>T-Mobile's coverage has gotten significantly better...

Can't argue that in the main that's true, unfortunately due to construction where I am downtown my T-Mobile service has dropped off considerably and it's useless where I spend my weekends. They've also shifted customer policy recently and don't try as hard to retain customers - in my case refusing to refund a couple of months of excess billing that was their fault. Previous mistakes were corrected with apologies that bordered on the obsequious.

Needless to say I won't be a TMO customer much longer. But I'll take a free share of stock on the way out.
There was a massive (relatively speaking) emigration of Canadians (apparently mostly Canadiens français) in the late 19th and early 20th centuries[1]. The estimates for the period are of about 160K to 800K (including descendants) Canadians living in the USA, most of them living in the North-East, and most of them of French descent. An American census of 1870 counted about 160K in New England.

It's hard to get accurate numbers, but there definitely was a substantial number of emigrants.

Pretty sure you can develop use and distribute addons outside of the chrome store.
You mean, the irony that the names are short, but mountains of code are dedicated to getting string handling in C, and still getting some of it wrong?
Yes what we should do is complain that people are starting to use side streets because no one plans on increased traffic when developers and homeowners are building mega suburbs. If you want sub-urban sprawl, but don't want to invest in infrastructure then your street should be over run with commuters.
It's not about being competent enough to implement it properly. Microsoft's BitLocker is surely implemented just as competently. But because of their ubiquity, these are the most likely to have government-mandated backdoors in them that Apple/Microsoft employees are not allowed to tell you about because of gag orders.

The argument here as indicated above is much more important than copyright issues.

semi-convoluted analogy time!

I want to start off with a statement of empathy and understanding for people who have their name slandered online when someone reviews their shop/eatery. Now lets say someone comes onto that shops site, and leaves a bitter unsightly comment, I don't think anyone would argue that they are within their right to delete that from their site, as much as they could leave it up and respond to it at their discretion.

Now lets say, that someone comes onto your site, and leaves a comment about this persons shop. your site could be a review site, or just a general discussion site. Either way, when the shop owner comes to you and asks you to remove the comment, you have every right to do so, or to decide not to.

If I see someone come along and FORCE someone (you) to take down a review or comment, I would be very upset about that. I mean, its not my site, but when I see your rights get trampled on, even though I empathize with the trampler, I have to take your side on this.

All this to say, people who take obvious black and white issues and use those to further their agenda do not reserve the right to be unchallenged in process.

We all agree that killing people is terrible, but we don't all agree that abortion is wrong. We all agree that giving to people is great, but we don't all buy into a universal basic income. We all agree copyright protection is there for the artist, and that stealing things is bad, but some people think that the argument of what constitutes data you can control and can't has farther reaching consequences than piracy.
Thanks for the reality check. Come to think of it, I met a Japanese duo during a vacation. They were young, and traveled by land from Vietnam as far as Kenya at the time I met them. They were very careful with money and didn't spend a lot. They hitchhiked through the Sudan on a freight truck. Wow!

That is not something I would ever do, but I will criticize people for falling for the cynical belief that only the rich can have a good life.
Ha ha, I walked right into that. Well played.
> Ironically, I think a lot of Java's abstraction pain comes from having much more fixed behavior.

Fixed behavior isn't necessarily a bad thing. What is always a bad thing is when types don't accurately capture what your program really means. Java's own collections documentation says:

“To keep the number of core interfaces small, the interfaces do not attempt to capture such subtle distinctions as mutability, modifiability, and resizability. Instead, certain calls in the core interfaces are optional, enabling implementations to throw an `UnsupportedOperationException` to indicate that they do not support a specified optional operation. Collection implementers must clearly document which optional operations are supported by an implementation.”

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/colle...

In Java, this API design style is the norm rather than the exception, which validates the criticism coming form dynamic language advocates: “You still need to use tests, so why bother with types?” The only way forward is to use types in a way that actually eliminates the need for (some) nontrivial tests.

At the core, the fundamental problems with Java are:

(0) Its type system is too nominal. Every notion, primitive or derived, needs a separate name. The result is that making crisp distinctions takes more effort than programmers are willing to make. In a structurally typed system, a derived notion is just a combination or more basic ones, whether you give the combination a name or not.

(1) It doesn't offer a principled way to express that an operation can naturally have multiple kinds of results. And such operations abound in practice! For example, if you try to get the value associated with a key in a container, the key might or might not be there. Or, if you try to get the i-th element of a list (assume 0-based indexing and nonnegative i for the sake of the example), then i is either a valid index or j positions after the end of the list. None of these possible results is intrinsically “wrong”, but Java can only express operations with one kind of correct result.
Comments here need to be civil and substantive. Yours was neither. That's more than "tone".

I'm sure there's a civil, substantive way to make your point.

Sure. But LA's increasingly frequent and widespread gridlock also has serious negative effects.

Having government impose some new orderly process on a chaotic and inefficient transportation market (i.e. freeways) is not necessarily worse than the status quo.

LA is grappling with a serious mess. It's affecting the business climate significantly. People can't reliably and predictably get to their place of work. The unpleasant side effects are already here.
I think I addressed most of your concerns:

> Plaintiffs can also establish to the Court the Defendant is actively evading service, but there are many legitimate reasons one can't serve a Defendant. Still, even in the event of defaults the Courts will readily Vacate (set aside) default judgments in circumstances including, but not limited to: 1. improper service; and/or 2. defenses on the merits.

>I don't think assuming papers served always get to the right person is a fair assumption.

It is a fair assumption, because that is what the rules require, and your friend or any other process server must sign an affidavit under oath and penalty of perjury for the exact steps they took to serve a party. Now assumptions be damn, you are right service won't always be done properly, but I mention safeguards such as a Motion to Vacate Default Judgments for lack of proper service.

>He doesn't have to check ID, so someone could say they were the person, he would hand it over, and be done with it. That person might never hand the papers to the right person.

Because you used right person you may or may not be acknowledging the fact that the actual party (defendant) in not necessarily the right person to serve or the only person who can be served to qualify as valid service of process. For example, if I sue a company I don't generally serve the company I serve their Registered Agent (ironically from time to time the Registered Agent is the same company as the defendant); more generally I can serve anyone residing at the defendants residence who is over 15 years old (FL rule); or I can serve a defendant's employer instead of the defendant.

agreed that my usage of the term slander was loose, not legal, more along the laymen's usage. I simply meant that it is a negative claim of the target.

As you've said its not slander unless proven false.
"Granted, it would take a big program to eradicate poverty in the U.S. According to economist Matt Bruenig’s calculations, it would cost $175 billion."

Is that a correct figure? It's hardly that large and there's no excuse for us not spending it to end poverty if it is.

True, but it is important to clarify that nobody right now is proposing to force companies to ship to other EU member states if they don't want to -- making the elimination of website blocking and the obligation to accept e.g. all EU credit cards/billing addresses that is on the agenda a lot less consequential in practice.

Awesome viz! Would like some perspective on the overall volume, too. Maybe add a bar chart above the timeline/slider showing total immigration in each year? Maybe even alongside a graph of total US population growth so it's clear how much of the growth is due to immigration.

Internet of Things in a sociological perspective
I know more than a few poor people, and the one thing they all have in common, is that they either consciously or by virtue of their personalities or aptitude, do not treat maximizing financial impact as the primary criterion in their decision making.

And I would venture that in general, this group of people thinks running around, chasing money 'cause the man says it's important, is a sad way to live your life.
I wonder how much time it really saves you, too. My experience with all sorts of apps like this (including Waze, although I haven't used it in a couple of years) is that they tend to underestimate the speed of heavy traffic, and overestimate speeds of small streets. They especially seem to discount or even completely ignore the potentially large time costs that come from stoplights, stop signs, and left turns.

These days, if my system has me get off the main road, take small streets for a while, then get back on the main road, I'll ignore it unless the traffic it shows is really, really bad. Occasionally I regret this, but I regret it less often than I regretted obeying the machine before.
Try searching for "The Intellisis Corporation"

This is really not a good comparison as, unless MurderBay specifically seeks out assassins/murders to make postings offering their services or specifically encourages users to request said services, then it is no different than any other communication website.

MurderBay technically already exists in the form of Craigslist, Backpage, and other more local classified posting sites. Whether they be jokes or serious offers/requests, postings for murder, drugs, human-trafficking, and prostitution occur hourly on legal websites, many hosted within the US. Backpage in particular has been targeted by human rights groups as it has had multiple cases where human trafficking and child pornography were arranged/traded through the site. The website, to my knowledge, was compliant with law enforcement to the degree required by law, and the sites still exist to this day.

The reason is that, like with other websites that collect user submitted content, as long as the operators are compliant with the law in regards to the content, they're not liable in the way most people think.

So no, unless MurderBay is seeking out assassins and murders, you should not expect law enforcement to take it down. You probably can expect quite a few phonecalls and emails though. Likewise, unless ThePirateBay is seeking out pirated content and pirate groups, it should not be expected that it be taken down.
> The problem is that this is not a factual argument but more an emotional argument.

Most of the arguments against systemd are emotional arguments.
The stress-caused-by-poverty narrative feels plausible to me but I'd like to see more evidence.

Scott Alexander recently posted this study [0] that seems to show that stress is not linked to poverty:

> socioeconomic status has no relationship to hair cortisol level
> which complicates theories about how many body systems are
> affected by “the stress of poverty” since we might expect hair cortisol
> level to be an indicator of biological stress levels.

On the other hand, a couple of years ago I lost access to my bank accounts for 2 months, and I will say it was a fairly stressful experience, and did force me into situations where I made what I would generally consider bad economic choices.

Is it true that this increased the value of some homes at the expense of others? At least in Portland, where similar measures (though less widespread) have diverted auto traffic away from certain streets, they haven't diverted auto traffic away from one neighborhood street onto another--rather, the goal is to push auto traffic onto particular streets designed to carry high traffic volumes. People don't rent an apartment on a commercial street to avoid traffic, so I doubt that affects property values there very much--plus, since these are higher volume roads to begin with, it's a relatively small increase in traffic.

Not to mention that proximity to these streets is a valuable amenity, even if you don't live directly on them--after all, if you'd like to ride or walk around town with your kids, it will be very nice to have a bike/pedestrian-friendly street nearby.

I've been working in the Ethereum space for a year and a half, so I know my perspective is warped, but I really don't think the learning curve is that bad any more. Solidity isn't a very complicated language and has decent documentation[0], and Truffle[1] and TestRPC[2] can get you writing automated tests against a simulated blockchain more or less instantly.

It's still relatively early days, and there is a lot more work to do in making this stuff as friendly as possible, but progress has been pretty rapid.

I find your comment in poor taste, but I'll bite because it's kind of interesting.

I'd recommend watching The Perfect Murder[0] documentary, although what they detail isn't exactly practical. Less than 15% of murder is committed by strangers [1].

I think if you aren't caught directly after the initial act, you don't have any relation to the victim and no DNA is left, your chances of "getting away" is relatively high.

Your comments on a "malfunctioning car" are misguided, given that any fatal automobile accident, provided the reason the driver "crashed" is not apparent, will result in someone looking at the car to see WHY it malfunctioned. A cut brake line or similar would obviously scream foul play.

Postpaid plans can be pretty easily upsold on other non-minutes/non-data expendables (like upgrading a phone), which then further help to 'lock in' customers. Although I think most of all is just the history of how the phone industry has evolved its plans: postpaid is an evolution of contracts, so everyone sees it as a more consistent flow than prepaid (which has the legacy of burner phones/plans; that $40 this month does not guarantee $40 next month in the way that postpaid plans do).
The same logic applies to non-dead-ends if only people who live in the neighborhood use them. That's why people don't want "their" neighborhood streets used as cut-throughs.

Maybe poverty is somewhat like a biological niche -- guaranteed to be occupied as long as human life remains a struggle for resources with other people who may be much smarter than you. In that sense, you can hardly blame the poor for occupying that niche. It's just human beings having their best shot at life under rather difficult circumstances.
