What about the electric socket? I like Type F, but I hate how it doesn’t have replaceable fuse, like Type G. I also think 3-pin should be mandatory. And about electricity, 230V, 50Hz should be the standard.
Over here in India, we have type C, D and M, and they’re decent, I guess. From a safety perspective, it is kinda bad, give how I confused type C slot with type M. This way, I have accidentally bent the two-pin many-a-times.
Type I. The angled pins make it much more stable than F, and there’s heaps of options for cable exiting sideways, upwards, downwards, straight out, etc .
What I like about socket type I is that it has both 2 and 3-pin variants, which is a nice feature. And you’re right about how stable it is, given how the pins are angled.
However, from all the images I’ve seen online, it seems to me that those cables aren’t at the bottom or the top, but toward the center. I mean, if you had something like a sofa or a bed pushed towards the plus, that would cause egregious amount of damage to the plug. Now, I could be in the wrong here.
Also, the ground isn’t tall enough, as screen in type G, D or M, which could be a safety hazard. And the point about the accessible fuse, which is a plus in type G, apparently doesn’t seem to be in any other socket.
In support of type F socket, they’re socketed - as in, a significant part of the plug has to go in first. And this interaction enables the plugs to be grounded first, before any of the other pins come into contact. You’re getting both stability and ground connection at the same time.
This can actually be a bit of an annoyance, sometimes… If the socket is right next to the floor, or in a densely packed area, for example, it can make plugging difficult.
And if it does have a ground pin, it’s mandated that the ground be longer than the power pins, for exactly the reason you mentioned about G,D,M.
The recessed feature of F I do like, even if it makes the plugs physically larger than they need to be.
That’s actually nice that there’s a low-profile plug available. I could see a alternative type socket with recessed plug socket, sideways ground like the Schuko, and the angled pins.
Good choices. Fixed-rate fines are unfair. To someone living on minimum wage, a $500 fine can be devastating. To someone pulling down a huge salary, not so much. They’re essentially unequal punishments for the same violation.
Yup. And not just fines imo. For instance, a cop who rapes or blatantly assaults someone, especially on duty, should have their sentence at least doubled due to the power dynamics.
If the punishment for all of those is death, and one’s power is a multiplier in punishment, one must reasonably assume that everyone has the same level of power.
So basically 1 in 20 inmates on death row are innocent, and people (mostly conservatives) are A-OK with that percentage of innocent people being subject to state-sanctioned murder in a very brutal way that’s far from painless. A dog being put down by a vet receives more humane treatment than a human being put down by the state.
So everyone that punishes someone with death will receive the death penalty?
Of course, you will have to punish the person that punishes the person that punishes someone with the death penalty with the death penalty with the death penalty
But then, because they punished someone that punished someone that punished someone that punished someone with death with death with death with death, they will have to be killed
Eventually, you will run out of people who can punish someone with the death penalty, so you will have to do it. Since you killed someone as a punishment, someone will also have to kill you, but because you are the only person that can do that, you will have to do it, ending the loop
Also, I would enforce every online shop, transport company, hotels… All of these functioning under a federated market, sort of like the fediverse. Impossible to corrupt. Impossible to monopolize. True choice.
What’s with Git? Sure, it is used by a lot of people, but it has some of it’s own shortcomings as a snapshot-based version control. VCS like Pijul has it’s own advantages, something to do with the patch theory of differences (disclaimer: I’m not an expert in this).
I am also kinda opposed to enforcing XDG, because of how unstandardized it is. Like for example, to set a terminal, GNOME Shell had to hardwired a piece of code to their internals, checking to see if a particular environment variable exists, , or else use gnome-terminal, which is just bad practise.
When someone is inevitably executed for proprietary software, are you put to death for making that rule? Or does the executioner get executed (creating a feedback loop of executioners who must die)?
Anyone, regardless of status, race, wealth, sexuality, religion, etc. that violates anyone's fundamental human rights would be put to death. Period. Tolerance of intolerance breeds intolerance.
I would want some clearly marked boundaries then, because I would consider unpaid labor a human rights violation but I wouldn't want my old boss executed just because I clocked out and then picked up some trash on my way out the door.
