> Singer is one of the few philosophers writing today who is willing to follow the logic of arguments made in defense of abortion all the way to the end of the long, dusty road, concluding ultimately that there is no important moral distinction between abortion and infanticide, and that the killing of some newborn babies ought to be permitted in law.

> “Newborn human babies have no sense of their own existence over time,” he explains. “So killing a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person, that is, a being who wants to go on living.” Singer can make such claims because he rejects the notion that there is something special (dare we say, sacred) about human beings, whatever their age or cognitive abilities. He argues that one ought to assess a being’s rights based on his or her individual capacities, not on his or her membership of the human species. Within this argument is, writes McBryde Johnson, a “terrible purity.”
Lexicographers can be frustrated all they want. People do indeed "like playing with language."

Sometimes one may want to be accurate but not really need to be precise. Sometimes one needs to be both accurate and precise. One should never be precise and inaccurate (e.g pi=8.739216503).

But sometimes people need to be vague and ambiguous (e.g diplomacy) and sometimes one can be ambiguous with another who knows exactly what he means.

Sometimes the gap is easier filled with non-verbals. If a waiter asks me if I'd like fresh ground pepper on my salad he doesn't ask if I want one twist, a couple of twist, few twist, or several twist. He starts grinding the pepper over my salad and says "Say when".

On the other hand, my wife has no need to ask. She knows I mean sex. (You didn't see that coming. I jest, but a couple has several ways of saying sex without saying it, some fewer than others.)

I can see it now...
Perhaps you misread. The microplastics in the ocean are from airborne tire particles, as in from cars' tires rubbing on roads, that get washed away into the ocean.

You could build cities of tires in the ocean and they would probably not be significant compared with normal tire friction in normal vehicle use.

Also most of those reefs will be covered by debris and ocean flora, synthetic rubber is mostly decomposed by friction or UV radiation if it's left alone and covered in ocean stuff it will arguably be insignificant compared to your personal contribution of eroding tires on your way to work.
ParaSite? Seriously?
Just keep in mind, dose-dependence is variable. It’s not a virus, but even one cryptosporidium oocyst is enough to get you sick.

This brings back memories of my childhood. I am from a coastal village in (northern) Andhra Pradesh, India.

We call it "పచ్చడి" (pachchadi) in Telugu. If it were to be made in a process usual to the rest of the state (or the country), it would not last longer due the village's close proximity to the sea.

So my aunt and grandmother would also add jaggery to the pickle, to stop it from developing fungus sooner and to give it a sweet taste along with sour and spicy taste mango pickles are known for. This addition would give the pickle a deeper colour.

I always preferred it over the regular mango pickle.

I think this was fairly obvious once they started trumpeting all-time highs in weird metrics that no-one had ever heard of. I can find no evidence for anyone ever using the phrase “unregretted user minutes” before 2022, say.

Both decent approaches and we reduced a lot of friction by using code generation.

Unfortunately, modern development favors having all logic on the application side. There are a lot of benefits that brings including better testing (stored proc testing frameworks never really caught on) however I find now a lot of people I work with rely too heavily on the ORM and don't know how to work with the databases (writing sub optimal queries, not properly indexing, etc)
>There are plenty of situations where the desired prebuilt artifacts aren't available, and you'd prefer to not have 5 clang-s and 7 gcc-s installed

You don't need to install a toolchain to use it. The build tool should handle everything for you and should handle clearing caches of unsued toolchains that are no longer needed.

Well that world would suck immensely, with horrible integration between hardware and software like exists right now outside of the Apple world. Case in point: can you copy text on your phone, and paste in your computer (and vice versa), seamlessly as if it were the same device, without any configuration, hacks or programs needed? Things like that are amazing and I'd never give up. And I'm sure most people wouldn't want to give this up either just because Linux fanboys want to.

If the hardware is not too insanely complex, until there is a maintained and properly written open source driver with public hardware programming documentation for some OS, a working linux driver will probably follow if this hardware has a pertinent meaning.

You're missing the point though. The broadband sensors acting on another's behalf is the problem because all that'll happen is more and more liberties will be taken with the concept of ownership/post-purchase monteization, then god knows who is watching what.

It can be simultaneously true that EVs are absolutely a big improvement over ICE vehicles, and that switching all vehicles to EVs doesn't solve 100% of the problems - therefore it's good to both continue pushing to move to EVs, and to push for alternatives as suggested by GP.
> [without] the purported senders cooperation

Thinking about forging mail, in the case of senders who control their DKIM signing keys (me, for instance), if you have the sender's cooperation then you have access to their private DKIM key, can't you just sign any message you like?

No need for the messages you're forging and signing to go anywhere near any email clients or mailservers at all.

I think it _really_ depended on what your Twitter bubble was. Mastodon generally feels like “better twitter” to me, but the sort of people I interacted with on Twitter were generally also the sort of people who’d find Mastodon appealing. (Actual Twitter now feels like a graveyard; if I look at the “Following” tab on my dormant Twitter account, there’s barely anything going on at all.) This will not be the case for everyone.
One could equally argue that diamond thefts or Ferrari thefts help reinforce that idea, and that solving them doesn't. So I don't buy that explanation.

Someone commented that the police think bikes are basically toys. I think that's closer; cops like powerful cars, utility-belts stuffed with nightsticks, handcuffs and tasers, and other "manly" metal shit. Bikes are for children, and for drug-dealers escaping down alleyways.

As a bit of a pickle enthusiast, I must object to the idea that it is "vegetables in vinegar and not a lot else".

I was looking at making various Japanese pickles last year and rice bran with miso is a very common dry pickling bed; salt pickles are far more common than vinegar pickles (the recipe book I looked at had about ¼ of its pickles with some sort of vinegar, usually a rice vinegar).

Even vinegar-based Western pickles are far more interesting than "just vinegar", because most pickles have herbs and spices (pickled dill cucumbers have dill, garlic, and often mustard seed or coriander, sometimes chilli flakes). Also fairly common in Western pickles are wine pickles (not for cucumbers; sometimes used to finish the aging of sauerkraut) or salt pickles (preserved lemon, most sauerkrauts, the better pickled dill cucumbers).

And then you get the interesting pickles like Branston Pickle (more accurately called a chutney made with pickled vegetables, but…).

I also buy quite a few oil-pickled products from Italy; I suspect that many Mediterranean cultures use oil pickling over vinegar pickling. (Although the production methods for most of these would start with brining — salt pickling — they would be dried and the curing would be finished in the oil that they ship in.)
I don't think any of these events were mistakes. Mozilla has been usurped and sabotaged.

terrible idea.

people buy apple products precisely because of how integrated they are. this idealism and desire to force companies to support everything (as much as i want gaming on mac/linux and drivers for things supported) is the single most dangerous idea that would completely ruin the user experience for millions.
> Exposure is a function of pathogen concentration and contact time, so if you can reduce either of those, you can better avoid infectious diseases.

What these articles don't talk about are the real-life challenges of concentration and contact time. For example, being a parent with a kid in school they might randomly sneeze or cough in my face while being completely asymptomatic. Then of course we all come down with covid later on.

Secondly, the claims about viral load and shedding have conflicting science on new variants too:

> https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-01816-0#Sec7

i.e

> Nevertheless, in our study, correlation between RNA and infectious VL was equally low between fully vaccinated and unvaccinated Delta-infected patients, indicating that factors other than mucosal neutralizing antibodies may be important for the reduction in infectious VL

> Within 5 DPOS, we found higher RNA VLs but lower infectious VLs in swabs of unvaccinated patients with pre-VOC infections compared to Delta. These results disagree with other studies that analyzed only nucleic acid detection and found 3–10-fold-higher RNA copy number in Delta-infected patients compared to pre-VOC-infected patients

> Although VL is a key element of transmission, the process of human-to-human transmission is complex, and other factors, such as varying recommended protection measures, overall incidence, perceived risks and the context of contacts (household versus community transmission), can influence outcomes in the studies reported.

The best point from this article is the following:

> Transmission dynamics are complex, but the interventions we can take to protect ourselves are comparatively simple.
That's a very different claim from what was said originally though. It's true that World War II resulted in the US being much more powerful, but the evidence that this was the intention all along in joining the war is very shaky. Both among national elites, and even moreso among the general public, opinion was pretty strongly isolationist and against getting involved in World War II until Pearl Harbor happened. There's not really any reason to believe that there was a master plan to make the US the global superpower by entering the war, it just kind of happened.
> Do we actually have any proof of this?

It's entirely possible that the people currently advocating, and the current would-be users will only target our current definition of "bad people".

On a long enough time horizon, every power will be abused. The "bad people" will be redefined, or the ends will justify the means.

What you said isn’t controversial. It’s definitely right.

The issue with masks is one side started treating them like a talisman that makes infection impossible, which provoked the other side to say they do nothing.

On a population level, masks are probably close to ineffective against a viral pathogen. You can read the relevant Cochrane review to see that.

On an individual level they obviously do something, but you have to consider other factors as well, such as level/frequency of exposure and the like. Studies from prior to the pandemic suggested that a perfectly fitted N95 mask dramatically reduced flu virus penetration. For a more normally worn N95 the reduction was about 70%. For a surgical mask it was essentially nil. Importantly, a perfectly fitted mask required essentially gluing it to the face of a mannequin.

Final point is, with an intervention whose impact is measurable but imperfect, you have to consider the side effects. I personally know several friends of my teenage kids who now have odd (to me at least) social phobias for which the only “cure” is to wear masks everywhere. Just last weekend I was talking to a friend of my daughter who wears masks everywhere except indoors.
Ok, so despite anecdotal evidence that some individuals can distinguish better-than-CD quality audio, we're questioning the existence of convincing double-blind studies. Yet we accept the varying cutoffs for what frequencies a person can consciously detect in isolation, as proof that we are incapable of perceiving audio information above those frequencies.

Are people asserting that an ear removed from a cadaver, hooked up to the best available scientific equipment, measures as a perfect biologically derived low pass filter? Or that we even partially understand how neurons work, when there may be quantum effects to be uncovered a century from now?

Intellectual history is a graveyard of models confused with reality.

Perhaps there is space for a nuanced:

This would not even be something completely new.

It would just revert the market for computer peripherals and interfaces to how it was before the launch of MS Windows 95.

In the MS-DOS days everything was provided with detailed technical information, so you could write your own device drivers, for any operating system.

This ended in 1995, after which most hardware vendors stopped providing documentation and replaced it with MS Windows device drivers.
I live in Germany, so it might differ from your country. Usually I use nearby search with "software" or "IT" for a few different locations and strategies:

- My home address (here I look in a broader radius to not miss anything)
- Areas with high IT company concentration (often I already see this high concentrated areas in the nearby home search)
- Areas near tech universities (where the experts are)

This should give you a brief overview but unfortunately this list is pretty unqualified. After this I tend to visit the homepages to get an impression of the company.

It's a lot of work but mostly, you have to do this once and only give the list a refresh after a few years.
>but nobody's special enough to get their own just because it's officially supported

Why? Distros should run the actual build without trying to swap out the toolchain with something else. If a new compiler version causes a crash of performance regression that will look bad on the original developer.
I used to work on the opposite side of the road to the police station and I would D-Lock my bike to the railings immediately in front of the door of the police department (literally 3ft from the door).

I come out of work and my bike is gone. There is a piece of the lock on the ground and you can see they used an angle grinder to cut it. I took the piece inside to the desk and showed the officer who took my report and agreed it was definitely an angle grinder.

AN ANGLE GRINDER AT THE LITERAL DOOR OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. WTF.

I got a call from the cops three days later. Apparently a cop did see dude grinding my lock off and stopped him as he was leaving and grabbed my bike and put it in storage at the police department. There was just a communication breakdown.

So, happy ending. But still, WTF?
There are good studies on viral load reduction from masking with flu viruses from before 2020. After 2020 the topic became politicized so the studies are probably unreliable.
This would be my expectation too. Though I’d think you’d need to go one further - hardware manuals AND a license to redistribute any necessary firmware binaries - the latter has been an issue with Nouveau for example.

In fact I think manuals are probably better in a lot of cases, OEM drivers are routinely terrible.
RCTs show surgical and cloth masks to be ineffective or nearly so for reducing the spread of respiratory viruses. Obviously the kinds of masks used in BSL labs do work to prevent spread.

However there are statistics that areas with more masking had less severe illness. However that’s uncontrolled and some other factors or factors might account for both increased masking and reduced spread. That’s probably the case otherwise the RCTs would show efficacy.

All of the subsequent work is just computer models and doesn’t actually tell us anything empirical. Obviously it’s easier to create a model that produces the desired result than it is an RCT.
The assertion is that if you dump a gooey grey gallon of pure covid on someone, their symptoms will be more severe than if they only get 18 virions. Do you suppose that wouldn't be the case?

Chrome has a lot of little things that makes it feel smoother for me, e.g. the browser launches a little bit faster, closing multiple tabs is accessible in one menu click (compared to a second level menu in Firefox), easier access to create and switch between profiles, incognito window that is visually distinct from a regular window, etc.

None of the little things are absolute must-haves, but the little things do add up.
I've almost exclusively seen them on "luxury" apartment websites, where they're completely ignorable . oh, and tidepool, a diabetes data visualization website, where it is actually required.
And I've yet to hear mention of the people who weren't prosecuted because they paid the excess out of their own pocket. From the stories I have read, it seems that many who were prosecuted had tried that but ran out of money. Many more must have successfully dealt with the "shortfall" and are surely due their own restitution now?

Every transaction the system touched should be inspected, because I'm sure there were plenty of sub-postmasters who took the "shortfall" at face value and paid up without even thinking about questioning the system.
A base 8 or 16 version of this might be useful for calculating products on old CPUs without a multiply instruction, without having unreasonably large tables.

One table driven way of accelerating 8×8 bit multiplication with a table of modest size (e.g., 256 words) is https://dercuano.github.io/notes/multiplication-with-squares... -- however since there are 17578 distinct products of two 8 bit numbers, even a full Irish Logarithm table would probably be infeasible to store in most systems where the technique would be relevant. (you've used over 50% of a 16-bit address space on the table) And 6 table look-ups for 4 bits at a time is likely to be slower than 2 table look-ups for the 8-bit square table, even with the extra bit shifting required.
Oh yes.

My personal go-tos are Shan and Deep (I really like the Shan garlic pickle and the Deep lemon and lime pickles; they both make competent mixed achar). If I can’t find either of those, I will settle for Patak's over other brands I have not tried (there are some I have tried and Do Not Like).
