That person, and, sadly, now you too, are completely wrong. What the host knows or does not know is completely irrelevant. Imagine:

You are playing the classic Monty Hall problem. You pick door 1. Monty reveals a goat behind door 2. Monty asks if you want to switch. You know the correct strategy is to switch, so you are about to say "Yes - switch" when suddenly, the lights dim and announcer's voice booms over the speakers "You thought Monty was knowingly revealing something to you, but actually Monty just revealed a door at random. He had no foreknowledge." Are you now ambivalent about switching or staying?

If you still want to switch, and you should, that's because obviously it does not matter what Monty knew going into the problem. If you don't want to switch, please explain how the contents of Monty's brain affect the probability of which door conceals a car and which a goat.
Hiding abuse from the end user only stops direct forms of abuse, but it won't stop all abuse. Revenge porn is a classic example because that is usually directed at everyone in a target's life without needing to reach the target themselves.

Imagine a scenario in which the target uses a client that aggressively hides content. However since this system is protocol based, other users would be using clients that aren't as aggressive. What happens if an abuser responds to every post their target makes with a revenge porn image? Maybe the victim of the abuse never sees that image because of their clients settings, but numerous people following them do. Isn't that still abuse even if the target doesn't see it? How do you stop this type of indirect abusive behavior without some centralized authority?

> The American constitution, of course, does not bind the EU in any way.

I think this is a little bit naive (I mostly agree with you fwiw). America and the EU influence one another a lot. Decisions they make directly affect the other. GDPR affected most Americans. Or even things like the Double Irish. Similarly American laws define a lot for European ways of life (I figure this is more obvious). I think it is easy to ignore this connection, but it happens and is important.

Considering that the Florida governor's approval rating has gone up the more he picks on minorities and LGBTQ individuals, it's pretty clear that the governor's stance is shared by the overwhelming majority of Floridians, and I'm within my rights to think that the people who overwhelmingly think that my nephew is a freak are all horrible people.

And it is not even true, most cities in Florida are democrats, but IMO that shouldn't matter.

That is objectively false. Only the Miami-Dade metropolitan area in Florida leans blue.

Nothing wrong with it though. They have the rights to the tournaments and there's no obligation for the PGA to allow non-members in (with the exception of what they have setup for amateurs to compete in some tournaments)

Some of the tournaments, even being a PGA member you aren't entitled to play in. You have to earn exemptions or be at the top of the money list.

As a member of a youth sport league a long time ago, I was not allowed to participate in money tournaments even though I wanted to. I see no issue with guilds/clubs having rules. And I see no issue with some of the pros jumping ship to another league.

There are valid concerns with the PGA:

- how they share money

- the fact that they own the rights to the player's images/videos/etc

Those need to be addressed.

And I don't think banning players for doing other tournaments is the way to go, but I think it is within the right as their organization has had terms and rules for their members forever.

The only nuclear plant under construction in the US is at Plant Vogtle, in Georgia. Regulators set up a system (CWIP) whereby the companies building the plant earn a 10% return on their costs, until the plants come online. I think it's not surprising therefore that costs keep increasing and the delays keep coming. I don't think we can infer that nuclear power plants cannot be built at reasonable cost, rather that we need to consider "regulatory capture" as a significant construction risk.

(Some admittedly one-sided background on CWIP: https://stopcwip.com/ )

> the competency is not allowed to spread. there's a thick shroud of secrecy around how all this sophisticated technology comes about.
>
> This is also why semiconductors are so difficult.

The dirty secret is that all factories are hard to build because nobody knows all the details to make them work.

It's that simple.

People bring operative knowledge to bear in the running of a factory. Over time, that knowledge becomes baked into the procedures, equipment, maintenance and people.

This is, in my opinion, something that everybody overlooks about nuclear. Power plants and factories need to evolve and optimize over time to be successful.

Nuclear plants get encased in amber and can't do that. I understand why people don't want to allow that. However, I really think that this inability to evolve will doom any large scale nuclear reactor design. Probably the only way that nuclear becomes successful is very small, semi-sealed power plants as the whole plant evolves at the manufacturing facility rather than at the site.

> I find it quite suggestive that most of the tech used to make the semiconductors is owned european companies.

This is hardly surprising. They're spinouts of the big conglomerates from the 1980s (ASML is from Philips, no?). These conglomerates didn't exist in Japan (maybe--MITI was funding the hell out of things in Japan in the early 1980s so my memory may be off), China, etc. back when this stuff was getting started and spun out.

TSMC is actually the anomaly. It took a very determined effort with a lot of money being shoveled around by the government combined with a disgruntled TI executive of Chinese background and all of his knowledge and contacts to put it all together.

One of the most pro-Republican states is Wyoming, state population around 581,000 in 2020. If we consider Trump voters as a proxy for people who might want to secede, we have about 235,000 people who voted for Trump out of about 427,000 eligible. That's about 55% of eligible voters and 40% of the whole population. Even if secession were legal, it would be unjust to let a state secede with only 40% support.

A more viable attempt at secession might look like: perhaps a new Hawaiian independence party forms with massive (>80%) and sustained (>20 years) on-the-ground support, with all federal representatives coming from this party. Eventually this party might convince the federal and enough state governments to support a constitutional amendment recognizing a specific independence referendum. That's very theoretical but I hope illustrates what actual secession might look like.

I mean you're wrong. We've been doing mail in ballots for decades. It's what the entire military uses. It's been under a microscope for the last 20 years of republican election conspiracy mongering and no one has found a flaw. Like I posted earlier, a Congressional committee spent a year looking for wrong votes (fraud or errors) and found absolutely nothing.

And you're also underestimating how many people feel utter existential dread at the prospect of another Trump term. He was if not the worst president in our history, he was assuredly the worst person to be president. We were only spared a worse outcome because he is so incredibly inept and stupid. I would vote for the slumped husk of Jimmy Carter if he ran against Trump.
> Converting half of the presidio of GG park

There is no “presidio of GG park”; Golden Gate Park (a city park, and the third most visited urban park in the US) and the Presidio of San Francisco (a national park on the grounds of a former Spanish, then Mexican, then US military base) are different things.

Converting the Presidio is outside of San Francisco’s scope of legal options, converting half of GG park to low-cost housing is legally possible for the city, but fiscally dubious.
Both, maybe mostly words.

I think there are other remedies that would be more palatable. Perhaps making it illegal for ad networks to advertise on stolen content and let Rogers and Bell sue the ad networks that do so. Perhaps requiring Rogers and Bell to sue the pirates directly?

But the solution of turning off parts of the internet by blocking I.P.s which could block large parts of the internet if for example a pirate uses cloud flare is unacceptable.

It’s also problematic that it could end up blocking all kinds of locally hosted content from any number of ISPs using dynamic IPs. Your IP could end up blocked and other ISPs would prohibit video games from connecting to you because someone else used the same I.P. for some type of content piracy earlier.

There are stable and unstable Lagrange points.

The L4 and L5 Lagrange points are stable. Objects orbiting near those will tend to remain near that point. Well-known examples of these are the Trojan asteroids, in the orbit of Jupiter, at the L4 and L5 points of the Jovian-Solar orbit.

L2, near which JWST orbits, is an unstable point. The JWST must continuously expend propellant to "drive uphill" toward the point (it orbits nearer Earth than the actual Lagrange point). At end of life, a final burn will drive the satellite beyond the point, from which it will eventually drift into a solar orbit.

Other orbiting material similarly will fail to aggregate near the L2 point.

As I understand, the L2 (beyond Earth), L1 (between Earth and Sun), and L3 (opposite side of Earth, behind the Sun) are all unstable liberation points.

That said, plans for structures at L4 / L5 might want to consider the general attractor property of those orbits.

It's a good question, and I'm dismayed to see the various knee-jerk reactions to it. Seems to get caught up in the pro/anti-Tesla/Musk/blah noise. No, thank you.

Here's the thing - people get in accidents all the time when assistance features like ABS, lane keeping, traction control, TACC, good-old-fashioned dumb cruise control, etc. are actively altering the vehicle's performance and behavior.

So when we consider Tesla's AP system, it's really just TACC + lane keeping. Something that is common on a wide variety of vehicles today. Why then is Tesla specifically being focused on? All these other systems have similar failure modes, including, but not limited to: Not stopping for a stopped vehicle far ahead, not slowing for or avoiding objects in or near the lane, etc.

These are assistance features. Thus, in all of these scenarios, it is likely that chief responsibility for the accident lies with the human behind the wheel. We should be studying all OEM systems, not just Tesla's. And specifically, we should be looking at whether the system made the situation worse through its actions than if it had taken no action (akin to a distracted human driving on dumb cruise control).

If it is the case that a Tesla on AP will ram right in to a firetruck flashing its lights while stopped in the lane directly ahead, it is quite likely that many other systems do the same. We just don't really talk about them, because it casually falls under the realm of "human wasn't paying attention". They're not special. We all sort of implicitly accept that. But when it's a Tesla, it's special.

In any case, we'll get over it eventually. This technology is not unique to Tesla and will only become more commonplace. It will continue to get better at avoiding things despite the hoards of distracted drivers.
