Nobody ever really solved the key exchange problem, and almost everyone values deliverability over confidentiality: one big failure mode of an encrypted system is your mail not being read by the intended recipient, and for most people for most use cases that's more important than guaranteed confidentiality.
In criminal law, for intent, the prosecution doesn't have to prove no other intent, or what the "main intent" was. In fact, in some legal systems (perhaps the US as well) it is often enough to establish that the accused:

1. Was aware of his relevant actions

2. Was aware the actions are likely to have the relevant effect

3. Acted anyway

and - again, in some legal systems - this creates a presumption of intent. The onus is then on the accused to establish that they had an entirely different intent (in which case they acted "recklessly") or was not actually aware of the consequences (in which case they acted "negligently" because they should have been aware).

I am not a (US) lawyer, so I'm not sure that's the exact legal situation for Trump.

> the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous were derived from the 4 steps of the Oxford Group

This is true. It's also true that AA broke off from the Oxford Group ("kicked out", according to Lois W, the wife of founder Bill W) for being too agnostic. Apparently it was pretty dramatic- see "AA Started In Riots" by Roger C. for more. [1]

> The word god is constantly thrown around in meetings and throughout the literature and, make no mistake, that is a Christian god they are talking about.

The meetings I went to were quite secular. I'm vehemently agnostic, and I never once felt like the people there were proselytizing to me. If they had, I would have left real quickly and not gone back.

Most of the meetings I went to were in SF, LA, NYC, Shanghai, etc.), making it easier to find secular meetings that were run by people like me. Someone living in small-town America might have a different experience from mine. Hopefully with the advent of Zoom meetings, this is now less of an issue, but I can’t say since I left AA before Zoom became a thing.

Each meeting is meant to be independent from the others, and each has its own bent. You'll find meetings for Christians but also meetings for atheists, just like you'll find mens' meetings, womens' meetings, young peoples' meetings, etc.

> 12-step meetings are typically held in churches.

I've been to meetings in church basements and Sunday school rooms, but I've also been to meetings at American Legion halls, recreation fields, City Halls, even the basement of a donut shop.

Consider the cost of running a meeting. Literally their only revenue source is donations from attendees. Giving a donation might be hard for someone who has just hit rock bottom, and it can be expensive to rent a room for use as an Alano Club. Churches might be more likely to cut AA groups a break on the rent.

I don't want to be accused of promotion by either HN or AA, so I won't link to them, but secular AA meetings are plentiful and pretty easy to Google. Secularism is part of AA’s "12 Traditions", as well. [2]

All that said, if AA still feels too religious for someone, there are other groups out there which don’t make use of the “higher power” concept in any capacity. Again, I maintain that AA doesn’t have a monopoly on sobriety.

> But I think each prong of attack opens up a little more of Trumps weakness and eventually, either through weight of legal cost or dumb luck they will find something to hang him with.

The thing that surprised me yesterday was learning that being convicted of a felony doesn't prevent you from running for public office or the office of President of the United States! So it seems like a pretty impotent "hanging". I had assumed that barring him from running for re-election was the major motivation behind pursing these indictments, but I guess that's not the case. So that suggests that these moves are mainly about public opinion? If that's what it is, then this particular indictment seems like the weakest of the possible ones that have been talked about. Taking all this into account, I can't help but think that this kind of plays into Trump's desire to be the center of attention.
The problem is the stomping isn't uniform. Whatever's being used as an adulterant, the end product has chunks of adulterant, and chunks of fentanyl, and this is what ends up killing people, because they end up with a life ending sliver of fentanyl from the heterogeneous mixture of drugs.
Wow...who needs friends with enemies like that. But jeez...you'd think they would have at least learned their lesson.
I was pretty convinced 2 years ago (around the time of the injecting hydrochloric acid comments) that Trump would be almost universally be considered a national embarrassment by now. If there weren't powerful people running around deliberately trying to inflate support for him hoping it will somehow work out in their own interests I'm still pretty sure he would be.

Hello, I am a human who tells everyone to START by reading philosophy books.

Here’s the difference…

Your modern “AI” is a linguistic hologram (potential wave fronts) resolving into your perspective via the implementation’s virtual machine (my distillation).

I call this level of technology feature driven automated statistics, though these offerings continue to impress and improve in iteratively new ways. Who knows how long Truth even stays the truth anymore?

Your brain is also a holographic rendering (millions of composite probably.)

The purpose of reading those books, is that YOUR holographic familiarity with the intellectual tradition thus far is enhanced. ETCHED by your internal experience of these tellings.

You START by catching up on 10,000 years of human thought and recorded experience. THEN your brow will be raised above that of your fellow, less “traveled” human.

And that’s it!

What does philosophy teach you?

Be happy poor, or know the world wants to eat and shit you, become a strategist by keeping your mouth shut and securing your own independence. (Or something otherwise only your life can compute.)

The German Government isn‘t far behind. Just yesterday we advertised an E-15 (government pay scale) role for head of software architecture in Munich, which translates to roughly 60k € / year. This is what a junior software developer can expect after either a Master‘s or a year or so of experience in his first job.

The problem‘s don‘t stop there. I currently work a government job until I can start my PhD, so I know what it‘s like. Office Job workers joke about „attractive addons“ like free lunches on friday, a well stocked coffee machine, a nice looking office or a foosball table in the office. I say you don‘t know you‘re missing something until it‘s no longer there.

The German Government tends to offer nothing like this. My office is a gray block of concrete. I‘ve asked for some pictures and some greenery in the form of plants, which was denied. My office chair sucks compared to what I‘m used to, my desk looks like it came straight out of offices in the DDR. There are no free drinks in the office, no fruits or interesting lunch talks.

It‘s bleak.

Do you mean current A.I.? Say ChatGPT?

If so... current AI doesn't read. It is just a mechanical parrot. It looks at the words in a book and learns how to determine the probability of word responses. That is it. It isn't learning anything, it isn't even reading anything.

A human reading a book teaches them how to think, opens their mind to new ideas and connections, and so much more.

Or do you mean a general AI and something in the future out of a science fiction book with sentience?

Mm, ok, sure, yeah. Well, I just don’t think salary is what we should benchmark it off.

I agree it’s not. But for two reasons, one we shouldn’t be benchmarking it off salary. Two: companies should pay what they value, not about salary. It could be a lot more than salary. It could be a lot less. It should be: What’s the value of this OSS to the company?

Equity is literally about pushing everybody down to the lowest level. Are there any examples where that has not been the outcome? Some advocate it out of ignorance, some out of malice. The result is the same, everybody is worse off.
One thing the U.S. does is put out grants to investigate some thing. They might want someone to do some preliminary research, or build a product, or whatever.

One of the stipulations of many of these grants is that some large percentage of funds have to go directly to costs associated with the research: paying employees, buying equipment, renting office space, whatever. I don't remember what the actual number usually is, but it's a pretty high percentage, something like 80 or 90%. It's fairly low risk because, if I understand correctly, you get paid even if the result isn't particularly useful. But if your company has a track record of good results, they're more likely to get more grants in the future.

Big corporations wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pool because they expect much higher profit margins than 10 or 20%. Unless it's funding something they were planning to do anyways, in which case it might make sense. I think the company that does the research is usually free to commercialize the tech if they want to.
I think the main point is — the AI don't really read and understand, they read and remember the patterns of words, which is different from understanding. They see a chain of words often enough that it becomes statistically the next best output based on some input. (with some randomness in-between.)
The ratio is probably more like 1/5 if you believe the results of the Capture Rates study on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substance_dependence.

> There is a huge amount of democratic energy on both sides.

This is not true, as the entire gain on the right has been on the back of disenfranchment, gerrymandering, populism and threats of anti democratic measures.

This goes from having no polls in democratic areas, to passing laws making it hard, confusing or impossible to register and get mail in ballots on time.

Having people with guns near voting stations, having the sitting president asking people "to find the votes", having the media peddle a stolen election when the president lost the popular vote twice.

None of that is democratic energy.Then again the GOP went to 2024 without a manifesto. First time in political history that a running party doesn't even make promises, but who cares, they were not there to win votes but to make others lose them.

> The only reason this hasn't led to civil war like situation is because

Its because one side is economically, and numerically dwarfing the other. What are states with the economy of a third world country and the population of a medium city gonna do if federal taxes stop propping up their economy. Since 2008 not a single Republican state has paid more in taxes than has taken in federal income. They are all sucking the tit of the federal gov and a "civil war" situation would end in about 5 minutes when their entire military doesn't get paid.

>...no sane English colonist would have chosen to renounce the crown...

Consider that while the rate of economic productivity was much lower during the colonial era, the average rate of tax was between 1% and 1.5%. I have seen figures quoted as high as 3%.

For this, a revolution was mounted. The indignation of being taxed by parliament (not the crown) without a chance to vote compelled colonists to take up arms. Contrast this to today's general apathy towards the political process, low voter turnout, higher rates of taxation and unending regulation of citizens' lives.
