A lot of it seems to come down to a business decision: how large of a market demographic are we willing to piss off, and how badly? On one hand, if you name a new product after a Roman god, there are likely to be at least some people who are offended that you're using their deities name, but that's probably going to be a teensy amount of people. On another, if you name your new product "Pope Is A Dope", a pretty large chunk of your customer base is likely to take their business elsewhere.

So just purely from a business point of view, Amazon needs to evaluate how much they're willing to annoy evangelicals. It's very possible they've run the numbers and decided they're OK with this for all the reasons you state and more. I think it's also at least a little possible that it simply hadn't occurred to them that some people might not like the idea for religious reasons. If they launched their new "Zeus the Deuce" product and suddenly a few people people rose up and started writing op-eds and organizing boycotts over it, I'd expect someone to be pretty surprised. I think this might be along those lines.
Why does it only apply to real estate? It’s clearly a handout to real estate investors.
Well, I'm not sure why you need vim plugins for copy-pasting from the terminal, but I agree that it is more powerful. My point is that a lot of people don't need tmux/zellij because their terminal emulators provide much of the useful functionality.

I don't know how collateral on a mortgage on a ship this size works. But I am pretty sure even if they handed it to him, he couldn't do anything with it because it would have a Lein on it.

Your point still remains valid though.

In retrospect a 5.5kg front loader was a mistake for more than a couple of people in my experience.
I was wondering about this. My guess (just a guess) was that since he wants to still work in this industry, he was afraid that abandoning the ship would hurt his career? Either that, or he's just an incredibly responsible person.

This is a common statement about the vaccines currently being deployed. What is less common is that the expositor of this perspective has considered that the same is true of the virus itself.

Shingles afflicts people decades after they have recovered from chicken pox. I remember HIV treatments in the 90s that were thought to work until it was later discovered that the virus can hide in various organs and wreak havoc later.

Regardless of the comparisons to other pathogens, nobody today can make a credible claim about the impact a Covid infection will have on a person 20 years later.

As a society, the choice is crystal clear: vaccines that do not kill people today versus a virus that demonstrably overwhelms health systems, killing lots of people now. This is as close to an IQ test as it gets in public policy.

Idaho Senate OKs bill to kill up to 90% of wolves in state
1. Even if you spend another $3000/month on housing (ridiculous and unrealistic), that's just $36000 a year. That's far exceeded by the pay increase in the US.

2. There is a long long long distance between the average case and the worst case that you are describing, especially for engineers. Sharing a room with 3 people or living in a van is very very very far from the average case. Pretty much no engineer needs to do this. If they are, they are doing it to save to the max or doing something very wrong.

3. Same with health insurance. You don't need FAANG for good health insurance. 92% of people have health insurance. Granted, that is of varying quality but being uninsured is far from the average case.

My sense of the US vs. western Europe is that the US is quite a bit worse if you are in the bottom 30%, slightly better in the average case, and much better for the top 20%. And engineers easily make it into the top 20%. So perhaps the peace of mind is worth it since rock bottom is so awful in the US. But there still is a big difference between average and worst case, and the media hyper focuses on the worst case.

The problem with the death penalty is that it's a game that allows for no mistakes. Because the penalty is final, you can never apply that penalty to the wrong people.

You need to be 100% sure that you are about to execute the right person for the right reason every single time.

And there are very few cases where we can be that sure of something.
While made in jest and insincerely, your point is not entirely without merit. Technology has come a long way since the 1960’s, and will come further still in the future. Self-driving cars may never be a reality, but other forms of transport could be invented and constructed which were never previously feasible.

My children don't have a vaccine and the probably won't until 2022. They're going to depend on herd immunity to escape it and also the virus mostly sparing kids the worst outcomes.

If you're eligible and you still don't get the vaccine to protect the unlucky people who are still vulnerable, you're a truly worthless human being. Just die so we can be better off.
(I'm not the one who downvoted you, so have an upvote, but) I think they renamed their reference implementation to "Weston" to differentiate it from the Wayland spec/interface. Gnome implements its own, as does KDE, as does Sway. But I'm a simple person, and in my eyes even bare Weston is "good enough" in that "startx" sort of way...
Holy crap. So not even with a return to judicial sanity, or a sanction against the ship's owners, but with somebody else offering to be the scapegoat?

> But isn't "cheating" the norm in real-world jobs too? It's rare that I or any of the developers I work with complete a task without looking something up or asking a question of someone more knowledgeable.

One part of one my math exams in a previous university was (I feel like) modeled around this idea, where you were allowed to use a non-programmable (graphical) calculator and to bring basically any written material in to help yourself solve that part of the exam. Of course there were some restrictions: none of the solutions to the various homework assignments etc. That part alone for the ~2 hours of the whole exam would've been nice if there hadn't been the other half: no calculator, no helping materials apart from those maybe provided on the exam sheet. This part (of course) was the one containing the questions about specific definitions, one or more things to write a proof on and calculating things like double and/or triple integrals, deriving complicated expressions.

In other courses (Databases 1 and 2, Web Dev) at my 2nd/current uni with some specific professors there was a clause that you could bring with you help in the form of: "DIN A4 sheet paper, hand-writing on one side, non-copied" and the professor or the TA if one was present would pass through the rows during the exam to check the student ID, have the student sign a presence sheet and whether the help sheet was compliant (also if maybe there were some answers to the exam), signed that help sheet and would collect that together with the exam upon completion/timeout.

Although our course was only ~80-90 people at the start of my first and ~30 at the start of my current uni, so we had to be thrown together with some other disciplines/outlines ("Studiengänge" in Germany) for exams of the same courses to have an exam that made sense for everyone.
I get the problem with the guy who was there 20 years, but every project I have worked on has not made it to the end with the same engineers as those who started on the team.

They don't need to stay 20 years, but at least someone should still be there from beginning to end of a 5 year or even 2 year project.

Use a DP 1.4 switch: https://www.amazon.com/Angusplay-DisplayPort-Switch-Bidirect...

I tried ConnectPro's DP 1.4 KVM and the display blacked out constantly in MacOS. Friends who purchased the same KVM ran into the same issue with displays that push DP spec to the limit like 3440x1440@144.

The switch I shared works just fine. From time to time (once every 1-2 months maybe) the display blacks out for a second but a computer restart does the trick, or reconnecting cables. Also make sure to get HBR3 displayport certified cables.
I could not disagree with this position more than I do.

The police in the US are largely incompetent, it's true. Prosecutors and police regularly get things wrong, and what's worse yet is that it is often willfully so. They've far too much power, and the whole system needs to be overhauled, because it's rotten to the core.

That said: inaccuracy is not why the state should not murder people. Even if the system were replaced and could somehow become and remain provably 100% accurate, executing human beings is an abhorrent sentence.

There are certain inalienable rights that every human must attempt to preserve for every other human. Chiefly among them are a freedom from torture and freedom from being murdered by other human beings.

All other considerations are secondary. The moment we start treating human beings like objects and simply snuffing them out in response to perceived or adjudicated crimes, we become as a society no better than the common criminal. The fact that we have codified premeditated murder into law in some insane act of mental gymnastics will possibly be the thing that our so-called "civilization" will be judged most harshly upon come the verdict of history.

We have no claim to humanity or civilization whatsoever so long as we smite the life from living, thinking brothers and sisters at will, which is what a society having capital punishment has chosen to do with their system of law.

We hold these truths to be self-evident.
From a practical aspect a lot of benefits for death penalties:
1) Low cost. No need for jails and their associated costs
2) Great scaling. You can kill as many as you want, but you cannot build a jail every day
3) Safe. People don’t come back to repeat their mistakes.
4) It’s the only language that many criminals speak and understand.

The downsides are of a moral nature and twofold:

1) We should not punish innocent people. As societies we consider this as a huge and irrecoverable loss (What if we executed Einstein).
2) The state should not have the right to take the lives of its citizens. (Literally numerous examples from history why this can end up really bad)
Yeah that is the part I do not understand.

Isn't there a law at sea where if you find an abandoned ship, it is basically yours? Perhaps this law doesn't apply in Egyptian national waters?

If he is the legal guardian of the ship, why wouldn't he be able to just sell it for profit and move on? Was it just that there would be no buyer for it, even to scrap it? Or could there have been fines/liens on that ship such that no one would want to buy it? If that is the case it seems odd that he couldn't himself abandon the ship to the lien holders.
They certainly could. For instance, many of the still surviving bridges in Europe were built way before university degrees in architecture. I'll consider them cheaters because they didn't even attend a University! ;)

But there is another way to look at it: can all non-cheating students build bridges, design microprocessors or design rockets? I can give you an affirmative no.

From the article, he did sneak off the ship routinely after it ran aground some years later. He would sneak off, buy food and recharge his phone, then return to the ship for some bizarre reason.
The single rationale is perfectly fine.

If we had a magic oracle which supplies us with the absolutely correct guilty or not guilty verdict, there would be no problem with the death penalty.

Rust doesn't add anything that increases maintainability beyond memory safety. This is nice, but it's not even 1% of what maintenance work looks like. Maintaining a decades old code base means adding features without blowing up the beast. This involves: (1) digging through the code to find the area that does something close to the new feature, (2) trying to understand what is going on, (3) figuring out the style of it for conformity, and (4) slapping that bad boy in.

Of these, (4) is by far the easiest part and the only one Rust will help you in. The digging for understanding is far more time consuming. The other parts require art, discipline, and linters.

I've noticed the debate around (de)centralization always seems to focus on purely technical issues, or on economic issues (which are technicalities of another sort). In other words, it's always the following two points that are debated:

1. Economies of Scale

2. Network Properties (robustness, scalability, latency, etc.)

It seems to me that a crucial element is missing from these analyses: organizational policy. All other things being equal (which they may not be), it seems like decentralization appeals to those trying to restrict top-down control. Historically, this has been an ideological thing (e.g. bittorrent's copyleft slant), but more recently I've seen mainstream endorsement of concepts such as "flat hierarchy", "distributed workforce", "collaborative work", etc. Interestingly, I don't see this discourse being picked up by decentralization evangelists, and I'm not sure what to make of that.

Off the cuff, it seems like decentralized storage tech has a compelling story to tell about small distributed teams, working in a loose, peer-to-peer organizational structure. In this context, my mind immediately goes to the functional centralization of cloud storage. In general, the Cloud tries to concentrate control over computing resources in a single department (i.e. the devops team). But what happens when a bunch of freelancers collaborate on a project-by-project basis? From what I've seen, either (1) they use cloud providers, but the account is under the client's name or (2) they use some kind of SaaS solution with support for sharing or other forms of collaboration. With decentralized storage, it seems like a "bring your own cloud" approach is possible in principle, where these freelancers would pool resources (storage, compute, etc.). Are there any pain-points here? Is there perhaps a business problem that needs solving?

The question for me is whether these new patterns of collaboration are really becoming a thing, or whether it's a fad amongst business-school graduates.

At any rate, this comment is an invitation for y'all to opine on the subject. I feel like a good analysis of organizational policy could help us decide whether a decentralized web is economically viable, but I'm kinda stumped.
Isn't what we've learned over the last half-century or so that processing food in an attempt to make it more nutritious/uniform/etc. generally involves a reductive analysis of the value of the food and in doing so destroys most of the actual nutrient value?

Pretty much.

I had a boss who was very sanctimonious about her lunches. She would hover over other people and say, "I never eat processed foods."

Then she'd put a fake chicken patty in the microwave and slather it with vegan mayonnaise.

I've found that the louder someone is about their eating habits, the less likely it is that they use logic to choose their food.

In fairness, real-company SLAs also tend to be hand-wavy. People like to pretend it's "they'll never be down more than X" or "if they're ever down more than X they'll give us a refund", but it's usually more like "the service provider said that it didn't count because only one part of their service was 'degraded', and after we threatened to take them to court they threw us a $13 discount'".
That was only after it ran aground. The article says that before that, he was anchored, presumably far enough out that he had no way to get to shore.

In the article it states that he started swimming to shore only after the ship had run aground a few hundred meters from the shore. So the question remains, how did he sustain himself beforehand? Did the ship have years worth of supplies for him on board?
The data I've seen agrees with you, but it's subject to survivor-ship bias, and I've never seen someone correct for that bias in a convincing way.

Under current US tax law the original value of an asset is rebased upon death. Thus, you can borrow against an asset, such as stocks, and then your heirs can repay the loan immediately after your death and pay zero capital gains.

This only costs you the interest of the loan and exposes you to the risk of declining value in the assets securing the loan. Appreciation of the assets or dividends may fully offset the interest or more.

Additionally if you a founder, for example, you retain the influence/control of your company that you derive from the stock ownership, while still be able to enjoy their cash value.

> but not being able to just rip a drive out and mount it on another machine in a pinch makes me damn nervous

Why can't you? Granted, you need enough disks to actually have all the data - so ex. if you did RAID0 then yes you need all disks, but say if you did a mirror you can totally just yank a disk out, attach it to another machine, and `zpool import` it.
(edit: removed. guess I was wrong. it does make it even more incredible that someone involved with that much sequencing could make such a claim.)
That also makes it really easy to concatenate them, either `cp a.yaml + b.yaml c.yaml` or just `cat a.yaml >> b.yaml` - which is quite nice, compared to trying to do this with JSON etc... files.

On the contrary, the death penalty is vastly under-applied. Crimes deserving of the death penalty should be tried rapidly, within weeks, and the guilty party hanged no more than a month and a half, two months after their crime. I'm ok with up to a 10% false execution rate, after Blackstone's Ratio.

I think death penalty should be abolished for all crimes except mass murder. There was a killer in Norway that murdered something close to 70 people 8 or 9 years ago. Thanks to maximum sentences in Norway being 18 years or so, the guy will be walking free in another 9 years time. I'm sorry, but some people just want to watch the world burn and those people should be put down.
