It's a pretty horrible argument unless they come back through to actually explain what they mean.

> Wealth redistribution doesn't work and never has.

Is a HUGE sweeping generalization that has literally zero substance in a discussion - and technically it's false off-the-bat because I'm certain almost anyone can think of at least ONE example where the "redistribution of wealth" has worked to lessen human suffering. Also, don't let someone come through here and try to redefine what they meant by those words - they mean that they don't believe in wealth re-distribution plain and simple.

When you see binary arguments like that it's a flag to run for the hills.
I remember there was this CEO once who was new to the software industry and was looking for a word to describe non-small-business customers. When people suggested "Enterprise", he instantly dismissed it, and when they insisted this is already the word we all use to mean this, he actually opened the dictionary to prove that it wasn't quite accurate. What I took from this is that, when cultures or conventions already have momentum, sometimes you just have to go with it. This is the same reason I don't like Go.
Confirmed: Nasa Has Been Hacked
So Iraq was sovereign till it was invaded.

To whatever extent it was, depending on how acknowledged it was. It's more a matter of degree. Once someplace is invaded and occupied, then the settled answer is definitely "no" on sovereignty.
> If those goods are banned, the alternatives will cost more.

That does not necessarily follow. They may very well cost the same or slightly more. Even in competitive markets, the assumption that price of a product is very close to the minimum possible costs of manufacturing does not hold. Real markets are nowhere near that efficient. There's lots of wiggle room in prices.

My overall point here is that removing some options isn't about taking away people's freedom to choose; it's about preventing the market from offering a rigged choice in the first place.
Fast Payments break between EU banks all the time.
So John Deere sells upgrade packages for its equipment. If you need more torque, towing capacity, etc, you pay for the upgrade. It likely pushes you a new tune and raises the boost. They definitely don't want some local tuner shop being able to handle this for you which explains their reasoning ($$).

I've seen the price list once recently but I can't recall how I found it and it's evading me right now. The upgrades were basically several thousand to tens of thousands. Wish I could find where I saw this, searching gets me nothing.
That might work in .rbi files because they could be parsed independently of Ruby itself (basically giving Ruby the C-style header+impl split).

As far as ruby goes, though, it would conflict with keyword arguments.

> With money, there is an incentive to try to contact in the hope that if no response is received within a short period, the money can be kept.

Your notion makes zero sense. Wanting to keep the money never incentivizes contact. If they wanted to keep the money, the surest way to accomplish that is to just keep it.
For what it's worth, Mozilla locks down internal access to security bugs too. I can't see those bugs, which is exactly how it should be, as I have no need to know.
They never figured out how to build on the Nexus 7's success and momentum
There was one nifty thing that fell out from having delay slots - you could write a threading library without having to burn a register on the ABI. When you changed context to a different thread, you'd load in all the registers for the new thread except for one which held the jump address to the new thread's IP. Then, in that jump's delay slot, you load in the thread's value for that register and, presto, zero overhead threading!

It's absolutely correct. When people leave a job it's usually due to a bad manager which can be confusing because sometimes upper management will say a manager is great, but everyone below him thinks he/she is awful
>To me, buying a house is cementing your location and stunting the amount of knowledge you can acquire by handcuffing you to a location and limiting your exposure to the world.

Too many people have a narrow view of home ownership and end up believing in things like this.

Whether it is true or not depends entirely on the location and the market. In the right places, you can buy a house that is near all the amenities (walking distance, even). The only real risk is the RE market, and how much loss you're willing to take to sell the house quickly (i.e. 6% RE fees when selling). In my case, the value rose enough in one year that I could have sold and still made a gain.

If you can't sell because the loss will be too high, there are other alternatives (e.g. renting your house), but as I said, it all depends on the market.

>If I do it, it would be to exploit financial interests with the right opportunity.

Umm - isn't that why many do it? I mean yes, people do buy houses for other reasons, but if they don't perform due diligence in the math, it could end up hurting.

At the moment my house is limiting my opportunities - I'm turning down any offer to move to SV, for example. But it has nothing to do with being shackled financially. I'm making the choice because of all the fringe benefits my house provides, which I would instantly lose were I to move to SV. Am I missing out on broadening my world view by not moving? Sure. Are others missing out on experiences by not owning? In some cases, yes.
> why would homogeneity make a difference?

Two things I can think of off the top of my head.

People more easily help people that are similar to themselves, simply because they can easily see themselves in their shoes.

You'd have similar productivity throughout the population, i.e. you won't have some distinct part of the population do most of the work while other distinct parts of the population are primarily taking but not contributing. Having cemented net transfers where, say, protestants to all of the work and catholics sit around collecting welfare will make for unhappy protestants (and you need those to be happy, because they do the work).
I wonder if he had to come up with different voice disguises.
Yes, you'll likely get a C&D order, however that doesn't mean you'll lose. As an example, Ferrari a few years ago went after all the independent "Joe's Ferrari Service" type places in the US with C&Ds against them using Ferrari's name in their business name. Most of the shops banded together and all sent legal letters telling Ferrari to $%*# off as it was fair use. Ferrari backed off.
I just want to say thank you for your posts on ledger and CLI accounting. I've been trying to port my personal book-keeping from Mint recently and your blog posts have been extremely helpful (even if I have chosen beancount over ledger/hledger because I was struggling with the Haskell ecosystem).
Where I work (Denmark); it's more the looks you get if you only take one or two weeks off or if you constantly stay in the office past 7hrs.

Over working is not healthy and you are not productive anyway. Work (at most) the 37.5hrs/week (maybe 40 if there's a crunch) you are paid for and take your 6 weeks of yearly vacation that you are entitled to (plus holidays) - is what I'd recommend and what my manager pushes. I think that's a good thing.
> However, "Like, uh, their purpose." is grammatically and semantically meaningless.

Compare to "Like, well, their purpose". I don't expect you'd have any problem with the word 'well' in that sentence but it serves pretty much the same semantic function as the 'uh'.
Couldn't agree more, I've got at least a couple of dozen computers (from workstations and thin clients through 486s and Pi's) at home and only the main server and its backup have persistent storage.

Especially useful for Windows; it is rather slower diskless (compared to BSD/linux) but it makes Windows instances disposable.

Takes a bit of effort (more these days, FUVM systemd) but having a RAMdisk + diskless RO /usr is a great way of having computers everywhere all singing the same song.
I've never been to programming college but in 10 years I have always heard them as def(parameters) and call(arguments). Probably a lot of that was when reading about how VMs and compilers work, though.
Returning a wallet is just "honesty", not "civic honesty".

You are probably right. I remember my mother called it Tri-veni-sangamam. I see now that is in Allahabad. But we took a boat to this spot from one side of the river in Varanasi. Can that be done? Wondering if we took a dunk at some random spot and were duped.
I still use my 2013 Nexus 7 every day.
Good point - I certainly uses GitHub all the time and I should thank you for pointing out my bias. Most of the people probably won't care, but then again, aside from Google, most people here probably won't care about the censored websites either. It's also worth mentioning that Google's Chinese search is atrocious although that might have happened after they quit China.
Isn’t that because they don’t make Android tablets at all?
Petey the Parrot. The model was originally stolen from the Microsoft Agent SDK, and about a year after launch Microsoft got wind of it and made them swap it out for their own 3D model. The lovable purple guy.
"A huge chunk of the world" and "literally every human being throughout history" are very different things. Like I said, a problem is potentially solvable politically if you have at least one constructive proof of people not doing that. If you don't, though, then it's likely one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_universal.

If, for some reason, you thought that—to use a random example from the list—people having names was a bad thing, would you try to use politics to get people to stop naming their children? No; that'd be insane. People aren't going to give up doing that as long as they're still human beings in any sense we recognize. Even if you outlaw it, they'll still do it; it'll just be a secret.

Same goes for many good things, but also for many bad things. You'll never be able to erase the human concept of e.g. people having things that are more "theirs" than someone else's (even in a communist totalitarian regime) or sexual jealousy (even if there's a central educational authority raising everyone polyamorous), or arbitrary etiquette fads (even in the context of a concrete replacement for them, like a military code of conduct) or people valuing kin over strangers (even if Effective Altruism propaganda were to be broadcast from loudspeakers on every corner.) You can't make a world without these things in them, without making a world without humans as we know them in them.

There are problems amenable to politics. Maybe most problems. But some problems just... aren't. (These problematic aspects of humanity may be amenable to other solutions—potentially many! It's just that a political solution requires the majority of people to want it; and, by the fact that these are universals, the majority of humans will never want them gone.)
I have AppleCare+ and my keyboard replacement required the store to send it in. Makes no difference.
The design of many of these doesn't really lend themselves into being split into duplexes.
The problem with renting is that you're still paying the mortgage, only in the renting case you're also paying the middleman who then pays the mortgage. This is why rent per month is higher than mortgage per month for the same house.

That statement is very location specific.[1] In SF, it's cheaper to rent than to buy (on a monthly basis) and because of rent control, it's often cheaper to rent versus buy over your lifetime.

In SF, it costs ~$1,000 to rent what would cost $600,000 to buy. In Cleveland, it cost ~$1,000 to rent what would cost $100,000 to buy.

Obviously very different outcomes if you rent versus buy in each city.

At first I thought it was counterintuitive.

But after self-reflection, I'm more likely to report it if it did have money.

If it had money, I'd feel an obligation to protect it and return it to the owner. If it didn't, I'd feel more like it's their problem.
>On the flip side though, after my 15 year mortgage is up I'm not going to pay another dime outside of maintenance on this thing.

Property taxes on 3 bedroom place in san francisco are going to be at least $1,000 a month. Even when you've paid it off, it stays expensive.
I wasn't really thinking in terms of politics -- There's still a few hub cities in conservative land that are the main places people live, right? More people live in just the Houston metro area than in all of Missouri, despite rural MO being cheaper and just as conservative.

I guess the point i'm trying to make is in regards to the original poster -- They posited that if people don't have to care about job locations and as much about cost, real estate values in concentrated places would drop.

I'm arguing that if people could move anywhere they preferred, concentrated places would get _more_ popular, because the gains you get living in currently desirable places get more valuable the more time and money you have. Obviously you have some people who's preference is to live somewhere isolated, but most of those people don't currently live in expensive places. There are some people who are holed up in San Diego and waiting until the day they can leave, but that number is probably swamped by the people who'd move there in a heartbeat if they could find a job that payed well enough.

Maybe my sample is skewed, but I'm from a small city in MO, most of my friends are early 30s and starting to settle down and start families, and I know a lot more people who would rather live in NYC/Boulder/Nashville/Dallas than either where they live now, or somewhere more rural.

There were a lot of reports in the Chinese news a while ago about people being taken in by scammers that pretended to be injured, had the mark help them, and then claimed that the mark's help proved they had a guilty conscious and was responsible and owed them monetary reparations.

This sort of came to a head when a small child was run over and many pedestrians passed without helping.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Wang_Yue

So I'm imagining many Chinese people might be reluctant to return a wallet in case it turns out to be some sort of scam.
Is that website not Which? https://www.which.co.uk/ ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Which%3F )

Although they are UK based, so not so useful to you. Maybe there's a US analogue. Plus, of course, they maintain their independence by not taking bungs from the manufacturers or allowing advertising, which means they sell their information rather than give it away. But then, if you want them to be independent, what other source of income could they have?
If you can afford to have staff, you get to live in what amounts to be your own private world, completely disconnected. This is the end result of the dream of an individualistic society. Alternately, you can afford to have basically all your personal "village" living in the same spot with you - close friends, family, etc. This usually works out mainly if all your income is passive.
Hrmm. I could do a login if you really want. I have an openvms and netbsd disk.

I've been trying to not take this thing to ewaste for a decade
I'm curious if there is anywhere in the US that cheap that you can actually make more than $35-40k/year (locally, remote work is obviously different).

The median income for a man with a Bachelor's degree in the US is ~$51k [0] - which means a full half of reasonably well educated men make less than that (the numbers for college educated women are much more grim). I'm assuming there is substantial overlap between less expensive places to live and people making below median income.

I've tried buying upmarket items as my income has appreciated, however I haven't always found the additional cost worth the price. The KitchenAid mixer we purchased was worth every penny, but other high cost items like Pampered Chef haven't been any better than what I can purchase at Target. I'm definitely in the spot of trying to find durable, quality items at any cost as I need to plan for them to not break down when I'm gone. I don't want my wife and daughter saddled with constantly breaking garbage that I'm not here to be able to fix.
Dont know if this applies, but my understanding is that in functions, a parameter is the name of a declaration which when called will receive an argument.
No. You are just used to your flaws, and not used to theirs; and have learned not to complain about yours, but complaints about theirs are welcomed in your circle.

In other words: other systems really are crap, but so is yours, really, but we all get our stuff done, despite it all. Sometimes things get better (Moore's law has forgiven all manner of evil) and sometimes they get worse (Java).

Anyway if you happen to see this I was not wearing a helmet, on flat ground. Not proud to say but I was on sidewalk and the rear wheel slipped off the side into soft ground bringing the entire apparatus to a quick halt from prob 15mph. Woke up a few min later with my face on the sidewalk and my legs curled up beneath me. Luckily I was wearing a thick stocking cap which prevented me from more serious injury. Total damage was bruised brow ridge and lip/chin, missing chunk of leg flesh apparently from hitting the handlebars, broken hand, and broken ribs.

I don't find it counterintuitive at all. It's just less of a big deal to lose a wallet that has no money in it than one that does have money in it.

In only one case do you actually lose money. Both cases require the same effort to make contact.

For the civic-honesty-minded person who has to balance that effort cost to themselves against the victim's loss, there's going to naturally be a stronger impulse to help the person who stands to lose more.
If I took out a home equity loan in order to do X, I would say that I borrowed money for X, not that I borrowed money for X using a home equity loan.

Taking out a $150,000 loan for a wedding describes the purpose of the loan, not the collateral.
Completely agree. I think one main goal of introducing an African/European hybrid was to improve the productivity in tropical and sub-tropical climates (Central/South America) and arid climates (parts of northern Mexico and southern US) where the introduced European bees were less well-adapted.

It's now well-documented that African bees are considerably more defensive, making beekeeping challenging, although not impossible. While this is less desirable for humans, it turns out to be a very valuable set of behaviors for bees in the right environment.
AP definitely doesn't handle construction zones well. That's one of the main differences with human drivers is we look at more than just the road, we can see a construction zone a half mile ahead and read the signs that warn us when we get closer. We know the lanes are about to get messed up and we are ready for it. My wife's Tesla is surprised every time the lanes do something funny. We drove through a construction zone on the highway last weekend where they had shifted the road over and left the old lane lines on the road in addition to the new lines they had just painted, basically turning a 3 lane highway into 6 mini-lanes. The Tesla lost it's mind trying to figure out what to do and I had to take over. To a human it was pretty clear as the old lane lines were faded and the new ones were bright white. As humans the lanes are not our only point of reference, the lanes just keep the cars organized on the road. Until we have an autonomous system that can look beyond just the road and lanes and recognize the environment around the road I'm not sure we'll ever see fully autonomous driving.
Global lost wallet experiment finds most people are honest
I agree. It depends on the value. If it's a wallet with an ID and CCs. Most likely the owner will at first chance cancel all CCs and request new ID. So the value is in the wallet itself. For the most part billfolds are cheap.

If it has lots of money that amount probably is a non-trivial amount to the wallet owner and you feel obligated to return it as you would want the same.

Looks like they didn't adjust for PPP when they did the experiment. Not sure it would make _much_ difference. But $13 might mean more in some places than in others. Even within the US. $13 in San Francisco vs $13 in dusty Fresno.
