> stop anthropomorphizing animals

They aren't. No-one is saying that a pig has the same moral standing as a human.

> They aren't people. Their "feelings" do not matter

So you believe that animals are just automata with no consciousness? That animal cruelty cannot exist even in principle, any more than cruelty to sand?

Descartes believed this. Today, we know better.

> to call it "horrific" is a massive insult to the hundreds of thousands of people who work in that industry

This doesn't address the matter of whether or not it's cruel.

> I don't care if the animals I eat were happy, because no matter what happens they are going to be killed and I am going to cook and eat their bodies.

Do you believe animals are conscious and capable of suffering, or not? Either way, it doesn't matter that they die in the end. If animals are conscious, it doesn't inform our morality that they are destined to die. People are also destined to die, but this doesn't impact our moral obligation to care about their suffering. If animals are not conscious, it doesn't matter whether they are destined to die.
Networks all get their data from 1 of 2 places. Edison research or the AP.

Those two firms put in a lot of effort in collecting the latest data from the various state/county/city websites. All of which report there data differently, and is why everyone seems to have a slightly different total. I’m not sure if AP or Edison provide a free api nor not, but without using them as an aggregator collecting all that data independently is pretty much impossible.

Why do you need a blockchain if you trust the local election operation? And if you don't trust the local election operation, I have terrible news for you; they are still the legal authority. Citizens are already able to verify their mail/absentee ballot online, today, without a blockchain [1].

I do agree with you that the US needs to adopt something like Estonia's national ID system [2], with cryptographic signing capabilities for official purposes, but this should only (for elections) be used to digitally sign your paper ballot (with similar weight that your hand signature on a paper ballot would carry). We should also encourage mail/absentee ballots for everyone in every state.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. I'd put him at his mid-40s. He looks roughly my age. 50 is possible too.

Thing is, you estimate age mostly based on someone's skin, and with clothes on, that means face. It's very superficial. If you've got good skin, you'll look younger. There's a ton of products that will help. There are plenty of celebrities that are older but look younger. (Did you know Cher is 74?)

The most interesting part is really the health benefits: less degradation of various bodily functions, more stamina, better quality of life.

If I want meat I will eat meat. Plants aren't meat. If you want people to eat plants then promote some vegan dishes that are good on their own without relying on comparisons to something else. "It tastes like meat" is not a compelling pitch.

Bacon isn't advertised as "better than plants" or "tastes like plants". It doesn't need to.

BMW doesn't run commercials during NFL games where members of the public think their cars are Chevys.

When you pitch "plant meat" you are implying plants are inferior to meat in some way.
> Rc/Arc/RefCell are a band-aid for when that fails.

I would not describe Rc/Arc/RefCell as "band-aids", let alone as "admissions of failure". Rc<> is precisely the right approach for objects that might need to have their lifecycle extended by multiple 'owning' references; Arc<> applies when the 'owning' references might span separate threads. Cell<> and RefCell<> are for shared mutable state within a single thread, whereas Mutex<> and Rwlock<> serialize concurrent access from multiple threads. To reiterate, these are not clumsy "band-aids" or "hacks"; they're elegant, self-contained solutions to rather well-defined resource management problems.

It's true that some "core domains" are inherently unsuitable to Rust-as-it-currently-exists, due yo the need of general GC. But these domains are not very common, and future versions of Rust might well add some support for optional, self-contained GC's.

> Let’s say I buy and losslessly rip a DVD and upload it to Megaupload as a backup or to have access to it on the go. I don’t share the link with anyone and thus don’t infringe on the copyright by redistributing the content publicly.

this right here is (sadly) already a DMCA violation for the person who rips the DVD. I'm not sure whether or not that makes it a different situation for megaupload vs. a person uploading a rip of a DVD they didn't own in the first place.

second, the lawyers can probably argue that megaupload knew (or should have known) how widely each upload was being distributed. it's hard to argue you don't know that infringement is going on if you see hundreds/thousands of downloads through a link to a file whose hash matches a known illicit copy. maybe they were at least smart enough not to keep these kinds of logs, I dunno.

We’re talking about farming animals and killing them for food or fur here.

I personally go out of my way to not kill anything. I catch bugs and throw them outside. I move frogs and snails off the road when I get the chance so people or cars don’t step on them. I’ve never faced a bear yet though. But that’s a bit extreme. How many people face bears?

It’s not a competition, because something is worse than something else or not doesn’t mean we should keep doing it. Farming animals is unnecessary in the vast majority of cases so why not stop doing it? Same with cities and pollution, it’s not all or nothing. There are more and less damaging ways of building, ways that are a bit less obnoxious than the way we’ve mostly been doing it for the last couple of centuries.

I mean, there were a fair few news articles out there describing attempts to explicitly make voting harder and to throw out already cast votes.
You might want to read one of the trilogy of books we wrote on the subject, the first published in 1998, the latest published in 2015, or the collection of research reports we published as New Networks and now the IRREGULATORS, our consortium of lawyers, forensic auditors and other analysts,
the last book,
http://irregulators.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/BookofBro...
and our library of research
http://irregulators.org/our-work-reports-filings/

Moreover, the books and research not only use the expertise of our gang (or which some of us have been working together for a few decades) but, we quote primary research, such as annual reports, state and federal filings by AT&T et al, etc, much of which are hidden in plain sight, such as the Verizon NY 2019 Annual Report, which is the financial report of the primary telecommunications state-based public utility-- and ironically most reading this don't even know that there are still state public utilities left.
http://irregulators.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Verizonny...

The $200 billion broadband scandal was published in 2005 and that was based on examining the state-based commitments for fiber upgrades and the changes in state laws that gave the companies billions per state to do the upgraded-- i.e., rate increases and tax breaks.

The most recent work uncovered that the accounting has been manipulated in the utilities and caused the networks to appear unprofitable --- and we're preparing to take legal actions in multiple states-- it's about $20 billion annually in the US. https://bit.ly/3mQUWgf

As a former senior telecom analyst to the telcos 1982-1994--we knew were the skeletons were buried...so, we didn't just 'wing it', and the books detail our claims. So while others may follow in our footsteps... we've been at this for decades with actual documentation to substantiate our work. to see the latest, I post at medium.

Pro-life doesn't need religious or spiritual origins, it can simply be that someone views abortion as the killing of another human and feels very strong about it. It's a very complicated issue and is one that I don't have strong feelings about (for or against in totality) because I think that sometimes, it's worth it to end the life of the little human and sometimes it's not. Also frankly because I'm a man and am less affected by it. I don't think we'll ever have everyone on the same page with this topic.
Iconography can work outside the context in which it arose when it is sufficiently ubiquitous and new users learn it as an abstract shape instead of a nmemonic for the physical world.

I think that the 3.5 diskette will have staying power since the trend in applications is to constantly persist. The icons needed have shifted to SCM-like commit, branch, fork, diff, merge, revert. However, these are conceptually very abstract compared to "Save."
The usual response to this is that it enables vote buying.

I don't disagree with you that this is horrible... but you do know what the "happy path" for animals on farms is - right?
Maybe "trap door" is a better word.

My point is that these constructs exist so that you can do things with Rust that Rust isn't really ideal for. Any language or framework has cases that don't fit its golden path, and any (useful) one will have these trap-doors so that those cases aren't totally impossible. Another (more extreme) one that Rust has is unsafe { } blocks. Rc/Arc/RefCell move guarantees to runtime; unsafe { } removes them completely. And this is well and good: real-world requirements are messy and varied and rarely fit neatly into a predetermined model. But heavy use of trap-doors is a code smell, and may be an indicator that you're using the wrong language or framework for the job.
It seems like most people here don't see what the root cause here is.
System and user level processes with high order 'actions' for idempotent handling of secure channel operations (session negotiation, out-of-band data) are vulnerable to xss, side-channel attack for 'actions' that use stdout on/at execution of low order operations handling packed binary data that upon execution may contain shell code or encoded instructions.

they will patch a PoC, but how will we know the root cause is patched? the service parameters can be fuzzed by someone to check for injection (if they can).

tldr;
I don't know what the root cause is.
> I wish exist a super-charged RcRefCell that is "blessed" by the rust team as is with Rc

The syntax for that is Rc<RefCell<…>> and yes, this is clearly intended. The idea is that Rc is limited to managing multiple owners, while the RefCell part deals with shared mutability.

I don't think those things are required for it to be a JIT are they? I'd say it's a static JIT, rather than a dynamic, profiling, and specialising JIT, but both are JITs.

Well yeah... that describes a JIT.
Fascinating (not to mention somewhat disturbing) analysis.

One thing bears further thought IMO: the author mentions the false sense of achievement in games and its addictive nature as an analogy. The issue there is that, at some point the game addict has to look away from the screen: the game may end online service, fall out of fashion, the addicted gamer may lose their quick reflexes as they age, etc. And once they look away, they'll find that they have nothing; they've poured their efforts into something that has left them with no real status in society.

Similarly, people using robotic devices in this way will have poured something rather different into them but the result is still the same; at some point they'll look away and realize they have none of the status markers of society accorded a long-term committed couple / family. In short, the emptiness eventually hits home at some point in both cases. What will these addicts do then? What will become of them? I suspect nothing good, meaning that such robots aren't a long-term solution to the unfulfilled biological needs of those locked out of the reproductive pool.

>After voting, you could also give every voter a "receipt" where they could go online and check in the public blockchain to confirm that their vote was counted successfully.

The problem with verifiable voting has always been that it opens the market to vote-selling. If you can prove how you voted, your vote can be sold for a significant amount of money -- or worse, your employer insisting you vote a certain way, and asking for your receipt after. This won't work until there's a mechanism where you can confirm your vote while also having plausible deniability.

That reminds me of some stuff on entropy and biodiversity.

https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/bio_info/

I think my sense of things is similar to what you articulating. Take something like a water bear. It can survive in extreme environments and is very specialized to do so. If it changes certain characteristics, it's range of habitable environments may decrease significantly. To maximize it's survivability it minimizes it's evolutionary flexibility.

Species in more stable/predictable environments on the other hand can change more characteristics without impairing their ability to survive in their environment, so their stable/predictable environment allows them to maximize their evolutionary flexibility at the expense of being confined to that environment.

The main benefit here is not in how accurate the metaphor is today, but how consistently it is used. Save looked roughly the same in the 90s as it does today, across operating systems, across applications, and it's instantly recognizable. Perhaps what's a good comparison is traffic signs: no entry has very little metaphorical meaning but it's universally known and understood.

It’s nothing to do with what my gut is telling me.

If you are unaware of any work that contradicts the view you are espousing, then I suggest digging deeper. A few years ago I’d have assumed those kinds of source were painting an accurate picture, but if you dig deeper you’ll discover they are misleading.

A few sources you might care to examine are Gun Culture 2.0, and Open source defense. Both are written by liberal leaning people.

Your list of what the majority of gun owners support is what I said people support - background checks. You have expanded it to 4 points.

But if you dig into the research, you’ll find that when the issue is explained, the support becomes more equivocal.

At least you agree that it’s not that effective.

You claim it’s top of mind for a large part of Biden’s base - black people. I’m quite skeptical about that. Black people are currently the fastest growing demographic of gun owners. They are also going to be the targets of new gun laws - not the beneficiaries.

Gun control means armed police taking guns from black people at gunpoint, and black people being criminalized.

Are you really saying that is top of mind for black people?

https://medium.com/handwaving-freakoutery/guns-guide-to-libe...

More importantly, even if you are right, you are making my point for me.

My point is that if Biden didn’t have a strong gun control agenda, he would be more palatable to rural Americans and conservatives who don’t actually like Trump.

Are you suggesting that Biden would lose black votes to Trump if he dialed back the gun control policy?

That sounds completely implausible.

It’s not effective policy, and it works to keep moderate Republicans and rural Americans away from Biden.
