I agree on divining intent, but I'm not aware of any founder endorsing any form of arms control. I'd be interested to see any references suggesting otherwise. Are you aware of any meaningful debate on what became the Second?

I'm mostly going off Jefferson's "tree of liberty" letter [1], maybe there was dissent amongst other founders?

As far as federal vs. state military, I dunno, references? Each state would have their own navy...? Doesn't seem to fit with Jefferson's willingness to launch a preemptive strike on African pirates at the beginning of his presidency [2].

Agreed on strong states, hence the Tenth, and the impact of the Fourteenth, though I'm actually currently trying to get a better handle on that one (e.g. not entirely clear on equal protection yet).

Disagree on McDonald, doesn't seem like the design allows for states to pass laws that take away rights explicitly enumerated in the federal Constitution. States can "exceed" enumerated rights (like California's affirmative right to free speech), but can't cancel them out. Any sources suggesting otherwise?

A revival of the Amiga spirit is not going to be achieved through hardware, no matter how powerful it is. The kind of quality improvement the Amiga offered over its contemporary 8-bit brethren simply cannot be achieved anymore, given that we already have near-photorealistic realtime raytracing in consumer hardware anyway.

That leaves the software side of things. What the Amiga brought to the table, and what still has value today, is its attitude towards how you use a computer: "Simple things should be easy; complex things should be possible."

Is such a thing still possible today? ...maybe, but it would require a very different software design ethic than we see today; one where the primary goal for any piece of software is existing within an ecosystem, and enabling cooperation between software packages instead of locking everything down as much as possible. And an OS that puts the user first, instead of itself.

In El Salvador simplified bank accounts require no minimum deposit, can send and receive instant bank transfers to other banks, and some allow the account holder to receive a remittance from the US just by typing remittance ID and amount.

No need to go to the bank either. They can be opened from a website or app with a selfie and a picture of both sides of the ID card.
Reportedly they did go have a look, but couldn't find anything.

Cryptocurrency discussions aside, $25 for a remittance sounds way off. As an example, I can transfer the maximum permitted $5,000AUD via Western Union from Australia to El Salvador which costs $12AUD in transfer fees.

That's still expensive. Online inter-bank transfers across countries costs me $0 and I don't recall paying my bank for this service, ever.
You know the phrase, "you can't take it with you"? Turns out that's literally true -- when you're dead, there is literally no use for possessions anymore. We all end up in the cold, cold ground with exactly the same amount of "stuff."

The estate tax is a "government double dipping," it's a tax that's been around since the founding of the country, put there by the people who very specifically wanted to avoid generational wealth forming dynastic rulers over their newly-hatched nation.

I don’t buy it. Those institutional traders have plenty of access in 2021 and it’s still as volatile as ever. The extreme volatility is what makes them their money and also convinces the casual investor to put money into Bitcoin because they think it might 100X again.

If the volatility stops, so does the crypto party. Big traders don’t want it to stop.
You don't have to make stuff up.
I think what the parent comment meant was that for the environmental impact of producing and transporting a glass bottle (glassware are heavy), one can produce and transport many PET bottles. The ratio can be high enough to the point where producing a glass bottle is more environmental impactful if they are not reused enough.

For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvzvM9tf5s0
This presumes that you’re working in a random-access manner with your data. A lot of deniable-encryption use-cases involve archival access (i.e. tossing new files into the container, with each written file then treated as immutable.)

An attacker watching the side-channel of your access pattern would just see you growing the volume. But that doesn’t tell them whether you’re adding new real data, or adding noise.

Yeah, there's something a bit ironic about a store with the tagline "GNU+Linux laptops with Libreboot preinstalled." putting a laptop without libreboot at the front. I understand why, but at the same time, it feels ever so slightly disingenuous, since you can install coreboot/run me_cleaner on a pretty wide range of computers (e.g. Purism's laptops), while libreboot can only run on a handful of late 2000s laptops.
I understand that, just wish it wasn’t true.

Maybe OP meant 22 years of zero maintenance. Even though many houses are way older than 22 years (including the apartment I'm living in now) going more than two decades without something breaking is quite challenging. Granted a lot of the time it's a simple electrical issue, plumbing that needs to be repaired or paint that's peeling off the walls. Stuff that isn't vital for the structural integrity of the building.

Because if it is tearing down buildings after 22 years and rebuilding new housing then yes, that is quite ridiculous and unachievable for most people.

You're right. Those homes are too difficult, too far gone. They have no hope anyway. There's no point in giving them an opportunity when killing is easier.

On the topic of laptops, what brand has the best quality besides Apple? Or does the price for "quality" equal a MacBook?
In fairness, I'm guessing that the problem here is the reporting of the situation and likely not the reality of what they actually did on board. I'd be really surprised if they didn't follow the correct procedures as well as actually identify the source of the issue.

What's most likely is simply that the statement released about the incident down plays it (as we've seen before) and omits the most important detail (what was on fire... was it important... etc)

Interesting, it's worth noting that the scheme can sometimes also be used to cause SSRF to a different protocol which might not use http, like ftp or gopher, s3,...

SSRF are fun, sometimes the leak credentials directly also - when server is based on a trusted subsystem the auth headers might leak outside.

Yeah, I got the same angry feeling that I get when a company write: "Made with real chocolate". Well... no you don't have to write that, it's the product made with fake chocolate that should have a label.

Why would you even put a recycling label on a non-recyclable product, unless you're an asshole.
> If people think there is a small chance that something is recyclable they will throw it in the recycling bin -- this is the complete wrong approach. Put everything in the trash unless you're 100% sure it's recyclable.

I disagree with this, there are some municipalities that will fine you for putting recycling in the regular trash.
>I want legislation that lays out a set of standardized form factors that are as re-usable as possible (NOT RECYCLABLE - Literally washable and reusable), and if companies use those - great! No extra taxes for you.

Is that seriously the impediment to plastic container reusability, that they're not standardized? People don't reuse plastic containers because there aren't that many uses for them around the house.
> why Bitcoin and not a stablecoin?

Because stablecoins are not as decentralized. Why depend on third party if you don't have to?
The goal is not to get people to put them in the trash, the goal is to get companies to stop using them. Basically, ask companies to be more responsible vs. let them do whatever they want and ask communities to clean up after them. It is not ethical to label something as recyclable when that is theoretically possible, but not practically possible in 90-100% of the state.
This is a dumb and pedantic reply
Good chance it did not matter because recycling does not happen many times.

AFAIS, defense of anything is often a coercion, yes. There are millions of subtle situations for court to decide who, on the one hand, exercised his freedom and who, on the other hand, initiated a coertion, who responded to a coercion, and there is a room for interpretation.

Also, the core principle is not a set of laws, it's just a guiding principle. If a court interprets certain possessions of proprties or certain actions as an initiation of coercion on other individuals, than it can judge it unlawful. For example if you place a bomb near someone, or your property blocks an entrance for someone etc... that could be a coercion, AFAIS.

At the same time the core principle is akin to declaration of a constitution and as such it steers the lawmakers and society toward certain direction. But it's not an utopia that aims to describe everything by a single short paragraph.
Any remittance company can stand in for Western Union to make his argument, the actual company isn't relevant.

> A company might as well spend months of their experienced developers' time while making them mentor the more junior devs and invest a lot of resources in this, as well as have more overhead to their development because of needing to spend longer on QA and fixing bugs introduced by these juniors, for them to just turn around and leave when they've gotten the seniority that they desire.

Then they behaved like Oracle, Terradata and every other "business-sensible" vendor, who manages to get his customer into a technology-based lock-in. The only way Oracle only shakes down customers for tens of millions per year and not for billions is that, if it were billions, companies would just invest into migrating off Oracle.

There are 3 things about device insurance/warranties that can make them a good deal for all parties. For example, I paid $99 to insure my Google pixel 5a for 2 years.

I did the math and it made sense to me for several reasons:

- historically, I've broken my phone about once every 2 years. I'd prefer to not use a thick case to protect my investment.

- the CAC on mobile phone repair is probably around $50.

- the cost to me for mobile phone repair is about $120, or more than the cost of the premium.

- the cost to Google to get the repair is probably like $60, because they are providing customers.

- so if there is 1 repair needed, Google makes money, I save money, and the repair shop makes what it would have without needing to spend on AdWords or something.

The most likely scenario is this, so most likely it's a profitable trade for everyone. If I don't use it, I get peace of mind. If I use it twice, Google "loses".

I consider it more like "prepaying for repairs at a steep discount" than "insurance". It can make sense in some cases. Home, car, and life insurance aren't nothing like this, as counter examples.
This is what AMD has been doing for years under their CEO, Dr. Lisa Su: building custom solutions for their clients. See the CPUs in the past couple of generations of Playstation and Xbox as well as thr recently announced Valve Steam Deck – all feature custom X64 chips suited to the needs of those platforms. So, once again, Intel is playing catch up to AMD.
It very much can, because these protocols can do the same things the traditional equivalents can (trading, lending, etc.) fully-automated with smart contracts.

When you don't have to pay a ton of salaries to push paper around, you can make things extremely efficient. And like OP said, a lot of the prices for financial services are artificially high due to lack of competition as it is.
But if the bottles, or even a subset of them, were standardized, it would be possible to have some bottle specific re-use (not recycle) programs. OP was I think giving an example of one that works. Perhaps it would be possible to extend it. I can understand there are some product specific's that limit this in some cases, but if I drink beer and topo chico and a few other similar drinks, it seems unlikely they couldn't all use the same bottle.

The astrologer says "you are unable to father children". It is ambiguous whether the astrologer is implying that the man cannot conceive children or whether he has no ability to be a father. When the man reveals that he has seven kids, the astrologer's reply of "look after them well" could be interpreted as sarcasm. I think initially you're supposed to think that the man cannot have kids, but the joke is that he's implying he's a terrible father.
