You are arguing in bad faith.

My support for Palestine means wanting Israel to stop killing Palestinian civilians. This does not indicate my support for Hamas.

You have multiple unbelievable claims that are not cited.

It seems in Texas, if you cannot afford to pay a funeral home to claim your loved one’s corpse, then the corpse will be sold for parts, to raise the necessary money to dispose of it. And you won’t get a funeral.

This is why there are so many libertarians who are not Libertarians.

Palestine has a right to exist.

That first part is eerily similar to what I was about to post.

In 2011, I was a lonely introvert. I spent my time binging TV shows and reading.

In 2012, on an IRL meetup thread on the 4chan x (paranormal stories) board, I met a new friend. I think deciding to meet them was the critical moment. They introduced me to a local arts and crafts club, a certain sci-fi fandom, and Minecraft.

The arts and crafts club became the basis of a friend group that is still my main friend group today. They brought me to a local convention in 2013 where I discovered I was trans.

In that sci-fi fandom, at a 2016 convention, I met my current partner, and a bunch of new friends.

I played a lot of Minecraft from 2012 to 2016, but then my partner in 2016 introduced me to Factorio.

Beta testers should get a discount, or even get paid, in exchange for writing good bug reports. These people are fools for paying extra for earlier access to a bug fest.

I would never pre-order a game. That just makes it harder to refund it if it sucks.

Can someone explain to me how this is economical? (The article is pretty light on facts, and the few facts that it has are suspect anyway due to the article’s technical mistakes, like measuring capacity in “megawatts”.)

The maximum price of electricity (that I could find) in California is $0.66/kWh . That means, if you charge at night, or at some theoretical time when electricity is free, and then sell at that maximum price every day, your round-trip profit is $0.66 for each kWh of battery capacity. Lithium-ion batteries, if I’m being generous, last up to 2000 charge cycles. Let’s say they don’t lose any capacity during that time, either. That means your profit $1320 per kWh, for the whole life of the battery.

The cheapest grid-tie batteries I can find are about $3000 per kWh, so about twice as much as the total lifetime profit.

Is there something I’m missing?

Thank you for explaining it. I have been confused about this for hours. I thought he was talking about congress members. I don’t think I could have ever figured it out.

I never saw that character in the game, but there are dozens of other reasons to hate Metro 2033.

The civilian:soldier death ratio is unacceptable for both sides.

But Biden is giving weapons to one side.

I didn’t write my own, but I did clone the git repo, and then compiled it myself.

If you are Microsoft, then yeah. You’d go to jail when a Windows vulnerability is found.

In all seriousness though: it would be more likely to be just a civil penalty, or a fine. If we did want corporate jail sentences, there are a few ways to do it. These are not specific to my proposal about software vulnerabilities being crimes; it’s about corporate accountability in general.

First, a corporation could have a central person in charge of ethical decisions. They would go to prison when the corporation was convicted of a jailable offense. They would be entitled to know all the goings on in the company, and hit the emergency stop button for absolutely anything whenever they saw a legal problem. This is obviously a huge change in how things work, and not something that could be implemented any time soon in the US because of how much Congress loves corporations, and because of how many crimes a company commits on a daily basis.

Second, a corporation could be “jailed” for X days by fining them X/365 of their annual profit. This calculation would need to counter clever accounting tricks. For example some companies (like Amazon, I’ve heard) never pay dividends, and might list their profit as zero because they reinvest all the profit into expanding the company. So the criminal fine would take into account some types of expenditures.

This is stupid. Their justification is an “unusual degree of vulnerabilities.”

So why not outlaw vulnerabilities? Impose real fines or jail time, or at the very least a civil liability that can’t be waived be EULA. Better than an unconstitutional bill of attainder.

They only want to tax employee benefits above $12,000. The point of it seems to be to limit how much health insurance people get, so it limits their access to healthcare.

If all employer-provided health insurance was taxed (not just the amount above $12,000) it would be a good thing in the long run, because it would disentangle health insurance from employment.

Business ethics is the opposite of ethics.
