Most of the traffic stops I've experienced have involved a long series of questions followed by a long computer look up. "Can you give me your social media accounts" wouldn't slow things down. The cops would just write it down and send it to a database. Of course, a person could lie and the cop wouldn't check it then-and-there but there's the implicit threat that the cops might check it later if they were interested in you.
"Mansour" is quite the aptronym for this case
Okay - but why do they need to collect social media info on ALL civilians they stop?

Can't they get a warrant for someone's social media info if there's any reason to actually have it? What you described seems like a reason.

I will make my offer concrete.

You will pay me $250 if NIRCam returns one scientifically useful observation (i.e. photograph). I will pay you $25 if it does not. If the only observations are of debatable scientific value (e.g. somewhat blurry), then the wager is off.

There are three analogous wagers for NIRSpec, for MIRI, and for NIRISS (for a total of $1000/$100).

The deadline is when all four wagers are resolved in my favor, or when it is obvious that they will be resolved in your favor (i.e. loss of vehicle), or December 31st, 2023, whichever comes first.

In the event of a dispute, we will attempt to find a JWST team member, instrument team member, or active professional astronomer to resolve the dispute via a public social media post. In the event that this does not resolve the dispute, that wager is off.

My real name is Nils Enevoldsen. You can find a $10,000 wager I have accepted with Robin Hanson at https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1390439816148525058.

Do you accept?
> "Why would anyone rip all that out, replace it, reintegrate it and retrain everyone over a handful of features, most of which you don't care about

Functioning CI/CD for free is certainly a huge feature to care about. For a user moving between Github and Gitlab is at worst a slight annoyance, the UX and DX are pretty similar; most third-party tooling that isn't github.com ( SaaS) only supports both Github and Gitlab self-hosted (i'd even wager there are more tools that support self-hosted Gitlab than Github, the first is much more popular).
The meter is based on a fraction of a second.
You don’t smile during your cavity searches eh? Must be hiding something in there.
Yeah, I feel that people who dismiss these concerns by saying "well you can always tell the cop no" haven't had many/any adversarial encounters with the police.

I haven't had many, but I had a few when I was in college. When you lawfully refuse a request from the police, they don't just say "ok" and move on. They apply all kinds of pressure. They make veiled threats, they detain you longer, they get angry, they scare you. It is a lot easier to say what you would do while you are safe at home behind your keyboard.
Monetize it how, though? Like how exactly does Apple make that money?
That is incorrect. The CDC believes that mRNA vaccines have caused myocarditis and pericarditis, mainly in young males. The risk is very low (possibly lower than the risk of getting those symptoms from a viral infection) but not zero. I'm not suggesting that anyone avoid vaccination for this reason but let's be honest about the risks. False claims that there is no evidence of any risk just leads to public mistrust.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/my...

The UK Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) currently doesn't recommend universal COVID-19 vaccinations for healthy children ages 12-15 because the health benefits are marginal. That guidance may shift as more data comes in.

This is one of the selling points of induction stoves, but you will have to balance air quality with exposure to high EM fields.
I agree with the 50 mile PHEV. Before my fully electric car I had a Chevrolet Volt (not the crappy Bolt). It had a ~50 mile electric range (40-60 depending on weather), and then it just turned into a normal hybrid. It was a great car and I almost never had to use the gas on the car. I had to do a few longer distance drives a year and the > 300 mile gas range covered that easily. It's unfortunate that Chevy killed off the Volt. It was a great car and was an excellent transition car for people to go electric but without the range anxiety issues. It got me used to having to charge my car, but without the risk of getting stranded if I wasn't able to for some reason.

This was due to the Competition Commission saying the BBC putting up their back catalogue would stifle competition.
Toyota's revenue is 27T JPY. This 1.5T figure over 9 years is 0.16T per year or about 0.6% of their annual revenue. That this even makes the news is indeed worth chuckling about.
Euro 2020 only reinforced how important the BBC actually is. iPlayer were streaming matches in 4K HDR while ITV were pumping out shockingly poor resolution low frame rate content that was barely watchable. Hard to believe that ITV were the ones with commercial funding behind them. Seeing that a match was going to be aired on ITV filled me with dread.

I do have the freedom to do that. For now.

I’m worried about the precedent of “safety” undermining human rights because “we’re in this together”.
The comment you're responding to was not at all naive: it only says there's no _legal_ way for police to force you to provide this information. You are correct that they can in many ways force you to comply, but none of those ways are legal.

Those ways of applying illegal coercion also break down as more and more people realize their rights and refuse to comply. The more people who force police to act illegally, the more risk there is of trouble for the cop. They can get away with it better if they don't have to do it too often.

why not? is that a cost issue, perceived security, administration overhead?
I think there's competing issues here, there's an aspect of "I want to prove myself" by creating something really good and unique that I can be proud of. There's also the "do good" aspect of potentially creating something that's a "force for good". Doing either one of those is hard, doing both at the same time is probably very very hard. You both need to chase down a good idea but also execute it well.

If you want to do good for the world, honestly finding a charity that would benefit from your cash and making a donation would do that. But that won't scratch your nagging itch to make something you can be proud of.

For that, perhaps saving up enough money to allow you to quit or take a sabbatical if one is possible to work on the thing you want to is a better idea. Would it be better for your career? Perhaps not, but it might scratch that itch and that might be better for you as a person.
This reminds me of the "This is fine" cartoon by KC Green[1]. Therapy treats the symptoms and not the cause of societal problems.

That's subjective. Gitlab does many more things, but nobody is forcing you to use them, and unused menu buttons don't matter much for the main workflows ( commits, MRs, repo visualisation, wikis, CI/CD).

We may be talking past eachother so let's re-state our points of alignment.

1. Coinbase Lend is clearly a security.

2. ...because it fails the Howey test.

3. ...for reasons that are clear and self-evident.

4. ...and Coinbase, as a registered broker-dealer would know or be expected to know that in advance.

[note: for 1-4 see Anderson Kill]

5. There's a few people offering similar products.

6. They're all doing crime.

Here's where we seem to disagree.

1. Coinbase should be told by the SEC exactly why it fails the Howey test. No. It clearly fails, and the SEC isn't required to provide their opinion of why outside the court of law. It is up to the SEC and Coinbase to present their arguments to a judge. The resolution will form precedent.

2. Coinbase is being treated differently in some way, and that's bad. The first person charged for anything is obviously being treated differently, until the others are charged. That's not bad, that's bad luck. See the speeding cars anaology.

3. The first person to commit a crime has some obligation to be charged first. No, they don't. Usually police and regulators go after who they have the strongest case against in no particular order. The resolution gives them a weapon they can use against those they have a weaker case against.

4. All criminals committing the same crime should be charged together or at the same time. No, there's no expectation of that, or precedent of that. In fact its usually easier when the cases are separate.

5. This is taking a long time because some other offerings have been on the market for 6 months. The SEC just went after Bitconnect. That was in 2016. The wheels of justice turn slow.

You'll have a point if after Coinbase is convicted the SEC leaves everyone else alone. Until then its safe to assume they're being made an example of, and with that example the SEC is going to come by and knock some heads together.
I’ve heard it claimed that governments consider spying on allies to be normal, even useful. Makes it easier to know what political doors are open and which are closed.

No idea how true that really is, but it’s at least a more optimistic and hopeful view of things than the idea each government is supremely arrogant and thinks its own defence team can hold back everyone else’s offensive teams, which is closer to my own personal expectation of what’s going on.
Its impossible to 'put back in' what we are digging out of the ground. Burning 1 unit of coal generates 2.5 units of C02.

We would have to replicate the Azolla event or Carboniferous period to meaningfully reduce CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere.

We need to abandon coal immediately and electrify all transport. Probably going to need a lot of nuclear and renewable energy along the way with a bit of gas to fill in the troughs.

The great side effect will be that cities will be dramatically more pleasant places to live and human health will improve, due to the improvement in air quality.

We should also get smart about flexible energy demand, ie. allowing cars and appliances to discharge or charge depending on grid conditions.

CO2 carbon might have a market for use inside buildings, but its hard to imagine how we will meaningfully dispose of the excess CO2 (just one human generates 1tonne of CO2 annually), and its certainly cheaper to just spend that money on carbon output reduction.
That's a fair point. I may not fully understand who he experimented on, but it seems like the target of experimentation for the professor here was the reviewers and the journals, but he didn't experiment on people to write the paper, just that submitting the paper was the experiment.

> Lying to a police officer could get you in trouble

That does not seem on point with the original question. You can lie to a [non-federal] police officer about almost anything with impunity, except your identity. That is specifically what CA 148.9 refers to.

> Better to just keep quiet

That is for sure the best answer. Any information, truthful or not, can and will be used against you by the police. The best option is to give them nothing at all.

But it is situational. Asserting your right to remain silent during a routine traffic stop where nothing indicates the cop is fishing for something unrelated is more likely to make things worse rather than better.

Yeah I liked Gitlab when we used it for everything, but once we started to integrate with other services (Jira etc) instead of the built in functionality it felt like you were fighting how they had designed it.
The way the US government works today is VERY different from the government setup by the founders. Trying to divine what they would and wouldn't have wanted (understanding that they were all over the board on opinions) isn't a useful exercise.

The founders didn't want a federal military, they wanted each state to run their own military.

The founders didn't want a strong federal government, they wanted to states to be highly sovereign.

The founders put in the bill of rights to limit the federal government's actions, not state government actions.

The government completely changed after the civil war with the 14th amendment. The constitution was written primarily to limit the powers of the federal government. States were free to put, for example, requirements on religion to run for office.

McDonald v. Chicago would have been appalling to the founders, because it's the federal government trampling over the rights of a state government.

> You're splitting hairs in a weird way. rustc cannot compile C code. zig can.

But why do I care? I don't use rustc directly, the build system of choice does. And very few of the major build systems have an issue handling multiple languages.

Cargo (rust's build system) supports build scripts and the community has already created C/C++ compiler hooks such as https://github.com/alexcrichton/cc-rs

rustup and cargo also provide easy cross-compilation support, too.

The original note (Series A) talks about retention, ~~not collection~~.

Out of curiosity, have you written apps in both languages?

I have written small applications in both.
To be transparent: my total dev hours in D are probably somewhere around ~100, and in Zig about ~30.

So I am more familiar with D than Zig, though competent enough with both to have written a few small real-world programs.

> Its interoperability with C at the source and object level is first-class

D has direct interop with both C, and C++. Also, it's recently gained it's own C compiler, and can natively compile C code so that they are D objects, not just external definitions.

- https://dlang.org/spec/interfaceToC.html

- https://dlang.org/spec/cpp_interface.html

It can even directly interop with C++ classes:

- https://dlang.org/spec/cpp_interface.html#using_cpp_classes_...

> the syntax was very easy for me to pick up as someone familiar with C/C++

D is closer to C/C++ than Zig IMO. One of it's design goals is actually:

"10. Where D code looks the same as C code, have it either behave the same or issue an error."

And:

"The general look and feel of C/C++ is adopted. It uses the same algebraic syntax, most of the same expression and statement forms, and the general layout."

See: https://dlang.org/overview.html#goals

I found Zig to be much less syntactically similar to C/C++ than D. Zig felt more like a mix of Rust/Go.

> the features it adds on top of C (e.g. slices, compile time execution)

D also has slices and (outside of Lisp) was the first programming language I believe to introduce CTFE and CTFE-based metaprogramming. C++'s implementation as I understand it is essentially lifted from D.

- https://dlang.org/articles/d-array-article.html#introducing-...

- https://tour.dlang.org/tour/en/gems/compile-time-function-ev...

> its translate-c utility works amazingly well at transpiling C code to Zig

As stated above, not required due to ImportC, but there are several tools to automatically generate "extern" bindings to C/ObjectiveC/C++.

You use these if you're linking with an external out-of-tree library, or a C++ library.

- C, Limited C++ = https://dlang.org/blog/2019/04/08/project-highlight-dpp

- C, Extensive C++ = https://github.com/Superbelko/ohmygentool

- C, Objective-C = https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dstep

> its test blocks make unit testing trivial to integrate.

Again, D also has this:

- https://tour.dlang.org/tour/en/gems/unittesting

=============

Not trying to start a pissing match, because I actually think that Zig has a lot to offer as well -- but for these particular list of things, there's no clear winner here.
> My bet: refusing to give up your social media information will be considered probable cause.

It won't be. That won't come close to holding up in terms of legal challenges. And it won't take long to get challenged legally. It's not a close debate, it's not a maybe situation, it won't come close to holding up.

The LAPD may attempt to use that angle - probable cause - in some isolated circumstances short-term, before there's anything specifically legally blocking them, if they're going to get aggressive with trying to procure social media information from people. They would know that refusal to provide social media details as probable cause can't hold up legally to a challenge and they'll risk getting barred from asking entirely, so they'll likely be careful about who they try that tactic on.
