It's not punishment. This is civil contempt, not criminal, and can persist only so long as the court is confident of the person's capability to cooperate. As the article mentions, he refuses to even execute a limited power of attorney so authorities can follow up on his claim that he turned over the coins to a Belizean trust.

In 2009 a bitter divorcee, H. Beatty Chadwick, was released after 14 years (sic!) of confinement. He was eventually released when another judge decided continued confinement was futile. https://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/12/us/12contempt.html But note that the confinement had been reviewed by other courts several times, and every time they agreed that the guy was capable of cooperating. And all it takes is a single judge to decide to end the confinement, not the original judge.

Note that these articles never give the full story, and because of that people get the impression that courts are simply relying on mere opinion and conjecture as to whether the person is capable of complying with their order. Here's one of the appellate courts decisions in the Chadwick case, https://casetext.com/case/chadwick-v-janecka, which has more details; and a subsequent SCOTUS opinion reciting the same facts, https://casetext.com/case/chadwick-v-janecka-3

Again, the point of the confinement isn't just the amount of money at stake, and it's certainly not about retribution. It's that if everybody thought they could defy court orders this way (e.g. decide that $2.5 million is worth 18 months confinement) then courts would have diminished powers to vindicate other people's rights. I understand people's fear of this kind of state-sanctioned power, but imagine how much more fearful people would be if courts were toothless and victims resorted to mafia-style coercion. The choice here isn't some anarchist utopia vs a dystopian state; it's a choice between the rule of law (which will never be perfect), and extrajudicial enforcers. This is especially true when we're talking about the kind of money that's at stake in these cases. Poor people resort to street justice all the time, for better or worse. But when millionaires start doing it, that's how you get a collapsed state. And ask anyone who lives in a collapsed state how safe they feel.
Logical arguments don't depend on credibility. If I say All men are mortal; Socrates is a man; therefore Socrates is mortal, I'm not asking you to trust me. It's a logical argument and you can defend or attack its validity based on the argument itself, not whether I have a vested interest in Socrates being mortal.

But you're not scaling it to the entire population. You're just doing it yourself. I don't see why that step has to be a part of your logic.

Robbing a bank is bad because it hurts people. It's not a very sustainable way to make money, in that (if you want money to buy food, give to charity, buy a bike) you only have to get caught once and it'll be very bad. In contrast, you don't have that risk in a normal job.

>Would you feel the same way of Bernie Madoff was better at hiding his stolen money and so he had to wait in jail longer before they started the trial while the investigators looked for it?

If they have evidence that he defrauded people then he should stand trial. If they need to find the money because it is the evidence then no he should definitely not be in jail while they go on fishing expeditions to actually see if he's truly guilty or not. You go to jail when you've been proven guilty in a court of law, not just because some people think you're a bad person. That's the road to a bad society to live in.

Granted you do have a point about him not giving them his right of attorney which looks shady but I'm clearly on the side of "It is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer"

> "Imagine how much assistance they would need if they didn't have jobs." That would be better.

Not for them or for the economy at large. It would be good for people who own capital goods, as they would spend their assistance checks on consumer goods without competing to provide them. The profit would accrue to the few who hold capital and those capitalists would have an enormous supply of reserve labor available, driving down the marginal cost of labor (so the people who did have jobs would have less bargaining power).

Actually what we have is a bunch of people who are ignorant of economics but still have opinions about how the economy should be run, and a class of politicians who appeal to their ignorance by selling them fairy tales that ignore scarcity and appeal to wishful thinking.

I wonder if it makes sense to have two identical cores trying to talk to each other without a clock to sync them. If they were more big.LITTLE style you might not fool yourself into thinking you can count on any congruity between runs or over time.

External systems have clocks build into their communications protocols. Maybe the cores are just islands unto themselves.
Note that WebAuthn (the standardized replacement for U2F, you should not deploy U2F today) is deliberately designed to authenticate to the site you're actually visiting. It is possible (but not necessarily in all browsers) to override this and authenticate to an iframe for example to allow a third party to authenticate but this creates yet a further problem to deal with:

Now you've got WebAuthn's anti-phishing protection for the actual login, but that protection extends no further. As the native authentication of a site (e.g. Google, GitHub, Facebook) that's fine. But for a third party helper that's a problem.

Say I intend to visit my hypothetical WebAuthn enabled bank. If I go to https://fake-bank.example/convincing-phishing-page/ there is no way for them to get my real-bank.example credentials. The browser vendor is responsible for making sure this is true.

But now suppose they use "Super Tokens" instead, and I protect my "Super Tokens" with WebAuthn. I go to https://fake-bank.example/convincing-phishing-page/ and the bad guys who run it only need to fool "Super Tokens" into giving them a working token for my real bank. I authenticate with WebAuthn to Super Tokens and so that's working fine, but any flaws in the Super Tokens backend or implementation, out of my control, put me at risk. Not great news.

And this has already happened (as proof of concept anyway), to existing players in the space. It's categorically less safe to do this.

France: Pop 67,153,000, Area 247,368 sq mi

Population density is about the same. 270 vs 240 people per sq mi.

Also running rail through flat low density area's tends to be cheap.
I'm just confused why anyone buys day-1 games at all.

What would be the point of putting user input on its own thread, though? Do you letting the UI run at 60 if the 3D graphics are janky? Otherwise there's no point collecting input faster if the game isn't going to draw it until next frame.
>""It is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer"

100% Agree.
In typescript, the type of 'file' implicitly changes, which is more information to keep track of.

In the rust example, a new variable is explicitly introduced—though, granted, it shadows the old by using the same name—and every variable has a static type for the entirety of its lifetime.

Which being said, I don't have a preference for either of those styles.

> The bug is alarming.

I used to run a compiler company (Cygnus). People were always complaining that the compiler was broken when the bug was in their code.

That being said we also got lots of real bug reports and sometimes you'd look at them and say "how the hell does anybody compile code when this happens?" Of course really those cases were indeed bad but only infrequently triggered.

But they are codebases like any other and code has bugs. I still find bugs every few months in various compilers. Usually they are already known.

And code quality bugs are lower priority than conformance (accuracy) bugs.

I used to think Wirecutter was useful, until I saw their recommendation for "the best bike rack" (for carrying bikes on the back of a car). They insisted that the best kind of bike rack is the type that is attached to the trunk lid using nylon straps and hooks. That's the cheapest kind, but also the worst by far, from my own experience and also just common sense. If $100 bike racks that scratch your car and have the bikes wobbling back and forth are really the best kind, why would anyone spend $500-$700 for high quality hitch-mounted and roof-mounted racks (that are easy to use and don't risk scratching your car or your bike) ?

It convinced me that the people writing these "reviews" have no idea what they're talking about and cannot be trusted. When the recommendations are for categories that I'm not an expert in, they can recommend whatever they want and I can't dispute it. When it's for a category that I know something about, and the recommendation is for the very worst kind of cheap junk product, it does raise a lot of doubt in my mind.

seasion ids are unique? are they personal data if you cannot link them to an individual? count those. let’s say you are paranoid and someone, somewhere can link those random ids to people. So hash those random ids with a key that this someone has no access to. Now you have anonymized ids you can count uniquely and that cannot be linked to individuals.

You can anonymize data if you really want to and use it for understanding trends, usage etc in a privacy respectful way. Few companies bother these days though. And yes if you want a 100% watertight way, it’s hard.
The character count isn't the important point.

The point is that there's no way to use a `Option<File>` type as a `File` without first checking for null. And once you do get a `File` you know that from then on it can't be null.

On the other hand, using a nullable `File` requires that you remember the null check. And that you remember it for every function that takes a `File`. Yes, that last part shouldn't be necessary with sufficient care but historically people do make mistakes that go unnoticed when refactoring or generally just editing code or reusing functions in large projects.
To add to this:

from my understanding of the rules even a lot of the informed consent popups today aren't compliant.

If I understand it correctly (and I think I am) the standard is that it should be equally easy to op out as to opt in, and the default should be opt out.

IMO this means I should just be able to dismiss any GDPR compliant box and the result should be no tracking.
I remember when Doom 3 made the same promise.

All dynamic lighting, dynamic shadows, no lightmaps. I guess it was a couple generations too early for that to work.

Maybe lightmaps are dying off now because game worlds are getting bigger and denser, and storage isn't getting faster as fast as GPUs are, so it's better to throw together something approximate and dynamic that can be rendered in 2 or 3 frames, than something perfect that can never move and has limited resolution at bake time.
The more lockdown the more lucrative big hacks become.
>You're saying that they'll have problems affording sugary foods.

That’s not quite what I’m saying and I think this is probably the core of our disagreement.

I’m saying they are buying fatty or sugary (or otherwise unhealthy) food because they often lack access to suitable alternatives. “Suitable” being defined as relatively convenient and affordable. In that context, extra tax makes a bad situation worse.

A somewhat clunky analogy would be levy a tax on any grocery store that doesn’t have a competitor within 50 miles. For the sake of the analogy, let’s say it’s in the vein of logistics/transportation externalities related to getting food to said store disproportionately contributing to climate change. What do you think that does to people in that community? It makes a shitty situation of lack of alternatives even worse. Before you hand waive this analogy as silly, I’ve lived in communities that were almost two hours from a grocery store and people had to pack coolers of ice in their pickup beds. There’s many other rural communities where a Family Dollar is the main grocery store.

>The current research shows that a sugar tax would be effective.

As an aside, a smaller point of disagreement is that I don’t think soda would fix the obesity problem. If it would, simply banning it would be a near panacea for our healthcare system. As you stated, obesity is much more complicated. As I understand it, the research shows sugar taxes are useful for reducing sugar consumption not necessarily at producing better health outcomes. It’s important to not conflate the two. That’s not to say it won’t lead to better health outcomes, just that the longitudinal data has isn’t there yet.

Regardless, states other than NY also didn't prevent it getting in via staffers, visitors or delivery folks or however it got in there and have a similar, terrible LTC death toll.

As an engineer, if you gave me this problem, I'd secure every LTC home with 24hr police / national guard. All staff would be do 3 weeks on, 3 off, but while "on" (think oil rig workers), living on-site in trailers or [hm]otels, not going home every night (movies do this when filming on location; juries get sequestered for important trials, why can't we do this here?). When staff go on-shift, they must be isolated and then tested before being allowed to go onsite. Deliveries left on the loading dock and properly sanitized, and no visitors -- AT ALL. For Medical emergencies (local FD / EMTs), the resident & 1st responders would have to be isolated for triage, then taken off-site and go back through quarantine / testing to get back in.

It's totally doable and the cost is a heck of a lot less than an economic shutdown / lockdown, or the continued high death toll.
I’ve seen this with models, by the time they’re 22 they have lived in multiple countries, travelled on their own, in all the most classic and “romantic” places that they and other people have aspired to merely visit, and also been around all designers and shows that they dreamed of.

They’re not even at the place where they’re worried about needing to pivot professions, they’ve just done their aspirations - other people’s aspirations - and are left wondering whats next.

They pivot, go back to school. Find something new to be passionate about. Take the office job they thought they would hate but suddenly find it fulfilling.

For us obviously these are the basics: an “office job” lol.

But the concept is similar, adjusting learning something new. Its not just about aspiring for new experiences for yourself, there can be other fulfilling things that are repetitive where you dont really have to one-up yourself, just do it differently. Like art, festivals.
