How would you see anything to suggest abuse will be rampant before the abuse is even viable?

There have already been people I would describe as attempting to abuse[1] the nascent systems that do exist.

> The government requires you to do so by law, because they don't want landlords doing it themselves.

Exactly. The issue is not merely that the government is no longer carrying out evictions for landlords. Leaving landlords to hire their own security teams and evict squatters at their own expense would be fine. What the government is doing, though, is employing force to actively prevent landlords from evicting squatters, which makes the government an accessory to the crime.
Right, wearing an Apple Watch + AirPods is the modern iPod experience to me. I can leave my house without a smartphone and take a stroll or bike ride or skateboard etc with music. The Apple Watch crown provides that tactile feel missing from smartphones. I like how easy it is to turn up the volume by quickly rotating the crown up or down.
This seems very interesting, however instinctively I would have thought otherwise, meaning a society would tend towards the most rewarding, to the extreme of resulting in a non viable civilization. If you can change at will, why pick up the losing side?

As much as I would like it to be different, I wouldn't trust the human race with this capability.

It wouldn't work if we didn't subject ourselves to it. The "ruling class" may be working to control us, but they don't have to work very hard. They don't even make the lies plausible. There are an awful lot of people willing to die on the hill of the most astonishing idiocies, just because it's their idiocy.
Signal on the Librem 5/PinePhone is already usable through one client (Axolotl), with possibly more clients on the way – the Signal devs still don’t publicly endorse third-party clients, but they have softened their stance and even quietly helped some other projects. So, a working Anbox isn’t seen as a must-have for Signal.

Abolishing taxes on movable private property, in favor of a tax on land ownership, would solve this.

No one would be persecuted internationally because they refused to surrender their privacy and property in filing an income tax return and fulfilling the payment obligations imposed on them, respectively. To enforce a land tax is straightforward: you don't pay the tax, you are evicted from the land, and lose your rights over it. Who owns what land is also always known, by virtue of the fact that registry of a land title with the government is a prerequisite of owning land.

Economists also consider it "the perfect tax":

IMO, VHDL and Verilog are both outstandingly terrible. There are tons of good options that compile from another language to VHDL/Verilog, such as Clash, Chisel, and nmigen. I cannot recommend strongly enough to use any of those over VHDL or Verilog.

My personal favorite is Clash - it’s unusual in that it actually compiles the host language (a subset of Haskell) into VHDL/Verilog, rather than simply providing a library which you can use to create circuit objects. This means you can compile your hardware and run it like a normal program, or include it as a library, or whatever. Very nice for testing. You can also use arbitrary libraries as long as you don’t use anything that falls outside the compilable subset.
> Where we seem to disagree is on the question of whether government, employers or other institutional powers have the power to silence those who don't see it our way

Isn't it the default case that employers can set rules about how employees speak to each other? Do you see anything wrong with an employer saying "you must make a good-faith effort to call people by their preferred name and pronouns"?
The comment stated:

What you're suggesting is something simple. What the parent was suggesting was 1% of the population multiplied by $40k+ in surgeries and drugs leading up to $120million for funding people transitioning meanwhile telling lower class people who work at crappy general labor jobs "yeah just pull yourself up by your bootstraps."

Universally we can agree, helping all of the working class helps out all minorities seeing as most minorities are...working class.

From source code of preferred ftp/http client, maybe this is helpful. Also suggest reading source code for djb's ftp server.

Parse URL of form (per RFC 3986):
<type>://[<user>[:<password>]@]<host>[:<port>][/<path>]

XXX: this is not totally RFC 3986 compliant; <path> will have the
leading `/' unless it's an ftp:// URL, as this makes things easier
for file:// and http:// URLs. ftp:// URLs have the `/' between the
host and the URL-path removed, but any additional leading slashes
in the URL-path are retained (because they imply that we should
later do "CWD" with a null argument).

Examples:
input URL output path
--------- -----------
"http://host" "/"
"http://host/" "/"
"http://host/path" "/path"
"file://host/dir/file" "dir/file"
"ftp://host" ""
"ftp://host/" ""
"ftp://host//" "/"
"ftp://host/dir/file" "dir/file"
"ftp://host//dir/file" "/dir/file"

If we are dealing with a classic `[user@]host:[path]'
(urltype is CLASSIC_URL_T) then we have a raw directory
name (not encoded in any way) and we can change
directories in one step.

If we are dealing with an `ftp://host/path' URL
(urltype is FTP_URL_T), then RFC 3986 says we need to
send a separate CWD command for each unescaped "/"
in the path, and we have to interpret %hex escaping
*after* we find the slashes. It's possible to get
empty components here, (from multiple adjacent
slashes in the path) and RFC 3986 says that we should
still do `CWD ' (with a null argument) in such cases.

Many ftp servers don't support `CWD ', so if there's an
error performing that command, bail out with a descriptive
message.

Examples:

host: dir="", urltype=CLASSIC_URL_T
logged in (to default directory)
host:file dir=NULL, urltype=CLASSIC_URL_T
"RETR file"
host:dir/ dir="dir", urltype=CLASSIC_URL_T
"CWD dir", logged in
ftp://host/ dir="", urltype=FTP_URL_T
logged in (to default directory)
ftp://host/dir/ dir="dir", urltype=FTP_URL_T
"CWD dir", logged in
ftp://host/file dir=NULL, urltype=FTP_URL_T
"RETR file"
ftp://host//file dir="", urltype=FTP_URL_T
"CWD ", "RETR file"
host:/file dir="/", urltype=CLASSIC_URL_T
"CWD /", "RETR file"
ftp://host///file dir="/", urltype=FTP_URL_T
"CWD ", "CWD ", "RETR file"
ftp://host/%2F/file dir="%2F", urltype=FTP_URL_T
"CWD /", "RETR file"
ftp://host/foo/file dir="foo", urltype=FTP_URL_T
"CWD foo", "RETR file"
ftp://host/foo/bar/file dir="foo/bar"
"CWD foo", "CWD bar", "RETR file"
ftp://host//foo/bar/file dir="/foo/bar"
"CWD ", "CWD foo", "CWD bar", "RETR file"
ftp://host/foo//bar/file dir="foo//bar"
"CWD foo", "CWD ", "CWD bar", "RETR file"
ftp://host/%2F/foo/bar/file dir="%2F/foo/bar"
"CWD /", "CWD foo", "CWD bar", "RETR file"
ftp://host/%2Ffoo/bar/file dir="%2Ffoo/bar"
"CWD /foo", "CWD bar", "RETR file"
ftp://host/%2Ffoo%2Fbar/file dir="%2Ffoo%2Fbar"
"CWD /foo/bar", "RETR file"
ftp://host/%2Ffoo%2Fbar%2Ffile dir=NULL
"RETR /foo/bar/file"

Note that we don't need `dir' after this point.

The `CWD ' command (without a directory), which is required by
RFC 3986 to support the empty directory in the URL pathname (`//'),
conflicts with the server's conformance to RFC 959.

Please note that that's an opinion article, not an academic source.

It's borderline misleading to say that mastectomies "happen", and then link it with an unrelated number for diagnoses of gender dysphoria.

It's also misleading to represent the growth of a tiny number relatively. A few dozen cases grew to a few hundred. That's completely normal and what happens with any novel diagnosis that was barely accepted even just 10 years ago.
> you don’t like the data because it doesn’t fit your narrative

In counter argument, you don’t like the laws of logic and probability because they don’t fit your narrative.

Edit: Furthermore, do we not agree, in the United States, under the rule of law, that it is a failure of civil responsibility, punishable by death in some jurisdictions, to murder even 1 person, let alone 44?

How is your argument anything other than we must do everything within our rights and capacity, as a country, to prevent each and every failure of civic responsibility?

> Even being as charitable as I can, it just seems that you don't like the data because it doesn't fit your narrative.

And you seem to like the data because it does. You are right, I don't trust reported numbers of trans people hate crimes, because I'm not aware of any unified reporting standards around trans hate crimes (in general I don't trust reported numbers on newly reported hate crimes, especially when advocacy groups are doing most of the reporting; it means the issue is poorly understood (so badly reported) and highly politicized). I have a pretty large prior here that I believe trans hate crimes are underreported, much like I have a prior that sexual violence is underreported, due to the nature of these instances. Moreover, numbers this low have large uncertainty bands, just using basic frequentist or Bayesian probability methods, enough that I doubt we can even come to much of a conclusion over our topic of discussion. I think we'll have to agree to disagree, and please stop downvoting me. I felt like our discussion was productive.
Thank you, that was very nicely said.

It's distressing the degree to which people want to blame others for their identities while regarding their own as some kind of fundamental default of nature. It's only "identity politics" when it's somebody else's identity.

That's perhaps because so many of them, are like virtually all of yours, persisting in pushing "he was killed by the government!" based, as far as I can tell, solely on him saying "I would never commit suicide so if it looks like I did, the government must have done it." Why are we all dismissing that, right? We're dismissing it because we're looking at McAfee's history. The man loved to make grand, conspiratorial statements with absolutely nothing to back them up. Take a walk through his Wikipedia page, and don't go "pfft, Wikipedia" -- I'm talking about the parts with extensive supporting links here. In a very real way, McAfee loved being a troll. No judgement on him (at least for that), but I honestly don't see how anyone can deny it was a huge facet of his later life.

I don't doubt that at the time he said he wouldn't commit suicide, he meant it, but based on other tweets quoted among these comments, he was very clearly in a state of depression brought on by his incarceration -- and, for god's sake, he'd spent most of the last decade as a fugitive. This is a man who went to extreme lengths to avoid being in prison. So when you keep asking, over and over, "What makes you think he would possibly commit suicide to avoid spending the rest of his life in prison," the answer is "literally everything the man had been doing before he was caught."
Unless you are very sure that McAfee was "clearly unhinged individual", it is a strong statement and ad hominem. Doesn't help add to the discussion than mere gossip.
>The head of Cal Fire, Chief Thom Porter, did grant an interview. He acknowledged the figures cited by Newsom were incorrect and took responsibility for the governor’s misstatements. Porter, who stood behind Newsom at a series of press conferences where the governor boasted of his accomplishments, said Cal Fire had neither “done our job in educating the public, nor the governor’s office” about how to talk about its wildfire prevention efforts.

So Newsom should've walked every acre to verify the figures for himself ?

Then there's the part where funding was cut because of anticipated economic disaster from COVID.

But,

>By late 2020, it became clear the pandemic would not have a disastrous impact on state revenues. On the contrary, Newsom said the state had a nearly $76 billion surplus.

>Now, Newsom is proposing $2 billion in spending on wildfires and emergency preparedness, with $1.2 billion going toward ‘wildfire resiliency.’ The state Legislature’s version of the budget allocates over $1.5 billion for a “wildfire prevention and forest resilience package.”

I'm not a great fan of Newsom or anything, but it's exhausting the amount of bad-faith clickbait that passes for news these days.

I have not worked as a janitor but I have done menial work far worse than mopping a floor for assured hourly rate.

Being poor sucks everywhere but it sucks less in USA.

My claim is not that being janitor is some kind of gold standard or aspiration in USA. My point is that even such a very low skilled job is good enough to help you survive. You will probably suffer a lot but yet it is way way better than being completely jobless on streets.

Janitor is also not a job for life, it is mostly a stepping stone for something bigger and a lot A LOT of americans do this every single year. Something you will rarely see outside of USA.
I'm still a bit bummed the Neo900 never happened.

I came across a Wired article on McAfee from 2012 describing his life in Belize, and it's quite a story. Starting an antibiotic lab, hiring armed guards with automatic weapons, trying to clean up drug crime in a small town, sleeping with 17-year-olds (one of which tried to kill him), pointing a loaded gun to his own head, getting raided by the police and jailed, lots of paranoia, and that's just the highlights. It's worth a read.

Following on nemo44x's response, we also don't really have much written evidence to the contrary.

In fact, if you have people who will believe you (either becuase of who you are or who your target is), and a beef against someone, and see a confluence of circumstances likely to lead to a place where suicide is your only way out, why wouldn’t you set them up to take the blame if it got to that point (especially if you blamed them for the situation driving in that direction, so you might feel that it was a lie in only peripheral details, but not grand narrative.)

This reads like a hit piece.

There was a pandemic. Rightly or wrongly, basically everything slowed to a halt. If you look carefully at the timeline, there was a pandemic slowdown, activity resumed when it was clear finances weren’t actually in peril as predicted, and the state got back on track.

Regardless, everyone is quick to point fingers about these fires, but the fact of the matter is people are putting houses in high risk areas on the wildland-urban interface. The state can’t realistically be expected to prevent that, and shouldn’t be using politics (e.g. preventing insurers from dropping risky clients) to encourage it.

> Or is it that it isn't a problem of PS1 but a problem of games

Yes, this is what I wanted to emphasize.

My intent wasn't to say that the 'lack of z-buffering' statement was incorrect (it's still true), but that there's a fundamental issue behind it, the visible/hidden surface determination, and now it depends on the developer's implementation. I believe this is overlooked on non-technical sites.

With this, I just wanted to make it more informative for the reader. I don't think the question is if the PS1 has a z-buffer or not. Sure, z-buffering is a solution, but there's the reasoning behind it that I wanted to transmit it to the reader.

Anyway, that's just my opinion.
Gavin Newsom is foremost an ambitious and adaptable politician.

His ambitions in politics are very clear and longstanding. Mayor of SF, then an attempt at governor and when that was thwarted, biding his time as Lieutenant Governor. Now it is governor. His next step is clear, which is the Presidency.

His use of connections to obtain power and to broker power is also longstanding. He didn't grow up in wealth but used his connections with Getty to get wealthy. Getty funded his Plump Jack businesses. Getty gave him an interest free loan to buy his first house. That his maskless dinner happened with lobbyists from the California doctor's association is a continuation of this pattern.

He gauges political winds well and aligns himself so that it is a tailwind. In his first mayor's race, he ended up in a runoff with a far more progressive candidate. He shifted his political positions to be far more progressive while still obtaining the support of the business elite. He won by a landslide.

The last few years, he has aligned himself with the latest progressive movement. He isn't doing it out of the goodness of his heart or out of principle. He just gauged which way the political winds were blowing and aligned himself to be buoyed by them.

His administration of the state is only as good as it helps further his political ambitions. Once attention shifts away from a topic, expect his attention to shift away from it as well. Don't expect long term planning nor long term execution.

If you look at his administration of SF, what you see is basically muddling along with nothing much accomplished. I expect the same exact thing in California as a whole.
EU chief vows action, says ‘shame’ on Hungary for LGBT law
> Interestingly enough, there's not much animosity toward trans-men.

While it's true there's little animosity directed at them, there is a lot of stuff Shrier's view that "gender ideology" is seducing lesbian women into thinking they're not actually women. Which, honestly, as someone who lived through lots of the dumb gay panic in the 80s and 90s sounds exactly like what people thought about homosexuals (eg: gay people can seduce/recruit straight people and turn them gay). So trans men get treated like dupes or victims of some social phenomena, rather than treated like actual human beings with agency of their own.

In fact, pretty much every anti-trans viewpoint I see, even from otherwise highbrow publicans like the Economist, are really just rehashes of what we heard about gays in the 80s and 90s, before we realized they were, in fact, not a threat to society.
