As unlikely as it may seem at first I lean towards the more sinister explanation. Why were almost half these bodies children. Wouldn't it have been more difficult to obtain child cadavers than adult ones. And I wonder how child cadavers would have benefitted Hewsons research. In fact how would anything to do with Hewsons research, focused primarily on blood, have benefitted from cadavers

> So long as private prisons have a say in when a prisoner is released there is conflict of interest.

I agree. This would work best if the prison had no influence on the parole board's decision. That way, the only way to get people out of prison faster is to actually rehabilitate them and encourage good behavior.

> Prosecuting someone for breaking into your network and using it for illegal activities is attacking them?

It depends on where you draw the boundaries between "yours" and "ours." My family can walk into my closet. A stranger can't. From the perspective of most of the MIT community, Aaron didn't break into the MIT network. He had both legal and moral access to use it, and he did that like many other community members. People plug things into MIT network jacks all the time. I did that too. I never hid that I did that, and no one thought I was breaking, stealing, or doing anything else wrong. I saw others do likewise. It's how the place worked at the time.

He did bypass protections on JSTOR's systems. If someone had grounds to press charges, it was JSTOR, not MIT.

> Every time I see someone use the word evil in a debate, I just ignore everything else they say, because there's no rationalizing with emotions. "Evilness" is subjective, which is why we have laws. I tend to stick to the laws and not demonize people for doing things that were according to it, since if it were truly evil the people would at least demand the law be changed.

That's a very culturally narrow point of view. It places you as being mostly likely of either of Western European descent or Japanese, but there are a few more cultures which define morality in terms of following the law. I think this is the point at which you check out from the conversation -- most monocultural people get very uncomfortable with foreign things, but:

That worldview completely breaks down when Hitler makes it a crime to kill Jews, you have BLM protests in the US, or democracy protests in Honk Kong. It breaks down in more subtle ways across the board.

And yes, people did push for change. Aaron's Law was almost passed, but ultimately, it was blocked by Oracle. Oracle is a pretty evil corporation too, although for the most part, it does a good job following the laws. That's your queue to check out, I guess.

But the point is that the laws are at least as subjective and arbitrary as people's cultural biases about what constitutes good and bad. If you want more rational opinions of good versus evil, you can start with utilitarianism and other philosophies of morality.

A good alternative to Python is OCaml. It can be both interpreted with a bytecode, but also compiled natively. With the Multicore OCaml coming[1], along with Domains and algebraic effects, it can be a viable alternative to many cases where Python currently is. Moreover, it offers a strict but flexible typing.

That’s a warm and fuzzy anecdote.

You’re right it’s not private prisons per se.

It’s the private ownership model that we’ve seen abused again and again.

This is one of those situations where the warm fuzzy anecdote is overpowered by evidence that scaled the model is rife for abuse.

At scale, yeah a dozen voting fraud stories here, and there. But mathematically we can show that it’s largely been working . Whether the candidates we get are “ours”, gerrymandering, and gaming the electoral college are aside from the fact the math on Election Day has largely worked out as one would hope.

The same is not true given a macro view of private prisons. Profits are going up, so is over crowding, incarceration rates, the result is racially and financially biased, we get more uptight with offenses to fill beds (Google it, it’s not rocket science, there’s history of bias), and it feeds a cottage industry of work that’s essentially reiterating daily to workers at these places we should just treat each other like animals. Go home, have your light beer, and watch news, that’s a good boy. Come back tomorrow.

Note too how “profit is up” “inequality is up” are more of those types of math results. They say something in numbers entirely without considering how that acts as a forcing function on the populace. We’ll just paper over it with rhetoric about protecting individuality and how yours matters most, and forget about how our culture literally is profiting from taking it away from others that need not be in that position

Some mathematicians have suggested upward of 25% of inmates may be innocent because of inequities in the justice system

Private prisons are a big bright mathy spot that shows clearly those inequities.
Interesting read! It took me a bit longer to get through that S1 than you though. A few points I'd love to discuss

> to become more efficient versus than competitors and ultimately lower loss ratios

I didn't see them explicitly mention their focus on reducing LR for their business model. I read the LR data as a metric to prove their sustainability.

However, I explicitly saw them mention that they want to generate consistent profits, with a reduced focus on pricing/claims, by just taking a fee. Their utilization of ML AI is focused on the UI

> Thus the strategy of lowering their revenue, as ceded revenue to reinsurers doesn’t contribute to GAAP revenue

> Type names after variable or before? When you think about declaring a variable, do you think about its type of name first? I can't imagine you do the latter because "Hmm, I need an array of doubles to represent my tensor" is double[][] tensor; and not tensor: double[][].

You can just as equally think of it as, "I need my tensor to be an array of doubles".

That works much more cleanly with type inference, because the type is more of an annotation, and you can drop it without adding the boilerplate word "auto".

Highest homeless per capita = Democrat states

Highest unemployment rating = Democrat states

Highest taxes = Democrat states

Lowest literacy rates = Democrat states

Lowest two parent homes = Democrat states

How is that?

Not that I think it will ever replace CS, but I think you can side-load Pavlov onto a Quest, and that's not necessarily a high cost of entry depending on what you compare it to. For a casual player, that's probably a lot of money. For people more serious about gaming, that might be equivalent to a few optional upgrades to their mouse and keyboard.

Interesting to me is that it opens up some interesting competitive options, where you could ensure people are all on equivalent equipment, if for example you have a Quest tournament.

He was brought in to try to modernize Intel's processor design process. To bring it into the 21st century. AMD and Apple (places where he'd been before) use a lot more design automation and thus are able to produce much more per engineer than Intel. Intel tends to throw more bodies at the problem which doesn't scale well. From what I've heard from people there he ran into too much institutional inertia and outright pushback. If Keller couldn't do it then Intel is just going to remain stuck.
Signals are not dependent on concurrency. And you don't need multiple processes to implement a state machine.

I remember when Wikipedia first started cracking-down on “Trivia” sections. And yet sites like Everything2 still died.

Additionally, they usually contract with the government for a minimum occupancy, where the government pays the cost if they can't fill up enough beds.

Current contractual incentives on both sides of the prison company / government relationship are too perverse.

I hear this sort of thing a lot, but far more often than not it is from the point of view of "someone I know", "a mate a <company x>", or "this thing I read on The Register". I'm sure it really happens, just not nearly as often as people seem to think and/or suggest.

I've actually experienced it twice, but neither case had anything to do with unions.

One was officially a Health and safety matter (if you'd not been on the manually handling course you should not be moving heave expensive bits of equipment around) though I suspect it was really more of an insurance matter (only the relevant people should be moving the expensive equipment, or accidental damages won't be covered). Commercial arse-shielding, no unions involved.

The other was again commercial: in an outsourced IT arrangement where all equipment moves had to be done by someone on the outsourced team. This of course carried a charge for time, but if it wasn't done that way the contract said the charge could still be made with additional charges for the extra paperwork. Again, a purely commercial matter, no unions present affecting the matter in either company.
There is no broad support for unions not because of the bogeyman arguments your co-workers were raising but because for most US based software developers there is no acute problem they feel that unions would solve because almost all of us are doing pretty well. On the other hand no single developer really has that much leverage because the importance of even the best individual devs doesn't compare to an individual LeBron and/or there isn't the massive amount of money at stake that depends massively on the work of specific people. Unions for writers, actors, NBA players, etc are frequently representing for extremes of the totally destitute who are easily taken advantage of or groups of the ultra important where the Unions are essentially acting as high powered negotiators for those they represent. All very good reasons for unions, none of which is true for developers in the US right now.

I'm not saying there aren't things a union could help with, I'm just saying that for most devs, those things aren't pinching very hard. Also, you have to be realistic about the impact of unions, they are a double edged sword. Police unions aren't a straw man, they are a real example of the worst case scenario for abusive concentration of power and agendas at odds with the public good. The best examples always come with some bureaucratic overhead. So it is valid to consider the cost/benefit of unions. Again, I'm not taking a stance on what is right here, just saying unions are not as obviously a good idea in every case as you might imagine and the hesitance of your co-workers, right or wrong, is at least understandable.

Software engineering has this culture of innovation, invention, disruption, and reimplementing everything from taxis to space travel to payment systems to currency to food from scratch. Why couldn't they attempt to do the same to labor relations.

Pings are more complicated in this setup. A low ping to a server won't help too much if you have high ping to the online client itself. Are there different clients in different locations so you can select a low-ping client?

I first noticed the blue light issue when xmas led lights were put on trees around the holidays. Blue blurry things. Now my credit union has their sign in blue and I can’t read it.

10 years later I developed astigmatism in both eyes. Dark mode is really blurry in some settings.

The blue light thing, as I understand it, is where you first begin to notice astigmatism. The wavelength is shorter and a very slight astigmatism becomes more apparent.

In fairness, hypocrisy is not the exclusive realm of American politicians. All nations are a bit hypocritical in this same manner.
Specifically union power tends to be rather exclusive - competition or fragmentation over a shared niche harms them far more than even individuals or businesses. The dynamic is thus "anti-competitive" by design.

> Rust is a different language and you'll spend a lot time trying to transfer C++isms over until you realize writing effective Rust is not like writing effective C++ and you go through a process of unlearning

Ding ding ding! However I do think that the combination of syntax with the brand new concepts just adds that extra layer of complexity. A similar thing is Optionals in Swift -- the syntax is so baked into the language that even if you really understand how optionals work, the syntactic sugar keeps piling up in different situations. (i.e., first the ? operator, then implicitly unwrapped optionals, then if lets, guards, guard lets...)

I don't think that lowering friction is a great thing. A certain amount of easy-to-overcome exclusiveness helps keep a community vibrant.

When I was a kid I heard about a group of hippies that would have parties deep into the desert, far from roads or civilization. They had a "list", and if you were on it you'd get invited to the parties. Long story short, I figured out how to get on the list and one of the coolest things about those parties was how much effort everyone who attended went through to get there, both in however they managed to get invited and how much of a potential ordeal the journey was just to show up. The friends I made there put me on my current life course and now I'm surrounded by great people and a good tribe, which is really hard to find once you finish university. All because I put in the effort to get on the list and attend.

Sure, not making things super easy creates slightly less inclusive communities and they are definitely smaller, but they're longer lasting, have some shared plight to bond around, and are generally of much higher quality. Allowing any old yokel easy access kills community because there are too many tourists

Agree, I didn't mention this in the post but I've become a big fan of intermittent fasting, which is a fancy way of saying "skip breakfast". I only eat from 12-8pm and most days from 12-6pm. I also found that even if I wake up a bit hungry my morning coffee suppresses my appetite and I rarely struggle to get to lunch. A hard threshold on 8pm also avoids most of the unhealthy snacking that tends to happen in late hours. I find that as the body winds down for the day and is a bit more tired my defenses and motivation are down a bit and I feel tempted by snacks. With IF it's easy to blanket reject such ideas from my brain because I'm outside of my window. There is also a slight element to which the body "gets used to" the feeding schedule, and doesn't bother you as much outside of it with snacking ideas.
