> Proposed fix: put the right not to be charged with a victimless crime in a constitutional amendment.

That's a good idea, but much harder to implement than it sounds. Being a small time drug dealer may be a victimless crime to many people, but it certainly isn't to parents who've had a teenager who's OD'd.

And then there are crimes like insurance fraud, that don't hurt any one individual, but do make the cost of living higher for everyone else who's premiums go up as a result.

TLDR; it's very hard to determine which crimes are and are not "victimless".
Looking at my steam profile, I spent 38 hours playing this game. I did many sidequests. There's this weird compulsion among fans to say "you didn't give it a chance", which pushes people to do the other playthroughs, but I spent thirty-eight good-faith hours with this game. There are themes of how people go through inescapable self-destructive cycles of hurting each other or whatever. Let's talk spoilers past this point, then - what are the deeply philosophical themes of this game in your estimation?
"are you bringing in user input from a web form into your shell scripts?"

This is shell scripting. We have literally decades of experience with these. We know for a positive fact that simple concatenation is dangerous. The contents of files, the names of files on the file system, and all the other things that shell scripts normally encounter are perfectly sufficient to wreck your day if you are too casual about them. Should you reply with something incredulous about this claim, be prepared for dozens of people to jump in with their war stories about how a single space in a filename in an unexpected place cost their business millions of dollars because of their shell script screwup. (Obviously, they are not that consequential on average, but the outliers are pretty rough in this case.)

Shell scripting is frankly dangerous enough just with what is on your system already; actually hooking up user input to it is borderline insane. Shell scripting would have to level up quite a bit to only be something to be concerned about when "user input" was being fed into it.

Learning to do half-decent shell scripting in most shells consists about half of learning the correct way to do things like pass through arguments from a parent to a child script, because for backwards compatibility reasons, all the easy ways are the wrong ways from the 1970s. It's nice when a more modern take on shell scripting is nicer than that.

I will also say when I'm evaluating libraries for things like shell scripting, I look for things like this, and it definitely doesn't score any points when I see stuff like this.
He's talking in measured terms about his own personal experience on his own personal vlog. It was probably cathartic for him (and for other people too.) No big deal.
MDIs (multiple document interfaces - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-document_interface) are great for some desktop apps but they don't translate very well to the web mainly because you can't deep link to a window set unless you use something like a persistent session id that keeps track of the window state on the server.
The Indie Web and Small Web movements (I count them as distinct) have done a good job of sparking the conversation so far, plus I guess Mastodon/ActivityPub helped to some extent. I think we'll see a mini-revival of the kind of content you're looking for.
Ah, good call.

Yeah "not considered" processed because it's what people are used to, not because it's safe or natural. Livestock have been genetically engineered via selective breeding for millenia before we knew what DNA was. Unless we have reason to believe that mixing pea protein and heme in sterile vat is actually more dangerous than fermentation, it's FUD. Grilling meat can release carcinogens (https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/d...).
I thought you misrepresented the linked paper - as it was clearly about checking some cross-immunity and not recombining genes - but then I found out deeper in the abstract:

"""
Since SHC014 could not be success fully isolated, a recombinant virus (rWIV1-SHC014S) was constructed based on the WIV1 backbone with the replacement of SHC014S gene, as described previously (Zengetal.,2016). The S sequence of SHC014 was amplified with primer pair (F-SHC014-Bsa I, 5′-AGTGGTCTCAACGAA-CATGAAATTGTTAGTTTTAGTTTTTGCTAC-3′ and R-SHC014-Bsa I, 5′-TCAGGTCTCAGTTCGTTTATGTG-TAATGTAATTTGACACCCTTG-3′), digested with BsaI, and inserted into an artificial bacterial chromosome along with the other viral cDNA fragments."""

Huge fan of Hetzner, but dedicated servers do not invalidate the value proposition of the cloud.

Ordering a server at Hetzner can take anywhere between a few minutes and a few days. Each server has a fixed setup cost of around the monthly rent. They only have two datacenters in Europe. They don't have any auxillary services (databases, queues, scalable object storage, etc.). They are unbeatable for certain use-cases, but the cloud is still valuable for lots of other scenarios.

Sure hints would be good and much appreciated! When you say "our diet doesn't look like a herbivore/fruit eater at all", I see tables like this [1] and it would strongly suggest the opposite. Maybe it's propaganda... I don't know, I should like to see something like a ScienceBrief on it.

In terms of the last thing you said. You phrased it as "australopithecus ate meat"; it seems they predominantly were herbivorous according to wikipedia[2]. Which doesn't preclude eating meat, but could easily be misinterpreted from the way you put it.

The elevator-pitch is "WASM first language". Which is good, I guess we'll see some unique capabilities here? But we get something that's very close to JavaScript, and with no discernible benefits.

So in a way, while I commend the project on shipping, the unfortunately conclusion here is rather "there's no reason to use WASM-first languages".
For what it’s worth, and a little off topic, I would never ever purchase a product that went in or closely on my body from Amazon. Jacket? Maybe. Food? Not likely. Mouth guard that sits in my mouth for hours every night? Absolutely not, no, ever.

Too many fake products that look like they’re the real things, and if they’re fake who knows where they come from or what they’re made of.
Unfortunately, the reality is that we have no new data on the origin of covid-19.

No on-the-ground analysis has been allowed in China.

If you were going to write a fake review wouldn’t you praise the item instead of just writing one that makes you sound like an idiot who doesn’t get the purpose of a review?
>Consider all the implications that ubiquitous surveillance by unaccountable private entities carries

I've legitimately never seen an implication other than "I'm uncomfortable with it" that isn't illegal.

>Plus, the fact that you can advertise extremely harmful drugs such as alcohol (or gambling) at all

Yeah, advertising those things at all should be illegal.
Another suspicious element is the extremes of 1 and 5. At best its a 'you either love it or hate it', at the very least it is controversial. Amazon could flag it as such.
Is drunk driving without running anyone over that particular night victimless? I agree with your sentiment generally, but I think the details get tricky.

> Yes, there was a case where hackers were able to gain brake/steering control of a Jeep, but that’s definitely not the norm.

And that’s not because Jeep removed the remote control or the software switch, it’s because Jeep improved the network security. Now, there are a whole bunch more brands of cars that use the same remote access system Jeep is using. And there are a bunch of other systems in other car brands. How would you place a Tesla or other self-driving car into your black-box philosophy? The brakes and steering can run 100% of the time on software.

Are you sure KLIM’s airbag vest doesn’t have a CAN bus and a verification process?

I don’t trust Boeing or Toyota to get it right, so no I don’t trust a startup either. The point I’m making is not that I trust them, it’s that the vast majority of this comment section brought out pitchforks to rail against a straw man idea that Vice wrote about but does not match reality, and haven’t bothered to even read the product description that directly addresses things people here are speculating incorrectly about.

I've been using https://reviewmeta.com/ for a while now.

It removes reviews from most products, and shows you what it thinks the most trustworthy, and least trust worthy reviews are.

It's pretty inexcusable that Amazon hasn't implemented a similar approach. They certainly have enough resources.

So 4,500 hours of college spent on stem and 500 hour spent on humanities makes you more prepared for the world than a 5,000:0 ratio. That is plausible. But extrapolating that a 0:5,000 ratio of a humanities degree (or even 500:4,500) is equally helpful or even better is very problematic.

Covid was discovered in Wuhan by an eye doctor who died. Experts of corona viruses did not "discover" the virus, rather other people in the same vicinity did. The hospitals where regular doctors work discovered it.

The virus was location tracked to the wet market which is Right next to this virology lab.

Now correlation does not equal causation. But correlation and common sense is strong evidence for causation.

Chemo therapy is correlated with cancer deaths. It does not mean chemo causes cancer. The common sense does not match up, but it does for covid and it is highly unwise not to consider this lab as the causative source of the pandemic.
You do realize the power of China's information control system and the level of national fervor their people have right? Any mention would be investigated, probably hidden and the person and their family disappeared.
> They don't explicitly provide data

Because first and foremost, FB doesn't have explicit health data.

> If there's a correlation between likes and health concerns that allows for statistical inferences about users health, that's a security flaw.

Then any information is a security flaw.

Just being male/female or age alone allows for significant inferences about users' health. Not many 18 year old women are gonna click on those prostate exam ads. Similarly, those interested in body building probably won't be interested in "fat burning" pills, and those following transgender-themed pages are gonna be more interested in HRT ads.
> "good guy billionaire DRM industry lords with lots of secrecy for good"

Youngsters these days lack sense of capitalism (and hard work) and that's why they fail to start companies that produce value to the society.

DRM Industry protects intellectual property. The entire Hollywood fully invested in DRMs because they value their hard work.

A DRM-free world is a world without capitalism, where every hard work becomes pirated and the economy starts to crumble.
I think you're framing it the wrong way. You should be asking: What's the benefit to the user (and advertisers too!) of all this tracking and data collection?

Adtech often touts "relevant ads." But I think that's a red herring. I'm a fan of The Simpsons. That doesn't mean I want ads for Simpsons stuff following me from site to site. I'd probably get annoyed if I get Simpsons ads on a serious financial website. What's more important is that the ads are relevant to the context of the site they're displayed in. And that requires no tracking or personalization. It does, however, require human understanding and communication skills, not tech or data. People like ads if they're well-crafted and convey a compelling message in context.

For years I had a professional email and a non-pro email address that I kept separated. Personal email for job applications/linkedin/bills etc, non-pro for regular surfing. It's worked great until last year. I think it's Google cuz I login from the same browser/device, but they eventually linked it and I'm now being contacted by recruiters via my non-pro email which pretty much unmasks me and my social media accounts. To really have any kind of anonymity today, you pretty much have to hide as if a nation-state actor is after you.
How can you categorically say that is untrue while not providing any evidence to the contrary, but in fact confirm the other person's observations?

Essentially: they said commercials have A and B, you said that's untrue because comercials have to have A, B, and C.
I don't buy very much on Amazon anymore. Mostly name brand stuff that isn't often counterfeited. Guitar strings, books, moisturizer and such. It is still very good for grabbing random widgets (I just bought a knob puller for my guitars). Other than that I mostly order from places that I know stock quality product. Sur La Table for cooking stuff comes to mind.

It sounds like the maintainers of termite had a miserable time dealing with VTE, and are glad to see the back of it.
There is bias encoded in place. The most persistent problems with racism in the US have involved geospatial inequality (school and other segregation.)

If you are hiring people in the San Francisco Bay area you are going to be biased relative to the US population because the Bay area is by no means statistically normal. (e.g. to get close at all a bay area employer would have to almost completely exclude Asians.)

Idk, maybe I’m not understanding something but I feel like both of those examples are crimes with victims.

|Second of all, humans form powerful attachments to their kin and peers, and the death of a human brings great and lasting sadness to all other humans in their group. This is not something observed with cattle and most other animals (though there are exceptions), except for short periods of time.

straight up false. cattle mourn death and seperation from their calves very obviously, for days. Heres just a small example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Woulyd9NWFM&list=PLtc3iQTP5E... some cursory googling will support this. Whos to say they dont carry that burden for the rest of their lives? I only show outward emotion for a brief time period after a death, but I certainly have sadness for a long time after and it would be hubris to think something as intelligent as a pig or a cow would be unnaffected enough to justify that for 5 minutes of taste

It’s unclear how many of these cities survive due to the conditions of the desert vs. other areas.

The Mediterranean and Middle East are relatively dry climates which would favor stone construction. Temperate and wet climates may see more wood construction. Wood will not last long in a temperate or wet climate...

Looking at colonial New England the main ruins are stone fences separating property, nails, and grave stones along with a few preserved homes.

I’d be curious if it’s practical to tell the size of any of the population centers for pre columbian New England given how little remains of the colonial period.

Over the last couple of years my wife and I have been adopting what I jokingly refer to as a "local-etarian" diet. Essentially we've been paying attention more to how our food is sourced (trying to buy meat from folks like you!) rather than trying to cut out anything specific.

My take away from that experience specifically in the US is that if you want to be sustainable/humane/etc. the best effort to effectiveness ratio is probably just to be a vegetarian. Finding and vetting sources for meat in much of the US is not easy.

Most normal grocery stores simply don't stock anything resembling what you describe and even at our local Co-Op, the choices can be pretty inscrutable. Do I want the "We've ticked all the boxes to be labeled 'Organic'" or "We're Amish, so you should totally trust us" or the "We're too small to bother with fancy packaging or certifications"? It's hard to say, though generally we lean towards the last option.
Indeed, it's arguable that things that cost money will tend to come from an industry that's flush with money. So I can't really dispute your point. Before Android, smart phones were evolving, but outside of iOS, a phone came with a bespoke OS and a handful of apps.

I'm still not convinced that even smartphones would have been stillborn. The apps might have been more klunky, but I'm not sure that's important. For instance, I would be happy to receive my daily news in a giant flat text file, and don't need the features that generate "engagement" or tell me what other people are reading. People who are "in the know" about computing tend to use less flashy interfaces, and more of the terminal window.

But of course the ultimate answer is... I don't know.

It's interesting that the freemium model kind of contradicts that idea that we benefit from ads, since we are willing to pay money to get rid of them, rather than the other way around. Maybe the industry could be funded by making ads available to those who want them, for a price.
One I can think of are scientific data searching tools. Where you need to compare things. Tabs make that somewhat complicated especially with JS heavy pages where links are just "javascript:..." so you can't open to a new page

> This makes me wonder why Amazon, in all their analytical genius, isn't cracking down on this when it's so blatantly obvious.

Because there are absolutely no consequences, and general boosterism increases sales. If you go to site X and there are a mix of good and bad reviews for a product, but then go to Amazon and see all good reviews a similar product, you buy at Amazon. Especially if you have Prime, which you might just have because you like a tv show.

If a systematic fraud is exposed, accounts are banned, Amazon press-releases a "crackdown", new accounts are quietly created by new business entities owned by the same people, process continues. What's the cost?
>How do we know that the virus [wasn't]...simply detected in Wuhan because of the fact that there are experts in coronaviruses who reside there?

Even if true, that would not explain the elaborate story, regarding the wet market there and species-jumping.

Also, seems unlikely, as there'd have to be reason to suspect a new virus was circulating at scale that required investigation by these scientists, which could have happened anywhere in the country. I mean, it's hard to understand what mechanism you're proposing for scientists residing in the city leading to the discovery of the virus circulating among the population there. It's not like the scientists simply roam the streets with some superhuman ability to detect new viruses in people.
Well no drain plug, but there's always the possibility of losing a thruhull, having the dripless seal fail, or something. But it really isn't any different than the slip, and we've been on there every prior season.
