The recent 12 x Google Maps API price hike is another such "exception that proves the rule" apparently.
Isn't that also a problem with in-person voting and fake IDs?
This is going to be a life saver.
The not sad answer is that the great majority of voters understand that there has to be a tradeoff between the ability of the police to detect and enforce the law and our personal privacy.

Generally, transparency, rather than privacy, could be reasonably said to be the driving function of government -- things like arrest records, court records, marriage records, real estate transactions, are all public records, with exceptions being made only for cases where the harm of the record itself exceeds the public benefit. To facilitate credit markets we've even gone so far as to make personal credit information semi-public.

If you want something to be private, it's your responsibility to keep it private. And all privacy goes away in the face of a lawful search and seizure, accompanied by probable cause. The (very wiggly) privacy line is only crossed when another party goes to unreasonable lengths to violate situations where you have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
My gut says this is ridiculous and I can kind of rationalize how putting chalk on something might be like GPS tracker but not really. This is akin to a stamp on your hand at a bar or concert and the only way it violates your privacy is by communicating to people other than law enforcement that you parked publicly.

I'm assuming the marks are put on the tread of the tire and if that's the case then it only reasonable violates your privacy for a short duration. This is akin to being seeing in the local strip club parking lot however far less scandalous.

The fact of the matter is that all cars have a unique identifier clearly visible on at least one outward facing surface. It can just as easily be used by LOE to determine how long you've been parked in a spot with a simple app that snaps a photo and logs GPS coordinates.

The differences being that chalk is temporary and can communicate to interested parties that you've parked recently in local vecinity, where as a license plate requires instance observation to track your movements.
Not to mention that the thing which really matters is impact per calorie provided and, most importantly, there is a 50x range in the amount of calories that plants provide per unit of input. So the real advice should be: replace high cost/calorie foods with low cost/calorie foods. Which could mean replacing berries and leafy green vegetables with chicken as much as it means replacing filet mignon with sweet potatoes.

Let's say I have a factory A that generates 1 ton of CO2. It's hugely expensive (let's say, $10000) to pull the CO2 out of atmosphere. What's done is done. But I also happen to have another factory B, which generates 2 tons of CO2, and with a smaller amount of money (let's say $100) I can make it generate only 1 ton of CO2.

So, the economically sensible thing is spend $100 to make factory B more efficient, instead of spending $10000 to undo the effect of factory A. Same thing: the nature largely doesn't care where the CO2 comes from.

Now, imagine factory B is actually owned by my friend. He doesn't want to (or can't afford to) reduce CO2 footprint on his own, but he tells me, "Hey, if you pay me $150, I will reduce my CO2 emission by one ton."

So the system can work, as long as everybody's honest (or as long as there's some system that verifies that they are honest).

The Constitution isn’t code, so new behaviors can’t be stumbled into like a buffer overflow. There is no national outrage over license plates and everyone seems pretty OK with them so the Court is not going to throw a massive wrench into society for no reason by making them unconstitutional.
So, to be clear, the linked thread is about rustup. If you don't install rust via rustup, then the above issue will never happen to you. By default, it's checking that you have an SSL connection, yes.

You can fully build and develop Rust projects offline; this is a hard requirement of things like Debian and Firefox, for example.

Sure. Nothing against texinfo (a bit dated, but perfectly acceptable). My problem is with the ridiculous "info" documentation format for which no browser seems to be even remotely usable. The only one I can cope with is "pinfo", but then again I'm always lost at the stupid hierarchy of "nodes", and no way to do global search/next.

No, it's all Democrats in favor of things that they know will net them more Democrat votes, and Republicans against them, and vice versa, of course. Why are the Democrats upset about the census not counting "migrants" and going to court to block attempts to make the census only count citizens? Well, you could try to derive an answer from first principles... or you could just count votes, and come to the correct answer much more quickly.

Don't be so silly as to believe their spin about "getting money out of the election"; such reforms are not hypothetical things that may happen in the future, reforms have been passed are in effect, and, lo, money is still in politics.
Bureaucracy and Violence by Roger Berkowitz (2017)
My argument that this helps user experience is that, when a failure does happen, it's a lot easier to figure out why, tell the user that experienced it what happened and get them unblocked, and fix it for future users in a simpler system than a more complex one. The intended case is that failures should not happen, so if you're in the case where you expect your mainframe to process requests well within the TCP/HTTP timeouts and you can do something client-side to make the user expect more than a couple hundred ms of latency (e.g., use JS to pop up a "Please wait," or better yet, drive the API call from an XHR instead of a top-level navigation and then do an entirely client-side spinner), you may as well not introduce more places where things could fail.

If you do expect the time to process requests to be multiple minutes in some cases, then you absolutely need a queue and some API for polling a request object to see if it's done yet. If you think that a request time over 30 seconds (including waiting for previous requests in flight) is a sign that something is broken, IMO user experience is improved if you spend engineering effort on making those things more resilient than building more distributed components that could themselves fail or at least make it harder to figure out where things broke.
FWIW Gardner is denying the claim that the Markup has changed its mission. And The Markup's various about pages have not changed (from what I can tell, when comparing to Internet Archive), including mentions of its investigative mission. For example:

(As George Orwell reputedly once said, “journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed; everything else is public relations.”) But that doesn’t mean we’re anti-technology; we have the same love/hate relationship with technology that everybody does.

That said, this is a pretty specific claim:

I'm very much on his side.

(1) Inherited dynastic wealth creates a plutocracy. I believe people of each generation should rise to the level of their abilities and not to the level of largesse of their families. Allowing people to hand down massive wealth is like playing monopoly where every square already has a hotel on it.

(2) The children didn't earn it, so they deserve it as much as anyone else. Inheriting it may adversely affect who they turn into as humans.

(3) I believe in a large social safety net so that those who cannot succeed don't have to die, but rather can live out their lives comfortably. Basic income, socialized medicine, education, etc.

This strikes a fair balance IMO. You earned the money, you created the value, you have to spend it in your lifetime. If you can't, the state will decide where it goes. The next generation will be looked after, and if they too are successful they can also enjoy the spoils. If not, they can live out their lives in comfort.

I love the Millionaire next door as a book and it is great advice. But it, and The Millionaire Mind, are based on self-reported data. That is really useful, because you can learn good habits from it. But you have to be aware that there is a natural bias of people to downplay how much of their success comes from other people and how much is due to our own good works. Economists often look at the income of families from tax returns or census data. Neither is perfect. That's how you can get some people quoting studies that most millionaires are self made and some people quoting studies that most wealthy people got an inheritance. They are quoting different kinds of studies (and probably with different wealth cutoffs too btw).

For your personal habits and plans it is good to keep in mind that most millionaires are self made and you can be one too. For policy purposes, understand that wealthy people tend to have wealthy children.

Do you know how difficult it is to write a position-independent blob that runs all by itself? Consider something like a boot loader or kernel, starting from a random location in memory. Can it run without needing assembly language?

For example, C can often do this. You ask the linker to put a particular function first and to make everything position-independent. There can be some problems with the GNU toolchain stubbornly insisting on making a GOT, but the language is otherwise fully capable.

I'm wondering how long it will be until we see a car that omits windows entirely and relies 100% on cameras and screens for external visibility.

Some manufacturers have already started inching in that direction by replacing the traditional rear-view mirror with a rear-facing camera, which lets them stop worrying about sight lines being obstructed by headrests, small back windshields, etc. I wonder how much safer you could make a car if you could take all the glass out altogether.

> it definitely doesn’t have it in the way Lisp/Julia/Rust/etc have it.

Yes, but then again, Rust, Julia, and Lisp are _high_ standards of metaprogramming. Python's approach to metaprogramming, like most of its other parts, is simple and concise. For simple tasks that are repeated often, Python sometimes provides easy ways to abstract the how and show only the what. While Python does have metaclasses — which, unfortunately or otherwise, I've never needed to write — I've sometimes found myself reaching for simpler tools like decorators, magic dunder methods, even iterators and generators. And, of course, there's always the ability to generate Python AST, or have something generate it for you.

Examples:

1. the new-in-3.7 feature: dataclasses[0];

2. the library that inspired it: attrs[1];

3. the (de)serialisation library with a strikingly simple design: marshmallow[2];

4. the leaky-abstraction of SQL that makes it somewhat composable: sqlalchemy[3];

5. Google's python bindings for Protocol Buffers[4]; and, of course

6. the lisp-in-Python: Hy[5];

In some jurisdictions, it's possible to vote in person after voting absentee (the absentee ballot is then destroyed without being counted).

Any system will have trade-offs, though—since ballot access (getting time off from work, childcare, transportation) appears to be a much more pervasive problem than coercion, it seems like the sacrifice would be worth it.

I'm not sure if that is actually better. I seem to recall (but can't be bothered to look up) a study that showed students who read the book twice do no better that those who read it once. Which is to say the first time you see material in some format is when you get the greatest gain. Taking notes the second time through probably isn't worth it, though taking notes from a different source of the same material might be.

I picked APL because it matches the "WTF cray cray" aesthetic that Rust's syntax presents to new users. I can see an argument that Ada is the right analogy if you're going for pure complexity.

And yes, Fortran, APL, Ada (also Modula-2 & Oberon, Smalltalk and a bunch of other forgotten languages presented as the Next Big Thing at the time) are all uniformly simpler than either C++ or Rust. The modern world is a more complicated place and programming tools have kept up.
> Many countries, and citizens of those countries, expect their government to take reasonable steps to protect groups from racist or other hate speech.

The point is that under that same logic, you should ban practically all opinions that involve politics.

"Selling cocaine should be prohibited" implies that you want the state to exert violence against people who sell drugs, either to incarcerate them, force them to pay a fee (which if not paid will likely result in incarceration, i.e. violence). Wanting cocaine to be prohibited is violent speech.

"Bald people should be incarcerated" is also violent speech.

Allowing one while prohibiting other is an arbitrary decision, since both are violent ideas. The fact that most people agree with the former and disagree with the latter is not a good way to decide, since you might as well just ban every idea that people disagree with (or that the state disagrees with) which is exactly what totalitarian dictatorships do.

> We don't feel that makes it a totalitarian dictatorship

Given a big enough cage, animals don't notice that they are in a cage.

I wouldn't call Germany a totalitarian dictatorship, but it doesn't have freedoms that I consider important, such as freedom of speech. If that freedom is taken away by a dictator or by a crowd voting against it, it doesn't make much difference to the individual that wants freedom.

Keep in mind that not everyone in Germany, or other countries is against freedom of speech, they lost it because most people don't want it.

It's not an American view, it's a view of people who care about freedom. I'm not American, and I'm sure there are many non-Americans that want freedom.

But where does it go? Certainly not back to the taxpayers in the form of public services and social programs.

I missed that on HN before, so thanks for writing again. I never thought of writing down two lists, even though it's obvious in retrospect. I'll try this exercise.

I did come to the conclusion some time ago that since writing code is my #1 money-making skill and in top #3 of "things I'd love to do" (and a part of #1 too), but the types of programs to write are different, I need to focus on finding overlap in what I write when looking for jobs or (now) customers.

The children of rich people go to the best schools, have tutors, can afford to go to expensive universities without worrying about the cost, can afford to take unpaid internships, and have access to the capital to start their own ventures. All those things happen long before they inherit anything.

This is why I'm in favour of very high levels inheritance tax. It would encourage rich people not to hoard their money and instead spend it on things that keep the economy moving (people spending money is what creates jobs). People being rich is great, but only if they actually spend their money.

The other way for economies to keep moving is for poor people to borrow more, and we saw the long term effect of that in 2008.
