The natural tree line in Scotland is fairly low - not many trees above 500m. However, the main cause is too many deer - wolves and other predators were killed centuries ago and in most of the Highlands land ended up being used for sporting estates that naturally wanted plenty deer to shoot.

Fortunately rewilding is now a big thing in Scotland - the white tailed sea eagle has been reintroduced, beavers are are increasingly common and people talk about reintroducing lynx and maybe even wolves.

Trees for Life have a nice video about Glen Affric:

One thing that is a huge shame is that natural forest growth really only happens on islands in lochs or in fenced off areas where the deer are kept out.

While the government was essentially always the organ of violence of the ruling class, Marx is essentially the first one to make that idea. The idea of the State as an instrument of class warfare is a Marxist idea.

And indeed, the concept of ruling class and of class in general in the sociological sense of the world also comes from Marx.

As for the Greeks, while they of course had a violent State (as we've seen, all States are organs of violence), they didn't view the State that way. The conception of the private/public sphere that they were discussing distinctly comes from Greece.

> Why wasn't this mentioned in the Bible?

That's not really a problem Catholics have. It might be for Christian groups that have a different view of the role of the Bible.

Though I suspect the discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence will also expand the scope of interpretations of various parts of the Bible, including John 10:16, so “this wasn't mentioned in the Bible” will be a disputed point.

> I understand that Catholics usually believe in evolution, but how could they square away the fact the vast majority of all life could exist without knowing salvation via Christ?

There was a time that that was true of the vast majority of humans; if that's not a problem why would it be that it is today true of a broader class?

Beyond that, there a various schools of thought on the issue within Catholicism:

Aren't there stories about improper arrest and torture quite often?

Heck, a friend of mine was improperly arrested recently (the cops lied about what he was doing) and I actually met a guy who had been tortured (soon before I met him) by a state secret police.

I also knew a Holocaust survivor. I can't be the only person who thinks states behaving badly is more the norm than the exception?

Keysmith – create custom keyboard shortcuts for your Mac
From my, admittedly hobbyist, perspective, I would avoid writing game logic like this without using the command pattern[0]. Whether you're impurely updating values directly or purely inputting and outputting the game state, without commands your function is always a black box. This is more convenient initially but when everything is a black box it's difficult to write 'meta' effects correctly. For example in a card game you'd often have things like 'if this happens, do that as well/instead', do effect X twice, change the target of X to Y, etc. If you diligently implement everything as "state -> [command]" , then meta stuff behaves a lot better, as does undo/redo, logging, and debugging. Note that some might scoff at explicit command structs and write everything as simple closures, but then you get none of those benefits. While the linked example is from an OO language, I think it is more functional than the "state -> state" style, because everything except the commands themselves just does computation to produce values instead of transforming a big state bag into another.

I at least have read Marx. The idea that the government is a tool of class warfare is distinctly Marxist, as he's the one that made an argument for why this is. This is why Marx advocates for the State, before it is dissolved, to be put into the control of the proletarian class, the do callee Dictatorship of the Proletariat (which isn't a dictatorship in the common sense of the word).

At least from what I read, I don't think that they were arguing that Marx wanted the State to be an instrument of violence, just that he observed that the state was an instrument of violence for the ruling class, and made a good argument for why it would always be unless class itself was abolished. I think that they were referring to this intepretation, which is also compatible with what you said.
This is one of those posts that burns into your mind. Totally changes how I think about the model. Kudos!
You're literally just arguing against how the law works in the US. I'm not going to argue against the fictional legal system you've set up in your head.

The 36 Cinema stuff resulted in a new copyrighted derivative work: the commentary. And they can distribute that commentary all they want...but to distribute the underlying films as part of a commercial offering they need copyright licenses to those films. It's irrelevant that the underlying films are not for sale at retail, since they can still acquire a copyright from the copyright owner.

Format-shifting isn't fair use. It's literally an act of copying that is subject to copyright protections. Format-shifting might be fair use, but you have to do the full analysis, and format-shifting to avoid paying for a copy in the destination format is not fair use.

That's just one of the things that the fair-use rules and exemptions in copyright were written to help resolve positively.

Now you're just making stuff up. 17 USC 107 sets forth the basic rules for fair use, and they're quite limited.

When was the last time you saw a VCR?

Last week. Best Buy and Walmart still sell VCRs...Millions of people in this country still have old TVs with purely analog connections.

You are not obligated to pay for content again and again in every medium, format-shifting is also an allowable kind of fair use.

Actually, yes, you are, since each offering of the content in a different medium is a different copyrightable work subject to its own copyright. A VHS copy of a film is very different from the Bluray copy of the same film.

I guess my second edit and your response crossed each other.

There are lots of people on this site who have different levels of English, from different countries, and all of whom are not technical but might be interested in the details of a technical discussion because they work in a technology adjacent field.

I mean I often see lawyers, business owners and similar non-technical people taking part in discussions and hoping for some clarification so they can see how it relates to their field, which really a war on general computing really relates to consumer's rights.

Also I don't know that I consider clean room basic to the premise. More like, adjacent...

Colonoscopy is absolutely painless. However, in my case, when I woke up, they took forever to tell me the results (about 30 mins), so expected the worst. I'm an incredible patient person, but in this case I got up of bed and screamed to the nurses: "can you just tell me news now? I can handle it." I later realized they were just having a printer problem, and the doctor had left and they couldn't reach him to speak to me, but everything had come out ok. But I hope people are told the news immediately after they wake up (whether good or bad); some of us have been contemplating impending death since being referred for colonoscopy. They were the longest 30 mins of my life. I've never screamed at somebody, and I wonder whether the anesthesia had anything to do with it.

> "Fair use" is entirely a legislative creation of Congress, and theoretically Congress could take it away.

If you have a court decision that shows a court interpreted Congress' actions as revoking fair use by the enactment of DMCA, then I'll concede the point, (but you won't have one as the DMCA does not explicitly revoke fair use.) DMCA laid out protections for copyright owners who sought to protect their copyright with eg. DRM schemes.

That doesn't revoke fair use. It just makes it practically difficult to utilize, since you might have to (illegally) circumvent a copyright protection device in order to access those fair use rights. They are still there, copyright owners just have a few more tools in their toolbox to prevent you from accessing them lawfully.

Is Youtube's "rolling cipher" such a mechanism? Debatable. Is the proper remedy a DMCA takedown of the entire youtube-dl source, or something else? That's all something for a court to decide. Only certain uses of youtube-dl are potentially foiling anti-circumvention devices like "rolling cipher", it's a utility that works on many video streaming sites, (and substantially many of the works on those sites are not protected by "rolling cipher" or similar, possibly any, DRM.)

"is more about perception than reality" does not refer to reality in the literal sense you have used it here; if it did, the phrase wouldn't mean anything. But it does mean something.

In the phrase, "perception" refers to superficial perceptions such as what a person looks like via their photo, and how they are imagined to be, the perceiver filling in a lot of gaps to fit their ideas; "reality" refers to perceptions from experiences with the person, such as you might get from actually hanging out together, talking, arguing, living together, getting to know each other.

Anecdote I was told by a hospice medic is athletic people's hearts tended to outlast their life, i.e. at the end the only thing going was their heart.

About the same time, I used zeromq in a project for similar reasons:

- I didn't know much about networks

- It is nice that you can ignore application startup order if you don't care much about reliability, which I didn't

If I knew then what I know now, I would probably have picked something else. For one, I couldn't make it integrate with my main event loop, so I had it block in another thread, and that caused a problem of inter-thread communication that was nearly as bad as the original problem, for me as an inexperienced noobie.

Here’s an incomplete list of things Trump has done to stand up to China. I challenge everyone to name a single person (or country, or continent) who’s done more than him.

- He refers to the Wuhan Virus as the China/Chinese Virus (CCP is trying very hard from distancing themselves from responsibility; they won’t even let us into Wuhan to investigate).

- He started a trade war with China, which has forced companies to move their manufacturing to Vietnam, India, Mexico, Taiwan, etc. (Biden admittedly said he would end Trump’s China tariffs, but the many companies that already left are unlikely to return), and even high end tech such as the iPhone is starting to get assembled outside China as well.

- He was the first US President to speak directly with Taiwan's President since 1979.

- He made the largest arms sale to Taiwan in the past few decades.

- The Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act and the Hong Kong Autonomy Act were signed under his administration.

- The TAIPEI Act was signed under his administration.

- The Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act was singed under his administration.

- Meng Wanzhou was arrested under his administration (which dragged Canada into it because China decided to arbitrarily arrest Canadian citizens).

- China Mobile was blocked from offering services in the US, citing national security risks.

- Huawei was blocked from using Android and chips with US tech (which will effectively kill their mobiles once their stock runs out).

- Huawei was blocked from building 5G networks (USA paid other nations to block them as well).

- Hong Kong’s special status was revoked.

- Universal Postal Union agreed to let countries raise postal rates after Trump threatened to leave - this means you’ll no longer be able to buy cheap junk from Aliexpress (and resellers like Wish) at no shipping cost (the receiving country was previously forced to deliver the products for free, even if you brought some toy for 10 cents).

- Trump is pushing for WTO to drop China’s developing country status.

- TikTok and WeChat (likely with more to come) would’ve been blocked by now if it wasn’t for judges temporarily blocking the bans.

There's a reason China's GDP growth in 2019 was the lowest it's been since 1990, and there's a reason China's worldwide reputation is at an all-time low. That reason is Trump. It's also no surprise that all the nations that suffer the most from CCP's actions, such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, etc. tend to be pro-Trump.
Is an interesting article. Title here could have a [2011] tag.
Yeah, I think the system would would have to go hand-in-hand with proportional representation (similar to how Bundestag seats are allotted in Germany).

So, if 80% of you 100-seat state votes, 80% voted X and 20% voted Y, you'd get 64 X's and 16 Y's.

This way, both parties are incentivized to vote. Instead of today.

In my opinion, it's harmful to our democracy that members of the "losing party" feel zero incentive to turn out on election day. It encourages disengagement and disillusionment, not to mention the polarization of the electorate.

In Germany, the "crazy parties" get some seats, so their voices are heard. It has a pacification affect on the mainstream parties.

It’s not an unused letter that you can snap up as a cool way to write zero. People will read it, some will recognize it and assume it has meaning, because it has. That’s how letters work.

There are zeroes with dashes through them, but if you look closely they almost always take care to keep the dash inside the (non-)circle zero to make the difference clearer.
