> I don't think you can plausibly win your argument that the 3/5ths Compromise had the intent, let alone the effect, of abolishing slavery.

I can try!

The slave states hoped to have their slaves count has whole persons on the matter of counting the population for apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives. This would have greatly increased their power without any meaningful representation for the people in question. The Three-Fifths compromise diluted the power of the slave states by only counting them as 3/5 of a Person. If the slave states wanted more seats in the House (and by extension, more power), all they had to do was free their slaves. That's the incentive.

> But I don't have to have that argument with you, because you've forgotten about the other slavery clauses.

Again, which slavery clauses? I'm just asking you to be specific. If it's as straightforward as you think it is, this shouldn't be hard for you.

> you have only to reconcile their own words about the morality of slavery with their actions.

Which society's morality? That of the 18th Century, or that of today? I think the entire point is that the morality of slavery has changed over time. Public opinion about homosexuality has dramatically changed just in the last 20 years. The morality of homophobia in the 18th century is very different from its morality today. That's the whole point. While the Founders definitely saw slavery as evil back then, it was still the status quo. The perceived wickedness of the institution even back then was very different from the perceived wickedness of the institution today. Put another way, failing to ratify the 13th Amendment in 1865 would have been really bad. Repealing the 13th Amendment today would be decidedly worse.
> SSNs should be treated ...

As someone who dealt with identity theft, SSN should only be collected if contact with the SSA is needed. I.E. payment of social security benefits.

Any and ALL other "ID", nope. Use some other number.
You could equally say that destroying a const object changes its state, so you can't destroy const objects, but that would not be true! So I don't think this is exactly obvious, although I do like it as a way to explain the decision.
No, I don't remeber a single request coming from a website I would like to be in synch with.
This is hardly a production use case, but I've had a bare metal server at OVH for several years. It's currently running FreeBSD 13 with bhyve. I have about 4x VMs running on it, including OpenBSD and several different Linux flavors.

Things have just worked and I've really not had any issues with it in the years it's run. The VMs are stored on a mirrored zfs zpool with sparse volumes so they only take up space they actually need.

All that said, I find the bhyve config language and command line options to be pretty painful, so I've been only using it with this frontend: https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve
On the other hand I don't see why it couldnt work both ways

if you start query with

if you start query with

Ah, the good old days, when I used to argue with my buddy that my SGI Indigo was more magical than his NeXTcube. It was even more fun than the old Mac/PC arguments. The Android/iOS fights today just don't have the same lustre.
Disclaimer, I'm not an expert and I have only second-hand knowledge of founding. But from what I've seen, the local authorities are quite willing to do some hand-holding and answer questions. Registering a basic business (Gewerbe / Gbr / Selbstständiger) with the Finanzamt is easy, I think you also have to register with the chamber of commerce (Industrie und Handelskammer) and pay a small fee, but they also offer support for founders.

No matter where you incorporate, you'll likely have to pay some taxes in Germany if you are based here. You'll also have to pay social insurances for your employees, which are quite high. In any case, I'd recommend to get an accountant even before a lawyer. They can take care of the payroll accouting (even if it is just for yourself and your co-founder), social insurances, and taxes, and are not too expensive.

So if you are just setting up a business entity, I would just do it where you are based, since you have the paperwork anyway and doing it here gives you the ability to just walk up to the local offices if needed. However, I don't know what the answer is if you want to found a limited corporation (GmBH). There is not the universal "Delaware company" in Europe as far as I know. Some of our multinational customers incorporated in Ireland for tax savings, but I don't know at which scale that would make sense.

> But there would be a spot where the pressure waves would cross [simultaneously]?

There could be, but it's not immediately obvious that there has to be.

It does seem like certain points would need to be on 'cusps' of the wavefront, though, so something like getting the wave from the north and the northeast 'simultaneously'.
Here is an example of the benefit of better weather forecasting.

They Said the Tornado Would Hit at 9:30. It Hit at 9:30.

…

Weather prediction technology has become so precise in recent years that tornadoes are almost always foreseen, a vast, if somewhat unheralded, improvement in forecasting.

In the late 1980s, before the use of Doppler radar and other technologies, meteorologists were able to issue warnings for 46 of 88 violent tornadoes in the United States, or just more than half, federal data shows. In recent years, powerful tornadoes have been preceded by warnings 97 percent of the time.

It's not a few assholes. It's literally all media, public and private (at least where I live, in Germany). You do get the feeling that something is terribly off here.
No, there is no missed rule, the comma is the only official decimal separator in these parts.

It’s like that darned USB port, you have to flip it 3 times to get it right.
Absolutely, because not all disabilities are permanent. They can broken into lifelong disabilities, acquired, temporary, situational, and chronic (potentially among others). Just think of how many people who can hear still use captioning on their TVs. Or how easy your website is to reading on a phone during a bright, sunny day. Or how usable your stuff is for someone holding a child in one arm. Accessibility (and thus, WCAG’s success criteria) helps everyone.

I don’t think it’s unusual that creators who have thought about accessibility have also thought a lot about UX, etc. So there may be some correlation there. But as others have posted, while there are some criteria more targeted at those using assistive technology (like screen readers), there are just as many things helping everyone else.

Besides all that, none of us are getting younger, and with age comes reduced mobility, dexterity, sight, hearing, etc. You never know what tomorrow brings. Someone who self-identifies as having no disabilities today may have a different experience tomorrow.

But then again, web accessibility is what I do for a living, so of course I’m a bit biased. :)
I disagree with systemd being designed purely for servers. We got systemd --user and session awareness which eliminated all kind of hacks of running daemons (eg. a sync app, sound) as a non system user.

Thanks, that's another one; but again, the intention of it was to grease the wheels for the slave states to join the Union so that the institution itself may eventually be outlawed. Indeed, Jefferson's outlawing of the international slave trade went into effect on January 1, 1808, not a single day after the limit laid out in Article 1, Section 9.
Yes, indeed, there are other ways to look at the assembler output. I've been doing that for 40 years. I heard the same things when D added builtin unittests, and builtin documentation generator. But we discovered that when things are builtin, and very convenient, it changes things dramatically.

I suggest you try it before dismissing it. It's changed the way I work, and has started changing the way others do, too.

> It was fast enough even for the very first C compilers... <checks calendar> 40 years ago.

I actually did write a C compiler 40 years ago. Emitting assembler would mean another round trip to the floppy disk, and one might even have to swap floppies to do it. It would have been slowed to the point of making the compiler uncompetitive. Even if one forgave MASM for being miserably slow, as it had a linear symbol table and was multipass itself.

Consider also that in those days, compilers did not run the linker. You compiled the code with one command, and linked with another. Mine (Datalight C) would do both in one step.

After seeing that, every other compiler vendor did the same thing.

Thanks for the tip on what Hotspot does. That seems to have been added starting with JDK8, after I had stopped working with Java. When I used it, one had to use the debugger.

You should be aware that tsunamis behave in the way you're calling "sea level", and not in the way you're calling "wave". It's true that a tsunami is a wave, but it's not true that they come and go over a period of minutes, or that they fail to move much water. They're very large.
Read Jefferson's views on usufruct and compare with his desire to maintain his estate's wealth and not free slaves for said wealth. It's hard to not think lowly of a man with such views that are backed up with such actions. Your refusal to condemn Jefferson for his actions is odd. It's not like the man was devoid of praiseworthy actions but he was no saint.

What do you mean with "leaky abstraction" here?
I think the disconnect we're having is your inability to perceive complexity. And I don't blame you, it's not easy to quantify. I suggest you start with, Out of the Tar Pit by Ben Moseley. I'm not knocking on documentation, it's a vital property that I consider when adopting new technology.

What I'm saying is that systemds documentation currency (if you accept my metaphor) is spent on covering its accidental complexity and it's voluminous. If you disagree with me, that's fine. This is just my experience as a linux user that's had to deal with systemd.

If your claim is that systemd man pages are well written documentation then I think you're exaggerating and I'll wager you've relied on stackoverflow examples or tutorial blogs to solve your systemd issues--because I have. The reason for this is because the number of concepts and abstractions that you have to piece together to solve your problem is massive. But yeah, it's just a 5 line Unit file. I prefer strawberry kool-aid, thanks.
Yeah. As I read it, NATO expansion is not a "push" by NATO; it's a "pull" by non-NATO countries trying to join.

Yeah, sorry, don't really put much weight into that. Fauci is a dedicated civil servant and pretty much everything he does is seen by large numbers of people. Oh, look: https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-170254166936

If my goal was to cast fear, uncertainty and doubt into vaccines, I think I'd be able to weave a far more convincing web of lies that the folks worrying about a married NIH power couple.

I guess the way I look at Fauci is that he already proved his value in the HIV/AIDS crisis and it would be crazy not to trust somebody with that level of knowledge, levelheadedness, and connections.
As another comparison, the UK is just slightly smaller than Oregon. But has 16 times as many people.
I think a casual relationship to tags and folders together is the way. I built a system that allows both [0]. And using them together has some advantages. It's important that nothing of type A could ever be of type B. This is useful managing client work, and other things like transactional data. Folders handle this scenario. OTOH, a lot of research material for one bucket might be related to another, for me that's usually programming related articles etc. I want to review all that stuff together -- a tag handles that.

In other words, folders create boundaries between information, and tags connect across those boundaries.

"Clueless" is misleading. It seems fair to assume anyone with a PhD in a hard science is probably in the 99%+ percentile for statistical knowledge. Sure, even at this level the statistics often get applied incorrectly, but I'm not sure how well statistical intuition correlates with the number of courses taken.

Deep within the linked piece there is a small section entitled 'On “statistical significance”'. It says this:

Now, this result does not happen to be “statistically significant.”

People often use arguments like “but it’s not statistically significant” to try to discount results. I even hear people with PhDs or MDs say this, because somewhere in their schooling they were falsely taught that results need to be “statistically significant” to be “real.”

But even if a result is not statistically significant, absent better data, it still remains the best available estimate for the effect in question. This is just common sense. “Statistically insignificant” does not mean that there is no effect. More on statistical significance here: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-00857-9.

As a non-PhD who has (relatively) thought a lot about statistics, and who has previously linked others to that Nature article, this is the sort of balanced statement that makes me think she is not clueless. How about you?
No missed rule. Thank you for your feedback. I have replaced the decimal separators '.' with ','. Sorry for the confusion.
"Around the time of the initial eruption, a cloud measuring 38 km (24 miles) wide is thrust into the atmosphere. Its diameter already measures almost twice the length of Manhattan, New York. One hour later, it appears to measure around 650 km wide, including shock waves around its edge."

I've run Debian for two decades, so I've definitely ended up going down the path more than a few times. Yes, the actual building process wasn't so hard. It was the maintenance burden afterwards. Maybe I just didn't commit hard enough with my own apt repo, pinning, staying ahead of what was coming through backports, etc. But point is that it effectively never stuck long term, the end result was always going back to vanilla upstream. Whereas in Nixos such patches are some lines in the larger config file, which feels a lot more persistently manageable.

Search works brilliantly for your own notes because you know what you're looking for. You wrote the notes. It fails for problems that you can't describe well though, especially if you don't know the technical jargon to search for. Directories and tags can work for that problem because you can easily see relationships like a hierarchy of folders, or what other tags a tagged item has. Tags and folders also act as a prompt to classify and organise things, which occasionaly leads to discovering how things are connected.

"How to find stuff" is a space with many solutions to similar looking but subtly different problems.
"Made mistakes" is some very careful language on your part. To then follow that up with "the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, otherwise called liberal democracy" is fairly deceptive.

Personally speaking, I don't think capitalism, socialism, or communism are inherently good. The only way any of them work is by mixing traits of others and regulation. Given that, they're all pretty arbitrary.
If a child is blinded as an infant, they won't know the difference as an adult -- until they learn that their eyes were once full of sensitive nerves. How does this inform the ethics of blinding infants?
You could hypothetically collapse the two though. You can have tags and could use those to automatically generate efficient organization structures.

For example, say you have the following datums with the following tags

apple: plant, Rosaceae, tree, fruit
peach: plant, Rosaceae, tree, fruit
rose: plant, Rosaceae, shrub, flower
dandelion: plant, Asteraceae, herb, flower
carrot: plant, Apiaceae, herb, root
pig: animal, Suidae

You can then try to generate a folder structures that optimizes certain parameters like keeping the average number of children to not too far away from ~6 and/or minimizing the depth of the repo structure or whatever. Depending on how you wanna optimize it, you could end up with a number of structures such as:

root
- plant
- tree
- apple
- peach
- herb
- dandelion
- carrot
- rose
- animals
- pig

or

root
- Rosaceae
- apple
- peach
- rose
- animal
- pig
- other
- dandelion
- carrot

You can use your imagination to think of better structures or optimization problems, but you get the basic point. We can have tags be our primary classification method and have the organizational structure be an outcome of that.
> This work is propaganda designed to make people doubt the public health establishment, not a good-faith argument.

Let's assume you are correct.

Your claim seems to presuppose that the author believes the opposite of what the piece suggests ("not a good faith argument"). Why did the author go to such lengths to design this propaganda? Why do they want to make people doubt the public health establishment? How do they profit from that?

I could see claiming that they are wrong (though I'm not qualified to evaluate that), I just don't at all understand the claim of bad faith.

This is usually how I feel about claims of bad faith in general (and the internet is lousy with them of late). Maybe I am just naive. I tend to think it's more likely that people believe what they say and are potentially incorrect than that they are incorrect and know it, yet still make the claims anyway.
