Of course rich people donate to charities to prop up their own reputation. That is how charitable causes get money.

If we said this must be prevented because the donor is not a truly ethical selfless person, there would be much less money going to good causes. And who would be the judge of which of us is good enough to be allowed to donate to charities?

Any time I see a discussion about something that needs power someone comes along and says "nuclear power could do that".

I don't want to accuse anyone specifically, because I don't have the data to prove it, but it's starting to become so ridiculously consistent that there is no way there's not something going on.

No one has a personal investment in nuclear power, it's just electricity. But corporations sure have investments.

Feel free to argue how green you think nuclear is that nothing else on the planet could possibly do better. Be sure to note how there's _unlimited_ amounts of nuclear fuel as well.

> The us is still one of the most free countries in the world

With the exception of speech (cool) and guns (meh), the US is not really particularly free by global standards. There is plenty of heavy handed regulation on the books. Think about all the onerous zoning rules, the regressive alcohol laws (what kind of "free" country doesn't let you buy beer in grocery stores in many states?), the food safety laws that ban kinder eggs and unpasteurized milk (which are legal in other countries).
There doesn't have to be one I don't think. Like a local farm co-op, it's meant to be sustainable so growth should be slow and natural, and should realistically find a maximum.

That means that certain products/services aren't a good fit. So I think if you are part of one and you have lofty aspirations for what you are working on, you should plan for the day you outgrow the co-op and need to hire a bunch of people.

There's plenty of actions that, while not illegal, decent people can find distasteful enough to shun people who engage in them. Using your money -- whether directly enough to be considered prostitution, or a little more indirectly -- to surround yourself with women who are 18 years and 10 minutes old is legal but more than a little gross. And extremely gross if they had a choice in the matter roughly equivalent to the Anatole France quote: "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread."

In my (albeit naïve/inexperienced) mind, I could see how a file syncing app could grow to several thousand lines (even tens of thousands), but what all is in those four million lines?

I doubt many on HN of all places are for legally mandated unions, which are the ones that produce true cartel like behavior. Most unions maintain authority through their collective bargaining alone - to abstain from the union would mean the loss of most of your workforce, and thus you must negotiate with the union.

Except if you want to call unions cartels because they negotiate on behalf of their members with employers than anyone trying to barter in business is engaging in cartel like behavior. Its deconstructive because in practice unions only exist to counteract the power imbalance between worker and employer. A cartel in business forms not to counteract power imbalance through collective action but to monopolize existing power.

You might call those origin points irrelevant but they make the world of difference to me. In the absence of unions labor is almost universally exploited. In their presence, businesses are hopefully and sometimes forced to bargain on more equal footing. Thats a net benefit. A business cartel likewise exists to imbalance what was closer to equilibrium and thus is a net negative.

You conveniently forget the immense benefits the American Empire has obtained from maintaining allies in Asia. Japan, Korea and then the other Asian tigers have been incredibly beneficial to American businesses and American consumers. Cheap manufacturing allowed Americans to keep a somewhat decent standard of life in the face of stagnating wages, and has allowed the US to focus on high end manufacturing, services and the like, all of which provide much better jobs than can be provided by the manufacturing sector.

I want to point out the fundamental flaw in your analysis: Asian allies have been an incredible investment for American taxpayers, and not supporting them would not only mean the loss of those benefits, but also goodwill, prestige and respect.

Watch the brake and throttle indicators. He is off the brakes long before committing to the corner. And whenever he is on the brakes it is total. If you gradually move from braking to throttle you will take the turn too sharply. You set the speed before the corner so that during the corner the tires work only on turning. Then you apply the throttle as much as possible on the way out. Braking during the first half of a turn is done for some specific turn geometry (decreasing radius turns, or a car with higher acceleration than braking ability) but is generally a bad habit.
Donating money to charitable causes is just a way to do good.

When somebody does something good we shouldn't say "That must not be allowed because he is only trying to make himself look good".

Rather than try to prevent bad people from doing good things, we should try to do good things ourselves.

Condemning somebody else is a way to make yourself look good. How? When you say that someone else is bad you are implicitly claiming that YOU are not (that) bad. And you are just spending energy (if not money) to prop up your reputation. That is in fact kinda unethical because you are in fact doing nothing good to anybody else than yourself, just polishing your halo, by pointing out how bad some other people are.

> * Ito's position at MIT was so compromised that, for the good of the organization, he needed to quit. He had an obligation to do so; MIT didn't owe him his role, but rather he had joined to serve MIT. He was doing so no longer.

Of course MIT has the right to fire him. I don't really understand what you're trying to argue. The question is whether they should have fired him, which in my view is entirely determined by the badness of his actions.

I really cannot see you pursuing this line of argument with the moral tables turned. If the CFO of Chik-fil-a got forced out because it turned out they were supporters of gay marriage and Chikfila's customers didn't like that, would you be making the same point? That that CFO had no moral right to their position?

> * One reason he was so compromised, in my estimation of the available information, is that he repeatedly did something egregiously wrong. Once again: I've never even heard of a boss anywhere else in technology putting their employees in a position where they felt they may have had to intervene --- at the workplace --- to thwart sex trafficking by an invited VIP guest.

I think that's a very unfair framing of the issue. He invited Epstein over. Epstein brought his 'assistants'. It's still a question mark whether they were even prostitutes, let alone prostitutes operating in any sort of non-consensual capacity. What we have here is simply that someone at MIT speculated whether they were being trafficked. There is no evidence at all that their presence was anything other than consensual.
And he lied about the #. In other news, -totally unrelated I'm sure- Skippy's email is worth reading.
The original article, instead of a slashdot user's summary of the article:

Hiding the origin of money in case like Epstein is clearly wrong. It prevents the bright people to make informed choices - based on their moral standards, not yours - where to work at. There are plenty of scientists who don’t want their work to be funded by that kind of money.
You can get compile time validation for this type of construct using typing.Union.

But once you have type validation i don't really see the use case anymore. Common example of how silly this is is functions that have a special case for handling lists of length 1 by allowing the object to be passed in without being part of a list, eg Union[List[Foo], Foo]. Now you need extra code to handle that special case in your function and the type annotation becomes more verbose. Much easier to just enforce List[Foo] as the only way to call your function and let the caller call you function as do_stuff([x]) if they only have a single item x. The IDE will complain instantly if you try to call it as do_stuff(x) so there is no risk to accidentally call it like that.

> when Carroll talks about 'physicists not understanding QM', he's just unhappy that most physicists don't share his view about QM

I don't see that in this particular article (which is not to say it isn't there in other articles Carroll has written). In this article, he is simply pointing out that QM is the only physical theory we have ever had that does not have a single generally accepted interpretation. Not believing the MWI is fine (I'm not a fan of it myself), but that just means you have to find some other interpretation that works, and nobody has done that; every interpretation of QM has issues that nobody has figured out how to resolve.

Local cooperatives can form networks which operate similar to a conglomerate business, with the network helping to bring in business and direct it to participating coops, or even form supply chains where local coops are providing goods and services to each other.

This allows the complex efficiencies of a capitalist corporation, but allows the people doing the work to retain direct control over their local workplaces and not be beholden to investors.

Mondragon in Spain is the most famous example of this.

As such networks develop, starting a new cooperative venture may become more attractive to some entrepreneurs than a traditional startup, which in turn drives growth of the network.

> Maybe 10 years ago, we could have thought that multilateral institutions like the UN, EU, IMF, World Bank, NATO, etc could step up, now, if anything, those institutions might have more of a credibility gap than the US.

I'm skeptical. Fundamentally, the all of civilization is built on the rule of law, and the rule of law is built on enforcement.

The UN is nothing without the mailed gauntlet the US brings to the table. IMF/World Bank depends on international law, they can't enforce it.

The EU/NATO has the same problem as the UN. I suppose many of the EU countries have a functional military, but they just can't project power.

The NYT has very prominently been in ethical collapse mode for several years now. This is just another in a line of a dozen or so scandals surrounding their credibility, or rather, their no longer existent credibility. They're the biggest joke in mainstream news in the US right now and that's not an easy thing to accomplish while Fox News still exists.

There is zero chance editors and journalists at the NYT resign over this. There are probably some infamous tabloids with higher ethical standards than the NYT at this point.

"Heavily subsidized" is relative. The people being forced to pay a hefty bill every month aren't comforted by being reminded that the bill could be higher.

You're conflating college and education. That is exactly the kind of elitism that the rural poor interpret as a personal attack. I know you don't mean it as such, and I know most people who say similar things as you're saying similarly don't mean it that way, but that's how it's received.* When I talk about empathy, that is what I mean - understanding others' perspectives and feelings.

And no, "free" college does not help the working class, though it may help their children if they're lucky enough to benefit from the limited upward mobility in this country. There is a baseline number of jobs in the trades and service industries that need to be filled, they don't require a college degree, and for the people going into those jobs, getting a "free" college degree will only incur opportunity costs and additional taxes.

* In understanding this anger, it's useful to understand the effect of childhood poverty on stress response.
