That's the one sentence from the article that seemed false to me, too. Even though I've lately started to meet more and more people who are a combination between hipsters and corporate drones and who have started putting a lot of value into things that the wealthy might have found enjoyable: trips to faraway lands (Philippines, Sri Lanka, Palau), hiring a small boat to hop through the Greek islands in the Aegean, getting their designer clothes from outlets outside of Italian cities like Rome and Milan etc ("everybody wears Zara! you don't want to be seen wearing the same thing as your colleagues") etc

It seems only logical to me that legalising sex work will make it harder for human traffickers via reduced demand for illegal sex workers.
Diversity quotas are not the same thing as promoting diversity.

From experience in New Zealand, where prostitution is also legal for citizens and permanent residents, it doesn't do much to increase human trafficking.

I'm not going to pretend it's all clean - certainly there's underage, trafficked and exploited people. However that's still the case when it's illegal, the difference is how we can find and protect those who have been exploited by others.

When prostitution is legal a prostitute can go to the police without fear of prosecution (but not persecution unfortunately - less of an issue here because the laws were loosely enforced). Additionally a legitimate business is more attractive to most customers, so a legal businesses subject to inspection and record keeping requirements are more likely to take business from the less legitimate ones.

My personal opinion is that prostitution is here to stay. We should focus on the safety of those involved. Giving them a criminal record is certainly not going to get them away from prostitution.

Actually, what I was trying to say was that the document cannot be simultaneously non offensive and yet offend everyone reading it unless "everyone is stupid = has bad reading comprehension"

I don't think everyone has bad reading comprehension, tbh. It is what parts of the document that you focus on - the ones that align with your existing world view - that cause you to agree with it or get offended by it.

Some see it as "just sharing an opinion" and others see it as "questioning my capability of doing the tech job"

Both sides are reading the same document.

In order for cool to exist, there must be un-cool, which is everyone else.

So you're completely right in that hipsters aren't trying to show that they're richer than others. Just that they're better. In that sense, hipsters and the conspicuously wealthy are united.

Is this is the only metric to warrant having an opinion?! Every stakeholder has a right to speak their mind. For the employees, they may not have the money to buy into the business but they do so via sweat equity (effort + time + risk).

Your attempt to trivialize their involvement amounts to nonsense for these reasons.

Of course it is. But who is to say that those legal businesses don't partake in human trafficking?

There are legal brothels in Australia found with links to international human traffickers. If Australia has this problem with far more police powers than American police have, who is to say that the problem won't be rampant in the US?

I am all for legal prostitution if it reduces human trafficking. My argument is just that you can't assume that what works in Australia will necessarily work in the US.

Well, at my current position I am certainly resting, but not vesting, so I'm torn about what to do. On one hand, I have lots of time to do my own projects, but instead I've been very lazy and mostly read HN :/ and on the other hand, I am at the low end of the pay spectrum for my experience. I'd rather be paid more, but I don't want to have to work harder for it than I am now.

Somehow The Netherlands, once a front-runner on legalisation of drugs and prostitution, seems to become more strict lately.

For example the local government of Amsterdam is trying to close the window brothels [0] in the cities' Red Light District and many cities now have a policy where they don't grant licences for new coffeeshops and wait for the current licenses to expire [1]. The cited reasons for wanting to close the coffeeshops (too close to schools, within 250 meters) are stupid since every Dutch student rides a bicycle and for my friends it was no big problem during a free hour to bike for a few kilometers to buy and smoke hash or weed. My friends did this many times (none became a worse person for it, either).

Serious question: who says it "makes everyone better off"?

Fancy new technology is not of much comfort to people who back in the day could buy a house and send their kids to college with a single blue collar income-earner and now can hardly find a job (and can't even dream of sending their kids to college with their puny earnings).

>if technology makes everyone better off but increases inequality, is that a bad outcome? Why or why not?

Also, humans are not animals to just need food and shelter. For humans it's not just what you have, it's also what you have relative to others. That's why nobody in the US considers a "trailer park" person fortunate just because they don't live in a third world slum or in a cave like people did in 10.000 B.C. -- we consider their position relative to a current baseline. If that gets too out of balance, people have issues.
The next step after that is telling the various people you work for that, actually, you've got subcontractors doing the work now and your job is to manage them. At that point, boom, you've just built a development agency.

I think it would be a better like a dutch auction with a twist.

Regulation should determine the minimum number of competitors a market should have (N).

Say there are 5 companies bidding for service (each targeting 1/N of the market).

* 100 for 1/N

* 120 for 1/N

* 125 for 1/N

* 150 for 1/N

* 200 for 1/N

The lowest N bids win, the less expensive winners receive some percentage of the difference between the highest rate and their rate as a bonus. (Which could be 100%, could be 0%, I feel 1/N % is fair)

I also think that N should be targeted based on the type of work. Things which require /many/ bodies, like utilities, construction/repair, etc should favor far more successful businesses within a market. Things that require more substantial investment of resources should be more tightly regulated; vertical and horizontal integration (but not public feedback loops such as 'it would be really beneficial if your processes were nicer for this type of target') should be broken up where-ever possible.

Most crucially the regulating bodies should be thin. They should have extremely clear mission statements. They should also be directly accountable to, and elected by, the public. That process should not have the defects of today's elections, no artificial sub-regional representation and no pre-election filtering of choices (other than, perhaps, a minimum signature requirement to get /on/ the ballot).

I think it will reduce human trafficking in that it would be much easier to monitor for human trafficking whereas in the past with some sort of grey-zone criminalization, you would have to actively first detect for sex workers, convince them that you are not arresting them, and then figure out if there are human traffickers or crime involved.

Its one less step if you can more easily monitor and the sex workers can speak freely to police.

In fact I'm more about how they treated sex work in several historical governments in the past and that is only government-operated brothels are allowed.
Depends. If the the method it proposes do have an advantage over other methods, and generalizes well, it is a good paper nevertheless.

Cheers everyone, this is Sean Yang, CEO and cofounder of Airmule, the air courier startup with an admittedly strange name that you might have read about earlier today.

Is Airmule legal?

On Board Couriers (OBC) have existed over decades. Their purpose is to service cargo that needs to be delivered in a timely manner. It’s quite an expensive service, often servicing auto parts, airplane parts, important documents, passports, NASA parts, etc. Costs can vary from a few hundred to thousands of dollars. To become an OBC is simple, just call any OBC company and register on their list. In our case, we simply request you to list your trip. The OBC companies size doesn’t have to be the same as Fedex, UPS or any airline cargo department. As long as they follow the TSA’s IAC regulation, only ship items from a “Known Shipper,” and have the cargo secured in a locked area inaccessible by outsiders. At Airmule, we have a surveillance camera over cargo 24/7. (49 CFR 1544.228, 1546.213, 1548.15, 1548.16, and 1548.7.)

So yes, OBC’s are totally legal, as well as all OBC companies. I see many ask the answer to “Did you pack everything yourself” question. The answer is to be honest with Airline company “No, I didn’t. I’m an OBC and I have the manifest, and I know what’s inside my luggage”.

Every single traveler will receive a manifest prior to receiving Airmule shipments Airmule is 100% responsible for the items on the list.There are items we don’t accept if they don’t comply with our policy or the destination country customs policy:

For example:

1. Powdery items.
2. Pills, medicine, prescriptions
3. Unclear liquids (wine, etc.)
4. Live plants
5. Animal products (elephant teeth, fur items, etc.)
6. Counterfeit items

If the Shipment is for commercial purposes, we will declare through the proper channel. We contract with a professional customs brokerage company for every single country we service. In that case, couriers simple leave the item at customs, a receipt will be issued by Customs, and Airmule will handle it onsite, couriers will be relieved from duty at that point. Airmule is not “Smuggling”. We do pay duty on behalf of shippers. Our shipping policy is very restrictive with Senders responsible for all duty fees.

For those who “likes” the name, we can’t do anything about it. Regardless of what we are called; it sounds like you don’t want to work with us. We just hope one day, when you need something urgently, that Airmule is a better and more affordable option to help with delivery, and saves your day.

Airmule has been running for almost 2 years, we’ve helped thousands of travelers to see the world they never were able to see before. The deal we post is 100% authentic, but a very limited offer. In appreciation of your time to read this, we’d like to give a bonus for $100 if you use coupon “ISupportAirmule” when list your trip. If you still have concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at sean@airmule.com
In agreement with TeMPOraL, I think there is at least two different kind of ‘note taking’ or even problems to think about.

For coding problems or algorithms for instance, I honestly find it way easier and faster to type, even pseudo code or sequence diagrams (basically ascii art at that point). It specially helps to be able to move around blocks or ident/deindent, bold or format whole portions.

For more architectural or organizational problems, hand writing on a blank canvas is more efficient. Not faster in my case, but the freedom is unmatched.

Funnily enough, for math with equations and lot of symbols, I’m not proficient enough to have a free flow of ideas that I jolt down on paper mindlessly. There’s so much friction from the start that the burden of formating in a software for instance is negligeable compared to the struggle I’ll have to come to the right exceptions.
Yes, possibly! And on the flip side, Sweden's recent drops in European healthcare quality rankings could be due to advanced privatization too. 1980-2015 is too long a period to easily draw any single conclusion.

The larger point I'm trying to make is that Sweden is nothing like its Breitbart caricature. It's a very competitive free market economy with a hybrid approach to most social services. Socialism in the early 20th century sense doesn't describe 21st century Sweden.

Ok, let's say you're right.

1. Are you willing to leave behind, say, 40-50% of the population? Especially since that group could include people such as your parents or your partner or your kids.

2. If you're willing to leave them behind, what are you going to do with them?
Your point is contradicted by the fact that Germany, where prostitution is completely legal are the single biggest destination for human trafficking victims. Literally dozens of thousands of them.

Legalising brothels removes the social stigma from prostitute clients increasing demand for prostitution by the order of magnitude. Which gives human traffickers additional incentive.

I think that the good solution is what we have in Poland:
prostitution is legal for the clients and individual prostitutes but it is illegal for any third party (e.g. pimp) to interfere and make profit from prostitution. This gives a prostitute possibility to just go to the police and denounce her pimp, making it much harder to force her to sex work.
I explicitly mentioned in my comment that this is where I switch to paper.

I understand the US military is considered good, and not just because it's huge and has a lot of money to spend. I'm told the competence of the individuals involved tends to be higher than many other militaries.

Sure, it's just one data point.
The highlighting I have seen before (maybe in some other form). But the counting used features of CSS new to me, very interesting.
To answer that you need a way of equating money with "utility" (i.e. the use and/or pleasure that people get from their money).

I believe that utility is logarithmic with rate of expenditure. Hence doubling your spending rate gets you a constant increment in utility. This is why we measure pay rises in percent rather than absolute value. Another $100/week would make a huge difference to someone on the breadline, but is lost in the noise for a millionaire.

This means that money transferred from a rich person to a poor person will increase utility, because the decrement in the rich person's utility is more than outweighed by the incremenent in the poor person's utility. This difference can also accomodate the transaction costs (i.e. running the IRS) and the "deadweight cost" of decreasing the rich person's incentive to earn more.

This would seem to suggest that money should be redistributed so that everyone has the same amount, as that would maximise utility if the total amount of money is constant. But of course that condition isn't true: in a world with zero economic incentives there would be no economic activity. In reality of course such a world would go horribly wrong in any number of ways.

So there would seem to be an optimum amount of inequality in a society. Too little, and you destroy incentives to create new stuff, thereby making everyone poorer than they would have been. Too much and you are wasting valuable resources on gold plated baths that would be better spent giving poor people a tolerable standard of living, education, health care etc.

>If you can't keep up, that's not other people's fault for being better than you.

Who said they were "better than [me]"?

You seem to presuppose what in fact needs proving: that if someone ended richer than someone else, they were better to begin with. Except if you mean "better at getting rich" which is a tautology.

Between inheritance and class status of parents, and between connections and lucky chances (including geography and color), there are so many ways to undeservingly be more wealthy than someone else and so many ways the "starting conditions" are not the same that this is not even wrong.

Now, two types of people usually have difficulty seeing this: those that played life in 'easy mode' (well off parents, good education, etc) and can't see how it's not as easy for everybody, and people who managed to overcome bad chances and who, due to confirmation bias, can't see that the chances for what they did were slim for others in the same boat but attribute it all to their hard work and smarts (and the lack of those in others).
