There’s an important distinction (that I think the NFT market has pretty much solved):

The OP’s point can be said about pieces where the minter does not have the rights to sell the NFT. We have seen some examples of this in the NFT space (as we have with physical art/property/items).

However: in cases where the minter has the provenance, the analogy falls flat, and instead we can talk about NFTs as an upgrade to the art of previous generations.
OK. I need to look into this. Thanks for the heads-up!
They did sign those treaties (e.g. with WTO membership), they just ignored them.

Depends on the libraries I guess, when that CVE fix is only available on a version that requires a compiler upgrade.

This all sound great for the city, but it makes me concerned about privacy. At least with the form somebody had to be in physical access to steal the information. Now they just need access to one cog’s Google drive.
Legitimate interest can be opt-out but it’s definitely a dark pattern presenting the same processing under both options. It should be either one or the other.

This is part of what "accessibility" covers, it's not just providing alternative text for images. A11y also deals with overcoming cognitive barriers, for example people with ADD benefit from a clear, easy-to-follow hierarchy of information.

For this person (and many others) accessible means easy to learn, and easy to follow.
Government services are available offline or via phone as well. The government has some of the strictest accessibility requirements for everything they do. It’s one of the reasons that it’s so expensive to roll out new government services.

People are directed to the online versions first because it’s fastest for everyone involved. We should be pushing everyone toward efficient online self-service first, while leaving the limited in person and call staff to handle the rare cases who need them.

The mistake here was that the person was only informed of the online version, rather than being told where to go or who to call to handle this offline.
it's a real term but it's not a useful term to engineers. there is no such thing as a "data lake system". there are databases, filesystems, object stores, etc. where the term 'data lake' is actually useful is in describing a logical system that holds data pulled from all over the company together into one place to non-technical people. inevitably the actual implementation will be a dozen or more different cobbled together systems and technologies, but if you try to explain that to your finance team their eyes will glaze over immediately, hence the need for the term 'data lake'.
Found this to be a good explanation of data lakes IMO: https://databricks.com/discover/data-lakes/introduction

That's, uh, a rather bold assertion. Perhaps you could elaborate on why you feel it's "broken by design"? I've never heard anyone take that position at all, much less make an implied claim that it's a widely-accepted position.

What doesn't make sense about it? The only thing that makes it a surprising twist is that it's a Disney movie where we expect our villains to wear cloaks and fur coats and twirl their mustaches and explain their motivations in Act 1.

Otherwise the seeds are all there. He's an ambitious thirteenth son of a king, literally ignored by his brothers and likely neglected by his own parents. He has no future in his own land. He says outright that he's "been searching [his] whole life to find [his] own place." After just one night he's trying to marry the naive young princess desperate for love (which was, btw, already established). He jumps at an opportunity to take charge and win the hearts of the people when Anna rides off.

If this were anything but a Disney movie, by that point everyone would be asking themselves what he's really up to.
Considering that at the end of WWII, large swathes of global population were subject to colonial rule, particularly in Africa and Asia, I wonder how the current situation you describe compares.

Well, it’s very loosely based on the Hans Christian Anderson story about an evil Ice Queen, so it makes sense that the early iterations had a fairly sinister Elsa.

The idea that there is a biological 'switch' underlying depression is misleading. It is in a number of cases but it's only a small percentage.

The crux with depression (and mental health more generally) is that it's a vastly complex phenomenon [1] that we do not fully understand.

We are scoring wins in many battles (e.g. MDMA-assisted therapy) but we are still far away from winning the war.

This will be an unpopular observation in certain circles, but to any outsider Rust is already visibly as complicated as C++. Rust, like C++, will only ever become more complex, never simpler (except in a certain sense I return to below).

This is no indictment. Rather, it is a necessity, and a prerequisite to industrial success. The world is complex, and will not adapt itself to a language. A language must adapt itself to the problems the world needs solved. Failing to address a need sends users to languages that do not.

The best that can be done is to start as simple as possible, and then develop as required. (C++ did did not get the luxury of starting simple, but only as simple as was, then and there, possible.) Every language that succeeds becomes, eventually, as complex as its users can handle. The limit is human-scale. The pressure to grow has no natural limit.

There is a real sense in which added complication is needed to give an experience of better simplicity. We see this frequently in releases: restriction X has been removed. The surface texture of the language has become smoother, at the expense of the implemention, which needs to grow to implement the relaxed restriction.

It is always easy to justify removing restrictions, simplifying the description of the language. But this is how languages grow. As restrictions are removed, code in the language becomes simpler. The language takes on more responsibility, so the programmer has less. This is a positive development.

Rust is already a language that caters mainly to professionals, that demands serious education to adopt successfully. The majority of programmers will never succeed in adopting Rust. That was an early choice.

Every language is determined by its choices, which box in unpredictable later choices. Sometimes the right early choice forces what seems like a wrong later choice. That is our lot as humans in an unfolding world.

Celebrate Rust's trajectory as exactly what is needed to mature and succeed in a difficult world.
Interestingly north Norway (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_Cyber_Defence_Forc...) and Germany (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber_and_Information_Domain...) have created cyber branches in their armed forces as peers to the traditional Army/Navy/Air Force branches. I’m curious how this will play out.
I don't think it is supposed to. But I do think that a lot of people believe (falsely, in my opinion) that capitalism will produce the best outcomes. Identifying cases where that is clearly not the case can disabuse people of that idea.

A few lines above your quote, we have this:

> Axios has a stated mission to "help restore trust in fact-based news.

And a link onward to a piece with the title Our promises to you: Axios Bill of Rights:

https://www.axios.com/axios-bill-of-rights-f4f96067-ff4c-47d...

First, the US Constitution's Bill Of Rights is not a list of promises; rather a list of demands that the central authority limit impositions of its power upon regional authorities and free citizens. Axios tries to slip into the more respected clothing that is the work of others -- but it does not fit.

Worse follows. As prolog to the Axios "Rights" we find this:

I just read the article to my 4 year ar old daughter and asked her, so what do you think, this article says the trolls are bad. "Do you think they were bad or good?"

Watching on YouTube and suffering through the compression artifacts made me think that the code has reached near absolute compression ratio of the resulting audio/video.

Kind of astounding to think that the 720p50 video from YouTube is millions if not billions of times larger than the code that produced it and is still incredibly lossy.

(Re: compression, if we're being technical then the C64 machine instructions that the code calls would need to be included in the total. I think?)
If you can get a law degree, you can definitely learn comp sci. Lots of people with no experience think it's magic, but it really isn't that hard to learn.

We can only know this for certain looking back. Knowing this looking forward is often cynicism, and it's a trap imho

EDIT: The above are mostly something I try to keep in mind with government public consultations.

It's not like you can drop off anyone for euthanasia, though. From the article, they must

- suffer a "serious or incurable illness" or a "chronic or incapacitating" condition that causes "intolerable suffering"

- be an adult Spanish national or a legal resident

- be "fully aware and conscious" when they make the request, which has to be submitted twice in writing, 15 days apart

We have Euthanasia in The Netherlands for decades but there hasn't been any evidence of abuse as far as I can tell.

There have been some cases where there was prosecution of doctors because of protocol violations.

But I can't recall any 'abuse' of killing of elderly people for the inheritance.

The reality is that nothing is fool-proof. In theory anything ever can be abused.

But the risk of harm vs. the risk of benefit is too great in favour of the benefit.

That's why we drive cars even though they kill 40K+ people a year in the USA.

So I don't think the theoretical risk of abuse is a good reason to not allow Euthanasia.

Edit: In The Netherlands, each case of Euthanasia / request for assisted suicide is evaluated by multiple doctors / psychiatrists. Each case has to be reported to a special Euthanasia commission that will also verify if things were done right. We don't go over it lightly.

It’s in fathomable that the government would put a person in jail for 30 years and dump them back into society without even a PowerPoint briefing on the state of the world.

Isn’t incarceration a two way street? If government takes away (for good reason or not) your personal freedom aren’t they liable for your well-being during that time? And more importantly, responsible for the person “their” system returns to society at large?

>> a fledgling industry in a developing country cannot compete with those of already industrialized countries

Except that often they do. With lower safety/environmental standards, lower wages, and lower expectations many "developing" countries can undercut the labor markets of developed countries, operating advanced manufacturing at far reduced costs. Many would ague that is exactly how China has risen to power.

A reliance on export of raw resources is also no telltale of a country still "developing" its economy. Canada is heavily dependent on resource extraction and export. Canada is also a former colony. But would anyone here dare say Canada is a "developing" economy?

I find the Rust embedded-hal to be quite good. STM's HAL code is a horrible inefficient mess, though their LL library isn't bad. I'd much rather use Rust's hal crates and probe-run.

That said, CubeMX's configuration tool is very nice. But that's used (hopefully) once at board bringup and never again, so not worth sticking with C for.
I actually wanted to suggest the opposite. Make everyone play by the same rules. Remove blue checkmarks. Anything you read could be a lie or someone pretending to be someone else, when taking things at face value is unsustainable one has to learn to think critically.

Of course, this would be against Twitter's interests. They’d rather fit authorities’ stereotypes as to how a public communication channel should behave, and be normalized that way. Safer, more shareholder value.
This "loophole" is necessary to allow certain usecases not to need a banner or opt-in at all. E.g. If I want to buy something online, the shop has to know my adress to ship me something. It shouldn't have to ask to use it for that usecase. Otoh, if it does not ship me anything and still asks me for an address, that would not be legitimate interest anymore, except it can argue for it (e.g. needs the adress for the invoice).

I would argue that this loophole is for conveniency and was not a hot topic anywhere. How it used now however is a different thing.

> there’s no reason to believe we’ll ever be able to replicate a neuron with non-meat technology

Can you back this up with anything? In ignorance, I could just as well state: "there’s no reason to believe we won't ever be able to replicate a neuron.."

I suspect you are being pedantic with the definition of neuron, i.e. not allowing for simulations that contribute the same/similar net effect but fail to account for every last irrelevant molecule. The fact that you say the whole body needs to be replicated is what makes me suspect this:

> Including, again, the different species of fungus that live exclusively in our toenails

If this where true, elimination all the fungus in my toenails would make me: inhuman or non-conscious?

If it would simply make me (chaos-butterfly style) a different, but still human & conscious version of myself, then I'm not sure why it's necessary.

I think the definition of human can be stretched, and obviously once your body is replaced digitally you have altered the definition. But I think you have chosen an overly strict definition in your "every cell" maxim.
You are giving examples of the complexity of this topic when it comes to individual cases, which I do acknowledge and am aware of. However you did not acknowledge / wage them against the many complex loopholes euthanasia laws are opening, which I tried to point at.

As you say, we do already have palliative care. Why not improve much further on this front instead of opening all the legal loopholes, which can easily lead to more suffering in the end (if one wants to play this “sum of suffering” thinking game)?
I remember that I heard a representative of the Spanish government on the radio talk about the 'urgency' of implementing this law after winning the last election. Hundreds of thousands of people struggle just to get by in their everyday lives, and the urgency is allowing euthanasia?

Why the urgency; doesn't the shadows of euthanasia stand the piercing Sun of Righteousness?
