The elephant in the room is that people with some mental illnesses can become erratic and violent. Someone above pointed out that cops are meant to "threaten and deliver violence." I think this is a vast simplification, but even under those criteria you can see why cops might be dispatched to deal with people who are mentally ill.

None of that is to say we shouldn't have other options, just that there are valid reasons to involve cops in some of these situations.
Yea probably not.

Looking at this photo, I mean it is beautiful, but we can’t wrap our head around the maddening violence of space. It’s so hostile to life, and earth has us biased towards a peaceful outlook, but space is maddeningly violent and inhospitable. Imagine approaching a black hole and being spaghettified a great distance across where you have to endure many years of physical & mental torture before being destroyed at the event horizon?!

My gut feeling is that optimum play in Stratego is not to play.

It feels better to let your opponent try and take your piece because, if they take it, you can make sure there will be at least one neighboring piece that can strike back.

If so, every game should end in a draw because of inactivity of both players.

My limited experience confirms that. Playing defensively, only offering my scouts to get intel tends to win games for me.

But then, I’ve never found any strategy guides, and wouldn’t know how good players play.

People who are more interested in the photo and the technology that produced it than public communications, would be my guess.

PyPI supports TOTP 2FA: https://pypi.org/help/#totp

TOTP is defined in a freely available RFC (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6238) and is implemented by a wide variety of applications and libraries, both proprietary and open source.
I read a study some years ago where they compared two groups of people either skipping breakfast or skipping dinner and found that the group skipping the breakfast had higher inflammation levels. The actual cause was unknown.
I also read that when skipping breakfast your metabolism kind of stays in sleep mode (burning less calories) until the first meal.

So not skipping breakfast might be the healthier, more effective protocol.

Unfortunately I cannot provide the sources right now, but I guess a web search will help the interested.

I just found how bad it was to be utterly strange and unexpected:

No updates via their channels on the delay.
Their linked live stream had no mention of delay and just displayed general unrelated content (about the ISS). In situ comments were also turned off so there was no way to corroborate with others that there was a delay or if one was even in the right space for the release.
Even when eventually ready to go live, they made no update -- those that got to see from the beginning were those that happened to be keeping the feed open for the 90mins.

In the press conference, it was a screen of a screen displayed within a screen. When the 3 highlighted members were featured, their names were thus too small to be seen on the feed.

>> I’d bet the world has seen a >1000:1 ratio of scenes featuring evil capitalists to scenes featuring evil communists

> They'd bet. Ok?

The context was "in the past several decades", if this means 3, that goes to 1992. I'd say that's a very, very safe bet. I'd take it too. If it was to 1982 it would be less so but still safe.

Otherwise it's been a long time since the cold war. The 'Red Scare' even longer.

I can't even think of a major movie since 2010 that had a villain who was socialist besides The Interview, Team America, and Red Dawn 2012 but those aren't even fake examples.

Even in your "Dirty Communists" TVTropes links all the examples were Cold War era, the only two modern films I found were also using historical real references:

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/TheDeathOfStalin

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/BridgeOfSpies

I could list a countless modern films/shows where the enemy was an evil billionaire entrepreneur or faceless corporation. A wealthy capitalist in a suit is pretty much today's standard cliche villain trope.
"one China" is a very serious thing to the PRC government, maybe comparable as a rallying cry to manifest destiny for US back in the 19th century.

No one in China is looking around trying to figure out which direction will be the most profitable direction for an invasion that they're gunning for. They're gunning for Taiwan specifically. As far as economic imperialism, China shows low willingness to attempt nation building and high enthusiasm for investing in projects in questionably stable states.
> In other words, if someone wants to be a malicious actor (say, they had a "legitimate" package from versions 1.0 to 2.1, but 2.2 contains a trojan), they can do it even with 2FA.

That's a different threat model. We're talking about account takeover, which is a separate risk from maintainers going rogue. 2FA addresses the former; the latter is difficult to address in the general case. Nevertheless, it's something that people are tackling both with static analysis and "reputational" schemes.

> it adds an undue burden developers, particularly brand new ones that just want to "publish their package," have to deal with

You're right, which is why it's not mandatory for everyday users. The decision to enable 2FA for "critical" packages is a practical and calculated one: most critical packages are maintained not by brand new PyPI users, but by seasoned engineers who understand their centrality to the ecosystem and the importance of measures that secure their work. There's no current plan to make 2FA mandatory for every single user; the threat model doesn't justify it.

> including doxxing yourself and providing a real phone number, you would 100% be deterred.

I'm not sure what this has to do with PyPI. PyPI does not and has never supported SMS 2FA. This was an intentional design decision on my part.

The only supported 2FA methods are TOTP and WebAuthn, both of which can (and do, by default) preserve nominal anonymity. No phone numbers are involved.

Even The State of Vatican City doesn't fit the definition of a network state: it's sovereign territory isn't a network of crowdfunded enclaves that have gotten recognized as sovereign territory. While, arguably, local Church property could meet that description aside from sovereignty, that's not sovereign territory of the State of Vatican City. Nope, that's just a tiny plot of land in the middle of Rome, negotiated between the Holy See and the State of Italy. It's a completely different dynamic.

The chat logs they captured from his servers[1] are straight forward and damning, and corroborated by the diary they retrieved from his laptop.

There is no serious doubt that he solicited multiple hits, both from an undercover FBI agent and from other people, possibly scammers. It is up to you what moral weights you want to assign to US drug policies, that the FBI agent was corrupt [2], or that apparently no one actually got killed, but it's silly that people are still disputing the plain fact that Ross Ulbricht tried to have people murdered.

Coming from India, I already know how much of history can be inaccurate. This can happen at two levels: at a national level and at an international level. Like at a national level a lot of history that showed the not so good side about Gandhi is mostly missing and at times forcefully removed from public access. And at an international level, a lot of history around the extent of British brutality and its effects are intentionally left out of history books.

History is truly written by victors.

And Canada gave green light to Siemens to deliver the blocked turbine. Sounds much less apocalyptic, doesn't it?
There are real concerns about sending the police in such cases. However heart attacks can very quickly lead to death and should therefore be treated as an all hands on deck situation. When in low population areas an ambulance might be 30+ minutes away, sending the police could save a lot of lives.

> Did a civilization rise and fall somewhere?

Yes. The same civilization! (wait for it)

> or is it one of those things where relativity is so unintuitive that asking a question like this is nonsensical?

The latter. One of the most unintuive aspects of relativity is the relativity of simultaneity. Basically, the order in which events happen in different places in the universe is relative. Imagine event A happening in galaxy A, event B happening in galaxy B, and event C happening in galaxy C.

From the POV of one observer, events might happen in order ABC, while for other they may happen in order BCA.

This doesn't mean that the observers simply see the events in different order because of their distance to them--it means that even when taking distance into account, one event happened before the other.

So yes, a civilization rose while you wrote that comment. It also fell... from the POV of someone else.

I was lucky enough to get to tour the clean room where they were fabricating the microshutter array at Goddard many years ago.

And maybe what it could be capable of if it was built with today's technology.

Not arguing against your final point, but the purpose of the police is to enforce the law, which does not ideally _have_ to involve violence or threat of violence. Sometimes it just means giving someone a traffic citation.

So throw up a few solar panels, hook up some cell phone batteries to it for night time, and we'll easily be able to power our productive system, charge our Teslas, desalinate water for the worsening droughts everywhere, and sequester carbon to undo all the damage we're doing. Luckily, solar panels pretty much grow on trees so we shouldn't have to burn much more fossil fuels to build the panels we need to power everything and then some. Plus, I heard solar is cheap and nuclear is expensive. Can't argue with price (which is never distorted by unincorporated externalities)!

Again we agree. My point is that we have to electrify for green energy anyway. May as well do it, right? Is your argument that we should only ever heat with gas, and electrification is a waste of time and money? Is there enough gas to do that?

> Also, nobody will freeze to death in his house over this.

The thing you're referring to is someone saying "In an emergency situation (a matter of life and death for the vulnerable)". Isn't it reasonable to consider this scenario? Why is it FUD?
Okay, but what is the age bracket you are using to define a child? In the UK a sixteen year old is considered to be old enough to give consent in a sexual relationship. They're also old enough to enlist in the armed forces. Are you suggesting that sixteen year olds shouldn't be able to look up information about sex and war?

What about a fourteen year old that is feeling confused about their gender identity or sexuality. Are they not permitted to do some research or reach out to supportive online communities?

I've never blocked, monitored, or filtered my childrens' access to the web. I just parent properly, and try to make sure they are responsible users. You can't regulate your way around this type of problem. Kids will find a way around any barriers that are put in place, and to be honest, good luck to them.
>What is the benefit of having multiple compilers for programming languages?

Rust will need a standard.

The main reason why I don't take it seriously is that code written 5 years ago will often not compile today. For a language that pretends to be a systems language that is a non-starter. If you can't guarantee a 40 year shelf life of your code then no one working on systems cares.

People working on systems in the wild don't have the brain power to learn a new tool chain every decade, let alone every year. They are solving real problems and not writing blog posts.

No such thing. I'm fine with Joe Average, and I don't think everybody should know about everything, much less about the "right to repair" (much more important stuff for people to learn about, including politics and/or gas prices and other things that affect someone more).

I'm merely stating a fact: the "right to repair" is not something that has been covered in any degree for the regular persons to know or care about. Most of those that do are already familiar with the tech scene, if not as technies, then as gadget lovers and tinkerers.
