I found a link to a video with a large portion of the debate[1], though I can't vouch for whether watching it is worthwhile. From quickly comparing bits of it to a transcript[2], it seems like at least some of the debate has been cut out. However, to the video's credit, it does have the full visual effects of Leary's presentation in color.

That's what I was thinking as well, it's not uncommon to find translations of the Icelandic sagas along side original manuscripts or even Beowulf for that matter, but it's understandable if his class was one on Aristotle or politics rather than ancient Greek.
Lol well you should probably stop using binance and centralized exchanges generally.

You have actual permissionless dexs trading on Ethereum wallet to wallet. Literally, no bullshit in between where you don't have to worry about the CEO of the shitty CEX you're using taking a powder for 33 day's. There's nothing permissionless about bitcoin infrastructure, it requires custodial counterparties to trade hands. ETH and all the many tokens do not. Economics aside, that's probably the most bearish development for bitcoin

You can turn your nose and say ethereum dapps all have that admin key smell but things like uniswap, starks, the Dai stablecoin, yearn are dope as hell and I'd think worth a looksie
But don't those vendors have to have some sales agreement with Cisco? I'm guessing they don't after reading about it a bit more, but I'm just surprised.

The real story here is that the author depended upon these jerks for his/her work visa, facing deportation back to (I assume) a less pleasant country. It sounds like everyone involved took advantage of that fact. Perhaps systemically.

I've faced similarly abusive workplace cliques on multiple occasions. They're very easy to bust if you're willing to put aside your personal shame. But I never had a visa hanging over my head during these confrontations.

Preface: This all seems wildly off-topic since there's absolutely nothing in throwaway998662's post to suggest that he is a violent offender.

> I'd like to express a controversial opinion.

The opinion that follows this line is basically the fundamental guiding principle of the US's undeniably beyond broken justice system.

Outside of extremely liberal social enclaves the view that violent criminals should be locked up is probably one of the least controversial views on US criminal justice reform.

The view that violent criminals are not worth defending is so uncontroversial that even prison reform activists almost always preface their appeals with statistics about the huge number of non-violent offenders, as if to say: "yes, we at least aren't breaking the conventional view that Violent Offenders Are Bad".

> And in my eyes it is these choices which dehumanize them.

Bottom line: Does it really matter how you feel? I care about the safety of innocent people, including myself and my family. You can feel like violent prisoners are subhuman, that's fine. But insisting on institutions that net out your retribution -- even at the expense of reducing recidivism and saving future victims of violent crimes -- isn't that a tad selfish?

It's entirely consistent to both feel that violent criminals are subhuman and also realize that crafting institutions which treat them as such is net harmful to the rest of society.

To a large degree, KMT supporters don’t even want unification. They’re happy with a de facto independent ROC. Only a disappearing fringe consider themselves to be a province of China in 2021.
I don't think worrying about limits is a good thing for us as individuals or as a species. Sure some things are harder to comprehend, but we haven't come across anything incomprehensible yet, let's cross that bridge when we get there.

Usually when I see "limits" in other people it's not so much that they can't possibly comprehend something, it's that it would take an impractical amount of effort and time to have them comprehend it. With better teaching technology it may be more feasible for them to understand these things that were incomprehensible to them, and if not there's always the next generation.

That's BS, none of the core F# developers have a VS/Windows agenda. F# was one of the first MS products Open Sourced and they were an early adopter of running on Mono back in 2010 in order to run cross-platform. Now they're a supported language on the latest high-performance cross-platform .NET runtime.

For a long time the F# community criticized Microsoft for their lackluster tooling support in VS where it was treated like a 2nd class citizen, but that's less of an issue now that a lot of devs are developing F# with cross-platform IDEs like VS Code and JetBrains Rider.

Yes I've thought about that many times. Maybe i am. Maybe i'd not really know nor understand if i was, or maybe i would see myself and think, yes, i am insane! But either way, if I'm insane or not, by your definition, or any definition, or not, I'm okay with it.

And i often consider if i might be deluded or psychotic. It's definitely possible sometimes.

Delusions are just so compelling, and very flattering and soothing to the ego.

But right now, no i don't believe myself to be, and i do believe what i say.

If that let's you feel more or less credulous about my statements, i understand that, and yet neither your reaction nor interpretation is my responsibility, so i can't help you with it, I feel sorry for you to say.

But if it makes it easier for you to hear my statements while believing I'm insane, i encourage you to continue to do that. I don't want it to be hard for you. Please continue to make it easy on yourself, and have a great two zero two one.

Edit: your comment was downsided but i think it's a great question and a very interesting thing to think about. It for me thinking might about other things, so I'll add.

Sometimes I wonder why do I care so much about such and such a topic e.g politics or geopolitics or something like that and I have to admit sometimes I don't really understand why I care so much about it, at first. so I think it could be useful for me to take a step back and go why do I feel so strongly about this? Cuz I don't want to be an instrument of the will of some idea that I don't understand, nor of someone who's not me.
It's Reid Hoffman's idea, not mine—a referral from a trusted source is a better indicator than an interview.

He's previously said that if he could only decide based on one or the other, he'd hire the candidate referred by a trusted source and skip the interview. In practice, this choice never comes up, but you can weight referrals much more strongly than interviews.
That’s still an awful lot of miles to travel for that. If I remember correctly Subway has the most locations so probably you can get better food by driving less.
Maybe back in the 70s. I have KMT friends who openly say that there’s no likelihood of unification with mainland China. For the most part they like the status quo, they love their Chinese cultural heritage, and don’t really care that it’s confusing for the rest of the world as to whether they are Taiwan or ROC.

The reason that ROC still de jure claims 20th century territory (including Mongolia) is because redrawing the borders would upset the status quo and signal independence to PRC which is a red line for missile attack. In every practical way, the Taiwan province has been streamlined away and the ROC _is_ Taiwan.

Deprogramming the Programmer
"Unfortunately, Apple became the place that I lost feeling of physical and psychological safety and the terror that it inflicted on me has impacted me on such a core level that the painful memories and flashbacks have replaced my dreams and they will hunt me until I am alive."

I really don't understand this. I'm not saying this from a perspective that they are wrong, but that I honestly don't get it, please help me understand it. My response is about ambition related stress.

I've had experiences in war torn countries and seen those that are drastically less fortunate than the author. For the author to say that they have terror and flashbacks that will hunt them.... is this just a perspective thing? The author mentions twice he had been in a war related country.

Is it a self imposed stress to do well that is greater than the stress that those in poverty and war stricken countries deal with? Is it all relative? I feel like there is real stress involved with ambition from reading this.

I mean this honestly, I read this post and feel this is a first world problem post. What am I missing?

Cool. Seeing how my comment went from three upwards to four downwards I admit I was a little scared to look at the comments cuz I expected them to be a dumpster fire but the comments were actually really good here... Except for the person asking if i think I'm insane, haha. Just kidding, that was also a really good comment, but others didn't like it, haha :) ;p xx c.

I think this indicates this idea is polarizing and that the people who found the statement outrageous downfloated while those who were able to engage with it in a critical manner posted some interesting content. I think that's a very interesting signal about this kind of idea that it's so polarizing. At least in this small sample size of hacker news readers. who knows how that compares to the general or larger or different population tho?
I meant to say "we weren't allowed to leave the building" rather than "campus".

Though I don't think a parking lot traffic jam is a sufficient reason either. There are already repercussions for arriving to school late which is what prevents the morning traffic jam from being a problem. Someone shouldn't be allowed to leave at all just because they would be late if they don't come back in time to park. I don't even understand how that could sound convincing to you.

That's just the type of thinking that gives us zero tolerance policies.
If we were optimizing for reducing harm to innocent people, then we would in fact summarily execute violent criminals who are guilty beyond a shadow of doubt. My point was not about retribution, but exactly the opposite - optimizing for the safety of innocent people without regard for the humanity of violent criminals.

I did go on to suggest reforms and a model in Japan, which has very low crime and recidivism rates, especially when controlling for population density.

Edit: It seems we agree that the US system is broken. We just disagree on how to fix it. To elaborate, I think the main problem in the penal system is that prisoners are allowed to freely associate, share experiences, and form a culture. This should under no circumstances be permitted. It is this culture which gives people ideas about what sort of criminal they will become once they leave the system. Instead, if we do insist on giving people a second chance, they should effectively be reprogrammed. With every aspect of their routine controlled in such a manner as to produce compliant, law-abiding citizens to re-integrate into society.

It's a bit nuts to try to estimate software development. People want certainty that they can't actually get. Some will even overpay 2-3x just to have it be a fixed number. Having a good process for managing change and accountability is key.

In the case of UpWork, a friend in California was not particularly price sensitive, he just didn't like the bullshit. Every project would involve Skype calls in the middle of the night. He would ask for something for his website and someone would bid $500, then come back and try to fight for another $100. But if they bid $600, they would probably lose. You post a job and there are 100 similar bids. So you just choose the cheapest from the first page or two. Anyone who put any thought into the bid is on page five. And the cycle repeats.
ShotSpotter is really not a great example of AI monitoring for interpersonal violence, if only because detecting gunshots is not that hard. For those who have never been around guns, guns are very loud. Loud enough to damage your hearing instantly. Detecting gunshots is a pretty low hanging fruit in this area, and far less impressive than detecting the chainsaws of illegal loggers in the Amazon, for example.

The point about facial recognition cameras is fair though.

> The "pipeline" is also easy in the US. Come here for a MS degree, and get hired. For many other countries, it's not that easy. Some allow you to immigrate due to your advanced degree, but with no guarantee of work, so you need to have plenty of money saved while you look for work - something many cannot afford.

I have to disagree with this as an Iranian working in Germany who moved with an offer on a Blue Card.

After getting an offer, getting visa was 1 week, I started working immediately, have changed job with only bureaucracy being involved is a small email to the Foreigners employment Office(LABO) to confirm my new contract looks good.

I think people have an unfair view of state of immigration in EU.

Regarding your other point about racism, that experience is not representative of the whole of EU. I am biased as I live in Berlin but I think you are also biased (probably) if you live in the multi cultural centers of US(SV/LA/NYC/Seattle etc.).

I have not had any horrible racism experience neither my friends whom I discuss these things regularly. I am sure if I lived in a small town/city, I will get racism behavior regularly, independent of EU, USA, Canada etc.

To clarify: Took 1 week from Turkey where I was living then, from Iran would have been longer due to German Embassy inadequate staffing, etc.

> Not going to get into terroir other than to say that to reduce it solely to the soil type is the wrong way to look at it.

We're agreed on that front. My comment about limestone was to present one scientific aspect of terroir as _I_ understand it (which is to say, as a casual wine drinker recalling something I'd heard from a winemaker some years back).

That's a fair point about a lot of varietals being very heavily coupled to places of origin, and that's especially true for the big names that we've been discussing. But a white wine from the Alsace region (for instance!) could be a Gewurztraminer, or a Riesling, or something else entirely. (That said, I wouldn't expect an Alsatian white to be an Italian varietal...)

(https://winefolly.com/deep-dive/alsace-wine-region/ suggests a pretty even split between 4 different main varietals, with a tail.)

I didn't mean to be snarky, that is my unironic take. Our current prison system delivers a horrible punishment, but in a way people can pretend it's not occurring. It would be better to deliver a less horrible punishment and make it public so people know it is occurring. Not only would this be more humane, it also improves the deterrent value of punishment. With the current justice system, people can pretend like doing crimes makes them into some sort of badass. Public humiliation / castration helps clarify that. The goal is to deter crime effectively with as little suffering as possible.

“In the U.S. and other rich countries, welfare states provide even the poorest people with access to housing, food, and other needs, though there are still those who go without because severe mental illness and/or drug addiction keep them stuck in homeless lifestyles and render them too behaviorally disorganized to apply for government help or to be admitted into free group housing.“

This is not exactly true. Welfare in some parts of the US may be minimal; for example, food stamps may be available but not enough to feed yourself every meal. Further, housing assistance may be non-existent or virtually so in the sense that many are homeless while waiting extended periods of time before they can utilize it, don’t qualify because their income is too low (it’s true, but how does that make sense?), or such housing is temporary.

Also, some of the “right” interpretations are rather optimistic or generous in their assessment. But fun read.
That seems reasonable to me. Lunch breaks are typically ~20 minutes long in high school. It’s easy to think, “I can go pick up food 10 minutes away” without considering the line to exit the parking lot, walking to the car, etc. A bunch of teenagers speeding to beat the bell is a terrible idea, and can definitely lead to tickets or deaths.
Paper in general doesn’t always recycle well in practice. The issue is that grease ruins batches of paper that are being recycled by literally greasing the fibers so they don’t stick together into a coherent product. This is a big issue when food grease ends up in the recycling chain, especially in the form of pizza boxes.
