Poop-de-loop.

The entire field isn’t therapy.

“Must be at least this rich to ride”

Best of luck!

Yeah, similar weather relatively speaking.

I’ve never been to Toronto, so I can’t talk too much trash, but I have been to Vancouver many times and experienced how awesome it is. And, they both cost a similar amount!

Privacy, food safety and environmental regulation basically mean Europe, but then Europe has crazy anti-migrant sentiment at this point. So, maybe one of the Scandinavian countries that’s still relatively welcoming? Portugal might also track, if you don’t mind a country that’s economically moribund.

Honestly I don’t get what the hype with Toronto is. It costs like Vancouver but with Calgary’s weather and general vibes.

It’s hard to imagine a world with no freedom of thought being better, somehow.

In practice, I doubt we’ll ever have to sacrifice much more than we already have. (Which is actually a significant amount. For example, until recent history living on a schedule was for ascetics and flagellants)

Okay, so it looks like nobody read your text. Sorry about that.

Edit: I suppose I should actually answer. The main thing is that you’re going to have to communicate with people who can taste. They’re going to notice things you don’t, and that can even be safety things if there’s an ingredient that has spoiled.

Looking at the responses, I’m guessing Lemmy isn’t a representative sample.

A lot of them don’t even go into it to teach, it seems. More just to be the smartest person in the room.

I’m guessing the derivation from first principles. I too learned the rules years before I was shown it, and it was just so cool to see where they came from.

To be fair, expression tend to be way, way smaller than a codebase. The math community was never forced to improve in the same way. Actually, the symbols were themselves an innovation; in ancient Greece they just had to try and explain that shit in long, tortured natural language sentences.

I really, really hope nobody feels like I’m trying to be unclear with them. I know I sometimes am, though.

As I understand it, ActivityPub-compliance basically requires that a vote is tied to an actor. Although, they could have made a dummy actor do it. Maybe they were worried about stopping vote manipulation?

Hmm. So are you thinking about the peer review part, primarily? Arxiv already exists and I’m guessing it’s easy to mirror.

I have a feeling, just based on how law works, that this will be highly subjective. I interpret your question as being about skill. If that’s not what you mean please correct me. (Sorry for the non-answer)

Even within criminal law, things like acquittal rate would very with the exact kind of practice - a guy that specialises in complex white-collar crime and takes easy cases might get a really good one without too much skill. Someone who takes anybody who will pay upfront will probably have a cruddy one. This could get even more extreme if you look at non-Western or historical systems where the result is almost guaranteed in advance. So, that’s not in the spirit of the question.

I seem to remember an XKCD What If where Randall Munroe mentions the highest paid (criminal?) attorney in the US, but there again, it was someone who sounded highly connected. Does that correspond to skill? (Edit: The late Ted Olson, who does appear to have defended criminal cases)

Somebody that actually knows a lot of names and legal history might be able to tell you something more useful, but just take it with a grain of salt.

I can’t think of a more reasonable definition of an evil person than a person who does a lot of evil.

Usually people have some kind of way of justifying an action to themselves, and there’s always a story that lead up to it. Everyone I’ve gotten to know well is part of one problem or another.

So, It’s not very interesting to ask where to draw the line, and even less useful. The important thing is what to do about it.

If you do, at least pick carefully. I can just picture some guy shooting a real estate agent because he looks fancy.

In more general spaces I find bringing it up instantly summons incels, unfortunately.

It does, although the name still could use improvement. It means liberation from the other end of the patriarchy, but it sounds like it might be a men’s separatism/incel thing.
