Well, but in that case the curriculum is even more screwed up because they picked exercise topics (and death penalty is the classic) that according to your arguments are totally unsuitable. You are arguing to limit critical thinking to the cute "bunnies or butterflies" topics. I would argue that critical thinking is necessary, especially in topics that "hurt". One may leave genocide or cannibalism to the advanced classes, but if a topic isn't the least bit controversial, I would say it is impossible to learn critical thinking.

"I think that in a certain way Brexit could be beneficial for the EU"

It would be nice to think that someone would benefit even if its not the UK. Sadly I think both the UK and the EU are going to be worse off because of Brexit.

I know Telegram is less secure and Secret Chats are an opt-in. Security-wise Signal would be better... but:

Signal experience isn't that good. Alien from the platform they run on. For example, no system recommendations to send this person a message or share something with them through signal.. Telegram is more a platform native and integrated into the system.

Also there is the issue of messages arriving late (not minutes but hours late, sometimes days late)
“30 and 180 days after the underlying good or service is provided or received”
+ “But once you have established that record of sales, they buy future inventory.”

Means very different for products with a limited shelf life. The cost to “replace items that are selling” doesn’t just cover the risk, it also covers the items actively sitting on the shelves. A store is only buying new items after the old items have sold, so that continues indefinitely. A store is thus better off of if an item stops selling in 1 year than 1 day, as the replacement item is also subsidized.

I find it funny how every single service builds out a community infrastructure, complete with messaging for near-synchronous and more async communication.

I've always been a fan of distributed resiliency but when it comes to basic communications, I don't have the time or motivation to hunt down the service and method of communication within that service some person chooses to use. I much prefer ubiquitous communication, at least from a user interaction stand-point.

Older messenger applications often supported handfuls to dozens of popular communication systems so you could interact with one touch point/interface, and coukd still benefit from the fact the marketplace was forcing some competition while your communication wouldn't be strangled by some single private entity's policies or actions.
The rest of the fourth amendment says:

>> and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

I don't think this kind of bet/prediction really gives a big advantage to experts. And that includes any long prediction in any field, not just biochemistry or epidemiology.

Your website made a used of a red check mark and GPS/camera required.

Sue me for skimping through it too fast but thought you wanted to know. Rereading ensured that your app DOES NOT uses GPS position nor camera (of which I’ve actually confirmed myself).

Perhaps a nice red outline box around each competitor products would alert us fast-skimmers?

I would also understand if you did not do that, after all it is still my fault.

Good job, and keep up the good work.
Anecdata: the start up I work for now has to spent significant time and money serving our customers in the EU, reducing our margins. Brexit has no benefits to us, we were doing perfectly well working with customers in Europe as well as in other countries.

If you were starting a tech company why would you choose to start a company in a country which appears to be decidedly against the idea of economic cooperation and free trade. A country that is deluded enough to remove itself from one trading block because, apparently, its much stronger on its own.

If your comment refers to some sort of utopia where trade and business is deregulated and capitalists can happily roam in the wild I'm afraid you might be disappointed. The average Brexit voter has significantly more to gain from the welfare state and big government than the current crop of politicians. Regulation isn't going anywhere and is probably going to increase as the government seeks to prop up its finances without the aid of the EU.

I find Brexit an emotive topic, if only because "Project Fear" is and was always going to be "Project Reality".

There is a mountainful of valid complaints for Microsoft, but SXS is one of those "its the least worst but realistic solution" to dependency hell. Someone saying that they are running old Linux libraries (without recompiling or patching) are either lucky to not use dependencies (usually terminal-based programs) or plainly lying.

> haven't figured out how to opt out and to not accept

There doesn't seem to be an easy way. A lot of their proposed opt-outs rely on either disabling cookies browser-wide, installing an extension or creating/signing into an account and customizing your advertising preferences there (which means providing them even more info as part of the account creation and relying on their good faith to actually opt you out).

To the best of my knowledge none of these things are compliant with the GDPR:

* consent must be granular, so browser-wide cookie-blocking doesn't comply because disabling cookies entirely means you lose functionality (the GDPR mandates that you can opt-out of non-essential tracking but retain all other functionality)

* mandating that people register for an account might run afoul of the "data minimization" principle (among others), meaning that you must collect the minimum amount of data to fulfil the required purpose; asking people to register/sign into an account (thus providing even more information) just to opt-out of non-essential tracking seems non-compliant

* consent must be opt-in (seems like cookies were placed before the user explicitly agreed to it)

* it must be as easy to opt-out as it is to opt-in, yet in Google's case the opt-in is one-click away (though it doesn't matter since apparently they set cookies even before the user clicks that) but opt-out is way more involved (and relies on reconfiguring the browser)
How is this any different from javascript in HTML5?

The bad thing about flash is they also had network access without SOP... oh wait websockets does that. They also had FS access... which HTML5 has too now. Well the sandbox had some CVEs occasionally but then again, all software does.

I guess the worst thing was that it meant you had to install a closed source package from a large SV company... like most people do with Chrome.

I was also going to comment on how individualism plays in this and US culture. It also doesn't help that the visible "leader" of the US happens to be an extreme narcissist. Due to trickle down culture, behaviors, and attitudes things are getting worse. I'm see the following becoming the motto across a large segment of the population: "Rules (laws) for thee, not for me." Which follows the idea of tribalism and the hidden and unconscious idea of the ingroup and outgroup and that government and laws exist to protect the ingroup from the outgroup. I have had less liberal ideas most my life. I have recently come to say "eff it, climate change whether real or not (I think it's real)and regardless of whether we humans can do anything about it or not (the forces of the universe may still be greater than we can handle and out of our control, we can either come together and take on/fight nature, or we can continue to form tribes and fight each other." Humans seem to need an enemy or something to fight and resist. Let's restore the environment. Yes, there will always be humans who want power, money, and control. Not sure what the best solution is to address that.
I think that's the point. If it wasn't anticompetitive then, why is it now?

Startup scene was already good before Brexit. So, some additional startup boom will not happen because one other issue, parallel with Brexit and pandemic UK government decided to kill (predominantly) IT contacting by creating some changes to IR35 law (basically increasing taxes significantly to that specific group).

All those combine will have strong impact on UK, I live in London, and finance is probably 80% of how UK makes money. Most of the goods are imported, we do not produce anything (I am exaggerating but not far from truth).
Just to remind, people voted pro Brexit because of a red bus with a large text saying that each week £350 million goes to EU (which was wrong but hey...) that is £18.2 bn a year. Meaning Morgan Stanley is shifting permanently, with one swift move, 6.5 years ... and heaven know about how many jobs... All that also have combined effect as each person working there feeds many others (builders, bakers, creditors...)

In dual license, you offer the product alternatively under an open source license, or a commercial license. Typically the open source license is chosen to as onerous and scary as possible to force companies to buy the commercial license. And it requires you to hold all the copyrights so that you can relicense it, giving most contributors cold feet. A typical example of this is MySQL or Qt, or the various server-side licenses adopted by MongoDB etc (though those are onerous enough to not be certified open source by the OSI, but the principle remains the same).

In a free software product, the code itself is available under an open source license, often one that doesn't prevent use by companies. The product is some particular version of the code built, QA'd, vetted and supported by the vendor. The typical example being RHEL. But in addition to RedHat, this model can be used also by single-product companies.

WW2 resulted in diverting a substantial amount of resources to R&D and hence the explosion in innovation & science everything from Radar, automobiles, computing, nuclear energy, not to mention jet engine and computing.

Today China is on a one sided war of technology dominance while the rest of us are sleeping or bickering over patents & tech protectionism, anti competitiveness and blocking acquisition.

China has the scale, money, leadership and capability to pool resources on a literal war footing to develop what it can not buy. Let us not fool ourselves.

Walter Duranty
Don't be ridiculous. No other president has ever tried to overturn the results of an election like Trump. You're attempting to make a blatantly false equivalency. That's textbook "bothsidesism". If you're "morally opposed to everything this President has done", then why do you "not care if Trump wins or loses"?

You've also offered absolutely no proof of your unfounded claims that "it seems unquestionable that election laws were broken in a variety of significant ways that meaningfully impacted the result of the election".

That's total bullshit. No it certainly isn't "unquestionable", and you have no proof of that whatsoever, and neither does Trump, which is why his absurd court cases are all being thrown out with such prejudice.

If you have some "unquestionable" convincing proof, then why doesn't Giuliani have it too, and share it with the court? Why don't you share it with us here and now? Because you don't. You are simply parroting Trump's and Giuliani's and Putin's propaganda and lies.

>And I generally do my own research.

And yet you somehow coincidentally come up with the exact same conclusions that Trump is lying about, but neither of you has a shred of proof. There's your problem.

So it takes 1299 then, if we include you.
Indeed it does. The question of how good a measure IQ is is an interesting one.

Scores on Raven's progressive matrices certainly correlate well with all sorts of things (working memory, income, ability to do computer programming, ability to write a popular story), so I guess it depends in how you are defining "intelligence".
Neither sounds like containment to me.

Shutting down flights from China was for show. The virus was already spreading inside the US, and infected people continued to fly in from Europe. Trump's brand is being tough on borders, so he shut down travel from China, declared victory, and then did nothing.

Months later, after nearly 300k confirmed deaths, Trump still boasts about closing down travel from China - one minimally impactful measure he took early on.

Here's what real containment would have been in late January and early February: ramping up testing and contact tracing as quickly as possible, maybe even locking down cities and grounding flights. That might have been politically impossible back then, but Trump wasn't pushing in that direction at all. He was worried about reassuring the markets.
Adding armor that blocks small arms fire is straightforward, although even this might add too much weight to a BD robot.

Armor that blocks a .50 caliber rifle bullet is a completely different story; a Barrett 50 round will go through an engine block. If such a round hit the robot anywhere, it would almost certainly disable it.

Detecting an approaching robot would be trivial with radar, IR (these things have to make heat), tripwires, etc.

Not sure what you mean about "setting up" a 50 cal gun; a Barrett 50 is handheld. Setting it up takes about a second. Although in practice a perimeter would probably be established in advance with robotic guns using closed loop feedback.

My point is that it would be a significant engineering challenge and at least an order of magnitude cost increase to design a BD-style robot to deal with even the most prosaic threats of a hostile battlefield. And the power supply would probably need to be a gasoline engine rather than batteries just for reasons of weight and endurance.

In Michigan, based on testimony/affidavits:
1) The poll workers were almost exclusively Democrats.
2) It was only Republican poll watchers who were being thrown out
3) Republican poll watchers were not replaced after they were thrown out
4) By the end of the night there were only a handful of Republican watchers
5) The Democrat poll watchers would harass the Republican poll watchers until they are thrown out
6) The reasons provided to throw out Republicans were applied unevenly (Only applied to Republicans)

Again, this is based on the dozens of testimony/affidavits I've heard & read. If there is evidence to the contrary for the above claims, I haven't seen it.

> That's just not how it works. Even _granting_ the premise, it's not "You couldn't see well enough? Well let's disenfrancise a few hundred thousand people." That's not a reasonable remedy by any stretch of either common sense or law.

How should it work? It's not a fair system either to kick out all of the observers, and then claim that "no fraud happened" after kicking out everyone who was there to detect fraud.

The election laws exist for a reason and these laws were basically outright ignored.

Keep in mind, that even with the limited observation, there is testimony that points to specific cases of fraud. For example, during the duplication process, when both Biden and Trump are filled in, the vote (according to testimony) went to Biden. When a challenge was raised, the challenge was ignored. This is one example of many where challenges were raised and ignored.

> You don't think it's more likely that the witnesses and affidavits they're using are subpar because that's the best they have?

I don't know why they chose to select those witnesses to depose, and not the others. Perhaps Binnall personally felt those were his strongest witnesses. Maybe the other witnesses were not available to testify (or did not want to seek out the harassment).

I don't know. Judges are fallible, as are laywers, and people.

I can only tell you what I personally believe based on the evidence/testimony I have heard & read, is that there is compelling evidence and its a legitimate case worth hearing, and should not be dismissed so casually as it has often been by the judges so far.
