Military ships are also allowed "innocent passage". There are a lot of things they aren't allowed to do while on such a passage (e.g. launch planes, leave on certain radars, do weapons drills), and have to go as quickly as possible. Some countries (Romania, Lithuania) have declared that the mere presence of nuclear weapons on ships violates innocent passage in their eyes, and in general adding nuclear propulsion creates more paperwork.

It doesn't matter if that's the case though. The British were explicitly conducting gunnery drills violating a condition of innocent passage. They did it to violate innocent passage. Because the point was to assert that Crimea (and it's surrounding territorial waters) do not belong to Russia and therefore they can do what they want (subject to Ukraine's approval). This is similar to what US warships do near the fake islands built by China in the South China Sea. Constantly objecting prevents annexations from becoming fiat accompli.

The downside is there are often missile locks between the armed forces of two countries, and, since firing on a warship is casus belli, may cause a war between nuclear powers.

Normalization Is Not a Process
That's only partly correct. I have been telling people, including scientists (and not getting any pushback), that there is literally no evidence that could be shown to absolutely disprove that the outbreak was due to a lab leak.

The media sort of picked up on some scientists messaging that the lab leak hypothesis was "impossible" and turned it into a conspiracy theory. That's on the media and the limited number of irresonspible scientists who 'insist' they are correct when they don't have the data to support it.

Finally, all the things you listed are just absurd, they don't have evidence, and go from a simple scientific possibility "the virus was purposely leaked" to basically implicating the Chinese government in some massive secret bioweapons real-time exercise. Which itself is not impossible, but high improbable, based on the data and a good understanding of modern war and politics.
Roughly competitive doesn't cut it when the competition itself is designed to find out and honor the outliers. If top 3 men in archery has consistently higher scores than the top 3 women, pitting them against each other would mean women not getting any medals anymore.

So unless you have hard statistics to back up these claims or are an expert in one of these fields, I would go with the experts' decision to sex segregate their leagues because they might know a few things or two we won't necessarily consider.

Just from my amateur interest; for outdoors archery, the draw strength matters a lot for accuracy, in curling likewise drive and sweeping strength make a difference.
None of these qualify as "industry" being mostly tertiary.
Maybe it has to do with lack of police force? So no-nonesense solution is to avoid them wasting time for useless stuff?

Many useless things such as the war on drugs, alcohol and prostitution are done (in my opinion) to give the millions of cops around the world a sense of purpose and avoid a particular demographic which is prone to aggression (young males) to have a lack of purpose which will inevitably cause social tensions
Breaks in much faster (ie becomes understable) which can be a good with lower arm speeds.

The big thing with disc golf, is that you want a consistent flight with whatever you are throwing. If a disc starts to become unpredictable (often times very understable) then it usually gets rotated out, or kept in for specific use cases (big turnovers, rollers, etc).

Some advice I got which I used to build mechanics/power was to not throw any fast (high speed) driver until I could throw a putter ~250 feet consistently. The one exception to this rule is if your local course has a big dog leg (and a short hole) and you need something that really moves that direction quickly.
I switched to simple analytics a few months ago.

Comparing numerically, the revenue generated from ($21.8b) WhatsApp is higher than from Boston Dynamics ($880M).

For 2020 WhatsApp approximately == $5.5b (Forbes https://www.businessofapps.com/data/whatsapp-statistics/)

Also used sporting good stores will often have a large selection of used discs which can be an even cheaper way to get in to the game (and makes you feel less bad when you throw it in a river).

They will usually also carry some of the factory defect discs which are cheaper. And the defects are usually small or printing defects that would not be noticed when throwing.
How about those at the margin? I'd guess most policy proposals don't seem productive when you condense a population down to a scalar "model" subject and ask if he would change his behavior in light of the new policy. That doesn't mean that population-level effects won't be observed.

Tangential to the balance of luck and work needed for success, whether genetics/... counts as luck or "self-" in self-made, etc.

1) Belief in luck and futility of hard work is a useless, in fact harmful belief. I can say this from personal experience of changing beliefs based on nothing more than buying into American self-help gospel for a short time. Even though in Russia, it was/is probably more likely for a rich person to be a crook, believing that hard work is therefore useless is one certain way to go nowhere. I'm happy I was actually deluded the other way ("it's only hard work") for a short time; it paid off immensely.

2) Overall (related), the developing "resentment zeitgeist" around this reminds me of the Soviet joke where the devil is giving a new hire a tour of hell. First, they come upon a pit of fire with bunch of people in it, and a burly demon nearby. "These are Americans", says the devil, "every once in a while one would try to escape; the demon would then shove him back in"... then they come upon a similar pit, with a whole squad of demons "these are [let's say] Swedes; when one of them tries to get out, all the others would try to help him, so we need a whole squad here" ... finally they come upon a pit with a frail, elderly demon napping on a chair nearby. "What about this one?" asks the new guy. "Oh, these are Soviets. Every once in a while, one of them would try to get out, but then the others would just drag him back in."
Federal civil courts aren't a small claims court. The rules aren't easily understood and are full of pitfalls that trip up even experienced litigators. Your answer to a complaint needs to address every single allegation AND raise all affirmative defenses--or they could be waived.

You are pretty likely to foot fault and end up just putting yourself in a worse negotiating position.

Trolls already have pre-made complaints, discovery requests, etc. already lined up. You'll have to work a long time to do what they can in a couple hours.
Sorry, education is very important. But more important is who you know ... however that came to be. Might be family, chance, lucky, fortune. But it's true. I hate that it's true, but it is true. Hence, education is not the great equalizer, it is the mildly helpful stabiliser.

Don't believe me? Look around ... many good examples of educated people making it, but many more people of educated people who knew "someone" making it. Worse, many uneducated people matching or exceeding that performance.

~~If you watch any interviews with sex workers it's clear that they view it as a job, not as a pleasure act. Many porn stars for instance have boyfriends/husbands and note that sex with them is different then their day job sex.~~

That is a BS argument. Sexual frustration is the norm, rather than the exception, and if somebody commits a rape to act out sexual desires, then it is not because he didn't have access to prostitutes. I doubt there are a lot of people who frequent prostitutes as much as most couples have sex in a relationship...

However, honestly "voluntary" prostitution is also too expensive. Which is a big reason for the famed "management level" to exist. Through drugs, physical and psychological abuse they create a much cheaper supply, and only that way the demand can be met.
You are not arguing in good faith and it's becoming clearer that you have a background agenda to promote conspiracy theories with a lack of evidence (nobody but epidemiologists 5 years from now can say anything useful about Sweden vs. other places).
It's surprising how few rules are required for very complex emergent behavior. In the early 2000's I wrote a simulation of autonomous "agents" following a Brooks subsumption architecture. The individual bots had, IIRC, about 4 rules and the goal was to get them to collectively push a load off the screen. There were 90 agents and after starting the system, they would typically accomplish that goal in less than a minute.

I wish I'd had the funding to actually build the physical agents since that would have been far more eye opening -- would be a lot cheaper to do it these days with the availability of cheap arduino clones, etc. -- but it still made for a cool class project.

Circa 1998 I dialed a random sample of toll-free numbers in the US and found that 20% of them were numeric pagers. So you could write a script that does something like

Americans glorify hard work while undervaluing efficiency.

For example, I often hear fellow Americans brag about how many hours they put in or how intense their work is. This is true all the way from the blue collar trades to the most white collar (management consultants are notorious for this).

In reality, it's better to use fewer hours to accomplish the same goal. There is no inherent value in applying more time to something.

The truth is the SW architect, the CEO of many corporations, etc are more efficient than the lowest level workers. I know this is not popular, and it makes many uncomfortable, but it is undeniably true. This is because both the SW architect and the CEO and the management consultant and the operations manager, etc, are all into automation, which is an efficiency increasing process.

This is not just automation in terms of building robots (which maybe a SW architect is involved with), but also automation in terms of making the lowest level workers replaceable by developing corporate policy, procedures, etc. The CEO provides the service of automating investment returns to his/her company's shareholders.

In this light, it is obvious why certain professions earn more. They are way more efficient with their time.

> I’m somehow worth 20-40x what someone at an Amazon warehouse is.

Because your work is quite a bit more efficient. I mean, like many here, I write software for a living. Once my software component works, it works. It will work forever with minimal maintenance once it stabilizes, and will provide the company with many many years of value, even if I and my team were to drop dead. In other words, we are automators. The automators are always going to do better.

Anyway, going back to the lazy/hard-working dichotomy. These terms are used with unnecessary moralistic overtones. There is nothing wrong with working two hours a day, and there is nothing inherently good about working 14 hours. We need to stop acting as if those who work more have some inherent virtue. This leads to all sorts of social pathologies such as the toxic version of the bootstrap mentality.
Screaming might not be enough...
This poem is so beautiful, thank you. I will study it.
You can't even trust that it's your phone; it wouldn't be that hard in many cases to provide an identical-looking device that just records the entered PIN. It won't hold up to inspection once unlocked, but it doesn't have to; once you've provided the PIN, you've lost.

If the device has left your possession, don't accept it back or interact with it. Get a new device, and restore it from backup.

Also, if you fill out the emergency contacts in your phone, you can call those contacts without unlocking your phone.

This has been one of the least informed comments I have read recently - most of the things you are attributing to democrats are were actually republicans.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Environmental_Pr...
President Richard Nixon proposed the establishment of EPA on July 9, 1970

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affordable_Care_Act#Legislativ...
The ACA was championed by republicans until it became a political talking piece.

The concept of an individual mandate goes back to at least 1989, when The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank, proposed an individual mandate as an alternative to single-payer health care.[121][122] It was championed for a time by conservative economists and Republican senators as a market-based approach to healthcare reform on the basis of individual responsibility and avoidance of free rider problems. Specifically, because the 1986 Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) requires any hospital participating in Medicare (nearly all do) to provide emergency care to anyone who needs it, the government often indirectly bore the cost of those without the ability to pay.[123][124][125]

And to the rest of your comment - paying in taxes and getting universal benefits benefit society as a whole, not just the poor.

I think it was finland that got rid of private schools, and all of aa sudden schools got WAY better , for everyone.

Insulating people with wealth from everyone else is an overt societal negative. People are their experiences, and if you go through life without meeting people with different experiences than you, you grow up in a bubble.

Having everyone be able to enjoy life and not having a govt bought off that laser focuses on making a small class of people even richer is their goal, not solidarity with a certain class.

> If woman were able to travel to another country (say, USA) and do short-term entertainment work for a few months on her own terms, you will reduce human trafficking.

I don't think this would be the case. Organized crime isn't black/white. They'd simply create a system of room rentals in love hotels or something and take the vig while corrupting prostitute unions (thereby allowing trafficking) or something similar. The mafia is quite famous for the tactic and I wouldn't be surprised if other more modern organized crime families have an even more lucrative business.
My understanding is that the troll would love to take it to court and keep it there until you can't afford to fight anymore.
Why do you "maybe" think the state should penalize individuals for consensually paying for sex? And isn't it an indefensible hypocrisy to allow sex to be sold but not to be bought? That situation is basically a state-mandated black market.
> This program is about compensating landlords who were forced to provide housing for free, much like how hospitals get compensated to provide medical care to people who can't pay. I see no complaints about the latter,

Un, that’s an uncompensated condition of Medicare participation, and there are lots of complaints from hospitals about the lack of compensation, and from small government types about the mandate and its affect on costs for those who can pay, and even the existence of “socialist” Medicare in the first place.

From the Readme, Nimpy is a language integration tool that lets you call Python from Nim. It also links to Nimporter which allows you to import Nim code as a Python package.

What I'm describing would be the inverse of Nimporter, allowing you to import Python code as a Nim library (without making Python calls). That way, you get the performance of Nim but the years of Python package development. "Transpiler" might be a better word?

I've never worked on anything so difficult so I'm really just spitballing. But... wouldn't it be cool? :)
- Team has 5-10 members - Company has 450-700 employees.

- Most important roles are Architect + Manager

- A feature will take months or years from analysis (planning) to backlog to implementation to testing to release.

- Regressions : see testing

- A lot of important knowledge resides in people's head even though we have high internal documentation standards.

- Testing: Manual tests are performed on whole application before yearly release by all team members. Automated ui tests run everyday. We are beginning to use automated unit testing.

- Architecture : We have a very old but flexible internal application structure with a set of tools and an internal language - too long to describe here. Most design occurs in word documents.

I see that there's a lot of mindshare on privacy and "computing trust" these days. There are several approaches that I noticed. One is to not send data to untrusted places (e.g. a server), another is to have a trust chain & hardware enclave (either through SGX / trustzone), and lastly to encrypt data (e2e encryption for transport-only, or homomorphic encryption (slow) / distributed encryption) for doing operations on the data. Currently, verifiable OSS on the server isn't in vogue (in practice or literature), but could be another approach.
