All of civilization is a balance between safety and liberty. It's an agreement to limit certain activities and standardize their consequences.

Inequitable societies will prioritize the safety & liberty of some groups above others. People also have different ideas on where the balance should be (well, excluding anarchists) but that is merely a matter of degree, not kind.

Of course that oversimplifies things, but this over used & out of context quote ignores that fundamental fact of any minimally organized group of people.
> 2) Speaking of Norway being a country -- it has 5 million people and dozens of political parties. Most of those people and political parties do not actually support further north sea exploration [2].

Your citation is about political parties, and the majority of political parties would not translate to the majority of actual voters.

> Much like in the US and most other countries I suppose, the actions of the government do not represent the will of the majority of the people.

Maybe get a better source for the position you claim is held by Norwegian citizens before speculating on this.
Follow-up from Scaleway after a Youtuber explained having bought a stolen SSD
Answering to All comments. I am old enough to remember when I first read about OLED too :) It was 1997 in WH Smith ( A book store in UK, ). It was mentioned as the Holy Grail of Display Tech. And I have been following it loosely ever since.

Burn-In, It is an issue. But specific to certain usage. The above was written mostly in the view of Smartphone. Apart from gaming, Top quality OLED panel burn in issues on Smartphone is rare due to your usage on smartphone, you dont use the same App for prolong period of time. ( So dont expect OLED on your computer soon, it makes no sense. )

OLED is also a spectrum of technology, WOLED are less susceptible to burn in, along with Quantum Dot OLED. Again with a roadmap to further improves these situation.

And I did mention QNED [1] , Nanorod SolidState OLED that drastically improve everything from brightness, efficiency, burn in and even cost. Although that is somewhat 5 years in the future.

The difference between comparing to LCD to OLED and OLED to uLED mostly comes down to cost / benefits. OLED was thinner, lighter, more efficient, profitable than LCD. There is nothing on LCD roadmap that could compete with OLED for Smartphone display. Nothing. There is a reason why even low end Smartphone are switching or planning to switch to OLED display. Entry Level OLED and LCD price are already level except LCD are virtually operating at a zero margin, while OLED are profitable and with a roadmap in this decade to further dipping below $10 per panel for average sub 6" Smartphone Display. ( Ask BOE ) And a whole positive feedback loop to further evolve the spectrum of technology.

Again this is mostly looking at Smartphone. We could see uLED take on TV and large size display where OLED dont make sense. But then uLED is also a spectrum of technology and those used in the current Samsung and Sony Wall Size TV aren't the same as those that wants to fit in to tablet and phone.

I think you're (and Ericson2314) confusing/conflating two different ideas.

Big cities obviously have economies of scale, so, say, the chicken lo mein is fresher and hotter due to higher volume. Or, the first time I had a cup of plain coffee at a random cafe in NYC, it was stunningly good. Any reasonably successful business has much higher volume than in a less populated area and is pressured by competition more too. They can and must do better.

But people make more money on average in a big city, and that means they spend more. If the exact grade of hamburger available everywhere is 20% cheaper, that doesn't in any way prevent your meals from being much more expensive. The whole point of being in a city is so you can get stuff you can't otherwise.

If you are living and working in NYC, are you going to just have the same fast food you could get in Albany, that's incrementally better?

Don't mix up "city dwellers use less resources for a unit of a given thing" with "city dwellers use less resources period".
This article isn’t about reducing the cost of egress though, its about giving a discount when you peer with other partners. Its a very self serving argument.

In this thread: “do you think you all will/can/ ship an [even more niche feature fully several orders of magnitude more difficult to make profitable than the product’s existing value offering right as it is shipping, from a startup to boot].

Seriously guys [some commentators], what the hell. They did a good job, I mean I’d consider it independent of the modularity benefit which I don’t care overly much about - if only because it’s bloat free, sports a very pragmatic design without being obtuse and frankly it’s high time PC oem’s had more pressure. With this being their only product there’s a chance QC ends up proving superior to premium laptops from HP, Dell, etc. Certainly these guys’s track record so far doesn’t instill any doubt!

Great job, @ the Framework founders. I love to see any innovative angles or iterations possible in the PC space these days.
Not GP, but agree with them. In my opinion: because you don't show respect for them. What would your reaction be if someone said that to you and you were powerless to do much about it?

Of course, this is all judging just by the tone of your posts, so it might not be (and I hope it isn't) a true reflection of reality. Kids are smart, they just lack experience. But they still deserve respect from day 1, and if they have it then most of the usual parenting problems never surface.
> willfully being flabbergasted by basically anything so you can

Off-topic, but is there an a word in English for this?
Sure. Zakat is a form of "wealth tax" if you will. For money above a certain minimum amount held for a lunar year, 2.5% of it is to be given to certain individuals (there are several categories of such people mentioned in the Quran and Hadith). It's superior to an income tax model, which many people today are complaining about. Taxation in the US and Europe is 40% or more, crazy.

Zakat on produce (fruits and veggies), and cattle each have a different way of calculation.

As far as unemployment goes, if the unemployed individual falls into one of the categories of people that deserve Zakat, then he will get it, it's quite straightforward and very fair. Actually, an individual may be employed and still deserve Zakat.

This way, we ensure that the lower class of people are lifted up, while not overburdening society with insanely high tax rates.
Accountability is not punishment. It's a thirst for justice. With nobody accountable there is no justice.
Based on my reading, the particle physics explanation/theory is precisely the current consensus. And, given my research into electrodynamics in order to understand the propagation of EM wave fronts in antenna design, I also think the article has some merit (which is, at its core, a call for some experiments).

Given that "light" is fundamentally a electromagnetic wave and its propagation in spacetime is constant, and this results in time slowing down when you go faster to maintain this property, it isn't unreasonable to hypothesize a more fundamental basis here.

Personally, I think adding in the time component will be essential to completing this puzzle but all in all it makes for an avenue of investigation which is interesting.
It may. It’ll settle at an equilibrium that pushes it far ahead of the US, though.
> Besides, how can you talk about unifying general relativity and electromagnetism without mentioning Kaluza-Klein theory[1]?

No offense but the very first paragraph of the article's introduction mentions Kaluza's work:

> The earliest attempts can be reasonably traced back to the German physicist Gustav Mie (1868-1957) and the Finnish physicist Gunnar Nordström (1881-1923). Fruitful efforts came, for example, from David Hilbert (1862-1943), Hermann Weyl (1885-1955), Theodor Kaluza (1885-1954), Arthur Eddington (1882-1944) and of course also from Albert Einstein (1879-1955). It is less well-known that, for example, Erwin Schrödinger (1887-1961) had such inclinations as well, see [1]. For a thorough historical review, see [2].

Curious why BigCo would want cannabis to be illegal.
just read the abstract, seems meh

wrote two very well cited articles [1,2] on this in the context of string theory. but this was just extending kaluza klein, where by adding one compact dimensions (with some assumptions) you get maxwell out of einstein for free. this result is from 1919, 102 years old.

i'm glad i can write all gravitation, electromagnetism, yang mills and string theory in two equations (1.6 in [2]]) but honestly i don't that's a breakthrough.

i might be wrong, yet it smells more like PR than important discovery.

btw you can as as well find solutions of GR that are dual to navier stokes equs.

We have evidence of scientific and engineering advancements spreading from space programs out to the world. We also have evidence of trickle down economics not working. What more do you want?

(The biggest difference to explain that, I would say, is that a scientific/engineering advancement can deliver value magnitudes greater than development cost, but trickle down at best transfers some of the money. And that's what most of the budget is going into on a project like this, not basic equipment assembly or the proportionally tiny fuel cost.)
Nobody creates a good product they first time they try, but lots of people don't commercialize those failures and instead iterates until they have something they don't feel is shit so their first commercial release becomes a success. I don't see what you'd learn by putting things you know will fail in front of paying customers just so they can point out the obvious shortcomings, all you do is waste time and energy.
I might phrase it as "afford change."

Telling people they have to pay an extra $1 in taxes for renewing stockpiled medical equipment gets you booted out of office by voters.

Asking people to pay $1 during a pandemic is obvious to everyone and agreed.

Was it any less of a good idea in the first time period than the second?
Wanted to say exactly the same thing.

I've set up everything according to best practices (SPF, DKIM, TLS, static IP for almost a year, reverse DNS, blacklist removal, spam checks).

I've also repeatedly contacted Microsoft support to get unblocked. All my requests to whitelist the IP in the last year or so have been ignored.

Microsoft is the sole bad actor I've encountered in more of a decade of self hosting email.

On principle, I've decided not to use a different provider, and users on Microsoft services will not get emails from me or from my websites.

This will only change if enough people complain. As a paying O365 customer, I'd encourage you to open support tickets that you're not receiving emails from some the smaller email servers, e.g. those hosted on DigitalOcean.
Yes. K9 hasn't bloated much over the years, and I've been using it for the past 10 years so I'm quite certain of this.
Something to be aware of is a lot of farms have have these canals, but they're often attached to a managed water system (usually called irrigation districts). This is distinct from what the article is talking about. Those are riparian water rights:

Where can you buy a phone/tablet that’s capable of browsing the internet, and a data plan with enough data to be worthwhile, for a few days of lunch money?

Actually, would retail stores even sell a data plan to an unaccompanied minor? You could buy a SIM online I suppose, possibly via a gift card, and watch the mail carefully to ensure the package isn't seen, but it all seems like a lot of work for a small amount of web browsing.

I’d think that in the worst case scenario, the child goes through the process once, browses the internet for a couple of days on a super crappy device, uses up their data, and realizes the whole thing wasn't really worth it. Maybe they do it again in a few months when they're particularly bored; whatever, it's a few days out of the year.
This is the I better be my child's best friend or do what they want or they won't like me and will never talk to me again parenting dtyle.

In the end you don't want to be friends you want to set clear guidelines and expectations.

We know, empirically, that rent control, when it satisfies some key constraints, is effective.

Unless you are one of those that thinks that economics isn't subject to the scientific method, reality trumps theory. And it's false that we have no theory of why rent control is effective, we absolutely do.
I should add, of course, that I mainly wrote that for those who 1. Really would like to avoid catching the virus for now, but 2. Think it requires ungodly levels of isolation to do

The first three articles focus on the Times's own research and findings.

The second three focus on the congressional hearings and responses to them.

The detail in the first three articles especially is pretty interesting, and covers many major news organisations: the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Christian Science Monitor, UPI, AP, Reuters, broadcast networks (radio & TV), several individual radio stations, and numerous foreign press organisations either owned by, subsidised by, or influenced by the CIA.

Not all the engagements were necessarily known, and the press organisations often denied knowledge or complicit cooperation, though the fact of influence is well established.

Notably the Times itself, its publisher, and the owner's family (the Sulzbergers) are all conspicuously mentioned, multiple times. The paper claims it wasn't knowlingly cooperating. It did publish a highly critical account, much of it on Page 1.
The only change between 5.740 (available on F-Droid right now) and 5.800 are updated translations.
> same applies for AI which is very energy intensive too

Training (building the model/AI) might be, inference (using the model to actually "run" the AI) is relatively cheap, I think. This may change with massive models, but I suspect power usage of the AI will not be a major concern for deciding where to put AI-operated factories.

> I don't know how anything could be more ergonomic than Dancer (Perl's Sinatra equivalent).

My understanding it that they're very equivalent in many respects, and popped up at about the same time. Often they're mentioned together as modern options, I didn't for brevity and I'm familiar with Mojo. I think Mojolivious tries to require only core modules with optional upgrade to non-core versions if supplied. Not sure how that compares with Dancer, been a long time since I looked at it.

> I think what killed Perl was Google choosing Python.

Possibly. I saw that as the natural extension of "python is the new teaching language" stuff that started happening in colleges at around the same time, and I think that had a lot to do with it as well. I'm the end it's all about users, and new users, as old users have a natural attrition through finding other things that interest them (whether a new language or non programming pursuits) or retirement or even death. Without new users eventually the community starves. And even if you get enough new users to replace the old ones, without enough new to keep a relevant position relative to all new users, the language will be relegated to a slow decay. That is, even if perl had enough new users to replace old ones, the total programmers grew manifold over the last decades, and without a slice of that pie you're stuck as a has-been language, and eventually people leave due to the natural pull of popular and vibrant language communities.
Wait; do you mind sharing a bit more about how you do this? I somehow missed this reply, and appreciate the pointer

Your comparison is nonsensical. Calling police racist murderers does not follow from mentioning addressing police violence and systemic racism.

Your summation of the situation is more reflective of your interpretation of reality than the actual situation at hand.

Actually, that is not his position. He includes economic constraints to construction, ie, the price of the land being too high.
Gravity is extremely well described by general relativity. What we do lack is a quantum version of GR, but that does not change the fact that we understand gravity very well, at least in the sense of the word that physicists are used to.
And at the risk of muddying the original point, it turns out that strictly speaking the neither the neutral Z boson nor the electromagnetic photon can be said to come from SU(2) or U(1). Instead, each field is a linear combination of some abstract fields (namely the neutral W0 and the weak hypercharge B bosons) from the unitary gauge induced by the compound symmetry SU(2)xU(1). This is because when both symmetries SU(2) and U(1) are present, there are different ways you can "mix" the two into the Lagrangian. The mixing that gives us the photon and the Z0 boson is known because of the experimental confirmation of these particles. This is what is meant when it is said that electromagnetism and weak neuclear forces are united in a higher-energy theory as a single "electroweak" force.
I am not allowing them to grow and learn right from wrong… only because social media? Seriously? They aren’t locked away from people and sunlight.

They engage socially in the real world. They don’t need social media to fail and learn from failure. They have every opportunity to fail for real among real people.

When they get out on their own hopefully they learned they don’t need social media to be happy or drugs or alcohol. At that point they are free to make their own decisions and face all the consequences without the help of a parent.
