it's going to be very difficult to make it a viable business, particularly for the job market. It's a usually a fairly fixed size, and when it's growing it's usually not when people shell out for extra subscriptions. Could it work? Sure. But it's a business that while it might be profitable, it won't be growable. That'll make getting investments difficult, and the whole chicken and egg problem that much more difficult to overcome.
Yea sorry if I was unclear, I was referring to slander and libel civil actions, and using an intentionally contrived example that probably didn't fall into the grey area as I intended.

I think the really difficult part about all of it is, the areas that don't require protections, aren't because the speech isn't damaging, it's that an uneven application of the rules can lead to worse problems. Or issues where it's impossible to find objective neutral parties (a jury) to decide on issues central to politics.
Eh. Try to walk down a liberal city with a nazi flag. Plenty of people will tell you to screw off.
This paper does them no credit, though. Cold fusion hs associated with the crazy fringe, and for very good reasons.
Can you tell me what version the app is?
You’re not even wrong. Parent is explaining past the level you’re working at. Closest you can get is their mention of composites. I’ll flip the script: show us some 3D printers that can output specific phases of steel, for example, and then we can talk.
Eyeopening. When "follow your Dreams" leads to this....well did you really dreamed about it that way? Where is the fun?
Looks like one becomes a "business" brainwashed robot spending way to much lifetime at doing ???????? just playing 'respect' to ego psychos for an in fact empty basket filled with $$$ paper.

Listen to signals your body sends, if there is no fun soon, it means STOP. Oh yeah you can watch datapoints, brainscans and talk to experts for years, but listen to what you feel is enough. It is hard to beat that "intelligence" sensor encorporated in the human shaped by thousends of years of evolution.

I wish this guy al the best, this maybe is the best thing he ever did.

I hope he can find back to a more satisfying life with lots of lifetime, enjoying doing fun things with his family!

No need to track down that destructive board member. He is sitting at work right in front of you on a basket with $$$, you listen to him as you think you need it for food and if you are priviledged for "dreams".. maybe just look in a mirror ?
Holy cow that feedback. It’s both great and awful at the same time. Great in that it was written as objectively as possible and concrete. Awful as in it was too long and he clearly put too much time in to it relative to how much the other guy valued him. I think the real purpose was to process his feelings and list out all the wrongs - I just think he should’ve separated them. Spend hours processing, spend no more than 15 min giving this jack off feedback.

Also hindsight is 20/20 but if you work with an asshole it’s not your responsibility to shield him. Escalate to the other board members and have them deal with him. He clearly values their respect so one of them (or better all of them) needed to sit him down for a talk.

It also has a definition that 99% of the people you are communicating with, who are not lawyers, are more familiar with:

the practice of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats.

You can't get your head around which part? The idea that the White House Press Secretary would tweet ban-worthy remarks? Or the part where Twitter banned the account?
The photos are legit, obviously, but the emails as are yet not authenticated. All we got to see was a PDF printout. The full emails, with DKIM headers, being released would solve this problem instantly.
As far as I can tell, the only reason cold fusion is even a thing is because someone published a paper that has never been reproduced. P=NP is at least possible: it has to be true or untrue. I'm not even sure if our current understand of physics even supports cold fusion.

I guess maybe it does seeing as how I got downvoted? Presumably by amazing scientists who have developed cold fusion technology? Or at least have a theory of how it could happen in our universe?
> Speech that is false and intentionally causes a panic should not be protected.

What is true or false isn't always clear though, even if there's a popular or official consensus.

The point of having a public forum is to give new ideas a chance, as unheard of or unpopular as they may be. Of course, with that you get the risk of misinformation as well.

As a society we must choose how much risk we're willing to tolerate, and really consider if the the downsides of the level of free speech we have today are really so much different than what we've historically dealt with.
> Remove this content and they are punished by the right removing section 230 protections. Allow it and the left calls them destructive monopolies and breaks them apart.

This seems to suggest a larger solution -- that these platforms do actually have within their power to implement.

Stop helping those two bickering ninnies by taking sides, and instead use the huge bullhorn society has handed them by screaming, "Shut up the both of you, stop bickering and maybe help the people you were elected to help!"

Who is right and about what are always less important than simply helping people. There is SO MUCH that is being left undone because we endlessly want to debate single issues for literally DECADES while people die in the streets.

Leadership was abandoned long ago and these gigantic bully pulpits could right the ship and instead they are being used as game pieces by their partisan owners. It's... sad to watch.
Most of the time, information shutdowns like this are targeted at antivax, flat earth, and holocaust denial claims.
Oh I loved this! Thank you for sharing it.
It does, however, mean exactly that if you sign a contract saying "all this stuff belongs to me if you don't pay me and leave it here for 90 days". Most places, from computer shops to car shops, have similar rules regarding abandonment and/or nonpayment.
They aren't in violation of current anti-trust laws (AFAIK), but if the problem is that companies have grown so powerful that they can control speech, that has parallels to the problem of companies growing so powerful they can control prices. So what I'm suggesting is, why not create new laws that target the biggest platforms, using the same framework as existing anti-trust laws?
If you mean “school fiscal responsibility” and not “educational funding” then say that. They are two different things with different solutions.
I logged out of my Google account in the app (well switched to "use this app without account") and it started working.
Enough to pay teachers an enviable wage, so that the job is desirable and competitive, even in poor neighborhoods (not just the schools with good test scores). Funding education reduces crime, homelessness, poverty... it's not a magic bullet and you don't just get there by throwing money at the problem, but with good policy and adequate funding, education is just about the biggest payoff investments that we can make as a society.
What links those accounts is not special, it's OAuth2. I don't think there's anything stopping different groups from running open OAuth2 endpoints that just provide a PGP based identity service. I actually wondered why Keybase didn't start an OAuth2 endpoint, because it'd put a big dent in some of the services you described.

Twitter and FB did a HUGE favor to Republicans and personally to Trump. Hadn't they blocked the story, would we see 1159 comments here? Instead of "oh, not that again!.." story, that would have died two days later, we have fireworks that will last until election and will have significant impact. Many of who were mildly leaning towards Biden will reconsider.

Wow, it's actually surprisingly fun to try to think of songs and hum or make similar noises to try to get google to come up with the right song.

I think I see a future party game. No song repeats, first person to fail to get Google to come up with the correct song while using no real words loses.
You know perfectly well that that's not a satisfying argument to what I said. Try again.

And, you're wrong by the way. Courts have already ruled more than once that it is, which is why Trump's account still exists.
> BLM Riots

This is a harmful characterization of an important movement. No protests on that scale are going to go without a hitch. That shouldn't minimize their importance.

> Researchers at the US Crisis Monitor analyzed over 10,600 nationwide protests between May 24 (the day before George Floyd was killed by police) and Aug. 22, and found that nearly 95 percent were peaceful [1]

Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back children while his children watched. He was unarmed. Even if the alleged sexual assault charges are found to be true, this is not how justice should be carried out.

Also. He is charged with sexual assault and trespassing. I can't find any source that he's been charged with robbery. These are serious charges. But it should be up to the courts to determine his guilt. Not the police or the court of public opinion.

Muon-catalyzed fusion is beloved to be physically possible at room temperature though as the catalyst has a half life of ~ 2.2 microseconds that’s not practical. But as far as we know cold fusion as described in the original paper is simply a mistake in the original experiment.
Why? I'm not a fan of that idea as I'd rather find ways to spur new competition. Also, anyone can live without Twitter or any social network, whereas its harder to live without electricity, water, etc.
Well yeah, given the choice between specializing in one area and acquiring specialist-level expertise in a bunch of areas before you're 40 (which is what von Neumann did -- look at all of the sections in his Wikipedia page [1]!), it's better to do the second one.

But most people are choosing between specializing in one or maybe two areas and having very-sub-specialist-level expertise in more. von Neumann's not an example of that kind of generalist.

Presumably the known providers such as Twilio, etc are blocked, but there are small companies that provide numbers from the same number ranges as the big cellular carriers so those are completely undetectable.

I suspect if there would be enough demand for this service, a "grey" industry of people buying prepaid SIMs and renting access to them would appear.
What do you think Occam's razor would say is more likely? That the documents in the NY Post's reporting are fabricated? (While also knowing that it's over 24 hours later and Biden's campaign has yet to deny that the emails are legitimate) or that the documents are authentic.

I'd give it at best a 50/50 likelihood of being fake, and would hope that a free and liberal society would demand a lot higher confidence than that before they start wantonly censoring things on the internet.
>"“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”"

>And I think it’s important to highlight as you have. People will say “well they don’t really _mean_ that”, etc. but they should be taken at their word. They do.

I'm not being snarky here. It seems to me that one of the most damaging trends we're seeing is equating a hundred million (and more) people with the loudest, most obnoxious and nasty .01%.

Painting folks with such a broad brush is a recipe for division, conflict and mayhem.

Assuming that someone with a Trump bumper sticker is a dyed-in-the-wool racist and white supremacist fascist is stupid in the extreme. And so is assuming that someone with a Biden bumper sticker is a totalitarian monster bent on total mind control.

People are individuals and should be assessed and measured as such.

It's intellectually lazy to just stick anyone who doesn't share your beliefs about Trump or Biden or abortion or gun rights or any of a hundred other contentious issues into a big box called "enemies."

And when you do so, you play right into the hands of the tiny group of folks who want to profit (politically, economically or both) from dividing us.

You have the choice not to do so. It's up to you and me and everyone else to step up and judge people on their individual actions, not some invented "in" or "out" group.
I don't know. If someone is still employed at that location, presumably a higher percentage can implicitly be expected to vote 5* compared to the average former employee. It's similar to the controversy over mailing ballots to specific neighborhoods based on demographics to try to swing the votes.

Based on the NYC reference I assume you mean Los Angeles and not the state of Louisiana?

Human binocular depth perception only works at distances of less than 30 feet, which is not very important for most driving. Everything beyond that is from other cues such as motion parallax, relative size, lighting and shading, and perspective.

The reason people become clumsy when using night vision devices is because they have a tiny field of view that only moves when your head moves. You can close one eye and walk around just fine. But if you attach two toilet paper tubes to your face, you'll have trouble balancing and avoiding obstacles. The clumsiness is caused by the lack of peripheral vision and the inability to quickly glance (since the only way to change what you see is to turn your head).
