> I'm clearly violating the author's copyrights, and I accept that.

I'm looking at combining several old message boards into something useful, and I'd like to be proactive regarding copyright. My approach so far:

- I'm assuming that everyone owns their own post/comment.

- I'm assuming that submitting content meant they intended to grant rights to community members.

- I'm assuming that work done in support of the original community would be welcomed by members.

- And I'm assuming this all changes if I want money.

So I'm preserving attributions when I can, but treat content like it's CC or similar as long as I'm operating within the original authors area of concern. Anything that actually gets released will be as open as possible... and probably start with telling you how to download files. Entirely walling off my code makes sense but then it is no longer a fun little project, it is a framework.
Yeah, my problem with all that is its 8hours long, showing just parts of it is not enough really. I'd like to hear from ones who really do it in its entirety. What they struggled with, aht aas good, what wss awful. Etc.

Under this framework, what if you simply bribed people to vote for your candidate of choice: e.g. Here's 20 euro, vote for this guy.

You could still say "The people who voted for this guy have agency and decided for themselves."

But this doesn't really pass a smell test for what we want democracy to look like.

Similarly, if you live in a country and you see billions of dollars poured into your election advertisements from USA, Russia, China, etc, you'd be like "wtf are we even sovereign?"

> They do have a basis, as the candidate had flyers printed out, paid ads on social media as well as paid ads that were not marked as political ads, which is against the law, and so is not reporting campaign spending.

Did he pay for them? And we all know polls miss things they don’t know about or want to find. As long as the ballots were counted accurately the problem was not the campaign he was running, but the ineptitude of the pollsters.

As discussed at length elsewhere in this thread this whole thing opens up so many new ways to abuse the system Romania simply will not be able to have an election anyone believes in again for a generation.
As you well know since you are Romanian there are not many cases of people tried and in jail in Romania for corruption.

Legitimacy is fundamentally about trust. Trust that the elections were fair, even if you don't like the outcome.

If your candidate won, your opinion on the legitimacy doesn't matter much. If your candidate lost, your opinion matters more. If you think that the elections were legitimate, your opinion doesn't matter much. If you think they were not legitimate, your opinion matters more.

It doesn't really matter if the elections were fair. If the losers don't trust the system, the elections were not legitimate.

A society can handle a small number of people who question its legitimacy. Maybe 5%, maybe 10%, maybe even 20%, depending on the overall level of trust. If too many people don't trust the system, the society doesn't really work anymore. Laws, constitutions, and other institutions are only as strong as people's faith in them.

By my cursory Google search, the successful appeal rate for claims denials is somewhere between 30 and 60 percent.

With the caveat that this isn't a representative sample (people appealing likely have the denials most likely to be overturned), 30% at the low end still feels too high.

This rate is even higher for prior authorization denials. Those get overturned on appeal more than half the time.

Probably safe to assume that if your denial rate is 2x competitors, those numbers would be even worse.
I completely agree with you. I actually have this privilege and I still would be absolutely grinding until I got any job.

I also think in terms of retirement - it's not just savings being depleted, but it's active months I'm not adding to my savings. And I'm certainly not living off of 50% of what I make post-tax, so the burn rate becomes exceptionally high.
I mention this elsewhere but there is a hidden other incentive that is less obvious: which poor bastards to offload the remaining 15% from. There is no guarantees that is done evenly, and there is high moral hazard to do it strategically.

He was in Afghanistan when they invaded. Even the Taliban admitted he was in the country. He fled to Pakistan later. And the US did in fact capture him using military force inside Pakistan.

I really don't understand how this question can come up, honestly. This is 1 + 1 = 2 stuff.
Yes, I do.

By your argument if a country (e.g. China?) outlaws competing political parties then the rubber-stamp single-party elections are “free and fair” because they are in accordance with law. In general the whole point of a “free and fair” election is that the government can’t just change the law and rules to get the result it wants. There is an independent notion of “free and fair” election that is rightly independent of country specific law.
While complying with our treaties as a nation is good and proper, those treaties remain subordinate to the Constitution. To the best of my knowledge, there is no verbiage in there that permits Congress to authorize a law for the mass collection of information, and the centralization thereof that is not directly pursuant to any of its enumerated powers.

This doesn't even touch the government, as a whole's, less than stellar record as it comes to protecting PII from improper disclosure. CTA, as written and implemented, creates a wide array of real and potential harms. It's bad law, as it stands.

>Not having a job is a pants-on-fire emergency, and I would be interviewing 24/7 until I corrected it, even if the hiring market meant that was hopeless. I'd be a nervous wreck until I found a job, any job.

Same, although I'm not sure it's always a privilege thing, but also one's background. I've done pretty well for myself these last few years, and financially speaking it would not be the end of the world if I lost my job tomorrow. But I come from a working class family, and grew up with nothing.

I was raised and surrounded by family members who work a lot harder than I do for a lot less pay. They sacrificed a lot for me to go to school and get a good job, so if I were to lose it, the last thing I'd want to do is just chill for 2yrs even if I could afford to.
Question from a casual AI user, if you have a minute. It seems to me that I could get much more productive by making my own personal AI "system". For example, write a simple pipeline where Claude would scrutinize OpenAI's answers and vice versa.

They tend to turn into those inflated pillows (and perhaps even rupture?) when connected to power all the time. You could disassemble the phone, remove the battery, and reassemble and use it without it (if it boots and is stable).
For the ballot returns, there is a whole law that details how that process works, what documents are to be sent to the court, who and how and when can contest the results, what happens if the results are annulled and so on. The court can't make up its own rules, there is a whole legislative cadre that specifies their powers, responsibilities, and their interaction with other institutions.

They trampled over all of these with this new decision: they didn't observe any time limits (they gave this decision out of the blue, while the voting for the second round had already started; could they have decided this same annulment two months from now? Nothing in this decision or motivation says they couldn't). They met to decide on this matter with no request from everyone, they brought this matter before themselves by their own power, which no court has the power to. They had no legal framework to demand this from any other institution.

Worse of all, they have specified no limits to this broad power they have found they have, nor any legal standards for what type of allegations are grave enough to objectively determine this annulment. What if next time a candidate that won 1% of the vote had a suspicious campaign, will that lead to annulment? What is the standard of evidence to be evaluated for this decision? The documents they based this decision on wouldn't even have constituted admissible evidence in a court of law, they are hearsay by institutions which aren't even making them under pain of perjury.

And related to that article of the Constitution, there is no reason to interpret it as a broad, decisional power. It is clearly meant to guide law makers to create specific laws for determining the CCR's specific role in the electoral process. There are many similar articles in the constitution about other institutions that don't grant them any direct powers in this way. For example, article 80, title 2 says:

> (2) The President of Romania shall guard the observance of the Constitution and the proper functioning of the public authorities. To this effect, he shall act as a mediator between the Powers in the State, as well as between the State and society.

If the President took the same approach as the court, it stands to reason that he could go into any public authority in Romania and block their decisions based on finding that they are not properly observing the Constitution, right?

Depending on where you are, Organic Maps can have far far finer detail, especially when it comes to walking paths. I used this a couple times in Japan and Korea to find my way through densely packed shrine complexes, or over less-traveled hiking paths in the mountains.
Theoretically, I think that should work. It (At least it used to be) specified that //site/some/path should assume the uri protocol of the current context. So if it was a link on an http page, it should assume http, same with ftp and https etc. It should work sorta like how a leading slash assumes the current site context.

This was back before the Web became the one true way and is the reason it uses 2 slashes, to distinguish protocol local from site local.
> Just imagine how many poorly-written shell scripts will break when we suddenly allow dollars, quotes, backticks and the likes in username. Heck, even allowing spaces sound like horror to me.

If we're admitting they're poorly-written, why can't we admit that they're already broken regardless of whether that brokenness is currently being triggered? Allowing symbols or spaces didn't break anything, it was broken from day one just no one noticed.

Why is the answer always "go out of your way to not upset the broken garbage that's been around forever" rather than "throw Zalgo at it and fix what breaks so it's no longer broken and won't be broken in the future"?

All previous attempts to pass laws banning the app failed.

Then, during the war in Gaza, American politicians started complaining that TikTok users were posting too much pro-Palestinian content,[0] and there was suddenly majority support in the US Congress for banning the app.

Here's what Mitt Romney said about the reason why Congress suddenly supported a ban:

> Some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok or other entities of that nature. If you look at the postings on TikTok and the number of mentions of Palestinians, relative to other social media sites — it's overwhelmingly so among TikTok broadcasts.

Ironically, a big reason why TikTok has more pro-Palestinian content than Facebook is because Facebook suppresses circulation of pro-Palestinian posts. TikTok, as a non-American platform, is less heavily politically censored on this topic.

There are plenty of vegetarian ketogenic diets. A ketogenic diet is one that contains very few, or no carbohydrates to maintain the ketosis - just high in fats and medium in proteins. Meat is a convenient form of food with those properties, so often people maintaining such a diet eat a lot of meat.

I agree. ChargePoint has the contactless payment setup, but you need to have the Application setup with your account on it. After that it works through the Apple Wallet app.
I think the answer is that there needs to be, like gas stations, substantial retail/dining side-quest stuff set up to get revenue. If you don't have working chargers, people won't buy your hamburgers and pop. Or whatever.

Likely though this market is going to need some regulation/standardization.

In the end though, the demand is sporadic. Supercharger use is only for a minority of use cases (road trips) for a small segment of EV users. I've had my Polestar2 for 3 months and have yet to use one. It will never carry the same revenue possibilities as gas stations, esp as battery sizes go up.
>Not having a job is a pants-on-fire emergency, and I would be interviewing 24/7 until I corrected it,

This would have the absolutely opposite effect of that, I was in this mood and it made getting a job impossible because I'd appear too stressed and too depressed on every single interview. Sometimes relaxing and letting it be is just better and a lot more productive.

Right, so the players want to change the rules of the game because they lost, when the left wing problem is the classic: they’re splitters.

Had the left not been split so many different ways then they wouldn’t be in this position. And they cannot say they didn’t understand the process in advance.

It mostly just comes down to having kids, right? I am certain that if I were single and happy staying that way, I would be living in a van in Moab and doing the bare minimum amount of freelancing to keep myself fed.
The people I know who do this are either exceptionally talented that employment will never be an issue for them in their lifetime and/or (it's usually and), they can burn through $100k no problem, any day of the week.

Nobody I know is leaving a $70k a year job to take a sabbatical. They're usually leaving a $400k+ per year job and there'll be another similar job waiting for them when they're ready to jump back in.

Kids are another huge factor that changes this. I don't think I've known anyone who's done something like this with kids in the picture.
Haha, yeah guys you are right, sadly not much I can do about it, esp. after the fact:) There are a ton of free previews so one can figure out if its for them or not.

You account for the time value of money, but not for the time value of time.

Humans have been nomads for most of our existence. I think if the traveling group had been larger so that there were consistent friendships of various ages that it might have gone differently.

If you want to discourage air travel, tax the fuel appropriately. It’s not a hard concept. For the people that are traveling, i don’t see why it’s a problem that their experience is nice.
