>"Imagine the following hypothetical situation: Frank and Ellen meet at a night course and end up getting drinks together after class several times. The drinks start to feel like dates, so Ellen asks Frank if he is married, making it clear that adultery is a deal-breaker for her. Frank is married, but he lies and says he is single. The two go to bed. Is Frank guilty of rape?"

"Imagine the following hypothetical situation: Frank and Ellen meet at a night course and end up getting drinks at a non-alcoholic juice bar (Frank and Ellen are Vegan New-Agers!) together after class several times. The non-alcoholic drinks start to feel like dates (or at least like non-alcoholic juices, which they are!), so Frank asks Ellen if she's wearing any make-up -- making it clear that advertising herself as less sexually attractive than she really is -- is a deal-breaker for him!

Ellen is wearing make-up -- but she lies and says she isn't! The two go to bed. Is Ellen guilty of man-rape?"

>"To most people, even those who consider Frank a dishonorable creep, the answer is clearly no. The law agrees: In most American jurisdictions, Frank is not liable for any tort or crime, let alone something as serious as sexual assault."

Yes, but conversely, Ellen slept with the man on the first date...

(Maybe I'm going to sound old-fashioned here -- but isn't Ellen going a little too fast by sleeping with the man on the first date? In other words, Ellen is not exactly a paragon of virtue herself, is she?)

>"But why? This question has been a source of contention among legal experts for decades, ever since the law professor Susan Estrich argued that the law of rape should prohibit fraud to procure sex, just as the law of theft prohibits fraud to secure money."

People have used marriage to "procure sex" since time immemorial -- and what exactly the difference between "marriage" and "fraud" is -- to this day, I don't know! <g>

>"Ellen did not consent to have sex with a married man, the argument goes, so the sex she had with Frank was not consensual."

If one of Ellen's criteria to have sex was that the man not be married, then this criteria would have existed because she would have wanted a chance to marry him herself in the future, should he meet her other criteria.

But even so, relationships are complicated things, and can fall apart for any number of reasons, so even if Frank would not have been married, and even if Ellen would have had a shot at that marriage, the relationship still could have fell apart way before marriage, and if she began going that route, the net effect, at least as far as the first sexual encounter would have went, would have been exactly the same!

...

Also, related to this whole "Frank and Ellen" thing (a fictitious story; an analogy), I offer you what 10x (actually 100x'er!) programmer Bjarne Stroustrup, creator of the C++ language (and generally very intellectual person!) said about analogies, and he said (and I quote!):

"Proof by analogy is fraud."

Inside of steam, you can click on a game to browse local files. It works on Linux anyway, just opens my file browser to the right place.

I agree it should be rare, though I have had to do it for stuff that I wouldn't consider to be too advanced (using mods) but it's fair to say that it's still uncommon in the grand scheme of things since most games have a decent UI for handling mods already.

I maybe need to get to a game folder... three times a year? The only time it was more than that was when a modder I really liked stopped publishing releases outside of github so you had to copy them to the right place manually.
Thanks. There are lots of files one directory up.

It is, but tritium is not put into bombs. Lithium is.

Both are put into bombs.

The main concern when it comes to tritium supply, regards tritium used for boosting of fission charges. Both applications are crucially important, but fusion boosting appears to require significantly larger quantities of tritium. Tritium and deuterium for boosting are supplied to the weapon from an external reservoir (gas bottle) as part of the arming process of the weapon.

Since about 5.5% of existing tritium decays every year, the tritium assigned to each weapon must be regularly replenished. This is done by removing the weapon’s tritium reservoir and exchanging it with a newly refilled reservoir (5). Figure 1.3 shows what may be such a reservoir.

From Norwegian Defence Research Establishment report "Tritium production":

https://publications.ffi.no/nb/item/asset/dspace:6780/20-013...

Also see this Savannah River Site page about tritium supply for weapons:

omg, I have been trying to remember what this was for decades.
Welcome back.

It's still the best choice in the Ruby world, well maintained, responsive and new features added. Shopify and github use it, you might want to look at the Rails 6 annoucements what these companies added for scalability features. There've been changes to the asset pipeline since version 3 but you'll still recognize it. You can run Rails as API-only and there's subprojects/tutorials for combining a frontend-heavy React,Vue with a Rails backend. You can still ignore the webpack based asset setup unless you use React,Vue I think. Ruby-3 works fine though I'm still waiting for some less-maintained gems to finally merge PRs, maybe you want to use Ruby-2.7 first.

I use https://puma.io/ , that scales well enough for me. https://github.com/socketry/falcon#readme is faster with build-in HTTP/2 support but harder to setup in my opinion, e.g. requires SSL certificate even on localhost.

The “left” made laws, then the “right” weakened them and stopped enforcing them. Corporations are not even playing by the laws on the books now, especially the antitrust laws. What’s missing is the will to hold companies accountable for breaking the laws that are destroying competition.
The worst offenders are 2 stroke engines which are smaller per hp than 4 strokes that would live on your lawn mower where size matters less. 2 stroke engines burn oil as a feature and are irritatingly loud.

While true, it's still better than fission in terms of waste. (And much less liable to Fukushima-style meltdowns, and less likely to lead to nuclear weapon proliferation.)

This is definitely a great intro to the parts of R that are relevant for all types of analysis. After you get comfortable with this and want to do some domain-specific analysis, check out the R Task Views[0] on the official site. You can read brief summaries of what packages are available for different analysis tasks. Really useful, considering how many packages are on the official repository (CRAN).

To see more of what a package does and how to use it, look for vignettes on the package description page. For example, the `forecast` package[1] includes a journal article.

You could also look on bookdown.org, which showcases some online books made using the titular package. The are a lot of "Doing X with R" guides among them.

I see this advice as mostly mapping to "get out side of your comfort zone", "do something everyday that scares you", "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing every day and expecting something to change", "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take" and so on. Overall it's good advice, only by trying new things and stirring the pot are we likely to get somewhere better.

Right, but a "pump and dump" scheme requires two things which Tesla/Musk did not do: make knowingly false statements of fact about Dogecoin or Bitcoin, and a "dump" of the assets at inflated values (as it appears that Tesla/Musk still retain their previously announced Bitcoin holdings).
Ethanol in gas has had a seriously deleterious effect on lawn equipment. So many carbs full of gooey nasty rubber residue. My local Home Depot has started carrying cans of ethanol free gasoline because there are literally no gas stations in the county that carry it anymore.

It's bad when you're looking at some piece of equipment and are relieved to discover that it has been sitting with gas in it since the 90s. At least there is a hope the rubber bits are intact.

On the other hand, this is so common now that the aftermarket carb business has become a mass market. You can buy chinese knockoffs carbs with all of the hoses and plastic bits for like $10 on Amazon now.

I think that's really on point for me. I try to recreate the magic I used to feel playing Ultima, Wing Commander, Gunship, Commanche, Falcon 3, etc. with modern games and find I just don't... care. In terms of personal activities, I could be building something cool in the garage, or out on a real-life adventure, or playing with some electronics experiment, or doing research on a topic of special interest to me. Games feel very boring and unproductive to me even though I periodically attempt to check myself on this.

> So if I hit the "agree" button on TOS that are long and complex enough that I am not expected to reasonably understand, I am not bounded by them, because I never provided consent?

That has its own debate. The company is the powerful party with lawyers writing up their TOS. Consumers are laypeople that cannot reasonably retain legal counsel to review every TOS they have to sign, nor do they have the time to actually read them all themselves (it takes multiple months of 40 hour weeks time to fully read all TOS that the average person consents to). Given this asymmetry, why do we have the onus fall on the consumer to be responsible for understanding the terms, when we could put the legal responsibility on the company to be responsible for confirming that the consumer understands the TOS before the company can sell it? If a company had to confirm you knew what you were consenting to, they would by necessity have to simplify and clarify their TOS.

I complained about tv2.dk (I used to be a customer) sending me a e-mail after I deleted my user and told them not the send me e-mail. This was a really bad experience where their support attempted to make me login to the site which I refused to do since I removed my user previously.

Then I sent them a GDPR request to remove all my info and complained to the Danish Data Protection Agency.

I stopped receiving e-mail but got nowhere with my complaint. The agency wrote me that they didn't want to pursue this.
Based on this ..
I don't think that anyone is taking GDPR seriously and no one is trying to defend the small people (me!).
> Fusion research has been steadily progressing for many years. The “50 years away and always will” quip is baloney.

The upthread comment was 20, not 50, and I’ve heard 15 or 20 years away frequently since the 1980s and seen it in things dating back to the 1960s, so, no, its not baloney.

Nor does it necessarily mean that progress isn’t being made, its more of a comment that the unknown unknowns are being converted in known unknowns as fast as a known unknowns are being converted into known knowns.

I'm building a virtual tabletop for tabletop roleplayers that play narrative driven games and theater of the mind style games.

I'm using text parsing to accomplish different tools for storytelling and improvisation. Believe that is the quickest way for a GM to produce content and rig their games.

The tech stack is Svelte and Sapper with MDSVEX and Pouch/CouchDb/Websockets. The database part has been the hardest so far and haven't gotten that far. Got some decent character sheets out there but just using local storage for now. Got working slide decks, rollable tables and interactive fiction in dev but knitting it all together is a big job. My goal is to run my first game session with friends in May and open it for alpha June/July.

I miss those too. I also feel that having these movie cutscenes helps the imagination.

By that definition, Linux, Chromium, and lots of other software isn't Google-free. But that's ridiculous. Android does not contain any tracking code, and at most uses Google servers as the default for network connectivity tests, etc. which you can change. Versions of Android running on actual phones often have tracking, but this is not related to Android itself and is largely about Google Play Services.

If your site is cargo culting everything it probably also has a ton of third party trackers for the same reason.
Every time I see the term 'dark pattern', it's always a case of one or the other, with the delineation into fraud varying depending on the relevant laws. In this case, they mention how websites skirt the minimum GDPR requirements and trick the users to do what they want, so it looks to be both.

The term is in the best case superfluous, in the worst case a harmful euphemism.
Yeah, the RN screwed up their requirements such that the new UK carriers aren't actually going to be built for CATOBAR, even though they're supposed to be equipped for, but not with, the facilities to do so.

You speak in the past tense but both are actually in the water now! One of them is working up for her first live deployment.

I personally don't believe that CATOBAR was ever an option on these ships, there are too many clues. One is that both cats and traps are enormous pieces of machinery that need to be integrated with the hull and dissipate enormous amounts of heat, they can't be pasted in afterwards, they have to be designed in from the start. The catapults require steam or electrical power for EMALS, the QE class can't do steam and can't generate that much power. Operating cats and traps needs lots of deck crew, there aren't enough people without growing the RN by a few thousand people all told. And finally keeping pilots current for arrested landings isn't feasible if you want the freedom to embark RAF crews at short notice, who have only used runways. Basically BAe said they could do it as a tickbox exercise in the planning stages, but when the government looked at doing it and switching to F35C, it would have cost as much as rebuilding them both from scratch.
No way, there is a SIGNIFICANT difference in noise between a gas powered weed whacker and an electric one. The only thing you hear in the latter is the bzzzzzzz which is a lot easier to deal with than a screaming 2 stroke.
I'm pretty confident it will make it over the line into viability eventually, but it's a really tough problem and it is going to take decades. There's still a lot about the engineering required we just don't fully understand, and it will take a lot of tests and investigation on a lot of different fronts to make meaningful progress. So I agree, we're in it for the long haul on this one.
Yeah it seems nonsensical. My 2-stroke lawnmower burns maybe a pint of fuel three or four times a month or so. My car burns gallons a day. Granted the car exhaust is cleaner, but it's so much more total hydrocarbon burned.

The entire online ebook market revolves around paying money per digital copy licensed exclusively for you often with DRM, paying a subscription for temporary access to a number of books for the duration with DRM, and electronically borrowing from a finite number of simultaneous copies held by a library.

If you had never interacted with any of that over the last 20 years then you could be forgiven for not knowing that a site offering unlimited downloads of millions of drm free books without limit, payment, or even login was piracy.

Otherwise its every bit as obvious as napster or the pirate bay.

A pump and dump scheme requires that the "pump" be achieved by making fraudulent representations about the assets being "pumped" to artificially increase their value, followed by said assets being offloaded at the artificially increased value.

McAfee did that all of that. Tesla/Musk did not (no false statements of fact or offloading at artificially inflated values).

Additionally, a "cartel" has a legal definition which requires deliberate coordination of activity (aka "collusion"). Independent activity in which everyone does the same thing without coordination is not a cartel, because the coordination aspect of it is key to the illegality of the act.
