It looks like that lawsuit is alleging that prisoners only making $1-4 a day is slave labor when to my knowledge that's common in almost all prisons in the US.

I believe buybacks have the same long term capital gain consequences as dividends, currently. The party who sells stock at a profit will pay tax, it is not tax free.

My guess would be that ADHD diagnoses in children would be associated with (legal) drug-seeking behavior in parents.

Serious classic autism, on the other hand, is not affected by any sort of physician-seeking behavior.

Evolution depends on the competitive aspect of genetic groups as a means of specification. You can say resisting specification is somehow a morally superior position, but really, it is just a sentimental one. Specification will happen regardless and merging will also happen. When there is enough competition for resources, usually only one species wins out. Being apathetic about becoming a dead branch in the tree of evolution is probably going to have that exact outcome.

Maybe; but it’s an educated one. People who see a distinction are operating on outdated and sexist sensibilities rather than tackling the anatomical differences behind the distinction.

What if the girl is masculine and is flat chested and has short hair, is that then ok? Or what if a man has gynecomastia, should his nipples then be covered?

Literally the only reasons people make a distinction is because they’re taught it’s different; but it isn’t.

This seems to be one of the ideas that just comes up again and again in the Java community. While it has its uses, it comes with a free downsides. The biggest is that debugging becomes very difficult, especially as the code becomes complex. Imagine building it a framework with a subtle is bug and your newest junior engineer struggling with it.
There are very few actual conservatives these days. You have religious fanatics and reactionaries focused on maximizing resource extraction.

Yea, I've been curious about that with vertical farming. It's way less cost efficient but I'm wondering which is more efficient carbon-wise. It might be worth eating the cost to reduce emissions.
I really do want to hear what your opinion on this is but I'm having trouble following. I am of the opinion that letting facebook fact-check anything, let alone political speech, inherently lets them (or well a random low paid "fact-checker" reviewing ads somewhere) control what a huge mass of people see. Isn't that a ton of power?

The reason it's difficult to differentiate is because currently media backlash is actually the only accountability any of these tech companies have for doing the right thing. For example, there's basically no government regulation for making sure companies encrypt your passwords properly; the only incentive to do so is because the media would make a joke out of the company if unencrypted passwords were ever leaked.

So you can ban advertisements from political organizations, but if a third-party or the Russians start running misinformation ads on climate change and pro-life, the media won't exactly recognize it as a "non political advertisement" and leave off.

In the election of 2016, most of the misinformation was not directly initiated by the political candidates. Your suggestion wouldn't affect any of the misinformation spread in 2016.

There are 2 choices under the law for asylum claims. Either let them go within the country until their court date (hoping they show up) or detain them.

The former did not work and was infamous as the "catch and release" policy. Detainment could work in principal but the overflow of the system has caused long wait times, overcrowded facilities and not enough staff to handle the cases. If you suddenly switched back to catch and release we would most likely have a greater influx of people coming in who have no valid claim to asylum and would not show up to their court date. It's a shitty problem all around.

And pretending that an overcrowded detention system is a concentration camp is disingenuous at best. If that was the case then California's prison system has been a network of concentration camps for years as they have dealt with constant overcrowding and problems.

Yes, he tried and push theology to a perfect interpretation, but never took the next step of abandoning it in the way Nietzsche did. "God is dead...and we killed him" to paraphrase the madman.

While Nietzsche lived later and embraced the nihilism that Kierkegaard couldn't bring himself to acknowledge, he rejected any notion of Darwinian influence in his writing.
Prior world war II the illegal immigration from Mexico was a genuine issue for America. DO you want to know how they stopped illegal immigration cold? They simply fined any business or employer who employed them severely. The problem quickly resolved itself without having to lock people up.

It is entirely possible to curtail the number of people coming here once there is NO work or services for them. It works, and we know it works, because we have done it before.

No one wants to "solve it" because our entire food supply and production (meat packing to local restaurants) is powered by illegal immigrants. Lawn care, construction, plenty of industries run on cheap (illegal) immigrant labor.
The people who implement ServiceNow are usually, to put it mildly, idiots. It's usually combined with a religious conversion to some spin of ITIL, which is almost always by default implemented to facilitate a lowest common denominator operational outsourcing engagement.

The nasty forms are always a result of internal politics and bad governance. One client that I worked with had 8 different ways to represent a physical location. Each operational director in the organization had a unique system, and nobody mapped them.

If you put a real development team on the platform and the leadership gets it, it's an amazing tool.

This isn't a remix. A remix should desire to completely change the creative expression of the original into a new creative expression. The edits seek to preserve as much of the creative expression as possible (as much as that does not cross over certain fixed (hence unoriginal) rules). I don't think a reasonable person will think that this is transformative.

I don't have the time to look up a source at the moment, but Trump changed policy to detain immigrants until their hearing rather than releasing them. He's also keeping them in custody longer in order to force them through court proceedings rather than just deporting them.

The system was already desperately in need of resources before Trump added this strain. We could go back to an Obama-era level of need, but instead we've chosen to ramp up the problem and force this outcome.

In Rust this is achieved using `if let` for anything that uses `Result` and `Drop` (it's kinda neat how a few orthogonal features fit nicely together like that):

if let Ok(f) = File::open(filename) {
f.read();
// drop(f) automatic here
}

But Rust's move semantics give you extra flexibility, because you don't have to close it if you don't want to.

let keep = None;
if let Ok(f) = File::open(filename) {
f.read();
if random() {
keep = Some(f);
}
}
// the file *may* be usable beyond the first scope,
// and it's still dropped correctly.

Values aren't dropped simply at the end of their initial scope (as in `with` or on-stack RAII), but after their last use, and language semantics allow the compiler to track globally where the last use is.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_concentration_and_inte...

From the article:

> In 2019, many experts, including Andrea Pitzer, the author of One Long Night: A Global History of Concentration Camps, have acknowledged the designation of the detention centers as "concentration camps" [227] [228] particularly given that the centers, previously cited by Texas officials for more than 150 health violations [229] and reported deaths in custody,[230] reflect a record typical of the history of deliberate substandard healthcare and nutrition in concentration camps.[231] Though some organizations have tried to resist the "concentration camp" label for these facilities, [232] [233] hundreds of Holocaust and genocide scholars rejected this resistance via an open letter addressed to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. [234]
I mean, if anyone should have some stake in the definition, it should probably be Holocaust survivors. Which is one of the reasons (to pop context back to the up-thread post) I find the claim the comparison cheapens the memory of the Holocaust somewhat worthy of skepticism.

There is nothing inherently wrong with serving ICE. You might not like it, but many of your compatriots do.

I don't like what they do at all, I think it's reprehensible, backwards, and purely uncivilised. But people you utterly hate have friends too, and they see something different than you do, and we do not have a singular moral world-view.

This situation with ICE should totally change, but that change is a function of your vote, not a function of protesting against Gitlab.

I very strongly argue that there should never be a single perspective on morality, in the way that these posts suggest there should.

> Most people in the current population do not feature traits to overcome birth control. There is a subset of the population which does have the needed traits.

This seems like quite a stretch: humans aren’t fruit flies, and something as complicated as reproduction is not a simple trait which overrides socialization and intelligence.

This is especially true when you look at why people aren’t having as many kids as previous generations: the quality of life impacts are significant and people are willing to go to considerable lengths to reduce them. If you have genes which make you extra horny or foil certain birth control techniques, you can switch strategies and if you don’t, your children will have a stronger incentive to do so after growing up with a cautionary example.

You can’t meaningfully reason about that complicated situation as if it were something like moth coloration.

Not that their being smart, their ethnicity, nor their being alive or dead has any relevance to the content of their speech.

> That's just the financial side of things. They'd still be tampering with the original piece of content, which most likely isn't what the artist would've wanted.

It's culturally important that people are allowed to transform creative works in ways that the author/artist didn't intend or want. Hence parody is allowed. If I were to redact parts of a book I bought in a store and resell that book, it would be legal. It can also even be ethical.

The problem with CleanFlicks is that they made their own DVD copy to contain copied, edited video of the original film. It's a copy, and hence infringes copyright.
Plus, it's the normal shitty SaaS model for something that isn't enterprisey enough. So it's easy pickings for budget cuts.

> DO you want to know how they stopped illegal immigration cold? They simply fined any business or employer who employed them severely. The problem quickly resolved itself without having to lock people up.

I'd be completely in favor of that. Especially in the recent case where ICE raided a factory in the south owned by the Koch brothers. We need congress to act on that though as AFAIK there is not a current framework to prosecute businesses for it.

> No one wants to "solve it" because our entire food supply and production (meat packing to local restaurants) is powered by illegal immigrants. Lawn care, construction, plenty of industries run on cheap (illegal) immigrant labor.

I agree. Once we stop the illegal flow we could start offering more work visas and other things to the people already here and newcomers. But without stopping the flow the people doing it the legal (hard) way are now competing against the illegal migrants leaving little incentive to do it right.
I started doing metta a few years ago when I was having a rough time. It was the one thing that made me feel better every single time.

The basic instructions for are to say (or think),

“May all beings be happy.

May all beings be healthy.

May all beings be safe.

May all beings be peaceful.

May all beings be free from suffering.”

In this way you intentionally cultivate a peaceful, benevolent state of mind. I started doing this for entirely selfish reasons—it made me feel better! But doing this regularly for a few months I noticed an undercurrent of deep peace developing in me.

You can replace “all beings” with “I”, loved ones, or people you are experiencing difficulty with. You start with whichever person feels easiest to appreciate and work your way up, so to speak :)

> Quitting on moral grounds is a luxury in the scope of human history

So what? Freedom of speech is a luxury in the scope of human history as well.

Moreover, someone is making these choices. If it's within your power to have an effect on the choice, and one choice is more moral in your estimation, you're practically obliged to act, even if other people don't have that power.
Fair enough. If they want political advertising on Facebook to stop just ban the practice of political advertising.

I don't know why we expect any company to self regulate when an action hurts its interests.
Interesting take, and the phenomenon is real. One way to mitigate the "drift" is to have zero tolerance for deviation from procedure, but to also have a formal and rapid system for updating procedures, including explicitly temporary measures.
I agree it's a luxury, and I'm happy people at github can do it. I don't think it _should_ be a luxury. They are quitting because they have a direct relationship they feel is immoral. If people aren't supposed to take stands what they can work for, you're advocating for the vast majority of the population (ie. ~non CEOS) having no moral agency in the place where they spend a huge fraction of their lives.

Some people with large families do so for religious reasons. (Not everyone, obviously.)

There is evidence that there are certain genes which promote religiosity. They don't guarantee it – somewhere out there, there is probably an atheist with lots of religiosity promoting genes, and a devout believer with none of them – but they do make religious belief more likely.

People who have large families for religious reasons will pass on both their religious beliefs to their children, and also in many cases their genetic predispositions to greater religiosity. Of course, there is no guarantee that the child will stay in the parent's religion, but so long as the retention rate is decent (say >= 70%) the religious belief (and the genetic predisposition to adopt it) will be spread widely through the population.

Even though organised religion isn't looking very healthy at the moment (at least in developed countries), this is reason to believe that its long-term prospects are actually quite bright.
Maybe not that specifically, but there is growing evidence that acetaminophen has pretty serious effects on adult brain function.

> but Trump changed policy to detain immigrants until their hearing rather than releasing them.

Yes because releasing them on their own recognizance meant releasing them into the country hoping they would show up to their court date. Many did not because they knew they would get deported. This was known under Obama as "catch and release" and was highly controversial.

Doing this with the current influx of invalid asylum claims would lead to an even larger influx of invalid claims as it would be an easy way to enter the country and ICE / the court system would not be able to keep up.
