On 7 July, MEPs voted 331–303 to fast-track the return of Chat Control 1.0 mass scanning. A binding vote follows Thursday, 9 July, where an absolute majority of 361 MEPs is needed to stop it. Take action now to demand they defend your private messages.

"Yes" means stop control, because it's a "proposition de rejet" we're looking at. rejet = reject. Parties in favor of chat control were:

- European People’s Party and

- Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats.

Countries in favor of chat control were:

Spain, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Hungary, Portugal, Greece, Ireland, Lithuania, Latvia, Cyprus

If you look at the initial vote from July 7, there are a few countries who actually wanted to make it an "urgent decision" (other than the countries above):

France, Czechia, Finland, Croatia, Luxembourg

Counterpoint: Reels apparently are still addictive

The hard part was always the number of 'r's

I'm on my cell phone and I couldn't figure out what diseases can be treated on the site. I'd say it's donor focused and not patient focused

Are you saying Microsoft ever paid damages for problems with Windows (e.g. a non-bootable computer after an OS update)?

I think they didn't, so I don't see why them having the responsibility matters.

There is a kind of naiveté, also at EU level, where people think that once it's a law, bad actors will just fold.

They minds are somehow unable to comprehend that only the good actors will fold and only bad actors will be left.

Other examples are: Firearms possession, supply chain law regarding human rights and child labor.

Forgive my ignorance but aren't they already on huggingface?

I assumed turboquant optimizations are already everywhere - in llama-cpp, or the quantization machinery of unsloth and the likes.

Luxembourg: Purchase price = 2 x sales price, mostly due to grid costs.

And this is with no income tax or VAT on sold electricity.

Isn't the bomb argument actually a statement about (the current way we implement) democracy?

Maybe it's the separation of powers that's not working...

If I understand correctly, I see all your points as potential rewards.

These rewards are useful to the US if they accomplish regime change to a friendly regime or at least military occupation of a good strip of land.

The article is about how these two preconditions for obtaining the rewards are unlikely to be fulfilled and, at the same time, non-accomplishment might achieve the opposite:

- Iran (and by necessity, other Gulf states if they want to export oil) align more with China

- US-partnership will not provide security (Arab states, South Korea and other allies are now less secure and the US can't protect them)

- US and allies are in a worse position to secure South America

Huge risk with little chances of a reward. That's the article.

Modifying the rewards does not change the game unless the probability of obtaining them increases or that of the risks decreases.

Can you point out a better source or the major points that become invalid due to other circumstances?

Useful for evaluating people as well

Is there some sort of injection that's a legal host name?

Great article with lots of practical ways to implement it. In my view this is a superpower and I find I can usually do it if I'm not stressed or tired.

As follow-up thoughts:

- It's important whom you listen to. Consider it a gift you're giving and give it only to those who you think deserve and not abuse it or make you consistently feel bad about something.

- Those listeners are also very healthy in/for a group,e.g., at work.

- Listening is a big part of managing a team. People's thoughts are often all over the place and it's your job (partly) to structure these, within a person and a across a team. People that feel heard are much more inclined to listen.

- For starters: Just make an effort to ask five open-ended questions in every conversation you have. You will see how people open up after some time. This also works for family, dates, colleagues, ...

If you're good enough at killing lighthouse projects you can defer that.

One could almost say "Embrace the penguin"

Good point.

Tangentially, you could ask: Are you addicted to being useful or to being recognized as useful.

One is your own need, the other often a covered contract where you lash out or silently resign if you don't get the recognition that you think you deserve.

Increased security for "unapproved" leaders of a state. Allies will help out of fear instead of common goals. Resentment among allies. Appeasement until counter control is effective

I just played one (can iI play any of the past ones?)

But this should be mandatory game-theoretic education for politicians (if it really is what I think it is).

Once you assume that any collection of Straussian meme examples is itself a Straussian meme example, you're free to start with the worst examples

And maybe that's the higher reading.

Nerd sniping

And as long as the app isn't otherwise spying on you (and there's no mention of that)

I think the correlation between "spying" and "saying that you're spying" is 0 or negative

Where do you think this should be discussed if not here?

When you say "capitalism" you mean poverty?

I believe poverty is the natural state of man and I wonder how non-capitalism (= socialism?) makes people rich?

What I think you mean is that equal access to education is a promise of the state that is too often broken. But then we're talking about incompetence or corruption at the state level, paid for and sustained with your taxes, and you have those problems in socialism, too.

I suppose that was irony to highlight they're usually exempt.

Also, they are paid by the people to work for the people, so during the exercise of their functions they could in theory be contractually obliged to use a company phone

If I wouldn't know better, I'd assume using the metric system is actually a disadvantage when building SOTA rockets.

Is there no obligation to attend school in these states?

Cruel as in

- destructive to others' property, or

- expressing negative opinions verbally?
