I have some sympathy for that because I had a couple advisors quit my program on me and the program still tried to enforce time to degree deadlines on me without asking my then advisor (in a different department by then) and misstating factual information about credits expiring (which is determined at the school level not the department level).

Looks very nice! A few things I'd like to see to make it more useful:

- Let me pick a database when I start so the data types are restricted to that particular database. This can help down the line with other quirks and particularities of each db.

- I'd love to be able to use this and convert it to a model for my ORM (I'm currently using Prisma, but depending on your vision this could expand to other languages and ORMs such as, for example, Django). This would be helpful because I'd be able to jump from design to implementation without rewriting everything as models in my ORM.

- The nodes to establish relationships are difficult to click, and several times I ended up dragging the table instead. Consider making them easier to grab.

- If I delete a property from the table (in the grid) there's no quick way to undo. A toast message with an undo link would be helpful.

- The "delete diagram" option didn't ask me for confirmation and even if I saved my diagram before, it's gone. And this option is dangerously close to "Rename"!

I'm confused by what I'm seeing as a difference in your thread-root comment and your attitude in this branch. In the thread root you opened with the idea that control of the military might work differently in the future. Here you seem to be asking for a justification for the idea that control of the military might play out differently in the future.

The topic was "Civilian control [of, presumably, the military]". The root comment seemed comfortable with the idea that individuals can go rogue if they have access to a large number of machines that unquestioningly obey them. I'm not sure why you think society being organised democratically makes that suddenly a non-issue again, and if you believe that then why did you suggest this topic in the first place?

Military generals are just people and power reliably corrupts. There is a bit of a screen to try and pick emotionally stable and patriotic ones - and I assume that generally works - but the big control is that fact that all the people reporting to them are voters. If the people reporting to them are from
a smaller pool of voters and vastly more productive with machine aid, there is room to speculate that control will be less effective or maybe even fail.

Not the person you replied to, but reading the line below in the GP comment, I assumed the founder was exclusively a patent attorney with no product-relevant background.

They said, sure. Saw Stop has been such a toxic bad actor around their patents since forever, they don't get any benefit of doubt. I'm certain they'd just back down from that promise as soon as the law passes. How about they make all their patents public domain beforehand, to motivate passing the law (and I'd that point I'd be happy to support the law).

And imagine if this law passes and Saw Stop has monopoly on table saws. Sure, today you can buy one for $900 but nothing will prevent them from raising that to like $5000 when nobody else is allowed to build a table saw.
Imagine a top-level screen filter that processes all you see in ways which you define.

I’m personally for seatbelts* and against mandates for their use. Giving the government another tool to meddle in the lives of people, fining them, raising their insurance rates, and a law that’s easy to selectively enforce seems like a worse tradeoff than a few people who will decide to not wear one and avoidably come to grief as a result of their choice.

* To the point that I added them to a car of mine that didn’t originally come equipped with them. I like them and wear them regularly by choice, as should be the case.

I used to volunteer as a guardian ad litem; you are an independent party who advocates for a child’s interests in family court (I had one during my parent’s divorce, and I wanted to pay it forward). Between that experience, and knowing that 40% of annual pregnancies both in the US and globally are unintended, you arrive at the conclusion that a lot of suffering is because of unwanted children existing through no fault of their own, and parents who are, quite frankly, either unequipped or willfully harmful and should’ve never been parents.

So now, I strongly advocate for anyone who even has a hint of not wanting to have kids to seek permanent birth control (vasectomy or bisalp). Could you possibly regret not having kids? Sure, we all grieve the loss of optionality and possibility. But having kids you don’t want or can’t take care of is far more regretful imho, for everyone involved.

> Perhaps the root cause is when kids are born, regardless of public policies or personal choices, that aren't wanted, aren't loved, and lack sensible parental role models, they end up in worse circumstances and have more problems in life.

Last month I was traveling in Sri Lanka, and seeing all the tuk tuks zipping around, using those sub-optimal combustion engines, I thought that it would be little revolution when one would start selling EV rickshaws. Those vehicles are light, and do not do long drives (smaller battery needed), can charge once a day.

It would have to change few habits, but combined with a swapping battery all Gogoro for instance, it could be a nice solution for public transportation.
Most amputations on a table saw are because of kickback pulling the worker's hand into the blade. Riving knife, a well adjusted fence, and knowing which cuts have potential for kickback can mitigate this.
A more succinct question would be "can antitrust laws override the ToS?" The answer is "yes". The FTC can even make Apple change its ToS through a consent decree (and possibly through other mechanisms as well). A ToS can't shield you from antitrust enforcement. In this case, it might even hurt Apple, especially if it can be shown that Apple doesn't consistently apply this rule.

But let's say it's not antitrust, which is what your question is trying to imply. Apple will still need to answer to the other ways it makes third-party messaging apps worse on iOS - automatic offloading and share extensions being two examples.
I can see some potential issues with this:

1) Patents. The article goes into this a bit -- supposedly the folks behind SawStop have said they'd open up a key patent, but I wouldn't want the U.S. government to mandate this without reading all the fine print and making sure that this can't be used by SawStop to crush all their competitors.

2) Materials. I often cut aluminum on my table saw, using a non-ferrous metal cutting blade. (It works fine for wood too.) As I understand it, SawStops are activated when they detect high conductivity materials. How does this work for cutting metals?

3) False positives, repair costs. Replacing the blade periodically due to accidentally cutting wood with slightly-too-high moisture content would get tiresome. (For that matter, so would putting off a project for months if I have to wait for the wood to dry out.)

I'm generally in favor of safer tools, but it seems like there are some significant trade-offs involved here.
It’s a lie because they calculated 60% of a smaller number than the total costs. There’s no well it’s not actually that big a deal if it’s really 58% or whatever no it’s just a lie.

The upfront land cost isn’t that big I think that 1980 estimate had 0.2%. Except lands gone up a lot faster than inflation and loans are setup so you pay interest on that land for several years of construction and only after operating do you start paying down those loans.

Land costs and plant sizes vary wildly let’s suppose you’re going to spend 100m on land and you’re paying 6%. Construction takes say 7 years from purchase though it can get a lot worse. By the time you have an actual power plant that’s 150m, but you still haven’t actually paid for the land you take another 30 years to pay off the loan so it’s more like 330 million. Not a huge number, but many different not huge numbers add up.

Again, I am not saying land costs themselves are that significant, just that lumping those in when you talk about saving money on construction is misleading.

I don’t think the congress intends on prescribing the particular technology in use to accomplish this. That, would be a bad idea. They should set the goals (what constraints are acceptable in the name of making this technology affordable).

If it is being left up to the manufacturer, then half the arguments being mentioned here are moot. Other manufacturers are free to get creative about it. I can think of a few different ways myself - even something like assisted manoeuvring of the wood piece without direct contact of the hand, a retractable shield, etc.

I can't imagine it will ever be cost-effective the labor of repairing a blade after that instead of just getting a new one.

The key element here that wasn't explicitly mentioned in the video is that this would likely requre genlock to sync both cameras facing the beam splitter for this to work decently well on any moving subject.

I think this is the reason they're using the Z Cam (presumably E2) cameras visible at 2:48, 3:31, 4:05, & 11:05 because that's one of the most inexpensive genlockable cameras available. This would rule out most mirrorless and prosumer video cameras unless the subject isn't moving fast or a half-frame misalignment is acceptable. Heck, a non-genlocked version of this might be preferable to weird motion blur on existing chroma keyed backgrounds. Very exciting tech
Well you won’t be allowed to participate, and could be trespassed if you refuse to follow the rules… so kinda
Cox had the advantage (I presume) when writing this of looking at the original source, for which all the links I found are long dead (because presumably this code moved to git years later) and he's a smart guy so we should definitely believe what he describes over my recollections.

But I think you're slightly wrong here, I think Cox is describing three cases where OpenSSL takes a bunch of bytes and says here you go entropy pool, here's some potential entropy to add, if it wasn't really entropy that's fine, stir it in anyway.

A. Buffers you've provided and are asking to pour random data into. OpenSSL thinks this is clever - best case the data is unpredictable and it helps, worst case it's just zeroes and the entropy pool will handle that anyway. Valgrind and similar tools will be very angry when you do this to actual uninitialized buffers, which in C is really easy to write and so likely to be common. This is the case that already had a comment about such problems and is the second of two places Debian removed.

B. Buffers OpenSSL tried to put entropy from the Linux random device into. OpenSSL doesn't bother checking that the randomness went into the buffer, after all if it didn't the buffer is uninitialized... This is the first of the two places Debian removed (in terms of line number). This is where "Debian Weak Keys" come from because now the "random" numbers are not random. In almost any real world scenario this code was unproblematic although very stupid, until it was patched.

C. A Buffer read from a file the user provided with entropy in it. This only ends up with uninitialized data if the file shrinks while OpenSSL is trying to read it, which can happen but would probably be some sort of attack. Again though OpenSSL doesn't care, Debian did not patch this code AFAIK but very few people care about it.

Edited to add: One thing I really like in the discussion below the actual post you linked is the idea that the OpenSSL people are thinking the Debian dev wants to debug their software and are saying it's fine to comment out the randomness in order to help them do debugging not realising the developer actually intends to remove the randomness because they believe it's a bug. When you re-read the mailing list posts with this understanding and forgetting the Debian Weak Keys bugs, it snaps into place - we can't know if that's really what happened of course, but it makes sense.
