US military flights are EXTREMELY expensive. Deny the US bases close to the place the US cares and you can DRAMATICALLY drive up military costs instantly. We have an incredibly soft underbelly because we have allies and don't have to worry about a lot of details. If suddenly we start getting pressure at every possible pain point/cost point we'd be fucked.

Prevent US naval supply. Push American hubris and drive the US into thinking they are doing some 'Berlin Airlift 2.0' and gung-ho Americans will burn through our military $$$s. There's thousands of ways to 'death by 1000 cuts' America's military budget. We take for granted our partners support and can't afford our military without it. Make each and every base an island that has to be completely provided for by the home country, in every detail, with military resources. No civilian transport of supplies for anything. Force it all through military ports/military airports, every last drop of diesel, every moving electron, we'll see how for the US military budget goes.
Is it sideloading ("installing" whatever you want) or is it alternative stores? The title says sideloading but the article says alternative stores. Even in the EU, they still require notarization on all apps, so in effect everything still has to go through their approval. Sideloading would include apps that Apple would never allow like apps that violate ToS of other services (youtube vanced, grayjay, stuff of that nature).
No. Kids would need to memorize the private key of their parents id card.
The spacecraft is privately owned, as the company is private, but I don't know that I would say that it is privately funded. NASA paid tens of millions of dollars, not just for delivering a payload (paying for a product/service), but for development of the lunar hopper, Grace, which was an award/grant.
The way I interpret the quote is that war always carries themes of heroism, sacrifice, adventure, etc. Ideas that always make it compelling. Even a film that portrays war in the most brutal unromanticized way still ends up glorifying it simply by engaging with these themes.

What you go for is a "damn I never want to go to war" reaction but what you get is "sucks those guys died, would have been different if i was there though" and that is the "glorification".

I think this is what Truffaut meant that it's a poor medium to convey conflict as the lens must glorify otherwise its not longer a movie, just footage.

Yes. People are incentivized to do very stupid things to grab this years bonus or promotion.

Pretty sure this would help save health insurance companies and Medicare billions if it’s a relatively safe defense against obesity and related mortality. There could be a push to get it to market from Medicare? Anyone want to comment with more knowledge of how it could be funded by the government?

Really comes down to "how sure do you want to be that the person is the right age"? Or the "how hard would it be for a preteen to buy beer?" test.

But that's the difference. For a 17 year old to get into a bar, they need to, themselves, acquire a fake ID. Anyone selling that physical object in your jurisdiction would then be subject to arrest.

On the internet, one smart 17 year old sets up im-old.lol and then every kid everywhere has a one-click age verification bypass and the service is run by an anon on a server outside the jurisdiction.
What? Roping someone into a conversation they didn't intend to have? You don't say.
Because making a lander that’s wider and lower like the Firefly one is simpler and you have to control attitude for the landing anyways. Making it not tip over is easier than making it spherical and unpacking it after landing. But IM apparently chose to do neither of the 2 options…
The US is very sensetive about public nudity, but realistically it would probably be fine.

I dont think nakedness and pictures of sex on 7-11s would suddenly make all the children become meth addicts and fail their schoolwork.

In tribes everybody runs around naked all the time, and the parents are fucking in the hut.
Making good technical decisions isn't something you can learn by observation. You have to make them, fail, learn why you failed, and get better over time. There's an intuition you develop. There's so much tech out there, and it changes so fast. If you're not the type that can stay "with it", you'll perpetually make bad decisions, or worse... decide on what is familiar not what's best.

My point is, there's no way (with a few exceptions of course) someone with 5 years of observational experience has enough real experience to make good decisions that impact the organization over the long term.

The ones who can do/learn this within 5 years are exceptional, and tend to be the ones deeply motivated by technology, ie. it's not just a job to them. They go home and work on tech for funsies... staying up late and getting up early to build, read, learn. That's not your average engineer.
I’m not sure a child would have that option in the US as parents are legally allowed to make those decisions.
He knows his risks.

Same. I wear progressive lenses and I feel like they do fine as far as being able to read the text on my phone or for reading a book. But I tend to take off my glasses anyway to do these things. I'm not entirely sure why this is since I seem to be able to read the text fine with the glasses. My hypothesis is that I like being closer to the text so that it fills up more of my visual field which helps me mentally focus on the text better.

> California’s AB-728 mandates age verification for anyone purchasing skin care products or cosmetics that contain certain chemicals like Vitamin A or alpha hydroxy acids. On the surface, this may seem harmless—who doesn't want to ensure that minors are safe from harmful chemicals?

Why would we want to keep minors safe from "harmful chemicals" but not adults? If skin cream products with Vitamin A or alpha hydroxy acids are harmful, and I'm entirely unconvinced they are (at reasonable concentrations), lets just get rid of them.
Sorry, I didn't expect that an obvious historical fact (which I believe is common knowledge) was being used just as trivia.

> There's no solid evidence Trump is secretly and knowingly working for Putin

Not enough to indict, anyways, but there's a spectrum between insane left-wing conspiracy and a jury conviction. Paul Manafort, Trumps 2016 campaign chairman, was sentenced to 7 years prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy against the United States. His protege Rick Gates did 45 days in a plea bargain deal.

Then there was the time Trump stood up at his campaign podium and directly asked Russian hackers to leak more Clinton emails:

> “Russia, if you’re listening,” Trump said, “I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.”

And during his presidency, he went out of his way to take secret meetings with Putin in Hamburg Germany[1], among other places. We have no idea what was discussed, which seemingly checks the "secret" box at least. As for "knowing," well, he directly asked for their help, but who knows how mentally "there" he is. Comes down to "for" I guess, as I'm sure he'd characterize it as "with"?

If brutality and cruelty didn't appeal to a certain type of person we wouldn't have war, fighting, or any of that stuff in the first place. For the same reason a brutal war movie motivates someone towards it, is the same reason watching UFC videos of guys faces getting rearranged motivates. It balloons up the part of you that believe they failed where you won't. That is why it "glorifies".
Bitcoin's Existential Crisis: Surveillance Is Winning
I’ve been a Bitcoin believer for years. But belief without scrutiny is dogma. Bitcoin’s greatest strength—its radical transparency—has now become its biggest existential threat.

Today, governments, surveillance firms, and regulated chokepoints co-opt Bitcoin without ever needing to ban it.

KYC exchanges, chain surveillance, and permissioned off-ramps are turning Bitcoin into the most easily trackable financial system in history—a dream come true for compliance hawks and authoritarian regimes.

This is not an anti-Bitcoin argument.

It’s a wake-up call: If Bitcoiners don’t demand privacy at the protocol level, Bitcoin won’t be outlawed—it will be assimilated.

The idea that financial privacy will “work itself out later” is dangerously naive.

This piece explores:

-Why Bitcoin’s transparency is its Achilles’ heel (and how chain surveillance firms exploit it).

-The Lightning Network myth—why it doesn’t fix Bitcoin’s privacy problem (and might make it worse).

-Why Bitcoin risks becoming a de facto CBDC if privacy isn’t fixed now.

-The path forward: How Bitcoiners can fight back with privacy tools before it’s too late.

I would love to hear your thoughts.

Is Bitcoin still “freedom money,” or has financial surveillance already won?

> Many members of this movement believe that the “left,” or whatever remains of it now, is engaged in a war on the traditional family, on masculinity, on American capitalism, on Christmas and Christians.

Still doesn't explain why they're so anti-women, anti-coloured people. Most Africans and Latinos also have Christian religions. Or the LGBTQI+ community. They don't take away from those things. They just don't follow them but that's something very different from fighting them.

But there is no war. I'm very progressive left and I don't like the traditional family (I like polyamory), overbearing masculinity, unlimited capitalism nor any religion whatsoever. I don't want those things for myself. That's not to say I want to deny those that do want those things though. None of us want to deny them that. We just want to live our lives as we see fit just like they do. The war is on us, not on them. It never was.
Being a CEO isn’t all that different from being a parent of a child from the POV of impactful decisions.

How many critical “parental decisions” have you made in the past week? Probably very few (if any), but surely you did a lot of reinforcement of prior decisions that had already been made, enforcing rules that were already set, making sure things that were scheduled were completed, etc.

Important jobs don’t always mean constantly making important decisions. Following through and executing on things after they’re decided is the hard part.

> People who take aspirin, drink coffee, and use tobacco, have a much lower incidence of Alzheimer’s disease than people who don’t use those things

This is true though.

Tobacco smokers do have a lower incidence of Alzheimer's compared to non-smokers.

This strange fact is what started the research, as noted in several of the links I shared.

Of course, for smokers, it's offset by higher cancer, higher dementia, all kinds of other problems.

> He didn't call for simple nicotine consumption, he called for tobacco use.

Are you sure? I'm not familiar with Ray Peat but I've just spent a few minutes researching and it seems like the man himself never said this, but rather his followers took quotes out of context - like the one you shared - and ran with it.

As far as I can see, he recommends using patches rather than smoking. If I'm wrong, can you find a quote from him (not someone else cherry picking his writing) specifically reccomending smoking?
For the issue of underage people purchasing products they should not be able to I wonder if this could be handled by requiring sellers to only accept payment by credit card, and to only complete the sale if the shipping address matches the credit card account address?

A child could borrow an adult's card, but then the items would be shipped to that adult's address which could make it hard for the child to get them without that adult noticing, and the purchase should show up on the next credit card statement further increasing the chances the adult will notice if the child is surreptitiously using the adult's credit card.

Maybe even require the listing on the credit card statement to have a prominent annotation stating that there were purchases of age restricted products that month.

This wouldn't stop all such purchases, but it should make it harder and it should make it easier for parents to find out that it is happening.
And then how would we pay for that server capacity?

What sort of agenda did you think the movie had? I suppose there's a slight humanist agenda, since it portrays nearly all the characters pursuing goals that probably aren't considered the ideal religious goals.

If you’re afraid of the monster under your bed, the solution isn’t to clench you teeth—it’s to learn there’s no monster.

Recognising the bias is good. We all have subconscious biases based on fear and disgust. But the solution is to learn more about the thing so it stops triggering a reptilian response.

At least non-Russia aligned European nations have gotten the message over the past 2 weeks.

I've been pessimistic about European nation's ability to coordinate after the initial Macron meeting after the MSC, but boy am I glad I was wrong.

The UK, France, Germany, and other Western+Northern European nations have finally opened their eyes, and are starting to move to integrate European capabilities.

The overtures to Turkiye, the removal of Germany's debt breaks on defense spending, the potential expansion of France+UK's nuclear umbrella, and the injection of interest and potential cash in Eutelsat OneWeb will help enhance European strategic autonomy.

If a liberal rule based order is to exist, it must be protected by all it's members, and it's up to them to help course correct wayward members of that order.

in germany that's actually the law (except for the unlimited time off). you can't hire a contractor on a permanent part-time basis unless that contractor has other clients at the same time.

and the rest of the argument makes no sense. even as a contractor you'll have to pay enough to make up for the benefits they'd otherwise be getting (pro-rated of course. half the work time means half the value of benefits included). the average contracting rate is twice as high as the average salary for a reason.

It can be a result of bad fitting, where the optician doesn't measure your pupillary distance correctly, and doesn't line up the focal point properly with your pupil. Similarly, if you wear your glasses in a manner where it doesn't line up correctly (either because you like the way they look at a different spot on your face, incorrect frame adjustments, etc) you can get the same results.
