I wouldn't want to jail Walmart. That doesn't benefit anyone, it's just punitive. Jail the executives responsible under the usual criminal law.
Marrow transplant is absolutely barbaric. Truly terrible. My daughter did it and I don’t feel like describing her discomfort but I’m sure there are some detailed stories that can be found elsewhere on the internet.
That's all well and good, but 'frequentnapper did not actually say anything about Citizens United in the first place.

If corporations are people, we should jail them. If corporations aren't people, why do they have legal rights independent of the individual, jailable people who constitute them?
I don't think the key is a strong control without more information about the key.

Say I've lost both a house key and also enough information to, in the current era of scummy personal information aggregation websites, find out my home address, which you can definitely commonly do based on just name and email address and an assumption of local residency. Then regardless of whether I get the key back I should in paranoia change the locks on my house, because now an unscrupulous person who found it easily has a copy of the key and knows exactly where to use it.

So if it's a house key, then in defense it should have no more value to me but has significant (hopefully temporary) value to them.
It makes unit testing much easier. That’s the best explanation I’ve found. Rapid prototyping too, but that just means you’re backloading tech debt so that’s at best neutral in pure technical terms. In a startup context backloading tech debt is deeply desired.

Even the full url doesn't make it any more clear, it's just https://bitbucket.org/blog/why-rust

It's strange that Bitbucket is giving urls like that to "guest posts". There's very little distinction from an official post like this one: https://bitbucket.org/blog/take-control-with-branch-restrict...

It even shows Ash Moosa (an Atlassian employee) as the author of all the guest posts when you're on the main blog page (https://bitbucket.org/blog/), and you can only see who the actual author is by going into the post individually and looking for the "guest post by" section at the top of the text (and below another section showing Ash Moosa as the author).

Really bad design if they're planning to put up a lot of guest posts like this.
Hooks brought me back to react. Everyone is different I guess.
This is such a hairy problem. On the one hand, the simplistic libertarian argument—“Private companies don’t have to host content they don’t like, period!”—fails to convince because of the special legal status enjoyed by online platforms due to the CDA. On the other hand, it’s definitely not a straightforward first-amendment issue, because the first amendment is explicitly narrow: it bars congress from passing laws that restrict free speech. Perhaps the best argument I’ve come across is that private censorship is an issue of civil rights, rather than constitutionally-guaranteed civil liberties. The legal justification for, say, not allowing businesses of public accommodation to discriminate based on race doesn’t come from the constitution. Nevertheless, only a few on the far right want the CRA to be repealed.
The gp comment doesn’t seem to mention citizens united ... why bring it up in response to a comment about corporate personhood? It is almost completely non sequitur
The entire google OS stack is a mess. Most of the problems that the device manufactures are being blamed for can be traced back to the core model.

AKA the idea that the firmware/os/drivers are all bundled together and hacked to work on a given device simply doesn't scale. Its employment for engineers because very security patch, every upstream refactor, requires all those closed source patches to be rebased on the latest version. This might work ok if the underlying technology (linux) didn't change their driver APIs at the drop of the hat, or the device manufactures didn't play throw darts at the soup of ARM interconnects, ram controllers, and devices, everytime they spun a new generation of phones/tablets/chromebooks.

Apple can get away with the monolithic model because they have a half dozen fairly similar devices to support. There are android manufactures which have released more devices in the last 6 months.

Yah, google is trying to fix that, but without a hard line in the sand with respect to pushing non-core OS/driver functionality into standardized runtime firmware APIs (think powermgmt) and locking down the driver API (userspace or otherwise) and assuring that it takes a long time for API's to be replaced/upgraded/deprecated. The hardware/upgrade story will continue to be a mess.
I remember when BonziBuddy and Comet Cursor were the go-to trolling tools for gamers. If someone asked how to "hack in counter strike" one of these solutions were suggested.
Citizen's United is not the only case relevant to the idea of corporate personhood. There's a whole history of corporations earning rights usually reserved for people.

You can read the wikipedia page for "corporate personhood" if you want to learn more about the history of it and specific cases and rights afforded to corporations.

That assumes corruption exists in these countries because people are OK with it, but that doesn't square with everything I've read about corruption. It exists because corrupt systems are difficult to dismantle.

By analogy, imagine someone from outside the US making the argument that it's "just our culture" that makes it OK for a lobbyist to walk into a senator's office with a $20,000 check in hand ready to discuss policy. That's a situation almost nobody is happy with here - it's not a "cultural difference" but a difference in how power structures have been built up over time through a concerted effort by very small groups in a larger society.
Clock ceiling became largely irrelevant with finfets, even most low end zen dies were hitting 3-3.5ghz when overclocked. Downbinned dies are clocked higher because they have more thermal leeway with 2 cores disabled.
Except corporations don’t have equal protection under law. They have more protection than individuals because they’re a device for absolving individuals of personal liability. The only penalty we seem to want to subject them to for any kind of wrongdoing is a fine, which is often not enough to deter the activity that caused them to receive said fine.

We need to make fines meaningful, start holding C-level execs personally responsible in some cases, and bring back the only penalty that matters to an immortal and amoral legal entity: the death penalty, via revocation of the corporate charter. Only then will we see the behavior of corporations start to change.

This is fair. I didn’t use YUI too much but in retrospect it was pretty modern for it’s time.

They won't be released for two weeks, so we're mostly seeing cherry-picked benchmarks that favor Zen because they have no core-to-core communication.
Great question. Those are examples we built that we thought would be easily relatable to show what's possible with this integration.

Some services will give you the ability to handle PII or PCI (payments) data, but not all services make it so easy on their customers.

Also worth noting is that this Netlify integration allows you to collect sensitive info one time and then send it to as many vendors as you might need/want.

So, for example, if you get different levels of data from various background check providers, you could collect SSN, driver's license, other PII, etc. and run it through any number of vendors.

You also retain optionality and the ability to send your data wherever you want in the future.

So do I. And I wouldn't say that HTML is difficult to write, at least, it was once made for this. However, the deprecation of <b> and <i> is a bit of a hassle. (<b> is still an abstract concept like <strong>, but the latter is 5 characters more – and this twice, once for the opening tag and once for the closing part.)

For a blog, you've probably a basic style sheet for this already and adding to this on the fly in order to express your ideas is a nice option.
I do wonder how many people buy Kindle Fires when they aren't on one of their $40 clearance sales. I've bought three or four of them that way.

They are, to be honest, pretty terrible, but for reading in the middle of the night when I can't turn on the light and use my regular Kindle, they beat using my phone.

Seems like it would be sensible for the US to push the rest of the world to adopt the same law. We're able to push other countries to adopt our war on drugs laws, why not war on corruption?

The replies they sent to emails said "it's OK; please keep or donate the money as you please".

They did in some cases (seven cities in the Czech Republic and Switzerland) then drop by in person to try to retrieve the wallets, but (unless I misunderstood) that's only about 1% of the wallets.
There are some types of culturally accepted behaviors that I would and do get on my soap box and say we shouldn't do business with those places. A little grifting for building permits is not one of those.

> Human beings are allowed to organize for the purposes of political action and whether or not they decide to form a corporation doesn't matter because "corporation" isn't a constitutional concept

Sure it does - if I am killed by a natural person due to negligence, the state can imprison the person who killed me. If I am killed by a corporation due to negligence, the state generally does not imprison any individual, because of the "corporate veil." If you get rid of the corporate veil, then that's totally fine with me. (It's just like, if human beings wish to organize for political action, they don't get any more votes that way - they still only vote as humans.)

> Further, "personhood" means you can sue the corporation, it can hold property, etc. Lawyers usual call "corporate personhood" "legal entity."

So, one of the common effects of prison is deprivation of the right to property - you don't get to access your house or the stuff in it while you're in prison. This is generally considered to be an important part of the deterrence. Why don't we do the same to corporations? Let's say that Walmart doesn't lose any of the property it owns, but for a period of a couple of years, it loses access to it.

Another side effect of jail is a loss or at least serious restriction on communications privileges with the outside world, which we can also equally well apply to corporations. Why don't we say that this applies to corporations too? While Walmart is imprisoned, no communications on behalf of the company can occur, except for access to its lawyer.
I've already explained over and over again that yes, women can perpetuate aspects of toxic masculinity. I'm just going to redirect you to the wikipedia entry on toxic masculinity [1] in hopes that you're willing to engage in the argument rather than endlessly attempt to conflate masculinity with all men which has nothing to do with the discussion on toxic masculinity.

Well, the CEO can be jailed, but if HSBC case is illustrative then the the very top tier of the DOJ/FBI/ETC ordered any US Attorneys who’d be amenable to doing something like that to stand down.
As a business owner, I will tell you that the cost of the higher wages will not be paid by my business. It will get passed on to customers who can spend a little extra UBI to help support the "you don't have to work to live" populace.

When my laptop got a water splash on it, that killed the charging circuitry (laptop still ran perfectly on AC, battery health/test was excellent, it just couldn't charge).

No, thanks (for that laptop, which was permanently connected to a digital piano, charging wasn't strictly necessary).

If the people in power are abusive in some way, then advocate sanctions or something. Fining Walmart because a Brazilian Walmart employee living and working in Brazil greased few palms to get building permits seems like a fool's errand.
The trend of rich Chinese investing in US property is likely also due to the trade imbalance. Just supply and demand.

Could be a reference to Go choosing to use different words for similar concepts that exist in other languages like C++? I'm not familiar enough to think of examples though.
> Groovy is one language

Apache Groovy is two languages. The Groovy 2.x download, first released in 2012, bundles two different compilers that were both forked from the Groovy 1 compiler. Only one of them has upgraded to the JDK-7 invoke-dynamic capabilities, and the other (which hasn't) is the one actually used by Gradle and Jenkins and everyone else. Last month, the Groovy project managers at the ASF announced they were keeping the upcoming Groovy 3 as two separate languages also. The long-awaited parser upgrade from Antlr 2 to Antlr 4 is being bolted on to the invoke-dynamic compiler only -- the compiler no-one uses. They talked about Groovy 4 reverting back to a single language, but i'm guessing that's many years away because the original purpose of making Groovy be two languages in the first place was to not change the language that users actually use in any way, while simultaneously appeasing their own developers by bundling the code they wrote (invoke-dynamic bytecode generation, Antlr 4 parser upgrade, etc) in the language.
I agree. I use a Kuru Toga pencil that rotates the lead to keep it from becoming wedge shaped. Definitely my favorite pencil of all time.

While I don’t disagree about the consideration of Go, calling Go Rust-like is really strange.

I think of Go as more Java-like than Rust-like. But even that’s a hard comparison. Really, Go is C-like with a garbage collector for memory safety.

Rust is Java or C++-like with a strongly typed compiler, support for generics (not Go), lifetimes for memory management and no GC (closer to C++), and a type system that enforces some constraints around concurrency. I guess they are similar in that they both (by default) create static binaries, but so does C and C++ (if you want).

Rust and Go seem to get lumped together because they both came on the scene around the same time, but that is pretty much where the comparison ends.
Is this new service HIPAA compliant as well? Can I collect patient health info, have it stored in a separate vault from all my other data.. and have it be encrypted at rest?
Even donation isn't particularly pleasant. From the documentation on my donor registry. "This is an inpatient procedure that will have a recovery period which will involve pain and discomfort." "Once the process has been started, can I change my mind? While legally you have the ability to withdraw consent at any point, as the recipient's immune system is extremely compromised and their own marrow is eradicated, you can be considered to have a moral obligation, as at that point, without your donation, the recipient will almost certainly die".
To be fair, that's not at all what was demonstrated.

But... OK. If you can put a transmitter on top of a vehicle in motion you can take control and make it drive to your destination? How is that significantly more damaging or dangerous or "bad" than just grabbing it with a tow truck? Or hijacking it? Or just stealing the vehicle itself?

I mean... this just doesn't really seem like an indictment of autonomous driving to me. People were successfully stealing stuff out of horse drawn carriages (or hell, just stealing the horses) and we all seemed to survive just fine.

Seriously, this just doesn't seem like a doomsday kind of thing. Needs more spin.
You say that, but Twitter has many thousands of employees. They could be much more profitable if they weren't paying enormous amounts of money (for what end I have no idea, the site seems to always be getting less reliable and more bloated).
Many countries do have laws against corruption, but it's so institutionalized that the laws are functionally toothless.
Oh, I thought you were talking about the Hebrew bible and a few other books because of your remark, "some written books repeatedly copied by generations of scribes have managed to survive." The Rhind Papyrus survives in the 3500-year-old original, including its non-digital aspects; although it is a (digital) copy of an older book, no other ancient or medieval copies of that book or of the Rhind Papyrus itself are known.

Micro-engraving is definitely feasible as a form of archival at the individual level; the engraved text will survive being lost or buried, though not melted down. Given the relative ease of micro-engraving many megabytes, though, it might make more sense as a collective project. 1200 DPI is two gigabits per square meter, and engraving a square meter of material is a lot less work than writing 300 megabytes of even prose, much less working code.

But making Lots Of Copies does indeed Keep Stuff Safe, which is why I was puzzled that you seemed to be dismissing that route in your original comment. But you can do both! Media longevity is entirely compatible with mass production. And later copying is necessary for long-term archival, though not for such short timespans as the ones we've been discussing. Media longevity is necessary to bridge the gaps between periods that are politically favorable for archival — the tragedy of the Maya codices and the khipu is due to a politically unfavorable period.

We don't have a lot of information about what the next 3000 years are like, but with modern machinery it's relatively straightforward and affordable to produce sub-gigabyte-scale archives that would have easily survived short periods like the last 3000 years, even without copying. If Ahmes had had FIB etching, we wouldn't just have his algebraic and geometric algorithms; we'd know all the 12th-dynasty celebrity gossip about which court eunuchs had crushes on which priestesses. There aren't many people working on archival media because product-market fit is really elusive with a 3000-year-long feedback cycle, although Norsam at least has an available product, though at a price point that discourages mass production.

Thanks for the information about Observablehq! I'll definitely give it a try.
