So you're argument is not that individuals don't owe a debt to society for facilitating the creation of wealth, but that the state functions poorly as a proxy for society?

If that is the case, what would function as a better proxy through which society can collect its debt?
Currently our understanding of biochemistry is so poor that we still have a lot to learn about the very basics. I don't think the diversity of our lab mice is currently a limiting factor.

> So income tax is the only just form of taxation? What about consumption tax? Property tax?

I didn't specify income tax, but 'earned'. This would include a variety of taxes, including capital gains, income, etc. To be fair to the situation, this type of donation would likely trigger capital gains, but if the foundation set up is a 501c3, then they would be (possibly?) exempt -- as it seems to be an LLC, there doesn't seem to be a tax dodge here at all.

FWIW, I wasn't disputing whether any taxes were just or not; rather, disputing the notion that society is being robbed as a result of non-taxed earnings being withheld. As society has determined that is kosher, then there is no theft.

Personally, I consider income tax to be one of the least just forms of taxes, but that did not bear on my argument at all.

> Are you saying he's donating after tax income? Or are you saying that it's like he never had income in the first place because he donated it before it became income?

To be honest, it's still a bit ambiguous. If he's holding shares for now, he's paying capital gains on the shares that he holds -- to my knowledge, there's no way to earmark that money for charitable tax exemption without actually donating it, and in the short term, Zuck has stated that he won't be giving it all away immediately. Either way, if we accept the premises that society has chosen tax exemption for charitable contributions is something that society wants, and that he's paying taxes on his current earnings until he gives those shares/moneys away, he isn't robbing anyone of anything.

> I was arguing against the OP's example of taxation as theft, not against the possibility of charitable giving tax deductions.

I won't go as far as to say that taxation is theft, but as I alluded to earlier, I lean that way on income tax. Regardless, I don't think that's really the point of the argument here. Regardless of whether or not tax is theft, Zuck is still paying his taxes. Any portion of income or potential income he gives away to charity is not theft from society because society has stated it hasn't via tax code.

In the counter-hypothetical that guntar made though, wherein Zuckerberg pays the full taxes owed on his earnings and incomes, and yet is still not entitled to do what he wants with his post-tax money, hence the state must be entitled to it? That would definitely be theft, in my opinion.
Maybe. The problem with getting such fundamental things wrong is that it's almost impossible to figure out every possible way to exploit it.

I haven't looked at the code in question, but I'd be willing to bet that the NSA has figured out a way to exploit the broken multiplication which is completely unlike what the OpenSSL authors were considering.

The primary difference is in the underlying philosophy. I encourage everyone to read the manifest from the main project site [0]. Most of the points are counteracting bad design decisions (IMO) made in the official client.

In general, official client tries to do too many things at once. In the result, the code base is huge -- too big to be easily audited; it's also proven that it's likely to have a lot more bugs. On a similar note, letsencrypt-auto, the default installation method, pulls in Apache plugin with all of its dependencies. And so on, and so forth...

At the same time standard modes of operation are well hidden and/or difficult to configure. For instance, running the official client without root is technically possible, but let me know how much time it took you to figure this out ;). Likewise, scripting is pretty much impossible, because the CLI tends to ask interactive questions... "webroot" plugin is probably the only plugin that could be made into non-interactive mode, and again you have to be knowledgeable enough to figure out all necessary flags.

simp_le tries to takes the best from the official client ("webroot" plugin -- not stealing, I authored that plugin myself) and adds some missing features that IMO should be the standard. E.g. you can just just put `simp_le --some --flags && this_command_will_be_run_only_if_cert_was_renewed_eg_restart_nginx` into your crontab -- this mode of operation is simply not possible with the official client.

NB You can also turn simp_le into a standalone binary (~8MB) using built-in PyInstaller setup [1] and distribute to your machines without having to install any dependencies (even Python) :)

I hope that answers your question. You can also catch me on #letsencrypt, or better yet #simp_le (both at Freenode).

No, it uses "automatic reference counting"—it keeps a reference count of memory usage and frees it when it's no longer being referenced. And (for the most part) it automatically inserts the reference counting into your code during compilation. There are still some hints that you need to give it (like telling it about weak references to avoid reference loops, etc.)
It's funny you say that, because this is exactly how Uber itself expands (or used to at least). Lyft does indeed need to offer a promotion to get people to use it, it's almost always like that when cutting into an existing, (somewhat) established market. When Uber started, they had to do the same thing to convince people to use Uber, not only on the customer facing side, but on the driver side too.
I would like to see inbred mice banned from all research not about inbreding. No study should use inbred mice - sure is lets you use less mice, but at the expense of generating results that are limited to one individual. If we can't afford to use outbred mice then we should not have done the experiment.
Most tools that deal with paths delimit them on newlines and support a -z or -0 flag to delimit with \0.

You are correct. My point is that at least its more accurate than the labels and categories I already apply. Idk if removing words from our vocabulary would actually help with bias and other cognitive self-deceptions, its an interesting thought.
You've basically nailed it - the evidence is anecdotal and, coming from a keto echo-chamber, is obviously subject to confirmation bias. Therefore, these findings cannot be trusted as statistically significant.

By the same measure, we could argue smoking cigarettes is a reasonable, even healthful thing to do (on a slight tangent: exactly that was suggested by doctors in the 50's and 60's) - after all, we all know heavy smokers who haven't dropped dead, but on the contrary seem alive and thriving.

I'm glad it worked for you, but have you also fairly and objectively evaluated a plant-based, high-carb, low-fat diet? I think only then can the two be compared without bias, at least as I see it.

That philosophy is perplexing because system admins already have to manually handle things like software upgrades. Unlike SSL renewals, upgrades usually occur to an arbitrary frequency yet admins seem to be able to cope.

I'd also contend that 90 day expiry makes end-users less sensitive to certificate change notifications; at present if a website renews its cert after a year I receive a pop-up and I pay attention. Receiving one every 60 days will just condition people to start ignoring cert changes, whether valid or not.

Justifying a tyrannical government by virtue of the previous government having been a tyranny too doesn't persuade anyone.

For the US government, whatever it does is always about its interests, because that's what governments are about.

However, that's just the reason why being a small nation sucks, like any resident of a small country can tell you. Sometimes their plight even manages to gather some popular sympathy[, but as Dalai Lama can tell you, it doesn't help much anything]. The lucky ones are who happen to succeed at gaming at least two great powers against each other, instead of being surrounded by one large or its sphere of power, who will merrily invade you if it strikes their fancy.
Terrible roads seem far too local of a problem to be due to philanthropic billionaires diverting wealth. Quality seems to vary distinctly by county or city; I once lived near a city line where the line was demarcated by the abrupt transition from flawless asphalt to a minefield of potholes. Neither was a particularly famous, wealthy, or powerful county, and neither had resident billionaires.

No, I'm more suspicious of measures like California's Prop 13, as well as county and city level management.

Thanks - I wasn't aware of such diets, and I'm glad to hear people are eating their greens regardless of which diet they follow.

However, you're incorrect to assume adding meats and dairy products - even so-called "lean" ones - which are laden with cholesterol, saturated and trans fats - is at all healthy. All credible evidence suggests quite the opposite. If you have any studies which contradict my assertion, I would love for us to examine them together.
After the heartbleed bug I checked out the openssl code to see what the quality was like. I was horrified from what I saw; single character variable names outside of loops, preprocessor macro soup, no comments for functions. I've told interns off for less.

Given the reliance on openssl I really hope companies that are using it are doing robust automated checking on the codebase.

So SourceForge has gone from terrible to (somehow) even worse than that.

It makes me wonder; why don't we have a good site for Windows programs yet?

Ideally, it'd be run by volunteers (not a company with a profit motive), would manually moderate the programs posted them (and remove any adware/spyware/bundled programs by force if necessary) and tell every malware ridden sleazy ad network to sod off.

It exists in more niche subject areas. If I look for game making resources, a lot of those sites actually do proper moderation and try and make sure viruses aren't present in uploads. Places like MFGG are pretty good about this. So why don't we have that for software in general?

I mean, there's GitHub and package managers, but it's disappointing how this market has no honest people in it.

The question you ask is a bit vague, so pardon me for only answering one form of it.

When it comes to memory management of particular data structures, a language like Rust can only safely distinguish between the presence of aliasing and the total lack of aliasing; it can't reason about memory locations that have bounded amounts of aliasing like doubly linked lists or trees with parent pointers. If the pattern of aliasing can be described by a regular language, then there exist decidable formalisms that can reason about it, but none of these formalisms have made it into practical programming languages.

If you go further and allow arbitrary directed graphs as data structures, then there is no decidable system for safe manual memory management (and depending on the definitions you use, this is provable). It's also often difficult to write (unproven) safe code in languages like these, so in practice people tend to just use region allocation (allocate your graph, temporarily leak it, and then free it all at once) or they implement a poor garbage collector.

Garbage collection also simplifies concurrent programming greatly, because it allows separate threads of execution to have no knowledge of the memory management strategy used by each other. If you try hard enough you can write a solution by hand that avoids the use of a general GC for any particular use case, but it eventually starts to feel like implementing a special-purpose GC.
It's odd that you say "federalism is a non-starter for the US at the present day," since that is exactly the system we have in the United States. Individual states are responsible for much (most?) of the government of their citizens, while the Federal Government takes care of higher-level tasks like war, as you mentioned.

it's in the constitution, the 10th amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

PHP 7.0.0 Release Announcement
I want to clear up a misconception here. Odds are that for $100 you didn't get any sequencing done. More likely they used a genotyping chip to look for (potentially a lot) of specific variants. This is what 23andMe does. The price of sequencing the exome (all of the genes in the genome) is approaching $100 and could be lower than that for really high volume producers, but for now the most common assay at that price point is a chip.

I was there. Motte was very popular in the Amiga/BBS days in the 80s, worldwide, long before Hall had his supposed Moby Dick idea. Maybe that really was his great-great-great-uncle? Maybe it just wasn't an original name for popular electronic musicians?

If he wasn't aware of the original Moby, that tells you he was just ignorant of the electronic music scene during the 90s, which is plausible because most Americans had not been exposed to electronic music yet.

I'm not super excited that it is centralized and cloud mediated, but the cross device integration is a valuable piece of the puzzle. I don't want to lose the ability to use a medium sized device for the same purposes, I want to be able to choose whichever one is best for what I'm doing.

Thanks for validating and expanding on my post with more detail.

I personally wouldn't try using glue on flat-pack furniture, though. For one, the pieces are generally finished there they connect, which means you are gluing to a lacquer on at least one side (possibly both!), and wood glue really wants a porous surface like unfinished wood. Another reason is that much flat-pack furniture (less so Ikea) is super cheap particle board that simply isn't strong enough to support the much weight from its surface like you would force it to with glue.

When used properly, however, wood glue is indeed shockingly strong.
I don't want to sound too critical, but have any professional typographers reviewed this?

I'm mostly asking because at first glance, some of the models look quite terrible to me (questionable font pairing, excessive column width, no visible grid, etc.).
OOP allows you to avoid code like this:

function makesound() {
if( thing is a Cat )
return "meow";
else if (thing is a mouse)
return "eep":
else if (thing is a sheep)
return "baa";
}

Code like this in an OOP language would be replaced by creating classes, such that the structure of the program implicitly executes the if else switch above, without you having to write it.

class Cat
{
makesound() {
return "meow";
}
}

class Mouse {
makesound() {
return :eep";
}
}
.
.
.

Then if all those classes inherit from a common animal ancestor, the calling code would simply say: animal.makesound()

This becomes very convenient when the program behaviour relies on a combination of two or more types.

In that case the if else example would have to contain nested and possibly repeated ifs (or calls to functions) to handle the logic for all the variations.

Note that inheritance in this example isn't to reuse code, just to establish the relationship between subtypes.

If you become tempted to use the type system as a clumsy code reuse mechanism, you will encounter alligators for sure.

Neither type of code is good or bad, just convenient for different purposes or not.
