Or perhaps that has more to do with the fact that Catholicism is central to Mathew Murdock as a character, so it makes sense he isn't sleeping around given that premarital sex is a big no-no for Catholics. Also, we're only two seasons in, not three.

My understanding: Decriminalization is more sweepingly favorable to freedom for sex workers. Legalization tends to involve a lot of regulations. It is sometimes no better for sex workers than criminalizing it.

Decriminalization seems to be about making as few laws as possible concerning the matter. Legalization involves writing a bunch of laws about what you can and cannot do.

Based on the opinions of sex worker and political activist Dolores French, I have long been for decriminalization. If a legal adult wishes to take money for sexual services, I don't see why anyone should care.

If the company is hiring someone on-site in America, they should not be able to just circumvent local labor markets thanks to visa loopholes that were put in place by their crooked crony politicians.

That American company succeeded in part because of the infrastructure, security, and society that has been set up and paid for by American tax dollars.

Why should anyone support a system that lets companies take all the tax payer funded benefits of being based in America, yet gives nothing back in return (much like the current tax code)? If the employee is living in America, these companies should not be allowed to abuse the visa system.

The downvotes on this are baffling. Is it so hard to believe that poorly educated addicts are selling sex on the side and getting pregnant?

Just googling a little:
http://gradworks.umi.com/34/32/3432633.html

'''
The vast majority, 19 of the 20 participants, had been pregnant as a result of intimate partner, rape, and prostitution encounters. The risk of pregnancy was not a concern for most participants. Participants rarely used consistent contraception with either intimate partners or prostitution clients. Most pregnancies were unintended, irrespective of prostitution involvement.
'''

OK. Anecdotal, not random sampling, but it proves that "Just use contraception!" isn't a fair answer for whatever reason.

Anyway, the kids that are born to prostitutes are certainly not consenting and absolutely in a bad situation.
>What makes sexual labor so horrid?

It is a really effective way to spread some pretty terrible diseases.

And, no, condoms and dental dams etc aren't going to be full protection. There are some that are not routinely tested for and many people don't know about.

For example HTLV is a sexually transmitted virus that can stay dormant for decades before causing lymphoma all the while being passed to other people. In other instances it can lead to nerve damage. I wonder how many people have 'MS' when it is really just a nerve destroying virus nobody thought to test them for or that we haven't isolated yet...

And that is one that we happen to know about (but isn't commonly regarded). What about all of those diseases that we haven't discovered yet? They are out there.

Just because religion says its wrong doesn't mean it's not a bad idea. This is not an original idea but I think it is likely a lot of religious dogma comes from practical observation that was easier for observers to explain to lay-folk as the Will of God rather than as a probabilistic fact. It is dangerous to assume that people don't have a point because of the way that point is presented.

So is paying women less than men for the same work and designing jobs to be filled by a married man with a supportive wife. Women get devalued and exploited in a great many ways. This is hardly unique to sex work. And when sex work is illegal, it just makes it easier to exploit the sex workers. It doesn't protect them.
I believe the Bit Estimator example could be better:

int test(unsigned char a) {
short b = a; // b: 00000000________, a: ________
b <<= 4; // b: 0000________0000
b |= 3; // b: 0000________0011
return b != 0; // -> return true
}

The analyzer doesn't need any information about the two low bits of b to know b != 0. Had it been b ^= 3 instead of b |= 3, it would be a different matter.

> Objective-C was a modification of the GCC developed by NeXT.

No. Objective-C started out as a set of C Macros, then an actual pre-processor was created, mostly to deal with uniquing selectors. Once the pre-processor was there it was used to create actual syntax.

Documented in "Object Oriented Programming: An Evolutionary Approach".[1] Still one of the best books on OO out there, because it treats OO as an architectural style with tradeoffs relative to other styles, rather than as a religion to be accepted (or nowadays as the devil to be cast into hell).

It also clearly describes the deliberate hybrid style that seems to be mostly forgotten now: object largely implemented in C, but connected via dynamic messaging. "Software-ICs".

I am somewhat surprised by seeing the 1986 release date, I guess I must have gotten it pretty soon after it was published. Used it as a template to implement an Objective-C pre-processor + runtime + basic classes on my Amiga (had just gotten a C compiler for it).

One of the reasons I got a NeXT was because NeXTStep was largely implemented in Objective-C, which to me meant they "got" it. And it also meant I could enjoy programming in Objective-C without having to maintain my own :-)

I strongly disagree. "not smoking" is an action. "no smoking" is not an action. You cannot parse the sentence as allowing a specific action without replacing the word "no" with something else.

Prostitution is something that people get into out of desperation. The disconnect that people seem to have here is a "Pretty Woman"-ified view of prostitution; even in places where prostitution is decriminalized, people enter due to desperation and do not exit due to dependence.

There is no way to do the transaction in a safe environment as by nature you (nearly always a woman) are locking yourself in a room with someone who is likely larger and stronger than you (nearly always a man) who views your body and emotional output something they can buy.

The people who oppose the criminalization of purchasing sex via the Nordic Model make vague claims about stigma and 'shifting underground' but ignore the reality of the data: The Nordic model has been shown to reduce being hit with a fist (38%) and rape (48%) by significant amounts. Research done by anti-Nordic model researchers substantiates this, while claiming that an increase in reports of verbal abuse and hair pulling makes this a failure. From the report, we also see: “Most of the women who said they would seek help to protect against violence said that they called or threatened to call the police when they found themselves in a dangerous or threatening situation. This would often scare the customers, or others, who were acting threatening/violent away.” There was also an 80% reduction in prostitutes seeking help from emergency care. [1]

Also, claiming that people leaving your borders to break your laws constitutes a failure would be a great way to repeal age of consent laws in the US. Pedophiles just go on sexual tourism trips to places where the age of consent is lower -- but does that make the law unsuccessful?

Even if the law is placing the focus on johns, that doesn't mean that johns are the group that are designed to see the primary effects of the law. The Nordic model is very upfront about trying to minimize coercion, trafficking, and violence against women, and does so by providing exit programs for prostituted women and placing the burden of the law on those who purchase sex.

As a kid in that region (Portland, OR), we practiced earthquake drills in school and such, and we had a few smaller ones (I remember at least 1996 and 2001), so people who've been there long enough are at least aware of the possibility. And local building codes are written with the possibility in mind (earthquake strapping on foundations, etc). I do wonder, with all the population influx to the PNW lately, how well prepared the more recent arrivals would be...

Creating a new road is more expensive than any maintenance/entire repaving since it shouldn't need to be re-graded/piped/utilities dealt with/etc. Sunnyvale in California quotes a variety of prices for street maintenance up to reconstruction and none are over $7/sq foot.[1] And this is in California where constructions costs are usually high compared to the rest of the nation.

It's not easy, but it's possible. Everything is open source, and Cargo can easily be pointed at whatever host you want.

The feature that I'd like to see but haven't found the time to implement is delegation: "look at this index first, but if it's not here, go look at this other one". Right now, if you spin up your own crates.io and point Cargo at it, it won't have any packages... which works for some people, but not others.
Not the working population, simply the tax revenue.

You could theoretically have one robot producing trillions of $ and tax that one robot and pay for everything.

That's one of the reasons why everyone's obsessed with growth, if the economy grows, the tax budget goes up without tax rates going up so the country can afford to pay for more stuff.

Replacing logic with emotions or beliefs is one of the biggest flaws in law making around the world. Not much has changed in that regard except that we've accepted more scientific facts into our lives since the days of witch hunts. But there's still too much science ignored or discarded in favor of beliefs to make laws.

That's not correct - prostitution is fully legal here in New Zealand. Sex workers are covered by sex-work specific occupational health and safety regulations, pay taxes on their income, have government-mandated workplace conditions, can get insurance against workplace injury, etc. It really is "just another job", apart from societal stigma (which is gradually declining too).

See:

I think you're underestimating humanity's sex drive. It's called "the oldest profession" for a reason. Making something so inherent to us "as difficult and dangerous as possible" demonstrably does not stop prostitution, which continues even in places where there are harsh physical penalties for it.

Here in Melbourne, I think they've got the right answer. Brothels are perfectly legal and get government inspectors, but street prostitution is illegal. Basically it's a regulated industry, and the form of prostitution that's subject to the bulk of the problems is the banned one. It's a bit like the War on Drugs, where almost everyone agrees that legalisation and regulation is a better answer to the ills of drugs than blanket bans.

> "... family pressure to euthanize is a major practical concern..."

Agreed, and this is one of my major reservations about euthanasia. I still think it is overall for the best, but this aspect absolutely needs monitoring. I can only hope that better social services and support help reduce the financial burden on families (which is often one of the biggest reasons for pressure). The emotional aspect, of course, is another story.

> "The point is actually that there is no distinction between taking your life own or someone else's."

Here I have to disagree. Only one of these is an action on one's own body (which one should have relative autonomy). I think consent is absolutely key -- personally, I'm not opposed to the idea of legalizing dueling, as long as we have adequate societal safeguards against it. We don't outright ban other dangerous things that could end up killing people (tobacco, alcohol, free climbing...)

> "The cure ... is worse than the disease."

This is not a determination I am comfortable making for anyone else. Unless there is significant societal/family pressure which means that people are not making this choice themselves, I think they should have that right. If there is extensive pressure, there should be safeguards against that, as opposed to banning the practice?

I see a similar kind of argument in the anti-abortion debate -- there are folks who wouldn't opt for it themselves, but want others to have that right, while others feel that it should be banned for everyone because it is overall a societal ill.

I realise that this is a different question, but is this the kind of angle you are coming from?

> ... not the patient defines what constitutes "misery".

In the long run, it should absolutely be the patient who determines what constitutes misery and makes the choice. Unfortunately, there is entirely too much risk of it being used as a way for society to ignore people we should be helping ("if we wait long enough, maybe they'll just go away") for it to be practical to use it that way yet.

Terminally ill patients are a relatively well-defined set where there is less risk of society starting to ignore the problem (I don't see interest in cancer research drying up just because of this option), so it seems like a reasonable place to start?

The hash is generated from the onion services's private key.

Edit: I'm wrong. It's based on the hash of the public key. But it's rather confusing. After you create an onion service, you get a private key and an onion address. You don't actually get a public key, just the hostname based on it. I suspect that the public key could be found somehow. But it's not used for anything, that I know of.
