>It's not clear if you are arguing that there is some natural right to own and inherit a car that is granted by some authority other than the state and where that authority comes from.

Sure! There is a natural right to own things: I have a thing, I am not giving it to you. I am the authority. If you want to have it, well, you'll have to do something. Because you can't drive my car while I'm driving it.

That was the problem that the communists ultimately couldn't resolve: people end up having things no matter what you do. My, mine are one of the first words humans learn to utter.

"Intellectual property theft" is a misnomer; like "identity theft".

>The value in intellectual property is the right to copy it.

You are almost correct.

It's not the right to copy. It's the exclusivity, enforced by the state. By definition, it's a privilege (not a right), and is created by punishment.

Information has no inherent value once it becomes public knowledge. The state needs to be actively involved for public information to have any value.

So, we're not talking about the right to copy that gets passed along. Nobody is talking about taking that right away.

It's the privilege to command the state to punish someone for making a copy without one's permission that we say shouldn't be passed along to one's heirs.

IANAL but the judge can't both reject the plea deal and sentence him, since rejecting the plea deal invalidates the guilty plea. Rejecting it and remanding him to custody would cause a diplomatic incident.

He's not out of the woods yet by any means, but if they reached a deal his lawyers are confident in, I wouldn't be worried about the judge. They are supposed to deffer to international law if US is a party to the treaties involved (which in the case of extradition, it is).

> You can look at the mass adoption of encrypted messaging and HTTPS adoption statistics (which grew exponentially directly after the leaks to become near standard), and plenty of other metrics to see that.

I don't think increased TLS adoption was caused by Snowden or Wikileaks. It was because of the HTTP/2 protocol and Lets Encrypt taking off.

You can read about that history here: https://opensource.com/business/16/8/lets-encrypt

According to Aas, they decided to start LetsEncrypt in 2012. Before Snowden leaked anything.

Similarly, one could argue that encrypted messaging became popular because of the work done on projects like

I was not asking you, but the point is they are exactly what the post was saying should exist.
That's a good point. I guess I'd be more likely to pick some library because even if the binary is portable, the OS is not. Understanding where to store user preferences for example. (unix usually puts them in ~/.somefolder but on Windows it's somewhere in LocalAppData and on mac it's often in ~/Application Support). Understanding that paths have different parts, ... I'm sure there's more.

I don't know to what level C++20 does all this now with filesystem and threads etc... There's also things like libuv, Abseil, etc. But, maybe I'll check out cosmo next.

Make sure to verify that the problem exists and that people are spending money to fix it.

Yes, standardisation is great. Libraries can do that standardisation. Why do you need standardisation at the kernel level?

That kind of standardisation is eg what we are doing with libc: memcpy has a stable interface, but how it's implemented depends on the underlying hardware; the kernel does not impose an abstraction.

Yeah, doing this with templates is a great idea.
It feels to me like the problem here is the government and large institutions only providing access via a single manufacturers single platform, rather than the existence of the platform. That is to say, if education, government services, health care, emergency services, ID and voting are all only accessible via having an iPhone, the solution to that is to mandate that those things be accessible via other options too, not to mandate opening up the iPhone ecosystem. Aside from the fact that the government needs no new laws to actually make its services available on open platforms, there's also the "single point of failure" problem, and the "government services only available to people with $400+ electronic toys with expensive monthly subscription services" problem. Regulating banking vs phone app store markets might be more of a toss up, but it seems like again the "single point of failure" problem should argue much more strongly in favor of forcing banks to not limit access to iPhones, rather than forcing iPhones to change to be something the iPhone consumers don't actually want.

Single-use scenarios would be my first thought, especially food containers and utensils from food vendors.

Biodegradable plastics are typically degrading in intense environments, such as a compost pile. Not unlike wood. Wood is strong and lasts a long time if kept dry. If you introduce the environment where fungi, microbes, and insects are more comfortable, the wood starts to deteriorate.

I don’t know quite how it’d work with this kind of plastic, but maybe someone will come up with an indicator or rule of thumb that helps. Like how you don’t eat food out of a dented tin can.

This is why proper driver's licensing & training is so important - in my city & country (Wellington, New Zealand) roundabouts (as well call them) are so common that in some tight intersections they are nothing more than a circle painted on the ground.

This is misinformation. Their policy was never to publish anything they could not verify, and the "asset for Russian intelligence" was only ever a DNC and US intelligence smear to discredit Wikileaks.
You could have used that line about extrapolating our future at any point in history, and it would have been wrong each time. So I don't think it will be right now.
Wikileaks information was trustworthy and accurate. It may still be that the information prior to their canary expiring is okay, but anything released after can't be trusted.

I'd assume that once the canary died whichever actors compromised them scrubbed it.

It's been over a decade now, but I do have a machine somewhere with evidence.

Some nerd bigger than me here certainly has evidence available in a dropbox or somewhere accessible. I don't.

What is the motivation behind this? Try to reduce (compiled) binary size? Naively, I am surprised that the C++ STL from Clang isn't OK to use, including the license. Or is this a clean room impl thing?

So you're saying Chinese law applies to you when you're a US citizen in the US?

Have you ever said anything disparaging about the CCP or its leadership in an online forum? If so: congratulations! You've committed a crime directly equivalent to what Assange did.

You've just argued yourself into saying that it is proper, good, and right for China to extradite you. If not you personally, then people you know who did say negative things about the CCP. Or took Muhammad's name in vain. Or, or, or...

The examples you cite do not strike me as the best way, so I will continue to worry about this.

That isn't really true. There is no concrete threat to Australia for the foreseeable decades, and the US cannot afford to lose influence in the Pacific, so the US will be compelled to act either way much before a threat ever comes to Australia.

When you compare the relationship that Australia has to the US compared to non-EU, non-NATO US allies in Europe and Asia, it's plain to see that Australia is far, far more deferential to the US than it has to be, as nations much more vulnerable and much less valuable tolerate far less.
> Because on Windows, the CLI is used to circumvent the highly smelly patterns

And on Linux you use CLI to investigate why the hell a modern distro (Rocky 9) hangs up if you run anything more complex than a ping. Or just hangs up if you don't touch it at all, just a bit later.

ANd it requires 9 hard resets (thankfully there WAS an option to do them, it wasn't some desktop class machine an ocean away) and digging and digging what is exactly happening, why it happens and what magik incantations needs to be CLI'ed on this exact version of the distro, because other versions are reporting what everything is correct... yet the machine still hangs.

Source: just spent 4 hours in CLI dickery for that great, stable and unkillable operating system.

But of course, if MS OS - it's 'CLI dickery' but if Linux - then the only time you touch CLI is to 'dnf install magic'

And yes, the real difference is what for the most part you don't need 'CLI dickery' on Windows, so when someone argues for the Linux-like OSes as an a better alternative to Windows it doesn't sounds good.

It's not to lionize Assange, but these are almost crimes against humanity, they stole peoples tax dollars and then built a surveillance state used against the citizens. When that was revealed they then used the same tools to destroy a single human being for the purposes of creating a decade long chilling effect for anyone who might consider doing the same.

There shouldn't be any diffuse responsibility for participating in this farce at any level. When the information was released the public never clamored for it to be investigated and for people to be hunted down and jailed for releasing it. It was entirely a captured administrative state claiming for itself rights it demonstrably never had, such as claiming a foreign national committed treason, or that he could be viewed as an "enemy combatant."

To have gone along with this willingly deserves the same scrutiny we gave German officers at the end of WWII.

There was no control group, that verbiage came from Business Insider, but not the research. Giving $50/month to one group that they weren't getting before isn't a control, at all.

From the executive summary of the research:

"All payment groups showed significant improvements in housing outcomes, including a remarkable increase in home rent and ownership, and decrease in nights spent unsheltered."

The actual quantitative data (1, appendix table 4) shows that there were massive leaps in the number of people housed. Less than 10% of people were renting or owning at the start of the study, and more than 40% at the end.

It didn't track any group that didn't receive payment so it doesn't tell us what the difference was, and it also doesn't give us much history as to how long they had been homeless. So that leaves open the question of how many of these people would have pulled themselves out of homelessness absent this intervention.

It definitely needs more rigorous study, but these results certainly point towards something promising, which is supported by other programs.

> Genuine question: are the Houthis sufficiently organized to make a credible statement like this?

I imagine nowadays you can check "list all ships that have itineraries leaving [an Israeli port] to [anywhere]" online, and knowing a ship identifier track its reported position and progress on a handy little map until it's in range for scouting and attack. (Unless the crew does some transponder malarkey.)

So I'd expect any "they didn't hit who they said they'd hit" controversy will involve disagreements over the "true" ownership or itinerary.
