That's exactly what will happen. There will be at least 10-15 permanent holdout states that will never willingly legalize it. The same was going to be true of gay marriage. As a union we don't have to care about those holdout states, their positions are meaningless, just have to get a strong majority of the states on board and it's going to be taken care of at the federal level.

Who said anything about "non-hurting"?

Going back to tech investments, I'm pretty sure that if we were to put the initial investments into companies like Facebook, Twitter or even Google up to vote ("do they deserve the money or not given their future influence on society?") the results would be pretty close, given how much they actually did hurt part of our society.

The same goes for these "colonies", which are basically just another tech investment with the potential to influence the life of millions/billions in the future, potentially for the worst.

Irrespective, I don't think making it illegal is sensible. It's too costly, too authoritarian, and all in the pursuit of deterring a victimless crime.

In my view, fast food is a far bigger public health threat than pot use would ever amount to, given obesity prevalence and the number of people who die from cardiac arrest, but we never hear of attempts to ban that?

No moving parts, small and stable voltages, relatively stable temperatures, no capacitive sections to experience electromechanical strain. There's essentially nothing that can "wear out" in a CPU. Basically the only things that can degrade a CPU are if you run it on a noisy voltage source (unlikely, behind a power supply), or if you regularly turn it on and heat it up a lot and then allow it to cool. But if you keep a CPU well cooled or just run it constantly it will last essentially forever.
>I think for the most part the internet works much better than the physical world

so you have opted out of your local police protection and healthcare plan and rely on reddict detectives and crypto-marketplaces for your life insurance? When you need your teeth fixed do you rely on the guy who got his training from khan academy and youtube videos or someone who went to a good public school? YoU'd rather board a plane that, instead of being regulated by the government was regulated by a blockchain startup in the cloud?

Private internet fiefdoms do reasonably well at things that aren't made out of atoms. If you'd want to put it less charitably, the internet works for things that don't matter. Something Thiel, who is mentioned in the article as chief advocate for this weird feudal-libertarianism, has lamented himself.
More like `pipx install httpie`. To update all python apps : `pipx upgrade-all`. For setting up pipx, you can use a pyenv managed python, like latest version, independent of whatever version is installed on system/distro. And you do this only one time. pipenv is for managing virtual envs not python itself.

`go get` and `cargo build` don't "deply" the binary but merely build it. It's `sudo make install` vs `apt update` all over again.
Point is, from the complexity of app management POV, those language don't magically solve anything that python doesn't, not to mention the bigger size of the binaries built with Rust/Go.

I do choose rg/fd/fzf over python-equivalents all the time but I acknowledge that I have to manually keep track of installing/updating these programs.

You still have not shown a single way these colonies hurt. They don’t exist yet. You just read hypotheticals from one side. It is also known as pre-crime.

> Do you think it makes sense for that kind of power to come down to a roll of the dice?

Yes. Do you think it makes sense to look at human prosperity and say “there’s a large random component to who gets wealthy and who does not. Lets change that from “random” to “I decide.”” Do you see why other people would rather have wealth distributed by a randomized meritorious process than by bureaucratic fiat?

> You will likely receive more than you initially deposited into MtGox through the bankruptcy, but I do not know what you call "significant recompense."

I was one of those claimants who sold approximately the account value north of 1000 Bitcoins to bring myself in what I thought was a better position when all of your withdrawal methods were blocked. I attempted to withdraw BTC into BitcoinBuilder, but you guys had my account flagged for additional review from a previous TX I had made weeks ago. I had literally zero other options and you guys locked up all of my balance.

Some recompense could be given to now fiat claimants who sold all of their BTC holdings into USD _the day_ that Mt.Gox shut down. There were quite a handful of individuals who did with the same rationale this in the hours leading up to the website shutdown. I'm pretty sure they are the minority of claimant cases looking at /r/MtgoxInsolvency posts.

Today, the difference in market value those few hours for me would have been approximately been $7.9 MM vs. ~500k USD + penalties. There were zero guidance the days that you had your withdrawals blocked off, and any communication of what was going on especially in those few hours would have made such a difference in the 7 years that we/I had our money locked up.

Please look into these accounts that had this sort of activity _in the hours_ leading up to Mt. Gox's shutdown. If any group would be significantly impacted by any recompense, it would be us
Very nice work, seems really fast!
Since it’s written in Rust, do you plan to release a Windows version ?

HTTPie requires Python so Ht could have another advantage being easier to install.

[edited] there is already a Windows version, so really good job!

Even if we pretend it's such a low number (which it's obviously not), the even bigger problem with marijuana criminalization laws is the terror they cause. They terrorize the population, literally. It's government tyranny flat out. It's unjust, it's evil, it's cruel to torture your citizens that way, that they should have to live in fear when they're not harming other people.

The politicians that produced and executed the war on drugs across decades are all vile bastards, on both sides of the political spectrum. Anyone involved should never be allowed to hold elected office, and that includes the current President.

And it works abysmally poor in crucial areas. The internet has turbocharged child porn distribution, using such private fiefdoms you romanticize as safe havens -- out of reach for government agencies and thus quite often with impunity for the perpetrators. (And that's not even taking the real-world implications of rising demand through near effortless accessability and anonymity into account.)

> It strikes me as an employers problem to fix their toxic workplace, not lower level employees.

There are only few attempts to put workable advice for them too.

And what advice is there for them, it focuses on making our possible to report stuff, maken it possible for them to leave teams and otherwise use own agency.

Plus honestly, the super passive stance does me damage to you psychologically. Learning to control just a little feels better and causes less damage to you.

> . Once you've decided to go after someone toxic in management

As I told, successful harm reduction I have seen did not involved "going after him" as if you was bull. It involved setting boundaries, reporting stuff, keeping records etc.

Bonus points, you meet abuses everywhere, in any big enough company and social group.

The vast majority of WSB members weren't on the subreddit two weeks ago. At this point it may as well be a completely different community.
Yeah, it makes a lot of sense for that sort of power to be a dice roll. If the system is completely deterministic then people start gaming it and the result is politics. It is better to allow the dice to roll than to mandate everyone goes with a bad choice.

I see a call in your comment for rewards to be given out of innate qualities rather than observed outcomes. If you have a method for determining that; how about we do a small trial in politics first - where it would do more good - and argue about how well it worked? There is no evidence in my view that it is possible to determine people's innate qualities from a distance. The difference between a genius and a fool is too slim. It is doubtful that there has ever been a method to do that which worked.

Between, say, the American way of embarrassing riches and the EU way of equality I note one didn't produce many tech companies.
my guess:

- laptops are purchased by consumers and are shiny and modern looking. Personally I think glossy sucks, but it's like buying a shiny clean car when you see it in the store.

- monitors meanwhile, are very large and will not fall "in your shadow" so to speak. You will see everything behind you. Even with a matte screen, I have to turn off lights behind me to see dark ares on the screen, like when watching a movie.
But what are you going to do in the meantime? It's like people happy that their houses are increasing in value, but so do all the other houses. You've still got to live somewhere.
So you are putting up to a vote whether a person or group of people get to leave?
Designing for the illiterate (or inebriated) is a nice goal, but designing for people to change their app into a language they cannot read, and then expecting it to all be easily usable, is not really a particularly great design goal. In that instance, a button could have a single word that 99.9% of people can read, but if you've changed it to Spanish it may render the button incomprehensible. I personally can't think of a single app I use that is completely usable without basic reading comprehension. I'd be curious about examples though (assuming reasonable complexity) because it'd be some potentially useful design that I'd be interested in seeing (and potentially using).

Adding to this, I'm curious how someone who cannot recognise the characters of their languages would use input fields, too? I don't think I know of many input fields which are particularly accessible if one doesn't recognise language characters without using speech recognition (which kind of sidesteps the issue).

I agree but I would say the internet is not unique in that respect. Bioshock was cautionary tales.
You don’t only make money if the company fails, but if the market thinks it’s going to succeed at a faster pace than it eventually does. You’re not betting against the company, but the market’s opinion of the company. The alternative to allowing shorting is to only allow stocks to increase in price which is obviously silly.
I ditched Spotify for Apple Music last year (due to several issues with Spotify). The only thing I miss so far is a good web player. Apple Music offers one, but it crashes way too often. The iOS and even the Android app work just fine. Also, the price (at least here) is the same for both platforms.
This approach, like regular TDD, is upper bounded by the imagination of the tester. You would only catch bugs you can invent.
It's small, and on the grand scale probably negligible, but e.g. Fairphone is making phones which are designed to be repaired and maintained. They are growing fast, year over year.

If anything, such companies show there is demand and money to be made, there.
If you have an issue with Twitter in current form, go get a law passed. Don’t prosecute them before they have done anything. Don’t go pass laws that violate rights such as freedom of movement.
I think a core realisation is how those money come around. Opposite to popular belief, it is not an individual that earn money, it is the society that awards money to an individual. We should think about how that works.

As a democracy, we are free to think up tax schemes to ensure engaging activities, hope, and meaning for that masses.

As a supporter of the democracy, I can not say that is happening when only a few govern the largest sums of wealth.
There are a lot of issues that people are indifferent on though — they agree with it in principle, but it's not enough to swing their vote.

It feels like they'd need to poll something like: "You broadly think your representative has voted in favour of your issues, but they have also voted to repeal same-sex marriage. Would you reelect them?"

If you have a large vocal minority against something, politicians start to assess an appeasement strategy. "How many votes would it lose me to get these people onside?"

As a completely different example, I don't remember any polling in the UK in favour of the Brexit referendum before David Cameron called it, he was definitely playing to the vocal minority. & though polls show most people wish we had remained, it doesn't seem to be enough of an issue to sway people away from voting for Boris Johnson & the Tories generally.
Seems like we have come full circle for a state that originated as a colony with a tobacco-based economy. Back in its day, tobacco was also considered a vice and was heavily regulated by various nations.
This doesn't really sound like a new coding methodology, it's just describing a way to write good tests. TDD gets a special label because it flips the normal coding and testing process.
If the goal is immunity to Covid-19, isn't it simpler to just: catch it?

To be on the safe side, they could have lowered the risks of a bad outcome by things like (1) catching a smaller viral load (2) actually prepare for it and catch it at a convenient time etc. (Someone who's actually interested would research this longer.)

Surely it's safer than the home cooked vaccine, and surely the favorable option on a risk vs potential benefit analysis. Would make for a boring blog post though.
> what does environmentalism even mean on Mars? There is no biosphere.

It means protecting the environment which is basically everything not just the flora and fauna.

So I guess something like don't just brutally strip mine the entire surface of Mars for 4% cheaper cement or whatever at the cost of another planet's environment
You can't do all that with the real world. People need to eat, have water, electricity, sewage etc. You need access and transport. And security (private armies, anyone?)

All of a sudden, control over basic resources becomes a problem that just doesn't exist in the simplistic internet mirror.

And people will kick up a stink about that much quicker than they would over eg, FB misinformation or "free speech".
If it's not terribly easy to refute the claims with a reliable source, then yeah, you probably need a citation.
My biggest gripe with all of this is that there is no money in low-level or systems innovation. To be clear, there is some money, but it's reserved for those who are either PhD's, well known developers, or those with a long list of established OSS report (e.g. kernel hackers).

I hate (see: despise, lament, loathe) doing anything web-related, but the last 7 years of my career have been dist-sys positions and backend development simply because there is an extreme shortage of companies doing desktop software in languages I find interesting.

It's annoying how much Web has prevailed and it's certainly made me feel similarly to Blow in that regard.
