Because of the damage addiction does to communities. When these laws were passed it was people in those affected communities demanding them. People forget there were huge community marches in the 80s/90s crack epidemics with locals demanding police rid their towns of crack dealers.

>Should community residents not have the freedom to enforce restrictions on their own communities?

Definitely not. Land is a common asset of all of society: taking away building sites while basically all urban areas (ie: with jobs) suffer housing shortages is exploiting the commons.
Low income households spend an exceptionally high percentage of their income on housing (http://www.lao.ca.gov/reports/2015/finance/housing-costs/hou...). Meaning they are particularly sensitive to price increases. So yes, it would really suck for your home value to increase a couple percent and have to move. But hey, if there's profit involved who can complain!

Furthermore, most low income households who own property aren't engaging in speculation, they are simply trying to keep the property they inherited.

Get a grip. Moral people would not want to sell dope, regardless if there were no penalties. Dope changes lives, and never in a good way.

Morality is absolute. People deep down know right from wrong. America now plays relativism with morality and truth with garbage like, "well, if it's true for you...". It's crap.

A felony conviction means you cannot be trusted. This man sold dope to people. He was convicted. What's not to like? The law did it's job. Now, if only we had Singapore's drug laws, this country would be largely free of immoral dopeheads and their ilk. Selling dope is immoral whether legal or not. It attracts bad people and gets children involved in things that are not healthy and righteous.
That would be a reasonable way to solve the problem that doesn't even exist. However that costs money for the manufacteurs so they are much more likely to do it by locking the firmware for the whole device.
Functional tests are the best kind of tests. While unit tests are nice sanity checks when implementing tricky methods, when the rubber hits the road, you want to know if the whole app works as you expect it to.
A lot of discussion around that topic seems to happen without mentioning in which context the concrete development happens. The article doesn't mention which language the author works in.

In particular the "don't want to restructure the codebase because the tests would fail, so I don't write tests anymore" is probably something that you can easily get away with the more expressive your type system is. You can make lots of heavy structural changes and refactorings and if it compiles, you're mostly fine. If you try that in a Rails project, you can basically spend five times the amount of time to just test and ensure that you catch all the subtle cases where the dynamic typing in the new code structure leads to new errors.
Yet another aspect of this: people have always used "ephemeral" conversations. It's nobody's responsibility to ensure that the government has access to those conversations:

https://www.technologyreview.com/s/601044/the-feds-are-wrong...

And another one - So this is the 4th amendment, right?

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,[a] against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Okay - Where does it say in there that whoever is served the warrant must also ensure that the government makes sense of it? It only says that upon probable cause, it allows the government to search a place and "seize stuff". But that's it.

The government can obtain the iPhones and can even obtain the encrypted data. What they do with them from there on, it's their business.

It’s a fine question – one that, given the state of engineering jobs in the data space, is essential to ask as part of doing due diligence in evaluating new opportunities. I’m always happy to answer.

I find this article rather peculiar. At the start, you'd be forgiven for thinking this was an article about a company looking to find a solution to a problem, but as the article progresses it's clearer that they're selling themselves as the solution to the problem they outlined.

In other words, they start off looking like a customer, but only to set up the premise required to sell the solution to the problem their company supposedly has/had. Turned me off from taking the product seriously.
Whoa easy with the name calling.

I'd personally love a less restrictive immigration system. But OPT and H1B are very restrictive and benefit employers much more than they benefit society. The government and those that control the immigration system serves the people and I think they sometimes forget that and come up with policies that are very beneficial to employers at the expense of the middle class. I think this is part of a major systemic issue that is leading to the squeeze on the middle class.

One of these days I'm going to write that blog titled something like "How to take a position against current immigration policies and not be called a xenophobe".
Yes, reckless is a good word.
I think that is a start. I actually live in a neighborhood near Kirkwood and have had similar thoughts and experiences as the guy in this article.

Guilt is sort of the word for it, but not quite.

I think the simple fact of recognizing privilege when you have it, is a start. Being aware of history is the next step. The final step is not just wanting to help, but actually helping.

I think a lot of people in this author's situation find that last step difficult. The truth is that if you look hard enough, you _will_ find people in the community that care and are trying to do things. They can point you in the direction you want to go.

It's somewhat arbitrary within a pretty solid framework, if you want my opinion.

My OP and this thread was about macro-level rule of law, my other comment was micro-level obviously.

No one is talking about "bad and good" here, I'm just saying you cannot compare them as you have attempted to do, as the fundamental differences defy equivalence.

The problem is neither of what you mentioned. My concern was universities catering to cheaters because they pay more to attend.
The problem is unless you have some offband connections or doing your own startup it's very difficult to switch languages as a professional. For example, if I wanted to switch to Rails development I'd have no chance getting a job which asks for 5 years experience with Rails - I'd have to take a junior/intern position which would be a huge salary hit.

So regardless whether I could learn Rails in a reasonable time or not, I remain stuck in my pigeon-hole (exception is if a new tech comes along like Elixir, where you have a chance at getting in the ground floor).
Can you give an example? I'm struggling to think of a language where that can't be worked around without bending the original code.

>The morality in America has slipped precipitously since our heyday as a nation in the 1950s.

Yea, the 1950's were really America's heyday (/s), while the rest of the world was blown up. I wonder if people in the 1920's were sipping on illegal booze at Gadsby's party thinking "man, the morality in america sure has taken a dive since the gilded age". Is your view so skewed by the media portrayal of the Jones' and white picket fences that you think America was some bastion of morality then? The morals established then were that woman couldn't own credit cards unless their husbands deemed it so, gays should be sent to sanitoriums to prevent the spread of their disease by showing nude pictures to other boys (Lavender Scare anyone?); it took 10+ years for some states to comply with Brown v The Board of Education. So how about you get your kids a history book and let them read that so they don't have to see the world through rose colored bigoted glasses.

edit. The more I think about this the more upset I am. HUAC, being able to LEGALLY beat your wife, this isn't even touching on African-American trials of the time. America was a fucking mess in the 1950's.
Is ETL really even necessary anymore? Why not just run fast ad hoc queries over the raw data with something like Google BigQuery?
Huh? Why are you suggesting that entertainment and cultural significance are two separate things? Entertaining things are culturally significant. Breaking Bad and Big Bang Theory are both culturally significant.

My point was "when was the last time they made something that would impact on someone's overall choice of TV provider?". The lack of either Big Bang Theory or Breaking Bad might make that choice for a person.
When we talk about "big" patches, it's probably worth examining full change sets. The changes for removing vacuuming are here [1]. Compare that to those for the "biggest" 9.5 feature, upsert [2] (by Peter Geoghegan) and you can see that there's probably at least a full order of magnitude difference in effort there.

That said, Postgres probably does have a problem in that there are too few people writing these major patches, but that number is greater than one.

I don't substantially disagree with you. I think we're making different points. What I'm trying to make the case for is that it is a meritocracy. Not that everyone has what it takes to deliver. The article claims that it's not actually a meritocracy; that the people who get ahead don't have unusual skills. I think they do, or at least more so than at any point in the past or other industries. Maybe they got them from upbringing or DNA or their parent's ability to have time off to teach them personally or whatever. But when most programmers make a lot of money it's because they were good at it.
Wow, if what you say is true, that's even more of a benefit for a language like Rust. Memory safety is awesome, but keeping the same performance while removing undefined behavior is huge.

Another question: how do "unsafe Rust" (ie. Rust inside unsafe blocks) and C compare in this sense? If satisfying the borrow checker for some bit of code is too hard, is writing in unsafe Rust better/safer than C?
On a logistical level alone, gentrification forcing lower income people into the periphery when the transit system is already overstretched is very bad.

Given how many surnames are occupational (Fletcher, Butcher, Smith) I'd suggest that historically your "rank, profession or occupation" (as the Victorian census put it) was a major part of "structure, meaning and belonging". Especially if you go back to the era of apprenticeship and guilds.

I do wonder whether the moving away from the "career for life" mould has some part to play in the ennui that so many modern people seem to feel. Certainly some of the life events I'm proudest of over the long term are achieving professional qualifications - for instance commissioning as a military officer. It is a standard that society recognises your having reached, carries a degree of prestige and helps give a sense of place in the world.

Yes, which is useful because it lets us work around bugs in Apple's own frameworks. (There is a trend with Swift to make everything more safe and enterprisey, as in JVM languages, though.)

But this isn't about calling private methods, it's about navigating the view hierarchy, which is possible in every GUI framework I've used so far.
This is really a front-end for jenkins to manage jobs, in a templatized way.

Everywhere I've worked, we've always ended up copying jenkins jobs from "known-good" jobs when we bring up a new project. If someone makes a change to a job, it can't be shared by all the jobs that are related, and I'd like to solve that.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Oh I agree with that a little, but that's another misunderstanding on his part. Basic income is meant as a minimum upon which you then build your own career. It's not really meant as welfare for the unemployed, that's just an added bonus.

Instead of working a crappy job that you hate, you can afford to find a job that you love, even if it's lower pay.

eg. If you're working for 15k units of money at a job you hate, under basic income you could keep on earning 15k + say 10k of UBI for total 25k. Or you could switch to 10k UBI + 5k salary at a job you love. The beauty of that system is that currently there are a whole class of jobs that really struggle to exist (like music/arts/etc.), because no-one can afford to work for only 5k a year. It also has an added benefit of improving those terrible jobs in the first place, as no boss can abuse his staff without them walking out (no unions needed!).

> People forget there were huge community marches in the 80s/90s crack epidemics with locals demanding police rid their towns of crack dealers.

People also forget why those dealers were in the business in the first place.

(Hint: the US government played a large role in explicitly financing the drug trade that resulted in a stead inflow of crack, predominantly to black communities[0]. Crack cocaine would not have been anywhere nearly as lucrative a business otherwise[1].)

[0] https://oig.justice.gov/special/9712/

[1] Which isn't to say that it's particularly lucrative either way, as has been demonstrated numerous times by economists - it just happens to be one of the few options available for many people who are trying to scrape together a living under those circumstances.

You don't even have to offload the processing to a server unless you're working with a compiled language. Python/ruby/node/any other interpreted language plus PostgreSQL, plus a text editor like atom, plus a couple browser tabs should all run together just fine on a chomebook. I was comfortable running a setup like that 5 years ago a single core 1.6ghz atom netbook. Nowadays my cell phone probably has enough raw horsepower to run all that, compatibility issues aside.
I don't know if that particular analogy holds up. Doesn't the FBI have a warrant for these iPhones? And wouldn't, given the FBI had a warrant for a code-locked safe, be able to solicit Acme Safe Inc for either the blueprints of the safe, or help in cracking it?

Not long ago I was shopping around for potential chat solutions for an app I wanted to develop, and I came across this project.

On the surface, the user-interface is not very polished. I'm not sure if this is intended to be an implementation detail of the consumer of this solution, bring-your-own-frontend style, or otherwise.

Additionally, the dependencies sound heavy. Express, Jade; PostgreSQL, Redis; socket.io, jQuery... Of course these are answers to real problems—api, views, persistent storage, a message cache, communication layer, a view layer. But the chances of me building anything on top of this or embedding it in another application are tiny because it already brings so much to the table.
