> Dont you consent to credit reporting when you sign up to get credit, though.

No, I consent to allow creditors to do their due diligence to see if I'm a viable candidate for their product. Equifax is not required in this transaction, it's just beneficial for the creditor, their customer, to use them to streamline that information collecting process. Loans and credit existed prior to credit reporting agencies and will exist long after.
ELLO 2M: A DIY Computer for Hobby and Education – Crowd Supply
A Simpler Case for Functional Programming and “Elegant” Code
Richard Murphy has written a book called The Joy of Tax, where one of the central arguments is that the generally accepted view of tax playing the role of funding government expenditure is incorrect, or at the very least, undesirable.

Instead we ought to view tax as being a tool which acts as a force of contraction in the economy, taking money out of circulation that has been put there as a result of government spending.

Both of these (fiscal) mechanisms - spending and taxing - ideally act as a mechanism to democratise the economy. 'Ideally' in the sense that the mechanisms for choosing and applying such policies are democratic, rather than authoritarian, subject to capture, etc. 'Democratise' in the sense that without this intervention, the 'market' has free reign - with ensuing consequences that influence over it is not in the hands of the many.

Libertarians (especially of the free-market ilk) may see this as a positive, however, I think it is plainly obvious that a market is never free, and has a tendency to concentrate wealth (and thus power). In my opinion, decisions over our collective efforts and available resources ought not to be in the hands of the few, but rather, in the many - via truly democratic mechanisms and institutions.

Federated systems are the middle ground between full centralisation (one provider) and decentralisation (everyone is a provider). They allow users to choose between the two depending on what they actually want.

With decentralised systems you are forced to run all computation and store all data yourself. The average user isn't going to buy their own server and run it 24/7. That's incredibly wasteful. Even in the best case scenario they will just get an "urbit server" from AWS or somewhere else.

The problem with centralised services isn't that they are centralised. The problem is that you are locked-in to a specific provider. You can't send messages to your facebook friends from your freedom respecting gnu social server or whatever. You have to install a dozen apps (facebook, whatsapp, telegram, etc) to talk with all your friends.
I feel the code I wrote while on this bandwagon is the hardest to understand for others and for me myself today.

Your argument isn't valid because without taxation there would be no public roads to trespass on. At least not federally.

And there are other solutions:

- Tax property owners to pay for roads near their buildings

- Toll roads

- Private ways (actually very common in housing developments and usually work even better than public ones because the landlord / homeowners association is incentivized to keep them well taken care of to keep people from moving out)

- Local income tax (something most libertarian's aren't against because living in a locale is a choice that is easier to change than, say, what country you are a citizen of)

- etc

An interesting mental trap people fall into is thinking that because currently something is paid for one way that taking away that source of income will mean it won't be paid for. The market has a way of working things out.

I am not philosophically opposed to nationalization in a case like this, where market forces do not have much influence, but I completely agree that the proposal address neither of the the major issues, which are a) incompetence in security, and b) the widespread use of identity and authentication systems that are predicated on a level of confidentiality that does not exist in practice.

Frankly, I don't know what should be done about b), but nationalization of credit reporting is not going to make any difference. As for a), as has been pointed out many times, one problem is that the people responsible do not have enough skin in the game. So long as the companies are private, something could, in principle, be done to to increase that, but in a nationalized industry, the responsible people would have even less personally at risk.

With me it's gotten to a point where I will pay for FedEx 2nd day air just to avoid FedEx Ground. My worst experience is this

https://www.fedex.com/apps/fedextrack/?tracknumbers=01384025...

It took ten days (counting from the 1st delivery attempt), and as far as I can tell five separate delivery exceptions (with the same address that I've used for any other delivery service, including FedEx 2nd day air), for them to finally deliver it. And guess what happened when I finally opened the package? The phone that is supposed to be in the package is gone (this is a pixel XL phone ordered from Google Store; fortunately Google is very responsible with this and in fact when I explained the situation to them they immediately acknowledged it to be a problem they are aware of)

Hey Mark, here in the "normal regular person world" that's actually already accepted. There's a name for it, its called empathy, its a basic human trait. The fact that you perceive that as somehow "unaccepted" shows just how disconnected from reality and clueless you actually are.

The fact that you see going on a road trip as something extraordinary and worthy of your vast PR machinery is nothing short of a joke.

Also I'm sure that embarking on a road trip while being surrounded by security detail and a team of PR flaks is creating an authentic experience for all involved.
Fire should be paid for with property tax.

Police and medical should be paid for by other taxes (probably also property tax but there are other solutions).[1]

None of them should be paid for by income tax.

This sounds like you are yearning for a more democratic system of government?

I think a key thing is to view 'democratic' as meaning more than merely the opportunity to choose - the common narrative around what a 'democracy' is. Rather, it is the opportunity to participate in framing of the choices, without pre-existing powerful interests having disproportionate influence.

Noam Chomsky is an easy reach for a reference to some thought on the matter. He's written so much, but here's the first thing that I find:

(Almost) All Android phones allow you to sideload apps without having to root, AFAIK. So you aren't really limited by the Play Store.
I don't agree with trying to create a public government-run institution to track how "reliable" each citizen is. The solution to all of this is clear. Credit agencies provide a service primarily to lenders. These lenders count on the agencies' ratings to be a reliable predictor of the reliability of its potential customers. If those companies' products are no longer a reliable predictor, they shouldn't use them.
Not if people really mean it when they say they are upset by the Russia news manipulation or Trump's incomplete withdrawal from ownership where conflict of interest could be perceived an issue.

It depends on if people have convictions against those complaints or they were simply "not our candidate" excuses.

It's weird. As far as I can tell, GCC's documentation[1] clearly states:

Flexible array members may only appear as the last member of a struct that is otherwise non-empty.

What is the article referring to, then?

1: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-7.2.0/gcc/Zero-Length.htm...
I'm hearing many terms for it (https://www.google.nl/search?q=bash+on+ubuntu+on+windows&cli...)
It has to be in the definition since it is a VLA, not a flexible array member. Accessing the VLAs or members after/between them will generate an offset based on whatever values were used to define the length of the VLAs, so the definition needs to be in scope. Seems like the use case is for struct types defined within a function and used only within that same function execution, or perhaps also accessed through another execution of that same function that results in the exact same definition. In the latter case, you would need to cast the memory to void* for storage between executions, and then back to the regenerated type, since you can only reference types within the scope that they are defined.

Weird, but I can see the potential utility when you're optimizing for locality in heap allocations, since the allocator will give you a single contiguous memory block with all of the VLAs, while making several allocations for multiple VLAs could very well return disjoint memory ranges. And then there's the aesthetic utility of behaving like objects in higher-level languages, where having multiple variable-length arrays within an object is standard.

See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14629504/variable-length... and linked pages.
What makes Twitter "too much of a public good" in your opinion?

I'd also be interested in knowing. I also feel GitHub's issue tracker is not right for a large project like this.

As for the code review tools though, I've not yet seen something that I feel is materially better than GitHub + PRs + some bot-enabled automation. I understand that many people _prefer_ things like Gerrit, but I've found the difference to mostly be opinion, and that Gerrit can be a significant problem in getting contributions - it's quite hostile on first use.
Gender-segregated parochial schools in the US tend to have typical outcomes for boys and notably good outcomes for girls. (at least back when I was a student in the early 90s)
You're thinking of flexible or zero-length array members (`int[]` as the terminal field, or mostly equivalently, where supported, `int[0]`). VLAs in a struct only really make sense for a local type i.e. a struct defined and used within a function:

void foo (int n) {
struct S { int x[n]; };
}
