The argument sometimes comes off like: "Why aren't you better at juggling double-edged swords that are on fire?" Perhaps the opposite side might say: "Why can't we juggle inertia-powered lighted yo-yos instead?&q

Yes, stop calling them "ALPRs" because they're not. It's the surveillance industry's marketing wank to make them seem benign, limited, and a police tool when it's (and similar products) really a video/audi

Tipping in America originates from post-slavery Reconstruction adopting a then European custom, where some categories of workers were paid inferior wages and relied upon the uncertainty of goodwill of customers. https://time.com&

Forget lynch mobs and misdirected, projected rage of others. Integrity means not changing because of the fashions or abuse by others. Fuck them. Use all the dashes.

In general rather than assume capabilities about this system in development, ULAWS are inherently scary and undesirable. Weapons release should never be self-identified and autonomous without preplanning or human involvement. Sweden signed

"Abundance" is retreaded neoliberalism, not progressive. Sigh.

It's an incurable acquired allergy to meat and animal products and it's not a required labeled allergen in foods or pharmaceuticals. ~10k new diagnoses per year. Seems like an orphaned condition that needs fast track research.

Becoming a lawyer or getting a polisci degree is typically a stepping stone to becoming an elected official by understanding how the system of laws operates in order to change them. Bernie Sanders, for example. People like Darline Graham wh

Replacing people willy-nilly with AI is a stupid fad that won't work the way they think it will in most instances. AI doesn't impart judgment, constraints, reasoning, or correctness so far the way a human can and likely never will

You're cherrypicking polarization as a counterexample against trying to be better. No one figure is going to appeal to all people, but actively pushing away a sizable fraction with negativity is the surest way to carry water for being

Then you have masses of idle, desperate, poor, purposeless people who either find coping hobbies to fill their time while some inevitably revolt. Unlike the fallacy of the "lump of labor fallacy", there is always a limited number

You're creating a strawman. Don't run cargo update without verification, duh. > Asking the user to not make mistakes is the c++ approach to security Then demand crates.io do better by actually curating every version of every pu

That's a circular argument. Unions work when people band together because owners only understand money and output.

Zuck has his pipes and wires hooked up to a bullshit image management unit. I'm surprised there's not some mini operator inside him punching in FWD 10, LEFT 90, FWD 5.

No, this is false and you're using weasel words and creating a strawman. I said add functions or capabilities to make it happen. You don't read.

Never depend on a megacorp shit job for stability. The way out is unionizing and workers coming together to form a worker-owned co-op business with other good people, a very low turnover rate, and a civilized environment. They don't ne

1. seL4 exists. I haven't seen much more formal and rigorous than it. Efforts have ported the Linux kernel and RTOS-things to it. 2. Add syscall(s) to POSIX, which encourages *nix adoption, with an API like the following: - Drop capabi

Safe-ish recommendation: Only add well-known, trusted crates. Failing that, treat unknown crates as malware or containing malware dependencies until proven otherwise. Test untested tools/crates in a VM/dev container to be sure the
