This doesn't make any sense.

"A democracy is only legitimate to the extent that people choose to participate in it" is correct, but only applies to the people within the bounds of the democratic state -- those upon which the effects of the democratic decisions will be applied to. Not to arbitrarily anyone.

So refusing the vote to blacks or women etc, within a state is undemocratic, refusing the entry to the state (and thus the vote) to those outside is another thing altogether.

Let's conduct a thought experiment. Given totally free entry and vote to the USA, what's to stop, say, 400 million devout muslims from migrating there, and voting at the very first elections they can vote in, for islamic law (or gradually introducing it)? That's, after all, the will of the (new) 400+350 million strong people.

You could substitute muslims for any other group. Or you could do the reverse experiment, migrating 100 millions americans to a muslim country of, say, 50-70 million people, and having the vote to change the laws and customs to americanized preferences of living.

It's only because a lot of people in the US think that how the US lives and operates is some kind of universal law or ultimate preference of mankind (forgetting that there are two fractions even in the us itself) that they cannot see the possibility of such experiments/distortions.

Meanwhile, people in places like Lebanon, that had these things painfully happen to them, are much more aware of the diversity of what people will.

>Wealth is that same. Some people have money because they are lucky and otherwise dumb as a brick. That's not the case for most people who have money. They've taken risks, worked hard or worked smarter than others (or all three of these factors). And, no, they are not trying to oppress the rest. The gifted swimmer who laps me at that open water meet doesn't even know I exist. Blaming him or her for my shitty standing isn't aligned with reality at all.

Yeesh. This is factually incorrect. You are saying "this is what you think the world must be like, given that's the pyramid in many other places."

But you are just badly mis-caliberated.

The top 0.1% control most of the wealth, and the top 0.01% control a disproportionate amount even amount the top 1%.

Psychthowaway>> It's generally the case that it's better to build a coalition of people who have shared goals than just manipulate people into doing what you want.

Wouldn't the goal of most "high functioning" sociopaths be near identical i.e: health, happiness and survival? (ofcourse one can debate on how that is to be achieved, but that's another debate)

Anyway, I can identify with a lot of what you put in your parent post. There appears to be a key difference in the way I'm a sociopath. I seem to have became one. For example for me death is an anticipated event that will happen to everyone. I have probably "greaved" over the death of most people who are close to me and are now alive so that when it actually happens it does not catch me off guard. So now I have to feign some grief when it actually happens, so that I do not come across as a sociopath.

And on the topic of death - I have done my own little bit, since I do not think it is entirely inevitable. Being a "sociopath" and having a high degree of objectivity go hand in hand.
I might be a bit green but your setup doesn't seem "simple" at all for me!
Do you mean immigration, or emigration? A person can choose to leave, if at least one of the 180-someodd other countries in the world will take them. Or they can go to unoccupied land, which is admittedly in very short supply (Antarctica, Bir Tawil).

I believe you can also go to Svalbard if you do so without passing through another nation on the way which would restrict your passage.
I always get euphoric during sleep deprivation as well, however even if it is a "cure" it is not sustainable.

I don't see anyone defending JavaScript as if it had no flaws. So I'm not sure what your getting at exactly.
And CSS
For computers built in the late 80's and subsequent couple of decades, OOP was a fine abstraction that furthered software development in many ways. When you had one thread running your whole program, it was okay to have mutable data all over the place with complex interactions between parts of your program. Developers could keep it all straight in their heads, so OOP added some structure that was very helpful.

Now that computer hardware manufacturers are moving toward providing more CPU cores that allow for higher degrees of parallelization within single applications - development strategies that make it easier to keep parallel processes from working against each other are becoming more preferable.

Looking at OOP's success as binary is inappropriate. OOP was the right tool for the time and hardware that was available. It served its purpose, but unless its shortcomings on modern and near-future hardware can be addressed... it will fall out of vogue and be regarded as the wrong choice to make.
First, if the state is illegitimate, then there are no landowners.

You are a landowner only in as much as the state guarantees your right to the land, or (the only other alternative) as much as you can protect and enforce your rights to your land.

So, without a state, some big bullies with access to better guns will have you for breakfast.

Besides, who gave you this "right" to the land in the first place? Only a series of contracts, and before it all, stealing it from the Native Americans, who got there first (in as much as we can recognize "getting there first" as a legitimate right to a piece of land).

Second, even if it "is up to the rightful landowners to allow whoever they want on their premises", that doesn't extend to outside their premises.

So, either those immigrants you accepted in would have to live only on your premises, or you have to negotiate with the other landowners to have the immigrants be able to walk around their land, define some common areas which no one has exclusive rights to, etc. And this collective agreement, which you'll also need some way to enforce it, is exactly a primitive form of govermnet as well.
Does Japan have the moral responsibility to accept Chinese immigrants after the atrocities committed in WW2?
The author, in my view, appears to be making 2 logical fallacies (that, therefore, invalidate the argument) summarized here

"...
A prima facie rights violation is an action of a sort that normally—that is, barring any special circumstances—violates someone’s rights. For example, killing a human being is a prima facie rights violation: in normal circumstances, to kill someone is to violate his rights.
...."

Fallacy one, is that killing a person is an binary, killed or not. It is not equivalent to a country establishing suverenity over its territory, borders, and laws.
And denying a right to immigrate into a particular list of first world countries, is not equivalent to killing.

Fallacy two, is that the author oversimplifies.

First it is postulated, that immigration is a right.
However, it is not the case. Every right granted within
a sovereign country does not necessarily extend beyond its
borders. Eg 2nd amendment right in US does not extend to Russia. Same can be said about abortions right grants -- these are not applicable at 'global level'.
So lack of examining significantly complex analogies, is a simplification fallacy.

Second example of oversimplification fallacy, is that there are many more variables (rights, privileges, letter of law, reasons to enforce laws, etc) than just "US government" vs "an immigrant".
That just sidesteps the interesting part of the question.

It's been repeatedly demonstrated throughout history that nations do not exist by right, they exist by might.

'Engineering claims an explicit responsibility to public safety and reliability, even if it doesn’t always deliver.' -> that's exactly why some programmers NEED to be engineers. And some are indeed 'verified' engineers (the author seems to deeply care about the fact that there are some regulation behind this word), like myself and lots of my 'programmers' friends from engineering schools. And yes we also have 'programmers' or 'developers' or 'coders', to whom we need to explain engineering principles.

This bit of (excellent) guidance is actually two somewhat separate suggestions:

"Founders should insist that their lawyers publish, to them and the angel/seed investors, a “pro-forma” cap table at the closing of the note that shows how much of the company each of them would own if the note converted immediately at different prices. This “pro-forma” cap table should be updated each and every time another note is isssued. Most importantly, we cannot and should not continue to allow founders to issue notes to investors and not understand how much dilution they are taking on each time they do it."

Requiring that a cap-table be published is somewhat different than ensuring that the founders understand their dilution. It's quite likely there is a ton of overwhelming information/events going on during a close, and it's easy (though it shouldn't be) at this stage for a founders eyes to glaze over yet another-table. But taking the extra 60 minutes to walk through the implications of dilution, and ensuring that they actually get it is something a responsible investor/VC will do.
> OOP is a tool. And generally a useful one.

OOP is also a tool that others have used to build things that many of us use all the time (I'm looking at you DOM API and CSS) so it's difficult to truly escape from OOP. You may never like it, but learning it will deepen your understanding of many other tools.

Nations do not have rights granted to them the same way they grant rights to you. Nations are essentially sovereign. They can do whatever they want. If they piss off some other nation, that may lead to war, but there is no court that rules over nations. There have been some of these in recent times, but nations decide to accept their rulings by choice, not because they have to. remember how they veto'd the USA going to war in Iraq and the USA still went to war and nothing happened to them?

Nations have ALL the rights. The same way you have the right to with your body whatever you want. At least in principle.

Even when the supreme court decides that its nation can not do something, thats an entity that is part of the natio making a decision for the nation. Its not that the nation has lost rights, its just decided that it installs a supreme court that serves as a decision-maker for the nation.
Why do people get away with pretending that rights come from the sky?

> “Engineer” is an aspirational title in software development

Some engineers aspire to, allow me this reserved term, 'build' software. And doing so fulfill their role as engineers, by doing it correctly. Some of this software later is used by so depicted real-hardware engineers to model their bridges before starting building them, their planes before flying in them. Would id be possible without engineers in software ?

That said, I really don't think developing standards for interoperability and federation is such a big deal in the grand scheme of things. After all, modern networking -- including the Internet -- is built on numerous such standards, carefully designed and documented, widely implemented and effective. If we can develop a stack of protocols for totally unrelated systems to talk to each other, from the lower levels of LANs up through things like TCP/IP and SSL to application level details like sending email between SMTP servers or requesting web pages using HTTP, surely we could standardise sharing content like messages and photos from friends without relying on some mysterious centralised service.

I don't know whether most people do prefer to have only one source for their information; I'd like to see more data before forming any strong view on that one. But let's assume you're right for the sake of argument. Is that a problem? We've had systems that collected and combined multiple streams of data for ease of reference for a long time, from the earliest days of e-mail lists with digests and Usenet newsgroups and RSS feeds up to modern Web-based aggregators like Reddit, the Facebook news feed, and indeed the site you're reading right now. Modern smartphones already combine even these feeds from multiple sources into a single stream of news and communications for ease of access. Is it really so far-fetched that we could cut out the middle-man in some of these cases and move back to a more peer-to-peer, decentralised system with neutral infrastructure?

Because the set of criminals used in the research are confirmed psychopaths, so it's the only way to conduct such a study. You cannot round up Hedge Fund managers for such a study. But this also makes what you're saying somewhat non-falsifiable. Highly successful people basically are extremely driven and ambitious, and they work all the time. (I'm assuming you relate to this.) But there is no evidence (as far as I know) correlating tendencies to be extremely ambitious, and psychopathic tendencies such as inability to feel empathy. Although, obviously, tendencies associated with both things may overlap, since a very ambitious person is more likely to appear very selfish to an outside observer.

Also, many actual confirmed geniuses like Einstein, Alan Turing, etc. clearly were simply obsessed (which is really just a more negative way of saying "very enthusiastic") about their work - they didn't necessarily care to become powerful men (Einstein famously turned down the Presidency of Israel because it was boring to him). These people were just really, really interested in the problems they were working on. This seems to intersect better with something like OCD rather than psychopathy - and indeed, there are of course many anecdotes around Princeton University of Einstein exhibiting OCD tendencies.

Seems like a very nice argument when isolated away from reality. Reality of mass immigration from Muslim countries into the UK has been a lot more people in the UK support Sharia law and want to ban homosexuality.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/apr/11/british-musl...

I like libertarians, but there are some feedback loops that prevent me from universally embracing libertarianism.

Also, the author describes this right to immigrate from the context of "normal" immigrants. What is normal and who gets to define it? Seems like a fluid definition that evolves as a function of past immigration. For example, parts of Sharia law might fit in OK (usury, for example) with Western values, so maybe we let that slide for a bit. Then, after a few decades and more norming of other aspects, all these other social values become part of a voting block and get pushed into action. I don't see great examples of government in the middle East, so why would I want to normalize those social values and evolve my government to suit?

I don't consider myself anti-Islam (just anti fundamentalists, including Judeo-Christian sects) and I know a ton of secular Muslims with my values (most don't want open door immigration either!).

In thirty years of traveling to Europe to visit family, I just don't look at how they've managed immigration with a lot of enthusiasm. Nor do I want to replicate those policies here.
Sounds like doublespeak to me. Google and Facebook both took partisan positions in the past election. Why should we trust them as 'gatekeepers'?

And who gets to decide who the gatekeepers are?

An oligopoly made up of elite companies is no better than a monopoly, especially when the members are demonstrably partisan.

One last point and I'll drop it.
