That kind of bureaucracy predates agile, but it may have increased in some places as people try to grapple with the chaos of endless sprint cycles and continuous change. i.e. trying to figure how to manage the madness. But, I don't see how your shop can be agile with that level of bureaucracy?

Anyway, I think my comments on CI/CD, Git, etc are being misconstrued. I'm not saying they don't have value. I'm saying they are frequently part of an ethos that leads to developer burnout.

For instance, your CI/CID process is one you must "appease", along with the rest of the bureaucracy. It may not feel as odious (and may even seem a relief, relatively speaking), but it contributes to your total load.

And, Git is fine. In fact, perhaps even perfect for the current culture (in philosophy, if not always in execution). Each developer has his/her own repo, you can work offline, you merge instead of locking check-outs, etc. But, that's the trick: it feels perfect because it allows you to work in the always-on philosophy of agile. Its popularity sprang up because this world of high burn-out, constant productivity demands it.

So, we can see the utility of these things and even appreciate them. But, the model they enable and expectations they create can still ultimately lead devs to burnout.

The normal reaction to being shamed is defiance.

We don't even have to think what we're doing isn't bad. It's enough if we think it's not as bad as it's being made out to be.

Also, just about everyone in the English-speaking world is sick of PETA's sanctimonious shenanigans. It's a bad look which rubs off on any group whose tactics rhyme with PETA's.
I don't understand why the goal should be 0 animals killed.

I personally don't feel shame in eating animals bread to be eaten. Having had grandparents practicing subsistence farming, also being born in Eastern Europe during communism and thus suffering from food shortages, from a young age I've seen chickens, pigs and lambs being slaughtered. Not a big deal, and in an environment in which food is in short supply, killing an animal for food is a reason for celebration.

People say that we've been desensitized due to being disconnected from our food source. But I think that's backwards. You rarely see vegans among subsistence farmers. Even when meat is a luxury, eggs and dairy are staple foods.

Unless there's a massive economic incentive for stopping meat production, no country will ever get "on board" with not eating meat.

The CO2 emissions story is the only argument that has any legs. But if you think about it, it's an argument for efficiency and for taxing CO2 emissions, with plenty of low hanging fruits, e.g. we should waste less food, prefer chickens and pigs over ruminants, etc.

---

Note I'm actually a vegan 3 days per week out of 7 and I prefer to go through all periods of religious fasting, which is basically hard core veganism (no traces of animal products are acceptable) before the big holidays, e.g. Lent (I'm not religious, I just like the practice).

Meat is the most efficient protein source, per calorie, with a complete profile and unfortunately there's no equivalent unless you start taking protein extracts.

Otherwise a vegan diet is a diet in which you have to eat a lot of legumes every day (lentils, kidney beans, soy) for getting 60-80 grams of protein, an inadequate level if you're looking to maintain or build muscle and going over that is hard for me without being in a caloric surplus. Also, during vegan fasting periods I take B12, Calcium supplements and I strive to eat a varied diet.

My point is, from first hand experience, a healthy diet is pretty challenging and expensive, with or without meat and for poorer populations life is hard enough as it is.

> In Canada, the single payer system is Provincial, and came about exactly like this: as a so-called "patchwork". Saskatchewan was the first Province to offer single payer in 1947, followed by Alberta in 1951, etc. By 1961, all Provinces had some form of a single payer healthcare system.

I was not aware of this example. You make some very good points, especially re: deadlock at the federal level.

However I do wonder if the way tax revenues are distributed in the United States makes this a non-starter.

For example, maybe California can afford it with 10% state tax rates. But what about states with 0% tax rates?

Meanwhile a large bulk of your tax dollars is going to a single payer federal heathcare system already (medicare & medicaid).

It seems the current structure of the US would lend itself more an implementation of single payer at the federal level, via an expansion of our existing single payer systems.

I don't think this is true. I think many people who eat meat do it because they enjoy it and in most cultures, eating meat is the default thing to do; most don't actually approve of factory farming conditions. If the pictures actually depicted animals in the conditions they were raised (humanely raised meat could depict something more humane than something factory-farmed on the packaging), many people would try to eat more humanely raised meats.

There will of course be people who don't care, and people who revel in the pictures, and people that lobby to have them removed, but overall I think those groups would be in the minority. Many people would slowly (and unconsciously) improve their consumption habits, in the same way that people didn't really notice that the tides turned on issues like gay marriage and marijuana consumption.

Part of the knee-jerk antagonism by people who eat meat to posts like this one is that most vocal vegetarians/animal activists are absolutists: eg there is no desirable path forward for most Animal Liberationists where a greater percentage of animals are raised humanely but people keep eating meat. As is often the case, everyone could benefit from agreeing to a compromise where we improve animal farming conditions but don't vilify people who choose to continue eating meat.

Another element here is that eating meat is integral to many cuisines and is extremely culturally important to most people - stating that your goal is to remove it wholesale feels like a direct attack. Claiming that people who enjoy eating meat are your adversaries seems like exactly the wrong thing to do. It's as unhelpful as saying that everyone who owns a car is contributing to climate change is therefore the enemy of environmentalism.

Because it's a silly vegan propaganda page by wealthy privileged virtue signaling crowd without any grasp on reality.

Countless quadrillions of animals are killed every year in nature. Countless billions of animals are killed every year to clear land and protect vegetation from insects, worms, rodents, etc. Countless billions of animals are killed to build homes that these privileged people live in.

Not to mention the countless billions of animals killed by pet cats and countless billions of animals killed to feed our pets ( cats, dogs, snakes, etc ).

"This is the opposite of what is true. When you have no rights and no constitution, the people who have control will use that control to enrich themselves at the expense of everyone else."

This was my point. The only reason the USSR is better 'prepared' for anything is because they can make choices that countries like the US can't, at the expense of human lives.

"People use the USSR in WW2 as an example of where central planning led to success"

This is a good example of success in a country that doesn't care about human life.

There's some overlap, though not full equivalency. Stubs presumably fall in line with Wikipedia's editorial vision, even if they haven't been fleshed out into full entries. The entries I'm referring to are mostly ones which would run afoul of Wikipedia's notability criterion.

Going back to the brand management issue, I'd be OK with deleted articles and their history being moved to another wiki with a different URL, with a name that is not "Wikipedia". Cookies or some other mechanism could be used to manage user/session preferences so that users who want to to be redirected to this other, questionable-page wiki can be redirected when they try to access pages that don't fall in line with Wikipedia's editorial vision. I'd be fine with having huge in-your face warnings about the likely lack of quality or veracity of such entries... just as long as I can access that content.

Not sure about Scheme, but OCaml's type system is not powerful/expressive enough that (to use the given example) abstracting over type constructors is likely to ever come up. (No HKTs in OCaml.) Also, OCaml uses a naming scheme for certain things that I haven't seen used elsewhere - e.g. what OCaml calls a "Functor" is a parameterized module, not closely related to Functors in other languages that use that abstraction. I suspect this is a result of the French/English language divide in the initial development of OCaml vs all other major functional languages.
I initially hired Berkeley and MIT interns as contractors and one of them worked for us as a contractor for a year while on leave of absence. He was paid about 6700/mo. I would be envious when I myself was a sophomore to get paid this much. But he lived with his parents mostly, getting health insurance through his family as he was 20 and he got 1099s from us. Another one was paid about 7500/mo, also on 1099. This was five or six years ago. I did not have enough money to commit to an employee long term back then, although none of these interns were terminated by me- they all went on doing other things, I am in touch with most of them and they are thankful for my recommendation letters and references for Google, Amazon, etc where they are working now.

In the past, it was market that decided whether a business should exist or not, and that involved the decisions of the employees or contractors to work there. But now you are proposing a new, "fair treatment" decision process, that is extraneous to the market. Has this been successfully tried before, in any country that has become wealthy due to such business selection process?

Why not? Your comment makes it clear that industrial animal agriculture is wrong (not to mention ecologically disastrous), but then your last sentence makes a 180 out of nowhere. It feels extreme at first, but I'd like to assure you that reducing your consumption of these industries is possible (and sometimes even easy!).

But delivering the energy from those trees to consumers is harder and more expensive than for solar cells.

Also, if your desired output is electrical power, you’ll lose more energy converting your trees to electricity.

On the plus side for trees, storing the energy they stored is cheap, and can be done for centuries.

The net effect is that PV cells are more economically viable than using photosynthesis to catch solar energy (at least for now; there’s work being done on improving photosynthesis; I don’t see that beating PV soon, though, certainly not because PV cells keep improving fairly rapidly)

The rough lifespan for a factory farmed chicken, from hatching to slaughter, is under 2 months. There's no plausible scenario where the entirety of America and everyone we export chicken to stops eating chicken in the span of 2 months. As demand drops, factory farms will stop hatching and raising chickens they don't expect to be able to sell. Even if it slowed within the span of a year, there would only be about 1/6 that 50Bn unless there were 10 months of absurd over production. More likely it will be a shift over many years or decades.

OCaml functors come from Standard ML, which predates Haskell. And you can definitely use them to implement HKTs — they are comparable in expressiveness to single-parameter typeclasses.
I do. However, the process would have stuck around until it finished. It wouldn't have changed our overall RPS at all.

Arguably the same problem would exist in other languages, but at least there we would have had the option of using threads, and we could have executed multiple calls to SQS in parallel. Probably not something I'd want to do all the time, but it would be nice to have had that option in this case.

> Someone drives 40 hours for Uber one week, and then goes away for two months. How much health care do they get? Do they get cash or a week of benefits?

One week of health benefits into the common pool.

> Technically even full time W2 employees don't have to get health insurance

Huh? Your employer doesn't have to provide it. But I'm pretty sure that people being required to carry health insurance was one of the provisions of the ACA. I have to file a form with my taxes showing coverage. Has that changed?

> Ironically, if we had single payer healthcare that was funded by taxes, the entire thing would be moot.

This is misdirection.

That doesn't solve the fact that Uber and Lyft drivers are being paid below minimum wage. That ALSO needs to be fixed.

Here is where I disagree. I think Wikipedia is hurt by any low-quality articles. If I see some information on Wikipedia, there is a moderate positive signal that that information is correct. (Not as strong as a signal as I'd like, but oh well). Reducing the strength of that signal would make Wikipedia less useful.

> For example, maybe California can afford it with 10% state tax rates. But what about states with 0% tax rates?

IMO state taxes are WAY too low. Any state that wants to fund a single payer system should raise their taxes. We all just got a massive Federal tax cut in 2017, so there's a lot of slack to work with there. States that have the political will to enact a Federal single payer system likely have the political will for their Federal income tax to increase by X%. Why, then, does it matter if this X% tax increase happens at the Federal level vs the State level? The taxpayer is still out the same amount of money net-net.

Switzerland is actually a great example of what a sustainable decentralized taxation regime can look like. The Federal marginal tax rate is 9%, while the Cantonal tax rate can be anywhere from 10% to 26%, depending on the Canton[1]. This kind of a system also makes it very difficult to enact broad tax cuts, because you would have to capture every single Canton's legislature — not a scalable attack.

Sure, but while we wait years for the Federal consensus to expand this to materialize, we're better off acting NOW at the State level, and we can do this by simply passing a State level single payer system that exempts people over the age of 60. Over time, the Federal government might reduce Medicare to allow States to continue to increase coverage to old people, especially once States like California and New York support that. Medicaid is already jointly funded and wholly administered by States.
