If they've got his passport and he can't leave the only option is Egypt. I expect he thought of that and they refused.

ETA: I've read a few of these articles over the last year. There have been many similar cases because of covid. It seems to be completely normal practice for countries to refuse visas to ships' crew.
Maybe you could provide a link to the referenced paper... I'd rather not register on FT.com just to read this article.
Having said all of that, I do agree that there are many programs where Rust's defaults don't add a lot of value, and it would be nice to have access to shared garbage-collected data without the syntax overhead of Arc<Mutex<T>> or crossbeam_epoch.

I really like the discussion on resource types vs data types in this essay on higher-level rust-inspired languages: https://without.boats/blog/revisiting-a-smaller-rust/

Nobody knows what happened. Last night someone posted on twitter that google.com.ar was not working, then another one posted a screenshot from the Argentinean domain provider highlighting that the domain was registered by a random guy. Few hours later google.com.ar started working again, probably a single phone call from Google resolved the issue.
So granted the durability and availability is better than centralized solutions, you'd go with the distributed/decentralized solution?

If that's the case, I think you could argue that open source and distributed solutions are much easier to make more reliable than centralized solutions. With a centralized solution, you're stuck with trusting their reliability or implement some reusable API (or use some 3rd party's API that abstract that away, introducing more error surface) so you can also store the data in multiple places with the same API.

Or, you can just use a open source decentralized solutions and run it locally geographically, hosted on dedicated servers and "in the cloud" (meaning other users who host it) with the same API without really caring about _where_ the files are, just _which_ files you need.

And that's the beauty of content-addressable networks like many of these are. It doesn't really matter where the data is as long as you know what data you need. That makes it easier to provide reliability for yourself, not harder.

Once you dig down in the details and compare them both carefully, I think you can make sound arguments both ways, it's not as black & white as you make it. Ultimately it depends on one's use case.
And the social distancing. It's not just about your coworkers, but about all the people they interact with. Each of you is still seeing each other, but (presumably) seeing far fewer other people.

The protective measures you're each taking reduces the chance that the entire crew will get what any one of you gets. But I think the big win is likely the herd immunity wherein each of you has a lower chance of bringing it in to the office in the first place. We've all collectively reduced the R below 1 for a lot of things, and that has an exponentially beneficial effect in exactly the same way that having R above 1 was so dangerous.
The article names 2019 as when he totally ran out of fuel. I assume there were previously enough rations on board (it was stocked for an entire crew before being abandoned), and perhaps he made a deal with the visiting guard to bring food.
There already is unconscious bias. You can see the student's name, their penmanship, their writing style, you likely know who they are, etc. An oral exam just changes things by changing the bias to accent, inflection, annunciation, skin tone, dress, etc.
> I'd rather the burden of justification be the other way: what does the death penalty actually achieve, with a high burden of proof (beyond reasonable doubt) that as a policy it actually benefits society as a whole.

In the past: societal self-defence.

Older prisons were not as secure, and so the risk of dangerous people escaping was high(er). If they got out they could do more harm to innocent people. This is less of an issue in modern developed countries which have pretty secure buildings now, especially for those classified as the most dangerous.

This may be less true in other countries where prison you may hear about prison breaks, with or without external help:

Same. I help put deals together with some experience in SE Asia. The ability to enforce contract and property rights in the US, with ready access to the courts and relatively clear rules, sets the US apart in terms of business efficiency and predictability. In my assessment, it's a large part of what's made the US so prosperous. In contrast, dealing with corrupt officials in smaller countries in SE Asia is just wild.

Arguably the USA should be granting all those same levels of appeal to someone NOT sentenced to death too.

If 4% on death row are innocent, despite all the extra appeals and proceedings we grant them, how many people serving life are innocent?

The idea that America is imprisoning innocents left and right but it's fine because at least they're not being executed is twisted to me. I would marginally prefer being alive to being imprisoned for life, but the latter is pretty terrible too.
I have a personal theory that the correlation between the popularity of religious fundamentalism and the presence of popular support for the death penalty in southern US states has a common underlying cause.

There seems to be a certain draw of the Sodom and Gomorrah treatment in some people that draws a straight line from modern day human culture in those places directly back to ancient desert folktales through all these thousands of years. Perhaps it is the belief that actions undertaken in the here-and-now aren't ultimately that important, a sort of cosmic nihilism with regards to the physical reality we live in.

We still have so, so far to go.

Looking at the WJP Rule of Law Index linked above, it's considering factors like constraints on government powers, absence of corruption, and fundamental rights.

As someone involved in law in the US, the US is really good at these types of things. People, including Americans who have lived here their entire lives, are consistently amazed when they learn the power of the court and how functional it all has managed to be.
Considering the state of the US economy over the last 20 years, that's exactly what's needed. You can peddle this idea in countries that are struggling to find investors. It certainly makes sense in economies that are prone to high inflation.

How the Founders of Swell Learned to Tell Their Story and Raise Their Seed Round
Whatever rationalizations people make, I think ultimately, a belief that some people are evil is what the death penalty hinges on. I don’t believe in free will, thus I don’t believe in moral culpability, this I don’t believe in evil.

From that vantage point it seems extremely barbaric to me to put anyone to death. They had no say in the circumstances that led up to who they became. I have similar feeling when I think of severely mentally disabled people being executed, which a lot of people probably share even if they do believe in free will.
Sorry if I wasn't clear - GP's thesis was that white men are overrepresented in senior positions _because_ they can more easily "fight back" and "be open" than others. In other words, they still believe in meritocracy, it's just that white men are afforded the chance to be more meritorious.

I'm disputing that thesis based on my experience. You don't need to be vulnerable or "be open" at all - you just need to be part of the in-group. I know "Senior Director of Engineering" who had no clue what the hell was going on. They never spoke up in meetings, or did anything useful at all - it was clear to everyone they added no value whatsoever. Turns out they were just floating from startup to startup moving up in seniority in the process. Presumably, nobody bothered to question them during the interview process as it was assumed they were "competent" based on their background and past positions.
Why is it Tesla's responsibility to defend the world against idiots? I'm pretty sure the Bart Simpson's of the world have been able to set cruise control and get in the back seat for decades.

The problem I have with Tesla is their mixed messaging: Overstating the capabilities of Autopilot (or FSD) when it suits their marketing efforts and then discounting those same systems as "under development" when they fail or are misused. It's not surprising that people get confused.

It takes gall to sell "Full Self-Driving" as an option for the past 5 years and have so little to show for it. I'm amazed there hasn't been more blowback from buyers.
Booting from zoned device on btrfs is not supported, the 0th zone contains the super block and the boot loader data are before any superblock so updating them would require reset and complete rewrite of the live data in the zone.

The 'sparse file file not found' is caused by grub, it would try to overwrite file blocks directly, but on btrfs it would cause checksum mismatch. This has been solved by storing the env block outside of the filesystem at 256K and synced back and forth once the system is booted. 256K is ok as btrfs does not use the first 1M on any device for bootloaders.
Something being useless is a desirable quality for a currency, and gold, in addition to several other traits, was an optimal material specifically because of how useless it historically was. Where gold was used, it was for displaying wealth, for example in decorations and jewelry.

Compare say steel - if your currency was based on steel, which historically was quite valuable because of its utility and difficulty in production, that means either perfectly good steel that could be used for tools that generate wealth is sitting useless in the form of coins, or people are smelting down the currency to make tools. And if your coinage derives its value from the utility of the material, what happens when someone develops a superior alloy, or figures out a cheaper production method? Do you stunt technological and economic growth to prevent hyperinflation?

Nowadays gold has some niche industrial uses, but these uses are in competition with using gold as a store of value, which remains gold's dominant price driver by a wide margin, and thus you have, for example, artificially high prices on certain electronics that require gold.

They have a compositor named Weston, yes, but then what is libwayland, on which Gnome (and others) depend?

Wikipedia:

> Wayland is a communication protocol that specifies the communication between a display server and its clients, as well as a C library implementation of that protocol.

That's the C library also named Wayland and made by the people guiding the Wayland spec on which Gnome depends, no? Or are there three things going by the name Wayland, one of them not actually associated with the Wayland project?

"uptime" is such a weird concept when talking about decentralized networks as they are local-first and also build with many peers. And which "uptime" is being referred to here, read or write? If it's write, fees have definitely spiked at points to make it mostly useless for most people "using" it, but you can technically still write to it. And read is just always available as long as you have a copy of the data somewhere.

I have no idea why you would think that. The maximum sentence is 21 years, they much is true, but that doesn't mean he will be released. There will be extensive psychological evaluations and the sentence can be extended indefinitely if Breivik is still considered a danger to society.

This seems honestly like something you would read on a far-right conspiracy website about what a liberal hellhole Europe is.
It's real hard to tell as a non-Egyptian trying to Google enough case law to understand it, but the best I can figure is that the precedent is based upon the assumption that the ship's owner has interest in how the ship fares while the ship is arrested. Ostensibly, the requirement of custodianship should be protecting the interests of the owner... But since the owner could sue Egypt if their ship is damaged while it is kept in the country's care, Egypt mandates someone the owner designates stand watch.

... but, of course, that whole arrangement is predicated on the assumption the owner cares, at all, about the fate of the ship or its crew. Which is, perhaps, a philosophical throwback to a time when ships were the entire livelihood of a town and not assets that multinational corporations own hundreds of.
This looks to me like the controllers are sometimes badly implemented.

I have a HP ProBook with a USB-C/DP output that I plug into an LG monitor with a USB hub. The hub works in USB2 mode + 4K@60Hz (as advertised by LG). This has worked consistently for me for more than two years, using Arch Linux + X11. Sleep, plug, unplug whenever I like, it just works. It seems to also work fairly consistently when colleagues plug in their Windows laptops (also HP).

I also have a HP EliteDesk with a Thunderbolt + USB-C / DP port. This is a shitshow. The same LG monitor works every time for BIOS and such when connected through USB-C.

Installing Windows works. The Windows logon screen sometimes shows up, but not reliably. The Windows desktop has only ever worked once. This same setup usually works with Linux/X11. But after a display sleep, it sometimes figures it can only do 4K@30Hz. Sometimes it chooses some other random resolution. If I unplug it a number of times, it may end up working again. Maybe. Or maybe not. Sometimes I have to reboot. Which may or may not solve the issue.

Plugging in a thunderbolt display (Apple) works more often. But if the screen goes to sleep, there's a good chance it will wake up with some ridiculous resolution, like 1280x720. It's impossible to change it. If the computer goes to sleep or if the monitor is unplugged, it's game over. The screen will never come back again unless I do a cold boot (turn off & on, reboot won't do).

I keep hearing people complaining about macbooks being unreliable with external screens. I wonder if it isn't the same kind of issue with a broken controller implementation somewhere. I've never had the slightest issue with external screens on my 2013 MBP (15" with nvidia dGPU). Thunderbolt, 4k@60Hz, you name it, it works. Plug / unplug when it's running, when it's sleeping, whatever, it just works as expected.

> Yeah I don't understand what value there is here in assigning it to the crew member who apparently can't decline?

The article doesn't state it really explicitly but I believe he was able to decline but maybe not aware of when that decision would need to be made - specifically this passage here:

> "I can't force a judge to remove the legal guardianship," a representative [of the shipping company] told us. "And I can't find a single person on this planet - and I've tried - to replace him."

> Mohammed, they said, should never have signed the order in the first place.

It sounds like he signed a thing without fully understanding the ramifications of it - some eygptian official might have pulled a sneaky to trick him into signing it without full knowledge of the consequences or he may have simply acted unwisely but, either way, I'd hold the shipping company completely at fault for letting this situation develop - they had options to replace him (for instance, one of the actual owners could've stepped up and owned their error), or provided clear guidance and legal advice to the crew members.

The fact that the captain GTFO'd before any of this really started to go down really reinforces that this guy was left holding the short end of the stick and the company itself is pretty insanely slimy for not, at least, attempting to continue to support him.

> DNSCurve is something different from DNSSEC.

Yes, I know. I was contrasting their use of crypto and the degree to which they fit traditional name server architectures.

> The "wrapping" and "unwrapping" in DNSCurve is done by a forwarder, a separate server

Whether the wrapping is done on a [reverse] forwarder or integrated into the authoritative name server is entirely irrelevant. (Perhaps you were thinking of the querier, which would be even more irrelevant from the perspective of root and TLD servers.)

I like DNSCurve. But I was contesting the point that DNSCurve was effectively zero cost. It definitely is not zero cost, neither in terms of CPU nor operationally. The cost may be de minimis in most contexts, but root and TLD zones are certainly the exception.
I can imagine that! In my university, we insisted on having the sheets be handwritten, which (at least) acted as a dampner.
OK, so you don't believe in "evil", but you believe in "barbaric".

I believe that determinism and free will are entirely compatible. An algorithm has free will. More complicated algorithms have a more nuanced, richer free will. That's it.

For instance, a coin-operated machine that gives you a bag of potato chips in exchange for a dollar has a form of free will. It does that because it wants to. It is just not capable of telling itself it wants to do anything else; it's a low grade form of free will encompassing a tiny number of states.

(Killing evil is basically just terminating a buggy algorithm. If you don't like the baggage associated with "evil", maybe "defective" or "buggy" is better.)

The question of free will and determinism is made complicated by the possibility that a deterministic free will (algorithm) operates in a world that isn't deterministic. Suppose that your mind is an algorithm which will make exactly the same decision for the same inputs (including, of course, its own state: that's one of the inputs). Even if you get your mind to be in exactly the same state as when a certain decision had been made, you also need the world to be in exactly the same state. Only then is the algorithmic mind guaranteed to think the same thing and make the decision.

The world has so many states, and so does the mind, that the question of whether you are algorithmic or not makes practically no difference. Even if you are a FSM, your state space is so large, you will never be in the same state twice -- just due to the fact alone that you have life long memories that are are still accumulating, for one thing. And if you could rewind exactly a previous state, the surrounding world will not; and that has an even vaster state space.
