That's human nature. As soon as something beneficial to few and detrimental to others is banned, those who benefit seek to find other ways to continue benefitting, again to the detriment of others.

This doesn't mean we shouldn't continue trying to stop them.

And we stop them through laws.

I'm not seeing any issues here yet with S3 images/website buckets stored in eu-west-1 and served by CloudFront.

You're right that there's definitely some internal coupling though:

It sounds like what you are describing are Ricardian Contracts. [0] Also worth viewing is this talk by Clay Shirkey on technology tools for Government [1].

Ultimately, I don't see law being automated. As others have pointed out, most cases that go to court are all about interpretation and establishment of the circumstances (did events X, Y and Z happen), interpretation of the law (does law F mean that event X was illegal, and is event Y a mitigator or irrelevant?) and, more elusively, impact (how serious was X?).

What this doesn't mean, though, is that there aren't tools that can't be used in the creation and management of law. If we have a simple dependency tree of documents and sources, we can trigger a review of downstream documents if a document is changed. We can statically check some aspects of the document, like a Legal IDE that would present itself more like an advanced spellcheck. Meta rules can ensure consistency, add in support for in-line reading (include a definition next to a paragraph even though it is defined elsewhere).

Probably the closes thing you'll get to an 'automated' system would be for the 'process' that is currently done by administrators to be partly or fully automated. When charges are brought, a court date is automatically booked. When a judgement is made, a court report is generated, prison alerted etc etc.

Basically, everything that people in tech think should be automated, shouldn't be, and all the things technology people think shouldn't exist should be automated.

It's a good point about other forms of transmission, but I think the air alone is an interesting question.

What would be the limiting factor on how far it can spread? Do the particles deactivate after a while in the air? Or is it that the concentration is not high enough? Latter case, wind patterns would matter a lot.

Surely, when authorities talk about diseases being able to spread x many feet, it ignores many factors and is meant to be an actionable simplification that works in a statistical sense.
I'm American and Hispanic and been to leipzig and the surrounding areas quite often since my best friend lives there. I've partied and bbq'd in the various Dorfs surrounding as well and have never remotely encountered such a thing.
For me it's not about trying to nail down sentience but rather a basic heuristic about the creature's ability to feel pain. If I cut it or take its babies and it produces a response that indicates it doesn't like that, then I don't eat it. Fruits easily pass this test because the plant encourages us to take them (although I recognize that we've gamed that system and it's not like we're hunter gatherers anymore accidentally spreading seeds for the plant's benefit). Vegetables less so, but the response is nowhere near as visible as mammals and birds and fish and even bees. I recognize that pain is also a squishy, debatable concept but personally this is a situation where I don't think we'll have a rigorous intellectual framework in our lifetime so we just have to trust our intuitions; which is why there's so much disagreement (your intuition might be the opposite of mine).

I'll also mention however that I'm not solely vegan for ethical purposes so my conviction in veganism doesn't hinge on being perfect here. When I realized the health, environmental, and spiritual benefits of veganism, in addition to the ethical angle, it was a pretty easy decision to make.

But to your point, yes I do think we (everyone, not just vegans) are biased towards bigger creatures that we can see with the naked eye.
> By the time it got big in rural areas, we'd gotten a lot better at dealing with it.

Or by the time it hit rural areas, we'd also gotten better at testing for it. Perhaps the IFR is the same across both demographics, but better testing means a higher proportion of cases were detected later in the pandemic.
Ridiculous that you're downvoted. There are a lot of people posting here who haven't worked on memory management subsystems.

GC vs RC is not a trivial comparison to make, but overall there are good reasons new systems hardly use RC (Objective-C dating back to the 90s isn't new). Where RC can help is where you have a massive performance cliff on page access, i.e. if you're swapped to disk. Then GC is terrible because it'll try and page huge sections of the heap at once where as RC is way more minimal in what it touches.

But in most other scenarios GC will win a straight up fight with an RC based system, especially when multi-threading gets involved. RC programs just spend huge amounts of time atomically incrementing and decrementing things, and rummaging through the heap structures, whereas the GC app is flying along in the L1 cache and allocations are just incrementing a pointer in a register. The work of cleaning up is meanwhile punted to those spare cores you probably aren't using anyway (on desktop/mobile). It's tough to beat that by hand with RC, again, unless you start hitting swap.

If M1 is faster at memory ops than x86 it's because they massively increased memory bandwidth. In fact I'd go as far as saying the CPU design is probably not responsible for most of the performance increase users are seeing. Memory bandwidth is the bottleneck for a lot of desktop tasks. If M1 core is say 10% faster than x86 but you have more of them and memory bandwidth is really 3x-4x larger, and the core can keep far more memory ops in flight simultaneously, that'll explain the difference all by itself.

Looking over the shoulder at a 64-core Threadripper with 256GB of ECC RAM, 3090FE, Titan RTX and Radeon VII, yeah right. Some of us do Hackintoshing because we want more dope specs than what Apple offers and customizability that comes with PC hardware.

It's the whole abortion vs infanticide debate.

People almost universally feel that infanticide is wrong.

Abortion for whatever reason is easier for people to stomach.

Basically it's easier for people to feel good about preventing an embryo from turning into a cute little baby than it is for them to immediately kill that cute little baby once it's born.
I think you'll find people with actual left wing philosophies are very anti-censorship. Ask any Bernie Sanders fan how fairly they were treated on Twitter, MSM...

The problem is that neo-liberals have co-opted the "progressive" moniker and are the driving force behind censorship and corporate control. It's become a core tenant of neo-liberalism, while those on the left and the right have their voices removed via centralization.
Biden Didn't Steal the Election from Trump
I think this is a terrible attitude. We can improve political issues and we do it by defending our opinions in the public sphere, which has the power to change others' opinions. If you don't work to present your ideas to the world in the best possible light then you will just allow other, weaker ideas to become more convincing in comparison, thus doing a disservice to anyone who could have been convinced otherwise.

I am sorry that politics is tiring but I think that is just a reality of politics being a manifestation of natural forces. The natural world is competitive, it's competitive on the cellular level, the food chain is competitive, and human societies are competitive too. Looking the other way doesn't change the reality, it just guarantees that the opinions of others will become more significant to the world than your own. Just like how our cells compete to form the best possible body, I think we are obligated to compete with our ideas to form the best possible society.

My user name wasn't clearly an ad. I use that same username on, for instance, the Coral City webcam chat. I remember one person on the subreddit getting an "aha" as s/he was asking something and I wouldn't direct him to my site, but I said this information was available on the web.

I tried very hard to not be spammy. I always offered information.

I think I at least deserved the opportunity to discuss it.

The mods don't receive benefit directly from the ads, but I bet somebody at Conde Nast (or whoever owns them now) cares.
What does 70 year old food have to do with it? Just go to any seed store or seed bank and you will find hundreds if not thousands (or tens of thousands) of varieties of everyday fruits and vegetables that you will not be able to find on store shelves. It's not because they're too old, it's because they're not economically viable at industrial scale. Their aesthetics are unappealing to consumers, they spoil too fast off the vine, they bruise too easily in transport, their shapes and textures are harder to machines to work with, and so on.

The age of the variety is a red herring, it's the industrialization of farming that's important. Our access to food has improved significantly, but anyone with a small garden and some seeds from an online shop knows that the "quality" of everything from modern tomatoes to berries is suspect.

You got it. Definitely sticky.

I preferred to have this project be a little crappy on purpose. Most marketing projects are so shiny and perfect. This one is literally a dumpster outside. Warts and all.

I made the ramp steeper this morning and it seems to help.
There are a lot of single issue voters out there who will happily vote for someone who promises to screw them over financially as long as they are for their pet issue.

More recently, we are seeing the rise of the Zero Issue Voters who don’t care about any particular issue at all. It’s purely a team sport. They love their team, love their candidates and they just want to “own the other side”.
The End of the Arecibo Observatory
It's a difficult problem to crack. My current line of thinking is that we need to improve critical-thinking amongst the population. People with critical thinking will question the things they hear and read, and with an unfiltered source of information (E.g. the Internet) will be able to determin fact from fiction.

I used to think they we should censor bad information (E.g. 5G causes COVID), but that's just not going to work in the modern era.
I doubt the pendulum will swing back before significant damage is done. We always swing to extremes, and it's reflected in public policy. Once it gets into that phase the damage is extensive and hard to undo.
It's not that hard, and native English speakers are just as bad at it as non-native speakers. The problem isn't with less than perfect English language skills, it's about just taking some care to ensure it reads nice by using appropriate interpunction, paragraphs, is reasonably comprehensive, doesn't just lazily tack on "oh, this too" lines at the end instead of rewriting the paragraph, and things like that.
Looking at the example, my immediate reaction was that the main advantage would be the `anything_but` method, relieving me from the cumbersome construction of stuff like this:

(?:[^t]|t(?:[^r]|r(?:[^u]|u(?:[^m]|m[^p]))))

What a time-saver it would be to write

anything_but("trump")

Except, then you look at the source code and see this:

public Builder anythingBut(final String pValue) {
return this.add("(?:[^" + sanitize(pValue) + "]*)");
}

Sad face :(
Thanks! I'm not sure why your post was dead but seeing as you're so nice to me, I vouched for it to bring it back.
I think those moments are way more important than they seem.
Do you reject the possibility that they combine the reliable information with the unreliable information to strengthen the latter? I mean, if you have logs stating that a specific Apple ID connected from a specific IP address at a specific time, and they know the identity tied to that Apple ID, it seems reasonable that it would strengthen the claim of "the user at this IP address is most likely this person" quite a bit, especially if the same IP shows up regularly with that Apple ID? I'm not saying they do this currently, but I'm just drawing attention to the fine line between privacy and security. Vigilance isn't necessarily a bad thing, as long as it's grounded in the full reality. It's always possible that one day, Apple's focus in this area may change. When it does, it helps if part of that discussion is already being had.
> better yet, they could have bombed Germany too but thats another story.

The atomic bombs were dropped in August 1945. Germany surrendered in May of 1945, before the Trinity test (first test of a nuclear device) in July!

> I'd like to point out the two bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki as retaliation for Pearl Habour.

This is far too simple - it's widely accepted that there were multiple reasons for using the bombs that do not include simple revenge. Most notable were the estimates of allied casualties to invade mainland Japan after the experience of clearing islands during the Pacific campaign.

It's also worth noting that consent to use the bombs was required and given by the British per the Quebec Agreement of 1943.

> A lot of the web is already just javascript. Looking at "appification" and throwing our arms up in the air is just a form of giving up.

Yes, this certainly /feels/ like the trend. Yet folks like Github and Youtube and Microsoft are busy building a better web that does re-center & re-emphasize the DOM, by adopting & driving WebComponents forward.

It's weird to me that there is such a sizable disconnect: that a lot of very big very large players have adopted good web technology, but that so much of the world hasn't caught on, doesn't see it, doesn't know how they'd do it themselves. The lessons, of what large scale application design look like in such an environment, have not started disseminating out. The tools are there, but visualizing how they come together to make a web app, that's still fairly mysterious. But being done at very large scales, seemingly quite effectively.

> Rather, we should find ways to ensure that whatever direction the web takes, we can keep building powerful tools to foster the creativity and agency you and I have today, and push them to the hands of the mainstream.

> My personal bias is wanting to fix healthcare by fixing its price signals, so this surprised me.

The problem is that we're very far from market signals, and "quality of the healthcare system" is not a monotonic function of market-orientation. If we were to go all the way to a fully market-oriented system, a lot of the obscene inefficiencies and horrors of the healthcare system would be addressed. There may even be people by whose chosen measure, our healthcare system functions better than it does today. But we'd have new horrors around access that we as a society have chosen not to accept, which means we're in this grotesque inefficient middle-ground where we have neither the advantages of a centralized system nor the advantages of a system where market signals aren't choked off at every turn. It's completely plausible that we're at the part of the curve where more centralization moves us up the U-shaped curve instead of down
> The evidence is that immigrants generate positive net tax benefits.

Immigrants as a whole being a net positive might be clear, but the demographics most commonly under debate are things like "refugees" or "illegal immigrants" or "people seeking asylum at the US-Mexico border". Now, it's possible that those groups are still a (financial) net positive, but I'd be a lot less confident in that than "doctors" or "people with a degree".

This also doesn't really address the issue of "what impact does immigration have on US wage earners". An immigrant doctor or programmer might be clearly beneficial financially and to the country as a whole, but the doctors and programmers they're competing with might not be quite so happy. And while those demographics can "take it" so to speak, unskilled laborers facing the same competition are in a bit tougher of a spot.
HTTP is specified in the RFC. Only the developer certificate is checked. OCSP is also used by web browsers to check the revocation status of certificates used for HTTPS connections. Apple leveraged OCSP for its Gatekeeper functionality. This is not the same thing as notarization, which is checked over HTTPS.

Perhaps you should learn about OCSP before complaining about its use of HTTP.

A declarative description of what my machine should do with content I do not control is pretty important and gives important safety guarantees. We designed CSS, for example, to have a layouting algorithm that is limited in terms of backtracking (or disallows it) and is terminating.

I wouldn't want my Browser to execute any layouting algorithm somebody sends to me.

The web has been successful because it was declarative. And most avenues where imperative solutions were necessary, were later fixed with declarative extensions.

Once you're at the "just send me assembly"-level, every non-trivial property of the page is undecidable. And the declarative description of a website can be used by different renderers to generate something the user wants to see.

Implementing such a proposal based on a turing-complete imperative language would basically mean the end of the open web.
