> the key problem with the US now. Elected representatives are allowed to delegate law making.

Congress does not delegate lawmaking, Congress delegates the execution of its powers to the Executive branch. This is how the country has functioned since the beginning, for it would be impractical for it to work otherwise.

Say more: delegation will happen at some level, by definition. In military matters, every step or shot a soldier takes is a decision that has been delegated through a chain of command from Congress. Since Congress is not ever going to be in a position to execute every decision for every individual over which Congress has power, Congress inevitably will delegate the execution of its powers. It has always been this way, and will be this way as long as we have a republic.

For .io specifically, there are practically no legitimate non-commercial purposes since almost nobody lives in the British Indian Ocean Territories. Anybody with a .io domain is using it for branding rather than the original purpose of two-letter TLDs.

It's like renting a space on a fashionable commercial street — if rent goes up, there's not much point complaining.

I always say Mithril is a sushi chef knife. It's wonderful if you know what you're doing, but you can cut yourself badly if you don't.

In more popular frameworks like React, Vue, and Angular, there are multiple tools that give you a structure. In Mithril you're free to do whatever you want.

Personally, I love that freedom. It's also one of the reasons I love Svelte, since it tends to get out of the way.
It makes sense in this world, you just dislike it.

I can buy a domain that costs $50 a year and I can squat on that 40 years until I would be in the loss margin for a $2,000 resell value and $2,000 is minor money for resell values. You make it $200 and then it's only 10-years, 10-years is a long time but not that long if you look at how long some people have been squating on domains. You increase the risk of not making a profit.

This talk of outpricing people, people are buying domains for thousands for their pet projects, so let's remain in the world of here and now.

not having sympathy for people is a far cry from collectively laughing at their death and trolling their family members.

there's a difference between shrugging off people you find to be moronic or destructive and being an aggressor and mean spirited.

> Now - if Stripe is frequently rescinding offers after they've been accepted, and the candidate has let their company know they are leaving - that's a whole other ball of wax.

> She signed the offer. And then she tweeted that she would be joining the company.

It sounds like she had accepted the offer. She wasn't currently working, so had no current company to inform, but that doesn't make Stripe's behavior here better.

> I always consider the written job offer to be "interesting, but still in flux until we really accept, and they acknowledge receipt of my acceptance and we have a start date".

I think a _verbal_ offer is in flux, but a written offer with compensation numbers, and where signing it means I agree to particular terms (e.g. non-disclosure, IP assignment, arbitration, etc) should be firm. And in my recent experience these letters often specifically included a start date, and sometimes a date by which a reply was required.

None of this is to disagree with your point that you never let your current company know you're leaving until everything is signed/sealed/etc. But I think the other point is, if you're considering more than one offer, when you accept one I think it's courteous to let the other prospective employers know immediately so they can continue with other candidates. When an employer rescinds an offer, it can easily put the candidate in the crappy position of having just passed on other perfectly acceptable offers.
Been using Vivaldi [0] on and off for the last few years. Now trying to run it full-time the last couple weeks (thanks to Microsoft's questionable Edge "additions" and avoiding Chrome for any non-Google sites).

Still has a couple quirks I'm getting used to (e.g. no touchpad gestures for history navigation), but the customization is great. It is partially closed-source, but they are open about what they do [1].

The Rittenhouse shootings were in Wisconsin, not Michigan. The jury instructions[1] have no law like what you're describing.

The self-defense standard explained by the judge is simply that the defendant must believe that the level of force used was necessary to terminate an imminent threat of death or grave bodily harm, and the defendant's belief must be reasonable.

However, "a person who engages in unlawful conduct of a type likely to provoke others to attack, and who does provoke an attack, is not allowed to use.. self-defense against that attack." The judge ruled that it was legal for him to be carrying a gun that night, so while carrying a gun might provoke others, it's not unlawful conduct that provokes others.

Twitter is an odd duck. What does it mean to "use" Twitter? If I follow the posts of an actual NYT reporter who is tweeting an event they are at am I using NYT or am I using Twitter? This is different than following what's trending and getting into the muck with other faceless users which is I what I typically ascribe "using" Twitter to mean.

As an aside- a benefit of just not using social media for news is that I miss out on a lot of things that almost always turn out to not be important. There is a higher threshold. I'm not succumbed by some hot issue or crisis for a day that is ultimately meaningless. Coworkers would often ask me my thoughts on an issue and I'd have no clue what they're talking about. It's liberating. Sometimes less is more.
Interesting. I think one of the main benefits of AoC is it tends to teach you things. So I would have gotten stuck, read peoples answers on the subreddit the next day, and the problem would have stuck in my memory as one that taught me something new.

I also wouldn't consider knowing properties of the GCD to be a "random math concept". It shows up in a reasonably large number of contexts. For example, in public key cryptography. A specific case is that at one point someone realized they could just collect hundreds of millions of RSA public keys and crack low entropy ones by checking for common divisors. Doing this naively by checking each pair would have been very costly, but they used properties of the GCD to massively reduce the cost by pooling keys [1].

'According to the recent Independent Auditors' Report of the WMF [1], at
some point prior to the end of June 2020, an entity called the "Wikimedia
Knowledge Equity Fund" was established, and $8.723 million was transferred
to it by the WMF, in the form of an unconditional grant. The Fund is
"managed and controlled by Tides Advocacy" (a 501(c)(4) advocacy nonprofit
previously led by the WMF's current General Counsel/Board Secretary, who
served as CEO, Board Secretary, and Treasurer there). Given that a Google
search for "Wikimedia Knowledge Equity Fund" yields zero results prior to
the release of the report, it is clear that the WMF kept this significant
move completely secret for over five months, perhaps over a year. The
Report FAQ additionally emphasizes that the WMF "has no right of return to
the grant funds provided, with the exception of unexpended funds."

'The WMF unilaterally and secretly transferred nearly $9 million of movement
funds to an outside organization not recognized by the Affiliations
Committee. No mention of the grant was made in any Board resolutions or
minutes from the relevant time period. The amount was not mentioned in the
public annual plan, which set out rather less than this amount for the
entire grantmaking budget for the year. No application was made through any
of the various Wikimedia grants processes. No further information has been
provided on the administration of this new Fund, or on the text of the
grant agreement.

Hehe, no, at least, not without my credentials (and I turn on 2fa everywhere). You need a key from one provider and provide it to the next, for example Transip (one of the biggest Dutch providers) has the procedure to import a domain outlined here: [0]. To move away from Transip do this: [1]. I bet it's similar for other tlds, not? I have no experience with others. I went through this, no downtime, no issues, DNS was propagated on the same evening I initiated the transfer.

Probably only for first year. Most TLDs are discounted significantly for the first year to get you in the door, then when you've built your business on the domain they hit you with the real fee when the renewal rolls around.

To your other points, you wouldn't boil the ocean; you keep everything else clocked as usual and bridge between them.

Brilliant and timely decision. Good luck with Omicron, US.
Shame is like a gun, it's only as good as the hands that its in.

And even then winds up doing more harm than good.

Best case scenario, you shame someone into compliance and then there's a good chance they harbor negative feelings over how they were treated.
Is it just this specific situation that causes you to feel that way? Or should all diseases which have some amount of preventative protocol be treated the same, perhaps STDs?

And what about other choices that impact emergency care? Obesity related illness and injuries, smoking and other cancer-inducing habits, dangerous activities such as motor sports and rock climbing, workplace injuries without appropriate PPE, auto accidents without helmets and seat belts, etc.

And who is it that gets to be the moral arbiter of what is acceptable? To me, it seems like whoever is in power. What happens when “the other side” from your perspective wins an election cycle?
> That's a good point. You can agree that its within the federal authority to mandate vaccines, but it really should be a decision made and explicitly endorsed by elected representatives rather than some agency (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) that I have never heard of until now and whose head is appointed by one person.

Jacobson v. Massachusetts[1] established that it is within the State's power to mandate vaccinations, so shouldn't this be up to individual states? I'm also pro- nationwide mandatory vaccinations, but Congress also doesn't seem to be the right way to do it.

You are not my audience. I consider you a lost cause after you calling me a neonazi troll. It is time the general public sees this evil inhumane activism without being obscured by anti-racism or anti-fascism.

When the general public sees you equating trolling a memorial page (a digital mourning service) as:

> anything remotely incriminating

And others write about "maybe public shaming helps" to stop the spread of fake news, then that should make them pause and question how this movement and its targets have devolved.

Your audience is left-progressive centrists. Just by standing still, they have moved closer to the far-right. You could find ways to improve that. For instance, by vastly distancing yourself from this evil. But you are not able to see it as more than something remotely incriminating, defending it, and then charge the centrists with racism.

> Settled scientific facts are not the same as politics and policy

Except that we are talking about scientific facts here, and not policy. If the political movement accepted that vaccines are seemingly safe and effective, but still rejected getting them based on some other critique, that would be a political topic. Or if say the "anti-mask" movement were solely against mask mandates, while encouraging everyone to be personally responsible and wear a mask, that would be political (I myself would have been in this camp if more people had worn respirators). But rather than making a defensible political point in the wider context of scientific reality, these movements have backstopped their positions with blatantly false scientific-seeming disinformation. And so the overall situation really is a matter of scientific facts having been politicized, and not science being used to dictate policy.

I used to work for a registrar and had the job of connecting up to the registries, who are the entities that ultimately allocate the domain names. (Yeah great naming choice, no chance of those words being confused with each other.) Registrars talk to registries via EPP, an xml based specification. While there is a spec, the registries variously mess it up in odd and interesting ways, all of which I got to discover as we did these integrations. .io was by far the worst. I remember that you could renew domain names in units of either 1, 2, or 5 years. It was like a developer had done the dynamic programming problem with coins and decided that they would put that in their api.

Considering that .io seems to have been adopted as a signal of "geeky tech cred", I always laugh, and think really it stands for .ironic.
For me, not having good domains available of hoarding is a bigger problem than paying $55/year. I'm glad there is a TLD that is useful and expensive.
Interestingly, I had a CD that I owned go bad. I found it on a torrent and started downloading it on my laptop. It was taking weeks to finish. I forgot that it was running and then went on vacation to Paris, taking my laptop with me. Within the first hour at our AirBNB the torrent finished.

CMS only controls this for patients covered by Medicaid/Medicare. It can set the tone for the entire industry, but does not solely control the industry. Typically, they create influence by setting/rejecting Medicaid/Medicare reimbursement standards. Since enough patients are covered by CMS, it tends to be easier for hospitals to broadly adopt the policies.

I think you have a point, it's a fine line, but say there was a shot which could prevent you from becoming obese and all the problems that come with it? Now I'm going to kind of argue against myself here, but as I write this I think a better comparison would be Flu, you can get a Flu shot and pretty much stay out of the hospital. People end up in the hospital with Flu every year and insurance covers that. I guess this is all to say after some reflection, I can see both sides to the argument.

Should Congress also pass laws regarding which vaccines are mandated for military personal serving in which areas of the world? For example, if the risk of yellow fever increases in Yemen, should Congress pass a law requiring special forces deployed in that area must acquire the vaccine? Or should that decision be left to the appointed heads of those branches of the military?

https://usarmybasic.com/about-the-army/army-shots
When you have one side arguing they don’t want to get vaccinated because only old or unhealthy people are at risk, where is their empathy? Where is their care for not just the dead but the living and vulnerable? All this because medicine has been politicized by hucksters and opportunists.

The public shaming of figures like Herman Cain who contributed to the anti-vaccination discourse that is leading to thousands of preventable deaths is arguably justifiable when the person who died contributed via public statements to the spread of deadly misinformation.
What has this got to do with anything? Beating a straw man "the virus will wait for legislation" while implying all the "debate and discuss" isn't important.

Also, the virus does care about the things you mention, insofar as they affect infection vectors i.e. If you don't have the power to avoid situations that put you at risk.
