You are trying so hard to be cynical about capitalism and America here, which I get, but the narrative you're aiming for just doesn't hold together.

> It encourages mindless consumption because it lowers the level of commitment needed. Not sure if you really want it, or should be buying it?

How is having more information about a product from first-hand experience somehow more mindless than buying a thing sight unseen?

> return it if you change your mind.

Yes, exactly. You can use your mind to decide if you want the product. That's the opposite of mindless.

> Surely you don't think stores have these policies for your benefit - to allow you to be a more informed consumer?!

I know this might seem totally crazy to you but, yes, in most transactions both the buyer and seller end up satisfied. That's why people buy and sell things. When I sell a thing, it's worth less to me than it is to the buyer. When I buy a thing, it's worth more to me than it is to the seller.

Obviously, buyers and sellers are trying to get the best preferential deal for themselves, but it is not a zero-sum game. You are currently surrounded by products most of which you probably purchased. Surely you don't believe you got actively fucked over on every single one of those do you?

> They have these policies because it results in them selling more stuff, because they are lowering the level of commitment needed for consumers to buy.

Yes. And to the degree that having things can benefit anyone's life, that is good for consumers too. Sure, we could also just not buy stuff. Sit on a bare patch of dirt. But sometimes stuff makes our life better.

I bought a synthesizer recently. It's really hard to predict if a musical instrument will gel with you, since it's complex, interactive, and the sounds that resonate with someone are deeply personal. Also, they're often quite expensive. Sometimes you can try one in a store, but even that doesn't always help since it can be difficult to really explore the sounds in a crowded shop.

I was OK with ordering it online because I knew if it didn't work for me, I could return it. The alternative would have been not buying it. It was too expensive to commit to being stuck with it without any first-hand experience. And, sure, I could definitely get by without it. It's not like I need it to live. But in this case, it turns out that I like it. It's enriched my life to have it, and I wouldn't if the store didn't allow returns. I benefitted from that policy.

Unfortunately, I would say it is possible that someone in possession of the documents you described would be able to create accounts under your name on some platforms. However, there is a chance that the KYC of those platforms would detect fraud given they likely don't have your correct SSN, their IP might not match your location, etc.

However, I would find it very unlikely that any crime they committed (given you reported the issue to the police) would come back to you.
I'm not confusing you for anyone - I explicitly said I was making the same point. You are arguing that genetically modifying mouth bacteria to not-form biofilms could be detrimental to health, and I pointing out that if that was true, we would already see those affects from daily brushing. You seem to agree that brushing removes biofilms, so I guess I don't understand your original hypothesis.
I just ordered a pixel 6. Really hope Android/Google will have the same mode.
It is stuff like people religiously dissmising you when you tell them that nuclear is nearly the safest power source in terms of deaths per TWh [1].

They don't base their opinion regarding safety on data, they base it on the feeling that they get from seeing large disasters and not seeing the countless deaths caused in silence, and they refuse to update their view even in the face of contradicting data.

ARMs sold today are typically it the 5/1,7/1,10/1 variety. The terms outline the maximum increase per year and lifetime after the fix ends. A doubling or tripling of payment immediately at the end of the fix term would be unusual.
You're not crazy, whatever Redhat decides eventually becomes popular because that's what people get paid to work with. It's very similar to the situation with Windows.

Also, I think most desktop Linux users that care probably use a small WM rather than either Gnome or KDE. Gnome also gets a lot of attention because GTK is easier to work with than QT.
Tangentially, I'm just curious, is it something that appears in your criminal background check that causes you to not receive offers? Or is it a lack of interviews due to gaps on a resume?

I am a firm believer that if someone demonstrates they have motivation and skill in a writing sample, they deserve an interview. If that person then passes a technical interview, they deserve a job. And if that person is friendly and does not commit any crimes while working, they deserve to keep that job.
Very true, but when there's literally 100s of years of women's legitimate medical complaints being dismissed (sometimes with fatal consequences), it is surely not too much of leap to speculate that this is part of the reason.

Yep. Trust is a feature, not a bug. So that the 'legitimate and righteous' blockade of North Korea by the Angloamerican establishment could turn on its domestic dissent whenever needed. As we saw during the Occupy protests in 2011.
"But abortion" is an incredibly common refrain from my conservative Christian family and friends who otherwise claim Trump is awful.

And then of course they fell into supporting his election fraud lies.

The American church is dying because it can't stop making deals with the devil on the issues of abortion and LGBT liberty, both issues that Jesus said absolutely nothing about. Meanwhile, he said a hell of a lot about helping the poor, the sick, and the foreigner.

In my mind, this kind of person isn't a real follower of Christ. They're modern day pharisees. Hypocrites who Jesus would have hated.

Normally I'd agree that the average user is bad at computers, but the comment I replied to specifically said they wanted to change the image, ergo, they were intended on customizing, but somehow thought they weren't allowed to.
I mean, you aren't necessarily wrong. But, I will again lean on "depends on fundamental organization factors of where you work."

In large, there is no reason for people in your HR department to have access to data in your sales department. Even if they have relationships between them. (For payroll/commission/whatever.)

If you are small enough that having wide access to all of the data is fine, then it is fine.

And, ACID isn't some magic bullet that will prevent things from needing an audit process to make sure data is accurate. In particular, if you have an inventory system, your actual physical inventory will trump whatever your database says.

Eh... Apart from messing with input, I like it. Sometimes, it's hard to notice when the "city", "village" starts and reduce your speed. Our highways sometimes might pass through the small cities. It's european thing. It's in my interest not to speed there. Usually, only OpenStreetMaps(OsmAnd) helps me see when the city starts.
An anecdote- I visited the Netherlands a few years ago, and the difference between their public transport and ours was so stark it's almost shocking. In the Netherlands there is light rail linking every major city that runs every 20 minutes- and for more far flung locations you go to a bus stop, and there is a sign in the bus stop that tells you down to the minute how long it will be till the next bus arrives, and the routes are clearly labeled.

Upon arrival to the United States, my bus out of Boston was an hour late, and there was no indication when it would arrive, and every time a bus pulled up at the airport, the driver would get out and start yelling the destination cities over the din of the traffic, and that was how you would find the right bus. It was like going back in time 100 years.
IANAAL, but I thought there was a legal principle that ambiguities in a contract would resolve in favor of the party that didn't write the contract. In all probability, the verbiage of the contract is all licensing and it is only marketing copy that is ambiguous.

Thanks for the reply; now that you mention those keywords I do recall having heard of some of these. I guess "frivolous" is in the eye of the beholder here.
No, the attitude makes sense because of the time value of money.

At any point, if interest rates aren't pretty much exactly zero, it pays to delay burying waste. The present cost of guarding it at the surface is < the cost of burying it now. If, at any time, the interest rates do drop to zero and stay there, it can be buried then.

The only real argument against this is that the waste ceases to be self-protecting from "amateur" diversion of plutonium in about 300 years, which could greatly increase the cost of guarding. But that's no justification for burying it now.

Waiting also reduces the thermal output from fission products, which reduces heat buildup in the repository, at least a bit. And it would allow the waste to be reprocessed (and more easily) if that (perhaps unexpectedly) becomes appropriate. It would also allow time for other disposal methods, such as launching into space, to become competitive. How cheap will the descendants of SpaceX's launchers be in 300 years?

I think there may have been an argument for rapidly burying waste during the cold war, where surface waste could be volatilized by a direct H bomb strike, causing enhanced local long term fallout. That's more an argument against nuclear power itself, though, as NPPs could also be disrupted by direct strikes.
> It’s pretty much a certainty that a web standard for eager-mode machine learning will spring up when WebGPU comes online

I can agree on this point. The fusion of the browser and the GPU will likely open up some new pathways to ML concepts that were previously impeded.

At the same time, is there a possibility that websites begin implementing heavy GPU operations at scale, in the same way that SPA webapps are heavy on memory today?
I thought circumcision was banned in Canada. If not, it's high time to get rid of this barbarian practice. Circumcisions made sense thousand year ago when you are in a desert and can't shower daily
Any law like that will fail the first legal challenge. You can't be guilty of conspiring to do something legal. If abortion is legal in Colorado, then you'll be in the clear.
> There is no need to use Apple's backup at all, iDevices can still be backed up to your own computer same as always.

Even if you disable iCloud Backup, Apple can still read all of your iMessages.

They'll be in the (on by default) iCloud Backups of everyone you chat with.

It is absolutely a backdoor: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusiv...

You may not be aware that Signal endpoint keys are of a device-local storage class that are excluded from backups of any kind, and consequently they do not leave the device. iMessage endpoint keys are backed up to Apple, effectively without encryption.

There is no step you can take that will easily compromise your Signal endpoint keys to a second party. Simply logging in to an iPhone (required to install apps!) will configure your device to escrow your iMessage keys to Apple.

That's a backdoor any way you slice it.

To be fair though, those are all Western-aligned countries dependent on US force. They'll typically go along with whatever the US says. They're not exactly vassal states but close enough.

NK is just another tiny country caught in a proxy war between imperialists.

Look at China, which I think is bigger (or nearly so) than all those countries combined, and they don't have nearly as big a problem with NK as we do.

I'm not saying NK is a model country, but the US has a long history of demonizing random small countries to suit its purposes, from Afghanistan to Iraq to NK to Vietnam to much of Central/South America. That we use our military and propaganda to coerce our allies doesn't mean we automatically get the moral high ground. It just means we're the biggest bully.
too late; already moved on.
This looks like it's "just" follow-through from previous headlines.

I don't think anything can top how bad GPU naming from the 2000s was.
There are some insane laws in the US like the Texas one that allow private citizens to sue anyone that helps with access to an abortion in any way. That is arguably a terrible law that is fundamentally broken and should be stopped by some court, but so far it hasn't.

There are probably enough ways to pass laws that are not unconstitutional in immediately apparent ways that would still interfere with abortion access across state lines. And even then I think it is quite likely that a few blatantly unconstitutional ones will be passed as well, and who knows how that will end.

Me and my girlfriend use period timing. We accept the risk because we would eventually like children, now wouldn't be ideal but wouldn't be catastrophic either. Both of us agree that regardless of the law we wouldn't get an abortion anyway.

Risk isn't black and white, you have to actually measure things and not be ideological about it.
i just use bootstrap and jquery. no compilation or building. they have served me well for years
The high-order bit is that nuclear waste isn't very much, is solid and is manageable. Your average US nuclear plant will produce 3 cubic meters of solid waste each year. That's about the size of a refrigerator. In the US, the vast majority of such waste is sitting inert in cooling ponds doing no harm at all, where it has been sitting for decades with no real incidents.

Compare that with a coal-fired power plant where the waste is gaseous, toxic, and enormous. Thousands and millions of tons. And fly ash is radioactive. Far more radiation is produced by coal plants than nuclear plants because of the radioactive isotopes of carbon and other trace elements. And that's just blasted right into the air. Not to mention the CO2!

Personally, I think this sort of timed thing (regardless of which law or debt is being collected) should be pro-rated, at least if it is against a human on behalf of a corporation or the government.

If there's a 100 day time limit for the lawyer, and they take 99 days to get back to you, the first 99% of the value should be forfeited (perhaps with like a week or two grace period). Clearly they are not that in need of the money, and professional bureaucracy dealers should not be able to simply drag things out against people who simply wish to live their lives.
Instead of accusing people of being ideological and irrational why don't you address all the issues around nuclear?

Political stability VS centralization of power is one. Nuclear power is highly centralized and vulnerable to corruption.

And also to war, terrorism and social unrest.

If we are to expect extreme climate and social instability in the next 50 years, it's safer to democratize and localize energy production and storage.

Renewables go in that direction. Nuclear goes in the opposite direction.

The best use cases for AR _are_ enterprise use cases, IMO. AR seems to be a natural way to interact with design, instruction, warnings, etc. it is not obvious that the same features yield much for the entertainment user, because AR provides an interface and information.

I think AR is the natural heir to things like turn by turn navigation, but in cases where visual aids can help a process.

Dude strawmanning and shit talking all day from you in this thread is pretty pathetic. I've yet to see a single cogent argument from you yet other than 'I disagree with you so you're wrong'.

Those physical copies could have been ripped and stored/copied as many of us did.

You could also lend out and re-sell those physical copies. Stop trying to compare digital to physical. Companies can't just snap their fingers and take away a physical copy I paid for.

I hate to be that guy, but 'ed' is very unix specific. In the mid-1970's (and apparently as early as the 1960's according to Wikipedia), those of us on TOPS/10, TOPS/20 (and perhaps other DEC systems) were using TECO (which of course became EMACS).

I was shocked that there were five comments saying something other than this before yours.

It's like how the people who talked about safe spaces and triggering being dumb were triggered by every single commercial, tv show, movie, news report, and passing conversation and begging for the stuff that triggered them to be removed.

"Go woke, go broke" is something said by people who are threatening to boycott businesses because of their triggering content.
"In the end, even with Chernobyl, nuclear power is still one of the safest per unit of energy produced."

I'm not anti-nuclear at all, but I see this argument used a lot and I don't think it's a good one. The concerns with nuclear are all about tail risk. Comparing past results to other forms of energy doesn't address this since neither Chernobyl nor Fukushima were worst case scenarios for nuclear.

An effective pro-nuclear argument should address the tail risk concern head-on rather than talking past it.
If you're openly associating with pedophiles, you're not somebody someone should entrust the safety of their children to. Period.

I find it useful to think of it as forces pulling on the design, similar to physical forces acting on an object. There are forces that try to keep individual truths/knowledge and responsibilities in a singular place, there are forces that try to minimize abstractions, coupling, dependencies, and indirections, there are forces that try to maximize coherence and separation of concerns, and so on. It’s an essential part of the job of a software engineer to balance those adequately in the design of the software.

This is a bait and switch. There's no reason to believe that Facebook will remain benevolent in the future.

They never tried to make money on the hardware.

Misleading headline. That woman induced the miscarriage by using hard drugs while pregnant - perhaps unintentionally, but it was still a consequence of her decisions.

I of course was speaking of uninduced miscarriages, which happens shockingly often - one in four pregnancies, if my memory serves me correctly from the time it happened to me and my ex.
