What the justice systems of most nations is missing is the idea of banishment and exile. In city states you were rarely imprisoned - that was very expensive to do, and society had to then keep you alive while you were non-productive. You were often enslaved, to work off your debt to the society. You were often beaten, but not maimed, because you were less useful crippled. If your (perceived) crime was severe enough, you were often killed.

But then there was exile, where you may not warrant your own death or loss of freedom, but the society just doesn't want you around any more. This would apply to the robber barons of modern times, the scam artists and those that prey on the weak. But we simply don't have the ability to banish such people - there is no where to send them, you cannot just put them outside your borders and say never come back. Even without any intent for retribution prison is a necessary construct to isolate those too dangerous to participate in society from it, but some criminals aren't actually physically dangerous. They are only dangerous with power, authority, or an audience. You would traditionally just want to exile those kinds of criminals after taking their possessions to recompense their victims, but we have no real way to do that anymore. Even if you had somewhere to put many of these criminals, the world is too interconnected to stop them from committing more crimes against your citizens abroad. Its often hard to completely strip someone of their accrued power.

So either they walk free with paltry fines or maybe rarely destitution, or they end up in prison like Madoff when they are so grossly criminal you have to do something. The breadth of response to crime today is to take possessions, take freedom, or in barbaric countries like the US take life. The option to take citizenship or residency is no longer an option, which is a shame, because there are a lot of crimes that would be well suited for it.
I'm most worried about F=MA. Micro satellites that are almost all fuel attaching to large pieces of space debris for extra mass and tug boating them into a collision course with military satellites.

Large satellites are the new air craft carrier sized targets. Small satellites that can reboot after an EMP unharmed are the only option.

Largely because the Boomers and Gen-Xers are still alive and kicking, and still refusing to grow up, still hanging onto the music of their adolescence. When the last of them passes away, I predict they'll take rock and roll, including its so-called "classics," along with them.

The more we learn about human psychology the harder it is to take a criminal and say "this is a bad person who is wholly responsible for their behavior and deserves what they get".

For a vast, huge majority of victims of crime by far and way the most valuable thing to them is not retribution or vindication, it is their own attempt to regain safety. The knowledge their assailant is no longer able to hurt others is so much more substantial on average to victims than the knowledge their assailant is suffering or dead.

Retribution is a tart feeling. Its empty. It gives you a moment of animal hormone rush before you realize it isn't gaining anyone anything. Its just part of being angry.

Yes, of course if you were involved in a crime, or someone you loved, you would want retribution. We all would feel that way. Our brains are wired too strongly to react in that manner. Its a survival instinct, one of those deeply rooted behaviors you cannot undo like the gag or drowning reflexes. That is why it is so valuable that those of us not under its influence recognize it doesn't serve a practical purpose in civilized society. You retaliate to save your life from an immediate threat, and you use that instinctual bloodlust to insure the threat is neutralized. You don't channel it to use state institutions to harm people long term to appease your animal brain in the same way you don't guzzle cheese wiz all the time because your brain keeps telling you to eat so long as food is available. We have that instinct, both to eat endlessly and be sedentary and to seek retribution. Neither are rational, and both require discipline to restrain, not glorify.
And of the seven words you can't say we mostly use three.
Indian Classical Music is perhaps the most versatile of all kinds of music I have come across. A traditional western scale has 12 notes, in the Indian system (carnatic) there are four further divisions, making it a 48 note octave. Instead of scales, there are raags and they signify different moods.

In the same way that Hindi has been the native language of northern India for thousands of years (which is to say that while the Mandarin of today has connections to earlier forms of Chinese, it is hardly a monolithic, unchanging remnant of thousands of years ago).

I've definitely noticed that this works for me on occasion - staying up all night to see the sunrise and then going about as usual seems to be a cleansing experience of sorts.

In such a state, it feels that the mind is too exhausted to lend itself to worry or anxiety. The troubles seem far less consequential through the haze.

I didn't keep track of what happens the day after catching up on sleep, but in general, being lifted even for a single day out of the quagmire is very helpful: one can make plans for the future (in a depressed state, people tend to not make any plans because they don't want anything, and what they want, they think they can't do), and one can feel contrast between their good and bad states of mind (depression tricks people into thinking that their depressed state is actually their normal state).

That said, sometimes staying up all night just meant sleeping all day -- and I don't know to which extent my experience even compares with the one of the people in the article.

Still, it's something everyone suffering from the symptoms can try for free. Beats a night of restlessness and bad sleep hands down, and there's little to lose if you experiment on a weekend.

It sounds like the theory behind this is kicking the circadian rhythm to see if it improves.

> Depression is also associated with altered daily rhythms of hormone secretion and body temperature, and the more severe the illness, the greater the degree of disruption. Like the sleep signals, these rhythms are also driven by the body’s circadian system, which itself is driven by a set of interacting proteins, encoded by ‘clock genes’ that are expressed in a rhythmic pattern throughout the day.

A classic, almost cliche, way to address "common depression" is to normalize the person's sleep schedule. Many people keep erratic schedules and participate in activities (eg, playing video games) at end of day that make going to sleep hard. They get poorer quality sleep and have no consistency, which messes up the circadian rhythm and contributes to depression. Such people are advised to at least try keeping a consistent sleep schedule for a couple weeks to see if it helps them.

The technique in the article seems to be the figurative opposite, possibly because regular sleep cycles are either inadequate or infeasible to achieve. They force a short-term horrible sleep cycle to see if they can jolt the circadian rhythm into working better.

The agencies' ratings are essentially protected by the First Amendment, as the rating represents the agency's opinion on whichever security offering.

Fraud isn't purchasing a house that's advertised as "clean" only to discover that there was asbestos in the basement. Fraud is advertising as such after a legal definition for the word "clean" has been established to include "asbestos-free" and yet the house has asbestos anyway.

There aren't any strict legal definitions for what "BB" and "BBB" and "A" and etc. mean, and that's why the ratings agencies could rate them as AAA, because the subjective expectation (as unfounded as it was) was for the housing market to keep booming forever, which was enough to slap a AAA rating without it being fraudulent.

(note I'm not trying to excuse or justify the ratings agencies behavior, only to explain)

I was raised to dislike The Beatles, since they "just wrote stupid love songs". I really changed my opinion at a later age. I think most songwriters and composers would die for having written three Lennon-Mccartney compositions. And Lennon-Mccartney wrote at least two dozens of stunningly great compositions.

I think it is pointless to debate who was the best composer, or whether any composer can equal Bach, since it is largely a matter of taste and unclear what criteria apply (complexity? emotion?). But in terms of impact, music history is partitioned in 'before The Beatles' and 'after The Beatles', just as it is partitioned 'before Bach' and 'after Bach'.
But that has nothing to do with optimal outcomes for a business or the optimal utility for society.

Also, it doesn't dispose of the concept of owner. It's exactly like a publicly traded company with shareholders. The only difference is that the shareholders are restricted.
I agree with you, the way people will inevitably use them makes them unsafe to be used in the vast majority of the US urban scene.

In Europe, for example Amsterdam or Berlin, it would be a different story, however. They fit very well to the existing comprehensive system of bike lanes. They have a similar speed and manoeuvrability and also both the pedestrians and cyclist are already well conditioned for avoiding each other. Try stepping onto a bike lane in Berlin - you will be feeling really stupid in a hurry.

Kubernetes 101: Pods, Nodes, Containers, and Clusters
I’ll talk about mine if anyone wants to hear it. Never talked about it before

Its very clearly a dissociative. I didn’t understand the term until I’d insuffalated a sufficient amount of ketamine. I ended up having very genuine deep conversations with both close friends and new ones while on it.

Time felt choppy. My consciousness felt very divided. My body felt drunk in a way but my mind felt more.. absorptive? Clear? I didn’t feel drunk. I felt like I was dissecting common patterns of my own thought in a way that allowed me to be disattached from the outcomes of those thoughts - in the same way that people have found MDMA useful for dealing with PTSD by making the brain capable of dealing with issues without invoking the flight or fight response, I felt like I was capable of thinking about the way I was thinking in a hearthy constructive way rather than a destructive judgmental way that might happen soberly.

It all in all was quite interesting. I can’t say I can remember all the details of the conversations I had, but I do to this day feel connected to them. It was not a waste of time or effort or “brain space” or whatever.. it was a worthwhile experience.

But I will say that it wasn’t necessarily fun. I don’t want to go out of my way to do it again - it requires mental effort and made me mentally tired. To me that makes it non-addictive, but I could see why some people might get attached to it.
> “Sleep deprivation really has opposite effects in healthy people and those with depression,” says Benedetti. If you’re healthy and you don’t sleep, you’ll feel in a bad mood. But if you’re depressed, it can prompt an immediate improvement in mood, and in cognitive abilities. But, Benedetti adds, there’s a catch: once you go to sleep and catch up on those missed hours of sleep, you’ll have a 95 per cent chance of relapse.

This is really counter intuitive to me. The article goes on explaining that using a combination of skipping sleep, lithium and light treatment the results are much better.
"if you’re depressed, [sleep deprivation] can prompt an immediate improvement in mood, and in cognitive abilities. But, Benedetti adds, there’s a catch: once you go to sleep and catch up on those missed hours of sleep, you’ll have a 95 per cent chance of relapse."

Sounds like there's a high risk for turning depression into insomnia. Not sure if it's an improvement.
What's the benefit of hosting a static website on AWS instead of Github or Gitlab Pages?
It's interesting and brings up a yet-another-interesting consideration which is more broadly what is the "best" place to couple your applications/services to your provider... I suppose that's why I like containerization so much, because it decouples them fairly maximally from any kind of service provider (all you need is a network connection and some CPU to run them by, to sort of misquote something I heard once upon a time). You retain a lot of control with containerization, but without the overhead of a fully virtualized environment. It keeps time and money costs down, too, not having to couple into all those various AWS (or whatever) services. And I like being decoupled from those kinds of service providers because it also reduces the surface area of skills which are only useful with that service provider. Decouples expertise from a single point of failure, which is really important for me personally.
Ubuntu Budgie is a community developed distribution, integrating the Budgie Desktop Environment with Ubuntu at its core.
So the cure for depression is to take hallucinogens like ketamine or deliberately deprive yourself of sleep? It's like making yourself happier by making yourself less sharp. Perhaps, then, one is depressed because one is rational - because there are real, serious problems with life that need to be dealt with, not escaped. The recent "cures" sound almost Huxley-an.
European countries require an identity card, passport or at least a driving license (not everywhere) to do anything remotely involving credit. Identity theft is simply not a thing.

In Italy, if you don't pay an IOU, you generally get placed on a global registry. It's not easy to get off the registry, but IOUs are very very regulated and not too common. It's a little easier if you just haven't paid back a loan for a month, but I don't know exactly because (unlike the US) I have only gotten a loan once in my life for my first car. Unlike the US, by default you are considered to be a good payer, you don't need to build up a credit history.

I am interested in how it works in Canada, because it probably has some similarities with the US system.
I wonder if it would be possible for such a planet to exist and be habitable. Obviously it would have to be far less dense than Earth (or Jupiter); I'm guessing gravity would therefore compact it to a smaller size, unless maybe it was made out of some kind of lattice structure?

Better question might be what's the largest feasible (or likely) potentially habitable planet with earth-like gravity.
All of those things apply to coops.

Coops reward politically inclined members who can rally crowds. They are not meritocracies at all.

Coops compete with others in the same way any other corporation would. In fact, employees who are members are more motivated to play dirty (a.k.a. cheat) than regular employees in a corporation.

Coops are just as subject to corruption. Just look at the coop connections with the mafia in Italy.
What's the reasonable alternative to exceptions? Checking return status or errno after every single function call and then manually propagating it upwards? (optional is a bit better but also falls into this category) Programmers are way too lazy for this and it usually ends up as either a redundant assert() crashing the whole application or just logging a error and continue with broken state.

Exceptions is following the "let it crash" philosophy from erlang, instead of broken recovery code scattered all over your code. (Crash doesn't necessarily mean a linux process in this context, more of a high level) This is a very powerful concept that allows you to think about the bigger picture such as if _anything_ unexpected happens inside this transaction, return a error to the user and continue processing the next request from the next user. Error handling should be done by layers, not by grunt work.

There are situations where I agree you might want to know how a certain function can fail, here I think javas checked exceptions strike a good balance between control vs verbosity as you just have to add a throws-clause if you don't want to handle a specific error at that point in the code.

1. Spartan life.

Dust is created by not just hair and skin but all upholstered items, cloth items, books, particle board etc. The less of that you have, the less dust and dirt you have.

2. No deep frying.

It's the single nastiest way to cook and coats the entire kitchen in grease. It also is terrible for your health.

3. Keep your own hair short and do a lot of walking.

The lymphatic system is powered by motion. It is how the body takes out the trash. If you are clean and healthy, you leave less detritus all over the house.

4. Make it a habit.

You just get good at not letting things happen because it takes so much less effort to just not get dirty than to clean it up. Once you have a certain awareness, you just don't do things that lead to dirt.

5. Loopholes.

I currently live in an SRO. So I have neither a kitchen nor a bathroom of my own. There are facilities down the hall and management cleans them about three times a week. If I buy a house, I will have to do some cleaning that I can currently skip due to not having private facilities of my own.
