> The US can try to renegotiate or not pay, but that's an overt signal to investors that the US is not reliable and will result in the 10-year Treasury bond rate soaring

The 10 year rate is not a force of nature. It is set at auction by investors who believe US t-bonds are a safer resting place than those of the economies that were destroyed by the nukes.
I don't doubt you are incorrect, but that's a response for a different conversation altogether.
Have WiFi mesh networks ever been proven to work at scale? The few experiments that I've seen seemed to be slow and unreliable. And in order to be of any real value, at least one of those mesh network nodes needs a connection to the real Internet.

Your attacking me on false grounds as if doing so defends what Mozilla did is the only unbecoming thing I can see here.

I'm a founder of Mozilla (not latecomer or looter). The McKinseyites now running it into the ground deserve criticism from me as well as others who see what is going on. If you don't want to see it, keep using Firefox. Their terms and privacy policy changes still stink, they are integrating Anonym, and they're turning things on by default that we at Brave do not.

That would not be a problem regarding the averaging I referred to, although it could well pose a problem for measurement depending on how it interacted with the selected metrics.

Note that the averaging I refer to is not regarding all possible values of some metric, but rather any discrepancy in the distribution of metrics which we expected to follow the same distribution between the sample and the control.

I think maybe there's a misunderstanding? It seems that we both agree that a variety of additional variable should be logged. I was not suggesting to omit them, but rather to use discrepancies in them to detect fundamental issues with the data or study design. I would also expect larger studies to do the same where possible.

At 94 data points it is entirely possible that there would be outliers that would have averaged out for a larger N but did not. In such a scenario the presence of such outliers should then be taken to indicate a problem with the data (ie the more discrepancies you observe, the less you should trust the data).
You mean inatalling from local files? This isn't ever going away, we have to test what we develop somehow
Belgian here. Now, it's been decades, but we did get a mention of our colonial past, with a cartoon of Leopold II as a snake constricting some African person. I don't think we got told what kind of atrocities we committed (and Belgian colonialism was really, really bad), but we do get told it was bad.

Both can be true at the same time. For example Tmobile and Sprint merging led to even more pressure on any new or existing networks that were/are not in the top 4. But it also led to increased competition with Verizon and AT&T.

Facial structure, body shape, voice. Humans have sufficient sexual dimorphism and are attuned to the differences enough to make this distinction correctly almost all of the time.

This is how we can, in most cases, ascertain a person's sex regardless of how they're attired.

It's also why the other commenter's view of women being "clothes, hair and makeup" is so absurd. A change of clothes, a haircut, and wiping off makeup doesn't somehow change women to men, or remove the ability of others to recognize sex.

Also, even if a person manages to disguise their sex or impersonate the opposite sex, this doesn't change the reality of their sex. Just may obscure it from observation, for some observers.

If it were specifically done to make a political point, having the attack come from Ukraine could be symbolically important.

Sounds like you are trying to explain away over a million deaths as if it was happening everywhere in Europe and not primarily the British fault.

Fact: in 1847, nearly 4,000 vessels carried food from Ireland to British ports while hundreds of thousands of Irish people died of starvation and related diseases. There was PLENTY of food in Ireland.

FACT: The government refused to intervene in the market to prevent food exports, even as the Irish population faced severe food shortages. Why?

While crop failures were happening across Europe, the impact in Ireland was particularly devastating because of the population's heavy reliance on potatoes. The suggestion that food was only unaffordable for the poor overlooks the fact that the potato blight left many people without any access to their primary food source. WHY was it the only source of food in an abundant growing environment??

Fact: Wages paid on “work programs” for those (un)lucky enough to get on them were too low to purchase food at inflated "famine" prices, leading to widespread starvation.

The export of food from Ireland during this period was a significant factor in the suffering of the Irish people, and it is important to acknowledge the role of British economic policies and the prioritization of profits over humanitarian needs which seems to be a struggle for you.

I’m on my second attempt at this. The first worked but it was unwieldy and kind of unsatisfying. I’m going to make a second attempt using a bearing of ferrofluid, which has a damping effect, and use field alignment with the earths magnetic field as the source of torque. It’s really fun and at times frustrating trying to eek out effects of nanonewtons of force, highly recommended.
Canon is dead to me after they forced 3rd parties to stop all RF lenses. I bought the last AF lens by Viltrox and it's fantastic. I regret getting an RF body after they threatened them, and now only allow 3rd parties on their crop sensor bodies. Fuji, Sony, Leica, Nikon, all allow 3rd party lenses. I switched to Fuji and won't go back.
The output of the dongle in it's normal DVB-T mode is an MPEG-2 Transport Stream. The maximum bitrate of DVB-T is 31.67 Mbps or ~4 Mbytes/s. It's thought that the USB interface was designed to support that rate and not a whole lot more (3.2 MS/s would be 6.4 Mbytes/s since it's 2 bytes per sample).

>following a private-sector failure. It was a big manufacturer, letting it collapse would have led to thousands of jobs lost,

Those jobs are just as lost now, as they would've been 50 years ago. Wouldn't it have been better to fix that problem earlier?

>It was not badly run in the ‘70s.

I'm sorry, I can't credit that. BL was less efficient in 1973 in terms of cars per worker than Renault, Fiat & VW. Per sales, it was even worse, as Fiat wasn't selling Alfa Romeos, Maseratis and Ferraris at the time. To say nothing of Ford, or Toyota.

So, as best as I can figure, that £1.2 billion was recouped by:
1.) Privatization of Jaguar in '84: £400 million
2.) Sale of Rover group to British Aerospace in '87: £150 million
3.) Merger of Leyland Trucks w/ DAF in '88: unknown, the merged Leyland DAF went bankrupt four or five years later.

So, by '88, the Government was still out £400 million or so on its investment; how much longer do you think they should've kept it up?

Also-I'd love to know which Anglophone government has a record of success with:
1.) A fully nationalized company
2.) That is highly capital intensive
3.) In the consumer-product or durable-goods space

> stock ownership is ownership of the business.

I hate that argument, because it's the equivalent of my saying I won a board game by preventing too many people from playing it with me, starting with most of the resources already in my possession, and changed the rules so it's harder to spend those resources than to acquire new ones.

As of 2022, Vanguard owned two-thirds of US companies by outstanding shares. That's one institutional investor controlling much of the marketplace. Literally everyone else - other institutional investors, retail investors, governments, corporate employees, etc - is competing for the scraps. If we're talking people, the top 10% of Americans own 93% of US equities according to a 2024 study - again, everyone else is competing for scraps.

So while you are technically correct in that stocks represent ownership, your detractors are more "spiritually" (as in, the spirit of the argument) correct in that it's an irrelevant point when the vast majority of US Equities are held by a fraction of the population. The argument falls apart completely when you consider Capital Gains are treated more favorably by taxation than wages, which is intentional.

So to John Q Public? It's a casino. They have zero hope of actually investing or having a say in corporate outcomes.

It is quite striking how experiences we know they don't have, are nevertheless, completely familiar (in a functional sense) to them. I.e. they can talk about consciousness like something conscious. Even though its second hand knowledge, they have deduced the logic of the topic.

I expect pushing for in the moment perspectives on their own consciousness, and seeing what they confabulate, would be interesting. In this little window of time where none of them are yet.
I think you’re more or less right on the law, but I do think it is sad that activity that would likely be non-punishable as applied to citizens can get you ejected from the country if you’re a non-citizen. There’s not much principle there.

Also there’s a bit of a wrinkle in the Harisiades case: first, it was written at the height of the Red Scare, and likely wouldn’t have concluded the same way had it been adjudicated after that ended and the Warren court era began. Second, the Court had to find that the Communist Party advocated for violent overthrow of the country in order to hold their membership as not protected by the First Amendment. Had it not done so, the court might have found that their activity was protected.

The author pointed out that commercial machinery can be fitted with a kill-switch, which would have been easy to activate had Caterpillar decided that genocide was against company values.

> What enabled this remote disabling was a practice known as “VIN-locking,” which manufacturers use to prevent unauthorized repairs to their products ... When it suits their purposes, then, the technology exists for heavy machinery companies to monitor, control and even disable products. Human rights abuses against Palestinians and Indians apparently don’t rise to the level of violating company values, let alone cause enough concern for the company to brick their machines

You can imagine more complicated safeguards if you like, but there's a simple solution sitting and waiting right there. All that's requires is for Caterpillar to decide they have any principles other than money...

> In 2017, an investigation by The Guardian and The Bureau of Investigative Journalism revealed that after the conclusion of the Corrie case, Caterpillar hired the corporate espionage company C2i* to spy on the family and report back on any subsequent actions they might be planning.

This talking head guy is just saying stuff to make you angry and click his videos. He doesn't actually know anything. Editing together a montage of clickbait/ragebait headlines from left-liberal media outlets and talking over it isn't an argument.

Let's go through:

>former ally Canada

Still allies. Not a former ally. First lie of the video.

>Trudeau said X, Y, Z

Saying things isn't the same as believing them. Trudeau doesn't believe any of what he is saying here, he is trying to rally support from his support base because the Liberals are likely to lose the next election. He is trying to stoke a "rally around the flag" effect.

Guy talks over a story entitled "The inside story of a high-stakes call between Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump as the tariff deadline loomed". Subtitle is that Justin Trudeau "revealed" some details "behind closed doors". Why should I trust this guy's interpretation of a paywalled article about some journalist's impressions of some Trudeau advisor's impressions of Trudeau's claimed experience on a call with Trump? That's four levels of people with an incentive to spin the story.

Then it is a NY Times article about Trump challenging some border arrangements with Canada about water access. How is this an indication he wants to annex Canada? It is absurd.

Trump allegedly said he didn't think "the treaty that demarcates the border between the United States and Canada" is valid? More likely he wants to do exactly what he said: renegotiate the arrangements between the US and Canada about how the border and shared water resources are managed.

The guy goes on to say Trudeau got caught on a hot mic. Lol. No politician gets caught on a hot mic in 2025 just by chance right in the middle of a political issue like this. It was very obviously staged like all these other so-called hot mic incidents. He wants to dispel the obvious notion that he is just playing this up to try to win the election.

This guy has no idea what he is talking about. He seems to think NATO isn't fully functional? Why would Trump be so resistant to giving security guarantees and NATO membership to Ukraine if he didn't think holding to security guarantees like NATO was important?

This guy wants this all to be a big deal. It isn't.

Trying to use a >50 year old fighter jet as counter-example for "see, it's proven folks can maintain & keep their equipment running themselves" is a hilariously out-of-touch proposition to me. (65 year olds actually.)

Who even cares about the jet by itself? Command and control (c2), c3, c4, up through c6isr (command, control, communications, computers, cyber-defense and combat systems and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) is all part of what makes these tip of the spears useful. Theres a whole battlenet that has to be totally reconstituted for these jets to serve their role, if the US goes aggressor.

Which the US is repeatedly saying they might do. That they think it might be a good idea to just take over some former ally's land.

Higher minimum wage doesn't put upward pressure on other low wages, and even if it did, pushing up the wages of people making $30/hr by taking away jobs from people making $20/hr to put them on benefits earning $15/hr is obscene.

>which helps the working class so that they aren't working and on medicare, section 8, food stamps etc. - as many Wal-mart workers currently are. That saves us money in the long run.

A higher minimum wage leads to lower employment not higher employment.

>When Seattle raised the minimum wage to $15/hour, everyone screamed it would lead to mass unemployment. That never happen.

It has been shown many times that a higher minimum wage causes less employment. It is also obvious from first principles and basic logic. Price controls are a very bad idea, and wages are no exception.

This is a problem indeed (that most people have forgotten about, due to the shim code that people use to load other operating systems like Linux). It may become a problem in the future so we need to stay vigilant and never support products that lock the bootloader. Unfortunately most phones do that. Phones are a rats nest of proprietary software and hardware and we need more development of open technology in that space.
