Of course they make money that way, because Netflix and co want DRM and they don't want you to stop watching Netflix on Windows and have to do it on your phone. So they'll go and make TPMs happen.

Also, Microsoft makes a lot of money from videogames, and TPMs help enforce microtransactions in single player games if nothing else.
Is this radioactive stuff just the result of burning tobacco or is it added from another element specifically in cigarettes? If it's from tobacco, is it normal for burning plant matter to result in radioactive materials?
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, you are right about my clients. And while the difference is subtle, it sounds like you are doing more of "contract jobs" than "consulting". But no matter what it is called, clearly it fits your goals, so that's great!

No, they did it because the government supports the prices of opiates, which could easily be made for a nickel a dose. There's nothing intrinsic about opiates that gives you an unquenchable appetite for money. That's cocaine.
That's not a problem with debate. It's a problem with the judges. They are apparently quite willing to be open about the fact that they won't actually do their jobs:

So you're popping the latest value from the user's clipboard, crossing your fingers and hoping that it's the value you just copied from your site (and that there are no bugs in your code or some intricacies of the user agent that caused that copy to fail), and then sending the value to your server by appending it to your URL. Surely you see the risk here?

While the floating ice in the northern Arctic has behaved as scientists and climate models expected in a warming world – that is, on an apparent terminal decline – Antarctica’s sea ice has held steady.

So now the lag in the Southern Hemisphere is going away, and the Southern Hemisphere is finally playing 'catch up' with the Northern Hemisphere. Except that in geological terms where thousands of years are the norm, those decades of lag are negligible, really.

Limited (liability) corporations are a moral disaster, with no democratic or moral accountability.

Beyond a certain size they can start to pull the strings of democracy in very unhealthy and distorting ways - including "sponsorship" of lawmakers, policy lobbying, and campaigns of outright disinformation at all levels of media.

If I shoot someone in the face I will go to prison and may well face the death penalty.

If a corporation causes mass misery - death, disability, decades of lost life, economic decay, the corruption and subversion of democracy - it will very likely get off with no sanctions at all. If there are fines, they'll be token. Only the most egregious cases get more severe fines - uncomfortable, but not usually life-changing.

Criminal charges are only likely if there's fraud that directly affects shareholders.

It's almost as if the lives of ordinary people are complete disposable.

Aside from prison and fines, there should be a corporate death penalty.

If corporations are people, they should be held accountable in the same ways people are.

I'm not sure it's the same thing; the idea that you spit everything out into this flat stream of bytes and then try to parse it back into structured data seems ass-backwards to me. I agree with keeping a trace of events that happen in your system, but if it's data you care about, don't you want to keep it structured the whole way through? At which point it's not really "logs" as usually understood.

I have a t-shirt from a media organization that says "I stand with the facts". I like the shirt and the saying. I think facts are very important; but people experience the world in narrative format. Debate is a way to tell a story. It's a story where you're supposed to keep more than one point of view in mind. I do think that's very useful.

However, when it comes to solving problems, I do not think it is very useful. The debater who uses half truths and shifts the subject before they can be pinned down can be very convincing to the audience, even while the judges see through the tricks.

Regarding the fast talkimg - as I understand it, points are deducted heavily if you fail to address the entirety of the oppositions position, so it often devolves into verbal diarrhea where one position will attempt to overwhelm the other with sheer volume.

Indeed. Germany, France, Italy, Spain, etc. are all among the countries with the highest vehicles per capita in the world (it's not as much as in the US, but then in the US people can drive starting at 16 years old, so it messes the stats quite a bit).
It's easy to sign up someone else hundreds of years ago to have gone through that. Much harder to willingly sign yourself up for a lifetime of the American slave experience.

There was no better investment in my childhood than making me copy out times tables endlessly. Instead of being baffled by multiplication and division, I barely think of it as math.

I think it's an interesting way that GP found to connect to the record heat though. I mentioned to my mother that 1980 was actually the hottest year on record up to that time (the theory was solid and the effects were measurable even then, and now 1980 would be a cool year), and she said she remembered that because she had backed her car into a tree while trying to find some shade due to the heat at the time.

Ben & Jerry makes very tasty vegan ice cream, for example. Cow milk is not a necessity for ice cream, same way as dog milk, rat milk, giraffe milk, hippo milk, or cat milk isn't.

What you appreciate is fat content, not some magical taste ingredient from milk. So you could your ice cream from coconut milk or soya milk or hemp milk or almond milk and it would taste good too.

It's also a leading driver of deforestation, one of the biggest polluters (greenhouse gases & eutrophication), responsible for soil erosion and collapsing biodiversity, etc. etc.

I think parent's point is that some people seem to think being in a debate club means they're automatically "good" at arguing even when they aren't. Of course, we would all be served by having greater development of critical thinking in schools. Just that people might be cocky.
Debate is for the observers, not the participants, to learn about all sides of an argument at the same time. I would posit that it's actually a very useful tool in that context. Everyone who argues on the internet is trying to convince the other side, but that's actually the only person you aren't trying to persuade in a properly-structured debate.

There is a good reason why pretty much every court proceeding in a democratic country is structured as a debate in front of an impartial party.
I'll agree immediately that poverty is less-bad than it once was; food prices in particular are lower compared to labor than they have ever been in history and so people can basically survive with no income. Housing then becomes the actual limiting factor.

For the purposes of criticizing power structures that allow structural inequality I don't... care? The floor is not sufficiently high right now, because tremendous swathes of people are in true poverty, aka existence that denies them dignity and self-determination, because living in this world is so expensive that they can't escape the trap of poverty. So yes, I feel totally fine saying that soccer players or whomever make way too much money, and I'd be the first to agree that the inequality is fine when it is. But we're not even close.

Show HN: Vite React Boilerplate – A Production Ready, Scalable Starter Template
Hello everyone,

I’ve created this starter project for creating production ready web apps in Vite and React that I hope some might find useful.

This template came about as a necessity to provide some standardization across new projects at work. A few of the initial goals when creating this project were to:

- Reduce setup time

- Standardize codebase with ESLint and Prettier

- Improve commit messages with tools like husky, commitizen and commitlint

- Improve codebase maintainability and scalability by providing a reasonable folder structure

- Simplify React Component development through use of tools like Storybook

- Improving codebase stability with unit and E2E tests via Vitest + React Testing Library and Playwright respectively

- Ease the deployment process by providing a simple starter Dockerfile

In addition to all the aforementioned goals, I also wanted to use modern tools such as React Query + Zustand for state management, React Hook Form + Zod for creating and validating forms, Tailwind CSS for building out UI’s, etc.

I tried to cover everything I, and others, might need but recognize that everyones requirements are different. Luckily, this isn’t a framework so removing unneeded packages or adding new ones is as simple it would normally be. The project itself doesn’t come with a demo as its purpose is to simply provide a foundation for any new projects you might have in mind.

Feedback is always welcome and I appreciate anyone willing to checkout this project.

Thank you and have a great day.
> If you can't think fast on the fly about how to refute a position, that's on you.

Sure, it's on me to decide that competitive debate is stupid, optimizing for gimmicks.
They are very well funded by numfocus: https://numfocus.org/, at least if going by the names of orgs that are sponsors. I don't think they require any financial benefit from posting things on medium.

It is rather the attitude or non-ideology of the Jupyter contributors/team, that causes things like posting on medium or telling people to post their questions in their discourse forum. It is also reflected in the licensing they chose for their ecosystem. Though usually they are friendly and helpful towards newcomers, it has to be said.
I understand this point. And GP is a person, so they also have an opinion. I feel that you continued the pattern I outlined in my original comment.
Just whining about the meta.

> When debaters reject the topic and advocate for these critical theories, they choose not to engage in pragmatic policy discussions.

Well, they choose some strategy to generate debate entries, namely theoretical sophistication, instead of whatever pragmatic means. (Usually it just means "My position is really great and I don't want to think about alternatives," but perhaps there is a specific technical meaning here.)

> Even if they’re not advocating for kritiks, in order to succeed at the national level, debaters have to learn how to respond critical theory arguments without actually disagreeing with their radical principles.

That is just saying, to compete on a high level people have to play the game well.
a) That actually isn't a refutation or a response of the parent argument. It's just some random point.

b) The topic wasn't indicated to be about the American slave experience, it could have been about slavery in general, or about slavery in the Incan empire etc etc, so you could be making an argument against a point isn't even relevant.

This is why debate is important. Its trivially easy to see through bad arguments.

You can edit UEFI drivers from the operating system's bootloader, and you can even flash the UEFI itself from the OS in most computers. While secure boot. Failing that, you can shim a preloader between the bootloader and the UEFI and load arbitrary drivers despite secure boot, like is done here : https://github.com/ValdikSS/Super-UEFIinSecureBoot-Disk

Any sufficiently motivated attacker can make a UEFI rootkit happen, and it's in the wild right now. TPM really do offer no protection to users, either against userspace malware, or rootkits. It's purely about DRM.
