> The idea that otherwise well-behaving members of society would resort to rape without sex workers is, first, pretty fucked up

Well change the framing. Yes preventing the tradeoff in absolute term raises icky moral issues. But we don't live in a trolley problem world. Instead use the language of "harm reduction" i.e. marginal gains, and also drop the "otherwise well-behaving".

"otherwise well-behaving" is a bit fraught. I don't want to get into "there's tons of a bad people", because I don't want to prop of criminality as a immutable aspect of character. But explanation is not justification: just because some denial of something empirically pushes people towards crime, doesn't mean it is or isn't a justified excuse.

> then sacrificing our most vulnerable to them to ensure the safety of the rest of us is not a position I can support.

This is flat-out wrong. Sex work != trafficking. "Sacrificing" implies once a sex worker, always a sex worker, which is no law. The fact is in a world of shitty service jobs, alienating gig economy, etc., sex work often does pay better.

Vice prohibitions never work, so if one really wants sex work to go away, the only solution is to simply make other things and the social safety net pay better.
UCLA's Russell Lewis Centre is the organisation making the proposal.

There are some co-housing and community-housing projects, as well as NYC's venerated housing co-ops (for better and worse). There are some community / sustainable housing initiatives in Davis and Chico California, that I'm aware of (I'd need to research on specifics), though I'm not sure they follow this model specifically.

There's the prospect that occurs to me of working with land banks (mostly practiced in the Midwest / East Coast in the US) as a way of acquiring land.

The proposal itself seems striking to me. Yours is the only comment that's actually cottened on to the main thrust of the article.

> Though more common would be getInstanceIds() since you don't need to pluralize twice. E.g. we don't say "blues shoes", we say "blue shoes", so these aren't "instances ID's" but "instance ID's".

Completely agree with all your points (as a native English speaker who also minored in English)

However, for the sake of clarity (since we're trying to disambiguate between places the 's' could indicated possession vs. plurality) "instance IDs" should not have an apostrophe.

The only time an apostrophe goes in a non-possessive plural is in a contraction. E.g. "the '90s"

Then we also have fun words that probably should never be used which get an apostrophe on both ends (contraction at beginning + possessive plural)

e.g. " ... the '60s' countercultural attitudes ..."

But for clarity it might be better to go with

"... the countercultural attitudes of the '60s ..."
I'm also getting loads of Voltaren ads on YouTube. Apparently watching retro computing and cooking fucked videos is also linked to sprained ankles. I think Voltaren is just spending a lot of money and advertising with shotgun accuracy.

The ad copy is funny - Voltaren, not just for accelerated healing, or something to that extent. Everyone I know uses it (or, more likely, cheaper generics) for pain relief, without any particular expectation that the injury will heal faster. So that's the claim they hone in on, as opposed to the thing everybody knows. Standard ad stuff, I'm sure, but it's interesting when you notice it.

I was born with this exact defect. I only have 8 adult teeth. Most people hate going to the dentist, I needed to go really often between 18 en 21. I have 4 wisdom teeth, 2 up and 2 down. 2 molars and 2 front teeth on the upper side. My front teeth became my fangs using braces for a few years. So somewhere around my 21st they finished the work by creating a bridge using gold and porcelain on the upper side residing on my molars and the 2 fangs. On the lower jar, since I only have 2 wisdom teeth there, I got titanium implants. The weird thing is that my teeth feel real. Since teeth do not have sensors you feel everything in your mouth with vibrations that go through your teeth to your jaws. I only understood that when I got my false teeth.
I am really pleased with this news, as I hope that no one has to go through what I have been through. Getting this extensive dental surgery on the age I was leaves a deep mark. I never had any confidence due to my bad (small) teeth. I never smiled on photos. I think the first time I ever did was a few years back; I am almost 45 now.

I still reach for Rails a lot for prototyping. If the application can leverage Rails core functionality and the bigger gems in the ecosystem, I find it the quickest to prototype in, and the point of a prototype to me is to optimize for speed and customer feedback, often as the only developer. In many cases, the prototype needs to be re-written anyways when core assumptions don't survive encounters with the customer.

I think the reason this productivity exists is the all batteries included approach. For example, if I build a Rails gem, I can include data persistence through ActiveRecord and that code becomes less code that the developer using my library would have to write. Multiply that out by the various core libraries and the time savings can become significant.

I would also point out that for very early stage startups, the biggest problem is speed of development with only one to two devs. If they can't get the features out to reach product-market fit, it doesn't matter how good the performance of their application is.

There is always the possibility that we just won't know the cause of some medical symptoms no matter how much we test and investigate.

My question is, how often will we "just not know"?

No, type checking isn't the whole story. I think most people vastly overestimate how complex those algorithms actually are; you can have fast type checking for a lot of languages that seem really advanced with very expressive features. OCaml is a good example; the compiler is extraordinarily fast despite being a much more high level and powerful language than a lot of others. It's got good code generation too. In the case of Rust, monomorphization is a bigger contributor.

Making a compiler fast is largely a goal you have to continuously strive for, and for the most part doesn't come for free, no matter the language. Saying "it's an issue with the compiler" makes it sound like the Rust team consciously made some horrible design decisions or something, but that isn't evidently clear from anything we can immediately observe.

The story I suspect is correct and vastly, vastly more boring is they probably focused on "the language" (features, APIs, etc) for a really long time and only started focusing on compiler performance in more recent memory, once users started getting more irritated, so it ran away from them a lot. That seems to happen to every compiler these days; features are what get monetary and mindshare support from users. Down-in-the-dirt .5% performance wins day in and day out, which you have to do a lot of to actually improve things most times, normally aren't fun, nor something people trot out the red carpet for.
These are strategies that are being aggressively restricted. Chrome has not started preventing third party cookies yet, but they're the last holdout and have already stated they will kill them shortly.

If you're using a non-user-hostile browser, these strategies are already heavily limited by default and are already not a concern. Every Firefox release is making significant improvements on reducing the fingerprinting footprint of the browser, and several user-hostile API features proposed by Google have been rejected by them and Safari to prevent expanded fingerprinting.
Chrome is entranched, but not like IE was. You have to install the browser in the first place, which means the moment it starts to be too crappy people move elsewhere.

Why do you think Google hasn't prevented adblockers from running on it? If they did so, it would sink the browser so quickly.
Chia’s consensus mechanism, while probably the cleverest of non-PoW mechanisms (their white paper explains why most Proof-of-Whatever mechanisms besides proof-of-work are broken), is pretty sketchy.

It’s complicated enough that I can’t spot exactly what the weak point is, but that in itself is pretty concerning.

While, overall, Steinbeck said something different, your description of the intent is incorrect. "I guess the trouble was that we didn’t have any self-admitted proletarians. Everyone was a temporarily embarrassed capitalist." - This can only make sense when attributed to capitalists (believers in it) regardless of what systems they are currently participating in. This is a subtle description of human nature at large, which is why it's so memorable.

> One of the only real arguments against product-led, as I see it, is when the quality of the product is less correlated with success

In B2B enterprise the quality of the product is not correlated with success at all. Almost only the sales strategy and go to market execution counts. If you think this is not the case, join any B2B enterprise company and you will see it in action. That doesn't mean the product has to be shit.

> Who wants to build a business strategy around products that don’t fit a market need?

There is a difference between fitting the market need and being product-led. Customers don't only buy a product, they buy a vision, they buy an execution, they buy a service. There are tons of domains (if not most) that don't need a good product but only a ok product.

Product-led is a go to market strategy when a company is growing. There are almost no established big companies in the world which are still product-led

The person I was responding to gave only generalities.

> What smart contracts replace is a lot of the court mechanisms that are low hanging fruit.

What court mechanisms?

Let me give you a specific example.

I'm a landlord with a rental contract. In my state (as in many states), there are hundreds of statutes dictating the boundaries of this contract. There are also thousands of cases in common law that influence what I can and can't contract. For example, my tenant cannot contract away certain rights, even if they sign a legal document saying that they did it.

Scenario A: I use a smart contract stipulating that if there are damages, I can hold the security deposit.

Scenario B: I have a paper contract stipulating the same (although in many states there are statutes that say this, so the contract is just repeating existing law).

Now let's say I find "damage" and the renter disputes it.

How has the smart contract helped me? What difference did it make? In many situations, the smart contract enforcing itself without 100% understanding of the physical world or existing law would violate the law.

So that's how specific I'm asking you (or anyone) to be: give me a specific scenario where the smart contract enforces something in a reliable, efficient way that is significantly better/safer for either party.

Oh, I missed that comment---I thought the top comment was same at that time, but it has changed since then. That suffices as "explicit alternative explanations". Thank you for pointing it out.

I still believe that the presumption of innocence should not apply in this case, because fingerprinting is already close to guilty (if you don't agree to this premise there is no point for further discussion, so please refrain from arguing against this specific point). You are right that feature detection is not fingerprinting but they are virtually indistinguishable; given how widespread fingerprinting has been, it was enough to suspect so.

> Actual machine friendly formats are not the same as the data structures that power UIs.

You're right. I tried to simplify by leaving off the network, and that was a mistake. It is true, a business offering in-person user-facing software would have to design a protocol to get the data out of memory (ie a security boundary). But when a business offers the software over a communications network, such serialization formats are already a requirement. So I do have a second assumption of a communications network.

Whomever, at your own individual choice, as they're not bound by network effects of selling products as well. I'd personally choose a local client from the apt repository or nixpkgs.

So you're telling me that the back end engineers at Amazon just make whatever changes they feel like, remove the old version, and the front end engineers just deal? Or when the front end engineers want some additional data, they simply edit the backend code and deploy it directly?

In reality, there is versioning and change control going on internal to any large company. But once again you're blindfolding yourself to the common structure and customs that already exist, only to throw your hands up.

I really don't see how we can productively continue this conversation, as you keep superficially dragging in orthogonal complexity and then point outing how complex it is, rather than focusing on my proposal as stated.
