Class represents how income is accrued.

The working class, as the name implies, earn their money by working. The upper class make their money through investments. The middle class fall in between. They make part of their income by working and part of their income through investments.

The practical implications are that if the working class stop working, they can no longer make ends meet. The middle class have the opportunity to stop working for periods of time, but not indefinitely. The upper class can survive without ever lifting a finger.
In the U.S. it certainly is, as long as you're not discriminating against one of a short whitelist of protected classes (homeless isn't on that list). I don't know the law in Italy. Do you, or are you just speculating?

haha - touché, point taken :-)

Deadlines seem like a great excuse for compromising quality. Sure, life is complicated, the boss is demanding, the mortgage has to be paid, the children need to be supported etc. etc. but compromising quality and enthusiasm (they usually are correlated) because of the "terror" of a deadline will just leave you at the mercy of the next "terror", only this time you'll even have even less enthusiasm to fix the spaghetti. Doesn't sound like an enjoyable existence.

Of course, very few people have the privilege of never having to compromise, but it's never black or white and there are many more degrees of freedom to choose the path with more quality than are implied.

>"The advantages and limitations", what works and what doesn't, "areas to avoid" are precisely the point of that kind of review.

The "area to avoid" in the review is Node.js and considering that large and impressive projects have been written in it, it seems that this is another case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
From memory I think Germany is one of those countries.

It's not what some people imagine, though: when you break out of jail you will still be wanted for your original crime, and when caught have to continue your sentence. And while the act of breaking out isn't punishable by itself, theft, property damage, assault etc committed in order to break out is still punishable.

The human desire to be free is acknowledged and not punished, but that doesn't interfere with the punishment of crimes.

Who decides if a person is truly starving and homeless, or just acting it to get free food?
Even if it were - which is, for the aforementioned reasons, doubtful - it would not be worth turning over the medical records of 50M people to an unregulated private company without so much as a by-your-leave.
Exactly, I was simply trying to elaborate on emodendroket's point to point out the flaw in nosotrue's logic. Sorry if I didn't make this clear enough.
The way the judges worded this decision makes it a lot less of a slippery slope. This was only accepted because it was an "Immediate and essential need for nourishment." I expect that if more people started stealing, they'd be put through a court process to prove that they were in this condition.

What this doesn't do is fix the problem though, it just recognizes a symptom. Why are these people forced to resort to stealing?
If society has failed people so badly that they're starving in the streets, they should probably expect riots let alone petty theft.
That makes sense morally but are there actually starving people in first world nations? There are food banks, shelters, and churches that provide food, at least in America.
Europeans (DHH for example) constantly brag about what great social safety nets the European countries provide for their people, and that US style charities are a waste. Implying charity money should be given to the government as tax money and let the state do their work instead.

Italy has just admitted that it can't take care of its citizens' basic needs. I'm not saying it's time to eat crow, but I am saying it's time to realize that both systems have flaws and there's no reason to get righteous about one approach over another.
Any bill to introduce UBI would almost certainly have to include the elimination of existing programs to get passed.

I don't dispute that many liberals would like to have UBI and the existing benefits (despite that being economically crippling). They're just extremely unlikely to get their way.
IMO, "not a crime" doesn't mean it isn't reprehensible. The article doesn't go into details unfortunately.
Yes. Why not? When they do, it'll cause rent to drop in San Fran, NYC, DC and Seattle. The US has a staggering amount of available land. The problem with real estate is that prices are high where the jobs are located. With basic income you no longer have to live where the jobs are and can move around freely.
I still don't understand why those who believed this guy didn't just ask him to move a single satoshi from one of the early accounts known to be associated with Satoshi. No elaborate crypto required for that... just a publicly-verifiable display of ownership. This could turn out to be quite embarrassing for Andresen.
As the bible says
http://www.bibleserver.com/text/ESV/Deuteronomy23%2C25

Stealing food is okay sometimes. There's even a word in German for it Mundraub.
If you're gonna force business owners to give to the poor, why not do it through an established and equitable mechanism like taxation/redistribution, instead of subjecting select types of business owners to the whims of a mostly subjective claim? Why force the burden on a bakery but not a tailor or a chocolatier?

I can't help but be concerned about this growing trend of governments slowly pushing off the burden of general welfare onto businesses. You see it in the US with health care being the responsibility of the employer, affordable housing mandates on real estate developers, and minimum wage increases in expensive areas. All of these "solutions" to poverty have huge unintended consequences, even if they partially address the problem. The problem of poverty isn't solved by forcing businesses to be compassionate, it is solved by governments doing their fucking job and taxing everybody equitably to do so.

Slightly related, throwing food away and the expiration date is a tricky thing.

My dad works at grocery store and initially, they were allowed to bring the food home once it expires for a symbolic cost (10% of the price or something). Soon after that, the employees started to hide food so that they can take it home almost for free. So it didn't last long.
The problem is that if you stumble upon three of these different requirement sites that break with your Two Step Authentication process as described in the article, you're going to forget about this rule.
It's not just military history, but other 'dead white guy' topics like Classical history (see Victor Davis Hansen). Most blame 'liberalization' to some degree, e.g. Vietnam making military topics less 'glorious', but I think the real reason is the rapid growth of universities since the 50's. There are probably the same absolute number of military historians as there were in 1920, but there was a tremendous growth in non-traditional historical fields as schools had to quickly add new classes and departments to keep up with the demand cause by increased attendance.
In fact having committed fraud and evaded Tax would make you more qualified to be Satoshi.
Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

Proverbs 6:30-31
To quote the article, the court ruled the way it did because he took those things "in the face of the immediate and essential need for nourishment". Having a craving in the supermarket is not the same thing.
Your beer versus water question works for food as well. Will there be difference of opinion by the law if the starving man steals bread versus steak?

The tax, or charity for that matter, to feed the poor is something that works quite well in many areas of the world, even in the evil capitalistic systems.
If you subsidise people so they don't need to accept "crappy jobs" then it distorts the market instead of making it more "free" because now a potential worker with fewer skills valued by the market doesn't need to make his living by taking a job that is adequate for his level of education/skills.

> If those crappy jobs are necessary, they will have to improve, either by making the jobs more fun or interesting, or increasing the pay.

You make this sound as if an employer simply can raise the pay of his employees without taking into account the realities of the market.

Some services or products are worth less precisely because there is no customer available willing to pay more for it.

I see the good intention but I don't see it working out well for businesses. Maybe it will work in Italy? I know it would be a $h!t show here in Seattle.
I'm speculating based on the rules in Finland, assuming they would be quite similar in Italy. In Finland a store may not choose their customers based on a broad criteria (such as age, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation or other reason related to the person). I'm sure being poor would be included in this list. Badly behaving customers can be expelled.
66% of the United States is overweight and obese. Yet these people will complain they are "hungry" even after they've hit the calories proscribed by their Basal Metabolism Rate (usually at breakfast).

They're not stealing from the 'expired food' area.

Expired food in many countries ends up in food pantries as the date for canned and dried food has more to do with freshness/taste than actual health issues. So its already being socialized.
Or even better, implement the system that is starting to decent success in many areas; mandate that stores hand over still edible foods they would normally throw away due to standard business practices.
Italy is falling apart, financially speaking. The people of Italy are suffering as a result.

Nearly 50% of bank loans are non-performing (in default). The EBC is conducting a stealth bailout via Target2. Just look at the major Italian bank stocks. They are trading at deep, deep discounts. Maybe the market knows something the EBC and others don't want to admit?
I think there is a fundamental difference between different law systems - I'm assuming Italy is roman-style civil law, while you are probably expecting Anglo-Saxon style common law. This means that that case is not setting a precedent, it is merely ruling that the particular case is not going to be penalized.
Fascinating:

"The Attitude Control System (ACS) began using the Star Tracking (STT) system data to control the position of the satellite. The STT at this point should have updated another position monitoring system, the Inertial Reference Unit (IRU). This may not have occurred.

"...High energy particles may have disrupted the onboard electronics.

"The STT and IRU disagreed on the attitude of the satellite. In this case the IRU takes priority, but its data apparently was wrong, reporting a rotation rate of 20 degrees per hour, which was not occurring. The satellite attempted to stop this erroneous rotation using reaction wheels. The satellite configuration information uploaded earlier was wrong and the reaction wheels made the spin worse.

"The satellite now went into “Safe Hold” mode and thrusters were called upon to stop the rotation. Using the same erroneous configuration information they increased the spin further causing the satellite’s rotation to exceed design parameters."
I'm also a Lastpass user, and while the service is near to flawless, I keep thinking that the UI is really bad. I wish they could work on that.
It could work without causing chaos. We already accept that some special circumstances can make you innocent of a crime (e.g. killing in self-defence).

But if you stab someone in self-defence you can still expect to be arrested and possibly put on trial. The onus is on you to prove you did it in self-defence.

Surely this could be treated the same? It doesn't mean that stealing food has been decriminalised. You'll still be arrested if caught, and you have to prove you were truly desperate.

The risk of this approach, I fear, is that it could be exploited by clever lawyers as a loophole for people who aren't really all that poor. The truly poor won't be able to afford a lawyer.
Until 1975 German law had a Mundraub [1] (theft for the mouth) clause (§ 248a Abs. 2 StGB a.F.). It was concerned with the theft of small amounts of food for
immediate consumption, like eating an apple from your neighbor's garden.

"All out" is relative. "All out to an Olympian means the "brink of death" or (220+ heartbeats per minute) and none of these people went all out for a whole minute; it was 20-seconds, three times.

"...volunteers warmed up for two minutes on stationary bicycles, then pedaled as hard as possible for 20 seconds; rode at a very slow pace for two minutes, sprinted all-out again for 20 seconds; recovered with slow riding for another two minutes; pedaled all-out for a final 20 seconds; then cooled down for three minutes. The entire workout lasted 10 minutes, with only one minute of that time being strenuous. ..."

The only "Randian attitude" towards the poor is that no one should be forced to help them. This case is mandating that shops help poor people regardless of whether or not they want. It's a clear violation of property rights.

Helping hungry people is a fine thing to do, as long as it's optional.

>I lost 40 lbs after high school by working out

Nice work. Please don't take this the wrong way, but it should be noted for anyone struggling to lose weight: Weight loss is 99% diet (calories in, calories out).

Work out all day long, but if you're at a caloric surplus, you're going to gain weight. Never work out, but eat less than you burn, and you'll lose weight.

That said, there are countless benefits to regular exercise, so don't overlook it.
Surprisingly (to me at least) scaling single threaded code to multiple CPUs is actually very easy: just spawn the node process N times (using cluster, naught, pm2 or similar project) and that's it.
But this is from the BBC, and in Britain we routinely prosecute (sometimes privately) people who shoplift food.

There are cases of homeless people who stole a pint of milk from a doorstep, and who left some money, being prosecuted for theft.
Stop calling us "children." It's offense and rude. How very convenient that the cutoff of adulthood is your own age—if you're going to insult vast numbers of functional adults, at least insult yourself in the process. Silly child.

Second of all, if you think that adulthood isn't reached until 25, why would you be advocating for reinforcing this supposed infantilization?

Actually, when you think of it, maybe it's better to legalize stealing than establishing a government agency in charge of equitable redistribution. I would imagine stealing would work more efficiently and more fairly. (You see a problem and you say: Hey, let's establish a government agency to solve that problem. Now you have two problems.)

>You'll still get arrested and put through a lengthy trial process if you're caught stealing food.

Lets say, I'm an Italian businessman. I have a vending machine that costs 5,000 euros. Your feel good ruling told all the drug addicts they could smash it for the snacks inside. You arrest them and whether or not you convict them doesn't matter to me because I'm out 5,000 euros now and the government isn't going to reimburse me. I can't sue them because they have no assets.

So yes, there are social consequences here that are not address by the court system.

They certainly can choose their customers by placing themselves in a geographic location where only certain customers can easily access.
I see. There is no such rule in the U.S., although a lot of people mistakenly assume there is one. So I thought you might just be mistaken. I'm not sure whether the law in Italy is more similar to the U.S., or to Finland.

Turns out a tax evader is a fraud. That is a conman. So it does actually turn out to be relevant here. If he lies about other things (taxes, degrees, etc.) why wouldn't he lie about this? If someone was really blackmailing him to come out because he is the real Satoshi (as he said in the BBC video) then wouldn't they want him to show true undeniable proof?

Could have been lower, but they'd just pour that money into opening more store locations. They're currently the largest employee-owned supermarket chain in the USA and they only operate in a couple states.
I replied in the other comment already, but at least in Finland a store can't simply choose their customers. If it's a store, by default everyone is allowed to shop there. I would expect most of Europe to follow similar rules.
I'm not saying that Node.js is bad and shouldn't be used. Rails was in the exact same boat several years ago; everything was changing so quickly that new people on the scene had to work pretty hard to keep up. Being on the other side of that process with Node.js, I can now understand the Rails newbie's frustration. :)

If you are comfortable with the constant change and evolution in a platform/language/framework, then by all means continue to use it. Just don't disparage people that come forward and point out the pains they have and say that everything is fine. Just my $0.02.
I'm not very familiar with Italian law, but my understanding is that Italian legal system is based on civil law and hence rulings in legal cases are normally not binding precedents, that is, another judge in another case is free to rule differently. Only the Parliament has legislative authority.
