I see where your confusion stems from. In the case of asbestos, it is the contractors using it to build the house who tend to experience adverse health effects, and not always the people who live there. Asbestos is harmless when it's inert in the wall, paint, etc. The danger is when you start doing construction / renovations and the dust is free floating.

So OP's point is correct. The two situations are not exactly analogous.
I have a modern induction stove. I think it's great. But not for bringing water to boil. It's about as fast as a kettle for 500-750 ml. But over a liter and it'll be much slower than a kettle (yes, boost function). I do not use it for bringing pasta water to boil.

Unsafe C is a fact, there’s no need for an argument in their comment.
A bigger phone may have a better battery life, but that does not mean that better battery life is why phones are large. iPhones have gotten bigger while battery size has shrunk. There is literally a void inside of the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Apple obviously make a very deliberate choice about the size of their phones, and so unless you have a plausible suggestion for the why of their sizing choices, your opposition to the idea that it's based on the average man's hand size doesn't hold up.

C in software stacks is more like flame in kitchens. Fire is dangerous and bad for your health. Kitchen fires kill people, gas leaks kill people. It's possible to do without. But billions of people around the world cook with flame and do OK. All our ancestors did, and here we are. There will always be professional kitchens that use gas/flame (almost all of them). And it'll always be possible for your food to catch on fire anyway, if you cook it wrong.

Unlike asbestos insulation in houses, or flame in your personal kitchen, you actually can't avoid C in your software stack. Do you use Linux, FreeBSD, or OpenBSD, or macOS, or Windows? Do you use Postgres or MySql or sqlite, or maybe redis or memcached? How about a language like Python or JS or Java or Ruby or Lua? Do you use rust? guess what the business-end of that compiler is written in! so you dabble at the tippy-top of the stack in some language like rust or go, so what?
No, but it shows you if your copy is 100% accurate or not. Which proves that 100% identical copy is possible.

> Democrats are pretty much starting from the position that, due to demographics, the only way Republicans can gain the upper hand in national elections (or particular state/local elections) is through trickery and the assistance of foreign government meddling.

WTF. Our voting system is so fundamentally broken and all any party needs to do to get a government majority without a popular majority is to push on the cracks. No foreign interference necessary, though, it helps.

The USA is so heavily gerrymandered that the vast majority of congressional races don't even need to hold actual elections, the outcome is 99% certain. There are 10 seats in the up-coming midterms which could be considered competitive out of 435. [0]

For the presidential election, the electoral college makes it possible for a candidate to win the presidency with a mere 23% of the popular vote.

> Analogy is not an argument.

Just for sake of clarity, formal analogy is a valid, non-fallacious argument because it's based on parity of reasoning.

The original comment made a pretty good, arguably formal analogy between asbestos and C. The only way to dismiss the conclusion is if there were no alternative to asbestos, then you're kinda forced to use asbestos. This is the case for C in some contexts, like some microcontrollers that only come with C compilers. It's not generally true that we need C for much else though.
No, I believe you're conflating the principal place of activity with the registered agent -- they do not have to be the same.

The registered agent is responsible for getting served, receiving legal mail, and other government correspondence on behalf of the company and forwarding it along in a timely manner.

This is different than a mailing address because a process server or government employee must be able to physically walk into the premises of either the principal place of activity or registered agent, deliver the notice/correspondence/etc. to someone, and record who they handed it off to at what time.
Uh,???, that is not how it works. The highest gear ration and the lowest gear ratios aren't set by the number of gears.. That is set by an engineer based on expected usage. More gears just allow the car/driver to pick a more efficient gear for a given speed.

Ex: https://media.ford.com/content/dam/fordmedia/North%20America...

Note that the top end gearing is pretty similar between the manual and automatics. There is a larger difference in 1st gear, which implies that the automatics might launch a bit faster, although I'm no expert it might just be compensating for the lack of being able to dump the clutch.

Also, it is possible to build manuals with more gears, it just isn't usually done for weight and ergonomic issues unless your driving something like an 18 wheeler.
Data point 1: US unemployment at 3.7% is at a record low.

Data point 2: Part of my job is hiring mid or senior engineers on the west coast (or remote) with good salary/rsu/compensation packages (not quite FAANG level but not far off) and it's incredibly hard to find people and get them to sign when they have lots of competing offers.
I think you're thinking short term. I don't think Russia cares democrat or republican, they want exactly what's happening - lack of confidence in the election process. Trump benefitted because he's reading from the same playbook - push a lack of confidence in the election process.

From Russia's standpoint, they can't take down the US. The US can certainly destroy itself from the inside though.

If we assume the GOP is already questioning all election results, then this most recent comment from Russia will bring more of the left in to question the results. When everyone questions the results, the US has a big problem.
Is this how you estimate people in Europe do rank alternatives, or just how you think they should?
We hugely underestimate how processed all of our senses are.

Hearing doesn't listen to pressure waves. It does some very complex real time source separation to distinguish between different sound sources.

Then it performs overtone and resonance matching to identify different speakers.

Then it follows up with phoneme recognition to identify words - which somehow identifies phoneme invariants across a wide range of voice types, including kids, male/female, local/foreign and social register(class)/accent.

Then it recognises emotional cues from intonation, which again are invariant across a huge range of sources.

And then finally its labels all of that as linguistic metadata, converts the phonemes into words, and parses the word combinations.

It's not until you try to listen to a foreign language that you hear the almost unprocessed audio for what it is. And even that still has elements of accent and intonation recognition.
I agree, attack vectors need to be predicted but more so defensive contacts and perimeters that are mission critical.
It may be a bit cliche now but I realised earlier in the year that a lot of the games I played growing up are now considered retro, so I've started in on collecting consoles/games I used to play as a kid.

Already grabbed a psx/OG Xbox and massively enjoying replaying stuff as I collect the games, too.

Picked up a GBC/GBA and rebuilt them to use modern OLED screens as well. Enjoying those a lot as I forgot just how dark the original screens are on them (memories abound of using the little streetlight available in dark car-rides home).

Still need to pick up a DS/PSP and eventually a 360 I think. After my 360 got stolen in uni I threw my toys & went PC-only.
Of course it can work on smoothing it out. Most instances do upgrades and use the same software. Short term interface changes and long term they can work on protocol changes.

> Assume an SPA and the response of an API call was typed with CountryCode in some field, then somebody just worked on the API - I prefer to crash my world close to were my assumption doesn't fit anymore, but YMMW.

Agreed on crashing, but I prefer to push validation to the boundaries of my process and let the type checker prove that all code within my process is well-typed.

Defensive programming deep in my code for errors that the type checker is designed to prevent feels wasteful to me, both of CPU cycles and programmer thought cycles. Type errors within a process can only occur if you abuse TypeScript escape hatches or blindly trust external data. So don't cast unless you've checked first, and check your type assumptions about data from untrusted APIs before you assign it to a variable of a given type.

This works only if the product you are selling has near 100% margin. If there is COGS involved (cost of goods sold), if your widget costs $15 to make it does not matter what target customer purchasing power is, you have to sell it at >=$15 or you are losing money. This is why you can not go to Somalia and purchase a Tesla for $10k or rent AWS compute at 1/10 of price for others.

Patents are just inherently bad. There is no way to morally/ethically justify them nor to "fix" the inherently broken system. This is just one of those unquestioned relics from the past that clutches at shackling the youth for the sake of the old entrenched powers, and thus holds back humanity.

For the torus, what you call the boundary is no different from any of the other cells. If you were to live on such a grid, you’d be able to find out that it’s a torus and how many grid items there are, but you wouldn’t be able to see any difference between the individual grid cells.
You call out Reddit but has private messages, private subs; essentially boundaries like the domain name system.

> a much more efficient method would be to make the rule that if a citizen finds prior art more than 5 years older than the filing of the patent, then the patent holder must pay $1000 to the citizen and the patent will be invalidated

This would instantly lead to every patent being constantly challenged by everyone. All the time. Since you've created a non-judicial venue for these claims and counterclaims to be settled, you've also created a parallel legal profit centre.

Vigilante justice is terrible not only for being gruesome, but also quite inefficient.

It’s notable because he was indicted by Muller for election interference, so it’s confirming the accusation that Russia attempted to influence the 2016 election. It’s also newsworthy because many people didn’t (or still don’t) believe any election interference happened, and that it’s the first time (that I’m aware of) where a foreign nation was accused of so directly and materially attempting to influence a US election.

But you’re right, I’m sure lots of countries do this all the time, including the US.
Its not moot, no. Because Taiwan has its own laws, taxes, border, and military, and this has been the case for 70 years.

What I'm not aware of is what you're saying, that RSS is a way to let people know what content I'm consuming.

Not really. Truth is, the hugely fat people on freakshow TV are pretty rare even in America; if they were at all common then there wouldn't be much of a market for such shows in the US ("you're just gonna show me ordinary people like me? yawn.") You might see one or two hugely fat people at Wal-Mart, but they'll be surrounded by dozens of people who are plump but otherwise mobile, and they'll be surrounded by dozens of people who are fit by European standards.

Because about a year ago, he sent me a link to an interview he had given about the new thing he was passionate about. I congratulated him and asked a few questions out of kindness. Yeah, the response was exactly what you could imagine. All future emails from him go directly to the trash.

>> you can turn off every privacy-centric feature in Windows.

I don't believe that's true for all telemetry data; there's an option between enhanced & core/basic or similar, but it cannot be disabled.

I use windows as my daily driver for both work and home and what kills me, and your argument IMO, is that forced updates turn on new features and old ones that I've disabled, and dark patterns put your typical user in a state where the only available option appears to be enabling the function. Cortana is a great example of this, if you accidently run it while disabled (how is that even possible?) you cannot exit, and the UI implies you need to continue, which gets you to enable it. You can't quit, only minimize to the tray, then the dialog pops up frequently. You need to end the process from the process explorer, which most users are not going to do.

I used to buy all windows computers directly from the Microsoft store because they were optimized to run windows as well as possible, so had no bloatware or add-on garbage. now Windows itself includes all these features and add-ons, which seems so short-sighted.

You don't really understand, actually.

They do not want to take over china, and they do not claim that china belongs to them.

Instead, what is happening is that they are not clarifying this stance publicly, because if they clarify that they are not part of china, then china will threaten military action against them.

Taiwan is already independent, has no intention of unifying with china, and instead just has to play this game because china threatens them.
> Why not trade a maximum penalty for that evidence

Because of 5th Amendment issues.

Admittedly I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about this or attempting to guess the weight of strangers, but this gender breakdown seems a bit odd to me— in my circles and community exposure (west of Toronto), I would have imagined that most guys fell into a 180-220 bucket, and most women into a 120-150 one.

So it's a bit surprising to see that in these official US numbers, men are indeed around that, but women are somewhat above it.
Agreed; I'd give it full marks if it were optimized for mobile.
Which? Apart from the twitter case, which was ages ago and largely overblown, there's no case that I can remember of ditching ruby for tech X because "for scale".

The particular election interference in question was "couping" and the question was where the US had done it recently.

You can be outraged at what happened to Salvador Allende and Patrice Lumumba and all that. I think you should be! And at the same time you can realize that was some time ago and if you don't believe in eternal collective punishment (everyone in Mongolia must suffer for what Genghis Khan did!), then it is relevant that the US is behaving better now and Russia isn't.

And regardless of all this, whataboutism is a counsel of despair: no good can ever be done by anyone because everyone's nation has done bad at some point. Everyone should silently take the abuse. If you truly believe there is such a thing as bad behavior, you don't silence criticism of one act by pointing to another act. You criticize both acts. And your criticism is proportional to the relevance of the act. It sucks that the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes drove out the Britons, but that isn't the top problem to solve anymore.

I used to do the same, trust news agencies, which until recently were neutral and had much higher standards. But those are going fast. I think the most shocking example for me is when Reuters embargo-ed a story about Beto O'Rourke's hacking past, until after the 2018 election to not risk helping Cruz. And I have seen countless news agency articles that were clearly politically biased since.
