Doesn't mean it's not worth trying... but only if some good would come of it.

The boxes weigh 44 lb. Imagine sick, injured, and starved people attempting to carry those.

Also original UN plans called for hundreds more distribution sites.

If Americans pressure the GHF to shut down, does the situation get worse or better?

What's everyone's thoughts on the GHF? They're the only way that food officially enters Gaza. IDF is not supposed to be immediately present at the distribution sites, and yet are shooting civilians. As are contractors hired by GHF. In fact there are cases of nationals joining IDF for the explicit purpose of shooting civilians, seemingly. There are movements to disband the GHF, but how else would Gazans eat?

If only you could offer congress deferred resignations...

Same. Some Targets.

> There is no other use case for crypto, only this.

I'm sorry but last few months have done nothing if not demonstrate the need for crypto currency, aka digital cash. It may not be ready, but it is likely the only path forward. In the meantime Monero is relatively stable, sufficiently anonymous, and has comparatively low transaction fees.

The monopoly of existing payment processors cannot continue. They have a stranglehold on fees and issue cards that promote economically harmful activities. They and contactless payment processors sell your data. And now they control what you can and can't purchase.

Enter national digital currencies such as as the proposed CBDC. Fear-mongering sites making such outlandish claims [1]. So I do a bit of research, and find [2]... wait, what?

"In addition, it [full anonymity] would make it virtually impossible to limit the use of the digital euro as a form of investment – a limitation that is essential from a financial stability perspective."

Suddenly I trust [3] so much less. The technical controls required to implement inventory limits would just as easily enable expiration dates and automatic devaluation, or whatever overreach governments deem necessary down their slippery slope.

Where does Pix fall in this spectrum?

You may not agree with my original point. Raising someone with Down's Syndrome is a high risk venture requiring significant capital (physical therapy, speech therapy, medical interventions and surgeries), a large support network (boots on the ground), and an endowment for continuing care once the original parent is no longer capable. Most people cannot afford to provide this, in which case the experience becomes an ordeal for everyone involved, parent and child. If a parent decides to proceed regardless and forewarned then they are possibly being emotionally selfish and a perhaps would be better suited with a pet rather than a child.

> Why do you think people with Down syndrome can’t “achieve independence and a life of their own”?

Based on the anecdotes here. 5 in support, 3 against as of now. I wasn't expecting such a spread, so I did a bit of research. The cognitive problems, though possibly quite severe are not so as frequently as I had assumed. Whereas the medical complications tend to be commonly nasty. As for independence there's a lot of advocacy material claiming so, but reading between the lines and in conjunction with reddit and quota testimony, I suspect very few qualify.

> And what makes you think they, or their families, see their existence as suffering?

I'm sorry, what? Those with Down's Syndrome are people, with all the emotions and experiences that entails. If they are supported, nurtured and loved then they'll lead correspondingly happy lives.

I'm working my way down your requirements.

> Hardware memory tagging

I had to Google this. Is this like a fine-grained version of mprotect, i.e. associated permissions with each tag? Or are you only interested in the memory safety benefits? Regardless, why target requirements that even most desktop computers don't meet?

I do wonder if the elimination of all genotypes with Down's Syndrome would also result in a significant reduction in beneficial or benign genes.

I've had smart pets. I've never had children. I sometimes envision smart pets as like an X-year old child with Y-year old trait, almost as a person with a disability. If a child can't achieve independence and a life of their own, why let all parties suffer through that ordeal?

Hmm, that's what pdb.set_trace() uses, right? That means monkey-patching live code will have an unavoidable performance hit, with the exception pointed out by sibling @skeledrew comment.

Which brings me back to my long-held belief that python functions are not quite first-class, not until you can rip them apart and put them back together as if nothing ever happened.

Not to say there haven't been improvements, as evinced by the decorator module rewrite from version 2->3 (or 3->4; can't remember) that completely changed how the resulting function was constructed.

I'm going to need references for these claims, like a cloaking device. BAE and Northrup Grumman?

edit... Actually a lot of these are going to need evidence of progress beyond a mere website.

The problem is running the injected code at a specific location... line number or definition.

Aren't matrix user IDs global? Wouldn't it be possible to ban messages from a given user regardless of server?

There's TraCSS, SST, RSSS. Each country needs to have their own satellite tracking program. There is international cooperation but do you really think the US is in charge? "Whoops", says the US as a small cubesat from another country collides with a Russian military space satellite. "Missed that one - my bad".

Isn't this the point of DKMS, to decouple module code from kernel code?

Did they actual prove this?

Per the article that's what they're working on, but it probably won't be based on tetrahedrons considering the density distribution. Might have curved surfaces.

In my mind @dang works for the community. I think my argument stands under such a hypothetical.

I didn't realize @dang was employed by Y Combinator.

> The latter is absolutely an editorial standard.

It is the editorial standard of the community not the company. It seems that this law would pit the company against the community at the behest of the local state.

Whereas I suggest removing bias introduced by and benefiting the company (ads). This legislation forces the company to introduce additional bias which, though not financial, benefits the company legally.

> If it were posted here, moderators were notified and they chose not to flag (or geoblock) it, yes, I think that’s not totally unfair.

To clarify, it would be fair for hackernews to be sued for failing to remove or geoblock such content? Doesn't this in essence balkanize international communities and defeat the spirit of the Internet? The cesspit of social media is due to forced bias and the solution is to introduce more bias?

Think about how this would apply to hacker news? Not all algorithmic bias is evil. If you want to avoid an echo chamber, design an algorithm to boost interesting content that missed the front page. That shouldn't render you vulnerable to legislation.

And would this allow Brazil to prosecute hacker news for cyber security violations if a user posts content regarding Flipper Zero or Japanese IC cards, or data breaches of Brazilian companies...

I think the line should be drawn at ads... and maybe even all profit centers of social media companies.

I don't understand the rsync example with '-e sh shell.c' as short-form options with space-separated values are expected to be two separate args and yet the glob expands it to a single arg. Right? Unless the tool does additional argument processing?

Is there an equivalence between gpu vram and mac ram?

I'm not sure what you're trying to imply... only rogue software developers use devstral?

Is firewalling the yggdrasil adapter susceptible to IP spoofing?

I am a good programmer and believe in well-behaved software.

My coworkers aren't, but I was shocked to learn they believe all software is inherently brittle and fragile.

I fix issues at the root by changing code.

My coworkers fix issues by publishing user workflows which can avoid triggering issues, or removing execution paths featuring buggy code, etc.

My coworkers work less than I do, so I'm trying to be more like them.

I'm pretty sure this was in reference to transaction fees...

I don't see any value to unnecessary transaction fees. In particular:

> These fees enable consumers to potentially spend more than what they have.

Where's the money coming from? You can't spend out of thin air...

Let's say I offer to provide an automated payment system in exchange for 0.1% transaction fees, which is an equitable exchange. My inclination is to then raise the transaction fees, but when the fees become burdensome I jeopardize my business. So I both raise the fees to 2-3%, and introduce rewards cards to justify the raise. The problem is that not everyone is eligible, or willing, or able to qualify for rewards cards. So I've mollified the consumers that matter while managing to rip off the disadvantaged.

Rewards cards can be seen as loyalty programs for merchants, but only merchants who command dominant market positions. I think franchises are particularly bad because the link between owner and brand is hidden. A small franchise (ie print/ship stores) cannot differentiate itself. A large franchise (ie gas stations) is essentially a monopoly which does not benefit from loyalty. That's why you have so many small retailers offering discounts for cash payments.

Now as a merchant stuck covering transaction fees, my incentive is to increase loyalty. This means increased rewards through steeper discounts on higher prices, but this is a network effect that only benefits businesses with a large customer base. Just as with disadvantaged consumers, retailers with smaller customer bases simply cannot compete. Large businesses with higher prices can also negotiate better agreements with payment networks.

What we have here is are two rent-seeking trends and a hidden network of rewards agreements that obfuscate market signals for the consumer. If you are banking on rewards to buy something otherwise outside of your means, chances are that blood money was unwittingly liberated from someone less fortunate.

So yes, control of payment rails is crucial and is responsible so many large-scale social trends.

You can also do some neat things with "--ephemeral" and "--volatile" to basically overlay the image (or a subset) with tmpfs; any changes to those overlays will be lost when the container is brought down. The specific mount points can be controlled in greater detail via "--tmpfs" and "--overlay".

I'm not sure how easy that is to customize in Podman.
