"SS is easy to fix by just lifting the income cap on it and making it more progressive."

That's kind of a loaded statement. Just eliminating the cap can strengthen the system, but won't fully fix it. We could fix any deficit by increasing taxes enough (eg making it more progressive). I would potentially support removing the cap, but I would want to see changes around capital gains taxation before making the tax more progressive. I think most of the deficit fixes should be through actual tax architecture changes (capital gains, AMT/deduction, etc) vs just increasing rates or adding higher brackets.

"it isn't really enough to live but might prevent you from starving to death."

I believe the benefits have decreased in real value over time. However, it was originally intended to prevent people (mostly widows, children, and elderly) from starving. It wasn't designed to be a sole retirement program - people were expected to save or buy bonds. This is a similar type of thing for other retirement topics - like the 401k was originally meant to be supplimental. Most people in the US are extremely poorly prepared for retirement for a variety of reasons.
I don't think it's not a practical solution but one way to "solve" this is by having folks from mozilla/apple etc sitting on the chromium board where they make decisions.

To be clear: I was asking for data about relative frequencies of accidents with varying tools, not about risks from table saws.

But yes, those are all risks. Additionally, like most tools a poorly maintained table saw is more dangerous.

The table saw I grew up using was from the 1940s, so was about 50 years old by the time I started using it in the late 90s. Its fence was always around 1-3° out of alignment. Absolutely no safety features whatsoever. The motor was fairly weak too, and the surface was rough, so you needed to use a bit of force while cutting, which obviously increases the risk of slipping into the blade.

I got a SawStop last year for my new house's shop and was pleasantly surprised by how little force I needed to use to guide workpieces along it while cutting.
Tons of other air pollution sources too, from trash fires to cooking.

It would be nice to cut down on any one source, and cars are definitely a big problem, but not the only one.

That seems like a very reasonable definition to me.

To your expanded definition: there's plenty of 'contentious' discussions that could happen on Hackernews for example and I'm very glad that dang's excellent moderation and the community culture as a whole prevents them from overwhelming everything else as much as possible. Some subjects have the tendency to be very passionate and personal and to take over spaces when they appear, and letting every thread devolve into those topics makes for an unpleasant place.

But the original definition requires it be "rude, disrespectful or unreasonable". So I don't think a controversial topic is necessarily toxic by their definition, though some topics tend to turn toxic very fast.

These adjectives all pretty uncontroversially negative. The HN guidelines say "Be kind. Don't be snarky". Saying that a rude comment is toxic is just correct. If your terse comment or off-color joke is rude or unreasonable it Is toxic and you probably shouldn't say it.
NPR article from 2017 on this, "Despite Proven Technology, Attempts To Make Table Saws Safer Drag On":

Per above, the way SawStop® works:

> Gass is a physicist and he designed a saw that could tell the difference between when it was cutting wood and the instant it started cutting a human finger or hand. The technology is beautiful in its simplicity: Wood doesn't conduct electricity, but you do. Humans are made up mostly of salty water — a great conductor.

> Gass induced a very weak electrical current onto the blade of the saw. He put an inexpensive little sensing device inside it. And if the saw nicks a finger, within 3/1000ths of a second, it fires a brake that stops the blade. Gass demonstrates this in an epic video using a hot dog in place of a finger. The blade looks like it just vanishes into the table.

Anger can give you the energy to address an uncomfortable issue that would otherwise remain suppressed. For example your partner doesn't do the dishes. You become angry and confront your partner on the subject.

Now there is an opportunity for you two to work through the issue, and the partner has to feel some of the emotional impact of their behavior, preventing them from dismissing it.

If that issue remained unaddressed, you might deal with the stress by reducing your view of your partner as a capable thoughtful individual, which is a much harder situation to address than a difficult emotional conversation.

I’m assuming you never read Steve Jobs’ “Thoughts on Music”

https://macdailynews.com/2007/02/06/apple_ceo_steve_jobs_pos...

Short version:

The music industry wanted Apple to license FairPlay. SJ said no. But Apple will start selling interoperable DRM free music if the industry allows it.

One of the major labels and independents took them up on the offer and Apple did it. The other three labels wanted among other things - a royalty from each iPod sold and for Apple to basically post a bond against piracy.

Apple refused and it took until early 2009 for the rest of the labels to come on board.

"an entire USB sound card" is literally a single piece of silicon (plus some passive components like resistors and capacitors) that can cost less than 10 cents to manufacture. Not exactly a huge burden here.

Additionally, unlike a 3.5mm jack, you don't need to deal with a 'sound card' that can handle almost anything you can plug into it. You get to tailor your headphone/headset drivers specifically to your attached devices. The general-purpose device that can handle anything you can throw at it costs much more.

The vast majority of opposition isn't from environmentalists. At least that's not what the article says.

In fact, the only person quoted speaking about the environmental impact is a local dairy farmer, who's more concerned about loss of local "nature" rather than broader environmental concerns.

I can't speak to whether this is a good project or not. The article doesn't provide enough details for that, but what is pretty clear is that the article provides no evidence that any opposition is due to environmentalists.

Also, thanks to environmentalists millions fewer people are dying each year. Or I guess you really like lead in your air, or burning rivers, or smog, or skin cancer, or asthma... And we haven't even touched on the impacts of climate change yet.

Need to clarify which society is meant by "our".

The authors of this paper are Japanese, and the participants are local university students. I would assume suppression of anger is the norm for most people involved in this study, since Japanese culture generally aims to preserve harmony.

This is in contrast with some cultures that are more direct in their communications and perhaps not suppressing much at all. It's possible that they would see different results when the experiment is done with a more diverse group of participants.

Floppy Disk Repair Co
Yes, I've been seeing Needham-Schroeder as a possible optimization in a PQ world, but in order to make it so we'll need a true Kerberos-ish infrastructure.

I've played a lot (in my mind, mainly, though I've done some implementation work) with using PKINIT and DANE to build something like the PKCROSS that never happened. I.e., we could use PKI (DANE preferably, as opposed to x.509) to bootstrap Kerberos symmetric trusts as needed / on demand.

There's a lot to think about before jumping in, like:

- can we simplify Kerberos V5 and/or fix
various problems in it, or start from
scratch (and simpler)?

(IMO: start from scratch)

- think that symmetrically-encrypted JWT
is a lot like Kerberos' AP protocol

- we should strive to have an RFC 4559
style bearer token profile that can be
used with much less code than Kerberos
is traditionally implemented with

- we should strive to have Needham-Schroeder
in TLS so that we don't need all of the
awful krb5_...() APIs nor GSS-API

- though keep in mind that GSS-API is a
good basis for a TLS API (that's what
SChannel is: TLS as an SSP using the
SSPI, and SSPI is the MSFT equivalent
of GSS-API)

- let's make sure there's JSON-ish
extensibility in token/ticket/whatever
metadata

- let's make sure various Kerberos V5
mistakes get fixed / not remade

> Revocation by CAs is easy and can be immediately effective.

This is also true with DANE for the same reason: you're relying on a DNS RR being removed, both from its zone and from caches (so, low TTLs, though not excruciatingly low).

It's also true in Kerberos V5 because tickets are typically short-lived. PKIX could do this too (short-lived certificates).

> The client finds three of these CA records where the UUID matches a CA that the client trusts.

I'm really not fond of the idea that we should repeat the non-hierarchical mistakes of WebPKI. I'd rather we find a way to live with the DNSSEC PKI and increase trust in it by making it harder to subvert:

1) always use QName minification in
making DNS queries,

2) add CT to DNSSEC,

3) make client detect and inform users
about unexpected changes in zone
pubkeys

(1) means that an MITMing root zone or TLD zone doesn't get to know [from the query] the full name you're trying to resolve, which means they need to commit to MITMing before knowing how interested they might be in MITMing, and then this forces them to stay in the middle.

(2) is obvious: try to catch the root and TLDs MITMing.

(3) is also about clients noticing possible MITMing.

Op didn't mention businesses so why are you? Plenty of regular people own them as well, woodworking is a very popular hobby.

>Even for purely private usage - if you can't afford to buy a SawStop saw, then rent one.

Dunno why some people decide they get to nanny everyone else. There's plenty of other dangerous tools (when misused) to come after next if you go down this path.

The op here is right, the most likely path is rigging a circular saw into a table saw from some internet tutorial. People have done worse to save less.
Standard oil invented tanker cars and built pipelines. Everyone else was stuck unloading 55 gallon drums from normal railcars beacuse of patents and relative lack of investment.

Then the government broke standard oil up, rather than revoke the patent or reform the system in away way, and prices got higher for consumers in the end.

This is often brought up as a success story. Patents never have worked as intended.
But does it actually cost that much more or does SawStop just price their saws at a premium for having a premium feature?

I have a feeling it won't happen due to the way the assets are. A lot of this money is unrealized, and can't be realized in practical terms. What we end up with are massively wealthy individuals holding companies (fiat assets) rather than real assets like land. Part of what drives inflation is the demand. If most people have relatively low incomes because most of the money creation goes to a few, then there won't be increased competition for the masses. Basically the wealthy people are in a different market in many cases and the inflation of securities wouldn't be accounted for in the CPI.

These are just my own thoughts.
