> But to be clear they had already pled guilty to doing that crime in 2007 (and they also prosecuted the AUC, many AUC leaders were extradited to the US in 2008).

That's exactly what I mean for extremely selective enforcement

Say some hypothetically medium/small US business with some operations in Mexico has their employees stalked/intimidated and their equipment gets burned down and people with guns hang out in the office, usual cartel stuff that happens daily there

Then they go to the Mexican gov for help and find out they don't give a shit because they are paid off or worse directly working for the cartel (as this particular Colombian paramilitary group was notorious for being protected by the gov).

So they pay money to some local cartel to make them go away

This is bad yes and should be punished.

But I don't see how that behaviour at all should allow civil action by random families from Mexico who were harmed (indirectly) by the same Cartel to make a case in the US

That's the most disconnected and roundabout form of justice imagineable.

Their crime should have rightfully been procescuted by Colombia at the time or the US sanctioning them. That is the real deterence. Civil courts in the US have no business playing judge in that context IMO. Unless your goal is feel good emotions by giving victims of crime money by takkng money from another party coerced by the same criminals.

It suggests the owners are idiots, or being as charitable as I can, they are hoping to sell to idiots.

Because who else but an idiot would buy a used car for more than they can buy it retail?

Priced for != sold for. How much have they actually been selling for?

It can certainly exacerbate it. I'm less sure about creation; Tsarist Russia was not a nice place for anyone but the aristocracy, and life was also highly precarious in China before Mao came along - the Taiping Rebellion is estimated to have killed as much as 10% of the population, while China's population grew close to 50% during Mao's tenure despite the death of tens of millions from starvation.

I'm not communist, but it has arguably been a good fit for underdeveloped agrarian societies that feel a strategic need to industrialize rapidly without giving up political/industrial autonomy.

Watch them start distributing their programs through cartridges (hardware) to circumvent this type of law, or something ridiculous like that.
That's not what the s factor controls. It's a scaling factor on the intensity of the dirac shell itself, not the radius or positioning.

s acts something like the 1/d, a reciprocal of the dirac delta function. But this requires some careful technical attention. For example it might only invert the Dirac Delta functio on its support at the origin, and leave it zero elsewhere. But even then that notion is problematic. We might require some generalization of the distributions to allow reciprocals of distributions like this.

Another idea is that it maybe be are working in the limit as s goes to zero, like you suggest, but what they are attenuating is the intensity of the shell (without ever literally inverting the delta function)

Read the paper and try to work it out if you know a bit about distributions. It's a fun mystery right now!

The issue has nothing to do with conservatism versus liberalism, but sovereignty. Why should the US get to make law for the whole world, and then enforce that law in US courts?

The funny thing about the leftist children of Reaganites is that they maintain their parents’ universalism and lack of respect for foreign sovereignty. “Maybe America should fuck off and mind its own business” is never part of the political conversion.

There has to be a level of personal/private intent for this to be true.

I would argue that under a centrally planned economy, you could have the same number of people working, using the same tech/equipments and energy, but not be a good economy because the output isn't what those individual participants in the economy wants to consume.

The thing that's a bit scary about that Travel Act is: what happens when US laws change?

Instead of having sex with minors, suppose the US elected some crazy religious zealots who managed to make it illegal to have sex outside of heterosexual marriage, after getting abortion banned (so, not exactly far-fetched). So does that mean that all "US persons" (citizens, green card holders, residents, etc.) who travel (or live) outside the US and have sex with someone they're not married to are now criminals?

That's interesting, for me, podcasts are just news articles or books that I don't have the time to sit down and read. The only time I listen to podcasts and audiobooks are when I am walking around or doing chores. Yes, many podcasts have a human element to them that is nice, but just as many are still useful without a human, as for these ones, I'm primarily there for the information itself, not who conveys it.

They were clearly on the verge of integrating with NATO if not already doing so and close to the point where Russia was out of options.

Sorry, but this plainly nonsense.

The only way you could say they were "on the verge of joining" would be if NATO had indicated that intended to offer Ukraine an official invitation to join, via a formal step known as the Membership Action Plan. But that's been famously on hold as far back as the Bucharest Summit in 2008. It was really a very big deal at the time that both Georgia and Ukraine were specifically asking to be offered MAPs, but ultimately said "no" to both countries -- largely because France, Germany and (you really won't like this) the United States were all opposed, and this in turn, out of a desire to not upset Russia.

Of course there's also been a song and dance going about Ukraine eventually, some day joining the alliance, and yes Ukraine has an article in its constitution about wanting to join some day. But the whole point of these actions is they have been second-tier, rear-guard manoeuvres. Which if anything simply underscore the fact that the fundamental decision regarding Ukraine's status was made in 2008, and that since then there have been no major motions in process to reverse that decision.

It's simply not the case that they were "on the verge of joining, if not already doing so" in 2022. Or that the Western powers were on the verge of taking any action that was an imminent threat to Russia at the time. And far from being "out of options" -- by any pragmatic assessment of the situation, Russia already had a successful containment strategy in place in regard the issue, attained by purely diplomatic means.

But of course they chose to invade anyway, for reasons that never had anything to do with NATO in the first place.

no it wont for a long time.

If the elderly has any children (presumably they have), those children will inherit the house, rather than sell it at a loss. It would only decrease in price, if the children has a high need for cash, and a low/zero need for housing. This situation is still typically rare (for example, moving away permanently is one such situation). And even in those cases, you will rent out the house, rather than sell for a loss.

Therefore, the most average, and typical scenario is going to have the housing price be stable, rather than drop.
Like everything in life, there are some who choose to gamble on the unknown... and eventually become a cautionary tale.

The recommendation of using repeated sample clones as part of the identification process for agricultural purposes is recommended in Paul Stamets books. He makes several fairly good arguments why you shouldn't gamble with something capable of rapid genetic changes, bioaccumulation, and affecting your immune system in unpredictable ways.

I really want to hear from someone who is still at Twitter and hear their rationale for it.
I once went to a class once on bitters-making and learned that they can be made with water, alcohol, or oil to extract the flavors, and that all three versions will result in different flavors because they will extract different compounds in differening amounts.

(Also that some plants will have poisons that might be extracted in one method but not another, so you always want to research first.)

Obviously oil-based bitters aren't going to be compatible with cocktails because they won't mix in most cases.

But you can definitely make water-based bitters, if you want to avoid the flavors that alcohol extracts. But I think you'd then still add alcohol afterwards simply for preservation purposes, since you want a bottle of bitters to last for months/years and not need to bother with refrigeration.
> seems like a blatant abuse of the term person

Fictitious personhood is older than childhood personhood (or universal natural personhood, for that matter). To the degree we need a better term, it’s for natural persons.

It’s a logical consequence of assembly, tracing back thousands of years to trade guilds and municipalities needing the ability to stand in court as a collective.

Anyone who thinks we should end it should consider the consequences of requiring a find-and-replace exercise across our entire body of law, specifying which persons each statute and case applies to, and then prepare for an endless game of whack-a-mole as new categories of person are created. (Murder is legal if you’re a DAO!)

Hopefully some people are not deluding themselves about infinite growth, because trying to appeal to an audience 10 times larger than the current user base would really mean sanitizing the platform and losing what made it successful in the first place (and the users who cared about it).
> Linux desktops have no well-defined "minimum API version" that developers can target like they can on Android.

Of course they do: "Ubuntu 16.04+", " Debian 11+", "RHEL-like 8+". If you can use a single distro (which you're proposing anyways with Android), it's not hard. Sadly LSB didn't really work out so you don't have a more portable solution, but that just means that we're stuck with the status quo and not better.

Maybe.

But they do reference “product” alongside “management”…

If you just have a bunch of engineering a design ICs “doing stuff” and no one is doing any form of project management (making sure you’re building things you can afford that customers will pay for) or product management (making sure they team is building what they said they would), that is, in fact, a recipe for disaster.

And saying “we hired some product people and project managers and we think that will correct our course” is not a bad hypothesis IMO.
VR sort of died out at the same time as “Metaverse” and NFTs/web3 did.

Tech is way out of reach for regular consumers. It’s clunky. UX for games and applications is difficult to use.

The locked in ecosystems with various devices doesn’t help as well (Apple vs Facebook/Occulus).
An interesting anecdote and counterexample (at least to me): Just yesterday I visited a rather large mall to visit a jeweler for a simple ask, and while standing in the store 3 other jewelers were visible. The jeweler I had visited was unwilling to assist. After visiting two others that were noticed while waiting, I got some help. Was very convenient!
Why doesn't the same logic apply to MacOS? Perhaps because that "royalty" has already been paid by users who bought the device?
You know that Elixir is on the low end of performance right, so you take Go/Java/C# that are close to 10x faster.
Tl;dr, basically it’s just real cheap.
Clunky I'll give you. VR hardware and software still has a lot of maturing to do.

"Out of reach" isn't true though, if we're talking about developed nations. An Oculus Quest is similarly priced to a game console.
> It's an expected gift for owning the house.

it's not a gift (implying it's free).

Owning capital has a cost - the cost of capital (aka, the cost of money). At minimum, the cost is the risk free interest rate.

The owner paid a pretty penny (or borrowed, at a higher than risk-free rate) to buy the property. The previous seller did the same, or invested capital in building the property itself. So therefore, "owning a house" is the last chain in a sequence of investments, all of which costs money.
I think it's better explained as "Valve is willing and financially able to keep tinkering with lots of things that will fail over a long time in hopes one of them pans out" than "Valve understands this exact set of assumptions of when VR will take off and is waiting for them to hit the trigger". One thing I do agree on is we don't know whether Valve is really "done" with releasing new VR products to consumers and, to be honest, I don't think Valve knows either at this point.
I know this comment is tongue in cheek, but I still disagree. When you purchase a house, you look at principal, taxes, PMI, and insurance before making a decision. If you're responsible, I guess.

If your little city blows up, and your property value in the market is now 3x what it was, why should you be punished and even forced out if you can't afford the new taxes? New buyers do the same math, and decide they can afford it.. Yes they're paying more, but voluntarily on a likely overpriced asset.

I'm not saying the original owners should just pay less and that's fair, screw the new buyers. I just think the increase should be capped realistically.

This is just a hunch but likely because of the application the two languages were originally designed for. Go is/was a purely backend lang (as I understand it) whereas Swift was built with the UI in mind which must be run on the main thread. So Swift has async/await for making clear boundaries between synchronous (aka UI) operations and asynchronous operations.

I’m am not well educated on the subject though so take that with a grain of salt.

I think what he said still holds true in most of these scenarios. In pretty much all of these it is a fear of "what if". If a decision is made and you move forward, the "what if" goes away. You get an answer and can move on to what's next.
