Either a fetus is a human being, or it is not. Either murder is wrong, or it is not. We could have a nuanced discussion on, for example, societal pressures that drive people to abortion; but the central question is not "nuanced" at all.
Absolutely - perhaps I was being too subtle, or simply unclear. Damning with faint praise implies that this isnt a meaningful improvement.
I would encourage you to consider not even trying to cripple the freely available self-hosted version. Personally I'm not a fan of open core or the GitLab business model, and Sentry has shown you can build a business without removing needed features from the self-hosted version. While folks may not agree Sentry is "open source" these days, our license effectively achieves the same from a customer pov as yours (which is ideal for customers). More people should take the risk IMO.

Ultimately people do not want to run all their own services if they can pay someone else to run it for them.

Mbeki, The president of south Africa ran a program denying aids was caused by a virus. His health minister instead recommend lemon juice and beetroot.

"In the following eight years of his presidency, Mbeki continued to express sympathy for HIV/AIDS denialism, and instituted policies denying antiretroviral drugs to AIDS patients.[1] The Mbeki government even withdrew support from clinics that started using AZT to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV. He also restricted the use of a pharmaceutical company's donated supply of nevirapine, a drug that helps keep newborns from contracting HIV"

> our track record is short, only about 300kY, for comparison while not a specific species the dinosaurs lasted for around 175000kY, and were the dominant life form for 135000, until they were taken out by an asteroid, apex species did last for millions of years

I think that's a pretty bad comparison. A much better comparison is with a species that's also a mammal, spread world-wide, extremely adaptable and exhibits group behavior.

The Canidae genus fits the bill nicely, which includes foxes, jackals, and of course, wolves and dogs.

They have a pretty good track record of ~9000kY of being virtually unchanged from their current forms and inhabit all parts of the world, including some fairly remote islands.

Technically that can be said for any species that breeds beyond carrying capacity of its local environment. Humans are no different.

Whole Foods is a very large grocer with contractual obligations to buy a certain quantity of eggs. They also have declining foot traffic and price-sensitive customers.

At the moment, eggs are probably a loss-leader for them and they're encouraged to still move on volume.

If you look at the data in this app as a whole, the stores with the highest egg prices are small chains with low buying-power.
My experience is, that the „quality“ of the mail server‘s IP really matters. The worst experience I got was with digital ocean. A lot of providers just don’t accept email from their IP ranges. Some of them just completely block all DO IPs on router level, and refuse unblocking.

For my current server I had to switch IPs a few times, until I got one that was not blocked by any of the major providers. Unblocking a once blacklisted IP seems to be practically impossible.

And hotmail or outlook.com just mark a lot of email as spam. I see it now as a problem of the recipients. Office365 just accepts the same emails, it seems to be a strategy of the free mail providers, to give their non-paying customers a worse experience.
You know, social aspect of smoking was fairly usual reason to start smoking. Because, people are social animals. And like it or not, there was period when smoking meant making networking connections non-smokers did not had access to. The proposed solution has nothing in it for girls.

It seems like you're the one that has the problem and I'm not sure why. You know it's ridiculous so that's clearly not the problem. The answer is the same if it wasn't a ridiculous hypo, so that's not the problem either. I'll also point out that I wasn't the one posing the ridiculous hypo, I was giving the answer that is applicable to both ridiculous and realistic hypos.

Do you think my answer was incorrect for a real world example?

In past court cases that resembled those situations, I believe the courts have ruled that it depends on what the bulk of the work consisted of (to oversimplify).

Worst case, I think, any ambiguity would be around how much is human work. I could imagine an extreme situation where you created a work modified by AI where the AI contribution was great enough to turn it into a new work. I'd expect in such a situation, a court might rule that your original work was copyrightable, but the derivative work is not.

So there is an area where things are not clear-cut, but it appears to me to be edge cases. Not surprising with something new on the scene. I expect future court rulings will clarify things.
Strictly speaking, Olber's Paradox is about an infinite, eternal/static, and homogeneous universe with an infinite number of stars; in such a case, the light the dust absorbs would cause the dust itself to start emitting light, which would make it visible [0]. I'm not sure to what extent this paradox applies outside that scenario (e.g., an infinite-but-changing universe)

There are use cases for more complicated service discovery, especially discovery of external services, but for the scenario I described, which in involved discovery within our own network this all just would have added extra complexity for no benefit that would have made any difference to us.

Note that service discovery was not listed as one of the reasons I think http doesn't solve the issues that made us choose a mail server back then..the exact same service discovery mechanism would have worked just fine for http too. But we'd still have had to build all the message broker code from scratch instead of picking and choosing from pre-existing components.

It was not our intent; she is not our oldest and we were surprised how unmotivated she was to plan outings with friends without using the phone compared to others.

A phone is clearly a non-essential thing since she was able to function the first 13 years of her life without one. We have rules around proper phone use and there was a violation that was both significant, and a repeat offense, so the phone went away for an extended period of time.

P.S. I don't know what kind of grounding you had, but I sure as hell wasn't allowed to talk with my friends when I was grounded (by the time I got a phone in my room, it was removed whenever I was grounded).

Read the brief filed by The Onion. It is hilarious, but also a masterwork in arguing that parody only works by initially fooling people into believing it is real, which is illustrated by its own parodies of a legal brief. People have been trying to sue parody creators for not including a disclaimer since before the US existed, see Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal. They cite ample precedents that US courts have consistently held that disclaimers are not needed to distinguish parody from sincere libel/slander for a "reasonable person," who precedent holds is not the average person or a "lowest-common denominator, but of reasonable intelligence and learning."

I have been telling friends and family that they need to focus on things close to home and not worry or get all red in the face about stuff they see on the internet and "News". That they need to compartmentalize that stuff and keep in context.

I learned this lesson back around the early 80s. When I got off work I'd stop and grab some food and then go home and watch the "News". The station I watched started off with local Los Angeles and State news for a 1/2 hour, then a 1/2 hour of National News, then another of World News.

The station was a predecessor to "FOX News" and was purchased by FOX just a few years later. They focused almost entirely on negative news, car crashes, murders, rapes, robberies, etc. So by the end of 1.5 hours I had consumed most all the major tragedies for the entire planet, and I was depressed AF.

I finally realized that it was consuming all that "bad news" was the cause of that because days when I didn't consume it I felt fine.

That was just 1.5 hours a day, 5 days a week, of my routine back then.

Nowadays I would offer you need to put your phone down and spend more time doing something you can learn from and enjoy, like friends and family, like people did before the internets.
There's a huge difference between the US having an international network of law enforcement co-operation (even if we do have boots on the ground doing investigative work) and the Chinese Police Stations going out and strongarming people individually.

Countries are supposed to have a monopoly on the use of force within their borders. Lending it out is good international relations. Not that it's never acceptable to violate that - The Takedown of Bin Laden was a law enforcement action taken overseas by the US military in a country that was not informed until after it was on it's way out.

Also don't forget, Carter was brave enough to get the fed to kill the inflation monster by forcing high interest rates which he knew would tank the economy into recession. It was a terrible price to pay on the economy but seems like the right idea in retrospect. Then the next president benefited a few years later when inflation ended (and took credit for it of course). Not many presidents would be willing to do that.

Social Contagion[1] is more prevalent in females. So is an affinity for people/relationships over objects. I suspect it's nearly as toxic for males if they were to consume on equal doses, but social media is naturally more tuned for relationship (and subjective) focus than object (and objective) focus.

Would be great if we could start doing properly controlled trials with folks who _never_ use these things we're widespread experimenting across the population. A few examples that might make sense: social media, pornography usage, and perhaps any fast tracked vaccines. Might make sense to have even just a few randomized folks be controls for research purposes. As of now you likely cannot find even a single person over ~15 who hasnt used social media/porn ever in their lifetime.

Because I have a teenage stepdaughter, and I would like to make her life easier, not harder, and social media seems to be a net negative. It's unfortunately so integrated into the lives of teenagers they can't get away from it. I learned the hard way that social media was also bad for me, and I no longer use it (if you don't count HN and web-forums as social media).

I also don't like restricting access to information in the general sense, but social media isn't "information" in anything but the broadest sense of terms.

> I don't want social media companies to have access to my ID

You don't want them to know your real name and age? Then don't use them. Social media is harmful and so it needs more regulation and safety. You can't enter a casino right now without an ID. You either accept that the casino will know your name and age when you enter it or you don't go to the casino. It's so funny when tech folks think their little shitty thing is something special that should not have to follow any logical common sense laws like everything else in the world.

Besides, the whole point of social media is to connect with friends, family and other real people. Being anonymous is anti social. People who are scared of disclosing their real name are the ones who shouldn’t be on social media anyway. If we all had real identities on social media it would be so much less toxic than it is today.

Social media absolutely is information. For example, I can tell you from experience that it is very hard to really learn about another country if you are not living there unless you go read what the people of that country are saying on social media. What journalists write about the country is usually a very narrow view in comparison to all the information that becomes available to you if you read what people who live there are writing on social media.

Do you think that maybe you could make your stepdaughter's life easier not by restricting her access to information, but by teaching her how to interact with that information in a way that is healthy?
