> The issue that the Board has is that he claimed to be an engineer in a public forum.

That's not the only issue the Board said it had, and not the most important one at that:

> [...] you continued to use the title "engineer" in your communication with Board staff and, of more concern, are the documents you provided that indicate you may have engaged in unlicensed engineering work in Oregon.

(emphasis mine). It's the emphasized clause, and the Board's Final Report, page 6, Section 14[1], that is concerning: he's being punished mainly ("of more concern"!) for doing thinking and speech that, IMO, should not be prohibited.

Religious zealots certainly can justify extreme actions as being mandated or approved by a supreme being, but let's not kid ourselves: there are plenty of secular examples as well. Consider, for example, the millions of deaths that took place under anti-religious Communist regimes.

This certainly isn't to say one is more acceptable than the other; it isn't.

I'm not Canadian, but a long time ago, before graduate school, I was on an engineering track. Most of my friends joined my path (physics) but several went on to advanced degrees in engineering, accreditation/licensing, etc. When I describe to them what "engineering" is like in this industry they snicker and guffaw. The two fields are quite far apart. Mainly this is because software "engineering" is still quite immature. "Real" engineering has been something humans have worked on for literally millennia, so in this sense it's hardly a fair comparison.

One thing that is especially hilarious is the interview process: the equivalent of the software world's interview process would be to grill an engineer by requiring him to, say, solve a projectile motion with air-resistance problem (fairly common in first-year calculus-based mechanics classes and as review in sophomore/junior year classical mechanics) on the whiteboard and using that as a way to gauge his ability to design whole systems. These interview processes aren't good at looking for engineers, they're good at looking for code monkeys with a high opinion of themselves.

Sometimes I find myself with an empty fridge and can't be bothered to go shopping, so I'll just eat less for a day. It's not hard to not do something. Just don't have too much food in your home, then you can't eat too much of it.

>For some, exercise is actually counter-productive and causes more hunger. For others, exercise is a crucial part of success.

You don't have to eat just because you are hungry. This is actually the one and only problem, eating impulsively, but even in general, doing anything impulsively.
> You make too many assumptions, but Taliban is by-product of Pakistani obsession with India and Strategic depth.

No more thab the Taliban is a byproduct of the US obsession with the USSR and the US preference for indirect action in the wake of Vietnam, and it's acting without much concern for non-immediate consequences.
Your arguments make no sense.

1. A Tesla with full self-driving hardware can be had today for ~$75k. And the model 3 will cut that in half. And the model after that will be even less. Millions of people can afford this.

2. Who said anything about retrofitting old cars? As far as I know, nobody is planning to do this.

3. This isn't a requirement, and it won't happen all at once. The plumber with an old F150 will continue to drive as he always has until the cost/benefit makes sense for him to upgrade.

4. Self driving tractors move at 3mph, and I don't think farm-field traffic fatalities are the big driver behind automated farming. Different use case.

No, that's a post-Biblical rationalization. There's nothing in the Bible that specifically rescinds, say, the clothing laws, and some Christians still take the time to rationalize it away specifically, e.g. here: http://www.cgg.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Library.sr/CT/BQA/k/...

What people don't seem to get is that many, many theists do not choose to follow all the rules in their particular holy book. How many Christian churches now endorse gay marriage, for example? You may call this hypocrisy or, indeed, heresy if you like, but you need to understand that being a Muslim does not necessarily mean that a person, their family, or their religious community holds identical beliefs to Osama bin Laden. If you judge people based on stereotypes rather than words and actions, you will judge them incorrectly.
Here's how a friend of mine described it:

If you struggle, see about medication. I resisted for years. I was afraid it would take away the sparkle. Now, medication probably isn't for everyone, and some medications will not be for certain people, but let me tell you something: life works now. My apartment is clean; I know where my stuff is; I do better with relationships; I show up to meetings early; life doesn't feel like I'm constantly on the edge of imploding. And the sparkle is far from gone. I'm still the same person. I just feel like I can actually be that person without a wall of fog and noise to constantly battle through.

It's unclear if that's still true or not. The most recent good data is a Gallup poll from 2006.[1] When asked if the constitution should be amended (the only way such a ban could exist), support was at 54%. Also, support was higher in the 90's. If trends have continued, supporters should be in the minority today.

Also, it's a bit rich to compare a nonexistent flag burning ban (which would punish with fines or jail) to Pakistan's very-much-existent blasphemy laws (which execute people).

To pick one example - TCP will get you automatic retry of sending bytes but it knows nothing about the semantics of the layers built on top of it. If your HTTP request to a backend service fails with a 502 - do you try again on the same server? different server? fail the whole thing that was depending on that HTTP request succeeding? TCP can't answer that question for you because it doesn't even know if you're doing a GET or a POST, or what a 502 means.

The protocol you want is SMB.

Windows has first-class support (obviously); but Samba gives Linux and BSD support that, in modern Desktop Environments, is exactly as good. Mobile devices don't tend to have OS-level support for it, but there are very good libraries to enable individual apps to speak the protocols (look at VLC's mobile apps.)

Even Apple has given up on their own file-sharing protocol (AFP) in favor of macOS machines just speaking SMB to one-another.

Yes, it's not workable over the public Internet. Neither is FTP, any more. If you've got a server somewhere far away, and want all your devices to put files on it, you're presumably versed with configuring servers, so go ahead and set up a WebDAV server on that box. Everything speaks that.

Neither is FTP really, the user's IP is still logged somewhere, you just use a common user (anonymous) with everyone else. The modern name of such a feature would probably be something like 'No registration required'.
It goes to show how much the meaning of the word 'anonymous' changed over the last 30 years.

I understand how hedonism could seem appealing.

By contrast, I don't know that I've ever met someone who pursued pleasure for pleasure's sake and felt truly satisfied with their life. Others may have different experiences, so take from that what you will.

Professional orders can disbar you temporally and impose training for any competence or ethical shortcoming. Their role is solely to protect the public. This is the 'systems of accreditation, checking for competency' that many societies came up with. The idea that you can rely on self-regulation is ridiculous.

Most Doctors are not grossly negligent, but if you find one that is what are you gonna do? There is no one to complain to without professional orders.

It might seem capricious, but what typically happens is that companies operate under the radar until they get caught. Unfortunately, being ignorant of the law is not a good excuse.

Yeah, it's oxymoronic. They should just call it duty or something, a euphemism is better than an oxymoron.
By the sounds of it, this bloat is minor. (Keep in mind, the author is pointing out the two most extreme examples.)

Bloat arises from a lot of different places, a lot of which cannot realistically be controlled without drastically affecting user expectations, system performance, and how software is developed.

Consider graphics. If you are quadrupling the color depth, you are quadrupling the amount of memory required for graphics resources. Even more fun, if you are doubling the resolution you are quadrupling the amount of memory required for graphics resources. Going back to the olden days would only be an option if they are willing to compromise on the quality of the graphics.

At the other end of the spectrum are developers. Should they really be choosing things like the type of an integer to reduce the size of code and data? Old software was often limited due to such considerations. In some cases software used bizarre tricks to reduce bloat, such as cramming data into the unused bits of an address. (Apparently that was common on 68000 based personal computers.)

Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of unnecessarily bloated software. Yet I suspect that the vast majority of that bloat exists for very good reasons.

I generally get a slimy feeling whenever I interact with someone who is clearly applying some kind of rules of how to interact, make you feel comfortable and listened to, nodding at the right times and fake-laughing on cue, all the while I feel more and more uncomfortable and alienated.

However, I would prefer that people at least be explicit about the fact they're doing such things. Then it's just process, and not fake and uncomfortable.

As a general rule and as someone who grew up extremely religious in Pakistan, I started making fun of mohammad at every opportunity I got but the sad reality is that he was not a very funny man and that was that.

The reason Pakistan won't reform its blasphemy laws is that a large portion of the population will strangle the politician that tries to. This country (more than just about anywhere else in the islamic world) needs education for next two to three generations. The lack of action on this front has resulted in the tumor of religious bigotry and extremism to become a full fledged cancer that is now airborne. I don't support killing this patient, but forced quarantine and non-stop medication for next generation or two is the only way to save it and everyone else.

Nobody is trying to discredit the math and science. I have no objection to his proposal and neither does anyone else. The issues is that he tried to use the social construct of credentials to get attention for his proposal in a manner that bordered on fraud (since he was first given a friendly warning about the inappropriateness of titling himself as an engineer).

This is not an attack on math and science no matter how much you want to see it that way. If he had been frank about his amateur status from the outset hew would have had no problem. getting it wrong without bad intentions is nothing serious either, but after he was warned and agreed to abide by the state code, he had no excuse to repeat the behavior.

You can come up with the most interesting scientific result in history, but that does not give you an automatic right to have your discovery implemented by others, does it?
On the optimist side of things, the April 14th lynching of Mishal Khan at Abdul Wali Khan University has started a debate in the country about reforming these laws. There's been wide-spread support for Mishal among political leaders and common people. Supporting a blasphemy-accused person was a death sentence previously (see Salman Taseer).

It's also getting ridiculous lately with everyone being accused of blasphemy left and right, like even the Prime Minister lol - and the accusers are too stupid to realize that "blasphemy" is starting to lose all meaning. It's also got people thinking about requiring evidence for the purported "blasphemy". Currently you only need a clerk accusing you, without any evidence or witness and get ready to be lynched by a mob.

What feature would win you over for such an app?

For me it would probably be the app proactively reminding me "hey, you marked this person as important but haven't contacted them for a month". Even if this can become a bit annoying it still keeps you in the loop and puts a thought at the back of your head.

Another one would probably be the app automatically stalking the person and informing you if they're about to participate in an event where a keyword / tag matches your interests. (That sounds pretty tough to do however.)

> You are not going to get fined just for calculating the hypotenuse of a triangle in public

If the argument is "he said he was an 'engineer' and he isn't licensed", that's fine. And the Board's Final Report contains a lot of language establishing that, and for that he can be fined.

But the Board's Report goes out of its way to say that ORS 672.005(c) and ORS 672.002 define "practicing engineering" as quite close to just "calculating the hypotenuse of a triangle in public", and that just practicing engineering in this manner without registration is not allowed. Check Section 14 of the Final Report. It makes no reference to "purporting to be an engineer": it's "by [critiquing an engineering formula] and submitting the critique [...] to members of the public" [...he...] thereby engaged in the practice of engineering [...] specifically, traffic engineering [...and thus] violated ORS 672.020(1), 672.045(1) and OAR 820-010-0730(3)(c)".
