That is, tough gun laws are enacted exactly because of a high rate of gun crime?

And of course those tougher laws can have at best a mild moderating effect when guns can freely enter that area with the tougher gun laws from other areas that do not have them.

Your keyword there is "dense". Rotating weight on a vehicle is basically: bad. But nothing is lighter than air, amirite?

John Dunlop didn't invent the pneumatic tire, but he put it into production. Dunlop's son was getting headaches riding his tricycle, so John D. softened the ride (as pointed out by sibling comment).

And so using air gives us three things that apparently haven't been found with any other material in combination: minimal weight, cushioning, and it can support the weight of the vehicle. If it needs replacing, one need only find an air compressor.

I can’t tell if you’re trolling or playing devils advocate. Murder, by definition, is the act of killing another human being. So it comes across as if you don’t understand the term. Law makes distinctions in this regard, as well as intent, as law is a reflection of our ethics and morals.

In your eyes, is intent all that matters? Your life results in the death of other living beings; how should you be held accountable for that fact?

It isn't "both sides" to point out failures in leadership.

Say what you will about Republicans but their core messaging has been remarkably consistent and effective. The Democrats won a hard-fought chance to turn things around from a pandemic-leadership perspective, and then those leaders get caught up in ineffective lies (Fauci saying masks were likely ineffective to try and save supplies, which was a fool's errand) and unrelated culture wars.

It encourages people to save due to monetary policy and has made me a conscious consumer.
>Many believe the shape of evolution to be a line of deterministic "progress" with a forward and a backward movement that may be accelerated.

I don't think this is correct. At least this is not a definition of evolution that I've ever seen reproduced. If anything, biologists I've read point to views such as this a misconception which must be corrected.

Dawkins is mostly talking about evolution and creationism in "The Blind Watchmaker," (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blind_Watchmaker) but I think it applies here as well: evolution is not guided, and there is no progress in the human sense of the word. ie, people are not "more evolved" than our ancestors. We have different adaptations which might be better (or worse) suited for certain evolutionary challenges. If the evolutionary pressures lined up properly, we could easily evolve to be more similar to other mammals. (ie, some people would call that "devolve.")
Or par for the course. It's easier to create something than to stop creating something once it has become a thing.

My understanding.. it is more grammatically correct to say that:

A person can be undocumented.

However, a person cannot be illegal - they can only commit illegal acts. I.e illegal immigration.

Language is flexible though and I understand what people mean with the term. I believe those on the left take issue with calling people illegal, out of fear of promoting xenophobia.
Exceptions are a problem because they're a control flow change, whereas perhaps the error condition is just data.

For truly exceptional situations, Exceptions are a good match because actually you wanted a control flow change. If the NetworkFailed maybe all of this complicated multi-node-synchronisation code is useless and we should handle that in code for NetworkFailedExceptions.

But one program's exceptional situation is another's business as usual, our desktop network visualisation icon does not want to eat a NetworkFailedException, the fact that NetworkFailed is just a reason to change the little icon to red instead of green, not exceptional at all.

This is particularly egregious when doing large data processing. If I doBackups() sending forty different sources to six backup servers, I actually don't want the failure of one backup server to handle one of the forty sources to blow up the entire function, I would much rather get back a detailed overview and go OK, 5 out of 6 ain't bad, no need to set off alarm bells and wake up the sysadmins. Error handling Go's way makes this a bit ugly but practical, Rust's way makes it feel reasonably ergonomic, in languages like C++ or Java it was kinda horrible (but C++ is slated to get an Expected class to mostly fix this in C++ 23).

The thing is, most software starts simple and easy to use. It's the introduction of new features and edge cases which slowly kills usability over time.

And this applies to desktop, web, mobile and commandline applications as well.

A tool needs a strong focus of it's maintainers and the courage to say 'No!' to things which are out of scope or not user friendly. This seems to be quite rare.
Thats not Lenin's idea. Karl Marx wrote that communism cannot be achieved without capitalism. You can't jump from a potato farming economy into a communist utopia.

If I'm not mistaken and I'm pretty sure if I am people will correct me, he actually praised capitalism for being a much more efficient economic system than what humanity had in feudalism and mercantilism. However he believed that capitalism has a hard cap where it starts to devour itself. He lived in a time when people where buying bonds from countries that did not exist.
In theory Intel could use profits from Xeons to subsidize consumer chips, but I doubt they actually are. In practice you only see that happen in highly competitive commodity markets where the profit margin on consumer grade models is razor thin (e.g. SSDs). Intel's profit margin on their consumer chips is not particularly small, and AMD wasn't a significant competitive threat until a year or two ago.

It's also necessary for survival. "healthy veganism" is largely a myth -- we are omnivores, we need meat and non-meat to have proper nutrition. With a prohibitively expensive and labor intensive diet it is technically possible to be 100% vegan, but people who do this face a myriad of health problems: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/plant-based-diets-are-be...

Even custom-tailored meat replacement products, like impossible burger (which aren't vegan, by the way), have more calories and are worse for your health than standard beef.

Promoting veganism is like promoting minimalism to the wall street elite. Much better idea to push for better living conditions for livestock, free range, etc. That would positively impact many many more animal lives than the small amount of people who will adopt full veganism.

How else will designers justify their jobs?

I wonder if designer should be reworked to be a seasonal or consultancy job only, to only hire them when you're making a new product/big feature or there's a drastic need to change things but never otherwise. Having them as permanent staff leads to our present usability and accessability nightmare of everything constantly being redesigned and completely changed around for no good reason other than padding designers' resumes.

Regarding kids I think the approach to be more careful is granted: kids immune system does not work the same as in adults.

Also overall their health/body works different than adults thus lot of medication available for adults cannot be used for kids as it is dangerous.

no one is calling anyone "illegal". they are calling them an illegal alien, it's a legal term in our immigration laws referring to a non resident who is staying here illegally, not by legal means.

xenophobia is not the moral issue here, it's fucking human trafficking.
It’s worth keeping in mind that the silicon lottery is very much a thing at these nanometer sizes. So some market segmentation has to exist. If Intel threw away every chip that had one of the four cores come out broken, they’d lose a lot of money and have to raise prices to compensate. By fusing off the broken and one of the good ones, they can sell it as a two core SKU.

Does this excuse Intel’s form of market segmentation? No. They almost certainly disable, for example, hyperthreading on cores that support it - just for the segmentation. But we can’t make every CPU support everything without wasting half good dies.
Tobacco was a net negative and, without regulation, would have remained super sticky. Exercise is a net positive and, for many, is horribly unstick you. How sticky something is correlated better with how well it hits up those short term dopamine surges (or how well its absence causes short term dopamine deficits) than it does with the net value it provides a person.
The "reason" is yield management combined with inventory management.

The i3 through i9 are generally the exact same silicon. But yields are always variable. If you took the raw yield the actual i9 per wafer might only be 10%-20% which would not be economically viable.

So designed into EVERY Intel product (and generally every other semiconductor company's products) are "fuses" and circuitry that can re-map and re-program out failed elements of the product die.

So a failed i9 can AND DOES become i7, i5, or i3. There is no native i3 processor. The i3 is merely an i9 that has 6 failed cores or 6 "canceled" cores (for inventory/market supply management). Same goes for i5 and i7. They are "semi-failed" i9s!

This is how the industry works. Memories work in similar ways for Flash or DRAM: there is a top-end product which is designed with either spare rows or columns as well as half-array and 3/4-array map-out fuses. Further there is speed binning with a premium on EMPIRICALLY faster parts (you can NOT predict or control all to be fast - it's a Bell curve distribution like most EVERYTHING ELSE in the universe)

With this, nominal total yields can be in the 90% range. Without it, pretty much NO processor or memory chip would be economically viable. The segmentation is as much created to support this reality OF PHYSICS and ENGINEERING as it is to maximize profits.

So generally, to use your example, a non-ECC processor is a regular processor "who's" ECC logic has failed and is inoperable. Similar for different cache size versions - part of the cache memory array has failed on smaller cache parts.

So rather than trash the entire die which earns $0 (and actually costs money to trash), it has some fuses blown, gets packaged and becomes a non-ECC processor which for the right customer is 100% OK so that it earns something less than the ECC version but at an acceptable discount.

When I worked at Intel, we had Commercial, Industrial and Military environmental plus extra ones for "emergencies: e.g. parts that completed 80% of military qual and then failed - hence the "Express" class part.

We also had 10 ns speed bins which create 5-7 bins, and then the failed half- and quarter-array parts meant 3 more. So 4x7x3 = 84 possible product just for the memory parts I worked on.

For processors you could easily have separate categories for core failures, for ECC failures, for FPU/CPU failures. That takes you up to 100-200 easy. If you are simultaneous selling 2-3 technology generations (tik-tock or tik-tik-tock), that gets you to 500-1000 easy.

This is about "portfolio effect" to maximize profits while still living with the harsh realities that the laws of physics impose upon semiconductor manufacturing. You don't rely on a single version and you don't toss out imperfect parts.

BTW how do you think IPA and sour beers came about?? Because of market research? Or because someone had a whole lot of Epic Fail beer brew that they needed to get rid of??

It was the latter originally, plus inspired marketing. And then people realized they could intentionally sell schlock made with looser process controls and make even more money!
But does quarter-pounder really sound better, or is it that that has always been the name of a burger for us?

When you look at these avatars as a channel for ideas, then you look at what charisma can achieve via rock stars, revolutionaries, and great leaders, this is a significant development.

Consider how well an avatar could perform from a charisma perspective vs. the canned press statements by an awkward expert or a bland politician reading a teleprompter. Forget deepfakes, I don't think average people will be able to compete for attention with a team of top writers running persuasive avatars. A well aimed joke by a comedian can change beliefs, and I could see how to use these avatars for some powerful ends.

How does one go about acquiring a kit for one of these?
