The original meaning of the Second Amendment was the federal government couldn't take away your right to own a gun – but whether state or local governments could was outside of the scope of the federal constitution, it was a matter for state constitutions and state laws to determine. At the time it was passed, state and local laws imposing limits on gun ownership were widespread (often on grounds of race or property ownership) – and the Second Amendment was not seen as contradicting those laws in any way.

Then they passed the 14th Amendment. And the original intention behind the 14th Amendment, was nothing to do with guns at all – it was to protect the rights of the recently freed slaves – nobody was even thinking about guns at the time they voted for it. And then, decades later, the Supreme Court started to interpret the 14th Amendment as applying parts of the Bill of Rights to the states. They used the 14th to apply the 1st to the states in the 1925 case of Gitlow v. New York. And then in the 2010 case of McDonald v. Chicago they did that to the 2nd as well. It was hard to argue not to do it with the 2nd when they'd already done it with most of the others.

I think having a plain byte stream is actually better, in a worse is better sort of scenario.

A plain byte stream can be easily aligned to work with any future or past encoding fashion. Consider the situation if them that designed unix had not been so aggressively minimal. We would probably be complaining how streams had to be ASN1 encoded and how much a pain it is to define the schema for what should be a simple ad-hoc data transfer.

As it stands, you can put whatever object format you want on top of the stream. I think it is the same with the files. I am sort of pleased we are not stuck with some obsolete no longer relevant, screwball structured format from the 70's that all our file have to conform to. instead our file are a simple range of bytes and we can impose whatever structure on them that we want.

Part of the challenges of early TNG is that it tries to make the federation perfect. The writing suffers because of it because there appear to be no true internal conflicts. It’s not until Roddenberry takes a back seat in the creative process that the writing starts to get really good. Though that might also in part be the departure of Maurice Hurley as show runner.

The way you're talking about the second amendment I expect that you don't want the same interpretation applied to the first amendment the Fourth amendment or the 5th amendment. Because if that was the case then it simply the federal government is the ones that cannot compel you to be a witness against yourself or the federal government cannot deprive you of your security of property or papers and the federal government is the one that cannot limit your freedom of speech but the state can do all of those things at will without regard to any federal powers. If that's your official position please state that clearly because the supreme Court has said that the second amendment is not a second class freedom compared to the others. And it was never the intention for it to be by the founders.

They do. Lithium ion has a 3.7V nominal voltage compared to the 1.5V of alkaline and 1.2V of NiMH, and so liions in the AA format are called 14500s (14mm diameter 50mm length) and 11500s in AAA format. There's also liion AAs with voltage regulators to provide 1.5V that often have a USB micro B or C port on them
I had the Jelly 2 (Android 11). The Kickstarter promised an Android 12 update. Never happend. In fact, it never got any update. (On the official webforum there was talk about one update. You had to download it from a shady download site. There where all sorts of warnings. I don't remember if I tried and it failed or I never tried to update it. Still no good look. They deliver on the hardware but it is fire and forget on the software site.)

The other day I was thinking... "We should do every thing we can to ensure SoundTransit Light Rail (in the Seattle area) should fail. That way we could replace it with something that actually worked."

This kind of thinking may be accurate, but it introduces near-intolerable levels of uncertainty for the future. Or maybe I should just give up on using mass transit to get to work in the Seattle area. Similarly, maybe I should give up thinking there's anything that will prevent the rentier class from extracting value from the commons by way of broken technology.

Or maybe I'm just having a bad day.

It seems like you’re being downvoted and disagreed with but I was under the impression the process you are talking about was known as incorporation and was rather widely understood constitutional law.

I really hope this never happens.

It was one of the key decisions that ruined Twitter as it motivated people towards engagement above all else. Which is why even in sub-communities like startups or tech everyone is posting clickbait and controversial takes.

One of the smartest things Threads has done that is unique is that it rewards users who reply and engage with the community versus posting popular content. It means all of the Instagram influencers have not been able to get much traction.
And just under 10% of UK land, 20k square km, is reserved and optimized for grouse hunting, far more than every other sport combined.
Having worked in government, I can assure you (most) democratically elected leaders can do math. And often hire people who are much better at math than they are. What you may be observing is the assumption the electorate isn't paying attention and can't do math. And for the most part it seems they aren't and they can't.
The UX is not good enough yet. We would have to 1) show that it is reserved to people going on the link and 2) offer good/enough ways to be notified once the link becomes online and 3) need to know the likelihood of the link to actually work in the future based on prior commitment.

> The way you're talking about the second amendment I expect that you don't want the same interpretation applied to the first amendment the Fourth amendment or the 5th amendment.

No, I'm saying that a consistent originalist interpretation would be that the Bill of Rights should not be applied to the States, absent a constitutional amendment clearly stating that, and understood as stating that at the time it was adopted. The 14th Amendment was adopted in 1868, it wasn't interpreted as applying the 1st to the states until 1925 – over 50 years later.

If people wanted states to be bound by the 1st Amendment – or the 2nd or the 4th or the 5th – they should have passed a constitutional amendment explicitly saying so, not relied on SCOTUS to de facto amend it by interpreting the 14th as saying something that few thought it meant at the time it was adopted.
Don't think so.

I can tell you’ve either never used floppies, or used them so little that your opinion was formed more by luck than experience.

Floppies are ridiculously unreliable. They were bad, even when they were brand new in a new drive. Failure rates of one in thirty or so wasn’t unusual. Installing large software packages was a gamble because disc 27 of 33 might have a bad sector and ruin your day.

Floppies written with one drive often wouldn’t work in another.

The drives themselves would often collect dust depending on how the fans inside the PC case were set up.

The drive head would often wear out the floppies, especially if they were used daily (e.g.: boot discs).

Keeping them in a hot car in summer could destroy them.

I learned about forward error correction (FEC) in desperation when I was in my early teens because it was the only robust way to retain data on floppies for any length of time. There were a whole bunch of compression formats that could split your data so that any n-of-m floppies could be used to recover your data in case a few failed.

Yes, but what I'm saying is the "incorporation" was invented by the Supreme Court, almost out of thin air. A consistent originalist would reject the doctrine entirely.

Okay, they read it out of the intentionally vague language of the 14th Amendment. But nobody who voted for the 14th thought that it meant that.

Everyone who voted for the 14th actually knew what it meant at the time – it was a narrow measure to stop Democrats from taking away the civil rights of newly freed slaves. It was written in a vague and ambiguous way as a political fudge to make it easier for legislators to vote for it, given many of their (racist/pro-confederate) constituents opposed it. It was not written with the intention that it would be read as carte blanche imposing the near whole of the Bill of Rights on the states, which is essentially what incorporation amounts to.

p.s. re: > CS:GO, which was only retired in 2023

I thought CS:GO was rebranded to CS2. Am I mistaken? (very probably, yes, pretty please enlighten me!)
I run Lineage on a Pixel 3a xl (no google), and a OnePlus 5 (mind the gapps).

I have found both to be completely stable.

My first Cyanogen phone was an HTC Incredible, and I don't remember any stability problems.
I absolutely loathed a lot of Microsoft products for this simple thing. VSTS/VSO/Dev Ops/whateverNameTheyHaveNow, Sharepoint, etc were absolutely atrocious at this. Here is a deep link that’s 700 character long, with a couple of dozen base64 query strings and nonsensical path. “What’s the problem? Can you use a url shortening service? URLs are long nothing we can do about that” fuck me.

Back in 2014, my team had an internal tool to view the state of resources in our system. All resources and their states were stored in a SQL database. Yet, the web app they developed was a SPA (before the invention of routers and stuff) and it never updated its url or supported deep linking. Whenever you wanted to send someone an email or an IM about an issue with a specific resource, you had to tell them “go to X tool, search for Y, click on Z -> W -> M -> O -> K, then you’ll see the issue there”. I found that so fucking infuriating. Why can’t I just use an https://X.com/Y/Z/W/M/O/K link to share that deeply nested state? When I brought it up multiple times i was always told “it’s not a priority and it’s not that big of a deal”

One time we were given 2 weeks to work on whatever we thought needed fixing. I decided to build an alternative that supported deep linking. But I also decided that all deep links should accept an `/api/` prefix that just returned the content in JSON format. It was just a hit with everyone in the team/company that the usage of X tool almost diminished over night even though my tool was much more rudimentary and didn’t have all the features that tool had. Nonetheless, turns out most people just wanted an easy way to share links rather than a “really powerful SPA that lets you dig down and investigate things”.

A month later the team that worked on that tool X announced that they now support deep links in a huge email to the whole company. Yet they thought the simple feature of returning JSON data on `/api/` prefix is irrelevant. 5 years after, my tool’s UI became obsolete but the actual service was promoted to a “vital internal service” because so many other teams built automation around the `/api/` prefix URLs and that team had to take that code and maintain it.
Honestly, I don't care about feature upgrades in a device like this, which, invariably, degrade experience, rather than improve it.

I would much rather the industry moved to focus on security upgrades.

Keep the device reasonably updated while it's on sale (either current or previous feature version max), then promise extended support for N years, where any critical security issues are patched, and that's all.

I especially don't need the latest OS features, when 95% of the value is from apps that can be upgraded independently from the OS.
Believe I heard it in the CNN feed, I don't have a link.
>classified, sensitive, or otherwise protected information

Do you think this footage falls under any of these categories?

What is to stop the agency from just saying every request is "sensitive"?

Without any accountability, what is the point of the law in the first place?

This behavior does not seem to be in the spirit of the FOIA act itself. This agency is _extremely_ well funded, they can afford to accommodate this request.
It's not very common in the modern era, though I would add in RFK Sr., who was assassinated while running for president several decades ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Robert_F._Ken...
Someone reached out to the FOIA liaison asking how an individual or organization might help, and got the reply that it's outside their scope, and to contact the NSA directly. Writing a paper letter to the NSA and cc'ing congresspeople might be good.
No, what I said is not nonsense at all. I was arguing that, on originalist grounds, incorporation ought to be rejected, which would mean no incorporation for the 2nd – but not for the 1st either. Whereas I'm not sure what you are even trying to say.
Easy, we installed them between their sites, before they were lit up.

Old (er) people spend a lot of money. Old(er) people want larger screens and bigger cars because they're easier to overcome physical issues (sight and dexterity).

This is my theory.
The numbers provided arent estimates, they are the actual data on total income tax collected and who paid it.

If money isnt collected because of tax shelters, then it isnt represented. This is why looking at actual collection data is more useful than just looking at tax brackets.

It's a bit too small, but I like that it's a thing. However, for my own use, I want something in-between. A 4" phone would be ideal.

I'm still confused how there aren't any phones for people who still use a computer as their primary means of accessing the internet. Even for this one, the media review section makes it look like it's "to distract oneself from social media". As if a phone's primary purpose isn't to be a communication device for when you aren't near your computer.
