"he ACLU has been the premier organization fighting for free speech"

Just b/c the article says it does not make it so. The ACLU has a broad agenda of things they defend. "Civil Liberties" does not just mean speech.
> There is no singular thing called a "public Internet address".

There sort of is, it just doesn't help answer the question.

Both types of addresses have blocks explicitly carved out which are not unicast addresses to be routed over the public Internet. If you have one of those addresses, such as 192.168.0.1, that definitely isn't your "public Internet address" because people can't route stuff to it.

The European market is not a single market like the US - that's a big disadvantage when you're growing a company. It's a quasi-single market (and only for about 20 years at that). You still have to take lots of different national regulations into account, as well as the language barriers and very different cultures from country to country. The US is still the largest, single, free market - and that's what attracts entrepreneurs (and VCs).
DKIM increases your chances of getting mail into an inbox. There's no "negative signal", that is, a recipient has no way of knowing emails were meant to be signed and weren't.

I know you can provide indications with DMARC, but the usual thing is that if an email is SPF verified then it's considered legitimate even when not signed. Accordingly, DKIM can help land emails but only helps security in the unusual situation where you're trying to argue something in an inbox definitely came from you.
To me anyone dispensing security advice while using Chrome loses all credibility. Sure, it’s not an insecure browser per se. But it facilitates Google slurping my data and that falls within my threat model.

It's an all-or-nothing cutoff wall, so that if an employer schedules someone for 29 hours/week instead of 30, (for example) they don't have to provide anything.

I will address your comment in a non-sarcastic manner.

Monthly access, rentals, leases, all of these are fine. But the key point, mentioned twice in their statement, is the word "will." You WILL own nothing and you WILL be happy.

You might quibble about diction, it's just a word, but that has been through many many sets of editorial hands and eyes. It is a commandment, it is non-optional, it removes your choice in the matter. You WILL own nothing. Not you may own nothing, but that you will own nothing. And you're going to be happy about it, more ominously.

For a few of us, still, having choice matters.

It didn't work the first time[1]:

> Researching my book, I looked into what actually happened in the Weimar Republic. I found that, contrary to what most people think, Weimar Germany did have hate-speech laws, and they were applied quite frequently. The assertion that Nazi propaganda played a significant role in mobilizing anti-Jewish sentiment is, of course, irrefutable. But to claim that the Holocaust could have been prevented if only anti-Semitic speech and Nazi propaganda had been banned has little basis in reality. Leading Nazis such as Joseph Goebbels, Theodor Fritsch, and Julius Streicher were all prosecuted for anti-Semitic speech. Streicher served two prison sentences. Rather than deterring the Nazis and countering anti-Semitism, the many court cases served as effective public-relations machinery, affording Streicher the kind of attention he would never have found in a climate of a free and open debate.

and some are saying it's not working now[2]:

> For the Michalskis, all this was evidence that German society never truly reckoned with anti-Semitism after the war. Germany had restored synagogues and built memorials to the victims of the Holocaust, Wenzel said: “So for a lot of mainstream, middle-class people, that means: ‘We’ve done it. We dealt with anti-Semitism.’ But nobody really dealt with it within the families. The big, the hard, the painful questions were never asked.” In Wenzel’s view, the Muslim students who tormented his child were acting in an environment that was already suffused with native anti-Semitism. “A lot of conservative politicians now say, ‘Oh, the Muslims are importing their anti-Semitism to our wonderful, anti-anti-Semitic culture,’ ” he said. “That’s bull. They’re trying to politicize this.”

That's a very extreme interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, that it outlaws all limits on civilian weapons ownership except those which also apply to the military. Even among gun rights activists, few would go as far as you are going here.

The 2nd Amendment was originally only meant to apply to the federal government. Its original authors were happy for state and local government to regulate private firearms ownership, they just didn't want the federal government to be able to do it. At the time, various state and local laws existed restricting gun ownership, and the authors of the 2nd Amendment had no intention to disturb those laws. So they were a long way off the kind of gun rights absolutism that your views represent.

It was only in the 1920s that the US Supreme Court began to interpret the 14th Amendment to mean that the Bill of Rights applied to the states, an interpretation that the original authors of the 14th Amendment likely did not envision or intend. And it didn't apply that interpretation to the 2nd Amendment until 2010. It still hasn't to the 3rd or 7th Amendments, nor parts of the 5th or 6th.

> Go up 50% then down 50% and you're not even, you're down 25%.

It helps if you measure in the right units[0], namely bits, orders of magnitude, or fractions thereof. Up 50% is log(1.5) = +0.58 bits, down 50% is log(0.5) = -1 bits, and indeed 0.58-1 = -0.42, or 1.5*0.5=0.75, down 25%.

0: Well, strictly speaking the problem is that up/down X% isn't even in units at all.
When you consider the fact that Kurzweil's exponentials routinely begin anywhere from 100 thousand years ago to the early 1900s, and they all end somewhere in or before the 2050s, then 30 years before the 2050s (now) is indeed implied to be very special. The moment _just_ _before_ the vertical is as important as the vertical itself.
I think the term you'd want to research is "Welfare Cliff".
No. While most people (especially higher wage workers) get health insurance through their employer, it is not guaranteed that your employer will provide that benefit.

Prior to Obama, low wage workers might be scheduled to work full time without health insurance. If they're poor enough, they might get Medicaid from the state; otherwise they get to ruin their credit and claim bankruptcy if they show up at the emergency room.

Obama passed ACA, which required employers with full time workers to provide health insurance or pay a fine per worker. Full time is defined as 30 hours per week or more by ACA. So in low wage jobs, employers responded by scheduling people for 29 hours.

So if you work multiple jobs or a job+doordash/uber/etc... you may work full time, and not have any health insurance because no one employer is going over 29 hours.

ACA also expanded Medicaid, but some states decided to decline that expansion. So whether that covers a low wage worker depends on where they are, the size of their household, and their total household earnings.

For many of these workers, it's not just the risk of unexpected medical bills that they can't pay... they rarely have savings, so if they miss a few days of work (say because they contracted COVID), that can spiral into a series of missed bills. And with the eviction moratorium coming to an end, that now includes losing their home.

There is a different, but it's not so huge. A new nissan leaf starts at ~$25k new, after the federal tax credit. It might be slightly less if you get a state-level credit as well.

$15k vs $25k is in the same ballpark.

[reply] also, duplication of a codon is usually associated with some sort of damage to the molecule, is implicated in the genetic basis of numerous cancer outcomes, and is usually accompanied by a 16 base pair insertion in the case of DNA, as an artefact of the repair.

the CoV has a different enzyme that does similar repair task in addition to reading out the code thus incurring small span insertions, that are later proof read to clean up alignment mismatches.

there are cases such as influenza, corresponding to a single point insertion, rather than codon duplication that correspond to a jump in lethality such as the Heamagglutinin of influenza virus, leading to the 1918 Flu gaining lethality after pandemic distribution in a "second wave"

this insertion point is a cleavage site for the protien.

I agree there are many truck owners who do not work their trucks and they would benefit from an electric truck. But it is important not to over estimate this number. GMC/Chevy have been putting out a turbocharged four cylinder since 2019 for this crowd. I can't fathom spending so much money on a truck that can't tow much reliably. Funnily enough the V6 version gets better fuel economy on the highway by 1 MPG. These things really are limited by their terrible aerodynamics. That said, the shape of the regular pickup truck is a perfect use of space once you make use of every aspect of it, from cargo area, hitches, rear seat areas, to engine maintenance. I wouldn't want a different shape truck because it is very compact as-is.

This article is not the first time I’ve ever heard of the ACLU. I read dozens of their cases in law school and attended lectures and conferences they’ve organized. I’m well aware of their history.

It’s true that civil liberties means more than just free speech. They’ve also done very important work in defending the rights of the accused, for example.

What they never were, until the organization was stolen, was a generic left of center organization that advocated whatever happened to be popular among that sector of society regardless of whether or not it had anything to do with civil liberties, or indeed were outright opposed.

There’s always been ideologues that thought that anything and everything else should give way before their moral certainty about everything. It just unfortunate that they’ve destroyed an institution that stood up for specific meta-principles.

I agree, they should.

Labor market shortages due to short term government incentives are going to lead to long term capital investments that automate manufacturing and service work happening sooner rather than later.

That was going to happen in a decade or two regardless. But if there's been one common thread in the insane policies of the last year, it's accelerationism. People will be caught in between without the skills to navigate it.
I don't see why that would be a dilemma for the civil-liberties-as-a-principle group. One can support the legal rights of both parties with opposing views. For example historically, the ACLU has defended both the NRA and the victims of policies that were funded by the NRA.

No one is lauding him as a saint. It's an objection to likening the murder of Cicero to censorship by the state.

Cicero was killed because Antony had a personal vendetta against Cicero. Antony's political partner, Octavian, had a good relationship with Cicero and even looked on him as a father figure. Giving him up to Antony was a compromise he was very unhappy to make (but Antony was not flexible on this demand).

Cicero, if anything, is an example of how one can be loud and open with their thoughts and actually get along well with political leaders (and he got on well with Caesar as well, supposedly). His murder is primarily indicative of Antony's pride.
> ... so which task is the final step to reach singularity?

From Vinge's essay where I first heard of the term:
I. J. Good2 wrote: "Let an ultraintelligent machine be defined as a machine that can far surpass all the intellectual activities of any man however clever. Since the design of machines is one of these intellectual activities, an ultraintelligent machine could design even better machines; there would then unquestionably be an "intelligence explosion," and the intelligence of man would be left far behind. Thus the first ultraintelligent machine is the last invention that man need ever make, provided that the machine is docile enough to tell us how to keep it under control. . . . It is more probable than not that, within the twentieth century, an ultraintelligent machine will be built and that it will be the last invention that man need make."

So the final step is an AI that can generate other AIs of greater capacity in terms of compute/time, computer/$, utility/$, etc.
