> There are darker things down the path of eroding our protections from our government than whatever evil they’re asking us to yield for.

I agree with you, but this illustrates part of the problem of our messaging. These policies are still just tools which don't have an inherent moral value. The evil comes from their abuse on a mass scale, and the huge temptation to abuse them, with the emphasis on how easily the powerful can be corrupted.

This is prone to being called out for being a slippery slope fallacy, but we need to just back it up with historical precedent, like how similar policies were abused in the US as revealed by Snowden.

Not being JIT doesn't preclude a supply chain from being fast, though. A fast, but non-JIT supply chain would probably create a lot of excess, but it might be worth it to overcome any bumps in the process.

Sure, there's still the question of survivability between men and women if those accidents are categorized based on severity with measuring things like speeds involved, whether it was a T-bone, type of road (highway, city street, etc.) and probably lots of other dimensions I'm leaving out.

Is it that unusual? LDP is a conservative party that holds a majority with the voting public, and the opposition to conservatives everywhere is often much more fractured.

Not even close to the same thing. Someone doing something to themselves that puts themselves in mortal danger isn't anywhere on the same level as wanting to eliminate an entire group of people based on some arbitrary attribute.

They should definitely be warned, and perhaps be put into therapy with a professional, but self harm isn't social darwinism. It's just a mental health issue.

Every time a doctor has "written me a prescription" for an OTC, it's always been just a note to me to actually get it. They never bother to send it to the pharmacist, and I end up being just another nameless person to the pharmacist buying another pack of Tylenol.

That's still an unfair advantage to Amazon Basics that competitors can't get.

I think that's the point is that it does seem rather ambiguous as to the intent. If someone is new to programming entirely, what are they thinking is happening with an operation *on obj.a or obj.b? If they know other languages and are just starting out learning Python, what expectations are they bringing from those languages?

If I had had magic wand, I'd make operations on class attributes from an instance a syntax error, and only allow it from the class name, and perhaps with special syntax like in C++, e.g.:

    A::a = (1,)
    A::b = [1,]

*edit: operation on obj.a or obj.b...

Currently existing schools can't find enough teachers. There definitely wouldn't be enough teachers to make this work even half way.

Kurzgesagt has acknowledged this was a problem with some of their earlier videos, but they're trying to do better with presenting any uncertainty around the topics they cover from now on.

Yeah, and it's all due to us having evolved in a world where famines were a constant threat, but now that's not an issue for many (although it's still a problem for many others.)

Mythbusters did something like this, but it was just using one of those big commercial training simulators instead of a real plane if I recall correctly, and showed that it was possible.

The same one, yup: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jun/04/utah-governo...

Glade had a lot of problems, and core Gnomes devs really recommended against it[1]. I think that dev for Cambalache didn't want to try to figure that out.

Not OP, but a lot of people find it very easy to be sociable with successful people (or who they perceive as successful anyway) and will give them preferential treatment.

Most criminals aren't thinking about any of that at all. Either they're so goal focused, any possible punishments don't even cross their mind, or they think they're clever enough to not have to worry about it.

Ana does a better job I think of explaining some of the finer details, and some specific implementations[1].

Buzzfeed should have never gone public. Pretty much the entire purpose of the rest of Buzzfeed was to ensure funding of Buzzfeed News.

From what I can see, that's pretty much it. It might affect future funding, but I'm betting lawyers would successfully argue that some occurrence doesn't count.

The hyper competitiveness seems to be a problem. I'm not sure what the answer is, but students need a way to be able fail honestly without shame so that when they do succeed, they do so without needing to cheat.

Slimbook in Spain is like the EU version of System 76.

These are all targeted at enterprises. I used HyperCard as a kid, and I don't think anyone would be having a kid using any of these.

Are the Galaxy Buds still under warranty? I've had mine for about three years now, and my biggest issue is that the right bud drains now faster than the left, and so after a few hours, I'll only get audio from the left.

If you aged the cast of Mr. Robot by a couple decades so that they're middle aged, and transported them and their memories back in time to the early 1990s, and the whole crew was focused on just one hack, that's pretty much the movie Sneakers.

Does Israel even have laws against spying on its own citizens? If not, or very weak one, it's hard to imagine it wouldn't want to spy on them, especially any political opposition.

That shouldn't even matter. A conflict of interest doesn't invalidate what they would have to say. The problems with conflicts of interest in testimony is when that's deliberately hidden from anyone to see. Keep that in the open, and any problems from it will also be in the open.

What about cross compiling Windows binaries from Linux with MinGW or the like?

Ah, nevermind. I just noticed you're using Swift.

I'm betting you could probably get away with just using MSYS to compile it for Windows

4k Netflix doesn't work on Linux, and also downloading for offline viewing, but I think those only work on Windows with HDCP enabled.
