We would hope so. It could also mean far worse things are happening. We’ve all seen documentaries and news shows of people wrongly convicted. Why do we think the only incidences are the ones reported.

I’ve watched detectives lie on the stand when a guilty verdict was already in hand. Why do that? How do they treat the innocent if that’s how they act when the facts of the case are enough to convict?

It seems ridiculous to me to assume, as you seem to, that rich=hardworking and poor=lazy. Why not rich=lazy, poor=hardworking? That seems to make at least as much sense to me, to correspond to reality.

No-one mentioned "changing the magnitude of the crime". The point is, if you get a $1000 fine, that could mean absolutely nothing to a millionaire/billionaire, but a lot to someone with $1000. Yet you talk as if fining a rich person more would be grossly unfair. Maybe you think everyone should pay the same taxes too. etc.

WebAssembly is designed to provide safety, in the sense that WebAssembly programs are sandboxed and unable to do anything you don't give them permission to do. WebAssembly won't make the runtime behavior of your programs correct, which is what the article seems to be getting at, but that doesn't make the WebAssembly VM model unsafe or insecure from a host perspective.

If you isolate untrusted code in a WebAssembly VM, that should reduce the attack surface for the system as a whole to whatever functions you expose into the WebAssembly VM.

Personally, my bias is to suggest that using Rust would significantly cut down on (but not eliminate) the attack surface inside the WebAssembly program... but some people don't like to hear that.

Yes, in this case, no harm done. But the process of checks and balances that are the backbone of our system of government were circumvented. Those checks and balances exist to create a hope of detecting abuse when it happens.
This is something that Melbourne, AU has recently grappled with - do you give public transport ticket fines to homeless people? You can give them as many fines as you want, but they're not going to pay them, and will just end up making it harder for them to get out of the cycle they're trapped in. I believe homeless no longer get fined for not having a ticket here. You can argue technicalities and loopholes all you want, but at both extremes (very rich and very poor) the 'normal' system of fines just doesn't make any sense.

Justice systems are always about exceptions. Computers handle exceptions EXTREMELY poorly.

A justice system should be required to have a human on record for every action taken against another human being. The computers can be used to verify this, but they should not be allowed to be primary.

This is not even wrong. The CCP did not passively deal with a famine - it caused a famine, and used it to kill millions of people. This is not remotely disputable.

The CCP is strict because the only thing that really matters is holding on to power.

If you think the services the Apple app store provides are worth the price increase, then you as an individual consumer could choose to buy apps just from that store.

Or you could buy an app directly from the developer, whom you presumably trust (and even if you don't, the app is sandboxed, so the chances of something bad happening are pretty low).

Or you could buy the app from an alternative store that's more trustworthy than just "some east European dude from his basement", which would someone would almost certainly create if they had the option to.

Plus, Apple isn't just getting rid of the "worst offenders", it's also banning apps with content it dislikes, or that hurt its business model:

I have recently found myself reconsidering my views on Tim Cook. He has generally positioned himself as the voice of reason, especially on matters of privacy. He’s gone as far as attack companies like Google and Facebook. And yet, all of this masks a simple truth abt Apple: any extra privacy or consumer protection comes at a very hefty cost, making most of its products unaffordable for most of the world. In contrast, Google’s Android is affordable for many large markets Apple doesn’t find worthy of competing in.
When the bare lot costs $1M, shaving $100k off of your build cost hardly solves the problem.

But the Switch, PS4, and XBox One ALL have closed app stores exactly the way Apple does.

If Apple loses a lot of people will have to find a new business model.
Perhaps it’s an unpopular opinion, but I’m hopeful that this doesn’t go anywhere for the simple fact that I don’t want to have to keep 5 different app stores installed to have access to everything. It would be cool to have an iOS equivalent of F-Droid, but I’d rather that not come at the cost of scattering commercial iOS apps across stores.

I’m not keen on the idea of non-WebKit web engines on iOS either because it will inevitably enable a huge contingent of lazy web developers to just display a “screw you and your device’s battery, go download Chrome” message rather than bother with crafting their sites and web apps in a web engine agnostic way. It’ll be just like when IE was the dominant browser, except this time around the dominant engine is favored by web devs and will continue to be thanks to Google’s web-centrism.

I suppose there's nothing requiring the proportion-curve for fines to be linear - but that might get silly and have other consequences. I guess the question comes down to value - finding something that the wrongdoer values (and remove it) that is in proportion to the damage to society they did. I would guess, that for the rich that we're talking about, time and/or freedom are more important than money.

The other end of the scale is interesting too - how do you disincentivise/punish for people who don't have any money and just aren't going to pay any fines you give them (i.e. the homeless)?
> there would be clear benefits in also delegating basic dynamic memory management to the host.

It would be quite hard to spec malloc/free into the Web platform, because of the necessary detail: the behavior of that malloc/free pair would need to be identical (same pointers returned from malloc) in all browsers, for every possible sequence of allocations and deallocations. GC is actually easier to spec since so much of the underlying details are unobservable.

It's not impossible in theory, but it seems like it would mandate all browsers use the exact same allocator implementation (say, dlmalloc version x.y.z). In addition, this would not allow optimization over time, again, unlike GC.

In the non-browser case, server-side implementations may not need to worry about specs, so more options may be open there.
This only holds for those that a born rich, or fell upon immense luck.

For those below Dubai princes, the riches come from an entirely distorted work/life balance where you are never really off-duty, and immense responsibility.

I intend to get there one day with hard work so my family can be well off. However, I do not see why it makes sense to punish me for it. Fining me twice as much because I work double the hours is unfair, and it certainly doesn't encourage growth.

Also, for us small countries up in Scandinavia, a lot of business is lost to the US (technological services) and China (manufacturing), which is a big drain on our economy. Having actual local business (rather than just occasional offices of tax-evading organisations like Apple/Amazon/Microsoft that never have any income pass through here) greatly benefits our local economies.

Even for those truly rich, they are usually rich because they know how to handle money (i.e. not wasting it on fines). The dickheads will do it regardless what it costs them, so setting a system to target them, while harming the common population, seems absurd.

> I consider, for example, the lack of initiating into capitalism and the overwhelming difficulty of living a life outside of a capitalist society to be traumatic because it can keep us from meeting our need for autonomy.

What difficulty is that? Is something stopping you from living on public land in the wilderness?

> Personally, I think expanding a term to include everyone gives everyone an opportunity to more deeply self-examine and connect with others. I find it to be a way to bring more meaning in, not less. If you judge an expansive definition as meaningless, that doesn't actually make it true for others.

It's not that it's meaningless. It's that you can't use it to explain something. If everyone has experience X and 10% of people have outcome Y, then X cannot be used to explain Y.

It's an oversimplification to think that depression is caused by low serotonin levels. As far as we currently know psychedelics affect neurotransmitters in a certain way, but it doesn't work like an SSRI for example. I think what's really promising is psychedelic-assisted therapy to tackle underlying causes rather than treating symptoms.
This is assuming wealth/income is cause by hard work; while that's true for some people, many are rich because their parents are rich (would be curious to see stats around this)

I would love game consoles to have third party stores. As it stands I almost never buy console games through the PSN store/xbox store/whatever because (at least with AAA titles) games remain at initial launch price way too long, and are usually more expensive than retail stores.

I would think that it's germane and worth mentioning if the material on the laptop contained evidence of crimes committed, and also that the guy was subject to UK jurisdiction.

You should check out Watt's Psychotherapy, East and West (1961), it's a good read.

Here's a half-baked thought: I always held the notion psychedelics help us, at least personally, come to the realization of "be in the world, but not of the world." It relates to what Watt's mentions in that book, in this case the therapist is in place of the psychedelic:

(1) "The psychotherapist … tries to help the individual to be himself and to go it alone without giving unnecessary offense to his community, to be in the world (of social convention) but not of the world."

(2) "Whenever the therapist stands with society, he will interpret his work as adjusting the individual and coaxing his 'unconscious drives' into social respectability. But such 'official psychotherapy' lacks integrity and becomes the obedient tool of armies, bureaucracies, churches, corporations, and all agencies that require individual brainwashing. On the other hand, the therapist who is really interested in helping the individual is forced into social criticism. This does not mean that he has to engage directly in political revolution; it means that he has to help the individual in liberating himself from various forms of social conditioning, which includes liberation from hating this conditioning — hatred being a form of bondage to its object."

(3) "Psychotherapist... are dealing with people whose distress arises from what may be termed maya, to use the Hindu-Buddhist word whose exact meaning is not merely 'illusion' but the entire world-conception of a culture, considered as illusion in the strict etymological sense of a play (Latin, ludere). The aim of a way of liberation is not the destruction of maya but seeing it for what it is, or seeing through it. Play is not to be taken seriously, or, in other words, ideas of the world and of oneself which are social conventions and institutions are not to be confused with reality."

(4) "When a man no longer confuses himself with the definition of himself that others have given him, he is at once universal and unique. He is universal by virtue of the inseparability of his organism from the cosmos. He is unique in that he is just this organism and not any stereotype of role, class, or identity assumed for the convenience of social communication."

I was talking to a friend about this earlier this year and one argument that stood out was my friend saying it can't be as simple as that, the whole spectrum of mental illness, which was conflicting with what I initially thought.

Hi huhtenberg,
Thank you so much for your feedback.
I agree that I should not ask user to sign up. The only reason for signing up is that the app knows who to do synchronization/backup to the backend server automatically. In the future versions, I can make synchronization off by default so creating an account is optional.

The app connects to the backend server to fetch existing sets. It just that there are not a lot of them right now. Will definitely add more sets.

Again thank you for feedback. I will take your suggestions in mind. I'm currently testing the Android version. There are too many things to do.
