I agree with you, but even then it's still going to be someone's backyard

Or maybe the third rate version would have made different choices, and those may have due to pure chance worked out well for us.

I feel like you're suffering from some sort of confirmation bias.

I've worked under a top talent CEO, and the company collapsed. He made some gambles and they just didn't work out. I am not convinced that a third-rate version of him would have done significantly worse.

That's what happens when you make them the most highly-funded police force in the world. They start looking around for new jurisdictions.

I'm not even convinced that this fits your definition. A distillation "attack" doesn't evade the security system in the sense of hacking past a login. The only part of the "security system" that it bypasses is the Terms of Service. And that's only after said data was acquired legally and correctly and normally.

It's a post-facto attack, which doesn't sit right linguistically to me.

Tends to have a lot of unfortunate pushback from the well-connected people who like to live on coastlines.

That has nothing to do with it. Congress should still have to declare an operation like what is happening in Iran.

Also USA is very sensitive about the other side's civilian deaths.

I'd argue that it's not sensitive enough. We've bombed schools and desalination plants.

If your goal in a war is to topple a regime and prop up a more friendly one, then you can't just bomb them to submission. All that does is topple the regime and replace it with a probably worse one. You need to convince the population that the new regime is actually better, and you don't convince anyone of anything by killing their kids.

I believe in a "reasonable expectation of privacy" standard. A drone could hover outside my window watching me, but I don't think that would make people feel comfortable.

Crime rates are actually lower on transit than in a car: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1077291X2...

The perception of crime and danger is strangely very inverted

Public transit is dangerous because of crime

What was it you said? Assertions made without evidence?

Edit: I looked into it and crime rates are actually lower on transit than in cars. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1077291X2...

You need to examine your assumptions

Oh don’t worry there is plenty of evidence

Deaths per billion miles via

car: 7.3 Train: 0.43

From https://www.vox.com/2015/5/14/8606195/train-safety-driving-c... but you can just google, there are tons of other studies.

I believe this is based on actual average usage, not by assuming the vehicles are full.

You're completely wrong on safety. Driving is much much more dangerous than trains by orders of magnitude.

I know what you're getting at when you write safety, but I want to be clear that this is not the same thing as safety.

Unfortunately, the gambling industry is going to have a much wealthier and more powerful lobby than any effort to displace it.

30 years for that seems harsh though I anticipate they will be pardoned by the next Democratic Party President.

I really doubt it.

Thank goodness. I can’t leave my laptop for a second unattended because my cat loves nothing more than to dance on the keyboard. I’ve need something like this.

Well, when your stock is massively overpriced it's a smart time to buy stuff with it.

It’s a great way to regulate if you’re corrupt. When the rules are opaque and arbitrary, there’s a lot more room for corruption.

Different people need a different number of steps inbetween. I know for myself, I'll just end up disabling the battery saver mode.

"[broaden the] participation of underrepresented groups". [1] As if seeking out the best of the best to collaborate with... was somehow undesirable.

Are those mutually exclusive? I know that's a common argument, but it doesn't track to me. Finding the diamonds in the rough in underrepresented groups is part of finding the best of the best to collaborate with.

I just gave mine its own VPS. Maybe more expensive than Nix but it was very easy

Wait... how could that have helped? It's a toxic material under pressure so why would we want to vent it further?

Ha, I built the exact same thing, except using ClickUp for all the task management.

Having agents on kanban is really a level-up in terms of what you can do and how you can organize.

I don't know about roofing, but for wall solar there is Solablock (https://www.solablock.com/), which makes solar-embedded masonry. Much better thermal profile and cheaper overall installation costs.

Haven’t used Windows in a while, but I remember hating the seemingly completely random “restarting in 5 minutes for a system update.” Usually at the least-opportune time

Linux friction is “unpredictable” but windows friction isn’t, because you have a lot of windows experience and not much in Linux. I don’t think you’d feel the same after a few months of Linux.

I was shocked that none of my cards worked for lots of stuff in the Netherlands. They also have their own system.

What claim? I didn't make any of that sort

I don't see how that changes my point at all.

edit: to clarify for you, here's an example.

Model A advocates for single-payer healthcare, while Model B prefers for the current US healthcare system. So on that one axis, A is more progressive than B. Neither of them needs to be racist for that calculation.
