My understanding is that most available CAM tools deal exclusively with circle arcs and straight segments.

Personally I don't think cubic Béziers per se seem like an especially good CAM primitive, but they are ubiquitous in 2d computer graphics, so they might be convenient for that reason.

Since we passed a law that says they can have it both ways they can indeed have it both ways and moderate as they choose while also avoiding legal liability for their users actions.

Which part of this is problematic?
> If buying games can be made easier than piracy, lots of people will probably do that. But if piracy is way easier, then that’s what 99.9% of users will do.

Apart from folks who have no way to perform online transactions and would have to physically visit a shop to pay using cash, piracy hasn’t been “way easier” than buying games in more than a decade.

Everybody has online shops now. On the Switch, you can even buy from your computer using their web shop, if the Switch itself happens to be out of your reach (or in the hands of your child or etc).

In the vast majority of cases, these days, I suspect that piracy is a lot more about “cheaper” than about “easier”.
It's not exactly mind-blowing to see that the working populace that's under the influence of extremely dogmatic bosses had a hard time readjusting to a work format that's completely foreign to them -- especially that one exact format that is widely frowned upon there, with their culture of 16h workdays and whatnot.

Japan, for all the unexplained praise it gets in some media outlets, has been widely reported to be one of the worst places in the world in terms of a work-life balance. Nobody can generalize an entire country of course, but bad working conditions seem to be the default state of things there (I have several acquaintances and they all left Japan a year or so later after they started getting pressured into almost sleeping in the office).

Add to that that their office culture seems centered on interruptions, the much-hated by us the devs technique of "patting you on the shoulder to check how you're progressing", and the idolization of time spent in the office as opposed to "what did you actually do?", and I could have told you that productivity as Japanese understand it took a dive.

And as the currently top comment states, measuring WFH in conditions when most employees have no choice but to accept it makes for warped and likely non-objective metrics.

> or that you believe the First Amendment would apply to tech companies currently protected by Section 230 were it repealed.

Is that not what Tim Wu is saying?

> But content moderation, as an exercise of editorial discretion, is protected by the First Amendment. And that Congress can’t repeal.

And so my understanding is that

1. Site content moderation actions are protected by the First Amendment.

2. Gov't can't tell a site what to moderate or not.

3. But without 230, a user can potentially sue a site for defamation or other reasons.

4. 230 provides a site a bypass to those suits, it gives sites publisher immunity.

My suggestion is that publisher immunity from user lawsuits should come with some guarantee of due process. Congress took away the ability of users to sue. My suggestion is that seemed reasonable in 1996, but today Congress should return to the user some ability to negotiate/talk/appeal to sites regarding their takedowns/suspensions/bans. I refer to that as a form of due process. But if you wish, call that a consumer protection law.

I've mentioned this twice now, and people tell me I need to read the Constitution or that I am confusing free speech and the First Amendment.

I definitely have no idea what you folks are seeing, and wish you could more clearly express your ideas and help with that.
> If your customer is willing to spend BTC they own for your services[..]

In this scenario, would one's rate be set in BTC, or fiat?

I'm struggling to understand how a (non-crypto) business could want to hire a contractor at - let's say - 0.016 BTC/day, then watch the real (fiat) cost of that rate change value as the crypto markets move.

"We hired a contractor at what was $100/day but right now it's costing us $1000/day because we agreed to fix her rate in BTC" ?

Isn't this essentially like agreeing to pay someone in gold, or any other random commodity?
At some point you have to pay a price to maintain a competition in the ecosystem. We all know what happens when there is only a player left. Microsoft can just sink billions in side games like Teams and GitHub at the moment.
Vitamin B12 =/= Vitamin D

One is dependent on dietary choices, the other is not.

This reminds me a lot of the rise of Git in the early days, when decentralised version control made the spectacular promise of allowing people to share diffs directly with each other without going through a horribly centralised system like Sourceforge or any other SVN based service.

Of course, nobody wants to send diffs to each other, that would just be silly. We only want the option to do so. So now that we can mirror and switch to GitHub or Bitbucket to our own Git servers, we ask for centralised systems to handle our decentralised version control.

I think crypto will go the same way. It’s nice to have the option to be completely decentralised and run your own node and network and what not, but the number of people running the networks are likely to be the same proportion as the number of people running their own git servers.

A system that is capable of easy decentralised is better than one that isn’t, but we choose central hubs or bases either way for day to day use.
Unfortunately we've seen the same trend with low-fat, Atkins, keto, etc.

All of them are probably fine in that they, at first, forced you to avoid all the processed crap. But eventually it became too profitable a segment to ignore for the food industry and suddenly it is easy to eat 5,000 calories a day of keto desserts.
The repeated references to Breton Woods/petrodollar reminds me of when Nigel Farage kept banging on about Habeas Corpus during the Brexit debates. To put it another way, this sounds like the lunatic ramblings of a homeless man hanging around a bus station.

What happens if a month from now, some major governments decide "the environmental impacts of bitcoin have become ludicrous, have yourselves an 80% transaction tax to cover the CO2 cost"?
I have been receiving vegan recipes from Riverford Organic Farmers but they start to get boring. That's my main pet peeve of it. Not sure it's just the Riverford Recipe boxes or in general. Maybe the problem I am not a huge fan of Quinoa or lentils that keep having in the recipes.
Interesting, since many years I eat like a monkey (mostly fruits and some plants) + rice complement sometimes. And I turned to very local food (either foraged or a local producer), I eat small bugs, insects, slugs, ants, ... not really intentionally (I try to filter as much as possible), but it's just hard to avoid, and it doesn't really affect taste and as you say, they're marvelous nutrients in the end. Similarly, I tend to eat the most of fruits, their skin, etc.. and I can really feel a difference with standard shiny supermarket fruits/legumes, they are so less "nutritive"

It also reminds me of bears, they're often portrayed as honey-hunters, but in the end they are likely most interested by eating bees and larvae as well
Double think, double speak are alive and well. Using section 230 in an intelligent manner would require discernment. That doesn't forward anyone's agenda.
I have been vegan for 6 months now and have seen remarkable health improvements, all verified by lab testing.

It has been very amusing having long discussions with my cardiologist trying to explain to him the changes I did as he could not believe the data he was getting.
In my country of 8 millions (Switzerland), about 340'000 people commute to Switzerland each day to work [1]. These people come from Italy, France, Germany and a bit from Austria. A lot of these people do important work, such as working in hospitals, administration, services, ...

Locking down the borders completely would just have been impossible. You would be suddendly in need of nurses and doctors. Sometimes, more than 50% of the personal in bordering hospitals are cross-border commuters [2]. Yes, you could discuss on how Switzerland is taking advantage of "cheap" labor from neighboring countries, but it does not change the fact that for Switzerland, closing completely the borders (with 14 days isolation) is just an impossible task.

Jainism is completely different to veganism, so unsure what point you’re trying to make here.
"more, the most powerful civilization in the world, the US, has objectively one of the worst diets in history."

The diets in the US have gotten worse in recent decades (way more processed foods especially) and the US is objectively facing the ramifications of those diets. That doesn't make them any less powerful but this discussion was actually about health and I think in this regard it paints a clear picture that this is not the way to go.
Oh man, this x 100. So often I come back an hour later and realise I’d completely forgotten what I was doing.
due process may not be the most appropriate or in any manner appropriate terminology.

but prior to 230, I could sue a site for distributing defamatory material.

Congress removes my right or my ability to do so. It gives my rights away to the site who it provides 230 immunity to.

Sites and society may have benefited from this trade, but individual have lost fundamental abilities to seek their day in court and have gained nothing.

I think Congress should temper 230 by saying that if a company accepts 230 immunity from lawsuits, it needs to provide basic due process rights to appeals processes to users.

If it doesn't want to provide reasonable appeals processes, it forfeits its 230 immunities and can seek redress in court.

A truly vegan society would eventually go extinct if they didn't supplement with B12. To my knowledge, this isn't possible without modern technology.

It can take many years for freshly minted vegans to have their stores of essential nutrients depleted, so they may in fact reproduce successfully for one generation, but in the long run severe malnutrition is inevitable.
Vegan for 30 years here. I've never really worried about diet at all, except I guess reading about it a bit in the very beginning. Last medical checkup I got, levels of everything were fine.

B12 is added as a supplement to soy milk and some other vegetarian stuff (here in Australia, at least, and I assume elsewhere), so I've never needed to worry about that.
Can it be healthy? Yes. Is it healthy by default, is it typically healthy? Not really.
Yeah I agree that catching things in the moment is also great. It's all just tricky.
> Wouldn't sales naturally decay over time anyway? The author doesn't even know the month the book was pirated, so I'm pretty skeptical that they've measured the impact of piracy reliably.

What...? The author gave a pretty darn clear timeline:

- I released Overcoming Gravity 1st Edition in 2011

- Overcoming Gravity 1st Edition was pirated around August or September of 2012.

- "Book sales immediately dropped 40% over 3 months."
I think it’s important to note that due to soil deficiencies (because of intensive farming) and factory farming, 90% [1] of B12 supplements are given to livestock.
Regardless of your diet it’s good to make sure you are getting everything you need and are not deficient in anything. I think veganism raises awareness of that fact.

A suppressed European Commission study found piracy to have negligible effect: https://juliareda.eu/2017/09/secret-copyright-infringement-s...

The study’s conclusion: With the exception of recently released blockbusters, there is no evidence to support the idea that online copyright infringement displaces sales. While this result is not unique, but consistent with previous studies, it begs the question:

Why did the Commission, after having spent a significant amount of money on it, choose not to publish this study for almost two years?
Researchers Say: A Dyson Sphere Could Bring Humans Back from the Dead
A few noticeable (and non-scientific!) points from someone who's dabbled with both sides over the last year (spent ~1/3 of the year as a vegetarian/vegan):

- I eat a lot more fruits, salad, and vegetables as a vegan (duh!)

- The diversity of the food I eat _increases_ as a vegan (even though there are less options to eat)

- I do feel the need to supplement protein (which I hate to do and stay away from when non-vegan)

- I also supplement B12 as a vegan

This is enforceable in remote island countries, but in ie Europe its not. You can't 100% lock the borders, there would be shortages of basically everything, from food to materials used in all industries. Europe is not so unified as US for example, there is a lot of independence, for better or worse. Food is transported on trucks, till it reaches from Spain say Poland it crosses minimum of 4-5 countries, each with their own covid situation, laws, rules, bans etc.

If we knew back a year ago how bad things would get and are still getting, I believe such a lockdown for say a month could pass, otherwise not and there isn't a central authority that could enforce it. And saying it was to be expected doesn't make much sense, spread of predicted outcomes was basically between yet another flu to another spanish flu.

I agree that deliberately breaking the work-from-home routine is helpful for mental and physical health. Not very sure that people need a bath every day though (there were studies showing that some soaps and shampoos are really bad for the skin so shouldn't be applied daily).

IMO working from home can even further destroy your work-life balance -- but only if you let it, which is sadly easy in these conditions. So I agree with you there, we have to get out of our way -- literally and figuratively -- to compensate for some negative WFH traits.
Omnivores get most of their b12 from supplements too. The difference is that the supplements are given to animals and not directly to humans.

So if you want to be more open about where all the nutritions come from, we should also disclose everything we feed to animals.

Or alternatively, we can simply start enriching some basic foods like plant based milk with b12 and d3.

A couple of weeks is basically the bare minimum. New Zealand seem to have gotten a little lucky with their latest outbreak; one or two people not noticing their symptoms, or going for a walk with someone different, or interacting for a little longer at a restaurant and they could easily have ended up having to lock down for months like Guernsey or the Isle of Man. (Arguably, it's still a little too soon to be sure they've gotten away with it.)
I've seen my mother and father dwindle in health while following a 'Whole Food Plant Based Diet' over the last five years. They followed it to a T, going to see Campbell more than once. They have both suffered G.I. issues, connective tissue problems. My mother's osteoporosis is now bordering life threatening. Once fish and dairy were re-introduced, they got better. The level of zealotry made it difficult to talk to them about their condition.

That’s very good, I am glad your health improved.

However 1) correlation does not mean causation, less so with one data point 2) people who radically change their diet often do some other lifestyle change out of the same concerns.

For instance is not uncommon to switch diet and start exercising at the same time, or switching to a more regalar sleep schedule. Did you?
> When it comes to finite state machines at least, it's very easy to use an ID index instead of the raw pointer itself.

As an old C programmer, the difference between an array index and a pointer caught me by surprise. In C a pointer is just an unchecked offset into memory. A real array index is just a unchecked offset into ... maybe a smaller chunk of raw memory.

But in rust, an array index is something that comes with additional bounds checking overheads with every use. And the memory it points to is also constrained - the entire array has to be initialised, so if the index passes the bounds check you are guaranteed rusts memory consistency invariants are preserved. Indexes also allow you to escape the borrow checker. If you own the slice, there is no need to prove you can access an element of the slice.

So yeah, you can use indexes instead of pointers, but for rust that's like saying you can use recursion instead of iteration. Indexing and pointers are two very different things in rust.
New Zealand and Australia have had cases outside of quarantine despite every single traveller who enters those island nations being kept in hotel quarantine, tested multiple times, and being released only after the quarantine period ends. Some of those cases are directly traceable to quarantined travellers, some aren't. In any case, even those measures which aren't practical except in an island nation aren't effective enough to prevent outbreaks when implemented on a larger scale; the bigger the country the more opportunities for one of those cases to turn into something that's not easily controlled.

To my knowledge, there is not a single tribe known to survive on a truly vegan diet for any extended period of time (several generations).

Jains are generally vegetarians, not vegans. There may be some anecdotes that some Jains did live off truly vegan diets, but then again there are anecdotes of people living off sunshine. Neither are plausible.
> Put shortly, I would have vaccinated college kids and working age folks first. They are not likely to die from it, but are far more likely to spread it than elderly and severely diseased folks.

Many people agree with you. Vaccinating the most mobile people and isolating the most "immobile" (retirees, children, sick) is very logical.

My guess is politicians know it but they would never make such a decision. It'd be a political suicide.
I disagree that that's clear. What month was it released in? What month pirated? What was the trend of sales up to that point? Even the phrase "sales immediately dropped 40% over 3 months" is unclear because things that are immediate usually don't take 3 months.

A graph showing sales with an annotation on when the piracy happened would be clear. Even better if it could be compared to similar books and sales figures.
The necessity of B12 supplementation isn't really hidden in vegan spaces.

That said, omnivores often lack nutrients too, including B12. It's seems veganism actually forces you to be conscious about it.
