Lawyer here in Germany. I don’t actually know the answer. However, criminal law and civil law regulate different relationships. Criminal law regulates the relationship between the state and the individual. Civil law regulates the relationships between individuals. Criminal law is bound much more closely by the constitution. Specifically, the state may not punish an individual for engaging in lawful behavior. So while another citizen may raise the objection, “But you chose to drive this two ton machine knowing full well that it was capable to inflict harm on other people even when driven with the greatest care”, the state may not. Also, for civil liability, there is (mandatory) insurance. You, as a driver, do not usually end up paying for this (provided that you have not been negligent in your conduct of the machine). Criminal law, on the other hand, always hits you as the individual. You cannot insure against it. This is to say that, if the same standard were applied in criminal law, nobody could afford to drive a car, or operate any dangerous equipment at all, because one mistake, or even just one instance of bad luck, could land you in prison.

Ah, back in the days when we thought AI was a Simple Matter Of Programming and that logic and analysis were fundamentally harder problems than perception, localisation, cognition and sentience (whatever that particular begged question even means).

Can you expand on the slavery analogy? I'm aware that this is the naive perspective, but when I realized I was watching more TV than I liked, I stopped, and there was no overseer to whip, mutilate, or starve me into resuming.

That isn't to say that it's trivial: I had to identify why I was doing it (I don't even like watching TV!), and then work on myself so that I had the mental energy to replace it with activities I find rewarding, like reading in the park or playing music.

But this sounds more like "making your leisure time fulfilling is a life skill and a mental health challenge", not "leisure time doesn't exist because we're forced to use it on certain things".

At least on Gnome, animation speeds aren't dependent on the aspect ratio of your monitor. macOS is an embarrassment of a system to actually use day-to-day.

I've been looking into UUCP recently and it's pretty awesome.

I really like the "call" model and "hold and forwarding" features of UUCP:

- All that's needed for two systems to exchange data is for one to call the other and it doesn't matter which side does or it how.

- A UUCP node will hold messages received by one node, but intended for another, until it makes/receives a call from the destination system or intermediate.

You can have a "leaf" system that calls into a hub system regularly but never receives calls, and it can still bidirectionally communicate due to the above. It'll be slow depending on the call schedule but it worked in the 70's. :)

It's a lot of work though because you have to specify all your nodes, links, and forwarding manually. You also have to integrate it with your UNIX mailer to get standard mail tools working with it, but it wasn't too hard with postfix.

At this point I think we might as well admit that inflation is 100% caused by greed.

It's funny because all the theories presented in the article - that inflation is caused by mandatory minimum wage, government regulation and taxes - is exactly what a greedy person would suggest.
Of course since every country imports a ton of goods.

Even if I had stable wages and production in my country, if suddenly every trade partner was charging me more for my imports (for example due to supply chain constraints), then my inflation would go up.

It is very stupid to just speak for inflation by looking at one country.

What if the things that were built were built right the first time and take a long time to decay? If you walk around a correctly built city where nothing is falling apart, by this logic, you'd naively think this place was dead and dying.
Most probably not, at least not based on this study.
First of all, GPCRs are a class of many different receptors present in many different cells and with vastly different downstream effects, nothing that could easily be reversed with a targeted pharmacological intervention. Secondly, if there are general anti-GPCR antibodies present, it is most likely that they would inhibit the receptors or lead to damage of the cells expressing the receptors. Activating autoantibodies do exist (a form of hyperthyroidism being a common example) but are not the norm, so additional blocking would not be indicated. I also have some questions about the study as such. First of all, this is only an abstract that doesn’t describe all of their methods, it absolutely doesn’t allow any conclusions. My field of research is not GPCRs so I can’t say whether it’s common in that niche but their choice of using an in vitro rat (this cross-species) cardiomyocyte assay for antibody detection coupled with the absence of a proper control group or seropositivity threshold (at least not mentioned in the abstract) immediately makes me want to see further data before I trust anything described here. Their presentation style also seems confusing to me at a first glance and making it hard to tell what they did. Would have to spend more time on this and with the proper paper to disassemble everything. It also seems odd that they would not investigate this further if they indeed believed it to be involved in Long Covid at the systemic levels but rather chose to publish this in an ophthalmology journal.
> Sad times for men, in this regard.

My wife absolutely loves kids. Being with them and working with them is her career and passion. She will frequently say things about kids to which I respond "another thing I can't say, as a man." It's all in jest, but there's also truth to it. She says something inoccuous that really can't be misconstrued, but if I said the exact same thing, I would at least get interesting looks if not downright condescending glares of "stay away from my baby."

It doesn't bother me, but it is an amusing and also unfortunate double standard.
Current heat pumps can do quite a bit better than that.

Mitsubishi's residential air-source ductless mini-split heat pumps that have their "Hyper-heating inverter" technology, and similar systems from Fujitsu, are still about twice as efficient as electrical resistance heating down to around 0℉. They don’t start getting beat by resistance heating until around -15℉.

Their capacity starts dropping at around 23℉ and would be around 75% at -15℉ so if you need to go below 23℉ you do have to oversize your system.
By that definition, anyone experiencing chronic illness symptoms "following" (said another way, "after") a Covid infection has "Long Covid" - even if Covid had nothing to do with those chronic illness symptoms developing or continuing.

I think we need a better definition.

Good. As an oil importing country, their fuel consumption will keep going lower
> Laws of physics aren't negotiable

Nobody said that. We only need space, matter, energy and knowledge.

This last part is mostly what we're missing now, the limiting factor, as the universe has plenty of space, matter and energy!

> Barring very unlikely breakthroughs humans will remain a single planet species until the sun goes supernova

Hard disagree, as some already have their sight on Mars. We are an ambitious species!

> Again even if more innovation is possible there are only so many people with enough resources to discover them

There're over 7 billion of us, and knowledge diffusion techniques (especially online) mean innovation is accelerating - so the limiting factor won't be limiting for long.

Given than facts don't support your pessimist view, I wonder why you think this way?

Defining inflation as rising prices is the newer, MORE narrow definition as measurements such as CPI are capturing the downstream effects of a fundamental cause (creating money).
Cooking is another good example of how hard it is to separate work and leisure.

Everyone needs to eat, so getting/preparing food is work in some sense. There’s a hobby/leisure component too though: you definitely don’t need to spend two hours every day cooking a perfect coq au vin or visiting farm stands to find the tastiest, most interesting produce. On the gripping hand, doing the absolute bare minimum (Soylent or pot noodles or whatever) might be okay for a little while, but many people don’t find it physically or mentally sufficient for the long term either.

You can say that one has sore throat, or fever, or fatigue, or headache.

But if you say one has long COVID, you are describing a condition (possibly a new illness, but not yet?) with a wide range of symptoms that occur in different combinations in different people, it seems fine to ask for clarification about what sets it apart other than having gone through acute COVID (natural question, as a person who has gone through acute COVID can still subsequently fall ill with an illness unrelated to COVID).

It is sufficiently vague that I have the same question each time I see the term. Maybe this subthread-starter was sincere?
I am not a historian, but to tie world wars to gold standard is very very questionable. Weimar Germany failed due to a variety of reasons (reparations etc) but also because they printed away ie QE to "save the economy". Hitler rose on the promise of a radically better future.

The fall of empires in history can quite literally be traced in the % of gold in their coinage Eg. Byzantine, Rome. The problem with history is that one can claim fiat led to the Iphone and that users of gold in the 1500s had bubonic plague, but these links are very tenuous. Humans continue to make progress in science and tech. Revolutions were a result of crumbling economies that lost accountability to their own people. The 2 world wars were fought on debt and broke the gold standard[1]. All wars since have been debt wars [2]. Comparing gold to fiat is in my opinion similar to capitalism vs communism. Do people live on communism - yes. Does the system free up the market to chase efficiency - no. Similarly, making the Govt accountable and free market-y (ie not allowing them to dilute everybody's money via printing which is a hidden tax) will in my opinion bring about a step change in human progress

I am glad you bring up the interest rate price control part. I agree. That's one piece of the free market that is missing. The other is the gold standard making the Govt responsible in its spending instead of passing relief acts that package a ton of $ to unrelated expenditures under the name of helping families with children.

At the end of 1970, the USA had an annual inflation rate of 5.8% and today, the annual inflation rate is 8.3%. Source:

That was considered such a problem that Nixon's economic team took some radical actions (wiki)

> "Nixon issued Executive Order 11615 (pursuant to the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970), imposing a 90-day freeze on wages and prices in order to counter inflation. This was the first time the U.S. government had enacted wage and price controls since World War II."

In the current world, there's an additional major factor: exports of refined products (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel) and natural gas from the USA abroad, while very profitable for the refinery operators, are driving up prices domestically. Hence, another radical action that could be taken would be to raise export tariffs or actually ban these exports. This would drive down prices domestically and reduce the knock-on effects that high fuel prices have on delivery of food and other products.

As far as Milton Friedman, that clown was never anything but a propaganda sock puppet for Wall Street, just like Alan Greenspan. Their idiotic theories gave rise to the 2008 economic collapse, and anyone recycling their discredited propaganda at this point in time is only making a fool of themself.
You don't need autonomous cars for that to happen. Many cities turn some of their downtown streets into pedestrian streets in the summer and it forces cars to wait to cross at intersections.

Sorry, what is this a parallel to? Hyper-inflation in Germany was due primarily to war debts denominated in foreign currency, and massive reparations imposed by the Treaty of Versailles, which forced Germany to purchase foreign currency at ever increasing prices.

Which has no way of acknowledging false positives [1] except by turning it off completely (in which case it will start spamming you to please re-enable it).

[1] An app that for rooted phones allows mounting the external SD card as a mass storage device instead of via MTP [2] unfortunately doesn't work with SELinux enabled, so it automatically offers to turn it off (and later back on) for you, which for Play Protect is apparently enough to classify it as highly suspicious.
[2] MTP is just plain awful – slow, can only do one operation at a time, doesn't preserve file dates, limited compatibility, sometimes doesn't show all files because it's based on Android's media scanner database instead of the physical file system contents, etc. etc.
I'm also curious if they have any plans on memory safety. If it's based on Swift and Rust, perhaps they'll do RC?

Yes it’s a guaranteed error in Vale, but the error may cause UB in the application logic. This won’t happen in Rust because the program won’t compile if a use-after-free is possible.
I was on this boat too, building hackintoshes, etc until the M1 came out. I refused to ever buy an actual Apple machine, especially since work gives me one to use for work/coding. I'm sold on the m1 though, miraculous little device, love my 14" powerhouse. M1 max, 64gb ram..

I read this book when it came out and once or twice since. Highly recommend it.

The minimalist bit of the title does mislead some people into thinking it preaches "get rid of everything digital". But in practice, it is much more nuanced and helpful than that.

The quote you extracted sums it up perfectly, it's much more about not passively embracing everything about everything digital. But more about only taking what's worthwhile from those platforms.
If there is a public tool, which checks for Pegasus, NSO will simply modify Pegasus to evade such a trivial detection. I would even assume that every Pegasus-infection is pretty unique due to mutations between every sample.

I want at least a few extra decades to learn more deeply the subjects I’m interested in and to undertake more projects, technical and artistic.

I think it is pure speculation to say that we would become apathetic in as little as a few centuries, which to our current lifespan seems an unfathomable amount of time, but in the grand scheme of things is still exceedingly short. We might continue to develop further beautiful and fulfilling depth that is unreachable given the measly few decades of youthful energy we have today.

I spend a lot of my effort learning about and exercising my health. I’m wagering a bit of my energy now on catching the wave of advancing health and longevity research later. Some day I believe it will likely be possible for a person to ride this wave through extra healthy decades, catching scientific advances just in time to rewind their ticking clock by a few years, a few times or even indefinitely. It might be a pipe dream, but I think it’s worth a shot. If this doesn’t come true for me, I will at least likely have a longer than average healthspan.

I admit that perhaps the human brain and psyche have not evolved for happiness and fulfillment beyond our disappointingly short deadline. Still, I have to wonder whether the psychological disengagement and decay that we observe in many of our elderly would be different given prolonged health of body and brain.

Looks like a thorough analysis, but I question the use of "bs=1m". Author says they verified that "dd was correctly only using a one meg buffer", but "bs" is more than just a buffer, it's the "count" that read()s are issued in. As in "read(fd, 1000000);" for the syscall.

I don't know about MacOS, but in the distant past I found that using larger "bs" values tended to cause my Linux machines to behave sluggishly, particularly when interacting with very slow media like USB sticks or SD cards. I tend to use "bs=32k" at the largest because it offers good performance while also limiting sluggishness. Using too small a value limits throughput because you spend so much time issuing read() calls and looping.

I'm sure the author isn't going to set up that environment again just to run a test, but it would be interesting to know if a smaller bs value would have had any change in this environment.
