Except it literally is - both the letter of the law, and the spirit of the law are equally important under the American (and English!) legal systems and most interesting precedent is due to ‘edge cases’.

It’s impossible to write any law which covers every scenario and is not either overbroad (penalizes actually desirable or ‘ok’ behavior in some cases), not being possible to get around for bad behavior, or so vague it heavily restricts desired behavior.

Hell, look at the legal battles and drama around murder trials or corporate malfeasance for clear examples. And those are the ones where the bad actors were so clearly being bad that professionals felt they could nail them to the wall in court.

Also, as the old saw goes - ‘if the letter of the law is not in your favor, argue the intent.

If the intent of the law is not in your favor, argue the facts.

If neither the letter nor the intent of the law is in your favor, pound the table.’

Carl Sandburg perhaps?

For example - did someone commit first degree murder or something else (manslaughter, second degree murder?), if they intentionally laid in wait and shot someone they thought was person A - but it was actually person B, who looked similar but they actually didn’t know at all.

After all, they didn’t intentionally commit premeditated murder against person B did they? But they did definitely premeditate something that became a murder!

So was this negligent homicide in fact (they accidentally killed simeone who wasn’t their target due to negligent behavior), or first degree murder (intent) because they intentionally murdered a human being with premeditation - though it was actually an accident they killed that particular human being, and they had no premeditation or intent to kill that particular human?

In the case of CFCs the dangers were hypothetical in the 1970s. It wasn’t until the mid-to-late 1980s that the ozone hole was documented and the chemistry of how it happens really understood. (I was doing a student project analyzing satellite observations of chemical species in the atmosphere around this time.)

It is also telling that the aerosol spray can ban was in 1978 and Dupont’s patents for CFCs ran out in 1979. Dupont was a CFC advocate up until 1986 when they had patents for HCFCs, at that point they thought a ban was a great idea.

We’ve been through a regulatory treadmill since then where now the first generation of HCFCs are known to be powerful global warming gases and those are getting banned so these are being replaced by newer patented substances. Asthma inhalers that would have been cheap have been expensive because they’ve either getting filled with new F-gases or are dry power inhalers, either way they are still under patent.
Reading the description of the interchange fee cap, it sounds like the cap should apply also for US-issued cards used in the EU [0]:

> ... the capping of interchange fees should result in lower fees charged by banks to retailers for processing card payments.

If users of US cards still get 5% rewards when using their cards in the EU, I'm curious about who pays for the 4.7% shortfall.

> sane policy. Every time Office 365 is down I watch the maddening dash of IT workers who can't get anything done, it's amusing.

While there might be issues with Office 365's reliability (I don't know, I use Google Docs), the online collaborative capabilities is a fantastic tradeoff. Mailing individual files amongst a group of collaborators impede productivity (even though it has other benefits).

You could make the argument that cloud solutions are not a prerequisite for collaborative tools like Office 365 or Google Docs, but desktop peer-to-peer systems like those that Groove Networks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groove_Networks) tried to create did not take off.

The complexity of crypto is probably the biggest.

The second biggest is the missing need: Most people don't have any advantage of using crypto. They go to work, get a salary, buy/sell things and thats it.

If you don't need to buy something illegal or really believe that there is still a soviety left to take some crypto in worst case scenario, fiat is great.
I think we should ban PFAS. But it’s important to understand that Inhance is also relying on a rule that was deliberately incorporated into the law we have, decades ago, for good reasons.

The law makes a distinction between new uses, which require certain notice to the EPA, and existing uses. The idea is that the EPA can be more aggressive with a new thing that isn’t being used yet, than an existing thing that people are relying on. That balance was written into the law.

The environmental laws are full of these frameworks that force the EPA to make different trade offs. They’re not loopholes for industry, they’re the reality of balancing costs and benefits in a country where voters will throw you out of office if gas goes above $4/gallon. You’ll never get a law that says “EPA can ban anything it wants, costs be damned.”

Inhance has been using this same fluorination process for 40 years. The EPA itself has repeatedly told companies doing flourination they’re not covered by PFA orders. The EPA changed its mind based on new science, for probably reasonable reasons. But it’s entirely fair to make it go through the processes in the law for banning a longstanding use, instead of trying to use its authority over new uses to get at the same thing.
Do you believe that “the parameters” will be followed by AI image generation? If they think the parameters are somehow bulletproof then they don’t understand what tool they are using.

Ah.

EDIT: I shouldn't have been so terse.

First off, the fact you wrote that unironically and with such surety and verve means this is, at the very least, if you're in a place where your interlocution hurts Israel.

There's no way to explain this, even at length, in a way that's convincing. It's something that settles in over weeks, at best.

I'm intimately familiar with the branching arguments from here: ex. Hamas is stealing the aid, it's not Israel's job to make sure aid gets in, of course aid has to be screened, UNWRA radicalized palestine so UN isn't a reliable aide distribution partner, etc.

I had to make a bit of a journey myself on this topic: I spent Oct/Nov/Dec talking about Gaza Health Ministry is the last place I'd go to for death totals, etc. etc.

At some point once things pile up, and up, and up, it crosses a critical line where you can see in reality that our jaundiced view from thousands of miles away is a map, not the territory. It's a list of excuses used to avoid taking the world's easiest layup ("we are defeating the terrorists and flooding the zone with cookies and cakes for the civvies"), and that layup has been avoided for 6 months, there's been plenty of time to take action to avoid a visible outcome, and that outcome's visibility may have just vanished into the wind as another complaint from uninformed antisemites.

Let's say that's not Israel's problem and it's being unfairly treated by a PR campaign by radicals who contain antisemites.

Then either A) world government's are too scared of their population to admit Israel is doing just fine or B) maybe all that stacked up stuff is a list of excuses to not have to take action to treat Palestineans like people.
> this is why crypto never took off as a replacement for credit cards

If this were true you would expect crypto to have taken off in countries with low interchange rates. Europe, for example, has far less of a rewards and points culture for payment, and (compared to the US) much lower interchange.

Crypto never took off as a replacement for credit cards for many reasons - the biggest coins out there are simply too volatile to be usable as a currency, they lack the consumer protections you get paying with a credit card, and they’re simply too complex for an average person to understand.
Not sure what you're getting at. Contemporary stabbings in Jerusalem and the West Bank are mainly aimed at soldiers, same goes for shootings. There are exceptions, but doesn't seem very common.

I'm not following the conflict in Ukraine as closely but aren't there militia factions there attacking into Russia?

Hamas has been relatively successful, more successful than their competitors. What success in some universal sense would look like, I don't know. Currently Israel has pretty big problems though so it seems kinda successful in some general sense?

What do you mean by "extreme violence"? Reading this I get flashbacks to photos of people run over by israeli tanks and the kid who in november last year filmed himself when experiencing a lack of drones for the first time, so I think that's the kind of violence that has made the strongest impression on me from the last six months or so. Impulsively throwing handgrenades at people in a shelter is gruesome, but it lacks the calculation and sadism of running someone over with a tank and turning them into mush, or forcing kids to grow up under the constant hum of weaponised drones.

As far as hostage taking and 'legitimacy', it's hard to come up with alternatives. Israel routinely takes palestinian kids off the street in occupied territories and put them in military detention centers, commonly abuses or tortures them, and keeps prisoners indefinitely on weak or non-existent grounds. To force Israel to release prisoners through other means than hostage exchange would likely require quite a bit more violence, and I'm not so sure that is preferable.

I didn't call Hamas a charity organisation, I mentioned that they also do social and charity work. Which they do, and that's how they started.
They do, it just takes a while.

A valid interpretation but not the only way to describe it. If a merchant offers a 10% discount for spending $1000 or more, are they making lower-spending customers subsidize the purchases of higher-spending ones? Are they transferring wealth from poor to rich?

Technically yes. But what would the impact be of outlawing the practice of volume discounts through a “policy change”?

Chinese started WPS Office (called Kingsoft before) in 1989. Since end of 90s it is state favored and in 2011 received major grand. My wild guess is that they have much more incentive to use this rather than some broken open source Java thingie which is generally much slower than WPS.

Prior to AI, an algorithm that could identify objects in a picture seemed impossible. It's opened the door to countless use cases and has already redefined how we interact with technology to an extent. But it's early, like the internet was early in 1995.

And yes tons of scams and overhyping by people who clearly don't understand the technology themselves. Those people are always going to be around, they capitalize on excitement, regardless of whether the underlying thing is legitimate.

The card issuer and potentially the consumer via atrocious fees and a terrible exchange rate? I have a French-based American Express and their exchange rate + commission on any foreign currency transaction is flat out absurd (I'm talking like 50 euros commission on a 1k USD transaction, + a very bad course resulting in a total ~100+ euro difference than if I pay with a Revolut/N26/BoursoBank no-fee foreign currency payment card).
I mean, if you only think from the scale of 'only I exist on earth and nobody else' then yes, but if you consider the grand scale of tax evasion, the cost in your taxes from all of this is vastly greater than any credit card fee.

"Israel’s Supreme Court on Tuesday overwhelmingly rejected a 2017 law that would have allowed for the retroactive legalization of thousands of Jewish homes built on occupied West Bank land privately owned by Palestinians, a law so provocative that few believed when it was passed that it would survive judicial review."

"Those homes — already viewed as illegal by most of the world under international law, for having been built in occupied territory — will now remain illegal under Israeli law as well, and Palestinian landowners will be able to proceed with lawsuits seeking to evict the people living in them and recover their property."

And the original charter of Netanyahu's political party says "between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty".

That was a popular opinion about a year and half ago. It seemed liked the ignorant and indolent switched horses very quickly, although crypto might be coming back with the Bitcoin price going up, and SBF locked up in an oubliette to be forgotten.

I still see it as a serious bad sign that anybody mentions crypto and AI in the same sentence. For one thing they are diametrically opposite in economics. A blockchain uses 10,000 computers to do the work 1 computer could do (one reason why nobody showed up at a CS conference with the idea until Bitcoin mania hit) whereas AI models need a lot of computation and significant amounts of data such that there is no way you are going to do the computation on a blockchain and if you are extracting data from a blockchain it is going to be “small data”.

Congress can't do much of anything. Their ability to pass anything more important than naming a post office is essentially nil. They can't even perform the basic operation of keeping the government open, except by heroic last-minute effort.

Congress' rules were designed to protect minority opinions, and they're easily taken advantage of to prevent anything from happening at all. A fair number of Congresspeople were elected with the specific goal of locking Congress up, and they're pretty effective at it.

What I want to do is pass on the exact processing fee to my customers, then they can choose their payment method based on how much it is going to cost them. I might then choose to cover a portion of the fee for electronic transactions, because they mean I save money vs processing cash. But the customer would pay the excess.

I would need a system that can display to the customer what fee they would be charged with their selected payment method, and be given an option to switch to a less expensive payment method.
