This case was decided 7-2, so clearly it wasn't just Scalia. Generally speaking, when decisions are supermajority, it's because that's what the law and precedent really say. And the precedent that law enforcement doesn't have a "duty to protect" long predates this case, so it's not really surprising.

In general, it's worth keeping in mind that the point of courts is not to decide whether the outcome of the case is ethically or socially desirable. They're there to look at the laws and precedent and figure out how it applies to a given case. If the result is undesirable, it's something for the legislature to fix.
> I guess it’s a matter of opinion whether or not making people sweat is the mark of a good interview.

Exactly. Part of the reason Joe Rogan is so huge is that a lot of people are sick of the current interviewing model, where some sneering journalist (who usually lives in Brooklyn) asks a bunch of leading questions in an effort to humiliate his guest by luring them into a contradiction.

Well-adjusted people don't regularly enjoy watching others get humiliated. They'd rather see an interesting conversation between interesting people, which is exactly what Rogan gives them and exactly what the traditional media does not.

So... How exactly does a website tell if someone's a kid or not?

What immediately springs to mind is a dialog that says "Are you X years old? If you click [Yes] you won't be able to use this website. [Yes] [No]". That might fool babies, but won't anyone over the age of 7 just click "[Yes]" even if that would be a lie?
I should have also added that it's not possible in a democratic society as well.

From what I can see the agenda is for profit in some way because nothing on this scale is ever promoted without profit being involved.

By golly, you might be onto something. If you look at a map, there is a straight line from Pakistan across the Arabian Sea, around Yemen, up the Red Sea through the Suez Canal and right across the Mediterranean to Spain.

So it is conceivable the rain in Spain stays mainly in the Balochistan plain!
> Russia today is a faint ghost of the former USSR.

Russia was only a part of the USSR. Their main problem is that they, too, believe that they are the former USSR, and try to restore the former glory. Well, the state of the war in Ukraine (another part of the former USSR) clearly shows how wrong they are.

Right, no objection there. Scott Alexander outright dubs this observation Marx’s Fallacy[1]:

> What I sometimes call Marx’s Fallacy is that if we burnt down the current system, some group of people who optimized for things other than power would naturally rise to the top. Wrong. People who most brutally and nakedly optimized for power would gain power; that's what “optimize” means.

I was only saying that the surface implications of the “means of production” rhetoric don’t really matter once you have Lenin in power, because that rhetoric is not what drives his actions. I took your previous comment to mean that they did. (That is not to say that the whole Russian anti-autocracy movement since 1815 was a power grab, even if a pie-in-the-sky gentleman anarchist introducing and promoting terrorism in European polite society[2] sounds a bit bizarre to modern sensibilities. Recall the Russian Empire had a serfdom system essentially equivalent to domestic slavery up until 1861.)

Still, though, my original puzzlement in this thread is that sex, specifically, seems to have even more importance to control freak governments than would generically be expected given their control freak nature. Little importance is given to the citizens’ diet, for example, or clothing, and even art is hit and miss, but sex is somehow always at the forefront (even if nobody says the word). Maybe it’s human passions in general?.. I don’t know, I don’t see it.

That’s really reaching. Presumably people would do the thing that bear fits their circumstances after weighing the costs and benefits.
Supposing that this is true, why should that translate to an outright ban? People who find it offensive don't have to watch it.

A bit more info on the Quebec asbestos issues. Canada didnt stop exporting it until 2012.

"
Canada led world production of asbestos before the country’s two largest mines (both in Quebec) halted operations in 2012. The closure marked the suspension of the country’s asbestos production for the first time in 130 years.

Exporting this wasn't unique to the Soviets.
My bad! I understand now.

> What metrics do you choose?

I was thinking of life expectancy and the generally high overall mortality rate in Russia, some of which is attributable to rising alcoholism. But it looks like their life expectancy has also improved somewhat over the last decade, so I can't claim that unequivocally.
And it would've made a lot of sense to re-apply it here since Russia has clearly gone in a strongly authoritarian direction and is invading its neighbors. It's a pretty clear example of a destabilizing actor in the region.
>There are people that don't let a single mistake sink a person.

Sure, but it's pretty easy to find plenty of similar instances throughout the JRE catalog.
Exactly. The article said:

> Here’s a question: would you have preferred to live through a total travel ban and total lockdowns, like Australia’s, to save yourself 10-to-15 days of life?

> Is stopping that worth it to you?

> My personal answer is: No. It would not be worth it to me. I’d take that loss in expected lifespan, in order to travel and live freely for a couple years.

Virtually everyone's answer to that question is "no" because it's the wrong question. Phrasing this as THE question seems intellectually dishonest. There are a few better questions one might ask:

- If new diseases sweep through every so often, and each of them has a 20% chance of leading to long-term disability affecting a significant portion of the population, should we have a lock-down?

- If new diseases sweep through every so often, and a real world-wide lock-down means they don't become endemic for your children's children, is that worth it to you?

- If a disease sweeps through, and reduces the IQ of the general population by 5 points, is getting that under control worth it to you?

... and so on. I was never worried about COVID killing me. However, I was 100% in support of tight lockdowns, of the type which would have prevented COVID from becoming endemic, for reasons unrelated to my own risk of death.
> The Cold War wasn't a good thing, but it didn't have to end with the dissolution of the USSR, and the dissolution of the USSR didn't have to end with a coup, followed by chaos, which nevertheless kept all the appartchiks in charge.

We may almost always wish things were better than they actually were. For example, USA went through a minor recession at the end of the Cold War - was it necessary? In case of USSR things could be much worse - some argue we pass now through the violent ending of that Cold War, in a form of actual "hot" war, partially because some Soviet people didn't reflect enough on the events of XX century.

Cast int8 to int16 isn't the same thing as int to boolean. In the first case, you get the same number (ignoring wrapping issues). In the second case, you're asking the compiler to make an arbitrary decision about what numbers go to what booleans.
I think art is a combination of physical skill and conceptual taste/ability, among other things. The skill part is non-trivial.

Software seems like mostly thought-stuff to me, there’s no mechanical skill-based piece. But even so, when AI can generate a full app with the ease of iteration displayed in the OP, then sure, I think you’ll see some people with app ideas generating those apps themselves, instead of having to hire contract developers. Right now just completing stubs of functions doesn’t seem useful enough to allow someone that can’t code to make an app.

Not if that's the format of the show, and the show is wildly successful.

Also: what's an example of a really good interview show where the interviewer only brings on people they agree with, or else brings on people they disagree with in order to tell them they're wrong? That sounds like a debate show rather than an interview, and it doesn't sound like my cup of tea. Reminds me of those political interview shows on TV where the host cuts the guest off to yell at them.

> Andrew Yang's premise is that those low level jobs are increasingly being automated away anyway - meaning that no, we don't need people to do them.

Well Andrew Yang is wrong. That's not what automation does. Automation reduces the amount of skill required to do jobs, reducing both the amount, but also the value. You still need people, and often more people because it becomes economical to employ poor people at a higher scale.

> Not if the UBI is instead funded by taxing the unimproved value of land - a.k.a. a land value tax, or LVT.

A land value tax is a great idea, but irrelevant to what I was saying. We need people to do low wage jobs. If they get some wages for free, we need to pay them more to do the jobs. If we pay them more, then we need to raise prices on the goods in order to not go bankrupt. The natural level of wages/prices is the one where people need to work in order to survive. The tax system and funding of the UBI is a separate problem.

> That has already happened, without UBI. UBI is if anything necessary because of outsourcing - again, because we don't need local people doing those particular low level jobs, because they're now being done overseas.

Economic Comparative and Absolute Advantages are not binary events. Doing things that make domestic businesses less competitive across the board in a globalized international economy is suicidal.

> UBI also might even help correct outsourcing; it's a lot easier to start a business if you know that if it fails (like most businesses do) you won't be homeless and starving as a result, and that's exactly the sort of safety net that UBI enables.

It's just a naive thing to focus on this founder idea.

Or May be that was the US master plan all along. I mean when has US ever had a marshal plan? Anyone who has followed US foreign policies after war, there are multiple examples come to sight where they just straight up help the country go into deep chaos so much so that the local people hope they were better off with pre war dictatorship. Look at Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan.

Yea, and most young democracies are very vulnerable. You can look at the Arab Spring for examples of failed democracies, and the early United States (it took us 20 years to get off the Articles of Confederation and work on the Constitution we use today).

Moreover, manifest V3 was essentially a massive middle finger from Google to everyone else (except advertisers), and it feels almost dishonest to discuss it wothout mentioning that there are better options out there.
