From the first paragraph: "...they often say that... they didn’t feel responsible for those actions – they “lost control”.... In the UK, under certain circumstances, a person accused of murder can even claim that this “loss of control” led to them killing their victim. If successful, this defence can reduce charges to manslaughter."

I am surprised at this line defense (not a lawyer, of course).

At the risk of creating a falsely binary division, either we are (at least most of the time) responsible adults or we are not. If we are, then we are responsible for our actions - even if our faculties are temporarily impaired, at least by virtue of actions we took. For example, driving while under the influence.

If we are not, then why do we have other privileges, such as voting, being able to care for children, etc?

Of course, there are middle grounds of various kinds and the law must find and work with these. Any sort of diminished capacity defence, e.g., by virtue of illness (e.g., depression), by virtue of mental disability, etc.

It seems to me that these middle grounds arise because there are discernible pathologies that give rise to diminished capacity. That seems reasonable.

Where the UK defence seems odd, seems to fly in the face of responsibility, is that there is no pathology. Someone got angry and lost control.

But anger is a choice. With the possible exception of the immature, of the previously mentioned disabled, and of cases involving actual physical contact (where someone isn't respecting your boundaries and your expressed wish that they back off), we choose anger as our response. It can be very hard to control this choice, but we are choosing to allow anger to rise.

Once we make that choice, we are responsible for what comes next. IM(NS)HO. YMMV. IANAL. Etc.

So, what is the new, more common meaning? That exception to the rule somehow strengthens the rule?

I don’t think there’s a real scientific problem here that needs solving, it’s mostly appeasing the pilots so they have some bureaucratic black hole to write down their concerns and management can just say “okay we have a record of it, we’ll let you know if anything comes up”.
Yes, that’s what I was wondering about

That depends if the US gets another four years of Trump, or a repeat of the final Obama years with a sane President blocked by a Republican-dominated congress.

I would not be so certain that the outcome of the 2020 election is a Democrat president, a Democrat controlled House and a Democrat controlled Senate - and even if all three end up in Democrat hands (which I hope for!) those in power should rather not be bought off by the insurance industry.

To make it worse, even if all stars align and all of this happens, there still remains the problem of exploding rents preventing anyone who rents (=99% of the young population) to make meaningful savings or retirement contributions, and to top that one off student loans also are in dire need of reform and hell will freeze over before the US will even consider the German model of tax-funded world class universities.
This article seems to resurface every few years. It even mentions that it isn’t new, but I think you are right, this has been going on for much longer than 5 years in other places

Setting the price does not set demand. The only thing that makes min wage bumps sustainable is a strong economy.

Additionally, it’s easy to increase the average by eliminating people on the lower end.

If a min wage increase results in a 50% loss of jobs in that range, it’s still an average wage increase for the workers that survived. There’s just a higher unemployed pool that isn’t counted in the average.
The city does as well. Just a few months back, they had some around Leona Heights Park, which is a fairly large piece of land owned by the city.

So, what he claims is that state actors monitor traffic at certain locations, extract subnet information from DNS packets that only large centralized DNS resolvers include when query some authoritative servers that where probed to support that feature. That subnet is not a subnet of an end user IP address, but an IP address of a recursive resolver of that user's ISP. They have to correlate that information with a connection made from that ISP to a web server to track the user. What 1.1.1.1 brings here? State actors now can correlate an actual IP address sending data to 1.1.1.1, with a clear text DNS query going out of it, making tracking more reliable and simple and worse for privacy. And still worse for other CDNs.

Oh, it's not just this screwup. I've had growing misgivings about the way Mozilla has handled Firefox's path for years now. Most of my grievances have to do with refusing to provide tools to enable users to kill off idiotic and/or evil decisions on the part of website developers. For example:

No ability to restrict websites' overrides of keyboard shortcuts as long as Javascript is enabled.

In a similar vein, the scourge of scrolljacking. Every time some web developer thinks that my scrolling down a few notches with my mouse wheel equals "that user wants to scroll precisely one whole page down in slow motion!", my blood pressure spikes.

The Mr. Robot thing. (I came very close to abandoning ship after THAT one.)

The unsettling creepy nature of Pocket, Snippets, and studies.

The stubborn refusal to put easy-to-use media autoplay controls in the normal preferences.

This whole "killing off almost everyone's extensions" debacle.

And now this Normandy thing that's just been publicized, which allows Mozilla to quietly override user preferences. Even if they have the best of intentions in its use, can they be trusted to competently and wisely wield that power?

I just don't trust Mozilla's intentions or competence anymore. So I'm jumping ship. And frankly, I'm starting to develop a real dislike of the web in general. I used to regard Mozilla as the group that provided a great way to access all the cool sites built by talented developers. More and more I'm starting to see Firefox as a necessary evil alternative to Chrome, and the average web developer as a soulless cog in the wheel of the "fuck your privacy, user, we've got advertising we need to ram down your throat and personal data to slurp up en masse!" advertising industry.
> Why can we rebuild it the way it was (as much as possible) and make the fire (and therefore ourselves) an asterisk in the Cathedral’s history? Why must we etch ourselves into everything?

Because we have no choice but to do so: rebuilding it as much as possible identical to how it was is as much writing ourselves into it as novelty is, not that simple stasis has been the consistent rule in past work, anyway.

Whether Church or State or otherwise, communities are evolving entities and the work they produce says something about where they were. Supposing one both can and should mask that is a weird combination of hubris and self-hatred.

That's not to say that
restoration as much as practical to the status quo ante is always wrong, but instead that choosing that should be, and be recognized as, as much of an active statement about the present community as choosing novel elements as part of reconstruction is.
.NET's developer community is in no place comparable Golang's or Javascript's. Just take a look at GitHub's trending page by programming languages. Javascript is really bad for server side applications, and yet here we are with so many nodejs server apps. It doesn't matter much how good a tech is. What matters more is what the new generation is using, which you can get a sense from the trending page on GitHub.
My subway commute is about 30 minutes and I practice some pretty damn niche hobbies.
Additional transmission lowers congestion costs, but you actually increase the "wind artifact" you referred to as you have even more wind online (depending on where the transmission is placed) bidding in below zero as long as the PTC is still in effect. I don't think any new thermal generation has come online in Texas despite their extremely high shortage pricing, so you're really just putting more wind online with new transmission build outs.
Like you, some people complained when the Baron Haussmann transformed Paris or when Eiffel erected his Tower, or when the Louvre Pyramid was built. I see it as an opportunity to make it better. All buildings in Europe that have survived this long have evolved over the centuries. The Mezquita in Cordoba is also a great example with a mosque built around a cathedral.
True. But my point was that their phones don’t go up in price like people think. Yes, if you compare $499 for a bottom tier 4GB iPhone 2G to $1449 for a top of the line 512GB iPhone XS Max, they’re more expensive. But the cost for the base model has hovered around the $700 mark when adjusted (save for the few outliers such as the 2G, SE, X, and XS)
Two people are sufficient to grey out a comment early on. Probably not worth the meta-discussion over.
Can we take a moment and consider the side effects?

This is a once in a lifetime chance for Google & Co. to get a glimpse of all those sly fuckers hiding behind adblockers.

This effectively uncloaked a very specific subset of Internet users and exposed them to the very companies that they've been actively trying to avoid. Not just those who avoid Chrome, but those who take extra steps to explicitly evade the tracking.

Surely Mozilla, the privacy advocate, must understand the impact of this fuck up, and yet the offered "fix" doesn't even mention a one-click .xpi install, but rather asks to enable a mechanism that, if left enabled, will grant unnecessary control to Mozilla over people installs.

This ain't right.
> they don't believe

More specifically, they act in a manner of not believing rather than merely stating as much.
I get your point but you’re also missing the fact that there will always be a need for private hire vehicles (taxis, Uber, chauffeurs, etc), buses, delivery drivers and other goods vehicles too. Some of the streets I’ve worked in were congested just with those types of traffic and the incentives there are pretty clear: they’re getting paid to driving in central London.

Clearly there are going to be people who fall outside of that group and still choose to drive. As I said in my other post, you’ll always get statistical outliers. But for the vast majority of people who live and/or work in London, we will use public transport, bike, or walk. Some of us might drive into Greater London and pick up the Tube. But very few of us would contemplate driving into central London as part of our daily commute.
This comment gets to the crux of this matter, where everyone recognizes industry coding is for the most part not sophisticated enough to warrant a university degree. The majority of jobs are technician 2 year trade school level, but just happen to be well paid for to scarcity. The same folks wouldn't claim the same for doctors or scientists, etc.

Agreed. By "people" above, I should have clarified "adults".

The issue is that it is very difficult for adults to learn new phonemes (individual units of sound that distinguish words from each other) - an adult hearing a novel phoneme tends to map it to one existing in their native language.

Children however aren't handicapped by this problem -- they actually learn the phonemes of their language before they understand the words.

In the Mandarin context, this means it is difficult to learn the ü sound - it just is perceived as something like "u" (resulting in inability to distinguish lü from lu). Tones are another category, where it is just plain hard for adults to distinguish words by tonality. Needless to say, production of the novel sounds is also incredibly hard.

Point being - it's difficult to bridge this gap - and I'd imagine near impossible for most without a teacher. I find Pimsleur's claim of learning a language "effortlessly" with a "near-native accent" - with only the aid of a CD - absurd in this context.

It is a belief that must be tempered with compassion to other countries and peoples, yes. I don't see what ugly conclusions it leads to, however - looking out for one's own family members first doesn't mean you hate your neighbors. A country is the same, just scaled up.

But consider the opposite, a country that does not distinguish between its citizens and others. Can you call such a country 'yours', when it makes you compete with the world instead of protecting you from it? A friend to all is a friend to none.

> I've hired "zero experience programmers without a Bachelor". If there is a clear modicum of ability and desire, I'll give a person a chance to prove themselves.

Did they do something at home? Some hobby project to show? Or they couldn't turn a computer on?

At my company (and in a previous one) we have hired - and still hire - people without degrees and minimal experience. But they should show us something. A github repo, taking some MOOCs, doing a "bootcamp".

How do you tell they have ability and desire if they've got absolutely nothing to show?

I have a liberal arts degree, and I entered the "professional" software engineering world by being hired at a serious company at 26, despite being a passionate PC and Linux user since I was 15. But, heck, at that age I could show some more than decent knowledge of operating systems, Python programming, networking, web protocols, and desktop GUIs. All things that I coded in my spare time or to do small jobs for friends or small family businesses. You could say I had no formal education, but not that I had zero experience.

> A few of those hires turned into some of the most technically competent programmers I've ever worked with,

And, all of them stayed at your company? I'm not saying that's not possible - it TOTALLY is. I'm saying that it's risky from an economical POV.
I do this.

I got pulled kicking and screaming back into Python two years ago and I have learned how to look everything up in the official docs.

Back when I was doing mainly Java I would read the Spring and Maven docs on my tablet while spinning at the gym. Spring and Maven are both fundamentally simple if you start with the fundamentals, but if you are working on a system that was written by people who didn't know the fundamentals and just cut-and-pasted from SO you will go insane.

Ask HN: Best way to learn JavaScript in 2019?
I'm a frontend developer and I know enough JS (with JQuery) to get by to create simple web interactivity. It's time for me to learn the fundamentals, so I can then learn libraries like React.

What's the best way to learn? I've completed some beginner level courses on codecademy and others, but forgot much of what I learned within a month or two. I searched here to find books that are recommended, but it seems that many are outdated (without ES6), for instance: Professional JavaScript for Web Developers, which has great reviews, but no ES6. What I know about JS has been learned through doing it and researching the solution and learning bits at a time-- not a great way to learn.

I'm thinking of trying a course on udemy. Along with finding a book to read on the side. Suggestions?
SO is bad.

Everything the authors states are interpretations of how the author interpreted their interactions; they're allegations.

You don't need allegations to support an already established fact unless you're playing to the people, that is, appealing to sentiment to win them over to a cause.

No, it's not like at all.

For death by firearm discharge, the coroner would indicate W34, X74, X94, X95, Y35, or Y36 (depending on the reported circumstances: suicide, homocide, legal action, or war). [1] This cause of death is readily determined by the autopsy and reported immediate circumstances.

Changing the cause of death to air pollution rather than asthma (J45) requires lengthy investigation into years of the deceased's lifetime. It would be infeasible to use that as an actual classification.

---

An actually comparable (and practically relevant) situation is changing cause of death from lung cancer (C34) to smoking. "Smoking" is not a cause of death recognized by the CDC, WHO, or any other health organization; it's a underlying factor. This is why you'll see statistics on smoking-related deaths.

Luckily, all the evidence is that minimum wage increases don't cause any job losses.
Is there any value to citing wages as opposed to real wages? It even says "Not adjusted for inflation" in the chart showing the increase in average hourly earnings.

Real wages have increased +1.5% March 2018 - March 2019, which the article would do well to point out. Citing that growth has topped 3% for nine months is almost in some ways misleading if it turns out that growth doesn't confer a similar increase in purchasing power.

The BLS tracks real wages which is where I got my 1.5% figure. To further put things in perspective, from March 2018 through March 2019 average paychecks increased by about $30 a week. At the same time, real average weekly earnings only increased by about $5.

I don't get why they would avoid (edit: less so "avoid" more like "miss/omit") this subject completely.

That's a big part of this article, it talks about a network of censors. Since stealth crafts are typically only stealthly at certain angles, the combination of multiple view points would highlight any stealth objects, and that merged picture could be broadcast to all assets in the area. It also happens that experimental network was the place the incident occured, and it seeminly recorded everything. Shortly after the incident uniformed officers came and confiscated the recordings.
To answer your point when talking about colleges, people like being spoonfed because they are lazy. This is why video tutorials for, say, programming are so popular, and why you see people ask about how to learn programming from scratch for the millionth time, when answers are a search engine entry away.

The primary benefit of college is a degree. Networking is a secondary benefit, where the more elite the college the better opportunity is.

There is absolutely no difference in the quality of self-education in, say, computer science or mathematics vs. going to a top-tier college for it, given a motivated, moderately intelligent student.

"if a min wage increase results in a 50% loss of jobs in that range"

That is a huge "if". Is there anywhere that actually happened?
The basic premise doesn't make sense.

If the candidate has real-world experience, go with that. If they're recent grads assume they know very little and will need on the job exposure to learn. So the most useful criteria is an ability to learn. If there's a better indicator for that than a degree then by all means use it. Skills is only a useful measure if you plan to utilize rather than cultivate them.
