In part this is arguing over a definition of nature.
You're going for the obvious "We are part of nature because nature created us and we work within the system." while they're going for the idea of it being more strictly influenced by evolutionary change which we have the ability to 'escape' (escape in the sense that we can go farther than an animal can due to being able to design larger systems without having each step useful).
The definition of "we are of Nature" is essentially "we are of Physics". This is true, but its not really useful.

On your morality lines:
Morality is a personal concept in people, but it is influenced by society and the people they interact with. There doesn't have to be some objective right/wrong, and so people can say that the scientists were being immoral (according to the person's own moral ideas).
The scientists may very well believe they were being moral, or perhaps they didn't think about it (people do that!)

> that our nature-created brains have led us to create?
Well, as stated before, morality isn't the same between humans. There's no objective authority that decides X is right or Y is wrong, simply social/cultural influences throughout the world.

You could view morality as a way that you think the world/people should behave to maximize some value you hold. Perhaps you value sentient life, and so you hold self-sacrifice to save a dozen people to be a moral good as it continues more sentient life.

Supposedly if dividends and capital gains were taxed at the same rate as personal income, capital would just go to countries where it's taxed at a lower rate. Supposedly.
I taught this in 6th grade social studies in Ohio (a state in the USA) two years ago.

A reasonable interpretation of the standards should see this being taught in all 6th grade social studies classes across Ohio.

3. Geographic tools can be used to gather, process and report information about people, places and environments. Cartographers decide which information to include and how it is displayed[0]

There were a number of videos explaining this concept. I remember this one from Vox [1] in particular resonating with the students.

So while we might have been short changed (I grew up in Ohio), the curriculum is improving.

>> Critical to any military, much less society, is the concept of a warrior class

> The GP was talking about a sort of caste, ... treated distinctly from generation to generation

If it's true that the kodah meant that, then it is patently hilariously absurd. There are many militaries, and many societies, that haven't worked that way, and some of them have been successful. You mention the modern "west" (though I don't know why, because it's just as true in the USSR or in China or in etc etc), but this isn't even the best example. Many societies required all citizens to be equally warriors, such as most first nations societies, or for example the Mongols. So clearly, if kodah meant what you claim they meant, they would be really really really wrong, like ludicrously wrong.

As such (and this is my point), it's probably better to assume that the kodah didn't mean that. It's probably better to steelman, rather than strawman.
Why creating native x86 needs a licence, but emulation don't? If a cpu is running microcode, how far away it is from emulation?
Libertarianism/free-markets is not "lies and bullshit"..

In Wisconsin at least, the biggest opposition to the Kochs was the state's public sector teachers union. During their protests, you saw some promoting full blown "abolish private property" Marxism.

The conspiracy theories emanating from these rent-seeking tax dollar consumers in the public sector, alleging that the Kochs are trying enslave America with low taxes, and are brainwashing Middle America to go against its own interest by advocating a reduction in the size of the bloated public sector, and a scaling back of the privileges given to public sector unions, is the "lies and bullshit" that so many have been whipped up into a frenzy by.

You have an entire generation of extremist radicals who are convinced now that the advocacy of the free market is a giant con being perpetuated by a small cadre of billionaires, and that the Economics profession has been coopted by this sinister elite as well.

This conspiracy theory was generated by the rent-seeking public sector unions, and its spread was faciliated by unionized journalists.

When only three out of New York' state's 55,000 teachers were fired in an entire year, you know that this group is wielding enormous power and has managed to completely hoodwink the masses with their anti-free-market/class-warfare conspiracy theories:

>Finally, because Linux is a ubiquitous server operating system, its security is under constant attack, and Linux desktop users benefit from fixes to the vulnerabilities.

I think this kind of argument works both ways

Attacking servers is harder and probably may give you better "reward" (stolen data), but...

Attacking normal people is easier (I think its fair to assume normal user is worse at computers than e.g trained admin), so you can do it at bigger scale and normal user may not want to sue/find you/call cops meanwhile if you're hacking companies then things are more likely to be very serious.

Thus, both are under constant attacks.

Didn't Epic actually create an entire presentation video advertising the contents of their update?

Again, I fully agree that Epic was knowingly in breach of their contract with Apple, and wanted to use the public as leverage. But that doesn't, in any way, make their update malicious for the end user.

Splitting hairs here, but Intel’s 60% profit margin has nothing to do with what Apple “keeps” by making their own chips.

It could be dramatically more expensive to make an M1 chip and Apple is making the trade off for performance/walled garden security.

Just because you believe that there is some benevolent authority that we can just "give up liberty" to an everything will be ok doesn't make it the only opinion, even if it's easier to think about.

It's easy to see how if there is attention and power that comes with a big enough crisis, everything suddenly gets framed as such a crisis (see rights violations, climate crisis, war on drugs, bullying, etc.) So you better hope that whoever gets to exercise absolute power in the case of a crisis is on your side and shares your values.

Those who trade liberty for security get neither as the saying goes. But I think the above is well understood, and I guess rejected by some, because I see so many positions that think giving away our freedom is ok.

What we really need are stronger politicians who can unite people and find compromises between freedom and public health measures, that help us collectively move forward. This crisis has shown how weak politicians have become (and how horribly technocrats and corporates have been at filling that void). Leadership is not forcing people to do stuff, that only makes society more divided and undermines attempts to solve problems. We need leadership and we don't have it.
Naming and shares use can make this one or the other. If it is a specific sequence of things that are commonly done, then putting it in one place so an update will keep all call sites in-sync. A small and simple function can sometimes be worth it, as opposed to that which 'mechanically' done (by humans) not with semantic significance but rather 'I can dedup this'.

The litmus test is if a reader sees the function name called somewhere and presumes what that does. If there's high confidence (across all people) in that presumption being correct and if they were to look at the body would see it do precisely what they thought. It doesn't matter if it does it differently as long as it has the same result as the expectation. Also don't name it one thing and do two things in there.
Yeah, my experience is that these behave in unusual ways: it’s ok, but they always feel a bit off, even compared to Electron

Yes, they were a despicable regime, and unfortunately their name still mars the idea of socialism. They also claimed they were democratic, and surely many believed that as well, but we haven't let that ruin democracy, so we shouldn't let their laughable claims to socialism ruin socialism.

Yeah, but then it is supposed to - you are expected to have knowledge to fix it as a user. And unlike proprietary OSes it gives you legible errors and great logging/debugging tools and a path to downgrade. Last time I had to help my friend troubleshoot his Windows setup all we would get would be an extremely cryptic error code and we solved it by finding a thread on an Italian forum and had to google translate a solution that consisted of creating an arbitrary entry in Windows registry. This is not comparable.

It is really about the modulation scheme limits (distance v noise). Most ethernet networks have been full-duplex on an individual link level since the early 2000s.
Were you able to do that without digging into the walls? My house had a bathroom and the kitchen upgraded by the previous owner and we did the basement but most of the house remains on knob-and-tube.

I've gradually added GFCI outlets to each circuit. They're not grounded, unfortunately, but they do trip if something were to go wrong. And it allows us to plug in 3-prong plugs without using those horrible 2-to-3 adapters.

We had to change home insurance companies because Amica blacklisted us the instant they heard there was knob-and-tube wiring. A few other companies have the same approach. But it's not like homes are spontaneously combusting everywhere because of it.

>Linux users don't have to worry nearly as much about malware, trojans, viruses, exploits. It's more secure.

In my opinion it's flawed logic _if_ you wanted to say that "Linux is more secure because windows has more malware"

>Linux user experience is much more customizable.

In what way? desktop? kernel tweaks?

If locking everyone in their homes and pressuring them to wear surgical masks everywhere were “common sense,” they would be common practices already. They make no sense from a health perspective. The idea that healers should wield total power over the economy is similarly new.

No, lies and bullshit would require self reflection. Both of those things have always been things the well fed and well off let their children play pretend with while making sure they never have to figure out how to feed themselves.

I am 44. My entire life, speaking as someone who grew up conservative, libertarianism has either been about weed or drugs. And then about what degree of freedom one should have when arrested with either.

Ask a poor person or a minority what it is like to be arrested with either. Stop role playing nonsense and join the real world.

1. There are nearly a million Linux gamers on Steam alone.
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/index.php?module=steam_linux_s...

In fact, the latest versions of Proton are so good, the only games I haven't been able to get to work with regularity are the ones that require EA Origin, and honestly, I've had similar problems on Windows. In fact, sometimes the Proton version of the game works better than the Linux binary. So, if gaming is holding people up from switching (which is a common excuse), that's not as much an obstacle these days.

2. Any time there is an update, it's an opportunity for something to break. If a user has no choice when a computer updates, they risk interrupting important, time-sensitive work. So, a user must ask themselves, are they more worried about their machine possibly used in a botnet, or are they more worried about it rebooting right in the middle of a meeting or video call? Or taking 20-30 minutes to update after an unexpected reboot, such as a power failure? I would rather have the choice, and deal with problems caused by updates only I want to, when I have the time. Also, many zero-days are for software that's over a year old. As long as a user has done an update in the past year, which is a reasonable expectation, the risk of compromised security is much lower.

3. Facebook downtime and the incapability to launch any third-party application at all are two very different problems. Further, Gatekeeper is not the only source is potential problems. Windows Defender has been known to quarantine DLLs and executables that are perfectly harmless, but fixing problems caused by an overzealous update to (and application of) Windows Defender definitions is often beyond the capabilities of the average user.

4. The Linux kernel absolutely supports non-free drivers. Inclusion of non-free driver "blobs" is a common argument.

In fact, I would like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as "ideological Linux", is, in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux...
I remember it doing this as well. But I just tried it now and it doesn't anymore.
Um, comparing two or more countries only works properly if they're all dragged to be centered on the equator.

Most apps don't need that feature. In fact, the apps which insist on electron experience often misuse it. Think of the zoom daemon that remained on mac desktops even if you uninstalled zoom.
We've all heard of controlled burns, but they've obviously not been used effectively in California. It's estimated that around 4M acres burned annually in CA before modern firefighting, so unless you're proposing controlled burns on the order of millions of acres I don't see how that makes it sensible to deploy this particular technology in any widespread way.

Given how calfire abuses the tools they do have (e.g. aggressively stopping wildfires that pose minimal threat to human settlements), I wouldn't trust them not to abuse this one as well.

But how much does it even really matter? Far more fires are started by humans than lightning.
What's wrong with paper? Single answer: Consistent recounts. For example, the US had two really high profile, narrow elections (2000 and 2020), and they still cannot figure out how many times to recount to believe the result. Best of 3 recounts? Best of 5? Keep recounting random places random times until the person you like wins? Does that even change or improve anything?

With paper, it's 100% guaranteed that "No two recounts will ever be the same". It's a human process. Two humans verifying it will never come to the same conclusion. One will say the "ballot stamp was not in the right place", another will say "chad did not fall off the paper", someone else may just be tired in the night, so on and on. As a democratic society, we have had large cases of recounts that it's not even a surprise anymore. It has become the go to whining and agitation tool for losers.

For the continued functioning of democracy, we have to put an end to this recount problem. If a winner wins by 1 vote, it should recount to the same 1 vote difference no matter how many times you do it. If not, elections are undermined (and thus democracy).

As for the "voting machine", people in this forum are really not good for judging as they think in terms of "modern" tech software with C or Python with a running OS. Read this thread for more info [0].

A good way to describe the voting machine, is a dumb printer. It originally exists to print a proper valid ballot for the elector who then drops it off. The machine just so happens to also have a secondary counter in it while it prints, so it can be secondary verified for extra safety. The paper is what matters and it's still there. This is called VVPAT, Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail [1].

Over the course of time, after many many recounts, it becomes obvious that the machine-printed ballot and machine do not ever diverge. So it just so happens that for convenience, the machine has grown to get counted first. If anyone has a doubt, they can easily go back and verify the ballots which are stored forever. It has been proven over and over to give consistent recounts and restore trust in elections.

Trivia: First time a Cabinet-rank senator in India lost election by 1 vote [2]. Recounts tallied down to 1. It has happened again. Chaos still did not break out. Candidates were not fighting over who was the winner. Reason? Voting machines and verified ballots. Recounts won't change reality.

I'll finally leave you with the summary of an excellent video on elections in India before/after voting machines. Every loser will complain and blame something. Hacking the voting process, obstructionism, who's issued voter IDs, where and how many voting centers are placed, gerrymeandering, media, pre-mature leading polls, on and on and on. All this thing about Voting machines is a classic case of shooting the messenger. The voting machine only exists to give one less reason to blame on. Don't shoot the messenger [3].

First off, you are right in that Linux has major security issues and isn't perfect in it. However, outside of the comments that have already been posted in defense of linux's security, in the end, Linux's relative obscurity at the moment DOES effectively lead to less viruses. Compare that to Windows, who for all the security measures they implement ultimately lead to more because it is simply more targeted. While this isn't truly reliable security, at the moment it works better.

Either way, Windows compromises all of your data nonetheless. So not only are you actually getting viruses, your data's stolen anyways. Compare that to Linux, where viruses aren't as frequent and no ones siphoning your data. In the end, who's better off?
Libertarianism is just about putting off when you admit you messed up.
Tools like this one might be better at highlighting the flaws of map projections, but I don't see how anything could be better than a globe at showing the true relative sizes and shapes of countries, since it shows them as they actually are. In what way do you feel the globe doesn't show the differences between countries well?

While I agree with all of these 100%, I'm a UI/UX designer, so Adobe continues to hold me hostage to my Apple and MS boxes.

Some of the Linux alternatives are good, but they still aren't as good as Adobe. I still do quite a bit of JS development and some app development on my older Linux rig, but I just wish at some point Adobe will pull their heads out and support Linux. I remember in several threads on the Adobe forums, the attitude towards Linux users was pretty offensive. Their argument was all the Linux users would want Adobe products to be free and open source and its not something they could do and still support all the Apple and MS people "who actually pay for their products".

It pissed me off enough where I did give it a full go on Linux with Gimp Shop and some other alternative open source alternatives, but it just wasn't the same - which really bummed me out.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that Adobe's Creative Cloud app is a total resource hog as well. Not to mention any of their programs you run will quickly eat up to a gig or more of your resources.
Except that some of Antarctica is below sea level. On the other hand, the reduction of gravitational pull from the melting ice will actually cause sea level drop around Antarctica ( which obviously makes it worse for Equatorial regions)
