Under international law, it is generally prohibited to sue a government in another country's domestic court system (state immunity). What exceptions to that general prohibition exist is a topic of great controversy, and different countries take different positions.

Exceptions for commercial cases–when a foreign government directly engages in international trade or commerce–are widely accepted. This case falls into that category, so Canada was not being particularly exceptional in allowing it.

Exceptions for human rights abuses, torture, terrorism, etc, are much more controversial. The US legal system is actually a bit of an outlier here (albeit not uniquely one) in being willing to entertain lawsuits against foreign governments on the later bases when most legal systems will not permit them.

That's a bit harsh. As someone who regularly uses flash cards, creating them really is a bottleneck. It's a lot quicker to handwrite something on a paper. It's not as effective, but it definitely is faster.
How does 0mq achieve that? For all I have read and tried to use of it, 0mq explicitly offers no message delivery guarantees, instead relying on your own implementation to achieve them. So, I don't doubt that your system works like you described, but I think you may be overvaluing 0mq's contribution to it.
Memorization works well in the long term if you use flash cards, which was the point of the question.

Calling it the China/Chinese Virus helps continuously remind the world that China are 100% responsible for the pandemic. The only reason I’m voting for Trump is due to him being able/willing to stand up to China. It would be great if more politicians realized that China is an issue that will win/lose votes so I didn’t have to vote against the majority of my beliefs.

As for arming Taiwan (I assume Hong Kong was a typo), well, it’s one of the best ways to help their country defend themselves from a Chinese invasion.
Right, all you need is a hashed object that includes the hash of the previous version. Git / most DVCSes are built on this but even they are more complicated than what you need.

What you actually want, I think, is a legal document that says "The parties hereby amend the contract previously agreed to on mm/dd/yy as follows: after paragraph 5, add .... For reference, a full copy of the amended contract is included. In the case of discrepancies, this description of changes, and not the following copy, is authoritative."
If you restrict to manufacturers, what about people who modify their vehicles? No amount of signing will be foolproof—tinkerers will find a way to extract signing keys.

The SDV-to-SDV protocol could borrow from the contact tracing protocol used for COVID which requires about 60% of prior contacts for a positive match [§].

If SDV A says that at 11:00pm today it passed SDV B, C, D at location X, then if we were to reconstruct the blockchain from the perspective of each of SDV B, C or D, the collected data should be identical to the chain reported by SDV A, otherwise we would simply discard records that conflict with the longest chain, similar to how the blockchain mechanism works with Bitcoin.

> I also want the pandemic to end ASAP. Which is why I'm opposed to mandatory mask wearing and especially to social isolation. These measures actually prolong the pandemic by delaying infections.

Yeah...I'm not interested in risking long-term lung and organ damage in the pursuit of an as-yet-unproven "herd immunity victory condition", just because some people don't want to wear a piece of cloth on their face. It's clear we won't find much common ground, probably best for us to stop discussing this further.

Also, elderly folks will still be left in social isolation with your solution, so it's not like it's a real win.

> where the timestamping party cannot be trusted to act honestly because of conflicting interests

But in this case, isn't whoever controls your code the "timestamping party"?

Looking at two examples:

A: With blockchain

The timestamp that the photo was taken is immutably, publicly logged.

B: Without blockchain

The timestamp the photo was taken is logged by you, the software provider.

What is a scenario where (B) is less secure than (A)? In both scenarios, you have no proof of when the photo was taken. It could've been two hours or ten minutes ago. There is no way to digitally verify it.

So it sounds like all you're doing it creating a public, verifiable record of something that you have no incentive to alter and something that doesn't actually verify the state of the vehicle at any point in time.

From personal experience, the most common types of fraud in this space are (1) just posting an old photo as though it were taken right now, and (2) posting a photo of a different vehicle. I don't see how either of these are prevented.

What am I missing?

(Full disclosure: I built software that does something similar for different types of clients, so I've worked on the problem of "verifying vehicle state" for ~10 years.)

> Even though we have Linux, I would love to see more dominant GPL projects out there. It is an excellent license when used strategically and I think it's dismissed as too extreme too often.

Unfortunately, the startup/business world has largely taken over most forms of open source development, and they've put a lot of pressure to change the default license for new projects from (A/L)GPL to ASL. That change enables a lot more exploitation of software projects and open source software developers and it's almost embarrassing how often open source projects and commercial open source entities are surprised when it happens.

I wish we could live in a world where the default was to contribute with time and/or money to support each other, but we don't. If we did, I think we wouldn't even need share-alike licenses. But we don't, so we do.
Uighur attacks only happened after a decade of repression. The CCP govt moved Han chinese into the region and took away employment and other things that Uighurs used to enjoy turning them into second class citizens. Some people out of frustration committed the attacks which is exactly what CCP wanted to fully go in and start clearing and fully occupying them.

You sound like a Han Chinese. Imagine yourself in their shoes. There's lots of Chinese diaspora in other countries. What if one of the countries decided to do that with the Han Chinese? Would you still side with the host country?

Colonisation of Mars is going to be a long process.

From my reading of Musk's various comments, he doesn't think it is likely he'll live to see self-sufficiency (autarky), but he certainly hopes that the arrival of the first settlers can happen in his lifetime.

Reducing this to a "two sides" issue is shameless deflection. What part of the dozens of reporting done on Xinjiang do you think is false, and what facts are you basing that on?

Yeah might get away with just version control. If my understanding of blockchains is correct, which it almost certainly isn't, then the core features you're after would exist in the overlap between a distributed VCS and a block chain, i.e. a series of commits, where I can verify that my sequence is the same as yours, and that both of ours are the same as the governments.
I use anki with org-noter and the anki-editor minor mode for digesting PDFs, a sort of hacked version of incremental reading. I just stuff entire definitions and proofs into it and use cloze deletions for almost everything, then I attach a bunch of screenshots from the source material in the "Extra" field for any context when/if I fail the card. That, combined with the load balancer plugin and a limit of 5 new cards per day keeps my daily reviews around 1 hour. I have 18,000 cards. I'm familiar with the 20 rules for formulating knowledge but I just don't care to break things down into atoms. So I cloze and forget.

> CCP must not go unpunished.

The CCP already went unpunished with the Tibetans. Very few people in the west cared and it was before China became member of the WTO. The current administration tried to impose tariffs on China which were deemed illegal by the WTO. Maybe the west should have cared BEFORE welcoming China in the WTO.

It is, but also note my other points:

1 - security-safe and type-safe from the beginning
2 - none of the additional programming paradigms. PHP wants to be everything in one language. I know you can still use PHP "basics" like that, but it's not going to be easy to find tutorials etc. showing that

The main point I wanted to make was not about the index.php file. In other words, I'd like a PHP3, but a clean, safe, very well-designed one.

I absolutely hate how YouTube music doesn't understand that I am using it for music... not music videos.

"Hey Google, play my music" on a Nest Hub in the kitchen so I can listen to something while cooking used to play music - now it often (but not always) insists on running whatever crazy video it found for my tunes.

I simply don't watch music videos. I have no interest in them. I don't like that they joined together my music and misc YouTube clicks together.

I'm now looking for an alternative. I just want what I had before. Listen to music and skip the videos so I can cook in peace.

Because Trump lied about nearly everything related to his finances for decades and has openly admitted that his followers are just gullible and will forgive him for it, so he doesn't care.

A cursory google search reveals this to be true and to his credit Trump is very open about his lying.

Are statements he's stood by and never apologized for in anyway.

Sorry, but your solution solves nothing. The transporter could take a picture of the odometer and tweak the image. Your solution is only as secure as the input flow and you can't control it. A blockchain can't reflect physical reality. It can only reflect what someone said/says physical reality is. Additionally, they have to trust you to push the "right" data to the blockchain. If they are already trusting you, you can just run the database yourself.
Correct. There is a core group here that advocates the positive elements, I know many prominent people who occasionally comment here but get downvoted a lot. For example https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=vbuterin Vitalik Buterin, creator of Ethereum, occasionally posts here.

You can do that with a plain old hash chain without any mining of blocks.

Certificate Transparency does this - each monitor adds records to their ledger and signs them, and the latest record includes a hash of all previous records (via a Merkle tree). Auditors trust any hash they see which is signed by a monitor. If they see two ledgers where one is not a subset of the other, they trust all the data in both ledgers. If this persists, they have cryptographic proof that the monitor is trying to not include some record it previously included.

Git does this. Each commit object has the hash of the parent commit objects. You can walk through a commit object and see what the ancestry is. If you push to a server, it can make sure that your new history includes all the old history, and similarly, if you pull from a server, you can do the same check.
