Well, punitive generally means make them suffer, which likely counteracts progress towards rehabilitation.

If you can accept "comprehending and accepting your crimes and their consequences, and having a genuine desire to return to society as a member of it looking to make a positive contribution" as punishement then they are compatible.

But you want to transition somebody psychologically from being in the out-group "criminals" to re-joining the in-group of law-abiding citizens, and most purely punitive measures actively make a person feel further pushed into the out-group.

You want strong incentives and support towards positive re-integration. I always thought that repeat offences ought to be the most damning statistic for prisons, and their performance and budget should mostly be influenced by success on that metric.

Profit from holding prisoners and their labour are basically negative incentives to improve the repeat offending rates.
The gym I went to had almost exclusively very fit people, who obviously exercised a lot.

When I started out I was fairly overweight and completely out of shape, could barely do a couple of pushups, and I felt very uncomfortable and out of place.

However the others just did their programs, and I never got any looks or comments. So after a while I managed to relax and just get on with my own stuff.

I am reading the same 'new tech hype' articles again and again.
Very prominent on battery tech.
These articles create unjustified hype by focussing on a few promising test results under lab conditions with prototypes.
What they fail to mention are all other factors that contribute to a succesful new technology. Like just as examples, scalability, robustness, promise of ease of mass production, raw compound price, safety as good or better then proven tech, compatibility with the market standard.

There were literally hundreds of exactly those articles I read or skimmed through in the past, none of them made it to mass market.
It's almost as if there might be an underlying scam that produces these research hypes to grab investor money or something. Until the real problems are adressed, or looked at and then the research ceases.

I mean I really hope there are some leaps in battery technology soon, as many do, because it does not hold up at all to moore's law as it is kind of needed for mobile devices to progress as fast as silicon or other advancements.
I just don't care for misleading articles anymore :)

I don't want to trivialize what the author is feeling, but when the conclusion they draw is...

> Because they have never been poor, they had no idea what I might do. Why would I steal, when everyone clearly has enough? What even is scarcity? Why drink yourself to death tonight when there’s another sponsored event a week from now? Why eat like there will never be enough, when there has always been more than enough?

...I think it's worth discussing whether they may have misidentified the real root cause.

> We're extremely unsure how often abiogenesis happens

Lacking any credentials on the subject whatsoever, and based on what (little) I know about abiogenesis, intuition tells me it happens with a probability of 1, if (and here's the key) the conditions are right, and given enough time. (A fun corollary of this is that intelligent life also happens with a probability of 1, under proper conditions [1]).

So, we just need to find how many planets have had the right conditions for a long enough period of time.

[1] p(abiogenesis)=1 + "evolution is a universal law" => p(intelligent_life)=1
I grew up poor and now live and work around "never been poor" folks. Classism 100% exists. The thing that I noticed most folks can't grasp is the appreciation for the small things and the security they have.

I find that people who have never experienced being poor are often lacking in both humility and "can do" attitudes.

For me, not being wealthy is a feature, not a bug. I realize I'm speaking from a place of privilege now, though.
I really like your explanation, which I find easier to understand. I do appreciate your "real-life" AST example, making clear that your are making a better design through the typing system facilities.
I see it as business enabling this part of the rehabilitation.

I lived for years a few miles from a federal penitentiary, I had friends who worked inside. The picture I have is that prison jobs are good and sought after by the inmates. (Versus eternal boredom.)

It's better for the jobs to be meaningful than meaningless, as make-work projects would inevitably be. This is not a broken system, there are no credible politicians or officials calling for change.
I would say that having individual pictures of teachers make sense as those are the people students have most personal contact with. Now the other administrative staff and cafeteria ladies should be at same level.

yeah, like if your playing keys live for example, you want your audio interface to have around 6ms latency max (the delay time between your finger pressing a key and you hearing the sound from pressing that key) above that and it starts to become detrimental to your playing. above 10 and you can barely play.
Yea I mostly agree. For example not greeting cleaning lady has nothing to do with being rich or poor. It is just manners and some of us do it and some don't.
The startup I worked for had Spanish speaking cleaning staff. I even brushed up my Spanish to greet them - the smiles on their faces are with me to this day. It wasn't what I was going for but I'm happy that it had this effect.

> They were right about some of that. QE didn't have any noticeable impact on employment, and although general inflation didn't see much impact (if any), asset inflation went through the roof.

They were right about none of it. QE wasn't primary aimed at employment: that was what the stimulus was for. Except, in the US, the GOP deficit hawks insisted it be watered down.

> I see the following scenario: a weak stimulus plan, perhaps even weaker than what we’re talking about now, is crafted to win those extra GOP votes. The plan limits the rise in unemployment, but things are still pretty bad, with the rate peaking at something like 9 percent and coming down only slowly. And then Mitch McConnell says “See, government spending doesn’t work.”

* https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/06/stimulus-arithm...

And when these folks were talking about "inflation" they were referring to CPI and the risk of Wiemar Germany, not assets. And I wish people would stop using "asset inflation", as it muddies the waters wit regards to what "inflation" means, and there's already another term:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_bubble

And the reason why assets are going up is because there are "excess" savings: a bunch of money sitting around doing nothing because there's not much spending. Japan has been in this situation since the mid- to late-1990s:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_stagnation

Perhaps someone should start spending so the money is being used for something besides earning interest on interest.

> The currency didn't depreciate relative to other currencies, but is that because it held its value or because other currencies were also QEing their way out of the recession?

So basically another prediction by the inflationists was a no-op.
I grew up very wealthy and it is what it is. I read that list and some parts of it make me sad and some make me laugh. There's been times I've been that asshole, and times I've not been. Some of the things are very American - like the teeth thing which is basically the ultimate American neurosis. We were rich but I didn't want someone messing with my perfectly useful teeth.

There's no point being overly defensive about these things. People with all kinds of life experience can learn from each other.
I have this issue too. As a youth I had a stutter and insecurity issues, which fell away when I realized my intellect was going to get me the hell away from the hick state I found myself. Through bravado and incredible luck, I managed to get a Harvard education - but while there nearly every single one of these insecurity issues cited in the article had a variation in my experience while attending Harvard. And after Harvard, I am barely and not really a member of the Harvard Network, primarily due to insecurity back then and being afraid to expose myself as not really being a Harvard Guy but some imposter hick.

Unfortunately that explanation is too simplistic. You laugh while you mock someone and they're disturbed by that. We also have many cases of gangs beating up random people while laughing.

We have phrases like "laughing at you" where the default assumption is negative, not positive.

If laughter communicates "I wanna play", then laughing while someone is afraid, or sad, or disturbed actually communicates something very sinister: "I wanna play, and you're my toy".

I suspect this angle is why in horror movies seeing playing children in odd contexts, or creepy dolls, or phrases like "wanna play a game" in Saw and so on is so effective. There's nothing more dehumanizing than realizing you're a plaything in the hands of a higher power that has zero regard for you as a life.

I don't use the Lightning network because although I am pretty knowledgeable in how Bitcoin works, I've never had enough time to dive deeper into Lightning. Also, I expect it to be more cumbersome for my clients who are generally less technically knowledgeable.

I use direct on-chain transfers. Since it's usually not a major share of revenue, I don't care much about price volatility - prices go up and down all the time. I quote in USD, and clients send amounts at current conversion rates. Over time, it averages out.

The transfer fee is strictly less than international wire transfer. The transfer is fast, no-hassle, and also all clients are able to send the money all the time. If you live beyond the first-world countries, from my experience it is pretty common that some minor banks are not able to send money to some other minor banks in other countries, and you never know beforehand, and lose a lot of time on that.

Exactly my thoughts. This person just wants to make herself feel good about victimizing herself. Justifying unhealthy behaviour and habits by being poor earlier in her life? Come on. Yes, some of her colleagues seem to be on the other extremes, but many of her examples are just ridicolous. Eg: adult soccer leagues are one of the cheapest activities I can think of, besides running (which is also done by "rich" people).

I'm also coming from a poor family and area, and I also had a few revelations, but nothing like this. My very first of these experiences was at a company paid dinner, where the waiters rolled out a trolley of beverages next to our a table and went away for a couple of minutes. I joked to my colleagues at the table that we could just steal that trolley and nobody would notice it. Nobody laughed, of course and I realised that at that point in my life I could buy a truck of those beverages on my hourly wage. That was nearly 3 months into my career and I just moved on right away.

I was aware of MAME but not the separate history of MESS or that it included any classic mac emulation. I know first hand that nether Basillisk2 nor minivmac emulate ADB properly, and therefore various software that requires low level ADB access does not run. The article specifically mentions ADB so this could fill quite a gap, all thanks to the low level approach that is so important to emulating the quirks of this era of machines.

I must say I was rather triggered by that statement. I'm 100% sure that at one point my earnings were much lower than hers and I wasn't "a fat body". I had a second hand road bike that consisted of many different parts and I loved that thing, I've put thousands of kilometers on that old frame. And guess what, I still use it to this day, even though I could buy a fancy new one.

As a matter of fact, not having a lot of money only emphasizes the fact that your health is one of the things you can influence.

Business and/or First class do not make up for the jetlag.

I had this near mythical idea of flying business class, but when I finally joined a company that actually had me fly in it, I was sorely dissapointed.

I mean, it’s definitely better than flying economy, but you’re still stuck in a pressurized tube for 10+ hours.
First/business class is not miserable, but it’s also not relaxing. For a three day trip, spending a whole day of it in airports or on a plane is not at all relaxing, no matter what class you’re flying. Personally, I draw the line at a week for non-business travel to Europe, and two weeks for Asia.
If you're poor but also have tech skills and are in the bay area, I would recommend working at a public tech company for a while first - then you're no longer poor and can afford to work at a risky startup.

That's all I could think about when reading this post.

edit: Maybe the point of the post was not losing touch with reality or becoming an ass to people when you start making money (which I can agree with), but they also came off a bit self-righteous to me.
Online conference. Passenger transport: driving the industry with telematics
Just say no to the gym, go out to a nearby forest and exercise there. A friend of mine (who I used to go jogging with) did that. He always found a suitable tree branch and that's all he needed for pull-ups. All other exercises can be done in nature too. It's gonna be healthier and cheaper, I assure you.
I wouldn't consider myself poor or having grown up poor. I identify with many of the points on this list. I make less than many of my coworkers and my career has stagnated. I sometimes wonder if it has to do with this cultural gap. It seems like it's usually the people with an expensive image that are the ones who get promoted. Meanwhile I'm doing basically anything to save money and trying to leave work on time so I can watch the kid while my wife goes to work in the evening.

No problem. Doesn't really matter. I wasn't absolutely sure either. It may have been that at the times some support has been available in the beginning, but one could only netboot it, also only in -current. Since I've been lazy then I avoided tracking that. Later on it may have been better, but since I've riced the Debian sufficiently I probably didn't bother anymore. Even more later I moved on physically and gifted all that non-X86 stuff away anyways.
They. I kept seeing the word "they", and wondering about it. Was it really every single person in the company that thought you were joking about your GED, or was it a handful that you told?

Germany is about 35% reincarceration rate after 3 years, and US is about 29%,

Although there are strong caveats, and like for like data doesn't exist. After 5 years US rate goes up a lot, my link doesn't have that for Germany.

> Recidivism rates vary significantly around the world, and many countries have insufficient data. Rates of criminal recidivism around the world are reported to be as high as 50% and have not declined in recent years. It is challenging to compare recidivism between countries because definitions of recidivism outcomes vary from re-arrest to reoffending to reimprisonment. Within these definitions, countries differ in their inclusion of misdemeanors, fines, traffic offenses, and other crimes. Additionally, follow-up times (period after release from incarceration) are inconsistent between and within jurisdictions and vary between six months and five years.
