The need for balance cannot be stated enough. All things have to be done when it's their time. Spending your entire youth working yourself to the bone to retire early is just as bad as trying to spend all your old years globetrotting t

I probably said this before. The deathbed perspective is an exercise of taking your entire life experiences and distilling them to get a concrete core as seen from the "final checkpoint". The key is knowing that there will be no f

The problem with "lawful"-whatever is that the lower the apparent impact on the target, the wider the net that is thrown. So the tool ends up having an outsized impact on the innocent rather than the guilty. Unlike the lawful use

People would still take the deal because it gives them the hope that they can somehow avoid the biggest, most unavoidable, irreversible unknown: death. And for a billionaire the second choice is a no-brainer. They lose all the material po

The distinction is purely academic and it explains the "why" but doesn't change the "what". For all intents and purposes the components have some features inaccessible for [reasons]. Similar to how features licensed

The devil's in the details but if the price is right then this isn't fundamentally worse than any CPU with factory disabled cores. The difference being that you could now pay to unlock the feature instead of buying a whole new CPU

You take some effort to reject my arguments with far weaker ones (ridiculous even) yet you don't propose anything realistic. All evidence is pointing at the same conclusion. From a business perspective in some case treating a problem g

The problem is usually not one of legality but of optimization, so it's hard to "fix" without using a heavy hand. You can't force companies to invest in cures rather than treatment, especially at the cost of profit. And

Obtaining a steady revenue stream is something that makes perfect sense in any business. And it's literally documented that curing a disease is a questionable business proposition for the companies that could rather sell the treatment

Anecdotally, every person I know to have a circumcision performed on them had it because "it was normal" in the society, not for any religious belief. Not wanting to stand out is a good enough reason for many. In some places an un

It's telling that you have to pick Iran, Russia, China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia to show that the US is not unique in their actions. Especially since 2 of those countries are close US allies. That's a very interesting bar to set, and
