What does he mean by "traps"? And "mimicking the current meta"? I feel like there are some references here I don't have?
What's your take away from the difficulty of delineating just war? Is it that we should just abandon just war as a whole, or that only strictly defensive wars (the other punch must land first) are just?

If we suppose the usual bits and bobs about how states work, then just war is important for two reasons. We should expect a states' population (and army) to not support their country in waging unjust wars, and we should expect other state's to not support other states that are waging unjust wars.

From that perspective, the difficult of delineating just wars just kind of becomes irrelevant. Functionally, the people must decide if they support a war or not, and other states must decide if they support a war or not.

Just war theory provides two things:

* An attempt to wrangle predictability out of chaos

* An attempt to pre-emptively inject some sort of "normal" ethics and morality into the framework.

A state can claim a just war all they want. But the more the claim hinges on pushing on the edges, the less likely the people (their army) and other nations will support that claim. And because as you say "there are no rules", your claims of justice will just ring hollow, and consequences (which may or may not be just) will follow.
It's supposed to only happen when you're running from them (though I think it shouldn't happen then either), but the reality is they will do it if they feel like it. The only thing stopping them is physics. Police are generally not held accountable.

Either that or I could argue we already have a killswitch like that - suspending your license - if I also go along with the idea that the cop won't flip your car when you're not running from them because that's also illegal.

So either we have a world where the system works or where it doesn't, but unfortunately we have both.

This seems to imply paying for a service guarantees it will stay up.

We've got tons of evidence to show that's not the case. It might increase the likelihood of it staying up due to paying customers, but it might also not. I don't think we have data to conclude either way (more paid/ad-supported services spring up than completely free "services" — to loosely contrast that with just regular "web sites" — but more die an unglorious death too).

If you want assurance you'd be able to access your data or desired functionality, the only approach is to use a free-software based service that allows you to export your data (and import it into another instance). Depending on your desires, you could either pay someone to host it for you and be ready to host it yourself when they decide to kill it, or host it yourself from the get go.

People make this risk assesment subconsciously all the time. Eg. whether to use gmail.com for their email account or any small random provider ("hey, gmail is more likely to stick around")? Whether to host on YouTube or... You get the point.

Yeah I agree it's great from that perspective but the business goals very rarely make it a priority given the added complexity. Even supporting offline-first style workflows is step up as you can tolerate more downtime on the backend as your app doesn't become completely useless.

The requirement for a victim’s character witness is that it be a “pertinent” trait. It’s not clear to me that a sexual crime (even an extremely serious one) provides is pertinent to an individual’s homicidal capacity, even if Rittenhouse was somehow aware of the victim’s prior conviction. Which brings us back to the parent’s original point.
Thanks, this is great.

Poorly thought out morning spitball coming. One of the reasons approximation theorems are so unsatisfying is that they are always of the form "for function class X there exists an architecture A of complexity O(N) such that blah". And then this is compared favorably with some other function class whose dimension is O(N). But there's something tricky about this: you leave the architecture unspecified. You are comparing a single space of functions with an enormous number of spaces, one for each architecture with the specified complexity, and then saying "well if I pick the right architecture I win". Doesn't seem like a fair comparison.

I don't think the failure of Gettr or Truth Social or Gab, or any of these other networks is down to technical chops that a Musk-backed dev team would have that a Trump-backed dev team wouldn't. I think it's more down to the users. Gab/Gettr is attractive for the alt-right because you can say anything you like[0], Truth Social is attractive for Trump fans because it's backed by Trump himself. A hypothetical Elon Musk social network would probably be popular with fans of Tesla, SpaceX. Twitter is popular with hundreds of these sorts of categories of people, it's way more universal.

I can't talk for the parent, but in our company, we've made the change hg -> git (using self-hosted bitbucket) and it was quite a costly endeavor time-wise (between testing, configuring and installing BB, converting/moving all the repos, making the changes to our in-house build system, changing all our code signing system (because it wasn't git-compatible) and supporting all the devs who've never used git (or haven't in a long time and forgot everything)), so I can understand not wanting to change what's working.

I created my hyperfocus api with the exact need for better aggregated financial news.
You're thinking about it all wrong.

Lots of "Bitcoiners" don't really see it as an "investment". It's a savings. There's no greater fool to sell to as exit liquidity because we're not looking to sell. We're holding for as long as possible i.e. retirement or inheritance, at which point we won't need to sell, we'll SPEND it. Notice the difference?

We know there are still decades of price discovery to occur, so the incentive is to spend as little as possible for as long as possible, but in a couple of decades most of the price discovery will have occurred and it will have integrated more with the economy and financial system, at which point it will be easy to use as a currency to buy things.

And yes, it acts as a currency just fine as proven in El Zonte/El Salvador and other places... including every major retailer in America [1]

There are lots of good people on the Republican side of the aisle. Liz Cheney, Bill Kristol, and everyone involved with the Lincoln Project.

It depends. If it's an issue with just that vehicle then yes, you don't ground the whole fleet.

If it's non-safety-critical, then it needs to be fixed asap but nothing gets grounded.

If it's safety critical, then yes, all planes are grounded.

But, I'd argue FAA levels of safety aren't suitable for cars. If a car has an engine failure or even a structural failure, they can usually just stop. Planes don't have that option.

Yes. They’re IRL anti-social trolls looking to maximize the number of people they can piss off.

They look for loopholes in the “social contract” of what behavior they can get away with without facing serious consequence.

If loud car exhausts were aggressively policed they wouldn’t bother. As it stands, police departments view it as a “we have better things to do” offense and these trolls take advantage of it.

> There are many people who don't have any problems with Spring. They might not love it but they don't hate it also.

A lot of “enterprise” developers don’t care. There are many reasons for this, some positive, some negative.

But one outcome is that Spring becomes self perpetuating. Eg a new tech lead inherits a Spring project. Then at hiring time it becomes easier to ask for Spring experience. This drives an industry perception that you gotta know Spring.

The costs — overly complicated code, ridiculous startup times & containerisation cost, messier dependencies, are often ignored or hand-waved away saying “this is the cost of enterprise”. (It’s not.)

This is not to say Spring is inappropriate in an enterprise. What I am saying that many enterprise teams do not often have that cost/benefit conversation, instead they reflexively adopt Spring. That is the real problem.

There is no such thing as "US" driving test standards. Each state has its own requirements. Some are quite weak, and some are very vigorous: For instance, Maryland driving licenses are accepted 1:1 as equivalent to the German driving license, you can exchange them without an exam or test. NY and CA... do not simply transfer.

The proxy is an open port that can be connected and acts as an intermediary. In short, when we use a proxy to access some websites, we don't need to directly link to the target website, but the proxy server to access the website. Then the proxy server will send these contents to our computer window. In this way, the target website can only obtain the proxy IP and will not expose our real IP. Proxies are usually sold in three main formats: HTTP, HTTPS, and Socks. Each of these features is different in terms of security.

> since coins are incredibly deflationary

What a strange take. Would you describe any other currency which was actively being minted, such that the total quantity was increasing, as "deflationary"?

That sounds like inflation to me. What you mean, perhaps, is that the market is buying these assets higher over time, even though the total supply is increasing?

Shame that undermines your shallow and incorrect analysis of the dynamics at work.

It is my experience though. I don't really care if people can use Twitter/Facebook to write whatever they want in their own name (yes, even harassment and incitation to violence, as long as it is done under your real name). But I do use the 'but corps are people too!' argument because I know it triggers some people who don't like having their arguments used against them.

My radicals friend all do the same thing, one of them even participate to witch-hunt/deplatforming rally despite being morally against it, just to be able to say 'but isn't a corporation a moral person?'. Until this notion is broken (and if we could break Limited liability too...), i don't think anybody can legitimately argue against deplatforming.

So join with anarchist/trotskyist, ecosocialists and all the radical left against corporation as moral person, and you'll find a lot of allies for your freedom of speech fight.
Salt is also required for us to survive.

Arsenic is a highly controlled substance.

You're really choosing poor arguments.

I am aware that it's a continuum, I am the one acknowledging that. Your argument of "yea well water can kill you too" is ignoring that and is entirely reductive and provides no real value to this conversation. It also ignores that we consume water directly, and only consume alcohol in very diluted forms...because our body literally hates it we have to disguise it going in or else we involuntarily vomit immediately. But sure, comparable...

On the continuum of toxicity - alcohol is reasonably deadly and is very much a literal poison (as evidenced by the thousands of people who die from acute alcohol poisoning every year, not to even mention the thousands more who die as a result of long term usage) and provides no sustenance. As soon as you ingest it your body works to expel it from your body as quickly as it can. The damage it does to human cells is well documented. It is completely unnecessary to human life and even claims of some potential minor health benefits are easily crushed by the health benefits of say, eating an apple every day. And yes, there's certainly a deadly dosage of apples too.

An Interesting Project There?
It’s the first real autonomous testbed, and the same software presumably drives all their cars (up to A/B tests). Unlike in traditional hardware, the cause of these errors is very opaque and difficult to understand (at least for us and possibly the company as well). That makes it plausible that equally dangerous and simple errors still exist.

Imagine if a traditional company had just released a new car model and someone was driving it and the front right wheel just fell off the car. It would be news because it indicates that something very basic was misunderstood by the designers and engineers. You probably wouldn’t want to get in such a car. Now imagine the general reaction is “cars are complex systems, the other three wheels actually did quite well, we fully expect to update the design to keep the front right wheel on in the future.”

We've got a decent amount of experience bringing the whole thing up from scratch, and we build with that in mind. Most of the time in my estimate is for importing the larger detail tables, which we do regularly for our staging environment.
