Yes assimilation works if the groups are immigrating into the country, their number is rather limited and they are willing to assimilate.

However If France somehow managed to hold onto to Algeria and (eventually) granted the Muslim majority full civil (which is not far fetched, as far as we can tell only a tiny fraction of Algerians actively supported supported FLN until both sides started engaging in extreme violence; of course by de Gaulle’s time it was far too late..) what would have happened?

Would the vast majority of the Muslim Algerian population and their descendants embraced liberal secularism or would they have supported parties which represented their local interests? Why do you think that most of them would have suddenly turned into “French people” for no reason?

"Game changer" maybe.

But what you'll probably find is that people that are skilled communicators are currently getting a decent productivity boost from LLMs, and I suspect that the difference between many that are bullish vs bearish is quite likely coming down to ability to structure and communicate thoughts effectively.

Personally, I've found AI to be a large productivity boost - especially once I've put certain patterns and structure into code. It's then like hitting the N2O button on the keyboard.

Sure, there are people making toy apps using LLMs that are going to quickly become a unmaintainable mess, but don't be too quick to assume that LLMs aren't already making an impact within production systems. I know from experience that they are.

You don't get it. The law is completely different for people and corporations. A corporation has the resources to figure out how exactly the law applies to them and defend that at trial. An individual does not.

It is plainly insulting to say that "adding a report button" is enough, obviously that is false. And investigating how to comply with this law is time consuming and comes with immense risk if done improperly. The fact that this law is new, means that nobody knows how exactly it has to be interpreted and that very well you might get it completely wrong. If a website has existed for 20 years with significant traffic it is almost certain that it has complied with the law, what absolutely is not certain is how complying with the law has to be done in the future.

I do not get why you have the need to defend this. "Just do X", is obviously not how this law is written, it covers a broad range of services in different ways and has different requirements for these categories. You absolutely need legal advice to figure out what to do, especially if it is you who is in trouble if you get it wrong.

If people who want DST can just switch operating hours during summer instead of imposing DST on everyone else, then people who want year-round winter time can just switch operating hours during summer instead of imposing year-round winter time on everyone else.

It's a bogus argument either way.

Now I am in the blessed position of working from home again, I can choose when I get up. What I choose is this:

- for 26 weeks of the year (broadly from spring equinox to autumn equinox) I get up at 7am (which would be 6am in the absence of DST)

- for 6 weeks of the year (broadly centred on the winter solstice) I get up at 7:45am

- it takes 10 weeks for me to switch from getting up at 7am to getting up at 7:45am: I get up 2 minutes later every day for 5 weeks, and 1 minute later every day for another 5 weeks (and the clocks go back during this)

- it takes me 10 weeks to switch the other way: I get up 1 minute early every day for 5 weeks, then 2 minutes earlier every day for another 5 weeks

I do this to maximise the amount of daylight I get during the winter, without having to get up in the dark.

The point of me telling you all this is: the hard part is not getting up at a different time every day for 10 weeks. The hard part is synchronising with people who are essentially living in a different time zone.

This is why I don't do this when I work in an office, even just one day a week: I can change when I get up by a minute or two every day, but the trains won't change when they run by the same amount. That 9am meeting I need to be in the office for is still going to be at 9am, and the guy who controls when it starts won't agree to move it.

When I work in an office, I can't choose my timezone. Neither can you. Neither can anyone else.

(The dates I target aren't really the equinoxes/solstices. What I actually care about is the latest sunrise, which is a week and a half after the winter solstice, and shift everything accordingly.)
But sometimes the social environment adapts and now you have to drive that amount because it got factored in and things are now built further away, so whether you want to go far is not up to you. See long commutes becoming the norm. Now, arguably long commutes lead to better job allocations and more efficient land use as people can live in one place and work in any of the workplaces within a large radius. So it's a bit more complicated than "want", but ultimately more value seems to be produced.

Nation: a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language

The French culture will die if no one protects it. Without limits to cultural admixture, 'Frenchness' will be diluted into a sea of other cultures. It is a fundamental mistake to assume assimilation.

This is not a controversial take, even amongst liberals. In Canada for example, the disappearing cultures of First Nations (Indigenous Canadians) is protected with public funds through various programs. Yet for some reason, it's a bad thing to protect European culture?

Okay, with "any bigger US company" I thought mostly about Facebook and similar companies, of which many does continuously break GDPR rules even after many decisions and fines (simply because their business model is incompatible with privacy / data protection).

> You're assuming the code doesn't have to be released as long as there exists something using it that isn't discontinued, but it can be the other way. As soon as you discontinue something, everything in it has to be released.

No, I'm interpreting this the way you're suggesting. And I'm saying it's insane. If company A sells a component to company B, and uses it in their product, and company B stops supporting it or goes out of business, now it needs to be open sourced? Every vendor has customers that have gone out of business or discontinued a product, so this is effectively a ban of all B2B closed source hardware or software components.

> If the law requires it to be released, you release it or you're in violation of the law.

So, to comply with your proposed law, companies can no longer sign NDAs with their vendors. They can no longer license patented hardware or software. They can no longer create products which have components with source restricted by trade law or product regulatory law. They can no longer license any closed-source hardware or software from any vendor. Do you realize this is a ban on approximately all commercially available computers, and a ban on many types of radio devices, including cellphones?

That's a lot more reasonable argument, although it is unprecedented and unfounded. Copyright doesn't require any other authors of other works to release any foundational sources, and it never has. Authors don't have to release drafts or outlines of their books. Musicians don't have to release the constituent tracks of their final recordings. Artists and photographers don't have to release their PSD files. Patent protection works this way, but copyright never has.

All of the original case, and Kennedy's sweet mystery opinion in Casey, and then the transparently political overturning emphasize how political courts can be.

I read some of the argument transcripts and usually it is a bunch of lawyers trying to sort out what the law should be given it works this way in this case and that way in that case and this one goes up the middle or the circuits disagree. But sometimes it is much more nakedly political.
Do those noises add anything though? I feel like if my life had been entirely devoid of "vroom vroom" sounds I wouldn't have missed anything important.

Noise pollution from dogs and people having a party outside is an acceptable side effect of a party - but it's not an aspect of a party that I find important. If it was trivial to make sounds from my house end at my property line I'd be happy to do so.

The middle income worker today cannot afford that.

The purpose of an exhaust is not to disturb.

I think you’re straw manning my argument, where I conceded that absolutely some people go too far and are obnoxious. The civic at 2am example is a great one, street racing late at night is another, and I agree with you that’s unnecessary.

My argument was simply that I have yet to see an implementation in proposal that stops the above, without also making the factory exhaust that’s barely above road noise level on your average sports car illegal. Where do you draw the line? How do you get people to agree on where the line is? Do you make exceptions for things like performance vehicles/supercars? You’re not going to find consensus among the population besides for most of us it’s a non-issue that nobody even thinks about.

It seems like a reasonable compromise for most people’s security needs.

Tesla is the worst - their DRLs are blinding if you're off to the side of them in a sedan like I drive. Apparently, they're supposed to be USER aimed / aligned AFTER delivery, but pretty sure only 5% of drivers have even the faintest of clues about any setting in their car other than "pair phone".

I'm not saying no other cars have issues, including the obviously misaimed 70s light-in-a-box bulbs. And don't get me started on the number of cars with ZERO lights, or only DRLs (no tail lights) at night here in the Bay Area (CA).

I am constantly struggling to avoid glare at night from crazy lights. If I could wave my hand and fix one brand, without question it would be Teslas - they're systematically bad. All others seem like one-offs (bad maintenance, post-accident/replacement-misaligned, etc).

Ah yes, the good old "only an issue for people who are holding it wrong" argument.

The thing about good design is that it makes it impossible to "hold it wrong".
This is extremely short sighted. I’ve owned several cars that I have modified or have factory exhausts that are audible, and it’s always been purely because I enjoy the sound, but I’ve never made them obnoxious or deafening.

Car guys don’t do things to annoy other people, they do it because it brings them happiness and joy, just like anyone’s hobby does for them. Thinking that everything in the world that disturbs you was done in malice is a pretty dismal worldview.

You made a case for Passkeys having a flawed UX, but not one for them being security theater. Words mean things; "security theater" is a term of art for things people do for enhanced security that add no security, and Passkeys are not that.

Downthread, you claim that Passkeys (if stored in a password manager) are no more secure than a random password stored in that password manager. That seems obviously to be false; Passkeys are phishing-resistant, and stored passwords are not. So that might be where your misconception comes from.
You have zero context other than what they said. What about withholding judgement about things you know nothing about before saying people are bad? The full story is likely much more complex.
