What does the conscription look like in daily life? Do people just naturally transition from military life to civilian life, same as going from school to working?

What kind of purpose does the military serve over there? Is seeing soldiers doing civilian stuff a common thing?

My perspective has always been that the military works overseas, completely seperate from most Americans daily life

Hey at least comedians have plenty of material

I get why 2FA is adopted so widely: companies need to cover they asses. Even if you don’t care if a hacker gets ahold of your password for a flash game website, that password leak could cause issues later on, and opens the website up to responsibility.

What really bothers me more, is that 2FA is relying so heavily on phone numbers, which is an extremely flawed security system. At least some of the larger companies are open to using authenticator apps, or sharing the private key for storing in a database. But so many websites do 2FA by “requiring a phone number”, which just puts a lot of security responsibility on the phone carrier now. The user doesn’t really gain any extra responsibility for having good opsec, because phone companies fuck up all the time and assign phone numbers to new sim cards all the time, often on concerningly small amounts of information

I just started reading the dune series, after watching the movies, and I’m having a great time with it! Somehow the books do a better job of detailing the conversations between all the different characters, and setting the stage for movie 2.

Reading this thread, i think lemmy has a real problem. There sre a few comments that appear centrist or left-leaning, but the majority of comments are extremely left.

I’m not asking for neo-nazis or far right, just more centrist opinions like in this thread

I think there are some conservative opinions that are worth discussing. For one example, I’ve seen conservatives talk frequently about protecting children from an increasingly secular world. Comparitvely, that topic rarely comes up in normal lemmy topics.

Truth be told, I generally am progressive on this, but I sometimes wish I could discuss this with someone whom I may disagree with, so I could better understand where I would stand

This is bad for the health of lemmy though, I think. A discussion board/framework should be politically neutral, while still employing rules on hate speech based on the voice of the masses.

If you want to talk hate speech, I’ve seen numerous accounts on lemmy instances of people advocating for murder or other violence against “billionaires” or anyone with a significant wealth. Or same with right-wing ideals, I’ve seen users advocating similar broad calls for violence based on pretty poor assumptions against the entire right-wing USA block.

I relate to this style more than the other comments in this thread, this seems more typical of a large company.

You need to define clear needs out of your request: start with your end goal, the processes you need, the mechanical details of the processes you need to write, how much detail you are comfortable with, and the format in which you want it . and take all of that to the senior or director level of whatever department manages those systems. They may or may not know the exact information you need, but it should be their job to delegate and translate the request such that their reports can collate what you need in the form that you need it. And because it’s the director delegating, the engineers have inherent CYA and will be a lot more comfortable giving you what you need.

Unfortunately this adds to the bureaucracy, but it really is the most effictive way of translating business needs to engineering needs. It’s not a straightforward process, and accurately defining the steps that need to happen for a job to get done, takes someone with a lot of experience and training.

If you’re in a startup or smaller company, then I think the other comments that prioritize asking and listing to what the engineers recommend, is the best approach.

I just finished my thesis last semester, it’s a huge milestone. Good luck on yours!

End the workaholic streak and get back to my hobbies, maybe even make new friends via hobbies

I mean that may be “the truth”, but it is purposely not “the whole truth”. Which is a violation of the oath. The only way jury nullification is allowed is if a jury independently decides not to convict, because then jury is unbiased in deciding that the law is wrong or shouldn’t apply.

Again, if you are selected for jury duty, and you already have decided you will ignore the law to avoid convicting the criminal, then there is no way you can make it past the selection without lying to the court.

Before being selected to be on the jury, the candidates are asked questions after being sworn in, that almost always include language that would disallow ideas of jury nullification.

Why are people downvoting this? Jury nullification itself isn’t illegal, but committing perjury definitely is, which is what Maalus is pointing out

Just to be clear, one of the standard questions to ask a potential jury is “you must be able to render a verdict solely on the evidence presented at the trial and in the context of the law as I will give it to you in my instructions, disregarding any other ideas, notions, or beliefs about the law. Are you able to do this?”

If you know about jury nullification, with the intent of using it, then you need to lie under oath to get past this question.

The question was taken from the New Mexico US courts

Thank you for this. I’m signing off for today, I’m sure I’ll find the results out eventually

I like /all too, just to be clear. But sometimes I’d like to browse the equivalent of /all, just without politics. Sometimes it’s a little much and the feed could be 70%+ posts about the US election

Plus, some instances seem to have a certain “style” to them. I feel like it would be cool if there was some currated feeds that instances presented, that include content across multiple instances that fit that “style”. Would just be an easier way to explore those niche communities. It would also kinda solve the issue with having fractured communities for the same topic across multiple instances

Yeah. Or just personalized feeds that you could share. I’m sure some instances have a great list of communities that their subscribers follow, that isn’t available on/Local. And going to /All isn’t always a good time. If there was like a /All, but maybe with some extra filters, that users could just subscribe to, that would be awesome

Mm idk, I think knowing how to use folders is pretty important. It helps people stay organized.

The article wasn’t talking about file systems like FAT32 or NTFS. It was talking about using directories, instead of “pulling files from a laundry basket” by using a search bar.
