The size of population and complexity of the system is only one small factor. You still have to organise about the same level of transport system regardelss of where the money comes from. Ridership doesn't increase massively with these schemes, what tends to happen is that the people who use the service just use it more.

In Tallin apparently some of the funding needed came from an increase in municipal taxes. You have to be registered as living in or around Tallin to get the free transport, and a lot of people updated their registration to addresses in Tallin. As a result tax income moved to Tallin (but at a loss to other places).

So a large factor in the cost effectiveness of a free transport policy is the amount that the transport system is subsudied and the ratio of that amount to the budget. In places where the transpost system is mostly funded by taxes (most places in the world, especially Europe & the US) it's easier to introduce as there's less of an impact on the budget.

The benefits & beneficiaries of this policy aren't clear and easy to define as they vary place to place. There's a lot of thinking that it's better to provide free or cheap transport for those who earn less and have to make long public transport journies to work as they're priced out of living in cities.

Yes but I don't think hinkley was stating otherwise, only that it is generally speaking easier to reason about when things are sequential. Of course, personally I find RPC to be impossible to reason about because you can't really guarantee anything in a distributed system.
Sure, that's a valid criticism. However -- and as far as I'm aware -- this isn't an issue in any of the other countries, suggesting that this is more a peculiarity of the British system, rather than an inherent feature of not allowing free speech?

I'll reiterate a part of my comment I left in a different subthread:

If you have a problem with violence, Mortal Kombat should be near the bottom of the list because it's just pixels, without anyone getting killed or disabled in real life.

Just look at how popular UFC, MMA, WWE, boxing and other contact sports are. Billions of people watch them. Floyd Mayweather was paid hundreds of Millions of dollars for beating his opponents, imagine just how many people paid to watch that? And they really enjoyed it. This is infinitely more worrisome to me than people not handling gamedev well.

People have been maimed and killed in the (boxing) ring. Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson's syndrome as the result of all the head trauma he went through.

Yes that's why I said "every use of git [...] (2) is a hack".

> Secondly I think his point is (and I kind of agree) that while you certainly can use git to version you documents, 3D-models, and InDesign layouts, it's not necessarily the best tool for the job. Sure if you're already well versed in git go ahead and use it and if you're collaborating with people using git you're probably going to have to learn it, but at least realize that using git for not-code is probably not the best tool for the job especially if you're at the same time trying to learn git from zero.

What do you see as the best tool for the job?

The scientific opinion is that is insufficient evidence to either exclude or include it as a cancer cause but most studies show some increase. This is the main reason for only extending the permit in the EU for 5 years instead of indefinitely.

Yes, it would be nice to see something other than speed issues and slow networks.

I think encryption can be one. If you don't know the internals and handle it as a black box, you can lose security. For example if you encrypt a string twice with a one time pad, you get back the original.

Another could be presenting content. For example saving content as html or pdf. Pdf has a concept of pages and you may have aesthetically suboptimal pagination if you try to abstract away the final format. You may even need to cut a sentence from the content to have optimal visuals.

Or if you tried to consider all image formats equally and autosaved to JPEG every minute while editing, the lossy compression would degrade quality.

The fix is usually exposing the particular aspect on the interface. The problem is that usually new things that we think should fit some abstraction turn out to have peculiarities we didn't think of when designing the abstraction. We thought our abstraction is more general and future-proof than it is.
>What has the US gained over these countries from that free speech, exactly?

I think it's non-trivial to try to quantify the effects of free speech.

Freeform opinions off the top of my head:

the definitions of 'hate speech' are too fluid, allowing argument opposition to massage the definition until your protest against them is considered to be hateful -- which then allows legal options to silence the opinion.

The United States has been the culture leader of the Western world for some time, and the position seems to be ever-increasing. The United States is , and has been, the largest media producer ever . This allows the United States to own the most effective propaganda engine the world has ever seen.

New branches of media genre and topic since the 1900s are almost entirely US-centric (Pop art, Beatniks, Flower power, hip-hop and rap culture, jazz, blues, etc) -- many of them included topics like public dissent and negative opinion of government that would've been entirely illegal in the majority of the rest of the world. They are all now ubiquitous throughout the world, spreading US-centric culture to all reaches.

I think that freedom of speech helped to facilitate the role the United States now holds within 'Western Civilization', related to the above mentioned points.

In my opinion, in our world, owning the world's biggest propaganda engine seems to be the most dominating weapon yet.

Some questions :

If forming a government, and the results of certain variables are unclear, why not try to wholeheartedly clone the most successful example? The United States is that example, at the moment.

At what point is a parity reached between damages of false-imprisonment, and actual damage accrued from the results of hate speech?

What are the damages of hate speech? Can you realistically consider damages from a violent individual to have been caused by hate speech -- or is that a good scapegoat for a mentally disturbed individual to kill people with?

Why do we attack social problems with less communication, and enforced communication, rather than with care for the ill individuals who display behavior outside the social healthy norm? Will macro actions help problems that stem from individual issues?

And most importantly : Who gets to define our speech? Who holds the keys to the kingdom? Who deserves that trust?
8chan, I believe, is not a "racist" message board, rather a free speech message board, which means they host racists among other users.

Unfortunately, the city I live in has been burned, bombed, or otherwise destroyed a couple of times since it became a city in the late middle ages. This destruction happened regardless of likeability or sturdiness of the buildings involved.
The example you're looking for is insurance, where it's an obvious problem. You can't just open an insurance company, take people's premium payments, and then go broke when there's a claim.

But for other companies, normal limited liability bankruptcy is the default solution. Nobody thought coal companies would be a special risk in the sense of having liabilities way after their income. It's like if you invent an ice cream that turns out to give people cancer in 20 years, there's no recourse beyond what money the company has at that time.

If you decide to spend thousands on a tractor with an AI sophisticated enough to do everything a regular human tractor driver does, but nothing other than that; and if once you buy that piece of equipment you've committed yourself with a service contract for rest of the equipment's life; then what you are doing is basically either handing over your business or something equivalent to hiring a human being for a 20+ year long contract that only does one job.

I would never do that, unless I was actually renting the land. Some people do rent their land, and perhaps committing to such a contract could make sense to them.

The alternative is to simply buy a tractor and then hire someone that does many other things, like driving other tractors, cleaning them and do some repairs and maintenance. (If I could do that to my own AI-powered tractor, maybe then I would buy one). This is about who controls your business.

I believe there's future in modularity, but I also believe some kinds of equipment won't fall into the automation ratchet or the "evolve to AI or die" category.

Which no one has demonstrated workably or economically.

The best way to sequester carbon is to turn it into coal or oil and bury it deep underground where it will remain for hundreds of millions of years.

It's insane to dig up coal and oil, burn it for energy, then spend MORE energy capturing all that CO2, converting it back into a long-term storage formfactor, and burying it again.

Much simpler to leave the coal/oil buried and get your energy from other sources.

Carbon sequestration makes way less sense than simply not digging up the carbon and burning it in the first place.

People can still get insurance that allow the risk to be priced in. Without such a mechanism, the risk is completely ignored, and society has to bear the cost when things go wrong. If taking this risk into account slows down investment, maybe we don't need such reckless investment that puts people's health, lives and the very future of the species at risk.

Its funny that every time when poor people ask for something like student debt relief, the familiar old sermons about personal responsibility are trotted out. But when the rich are asked to be held to the same standards, we are told that it is just not possible, society itself would collapse and so on.

This British peculiarity could perhaps be regarded by some people as one nasty failure mode of free-ish speech.

I would say that once you have free-ish speech, you have incentives for people to find ways to characterize speech they dislike for any reason as on the wrong side of the "ish" lines. The more flexible and privately actionable the enforcement is the more people will seek to find ways to use it for their own gain.

To put it another way, how easy do you want it to be for powerful private citizens or the government to silence anyone they don't like for arbitrary reasons? Before any protests that this can be countered by clear legal drafting, perhaps consider how readily criticism of Israeli policies is cast as anti-Semitic hate speech.
Even after years of Git usage, `git reset --soft -- file`, `git reset --mixed -- file`, BUT `git checkout file` instead of `git reset --hard -- file` is ugly and symptomatic of Git's lackluster UX.
If we were trading off "all excess CO2" for "all litter" I might agree with you, but we're measuring the impact of the CO2 involved in nonplastic bag production vs the litter from all plastic bags.

What percentage of total worldwide CO2 emissions does nonplastic bag production represent? I'm not a subject matter expert, but I would shocked if the portion was more than minuscule. Whereas plastic grocery bags represent a pretty signifiant percentage of litter.

Since this boils down to "how much CO2" vs "how much litter", I really don't find this question easy to answer.
