There is a pending legal challenge to parts of DMCA 1201 being spearheaded by the EFF (Green v. DOJ) but I have no idea if it'll actually pass. I hope it does, as there is a legitimate conflict in law between free speech rights and DMCA 1201's restriction on circumvention tools. However, that doesn't mean they're automatically unconstitutional. It just means that strict scrutiny applies. That means it's constitutional if-and-only-if:

1. The restriction is necessary to a "compelling state interest";
2. The restriction is "narrowly tailored" to achieving this compelling purpose; and
3. The restriction uses the "least restrictive means" to achieve the purpose.

So, I can give you some spoilers: copyright is explicitly mentioned and authorized by the US Constitution, it even gets it's own separate clause. That means copyright is automatically a compelling state interest, and it follows that if we have code that enforces the law, we also have a compelling state interest in protecting that code, too. The EFF's case (and, more generally, any constitutional challenge to DMCA 1201) is going to hinge on the 2nd and 3rd questions of the strict scrutiny test - could they reach the same goal of automated copyright enforcement with a narrower, less restrictive law?

Regarding your particular objections to treaty negotiation, the WIPO Copyright Treaty's undemocratic negotiation process is immaterial to constitutional questions. This is because the US Constitution is explicitly opposed to that. It says the President negotiates treaties and the Senate consents to them. It provides no provision for further democratic control in international relations. In other words, international law is inherently and constitutionally undemocratic. Think about what it means for that to NOT be the case: we'd need every treaty to have a corresponding election in which the citizens of both countries have an up-or-down vote. Very few treaties work this way; the EU sits comfortably at top-of-mind but that's about it.

I wouldn't assume that the reason resistance doesn't last in some case is just due to suboptimal triggering, although as I said I don't know much of anything about vaccine development. I do often encounter people with inflated opinions of modern medical understanding that does not match reality, so I am suspicious that your claims are not necessarily grounded in reality. I'm also not interested enough in the topic to look into it in any detail. I do agree that it isn't necessarily impossible for a vaccine to cause lasting resistance even if direct exposure does not.
No it's not. When language is changed as a coordinated political effort to rebrand something it creates something akin to a streisand effect. For commercial products, whatever, no press is bad press. For science, it's a problem.

Protip: Only do the temporary change. It still lasts like 6 months so it would cover practically everything. You could potentially miss something later but for me it’s a solid trade.

It doesn't seem like anything could be easily changed at the federal level, especially something as unpopular as a tax hike.
You should probably double-check on egress data pricing from AWS.
They wanted to get rid of cookies as much as possible as that's part of their business plan (privacy). So they found a better CDN that didn't use cookies at all, so I'd say they made out like a bandit.
Probably not. It takes Megawats of power to ensure the small antenna on the proves gets the signal, it's not feasible to put such a thing on a spacecraft. Add to this the limited usefull life of Voyager's RTG power source (after 40 years, half the plutonium have already decayed) and we can conclude that this is not a good idea.

I don’t disagree that there’s a problem, and removing plastic from the environment is definitely a good thing to do, but if reclaiming plastic when it’s all in one place (the transfer stations, landfills, or even the cargo containers) and easy to collect, how can it possibly be sustainable to skim it out of the ocean?
Your landing page looks cool!

They fit a TWELFTH-ORDER polynomial to the noise data. Twelfth! If you're ever fitting a twelfth-order polynomial to any data, ever, you need to seriously re-examine your underlying assumptions. I would go so far as to say that anyone fitting a 12th order polynomial to observational data is an idiot, at least when it comes to statistics.

> In fact, by several measures of religious commitment, religiously unaffiliated people in the U.S. are as religious as – or in some cases even more religious than – Christians throughout Western European countries. For example, while 20% of U.S. “nones” pray daily, only 6% of Christians in the UK do so.
The religiosity of the US seems to have been of a different kind than elsewhere. There's a good book that explains how America seems to have always been a land of magical thinking, including in the secular realm:

> America was created by true believers and passionate dreamers, and by hucksters and their suckers, which made America successful—but also by a people uniquely susceptible to fantasy, as epitomized by everything from Salem’s hunting witches to Joseph Smith’s creating Mormonism, from P. T. Barnum to speaking in tongues, from Hollywood to Scientology to conspiracy theories, from Walt Disney to Billy Graham to Ronald Reagan to Oprah Winfrey to Trump. In other words: Mix epic individualism with extreme religion; mix show business with everything else; let all that ferment for a few centuries; then run it through the anything-goes ’60s and the internet age. The result is the America we inhabit today, with reality and fantasy weirdly and dangerously blurred and commingled.

It’s 2020. Why Do Printers Still Suck?
I was wondering the same thing. The US isn't a homogeneous blob, neither is Europe. For instance you'll likely find that religion is much more important in Poland than it is in France. In much the same way, I suspect, as in Alabama vs California.
Have there been any studies about whether U.S. adults are more likely to lie to pollsters than Western Europeans?
Not an aeronautic engineer, but to compare to a similar mass like a bird, having wings would make the hobby-sized drones quite a bit bigger. I assume there's also the ease of changing direction / altitude that comes from having the paired motors, controlling tiny planes would take tiny ailerons and flaps (which, like you say, may not scale down effectively).
Is this platform only for hiring freelancers? Or agencies are allowed as well?

HP, when it was controlled by the founders, was famous for three things: (1) uncompromising product quality, (2) cutting edge research, and (3) treating employees well — they wouldn't even fire people for incompetence, just reassign them, on the grounds that a hiring mistake was the fault of the company.

Today, they're just a label on minimum-cost consumer junk.

Comparison to current SV companies is left as an exercise for the reader.
Totally agree that reduction of pain is a worthy cause.
I am also vegan for this same reason. Animals in factory farms face continuous torture (look at Dominion or other undercover investigations to learn more). Once I learned this, I could no longer enjoy animal products.
Typical cost of schools is $10,000 per year. If you're doing $200/month, it's pretty good!

The majority Americans have a choice in ISPs, so do you think they should be able to block any websites they like - just like Twitter?

Hey, it’s their platform... don’t like it, go somewhere else.

And every American has a choice in cellphone service providers - so they can block journalist they don’t favor too. What could possibly go wrong?

i'm not interested to argue about the first point.

Re the 2nd - I can come up with an argument supporting my theory that it is not only a social construct as you imply, but I will invite you first to prove your theory that this is ONLY a social conditioning of a woman that makes her make these choices, and there is no biology involved into that (Or very little).

To shade a shadow on your theory (as i assume this is a social construct theory) i recall some info that female orangutans were more interested in dolls and males - in more male toys similar to humans.

Also, in Scandinavian countries that ran out their way to make their societies egalitarian, even more women were choosing "traditional female" jobs than what the "social constructionists" were trying to achieve by their "gender equality" agenda.

But i will not argue about all of this as it is all well known and documented and people just need to make a 3h research on the internet.
You might be right

Here they are side by side https://ibb.co/4Zn4qqX
Would it make sense as to build such a design where wings are integrated but Tilted at an upward angle, so when the drone is angled downward to improve forward thrust, the lift is generated by the wings and the motors are used mostly for propulsion, dramatically improving efficiency and getting the best of both worlds?
Agreed. I think to a fairly tech literate person from the early 2000's it would look like an awesome Windows/Linux hybrid. To a sys admin from that time, it would look like a nasty, restrictive ball of crazy. I'm personally really interested in the librem phones because Id love to carry a fully functional Linux box in my pocket, something I could write shell scripts for and run them from simple GUIs.
That doesn't make throwing a metal tube through the air intrinsically safe, it just means we're very cognizant of how dangerous it is.
Using a fountain pen, refilled from an ink bottle, is not too expensive. Buy a $20-30 Lamy Safari as a good first pen (the shape of the grip helps to ensure you hold it correctly). Unless you're writing novels by hand, a smaller ink bottle will last a long time. I've not had to buy new pens or new ink for a couple years (I'll need to buy more ink soon). I keep a couple ballpoint pens around for random things where that's easier (what they can write on, not all papers take fountain pen inks very well). I don't buy those, they're usually the freebies given away by car dealerships, doctors, banks, whatever. I use them until they stop writing.
Back when I was doing web stuff for clients I got a lot of help through hostgator chat function and it was great. It all depends on how knowledgeable the person on the other side is. The medium is fine in and of itself.

Western Europe is more secular than US, but as a whole there are still plenty of religious places, a lot of basement mosks in the outskirts of cities, you won't find that in US because of the difference in demographics.

What I Learned after 4 Years of React Development
I'm glad I was so confounded by the title that I had to click - that was a fun read.
Europe, with its "regulated religious market", people couldn't switch religions as freely so organizations had no incentive to provide good services. Demand dropped because quality fell

This is certainly true, the CofE has the status of Official state religion and makes absolutely no effort to “recruit and retain” churchgoers, if anything it views ordinary churchgoers as a massive inconvenience for the bishops who would rather swan about their palaces enjoying centuries of accumulated wealth and privilege.

That is still a much better deal for the homeless than the deal they get where this is no redemption value. Homeless often do walk into recycling centers in cities where there is no redemption value, but they are lucky to get $.01/can when selling by weight.

Recycling centers are common if you know where to look - the ugly side of town is an ideal place for them (both because they are by nature messy, and because competition means they can't afford are more expensive area). Many small towns have a place to recycle (most small town industry has enough metal waste to make it worth recycling, so there is demand)

Though in Iowa the way the redemption works is any store that sells it must take it back. I don't know how redemption centers work, because we don't have them, instead every supermarket takes their cans back. This ends up being a war on generic soda: coke/pepsi you can take anywhere, but stores will reject the other-store brand cans making them a hassle to sort.
All of my plastic bottles go in my recycling bin that the city collects every week. I'm guessing they must make some money off of it. Also, the homeless seem to do a really good job of getting plastic and aluminum cans off the street. I rarely see any of those items littering the area. It's tough and hard work for them...
Not an expert, but I'd guess quadcopters are much easier to pilot. You press a button and they go that way. Taking off and landing on wings is very difficult in comparison, requires more space, more facilities, more organization.

But this isn't happening in all states, yet you see the same consolidation of ISPs almost everywhere across the US.
I believe they are discussing large transactions. Maybe Monero is a better alternative.
That's what Amazon did with theirs, correct? It must be difficult to control or have some other drawback, otherwise it feels like such an obvious win.
I'll openly say this is based on nothing - but my Jewish family is both highly educated and still religious, but religion holds a cultural significance and the significance of a community rather than a true 'belief' significance- a Jewish Atheism. I could see the same being true of Muslims - they are holding on to their traditions (which happen to be religious).
> I'm just not sure what's happening in Asia, South America, and Africa.

Latin America seems to be all over the list of top deaths/capita for the whole pandemic, but currently the worst places (per capita deaths in the last 7 days) seems to be mostly central/eastern europe, though Argentina is pretty high in both all time and recent deaths/capita.

Where Africa is doing well or just doesn't have good surveillance to even identify cases, I couldn't say. But if a place doesn't have much inbound tourism, doesn't have lots of people able to afford international travel, and doesn't have the kind of internal mobility common in the developed world, it would make sense that they might not get hit very hard without taking much in the way of special precautions.
Not sure why the title here complains about overpopulation when the title of the linked article doesn't contain the word.

If one truly believes that we should not try to extend anyone's lifespan due to overpopulation risks, that is equivalent to wanting people to die earlier than they have to, which is equivalent to not caring about attempting to treat aging-related illnesses such as cancer (the reason being that the best way to live longer is simply to lower the risks of what is most likely to kill you as much as possible, so neglecting this is equivalent to a shorter lifespan). I hope wanting people to die is not a very popular view and find it confusing how many people believe Earth is anywhere near its carrying capacity. Perhaps the main argument is related to environmental impact, but this obviously is not a static ratio of impact:person years, and is meanwhile improving in many areas.
> Also, you might be missing some clients because many would think you provide mediocre service since you charge so low.

I guess I can see that. The thing is, my rates are not low at all by the standards of my country. Minimum wage here is like 50 cents/hour.
Planes with wings, by and large, do none of the following: hover, fly sideways, fly backward, fly straight upon or down, land or take off vertically.

I say by and large because there are exceptions, but they are complex, expensive, and compromised.

I honestly don't see a huge value proposition in Scala, now that Java has reduced pain points around FP. Scala has higher-kinded types, but you see people tie themselves in knots with those as often as not. It is just such a huge language.
