This is the core disconnect between you, and everyone you’re talking to here.

I have already said, in response to several other posters in this overall thread, that it's quite possible that we can't get there from here. But, as I said to those posters, that's a problem with us, not with anarchy.

That’s... sort of the “religious” view. The practical view is that a system for humans which humans can’t use, is a flawed system. Your stance is that the system is perfect, humans are flawed. Well sure, but the flawed and human nature of people is the basis for anything that pretends to be a government or way life. Talking to you about this is sort of like arguing with someone who thinks that people are ignorant savages who don’t understand how inefficient walking is, when we should just flap our arms and fly. When it’s pointed out that humans simply can’t do that, they just shrug and say that’s a problem with our wings, flying is still the way to go and walking is for suckers.

People don’t want governments because we think they’re perfect, we don’t reject anarchy because we think it doesn’t have appealing elements. What we’re doing is being realistic rather than engaging in ideological masturbation. You’ll usually find that only similarly ideologically committed people have the patience for that crap.
Couple things- the range of 5G is pretty limited. Getting a cell down the block from your house would seem to be nearly as hard as running a line to your door. Also, with wireless, never forget about bandwidth. Bandwidth is the reason living next to thirty other WiFi networks tanks your speeds (but not your cat5 speeds!)

My last PC was built in 2016 from Amazon, but you'd be crazy to do that now. All the parts were sold by Amazon besides the case. I'd ordered a 6600K, the box said it was a K processor, but it wasn't (reported itself as a 6600). Amazon was good about the return, and as far as I can tell the replacement was genuine, but that was too much money to risk on getting counterfeit parts. I've had poor luck with anything electronic in the last 2 years, trying to get a USB-C cable that meets specs might actually be easier on AliExpress. I'm needing some new spinning rust drives for the Nas, and I haven't even considered purchasing from Amazon. Even if they were cheaper, I'll gladly pay 5-10% more from micro center to ensure my backup drives are legitimate.

Fair enough. I guess using the words 'no reason' went a bit too far. I didn't realize I had done that. Afterwards I repeatedly said that for some people it might not be the best decision for them to make, though, so for me to assert that, clearly there must be some reasons for those people to decide otherwise.
I think that has more to do with the massive power asymmetry, because a service worker is generally expected to smile and take it. They don’t represent someone who humiliated the angry customer, they represent a punching bag.

> Those world powers that were able to impose their will evolved out of the same 'base state' as those who had that will imposed upon them.

They were all humans, yes, and they all evolved ultimately from hunter-gatherers, yes. That doesn't change the fact that the "world powers" were societies that had had governments for centuries, if not millennia, and were only able to be imperialists because they could use the coercive power of those governments to appropriate the resources they needed to be imperialists.

> the anarchist experiment has been run

Starting with hunter-gatherer humans, who then invented agriculture, formed governments to address the issues that arose, and had no idea what they were letting themselves in for.

If we were to run the experiment again, it would be with humans who now have 10,000 years of experience with all of the problems that governments create. That experience puts us in a very different position from the humans who first formed governments. So the experiment would have very different initial conditions, which could produce different results.

> I'm curious as to how you think advancing technology would navigate around the issues of humans generally coalescing into a government-ruled state.

By providing alternate means of regulating social cooperation that do not require coercion. The Internet is, of course, the outstanding example of this; it facilitates all kinds of cooperation among large numbers of people that would have been unthinkable before it existed.

Automation is another example: much of the drudge work of society that had to be done by humans for most of human history can now be done by machines. That reduces the amount of human labor that is needed to provide necessities for everyone, and therefore improves the average bargaining position of people when they engage in voluntary cooperation and trade to obtain the things they need.

So I should "respect" those who accept and advocate slavery? No.

We can discuss controversial subjects. Happens quite often. But you're wanting me to respect the fact that people are OK with slavery. Put it this way: I have ethics, and this is beyond the pale.

This "argument" is nothing more than a decorum complaint. Slavery, in all its forms, is Wrong. Anybody who supports slavery is Wrong. No ifs, ands, or buts.

And we fought a war over this very issue, and the 'compromise' was that criminals could be enslaved. Who'da thought that the majority of those who were chattel slaves would end up as "criminals", and back where they started? Its high time we excise that criminals part from the 13th.
I read some encouraging recent reports that a Sahara PV project would not only generate about 5 times the energy requirements of civilization, it would also increase rainfall in the Sahara and probably lead to greening. Meanwhile offshore wind in the North Atlantic could also supply multiples of the energy we need. These combined would be sufficient to free us from fossil fuels, future proof us against the increase required from electric vehicles for a decade or two and have plenty left over to power carbon capture projects.

Article like these are interesting. In our experience, API Gateway + Lambda burned through almost 5x as much money as Elastic Beanstalk, and involved so much refactoring to get around the weird limits (timeouts, recursion, etc.). Maybe if you aren't using API Gateway and you are doing something that is truly spiky. Otherwise, it's actually much more expensive at scale. Don't get me started about cold starts...

Once again, non-productive goods. Instead of building missiles and bullets, the resources could have been used to build new trains for example.

In an example. NoopTelemetry would be some type of empty class not dependent on mock (I've used a meta class a singleton in this case, but whichever, could be a module just the same). To test, you'd pass in a mock object to telemetry and check that a both timer_start and timer_stop are both called with the correct function name.

In your main or context, you setup your application with the needed pieces.

def main():
context = {'telemetry': StatsClient(....)}
start(context)

def start(context):
algo_5(1, 4, context['telemetry'])

def algo_5(param1, param2, telemetry=NoopTelemetry):
telemetry.timer_start('algo_5')
ret = param1 / param2 ** param2 # whatever
telemetry.timer_stop('algo_5)
return ret

def test_start():
context = {'telemetry': MagicMock()}
start(context)
# more testing.

def test_algo5_math():
ret = algo5(4, 5)
assert 78 # maybe?

def test_algo5_telemetry():

Not really. They turned it on for an increasing number of customers during a single week and then turned it off for most of them, but still ended up with more IPv6-enabled customers than before.

I'm not sure that we should keep telling ourselves we have many decades to fix this problem. If (ok, when) the arctic permafrost melts we could see runaway warming. Even without that, we put more carbon in to the air every year, every year this problem is harder to solve. Thinking we have decades to fix it is the main reason we're here, now, with heatwaves and wildfires and acidifying oceans

For my GUI layout library I decided "snaplines" could be a more fundamental concept than grids (because a grid can be defined with horizontal and vertical snaplines). Essentially it's just a linear constraint like "there exists a variable X_snap1, such that box1.right <= X_snap1 and box2.left >= X_snap1." The key is that if you re-use the same snapline variable for subsequent rows, it aligns a column.

Another key idea was that the snaplines are completely independent from the logical (hierarchical, tree) structure of the "document" (aka form). So like if you wanted controls above and below something to be horizontally aligned with each other, but not affect content in the middle, you could do that by just only associating some controls with those snaplines; the fact that the snapline cuts across the middle content need not affect it because it's an abstract "membership" in a group not a physical barrier.

How I came to this design was I had done XAML layouts with WPF on Windows, and while I preferred to use the Grid tag to solve most layout problems, I was also frustrated with its limitations: you kind of have to plan ahead, if you discover you need another alignment line you have to renumber things, or maybe you need to fuse certain cells, etc. I realized that I was using the grid to get alignment lines, but didn't (necessarily) want all of the other behaviors which come with it.
