As soon as those neo-Nazis commit a crime, they should be put away and the figurative "book" should be thrown at them.

But the moment our society makes it a practice of punishing people for throughtcrime and for what they might do or have yet to do, then we've become a literal dystopia from Science Fiction.

I'd be curious about historical examples.

My gut is that people come together and help each other for short-term disasters or where hope of help arriving is widespread (e.g. National Guard being mobilized, local disruption in a still functioning country).

Past ~week, or shorter if there's no hope for things being fixed, people reasonably revert to survival.
Maybe I misread, but I feel like solving P=NP would be closer to solving the continuum hypothesis whereas the article describes solving a related problem which could have disproved the hypothesis should it have been found that the two sets were not equal.
The ISPs are more traditional monopolies. However, our frameworks for evaluating what is too big need to evolve to handle things that traditionally were viewed as acceptable.

The same temperature is far less tolerable indoors than out. Particularly in modern buildings, which are designed for total reliance on central air systems and so don't have organic airflow. (Which also has advantages, mostly better use of space; but it introduces a pretty hard dependency on operating in those buildings for long.)

Most of the county at large doesn't do that, it's mostly just on the barrier islands. Most of them split East/West on the streets that parallel the strand (those beaches are all South facing, due to the weird shape of NC). Blame the local town governments for the beach towns, not the county. Generally speaking, disambiguation wasn't a big problem in most of the county... There might be two or three Smith Streets or something in BrunsCo, but if one is in Leland, one is in Shallotte and one is in Southport, there's not going to be any confusion.

I know I'll sound like a cultist, and I am, but I earnestly pitch to people that working at Amazon is an opportunity to get a free MBA.

People now realize that Amazon has been doing dev-ops for a long long time, but we've also been doing BizDevOps. If you want to, as an engineer, as project manager, as any role really, you can step up and get deeply involved in the business. It's never not your place.

As engineers, we can talk to customers, we can help decide pricing, more than that even - we can think about pricing as a technical parameter that can be used to influence the design of the system, we can choose the service name ("CloudFront" and "Route 53" came from team whiteboard sessions with beer and Chinese take-out). We can write the proposals for products, and so on. Now as a senior engineer, this year I contributed heavily to 3 different organizations strategic plans. No-one stopped me! I've learned a lot about business from our business review meetings, everything from relevant legal matters to how a P&L really works, how marketing works, and more.
Pipfile isn't a replacement for setup.py, it's meant to replace requirements.txt / how you specify the dependencies of your project. As you've noted, setup.py can do a lot more than that.
correction: "...current model of Medium"
By your peculiar logic cops are the proximate cause of crime because they are most frequently in areas where crime has occurred. And doctors are the cause of disease since they are near sick people most often. Or it may be possible that the CIA funnels weapons to enemy areas because that's where the people they are trying to kill are locate.
This seems vague and confusing to me. So it's one of those top-down grassroots organizations I can apply to join? Where we want to change the world however we want to change it?

Tunisia was non-violent for the most part.

Egypt wen't from Mubarak to defacto Erdogan under the Muslim Brotherhood then back to Mubarak 2.0 after the military took over because the MB was a nightmare.

Egypt was a much more complicated issue while force was used during the protests Mubarak had hardly had an iron grip over the people, and for the most part as far as dictators go history will remember him as someone who actually wanted to move Egypt forward he was a patriot which is a rare vice for dictators.

Releasing three tiers of iPhone at once is a bold move. (8, Plus, X)

I figured the reason why they made the 8 and X was because of supply issues. Release the 8s first because our supply chain is good for them. Some people just want the 8. Once the X is built then release that. Everyone is happy including shareholders.

Here is a parable: They came for the murderers and put them in prison. They didn't come for me because I'm not a murderer, and we're broadly ok with seeing murderers as being bad for society.

I'm not saying that your quote doesn't have power - it does. But the important aspect of it is that the targets were people the subject knows were being unfairly treated. So yes, if they start locking up homosexuals or Muslims or jews I'll refer to that parable and think "shit - I'd best do something".

"An app will allow you to unlock the box and cameras powered with computer vision will register what you’ve picked up, automatically charging your credit card."

From the second paragraph of the article.
We can't realistically expect service providers to completely allow free speech until we learn to separate the speech from the service on which it occurs.

Suppose a bunch of Nazis started frequenting Hacker News and dominated every thread with a discussion of Nazism. The site would pretty quickly become known as "that Nazi place" and everyone who's not a Nazi wouldn't want to go there, even if the people running the site don't share the opinions of the people using it.

It's not entirely rational, but if GoDaddy got a reputation as "web hosting for Nazis" that would severely limit their market and hurt their business, so of course they're going to jettison that customer in order to keep all the others.

For anybody that ever used some kind of math, it is obvious. But "counter intuitive" could be Mathematics middle name.
Google News concentrates mostly on news sites, which have an economic incentive to generate content that emotionally grabs you and spreads virally (i.e. clickbait). I get the sense that people are getting fairly outraged at all the outrage in the MSM & popular blog-based sites - I know I am - and are fatiguing of that. I'm concentrating on forums, blogs, and other user-generated content, which has no economic incentive to reach millions of people and so can be both more authentic and more informative.

For example, my current video game obsession is Factorio, which has about 200,000 users and will likely never appear in a major news story, because it's un-economical for a news outlet to write a story that has an audience of at most 200,000. Despite this, there are 4 active forums dedicated to it, which generate a few hours worth of interesting reading each day. This content is a lot more interesting to me than anything that appears on Google News, but it's a lot less interesting to the millions of other readers of Google News. But the beauty of computers is that we can match content up to precisely the users that care about it.

> Software is something that needs to be continuously developed and maintained.

Not always. Sometimes software is "done" and warrants no further changes or maintenance. I have run into this issue with mobile apps that worked perfectly to my satisfaction until the authors decided to "redesign" or "improve" it. I think subscription is a valid use case for customers who want active maintenance, but it should be opt-in. I detest the forced-subscription model that JetBrains attempted ("Didn't pay the latest subscription? We'll brick the application you've installed and are running on your hardware").
I have used Sublime for many years, but had to switch to Atom for a large mono-repo codebase, because there is no decent plugin on Sublime to exclude Git-ignored files from search. The only one available froze my computer every minute.
Sone of these may be more skewed than they should be due to similar jobs sometimes having more than one title, with the different titles being strongly associated with gender.

For example, in a small organization one person might perform the duties of a janitor and of a maid. If that person is male he will probably be called a janitor, and if that person is female she will probably be called a maid.

For those interested in this topic I might recommend Tim Wu's books "The Master Switch" or "The Attention Merchants". "The Master Switch" in particular is about the history of communications industries in the US and how the organization of those industries affected free speech. (Of particular interest: Bell had a government-supported monopoly for about 70 years, in part because people thought of monopoly differently in 1900 than in 1970.)

I read that Tim is also responsible for coining the term "net neutrality".

> uncompetitive-to-Java library ecosystem

React, Webpack, CSS compilers and pretty much all other modern frontend (compile-time) asset tools are running on Node.js and install from npmjs.com. Node.js is also perfect for a shallow web-facing container developed along with the front-end as a complement to Java-based (mini/SOA/whatever)-services. So I think it's quite useful to make Node.js workloads run under the JVM.

It's kind of worse than that. The various (temporary) islands, by default, would not make any decision to 'switch' to different islands. As islands reconnect, each time that happens, the larger island wins, and the smaller island automatically switches over.

Advanced R (work-in-progress 2nd edition) by Hadley Wickham
How about acknowledging that public-utilities are, in principle, a fine idea? In practice, public utilities and the messiness of democracy (especially at large scale) can lead to all sorts of potential corruption and inefficiencies (though not strictly necessarily).

Choice is far from a value to prioritize in and of itself. It's a check on power that monopolies and oligopolies have. Choice may be important, but not for its own inherent value necessarily.

When you say, "the power should be with the individual", taken to the extreme, that's an anti-organization view; anti-corporate, anti-government, anti-union, etc. and while there's solid philosophy around it, the fact is that coordination of individuals in the form of organized groups are so much more powerful than individuals. The individual right of association automatically leads to situations of power in the associated groups themselves. In other words, individual power is fundamentally unstable in social contexts. Tyranny of structurelessness etc.

What we're really dealing with in our market today is a supply-side power imbalance. The supply side is all organized into companies and trade groups, and they have tons of power. The demand side is divided into individuals in many cases, and that in itself makes them dramatically less powerful.

What we need is more demand side power in the balance. If there's any way to get that without totally overwhelming the important individual freedoms, it's worth doing.

There's no way to get what the supply side offers at all if we broke the supply side all the way down to individuals and blocked them from even forming companies at all. And the only way to actually balance company power on the demand side is to have some associations / teams etc. so that the demand side is similarly organized. Sure, that brings up potential risks to individual autonomy, but we just have to constantly adapt to keep a balance.
The author of the article makes a point about how it's everyone's right to go onto the street and voice your opinion. But if you'll be attacked and silenced any time you do that, so long as you don't hire the local protection, do you still have that right to free speech if the local protection doesn't like you?

Well, I didn't mean to say that people buying subscriptions are being ripped off.

But rather that companies that don't offer subscriptions can't game on features and bug-fixes just to fish for upgrade fees before people feel (rightly so) ripped off. There is an implicit agreement on the support provided and if the company fails to deliver that people won't play along.
I find an interesting parallel with hill-climbing and local optima. In your example, the reason everyone isn't a millionaire is mostly to do with the fact that that's a very noisy problem space, there are far far too many random variables at play, not to mention there's a finite supply of money, it's literally impossible for everyone to be a millionaire (well, you could inflate the currency to the point where a million dollars is nearly worthless, but that's just playing semantic games).

To me, one of the big takeaways here is that it's important not to be so hyper-focused on the local problem space that you overlook potentially better solutions and end up at a local optimum to your overall detriment.

As for the rest of the article, it's mostly hand-wavy garbage.

The access to nature is sold, including at national parks [1], just as access to the resources is sold.

In both cases, there's a market need being fulfilled; that's even more defendable for the resource extraction, as they're a business which must make an economic profit, or otherwise die.

I'm not defending resource extraction above preservation, however the above poster did make a solid point on the morality issue.

I'm not sure if this is exactly the sort of insight you're looking for, but personally I find that long periods of coding and being "in the zone" tend to affect my speech in the same way. Essentially, I tend to try to be as precise as possible when speaking, often going out of the way on increasingly specific tangents or finding the most elaborate examples to demonstrate what I mean. These tangents and examples always come back to the main point (so I'm not just wandering off), but when considering conversations in retrospect I find that they tend to just muddy the point I was trying to make.

Written language and code can afford the verbosity, because you can always review the earlier points to see how they tie in, but speech should be short and succinct, IMO.

I believe this is similar to (but not exactly) what is meant by "circumstantial speech" [0].

That said, the wikipedia article seems to indicate that what I'm trying to describe is similar to circumstantial speech, but actually isn't:

"Some individuals with autistic tendencies may prefer highly precise speech, and this may seem circumstantial, but in fact it is a choice that posits that more details are necessary to communicate a precise meaning, and preempt more disastrous ambiguous communication."

Does anyone know of a more accurate term for this?

I don't buy the idea that they can't starve this of with money - what are the politicians going to do when images of their extra marital affairs ends up on every billboard in their districts? Images that were taken by private detectives and paid for by google and the other tech companies?

Sure they might play the game like everybody else do, and just bribe the congress people. That would be stupid, but they can outspend most companies because they make so much money.
Interesting. One of the theories I've heard regarding a possible decline in educational quality in the US was that in the 50s, the most qualified women became educators due to a lack of other jobs, while today they become CEOs, etc. On the surface this data seems to contradict that.
What is that an argument for? It seems like you should be arguing why removing the jack is a bad idea, but plenty of good ideas could also be implemented purely to make money.
If someone claims that a certain class of problem that no one particularly cares about is in P, and then I prove that said problem is NP-complete, jumping up and writing a paper titled "P = NP" would be vastly premature. The previous claim that the problem is in P is now doing way more work, and thus needs to be reexamined.

> The strength of NIMBYs here is dramatically higher than in New York. That is supported structurally through the fragmentation of local politics.

Also the lack of developers. Probably owing to concentrated land ownership, e.g. the Getty family. New York's structural consolidation was driven, in part, by private companies developing real estate and transportation systems.

Developers seem to play a unique political role in organizing, in absentee, renters. Homeowners tend to self organize. This is because (a) they bet a lot of money on their houses, (b) have the time and money to politically organize, evidenced by (a), and (c) stay put for a while. Renters don't naturally self-organise. Developers naturally counterbalance homeowners by seeking to (x) increase housing supply and (y) consolidate small plots into larger ones, thereby also (z) driving density.
