Using one principle (nukes are expensive) isn't the same thing as deducing something from first principles. In particular, it's not enough, especially given hypersonic missile technology, to just take an ICBM, reprogram it, and voila you have an ABM. Because the cost of even a single warhead off an MIRV ICBM getting through is so devastating, the cost of a ABM system includes a huge number of missiles to increase the chance of catching the incoming attack. And then, once the ABM missile reaches the incoming ICBM. How does it neutralize the threat? What technology do we have that causes a lot of destruction? Oh that's right, nukes. If the ABM system uses nukes to neutralize the incoming threat, then it's very much not clear that the singular principle (nukes are expensive) doesn't also apply to the ABM system.

Some subjects, like computer science, which is still a very young area of study are very open to learnings from first principles. Others, like the geopolitics of nuclear deterrence, are deeper than any one person can even begin to understand.

This is more about private property rights, is it not? You can sing loudly in a park until local ordinances (noise, curfew) kick in.

The "movie theater" example I'm familiar with is that you can't scream "fire" in a crowded place.
This is a surprisingly good design. After seeing the headline on HN, I was convinced it was going to be terrible and lead to a ton of rants. But mostly positive comments so far.
The goal is to be consistent over time but it must also still maintain a reactionary posture to the cases brought before it. When there is a difference in opinion between earlier and later jurisprudence, later jurisprudence takes precedent and to be blunt, sometimes earlier courts get it wrong and later courts recognize this.

> A few years ago, the 4th Amendment protected a woman's right to privacy and therefore Abortion.

Due process clause of the 14th amendment actually was the citation under the portions of Roe v Wade not overturned by Planned Parenthood v Casey prior to them both being overturned in Dobbs. The due process clause is often used to read into law from the bench things which are not written into law by Congress or the States under the doctrine of substantive due process, and the issue with that doctrine comes down to: if Congress didn’t say it, and the States didn’t agree to it (Constitution), then is it really actually Federal law? So far the answer seems to be: temporarily yes, and on shaky ground until either Congress addresses it or a future court does. That a court can overturn its own precedents is why if we wish for them to stick, you write them into statute.

Going back to the First Amendment, most of the seeming contradictions in our free speech law really are addressed in the first 5 words of the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law”. Courts are not Congress, and our Judiciaries have habits and traditions that predate the Constitution and are rooted specifically in the English common law, especially among the States which is why you can be found civilly liable for defamation in most States, and then the standard is high and the extent to which it is applicable is curtailed more with the First Amendment than it would be without it.
I would like to see a breakdown of how long the average user stays subscribed but I guess it’s too sensitive to ever be communicated. I don’t think I have ever subscribed more than a month at a time every couple of years to watch something very specific (or play actually - last time was because of Immortality). While I think this is an unusual customer profile, I wouldn’t be surprised if short subscriptions still represented a significant number of accounts.
Certainly AFAIK. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. But FOSS as distributed in binary packages by Debian needs to remain possible to inspect, modify and build via the Debian (source) mirrors - hence all dependencies need to be packaged too (as opposed to living their seperate existence somewhere "go get" may be able to retrieve them from - or not ten years from now - and your respirator depends on a certain version of caddy for it's status display...).

I'm trying to display video from a Flir Lepton. Teensy 4.1 can do it. Pi Zero 2 can do it. ESP32 can do it. People have shown projects that can do it, but they don't have tutorials with step by step guides of how to do it. Often times they are trying to sell a kit of it and just have the link to the GitHub and a blog post. Even help on the Google Group is limited for this type of question.
That seems like kind of a fabricated boogeyman, though. I have an extremely hard time thinking of anyone I know whose been affected by an organized crime syndicate, but I can immediately bring to mind a whole host of injustices suffered at the hands of government agencies, from bogus tickets to civil forfeiture to imprisionment for victimless 'crimes' (and that's not even accounting for blanket stuff like xkeyscore or spending my tax dollars on nonsense like the iraq war - all arguably way worse than any criminal organization without government backing could ever hope to inflict)
Being reminded that PyPI is a target for law enforcement makes me even more irked that they've removed end-to-end package signing without providing a replacement[0].

PGP signatures—even though rarely used—would allow someone to verify that a signed package was not modified by PyPI after being uploaded by its original author.

Without any sort of signing mechanism, we have to trust the U.S. Government to never demand that PyPI insert a backdoor, via a National Security Letter, FISA court order, or other kangaroo court process. Good luck with that.

The existing PGP signing mechanism had usability issues and security footguns[1], but was better than nothing. It's a shame they didn't roll out a more usable and secure alternative before removing the existing functionality.

Haha that's an interesting question. I'm figuring that the closest "2 planets away" would be the canonical distance between Earth and Mercury, ie 57 million miles (92 million km).

But it's the other extreme that's more interesting.

Let's say that for a planet to be the "next" planet over at any given time, it has to be the closest one... by direct line measurement, not by orbit. So for Earth, the next planet over could be at any given time Mercury, Venus or Mars. The most isolated Earth can be from all other planets would be when the planet that is closest to us at a given moment is as far away is it can be. That turns out to be Mercury, whose maximal distance is about 138 million miles away (222 million km). There's always going to be a planet that is that distance to us or closer.

So imagine that Mars happens to be 137 million miles from us while Mercury and Venus are both at least 138 million miles away. That would make Mars the "next" planet over. Then the "next" planet over from Mars could be either Venus or Mercury. If we're assuming Mars is as isolated as possible than the next closest planet besides Earth would be Mercury which at its furtherst could be at most 198 million miles away (319 million km). Thus, ignoring trigonometry which would put a constraint on the Mercury-Mars leg of the triangle, two planets away from us could be at most 336 million miles (540 million km) away.

So between 57 and 336 million miles is your answer.

I think portables have settled around the Switch/Deck/Ally form factor because that's about as small as you can make a system while being able to run "full sized" games. You need enough processing power to run the games to a reasonable standard, and the battery/cooling to back that up, and enough physical space for all of the buttons and sticks on a conventional controller, and a big enough screen to see what's going on in games designed for TVs, which means you can't realistically go smaller than the Switch Lite.

Sure you could make "pocket sized" games designed specifically for much more limited hardware like they did during the Gameboy and DS eras, but I'm not sure how much appetite there is for that now that people have had a taste of full fat console games on the go.
Do you know the owner? Most owners will take a hard line on renters doing that kind of shit. VRBO lets them take the security deposit with few questions asked. Otherwise, if it happens again, get photos and send them AirBnB. The renter will be banned from the platform, and depending on their response, the owner could be in trouble as well.
This specific case seems like there's not a strong enough need and too high a potential for coercion, but would you really complain about how my father was "HARVESTING HIS OWN SON" if his kidneys failed and I donated one of mine?

Anyway, the blood plasma stuff isn't the only thing that's fascinating, everything else is too. Go read his website. It's unhinged: as noted by you, he harvests his son for himself, and himself for his father; he writes shit like "My mind is demoted, Self is elevated"; he pays $11/serve for what's basically broccoli, cauliflower, and lentils; he pays for pretty much every single measurement it's possible to take. It's interesting: all the hard-to-fake biomarkers for performance look good, from heart rate to VO2 to bench; he was having so much blood drawn that he got an ultrasound of his veins to see what damage he'd done; he posts gifs of a capsule camera going down his gastrointestinal tract.

He's an insane person who posts his life on the internet and I find him fascinating. The HARVESTING of HIS OWN SON is really, genuinely interesting, and it doesn't stop being interesting just because it's weird and unlikely to do much.

A recent example: I used ChatGPT 4 to draft an mkvmerge command - take 2 video files, and merge them by only copying certain audio and subtitle tracks from the second file into the first file.

The resulting command looked good at first sight, something like „mkvmerge -o output.mkv first.mkv —-no—video -s 1 -a 2 -a 3 -a 4“. The problem here is that there can only be one -a flag, so it should have been „-a 2,3,4“ instead. But mkvmerge didn’t really care and just discarded every -a flag except the last one. So I ended up with only one of the audio tracks copied over. I only noticed when I actually checked the resulting file that it had less audio tracks than it was supposed to.

This would not have happened to a human after studying the man page - the documentation is very clear about the -a flag and I have no idea what led ChatGPT to come to the conclusion it did.

> Libertarian website argues Libertarian viewpoints. News at 11.

It's not just Reason or Libertarians saying that the old "fire in a crowded theater" trope is nonsense:

> An entire article that starts off with "BTW: Supreme Court Justice is wrong on subject" is... well... that's not how this works. The Supreme Court justice literally defines (or at least, is 1/9th of the definition) of our country's legal interpretation.

No, a majority of the current Supreme Court is what defines jurisprudence on a subject.

There are crazy (and non-crazy) minority opinions all the time that don't amount to anything. A later Supreme Court can even repudiate an earlier one.

So it's true that this could change someday, and maybe Alito would even be in the majority then, but until and unless that happens, the "fire in a crowded theater" example is still dicta from an old case that's not good law.
