We already tried fast roads that avoid traffic in America in the form of elevated expressways that criss-cross the city core. They are an absolute eyesore and end up creating more traffic themselves due to induced demand. I think the real solution is a good, high-frequency public transport grid combined with an autonomous taxi or micro-transit system.

>Who decides

In the context of a country, a judge or the people elected to represent the people do. This is often touted as some kind of immense showstopper to restricting speech, when really, it's not. The same people who decide what rights you have also decide what things you can say in public.

>In 1800, would describing all slaveowners as "immoral, godless abominations" and calling for the destruction of their property and livelihoods have been hate speech?

Perhaps, I don't know the law of the time. Were there hate speech laws at the time? If so, then it probably qualified as hate speech, if those laws included such statements.

Restricting speech is not necessarily a slippery slope (though it has potential to be one); the old argument of "who decides what is hate speech?" is a tired one with a relatively simple answer.
I might agree with you from a "public goods" perspective (but only if win10 had user control comparable to win7, and it doesn't)

However, Microsoft is in it for themselves. Not for the public good, not for the people who want to keep running their old system, not for the developers. Furthermore, whoever bought win7 was guaranteed support until 2020.

Your siding with Microsoft in 2016 is siding with "we already got the customer's money, now let's try to do the easiest thing for us rather than keep our promises; use dark patterns if we need, because it is easier to get forgiveness than permission". I am sorry, but I disagree with this attitude.
Yeah the recent anti free speech movement and fall of free speech in Europe has given me a much greater appreciation for America than I used to have.

It's frankly just because these kids typically just came from 12 years of schooling where free, open speech is not allowed nor encouraged hardly at all.

I'm reminded of Jordan Prterson's somewhat poetic video about a bill on Canada's anti Islamophobia law: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VwpwP_fIqY

I'm on Peterson's side for this issue, but isn't it a fallacy to assume that the ban on hate speech is going to result in the destruction of free speech? It's pretty fundamentalist to assume that speech that literally and historically has incited violence against groups such as Blacks is something that must be protected under the veil of free speech.

I am a Canadian, so I have grown up with this law, and I'm wondering why Americans view it as an "unholy offence".
Isn't being against blasphemy laws Islamophobic?

I identify with a lot of what you write, especially about wanting to avoid hurting other people in the pursuit of profits. What has bothered me lately, very much so, is how in-the-minority I feel about this "social crisis" that I feel is occurring: hurting people/ourselves in pursuit of money that we won't personally even see. (In-the-minority from the people that surround me in my work and personal life.)

I'm [finishing] working through burnout from my own consultancy that I closed down a few years ago, reloading fuel for my next heat. Meaning is so important, because after a certain income threshold the money means less and less, too.

As an aside, the people I work among seems to be primo in what fuels my passion, even before getting to the work of the company mission. Always looking for camaraderie (and friendly competition) among peers and an acceptable "mission" that binds us.

Good luck to you!

A bit off topic, but I'm curious - how did you get started in contracting and how do you go about finding clients? Is it through people you've worked with in the past, or do you somehow advertise yourself? This is something I've considered moving toward but I don't know where to begin. Thanks!
Maybe you should read Federalist Paper #10, #14, and some of Jefferson's letters before resorting to snide cynicism.

Well, in the EU we have regions ruled by people that explicitly say they'll go against the rule of law (say, and do, with any available law loopholes, wasting citizens money and time). So go figure the "quality" of the democracy in those regions.

Reciprocity is an ethical concept. I told you, there is no law that mandates people have to be nice to each other. Courts do consider matters of pure equity from time to time, but such disputes are heavily fact-based and don't generalize well. That's why contracts exist; they're a mechanism for establishing predictability between people who may have very different moral assumptions, but (ideally) negotiate agreements of limited scope to which they are both willing to adhere while still maintaining their different interests/ moral beliefs/ tribal membership etc.

Courts don't want to be moral arbiters if they can possibly avoid it because questions of morality are inherently political. Contractual relations are a mechanism for dealing with that problematic social reality.

Edit: if it helps, think of contract law as a language specification. The compiler cannot and does not evaluate the worthiness or value of a program, only its semantic consistency. An individual contract is like a program, the law as a whole is like the operating system, institutions are the firmware, physical assets are the hardware. It's an imperfect analogy but it might make the scope issues easier to understand.
I didn't consider the 'storing data' aspect as I'm not sure how the ransomware works. I thought it was taking each machine hostage (not just the networked storage).
Of course. Roads are great. But they have drawbacks:
1) two dimensional, meaning you have to deconflict intersections with stop signs, stop lights, low-speed traffic circles, or huge cloverleafs. Also means that adding more road capacity directly eats into land use. This drives density down, increasing travel times overall. It also is a huge barrier to foot traffic, bicycles (for high speed roads), and wildlife.

2) Weather. Inclement weather limits when you can drive on roads and how fast as well as reducing safety dramatically and reduces capacity.

3) Speeds. Can't safely go 125mph on a road unless you have a LOT of space to accelerate. Even on the autobahn, this is pretty dangerous.

Tunnels are 3D and do not take up space from other things, deconflicting the tension between single-occupancy vehicles and buses (and other modes of public transport). And small tunnels (gas, water main, electrical and telecomm conduit, storm sewer, and sanitary sewer) are already ubiquitous, going under basically everyone's property and in multiple levels. This is especially so in large cities, when the size of those existing tunnels can approach what Musk envisions.

If you could somehow dramatically lower the cost of tunneling (and tunneling in particular, not trench-and-covering, which disturbs the surface), then you could do transport much more efficiently.

New York City shows what a great subway system is like and how tunneling enables efficient transport in spite of huge densities. But it's 100 years old, and for whatever reason (labor costs, safety, etc) we simply could not afford to build another system like it nowadays.

You wouldn't say the Kim dynasty are de facto monarchs? Here's a fuller definition of "republic": a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.

Who exactly nominated and elected Kim Jong-Un? "Eternal President of the Republic" doesn't sound much like a representative of the people to me. It sounds like an emperor who's dishonest about his role.

I think you're saying you intentionally use an unpatched OS with known actively exploited and patchable vulnerabilities, you do so in situations where the machine is connected to the public internet, and you think the thing you should be worried about is Microsoft attacking your machine via Windows Update.

Probably wouldn't work in the general case, as each of the bytecode streams would generate memory accesses that are completely independent.

Not to restate the obvious, but SIMD relies on locality of data access to keep the SIMD unit fed with enough data bandwidth.
Yes, it was a typo (in my mother tongue it lacks the "h"). BTW, for ethnocracy I mean e.g. regions with 55% of people having language A, 35% people having language B, but because being ruled by people having language B (because in some provinces of that region the vote of one citizen is worth up to 3 times than in other more populated provinces) you have mandatory monolingual school and administration in language B (yes, that crazy -if you ask for bilingual/trilingual schools you're told "fascist" or "against the people"-). Go figure. That's the "democracy" we have in some regions in the European Union. That's why I want the EU becomes one unified country, so civil rights get respected, and totalitarian regional governments get forced to respect the rule of law, so citizen's civil rights get respected.
That's wrong. If you run a large installation of computers, and you do not have a plan and a process for quickly deploying security patches, you should be fired with cause.

In this specific case, there are mitigations available that do not require installation of software, but merely a configuration change. Also in this specific case, the people who run IT at NHS are completely incompetent, and this has been well-documented for several years.

In the general case, "I have a lot of machines" is an excuse provided by the unable to evade being held responsible by the uninformed.
This is great, this will help getting support of a Python "stack" for enterprise projects. At the moment I am mostly doing them in C#/VB.net and always need to discuss a lot to get Python acceptance when scientific workload is required (it is easier to say Fortran + C#/VB.net than Python!).

Now, I will be able to add: "Microsoft is fully supporting Python" and this will basically close the deal. I am happy.
As to your question, you've already agreed not to charge for your patch by the fact that you've utilized the GPL to access the code in the first place.

Nothing about the GPL stats that you can't _charge_ for your software, in fact RMS explicitly encourages people to make money from free software. You just can't restrict the buyer from redistributing it once you sell it to them.
I'm sure this sort of stuff doesn't help with speedy updates.

There's a somewhat more simplistic version of that on the above-linked results, which is four centered, horizontal lines, each decreasing in width from top to bottom, which I think communicates basically the right idea: you have a much of this thing up here, but you can get less of that thing down here by clicking this (maybe). Conceptually speaking I like it more than a funnel, but it still needs a text label to convey the right thing.

There's also a literal filter icon, which could only ever work at somewhat larger sizes due to the mesh. Without knowing that the context of the search results is that of "filter", however, you probably wouldn't know what it was by simply looking at it.

Generally speaking though, it's easier to go from maths/stats -> programming than the other way.
Let's consider the opposite of blasphemy for a second, which is the vigorous upholding of a religious belief and the preservation of nonoffended sensibilities.

So I am expected to believe that God created thousands of human religions (4,200 according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religions_and_spiritua...), and caused us all to get born into one at random, essentially entering us all into a lottery to determine where we end up on the "eternal torture or joy" scale in some hypothetical afterlife?

Do religious people realize that the reason there are 4,200 to begin with, and not like 5 or even 1, is because a charismatic fellow or female can create a new one (or an offshoot) at any time, and there is no rational way to determine which is actually more correct? (We actually already have systems in place to determine which of 2 opposing beliefs about the truth are correct, thus causing them to merge into an objective account of "the truth"- The courts and the science labs use them all the time!)

And people actually kill each other (or merely oppress minority beliefs) over these irreconcilable differences of belief, evidence be damned?

And that these beliefs cannot be criticized or questioned, no matter how many ethically-arguable human rights violations they encode into holy law?

This is an offense on MY sensibilities (again...) and I don't know what to do about it (except occasionally rock the boat). Sorry about the rant, this article made me viscerally angry and I know that's irrational and a nonargument. Religious folks are of course always welcome to chime in, I will be civil, sorry if I offended (truly).
Grandparent talks about freedom but it's only freedom for the upper and middle class. That's not freedom, that's privilege.

In cities where public transportation is expected, places you want to go tend to be clustered better, so you can walk/bike/bus/train to several things at once.

"Location location location" has to consider foot traffic.
There are at least two basic flavors of a republic:

* one that puts emphasis on democracy,
* another that puts emphasis on liberalism.

I forgot the exact terms for them, especially the second one. The basic difference is that the first one says any action is valid as long as it was democratically chosen. The second says freedom of one person ends where freedom of the next person starts. Otherwise, anything goes. The second one has high respect for laws, constitution and institutions, in an attempt to assure the system doesn't degenerate. Ancient Athens were an example of the first, Sparta - regarded as the realized utopia by ancient Greeks - example of the latter.

It is perhaps little known that USA's Founding Fathers had more faith in Sparta's system than the Athenian one. Things we (the western civilization, broadly speaking) owe to Sparta are: strong costitution, president (2 kings in Sparta), ministers (ephors), senate (Gerusia; council of elders had the strongest power in Sparta), the lower house ouf the parliament (Apella, gathering of all citizens above the age of 30), although you might argue Apella was closer to common voting.

There's a morbidly fascinating series about Spartans by the History channel. I highly recommend it. They had a really unique political system, resembling BOTH fascism and communism.

But I digress. Democracy, without laws and institutions acting as safeguards, is a cruel system. I remember there were only a couple of years Athenians DIDN'T vote to open a year by starting a war. Without safeguards, if someone is disliked enough, he can be sentenced to death and you don't need a proof. Athenians did that to Socrates, because he was unpleasant to be around due to his biting critique. Athenians also had a system where officials and judges were assigned to their posts literally at random, using a lottery machine with marbles. The same person could be charged in a court and some time later assigned as a judge in his own case. Talk about conflict of interest.
Very delayed follow-up, but I wanted to respond: you're 100% right.

Any progress at all is better than no progress. If being able to deal with social interactions by utilizing a cheat day helps stick to the diet -- helping to shutdown excuses, helping to be the "weekend" at the end of a long work week, etc -- then that's a useful model to adopt.

The new form_with is bugging me. It doesn't generate id's on inputs anymore, so you have to manually add `id: 'field_id'` so that clicking labels focuses on the input. Not having the id attribute has also broken Capybara's `fill_in 'Label text'` for me.
Maybe we need to talk about consent here. Should speech where one party doesn't consent to having a conversation at all really be protected? How about disrupting speech between other people who mutually consent to it?

> But then the law could still be improved to allow a little more leeway for companies that are responsible.

Bad companies already try their darndest to present as responsible, and if they never succeeded there wouldn't have been call for these regs in the first place. I don't think making a determination as to who "is responsible" and loosening requirements makes any sense - Enron and WorldCom would probably have been "responsible".

Better would be to try and align the regulations so that they have minimal friction while people are acting responsibly. Maybe you don't need a key and active oversight to make a change - maybe the change can be logged non-destructively and audit can happen after the fact.
