To patch the allemende-bug, you would have to introduce incentives via politics, but incentives are either gambled around or with, or corroded away by cooperate-kapital not beeing busy. So to fix it, you need a law that is gambling waterteight - in all participating countrys- and you need to bind law corroding kapital.

Now its basically impossible to change this democratically - any initiative would be bend, distorted and defused long before it would reach the capital. The only feasible option - is to alter consumer behaviour. For this, the real economic footprint needs to be visible on all products, with the easy scan of a app. All of it. Meaning, you need to pay people all along the supply chain to spy on the origins and processes that produce something. You could then really see what in your life is destroying that reef - and what alternatives there are.
And then you could vote with your feet. And to add incentive for those who do not care (we are all dead in the long term), some publicly visible environmental kharma point system, could be the final incentive. Maybe- something aking to jewelery- you only get, if you sacrifice part of your lifestyle for the planet.
Yeah, that's really annoying. Sadly software development is not just about software, or solving problems, but about people. And for people these tribal power games are important, like enforcing your own wording on others or considering people barbaric who don't know what you are talking about.
>That's... a surprisingly (and refreshingly) pragmatic way to deal with that percieved problem, to be honest.

It's a solution to nothing and can easily turn into a bloated bureaucratic nightmare like in Germany. A private copying levy exists, regardless of that, there's a thriving business sector of lawyers sending out bulk cease&desist letters for the most absurd of copyright infringements.

Along with that come a number of "collecting societies" like GEMA (music), VG Wort (literature) or VG Bild-Kunst (video/art) which are responsible for collecting all kinds of levies and paying them out to the respective "artists", IF artists actually claim their share of the money.

In reality, these are bloated organizations where most of the collected money goes to the board of directors, of which most only sit in that position as some kind of political retirement plan/favor.

GEMA is the reason why many popular music videos on YouTube have been straight up blocked in Germany, they are also quite infamous for issuing admonishings to kindergartens and schools for singing/copying copyrighted christmas/birthday song texts.

> the fire safety issue is a bit of a red herring.

Which was the only point I was making.

> that's something that is the responsibility of the landlord

So you agree it's red herring because fire safety is already regulated..

> the issues related to ABB tenants are about their lack of responsibility and accountability within the community

If I could demonstrate that responsibility and accountability were already regulated in communities - would you agree that your objections are red herring as well?
That is a great question.

I think spending time to think about how to best answer that question is probably the best thing one can do to prevent similar events.

We are in the middle of this strange global event and you can tell from the profusion of explanations that no one knows what the reason is.

-- loss of confidence in institutions?

-- wealth gap?

-- tech enabled cultural sabotage?

-- "globalization"?

And so on. I think people don't even know why it is happening yet. There is a lot of cognitive labor ahead.

The military are what historically kept Turkey from sliding into the abyss on several occasions. Erdogan recognized this and got rid of those who could have stepped in after the 'coup' last year because they would not have stood for it.

Turkey is in for a very rough time.
> You can think that German spooks don't listen to Trump's phone calls because they have less resources and possibly competence, but that's because the politicians and voters choose to rein them in.

This is a great point. I think it actually says what I meant far better.

The US created and funded these organizations. As a US citizen them doing their jobs (foreign intelligence gathering) is exactly what I expect of them.

I also am vehemently opposed to their vast budgets and power. It would be nice to "reign them in" by vastly reducing their resources, but there doesn't seem to be much political willpower for that. I firmly think that in your example, it's simple resource starvation - not due to lack of willpower or competence to do so.

I think the data sharing (and other similar things) agreements the CIA/NSA uses is absolutely problematic, as it's an obvious end-around the constitution and should have been slapped down hard. Once these details came out the agency should have been shut down.
Actually, there is plenty of reason they shouldn't have to abide by the same regulations.

We have the rules we have for hotels because they're typically large buildings with many rooms (often smaller than even the minimum dwelling size for private apartments) and that density presents significant safety hazards to many people should anything happen, not just you. You being in a 100sf room on the 11th floor makes it very hard to not have you die if there's a fire, especially when there's hundreds of you to evacuate.

There's no reason that someone say...renting out a detached single story house should need anything more than a working smoke/CO detector.
Introverts and Extraverts as Artists
Kemalist Turkey was authoritarian from its infancy, with the military establishment in a central political role. Throughout its history, any attempt for liberalization / democratization, respect for human / minority rights etc. was quashed. This domestic and international behavior of Turkey was tolerated by its western allies (namely US and UK) because of its friendly orientation towards these powers. See for example the various coups and juntas, jailing of opposition and journalists, banning of the minority rights (e.g. language) of Kurds, the invasion and continuous occupation of Cyprus, etc.

The unknown factor from a western perspective is how this new Turkey will align itself (or not) with western interests, not a sudden sympathy for fellow Turks.
Hum. There are people who think he used the EU membership as a way of leverage against the military. Turkey couldn't be part of the EU with this military threat, so it had to tame its military to be accepted as a modern democracy. This enabled Erdogan to progressively regain control over the army helped with the pressure from the EU, eliminating the remaining counter-power to islamism in Turkey. I think the EU has been a useful idiot in this process. Now a EU membership is out of question on the EU side and Turkey doesn't show any sign of being interested anymore anyway.

That's interesting. I'm not sure on Portuguese law, but at least in the US it's completely legal to copy stuff you already own. The RIAA and MPAA claim it's not, but it is as long as you don't break the DRM that was originally included on the disc. So unless the law in Portugal doesn't include this fair-use clause, you're paying a tax on media to pay companies for something that is already completely legal.

Again, I don't know Portuguese law, so it may be completely different.

What if the space you are searching is not a landscape with hills, but a maze?

I'm not saying it is, but the metaphor that makes the post so strong is not particularly well-grounded. Maybe we programmers tend to think about life as hill-climbing precisely because that's metaphor we often think about when solving programming problems...

Your comment being downvoted is just a symptom of how impossible discussion about islam religion has become, even in the west. What you're asking is exactly what the AKP party has been trying to answer in its own way, as stated in the article :

"Thinkers within the AKP — notably former Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu — harbored reservations about the compatibility of Western political and social institutions with their predominantly Muslim society. But the AKP leadership never acted upon this idea, choosing instead to undermine aspects of Ataturk’s legacy within the framework of the republic. That is no longer the case."

The fact that not a single muslim country can be called a democracy does raise some question about the religion itself and its current set of values.
The inconvenient part of XXX are the false positives when searching.

I don't buy the independent discovery idea (despite also thinking at one point that XXX was just my personal convention). When you pick up something through osmosis, you don't remember the exact source where you learn from. If this really was something that programmers just do naturally rather than learn, the programmers of the '60s and '70s would have been doing it too, and there should be some traces of it in the record. But at least I can't find those traces.
Florida. Sunny, has many beaches. Broadband even in small towns like Palatka. Low cost of living. A good balance of all kinds of crazy. You can even own guns, a big truck and more guns while living on a large river if you so choose all on a salary of about 60k. Then you're just a half hour away from nice size cities.
You would have a point the frameworks you provided had that kind of protection by default (or if you could at least enable it project-wide), and if PHP development were mostly done on them, instead of wordpress and drupal.

Besides, there's more to security than SQL injections and XSS. The PHP tooling is overflowing with bad practices.
Maybe because by and large, hotels have a hard time getting around being inspected. So there is no need for the average consumer to spend the time to do the research so they can say "yep, government regulators are doing a good job!"

As with most regulations, it drives up the cost a bit for the end user, but it's worthwhile - and when done properly, invisible to the consumer.
Agreed. This is why I believe that we should have regulations and rules to make certain short-term gains painful. That self-regulation is at best wishful thinking.

Let's say that you have 'sustainability', fill in that word however you want, in mind when building your business. But a company who's primary concern is growth will most likely surge ahead of you, possibly squeezing them out of the market. That company can't just retrofit those 'sustainability' practices as by this time they are expected to continue their revenue and company culture is extremely difficult to change.

Yes, I've had these thoughts.

I changed my mindset into something very cliche, but it works for me:

We can no longer create memories together, but I can still cherish the ones we had and pass on the same good he brought into my life, to others. Sort of like remembering one's legacy and passing on the torch.

> There are currently no quotas on how many crabs one can bleed because biomedical laboratories drain only a third of the crab's blood, then put them back into the water, alive. But no one really knows what happens to the crabs once they're slipped back into the sea. Do they survive? Are they ever the same?

Seems like it'd be easy enough to figure out if they are surviving or not, and seems like we could make adjustments to how much blood is drained based on the weight of the crab if we are killing them (or drain more blood so we kill fewer of them). How hard is it to glue an RFID tag on each one and dump them into a football field sized enclosure with a net wall around it?

Or maybe we release them into a nutrient rich tank full of their favorite food before we release them back into the wild? The equivalent of giving them a juice box after a blood draw?

Now... as for cruelty... yup, it's pretty barbaric sounding. I don't know how to weight this against human suffering they are helping to avert. I'm certain that if we were smaller than them, they just eat us and not think twice about it. Nice we have evolved to the point where we care about other types of life, isn't it? No clue how to measure human vs crab life, but I have to think that human life is a bit more valuable -- at least to other humans.

Presumably this blood draining procedure has gone through a medical ethics review?
If North Korea can do it anyone can. So why isn't the government patching those holes if they already know how NK can "kill 90% of the US" by disrupting the electric grid.

The sad reality of the muslim world today is that if you let the people vote freely, it votes for the islamists. So you kind of have to choose between islamists elected democratically or a secular dictatorship. I am not sure which I prefer.

>Airbnb is a gigantic business,

Right.

>and the 'hosts' are also businesses

Wrong. The hosts may or may not be a business, depending on their circumstances and motivations. A host could be someone leasing out their rental, or could be someone just renting out an extra room for some side cash. Until you have data to suggest otherwise, please refrain from damning everyone in the second category as belonging to the first category.
This is spot on. Not only that, but Turkey always had a tough time taking the final step into being a "true" representative democracy with similar characteristics to western democracies. From the seculars point of view, they was always worried of islamists taking over. From the nationalists point of view (who have had a lot of overlap with secularists historically), they were always afraid of kurds getting representation, which they saw as being separatist, and being secretly backed by foreign governments who benefit from division (kinda like Iran, Latin America, etc). In either case, whether you think it's justified or not, some groups got denied rights that would have been given in other countries.

Erdogan and AKP's political innovation (I think) was supporting a strong muslim-nationalist identity that consolidated support from both camps (thus denying them to the opposition) and created a very coherent story for why people should support him.

He also garnered a LOT of support from the international scene, especially western Europe and the US, when he got elected. It got hailed as a step forward for democracy, who willfully ignored and dismissed Erdogan's much more shady history. And, admittedly, Erdogan did start out as a right-of-center leader, which helped people suspend some hangups. He made a lot of changes that helped his base in the long run - easier access to stable government jobs, better public services, etc. Meanwhile, eventually, the secular camp's worries would be proven correct, of course, but in a slightly different way than they anticipated.

Re: MHP, it is mostly just grasping for relevance in an age where its voter base could just as easily go to AKP and CHP, which would reduce its overall support to less than 10% of the country, which would mean that they don't get seats in parliament (a law passed during the secular era to deny representation leftist / "communist" / kurdish / extremist groups, depending on who you ask).

This is a really great idea! It happens to be really useful to me right now, as I'm in Hawaii (big island, Hawai'i) and study things very much related to rock composition and age.

There is so much history one can observe driving almost anywhere on this island, and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is nearby for even more fun with "rock" stuff. Kilauea is burbling new material all the time, too.

I've been thinking about doing something similar for classifying flora via morphological analysis (lots of yes/no questions after selecting a best guess of one of the larger groups, eventually getting closer w/ pictures, narrowing to very specific detail question about patterns, arrangement, inflorescence, etc...

So far I've just been polling people who study plants or are involved in conservation/reforestation. I haven't thought of a satisfactory way to do tentative ID's that are "close enough". Close enough to go home, grab a textbook, and confirm as well as possible. That can be difficult here, even for experienced professionals; there are so many plants that are not well-known, so many rare species, so many "misbehaving" plants, and so on.

Ideally, it would have the ability to analyze samples via the camera by comparing to a corpus of known good species pictures. I don't have a clue how to do that, though. Train algorithms, machine learning, etc, etc... If I was sure it would work, I d do it. Otherwise it's much easier to just ask a couple of knowledgeable people.

I think it needs a collaborative effort, something kind of similar to what I see on Rockd... It would be fantastic if people could post, share, and consult with each other.

I will give this app a test drive on my next field work day.

How many pretty minor things does it take before a pattern is established?

And of course, they're all minor - until they break your workflow, and the developers politely tell you where to insert your bug report when you rightly raise a complaint about it. I'd rather use a UI that has little-to-no danger of a feature I use daily being ripped out from under me because some engineer who doesn't know:

* What user is using their product
* What user they are designing their product for
* How their product is used in real life

..decides to make unilateral decisions with no possibility for reconsideration.

It's a bit a similar scenario as with Russia: There might have been a moment in the past at which the West (or in the case of Turkey, specifically the EU) missed the opportunity to successfully pull the country towards a deep integration with the West/Europe.

However, since no one can replay history, no one can be sure that this actually would have happened. Erdogan would still have been himself, with the same corrupt attitude and religiously fanatic mind.
I am bothered by this. Always been incredibly ignorant about Canadian politics for no reason, is there something about Canadian gov that makes this less frightening then it sounds or does Canada just hand potential for ultra centralized control to their PM?
