Perfect case of optimization where no optimization is needed. A developer encodes a URL, a user scans it. What is the rate of errors in this scenario? Is it really large enough to warrant "fixing" the end result in any way?

It's impossible to eat many foods without ingesting ethanol, including bread. The advice that "no amount" of ethanol is safe is ludicrous, including from a biological perspective, as the human body is well equipped to safely handle ingestion of ethanol in moderate amounts.

Pledge drives, wow... that really puts things into perspective for me.

It's a tragedy that an invaluable public resource like Wikipedia is forced to do pledge drives, while at the same time, the government spends trillions on defense against the better wishes of practically the entire population.

I think I'd be comfortable giving the people some financial autonomy to try to change such a messed up situation. After all, you can't truly say that something works until you test it out.
Did you read the Marlinspike post? I think he's pretty clear on the issues.

But in brief my point is that as with internet itself, a protocol that allows for decentralization is not sufficient for something to be truly decentralized. Despite the vast amounts of hype about the decentralization of cryptocurrency and "web3", in practice we are seeing that it's tending toward centralization. Which personally I don't care about except the extent to which I still have to listen to the hype that has less and less connection to the practical reality.
There is a tradeoff between an individual’s absolute right to “health secrecy” and advancing treatments. I think the pendulum has swung too far towards privacy.
What you are missing is that Americans a very against centralized anything, they want everything to be local, and then flow upward from there.

In general Republicans are more against central control, and Democrats more for it (but not as much as Europeans).

So for example that voting rights fight going on right now is not about voting rights, it's about the Federal government setting rules (Republicans are against that) vs. the State setting rules (Democrats are against that).

There's arguments both ways for which is better, I don't want to go into that, but this should help explain what you are missing.

This same argument shapes things like Health care - which is currently local, not federal, and actually a HUGE amount of political stuff boils down to local vs federal.

Another thing is that personal determination is equated with local control (i.e. person decides what's best for themselves), while federal control is equated with social services (since some central authority decides what services to render).

Keep in mind the way the country was created was "united states", with the main authority being the state, and the federal government given only limited power. Also keep in mind a US state is similar in size to a European country.
Why is your neighbor complaining about not being able to charge people with possession of weed? If anything, you'd think that would make their job easier. I don't know about you, but I certainly appreciate anything that makes my job easier, all else remaining equal.
Preface: I say this as someone who has been sober from alcohol for almost 5 years.

Something can be a "net positive mentally and mood-wise" without also being something that is "not/[postponing]/[avoiding] solving an underlying problem for unhappiness".

This is my thing as well. I work at vaccine clinics and obviously am onboard with the vaccines, however I still feel bad helping administer these vaccines to people who are hesitant. Because of government vaccine mandates or employer vaccine mandates it has made some people who come in feeling "forced" to get a vaccine. And it honestly does not feel like this is the proper scientific or medical way. It sucks to give someone a vaccine when you know they aren't fully trusting in the science behind it. A lot of people are having to choose whether they put uproot their whole families and lose their jobs, or whether they just go and get the vaccine. They are not technically forced, but it honestly seems like it pretty much is. For me it does not feel morally right to have people who feel forced to make medical decisions they don't agree with without even having access to the raw data that would help indicate it's safe.

And it doesn't help that there have been multiple leaks now regarding companies like Pfizer that have made them appear even more shady. Not to mention Pfizers multiple billion dollar lawsuits/fines in the past. I don't blame some people for being skeptical, nor do I blame them for feeling like they are forced to get something they aren't sure they can trust.

It's hard to just trust an organization that has already done multiple things in the past to make you not want to trust them.

The cases that feel even worse for me are the people who have had previous doses and are coming in for 2nd doses or boosters but have had previous unexplained side effects shortly after the doses. Like side effects that are beyond the "normal" ones. Many of these people have visited hospitals or their family doctors, had multiple tests, and get told that nothing is wrong, or that they are not sure what is wrong. And these kind of cases are often not counted an "adverse effect". I alone have had many people tell me these things. They often again feel forced to get the next dose because of pressure from their employer or government. And it just feels bad giving them the vaccine, because they don't sound anti-vaxx, they sound like they legitimately had a severe reaction to the vaccine. But often doctors and public health agencies will brush these incidents off and pretend like it's not because of the vaccine. They are dismissed and considered an anti-vaxxer making things up. And this really sucks. This is not the way medicine should work.

No matter what the cut is I think there are some legitimate social questions to ask about whether want young people to be potentially exposed to economic pressure to earn or whether we'd rather push back aggressively against youth monetization to preserve a childhood where, ideally, children get to play.

I know there are lots of child actors and plenty of household situations that make enjoying childhood difficult for many youths - but just because we're already bad at a thing doesn't mean we should let it get worse. Child labour laws were some of the first steps of regulation in the industrial revolution because inflation works in such a way where opening the door up to child labour can put significant financial pressure on families that choose not to participate when demand adjusts to that participation being normal.

Some migraine medications have severe mental side effects. Doctors often want to wait 3 months or more before trying the next one. It can take many rounds to find a solution that works.

Trying to work when you deal with bizarre side effects like wanting to remove your left arm is unbelievably stressful. Or even the fact that most medications cause sleepiness.

Chronic Illnesses can get you a ton of negative labels.
No, because a child is not deemed to have the necessary faculties to make these decisions.

The question should not be posed to a child, that is the law for child labour, and why we do not have children gambling on roulette wheels.
America is never going to "force" people to have children, but it may ramp up transfer payments to those who do. The Child Tax Credit was a big part of the Biden agenda, for example. So is, AFAICT, subsidized daycare and such.

(If more aggressive payments by other countries are any indication, this will have approximately zero effect on people's decisions.)
I prefer judges and lawyers interpret what the law says, not what they believe lawmakers meant to say. It is lawmakers responsibility to craft quality laws. Such hacks expose weaknesses in the laws as written.

And then, Shackleton not only organized the rescue party for the three crewmen he had left behind on the other side of the island, but also organized and led all four attempts to rescue the crew left on Elephant Island.

And no, he didn’t take time to recover from the journey to South Georgia before doing that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Trans-Antarctic_Exped...: “He first left South Georgia a mere three days after he had arrived in Stromness”

3 days to organize a ship, a crew and supplies.

And of course, once back in England, he and most of his crew volunteered to serve in World War One. He was denied that, but several of his crew died in that war. They already had offered to do that when, IIRC in Buenos Aires they heard war had broken out, but had been told by the king to continue the expedition.

I have some questions about how access to Secure Enclave, and in particular hardware keys, would work in a sideloaded app.

Could one sideloaded app somehow impersonate another sideloaded app, and thereby trick the PKA/SKP into signing a message with a private key that it shouldn't have access to?

If there is no way to securely distinguish between two sideloaded apps, such that one app could impersonate another in getting access to OS- or hardware-level cryptographic services, then that could be a real problem, I think.

I don't yet know enough about how these crypto services are implemented to know whether this would actually be a problem in practice, however.
> You think everyone just plays by the rules?

Of course not! Whoever claimed this? I don't think anyone has claimed that there are no instances of fraud, to do so would be asinine, we have caught confirmed cases of fraud.

> Well the problem with having no laws requiring voter ID is that you literally can't catch fraud

The people currently in jail for it would beg to differ. This gentleman perhaps: https://news.yahoo.com/trump-supporter-charged-voter-fraud-0... Or perhaps this instance of ballot harvesting: https://www.canyon-news.com/georgia-whistle-blower-admits-to...

The reason there is so little voter fraud is the reward is so little and the risk is so great. I cast my grandmas ballot and risk 5 years in a federal prison for what? That vote has a lower chance of swaying the election that I'd have of winning the lottery with a lottery ticket. To perform fraud on the scale required to sway an election you need to coordinate a large group of people (for a Presidential election across multiple states) and all it takes is one defector to bring it all down. Frankly, if your going to attempt this scale, your not doing to attack the system anywhere that Voter ID helps. If I send people to cast ballots that's hundreds of events where I risk getting caught, no you'd want to inject ballots after they've been collected. Or some other scheme that avoids having to cast hundreds or thousands of illegal ballots individually.

In fact the reason that this is important and that people take this seriously is exactly why one should be suspicious of any politician looking to change the rules, especially when there is zero evidence to support said rule change. Who has more incentive to sway the election than the politicians in office? And there is absolutely zero legal risk in proposing a law that just so happens to help you get re-elected, unlike the individual commit voter fraud. SO politicians have all the incentive and none of the risk.

And we know they aren't afraid to use it. While specific instances are debated, no one denies gerrymandering exists. So yes, when I look at Voter ID, I don't just look at it by itself, I look at what's included in these "election security" bills that include stricter Voter ID. It's never opening more polling placing, allowing voting on multiple days, or any other measure designed to make it easier to vote. Instead it's always closing drive up voting, mail in voting, disallowing votes not cast on election days, and limiting the number of polling places in high population areas.

Then when I oppose this bill I must be "pro voter fraud" because otherwise why would I be against Voter ID? Nevermind those other measures in the bill.

Actually, I would argue we don't have good data from the use of the vaccines. Part of the reason is because all the mechanisms used for reporting things like side-effects, effectiveness, etc. have a litany of confounding variables which haven't been controlled for which could be far better corrected for/isolated with good studies.

For example, when it comes to vaccine side-effects, I don't think there exists a true account for how common the side-effects really are. The most common way to report side-effects (VAERS, and similar national databases) are dismissed due to the self-reporting nature, local GPs frequently dismiss side-effects and tell people to just go home and take a Panadol with zero reporting going on (I had this happen to me - started experiencing severe chest pain 2 days post-Pfizer. Subsequently saw a cardiologist after months of pain and his comment to me was "I'm seeing young people like you daily and your cases are going widely underreported"), etc.

Likewise, when it comes to vaccine effectiveness, there are a million and one confounding variables from % of the population that already had natural immunity, covid variants, health, age, seasonality, societal lockdowns, isolation, etc.

Also, it's important I think for us to raise the bar to the highest possible standard when you're talking about a medical intervention that was forced under significant duress (loss of job, social stigma, public/medical shaming) on a substantial percentage of the world's population. We should not be content as a society to come within inches of worldwide medical authoritarianism without asking some seriously hard fucking questions and imposing the absolute strictest and highest possible scientific standards to justify why.

Very interesting - the idea that with paper you accept that much of what you write is tossable and that for the select things you want to keep around, you're willing to re-transcribe. Your writing is understood to be a snapshot in time, not something that's supposed to stay up-to-date over time. There's something liberating about that.

I don't really use reddit but have ended up following links to it a few times recently. I was really struck by all of the rules about what you could and couldn't say in many forums, mainly just how both specific and front and center they were. It strikes me as much more like a kindergarten than e.g. HN, where users are treated like kids and carefully monitored. I assume that's because of how many users they have in many subreddits.
If they "escaped on a technicality" then they weren't breaking the law. That "technicality" is part of the law.

The indefensible part is tying a large difference in import tariffs to how many seats are installed. Absurd outcomes such as this one highlight systematic flaws in the rules. If the basis for the tariffs were logically sound you wouldn't be able to work around them without addressing the reason the tariffs were imposed in the first place.
