Actually SCOTUS disagrees with you. Rights are not absolute. Speech is not absolute, nor is the right to bear arms.

>In its decision, authored by Justice Antonin Scalia, the Supreme Court was careful to stress the limited nature of its ruling. Writing for the majority, Justice Scalia noted: “Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. [It is] not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.”

Individual rights are subject to regulation, and in general, the idea here is the minimum regulation necessary to maximize the utility of the right for everyone. What happened here is by affirming gun ownership as a basic right as speech is a basic right, the responsibility part can now be sorted out over time as it has been done for speech.

Go read the decisions. It's in there. With rights come responsibilities. And that is, in my view, exactly the right thing to do.

We have a few limits on speech, for example. There is criminal speech.

There are a few limits on gun ownership. And those will generally pass the courts given their scope and purpose is as described above. There is criminal gun ownership.

Now, to be clear here, I am not advocating any restrictions whatsoever. No means tests, no licenses, nothing of the sort.

Just education. In particular, the same education I got, and that many get as part of their gun ownership experience. Not talking about licenses or anything. Just education. Ownership would not be predicated on said education.

Surely you are not advocating we fail to educate people who are carrying deadly weapons around? I've passed my own on, and have saved lives. Frankly, having had it, my own life was saved at least once. And the stats play out favorably. Just educating people, and doing nothing else, improves on the injury and death stats we face today.

The goal of said education?

The people will self-regulate to a far more effective degree than we currently see today, and that is all.

You appear to be advocating a free for all, and that's not at all what SCOTUS did. Nor should they.

I’m happy for Wil that he got the louder voice when his parents gaslighted and bullied him, and lied about it, and that he didn’t end his life as a teenager.

It seems to me that the backstory ends here. Maybe releasing an autobiographical sequel here won’t make his mom turn around, but at least he didn’t crack. Kudos.
>Neither of those would stand much chance of being more effective than a firearm

One guy with a truck managed to kill more people than even the deadliest shooting in the US.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Nice_truck_attack

The deadliest arson attack on a nightclub in the US killed nearly 2x as many people vs the deadliest shooting at a nightclub. And again, more people than the deadliest shooting in the US _ever_.

This is a bit misleading. One missed payment doesn't lead your score to drop by so much. I'm assuming you never found out about it and it went to collections because you never paid the bill for a year or more.
> We certainly don't want to perpetuate harmful stereotypes. But is it a flaw that the model encodes the world as it really is, statistically, rather than as we would like it to be? By this I mean that there are more light-skinned people in the west than dark, and there are more women nurses than men, which is reflected in the model's training data. If the model only generates images of female nurses, is that a problem to fix, or a correct assessment of the data?

If the model only generated images of female nurses, then it is not representative of the real world, because male nurses exist and they deserve to not be erased. The training data is the proximate causes here, but one wonders what process ended up distorting "most nurses are female" into "nearly all nurse photos are of female nurses" something amplified a real world imbalance into a dataset that exhibited more bias than the real world, and then training the AI bakes that bias into an algorithm (that may end up further reinforcing the bias in the real world depending on the use-cases).

I think you misunderstand where the cheating happens.

It's not about cheating the trades or the market, it's about a client saying "btw I have a massive factory that's producing 10 million widgets per hour" on release day.

Factory simulation needs to happen server-side. You can't trust the client to have followed the rules on resource mining and factory building.

> It assumes that consumers are selecting shopping sites based on which payment service the sites use rather than on, say, price or selection.

I think the way to interpret that comment is that if the killer had simply gotten into a fist fight after class, like many of us here (including me) did to resolve disputes, things probably would've gone differently.

I was viciously bullied from 3rd grade through 6th and eventually stopped it through physical violence. The guy who bullied me (we exchanged black eyes on multiple occasions) ended up being one of my best childhood friends and I attended his father's funeral last year after he was killed in a tragic accident. Fighting amongst boys is normal.
Uh no, I'm just saying license and registration is irrelevant to the question of whether "We need gory pictures from the executed kids everywhere". We already have license and registration requirements for cars, but if stopping gory deaths is my motivation then license and registration requirements would not be enough to placate me, it would effectively be a call for tougher restrictions, so I decided to focus on the tougher restrictions on cars that was suggested (eg related to drunk driving).

> I kind of suspect few people actually want 1-click checkout to begin with.

This.

I trust Amazon almost implicitly. I know that they have all my information, and that I use the same shipping and payment method every single time. There should be no reason for 1-click checkout to not work perfectly every time.

And even there, I don't use it. I dunno. Is it really that much more effort to look at one more screen and get the feeling of security that the item is going to the right place and will get there on a day that makes sense?

If Amazon can't get me to use 1-click, No other merchant/retailer has any hope whatsoever.

It works for digital items (iTunes, Kindle) because the delivery is "to me, in the UX i'm using right now", not a physical item that has to come to an address.
no. youtube does it way better
> They didn't brush him off.

I disagree, the "for boring technical reasons..." is as close to a brush-off as I can see. This is a technical issue tracker, why not be open and honest about the reasons? I feel like these days people just seem to take it on faith that "Oh, it's Google, surely they know best when they say it's a mysterious technical issue that's too hard to solve".

Also, banning someone from the issue tracker in violation of their own CoC does not seem like good faith behavior either.

Note that the message from 'FiloSottile does not clearly spell out whether DeVault's ban was following a CoC, it just obliquely quotes some nasty stuff that he's apparently said in the past. I think other commenters are correct to call it irrelevant, it's about as relevant as it would be if I started randomly quoting Rob Pike's notorious comments about syntax highlighting [1].

Overall, I totally acknowledge the Golang team is providing a workaround that will solve the (admittedly abrasively spoken) user's problems. What I'm saying is that that is not enough. If you want an open language that will not turn into .NET, you have to do better by your community and also be transparent as to how and when you're planning to solve your users' problems. And preferably also be transparent about CoC bans, especially if there is a technical discussion involved.

For example, this sounds like a reasonable response to me:

"We have written up a task to make our proxy code parse robots.txt correctly, but there are N other tasks above it, and it looks like we won't be able to work on it for approximately the next six months. Until then, a workaround is..."

> That’s your only citation and hardly a compelling one to back up your claim that the US has a far lower crime rate thanks to all the guns

We have your comment which dishonestly claims that link was related to the claim about crime rates — when it clearly wasn’t.

The distinction is meaningful because gun restrictions tend to target rifles, when they’re hardly used in crimes.
I have OTC, and it's not quite what I'm looking for. OTC is all about market manipulation and being extremely strategic on which plots you buy. And a single round is short, I'm looking for something you'd play for hours, and the market would look like a crypto exchange, but instead of coin pairs, it's item/resource pairs.
> I'm sorry, but the shockingly common belief that C's ternary operator has anything at all to do with branchless code being emitted is completely unhinged from reality.

Not sure what you're sorry about. The author doesn't seem to have made that mistake. It's not even a few paragraphs in before he says:

"One way that seems natural to get the compiler to generate branchless code is to use the ternary operator, but that does not work."

and later:

"Both GCC and Clang generate IR with branches for ternary operators (even with no side effects),"

Did you read any of the article? It doesn't really go into a lot of depth, but what's "shockingly common" is people who comment without reading.
Box cutters for airplane hijacking was a once-off event that would simply never be repeated even if cockpit doors hadn't been hardened against hostile takeover. Now, passengers simply would fight. The expectation was, I believe, that they would be taken as hostages, not killed in a suicide attack.

Having children is generally a timebound thing. As can be a career, often within the same time period as raising children. It's not like people can retire and think "OK, time to have kids!" This conjunction inevitably creates tension and exhaustion.

Being an engaged parent is great fun, but it's intensive. Trying to be an engaged parent while juggling a heavy workload is especially difficult; people find solace at the office because almost anything is easier. In an era where work follows you everywhere - I work past midnight most nights when the kids are sleeping and for parts of most weekends - the tension is hard to escape.

I don't think most people don't want or resent their kids, just that it's another thing pulling you in more directions.

Do you have kids of your own?

Actually the price is all that matters. Nuclear is the most expensive way to produce energy. Too expensive really. Even for base load. Pumped hydro can provide a lot of spare capacity and is actually pretty common, low tech, and cheap to do in some areas. Most of existing capacity is quite old. But still delivering tens of GW of power and about 0.5 twh per year.

Cost is the main reason for nuclear plants to be closed. The companies operating them have to make a profit and that's hard when your competition runs circles around you in terms of cost and undercut your pricing to the point where you are losing money. Keeping aging, expensive nuclear plants open costs a lot of money and requires continuous investments. It simply can't be done without tax payer money and a state protected monopoly on prices.

In my experience, layoffs almost always happen in waves. The first layoff is usually when nonperformers and people who are already on managers' hit lists (people who are hard to fire only for legal reasons) are jettisoned. Later rounds start eating into actually valuable employees. In the interim, many experienced people read between the lines and make for the exits, further depleting the ranks and leaving behind folks who can not or will not look for opportunities elsewhere.
