What exactly makes it less efficient? Lack of networks?

I have never even heard of these and I doubt most programmers ever have. The feature also seems very easy to abuse for password exfiltration if you can sneak in some reflective XSS.

> Also notice that the events in TFA occurred in the area of Italy that is roughly the birthplace of their organized crime syndicates.

The country subject of the article - Italy - is extremely inefficient (I don't doubt that there is worse, of course). Absenteism is relatively tolerated; it's not correct that it's a product of organized crime. Sadly, it's a very simple phenomenon of a system without the checks and balances yo mention.

I've observed it first hand, and the absenteist was even open about it - they were actually bragging about it (I'm not joking). I remember another employee waiting to be transferred to another (specific) city, so that he could "do nothing all the day".

> Moreover, in functioning democracies, turnover happens frequently

> This is the kind of thing that happens when governments become dysfunctional, and are captured by authoritarians and/or criminals, not a normally functioning democratic government.

Italy can still be classified as a democracy nonetheless, and it's not going to fail because of inefficiency and corruption.

A company as efficient as the Italian's administration would not survive in a free market, without any doubt.
One possible benefit is that it might help provide closure for the people who lost friends and relatives in the mass shooting.

How do you know that’s not the case?
I'll be proving the point that tmux is a batteries-not-included program with my solution to your "resurrect", but it's probably fine for (and unsurprising to) anyone who doesn't mind writing a few lines of bash:

I have a bash script by the name of .tmux inside of every workspace folder. Its contents are typically a single multiline tmux command that creates a new tmux session with all the screens and processes relevant to the project (usually: emacs, shell for git, ssh to staging + prod, prompts in various databases, and several entr-driven screens for automatically running migrations, tests, etc).

Separately, I have a shell function that runs every time I change directories that checks for the existence of said file, and then either runs the file, attaches to the existing tmux session associated with the folder, or does nothing (in the case that the shell is already in a tmux session).

In short, I setup my workspace once per project.
The biggest takeaway here isn’t the specific network debugging skills used (though they are important, but you’ll notice you can still follow along if you don’t know how to use them). It’s learning that you can solve your own problems, and that there are little experiments you can run to debug issues even if you have no idea what is going on. This is basically teaching the scientific method to programmers, which I think is possibly the single most important skill they could have in their toolbox (computers are mostly deterministic, after all) and it is shocking how many engineers don’t have the ability or desire to use this tool.
Sounds like a little-used TLD that ICANN has been trying to phase out for decades. Google has individual sites for most of countries that would have initially been under the umbrella of the .su (USSR) TLD, and .su apparently has 2% of the usage of .ru where Google already has a site.

Maybe they'll try to snap it up now that it's attracting a little attention but they probably just don't really care about it...

I don't know how you could replace the jurors but I think they're only as good as the rest of the system. I mean, if they don't get to hear or see certain evidence because it was deemed non-permissible or it was hidden or destroyed, they can't make a good decision. Not to mention at one point we had no DNA evidence. We relied on junk science with bite marks and shoe prints and other things.

Although there are indeed issues with peers (and witnesses). I was in a large lecture hall some time ago and someone came in to do an staged purse snatch. You couldn't see the person's face and they were moving fast.

When the class was shown a lineup to say who it was, most all agreed it was one of the suspects. When asked why, they said he was tall (he was much taller than the others in the lineup).

And that was the whole point. People will try and identify based on little info and they make the incorrect assumption that the lineup they were presented with actually has the real perpetrator!

So if you presented a lineup (maybe an impartial organization other than the police) and made it really clear to the witnesses that the perp may very well NOT be in the lineup, you would probably fix a lot of bad identifications. And you wouldn't have detectives trying to influence a decision. That would be a good start.

Evolution of the Internet
I never said certificates are "useless". I am commenting only on this one IP address and one specific use of it, downloading zone files. How do you extrapolate that to be a general statement about certificates.

In this case you are downlaoding a file that is served at a number of other known, unchanging IP addresses, "root servers." Even more, the RRs in the file have been signed, "DNSSEC".

All I am saying is that a "bare IP address" in this case is still useful, even without a domain name and certificate.
I once had a surreal conversation with a Jehovah's Witness priest who was proselytizing on my campus. It was around the time of the Iraq war, and he opened with something like "if killing is wrong, why do we have the death penalty." I managed to use Saddam Hussein's alleged human rights violations as a rhetorical lever to justify the killing of one to prevent the killing of many. As a supporter of neither the death penalty nor the war on Iraq, I've never walked away from a victory with so much regret

"Normal" cars don't call their adaptive cruise control 'autopilot' or sell "Full" self driving that doesn't exist yet.

disengaging the autopilot or reducing speed at the wrong time is already occurring quite often with autopilot. If these are unacceptable level of risk introduced by using autopilot, then autopilot should not be used.
Nah, there's much more than roads in a welfare state.

There's a nationwide pension fund, unemployment "insurance", long-term care insurance and what not. All of this is cross-financed in a mix by everybody who's paying into it.

Also: Lots of people switch from private health insurance back to public health insurance once they get old, because then costs are rising. A welfare state also supports those who have "suddenly" become poor so they had to make that switch... ;-)
I've got good news for you! The Shojinmeat Project's (https://shojinmeat.com/wordpress/en/) mission is the "democratization of cellular agriculture." They develop methods for DIY cultured meat (recently someone posted about developing a cell culture medium out of Red Bull). They do have a slack channel, but it's not super active recently. They're pretty active on Twitter though, and their website is a great resource. I would highly encourage you to also check out some of Yuki Hanyu's (founder) talks on YouTube; he's great.
It seems like you're equating "there is corruption in the US" with "the US has more corruption than most other countries".

I share your concern for corruption in the US, but I submit that you have lost your sense of proportion. The US is not -- by any stretch of the imagination -- anything less than "mostly not corrupt".
I have a friend from Japan who has lived in the US for over 25 years or so. A couple years ago he went back to visit family and said that people were treating him very strangely because he is Japanese and speaks the language, but he was having to ask people how to do everyday things like buy train tickets because everything is so different from when he grew up there.
The problem was that COVID lockdowns took many schools by surprise, and instead of making exams designed for online platforms, they tried to fit regular into a online platform.

> Self defense is moral and justified.

To the extent that it is moral and justified, it does not extend to include intent to kill. To the extent intent to kill is present, it is not morally “self-defense”, though it may still be within the scope that law does not punish when the other moral elements of self-defense are present (which is, itself, right and proper despite allowing some immoral acts to go unpunished as criminal law should err on the side of nonpunishment and teasing out intent when the other elements of self-defense are present is more likely to result in the reverse error.)

I realize the other comment more than dipped a toe in it but that's no reason to go all the way.
The economy already banned interest, sort of and we have less growth because of it. Low interest rates are a boon to unproductive companies and if those unproductive companies go under they may cause a recession. The reason why we have interest in the first place is to encourage savings and stave off inflation.

Most interesting aspect of wafer-scale manufacturing is yield. Even if we have 95% chip yield, as the chip size approaches the wafer-level dimensions, I don't know off top of my head what the math would be but it is going to plummet drastically. My guess is that they're handling this in the chip logic. Building resiliency by turning off cells in the wafer that didn't yield. That begs the question, how are they probing them? A probe card of the size of the wafer is unheard of. How are they running validation? Pretty mindblowing to say the least!
you kind of answered your own question with the next to paragraphs. Other car manufacturers don't call their adaptive cruise control 'autopilot' or 'full self driving'.
A lot of shipping issues are complicated because we have no global government and we have a lot of international waters and shipping, by its very nature, tends to involve ships passing from one legal jurisdiction to another repeatedly.

It's not about not wanting to offend wealthy people. It's in part a matter of "Who has authority here?"

There's a lot I don't understand about it, but this seems like it's probably a fairly modern development and it's high time we created meaningful solutions so this cannot happen again.

Glad to see he got free and a reporter was talking to him and he was broadcasting via internet. But that should not be how something like this gets resolved, on some kind of ad hoc basis after so long.

a classic essay discussing the real ground truth problems of decentralized anything is by Jo Freeman, called the tyranny of structurelessness [0].

though most of the punches land toward the end, it is a fascinating and short read, in which she dissects, with the sober disappointment of a former optimistic evangelist, exactly why structureless ("decentralized" before that term became vogue) movements are never what they claim to be, and indeed cannot be.

why? because structureless coordination of groups above a handful members doesn't scale beyond the achievement of the simplest kinds of goals, such as consciousness-raising (or, in crypto-promoter terms, spreading "adoption").

any group objective requiring specialization of labor, coordination of resources and responsibility inevitably succumbs to the insidious creep of informal, but officially disavaowed structural networks of insiders.

it is especially pernicious for newcomers, who have been heavily messaged about "decentralization" or "structurelessness" and engage themselves with the groups identity without any awareness of these cryptic back channel networks that actually govern its operation. only after they are committed do they slowly find out there really is a hierarchy and a command structure.

i highly recommend a quick read for anyone considering the merits of a given groups' claims of being decentralized.

You know that there's more to the German social insurance system than public health insurance that you profit from now or later.

Yes, the U.S. has gone to great length to ensure the smooth operation of business. In fact you might say this is essentially the primary purpose of U.S. legal system. As an example, one researcher looked at all the Supreme Court cases involving the 14th amendment between 1870 and 1940. The 14th amendment as you'll recall is an amendment focused on the individual equal protections people have under the law. I cannot recall the figures exactly, but of some 100+ cases ~70% pertained to business and around a dozen were focused on violations of individual's rights.

Property rights are an especially important tool when it comes to the operation of a materially wealthy society. But their imposition does not somehow guarantee that a society is more just or fair and less corrupt than any other.

Edit: I looked up the figures in my notes. The paper involved all Supreme Court cases involving the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. The court struck down 232 state laws, 179 of the decisions were in favor of corporations, 55 were in favor of the growing railroads and 9 were in favor of individual black petitioners.

The paper isn't online and I don't have access to it anymore to check but I believe it is this paper.

Conviction and plea bargain rates. Most (>90%) people who are charged (in the US) end up with either a guilty verdict or a guilty plea. IIRC even the ones that don't plead out are ~90% conviction rate, at least at the federal level.

Doesn't jive at all with what we know of competence and bias levels observed in police and prosecutors in the US.

By a strict logical interpretation, execution by death penalty is not murder. Dictionary definition of murder:
"the _unlawful_ premeditated killing of one human being by another."
You’re right. The US has predictable rules and outcomes and very civilization-friendly laws. It also has the power to enforce law & order within its own borders.

By contrast, especially in Central Africa, the borders on the map are largely aspirational on the part of the governments. Even the word “Democratic” in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a bad joke. The dominant local power in most of that landmass is more likely to be a warlord/crime boss than the government.
If you think there's no free will, then how is it barbaric to execute people? No free will means the supporters of the death penalty didn't have a say in the circumstance that led to them supporting it, so there is no moral culpability to thinking some people should be executed. It's no more "barbaric" than thinking it's okay to kill rats and other pests for the good of society.

I think the main reason to end the death penalty is different: capital punishment is a very dangerous power for any nation to have over its inhabitants. Many of us are accustomed to living in stable democracies. Yet how easily and quickly could any of them become a totalitarian state or a reign of terror, where innocent people (especially activists and dissidents) are executed on false charges? Contemporary nations should not have the death penalty. If any nation legalizes it, that should serve as a canary to other nations that said nation is about to become an oppressive state with little appreciation for human rights.

Just look at the death penalty historically, even not too long ago, and how it was used in many now "civilized" countries to kill people for minor crimes. Or look at the contemporary world, at the countries that use capital punishment and the crimes they prescribe it for (even assuming they were prescribing it justly.) Aren't these countries themselves a good argument that it's best to err on the side of not having capital punishment at all, anywhere?

I think some criminals are truly awful and deserve to die for their heinous crimes. Yet it's simply too dangerous for any society to have the death penalty, even for these heinous crimes. As an intellectual, I'd be somewhat or very scared of living in any of the contemporary countries that have capital punishment (not to mention the ones that essentially allow street executions by the police. But that is another topic for another day...)
I program in Python by day. Racket is probably the language I know best after Python, then maybe Groovy. I've had exposure to R, C, C++, D, Java, Common Lisp etc, and I find it easier to pick up new languages due to my familiarity.

While Rust has all the constructs that I'm used to from these other programming languages, I find Rust to be the most difficult one for me to learn in recent memory. The documentation is great, the book is great, the tooling with Cargo is great, but after getting through the first 15 chapters in the Book I struggled to write a program that had any sort of complexity. Sure I can add a dependency super easily to my project, but figuring out what errors everything in the library throws takes a lot of work. Sometimes I get confused about using panic!, expect, unwrap, or ? when I'm writing my own functions or interfacing with others. Swimming through the myriad of traits on different structs is confusing, and I sometimes get tripped up passing closures. And don't get me started on Macros, with great shame, they still have not clicked for me, in Lisp, or in Rust. The language just feels very different from what I'm used to, and I've never had such a hard time getting code I've written to compile correctly. I'd be totally lost without all the help from the subreddit and the book, and I appreciate everyone who has helped me.

I know this will get easier... and it has. But it will take longer for me to get comfortably with Rust then it has for other programmings languages in the same time period. This is not to say that it's a bad language. I remember one day after having debugged a Python issue that ended up being a stupid logic error on my part I exclaimed "I wish I knew a programming language that would save me from myself". I think... Or rather I hope Rust is that language in the long term for me
I think the suggestion is that not having a death penalty reduces the harm of incorrect decisions
Not an expert in chip manufacturing but my guess is that they just disable the parts that don't work and their big numbers represent ~80% of the actual number of transistors in the wafer because they account for that manufacturing loss.
Well yes, this is the problem. The US legal system is great if you're dealing with massive amounts of money in the hopes of making more money.

Other aspects are much worse.

Also, most legal systems are generally good for this purpose, you just have to use your money judiciously in bribes instead of lawyer's fees.
Disabling parts of the chip? The secret sauce then is to make it defect-proof

I can think of two incentives for punishing this guy for no value: First, it will appear that they have “done something about it”, say, to their superiors. Second, some people also feel good if they can put someone down or enforce a loss on someone; It’s a stunted heuristic for them “winning”.

So there is very clear value in it. If the harm is disregarded.
Not once, but multiple times I've had police simply steal cash from me in the states. Not civil forfeiture, but the cash in a wallet disappears on it's way to where it's held temporarily, no crimes involved. And from rich areas like Boulder, CO.

I have not seen the lack of low level corruption in the states compared to other countries. Like in other countries they simply confine their corruption to those powerless to do anything about it.
