The state of the art for eco-tech is still prohibitively expensive and inefficient. Feel free to come up with better eco-tech, but what you've mentioned so far sucks. I don't want to live within a solar budget and I don't want to pay high food prices for ridiculously inefficient eco-farms. Organic food may yield higher profits per unit in the current system where they only occupy a niche, but that's because it only occupies a middle/upper class niche.
I find this pretty frequently (a few times a day) with GDPR cookie consent modals.
What do you expect users to do in this case, when apt has old or missing software? Are users expected to limit themselves to the software in the main repositories? Windows and macos don’t have this constraint. Installing applications from the internet never breaks windows update or macos. (Sometimes macos updates break homebrew or kernel extensions, but that’s kind of easier to deal with.)
I am more concerned about the security implications. No work environment should be allowing use of non-business critical extensions which tamper with web content.

(PS. If you work anywhere that allows arbitrary Chrome extensions, I hope your cyber incident insurance is up to date!)

Browser extensions have incredibly privileged access to your post-decryption web content, and if you can install cloud-to-butt, you should assume your environment is already compromised.
Microsoft is the largest open source organization in the world today. What else do they need to do to gain some kind of trust? I love what they do with Github since the acquisition. VSCode is amazing. They've open source most of their programming language. Github is free for open source org and there are no limits to the CI usage.

Trusting Gitlab more than Github is naive at this point. They are in the position of needing to generate as much revenue as possible to satisfy their investors. Github is not in this position anymore.
If not authoritarian, do you have any counterexamples of "authoritarian" countries that do have a FTA with Washington?

> This is the exact reason that issuing indistinguishable driver's licenses to non-citizens was controversial.

I don't think it's ever been controversial to permit permanent residents to have drivers' licenses.
> This is the exact reason that issuing indistinguishable driver's licenses to non-citizens was controversial.

No, it wasn't.

Because nondistinguishable licenses for immigrants had been issued for generations when the controversy, which was about licenses issued to people without valid immigration status, erupted.
This would be somewhat sensible: start a program to provide the free ID, wait a few years, measure what % of people have it, take it from there.

That won't happen of course (here in the UK). The free ID will be bundled with the legislation to require voter ID, with some pathetic head-start of maybe a few months to a year or so.
Yes, Firefox was one of the first to define the "omni" bar experience, but one of the slowest to remove (by default) a dedicated search box even after they proved most users were using the "omni" bar.
the group that is doing it today is actually the opposite group of who was doing it in the past. as it turns out it isn't a single side that tries to restrict the voting of people they disagree with. everyone given the opportunity will do this.

and in case this isn't obvious. it's always bad no matter who is doing it. i just think its ridiculously stupid to suggest that only 1 group would do it and the other wouldn't given the opportunity.
No idea why you've been downvoted. Gitlab CI is lightyears ahead of Github Actions, it's a fact.
Germany is such a country. However, as part of granting you citizenship they do a search for other countries that you have citizenship of. I believe they will not grant you German citizenship until you have relinquished your other citizenship.

I suppose another test case would be if you were to apply for German citizenship following your unilateral renunciation.
> There are basically three kinds of voter fraud: in-person voter fraud, mail-in voter fraud, and outright ballot stuffing.

Yea, that's not exactly a complete list. One example is undercounting. Another is changing people's party affiliation, so they cannot vote in primaries.

You tried to simplify the far more extensive and comprehensive list of types of voter fraud into a list of categories. In doing so you removed all actionable information from the threat types. What you did is similar to saying that all computer hacks are remote or local. They are, but so what? That isn't actionable, because it removes all the actual descriptive information.
Which in context? Is very, very likely
> if the state sends you SSNs in plaintext

No no no. It was decoded from HTML, a process so complex Chrome is able to consume an entire modern desktop computer doing so.
You could, except currently a SSN is used more like a shared secret or password than a unique identifier. I would think that a green-field approach would be better than stapling yet more functionality onto an overloaded number that was never designed to be used the way we're using it.
The gov optimization function is to maximize production not employment. This is an ongoing fallacy in the political narrative but the unseen consequences of making up jobs is overall lower purchasing power.
I've never heard this before but I think it's reasonable. Imagine if you were simulating the universe in a computer and a creature within your simulation achieved consciousness. I think it would be fair to say your simulation had achieved consciousness, even if 99.999...% of the processing power was spent simulating the rest of the universe "unrelated" to the conscious part.
I still think it'll be nuclear war as the proximate cause.

The US military used to call climate change a "force multiplier". It turns all the existing stresses up to 11. (Water shortage, ideological and ethnic conflict, great power dick-measuring, etc. etc.)

The IRS doesn’t actually know - it trusts you to report your status accurately. Of course, they could demand proof during an audit, I suppose, but “proof” can get fuzzy. But on top of that, not everyone, not even every adult, is required to file taxes. People can and do live their whole lives never filing taxes. So, “this person has never filed a return” is not proof of anything. It also doesn’t share this information anyway - US agencies are not big on sharing and in the case of the IRS, there’s privacy reasons. But of course, if you tell the IRS you’re a citizen and you file taxes ten years in a row, they might have questions if you suddenly stop. :)

Here are the voter registration requirements in New Hampshire, to pick a state out at random, for example:
https://sos.nh.gov/media/nbhlz4bt/registering-to-vote-in-new...

You can literal simply pinky swear and sign a document in front of an election official at your voting place and time that you are an eligible voter to register, and then go vote. They have no practical way of truly verifying what you say in most cases. There are legitimate edge cases that need this, so that’s why things work this way.
Personal machine, sure. I get it. Media people can read news for entertainment purposes.

This wasn't a personal machine though, this machine is used to check facts for the New York Times. Lots of people will believe something the NYT publishes with no further investigation, this is a important job. If I was doing that, I'd do my best to keep an open mind, and definitely not install a plugin that reminds me of my biases on every page.
Nuclear power plants are an economical no-brainer. The ecomic consequences of a disaster are nothing compared to the power produced over the average life time of a nuclear plant. Fukushimas economical damage may not even be attributable to the nuclear plant, considering that the tsunami may be directly responsible for most of the damage (which would have been done with or without a power plant).

The risk of a disaster is a different matter I don't want to get in to, I think people just fear what they don't understand. By this point, the people making and running the things know what they are doing in my opinion.
Yeah, I'm totally aware of how hard it is to accurately assess and relate info from a technical paper without experience in the industry, which is why I try to make sure I express how little confidence I have in how I'm relating that info, given I very rarely have time to actually dive deep into a paper when looking something up like this.

In some ways what you describe is a very common larger problem. When you want to promote something (whether it be because of financial or more altruistic reasons), its hard (possibly impossible) to walk the fine line for all people between accurately relaying information and convincing people of something less factual (such as "this is cool and we should look into it more"), namely because different audiences' relative experience in the area will mean they won't recognize where that line is in many cases.

For example, at exactly what point does a website or description for some open source project move from purely descriptive explanations of what it can do to promotion about why it's cool and why you should try it? People with different experience in the domain it's in will have difference experiences ready that info. The neophyte and the layman will interpret the statements differently.
I wholeheartedly agree with your first paragraph. However I am drawing distinctions between the results of the two political machines. While their goals are the same, the specific topics they end up rallying around are different. If we were discussing hostile college campuses, then it would make sense to criticize the blue team for its delusions. But rather we're discussing Covid where the red team has driven the mess.

The dynamic isn't that the evidence is unambiguous, but rather that when the evidence is inconclusive falling back to first principles makes sense. Respiratory filtration should help prevent spread of respiratory pathogens, period.

If there are no conclusive results proving that out for ersatz cloth masks, then the scientific approach is to try better protective equipment until it does become effective. Taking a lack of positive results as a reason to eschew protection is anti-scientific nihilism. If a virus is still spreading somehow with a certain type of PPE, then what does it take to stop it? Full face mask? Bunny suit plus PAPR? Once we know that, then we have a good idea of all the mechanisms of spread, and can debate whether specific precautions are worthwhile. Bunny suits might not be, but half face P100 respirators plus face shields at $50 per person might have actually made economic sense based on what Covid has done to the economy.
1) Mostly agree, except the risk reward balance is slightly reversed the other way, even though both are small values. As such, it's true that it's more a question of principle than of medicine.

2) Not that reduced. Effectiveness is down to around 40-55% after a couple of months, as you can read in the latest peer-reviewed studies from last week in Nature [1], The Lancet[2] and by the ongoing statistic report of the Imperial College in London [3] on request of the UK govt. There are plenty others publications older by a month or three who show the same from the UK, France, China and Israel.

3) Whether you are in the UK, US, Israel, France, and a lot of other places, 93-97% of >50y.o. are already fully vaccinated. They are the most at risk. As for the current state of mandates, YMMV depending on where you live. To change them ?? You might have not noticed, but people requesting changes in the mandate are considered just shy of domestic terrorist plague rats of late...

IDs are essential. It works in other countries. Fix it.
> refuse to accept college IDs [...] more likely to vote for the "wrong" party

How is that different from accepting college IDs because students are more likely to vote for the "right" party? Seems like both options are biased one way or another.
It's very validating to see FOSS become industry standard. It's well deserved, and people also deserve to have legitimate free access.
Is this not already the case? S230 protects a publisher for user generated content. It does not protect a publisher for whatever they choose to add to user generated content. If a website's only addition is HTML formatting and "here are all the posts by your friends/feeds/etc", then it's hard to see how that creates liability for them. Whereas if a website editorializes by promoting specific posts, they are adding substantive content in addition to what other users have generated.

I suspect that the real thing preventing such lawsuits is that generally in the US, the contents of speech rarely create liability. For example it seems perfectly fine to have advertising filled with blatantly fraudulent statements, as long as you add a few weasel words that destroy an expectation of objectivity.
"Some skeptics said that this other, completely unrelated kind of project couldn't be funded using this model several decades ago, and they were wrong." isn't a compelling argument.

The GP post actually pointed out several differences between journalism and programming language development, and they seem pretty important to me - so unless you actually address those points, it seems safe to assume that you're comparing apples to oranges.
I'm wondering whether there is a metaphysical law of conservation of valence - where positive qualia have to be balanced by negative ones in some way

This is easy to believe when your brain is flooded with serotonin, but i don't think it's universally true
I believe (though I'm not totally certain) that the tax payer ID is actually always distinct - most domestic tax filing is done with SSN though and then translated to the tax payer ID. The context here is that my spouse is non-American and had to acquire a tax payer ID when we were married.
I would argue that it's worse to slowly come to the sickening realization that you're not actually useful. That the people around you just put up with you and give you something to occupy your time with out of pity.

If we make sure everyone's basic economic needs are met, then maybe they'll surprise you and find a job or social niche where they legitimately are useful and valued. But if you're economically imprisoned to your current job, then you won't have the time or freedom to explore.

Also, unemployment insurance and welfare as they are now are fundamentally different from UBI. The nature of these programs is "stay unemployed or economically useless, or else you lose the benefit" and it actively disincentivizes people from trying to contribute to society.
i don’t think either of you is correct. there are many tenets of fascism, and prosecuting (or straight up imprisoning) journalists is a common occurance in socialist and capitalist countries. by your definition a lot of capitalist and socialist countries around the world are fascist, which is false.

Being vegetation obviously has a huge impact on your footprint, but I'd imagine that buying from a local organic farm actually has a much higher footprint than buying from a larger non-organic farm, since non-organic can grow more in a smaller space.
PopOS does slightly better than most distros out of the box on my Thinkpad. Installing tlp greatly improves battery life across all distros I have tried and basically eliminates the advantage PopOS has. Unfortunately compared to this level of improvement I still get about a 30% improvement in battery life using Windows without any tweaking at all.
Message channels are deterministic if they're only used on a single thread.

>You can't guarantee the lifestyles of your children.

I bet I can have more influence on my childrens being environmentalist, than on others' people desire to reproduce.

By the way, I'm not advocating for people to have more children but against policy to limit population. Only because it so less effective than accepting to have a sustainable footprint.

This is why I suspect such an attempt would require going via the courts. You would say to the bank "I have unilaterally renounced my citizenship", the bank would not accept it, and you would be asking the court to order the bank to recognize that renunciation.
A negligible percentage of apps use the registry to store configuration, and even if, when missing, it's not an issue. If absolutely needed, conf can be easily exported/imported on a per app basis. What's far more common is to store stuff in AppData, but that can be synced as well (with a whitelist).
At least there they have the option of voting for the other party, rather than being disenfranchised

Out of interest, what do you beleive in?

I agree that pantheism is a misapplied psychological need, but no more so than any relgion or beleif system.

I've decided that to fill this need, it is useful to choose a fundamental belief system of some sort. I have choosen Taoism and parts of other Philosophical systems, like Stoicism, where I feel there are gaps.

And it's pathologically toxic that we as a society believe the only valid way to meet those emotional needs is by providing value to a company in exchange for the means to survive.
My idea is that Apple encourages Apps and features / adds badges for those apps that only store data locally. The local storage should be able to identify different types of data. They provide an API that allows data to be queried so that whenever an App queries some critically of confidential data it throws a big warning.
This, of course, depends on where you are. Not every country in Europe has a national ID. Countries which do have one often charge for issuing them. In some cases it is sufficient just to bring your ballot paper to the polling station.
You've lost me. What does this have to do with the point I made about which bugs we want security developers at Apple spending their time on? You seem to be making my point for me.
I don't see that working. Right wing has been on the rise the past few years and countries like Japan didn't have a decent immigration system to begin with. Racism was a big factor in Brexit vote too. It just seems that with every passing year, immigration (even for well educated and qualified people) is becoming more and more difficult (even before covid), the opposite of what we need.
Sadly, it is debated and controversial to some, though it's unknown if "widely" would apply. Either way, this is likely malicious compliance, so the specifics don't matter all that much.
Ideologies in political parties have shifted enough that calling modern-day republicans and democrats the same as 40s republicans and democrats feels fraudulent. Whether someone was in the wrong yesterday is less important than correcting the folks in the wrong today and doesn't excuse their current behavior in any manner.

If things shift the other way and democrats start suppressing the vote I'll be just as outraged at them - regardless of whether "my guy is winning" or not.
