You have reached zugzwang in game theory parlance.

The correct solution before this was to make an announcement:

"Here is the announcement I have made disclosing the problem. It is in both our best interest that it get fixed before publication. I have irrevocably given it to a blind drop that will publish it on DATE. And I believe that is a reasonable DATE that you could fix the problem. Let's work together to fix the problem."

What do you think about this type of approach? There is probably a name for it in Art of the Deal. (Whatever you think of the man, the book is worth reading.)

Hmm, disappointing that this is what Muji ended up launching, this looks smaller and simpler than the three designs they showed off in late 2015. [1] Of those three concepts, Naoto Fukasawa’s Wood Hut was my favorite. Two of the designs had plumbing, and Fukasawa's in fact had a pretty awesome looking soaking tub. As it is, like others have mentioned, it's pretty much an overpriced shed.

While it may seem a bit strange, Muji has been building houses since 2000 (english writeup here [2]) that seem reasonable vs the competition (prefab houses are more common in Japan and they can be put up in a day or two - big companies include Misawa and a even subsidiary of Toyota. Their sites are all Japanese, but you can browse the pics to see the quality/design aesthetics (which I quite like). [3] [4]

Someone else mentioned the $71K Minim Home as an alternative in the US (which is pretty nice). An option closer to the Muji Hut pricing (but you know, that one could actually live in) is say the Escape Vista which starts at $39-49K: http://www.escapetraveler.net/vista-vista-go

> If the price of water is too low, then we should raise the price of water so that it's cheaper for Google to use a different way of cooling.

Agreed. But we always seem to fail to price-in the externalities for natural resources. Just like carbon dioxide emissions from energy production.
Heck, I've done substitute teaching in a relatively affluent suburb of Austin, Texas and I find there are some really dim human creatures amongst us. Factors you noted all potentially relevant. It's frustrating to hear somebody say "Oh just reason with them!" when sometimes a certain contingent of 14 year olds are kind of lacking whip cracking in the bigger picture.

Tenacious is good. Stubborn is not.
We need to make jets that run on biofuels or synthetic fuels.

That's an issue of sustainability, not climate change. Those subjects are related but not interchangeable. I don't have the latest data, but I do recall various biofuels having a greater carbon impact than various fossil fuels a few years ago. If the situation has changed, great. But we need to remember that sustainable resources and climate friendly resources are not necessarily the same thing.
For exactly the same reasons that they do now other than speculating on its value increasing in the future. And of course, the prices for property would be much, much lower under this regime.
The market has decided.

Case 1: it was a perfectly functioning computer but the owner wanted something new. They could hand it down, donate it directly to a charity, or sell it through a company like Gazelle.

I don't think I've gotten rid of a single computer in 10 years. I have 4 pre 2009 computers that I know are still in good use after installing a fresh copy of Windows 7 on them (thanks to an MSDN license). One of those four is a 2006 era Core Duo Mac Mini. The 2008 era Core 2 Duo is being used now as a Plex Server.

Case 2: they were returned to Apple under warranty, Apple cleaned them up and sold them refurbished. Apple has been selling refurbished devices for over 10 years.

Case 3: they weren't worth selling or refurbishing.
This may be outdated. I just opened Goole News and on the right hand side just below the weather widget thing there's a place where you can change the location it's providing you news for. Changing the location not only updated the weather widget but also the local news stories.
A couple of the co-founders worked in the sector already and had a broad network which we tapped into. I didn't have prior experience, but I did take a break before this and studied for a degree in environmental science, which is also how I found those co-founders. Went to a policy conference a few times which deals with water issues and was frustrated about how primitive the IT use was, expressed it during a Q&A session and met one of the co-founders as a result.
That's not how the US legal system works. When Uber acquired Otto they became subject to all legal claims against Otto. The notion that an acquisition should somehow extinguish liability is just ridiculous; it would lead to companies engaging in all sorts of shell game M&A activity just to dodge lawsuits.
It's not just an internet thing. The entire profession of Chiropractic care has long been established to be a pseudo-scientific field. Research on the effectiveness of the treatment is at best conflicting and it's effectiveness is not scientifically established except to say that it may be as effective as Tylenol for certain types of lower back pains. That hasn't stopped people from rushing to them and governments from licensing and regulating them giving what is essentially snake oil salespeople the credibility of state backing.

There are many other examples of pre-internet mass gullibility, like homeopathy, Reiki and assorted foolishness. Maybe the internet has made it easier to market foolishness, but I doubt we can say it has made us more foolish or gullible.
"The death of millions would be a statistical blip in geological timescale."

Well, I actually do care about people. So, there's that.

"In 1998, over 75% of the total area of the country was flooded, including half of the capital city Dhaka. ... 30 million people were made homeless and the death toll reached over a thousand."

That's sad, all right. How many routinely died in famines before the advent of modern, high-energy, mechanized agriculture?

Hint: a lot more than a thousand.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Bengal_famine_of_1770

Try ten million. And that was just one such event. They were routine in the days before mechanized agriculture and mechanized food transport. Happened all the time. Note that the article tries to blame this on the British (and they do appear to have been rather callous), but the primary cause was the failure of the monsoon. Nowadays if a monsoon fails you can truck in food from somewhere else. You can't do that without fossil fuels or some equivalent. Not to any real degree.

"It makes me suspect that you don't care about human costs at all. "

I'm not the one who wants to sentence the bulk of the human race to a preindustrial scenario involving periodic mass starvation. So, no.
It would be very nice if your security disclosure report included a section about how you have provide good faith upfront notice to the vendor and that based on research and belief it would be negligent for the company to not fix the issue by X date.

The wording you choose should be cognizant of your state's laws and the company's user agreement in such a way that the company is actually at risk if they ignore you.

When talking to people, "Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions".

When talking to companies it is only necessary to discuss the impact on their profit.

These devices are sold by the users to Apple for recycling, Apple can't do anything with them besides recycling.

Nothing to see here, conspiracy theorists.
You're confusing me, you wrote:

I'm also not sure what makes it so hard for people to see the
obvious fact that landlording is morally unjustifiable.

Is it absolutely unjustifiable, or is it the risk of moral/ethical failure (slum lords and similar extortive behavior) that makes it riskier than you think is reasonable?
The number one way of earning money from idle land is just to wait for its value to increase. That doesn't apply to all land, but it does apply to all land in areas that have a housing affordability problem.
Who said they are "perfectly fine"?

Also, it's not up to you, the costumer decided to deliver the device for recycling and not for scrap.
So I assume you buy Android phones from companies that don't keep their devices updated with the latest OS basically forcing you to buy a new phone if you want the latest OS/security patches.

Apple has traditional supported iOS devices for at least 3-4 years with OS updates.

My old first generation iPad 2010 can still get older versions of current apps from the App Store.
Basically, per our phone call, my consideration was duress. As in "sign this or else..."
There is absolutely nothing stopping people from reselling old Apple products. The market has every opportunity to work just fine.

If it ended up at a recycler, it is intended to be destroyed. That's what recycling means. The plastic bottles you throw in recycling get shredded too, even though they could undoubtedly be refilled and reused.

By this proposal, can you even make money off the sale of land? Wouldn't that, also, be taxed 100%?
Right, my point is that most of the assumptions made are like that. Some are more obvious than others.

Yes, this could help construct a "warn on assumption made" mode, but you'd likely be inundiated with a lot of mundane assumptions as well. You could filter by kind of assumption, but scary-ub-triggering assumptions like the one in the post happen all the time too, and they usually depend on the runtime properties of the program, which are hard to statically figure out. Basically, this is a very nontrivial problem, and quite likely intractable to solve in a way that doesn't produce a deluge of unnecessary info.

(In the presence of annotations to help the compiler -- like the ISOC++ core guidelines -- the problem becomes significantly easier because you have local information on the runtime properties)

On the topic of language, a problem I have in India is that many OSs, apps and sites don't understand that both "color" and "colour" are okay in India. It's more a question of style whether you use the US or British or US spelling, and I don't want my spell-checker enforcing style. Neither is really wrong, like "colur" would be.

macOS, iOS and Android all get this wrong, insisting on "correcting" color to colour. This happens in both native and web apps. I tried to work around this by adding English (US) as a secondary language, which fixes the issue in iOS but not macOS or Android.

A couple of other related points: it's irritating when apps don't use my location to pick sane defaults. Google Maps on a new phone showed me a distance in miles. A computer should never ask you a question it can work out the answer to. If you still want to change it, fine, but the default should be sane.

Another problem with language is that many developers think of I18N as a checklist item to be ticked off. They still use American English like "way to go". Leave the Americanisms out of it, if you want your non-American users to feel welcome, as opposed to, "This isn't for you". Americans will also understand if "way to go" was replaced by "congrats" or "congratulations".
I've been a .NET developer for years but I've also been a big Java guy. The lack of an OSS ecosystem in .NET is a huge glaring problem. This is compounded by the echo chamber that is the MS developer world.

There have been multiple projects where lack of a library or database driver have resulted in hacks or passing something to a little Java app and back because it's unrealistic to do the work in C#. Like I said, the MS world seems to be an echo chamber and the vast majority of C# devs shun any solution outside official MS channels. Why do they do this?

Because open source devs generally still dislike MS and until .NET core (which is not ready for prime time) using C# saddled you to Visual Studio, Windows, SQL Server, and IIS. Because of this, the open source community on other languages like Python or Java is maybe 20x bigger.

The other reason open source avoids the MS platform is because they like to take your stuff and replace it with the "MS official" version. Entity framework was originally a poor emulation of NHibernate. WebApi a copy of Spring Boot. Instead of helping your project, or making it official like Java tends to do, MS likes to replace your OSS with something proprietary.

The other big .NET problem is speed. I like C# syntax better, but when I wanna get something done on my own I reach for Java first. It's faster and more flexible. In some areas the execution speed difference is 100x. The CLR might be quick but MS never considered performance a priority until .NET core, because before core they were only competing with themselves.

The echo chamberyness is leaving the MS stack in the dust. Everyone else runs on Linux now. Everyone else is using containers and SPA frameworks and Postgres. In the MS world, the unofficial rule is that if it's not a visual studio project template don't use it. It encourages reaching out of the Microsoft ecosystem as little as possible.

Big sites like stackoverflow that have chosen to go with C# have blogged about their adventures. Most of these adventures involve building things that are already available from the community in most languages. Core may save .NET but it might be too little too late. Windows has already lost the war for server operating system and that leaves little reason to use C# over the primary competitors Java and Go. Both of those have ecosystems far larger and far better support for things like databases, mapreduce, Linux, containers, etc...
Oh my God I feel exactly the same. At home I don't touch C# if I can avoid it
How is this factual?

1) Apple offers repair service on all their products.

2) I can go on ifixit.com and buy parts for almost any Apple product from the last 10 years.

3) ifixit is chock full of instructions on how to install those parts. Apple software does not brick devices that are repaired.

4) True; I guess 1 out of 4 ain't bad?

It need not be on a consistent basis. I recall one bad decision on the part of a manager that caused me to work eight months of 60-80 hour weeks and nearly burned me out. It took some hindsight for me to understand that, and since he didn't have to suffer over it I'm pretty sure he would make the same decision today if he hadn't been promoted to a higher technical position where he can do more damage.

That's not unusual in my experience. I've gone down the wrong path a few times, but I'd like to think I've suffered enough to think twice now. Let's call that suffering "experience."
"But the indirect effects could be much more severe."

Or they could make things better.

"That's the interesting part of the problem, we don't have accurate models of all the side effects."

In fact, we do know that the CO2 level of the earth's atmosphere has been much higher in the past, and that this didn't produce anything like the "all life on earth dies" scenario that the doomsayers keep touting.

"Ecosystems are complicated and fragile."

The ecosystem survived the Chicxulub event, dude. It's not going to be knocked out by 410 ppm of CO2.
> Don't be the person that gets someone fired, arrested, jailed, and in lifetime legal trouble because some asshole thought it would be hilarious to display porn on their computer at work.

Not to defend "meatspinning" (first time I've heard the term), but don't you think the real problem here is that people can be fired/jailed/etc without due process is the problem here? This was just some drive by malware, imagine what you could do to someone's life if you intentionally targeted someone?
You are assuming the site would remember what language the users have told it to use.

YouTube, even after all these years, forgets this every 3 days, even when I'm still logged in. But it doesn't forget what ads to shove to me though.
Not all of their pages support the ncr. For example maps.google.com/ncr 404's. And without the /ncr I get redirected to .co.jp where there is no visible option to change the language unless I sign in.
Thank you, and also parents. This discussion is very relieving for me.

I know at least one YC fellowship co that was using Julia in production.

There was like 1 evangelist at CMU who used it for their work. The deep learning wave kinda took things in a rather different direction.
I like your definition better than "a trade that requires paying a fee to a local bureaucracy."
Let's be honest. Climate science also needs to decide if it will be anthropocentric or not. As harsh as it sounds, if science is not supposed to be anthropocentric, then it doesn't matter to science if humanity becomes extinct or suffers. By definition. So if climate science is going to make human suffering or survival the key important issue,
it should completely discard any language that it's about the earth and environment, and discard any pretense that it's not trying to be anthropocentric.
For us, the biggest problem is that Vagrant, on Windows machines, doesn't run well on Hyper-V (it has network limitations e.g. you can't force a static IP for the machine).

So we have to keep using VirtualBox which is slower.

Another consequence of this is that in order to use VirtualBox you need to completely disable Hyper-V, so on Windows machines our devs are forced to use Docker Toolbox (instead of Docker for Windows which is faster but based on Hyper-V).

(Note: we are a small team with little experience both in Docker and Vagrant so we welcome suggestions: if you thing we're doing something wrong please leave a comment).
that may be so in Python, but have you checked the performance differences in Julia?

Well, why not put those in docker too? The container you develop locally with doesn't have to be the same one that eventually ends up in production.

Here's a little demo designed for editing+testing a PHP library even if your local machine doesn't have anything more than Bash, Docker, and a text editor.

https://github.com/DHager/docker-php-library-demo
OTOH, without IKVM, there will be a lot of people who will be forced to come out of the .NET ecosystem when using these libraries, which will end up improving both the libraries and the surrounding ecosystem (e.g. many people dislike Java the language, but maybe people will migrate towards Kotlin for maintaining/improving these libraries). Also, any improvements they make can be more easily integrated back into the source.
I'm honestly curious: what does it matter to you? You keep comparing it to very extreme things and generally seem to care a lot, but I just don't get what the big deal is. "Cockroach" is just not such an offensive word that it's worth getting so worked up about.
What issues are you having?
There is nothing deceptive about trying to take over a political party. It is in fact exactly how political parties work. The Tea Party accomplished a partial takeover of the GOP in 2010, and Bernie Sanders is working on the Democrats still.

Political parties belong to whoever tries the hardest to run them.
Sure, I agree.
Maybe so trim works for swap on SSDs?
we don't run docker in production, but docker-compose has been awesome for our local dev environment. We can get new engineers new computers going in 20 minutes!

Just asking for a friend, but Pennsylvania and California are two-party recording states. Is there a statute of limitations after when releasing an undisclosed recording between a Pennsylvanian and a Californian would not be considered an offense?
Yeah, I live in a "Tiny Home". It's called a Trailer.

This house has all the amenities. Water, sewage, gas, electricity, central air, internet, storage, kitchen. Like a normal house would have. And since it was made in the '80s , it was also inexpensive. And it's equity; I can claim it for homeowners deduction and can later sell it to get a bigger house.

Oh, but trailers are for poor people. This whole tiny house shit is for rich people who want to be "economical", while showing idiotic extravagance. Of course, a $30k lean-to just goes to show the case. Or $70k for that Minim crap where even a bookshelf is a line-item to add. (We have 6 bookshelves in our 'tiny house', and we didn't have to check a box on a bloated web-app.)
Why would you sleep 60 when you have runlevels and startup order?
The same reasons people migrated to Python in the late 90s from matlab, Fortran and C++: Python addressed pain points in those languages and ecosystems. Julia addresses deficiencies in Python the language. Unfortunately, it lacks the ecosystem: until it gets the rich library set that Python has, we're stuck with Python since ecosystem is arguably more important for practical traction than the base language.
Old cars are often used to source parts for the repair of other cars. It's common practice, which has persisted without any major problems.

Likewise, 3rd-party repair shops will often harvest parts from old phones, to replace parts in phones they are repairing. Picking and testing components doesn't appear to be a problem for them. Their customers seem to have no issue with recycled parts being used to repair their phones.

If there is demand for recycled parts, and they can be reused while still ensuring quality, what is the problem?
