> Western society does have a unified moral framework. Theft, murder, rape, adultery, ect, ect, ect, all end badly. You know the list.

No. No we do not.

Theft has been de-facto de-criminalised in several US states and a few major European cities. It os common to see hordes barging into stores and stealing whatever they please. Attempts to raise concerns about this behaviour are met with complaints about “targeting marginalised groups” and more calls to defund the police.

Murder, like the murder of Daria Dugina in what is most likely a state sponsored act of terrorism, is actively cheered by many people. Just go read some comment sections on reddit to see. And it’s on the streets too. This point I can also extend with the abortion question. Clearly there is no consensus on what murder is.

Rape doesn’t work either because we no longer have a unified definition of it. If you ask a lefty zoomer what rape is they’ll tell you something really different from what a middle aged men in a conservative area will say.

Adultery - are you serious? Just look up the sleazy videos of that coked up chick running finland and see just how accepting most people are of her adultery.

I don’t know the list because there isn’t one. Maybe there was in the past, but it sure seems it went away.
Personally, I think Mudge wrote, hoping that this document was going to go before Congress and wrote for them, and that possibly that he would have to go before them. Thus the (over) use of bold emphasis is for a broad audience of which certain members won't (or can't) read as critically as others.

I'd write like there's no way this doesn't leak to the public eventually. It's Twitter we're talking about. Juicy gossip is the point of the platform so of course it's going to get spread. I don't know that it undercuts its message though.
But the quality of the product can be controlled and you have a direct way to contact consumers for education and to provide help.
(Shrugs emoji) Well okay, sooooorry I can't convince you to buy this fictitious insurance to protect your fictitious self against fictitious patent lawsuits...

Insurance schemes pool the insureds' moneys together in case something bad happens to one of the insureds, of course it'd be in all the insureds' best interest that the money is used properly, if the company says "We won't fight this particular patent troll", it's also in the pool's interest to tell the company "Wait, we think this is a valid case, and you have to fight it!", because otherwise, when a similar patent troll shows up trolling one of them, the insurance company will also ignore it, leaving them exposed.

> Insurance agreements are legally binding contracts and that's why they get litigated over. Your scheme essentially waives an insured's right to a breach of contract claim over non-coverage.

If I drink and crash my car, my insurance won't pay me. I can sue them and the judge will tell me to fuck off. In a poor analogy of my fictitious example, I can ask the pool of other drivers to judge whether the insurance should pay or not, and if they say no, sure I can also go to the judge, and she'll say "Sorry, the contract says the pool's decision is final.".
Sounds like it, 'with deep connections to Hollywood' is among the quotes OP admits as though it makes it worse somehow. Used to direct films, so presumably at least lived (if not lives) there.

The 'British Baroness' phrasing seems like they just thought it was better clickbait than 'a company' - surely the actual issue the article has, by the end, is just this process that allows companies to draft Californian law; not that in this case the company happened recently to hire a British baroness...

Any suggestions?
I’m very rigorous about including the full domain name in my email address (consistency helps me remember what I used. I made the mistake early on of using myname-paypal@mydomain.com instead of myname-paypal.com@… and it drove me insane until I changed it), but every once in a while there’s a site (or occasionally a customer service rep) that refuses to accept that, in which case I just make up some unique three letter suffix to use instead and make a note of it in my password manager. My email for my kids’ school whose name starts with a W, for example, just ended up being mynane-w@mydomain.com. Luckily these exceptions are rarely necessary and I’ve only had to do half a dozen of them in about 17 years of doing this.
Ah yes, "it could be". An unrefutable and unprovable statement without proof. It's purely wishful thinking that nuclear power will become any easier in the future. Japan is not "overreacting", it has to clean up the damn mess not just to one day use that area again, but also to avoid spreading the contamination. Just because nobody dies immediately from the exposure doesn't mean the ground is safe to handle or live on. Case in point: The Russian soldiers in Tschernobyl digging in contaminated ground and spreading it further. Your point about a low immediate death count after Fukushima is just as dishonest, stupid and lazy: People would have had their lifes cut shorter by the radiation exposure, if they hadn't been evacuated at great cost.

Most of your arguments are entire bullshit and I really don't have the time to waste. No, if one of the nuclear plants in Ukraine blows up, the effects are not "very local" and I suspect the locals do care. So should you when a nuclear plant near where you live goes online. Also the biggest nuclear plant in Europe is hurting Ukraine's defense just by sitting there and doing its job perfectly: The Russians discovered that they can shoot artillery from there without anyone shooting back. Nuclear plants are defensive weak points under any circumstance.

A dirty bomb is a viable terror weapon. You can spread radioactive material quite far with an amount of explosives that wouldn't be able to cause near as much death and terror. Good deal, especially when you got the Plutonium and what not for free...

People like you are lying through your teeth by saying the only alternative to nuclear is fossil fuels. I don't even know anyone who believes this.

And no, we can't wait for nuclear power. A world full of nuclear power plants is unsafe. Maybe in Norway or Finland with the most honest and least corrupt governments (at presents) and no immediate threats from the outside it seems safe. But really, betting on nuclear power means betting on a perfect world during the next few decades at least.

You just continue to profess to a profound ignorance on how radiation exposure work, what happened and is happening right now in Tschernobyl and Fukushima, and make hand wavy arguments "Such accidents are never going to happen and aren't actually that bad, for real this time, pinky promise with cherry on top".
I run my own mail server as well, on my own domain, own server, physically present in my home.

It's increasingly becoming a hassle.. Especially sending mail from a "consumer" line is tricky, they block outgoing port 25 and no longer really provide a relay host for you to go through either..
I basically had to infiltrate my current ISP to get access to people in netops and gaslight them into configuring reverse-dns and leak enough info to me to get access to use their relay..

Back when I got my first ADSL, the ISP apologized for blocking port 25 and explained how to use their relay.. Things sure have turned sour in that regard.

To this end, I've become convinced that the only fair thing to do is make email a human right. Nation states absolutely should provide and host, e-mail accounts for their citizens. (it can be up to the citizens how they want to use these accounts, if they want to use them only for receiving mail from the state, or if they want to use them for everything else too).
Sorry, messed this up. Ironically in an edit to make it clearer.

I meant to say that "fuck off" is better than "fuck it".
That gets unwieldy in a hurry for apartments and other multi-unit addresses. Not to mention 124 East Main St vs 124 West Main St.

Then what happens when John (who is actually John Jr., but never uses the Junior unless legally required) has a son John III? Then John Sr. moves in rather than to a nursing home.
I'm also pretty out of date, but I believe in LTE (4G) the max distance was closer to 100km, with the timing advance controlled in the radio protocol. As I understand it, the 5G radio protocol should be fairly similar to 4G, it wasn't completely reinvented for once.

Based on my read of the summary of a couple Mbps per cell and focusing more on low bandwidth services like texting makes me suspect they're right at the limits of what the tech will allow. Since they're advertising compatibility with existing hardware, makes me suspect there is an extension somewhere in the standards that allows the timing window to be increased, or maybe there's some clever hackery going on, like only scheduling every other timing window and cutting bandwidth in half.

Which might work on the uplink, but on the downlink I think it's more complicated to support something like paging, where the UE is mostly idle, and only wakes up occasionally, that things don't get out of sync with the moving satellite.
I'm still not sure what you're trying to say. My first guess is that climate change deniers are the biggest culprits of trying to make science fit a contradictory world view, and my second guess would be anti-vaccine advocates.
This line is humorous: "The priority going forward is to support customers of all sizes who are betting projects, careers, and businesses on Heroku. Our customers include PensionBee, who helps people manage their pensions, and Softgiving, who uses Heroku to engage with donors."

People bet on Heroku for easy deployments are getting hosed.

Now, imagine, real good research (Data-mining/AB-virtual-experiments) being done, with FG cooperate DBs containing the behaviour of almost all of western humanity. One can imagine the bombshells on which Google and Facebook (and others with acccess Palantir) are sitting quietly right now.

And while the racists and ideologists might use parts of the results to go at each others throats, the truth might even be more weird, turning humanity into a fully self aware grandfather clock, knowing what makes it tick, but unable to stop it.

The fact that Thiel just looked at it, and went full support of totalitarian decline, cause it can not be prevented anyway, gives you an idea on how total of a defeat through knowledge awaits in those DBs.
Whilst I appreciate the Plain English Campaign's originally stated mission to discourage the use of unnecessarily opaque terminology, I think this is straying from the mark a bit. There's nothing wrong with having a decent vocabulary, as long as you can make yourself understood.

Personally I find the 'Newspeak' habit of replacing huge swathes of vocabulary with one or two tired phrases to be a much more annoying trend. eg:

"reached out" --instead of 'wrote to', 'contacted', 'emailed', 'phoned', etc.

"awesome" --instead of 'good', 'fine', 'great', 'useful', 'helpful', 'thrilling', 'exciting'... or almost any adjective that expresses pleasure.

"super" --which, likewise, seems to be becoming the universal adjective to replace 'very', 'extremely', 'rather', 'quite', etc.

God help us. Of late, I've even seen a rise in people describing things as "super awesome"!
10 years ago, if someone said that "woke" people got control of institutions and are censoring science that goes against their ideology, I would think that person is crazy. Right now, they even publish manifestos explicitly stating they will be censoring science if it goes against (woke) advocacy groups' ideologies.

Now the crazy person is not the guy denouncing the woke people marching through institutions. It is the guy that sees all this madness in the world and pretends it is not happening.
Sounds like a layering issue to me. We have enough problems with semantic differences between filesystems on different platforms - permission models, allowed characters in names etc. What is a strong reason why the multiple streams shouldn't just be implemented on top of a single-stream filesystem file abstraction? I know a number of formats that do such a thing, like ELF, PDF, Sqlite3, various media containers, various archive formats.. Probably some people here can come up with dozens without looking anything up.

If you do these resource streams, how do you copy those to various other mediums, like physical drives, tapes, pipes, sockets... All consist only of a single stream at a low level, because why make it harder than that? Now that means that instead of "cat" your standard way to read such a multi stream file would be a command that serializes it to the "sit" format as you mentioned, making that format almost the canonical representation. So what was he point of implementing these resoure forks in the filesystem again?

Critizicing Unix often comes back to the "reinventing poorly" phrase, the simplicity of not having some features at every layer is a virtue.

> I really wish email providers would make custom domains either the default, or a very obvious option when signing up.

They don't because it creates huge friction to leave. They'll have to be mandated to do this, and I think they should be.
Incredibly hard to understand. As if, say, Einstein waved his hand and produced a rigorous theory of the general relativity. And spent no time on it himself. Or if, say, Coltrane revolutionized music but never practiced.

I agree that adversarial interactions can produce results. That's not what the OP is saying. What the OP is saying is that you need a whole lot of self understanding to create good work in the space of writing.
I hear this repeated verbatim a lot as if it were objectively true, along with the idea that watching porn in general is psychologically unhealthy, but I have yet to see any legitimate peer reviewed studies to corroborate either of these positions.
I read through the guidelines. I'm firmly in the camp that the fundamental ideas of the guidelines stem from ideas that deny the existence of objective shared reality. But science is and always has been the pursuit of knowledge of objective shared reality. The guidelines are antithetical to science.
Demanded or commanded?
Just go on academic twitter and ask, you will get a torrent of sob stories. Everyone hates the journal industry but nobody knows how to overturn it. Every so often a group in some field bands together and gets a new open-access journal going (good) but then that has to run for several years and feature heavyweight papers before it can compete with the incumbent, and it's a lot of work while making much less money.
It's good for having your own website. That's super easy to host and use.

It's quite another thing for email. While it might not be that difficult to set up a basic email server, but to actually get it set up all correctly, and secure, and whitelisted, and get anything else on the 'net to actually interact with it is a little less trivial. And an email server that can't effectively send email (that won't be ditched along the way by some anti-spam measure somewhere) would be pretty limited.

Maybe useful for receive-only stuff like password reset links or one-time authentication links though?

I've spent the last year or so moving from a Gmail address to my own domain (hosted on Worksplace). I kept reading report after report of people having their Google accounts banned for any and no reason, and I realised how many services I have tied to me email. I'd be spending a lifetime trying to recover them all, and I don't think I'd be successful for half of them. Now, if my Workspace account is ever banned, I can immediately take my domain elsewhere and retain access to everything.
I'd think that the distance limit for _terrestrial_ mobile networks comes from the guard interval of the OFDM modulation [1]. I.e. on longer distances the time-offset between different different reception paths (due to reflections) of the signal becomes so long that you cannot compensate those with just a complex gain-factor of the OFDM vectors.

AFAIR LTE (4G) even uses different guard intervals depending on rural vs. city setting because that time-offset is larger in rural areas (less base station density).

I would not expect those problems to be relevant for satellite communication as ground<->satellite does not suffer much of the multi-path signal propagation of terrestrial systems. (IIRC DVB-c sat-TV broadcasts did not even use OFDM, at least not for the older "v1" DVB-c standard).

How is this "pure white supremacy"?

That's an easy one. America has had a couple of centuries of systemic racism keeping majority-black communities poor, uneducated, and not particularly fearful of prison (relative to majority-white communities). When you combine that poverty with an easy opportunity to loot something valuable in a situation where there's a perception of not being caught due to the chaos, people will loot things. There will have been poor white people in the videos you watched, but your biases mean you focused on the black people instead.

That's not a suggestion that you're racist. It's simply that you've grown up in a society where white people are literally considered superior. The white supremacy is all around you. You don't notice it in the same way you don't notice the air you breathe. When someone points it out though, you should probably listen at least, even if you choose not to act.

Also, it's not Trump's fault. It goes back far further than Trump. He's simply a clever grifter who found a way to capitalize on it. His family is the better part of $3bn richer since his presidency...
> Most transgender studies come from the same "reproducibility crisis" and largely the same branch of social/psychology science.

No, this is wrong. A lot of the research into trans healthcare comes from endocrinology, not psychology. Psychologists are not prescribing meds or performing surgery.
Convenience does not excuse inefficiencies and lack of respect for other peoples' property.

Yes, writing and maintaining codebases for multiple environments is tedious, but it's part of the job description if you are providing good, solid software for more than one operating environment.

If you argue it's too tedious to maintain six codebases, that is the definition of laziness and you ironically helped reaffirm my argument.

Either suck it up or find a new, less demanding job. Programmers of yore managed to do it and we were all better off for it.
I like my email provider — he is me.
AgileBits and its forums have always been hostile places for customers who ask questions that the company is not comfortable with (like dark patterns, anti-customer policies, etc.). Nothing new here. The problem starts right at the top, and that “we know better than you at all times” culture flows down to all the customer support representatives. By whatever chance, I think older forum posts are still there for anyone to go and verify for how long these toxic reactions have been around.
They may not reissue it immediately but I am not aware of any mainstream email provider that promises to never reuse an identity.
but if you stop renting from the registrar then whoever rents the domain next gets access to your email. seems like a horrible solution to this problem. at least i can be reasonably confident that google will never recycle my email address and send all incoming mail to a rando.

Perhaps it would be easier to just own an IP address?
If there wouldn’t be a delay between observing the current value and stopping (assuming a reasonably well-behaved distribution P), that problem is trivial: stop when you reach the threshold.

So, you would have to add some time delay between observation of a value and actual stopping.

Intuitively, I can think of two stopping strategies that might be optimal: call ‘stop’ when the expected value at stop is that ≈ 0.5706 or call stop when the probability of overshooting it is 50%.

I’m fairly sure that intuition is wrong in general, though.

If there’s one thing Bitwarden is, it’s very slow on developing features that users have asked for.

I've never used them, was just looking for some courier tickets which is where I noticed Google didn't return all the results.

Not sure why your ddg doesn't show results, maybe it's location department?
Hmm, weird ddg doesn't seem very consistent, sometimes it has 1 result, sometimes 2, other times 0. Just by changing the "Safe search" and "location" options. But it's not reproducible, sometimes show this, then not for the same option.

Bing seems more consistent, with just the 1 result always.
Tactics which will win over the court of public opinion differ than tactics that would win over regulators, but the piece was always going to try and convince the reader of it's thesis, whomever the reader ends up being. I'm curious why you think the difference in audience make those tactics rise to the level of deception and propaganda though. Stripped of all bold emphasis, would the document read the same? IMO, yes. But I'm not an SEC regulator.
