The person making the claim needs to provide the proof, it's really not that complicated. I could claim an infinite number of complete bullshit claims the burden of proof should not be on anyone but me.

That law clearly states twice that "due care" needs to be taken otherwise it's not applicable. So compare and contrast this with the original claim by the parent commenter:

> legal for car drivers to mow down pedestrian protesters

I call bullshit on that. Thanks for the link.
In most deer / vehicle collisions, both are in motion so who hit whom is kinda moot. Deer are red-green colour blind and consequently there are certain scenarios where neither party sees the other until the last second.
It's unclear how much the state of emergency affects these items, though. If they have stock in an unaffected warehouse, and OP's location isn't affected, and they are willing to send new orders to OP, then the state of emergency isn't a very good justification for cancelling the old order. Similar if they could just reroute the items.
> You are confusing ability to have children (which has genetic components) with the decision of doing so.

No, I'm not. Please re-read the sources I mentioned, as well as the text I wrote. I listed both factors and focused on the second - indeed I emphasized this point repeatedly.

> Then you cherry-pick some random articles

None of the points I raised are controversial in the literature, and the journals and textbooks I cited are quite mainstread -- e.g. Nature, NIH, etc. You are welcome to cite even a single paper. I'll wait.

> Anybody could cherry-pick articles in the same way to make any claim.

You know what is even easier that "cherry picking" articles? Not being able to provide even a single scientific paper for any of your claims, because they have no scientific basis.
There's a lot of hatchbacks built in the 80's that still have solid weather seals on the roof.
Many practices are 'needlessly dangerous' but I think that the phrase itself is just a reflection of priority as many things are needless at this point generally. It sounds like you're a generally calculating and (physically) risk averse person, which is no issue. That said, I'm sure you could understand why some people get a thrill from skydiving or weightlifting or any other activity that's dangerous on its face.
I'm referencing drugs, and scientific theories, in the past, not specifically these vaccines:

It's only 50c/minute if the supercharger is not fully occupied when you park.

If you're in some of the bigger cities, you can easily be approaching $30/hr for prime parking. And the idle fee is only for the period in excess of the active charging.

If you don't agree with our immigration policies you're racist. /s

You're right though, it's essentially 21st century colonialism. When I studied economics we studied a lot about economic development. Funny how that's pretty much gone by the wayside, extinguished by the very people who should support it (western leftists).

As an aside, the whole carbon reduction thing is also thinly veiled colonialism. We want to insist that India and China reduce emissions when they produce 1/10th and 1/4 the emissions per capita that western nations do. We're already developed so it's easy to say let's cap it where it is right now. Fuck poor countries right?
Indeed. But wouldn't it be nice if we could get our collective act together and not have to clean the commons up in the first place?
> Harvesting 21st century's most valuable resource -- the best and brightest people -- from disadvantaged countries is horrific. It's colonialism, in my opinion.

Sure, maybe that is the case when looking at the 'Greater Good' of the whole population, but the

> best and brightest people -- from disadvantaged countries

are also real people with individual hopes and dreams. Just because they happened to be born in a bad place doesn't mean that their desire to achieve better things (think research facilities, schools for kids) and contribute to the future of humanity should be discounted.
On the other hand, renaming the American Civil War as the Slave-Owners' Rebellion might cause excessive cognitive and social dissonance.
The little book of Rust macros (updated)
I think it would be more effective to require sprinkler systems indoors on wooden homes. I'm seeing prices of $1-$2 per sqft, which is absolutely reasonable (although I anticipate prices are higher in LA, square footage is typically lower).

It's also probably drastically cheaper for everyone than more frequent inspections.

> The simplest way to counteract this bill would be to demand it require county inspection of all concrete homes after earthquakes

They would likely need to be inspected after wildfires as well. Concrete won't burn, but I believe prolonged exposure to high heat can weaken or crack it. That might go doubly so for something like a single-family home. There's a lot less concrete to absorb the heat, and the upper layers have nowhere to vent the heat. I wonder if it would crack at the foundation as the roof expands, but the floor doesn't because it can vent heat into the ground.

Yes, thank you very much. It's all very clear now. I was definitely using the phrase incorrectly but, to be fair, the odds were stacked against me as a non-native speaker.
To be fair, that kind of misanthropic tech-contrarianism would fit right in here, if applied to the web or FAANG.

For what it's worth, alcoholism is a well known occupational disease for diplomats. Repeated tours to unfriendly host countries, isolation from friends and family, and a significant part of the job is hanging out at boring cocktail parties.
You see someone under your car, shoot them dead, and it turns out to be a teenager who was crawling after their pet cat.

It doesn't matter what happens to you after this. The child is dead. And the killing of that child was encouraged by your hypothetical "legal to shoot thieves" law. Barring that law would have saved that child's life.

I don't see that the dollar has a natural right to be a reserve currency so no issue with it being challenged.

And there may be a pathway for bitcoin to turn from ponzi scheme to agreed upon reserve system, just like it a group of nations all agreed to value their currency in terms of Bernie Madoff receipts, a system of exchange could function even though the underlying asses is valueless.

But the more important criticism is the incentives and message it sends. If we allow a ponzi scheme to be legitimized, and convert a bunch of greedy chumps into holders of something that nation states are going to pretend has value, what kind of future behavior does that incentivize? Maybe there's an argument that it couldn't be worse than the current system, but it certainly isn't something I'd want to see happen.

The way it would fit:

You have a negative right to freedom from the state: the state can't lock you up without a good reason.

There's a new server-side liquid PDF reflowing solution that could help solve the fixed font sizes and margin issues on mobile devices. ePub is basically just HTML, by comparison.

A colleague of mine once made fun of me because of the tools I used. I got so angry because of the comment that I was ready to berate him. Considering his influence, reputation and being working there for much longer than me, acting furiously could cost my job. I simply silenced took a deep breath, stopped what I was typing and kept looking at my monitor. He went away.

Now, I see that the situation may have fallen in the case listed in the article: "You make the situation even weirder—but in your favor. You harnessed the attack and deflected it, simply by letting it linger in the air, like the emotional fart it is."
Yes, it's rich countries screwing poor by exploiting their resources.

When an organization is known for deceit for political purposes, it means I must expend extra effort to determine what information they have twisted, what information they have intentionally left out, and what the angle is. It requires extra effort to attempt to discover where the deceit rests.

Why should I expend that much effort from an organization who's got an agenda and isn't known for their honesty? How much knowledge can be gained from looking through misinformation? Why should I poison myself with potential propaganda? What does it gain me then but an attempt to bait me?

Aha, you've cracked it! All those against the vaccine are the morons. I'm glad you've figured that out so you don't have to think about it any more. So easy to put a label on a whole group to dismiss them, right?

There are many reasons people might not want or need the vaccine, most of them don't involve QAnon subscriptions and a lobotomy. But then if you consider that intelligent people who have informed themselves with a lot of data and research have come to that conclusion, you might have to start thinking about what you might have missed. That then might make you feel a little uneasy, so better to stick your head back in the sand and be happy that all the skeptics are nutters and you are of course on the correct, morally righteous team.
Dear HN, why Render Network is better decentralized
I love Tesla but what this tells us is that it’s incredibly hard to build a car.

As much as I love Elon and Tesla, it’s glaringly obvious that the other car companies have developed so much QC systems by now that they will absolutely take over the market and will crush Tesla.

So I will remain an admirer of Elon and Tesla but I won’t be buying one nor will I purchase shares in the company.

I hope there's a special circle in hell for people who use religion to prey on people. They can be a vulnerable group because once you use their enough of their shibboleths, you're not just trusted, you're assumed to be a good person, so your motives must be good.

Actually, he can. If they say it is “retuned” then it has been marked as a return and all the “return” business rules are applied. Otherwise it would show as “cancelled”. This same information is available to both seller and consumer via their respective dashboards.

Also not sure why declining population is a problem. The sheer number of human beings on the planet, however, is the root cause of many problems, climate change, habitat loss, water shortages, on and on.

There's some low hanging fruit, like not permitting specialized collections in Java for a set of integers. Because of type erasure these are all heap allocated in Java but not in .NET.

I think there's value in benchmarks showing both the fastest you can go if you need to (specializing everything to eke out max performance), and benchmarks showing how fast you will typically go if optimizing for productivity.

For an instruction only left in for backwards compatibility, I think the microcode is quite nicely optimized. Sure, it could be faster, but it beat two more naive implementations despite originating from the 386 days.

I do wonder, though, if there could still be some hidden gems hidden deep in the legacy instructions that compilers could make use of for some very peculiar algorithms.

The CNN article is about rushing approval before there was data available to show that it was safe for large scale deployment. Following the development of the vaccine convinced me that the folks working on Project Warpspeed [1] went above and beyond in making sure everyone was following strict protocols in gathering data to verify safety and efficacy. The example given in the article is about vaccines with attenuated viruses and mRNA vaccines are not attenuated viruses which removes a whole bunch of safety issues, hence why these vaccines are the safest form of anti-viral immune therapy that has been developed by modern science.

> Not in my experience! I think one can do pretty well a) refusing to put debt in to begin with, and b) for any new work, including necessary cleanup of what you'll be touching in the estimates.

My experience has been that, once in a while, even this is not enough. You might just get accused of being a perfectionist or being overly meticulous about things that don't matter, and why can't we just do it the easy way and worry about it later?

Of course, if that does happen, it means that you are in a toxic work environment and you need to leave as soon as you can. But it does happen, and I have experienced it firsthand.
According to Wikipedia, the name was officially changed back in 1975 by the Alaskan Government. However it wasn’t recognized by the federal government until 2015. Apparently the state of Ohio (which does not contain the mountain) opposed the name correction and successfully resisted for 40 years.

Since Alaska was already a state in 1975 I would say that the mountain’s name was officially recognized as Denali in some states from 1975. However it took until 2015 for the rest of the country to officially adopt it.

What, exactly, is the persuasive counterargument for basic morality? Why isn't morality axiomatic?

Let's put it this way - the argument above would also apply to saying that a private citizen who catches a thief stealing their catalytic convertor can torture them slowly and painfully for weeks without actually killing them. You owe them no moral consideration, it's a deterrent, etc. Do you need someone to make a persuasive argument against the merits of that to realize that it's abhorrent?
Thermal mass and insulation are not the same concept. For example, if the environment is continuously hot or cold, thermal mass has no impact while insulation still does. This is most apparent during winter in a cold place, where the environment is always colder than you want the interior, and so thermal mass does not help. R and U values measure only insulation, not mass.

I feel very similarly. I like longform essays -- reading them, and writing them -- as well as SSC-like blog posts. Most of that is too long for the typical internet user. Also, I too hate the feeling of my writing contributing to my internet addiction by causing me to be hyper-attuned to online performance indicators.

I don't have an internet-based solution for you, short of trying to get your stuff published in publications. They say that building an online audience is hard, and the best time to start was five years ago.

This being said, my favorite solution and suggestion is to join a local writer's workshop if you haven't already. Many workshops concentrate on fiction, but there is a growing interest in "creative non-fiction" as well. That's where I've found a decent level of discussion about both the content and form of my writing. A second suggestion would be to take a non-fiction writing class through a local university extension. I've gotten a ton out of doing that; there are few things like a small community of supportive writers and readers.
