Do you realize how easy it is to deconstruct the definitions you rely on?

What does it mean "created from your own labor" for example? We apply labor to existing things and we transform them as a continuous process. We don't manifest them in one step out of vacuum. So "create with labor" is a fuzzy concept at best. You don't create anything. At what precise point does this property that "belongs to all" become your property? You draw sharp divide between those two categories, so surely there's a sharp divide in terms of time and action that causes said property to shift those categories.

I see a wild tree, I cut it off. Is it mine now? Not yet, so I chop it up, is it mine? No? So I take a chunk and make it into an owl figure. Which precise stroke of my instruments turned this tree from shared property into my own property? Or am I being given imaginary shares of this property as I work on it, so it's 10% mine, then 11% mine, then 15% mine...

The rest of these definitions are similarly meaningless if you explore them at depth.

It doesn't mean that as a system they're bad. As long as you have objective proof they work in reality (not just in our imagination). But you need to realize in terms of "correctness" they're arbitrary. In fact, there's no such thing as objective ethics. So to declare things are ethical or unethical in a universal way is non-sequitur.

A concept is only as useful as how applicable it is for achieving certain goals. If it's just a self-referencing system that feels good, but no one has realized it, or even worse, many have tried and keep failing at it... then you have nothing.

> Kenneth Arrow is famous for his impossibility theorem, but he also rejected cardinal systems out of hand, because you can't honestly judge the strength of your own preferences compared to other voters. He argued (pretty well, I thought) that the extra information in cardinal systems was useless.

Indeed, that is a strong argument in favor of approval voting; if everybody votes strategically under score voting it reduces to approval voting, so why bother with the extra complexity of score voting? FWIW, I recall Arrow himself said in some interview that his personal favorite was approval voting.

Secondly, I'm not sure I understand the point about strength of preferences. Since everybody has the same range from within to assign preferences, it's all about the relative preferences among the candidates. Doesn't matter if I hate candidate X with the heat of a thousand suns, I can't give that candidate a score of -1000, only the minimum, just like everybody else.

It was at a small accredited school which offered associate degrees in court reporting (also degrees in a handful of other subjects such as accounting). I had to complete a few other courses not strictly related to stenography, but the degree itself was an associates degree in court reporting.
But my point is this: your argument is that vaccines work to stop transmission with 100% reliability but not infection. You aren't stating that explicitly but it's the only belief that is consistent with what you're proposing.

1. If vaccines stop infection, then you don't need to care if other people are sick or not.

2. Therefore you argue that because they might not be 100% effective at that, everyone should act as if they aren't effective at all, and ban unvaccinated people from things.

3. But what if the vaccine isn't 100% effective at blocking transmission either? Then a vaccinated person might be both sick and infectious. In which case as they'd be dangerous to other vaccinated people, they should also be banned, which means everyone is banned.

Therefore by contradiction you must believe it's possible that they block transmission 100% but not infection. This makes no biological sense and isn't supported by robust science. In fact even asymptomatic transmission as a concept isn't supported by robust science - actual contact tracing attempts to find this keep drawing blanks. The belief it must be common comes from attempts to make models work mathematically, but those models are so filled with basic errors nothing about them is useful.

C/C++ is used over Ada just for familiar syntax. From a safety perspective, the choice of language is inconsequential. With C/C++ the code analyzers used must do more work than with Ada but not that much.

All safety-critical code uses just a tiny subset of the language. It's like programming in a different language. Line-by-line coder reviews are a must.
This is different though. This is from wikipedia, and aims at structuring data that is used in wikipedia. I am guessing this is because if something changes in the world, then in wikipedia, the information needs to be changed in all articles (all languages, all connex articles etc.). This would add a level of indirection for facts.

You do not say 'no', you propose ways to make it happen the best you can considering what you've already been asked to work on. If there is no good way then there is a management/project decision to be made (not by you).

This is the exact problem. If developers can't say no then, on occasions where management or product aren't willing to compromise and do insist that a feature is added beyond the team's capacity, then the developers either have to work past healthy hours or they have to resign.

That is not a reasonable point of view. Developers should not be in a position where they have to choose between overworking or leaving.

Good companies accept and value everyone's input, including the developers, and trust them when they say there's a good reason not to build it. Building good software is a collaboration between everyone on the team. Management and product should not be in a position where they can demand things from developers who have to just accept what they're told. That is very unhealthy and leads directly to people burning out. This is why it's important to be able to say no.
Still autochtonous (more or less) species. Old world birds evolved with them for thousands years and somehow they will not have problems to survive.

We know to do more research about the cat effect on that fauna instead to just repeat one preliminary study.

We need to know for example, if there is a percentage of those migrant birds allegedly chased by cats in US that just crashed against a window or were stunded by pesticides. The problem in that case is not the cat, is the glass pane, or the absence of trees.

...............

Second point. Some scientists hypothesize that Toxoplasmosis remain in the body alive for years and is a chronic disease. We should however take in mind that this is not the main current of thinking.

We know that parasites don't survive usually when end in the wrong host because immune response works "like this" and "like that" and because the temperature, organ structure or life cycle of the true host, matter for the parasite survival.

I can't see why Toxoplasma should behave different that the other ten thousands of cases, or why the immune system should make an excepcion here.

This, in my opinion, is why we can't have nice things. Calling for the death of any living thing that we disagree with isn't okay. And trapping an animal indoors where it can't exercise its natural tendencies is also a non-solution.

I completely understand the want and need to protect your property from intruders, animal or human. But calling for the death of any and all animals that enter your property is borderline psychopathic IMO.

There are humane ways to deter animals from entering your property. Something as simple as spraying a cat with water will deter it effectively - no need to murder it. Other options include putting down plastic spikes (that don't cause injury) on garden fences, growing certain plants which cats dislike the smell of, or even sprays that cats dislike.

And for future reference; if your neighbours cats are pooping in your garden beds, keep the surface of the soil moist. Cats (generally) won't dig in wet soil, and will instead find somewhere else to go. And your plants will appreciate the extra water.
There absolutely is: being born a man gives you some physical advantages that are not just linked to testosterone.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40279-020-01389-3

Longitudinal studies examining the effects of testosterone suppression on muscle mass and strength in transgender women consistently show very modest changes, where the loss of lean body mass, muscle area and strength typically amounts to approximately 5% after 12 months of treatment. Thus, the muscular advantage enjoyed by transgender women is only minimally reduced when testosterone is suppressed.

Additionally, women are naturally less muscilar than men.We're talking 50% less fiber surface, 30% less muscles in total, and even a difference in the type of fibers: significantly fewer type 2 fibers, which are the ones that give your muscles explosiveness. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00235103
It is true that MLPs are classic, but the regularizaton methods that apparently make a big empirical difference at this paper are new concepts (data augmentation, skip connections/residual blocks, dropout, batch norm, lookahead, stochastic weight averaging, etc.). They compare againts a good old MLP without the bells and whistles at Table 2 and the classic MLP is quite a poor performer (XGBoost beats a classical MLP very significantly). Which leads to the conclusion that we need all these recent deep learning advances on innovative regularization techniques to make the difference.

There are so many incommensurables in your argument.

Should they have spent the money on trucks or information?

Did Enigma do anything or did it merely prevent losses?

Should they have invested in spies or computers?

There is another possibility…was enigma merely a front to mask the real source of the information—-some human source? Initially its value could have been as a “check” on the intelligence coming in from a German source. The fact that it led to the development of computing must be entirely due to Alan Turing’s influence.

But you have probably noticed that close to nobody pronounces debian correctly (deb-ian, like the names), or gif (whichever is right), or PNG (ping), or the people pronouncing dogecoin as dog-e-coin, etc.

Confusion about how to pronounce something is extremely common, due to most open source communication happening in written form, and English being a weird language where pronunciation and spelling seem mostly unrelated to each other.
If Satoshi spent it on mining equipment, they would have to pay for electricity. And the profits of mining are never again going to be above 6.25 Bitcoins every 10 minutes (and that's assuming ownership of 100% of all ASIC miners in existence); it wouldn't make any financial sense for Satoshi to spend all their Bitcoins on ASIC miners because they'd end up increasing the mining difficulty and drive up their own operational costs. Controlling more than 50% of miners doesn't make any financial sense.

And no, it's not possible to change the rules at any point because there is a large network of exchanges and hundreds of thousands of machines running software which are integrated with and depend on Bitcoin's code not changing. If a small group tried to change Bitcoin's code on their nodes without more than 50% community consensus (and giving them time to update all the hundreds of thousands of machines running the old software), they would fork from the main network and their tokens on that fork would be worthless.
Great post. One day someone will do Bitcoin from scratch in Scratch

If you are as comfortable as your peers, then you are not at a disadvantage when competing for mates, and neither are your own offspring, so yeah, it's a big deal. We have evolved with the understanding that we need to compete with peers in order to be able to pass our genes on. We are not competing against trees or even our former selves, just against peers.

> Vanbellinghen is asserting that Hubbard should not compete as a woman. Hubbard identifies as a woman.

Not quite. Vanbellinghen is asserting that Hubbard should not compete in the women's league. That is different from asserting she should not compete as a woman. She then continues to argue this is not because her identity is not female, but because of biological reasons.

This is coherent because the point of a Women's league (in weight-lifting at least) isn't to segregate women from men, but to give women a place to compete without being crippled by biologically determined dis-advantages.

Things get complicated because the reason for a Women's league existing, and the actual written rules around it do not quite line up. It might even be the case that for Hubbard to compete as women means she could not enter the men's league. That would then probably be a moral mistake in the rules.
I think the intended list of 'who would be making those millions' is limited to maybe 5 people (eg: Alex Honnold or Adam Ondra), not the hundreds who call themselves 'pro climbers' (ranging from the top echelon of rock and competition climbers to dirtbags getting a discount on shoes).

> I see no benefits to PWAs

Creator of https://rpgplayground.com here, which features game tech running in the browser, so I definitely disagree with this statement :).

Here is a list of benefits that I see:

1. One build runs everywhere, Windows, Linux, Mac, Chromebook (used a lot in schools), Android, iOS, I even have someone running it on an XBox web browser.

2. No download and install, so barrier to entry is way lower. Also great for locked down systems. "Wanna play my game? Play it here"

3. Everyone runs the latest version.

4. Easy update scheme: I update the website, and everyone gets the latest version.

5. Not giving away % of revenue to platform owners.

I code in Haxe, so I could easily build a native version for any platform. But I am a one man shop, and maintaining all those versions and updates is way more work.

The world is all about trade-offs, and claiming PWA's are either superioir or inferior is a very naive way of decision making.

> Can you point to a real example where you can't distinguish between candidates

With hundreds/thousands(?) of ranked voting elections worldwide, with certainly millions of voters, you're statistically guaranteed to have that situation for some voter somewhere.

> Approval voting would seem to have the same convergence to a two party system as FPTP where you have a chamber composed of multiple members, a mayor or similar role would be different.

Not sure the voting method used for single-winner elections matter that much for the dynamics leading to a duopoly or not. I think convergence to a duopoly is most strongly influenced by winner-take-all districts. The solution to that, as you pointed out, is multi-member districts with proportional representation.

> but I can see the appeal of having a single person represent you

... assuming that 'your' party wins. Otherwise you have no representation at all and you feel disfranchised?

I'd say the major appeal of single-winner districts is that the districts are much smaller, and you have a better chance to get to know your own representative (again, assuming it's somebody you find broadly acceptable).
> The newly obtained court records show that Spears has called into question his fitness for the role.

Terrible writing.
The WHO hasn't changed its views due to "new science", the shifts have all been for political reasons, as was sometimes admitted by their own staff. Additionally this notion that it's ok for "experts" to set policies and claim science as justification then totally change them on a dime largely voids the whole original justification. It implies their original "science" was totally wrong in ways they couldn't detect and thus they presented it with absolute confidence, then they discovered they had badly screwed up but never admitted to it or investigated what went wrong.

In the end, science is respected because it claims to reveal universal truths about nature. If those truths are constantly being announced to be obsolete such that the new truths aren't mere refinements but totally different, what use is science?

As for authoritarianism, preventing people disagreeing with a global authority is a pure example of it, no? YouTube shouldn't even bother trying to figure out the truth here, they aren't able to do so. Just let people thrash it out amongst themselves.

Why aren't governments taking steps to make end-user products more secure?
Obviously some manufacturers do not care too much about making their products secure and the vulnerabilities, if any, are only found by volunteer hackers, it at all.

Most end users cannot take (advanced) protective measures or perform security audits to protect their data, identity, etc.

Wouldn't it therefore be the government's responsibility to issue regulations requiring manufacturers to audit their products against IT security standards?
