> how many times have you seen amicus briefs written to the supreme court defending 5th amendment rights?

Are you serious? There are 5th Amendment cases in the Supreme Court practically every month, to which plenty of groups will submit amicus briefs. I don't see how the tone of awe is warranted - it's really not a remotely unusual event.

Hell, you can see countless ones on Google from the EFF alone: https://www.google.com/search?q=eff+supreme+court+amicus+bri...
> The Chromecast/Google-TV device is better

I disagree. I have 5-6 Rokus and one Chromecast with Google TV.
Chromecast with Google TV does not support YouTubeTV user profiles. That's kind of a big deal, considering it's a feature of YTTV and one that I use extensively. Not being able to access my library of content from my living room TV sucks. I have to use my phone to launch the video, and then I can use the CC remote to skip/navigate. I've reported it multiple times, all I hear back from the YTTV Reddit team is "we're working on it".
It would have to be linked to a requirement that all businesses be formed as worker cooperatives, democratically run by their workers. That's what would give labor the power.

The usery laws are just about preventing banks from exercising undo power over those worker cooperatives at the formation stage.

Yes, all of the above.

it will have to be a strong AI virus so it can keep rewriting itself as new software updates come along so you’re risking a skynet situation - oh! reminds me of the cowboy bebop episode where a hacked satellite entertains itself by drawing geoglyphs in the desert-definitely do that.

file under "other" reasons. To be sure, the governments don't want to keep getting sued so they start putting in policies to mitigate damage, but it is a source of inefficiency. It's also too easy for state and locals to float bonds and go into debt to cover these things, push the payoff problem to a future generation of voters/future generation of immigrants into the city. If there were a real hammer up against their heads (say, if municipal bonds and state bonds were outlawed), the efficiency would go up.

My pet theory is that puritanism is an inherited trait (not sure if genetic or cultural). america has a lot of it due to its history. The descendants of the puritans have given up all sense of religion, which actually, for them, was a net benefit, since having an external, well-organized religion actually would pull them back from their religious zealotry (by discouraging pride for example).

Now, completely unmoored from their actually somewhat stabilizing traditions, these children -- already predisposed to puritanism, zealotry, etc -- have taken up new belief structures, except now there's nothing to bring them back to reality.
There's an argument to be made that annexing Taiwan would actually be detrimental to the PRC: doing so would be hugely disruptive to the global supply chains that form a major source of income to China.
No. I can’t believe this needs to be explained, but the two situations are remarkably alike. If all of a corporations data is being held to ransom, there is no choice in the matter, they must pay. You’re talking like losing all their customers or IP or shutting down the corporation wouldn’t hurt anyone but it would hurt all their employees at the least.

What such an idiotic, short sighted policy would do is to encourage corporations to pay the ransom in secret. This only strengthens the hackers because now law enforcement has no idea who is being hit, when, and with what malware.

I posted this lower down as a comment, but some might be interested to know what specific glue is being used:

Most manufactured wood building materials contain one of these two types of formaldehyde-based glues:

* Phenol-formaldehyde (PF)

* Urea-formaldehyde (UF).

Its water resistant properties make phenol-formaldehyde glue more effective for production of exterior wood materials. Urea-formaldehyde glue, cheaper and less tolerant of excessive moisture, is most often used for interior materials including wall paneling, flooring and cabinetry.

In its natural state, softwood lumber emits a tiny amount of formaldehyde. While PF-glued products typically emit 10 times the formaldehyde outgassed by softwood, UF resins can release at least 100 times more formaldehyde than the natural wood.

A typical particle-board subfloor made with UF glue can release enough formaldehyde to result in a 0.3 ppm concentration of formaldehyde in a room. For healthy people who are not bothered by formaldehyde, the levels in softwood lumber and PF glue are usually not considered a serious health problem.

UF glue, on the other hand, has been implicated is causing people to become hypersensitive; a good reason for healthy people and sensitive people to avoid UF glues altogether"

Nvidia co-wrote the VFIO-Mdev API in partnership with Intel where it is used as a kernel interface for GVT-g mediated GPU devices (as well as Nvidia mediated devices). My (totally baseless) guess would be that Nvidia saw this market change coming with Intel ARC GPUs leaving vGPU functionality enabled across the consumer lineup and rather than getting left behind by a big change they helped bring it about. We're just exposing the capabilities of that API to the user across vendors and making it easy to interface with.
This whole 250 comment thread is basically people discussing what they'd do or what you should do when finding yourself in a police encounter. My counterpoint is that none of that discussion actually applies.

As for most people wanting it that way, I think it is because most people have not actually encountered it. They want it in the abstract, likely not so much when it happens to them. Kind of the classic...the people who want wars typically don't want their children in those wars.
> I'm not sure what nuerow was trying to say. Carcinogens aren't bad for you simply by looking at them. And it's widely known and often repeated to use respirators when cutting MDF.

In case you are not aware, engineered lumber, whether used as structural elements, finishings, or even furniture, continuously releases formaldehyde into the environment. Consequently, there are health and safety guidelines to minimize exposure, which depending on the jurisdiction can vary around 0.03ppm and 0.01 ppm.

Those who handle MDF in industrial contexts need to take a lot of precautions to be safe regarding the half dozen types of cancer linked with it's exposure, but the risk isn't limited to that context. Risk is determined by the degree of exposure, and lower-level but continuous exposure throughout longer time periods, which happens when you stay home, also presents a serious health risk.

Why the hyperbole? No one is deifying him. It's an encyclopedia article about an influential music technique he developed, not a moral examination or a defence of his crimes.
I mean, I’m not dismissing Linux though. I am dismissing the idea that an operating system not funded by a trillion dollar company can make inroads with many , many end users, yes, that’s true (Google, Microsoft, Apple are all in that category), but I’m not dismissing Linux or the massive impact it has had. The Linux kernel is one of the singularly most disruptive forces in computing of the last 30 years. I think there is an argument to be made that it is the most disruptive. But Linux on the desktop, sorry. It’s not going to happen. And I just don’t consider Chrome OS Linux any more than I consider iOS Unix. I’ll probably still call macOS Unix (tho the Unixy bits are getting eroded with every release), but I personally don’t consider the kernel the operating system in this way, I just don't. I actually think the success of Chrome OS and macOS show what is necessary to make a successful desktop operating system: billions of dollars in investment. Not millions. Not tens of millions. Billions. It isn’t about the kernel. It’s about everything else.

My TV has a Linux kernel inside it. My coffee maker is running some variant of Linux or Busybox or something. Again, the Linux kernel is one of the most disruptive and important advancements in computing.

But the article was about switching from Windows to Linux on the desktop. And I think there are plenty of valid reasons to switch. I don’t think that particular article is a good example of them — and I think debates about what desktop OS people want to use are inflammatory by nature.
Is there something particularly insidious about this protest? It stands to reason that any protest would find conflict with the person whose actions are being protested. In the political sphere, there's enough police protection that the people involved can still get to work, and this wasn't provided by the campus police. It strikes me that these protesters aren't that different than any others, but the security on campus is lacking so that they've had access to, for instance, deface the professor's office door.
> but I think too often give a universal mushiness to many cuts

Lots of people like that, especially with sub-par cuts (blade roast anyone?).
Yes to this! Bamboo root structure (rhizomes) can be broken down into two basic types, leptomorph and pachymorph. Bamboo that belong to the leptomorph rhizome group can grow many feet over a growing season, and have buds along their length that will grow into new rhizomes or culms (shoots). These are the classic runaway bamboo that folks worry about. Bamboo that have pachymorph rhizomes will (each one) grow into a culm and are thus much slower to spread around your garden. More like a clumping bush.
I grow bamboo as a hobby in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, and currently have about thirty bamboo plants of 10 different types growing in pots in my yard. I'm waiting to plant them in the ground at my next house for when I have root barriers to prevent the leptomorphs from spreading too quickly!
> The idea of a connected and collected story has obviously visited and abandoned its writer again and again in the course of composition.

I have to agree with this. The book certainly has its merits, but story isn't one of them...which is sad because I think there could be something interesting in the vendetta story, but 90% of it was spent discussing whaling (which is interesting on its own).
Irrelevant anecdote: I was cooking nachos and decided to try slow cooked carnitas for the first time (I like cooking but I'm not very good at it). It was truly mesmerizing seeing the way the pork meat stiffened at first and then slowly softened over time. I was roughly following J Kenji Lopez Alt's recipe (look him up if you want a great resource for all things cooking). I had incorrectly covered the pork at first so steam was escaping. Once rectified with some more time (3 hours total cook time) the meat took on a whole new quality of softness after having been quite tough at 2 hours.

As a science enthusiast, learning more about the interplay of heat, time interacting with things like collagen, protein matrices, fats, cell walls for veggies makes cooking so much cooler and fun for me.

You are using profit-seeking to convey the (immoral) idea of "favoring profits over ethics", while I am using the more (ammoral) neutral definition of "doing something for financial gains". Can we agree to that?

If so, you'd have to argue why you want to change a neutrally-charged concept into something that carries negative connotations.
The role of women in managing climate change
This happened to me. The police wanted my password and refused my right to silence, wouldn't let me call a lawyer. I wouldn't talk. Then they threatened my wife and I gave up my password to stop them from hurting her.

The password was suppressed by the court, but they let the police use it anyway because one of the officers (with no formal computer qualifications) testified he could have broken 2048-bit AES encryption without the password. And worse case he said he would unsolder the chips off the circuit board and put them onto another board and that would fix it. The judge allowed the testimony and believed it.

Make sure you always use a password on your devices though. Biometrics are not protected by the 5th Amendment in the USA as the police can legally force your finger onto a touchpad or hold your face in front of a camera.
I would have agreed with you if it weren't for the recent cases of ransomware attacks on hospitals https://cyber.forum.yale.edu/blog/2021/7/20/attributing-deat...

The anti-yakuza strategy suggested here probably wouldn't fit as a solution for attacking ransomware.
I'm not sure what that has to do with the desktop. AFAIK the steam deck is a handheld gaming device similar to a Nintendo Switch, not a desktop PC. It seems about as related to desktop Linux as google stadia, i.e. not much. When I say machine with Arch I mean a desktop/laptop with just the stock Arch on it.

Edit: And if you really want to be pedantic, ChromeOS is technically Gentoo underneath the covers, but the only reason it works for its target use cases is because it's heavily modified with some proprietary components. Getting one of those is really different from the experience you would have with trying to put upstream Gentoo on a laptop.

I think it fits the anti-trust narrative in that they are charging above the “natural” price because of their market dominance.

A bit part of US antitrust law is harm to customer. And higher prices is a harm to customers.

Leave it to the advertising-surveillance industrial complex to explore every possible route to inject outrage into subjects' brains (whether they want want it or not).
Maybe it's because I've lived in Chicago my whole life, but I've only ever dealt with cops who could be generously described as evil. The cops at my high school sat in the lobby all day harassing students, one of them was fired for starting a relationship with a student. The union contested and got his job back after he was elected president of their union. I've never had a government employee other than cops tell me to "fuck off" or "shut the fuck up". In fact, I can count on you hand the number of times anyone other than a close friend has said that to me, yet it seems like everyone I meet has been verbally abused by cops.
From another point of view, looking at the government as an institution rather than through its role as an advocate of the people, you could also make the case that the government should oppose any massive consolidation of wealth/power as a threat to its own power.

FAANG companies each individually have higher annual revenue than most countries' GDPs. In the absence of government intervention, there wouldn't be much to stop them from turning into British East India Companies and establishing banana republics, raising private armies, etc.

In an extreme scenario, some kind of corporate Genghis Khan could hypothetically consolidate the S&P 500 into a single megacorp if the DOJ allowed it to happen, and that company's revenue would be about half the US GDP (making it the third largest "economy" in the world). It would effectively be a hostile state right in our own backyard. Would we even have the ability to enforce taxation if they said no? What would stop them from wielding that incredible wealth to effectively buy a majority stake in government?
I made the other comment about not using boiling water. I've also run a tea shop and have imported very high quality tea. I've tried green and white teas with boiling water and they definitely did not taste as good as with 70-80 C water. At boiling temperatures they taste somewhat burnt and astringent.

> “Some have pointed out,” she wrote, that “this change in the law will allow some duplicitous or badly motivated males to ‘change gender’ fairly easily,” putting women at risk not from those who are trans but from predatory men.

> In fact, TSMC has already started making 5nm chips called the Apple M1 Pro.

This is not a recent development. TSMC has been mass producing 5nm chips for slightly over a year now. The first 5nm chip on the market was the Apple A14 (iPhone 12 line) released almost exactly one year ago, and soon thereafter (November 10th, 2020) the first M1 Macs.

Samsung has had their ""5nm"" chips out since early 2021 with the Exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 888. It's in the ballpark of TSMC's process but not as dense.

Intel hasn't even announced their first mass market 7nm (or ""Intel 4"", sigh) products yet. ""Intel 4"" is inferior to Samsung's and TSMC's 5nm processes on paper, and it'll likely not even be next year that we're going to see products with them.

I don't think Intel's foundries will be competing on the leading edge of the market. They'll have be trying to have value focused production with their 14nm and 10nm processes, I would guess. There should be plenty of demand there still, but it'll be a good while - if ever - before Intel is leading again.
I see what you're saying, but "getting rid of trans people," is not an academic issue. It's an issue of whether you invite them to parties, or try to push them out because they make you uncomfortable. We should not let the meta-meta-debate (the debate about whether or not we should be allowed to debate the metaphysical structures of the issue at hand) distract us from the decision we really need to make, which is how to act towards others when they are standing right in front of us.
> I was part of this "acquire patents" effort at Google. I actually interviewed people to be in Legal whose job would be to acquire patents. The theory (since discarded) was that a heavy patent portfolio would give you a better negotiating position if you were sued.
