On Recent Controversial Events (2019)
If you were arrested without good cause and then let free you were seized, past tense, and then free at the same time. The same is true if you were held momentarily then got free.

Being freed in 10 seconds or 10 years later doesn't make the seizure less unlawful and your current disposition should have little to do with deciding what WAS lawful at time of seizure.

Deciding that shooting a suspect unlawfully counts as detaining them is more challenging than the current state. I would prefer to call it attempted murder and prosecute the shooter.
Because it may not be obvious to everyone: Bad Apple is a music video from the Japanese video game series "Touhou" which is sort of a fan favorite among the crowd that would port FMV to retro systems.

It's not really all that recent, if you put it into YouTube you'll find ports of it to all sorts of retro consoles and PC's all throughout the last century. I assume it's also quite popular for this use case since it's monochrome.

I too, used to think incentives were good enough to generally guard against bad behavior like this. The problem is that incentives can change quickly and unless data is explicitly (and with some guarantee) removed, there's always the chance for it to be accidentally exposed, nefariously exported, or repurposed as incentives change. The only safe amount of data to send out by default is what's essential to accomplish what you are trying to do.

Relying on Apple to do the right thing when they're sent a bunch of data which has some use to them, and to their users, if they keep it and run statistical analysis against it, is like relying on that handshake agreement to store some of your belonging in your kindly old neighbors shed. Sure, you trust him, but he's not going to be around forever, and who's to say what will happen to it if someone takes over his property after he's gone. And if that kind neighbor had a habit of cleaning up the stuff your kids left in your yard for you by putting the items in that shed of his... well it's nice that he allows your kids to get their stuff from there whenever they want, but still, that's just asking for problems down the line.
You need less road space to distribute resources to more people in dense areas. For example, the resources to deliver everything people need in Manhattan is less than if you took all those people out of Manhattan and spread them around in detached houses.

By exponential, I meant when you increase the distance between them, you multiply everything consumed by an extra factor. More pipe for water and sewer and gas, more wire for electricity, more road for more intersections and wider roads, more miles driven for garbage trucks, more schools, it has a knock on effect of all consumption.

And it’s just as simple as that - the more you consume, the more you pollute. The more you consume space, the more you consume everything since the further everything has to get pushed (assuming you’re still expecting all the trappings of modern life). I am guessing that the extra space I am consuming now is probably a luxury that future generations won’t have, assuming population levels of people who live an American lifestyle hold steady or rise.

Why are these things transported further to get to cities than rural areas? I could see the argument if most of these things came from most rural areas but that largely isn't the case. Many manufactured goods are imported from other countries. Very few rural areas grow all the food they need. Instead they will specialize in a few areas, sell there surplus and buy goods from other areas. For historic reasons many large cities are located at places where these types of trade goods had to go through already to get from one rural area to another.
It looks cool, like I may well want to use it.

The github page doesn't seem very good at introducing new users though. It suffers 100% from the "curse of knowledge". There's a lot of GIFs of stuff being done, but I found it was impossible to learn anything from those, they move too fast, and don't explain what they're doing. There's just a few lines of text in between each, which don't explain really what or why, either. What are the basic..data structures? How do I use it, in the simplest case? I don't know the answers to these, after scanning many pages of text on that page. Something taking me through a first session using it would be very helpful. The software is proclaimed to be quick and simple...but the documentation managed to be lengthy, frustrating, and no help at all. I gave up.

For example, "Usage" looks like where you'd start, but there are 3 GIFs with something being done, I can't tell what, and it's not explained. That's all there is in "Usage". Next is "List artifacts" - but it hasn't explained what artifacts are, or how to create them. Why would I read further? It seems just more of the same.

For web applications, having a separate daemon for sqlite is best practice anyway. SQLite doesn't play nice with multiple concurrent connections (costly locking, the possibility of data corruption). You typically need to offload transactions to a queue in a daemon thread.
How do you get the ship to fall into the hole at the right moment?
Right now the goal is to unblock the canal; if the entire cargo were lost in the process, that would be expensive, but I'm not confident it'd be more expensive than blocking shipping through for an extra fortnight.
> the freedom to not get shot is fairly obviously protected under the ninth amendment

These issues are complicated. If you think something is fairly obvious, you are missing colour. (My feelings are different for a legislator.)

My freedom to not get shot interferes with your freedom to be protected by police. Until recently, criminals were hanged by county legal functions. That line has shifted. Policing in America is too violent, but it is not apparent that it is illegally violent.
The legislative branch has produced first and foremost the constitution. It is just and lawful. Even dissenting justices find this lawful thus it is remarkable that you should disagree. The court should consider the constitution, state law, and the body of relevant cases

I started learning HTML back in early high school (~96). Very fond memories of doing our warm-up laps in gym class with a friend (who is my part-time LLC business partner to this day), and we tried to remember whether it was the 'a' or 'href' part that came first. We heard rumors that there were web developers who would make $100/hr programming. The combination of those dollar signs and the magic of being able to write something that would manipulate the screen (the latter being much more motivating, to be honest) is what kept me up until 3 or 4am many nights/mornings, only to wake up at 6am to hang out with my dad before he left for work. This resulted at least one time in in me falling asleep in my high school health class, waking up entirely alone after the period ended. Oops.

I felt so many times that I was _so close_ to being able to understand how to do this new, exciting CGI thing. Something about the form action? What should that be -- the filename I want to write? Do I put the counter + 1 value there? Oh, it's just GET or POST. Oops.

I bought a book, CGI How-TO, one day at Media Play[0] with some friends while on a brief break from our LAN party setup. (Coaxial networking was a huge PITA - as soon as someone came or left, our in-progress game was terminated.) It discussed C and Perl. That book sits on the bookshelf four feet away from me right now for the nostalgia and the love of learning. A few years later, I asked my parents for Learning Python Programming for a Christmas gift. I flipped through it trying to grok what a tuple was. That thick book sat on my shelf for a lot longer than it should have, but the joy of having such a tome of possibilities was unlike most others.

> the question of jury nullification could be taken up by the Supreme Court

The “question” of jury nullification is a fundamental flaw of the jury system. Legalising it invites mob rule. Directly challenging it undermines the prerogative of a jury. So...we just don’t talk about it. If it were to be solved, it would involve the abolition of the jury system. Which nobody wants.

See, the problem is it's cheaper to pay all the bribes. Morality is good and commendable but in the end money speaks, at least in the shipping industry. The trip around it is way, way more expensive, both in time and fuel.
You would probably need to be the US military. Once you have a setup onsite; helicopters, pilots, fuel, maintenance, crew to rig containers, you could rapidly unload the containers. Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08K_aEajzNA

US Military is probably the only entity that could pull this off in a timely manner. At great cost of course...

One of the key impacts that planners worry about, aside from the obvious noise and smell, is visitors.

Homeowners in residential zones expect that the streets are used rarely, and by people they personally know.

Businesses generate traffic. Worse, much of that traffic is outsiders.

Sometimes you will see mixed or light-commercial zones immediately adjoining residential zones, where the key criterion is that the business “does not normally receive visitors.”

Do the older versions of the TestFlight app still work? The App Store allows you to download the latest version of any app that's compatible with your device; I assume the TestFlight app is no different in this regard.

That is, while the TestFlight app now requires iOS 13, I assume that iOS 12 users are still able to access betas of apps that themselves still run on iOS 12, via an older version of the TestFlight app.

Yup, I get it. The energy released by a thermobaric weapon is spread out over a very, very large distance. Inside the blast, people will be killed and equipment will be rendered interoperable by the extreme temperature and the over pressure. Outside the blast you have a very strong (but subsonic) blast wave. But inside the blast, the pressure will envelope stuff, and push on it from both sides. With regards to blasting away a very large ship, thermobaric weapons are not particularly effective.

Not all. But there are late fees, refunds, profits lost because your ship now has to travel a larger route and can therefore take fewer roubdtrips, increasing costs per roundtrip due to the longer route etc.. If we just assume a meager 1% actual loss, the concrete would be worth it in two hours. Even with the remaining expenses due to work, this should pay for itself rather quickly.

A prosecutor can't appeal an acquittal. Jury nullification is only considered in cases where (for instance) judges instruct juries in ways that prohibit them from considering jury nullification and the defendant is found guilty.

The reality is jury nullification is here to stay because jurors are not required to explain their findings nor can they be punished for finding things 'wrongly.' Judges, per the SCOTUS, are free to discourage this behavior, but there's nothing to stop it and no imaginable mechanism to even bring such a stoppage to the SCOTUS.
Isn’t bribery the norm throughout time and place though? —and the kind of law and order we enjoy in the West, the exception?

It’s understandable that this makes people who aren’t used to it uncomfortable, so does going barefoot, or not using a toilet.

My point is, it’s easy to proselytize when you are a comfortable wealthy person, adapted to and living in a state with a functional justice system.

I strongly disagree that it's already regulated where needed. Eg cheap IoT devices.

Real talk with a blockchain engineer (2021 edition)
It's been ~2 years since my last post on this. time for round 2.

Strong use cases that have emerged for blockchains are:

- Proof of digital ownership: currency and NFTs (anything non-fungible)

- Transparent voting: verifiable elections and governance ("DAOs")

DeFi has shown some incredible applications like uniswap emerge with now silicon valley backing.

Unfortunately DeFi is also rebuilding the house of cards we have in the current financial system,
which only a select few will really understand and benefit from.

So what's next?

Governance.

The future for blockchain is all about semi-regulation in the western world.
There must be an avenue for proper governing bodies to participate, even for simple things like verifiable dispute resolutions, yes and tax.

Currently software developers hold all the keys to governance due to technical entry barriers. e.g. there's a misconception that only X bitcoin will ever exist, actually bitcoin core devs could change this at anytime (of course with repercussions, forks, etc.).

If blockchains do not evolve to allow proper decentralized and judicial governance systems we will simply recreate the current state of things except with software developers in charge.
Governments will then ban use of public blockchain cryptocurrencies and supplant them with their own private variants (see CBDCs).

Lastly, most people will be using blockchains in 10 years without realizing or caring as the UX improves.

All that said, it's an incredible space to be working in.
> the law abiding people stress over the bribes

I think you mean you stress over the bribes. There are many people who are accustomed to handling such minor corruption and yet are not corrupt themselves. They know how to handle it with minimum anxiety or disruption to their lives. Obviously it would be preferred it the corruption wouldn't exist, but I think you are also projecting your anxiety on others.

Secondly, the likely reason they can't charge more is that these prices are likely set by some person or system higher up than them, yet they are taking more on top of that official price. Thus, if the price were raised, it wouldn't be going to those who are doing the graft. Your premise of "just charge higher prices" misunderstands the nature of the prices and the market. Again, I'm not saying I like corrupt systems. I very much dislike them and think they are one of the primary causes preventing many developing countries from as quickly catching up to developed countries. But to fix them, we need to understand them, and saying "just internalize the bribery cost into the official price" misses the reason it exists in the first place.
It’s encouraging that initiatives like this seem to be popping up more often - co-operatives of workers looking to cut out corporate middlemen. It will be an uphill climb, but I hope this is the future. The technical moats of a lot of recently minted tech companies don’t seem to be so great that they can’t be overcome with time and open source work. The inertia and efficiency that comes with scale will be harder to compete with.

It isn't a supply and demand issue IMO. If more housing is built then it gets bought up by property managers and they just raise the prices and make it unavailable to people based on the American social credit system. If you're on unemployment or facing some hardship and have poor overall credit but good rental history and enough monthly income for rent, good luck finding housing that isn't in terrible shape, in a low crime area, and an ethical landlord.

However, if rural areas allowed individuals to have access to small plots of land and utilize cheap portable housing units where they could work on sustainable agriculture and community programs to promote self-sufficiency, and social safety nets to address issues of people with disabilities that may not be able to care for themselves without assistance then I believe the homeless crisis could be greatly adverted and also give purpose and fulfillment to those struggling with inner-city homeless issues.

> This has never happened to me with Windows.

Lucky you! When this happened to me with Windows last time, I had no idea what to do and how to diagnose it even though I spent a lot of time on it and had the knowledge of all of the Internet available. I had to reinstall and painstakingly redo my whole setup.

When it happened to me with GNU/Linux, it gave me enough rope to actually debug what happened, so I could fix it and get back to where I was before. And I went through several Ubuntu and Debian dist-upgrades, and now I'm even using Arch which is a rolling distro that's somewhat expected to break from time to time.

So sure, it does happen more often than it did on Windows - but I don't think I actually waste more time with that than I did when using Windows.
