In the abstract that’s true. In reality, these are people who have families to feed and if the choices are to lie on paperwork or to lose your job and likely have your workplace report you for negligence to cover themselves, most people cho

The subtext on this comment is rather hostile. Refugees anywhere likely want to leave because of the current situation, not because they always hated/disliked/whatever their country.

Long haul trains are one of the few scenarios in which I think nuclear powered transit makes sense. They have high mass, are insensitive to additional weight (e.g. reactor shielding) and frequently travel long distances with stopping. Plus,

Not wearing a seatbelt is also a choice to force the healthcare system to support the person for 50 years after they break their neck in a preventable way. The choice is individual but the consequences are societal.

Nursing is one. Per diem staff pick up shifts whenever they want.

Race cars are built differently; they have a tube frame to protect against high speed roll overs and have no airbags. You wear a helmet to protect yourself from hitting your head against the metal roll cage or steering wheel (because no air

I don’t think helmets would mitigate that risk. For comparison, should bicyclists be required to wear seatbelts?

Yeah, that’s true especially for modern cars with memory seats. That said, afaik the actual seat controls can still be used with nothing more than a 12v power source. I have not personally tested this on a newer car seat though.

A lot of times the controls are on the seat itself, so for adjustments you’ll just need 12v power. For heating/cooling, I suspect it’s more complicated. On older cars, it might just be a wire you need to jump for hearing.

Pretty much all the chains are equally bad — I’ve worked for 3. Agreed on the management problems preventing meaningful change though. Nothing will get better until the entire system collapses in my opinion…

Agreed. One of the things that surprised me the most working in healthcare was how many people have a flagrant disregard for anything but self interest — even human life. Sadly the policy mechanisms have failed to keep these people out.

What’s scary about UEFI is that it has both direct hardware access and a massive attack surface: GUI, Ethernet stack, occasionally an 802.11 stack, etc.

Fair point, I didn’t consider that. If the units aren’t on the rental market, it won’t affect pricing power even if they’re unoccupied.

AFAIK the theory is simple. If there’s only a single available property in an area and someone needs it, the landlord can charge whatever they want. If there’s 100, the landlords are forced to compete. At a metropolitan scale, having 5% of

Sorry, that was poorly explained. I’m agreeing that the overall benefit to society is positive. But, I disagree that the impact to the individual is essentially zero.

by profile53 5y ago
I think the impact is near zero but not zero. For example, it might mean someone has to work a year longer before accumulating wealth and retiring. The benefit far outweighs the cost, but the cost is still there. Taxes are inherently a rest

However, when the laws greatly restrict one’s ability to do things, are they really free? Whether or not you agree with a law, laws are nearly always aimed at restricting people.

You're right. I knew ext4 is crash consistent even in a read only mode, but after looking it up, ext4 will ignore the read only mount request, replay the journal to disk, then mount in read only mode. So, it doesn't just replay th
