> Everyone would deserve a death sentence in all instances of just about anything.

Now that's hyperbole to Nth degree. That's the slippery-slope fallacy all the way down to the most extreme conclusion.

Let's instead stick to what we know:

1) Many of the rioters had an intent to de facto overthrow the government. They had guns, nooses, there were chat logs, etc. This is not conjecture.

2) Many of the rioters had the resources to do what they intended: they easily outmatched the Capitol Police forces, and backup forces were slow to respond. The physical barriers rioters encountered were not sufficient to the task.

3) What they they lacked was the knowledge of where to go to accomplish their aims. They were too slow to the chambers, and couldn't locate their targets. When they got close, those at the front lacked conviction after seeing their friend justifiably shot.

I'm think it's quite appropriate to consider January 6th a "near miss" for our country as we know it, but given comments like yours and the revisionism happening before our eyes it doesn't quite seem we're out of danger. It is very appropriate to me to punish people for their actions, and sometimes for their intended actions. "Attempted Murder" is a crime for a reason, just because they failed to complete their task doesn't de facto exonerate them of wrong doing!
I like this, as well. Remove access to the justice system. If you aren't participating in society, there is no reason for society to lift a finger to protect you from theft, assault, fraud, deportation, etc. Subject them to the same entry restrictions as anyone else crossing a border into a country.

Sovereign citizens will very quickly discover that participating in society provides them with a lot of value.
She is saying more than that.

She is saying learn to confront discomfort/pain with self-soothing. Once you know how to address the pain associated with being seen as an inexperienced/disabled person, you can confront it in many situations.

Be it in learning from another or from a book.

Distracting emotions are part of you and have to be addressed eventually. Soothing yourself reinforces the motivation for progress and acknowledges obstacles.

"Pursuing X causes pain. It is alright. It is worthwhile. It is unavoidable and I will make due."

It is commonly stated that 'recycling nuclear fuel was banned by Jimmy Carter and remains banned to this day'. While Jimmy Carter did put a moratorium on it in 1977, Regan actually lifted it in '81 [1].

> Putting the onus on plugin writers to rewrite essentially the same functionality is not ideal.

This goes back to my biggest complaint with the vim ecosystem (and emacs has the same problem): no dependency management. Almost every plugin has to be self contained, because if you depend on another plugin, then you need to rely on you users to manually install that plugin.
It's not that simple. Doctors themselves often don't even know which billing codes will be used; coding is done by other office staff. And insurers don't have a single set price list. The patient's out of pocket expense will depend on a medical necessity determination and whether they have reached their annual maximum.
Ok, so first pass gives me a TERRIBLE idea, that would "get the job done". I'm sure you thought of this and dismissed it:

Keep your "overall bounce rate" low, by ALSO sending out extra emails to confirmed email addresses. Like, for every "confirmation" email, also send a "thanks for joining us" email to someone that already confirmed their email.

> It shouldn't do that, and we are taking steps to avoid reciting training data in the output

He's being woefully naive. To put it bluntly, we don't know how to build a neural network that isn't capable of spitting out training data. The techniques he pointed to in other threads are academic experiments, and nobody seems to have a credible explanation for why we should believe that they work.

Engineering needs to own and focus on quality. It's construction that determines quality. It's construction that addresses defects. It's engineering that owns construction.

If engineers aren't owning and focused on quality the business either doesn't really believe there are quality issues or there is a huge alignment issue.
Maybe the area I grew up I was different. Economical depressed areas like much of Appalachia tend to have a good community atmosphere. I wouldn't be surprised if that's just small towns in general though. You look out for yourself, but you help your neighbors. You want something new, like equiptment in the park? Raise the money with fundraisers, find volunteers to build/install/maintain it, etc. These are the people who dont expect things to be handled to them, only for the opportunity for themselves to improve their community.
I wouldn't think it to be exceptionally hard to do: a song is a fairly static piece of audio, with broadly available references. Using that reference to isolate and remove the song from the audio stream might not be easy, but it should be possible.

> I think only Github's lawyers would interpret what GP posted the way you did. Looks like weasel wording to make such an interpretation possible,

So what are you suggesting here, except that Github is attempting a legal sleight-of-hand to hide real infringement?

What are you suggesting here except that Github is (essentially) lying to customers, making them believe something that is substantially untrue?

When I say "building an engine to cynically exploit the IP rights of open source copyright holders for profit", I am talking about a scenario in which they are sweeping legitimate IP concerns under the rug with bad faith legal weaselry and misrepresentation of how the product functions, etc., to chase profit. I do not see how that is substantially different from the implications of your comment, especially in the context of this subthread.

Could you enlighten me as to how your intended meaning substantially differs from my interpretation? If you don't mean to accuse Github of malfeasance, we probably don't have much to discuss.

Mesalazine aka 5-ASA is an medication used to treat ulcerative colitis, crohn's and co. It's molecule is very similar to Aspirin. In fact, mesalazine is basically a localised form of aspirin for the gut. That's the logic I see in my head
I really didn't like that movie, focusing on people who are wholly uninteresting politically; presenting a sort of a "shocked and chagrined" attitude to people being spied on by the government; and treating West Germany as some sort of paradise.

IPFS would buy time, even though the node operator could be subject to copyright infringement claims

FYI, the credit card checkout option allows for using Apple Pay, so I went that route to obfuscate my CC info (and get cash back, because hey, why not).

Another twist: if I pay more in taxes, would the police listen to me more? Can I use the police more to my benefit against those that pay less in taxes?
> Every cent we invest in nuclear research is lost to the immediate solutions.

This would only be true if 100% of GDP was spent on climate solutions. In reality, it's not a zero sum game like this. If some people get excited about nuclear and want to invest while others are excited about wind and solar, then that's great. The more the merrier!
Put a very hard filter around the vocal range of sound, hopefully that would be enough to distort the music so that the algorithms can’t identify it.
This is obviously very different from playing it in a business where the music is used to attract or entertain customers.

It's mind blowing to me that people on Hacker News don't see the absurdity of enforcing copyright law as you are suggesting. This article sums it up well:

https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20071005/094552.shtml

"The repair firm, Kwik-Fit, has a pretty weak response, saying that it's banned personal radios for ten years. Instead, it should be fighting back on the idea that this is a public performance in any way. Otherwise, you get into all sorts of trouble. If you have the windows open in your home and are listening to your legally owned music (or your TV!) and your neighbor can hear it, is that a public performance? What if you live in an apartment building with thin walls? What about when you're driving with the radio on and the windows open? What if you're in your cubicle and the folks in the cubicles around you can hear the music? At which point do we realize how silly this becomes? It's difficult to see how, with a straight face, anyone in the music industry can claim that any of these situations represents harm done to them."

Is that really the world you want? Geez.

No. They don’t own the copyright of the song. That’s why it’s getting tagged by the algorithms.

Maximizing or optimizing your potential would be a big win. This is what education for the poor is about. In an unstimulating environment, children don't grow up to their potential. There is so much to win here, not only for these children and their families, but for the society in general, not only financially but also mentally and socially. People feel better, have better health and have the money to pay for healthcare. Not in the least, it's a win against crime when you have a better alternative.

What is the right term? I think Japan has gone too far, but on the other hand I've also seen what the rich lived in 2000 years ago - I prefer the apartments the poor in the US live in today. (note that I'm excluding poor in other countries and poor that can't get into an apartment for whatever reason - these groups have worse situations than the above)

Even houses built 120 years ago are things I'm not sure I'd want. Since then we have go indoor plumbing and electric. We are fortunate that modern AC is mostly easy to retrofit into the common forced air furnace systems of the past. I've faced the pain of running cat-3 network cables into houses I've lived in (I just missed rg-58), now I question if cat-5 cables are worth replacing. I have no idea what will change about houses next, but I suspect my house of the future will need changes that don't fit well with the house of today.

Android cannot afford being a walled garden like Apple and I don't see them limiting installations. As long as they get users into putting data into Google services, they'll let both OEMs and users customize anything in the platform.

Municipalities do not enjoy the same freedom from responsibility.

Also, federal copyright preemption only covers "equivalent" laws. So, for instance, state "true name and address" laws could still be used.
The logic generalizes fairly well to the problems you have with all collective goods. Unless everyone acts optimally from the goodness of their hearts, which no one does, to shunt the load of producing the collective good, you need coercion, since at that point there is no individual incentive to contribute to a collective good if others are doing so.

This is true for unions and undergrad experiments, as it is for centralized planning states, which unsurprisingly are often oppressive dictatorships. If you want to eliminate the need for coercion (which bears long-running costs onto the state), you need to appeal to individual selfishness, which implies competition. As markets have their own problems, you ultimately need a mixed-economy state, something China has become despite its communist roots, and ditto the USA despite its uber-capitalism.

The economist Mancur Olson goes into this dynamic of collective action for Western states and beyond. He attempts to explain the general case of the rise and fall of efficiency in capitalist nations, as well as the outlier performance of some communist nations (all short-run) despite this model.

Cultural upbringing can make up some of the difference, but only in small scales or when the groups are tight-knit. Even in China, where on the surface Confucian culture totalizes the individual to the collective, there is also a culture of skillful deception and intrigue in Chinese politics that has flourished domestically and abroad in the 21st century.

What insurance do you have where the cost of the annual premium is less than what the out of pocket costs would be for annual checkups for the covered individuals?

I have the cheapest insurance I can get. Yes, it pays for basic preventative care (basically a checkup per person per year), and it also costs more than my mortgage.

> There is no class in college on how to triage your email inbox, manage your agenda, or organize your computer files.

Small nitpick, having to organize your computer files is mostly a consequence of Windows having a terrible and ineffective search. I recently realized that I don't really need to organize stuff in folders on Linux since I use meaningful names when I store files, and search when I retrieve them. On Windows, the search is unusable, and thus I spend a lot of time making a hierarchy of categories with folders, which is a waste of time. To use the kitchen analogy, the first time you use a good search is like the first time you use a good knife. It changes the way you approach things. I eat way more vegetables since now cutting them isn't a pain.

I am convinced that answers like this are directly contributing to the problem. The moment someone gets sucked in to what is a torrent of fear and conspiracy, the people around them turn on them, disown them, call them extremists.

Let me be clear: the conspiracies they’re getting sucked into are dangerous and often bizarre. But if we jump immediately to extremism as the cause, I think we’re missing the bigger story here.

People are scared. They don’t know how to navigate the Internet safely. They don’t know how to filter out bullshit. They start watching carefully crafted videos and well written blog posts that take the truth - twist it hard - and suck them right in to an alternate reality that is easier to understand.

They freak out. They think there is an existential threat working against them. They think their friends have been sucked into the “evil” side of the conspiracy.

It’s tragic, and I wish it was not like this. But often these people - especially family - need love and support, and a nudge in another direction. Will this work? Maybe not. But immediate labeling and then ostracizing these people entrenches their views, and feeds the “extremism”.

And there are real extremists. People who have been looking for an opportunity to act, and the current climate provides it. Let’s not mix Mom’s tendency to believe in conspiracies with real extremism.
I was working for a small department inside of a large company. The large company was migrating databases (it was a 2 year journey), our department was TRYING to get sold.

In our area, we had 2 teams racing VERY FAST to 2 different objectives:

1) migrate ALL code and data to the new system (because it needs to be available on the new system) AND

2) archive everything (because we might sell all of our stuff and be unemployeed)

It was gut wrenching to look at code that I put my heart and soul into and know it would never run again. Or to look at code with comments like "I just threw this garbage together - it needs to be fixed, circa 5 years ago" and know it would never be fixed.
