> It is the age old question of when does a human have standing and a right to life.

Anything that is harmed has standing, human or not, conscious or not. A tree has standing to fight back when it's threatened with an axe. The fetus certainly has standing here. What it lacks is the ability to act on it, or to request or consent to someone else acting on it. Not only physically but developmentally, it lacks the capacity to make conscious, intentional, deliberate choices and take responsibility for the consequences. Likewise for "right to life"—the right to respond with defensive force against aggression which threatens your life. It has the right to defend its own life but not the ability.

> You extended the NAP to requiring direction or awareness from the harmed party…

I didn't "extend" anything. The NAP is a convention which applies only between self-owners, as otherwise action affecting any lifeform (cattle, plants, …), or even non-living matter, without its "consent" (assuming that's even possible) could be read as a violation of the NAP. The question of whether the "harmed party" does in fact have the quality of self-ownership is thus relevant. Whether an entity has self-ownership is determined by its ability (and will) to make choices and take responsibility for their consequences.

This, by the way, is the root of the justification for employing defensive force: Deliberately causing harm to others, or failing to take responsibility for unintended consequences of one's actions, undermines one's status as a self-owner, thus placing one outside the protection of the NAP. The relationship changes from that of two self-owners to that of a human actor and a harmful element of their environment.

> Would the harmed party in this case object if given time and awareness?

Would the tree object to being cut down if we found some way to endow it with consciousness and the ability to communicate? Perhaps, but that isn't the situation we actually find ourselves in, and it won't happen unless someone puts in the effort to make it happen.

> If you shoot someone before they object…? If you poison them secretly, without knowledge to object…?

Obviously they have standing, but that isn't really the point since they're dead and can't do anything about it. They have a (posthumous) right to restitution and retribution in either case. The question is whether they delegated the enforcement of that right to someone else (which could be "anyone" or a specific person or group) before they were killed. If not, that doesn't imply that the victim didn't have a right to live or that it wasn't wrong to kill them, but it does mean it would be wrong for someone else who wasn't harmed to initiate violence unilaterally against their killer, when they can't rationally claim to be acting for the victim in accordance with their wishes.
Polls done in the 90s in the Eastern European countries provide a picture contrary to what you're claiming here.
As an example - Poland (my home country), https://www.cbos.pl/SPISKOM.POL/2022/K_040_22.PDF - 60% of population willing to join NATO in 1999. Only 11% against. You also should consider that support for NATO today is at a level of 94%.
I wish I could restrict it to NOT working everywhere PAM works.

For instance, only face-unlock my screen if it locked for inactivity, and less than 15 minutes ago. If I manually locked it, require password. If I've been gone too long, require password. For sudo and bootup, always require password.

That would make the level of (in)security acceptable to me. In its present state, I don't think it's appropriate.

I think you are misreading the author, their point is all this works by default on Ubuntu and not on Mac with the exception of NFS.

It's not that there are no solutions, it's that the author and as a matter of fact I too resent that we have to look for solutions.

From my point of view when I plug my phone in my linux box it just works but when I plug it in my Mac nothing happens, thus MacOs is an inferior operating system. As in it fails to operate in the manner I would like it to.
You dying to a disease is nobody's fault (usually). You dying to a bad drug is arguably someone's fault, and I suppose there are probably not any number of documents you can sign that will completely abdicate the responsibility for your death from the corporation that created the chemical compound that resulted in your demise.

And probably for good reason? I really don't want to live in a society that gives people the ability to sign their life away so corporations can run scientific experiments on them that have a real chance of death.

I think there are some exceptions to this, but generally it makes sense to not let people go from "dying of a disease" to, "dying of a drug".
Yes. And many others.

If you want to do science of computation, halting problem, P?=?NP, lambda calculus, good. Those are legitimate to study, and to write papers about. But studying them does not prepare you to engineer systems.

But just take a look at chimps and how they treat someone from another tribe (hint: they literally tear them apart).
Do chimps have nationalism?

Uhm, you're right. I'm confusing the issue with something else then.
Man I really want better analytics and UI for my IoT apps at home. Right now the apps we use are in their infancy compared to what they could be. I feel like we are in web 1.0 of the IoT apps. And the issue is I end up relying on such apps quite a bit. For eg I used the awair app to change the ducting for my home because of its air quality sensor. Hoping companies like Kraftful can disrupt this space.

If you're doing frontend stuff and are adding a bunch of assets hosted off a CDN, you can use Subresource Integrity[0] to ensure the JS file is not tampered with in any way. All it takes is some rogue developer to alter the code of JS used on 1M+ sites to do cryptomining or siphon personal data or do XSS.

I know, it's not NodeJS/npm I'm talking about here.

npm/Node needs its own resource integrity type feature where we can cryptographically verify the integrity of packages against a known-good library of packages.

The whole thing seems rather overblown. In terms of natural observations of the world around them and the use of a rational process to measure time, Maoris appear to have done the same kind of things all other cultures have done - made measurements and used astronomical observations to measure time.

Other aspects of the issue seem more like social choice - i.e. 'free-market economic theory' as practiced today is no more 'scientific' or 'mathematically sound' than Maori Matauranga social notions about how best to organize societies and 'pursue happiness' - perhaps they have different notions of what happiness means, is all.
As someone who likes linear black cherry switches this is not an issue. They have no bump.

Why do I like those linear switches? Because you can mash them hard (then you need no bump because the key bottoms out and that is your definite bump) or you can type them close to inaudibly silent. Which is kind of important if you e.g. do audio recordings.

Why black ones? I am a bass player, I have strong fingers and most other linear switches feel to light to me.
Is this your speculation or is that their stated reasoning?

> One point of view arguing for a non-stem degree is that it teaches you to read, write and think. And there is some logic to that thought. Even if you spend 4 years just learning about, say, Sociology, you have to read up on a debate, summarize the background, have an opinion, be challenged and so forth. And you are on your way to 10k hours.

True, but you can also teach yourself to do those things too. For me, the ROI of time/effort/money seems off for almost all degrees other than STEM if you have to borrow money to achieve them.

You seem to have a very specific idea of "defense startup" as something focused on ordnance? munitions? general explosives? Most defense startups are not in that arena, they are in, broadly, information systems, intelligence, and logistics. Others are in communication systems (satellites, radios), cryptography, sensors, drones (these days), etc. Personnel and cargo transport are largely the domain of established players, but if you think you can make a next gen helicopter, ship, ground transport, etc. as a startup it's an option, too.

For all of those, there happens to be a lot of overlap (but not always as steady income) with commercial sectors. Remote sensing, for instance, is big in many industries like oil, agriculture, and even power and telecom (better ways to inspect deployed infra than sending out a person to climb towers or drive along lines through remote regions). So the feast and famine cycle can be mitigated, should defense funding dry up, by dual purposing the systems and the startup's general capabilities.

For the explosives and delivery systems:

The big difference between a defense startup and some nerds blowing things up in the desert would be discipline and proper engineering. Your best bet would be to recruit current or former DoD engineers who already know this stuff, they do it for a living. Either from bigger contractor firms, civil service ranks, or current officers and enlisted (the latter will have a good grasp on the regulations in this situation as a lot of the time they end up tasked with learning and enforcing them). Look to the research labs and existing test ranges to find people. You will also likely end up located at one or more of the various ranges because getting time there will probably be easier than all the environmental assessments you'd have to do to acquire and operate your own range.

The Apple m1 is an SoC, not a CPU. It is not comparable to an AMD 3950X. It is perfectly reasonable to talk about the display capabilities of an SoC, because the GPU and display controllers are built into the SoC.

Apple themselves markets the macbook air as supporting:

> One external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz[1]

And yes, I'm aware of the display link hacks. This works by emulating extra GPUs in software (VGC). The m1 supports multiple displays via display link in the same way MacOs runs Gnome via an Ubuntu VM.

China under Mao was a non-factor.
I fervently disliked Trump and would tell everyone such. I held very strong opinions that Trump DID collude with Russia because that's what the media said. But the hearings nor reports proved that to me and no charges were brought.

The entire thing boils down to people on his campaign meeting or exchanging information with alleged Russian informants and peddling in the WikiLeaks documents.

If that is the standard by which collusion is defined then there are so many guilty parties on both sides including his opposition that the whole system would fall apart.

I will hold my tongue until the Durham investigation concludes but at this point in time it looks like the foundations on which the scandal was developed are highly suspect.

But maybe I'm wrong.

Ha! I feel you, but it’s not tongue in cheek. I almost never use earbuds, and I hate holding my featureless glass slab up to my ear for extended periods. I long for the days of sitting with something actually designed to be held to my ear.

Edit: it’s also part of a general desire to be more untethered from the phone. I wish I could have a classic phone + ringer experience that integrates with my smart phone, so I can just plug the phone in and forget about it once I’m home unless I get a call (for whatever reason my phone’s ringer is not loud enough to be heard throughout the house, and I feel like having something to dock it to would make it easier psychologically to not feel like I have to carry it around with me all the time).
Or maybe if they spent less Russia would have defeated them sooner, the war would be over, people could return home, and there would be no more casualties. Or maybe if they spend(really received from US) less then Russia would not have felt threatened and invaded at all. Perhaps if their military spending had ramped up faster then Putin would have decided to invade sooner.

Also by things like lying us into a war in Iraq or the 2008 bank bailouts where the people who caused the financial crash were all given a bonus and a raise while austerity was pushed on the rest of the economy.

Also letting our infrastructure crumble while spending unlimited amounts of money on Middle East wars, restricting housing supply to lock a generation or two out of housing, allowing two generations to be saddled with unprecedented amounts of student loan debt while tuition goes up unchecked, and so on. I could keep going.

Our political class has lost the peoples' trust because they don't deserve it. They've shown nothing but incompetence and corruption for decades. I'm speaking of both major political parties.

That loss of trust has opened the door to a ton of insane garbage, but the blame for that rests on the political class of the past 50 years for dropping the ball in so many ways.

It's just nuts to me all the examples there are of this basic pattern, where a traditional organic waste pipeline that had worked great for millennia was abruptly ruined in the 20th century by the introduction of plastic trash.

All the major rivers are essentially this— Yangtze, Nile, Ganges, plus a number of indigenous cultures which have disposal practices that very much do not work for long-lived plastic items (tossed off a cliff, etc).
At least in some locations insurance companies may reward you with much lower premiums if you have sufficiently secure locks, alarm systems etc when the value of your contents is high enough (maybe you inherited some valuable art work or something).

It's typically done in thresholds too - start off with a small reduction in premiums, then a big one, then they won't insure you at all unless you fit this stuff.
Downvotes are because you lie. There was no ban on Russian Language.

Azov battalion would never exist if Russia did not invaded in the first place.And funny enough, fascists split there - some of them went to fight for Russia others for Ukraine. Not even speaking about fact that Russia neo-nazi problem is much larger then Ukrainian one, except Russia does not see it as problem and welcomes those guys. Also funny enough, Ukraine did then worked on pushing these guys out of the army, modifying and reforming that batalion in years in between.

Going back to politics, Ukraine joining NATO is not a risk for Russia, the issue there is that Russia then cant invade as it pleases.

Some mechanical keyboards offer a symmetrical layout, and allow the thumb to use more than one key switch. Those are significant advantages for a keyboard user. (Since these are niche keyboards, they incidentally happen to have mechanical switches).

Though, I think most people interested in mechanical keyboards stick to a keyboard with the same layout as the basic membrane keyboard. (Each to their own, I guess).
In the US alone the most recent spending bill allocated another $13.6 billion to Ukraine.

Photoshop is one of those things that easily illustrates how far computers have come.

Anyone who used graphic design software, even well into the PowerPC days, remembers having a tiny preview window to show filters/effects, and then waiting seconds or even minutes for the filter to be applied to the entire image. Yes people, even a blur took a long time in the old days.

The real-time manipulation we have on our phones these days is insane by comparison.

>That's a negative regulation, thee only actor that can violate it is government. It is impossible for a social media platform to violate the cited regulation.

No, they list out exactly what they may censor like porn. Twitter doesn't do that. It's their choice to do less and that's fine. The problem is that they can't do more. That's a positive regulation.

>It's true that if there is another regulation applicable to platform conduct, there are platform actions that would take the platform out of the immunity provided by the cited regulation (but those hypothetical other regulations would also be constrained by the First Amendment, whether or not the Section 230 immunity applied.)

It's a positive regulation because we regulate media more. We say as a publisher you cant do lots of things that say wikipedia or twitter can do. The caveat is that you can't later regulate more so that you basically are a publisher but without the liability. That would break the system.

Something the article missed is that Obama did explain that anything they do can't conflict with free speech. Therefore it's pointless to go more than section 230.
