I'd assume any war between large militaries would.

How would you propose we use them here? It seemed for a while like our military was at least prepping for a land invasion. Maybe they could have been part of the landing but I'm sure as hell glad they didn't follow through with an

You may overestimate the skill demanded of soldiers in trench warfare. The mental and physical ability to stay in the fight is unimaginable. The skill expected with regards to attacking the enemy, well the goal was mostly to just not stick

I'm curious what the financial engineering you're referring to was. I've been trying to understand why gas is still comparatively cheap given the war and the best I've landed on so far is that the spread between feedstoc

I would love to know the honest opinions of our top brass. They had to know sitting out of (most) drone range and leaning almost entirely on long range surface-to-surfsce missiles wouldn't even come close to clearing the way for more s

Well for starters I'd say my basic point is that its foolish to assume nothing came before what we do know about. There could have been past human civilizations, with enough time any natural building materials would effectively vanish.

Thanks! I'll have to check it out.

The reality is that fighting any country with a decent military has to be all-out war. We should have plenty of precision missiles left today because they should have been used only to clear the way for runs with "dumb" bombs. A

I've always been confused by the idea that we know all civilisation that has happened on earth, human or otherwise. Written record doesn't go back very far at all, and even archeological evidence is lacking. Its believed that homo

It isn't shocking and that wasn't my point. The OP is pointing to benefits of tailwind related to onboaring new devs, I was just raising that doesn't match my experience. If a new dev doesn't know CSS well it won't

I've never found tailwind to help someone who isn't already a reasonably skilled web developer. If you don't know CSS tailwind gets your far enough sometimes, but you have to learn many of the same paradigms as you would in C

The is the crux of why I don't get the vision that with AI everyone will be entrepreneurs. If everyone can start a successful business simply because of AI, why wouldn't their potential customers just do it themselves?

If its at least somewhat recent hopefully those affected still have paperwork for any property ownership transfers. Finding proof of property you bought decades ago would be a huge pain.

You're still dependent on Apple continuing to allow such a use. If the goal is messaging that avoids government spying or censorship its a lost cause - the government would simply compel Apple to pull the app in their jurisdiction.

I'm not sure how that could work. If we can't distinguish between those how would you write enforceable laws or regulations? Its all well and good to have a blanket statement that politicians shouldn't lie. It entirely differ

Quite a few commentors here mentioned using gitea or one of it's forks on a private tailnet. That would mean it isn't publicly available and can't be scraped.

by _heimdall 3mo ago
Well that's effectively my point? Are you okay with elected officials having the power to write whatever law they wish simply because they were democratically elected? Surely there must be a line and you aren't granted the elected

Why healthcare specifically, and where so you draw the line? Are you okay with democratically elected officials making any decision for the people as they see fit?
110.
by _heimdall 3mo ago
Is your point that the only rational model includes the government having fill control over healthcare and the medical industry?
111.
by _heimdall 3mo ago
We were talking about the US here though. Its very different when the government already effectively controls healthcare as a whole, of course they would control or have a large say in hospital bed numbers, for example. For better or worse
112.
by _heimdall 3mo ago
I absolutely agree that things in the US seem to be going in a bad direction, but we haven't yet lost our constitution or system of checks and balances. There's a big difference between the Constitution, law, and doctrine. The Mon

by _heimdall 3mo ago
Our government has absolute power without a constitution binding it and our population is disarmed?
114.
by _heimdall 3mo ago
Is that the line for regulations you're okay with holding on to? If so you better start regulating how many beds each hospital has as well, if bed demand is the bar you must control bed supply.
115.
by _heimdall 3mo ago
I can't speak for the GP obviously, but lumping together all regulation is a mistake. This would be a situation of having regulation protect our rights rather than limit them. That's a huge distinction and the former isn't pa

by _heimdall 3mo ago
Regulations that protect your rights are very different from those that limit them. In this case it would be the former, and no less it would be reinforcing a pretty fundamental right in our system, the right to own property.

I'd be curious further upstream as well. How would it compare from whatever shared point of entry the two approaches would have, say from coming off a boat at a port to the end user rather than just comparing the last mile.

People weren't calling for temporary hospitals being stood up or wings allocated just for unvaccinated people, they were calling for people to be denied care. Your Ebola example still doesn't hold, the death rate and transmissib

by _heimdall 3mo ago
You're raising drastically different scenarios in what I'm pretty sure would be a strawman argument, though yes people with Ebola do still get medical treatment. They are generally isolated and/or treated at a temporary unit

by _heimdall 3mo ago
One of them is already linked above. The trials didn't test efficacy in reducing infection or transmission, only in reducing symptoms.
