Why does the war on drugs cause Mexico to fall apart and not Canada?

I don't think Mexico's problems would be solved if drugs disappeared tomorrow.

For example, the cartels are robbing fuel [depots, refineries, regular gas stations, etc]. They'll keep doing that, it's profitable.

So, how can Mexico solve its own problems? I have no idea.
Do you see a world where Amazon sells fent and.. undercuts the cartel or something?

How does ending our prohibition on drugs resolve the a nearly total collapse of law and order in a neighbor?

Hi oefrha,
haha, good one.
But for me this isn't about being judgmental or scoring points. You might be right to include time spent on HN in the category of addictive timesinks better spent elsewhere, so yes, maybe there's a touch of hypocrisy in my original comment. But nothing about my engagement with this topic is "mindless". On the contrary, I choose deliberately to do the uncomfortable / unpopular thing and encourage others to try to avoid slipping further into mindless activity, because I'm personally acutely aware of what's at stake. I wasn't "shitting on" nor singling out this game in particular. I don't care if it's Factorio, World of Warcraft, Magic: the Gathering, fantasy football, or anything else that has a strong tendency to become all-consuming. Life is too short as it is. I'm speaking from the heart as a cancer survivor who's had a chance to reflect deeply on nearly 50 years of life, and I'm so glad I quit World of Warcraft cold turkey when I did, when my oldest daughter was still an infant.
Please, try to interpret my comments in the spirit they're intended. Thanks.

There are nearly 100,000 ASNs. Some are very small. An ASN is enough to identify a user's ISP - enough for someone significantly more malicious than you to, say, social engineer an ISP, report players to their ISP for "hacking" a site, or start correlating with their visitors.

What we're also missing is the context. Did you share the ASNs for the purposes of, say, debugging a network connection? For statistical purposes? Or was the message more "look at the people connecting to my server, j/k these are just ASNs"? The tone you use matters too: by sharing ASNs, you could easily be hinting that you have people's real IPs, and that could be taken the wrong way.

I don't doubt that Discord overreacted here, but I certainly think there's a high chance that your message could have been misinterpreted as a threat to privacy.

> This is medicine. You cant just compete, the Nephrology Board has to approve these standards of practice

The “Nephrology Board” is only one country. Even supposing US medical institutions decided to block a treatment being developed in the US, they have no authority to stop its development in other countries. If it was seen to be working in other countries, they’d find it very hard to justify refusing to allow it in the US.

But politically I think the scenario you are describing is very unlikely - the US medical system justifies its “uniqueness” (such as extreme expensiveness) on the grounds that “we have the best medical technology on the planet”. Blocking medical advances would undermine that justification, and hence is not in the best interests of the people who control the US medical system

In terms of actual "EDC" I don't carry a backpack. I mean, yeah, I have a backpack I sometimes carry, but I think of it mainly as my "laptop bag" and I don't always go out carrying it.

EDC stuff I carry in my pockets or on my belt or whatever. Briefly, the list is:

1. Keychain with my car / home keys

2. Wallet

3. A small LED flashlight

4. A carbide tipped glass breaker

5. a Leatherman tool

6. A folding pocket knife

7. A USB thumb drive

8. My phone (Moto G7)

On a selective basis, add:

9. A Keltec PF-9 9mm pistol

10. A Gerber fixed blade knife

On a seasonal basis I also add

11. A ferro rod

12. A small block of magnesium

When it's cold enough to wear my heavy winter coat (which it rarely is) I have a few things tucked in my inside pockets:

- an Altoids tin filled with cotton balls dipped in Vaseline

- a box of waterproof matches

- a couple of "space blankets"

- an Altoids tin filled with small chunks of fatwood

- probably a couple of other things I don't remember offhand

As far as my backpack: there's so much random shit in there I couldn't even begin to list it all. Besides the actual laptop and charger, there's a USB hard drive, a yellow rubber duck, a pencil roll, a plush stuffed white rabbit, all sorts of USB cables, an extension cord, an RTL-SDR dongle and accessories, a couple of notebooks, a TI-89 calculator, a Bluetooth trackball, reading glasses, headphones, a couple of bottles of Coke Zero (usually), etc., etc., etc.
Chapstick, ibuprofen, allergy pills, lighter, retractable USB-C charger, Airpods. This covers most minor annoyances I encounter in the city.

I almost always carry my iPad Mini. It replaces a book/notebook. Unlike my phone it's a quiet, distraction-free device.

If I intend to work, I bring my MacBook Air. It replaces a much lighter Macbook 12" which I loved to bits. It's heavier, but it's much faster and has insane battery life.

I usually travel by bicycle. I usually pack a water bottle. If it's nice outside, I'll pack a picnic blanket. I hope from place to place, doing a bit of work here and there.

I have an Ortlieb Vario bag that is both a backpack and a bicycle bag. It's waterproof and big enough to fit groceries. It's great for quickly getting on/off the bike.
I'm a bit confused here. This seems like failure analysis gives us a clear winning direction. When the system fails: would you rather a nude image show clear or a non-nude image be blurred? I think 99% of people would rather have the latter. There is little risk to a normal image being falsely flagged but the outcome is likely far worse when a nude image is not censored.

It really surprises me a lot of times how little failure analysis is done in software engineering considering it is basically the cornerstone of most physical engineering. It is critical that you design systems to fail in certain ways. That is error messaging... (Also see Blackstone's Ratio for an example in law)

Different forms for different content is a nice answer, but you also have to remember that we're talking a product for the masses. So while I don't think your answer is wrong, it is.
Hey d1str0,
Sorry (not sorry) to harsh your vibe. It wasn't sarcasm or "copypasta". My longer response to a sibling comment just now explains further.
Have a great weekend.
Don’t forget that you need a c linkage function that calls NEW in order to properly construct the object and it’s members. If using malloc for c++ objects, it MUST be followed by placement new in order to properly construct. Just malloc might be ok if the object is “trivially default constructible “ but not sure, I don’t have the standard in front of me right now. The object in the article looks trivially default constructible so the program might be working fine by coincidence.

> What else is obscene?

Quite a lot of things may or may not fall under that definition. Thats how the law works.

> And why would I have to accept an US jury's opinion?

Well, because they and judges are the ones empowered by the government monopoly on violence to judge the law and then have it be enforced, thats why.

Ignore the law at your own peril. But anyway, even if you did ignore the law, this doesn't have anything to do with you.

This is about companies immunity from prosecution. So, even if you disagree with the law, those companies are still immune under section 230, for good faith efforts to remove obscene content.

> Also you didn't define 'otherwise objectionable'.

It would be defined as whatever judges and juries define it as. I don't define it. Instead it is defined by those people.

> For example what I think

If you are not a judge or currently on a jury, then what you think is irrelevant.

The law is not computer code. Instead, it is interpreted by humans. And that is the case for basically all of law.

The seems to be an interesting fermium play for their Dato (paid) app. Interesting!

I currently pay for Fantastical. I don’t even use it much, because our company uses Google Calendar, and booking in the web app is superior (I can access/add meeting rooms, etc.).

What I haven’t been able to do is sync my work and family calendars (so my wife doesn’t double book me or vice versa).

I also really like the full-screen takeover by Dato (again, from the article’s author), don’t know why Fantastical doesn’t have that!
Sounds good, sounds like the creator will have an easy time of adding it to Homebrew then. Until then I will continue using other apps that are already on there.
> I don't think this is relevant or a good counter argument,

I think it is. It's a pretty weak "argument" to begin with, more like just an assertion that it's wrong (because it's wrong).

> we could easily say that both scenarios are less than ideal? Being born into poverty at least means you might have options in life like, you might actually meet enough people to find someone who you actually want to procreate with? What's that going to look like being stuck in what is esentially a small shopping mall your whole life?

In terms of the number of people you would meet? Well it would look like almost everybody for the entire history of humanity.

> Imposing morals? Trolling?

I don't understand your question. Do you not believe that "they should have access to basic things such as to be able to experience the natural world" is imposing your own morals on the procreation of others?
Your device would scan your photo at the point of you uploading it to the cloud and then it could encrypt it before sending it to the cloud. That meant that Apple's cloud servers didn't need to be able to scan it to comply with US Govt "recommendations" for cloud providers.

Whereas right now all the other cloud providers just send the photo as-is and scan it on the cloud servers.

With Apple's approach, the cloud servers don't get to look at every single one of your photos like cloud vendors do today, scanning happens within the privacy of your own phone, and only known-kiddy-porn signatures are flagged.

Apple came up with a way to make things way more private, but the concept of your own device working "against" you if you happen to be a pedophile was too much of a leap.
But doesn't a basic text editor like notepad++, or sublime text, I guess nowadays people use vscode too, take care of that? Why would you want to use some kind of rich text editing program for those?

Never heard of one shot delimited continuations; it sounds like an euphemism for "broken". Delimited continuations are functions; you can call them as many times as you like, with different arguments. They can call themselves recursively too.

Of course when I say "delimited continuation", I mean "delimited continuation" not "broken delimited continuation".

(If delimited continuations are used for simulating coroutines, it is my experience that they end up being called only once; each continuation invocation performs a time slice to the next yield. That's a particular simple use of continuations, not a type.)
I've definitely been trying to find a good alternative for a while. Still haven't found one though…

> war on drug addicts

No, ir was a war on political opponents, not necessarily addicts at all. The War on Marijuana and Acid was to go after hippies, and the War on Crack was to go after inner city blacks. The idea being all of these groups would have voted liberal and the Republican base supported punishing these groups. This was all assumed for decades but made explicit as the strategy by one of Nixon’s top lieutenants in recent years.
Interesting. I'm trying to (in background mode) build an open source SIP video doorbell, and so far finding a good client that can work with raw video capture devices proved tricky. All the clients with video support need full X-Windows or Wayland stacks, which I most definitely don't want.

This seems to be exactly what I need!

Now, why did you have to write it in pure C?!? It's not a big deal for me, my VoIP devices are already in a separate VLAN without external access, but still.
They already are. And calling the rest of BRICS poor and weak is just overt trolling, but also a probably an indicator of a more genuine misunderstanding of how trade and 'globalism' more generally actually works. For instance Niger most certainly is not a wealthy country, but the 'West' in general is having a fit about the coup there (and getting ready to start yet another war over it) is because in spite of being a small, deeply impoverished nation - they supply something like 25% of all of the EU's uranium needs, at rock bottom costs - in an echo of colonial times.
yeah, that would make it trivial
Currying is pretty much just a convenient way to write a one-constructor one-method class. It's a parameterized version of the command pattern.

That said, if you're using a language with classes you may as well stick with those and omit the syntactic sugar from your diet.

I find functional programming useful though because it can shorten code in a way where you can get a better view of the big picture and easily make sweeping changes. But it's also easy to write in a way that's too "perfect" (i.e. resistant to change) and incomprehensible. Though I'm not sure the total incomprehensibility is generally any worse than an enterprise Java codebase -- local readability might only give you the illusion that the whole system is understandable. Still, if you don't enjoy reading code in a certain style it makes for hard reading!

Hmm.. For none of those things does where I'm going on any given day really play any role in my decision of what to carry. That's the whole idea of "EDC".

But think about it; If you drive a car (to work, say) and you live anywhere where the daytime ambient temperature in the winter gets down into even, say, the 50's, it's not hard to imagine a scenario where most of those things could be useful. Somebody runs you off the road, or you have a front tire blowout, or skid on ice, and go into some water? The glass-breaker lets you break the glass to get out of your rapidly sinking car. The knife can be used to process wood by batoning, and the firestarter lets you start a fire to keep your cold, wet, body warm until help arrives.

A pistol? I'm not going get get into some big "gun control" debate here, but I'll just say that I prefer to carry a pistol more or less all the time, excepting for a small number of places where it isn't allowed. I hope like hell I never need it, but "it's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it."

I should also add that I spend a fair amount of time in the outdoors, either fishing, hiking, or bike riding, usually by myself. As such, I like to be equipped to handle various situations that could potentially arise.

> Some people don’t put their code on GitHub, since they object to GitHub’s ToS, especially those pertaining to analysis and use by Copilot

Copilot was trained on Github code under a “training models doesn’t require permission” theory before there was anything about it in the ToS, and basically every other large model has taken a similar approach to publicly-accessible data of all kinds.

The cartels are not motivated guerilla armies. They are made up of 100% mercenaries. I doubt that there would be many encounters between them and US SOF because once that possibility is on the table, most of them will decide it's not worth the paycheck.

Also, guerilla forced that have fought the US have all been dependent on state support. There will be no such support for the cartels as they have no state allies.
