The problem with that is that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you assume bad faith, you're more likely to act in such a way yourself, setting a low standard for the foreseeable future.

A lack of trust will also restrict your options. You'll spend more time making sure all contracts are watertight, or have to pass on opportunities if the legal system (which is the fallback option after 'trust') isn't capable to compensate.

It's also somewhat wrong on the facts: The idea of completely rational and selfish behaviour is called 'homo economicus', and it's among the worst of all the bad assumptions economics has made. Because as it turns out, it's almost impossible to find people acting in such a way outside of mental institutions.

The only rational and selfish test subjects are usually monkeys. Humans are willing to forgo all sorts of rewards for either altruistic or moral reasons.

That's exactly what they did in the OP: "the sequencing method is based on deep sequencing"
It's not the implication of tragedy, it's this:

> They were designing sentences not for people but for a thing: the aggregate level of crime. They wanted to reduce that level, regardless of what constituted justice for any individual involved. The target of Michael’s sentence was not a bright fifteen-year-old boy with a mild proclivity for theft but the thousands of carjackings that occurred in Los Angeles.

I guess it's just the overall tone that Michael is a victim of circumstances and the light treatment of the underlying fact that he paid for the consequences of his own actions.
Thanks for posting.

"Being poor is knowing how hard it is to stop being poor." hit me hard. I didn't grow up poor, but I can understand this sentiment. It's unfortunate that so many people don't take the time to think about societal conditions before placing "blame" on the disadvantaged.

By supplanting the government I really only meant The United States government. Google, it seems, is still willing to payout to foreign governments. Since they might actually Something that our government does often too, so it seems to sort of come with the territory of being one of the most powerful organizations in The US.

I'd be astonished if our government had the spine to levy such a fine against Google or start an anti-trust investigation for stuff like this which, to me, seems like a pretty obvious abuse of their power as a platform.
Grass is greener syndrome?
I think it's a stretch to say the system worked well in this case. Even if you accept the charges and sentencing, the correctional system clearly fails in its goal of rehabilitation.

Michael (the subject of the article) has only limited access to books, while in prison. education is shown to reduce recidivism, but Michael is limited to courses that don't require hardcover books. (Not many courses, in my experience.)

Few employers will seriously consider felons for jobs, and it is hard not to see this as a contributing factor to his recidivism and death.

I don't think the system worked here, very well, at all.

For those not following Firefox development too closely, there's a few major projects in the works right now:

- Stylo, the new CSS styling engine currently enabled for a percentage of Nightly users

- WebRender, a new GPU-based rendering engine that's currently in much earlier stages

- Quantum, an initiative to improve Firefox's real and perceived performance (there's a bunch of smaller initiatives that compose this, like Quantum Flow and Quantum DOM)

- Photon, a project to redesign and modernise the Firefox UI

Most (but not all) of these projects are aiming to ship with Firefox 57 later this year, but you can check them out now in Nightly. I've been using it for a few weeks and the difference is really night and day, huge props to all the Firefox contributors.
Here's where I addressed those concerns

A lot of people who have never been poor just think "oh, well, to stop being poor you just need to X, then Y, then Z." But they don't understand the implications, or the difficulty. Not spending money on anything you absolutely don't need is psychologically crushing, especially when that includes everything from dental care to replacement shoes. Finding the energy to continue advancing your employment and to work at disheartening jobs is also brutal. Imagine working at a place that treats you poorly but if you quit you might end up homeless. That takes a toll. And somehow you have to both endure such things while also protecting and nourishing the hope of a better future that makes it possible to put in the tremendous effort to work towards that future.

Meanwhile, the whole world is trying to take advantage of you in innumerable ways. Trying to force you to work off the clock for free (wage theft). Trying to charge you ridiculous interest rates on short term loans. And then you have to pay extra for things because you're poor. Some things you only buy when you're forced to in an emergency, so you can't buy them on sale or shop around. Other things you can't buy in bulk because you can't afford to. You can't buy stuff that lasts. Etc.
Wait, if that's a limited list, why is there anything listed before "everything not illegal" at all? Are there other things they do that are illegal? Or is that just designed to confuse and mask the last item?
Aside from preventing sepsis, it also reduced the risk of infections by both the major groups of bacteria: the Gram-positives, by 82 percent; and the Gram-negatives, which are harder to treat with antibiotics, by 75 percent. It even reduced the risk of pneumonia and other infections of the airways by 34 percent. That was “completely unexpected,” says Panigrahi, and it’s the result he’s especially excited about. It suggests that the synbiotic isn’t just acting within the gut, but also giving the infants’ immune systems a body-wide boost.

I don't know why they are so surprised. Given that some sources say the gut constitutes up to 70 percent of the immune system, it should be fairly obvious that improving gut health will have such effects.

Furthermore, you can infer a fairly direct relationship between gut health and lung health based on what happens in the body at altitude: You start urinating more to compensate for the thin air reducing your ability to exhale wastes. The body starts clearing them out of the blood by shunting them to the kidneys.

Probably not falling from higher.

Probably not being embarrassed with where to put one's long members. Probably not being uncomfortable in most means of transport. (Probably not offering a larger wind surface when cycling either.)

I agree that it's technically a worse name. Net neutrality is technically not a bad name - it just doesn't resonate and the stats on awareness (somewhat) reflect that. My point was more that it needs to better resonate with consumers. I'm not an expert in naming to come up with something actually better, but I am an expert in consumer behavior and know a name that lacks clarity when I see one...

None of Anker's batteries charge and provide power at the same time so they cannot be used as cheap UPSs.

I think you'd be better off looking at some of the DIY electronic battery things - eg WiMos battery shield or adafruit powerboost (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2465) and a LiPo battery, but they will only provide ~1 Amp.
That line is definitely true. After getting into a decent and safe living world, I ran into a situation. I was given advice on how to deal with it, and I swore I was talking to aliens. It really gave me pause and showed me the brutal reality of how different our worlds are. When I told others about the advice, they looked at me and said "wasn't that obvious to you?" Well, no it wasn't.

In my experience, getting out of poor is a multi-pronged deal. Getting out is 1/10th of the battle; the hardest part is not falling back in. It's like being dropped into the ocean with a canoe, while everyone around you is in steamboats.

Agreed - the word "freedom" in general is overplayed, but for a reason - it works with many Americans (for better or worse)...
Maybe it's time for Swift to decide whether it's going to stick to multicore systems or actually leave this single box mindset and enable distributed systems programming. I think designing for distributed systems first could lead to a lot of right choices from the beginning and would still allow for various optimizations later to get the best performance from multicore. Alternative is not very promising and provides a lot of room for really stupid mistakes. Either way, I'm glad to see actor model getting more traction.

I just wish that, if they're gonna shrink the seats, they would prevent them from reclining. That, I think is a big part of the reason why the smaller sizes are so terrible.

A few months back, I had a pretty terrible experience on a flight when the woman directly in front of me, who was maybe 5'2 and 120 pounds, decided to recline her seat all the way back. It made what was already a cramped flight for me (I'm definitely not 5'2 nor 120 pounds) pure torture. I did all I could to try to convince her to push it up, but she wouldn't.

The flight attendant—this was Delta, by the way, so screw them-sided with the person in front, saying it was "their right" to recline their seat in a way that makes people uncomfortable.

This was on top of a bad flight situation where I was dropped off to a different city than my luggage because my connecting flight was delayed.

The flight attendant tried to appease me with beer. She would have better appeased me had she ignored her airline's policy in what clearly was an unfair situation.

That's the problem with flying these days. They constantly force passengers to choose between one undesirable choice and another, and nobody is happy as a result.

Not just the UX, the performance as well: there are few things more infuriating than going to pause an autoplaying video, but you can't, because it slows down scrolling on the whole web page. Then you finally get your mouse over it and if you're unlucky enough that the controls have disappeared you've got to wait for whatever 1 sec+ latency for them to re-appear.
Then you've got to click them - an action once again, slave to huge amounts of latency provided it even works the first time.
Then once it's paused (if it had started playing), you've just got to hope that it won't just continue loading the rest of the video in the background.
What's amazing is the same people who blog or tweet saying that it is right that these companies ban these organizations based on content are the same people who seem to believe they believe in net neutrality. These people also spend tons of time online tweeting about how some group is acting to get rid of net neutrality. So are you for or against net neutrality? Make up your own mind if you're going to be criticizing others.

It's such a hypocrisy but nobody can speak out about this hypocritical behavior because then automatically they will be branded a nazi.

It's also stupid that every time I make comments like this that I have to clarify, double clarify, triple clarify that I am against these hate speech groups (which should be obvious), because if I don't include this line, I'm also suddenly a nazi.

All I'm saying is it's a hypocrisy if you passionately advocate for things that are completely contradictory to each other.
This happend to me multiple times when I was flying on a monthly basis with Swiss. I had the whole row for myself for about 3 hours. Its not so comfortable to lay down because of the seatbelts and the arm-holder on the window seat. I am 170cm tall and my feet were in the aisle and got sometimes hit by people. But it's truly nice to stretch my legs across three seats on the floor while leaning against the window seat. The first tray is for the notebook and the second one for drinks and food. That is truly comfortable.

I increased the likelyhood of this happening to me by buying the cheapest tickets possible for a range of multiple weeks (not enough customers) and for always choosing a window seat in the last few rows.
Often the seats where crowded in the beginning of the airplane but at least one middle seat was empty in the back.
Or an unfortunately timed eviction because you were the victim of a crime and called the police and your landlord evicts anyone involved in a police incident.

Or any of a hundred other causes that are just shit luck or bad timing.
