>It's not illegal to write a fanfic that you keep to yourself about all the weird ways that you want to torture and kill someone.

pedantic, but it depends on many factors that can make that goal realistic. You probably wouldn't get flack about how you'd kill Trump or any public figure you're far away from, but some specific individual can be seen as a threat in some countries. Even the US isn't fully lenient on that.

>If no harm is being done, not even indirectly to anyone else, why is it a crime?

politics, mostly. For example, in Japan uncensored genetalia is still illegal, animated or otherwise. Despite some of the most explicit pornography hailing from it. These come from WW2 times where the US imposed a bunch of sanctions, but have long since been irrelevant. So why not just repeal that law?

Well, what politician wants to be the one to fall on that sword and get the buck rolling? It's political suicide to the voter base (mostly older people) even if most people wouldn't be strongly affected by it. That's one among many many other factors, of course.

And that's a relatively uncontroversial aspect of society. Can you imagine trying to go to bat about the above topic?
I can recommend Comdirect. Have been with them for a number of years. It's not a perfect all digital experience but largely a good offering. moved to a non-european country and was able to keep my account and stock portfolio with them (just have to tell them that you aren't a tax resident anymore so they don't deduct captial gains tax automatically). I am always a bit worried about using neo-anything for the core of my savings since I would like to not have to touch then for a long time. Having to sell or move all your assets because a startup shuts down isn't fun.
juuuust you wait for all that disillusionment when they blow the whistle ... on .... ???
"In the transmitter the fidelity is limited by the bandwidth of the modulator, and in the Receiver by the bandwidth of the IF stage."

This applies to heterodyne systems with the bandwidth limitation coming from deliberate filtering.

My understanding is the channel width, set out in the broadcast standard and license, is the bottleneck and not so much the limitations of the electronics. FM must be under 150khz (5 times the maximum source bandwidth of 15khz, then doubled for upper and lower sidebands) and MW-AM must be under 9/10khz (limiting the source to around 5 kHz). So without the transmitter broadcasting outside its allocation, I don't understand how changing the receiver could improve the audio quality.

I could be wrong. Do you have a source on 15khz audio bandwidth over MW-AM?
> Maybe. Don't assume yes.

I'm not. I'm positing yes based on the cheapness of food.
I'm open to you explaining how those ice issues are the same instead of just saying they are.

Running your car to zero fuel may potentially damage your fuel pump while running your Tesla or electric car to 0% constantly will completely destroy the battery. Much more expensive issue. Someone can easily bring you a small Jerry can of gas if you run out while it's day near impossible to do the same thing for an electric car. It'll need to be towed.
More and more so it appears that the US is falling way behind the EU (and probably China) in terms of charging.

150kW charging is common in France. I hear it’s even better in other EU countries.
I get that it's important that we call out exploitable situations like this, but it's also kind of moot. There are so many ways to exploit modern systems you can just rustle around in a bag of exploits and one will work. Known executable, unknown, doesn't matter. Not even using a VM will keep you safe. Not even RBAC.

What's easier and more reliable is to work in terms of risks. It's fine if you get exploited, as long as the access you have to sensitive systems is limited, and those sensitive systems have backups, and you can't delete those backups, you can re-deploy systems from scratch using automation if you get compromised, automatically rotate credentials, etc.

Lower the overall risk by setting everything up so the worst case scenario isn't that bad. Then you don't have to worry so much about an "unknown executable" because even if it gets exploited the attacker can't cause too much damage.
Is shocking for me how after studying Telco Eng. I've used or learnt about 90% of them, and it's sad how most of us would never use them again.
I like this question because you explicitly ask me to agree with your premise that pedophiles and gay people are equivalent within your framing of this discussion and then follow it up with “my contention is something other than what I’ve clearly explained”

Edit:
For clarity, the post this is responding to originally started with “Do you agree that 'adult-adult-hetersexual' is the only orientation that has obvious evolutionary benefit?” It has since been edited to a generic copy-pasted response.
Interesting, most places I've seen are increasing the food restrictions, including in food brought from home. This is probably something you can address with your district if your state doesn't already some healthy school food law.
It’s literally the result of a category theorist “following his nose” and solving a problem - mathematical ecologists are perfectly capable of doing some graph theory/linear algebra!
How many slaves in the family tree should someone have to qualify? Do white slaves count? How far back should we go? Would citizens whose families have immigrated to this country after the deed be also on the hook for reparations? Should reparations only be given to struggling people, or should they be given out regardless of the situation of the descendant of a slave?

It's a lot easier to quantify and equalize the situation here and now rather than to try to make up for a future that could have been, and for which no living being is responsible. The past is complex and blurry, and families aren't a straight line. And generally, people aren't bound by their ancestor's misdeeds.

Poor people should get more help from society in the US, that's a fact: race might be a strong predictor for poverty, but the best signal for poverty remains income and wealth, right here and right now.

Why bother looking at anything else? Are poor whites or asians somehow more blameable for their poverty than poor blacks? Should a successful black person get reparations from a white hobo, simply based on their lineage (that none of them have control on)?
the high school era in ones' life has a lot of opportunity for personal hardship; in many ways it's the beginning of personal responsibility for a lot of people.

in other words : it's less likely that an elementary school student has to juggle an unwanted pregnancy, an estranged family, and a job at McDonalds; it's not that uncommon later on.
Ah yes, good old fashioned moral panic. See, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhQlcMHhF3w
> Equality is very different than equity

How old are these definitions?

I've only seen them used this way in public policy circles, and left-leaning ones at that. It's also totally discontinuous with the treatment of equality in classical literature.

Put another way, isn't equity just a masking term for top-to-bottom wealth transfers?
In college I used this excuse when my apartment buildings self managed wifi cut off my internet for torrenting. I just went into the office and was like “a torrent? Idk what that is…”. But it wasn’t anything more official than a guy in my apartment’s office’s ability to turn my internet back on. I didn’t even have to prove I had an open Wi-Fi network.
> a lot of it is really driven by finding ways to use less natural or labour resources to achieve the same end, meaning more of that end can be achieved for the same cost

Yes, and I think that's what's been cushioning the blow in Japan.

Eventually the growth in economic activity must end though. It has to be constrained by something in the physical world, be it resources, energy, or build-up of waste products. There's even a limit as to how much waste heat we can produce on Earth.

But moving beyond Earth buys a lot more room for growth, and I expect that will eventually happen.
Well, yes. Any time you change a function’s behavior, you’re risking breaking the behavior of its callers. That’s just the nature of programming and doesn’t seem like particularly controversial statement, honestly.

It is worth noting that the jetstream API (to me) (not that experienced) to lack some of the features of Kafka w.r.t. replayability - for instance I can’t easily say “go back and re-run messages from X point-in-time”. Instead it may be necessary to write custom handlers for replay or safeguard your systems to be very idempotent (a good pattern in event driven systems, but not one that is explicitly required by Kafkaesque messaging systems).
Non-commercial entertainment. Which makes this move by Qualcomm all the weirder. I agree, the llamas and all the other foundational models and all of their fine-tunes are not really useful for helping with real tasks that have a wrong answer.
It doesn't imply metastasis in the way you're thinking about it. Just because a cancer cell has moved once doesn't mean it will aggressively keep moving to other organs.

Honestly doctors won't investigate too hard because the recommended course of action is likely going to be the same.

This not new info, but it's good to tell others.

My "Program Librarues HOWTO" says this:

"Beware: do not run ldd on a program you don't trust. As is clearly stated in the ldd(1) manual, ldd works by (in certain cases) by setting a special environment variable (for ELF objects, LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS) and then executing the program. It may be possible for an untrusted program to force the ldd user to run arbitrary code (instead of simply showing the ldd information). So, for safety's sake, don't use ldd on programs you don't trust to execute."

I believe that doc dates from 2000. This info wasn't new then either, it was specifically documented in its man page.
> I'm pointing out that you must absolutely contend with the fact that marginalized people have historically been labeled mentally ill when they fight for equality

And I am pointing out that all people, marginalized or not, are currently subject to violence and harassment by the untreated mentally ill, right now. Not historically, currently.

If one party starts telling voters that they care more about hypothetical inconveniences for marginalized people than they do about people getting murdered right now, that party is not going to be in any kind of power for long and they will have no opportunity to protect anyone's rights.
Off the top of my head:

The ability to do advanced regexp replacements with a function parameter in JS far outstrips anything native in Postgres.

Array manipulation, reordering, and deduplication are worlds easier in JS than native Postgres.

Manipulating byte buffers in JS are much faster and more flexible than introspecting bytea columns in native Postgres.

JSON parsing and object transformation are much easier, faster, and clearer than native Postgres (even with the recent jsonb improvements).
Why would that implicitly be "regardless" of what the keyboard dictionary says? I would expect the learned dictionary to be prioritized over other sources of information, just as a practical matter, even if someone might reasonably assume there are other things that should be prioritized over it.

None of that explains how resetting everything would have any affect on capitalization of names if resetting the keyboard dictionary wouldn't, and you didn't say whether you tried resetting keyboard dictionary.

This is the real crime.
> you can’t even be anonymous without rubbing elbows with child predators.

Statistically there is quite a large number of criminals in my city, and since I visit shops and other parts of the city, I am bound to unknowingly to me been rubbing elbows with those criminals. We are all anonymous to each other, and what can I really know about the person in front of me in the store. Go past a few hundred people and someone will be a person I would not associate myself with, and yet here I am living in the same city as them using the same infrastructure, and in some way enabling the activity by contributing taxes.

Not to say I don't understand the emotional reaction people have. I have relatives in the countryside that refuse to visit the city because of all the criminals that they hear about. It is also fairly common to hear people moving out of the city to the calmer suburbs in order to get out of all the shootings and crime. I also do know first hand that if you go and look for it, finding drug dealers and shady activity is not exactly a big secret. Go to specific streets or part of the city and it's operated in plain sight.

I've always seen the original cyberpunk dream as being analogous to a city, with all its benefits and drawbacks.

I've been trying to simplify a lot my blog, following old-school philosophy of DIY, without requiring a lot of the modern web development stack. Just some html templateS and some markdown files.
It's becoming clear that you think "socialism" just means "the scary politics that foreign people have" and don't actually understand it, otherwise you'd know what GP meant by this remark. At the very least you should try to understand what you think you oppose, because it sounds like you heard your dad complaining about some non-right-wing party then took that as your own politics and ran with it.
That’s a conspiracy theory.

Reality is much mundane and boring: the person writing the web app has no vested interest in the app actually providing a good service for customers. His or her boss doesn’t care either.

It’s simple disinterest: the self-interests of the coders are too far removed from the interests of the customers.

If you’re a solo dev working on a startup and every lost customer is money gone from your pocket, you will pay attention to every little detail.

If you’re a cog in a giant soulless machine, you do the bare minimum and go home.

The more I learn the more I realise that this has been the case for a long time.

What function do critics serve? A critical analysis of a book or movie is entirely unlinked to whether or not the piece is enjoyed by its audience. Why should the audience care what a critic says if they enjoyed a film? Indeed, should they feel ashamed that they enjoyed something that some snobby wanker told them they should shun?

So what point do critics serve?

The only critics whose work I enjoy are either a) enjoyers of the same genres and pieces I enjoy, and who compile vicious and humorous snipes at pieces I do not, or b) who don't tell me why I should love or hate a piece, but instead explain the critical elements I may not understand or might have missed without judgement. And, out of these two types, the impact of team b) lasts much longer.

For me, state wards are one of the four metrics for judging the quality of a country.

Wards of the state: our responsibility, through no fault of their own.

Prisoners: our responsibility, their fault.

Immigrants: not our responsibility, but an indication of how well we can manage our economy. We should be able to put anybody who comes here to work.

Emigrants: we should let people leave who don't want to be here.

The first three are connected because there's no way to sustain providing anything for prisoners and immigrants that you don't provide for regular citizens. Wards of the state are the nation's children; there's nothing that normal citizens get that they shouldn't get. If they don't get anything, normal citizens are getting less than nothing.
I agree, it's hard to codify. But there is undoubtedly a large group of people, often identified by their race, that face disproportionate hardship and continued to be legally discriminated against well after slavery was abolished. And note that I mentioned other, post-slavery problems, and you jump right into "how many slaves??"
I just learned today! Thanks.
20 years ago, DC++ was the best place to get full anime seasons with fan subs. Nowadays, nearly everything is on Hulu, or crunchyroll, or illegitimate streaming sites.
Yes, currently most of the world is "free riding" on the US, which is the only country paying full price for drugs.

If/when the US also stops paying, I expect drug development will stagnate a lot.
> You must be fun at parties.

Yep, that's me ;)

> a gradual decline in population, growth, and economic activity

No time for that, probably. And it's not even on the horizon ... all policies have economic growth encoded in them. We're not even thinking about slowing down.

We're not talking about/doing degrowth, afforesting, reforming industrial agriculture, abolishing animal agriculture, making a dent if fossil fuel consumption, stopping overfishing and biodiversity loss ... we don't really do anything, instead just dream of blocking the sun with sulphuric aerosols and leaving for another planets.

Hard crash, and soon, would be probably better. More resources for the civilization that comes after this one.
Because one is a vector for storing information which mutates over time while still preserving.

Physical tools are more complicated, exist as discrete physical instances and knowledge depending upon skill to make it, component availability (needing flint for example), and mutation can occur seperately. Just because you used a partially burnt piece of wood to make a better spear doesn't mean you have the techniques for fire-hardening wooden weapons down.
Free prenatal and neonatal care seems like an obvious first step. It's literally taking care of the unborn and babies, so they have a healthy start to life. (I similarly believe education, school breakfasts and lunches, and pediatric care should be free.)
I don't think anyone here is denying that there is a correlation, but there's a very legitimate question over whether policy should target the correlated trait (skin color) or the hardship itself (poverty) when trying to fix the problem.
Yet another example of how the American education system is falling behind the rest of the world. Students in the US only learn one kind of math, but apparently the rest of the English speaking world is taught multiple kinds of maths.

Yeah, the lack of licensing info here is a bit of a deal-breaker.

It uses the term "open source icons," but given how over-used/abused that terminology is these days, it doesn't really mean much to me.

I don't see any license info in the downloaded SVG files either, from spot checking.
Similar experience with Comdirect. They also have a 6-digit pin.

When I asked support why I have to pay for my depot (even though its free if I have a checking account) they said they signed me up under two separate customer IDs, but they cannot simply consolidate them. I have to open a new depot and transfer my stocks.
Other than staying up to date on packages, this comes down largely to service config that’s independent of the OS.

I just ran away from Fedora. I was running Fedora server, and my files were depopulating on my podman containers. Xml files still existed, but were BLANK. Strange behavior.

And then I was running kinoite on my main gaming rig, and the wifi driver just stopped working. No amount of tinkering fixed it.

I've gotten debian on my server, though that's ongoing. Once the server is up, I think I'm going back to Arch on my main. They may have ticked me off with that grub thing last year, but prior to that it was smooth as silk.

We (the UK) manufacture less and less, but most sources would still put us around 7th, 8th, or 9th largest manufacturer in the world (eg random results [1] and [2]). Wikipedia has the UK as the 5th largest exporter here [3].

I don't accept the accuracy of these sites (on such a scale the numbers probably aren't exactly right) but it should be in the ballpark.

In brief, we do manufacture a lot of things (though often despite and not because of government policies).
