Both arguments are bad, in that they are both based on the best use of money that isn't yours to use.

Saying "this person's money most benefits me if I let them keep it" vs "this person's money most benefits me if it's redistributed to me" are just two frames that reveal your belief in your entitlement to others property and labor based on your belief of it's benefit to you.

So then don't make it free?

Depends on if either put theirs on display.

Probably the least convincing argument you could put forward

Aside from the strong selection bias, you've also been raised in a culture that both works and values work.

Now imagine you're a third generation UBI recipient. Your parents never worked, and you're surrounded by people who don't even "work" in the way which you describe it.

At that point, I have very little hope, even for people predisposed to it like you.

For the first generation of UBI recipients, sure. I'm more concerned about the people that will grow up having never worked.

Only seems like a rescue if you specify that they're alone on the island to be honest.

If you had said that they were left at an outpost with other people for six months it somewhat loses it's "rescue" vibes.

> What they reproduced is the parameters. And that is exactly what you want. A repaired product should be as close to a freshly manufactured product as possible if you're going to be liable for it.

This has some sense to it, mostly from the liability point of view, but this

> if you design a portable consumer device and you know to what tolerance you need a battery to be adhered to the case to make it not come loose, you know what pressure, movement, adhesive etc. are needed to make that happen for the form factor the battery is going to fit in.

as someone who works in this field, this is overstating the matter quite a bit. The tolerances for something like pressure in this instance are going to be wide enough that "press firmly" would suffice in a rework document. It's made to be very simple on purpose for manufacturing, and a lot of slop is built in so that we're not in this situation where microns or milli-newtons matter and cause a battery fire somewhere down the line. The fixtures are primarily for efficiency gains, and in that sense I would agree with the gp that press fixtures are not practically necessary in an at-home version of this process.

For some added pedantry: aren't all the mistakes that a professional might make, also ones an amateur would make?

In fact, it seems like an amateur is likely to run into all mistakes more often, thereby making all mistakes amateur mistakes; unless there some class of mistake that amateurs are better at avoiding?

A similar point can be made for the physical newspaper aspect; not every author is trying to impart accelerando-esque future shock on their readers. And presumably there isn't infinite market demand for that either. All different aspects of selection bias.

Unless you happen to be irradiating a tumor, then your going to be damaging a lot more healthy cells than cancerous ones

That's averaging the crime over the whole city into one statistic. The point here is not simply that the office is in SF, it's where it is in SF that matters.

He used his father's rifle purchased in 2013, so you can amend your statement to:

"A reminder that if you want to live in a country where it is normal to own an assault rifle..."

Far from universal

Now would be a good time to upload the solutions to libgen so other people can skip the black market
