Pure unlimited tolerance would include tolerating someone's breach of contract, logically speaking.

That "pure, unlimited tolerance" is what they mean by tolerance as a moral standard. Tolerance as a contract is "we have each entered into an agreement to be tolerant of each other. If you are not tolerant of me, you have broken the terms of our agreement, so I will not be tolerant of you."

I don't see a slippery slope here; I'd be interested to hear more about why this is a dangerous road to go down.

To alert to, sure. It makes car-like automatic braking infeasible though, unless we're looking exclusively at stationary objects like bridges, which are only present for a miniscule fraction of a container ship's travels; they won't have time to react when a sailboat suddenly tacks across your bow, for example. And it certainly won't help when the ship is without power and drifting, like the one that hit the Key bridge.

Saw this a while ago and it solves that "paradox" nicely.

I wouldn't think anti-collision systems would be feasible on a container ship: they're too big with too much inertia. It can take miles to slow to a stop or execute a turn. It's not like a car, where you can just hit the brakes and have immediate results. All that extra braking and re-accelarating would burn a bunch more fuel, too.

That looks interesting, thanks! I'll check it out too see if it might be suitable.

I've been doing a lot with organizing my data in Obsidian, and I've found utility in having both folders and metadata. Using the Dataview plugin makes proper metadata fields really powerful; you basically turn your collection of markdown files into a NoSQL DB. Having a folder structure is handy too though because you can have different metadata templates applied to new files in different folders with the Templater plugin.

Obviously that is dependent on a fairly specific workflow, but I think it's worth considering "why not both?"

I keep taking about wanting to use markdown files for contacts and policies at work, stored in reports repos for change tracking. The problem is always "the legal team isn't going to use Git". What I'd love to see is a front end for Git that allows direct markdown editing and emulates the Track Changes feature in Word.

Cinnamon is awesome on pepperoni pizza; throw it on before baking.

Eldrow is pretty entertaining, though it's not really limited to once a day. You pick a word and the computer makes guesses until it figures it out.

The first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club.

No, that's an escape character. You have to double up on it for it to show up.

"all 16 digits" implies that there aren't any more digits of pi, which isn't true. Just FYI.

Why is it a terrible idea?

I mean, the domestic businesses are the ones who own Congress and are using it to get rid of a competitor.

SMS-based can be intercepted, while app-based are calculated on your phone. If you're using SMS -based, all someone needs to do is take over your phone, and they're getting your 2FA codes. Here's how easy that is: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lc7scxvKQOo

If you're pulling on a rope really hard, don't wrap it around your hand to get a better grip. If it starts to pull away from you, you won't be able to let go, and if someone runs up to help and starts hauling on the end, your hand is going to be in a world of pain.

Mint is super comfy. Garuda is cool. Pop_OS! is as annoying to use as it is to type.

Excessively rigid horse armor?

That's me. I've only lived in one apartment with a dishwasher, and that was only for a year. We just used it as storage for pots and pans. My folks have a dishwasher now, but any time I go visit them I just wash stuff by hand, at least partly because I don't know how to dishwasher.

A combination of a good lock (I think those Kryptonite New York locks are well reviewed) and having a bike that doesn't look desirable. If your bike is obviously high end, it's a target. If it looks like an old beater, thieves probably won't bother. As often, anyway.
