The fact that you have to make this distinction in order to clarify the progressive case shows a rhetorical weakness in the position.

Progressives should want to avoid this having be part of the field of discussion. You don't want to get into a fight about what you really mean, particularly when there are so many who are eager to misrepresent progressive motivations precisely as the desire to try to make everyone equal in outcome. And this makes it trivial for political opposition to persuade people who value conscientiousness to be suspicious of progressive positions.

Just start with "fair deals" as the value.

Understand, but that's not exactly what I'm arguing here. Pharmaceuticals definitely need big pocket books to finance medical research. But market forces alone are clearly not the answer for even that market. There are many illnesses not profitable enough to warrant medical research - and people suffer and die as a consequence. In effect, then, the profits pharmaceuticals make on one medication are really then coverage for later costs. That makes them not profit anymore.

I'm not saying the world needs 0 margins. If anything, that's contributing to the problem. Walmart and Amazon are good examples. Their cost structures have annihilatd entire, local economies.

My Sunday morning guess would be to look for ways to lower the entry costs for businesses. Maybe municipal level infrastructure for local consumers? I don't think "trust busting" would work in isolation. Over time, the markets probably re-concentrate.

MIT never sent me or POURNE a bill for the all the networking and computer services, personal guidance, tutoring and support we received pro-bono from the MIT-AI Lab staff, so it was free to us, and I for one appreciated it and am grateful.

RMS even custom wrote POURNE some free software at his request. You can't put a price on this: "He was immensely helpful to me in those days, patiently showing me things about emacs — his full-screen editor that he wrote in TECO, and the less said about TECO the better — as well as adding some special code to take care of things I wanted to accomplish."

https://www.jerrypournelle.com/reviews/bookmonth.html

But they did send me an official MIT AI Lab Tourist Policy that I had to promise to abide by in order to use their machines, which I gladly signed and returned and followed. And POURNE was flushed because he clearly violated it, not because of his politics.

http://www.art.net/~hopkins/Don/text/tourist-policy.html

>13. Any use of the MIT ITS machines for personal gain, profit making enterprise, or political purposes is not a legitimate use of the Laboratories' computer resources.

>14. These specific statements of policy give a minimum of how a tourist ought to behave to be a responsible user on the MIT ITS system. They are not a complete list of all the ways tourists should or should not behave. Just because some particular anti-social behavior is not listed does not mean that it is acceptable. What a tourist should do is cultivate a good attitude: make a positive effort to anticipate and avoid actions that would interfere with other users. If you cannot tell whether a certain course of action can interfere with any one, find out from someone else before trying it.

It's so ironic you're trying to Gish Gallop with tired talking point against big government, which funded the ARPANET, and which is currently busy dealing with a series of natural disasters, while you are trying to smear the MIT-AI lab as a bunch of communists. My failure to respond to all of your posts within your expected time frame is because they're simply not worth responding to.

I miss the Google of the “to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful” era.

Tapeworms are a two stage parasite. The adult phase lives in the intestine of predators (like us). The larval phase stays dormant inside cysts embedded inside the meat of herbivores.

The adult tapeworm leeches nutrients from the intestine and lays tons of eggs, which go into the feces. These eggs then contaminate the environment and end up being eaten by herbivores. The eggs hatch inside their stomach and the larva embed themselves in the meat of the herbivore (and can even get in the brain). Finally, when the predator consumes uncooked meat contaminated with tapeworm larva, these larva further develop into adult tapeworms.

Each species of tapeworm is tuned to a specific species of herbivore. Cow tapeworm eggs often go right past us because they expect a tougher stomach than ours but pig tapeworm eggs can get confused because our stomach is similar to a pig's. Their larva can then embed into our meat, which is terrible for us but a dead end for the tapeworm (because we have no natural predators ourselves)

-----

To protect against intestinal tapeworms only eat well cooked meat. (For raw meats like sushi, deep freezing is also an option if done right)

Preventing tapeworm cysts is more about sanitation. Have clean water for drinking and irrigation and ensure that fruits and veggies are well cleaned. Good personal hygiene helps, in case you are already infected with an adult tapeworm (and therefore at risk of autoinfection).
Why does pausing the video matter? Pausing the video sounds more like blocking content than not.
Over the years, I am willing to bet that the average US adult over the age of 40 will have given their SSN to hundreds of organisations already... There is no realistic way to guarantee the secrecy of an SSN at this point - Equifax's breach notwithstanding.

For me, the takeway isn't that the supposedly private SSN has been leaked but that it's been leaked with so much other information that, all added together, give bad guys a fantastic haul with which to run amok.

This, combined with the timing of the notification and the dodgy answers coming back from the automated online systems telling you that you "may" have suffered shows a total lack of regard for your data! You are now purely a commodity that corporates can use to their own ends. This is so glaringly obvious now.

Why companies are allowed to hold so much info on us is the issue here: moreso, why are they not held to the highest of standards? Even a simple "each bit of personal data given to the wrong person will result in a $500 fine for the company" would soon add up.

The danger is that these companies (I mean all the credit agencies) push this onto the consumer to "manage". In fact, now that I read this back, it's pretty much a certainty at this point.

Unless someone goes to jail, or Equifax are shut down Arthur Anderson-style, then this will disappear!

I think so. Jpeg is an enabling technology just like classification using neural nets. The interface is relatively simple in both cases, the applications are plentiful. Some meta data needs to be supplied to make sure the results are optimal. Both are quite complex under the hood and would require ample study in order to re-create them or in order to fully grok how they operate in every detail. But for high level applications - even if such knowledge would give you an edge - that in-depth knowledge is not a 100% requirement.
I will like to know what's the ethical standards of the people that are trying to push for this legislations. Do they realize that they can be victims themselves of this kind of abuse?

I have a hunch that by shunting blood between different creatures, mosquitos and similar “parasites” may have -once- played a crucial role in the evolution of many species.

Whether that role is necessary now or not, we cannot know for certain. Of course though, we can and should limit their ability to cause “suffering.”

Imagine us killing all bees to extinction because their stings hurt, then realizing that they were necessary for many plants.

It's always interesting to see which parts of our lives are incompatible with free markets (at least for a majority of society). It's a very peculiar moral that you mustn't evict people from their homes after they've lived in a place for a certain amount of time. It shows that being a renter in a neighbourhood after a while creates some sort of (legally enforceable) kinship that is incompatible with a free market for housing. But I think it's very arbitrary that we don't have a problem saying to outsiders "we won't allow you to live here (even though you'd be willing to pay a lot for it)" however saying to someone "you can't live here anymore (unless you pay more)" is a cardinal sin.

Equifax’s Instructions Are Confusing. Here’s What to Do Now
Literacy rates in the 1800s were low. Therefore, being literate was a status symbol, and there was more focus on the idea that you could be more literate than someone else. I think what happened in that time was a kind of competition, where critics like these had a tendency to write things that are more difficult to read, in an attempt to prove how much more literate they are. If you wrote something that a plebeian could understand, you're obviously not as literate.

So there was a lot of criticism of the superficial aspects of the writing - "bad rhetoric, involved syntax, stilted sentiment and incoherent English". The words and the "English" are excessively focused on.

Today we take literacy for granted, and anyone who tries to sound more literate is shunned (/r/iamverysmart).
Anyone can make arbitrary withdrawals or transfers with only the info printed on the check (modulo fraud detection of course). People just don't know or don't think about the total lack of any technical security of their money.
I also like how you can make part of the post hidden by default, so you can have a summary and then people click to expand if they're interested. I see that used a lot in my timeline. It's kind of best of both worlds where everybody isn't posting walls of text.
I mostly use a procedural style (i.e. C like) in java, for working out new ideas in solo projects.

It's simpler, more flexible, less verbose and easier to follow than a full-on OO style. A great example is the early calculatoe e.g. in ed 2 vs 3 of the compiler "Dragon" book: older uses C, later uses OO java... and it's so much worse.

However, OO is great for wrapping up modules of functionality for which you've understood and settled on an informed architecture (or you just need to sweep repetitive boilerplate away).

I think inheritance is just about completely useless (but not quite completely), and (java) interfaces are great - if you have more than one implementation.

Big, multi-person projects are a different story.

I don't use much fp-style, except where recursion is natural (e.g. parser combinators); or for plug-in functions (hardly fp though).
Primarily a Python and Go programmer.

OO: Only rarely, and only where it really makes sense. Most programs I work on are not complex enough to justify the overhead (boilerplate, cognitive).

FP: I use this more, but again, only when I can really justify the added cognitive overhead.

You'll notice the two references to cognitive overhead: I have adapted the "write for a 6th grade level" idiom into programming. I want as many people to be able to pick up the code and modify it as possibly can. I work with everything from interns to decades plus veterans, and my code must be grok-able by both. Pure FP tends to confuse interns, and veterans have a tendency to hate the layers and layers of indirection and abstraction OO brings into a program.

Normal and boring old "an imperative main method with functions" tends to be the least offensive and most understandable to all parties. Compromise r fun.
This reads like an academic paper created by 'machine learning' to be unintelligible yet look legitimate at-a-glance...
PHP. Good old procedural PHP. Cleaner than most OOP and FP projects in the wild and I can code large things quickly and easily. The code is very maintainable as well. I even avoid PHP's OOP solutions with the exception of PDO which I wrap in procedural functions.

Ah yes, and modern constitutions and democracies came to be from goodnes of old aristrocratic hearts!

Events like french revolution were key drivers of reforms that brought around the modern democracy. While they weren't as bloody outside of France, they certanly did influence movements in other countries across Europe and forced their absolutists to accept the necessity of a parliament to curb their powers.

Even IF new wealthy people took the positions, they end result for general population was an improvement of living conditions.

It read to me as poor use of statistics (as in the statement that the average human has slightly more than one ovary and slightly less than one testicle).

I think the top 5% is not a complete source to pay for healthcare. But I think the top 15% is. Under some assumptions of incremental tax increases across the board, to distribute better and pay for healthcare needs, taxing the 80% at a flat 80% could do the trick.

> I would suggest that getting credit faster and more easily is not a benefit for consumers but a benefit to business also

Access to credit reduces poverty, internationally [1] and domestically [2]. It is also critical to letting poor and middle class individuals start small businesses [3]. Consumers and businesses benefit from financial systems that efficiently allocate credit. That's why both consumers and businesses voluntarily finance purchases with credit. (This is not a Panglossian claim that our system is perfect. Credit is better than no credit for consumers. Our current CRA system, while a complete mess, is still probably better than forcing trust to be re-ascertained at every commercial interaction.)
