> We want to create a society with herd immunity for dissidents, free thinkers, and even the less controversial yet somehow still controversial

And yet y'all can't even do that on HN. Downvote, dead, flag, toe the line.

I've got this feeling that before we all codified "free speech" as a "right", people in very "backward" places were doing it and getting along. Different opinions, different ideas, and people are friendly, for eons in Morocco, in Egypt.

Maybe white Western culture had to put it into "law" because for whatever reason we weren't so good at doing it naturally.

Disgracefully dishonest in multiple ways. Not to mention, the police force's continued incompetence should have no bearing (maybe it didn't).

The rot is not excised from the company -- the corrupt processes, institutions, habits and culture which led to the fraud remain in place. The corporation does not go to jail and have its life ruined.

The corporation encapsulates and protects the worst behaviors of the individuals behind its shield, giving them the opportunity to continue profiting from it unless there is enough direct evidence to convict them as individuals.

$2.25/hr for 8 hours is $18. I don't know about the SF prices but in Manhattan you can get a "hot desk" for $30/day at some fairly nice places. I'd guess in Brooklyn you can probably find/negotiate something comparable to $18/hr.

> Poor people and old people get subsidized by Medicaid

Everyone assumes if youre dirt poor you get Medicaid. But at least for some states as I’ve found out that’s far from true. In Florida for example (we have a poor friend there who is sick) non disabled adults do not ever qualify even if they earn zero dollars.
Fishermen Discover Beluga Whale That Might Be Working with Russian Navy
Living in India, near Western Ghats being bitten by snake is one of the constant worries due to availability of anti-venom at the nearest medical center (Which usually is state run hospital usually located in the centre of the city).
But if one is lucky to make it to the hospital, being state run, the cost of snake bite treatment isn't prohibitive.

But as with other health care related expenditure in US, snake bite treatment seems just as messed up.
When KHN questioned St. Vincent Evansville hospital on its charges for Crofab, the hospital noted that the snake-bitten girl’s family wasn’t on the hook for the bill. Insurance covered the price of the antivenin. And, in the end, the family’s insurer negotiated the $67,957 antivenin bill to $44,092.87.

So it wasn't the girl's bill, it was the insurance company's. What would they have charged the family if they were poor and uninsured? Probably a lot less than even what they settled with the insurance company for. Yes, U.S. healthcare is screwed up, but I don't think this case resembles what happens to people who actually falls through the cracks.
This is a relatively common idea in ancient societies. Before technology magic was the answer, and words were the most common way to effect it. Hence the idea of curses, incantations, magic(k) spells, prayer, exorcisms, etc...
Do you, or does anyone, know enough to give an example of a specialist shop in the East; a button seller, say; that existed prior to the Berlin Wall, that was "destroyed" and what system took it's place to fill the particular need? Like, people still needed fabric and buttons??

Did all single goods-type shops close, like butchers, bakers, etc.. How was supply managed?

Presumably those killed refused to give up ownership to the state?
Craig Murray's reaction is worth reading [1]. I realize he does not respond to the bail breach directly, but rather to what precipitated this chain of events.

> If the Swedish allegations against Julian Assange were genuine and not simply a ruse to arrest him for extradition to the United States, where is the arrest warrant now from Sweden and what are the charges?

> Only the more minor allegation has passed the statute of limitations deadline. The major allegation, equivalent to rape, is still well within limits. Sweden has had seven years to complete the investigation and prepare the case. It is over two years since they interviewed Julian Assange in the Ecuadorean Embassy. They have had years and years to collect all the evidence and prepare the charges.

> So where, Swedish prosecutors, are your charges? Where is your arrest warrant?

> Julian Assange has never been charged with anything in Sweden. He was merely “wanted for questioning”, a fact the MSM repeatedly failed to make clear. It is now undeniably plain that there was never the slightest intention of charging him with anything in Sweden. All those Blairite MPs who seek to dodge the glaring issue of freedom of the media to publish whistleblower material revealing government crimes, by hiding behind trumped-up sexual allegations, are left looking pretty stupid.

Hey, thanks for this. What's the best way to contact you?
> but the two topics aren't orthogonal nor are opinions.

The topics are orthogonal. You can have independent opinions about either of them. There's a group with common opinions on both, but that doesn't mean you can't place yourself in in another position.

But you don't get all the choices you want. For some reason no party around me wants replacement with nuclear power as a policy, so the next best thing is voting for those who care about doing anything: green, or some independent. I know a green's councillor who's pro-nuclear, but runs with greens so she can make any difference at all.

I'm not sure what realistic option for a common person are you proposing that are better than "vote green and say their nuclear policy is shit"?
This gives the US a year.

I expect better from the BBC. He was never charged with anything related to that investigation. There were no such charges to drop; this statement is factually inaccurate.

Meh, Ayn Rand is wrong, lots of people do things that they'd rather not be doing for the good of their family/friends/society. I'm not sure why so many people adhere to her antisocial musings. Sure some people only do things that only make them feel good. Altruism exists despite all the Randians attempts to morph it into something else so they can feel better about being greedy/self-centered/self-serving like them.

Product differentiation is much easier in person since you see & can touch the product. Plus having a specialist available to speak with regarding your needs is often valuable.

With online purchases, you're limited to pictures, price, technical specs to make decisions.
'What would they have charged the family if they were poor and uninsured?'

Probably a lot more
The other side of the coin is that a lot of very talented people congregate in places like Silicon Valley, so you rule out the potential of hiring/working for/working with them.
I saw 'San Francisco' and rolled my eyes. This is the dumbest idea I have seen in a while.

What if someone runs you over trying to back into a spot? What if something falls from the sky (besides rain)? Or someone runs off with your equipment because your weren't looking? Or even, its a busy day and someone didn't reserve a parking spot.

Putting your workers at risk because you're trying to save some dough is highly irresponsible.
My real argument, as represented by the majority of the text I wrote, was that tooling only solves one part of the problem. The lesser part, at that. But I guess that went over the downvote brigade's heads. Ditto for the fact that I did mention conversations with peers who used other tools (including Bazel BTW) and had similar experiences. Seriously, folks, read before you nitpick.

There's value in staring into corners imo. Try forgetting your phone at home one day. No longer are you instinctively reaching for it the minute you have 20 seconds to spare, you allow yourself to daydream again.

I ended up being way more focused that day just from cutting out those >30 second moments on the phone. Instead of my brain just shutting off and tuning out, I was actually thinking about my day and what I'm working on. I felt like a Buddhist monk!
Thank you for pointing this out. I really hate articles that treat the rack rates presented to uninsured consumers as a fixed bill; it's not. I think this is something where articles could do a better job of explaining to readers how the rates are really an opening to negotiation (the negotiations already done by insurers).
Can you expand on your point? Because it makes no sense to me.
If there was fraud involved why shouldn’t they be held liable?

> What advantage do you expect to get, besides the cool factor?

1. There are small bits of repetition in some of our steps that cannot be trivially abstracted in Python without sacrificing the simple aesthetic of imperative Python code, but they are perfect for macros.

2. One of the components involves quite a bit of interaction with the user, based on some data. The data itself changes infrequently, and the interaction code is generated from the data, but the generator isn't as pretty (due to the nature of the data) as it could be in a Lisp.

These are not existentially important to the tool, but we've had bugs because of both. Something about the ugliness makes people not look at it too closely. While the bugs were small and easily spotted by an attentive eye, it'd certainly be nicer if the likelihood of future creation of similar bugs could be reduced.
I recently tried to find out what I'd be charged for a standard office visit. There was literally no one at the provider or my insurance company who would tell me what it would cost - even though I have a high deductible plan and would be paying 100% of it.

Eventually I got a "guesstimate" of $200-300 for the visit. I cancelled the appointment.
He may have taken it too literally... but he does have a point. Everyone doesn't _need_ to live in SF.

> proving two points: one about the high cost of coworking spaces in an already unaffordable city, and another about how the space currently dedicated to on-street parking in cramped cities like San Francisco could be put to better and more human-centric use.

You can reduce your cost of living/co-working by moving out of the city.

I can't imaging wanting to deal with fumes, electricity, weather, traffic dangers just to stay in the city by converting parking spots to more "human-centric" areas.
For my part, I've worked with two long-lived monorepos so far. Both were quite small, all told, but, nonetheless, in both cases I saw the monorepo largely serving as an incubator for bit rot.

All those direct interdependencies, combined with the impossibility of just using package versioning to allow a library's consumers to upgrade at their own pace, meant that developers had a strong disincentive to do any cleanup that might result in a breaking change. They'd tend to prefer patches instead. So the long-term trend was for everything to eventually become a tangled mass of patchwork.

Google has entire teams devoted to combatting this problem. I'm not sure most companies can (or want to) afford that.

This is one of those spots where I think it's wise to be cautious about blog-driven development. By analogy, I've seen experienced woodworkers have fun with mocking the DIY furniture projects that come up in places like Pinterest. One common criticism was that, since wood expands and contracts with changing humidity, but only in certain directions, if you put it together in certain ways, you end up with a product that will literally tear itself apart over time. Of course, this isn't apparent from the Instructable article, because it's a slow process, and all those pictures were taken when the piece was still brand spanking new. It's also not something you're likely to see written in the comments section or anything like that - the people I've known who know this sort of thing aren't generally the type to write Instructables articles or maintain their own DIY blogs.

I suspect something like this also happens with any decent sized codebase: Code is a living thing that expands and contracts with changing business requirements. Over time, it will twist itself out of shape. Weak coupling and fragmented codebases are two different (though related) ways of trying to limit the damage from this effect. They both bring their own challenges, though, and aren't perfect. Monorepos don't have the same drawbacks, but that doesn't mean they don't have any. One, I think, is that you're left directly exposed to the full strength of the forces that cause bit rot.

If you're disciplined enough to recognize this and treat it as another incentive to attack bit rot head-on, then you'll probably end up in a better place for it. If you think monorepos are a panacea, though, you're setting yourself up for the kinds of failure that people generally don't like to blog about.
Funny how these are never a consideration when it’s an individual’s life on the line.

Edit: on second thought, these often are considered for individuals, as long as they’re sufficiently sympathetic/rich. See for example Brock Turner. I should say, funny how these are often not considered for individuals, depending on who they are.

There may not be and extradition case. It doesn't seem like Sweden is still keen, and on balance, the US mightn't want him either at this point.

It's not a guaranteed conviction. The president has an embarrassing YouTube reel where he "loves WikiLeaks" 50 times. It'll drag the contents of contentious leaks back into the spotlight. It could be more convenient to let it go.
I take photos that don't make it into the albums that I share with friends. These kind of photos give you an idea of the real character of an experience. To give you an idea of what I might photograph:

* Pictures of individual local food I bought (candies and other snacks)

* Pictures of rooms, possibly panoramic to capture everything

* Buildings from a few different angles

* Side streets

According to the statement she was "chocked (sic shocked) when they arrested him" because she "only wanted him to take [an STD test]".

On 21 August, SW wrote that she "did not want to accuse" Julian Assange "for anything" and that it was the "police who made up the charges (sic)"

On 23 August, SW wrote that it was the police, not herself, who started the whole thing.

On 26 August, AA wrote that they ought to sell their stories for money to a newspaper.

On 28 August, AA wrote that they had a contact on the biggest Swedish tabloid and SW wrote that their lawyer negotiated with the tabloid.

> Dude, check your damn math! The bank owes me a dollar. At the time of the loan, it has 10 cents and Bob has 90 cents plus an obligation to pay it back with interest. At the end of the loan, the bank has the 90 cents back plus some amount of interest nowhere near enough to make the total add up to $1.90 (that would be a ridiculously high APR).

Assume that “the bank” in question represents all banks. And so depositing in any bank counts as depositing in “the bank” because this is illustrative.

You give a dollar. The bank loans out 90 cents to bob. Bob buys something (I skipped over this) from Joe. Joe puts 90 cents in the bank. Bob pays back 90 cents he earned using the purchase from Joe. The bank now has $1.90.

You’re right that the system would collapse if it stopped. But so would, say, the entirety of the national economy stop if we decided to just stop making loans. We like loans because loans enable growth. So you can, idk, buy better GPUs to mine poopcoins

I'm just pointing out the parallels, which are far more striking than the differences.

In the case of nuclear weapons, the knowledge of the science of how they work is not sufficient. The "industrial arts" of making fissionable material and then weapons are complex, expensive, and large scale. Just knowing the science doesn't mean that you are able to design, build, and operate the factories that are needed for production.

On the other hand, any technology which depends only on fairly standard scientific instruments, readily available components and manufacturing techniques, and software is essentially uncontrollable.
