There are parallels in the decline of boomtowns of the Industrial Revolution between the Rust Belt and the Rhine-Ruhr and Northern England, although declining European cities generally saw a lot more investment from their central governments.

More importantly, the European cities didn't experience the same degree of racialized shunning, as described by the Detroit-native urban planner Pete Saunders:

Most Rust Belt metro areas have seen little population decline from their peak (metro Detroit has lost perhaps 200,000 people even as the city has lost over 1M), and could easily be intact-but-rough-edged cities with cheap housing if there weren't the same dynamic of white flight from the core.

Why would they pay more? First, convenience - it's right in the store, you can just buy it without having to do a shady deal where you might get killed.
Second, big drug companies at scale will be able to manufacture for much less.
Third, there is a premium you have to pay for anything illegal to compensate the seller for the risk. So they are paying higher than it's worth anyways.

For someone who hasn't lived there, but has spent some time in Detroit, can you shed some light on whether it makes sense to treat Highland Park as separate "city" apart from Detroit? I realize it may technically have it's own boundary, but to an outsider Highland Park looks like a neighborhood of downtown Detroit. I mean, it's even halfway between downtown center and the Detroit Zoo. Since Detroit as a whole is having the same problem, including many other neighborhoods, I felt like the article talking about Highland Park as distinct and separate felt weird. Is there some context there that I might not understand?
The question was specifically about developed countries. If you look up the Wikipedia entry on wealth inequality [1] and sort the first column, looking down the list the USA appears to be the highest ranked country for inequality (ratio of earnings between richest and poorest 10%). Notably China is there, and Mexico and South Africa too, among myriad developing African and Central/South American countries.

Twins are copies? You are stretching a bit, I think. I understand you feel strongly about this, but you're not going to convince anyone with weak arguments like this. But, thanks for helping make my intent clearer.

There isn't frequently a situation in reality where a reduction in self preservation would be favored, even in the case of twins. Although I'd bet you would in fact find that twins express a moderately greater willingness to die for one another than other types of siblings.

It's far from "government barely existing". They exist in minimal form solely to extract resources from any remaining piece of value in the city. Eg:

"Then earlier this year, he got a letter saying 333 Midland wasn’t up to code and it would have to cease operations immediately. He took care of the minor matters the fire marshall requested, like installing exit signs and extra fire extinguishers. But he still can’t get a clear answer from the building inspector about what else needs to be taken care of"

Although I still see it as a difference, I think it's good to remember you DO have a say in 'private property' .... there's nothing magical or natural about private property. Private property is whatever society/the government says it is.

I usually assume all sorts of things[0]; I've become accustomed to living in a world where strict division between state and logic is assumed, even for relatively intensive stuff like trading platforms and very large ticketing systems.

Kubernetes has been more open to absorbing sticky, less-factored workloads than more opinionated platforms are. Red Hat have definitely made that point to folk whenever we and they are competing for business.

I had occasion to look at CRIU relatively closely in recent times. It is, as I said, early days, with annoying corner cases that need someone to patiently fix and polish (we ran into problems with networking, environment variables and process IDs).

In your case it will probably become attractive in the next year or two, because both Red Hat and Docker Inc (which is why I mentioned Docker) are touting checkpoint migration as a feature and I expect both will devote engineering effort to productionise it.

As an aside, if you're using the JVM, there was a really clever paper on coordinating the JVM G1GC and CRIU to greatly improve migration time: http://www.gsd.inesc-id.pt/~rbruno/publications/rbruno-middl...

I haven't done it in years but I'm 87.4% certain that you can put a html file in the local folder and hardcode the relative paths. It requires some non-web software to populate it with data but since most of it is static it should work just fine?

I use to rip torrent websites by de-paginating their browsable tables of things to hold 2000 entries each and saving it as .html. The search engine got with some dumb ajax thingy that would just perform a full text search on the link.textContent.

small print: The browser would still "download" the files before you could open them in other applications.

But I'm not sure if this local file access "security hazard" got patched.

If "you" are the product of your experiences (environment) acting upon your corporeal components (atoms, your "blueprints" etc), then isn't it true that the "me" from 1 nanosecond ago ceased to exist and a "new me" is actually being created in every new frame in time?

If you think of it this way, I don't see why being demolecularized by a transporter, and being reconstructed on a ship in orbit, is any different to walking across a room.

In both transitions the state of trillions of atoms in my body change, and I gain and lose atoms, the difference is only one of magnitude.

Do you really think there are 15X as many people who would buy a move for a dollar than would pay 15 bucks?
The real irony here is that Gene Roddenberry did not invent the transporter because he thought it was a good idea from a dramatic point of view, but because he was forced into it by budgetary constraints. Back in the 1960's it was way beyond the financial means of a weekly TV show to produce a special effect of a shuttlecraft landing on a planet or in the shuttle bay for every episode, so they invented the transporter as a way of getting people to and from planetary surfaces with reasonable production costs. That real-world reality has shaped the face of science fiction for fifty years.

Nowadays we have the technology to fly spaceships around on screen pretty much at will, which actually presents a dramatic opportunity: someone could write a Star Trek episode where they actually take seriously the possibility that the transporter is a bad idea and ban it in favor of shuttlecrafts. I think this could make a really good premise for a novel and/or movie. It could even re-shape the face of science fiction for the next fifty years the way the original transporter did for the last fifty.

The idea may be somewhat novel, but not necessarily hard. That doesn't mean it's not worthwhile, but if you are working hard in your spare time to get a MVP ready, and someone else already has a business with the employees and developers in place to run with an idea, it can be hard to compete if they decide to put resources towards that idea. Normally you might actually have a small but happy customer base before you get real competition if your idea is novel enough.

That is't exactly the point I was trying to make originally though. The point I was trying to make is that I doubt most small businesses are special snowflakes that can't be replicated. There are of course details that are specific to that company, but I doubt most of those are required for successful function of the company were someone to try to copy the model.
Most private banks aren't established by an act of Congress and run by people appointed by the President and approved by the Senate.
Second, inspection of the cranium—which houses the brain—implied that brain development in Neanderthals may have been a slightly more protracted process than in Homo sapiens.

This can be read as yet more evidence that Neanderthals were smarter than homo sapiens, with an even more protracted childhood to allow for longer brain development. In saying this, I'm influenced by the old arguments that Stephen Gould made suggesting a link between extended development and many of the traits that we think of as uniquely human.

No, it's not obvious what the issue is. If you want to compile a C compiler, you need a C compiler binary. If you want to compile a rust compiler, you need a rust compiler binary. It's the exact same issue, but people don't whine about the C compiler, probably because it's been that way for 50 years.

...except the lyrics are a biiiit different than the ones made famous by The Animals in the 1960's. Though sung by a man, this older version of the song is from the point of view of a woman forced into sex trafficking at a whorehouse, warning her sister not to do the same. (The Animals' version was more about a man gambling.)

It's really a shame that no university library consortium has tried to build this themselves.

Nice angle I hadn't really crystallised in my mind. I'll meet in the middle and say that the problem is the combination of "is" and "me"; one sense of "is" applies to a particular sense of "me", and the other sense of "is" applies to the other sense of "me".

A state controls the money supply by granting itself a monopoly on money production (i.e. it outlaws the production of "counterfeit" money). Bitcoin uses a different strategy — while anyone is allowed to make bitcoins, the increasing production costs ensure there will only be a limited supply. At leasts that's my understanding of how bitcoin works. At any rate, none of this has anything to do with being fiat money. Fiat money means that the money is backed by "trust", i.e. people accept it as currency because they trust that others will also accept it.

Twins are the closest thing to an exact copy that exist in the real world, that's not remotely stretching, it's trying to ground it reality to make the silliness of the fiction obvious. Like all analogies, it's flawed, try and see the point rather than pick on the flaw. Uh no I don't feel "strongly" about a conversation about identity vs equality of Star Trek transporters, you're projecting. And dying for the love of another isn't remotely the same thing as your original statement, you've moved the goal post.

Bitcoin is a commodity of value, but WoW gold is not? Subjectively applying the law. I don't understand how you can't see this.

Law enforcement and governments don't have unlimited resources. Frivolous crimes should not be pursued as vigorously as crimes of violence and physical/financial/corporate victimhood.

Nor is it unusual for people to sacrifice themselves for communities, nations, or even ideologies. "Self" is not as narrow a concept as naive philosophies assert.
The copyright industries' efforts are both strategic and clueless / misguided at the same time. The very attempt at hedging their obsolete business model instead of adapting to a new situation will be their undoing, as has been the case with many other obsolete business model before.

I don‘t find the fact that they were able to convince politicians to aid them in this to be particularly surprising. After all, good PR is an essential part of their business model. Additionally, heir products also tend to have a certain emotional appeal.

Meh. We already had full femto on a carrier network compromised. They fit in a backpack and are easy to power on batteries. And we actually use them for full MiTM. It has been done in the field. Your concerns are reasonable.

I use Linux but I've never used parallels. At first, I thought you were making that up.

But, I looked at your username and realized I have seen you post before - and I couldn't imagine you being dishonest about this. You just don't seem like the type to make this sort of stuff up.

So, curious, I headed to Google.

Sure enough, and for those who don't know, the author wants you to cite parallels when you use it in conjunction with something that is going to be published. Now, to be fair, I've always included citation of the tools involved when I published. However, nobody has ever asked me to directly and nobody has nagged me to do so.

If anyone is unfamiliar:

https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/

This appears to be the original thread about it:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/parallel/2013-11/msg00006...

It's a bit taboo, I guess. You can pay money and not have to cite it. You can also feed it the --will-cite argument and it won't bug you. Still, it is in probably in poor taste. If nothing else, it is unconventional.

I didn't find a whole lot of complaints about it. The only hyperbolic outrage was, interestingly enough, someone on HN who was quite uptight about it.

I guess Ole is within his rights to do that, but it is certainly unconventional. I wonder if anyone takes his inflated number of citations as a negative against him?

From what I've now read, there don't seem to be a whole lot of complaints. Even the mailing list thread was short and didn't contain any drama. The only drama I found was the post on HN.

It seems to work just fine for tobacco and alcohol - a black market certainly exists for these drugs, but it's tiny in comparison with legal sales.

On top of this, the increase in safety - getting a pure product that is what it claims to be - would likely be a no-brainer for most users.

Like SSNs (with a defined purpose), IMbs "use" is to help the USPS sort and deliver the mail without manual handling.

Large mailers (billions of pieces per year) get a postage discount by applying such barcode to all the pieces. (edit: any mailer can get the discount. it just adds up for the larger mailers) Those pieces are delivered to USPS facilities, dumped into the auto-sorters and end up at the local post office with no human handling.

It should not be used for anything else except handling mail.

You think that because you read it in blogs and don't have the experience yet to see which of these articles are bullshit.

It's not true though. The reason it seems that way is because the human species is so rich, that you can make a good living for 2-3 more generations by screwing other humans over. And if you're not one of the screwers the blog article you read is certainly tailored to screw you.

Maybe if space flight becomes more available, but here on this planet all of value is already controlled by someone. And they don't intend to share it with you.

Without growth there is no stability in society, exactly because people need to screw each other to stay floating. So the system is on a downturn. And you can be sure that no matter what we find next to exploit, it will require another system to stabilize on.
