If the requirement to be narrow and time limited is not codified in law (which afaik it is not) it is pretty much guaranteed such broad searches will happen. All it takes is convincing a judge.

If the past has taught us anything it's that law enforcement will use any tool to the maximium of what is allowed and then beyond (e.g. coerced phone searches, racially motivated stop and search, drug dogs to force vehicle searches, privately sourced licence plate tracking and face recognition, criminal DNA testing from rape kits, forced biometric collection and more).
Awesome! How do you plan to monitor and enforce this?
That it's certainly a valid thought with the information we have, and is being thought about, but requires further investigation to make an affirmative statement.
It's not all possible users. It's all actual users.

Facebook isn't valuable because anyone on Earth could use it. It is valuable because people do use it and its value has the network effects.

Coins trading at 0 USD have no users, thus their value is 0.

Money must have inherent value (at least the capability of being traded) for it to be money.
Dropbox is a useful service. The comment about 'bit torrent' makes little sense. Having cloud storage 24/7 high availability has utility. (Yes, if the interent were designed a bit different, that config might be slightly different, but there'd be some value in Dropbox in there somehow).

Bitcoin has no utility.

It has the 'promise' of utility, which is the current utility it rests upon, making the underlying value quite difficult to determine.

If BTC were to dissapear, the world wouldn't skip a beat, and we would have no need to 'reinvent' BTC.

We would likely to continue to think about and experiment with other things, but as it stands so far, BTC isn't the solution to anything.

Easy for us to say, it's not our jobs being lost.

If we really cared about getting this done, we'd simply pay ~$30B/year (0.14%) to enter a contract to buyout 100% of US coal production, and avoid it getting burned.

The problem is that China would simply replace that production, netting zero for the environment.
> if you have 51% of the bill or such you can get it replaced

What if it's the middle third of the bill that's missing? Does the 51% need to be contiguous? The links suggest that you only need 51% in total, even if the bill was shredded.

Concretely: Could you take 1/3 from opposite ends of two different bills and present the pieces as 2/3 of three different bills to turn two old bills into three new ones? Putting aside the fact that this would be fraud, of course. Someone must have tried it at some point.

The US just needs to require other countries' ships to meet higher standards as a condition of docking. As someone who lives in LA and has to breathe the disgusting smog that these foreign freighters belch for weeks near port, the last thing I want is for even MORE dirty ships to show up. But then, the LA and Long Beach port authority don't even enforce the rules they currently have that require the ships to plug in so that they don't just burn unfiltered fuel oil for days on end. We pay a HUGE price for the rest of the country to get their cheap consumer crap.

“The person(s) in charge of a clinical trial or a scientific research grant. The PI prepares and carries out the clinical trial protocol (plan for the study) or research paid for by the grant. The PI also analyzes the data and reports the results of the trial or grant research. Also called principal investigator.”

I think if you made two buckets labeled "sex" and "politics" a majority of well-regarded films from all of the 20th century, right back to the beginning of film, would land in at least one of the two. Lots would qualify for both.

A person in Wyoming doesn't have equal representation in the house as a person in California, by quite a large margin. The house is not representative in practice.

As I said in another branch of this conversation, the use of the filibuster on nearly all bills of any significance (budgets and confirmations aside) in the Senate (and the chilling effect it's had on even bringing other bills to the floor) means that states are not represented equally either. The most obstructionist states have substantially more legislative power than the ones that want to actually pass bills. This is obviously more abstract, but it's pretty clear that in practice states are not equal in the senate.
We could’ve just put federal gov satellite offices there. Train these folks for white collar jobs the federal gov will always need (IRS, SSA, VA, etc). It’s not that many people, there are more people who work at Arbys than in the coal industry.
I stuck with Vim for a long time. I had friends that made the jump and honestly, around version 0.4.3, it still didn't seem to offer anything I cared about. So I stuck with my decade old .vimrc. I had started to get into CoC stuff, and NeoVim was just starting to release their native LSP integration. On a whim, I decided to give it a shot. I ended up sticking with it. Now there'd have to be a heck of a good reason for me to go back. I never enjoyed VimL. Any of the personal plugins I've written, I've had to struggle through writing. While Lua isn't the most amazing language either, I do like it far more. I feel like NeoVim's ecosystem is pushing the boundaries far more than Vim but, isn't that kinda what Vim wanted? They want to remain the conservative slow-moving text-editor. There's nothing wrong with that at all!

The only spam I get is from some insurance company out of Florida. For whatever reason they won't stop calling. Everybody else stopped calling because I would always pick up and always try and worm my way through the system, and once caught or bored, then start questioning their moral character and their family's opinions of their life choices, or my favorite, why they choose to scam people (they always say they don't!).

The call volume went way down after a while.

Linear & Shortcut are both significantly better. Linear isn't even in the same realm as Jira in quality and productivity; its like comparing Excel to Jira, yeah you can make Excel work but you'd be out of your mind to use it for something like project management. Similarly, with the advent of Linear; you'd be out of your mind to greenfield on Jira. Why not spin up OracleSQL and write your app in C++ while you're at it?

Gitlab & Github issues is also pretty solid. Lightweight, but it works for what it does.

Asana is another decent competitor, though I don't tend to recommend them for project management. Its there though.

I've organized some small software teams using Notion. Its surprisingly functional. The big downside is the lack of universal structure or a decent API to even build your own analytics against; great for the ICs, but not great for managers.

> Environmentalists have long said desalination harms ocean life, costs too much money and energy, and the plant would soon be made obsolete by water recycling.

Well if that's true then awesome, let's get busy recycling water and "soon" we won't need to desalinate!

I actually wonder (yes, I'm not an expert) whether at some point drinking water will be valuable enough that you could profitably build a desalination plant in international waters and then deliver the water in tanks to the thirsty citizens who can pay for it. If you bottled at the source, maybe it wouldn't be more expensive than importing from France or Fiji?

When you join GitHub you accept their ToS which among many things gives them the rights to use your code for stuff like Copilot. Theoretically (although I'm not sure of this is the case, looks like no one does right now) Microsoft would have to change the way they handle code licenses in their training set if they were to use code hosted elsewhere, giving attribution to code from MIT licenses and not using AGPL code at all.

I shouldn't say more overall, but the difference among people who have a similar diet and circumstances, but differ by housing culture, would be interesting to observe. I'd like to see apples to apples, if indeed the theorized reason of where gut differences come from is strictly (or mostly) urban vs. rural. Is it that country people are around more dirt, or that city people have different stressors, or maybe both are included? It'd be easier to tell if other differences are eliminated, imo. I've long preferred country life, having spent roughly half of my life in cities and the other half in the country, so maybe some personal interest is there too, to be honest. I do feel a lot healthier living in the countryside, perhaps my gut has something to do with that.
Any references to its documentation?
It's the diet.

City dwellers tend to eat a lot more unhealthy foods. They also eat a lot less vegetables, fruit and nuts than their rural country(wo)men.

You want more microbes in your gut? Eat more plant-based food.
Freight shipping has always struck me as hardly improved for the sailors since medieval times.

There's no law on a ship -- after all, how are you going to call the police if the other sailors rob & beat you? The owners can abandon you in a foreign port without paying you, and there is literally no national authority that gives a shit. They can register the ship "under the flags of Panama, Liberia and the Marshall Islands" as people here said, which means... well, I'm not sure what all it means beyond "no regulations."

IANAL, but it seems to me that airlines and even freight airlines are not nearly as awful as shipping. Maybe maritime law should change to that legal regime.
Please just do a little Google/Wikipedia on Adam Smith.

Everyone trying to do 'their own stuff' is basically, stupid.

We gain immensely by the division of labour: the cobbler makes the shoes, the farmer grows food, the banker manages money. Were you to try to 'make your own iPhone in your back yard' you would fail.

We are 'rich' because of this.

Otherwise, we'd be literally feral monkeys.

Bitcoin has little to do with 'control or surveillance'.

You do not need to 'hold' USD in order to live. You just need to use USD in a 'current account' for purposes of transaction. In that context, monetary policy should not matter that much to you - or even frankly anything the Fed does.

If you only buy dollars when you need the to do something else, then frankly, everything about the USD should be basically irrelevant.

And you can still do most things in cash, if you really want. You can put your USDs under your bed, in the closet if you want.
You're welcome. First of all thanks for your kind and welcoming response.

It's an interesting debate for sure. When a program is divided into many functions, and when there are many utility functions, the debate indeed gets blurry. Moreover, many of the open projects in today's world are web applications and "simple" in nature.

In this context, simple means that the application can be composed via many simple, relatively general functions with a unique asset set and unique way of connecting them, so the magic (or sauce if you pardon the term) gets more abstract.

On the other hand, we have another group of programs, which can be similarly called "complex" programs. The biggest difference is these programs use complex, one of a kind functions.

Consider Blender, KiCAD, many open source and GPL licensed scientific software, libraries like Eigen, video/audio encoders, CD/DVD tools. Even a three liner in these programs and libraries can be a game changer.

I have a research oriented code, and a ~25 line function in this is worthy of its paper. I published a paper, and didn't obfuscate the language and algorithm, so you can implement it if you want.

However, if I open the code of this algorithm with AGPL3, can you say it's too small to be licensed? I don't think so. A more general algorithm can be ruled out as "too simple", but "fast_inverse_square_root" or my function or any other math heavy secret sauce can't be excluded because it's 2-3 lines.

As a result, while this issue needs serious discussion, we need to understand that even a small piece of code can carry a lot of research, knowledge and advantage in itself, regardless of its size.

So, while lifting a left pad from a GPL code can be understandable up to a certain point, getting the secret sauce, improving it and keeping it closed or merging into a similar, but incompatibly licensed software is inexcusable.

At the end of the day, this means we need to defend our GPL codebases, because we can't protect our secret sauce functions without defending the simpler ones.
Doing nothing is also an option! I'm not aware of an indigestion epidemic among city dwellers.

Being told to do something is not sufficient, especially when multi-billion dollar industries are behind it.
It could be also argued that if Vim wanted to keep the community together they could have just deprecated vimscript and adopted Lua.

Of course I am stretching things a little, I know.

I personally think Neovim's reasons for a fork are valid. They wanted some parts, not others, and they were willing to pull the work. So a fork is made. That is all ok. If my memory serves both projects have interchanged patches and improvements in both directions, so everyone has benefitted in some ways. The community (communities) will live on.

It depends on the teacher.

I did not get along with Mr. Proulx, the CS teacher at my high school. He was originally trained to teach math and had a very one-track approach to computing. He used to argue with me about the value of computer graphics, computer networking, computer-mediated communication, storytelling, etc. and try to redirect me to other uses of the PDP-8 we had.

In college John Shipman was the best CS teacher, he was not a professor, but he shuttled between Socorro, NM and silicon valley, sometimes teaching in a low cost town and other times working for a startup. This was when a 386 PC was a really nice computer. I took his class in C and his class in TeX, each of which was a 1 credit course that worked you harder than most 3 credit courses -- but you're here there to learn and you do it.

I studied Physics and Math dual major, and the math major included most of the math computer scientists take such as Combinatorics and Logic both of which I thought were a lot of fun. I skipped the introductory course in PASCAL because I was experienced as a programmer and substituted a class in comparative programming languages which was also 100% fun.

I have a friend who is a CS professor at a small Christian college who is focused entirely on the welfare of his students including their complete flowering as human beings. Both of us know professors at the uni I work at who are famous for their research. He told me that he thought they were not as dedicated as he is to undergraduate teaching, and that's kinda true because the big fish professor is going to be pretty busy hustling grants and writing undergraduate textbooks, administering people, etc.
It's not meant to, but the Pico board comes with 8MiB of flash, so it is at least conceivable, even if not sensible, that someone gets Linux to run there (with a healthy dose of execute-in-place trickery).

But why? It (well, the Pico board at least) already runs Python ;^)
I wasn't up on this, so looked it up. Apparently they narrowed the definition of what "counts as an autodialer" to effectively open a large exemption for devices that you or I would consider an autodialer. As long as the autodialer doesn't store numbers sequentially or generate them randomly it is exempt. e.g. if you have a list of non-sequential phone numbers, you can autodial to your heart's content.

I thought this post explained it reasonably well: https://www.manatt.com/insights/newsletters/tcpa-connect/the...
People are seeing the big picture. That's all the more reason to make sure that, as new tools get developed, they treat it as a requirement to actually respect Open Source (licensing, credit, provenance, copyleft, patent non-aggression, and all the other reasons people use such licenses), rather than just abusing it as an input.

Ireland can't really do a national id scheme without mutual agreement with the UK due to the common travel area & mutual residence rights (including voting at parliamentary level upon taking residence) that are dealt with in an ad-hoc manner for many reasons. due to this, Ireland has default opt-out on justice & home affairs issues.

however, as an EU citizen, I can see immediate advantages to a cautiously administered digital id. as it is, many states within the EU demand a national tax id on registration for services as simple as bike rental, such a digital id would presumably supersede such nonsense and help further the single market everyone is working towards.
