I feel like there's different reasons to use a half rope or a single rope. I mean you aren't usually clipping in the same draw on each half rope anyways because a) putting both ropes in the same draw can cause them to cut each other from frictional shearing on a fall, and b) the fall will be really hard, and perhaps could injure you, since you fall on two springs instead of one. I assume you know this because you are so safety considerate.
This might be the case, I don't necessarily dispute it. But with this sort of thing always keep in mind that the US (and other Western countries) tend to be more compliant with reporting actual facts than say.... China (who somehow is ranked 107 in the world for covid-19 cases, despite their huge population).

This is something that should be possible to detect through certificate transparency logs, right?

The article says that the site has a valid certificate and it should have been possible to detect that domain certificate generation through one of the CT logs? The website hosting company took the domains down in this case but maybe there needs to be a good automated solution which would help most companies report when they did find phishing sites using lookalike domains. Not a trivial problem to solve, I guess.
Some ISPs even transmit DVB-T2 over the same optical cables thy use use to provide the actual Internet connection.

Everything would get a little more expensive, basically. It's used because it saves money, same as everything else.

Similar to cheap but non-repairable or non-reusable stuff in general. How do we get rid of it? The answers amount to making stuff more expensive, or making labor cheaper, or some combination of the two.
Idk, it might be pretty hard to work at an institution where Facebook provides a lot of funding and not have that filter in to your mind at all, consciously or subconsciously. Let's say your considering a range of topics to pursue next and you know Facebook is a big funder, you may just choose not to pursue "is depression strongly positively correlated with Instagram use in teens" and pursue something else
> Some cheap cables may not have all the connections needed

Well yeah, that's pretty important. A 2m cable that supports 40gbps from a reputable vendor is $59 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084Z65YJQ/), and that's one of the better prices I've seen. There's a bunch of no-name ones for around $50, but I'm not sure I'd trust them.
Google Cloud reported an operating loss of $5.6B in 2020
But the point is that DRM doesn't give content producers power over how content can be viewed. I could, if I wanted, go on The Pirate Bay and torrent Black Widow for free, and watch it however, wherever, whenever I want, regardless of whatever DRM Disney+ has on their streaming. It doesn't matter whether hardware manufacturers are restricted from displaying DRM content, because they can be bypassed entirely.
Surely some tools have to be more important than others tho and not knowing some tools impacts some jobs less. Is git a saw for woodworking? Or is it a tool chest that has a drawer for a saw? If you need to use a thousand different tools, the tool chest becomes more important (the analogy doesn't map well there but it seems similar to working on a bunch of repos that have a bunch of branches or one repo with one branch). If you only need a handful, it seems like it would impact your job less.
Here's their argument:

1. Consciousness is the activity of the brain in response to stimulae, or things that people report that they can experience. These are the only things which need to be explained.

2. We can measure these and explain them with reductive science.

3. Therefore we can explain consciousness.

But of course this is a redefinition of consciousness because it ignores phenomenology. And that also needs to be explained.

Never mind how everything in Trader Joe's is packaged in plastic.
Yes, the conflict of omniscience and free will is known in theology. I think they try to solve it by redefining omniscience to "being able to know everything but also being able to exclude stuff from one's knowledge".
A lot of plastic packaging waste on US products originates in China where the products are manufactured (display bubble packs etc). Import legislation would help a lot to reduce this

You also have to think in terms of actual harm. Considering the US has an absurd amount of junk land it can use for landfills, a single use plastic object that has 1/1000 the carbon emissions of the reusable alternative may be the best environmental choice.
> We choose to spend a ton of resources to prevent freeloading, even when the amount we spend to stop them is more than we actually lose to the freeloaders.

Is it also more than what we would lose to freeloaders if we did nothing against them? If yes, then it's indeed not rational. But if no, then it's just indicative that what we are doing is working.
Linux is not the issue here but ARM processor as OP said. First DRM library for ARM came only earlier this year so finally I am able to play DRM content on Raspberry Pi 4 in Chromium but I am not going to because chromium is painfully slow and plugin maintainers have figured out how to play Netflix in Kodi.

edit: DRM library still doesn't get to "fully FLOSSed"
And both of these things are wrong and should be changed. We don't need to be beholden to the disastrous third-party legal doctrine.
This is an example of the desired use case:

static obj& some_call (obj& o, enum struct { abandon, save } disposition) { ... };

This is a common case (and should be more common) to avoid using an obscure boolean flag, which can lead to bugs. It shouldn't need a name.

An anonymous namespace just means the name itself won't leak out; under C++ rules I need the name even to specify the enum tag, which is absurd.

"The pioneering 2015 study of marine plastic didn’t include illegal dumping and export of plastic waste. In the new analysis, the team considered those actions, but only for the U.S. They say data for other nations were inconsistent or didn’t exist."

Doesn't this seem like it's saying illegal + legal plastic waste in the US is greater than legal plastic waste in other countries? That seems like a much different claim to me.
> perhaps future algorithms will be able to search Google Street View to find your exact location.

So actually intelligence organizations already do this. If they have a mundane picture of an adversary they will try to pinpoint where the picture was taken. Of course there's more clues that they have because they know things about the target, but I guess I'm saying it's not unreasonable to believe such a thing could exist today.
And? I'm just pointing out that "90% of what we read, watch, or listen to" is wholly inaccurate.

Define expensive to you? It’s cheap enough to me that I buy Thunderbolt cables exclusively as they have the most universal support for all the USB-C alt modes and PD variations.

Where did you get the idea that discrimination has to be the result of an active effort? Anything that makes one group of people excluded or treated worse is discrimination, even if it is the result of an oversight.

Your second sentence is basically exactly the problem: able-bodied people are arbitrarily treated as the “default”, and others are left out.
Same here. My primary work machines have all been Macs for years now, I find Mac to be a far better environment than Windows in most respects. The two main exceptions are gaming and font rendering, both of which Windows seems to do much better.
Yep. I remember when Blu-ray "required" Windows Vista because it had better DRM APIs then a few months later the studios gave in and allowed playback on XP... which was immediately cracked. Ultimately you have to meet customers where they are which is old devices.

Really? Color me surprised. Just reading a bit more into it now, I always thought that it fiber optic was made of glass which was why optical cable was always more expensive and more delicate. Never heard of polymer based optical cables until now, and combined with a more robust sheathing...

Would the total cost of cable then be somewhere in the same scale between an active circuit cable like USB 3.1 onwards vs a optical one with the laser transceivers and the like, assuming data signalling protocols?
This is exactly how manipulation is done and the reason for companies to do the funding.
Oh - I'm not at all surprised. Many people have been bitterly opposed to mandatory masking since it was introduced. Among them are influential public figures with a reputation for being able to think, such as Peter Hitchens. It's not just ill-educated people, and they hold these views sincerely.

So I have to accept there's a way of thinking that makes it actually wrong to mask-up.

Incidentally, I walked off the street into a pub the other day, for a straight whisky at the bar - I didn't plan to hang around (nobody was masked, of course, because you can't drink through a mask). Well I was basically called out by this grumpy fella, because I came in masked. I mean, he was joking, but he obviously despised me.

But they wouldn't be setting up oil drills if there wasn't consumer demand.
> something that is obviously just personal preference

I have a feeling that this exact idea is the reason why most Linux DEs look like crap [to me]. The way fonts look (especially those used in the system UI) is, just like colors or margins, [in my opinion] a matter of design, not just personal preference.
Doesn’t work in a lot of cases unfortunately. If you’re writing a library designed to be consumed by other languages you’re stuck with writing C abi compatible code which can be written in other languages that can “extern” them but it puts limits on what’s possible in those libraries.
I haven't had a chance to review all of these, but pretty much every one I've looked at is problematic, e.g. issues due to feeding newborns strict vegan diets, weird restricted diets like raw foods, differences in levels that aren't necessarily below unhealthy thresholds, effects on non-essential supplements, and other pathological cases. I could easily find a list of a hundred studies of problems with pathological meat eating diets, e.g. eating lots of salami, pure meat diets, etc.

You should filter these to be relevant to normal vegan diets rather than try to overwhelm with a gish gallop.

I challenge you to find a study showing health problems in vegans with a balanced normal diet.
My point is not necessarily that western products have the capacity to create demand among the Chinese for a western lifestyle. Whatever the goal is (profits, maximizing freedom for the Chinese, whatever) withdrawing from China completely does the opposite of helping to achieve that goal. It's a bad strategy anyway that you look at it. Pulling out of China completely is the sort of thing that only sounds good when you are in the moment and acting out of pure emotion.

Such a bizarre swiss cheese approach to E2E isn't it?
They were probably spending something like 20% of the entire budget on pointless advertising. Commercials, Radio, Billboards, planes, buses, google. In one example they were paying 10's of thousands a month each for some premium listings on several free listing sites where we literally never had a single conversion or even click through to our website. There were targeted ads where the cost of the ads were more than even if we had sold every single item that was advertised. There were long running ad campaigns running on products that had zero sales.

I actually realized my bias and possibly the perception of it to others. I made a dynamic dashboard setup with all the data I could find on sales and marketing and let them mix max slice and dice it themselves. I figured that if I simply delivered a super negative report it would be ignored.

One of my favorite additions to the report were sliders that let them increase or decrease the threshold of which ads counted towards a sale. Say an ad placed today and a spike in sales tomorrow or next month. The stats were still bad with huge gaps in time that counted towards a sale.

What do you think any of that has to do with anything? Whether Blink and Gecko are compliant or not was not an issue that was raised, outside of your attempt to raise it.

Whether Netlify is doing the wrong thing or not is irrelevant. The original comment was motivated only by the claim that it works in Chrome but not Firefox, and it was an attempt to address that issue. Identifying Netlify as the culprit doesn't make the issue go away any more than gesturing at the criminal statutes solves the problem of someone who is the victim of domestic abuse. Imagine they're being offered guidance on how to enter their home, collect their belongings, and then extract themselves from the situation as cleanly as they can without suffering further violence. Your entire line of reasoning here is tantamount interrupting conversation so you can shout the other person down for how stupid they are while announcing that the plan is unnecessary on the basis that it would be illegal for the victim's partner to give them a thrashing. Yeah, no shit, but once again, totally irrelevant. You're wielding a quiver full of oughts in a conversation about ises.

Not arguing your point but I think a fair amount of that likely inaccuracy comes from lack of infrastructure / a large amount of rural communities. I'd guess there's some intention there (for misreporting) but I doubt that's the entirety of the issue

This is a false dichotomy. Parties do not have to have binary, 1 and 0 values for how much power they have in a given transaction, and remarking that employees having little power places them in the same place as ancient hunter-gatherers is... perhaps somewhat dishonest?

If we're experiencing what it is to have an employer have 8:2 relative power to an employee, that doesn't mean that a ratio of 6:4, while still favoring the employer, is no different.

Does the US still operate landfills? Some or all EU countries have completely abandoned the practice. So that's just not a harm that matters, unlike some other ones.

In any case, it'd be compounding the problem here, and rather bad economics at the same time. Plastics aren't that hard to collect/separate, especially if it's ok to be mixed with paper. They burn readily and, given high temperatures, cleanly, allowing the recuperation of a significant fraction of its energy content.

Then, there's recycling, of course. Not always possible, but not entirely impossible, either.

It seems that he had only one big true con: where he conned a woman's family into taking care of him and stealing money from them while he essentially stalked her, was found out and then sent to prison.

> I believe Thunderbolt 4 has a fiber optic spec coming

Thunderbolt 2 had a fiber optic version.
> That argument feels a little disingenuous. Like when people drive a big truck every day because once per summer they haul a boat.

Eh, they also choose big trucks so they'll win in a crash. Remember, safety ratings/requirements for cars are based on collisions with similar cars. If you're in a Fit or Golf or Mini and the other guy's in an F-150 or Tahoe, you're in big trouble.

The solution's probably some form of graduated weight-based tax. Makes sense both on a safety-externalities basis and on a damage-to-the-road basis (which doesn't scale linearly with weight, so the first ton is way less damaging than the second ton, and so on).
"Metaphysical" is a confused word. You don't have to include spiritual stuff in your model of the world (there's plenty of people who don't, and this doesn't seem to stop them from leading outwardly fulfilling lives!) but if you do, you're going to see it as no less "natural" than anything you'd include in your 'common sense natural world as depicted in everyday conversation or in a movie/book'. It's literally something that's part of the exact same web of cause-effect relations as what we all acknowledge as 'physical'. The metaphysical question is ultimately uninteresting and we don't need it to work with this stuff effectively.
