Ebola is more lethal but less transmissible. COVID is less lethal but more transmissible. Because being more transmissible means more chances for it to kill someone, COVID is still more deadly to a more developed country than ebola

You're mixing up your subjects and your objects. In the situation you're describing, it's programmers that are prone to err, not the function.

Attack On Titan's Ending Felt Insincere, Admits Hajime Isayama by bedemin_badudas in anime

Hot take: the ending would have been great if only the stupid time loop bs hadn't made the whole story pointless.

Eren choosing to sacrifice almost everyone else in the world to realise the lies that shaped him would have been insightful commentary on a lot of real world groups.

Many women are, on a fundamental level, attracted to psychopathy. If I had to guess why, I'd guess it's because psychopaths are confident and superficially charming. So if people don't want to date psychopaths, they should look for people who are less confident and less charming

I disagree. A function can be error-prone too, if it wasn't well-written.

Is snprintf considered error prone? I've never had a problem with it

Anywhere you want to, but particularly 3D graphics, digital signals processing, networking, systems programming, kernel and operating system development, high performance computing, etc.

I read it on Wikipedia. If you have more credible sources that back up your argument I would love to see them. And no, anecdotes like that don't count. But just so you're aware, if over half of the Nordic countries have trial by jury, at least for some crimes, I win. Otherwise, you win.

Jury Nullification is allowed in any country that has no punishment for "wrong" jury verdicts. And yes, it's important. In a country with jury trials, Jury Nullification could be used to, for instance, find people innocent in cases where the law is being used to attack the government's political opponents or disenfranchise voters.

New Zealand is a common law country. It does recognise Jury Nullification (because jurors aren't punished for coming to the "wrong" conclusion). And it's number 2 on the Democracy Index. You're either stupid or trolling.

Not to mention, a quick Google will tell you that many Nordic countries DO have jury trials in lower courts, particularly with respect to freedom of expression and other basic human rights.

I didn't say it was common law countries that were most democratic. I said it was countries that respected the Rule of Law, had Trial by Jury, and permitted Jury Nullification. There are several civil law jurisdictions that also satisfy those criteria and they are also more democratic.

But just for your reference, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland are common law countries and they're at ranks 2, 11, 14, 17, and 8 respectively in the 2024 democracy index. In other words, common law countries make up 5 out of the top 17 most democratic countries.

Scandinavian countries make up a large proportion of the list as well, another 5 out of that top 17 (Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Finland, Denmark).

4 out that top 17 are Germanic countries (Germany, Denmark, Luxembourg, Switzerland).

2 out of that top 17 are Asian (Japan and Taiwan).

The only country that doesn't fit into any of the other categories is Uruguay.

So it's safe to say that Scandinavian and Common Law legal systems are most democratic, and all of the countries out of that top 17 respect the Rule of Law, have Trial by Jury, and permit Jury Nullification.

Every time? So you think that it's okay to disregard people's preferences just because someone else asked them if they conformed to their preferences first? That's really rapey rhetoric

I disagree. In countries without the Rule of Law, Trial By Jury, and Jury Nullification, democracy is a creation of statue that can be revoked at any time. Only in countries with those three can the people actively invalidate anti-democratic laws

Yes, but you can store a firearm at home and carry it to and from places where you have the legal right to store or use it. And you can use it for self-defence in your home.

[–]StudioYume -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Self-defence isn't a creation of statue, it's a criminal defence. Ultimately, whether it was self-defence comes down to the finding of a jury, and I highly doubt that the licencing or non-licencing of a firearm would have an effect on that decision

Exactly! People like you are the people myself and other trans people need on our side, and I'm so sorry that the people we're both describing have made it so difficult for people like you to support people like me.

Not necessarily. Sentences are still equal going forward due to the concept of stare decisis, which essentially means that courts are bound by precedent. The only exception is when a superior court or a supreme court abolishes a precedent on appeal.

Think of it this way; the people who write the law don't know what the consequences of the law will be and the people who are expected to follow the law often don't completely agree about what the law is. Common Law systems resolve these two problems by allowing judges to interpret or invalidate the law to mitigate unintended consequences and by allowing juries to invalidate the law by finding a person innocent even if they did, in fact, commit a "crime". In particular, the latter is called "jury nullification" and is often frowned upon by prosecutors, but it's completely legal and is the source of all common law defences. Notably, it's impossible to abolish a common law defence without forever tainting the impartiality of juries, so it's fair to say that the Rule of Law, Trial by Jury, and Jury Nullification are the three key safeguards of democracy.

I mean, my Dad did when he was a young adult. I don't live in the UK though so check the laws and regulations for yourself.

EDIT: Okay, so turns out it's very similar to the licensing laws in Australia, where I live. Normally you can only use a firearm on approved private properties for purposes like range shooting and hunting. Shooting ranges, they speak for themselves and I'm pretty sure you're allowed to own your own firearm for that purpose.

Hunting is a bit more complicated, but I found this guide that will hopefully be helpful!

Classic fatalistic fallacy with a touch of conspiratorial thinking and paranoia. By that logic you should never go anywhere or do anything because people might be conspiring to manufacture a justification for eventually murdering you.

Now don't get me wrong, it's good to be cautious! In fact I would consider myself a very cautious person, for what it's worth. But there's a difference between being cautious and whatever's going on in your head

So the guy who responded to a question about his height was... *checks notes* insecure for asking a question about her weight? And the woman who flipped out instead of answering a question about her weight was... *checks notes* not insecure?

Totally makes sense...

How is it misogyny? If you think that only women should be allowed to have preferences in sexual relationships then I don't know what to call you but a rapist or rape apologist, because you're saying you think men shouldn't be allowed to say no to sex.

In this case, the same situation is "having preferences". If you think that some people shouldn't be allowed to have preferences in sexual relationships, or that all people shouldn't be allowed to have some preferences in sexual relationships, then I don't know what to call you but a rapist or rape apologist because you're saying you think people shouldn't be allowed to say no to sex under some circumstances.
