This is correct and any good conceal-carry instructor will make this clear. If your home state does not recognize some form of the "castle doctrine", you can only use deadly force if you believe you're in actual danger. If someone breaks in and you gun them down without being presented with a threat, you're most likely going to jail. Even if you live in one of these states, you'd better hope you get a sympathetic jury and rightfully so.

(I'm guessing you're US-based.) So instead of many poor systems trying to do better, we'll end up with one uniform system working poorly, that just became a nuclear-hot political target implicating the 1st Amendment.

No, neither that nor any of the other countless things that I did not say are not my point.

I often see that payroll taxes are regressive. But the benefits from payroll taxes are progressive... Replacing a top 1% income or standard of living with unemployment or social security doesn't happen in the US system. Are payroll taxes regressive relative to the benefits paid from payroll taxes? I genuinely don't know.

I would try to come up with a rule-based system that actually detects the bad behavior they don't want to have. Of course, people are then free to circumvent that system by not behaving badly.
The platforms people mention in this thread should be irrelevant to your decision as a parent. If your kid's friends are all on Snapchat but you only let him have Twitter because that's what HN says is safe... then you aren't achieving much as a parent - that would be as good as banning social media altogether. Allow your kids to use whatever platform their peers are using and teach them how to be responsible with it.
It sounds like lower estimates indicate about 55 000 - 80 000 uses of self defense with a gun per year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defensive_gun_use

But it sounds like it really varies source to source. The problem is that a lot of the time it is just an estimate. Not all self-defense uses of a gun are reported as often someone doing a criminal action is not going to self-report it. And the person with the gun may not want to report it either for fear of getting in trouble. Additionally it doesn't seem like there is really a national database that can properly catalogue and account for self-defense actions with a gun. So it seems a lot of it is based on estimates from what data they do have.

Either way that low-end estimate still seems to be quite a large number. It does make you think how many violent crimes may have been avoided because of brandishing a firearm in self-defense. It's unfortunate that it is hard to get accurate data on this.

No. I do not want people to "shut up and take what bosses give". I want people to negotiate in the best possible manner to get the best personal outcome. We do this all the time with salary negotiation.

IMHO, the actions taken by the author, while possibly noble, did nothing to further the benefit of his wife while potentially risking his future employment opportunities. I genuinely want he and his wife to have the best outcome and I just don't see how his actions achieve this goal - in both the short term and the long.

I would have asked for unpaid time off and for Atlassian to continue to pay my medical insurance. That would be a deal which I think could have been reached.

> Consider a society that only needs a 4 hour work week. One person decides to work 8 hours because they like their job and talk about how amazing work is and people should work more. One person no longer has to work. The hard working person will then look at the unemployed person and then tell everyone how lazy he is.

This is difficult to say: you mean a person that works has exactly the same skills? In the case they have, you still can have a 4h/day person that is more skilled. That person will still have a job.

And yes, if a person works harder, it will get more from it. They cannot be blamed for working I think. In any case people should be blamed for not wanting to work and wanting to live from others. I do not find a problem with the reverse reasoning. Just my opinion, I understand your point, though.

Unfortunately, the "echinacea cures Covid" claim probably isn't true, but the CDC and YouTube people seem to have decided that ANY claims about therapeutics must be suppressed. There isn't any objective reason for this; it's purely political side-taking.

I am surprised to see someone saying HLS wouldn't work this way. I'm not up to speed on the latest in HLS, but when I used it circa ten years ago, HLS worked by providing parts of a stream as individual video files, so I'd expect this is more true for HLS than a single-file-as-a-stream, not less. Videos were divided into fixed-length files, e.g. 10 seconds each. The playlist file saying what video files to use could list all of the file names up front for every provided quality level.

Lol, stun guns. The only weapons that you should take seriously in a situation like that are firearms.
Mine was the GT4 cartridge, distributed by Pro-Line Software, the same folks who distributed WordPro 64, WordPro for the Vic-20 which I did the port for and likely some versions for the PET as well though that was probably Pro-Micro software IIRC.
Please note that automatic weapons are already banned from civilian possession.
Regarding psychiatric patients and criminals, this has an exact opposite effect that you want. People are far more scared of seeking psychiatric help when they know that they’re going to lose their rights. This is an open secret in gun community to never mention to a doctor that you have guns, and this is an indirect message to not seek psychiatric help unless you wanna lose your guns.

Interviewed with Atlassian in 2010 or so. They were building their cloud. Built on Openvz. Pre-docker chroot. I had a lot of experience with all the tech they wanted to use. Halfway through the interview they even offered to migrate me to Sidney.

> I sincerely doubt the average first world person has what it takes to sacrifice their comfortable life and go live in caves to resist a tyrannical occupation.

I think the people seizing those weapons should be less concerned about "average" gun owners, and more worried about fringe citizens willing to die to detonate a high yield explosive in the centers of power.
Disk Management is also in the Power User Menu, just right click the Start Menu orb or Win+X.
They also have kids so it sounds like that plays into why they would be extra cautious. Maybe they are willing to risk that extra time needed to have the gun out for protection if it means they don't have to worry about their kids getting ahold of their gun.
This really handicaps your ability to use it as the powerful tool that it is though. I wish this was a real option.

The original blog post was an unholy combination of profound ignorance, arrogance, and the belief that problems can be solved exclusively through an almost mindless application of tech fads and buzzwords.

A lot of tech people display that same unholy combination, and the Ethan Zuckerman article has a lot of good advice for overcoming it.

The UK also gives people 6ish weeks (5 weeks to take when you want, plus 8 fixed bank holidays). I grew up in the US and am American more than I am anything else. I've lived in the UK for a relatively short time (6 years, under 20% of my life) -- but that's been my entire professional career. It's cultural differences like this that lead me to believe that America will never feel like "home" again -- I now can't imagine living somewhere where 6 weeks of vacation time seems like it's far outside the norm.
It's a different type of security:

I leave my email, jira, slack, and other services logged in while I am working. When I step out of my computer I lock my screen to prevent other people in the room from using my account in those services.

I am aware that they can grab the hard drive and get whatever crap I've got there, but they cannot login into my email, bank, and other services. That's why the lock screen is useful for me.
That's fair. To expand further, businesses are run people who have families, ambitions, etc. Starting and running companies puts a lot of stress on those factors. When someone offers you life changing to sell, your ideals around "protecting the greater good of the people" can quickly dilute.

I'm not sure I understand why you say that the position of the LDS leadership is an argument against causation. If anything that would seem to suggest that it's a a position related to being religious, since both religious and non-religious people are apparently subject to the same kinds of social pressure from authority figures, but the beliefs are persisting more among religious groups.

Of course, it's not like there's any sort of clean intervention you can do to just make somebody religious or not and see what happens. So it's not clear to me what causality would even really mean here.
I wonder how a different tactic would fare:

1. Buy some legit(ish) dataset for marketing purposes. I hear DMVs in the US like to sell people's data.

2. Do a direct marketing job: send every single person in the dataset a snail mail letter with a printout of all the data you have on them, and a reference to where you got it from. I hear USPS offers good rates for bulk spam campaigns; they apparently live off it.

That sounds like something that is in range of crowdfunding money, could possibly be fully legal, and sidesteps the issue of news outlets killing the message, with (as I recently heard) their policy of not reporting data from leaked datasets.
I am pretty sure this is not intentional. Somewhere some classifier in Google has overfitted onto .xyz. They will probably fix that some day so this will not be true forever either.
Yeah, sorry, I misunderstood you.
Part of the issue was caused by issues getting Canadian supplies of lumber into the USA due to a trade dispute. It's possible that these German mills are just taking advantage of being in a temporarily good trading position, with the understanding that cheap Canadian imports will retake their market position shortly.

If they thought this was permanent, they would have expanded to supply the USA, rather than doing so at the expense of domestic production.

The main problem is the old idea, that the message is the messenger.

In a way that is still true, but its not one message per messenger molecule. The message is intimately connected to what other messenger molecules are around, what are they bound too, what composition of receptors are on the cell surface, what are those receptors connected to, what secondary messages are being sent intracellularly and what messages have the cells received previously.

As we have understood the hormones passing loud, clear and overruling messages (like e.g insulin and thyroid hormone) we start discovering the much more specific and context-dependent hormones. And those are going to have effects that are much more dependent on the cellular state, and so are much more difficult to understand.

It's extremely complex, because the state of the cellular machinery is huge, and quite a lot of things we can't really observe directly.
Britain also spent a long time transporting violent criminals and resettling much of the relatively violent “Scotch-Irish”/“Borderer” population to the American colonies. We also got a lot of their religious fanatics. This explains a lot about America.
outlier events are extremely bad

Don't forget the history of the 20th Century where such "outlier events" included 100 million previously disarmed people killed by Communists running their countries, and the Left likes to remind us of the small death tolls in right wing countries, although many of those were fighting communists. See also the WWI era Armenian Genocide which was so ignored by the rest of the world it convinced Hitler he could do as he pleased.
