Sure, if you pollute a ditch and then the pollution runs off into a river then you you have run afoul of the Clean Water Act. But if all you’re doing is filling in a ditch with soil then you haven’t. That’s all the homeowner in this case ever did. They’re not a huge corporation dumping toxic chemicals into a river, they just filled in a ditch with soil. The ditch itself was dug by a previous owner of the property. Does the ditch count as a wetland? The court has decided that it does not.

> perversion of the basic concept of the rule of law.

You have this completely backwards. In the 70s when the CWA was created, the EPA did not consider every single ditch in America to be covered by the CWA. Congress didn’t modify the law to include every single ditch in America. They did, however, modify it in 1977 to include all “adjacent wetlands”. This was clearly intended to allow the CWA to apply to any wetland adjacent to a river or lake carrying interstate or international trade. But nobody back then thought that it covered the ditch in your back yard. It wasn’t until 2006 that the EPA started gradually expanding the scope of their activities, culminating in the present case where they are trying to assert their authority over every single place where water flows, or could flow.

The rule of law requires that people know what the law is, and it thus follows that it requires that the agencies which enforce the law may not gradually expand their definitions in order to grab more and more power. If you want the EPA to have more power, then tell your congresscritter to give it to them. Anything else is a perversion of the rule of law.
The way I propose does not preclude a fair trial. The way you propose (i.e. the status quo) precludes an informed electorate and introduces perverse incentives for those in power.

In my limited experience with one food-serving corporation, I found that their main issues were around quality. It is a very bad look to be serving unpalatable (but safe) food, period.

The thought is that since exceeding the expiration (or more accurately, the quality) date of the ingredients (for example, tomatos) renders the finished products as substandard in some way, its frankly kind of a dick move to serve food you wouldn't sell to paying hungry people to any hungry people let along poor hungry people.

Quality dates are a big part of spoilage in the food service industry, so the quality departments in all of these organizations try to min-max the dates to best represent their required quality, and of course their requirements are longevity, palatability and mostly sales.

If an otherwise reputable food retailer begins serving a secondary market with what is definitionally substandard products, it opens a large and murky doorway to liabilities extending far beyond a mere lawsuit. What if the next kitchen mishandles the food and serves gross food to people in need? Even hungry poor people will dislike week old, vinegary tomato slices.

There is also the possibility of cross contamination, but in general it is just best to avoid being one local news reporter away from revealing that FoodCo got $foo tax write off for serving mushy tomatoes to old people.

A better use of this resource would be to transfer the wasted or spoiled food to a facility which creates compost for local residents or farms.

I don't know how that follows from what I said. I was talking about German Hip-Hop, where I do understand the words just like a US-native listener would in US Hip-Hop. And for that, "it primarily has to have a really good beat, and really good flow in how the lyrics are presented" is true for me. I don't know why that would be different in a different language.

(By the way, I've been in the US long enough that the same is approximately true for US Hip-Hop by now, but that's neither here nor there.)

> i believe most the people in the US however are words above all listeners, and will accept subpar production, because theyre focused on the 'opera singer and the movie.'

That's what I dispute. Obviously I have no hard data, but just at a cursory look it seems to me that, in US Hip-Hop as well, good beats and flow with subpar lyrics tend to do better overall than good lyrics with subpart beats and flows.

This is no different from any other genre of music.

Neither Japan nor Germany needed "nation building", because the corresponding nations were already formed long before then.

As far as Ukraine and Iraq, one big difference is that there Iraq under Saddam was not fighting a war on its territory when US invaded in 2003. So you have to consider the number of people who would have likely died due to political repressions vs the number of people who died from the war and the resulting instability - and I don't think that arithmetic is in favor of the war even today.

OTOH in Ukraine it was Russia that invaded and forced the war on them, so from the perspective of outside assistance you have to compare the number of Ukrainians that would die resisting by themselves vs the number that will die resisting with Western aid. I don't think this comparison is a given either way - there's a lot of rhetoric in the West along the lines of, "if we didn't support them they'd fold quickly and then the war would be over", but given the determined resistance that we have seen and the sheer number of people who joined the volunteer territorial defense units and their willingness to engage early in the conflict (e.g. under Kyiv), I think it's more likely that even if Russia managed to occupy the entire country, it would still be dealing with large-scale guerilla warfare, with all the massive civilian casualties that entails.

The other key difference is that Iraqis under Saddam weren't really given a choice whether they preferred to suffer Saddam or an invasion to remove him. Ukrainians, OTOH, are pretty open about their preferences.
Ah I had a reading comprehension fail. I never noticed in your first sentence you said interrupt code. Well then I do not profess to understand much about that.

> Lock-free code by itself doesn't guarantee forward progress.

I think we have some definition differences here. What I have seen and have alluded to previously when you use tools like compare_exchange_strong is that the underlying machine does not guarantee forward progress. When you have 128 cores calling compare_exchange_strong at the same time, yes 1 of them will succeed and 127 of them will fail. But there is no guarantee that for a particular core, it will eventually succeed; it could always be among the 127 failing ones. I often see that on NUMA systems where many cores running on a single CPU are competing against one core running on a remote CPU. Due to the way hardware works, that remote CPU consistently takes longer to do each atomic operation, leading it to always fail.

So no, after 128x calls not every thread will succeed.

It's basic raw Imperialism. The Soviets were just the Russian Empire under another name, absolutely all of Putin's actions aka saying Ukrainians don't exist, calling them 'little Russians', the tactic of treating them as vassals, of viewing this as a conflict with the US and not Ukraine, his ultra nationalist rhetoric, his posturing as the saviour of the Slavs - it's actually kind of straight forward in those terms.

It's astonishing that in the West, so many people see short term things like money or resources, that is often the reality of it, and Crimea does have offshore Oil, but in 50 years he won't be remembered for that - he will be 'Putin the Great' for re-conquoring lost territories and uniting the Russian people and their Empire. Even if there is a stalemate now - it means over a 10 year period he took Crimea and a huge swath of land - that is a big win. It won't feel like a win for a few years, but in the long run of history it'll be viewed as a victory - an expansion of the empire.

For the same reason Westerners talk about China wanting to invade Taiwan for TSMC? Gosh no - they view Taiwan as 'China' - and all the states around them as 'natural vassals to their greater power' - and that's that, they are the 'Middle Kingdom Centre of the World' and Xi is on that mission.

Those guys are using 19th century geopolitics and ethnography, taking very long term view of things.

A victory for Ukraine is important to maintain some very basic and essential things we have come to expect in the world - not fancy ideals - just basic freedoms, democracy, rule of law etc..

The military industrial complex will take a pound of flesh unless we manage them effectively, but they are not driving this war, not even from the Russian side where most of the money is pilfered anyhow.

I don't see what the factual status of any of these policies have to do with the topic at hand. They're immaterial to the question of whether the Overton window has shifted right.

From what I gather, you seem to agree that the right has been and continues to argue for the same policies now as they did decades ago, and for basically the same reasons, and therefore, you must agree that they have not shifted the Overton window on those issues. The only issue they arguably expanded slightly rightward was abortion, and only very recently.

On most other issues it seems like the Overton window expanded to the left while the right side has not changed much.
> As for "making the world a better place", again, there seems to be some kind of implicit political agenda.

Ironically, Firefox could make the world a slightly better place (in a very specific aspect of the world) if they focused simply in making a great web browser, without unnecessary bells and whistles and without any politic posturing, but that aimed at denting the Chrome monopoly.

> Seat belts are a bad idea. People are still going to die in car crashes.

These examples are _such_ straw arguments. lol. Might as well prefix them with, "so this one time a guy in the subway / buddy of mine in the bar / guy on the radio says..." because at least that'd provide context toward a bit of face-validity.

And first, never reply with a logical fallacy PSA to someone who actually says this. It's a waste of time. Better to understand that logically-stunted sentence as permission to explore other, less-logic-focused ways of influencing them.

So many people who talk like this are not reasoning with logic. The logic is a foil for their emotion.

They are stressed out about things they can't control (seat belt laws for example), terrified of their own future (to say nothing of the world's), and therefore unsuited to this more formal debate & logic approach.

Better to say--"hey. I care about you buddy. I don't care if you think it's a secret plot by the lizard people, I hope you'll wear that seatbelt and not end up looking like one of those crash test dummies when a zombie driver crosses into your lane."

You expose the emotion in the room, you make a caricature of the fear, and you refer back to hard evidence in a visceral way.

But really. Still a straw man. I wish the examples themselves could be better characterized: Is this in a university class setting? A university bar with Ph.D. candidates? Or a bar full of military conscripts at the end of a hard day? Or some mommy blog that you can't help but comment on, as a Ph.D.??

If you know and can acknowledge _any_ of these things you will probably be far better prepared than by knowing about logical fallacies.

Firefox can't even be Firefox on iOS and is only a reskinned Safari. So, I'm more concerned that Firefox for iOS even exists since it's kind of a bait&switch to what a Firefox user would expect the browser to be. How would we all fell if we downloaded a browser like Firefox or Chrome on the desktop but to find out it was really a totally different browser?

So playing by the reskinned rules, blockers are not allowed in the way someone using Firefox would expect. Not just blockers, but any extension. It's such a totally not-Firefox experience, that it is even hard to type that it is Firefox.
Or if the R&D phase kills so many people the public loses faith in the whole idea ... then you get to wait a generation for people to forget

This is not the way I would do stock valuation. PE is the ratio of future earnings will all its growth to current earnings, discounted. In the future, some of that growth will be in the past, and the PE will be expected to come down.

It's not wideley known that part of the problem is Siemens with their abysmal quality of trains, for instance the Desiro models. I found an older article about this in connection with the Belgian rail

The situation hasn't improved, though. Recently a local provider of train services has acquired a new fleet of Desiro and Mireo that were broken right out of the factory. The quality was so bad that Siemens was forced to send people to the train provider for weeks to fix the most urgent problems.

If it's old, even with emulation it'd have a good chance to be as fast or faster than on its original target chips. So you'd need to not only rely on it, but also be demanding more from it over time. And given that you're running 32-bit software in a 32-bit vm on a 64-bit cpu in the first place (in a scenario where you're spending significant amounts of time in ring 0!), you clearly do not really care about performance anyway.
It's not much about tech stack (just pick whatever your team is familiar with first), forget about performance for now (go, rust,...). Stick to industry standards: OpenAPI, Types, FP patterns.

What's more important is the architecture. It doesn't need to be complicated, but sane enough for you to break it down later in case you want to grow.
I'm afraid you are misinformed on this count.

The citizens of Crimea and Donetsk are largely both ethnically and linguistically Russian. Luhansk it is less, but still around half or more. And they have generally voted largely in favor of Russian leaning candidates. Never mind the declarations of independence after the 2014 coup, the taking up of arms, and the subsequent military resistance to the Ukrainian state.

Sure, but every US state has such a local split. It’s relative to the proportion and size of dense urban areas, and has been at least since the early aughts. But every “coastal liberal” state (or whatever the “blue state” signifier is) swings sharply conservative as you trek out to less populated areas, with very rare exception. And every “red state” has at least a small island that deviates leftish, even Wyoming.

larger brain does not always mean smarter.
The phrase "gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss" is a tongue-in-cheek expression sarcastically praising the recipient while not actually endorsing them or their behavior. Kind of like "nice work, genius /s". "Girlboss" started showing up 2-3 years ago and was popularized by TikTok. It was originally used as a casual, semi-ironic term of respect for awesome women, but as Gen Z is prone to do, we immediately covered it in 5 layers of irony and now it can range from a mostly genuine compliment to 100% sardonic, depending on context.
