I don't understand why people go to such great lengths to give current injustices the benefit of the doubt ad infinitum, even constructing ridiculously rare and hypothetical scenarios like that.

The real outrage here is the millions and millions of people squandering their talents in some shite job due to lack of opportunity, not the handful of billionaires that started from nothing and whose children might now be taxed somewhat.
To be clear, when I say 'bucatini pipeline' I am referring to the elaborate method of import, rather than a pipeline made of bucatini.

It's slavery...modern day slavery. Why are we mincing words? We stand on our soap boxes and preach about historical injustices and how we need to repair them. Well here is your chance to prevent a future historical injustice, and all it takes is for you to take a stand, instead of quietly consuming the products and leaving it for future generations to atone for methods by which those products were produced.

They’re suggesting that one drink a day for men is better than two? In my experience, it’s the people drinking 12+ in one sitting or 30+ units in a week who are having the health issues.

Feels like suggesting lowering the speed limit to 55mph because it causes fewer deaths than 65mph. Just makes people skeptical of government overreach.
In any sufficiently rich domain, necessary documentation and difficulty of use tends to approach that of a full language. The docs and tooling support scales much less well, often being provided only by a single team or organization. It's not a winning combination. With a general purpose language, you get all that mostly "for free".
That's why it's so important to let them play. They end up figuring out a lot of important things by themselves that it would be almost impossible otherwise.

I'm not sure why is it hard to understand the implications of what I said.

1. at some point we "HAVE" and humanity WILL put an end to birthrate decline.

2. "Countries where women have the most rights are the ones with lower birth rates as it happens"

Therefore, one solution would be to take away women's rights.

That's not something I would stand for, but for certain totalitarian countries, it would work.

That's a very easy solution any idiot could come up with, just like slavery.

The other, MUCH, MUCH harder solution would involve completely changing world order, creating a much flatter and equal society, which is IMPOSSIBLE to do by the current world wide idiocracy.

Okay thanks, I think I understand you better now!

Helping people in developing countries and curing aging in not mutually exclusive the way I see it, they can be done in parallel. They also usually require very different skills and usually have different budgets for example.

I don't want to take resources away from helping the poor but rather see more focus in the medical world towards aging/longevity. Rather than spending a lot of money on trying to cure (for example) Alzheimer's decease I'd like to see more of those resources spent on trying to solve aging, which seems to be the root cause of Alzheimer's (and many other deceases.)

Does that make sense? Or maybe I misunderstood you again.
Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I am comfortable hiking long distances, it is just the multi-day aspect that I find daunting.

At one point I had an entire /24 routed over a 28.8K connection. I eventually upgraded to an ISDN line. Fun times.

It sounds like what you really want is a firewall, not NAT. Having a globally unique prefix (either IPv6 or v4) does not mean your network is completely accessible externally. There are no dependencies. It actually makes things simpler if you ever want to connect two internal networks.

I have a handful of old ISDN videoconferencing terminals that use the H.320 standard. I’m creating a server that will do things like implement things like multipoint conferencing and bridging to modern video conferencing solutions, although right now I’m stuck decoding the mess of a serial interface they use to connect to the network, which appears to be a slightly non standard V.35 right now.

The equipment for the project has been growing. Outside the expensive E1 device, I still need to get what I need to really simulate that line, including some DCE to take whatever the serial interface on the phone is to an E1 line. I’ve also bought a few old protocol analyzers which weren’t completely necessary, but fun if not mildly useful.
Sounds like a huge assumption about 'mothers'.
I addressed your question: a "security of what" is not a relevant question in this context because you've misunderstood the definition of a security, and I corrected you. You do not need to answer that question for something to be deemed a security. I then gave you a legal test, the Howey test, which contains the question you should be asking. I also explained how it applies in my response. It's pretty cut and dried.
Well, yes. I use "consumer inflation" to describe inflation measured by the CPI which mostly involves goods and services and "asset inflation" to describe inflation measured on assets like stocks or real estate.

If prices for goods are low so are the wages of the workers that produce them. If there was a way for workers to get some of the central bank money they would spend it on consumer goods which drive up demand for consumer goods and those consumer goods have to be produced by workers which drives the incomes of those workers up.

So when I am talking about consumer inflation I am not just talking about the prices of services and goods but also the incomes of workers. These things are linked extremely tightly. High incomes drive up consumer inflation and consumer inflation drives up incomes. If you can get rich without involving workers you have found a recipe for growing wealth inequality precisely because you avoided consumer inflation.

So by definition low consumer inflation is associated with inequality. If there was consumer inflation but no asset inflation the relative wealth of asset owners would diminish and the relative wealth of people with income would increase.

High consumer inflation is generally associated with low unemployment because the scarcity of workers is driving up prices of consumer goods. Imagine a medieval country that is going into debt to start a war. They are buying up all the food for the soldiers and thereby drive up the prices. If everyone is already at full employment because e.g. they are doing subsistence farming and barely grow enough food for themselves + some taxes then what happens is that food becomes unaffordable for farmers and you are taking away all the food from the farmers and giving it to the soldiers. This obviously results in a famine because those farmers need that food to feed themselves and grow more food next year.

However, we are not a medieval country that has hit its maximum economic output. There is slack in the system. We have unemployment, especially youth unemployment in European countries. If you increase demand for workers you decrease unemployment despite introducing more money into the system. If you figure out how to print money and somehow do not create more demand for workers you end up keeping employment low. As long as unemployment is high you can keep printing more money endlessly. That's not an argument in favor of printing more money, it means that you should spend your money on the right things instead.

> In my experience the toxicity you're talking about doesn't usually carry through to in person gatherings. Most people have at least some manners even if they are awkward and being in a group face to face adds social pressure to mind them. It's fairly rare that you see someone who is a complete boor since they are usually excluded from gatherings due to their behaviour.

I think in-person power dynamics are often not immediately obvious, and "inclusive" groups sometimes make it worse.

For example, cases where the inclusion of someone who's socially awkward lead to the self-exclusion of some other people.

Someone's social awkwardness could lead them to constantly stare at people they find attractive; the leaders or organisers of the group might be too nice to exclude said person, since they didn't do anything criminal like harass people, just awkwardly stare at them; and other people might choose to self-exclude themselves because of this.

> And yet people seem to be hellbent to make it about AI.

Of course, because the alternative is to make it a human failure of critical actors in the justice system. Every story about mistaken identity has dozens of points where humans, police officers and magistrates, made a judgement call ... wrongly. And always obviously wrong.

That is the case here and the case in the linked article. You can clearly see the eyes don't match, the jaw is different, ... and in Steve's case you see the face is too small, his nose is much narrower than the robber's, the hairline doesn't match, Steve has a square face the robber doesn't, his body shape (the shoulders) are very different, and Steve's ears are almost pointy, whereas the robber's are much more rounded, and much shorter than Steve's. It is not a reasonable mistake for the 10-15 people involved to make.

In other words, the inevitable conclusion is that:

1) the police and prosecutor as well as at least 1 judge knew they had the wrong guy

2) they all cooperated to use their power to extract a wrongful confession from the guy, including that judge

3) they used "testimony" from someone with a clear grudge against him without question

4) which additionally was not reasonable given the bad quality images

5) they refused to believe testimony when it disagreed with their working hypothesis

6) instead, they used psychological torture to force a confession from an innocent

7) essentially, they refused to set a person free without being offered another victim

Clearly at the very least they've shown they, both as an organisation and all individuals in it, would much rather wrongfully convict an innocent person than to be left without suspects or traces. They weren't protecting the bank, society, or anyone, they were VERY clearly abusing and violating the law to protect themselves from embarrassment.

People just can't deal with this. That police just fight to get someone, anyone, convicted at all costs rather than making damn sure they got the right guy, as the law demands. That they do this disregarding all costs to the suspect and society is not something most people are willing to consider ...
Here’s the bullet points:

Eat these:

• Vegetables of all types—dark green; red and orange; beans, peas, and lentils; starchy; and other vegetables

• Fruits, especially whole fruit

• Grains, at least half of which are whole grain

• Dairy, including fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt, and cheese, and/or lactose-free versions and fortified soy beverages and yogurt as alternatives

• Protein foods, including lean meats, poultry, and eggs; seafood; beans, peas, and lentils; and nuts, seeds, and soy products

• Oils, including vegetable oils and oils in food, such as seafood and nuts

Don’t eat these:

• Added sugars—Less than 10 percent of calories per day starting at age 2. Avoid foods and beverages with added sugars for those younger than age 2.

• Saturated fat—Less than 10 percent of calories per day starting at age 2.

• Sodium—Less than 2,300 milligrams per day—and even less for children younger than age 14.

• Alcoholic beverages—Adults of legal drinking age can choose not to drink, or to drink in moderation by limiting intake to 2 drinks or less in a day for men and 1 drink or less in a day for women, when alcohol is consumed. Drinking less is better for health than drinking more. There are some adults who should not drink alcohol, such as women who are pregnant.
Wow. TIL. I was not aware of the exact private prison inmate share, and I thought it to be much higher.

Re: "worse offender", though, I guess that trophy goes to the whole system of "war on drugs": legislation, legislators, corresponding policing and then jurisdiction. It all looks and sounds just and fine and logical. However at the end, prison work is slave work, inmates lose their right to vote, the whole "war on drugs" is a system where war on drugs in almost all cases is a war on POC.
Not yet, but this could change with VR, I suppose, as games become more immersive.
There's this strange cultural divide in the US, and it's not a republican-Democrat thing or a gender thing or a race thing. People from certain cliques are more comfortable with snark, self deprecation, and the sort of hyperbolic lampooning that this article engaged in (I'm in this camp), whereas others read snobbery and cruelty and such from identical sources (and I'm fairly certain the author isnot implying they are better than anyone because of their love for 'the best pasta').

It might be a coastal thing. My Brooklyn friends are usually camp A, my California people skew more camp B, but that's not a hard rule and super subject to sample bias.
I think it's obviously true that monied interests will have greater access to regulators and corporations than smaller operations do. We should seek to limit that advantage when possible, but it's doubtful that we can ever truly eliminate it.

Speaking specifically about this case though, it doesn't seem like a big business tossing its weight around, but some large multinational businesses working within existing regulatory and bureaucratic systems to ensure their competitors are not unfairly gaining by flouting the law.

It is akin to an auto company finding another company has saved money by not complying with emissions standards.
Maybe I'm having a brainfart, but the abstract seems illogical to me. Can someone help me understand how

leads to their conclusion

Chastising someone here for ‘running their mouth’ when they are commenting in good faith is not welcome.

No one was ‘out for blood,’ the poster simply made the claim that the inability to lobby effectively is a challenge to smaller companies. That’s exactly why the consortium you listed exists, and is based in DC.

I would guess that, usually, interests align and it most often helps a small manufacturer that ADM (16 bil revenue a year) is in the pasta business. However, if ADM wants to get a good deal on the majority stake of a gluten-free pasta up-and-comer, they likely have a few levers they can pull to create pressure.
I'll tell you what does make me more aggressive. It's not the content of the video game itself. It's the other players in the multiplayer. I've basically sworn off of multiplayer for well over a decade now, with only vanishingly brief revisits to confirm things are only getting worse.

Nim in 2020: A Short Recap
I agree. What's astounding to me is that people will in the same instance downplay the impact of population, but soothsay about global warming, land-use, other ecological issues. Most of the issues are moot if the population stagnates. More demand means more ecological destruction, you might increase efficiency but that is still the equation any way you slice it.

There are non-profits out there that might help to this end, but they are numerous. They ought to organize better. We need Universal access to contraceptives, and elimination of global poverty.

As just another software guy who's near that dangerous "knows enough to be overconfident" spot:

That would probably not work the same way.

The point of a booster shot is to make the immune system "think" it's been infected by the same intruder twice, so it steps up permanent defences to a more serious level.

Both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine produces replicas of the virus "spike protein", but with (presumably) different mRNA formulas.

So if their different versions are similar enough that the immune system sees them as "this shit again!", which would work as a booster shot, or as an unrelated infection, is impossible to say. At least for me, who is (again) unqualified to talk about this stuff.

That said, two vaccines would at minimum be better than one.
I saw that too and it makes sense. Begin with the most conservative approach and transition to just in time as confidence builds.
