The point of banning racism is so people don't feel comfortable doing it in public
Because once that's there, systematic racism is going to be back, things won't stop at the random jerk level.
Being a jerk might be because someone had a bad day etc, it's not loaded, you can counter it and it's not organized hate.
But racism is different, racism targets anyone who looks like you, and it's usually organized efforts and loaded with ideas about dehumanizing people.

sometimes things escalate and this same random jerk might murder you if they think there is a high chance they will escape the justice system because you're basically a subhuman under the new laws that these lighthearted racists passed.

You can't make everyone good and decent, but you can for sure punish the racists and limit their access to power and that's what banning does in this case.
Again, I think at this point everybody is clear that there is no reason whatsoever to believe that the owners of the 1.1-encumbered WOTC IP are going to be magnanimous, open-minded, or tolerant in any way. What's weird is that we're stuck on this side-show of an issue. 1.1 probably doesn't even need the morality clause; it probably gives Hasbro enough power to revoke any specific relier's license for any reason or no reason at all even without the morality clause. If that's the case, all WOTC is doing with the morality clause is being nice enough to warn you about something that was true either way.

In reality, the morality clause is probably a response to some high-profile tabletop RPG stories involving Nazis; in other words, it's a marketing move, not a legal one.
No startup is going to do didly-squat about the climate. If you want to reduce CO2 you will need nation-state commitment to nuclear power. Nothing else matters.

To repeat myself again:

> The fact check does not address the sentence I quoted, where they tested the "genomic DNA" and found a match to the mRNA vaccine.
> These guys aren't looking for intelligent people.

Never said they were.

They’re likely looking for men, specially young (but old enough to have some savings), middle class (so you have a high enough paying job), preferably single, and even better with low to no financial know how.
I don't think it's a mystery. Ad targeting usually doesn't know which people have just bought a vacuum, just that someone has been looking at vacuums recently. People who have been looking at vacuums are far more likely than the typical person to buy one, so it's not surprising that it would be worth showing them an ad reminding them that they can buy one from you. Especially with higher margin products like mattresses or cars.

But how do we explain how there are also advertisers like Amazon who do know that you just bought a vacuum from them and still show you more ads for it? Since Amazon is in a position to run principled A/B tests on whether showing these ads leads to sales that otherwise wouldn't have happened, and they are the kind of organization I'd expect to get this right, this part I am willing to accept without external evidence. It's probably that the likelihood of additional purchases of the same item, for yourself or others, is high enough, combined with that the cost of advertising to you is low enough.

> Apple gets a special pass because it's pretty much the Louis Vuitton of electronics.

Based on my observations, in the 90s and early 00s before Apple had become more of a lifestyle/fashion-oriented brand, in Japan there was a small but enthusiastic fanbase. There were a few models of Mac that were sold only or mostly in Japan, and when I was roaming the web in search of Mac software and tweaks back in the late 90s I remember encountering Japanese websites at a greater frequency than I did non-English sites of any other language (if I recall, French was the runner-up).

That said I've not had much of this corroborated by anybody who lived in Japan during that timespan so I don't have a full picture. When I lived there in the early 10s I did see a number of old (10+ years) Macs in use in places like reception desks though.
To elaborate, rsync chunks in fixed sizes, so inserting or deleting a few bytes makes all different chunks from that point onward.

If instead you chunk based off of local content (conceptually like chunking text into sentences at periods, but its a binary thing on has an upper size limit and lower size limit and I couldn't find the algorithm specification) so that after an insertion or deletion in a small number of bytes you start getting the same chunks as before.

This drastically reduces the cost of identifying unmodified chunks.

Some of the blame lies with the system of non-profits and perverse incentives (if they solve the problem they cease to exist and their upper management and other grifters lose their cushy jobs), so they devise solutions that seem plausible yet never produce results for the target population, except again for the upper management and system.
Beforehand, I should say that I'm neither a doctor nor a medical researcher. So my expertise is low.

However, I have some understanding about science in general. Probably, medical research is flawed like many other disciplines. If people see science as a way of proving what's true, then, it must fail. If people see science as a way of what sticks (or corroborates in Popper’s terms), then it’s not as bad as we think. As long as one paper by a young PhD can render industry-funded or other biased research obsolete, we can still expect progress. I would have expected the author to explain this in the article.

Otherwise many interesting bits of information. Especially the zombie science.

Meanwhile the guy that wrote the license says:

> I reached out to the architect of the original Open Gaming License, former VP of Wizard of the Coast, Ryan Dancey, and asked his opinion about the current plan by WotC to 'deauthorize' the current OGL in favour of a new one.

> He responded as follows:

>> Yeah my public opinion is that Hasbro does not have the power to deauthorize a version of the OGL. If that had been a power that we wanted to reserve for Hasbro, we would have enumerated it in the license. I am on record numerous places in email and blogs and interviews saying that the license could never be revoked.

* https://www.enworld.org/threads/ryan-dancey-hasbro-cannot-de...

If intent matters in contract law, then the intent of the license was (per WotC and its representatives at the time) for it to be non-revocable. WotC had publicly stated that this was their intent:

> 7. Can't Wizards of the Coast change the License in a way that I wouldn't like?

> Yes, it could. However, the License already defines what will happen to content that has been previously distributed using an earlier version, in Section 9. As a result, even if Wizards made a change you disagreed with, you could continue to use an earlier, acceptable version at your option. In other words, there's no reason for Wizards to ever make a change that the community of people using the Open Gaming License would object to, because the community would just ignore the change anyway.

* https://web.archive.org/web/20060106175610/http://www.wizard...

Further:

> Q: What is meant by the term "Open Gaming"?

> A: An Open Game is a game that can be freely copied, modified, and distributed, and a system for ensuring that material, once distributed as an Open Game will remain permanently Open.

* https://web.archive.org/web/20010429033432/http://www.wizard...

So was WotC lying about intent in the past, or are they lying about intent now? If there was deceit, does that open them up to civil action?

Regardless, it's doubtful that anyone has the money to battle WotC/Hasbro to settle this in court.
It would be if it wasn't for Jesus Christ, but then being a Christian wouldn't make any sense at all.

From a Christian point of view – see Romans 11:11-31 – the Jews/Israel is seen as the cultivated olive tree, and all Christian Gentiles – i.e. all Christians that are not Jewish – are seen as "a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree" i.e. the Jewish/Israeli tree (Romans 11:24). So as a Christian Gentile you therefore take part in God's words and promises to the Jews/Israel as a grafted olive tree.

But Jesus Christ brought something completely new to the table. He say about Himself that He came to fullfil the Law and the Prophets of the Old Testament (Matthew 5:17-20). He also said: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).

In this way Christianity is not Judaism stripped for export, Jesus Christ is the culmination of all that was said in the Law and by the Prophets.

15MWh of storage seems very high? I appreciate I don't know your raw numbers of production and consumption, but don't you still produce some power during the winter? ie; you would only need to cover your shortfall.

For context, I live in the cloudy-ish south of Australia, and have similar problems with our solar power in winter. However, we still produce reasonable amounts of power through the day, and our total winter shortfall is only about 500 kwh, once offset against the daily production.

So for us, 500kwh -> 2080.8 MJ -> 462.4 litres of storage required (assuming 4.5 MJ / litre and ignoring round trip losses), which seems an entirely reasonable for local storage, safety aspects not withstanding.

That's a good point. I think a shopping site might be able to succeed in arguing that they had a legitimate interest in tracking how people arrived on their site, but possibly not. On the other hand, if half of your visitors consent to tracking that's enough to have a pretty good sense of the value you're getting from each source.

No, this is fundamental game theory. Independent of what you’re measuring, if it isn’t growing, the game is zero sum. By definition. Of course if something else is growing that game may not be zero sum.

That number is curiously close to the reported cost of the new debt Musk added.

Why is this insane? It seems like you're simply describing derived works. The reason derived works are so reliable in open source software is that the license grants used to do the derivation are irrevocable. But licenses are revocable by default; GPL goes out of its way to be irrevocable. The concern (and Hasbro's recent statements) is that 1.0a does not.
It's dishonest to call it a recent 5-year trend.
Is there a name for believing in something enough to make it work, but not so much that you really believe it will solve your problems?

I was raised in a strict Christian Fundamentalist religion, then I fell in love with rational skepticism, now I think I'm a humanist (whatever that means)

I think humanity has evolved religion uncountable times over the centuries - our minds strongly desire an organizing principle. It is highly inefficient to avoid coming to a conclusion; but many important details hide behind things that are both true and satisfying (see Field Guide to Human Error by Dekker for how this applies to airplane crashes).

I would ask that at least once a week, identify a thing that is satisfying and true, and list details that hide behind that conclusion.

A function pointer is the mechanism by which you realise a callback.

For me, a callback, is when you have two modules and the function pointer is used to call back the functionality from the calling module in an environment and at a time determined by the called module.

A polymorphic method is a callback used in a certain way in context of OOP. You have a callback from one module (the implementation) passed to another module that can call potentially many different implementations through the same interface (which makes it polymorphic). This callback is tied to the structure by the calling module, which makes it a method. You may have language support and have entire mechanism hidden from you, but this is essentially what is happening. A pointer to function that is passed to another module for execution.

Now, when you do "manual" OOP in C without building your own vtable macros and such, I think "polymorphic method" is a bit too much and "callback" is more fitting.

I see people filming themselves at the gym a lot for tiktok videos I assume. Both men and women alike. I've seen them set up tripods or have camera assistants who circle around them filming. It makes me extremely uncomfortable being in the background of a sexualized gym video. Let's not kid ourselves, that's what a lot of these videos are, give me a break. They aren't just filming their abs or biceps or squat video from behind just purely for fitness' sake and they are well aware that their followers are not just really into fitness.

I wouldn't really care if they did it by themselves. For one thing I just don't want to be identified in the background of what is essentially softcore erotica and for another I don't want to be identifiable by Chinese AI or have some sort of weird profile set up that matches my features on their end (or anywhere).

These are real actual harms in my opinion and not just gripes about the next generation.

Ignoring the existence of big-endian computers is not really common sense. They DO exist. And it'd be very useful to test in both little and big-endian architectures. I cover the endianness tests by running my TravisCI pipelines on amd64 and s390x, but both run on Linux, which is sub-optimal. I should probably add AIX so that I'm not implying the OS is Linux and importing linuxisms into the code when it should be more portable than that.
