> I'm not interested in who large media say are dissenters or conspiracy theorists because I can make that judgment myself: it being trivial on first listen.

Yet you are repeating exactly the same things as they do in the same manner by focusing on the crazy people.

I have said many times in this thread that are always those that are on the fridge and they do not represent the whole.

Dismissing all dissent (which is what you are doing) as crazy people is wholly disingenous.

> Like I don't actually need someone to tell me Qanon dudes are crazy. I just have to listen to the Qanon dudes themselves. Of course they are convinced they are dissenters exposing the corruption in Big Pizza. Heroes, I'm sure.

Again you keep on strawmanning by saying that everyone is a crazy and ignoring the very prescient point about dissent. It is very tiresome when people engage like you do.

> That's the funny part. You keep bringing up this Big Media Telling You Who Is Real thing like Big Brother is in charge when I kinda don't really need Big Brother.

Then why are you repeating what they say point for point? Odd that.

> When this guy comes walking up to me saying that Joe Biden has a secret sex dungeon where he keeps children he abuses that he farms using mutant tadpoles

I am 100% certain this event didn't happen. So you are basing your stance on a falsehood. That must be fallacious.

Based on my experience (not a lawyer) this depends very much on what company and (in the US) what state you are in. Google had a very broadly scoped right to your work in the paperwork signed when you got on board. Barring those agreements states, like California and Washington, explicitly have laws giving workers rights to their work done without using company resources.
I, on the other hand, dislike this design. Consider how many devs use Apple products - proprietary products that come in a walled garden, and that in many ways go against developers. A good amount of it comes down to aesthetics. Were Sourcehut to have, say, a "2020 theme" or something, that would help lots of those devs appreciate it more.

Developers are using macOS despite it continually removing features from developers, and are even in some cases defending Apple's decisions. I believe that this design actively harms the adoption of Sourcehut. There are definitely other things Sourcehut should do if they want more of GitHub's and GitLab's marketshare, changing their UI (or adding an alternative UI) is an important part of that process.
Surely, but at what cost?

Exploratory human experimentation... maybe you're testing and aborting half developed humans which already many people would have significant problems, but eventually you're going to have to produce adults and not every experiment is going to be a success.

It's hard to think of a future of our species where self-modification is not part of our evolution, but it is a very powerful tool and like any power a lot of discipline has to go into not misusing it.

Nice one. Was fun playing with it.
What really riles me about taxation is that generally people who work longer/harder/smarter to increase their net worth get taxed far more than those who increase it because they have a spare 50k they put into the stock market.

For a just society we should tax working far less than taxing capital and dividend gains, not the opposite.

Maybe there is no direct business value but maybe indirectly some of the people hit by this problem could wonder if they should buy their next laptop from a different manufacturer or advise their friend to do so.

> more time joining global virtue signaling parties

Could you give some examples of these parties and an estimate of how much time was spent on them? I could try to guess what you're referring to, but I don't want to put words into your mouth.

(An uncharitable interpretation of what you said would lead me to believe that you're objecting not to "virtue signaling" but to virtue itself, which is not a helpful assumption for me to make).
> if a dev simply copied the entirety of someone's code and simply renamed some variables, could they claim it's their own original work (without worry of legal recourse)? I'd figure not, in which case, how much of a difference is different enough?

This would most definitely not be enough. That would basically make all licenses useless - commercial and noncommercial alike. The MIT license is no different than any other license in that regard.

In case of the MIT license, whenever I copy any code (files or parts), I always place a comment right next to the section, pointing to the source of the copy and containing the license of the code/copyright marker. Honestly, what’s the cost? My ego doesn’t take a hit from admitting that I found and adapted something useful. The possible uses of the code are unaffected. License situation is clarified for audits. The original author gets credit for their work. There’s only upsides.
There's a setup often seen on older UK and European city building - full height doors above the ground floor with a hook or pulley at roof level, so heavy objects can be lifted to upper floors with a rope or chain fall. Haylofts for barns worked that way, and the concept was copied into urban design. These are sometimes retrofitted with a railing, so people don't fall out.

Faux balconies are an imitation of this. Sometimes, on gentrified industrial brick buildings, builders actually add the hook at the cornice line. It may not be rated for actual lifting. I've seen this in Southwark, in London.

It's one of those things where the original purpose has been forgotten, but imitation continues.
You should accept that the supreme court is a nakedly political body just like the other two branches. The idea of some impartial body of judges who can strike down laws or in the case of qualified immunity just make them up is absurd. Do you think that the fact that judges often split 5-4 along ideological lines is just a coincidence, or that conservatives put such a high importance on the court during the last election so they can elect an "originalist"? The garbage passed by Roberts about "balls and strikes" is insulting, and the fact that people blindly accept it is beyond me.
"However, it was mostly smiles, laughter, and happy people. Indeed, the locals were actually dancing in the streets, to the sounds of multiple sound systems blasting music around the ‘hood. Invitations into homes and yards were being extended, food and drinks were constantly being offered.

That never happens when I stroll through a wealthy neighbourhood."

At least a bit of encouragement.
You could look to the legal system in the United Kingdom, Canada or Australia, which has the same basic structure, without the bizarre political pageantry surrounding the appointment of apex court judges. In these countries judges are not considered “liberal” or “conservative,” at least not by the general public. Theories of judicial interpretation are treated as an obscure philosophical concept taught at law school, not a mainstream political issue that affects elections.
Looking at the historical track record, I'm not sure you really want to raise "genocide" as a talking point about why communism is superior...

Yes it will, because the UK is hosting the United Nations Climate Change Conference in 2021 at which a lot of vital decisions will be made or ratified.
unfortunately, the further you move generically from the human, the more extraneous variables you introduce and the lower the relevance of any result. There is a reason drugs and experiments are performed on primates. Any result you saw in say a sea slug would provide no insight into the human function.

The ideal experiment would be to delete the gene from a human, but this is unethical for obvious reasons.

Indeed. To illustrate Samuel Alito just gave a keynote address to the Federalist Society a few days ago. The NY Times and NPR have recaps:

The speech is an attack on science, expertise, and common sense. It’s a MAGA hat with a thin veneer of respectability.

It’s not clear to me to what extent such judges believe in this ideology, or whether they’re simply craven and exercising a will to power, but the Federalist Society has spent the past several decades working to place lawyers with fringe jurisprudence into the judiciary, and the Koch brothers wrote the checks.

I don't know about JSON but the XML serialisation code checks for a DefaultValue attribute and if the value is the default it ignores it on serialisation. You can also ignore properties if they don't need serialisation.

Your example looks sloppy but it can get messy as the project evolves. I had some code where I mistakenly removed some XmlAttribute attributes in one release and it was painful to resolve in the next release.

Having said that I will still use it again, just carefully.

This is an inexorable evolution, as the article states. I do not agree that the gear to support the pilot is 1-2% (windscreens, ejection seats, life support, 3X redundancy, wasted space and the dimensional burden of it all). It is in fact on the order of 30% as this all has to be carried and thus reduces fuel and limits the plane to ~~7-9G loads.
An AI plane will converge to a missile - possibly with 10 or more remote sub-munitions. 20MM cannons? They might be removed to allow for another 20-50 sub-munitions. With AI, these sub-munitions can be dispensed singly or in volleys with active control to deal with any possible escape envelope of the prey.
The prey will also evolve to have counter sub-munitions as well as ecm - all this at blinding speed, with huge savings paying for it all.

>Do you think the author of the AP article would react to feedback about it this way?

I have no doubt, regardless of the validity of the 'feedback', you can certainly bully the author or the news agency into pushing any narrative you want. All you have to do is frame this story as 'dangerous' and pushing 'misinformation' or 'undermining faith in vaccines'.

>By replying repeatedly to people providing context not in the article, you're indicating that reasonable people can't disagree with you regarding what's "good-faith context."

The question I posed is why one cannot have a regular fact-driven news article without pushing some other larger narrative (that has tenuous connection, AT BEST, to the actual story) and the 'good-faith' context that OP provided is ... pushing a larger narrative that has NOTHING to do with the actual story. I mean, he's trying to link it to a COVID-19 vaccine, which has NOTHIG to do with this polio vaccination effort. In other words, why is it critical for a story about Sudan to argue against American anti-vaxxers or opinionate on American COVID-19 policy, or other political goals you're trying to push in America.

So what I meant by 'good-faith context' is context that is directly linked to understanding the facts detailed in the story, not context for larger narrative that pushes other policy and political goals. This article is actually quite good - it communicated an issue with polio vaccine and provided a larger and historical context of vaccine efforts in the region, and how it is viewed by public health authorities and the WHO. I got the gist of the story.

>I think more context comparing this polio vaccine to other polio vaccines is relevant and valuable, in part because of the general rise in unfounded fears of all vaccines.

What if the general distrust of authoritative sources and news media stems from precisely this kind of reasoning ... that you need tell people what to believe, play down or omit any countervailing facts and preferably tie it to national politics and policy as much as you can (for completeness).

Let me turn it around on you: how is it that you are able to read this story and frame it in your mind within the larger context of vaccines, but others aren't? Why do you need to the writer to editorialize and push a point of view? You clearly understood that this polio outbreak does not mean all types of vaccines are dangerous.
AFAIK there is no amount of changes you can make to a work that will make it stop being a derivative work.

That's why reimplementations of license-encumbered software have to be careful to have one team study the software that is to be reimplemented and describe what it does and another teams reads this specification and implements the substitute without ever looking at the original software.

I find it hard to describe how I feel about this.

These scientists essentially created what may have been a new species, that perhaps would have had similar sentience to us and had them terminated after 100 days.

The cat's out of the bag with this research so to speak now. Someone's bound to do this again

The part about whether they should have been born or not, which was the ethical thing is what tears at me.

Is it right to create something that may be similar to us and then not even give it a chance to live?

I mean whether creating such a being is right or not in general i'm sure is up for debate.

I'm not religious, but if we're going to play god, shouldn't we take responsibility for the results of our creation?

I dunno, I find a lot of genetic engineering research to be a bit unsettling. We're playing with things we barely understand that could have consequences we can't even imagine.

Nature took a long long time to get to this point where life has come to a sort of balance. Assuming we can go in and just start blindly messing around and do better seems like an extreme level of arrogance that's going to end up blowing up in our faces.

Our track record for messing around with the fundamental fabric of reality and life isn't so good. We've ended up with some pretty terrifying things.

"In every city we analyzed, a new all-electric, single-family home is less expensive than a new mixed-fuel home that relies on gas for cooking, space heating, and water heating. Net present cost savings over the 15-year period of study are as high as $6,800 in New York City, where the all-electric home also results in 81 percent lower carbon emissions over the mixed-fuel home."

Having learned web dev around five years to go, my main stack has been Node/Express or Firebase (serverless) with React front-ends.

However, I got tired of the lack in conventions in Express, and Firebase has quite a few gotchas and limitations, so I'm moving to good old Django. I'm delighted thus far, I love not having to reinvent the wheel every time I start a project or add a feature.

I'm probably keeping React/Next.js as my primary working tools for the front-end nonetheless, but that's just me because I feel highly productive with them and I've become accustomed to the decoupled client/API architecture.

I can see the merits of SSR with templating as seen in RoR or Python, and I'm happy to have that tool in my belt. But conversely I also think it's worth for pretty much everyone to learn React (or Vue, Svelte, or what have you) because they do open different possibilities in UX engineering and app architecture, and the market is quite hot for them too.
> The type that could direct a lightning bolt to hit your neighbor's fancy new electric car, or a nation state could use to target nuclear or power grid infrastructure

No, that is not possible. The idea is to have a tower made out of metal and use a laser attached, inside or nearby to create a heated, ionized path of particles from the cloud to the tower. This path offers a lower resistance to the ground for the electric voltage difference which means that the lightning strike will prefer to safely follow the already ionized channel and hit the tower than to hit some random tree that ends up ablaze and igniting other trees nearby.

It's like taking a helium balloon, attach a grounded metal wire and letting it rise into the midst of the cloud - just with the laser replacing the wire.

The initial developer is probably bankrupt. The management company attempts to pass the charge to the flat owners (through a protracted series of letters), most of whom now live in the countryside because the rent from the London flat pays the mortgage on their 5 bedroom home in the countryside. They spend 2 years dragging out the process; arguing, challenging. None of the renters get to charge their car until about 2037.
