I sometimes see people make the argument that the tiny amount of Mac-users are somehow more important/valuable compared to the immense swath of non-Macs out there, and I always suspect it’s Mac-users trying to assert their own importance, stroke their own ego and/or justify their needless expenditure.

Why would you need to grandfather previously built applications? It seems to be that these would be the best things to target with the law. When you pass the law include a date at which enforcement starts. Now you need to fix any in use applications.

So the whole/average of the US infrastructure is superior to that of HongKong? Sorry, I don't buy that. Unless they are counting personal cars?

Here are a few things Hong Kong is superior: Cashless payments, extensive metro/train network, efficient/big airport, high speed internet.

New York is not even as good/efficient as Hong Kong. Now the case can be made that you make more money working in New York than in HK but the comparison is about infrastructure.

Much stronger type guarantees. TypeScript's strength and weakness is how it fits JavaScript like a glove. Elm is a different language entirely, so it can provide much better soundness. It's also a simpler language than JS / TS. TypeScript, being a superset of JS, has a lot of baggage. Elm is pretty small and conceptually simple. Elm is also a framework, not just a language, so it guides your team into building things in one, consistent way (for better or for worse). Finally, the Elm compiler is very good. It produces small, fast build artifacts. Compare the bundle sizes of Elm with the other competing frameworks here[0].

I love physical books, I like how they look laying around as a reminder to read them and I like how they disconnect me from technology.

Tried e-readers but I can never stick to them.

And I can move around physical books much more easily and it still feels more natural.
Open source packages such as Uber Ludwig (https://eng.uber.com/introducing-ludwig/) - let alone the commercial stuff - makes you wonder the same thing.

To me just using referral data is not creepy at all. All this script does is keep track of where people are coming from. It's not using questionable tricks, it's not building profiles and it's not combining or using other data. All it know is you're an anonymous visitor that came through source X.
That's like saying "it's not psychopathic axe murderers I fear, but the pain they cause." No one fears words, they fear some aspect of experiential suffering. When people say they "fear death" they mean pain, discomfort, leaving loved ones behind, et. al. I think you hit upon something useful though, which is the idea that our mental wellness can change even when our physical wellness can't.

Who could benefit from that terrorist attack?
Answer. BJP and Indian PM Modi.
India has 700,000 army persons in a small valley of Kashmir. Their intelligence service (R&W) has infiltrated all the terrorist orgs in Kashmir and conducts such bomb blasts for political gains whenever required. Modi required right-wing votes so required war-hysteria and jingoism which lead to all this situation.

While some data science tools may be `excel-implementable` (or some equivalent) in five to ten years, there's significant risk of mis-implementation of results given how much of a mystery many methods are to the people who'd use them.

I'd compare data scientists more to CPAs. You can have software like TurboTax and Quickbooks, but CPAs don't seem to be going anywhere. Similarly, anything that's more complicated than cookie-cutter data analysis will require someone who knows how to develop, build, and debug the algorithms themselves.

Use cases of data science are often too specific for most data science to turn into button pushers. Look at the vast array of ways a neural network can be implemented. Which one of those implementations will be in the `excel package`?

Except that's not always true![0] Take Switzerland for example where knives rose as murder weapon of choice, and the rate of guns became lower. In fact... for a country that has so many guns, it's incredible to hear that only about 100 homicides occur per year[1]. The USA has a mental health issue, not a tooling issue. Gun safety and proper education can deter gun violence.

The people who want to ban guns are aware that doing so won't end violence, but they have a plan: they'll ban knives and vehicles as well. It's already being called for in the UK and in this very discussion. They'll never stop because being "against violence" is an easy way to score cheap political points, no matter how useless such measures are.

There is probably a multi-billion dollar opportunity in home inventory management. This wasn't it.

I can see two big reasons why nobody's taken this opportunity yet:

- data entry. The button simplified this in one axis, but people in this thread are listing the problems: access control, ordering more than one kind of thing, acceptability of substitutions.

- adversarial relationship. Nobody sensible is going to surrender their inventory management to a retailer, unless convenience really trumps cost. See also HP "infinite ink".

If you were willing to cover your store cupboards with cameras (!), you could track potentially track everything in and out. Maybe scan receipts as well. But this amounts to a lot of information about your home life and domestic economics, and I don't want to just turn that over to a company who'll exploit it. Perhaps what I want is "YNAB, but for food".

Edit: see this comment on "supplier-funded promotion": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19300292 ; the inherent tension of the Dash button is that it's convenience through disempowerment, it only "works" for the supplier if you buy more, or more expensive brands, than otherwise. That's what I mean by adversarial relationship.

I once joined our support team to talk with one of our clients (I'd written a new bit of functionality and they wanted me there in case they would ask technical questions). It was one of the most eye-opening experiences ever. Our client talk about their clients abusing our software in ways that we as a development team had never even thought about.

EDIT:

On the other hand, I don't think it should be done to create a sense of urgency for developers. They are not going to work better if they also have to worry about each and every emotion that's being displayed in support emails like the example in the article. That's just creating a sense of responsibility in your company by appealing to emotions and guilt.

I am not aware of psychology having any role in legislative work beyond an advisory role. One reason for this, I think, is that for any psych idea or theory one can find at least one diametrically opposed one. There is no empirical test to be carried out to falsify one or another.

Your first point is interesting, in the US where paying for asexual services is illegal in most places, it magically becomes legal if I videotape it (with approval of all concerned) and pay the people not for sexual services but for acting roles that include full sex. In your example it's the blackmailing that's the problem, and that, like my examples of rape and slavery, is illegal with or without sex being involved. And BTW, one can blackmail without professional sex services - the sex can be for free (hence fully legal) or it can involve any other thing the victim (see? no longer a victimless crimes) wants to keep private.

Many jobs have physical limitations and / or discomfort if done wrong. Sitting in front of a computer all day has a great many long term physical dangers. The solution there is workplace safety, ergonomics, and sensible limits. None of those are likely when prostitution is illegal - but are fully compatible with legal sex work.

Actually, I have known some prostitutes. Their workplaces were quite calm and polite. But, in circa 1900, factories, mills and even office typing pools and other workplaces were dangerous, noisy and in no way calm or polite. Workplace regulations have done amazing stuff to make them much more so. In the beginning - shop bosses often beat up people - Henry Ford had private guards shoot striking workers. None of that means we should NOT have pushed for workplace improvements. I see no reason prostitutes should be excluded from that. Are you really suggesting that they should be kept in hard and dangerous settings?

What you describe sounds like criminal controlled prostitution which very often involves... slavery or other coercion. As mentioned in my post - that is bad, should be opposed and prosecuted but will only improve with legal status and allowing prostitutes to call the cops.

I'm not sure what you mean by "... let self-control go for at least a while...which can lead to an otherwise reasonable party being unwilling to stop..." Private businesses often have security staff to keep people from "losing self control". Bars and nightclubs leap to mind. But again - that may be possible illegal activity done by someone - but it's not specific to paying for sex.

Sure - you can get addicted to many things, like jogging, wine, or chocolate... or sex. How does paying for sex change this? Or... should exercise, wine and chocolate only be allowed for free too?

:-)

All these points are great for various discussion but I don't see how they relate to keeping the payment for sex illegal.

I don't know, in theory it sounds fine, but I really don't know how much I'd take.

But coordinating with family, stuff that comes up and so on.. this is the first year I've not spent 3 days from my (not unusual for Germany) 28 days from last year and have to take them before the end of March so they don't get lost... In other years I had 30 and could've easily used 10 more.

TLDR: I prefer the German model of 24-33 days and you're encouraged to take them. Wouldn't hurt to increase the number, as long as they're really taken 90% of the time.
Now double that estimate, add some padding, and I am looking forward to the release of 2230.1
I'm guessing (didn't try) it could be a slightly patched version that does actually halt the CPU when it has nothing to do, since DOS is well known for using up all the host CPU when run in a VM even when idle and leading to people writing utilities like this:

http://maribu.home.xs4all.nl/zeurkous/download/mirror/dosidl...

I also found this (somewhat amusing) page discussing the problem:

http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/VirtualBox_-_Heat

The "Running the CPU at 100 percent for too long can damage your computer." message is probably legal ass-covering, since any system that can't 100% CPU usage 24/7 is defective. Indeed, back when DOS was common, that's what it did to the CPUs of the time, as did other applications which used a polling loop instead of waiting for interrupts.
