That's a bit like a German health minister answering the question "why is drug consumption forbidden?" with the words "because drugs are illegal".

Yeah sure, that's technically correct, but laws can be changed. Including the constitution, with the prime example being your source, the first amendment.

If I hallucinate prismatic shapes overlaying everything, it does not follow that there is some non-physical phenomenon which is responsible.

“It is obvious that the world is covered in prisms. It’s obvious that those prisms don’t fit in my eyeballs, therefore the entire scientific edifice is mistaken and we need a metaphysical explanation for my experience.”
It essentially assumes incompetence on the part of women. That's not the only possible explanation.

I don't even think it's the most plausible explanation. Social pressure and upbringing are large factors in human behavior and it takes time to make society-wide changes.
one bit of relevant information to add to my comment:

The guy who wrote pulseaudio also designed systemd.

Since pipewire seems to get rave reviews, and pulseaudio grumbles... a natural train of thought would be - get the guy who wrote pipewire to take a stab at systemd.

As to specific systemd changes, I would love if someone:

- Make the systemd config files more intuitive. While the old /etc/init.d/foo files contained arguably too much logic, the systemd service files are stupid enough that logic frequently has to be pushed into (and hidden inside) a daemon.

change the awful directory structure/files/links to something more elegant and organized It's like they threw them all in one directory, and simultaneously sharded them across /etc /lib etc

status commands/journalctl/binary log files. ugh.

How has it absorbed so much into itself?

It's become a little like busybox - making an analogy here - where it absorbs tried-and-true utilities and replaces them with "good enough" that... isn't. One example might be NTP which does time sort of poorly. Yes ntp is crufty, but it does time extremely well.

I'd agree with that, and it was a very heated debate but the change happened before plastic contamination was as heated a topic as it is now (~30 years or so ago) and what won out was the energy argument.

The way recycling of bottles happens in Norway is actually quite interesting and would be very easily adjustable. Basically there's a tax on all drinks containers, but you can "buy yourself free" from the tax by demonstrating collection rates, and the tax is higher than the cost of recovering bottles for recycling so in practice most distributors and retailers are part of a collective recycling scheme that requires all of them to accept bottles for recycling. It stands out to me as a great model for relatively non-invasive government regulation, in that it's setting a cost to account for an externality, provides a relatively cheap option to mitigate it, but if another option works better for you, you can choose it. If you don't want to participate, you pay and other people get the tax deduction when people return your bottles elsewhere anyway.

All that'd really be needed would be to adjust the initial tax rate to properly depend on the relative environmental cost of failing to collect different types of products.
They are selling cheaper and more expensive tickets. They have cheaper options for price-sensitive customers, but they don't want to make them easy to find for everybody.

Like all things it’s a balance: we need returns to capital, we need returns to labour. The gains from productivity increases need to be distributed equitably.

We need private purpose, we need public purpose.

You should be able to build a machine and then pay people to run it, but the first person who builds a machine shouldn’t be able to dominate all labour and further machine production.
I'm certainly no expert but I do enjoy this genre. 東野圭吾https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keigo_Higashino is the latest author I read about who has won Edogawa Rampo Prize.

His writing has a typical feel of the eeriness/melancholy of the Japanese theme of mysterious crimes (from the Chinese translation so I might be biased) and I really enjoy that atmosphere of sorrow and tiny bit of cruelty.

The parent explicitly pointed out that religious organizations don't operate outside the law. If they did, literally every corporation and political party in the US would also establish itself as a religion.

What Congress isn't allowed to do is pass a law stating "no religious organizations in the US are allowed to practice human sacrifice." But you still wouldn't be able to appease Xanakto the Moon God because Congress is still allowed to make murder illegal in general, just not exclusively in the context of religious practice.
Poisoning business with revenue from Google Ads
By reading following thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26956077 yesterday and this one
https://danfabulich.medium.com/never-run-google-ads-if-you-have-an-android-app-897a20604450
something occurred to me.

Google is usually punishing businesses for exploiting ads revenue, so basically in my understanding if you have users that deliberately click ads, or some kind of automated system that does that for you Google will punish business. In most severe case they will close their account.

So, now question is what if someone decide to do that to kill off competition? Anyone can buy 10 mobile phones install any game or app and kill it (regardless of size or popularity) by deliberately triggering Google's algorithms responsible for add frauds. This can be deliberate intention or just spite.

Can someone confirm or dispute this?

While this is good and practical advice, it does irritates me that there isn't more of a push for regulation to protect people against automated actions like this. I know in the EU we have protections under GDPR which allow us to request an explanation for an automated action, but I don't believe we have anyway to request human review.

Part of the problem it seems is that even if these actions are unfair and unjustified it still makes financial sense for these companies to be trigger happy with automated account bans rather than implementing a more nuanced and intelligent approach which would likely require some human intervention or investment in more intelligence automated systems.

If we had some way to request human review or dispute automated actions it would become far more expensive to take unjustified automated actions as people would just complain and request a human reviews the case. Personally I think we've become far too comfortable with tech companies making it almost impossible to contact them. Requiring a human review process for automated actions and requiring companies have some way for customers to contact a human would create jobs and give us some legal right to adequate consumer service. It's weird to me that we have rights when it comes to how our data is used (at least in the EU), but no right to basic consumer service when our business is destroyed overnight because Google takes some automated action.

It still seems doubtful this kind of defence is going to hold up in court...

> You can have third-party Android app stores

It's just completely unrealistic that a classic consumer will install any other app store on their device, they just use what is there and that's for the majority of Android phones the Play Store.

If Google would truly be open for competition, they would let the consumer choose the app store, the search engine and everything else when they first turn on the device.
Yea, it seems to come down to the penalties being high enough that this fraud isn't worth it.

As a software engineer, the idea of writing in my bad handwriting the tip and total and then someone who is probably in a hurry typing it in seems like a way to introduce more human error.

That's much less likely to happen with a terminal and, since most banks here send you instant payment notifications, you're likely to catch it immediately.

Obviously this system is working for billions of payments a year over there so it can't be too much of an issue! Next time I'm there, I'll not worry about it.
Maybe. How many users are on F-Droid though?

I think the alternative is a simple web app. For many many apps it would work just fine. If it works in a browser on a PC, it really should work on a browser on a phone.

Fallacy 4 is wrong. There are good reasons to believe intelligence can be "disembodied". The primary one is that signal mappers decouple.

> it's still an SoC if it has "external" memory

I meant "soldered ram next to SoC with cpu and gpu cores", i.e. not DIMMs and 200W PCIe GPU. For a pro chip in a desktop form factor I think DIMMs and PCIe graphics are inevitable, and that's the interesting storyline in the evolution of the M1. We know they'll produce better M1's, but the integration with 3rd party graphics, the choice of DIMM type and so on is interesting.
Except in this case quite literally every tax other than maybe sin taxes are leaps and bounds better than a sales tax. Even terrible taxes like income and payroll taxes are vastly preferable to sales tax when it comes to not disproportionately hurting low-income households. If you want to ensure the wealthy pay their fair share, a sales tax is about as counterproductive as it gets.

Tax things with inelastic supply that rich people and large corporations are more likely to hoard. Land in particular is about ideal for this.
I think what's often overlooked is that git wasn't created as a general solution to version control, but for the specific needs of Linux kernel development.

Game development is pretty much on the opposite end of the spectrum, 99.9% of game project data isn't text (maybe not by number of files, but definitely by file size), and game development also traditionally isn't as extremely decentralized as Linux kernel development.

The problem isn't git, but that it has become so popular that it's now the defacto standard version control system, and people expect it to work for scenarios it wasn't created for (at least people who don't know much about the specific workflow requirements of large-scale game development).

Yes, I have owned a Prius and Corolla Hybrid and on both vehicles the front rotors always go very rusty because I only ever press the brake down enough to activate the regenerative braking (for better fuel economy). The regenerative braking power of these vehicles is about 20-30kW.

And as a side effect, I haven't needed to replace the brake pads for about 150,000 kms on the Prius. Actually the mechanic told me that they look brand new. I haven't experienced any problems from the rust yet. The front rotor on the Corolla (2020) seems to be a much better, newer design, and doesn't rust nearly as much as the Prius (2014).

endnote. For anyone considering the new Corolla Hybrid ... I rate it very highly as perhaps the best car ever designed.
No, but when I'm drawing diagrams and realize I need to show that this relationship is different to that one, I think "Ah-hah. I will use the UML arrow notation instead of inventing something incoherent as I go".

Sometimes one may be able to take a good guess at where one did not comply with the letter or the spirit of a certain rule, but still not be told which specific violation was detected and triggered a ban. Both are useful information and the question could have referred to either.
Surprisingly, the response from the Signal team hints that Signal is sometimes P2P. This is the first time I hear about this, what is it referring to exactly? I, like you, thought Signal was 100% centralized.

Is it doing anything useful while it's there? This trickle-down bullshit is at this point completely debunked, right?

What about downsides of the capital being there (like lobbying politics to introduce economic policies that harm majority of citizens)?

If the balance effect of it leaving is positive (and I think there's a good chance it is) - I say good riddance :)

How does that change anything? You're just moving the burden to the nearly-poor who can't rely on those things.

edit: don't forget that for your scheme to work we would need to increase sale tax. Unless you had zero income when being poor it would still negatively effect you.
I agree, I think it's totally insane that we are allowing this to happen (and I'm most the liberal/free-market person I know).

Google is literally one of the most profitable companies in the world. It could easily implement a fair, open and transparent appeals process if it wanted. It's choosing not to. That is a massive "fuck you" to everybody who has invested huge amounts of time and money to build businesses that basically now operate at the whim and mercy of an unaccountable giant.

Suing also isn't at good solution. If your business suddenly get cut off from 100% of its customers, do you think you're going to have enough cash sitting around to pay employees and lawyers for the next 3 years waiting for your case to be heard? There needs to be a mandated appeals process that is audited by an independent government agency.
Then they probably don't give a shit about what the ffmpeg license says.
Quite the opposite. I think the layperson view is to read "respect" as in "Congress is not allowed to make laws favoring one religion over another".

This interpretation would be compatible with taxing churches (as long as they are all taxed equally).

It was certainly my view before I studied the topic.

It turns out that congress is not allowed to legislate religious establishments at all.
I thought that was several years ago already? Anyway, on Duckduckgo it still works.
I think my follow on question would be which is better- a scented candle or a scented plug in like an Air Wick or Glade? Or are they similar and the only good choice is to have no perfumes floating in the air?

We are not far away from each other on the goal here it seems only in how to achieve it.
A lot of people don't know how to use engine braking, I guess teaching them that is going to significantly increased your brake pad life on existing vehicles in circulation.

Remember there are 3 brakes in your car, handbrake, foot brake and engine braking.
It's quite common to infer social status from speech. Since the level of education used to correlate with social status, it made sense to have a preference. If that correlation still holds is hard to tell, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Not necessarily. I'd imagine it helps the survival chances of your grandchildren if you're around when they're growing up (though it probably mattered less back when children were raised by communities than in the nuclear families we have nowadays).
> In this particular example, a copyright violation was detected in a image, so an automated response "someone else's image was used without permission, violating copyright" seems entirely plausible.

Google should not be enforcing copyright in the first place without at least a report of infringement by the copyright holder - and in that case they should pass the report along to the developer.

I try to do the same with meat. I can easily afford it and do it seldom.

60-100$ price for bio beef is not a problem.

My internal issue has more to do with the conflict of me being able to afford the best meat on the market but a lot more can't.

Can I tell poor people to stop buying cheap meat while still consuming it myself?
