Actually, it is.
You choose to live in a country that has a constitution. You abide by that constitution.
Like any sane government, you can change that constitution. That's "consent of the governed".

But saying "things that people have consented to in the past, that i have not, are not binding upon me, and therefore taxation is theft" makes no sense. The world existed before you were born. You can leave the country at any time.
Both of them are big deals. Landing on the Moon was a historic event, the first (and unfortuately one of the few) time a human being stepped onto something that is not the earth. That is a one-time historic landmark to be listed in history books from now on.

Landing rocket boosters is a very big deal in practical terms as this should reduce the cost of going to space to a point where it becomes more accessible. The shuttle was an attempt to achieve the same, but while being a technological marvel, it failed to reduce costs (quite the contrary) and was abandoned. Everyone else so far at best managed to keep the cost of one-time use rockets low, but SpaceX should have a break-through there, and that is why this matters so much.

Fortunately we're not talking about normal people, and the rules are different. If you keep using your simplistic, incorrect model of theft, you'll keep coming to incorrect conclusions about the world.

Taxation is done with consent? I beg to differ.
Wait, what?

You can determine that this woman is a bad wife on the basis that she spends a few minutes talking to her dogs when she first gets home? Give me a fucking break.

Edit: Calling herself mentally unstable and suggesting that her partner should chastise her and that she deserves to be locked in American cheese hell for being a dog lover is obviously a joke.

As for running sick to the bathroom, passing out, cracking her ribs on the bathtub on the way down, and spewing bloody diarrhea all over the floor... that doesn’t make her a bad spouse, only a sick one. I’m sure her husband was far more concerned about her health and safety than he was about cleaning up shit, and I’m sure she would do the same for him.
But raising their wages won't increase the number of houses in the region, will it? The pigeonhole principle will still cause exactly as many problems as it is now.
Okular is by far the best PDF app on any platform. It supports annotations, margin trimming, overriding colors and other accessibility options. For heavy PDF users, Okular alone is worth the switch to Linux and KDE.

So does regex matching break up paired surrogates? It seems like Java Characters can be from the higher planes. JS treats surrogates as their own kind of character, but I think Java only does this for unpaired surrogates, so the encoding is still multibyte. ICBW.

"In the US, the government derives its rights from the consent of the governed"

Collective consent requires unanimity. If you don't have that to begin with, then you don't have consent to consitutional amendments or what have you.

If you want to argue for government, argue on pragmatic grounds, social contract theory or "the consent of the governed" is a joke.
Thanks. That led me to:

I didn't say she was a bad wife; just that he sounds like he is a better partner.

> That’s when I notice my husband. He missed Mommy, too. But my husband doesn’t yell WHAT THE HELL? at me like he should. He doesn’t smirk. He doesn’t roll his eyes. I am clearly unstable, but he makes no sounds to this effect. Instead, he hugs me and smiles and says, “How was your day, baby?” He acts like he doesn’t even notice that I should be locked away forever and ever in some bad, drafty place that serves only American cheese.

Did you read the article?
The top comment in this thread made as much a dismissal and attack of the lifestyle described in the fine article, as your comment's parent was on the platform the top comment's author makes a living supporting.

That is, it is equally legitimate — or illegitimate — for someone to call another person's lifestyle "positively abominable" as it is for a third person to be all, "Eww, WordPress," at the first.

In fact, I'm pretty sure highlighting that fact was the point of that comment.

The Uber Pool prices are still obviously fake - it's half the price of UberX for the same long trip even at 4am when nobody else gets in the car. Lyft Line is a discount but a much smaller one.
The husband is the "better partner" because he indulges his wife's idiosyncratic way of greeting the dogs?

And why shouldn't he be unhappy about finding his wife passed out, with cracked ribs? Should he be complaining at her for having been sick and fallen? Because, as far as I can tell, you seem to think she did that just to inconvenience her poor, long-suffering, hen-pecked husband.

It's life, dude. Shit — sometimes literally — happens. Keeping score over that kind of thing is a pretty much guaranteed ticket to misery, IMO.
I didn't choose to be born in this country. I never gave my consent.

You seem pretty confident. But you're wrong. There are countless barriers to exit, especially if you are poor. Even if I could leave, there is no viable stateless territory on which I can live.

See my comment above.
It's not theft because it is part of the constitution.
The constitution was enacted by the people, not by a random force-bearing entity that is beating you up.

Yes, it happened in the past.
But the consent doesn't expire until people change the constitution (anything else is insane, as you could never form a government of any sort).

Until then, those are the rules of the country, and living here means abiding by them.

The argument that "i didn't vote on this personally and therefore i did not consent" is not sane. It may be a sane argument before say, age of majority. Even then you could be emancipated and leave. But once you hit age of majority, you are consenting by staying.
Note that in basically every legal system that has ever existed, you are also consenting by exercising any other rights.
Like any contract, you don't get to pick and choose what parts you consent too, you can either ratify the document as a whole and adopt the contract or not.

But note: If you don't, this is the same document that enables folks to have the power to make it illegal for people to murder you, and enforce that, so ...
Good point. Coinbase by nature has to walk a line between two communities very much at odds with each other.

There is an onus on the bitcoin community to get more people to accept bitcoin directly as payment. Companies like coinbase could help that process along in theory, but they'll have to keep walking this line while they grow.

Yes, again, it's with the consent of the people as a collective, which is a pretty good system that we have not seen fit to radically change.

The phrase "taxation is done with consent" uses consent to mean "the collective's continuous consent", due to the understanding that the collective is capable of changing the system if they deem it important enough. But I think you knew that already and are playing dumb as some kind of rhetorical strategy.

> if the state's constitution says it can tax you by definition

I wasn't aware that the state defines what is just and what is not. Does that mean that there are no unjust laws?
Yeah, that could work. You don't even need a full index array, it can be a binary datastructure (I am reminded of how skip lists work), e.g. you start off with just one index for the halfway point and fill in things afterwards. There are lots of optimizations you could do.

I'm a bit wary of this because I fear indexing in Python is currently used more than this scheme can handle (i.e. too much for it to be considered a win), if erroneously. I'm not too sure. I certainly have written bad python code using indexing in the past, but that's just me (and many years ago).

Was tickled by the allegory that could be made, upon reading this from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinn:

> The Quran says that the jinn were created from a smokeless and "scorching fire", but are also physical in nature, being able to interact in a tactile manner with people and objects and likewise be acted upon. The jinn, humans, and angels make up the three known sapient creations of God. Like human beings, the jinn can be good, evil, or neutrally benevolent and hence have free will like humans.

"Collective consent requires unanimity."

Says who?
There are many forms of collective consent and decision making.

Your parents parents parents parents parents (or whatever) consented either by exercising rights in the document (adoption/ratification), voting for it, or heck, choosing to remain knowing what the rules would be.
You get your chance to not consent by choosing to not remain if you like.
that's the point
No, I'm saying that being nice and fixing systemic problems are different things that can often work not just orthogonally but oppositionally. It's not enough of an effect that it'd even cross my radar for being nice to bus drivers, waiters, store clerks, etc. It is enough that I ignore panhandlers, particularly aggressive ones.

The basic moral foundation of most anarchist philosophy is universal. States do nasty things such as wars, theft, murder, violence, torture, jailing, spying, destruction, etc. If you apply a universal moral standard these things are still considered wrong, even if an organization called a 'state' is doing it. Even if many people believe it's ok for this organization to do it. It doesn't matter when a moral standard is universal.

A good way to think of anarchists are pacifists. Pacifists think all violence is universally wrong. Most people are not pacifists although and feel like violence is OK in some instances. Many of these non-pacifists would also agree in an ideal world that pacifism is what humanity should follow. But they recognize they don't live in an ideal world and thus are not pacifists.

Anarchists are really the political equivalent of pacifists. No force or coercion is ever acceptable in any circumstance is the basic foundation of anarchism, everything must be voluntary.

So according to that political philosophy taxation is still theft or extortion, just like self defense is still violence and soldiers killing in war is still murder to a pacifist.
I happen to like the UI. It's not for everyone, admittedly, esp. people coming from PS, but it can modified and rearranged. ATM, my Gimp UI is a single window will all the tools nicely arranged on the left side and only containing the most-used tabs. There are only 6 or 7 tabs you'll use 99% of the time anyways.
Other people can't consent for me. That's not real consent. You can call it consent, but it's really just an excuse. There's no court that would uphold that in any other context. The state doesn't get a special exemption from definitions just because.

> which is a pretty good system that we have not seen fit to radically change

Slavery was "a pretty good system". Any action the state takes can be justified using this line of reasoning.
The constitution defines what it just. Laws can be unjust.
The entire point of having elephants at the circus is to see elephants.

Any other place doesn't have the literal geographic barriers to construction that the Bay Area does, or Prop 13 distorting housing incentives. For instance, Atlanta can absorb tons of new people moving in (which they are!) and there's infinite space to build out in all directions in the suburbs there.

Of course everyone will still end up stuck in traffic.
So the government is not made of normal people? Is the USA run by lizards or something?

Seriously, this is some of the craziest doublethink imaginable. Something is not made just just because the majority say so, or just because the state says so. There are unjust laws.
"I didn't choose to be born in this country. I never gave my consent.
"

Talk to your parents, and their parents, and their parents, who did.
Like i said, this is pretty much only a valid argument until age of majority.
But note: even before then, you are taking advantage of the contract, which is the essence of implied consent in every legal system.

". There are countless barriers to exit, especially if you are poor."

There literally are not.
You may walk, all the way to a border, and exit, as many people have.

You may not be accepted elsewhere, nor may you have a good time, but that is different, and changes nothing about consent.

(remember that document you didn't consent to, that's the thing that tries to make it so you might have a good time here)

"Even if I could leave, there is no viable stateless territory on which I can live.
"
Nor does this change anything about consent either.

The fact that you want something does not mean that your inability to get it easily changes anything.

Nothing has ever been easy.
You want a viable stateless territory, go make one, by force if necessary. Heck, you are complaining about lack of consent, go get people to consent to one.
Suck it up.

Nothing in the above is a valid argument about you consenting or not, just an argument that "if i don't consent, life is tough."

To which the answer is: Yes, yes it is.
That's why we created governments in the first place.
That would literally be a taxi app, so Flywheel. (Haven't tried it.)

Literal ride sharing like UberPool is the only actual cost advantage of apps over taxis, and if you picked the right vehicles for that you'd have a kind of bus/jitney system. Sounds good to me.

No, no, Rust has unicode (utf8) strings (also bytestrings if you need them). "bytes" was a mischaracterization, sorry.

I'm saying that most string handling in Rust is just lugging them around and copying them and concatenating/interpolating them.

On top of that, the few times you do iterate through them, you're looking for specific characters or character sequences (e.g. while parsing), and EGCs aren't so important there. They can be, but usually aren't.

Basically, personally the only times I've seen .chars() being used is in parsery things (where your grammar is defined over code points, not EGCs, so using EGCs is counterproductive and wrong), in the Servo DOM (where the spec tells you to operate on chars), and code where you're just verifying that the string contains or does not contain code points of a certain type (e.g. whitespace).

None of this is ascribing meaning to the concept of a code point, it's just using them as a crutch to reason about things like equality. (Of course, equality in Unicode is a whole other can of worms).

Parents can't consent for their children. And claiming that you can leave is not a valid argument because it's not always true, and there's nowhere to go.
It's not really by default, more like by necessity. Almost all categorization schemes for human cultural artifacts are necessarily blurry at the edges, and just because someone has provided a definition that is useful for one purpose (the study of linguistic differences across cultures) does not mean that it is suited for another purpose (rhetorically implying solidarity or separation between two sets of people).

The point he's making is that it is immoral for the same reason theft is. Whether it meets the full technical definition of theft is beside the point.

Most people view theft as wrong because it takes someone's property from them by force, not because it's illegal.
Could you name some DL companies in Berlin please? I'm very interested in this and based here, so I'd love to learn more about interesting projects here. So far my impression was that the "deep tech" scene in Berlin is minuscule compared to e.g. London and SV, and that most companies here work in ad tech and e-commerce (two fields which I have no interest in at all).
The constitution is a law. It is the supreme law, by its own definition.
Labour costs are much more important here. Utilizing an older car to 90% is cheaper than utilizing a new car with only 60%. That's where the advantage of larger players with good technology and data analysis lies, as they'll know when and where cars are needed.

Still, uber doesn't even pay when drivers don't have a ride, and they still lose a lot. I don't think you can be any cheaper than the subsidized Uber.

And I don't think you can save much regarding servicing. You already get very good prices with a few cars, or just with one if you carefully choose the garage. There is not much discount that you could get. Most costs will be gasoline, where discounts even for huge amounts are very small. So small that I know of several very large fleet operators in Europe which abandoned their own gas stations and instead had a contract with some gas stations to get a minor discount there.
Consent doesn't 51% of people get to decide for 100% of people what to do. Majority-rule does not make state action consensual. Your politics is shallow and inhuman.

You sound like a college kid who read some libertarian propaganda but has never learned anything about political philosophy and thinks (s)he knows everything anyway. You really need to go back and at least get to the point where you could argue (ideally, steelman[0]) for the other side, and then show where they're mistaken. Right now it just sounds like you've never learned anything about any Enlightenment-era principle of government, much less anything past that, and, well, I don't really feel like explaining any more basic concepts to you.

Easy retorts:

* Slavery was morally wrong (per almost all moral frameworks), but it was just per the government at the time. You should be opposed to immoral things regardless of how just they are under a government.

* You're still using the wrong definition of consent. Imagine there are two words - ConsentI and ConsentP. You're arguing against the phrase "taxation is done with ConsentP" by saying "well I didn't ConsentI!!!". No shit, we're talking about ConsentP. Get with the program or you just sound ignorant.

* The state does get a special exemption from definitions. That's the point of having the definition of 'just' come from the state. This is basic stuff.

(Specifically, defined in the constitution of the state. The behavior of the agents of the state are not exempt from the definitions.)
