I think you’re getting downvotes for the statement “never been shown”. It’s an overly broad claim, and even the link you posted talks more about the severity of punishment being a weaker deterrent than the certainty of being caught (and punished). There’s still no doubt that if theft was suddenly not punished at all then there would be more theft.

From other reading I’ve done the consistency of punishment is more important, and it’s better for criminal justice systems to provide a certain small punishment than an inconsistent outsized punishment, and this has a lot to do with the way humans evaluate risks, and improved paths towards helping criminals becoming non-criminals.

Anyway, I learned a bit from the link you posted, mostly that this sort of thinking is mainstream enough to be presented like this by the DoJ. So have my upvote.
Mimestream looks very impressive! I will be sure to give it a try.
OK someone explain the downvotes?
There are more things that come in to play, such as the resolution that X11 thinks your display has. Just zoom the page in. What’s important is the relative sizes of things on the page, not how big the page looks.
Reducing the actions of people to objects or "simpler organisms" is rarely a helpful concept. Often people are much more complicated than our reductions of them.
There is such a button.

Like I said, everyone I've seen complain so far, always turn out to not even want to learn basic stuff.
Lol, my little project is scratching the same itch. I also wanted a easy way to get a clean state to start the day / next section of a day.

Since I focus on todos, I wrote a editor which creates a new section (as your daily script) and copies over all unfinished entries.

Symbol interposition? I don't know for sure, but I would guess gVisor is using ptrace or another mechanism, to interpose on syscalls, not library calls. But these flags, I believe, only impact interposition of symbols in the same library, so even if gVisor did use interposition for something, it may not matter.
Security is another factor in choosing not to use a database for things like queues. I like to keep access to the database as tight as possible. I don’t want to start dishing out network and account access to services just because they need a queue or a distributed lock. I could run a separate database instance but that’s worse than just running Redis.
Well…yeah!

Religion serves a function. Even if that function is psychological.

When you take religion away, something else will fill the utility-gap.

Silly humans failing to grasp the purpose of stories/narratives.

Edit for the downvoters (who clearly don’t understand): the question “Why do science and philosophy matter?” has only religious/ideological answers.
I built a small (borderline trivial) script that I put at ~/bin/update on my regular user account on every server. Its purpose is to do whatever I’ve decided is most appropriate to keep that server up-to-date.

For most Debian-based servers, it’s approximately:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
uname -a
prompt me to hit y if I want to reboot that server now. (This is what uname is for: to orient me to where that window is connected to prevent downing a server I don’t want to.)

This pattern means I can customize it for any given server without having to remember what/why for each. (This context is for my home network; I don’t claim that this is a great practice for production workloads, but it’s nice and handy for my home network.)
Indeed, not all animal trials are valid in humans, and your skepticism is warranted.

In the rest of the video he discusses how it affects human health, along with the data to support that assertion.

It's seed/vegetable and hydrogenated oils that are bad for you and are correlated with obesity, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

Coconut oil, olive oil and butter are fine.
Pypy is not a drop-in replacement for CPython. It does not support many libraries that rely on C extensions, and targets a slightly older version of the language.
That isn't true if you mean in terms of achieving the classic American dream… Canada, Germany, the Netherlands and others are moving more people out of lower/middle class to middle/upper class as a percentage. I do not know in terms of raw numbers but via % we are behind.
That seems like a silly standard, but do you.
I did something similar for the Walgreens website for my mother when vaccines were new and appointments were hard to come by, it worked pretty perfectly and we were able to schedule her an appointment shortly after she was eligible.

Though, somewhat humorously, very soon afterward eligibility was expanded to everyone in my state and vaccination appointments were much easier to find.
Very cool. When I was travelling around Canada I also wanted a sms 2 api gateway.

3G/4g data was expensive and reception limited. But sms was free and unlimited, and more widely available.
People feel the urge to label some one, group, or idea, as bad. I get around this by accepting that I am bad. It helps me see the best in everyone else, and makes me hold myself to really high standards. It is sometimes unpleasant though.

It's probably some sort of natural calibration process.
> I think there are registers in people's minds that are simply occupied.

I think this is the case, anecdotally I noticed that if you are a sports fan, then the "us versus them" rhetoric works much less, or at least less than you'd expect in such people.

At least for domestic politics, that's because you already get your dose of "us versus them" from some other domain in your life.

Same for religion which is the main topic covered in the article:

People who are religious are less likely to fall prey of cults.

Religious people are less likely to elevate "false prophets" such as actors, musicians, rockstars and also the new phenomenon represented by technoutopian cult leaders such as Elon Musk or Elizabeth Holmes.
Not OP, but I read the "antagonistic" style of the post as just the usual catharsis humor. All in-jest. I've used that style of writing plenty before. It's a good way to blow off the steam of working with these rather absurd, archaic systems that we have to tackle on a daily basis. Programming can feel a bit kafkaesque at times, so a bit of aggressive/dark humor goes a long way.

But I do agree, it felt too thick. Still a very interesting topic regardless.
In part the solution I would point to is the same that is often said by parents in how one get well adapted children. Provide social support and introduce hobbies. They are not a silver bullet for everyone, but it catches a significant larger portion than stereotypical gender roles.

We can also draw inspiration from the cultural change that we have seen for women. How often do you see in movie a person say to a woman "Are you happy? Is this really what you want...". Lifting personal motivation as an actually question is a early good step towards making people think about it.

There seems to also be a possible error in how people perceive the problem. In the absent of video games you would not suddenly get motivation. Even if you would throw them out on the street with no money, food or shelter, the result would not be a sudden aspiration to become what society expect men to be.

Finding what motivate oneself can either be done through the help by others, or alone. It not as much of a question about what is easier as all hobbies are more work than no hobby at all.
What a condescending and misanthropic view of people. So we're just paramecia with "registers" waiting for occupation.

As with anything, I think the real answer is much more nuanced.

1) This article is making the case that this behavior is universal, when there is no evidence of that. As always has been, there are subsects of any ideology that are ravenous in their dogma. They are always the loudest and get the most attention, because their actions are so extreme. It's selection bias by the media, who (wouldn't you know it) are the same folks making the assertion that political religiosity has supplanted deified religiosity.

2) If there's something resembling a "trend" happening around peoples' emotional investment in politics, it's likely around the fact that politics is increasingly prodding itself into peoples' lives. At the very least, if I travel abroad, and we have a president like Trump, I look like a fucking idiot. That sucks. At the worst, I'm a woman or minority whose livelihood is negatively affected constantly by political footballing.

This has nothing to do with an absence of god, but everything to do with a real, quantifiable affect on peoples' lives. How can you expect people, secular or not, to put up with the state of social and political conversation as it exists today? If they're staunch conservatives, how can they put up with a clear wind blowing in the direction of socialism? If they're democrats, how can they put up with a clearly obstructionist and crooked counter party?

Reducing all of that to computer parlance and the most basic biologies undermines the real problems that people are dealing with.
Right post, wrong platform
> introduce more […] asserts statements

I agree that's a good idea, but don't people usually disable asserts in production?
What a strange implication to make.
That’s who we used, they made it very simple. Our oncologist was not pleased though.
Religion is about culture, belief and community. The fading of the mainstream religions is making room for the more fundamentalist, marketing driven religious practices that are often about money and politics.

> There are only five growth strategies that exist, and your product probably only fits one. Press isn’t a growth strategy, and neither is word of mouth.

Completely different to how I thought about things. Specially regarding word of mouth. Thanks to Emmet for sharing this. Will reflect. But on the surface, it makes sense
The "classic american dream" I believe involves being able to move up through hard work. At least in Canada, if we are moving people up class-wise it's by the government subsidizing them more than it is by rewarding hard work. So I believe the GPs point still stands.
As part of my job, I report a lot of phishing sites. This gets very annoying very quickly.

As well as reporting to SafeBrowsing, etc. for each site you also need to look up the domain registrar and hosting provider (via WHOIS) and email them.

Rather than do this manually every time, I wrote a small CLI to automate the lookups and even open pre-templated emails: https://github.com/bradleyjkemp/abwhose

I'm now redoing this as a web app so that I can do the entire reporting process without leaving the browser: https://phish.report

Kinda fun trying to "speedrun" the process down to as few clicks as possible.
Teleological thinking centers in our brain atrophy but remain active even if you denounce religion.
It sounds like there’s no evidence that the committer committed suicide and this post is based on an assumption that ve did. I think the author’s heart is in the right place and the mental health advice is helpful to all, but it seems off to assume suicide without some confirmation from family or friends.

I had a friend who committed suicide and the friend and her family did not want the cause of death public.

The US cause of death is private and would be considered a privacy violation if disclosed by a healthcare provider.

Perhaps in the future, not speculating or disclosing non-public cause of death would still be possible as part of a helpful article.

I apologize if I misread and the cause was publicly known. Even though the contributor’s real name wasn’t used in the article, this can be really sensitive and painful if ever linked to the individual.
Not sure this is ok copyright wise.

I've come to terms with this by denouncing morals and focusing on ethics.
The age at which someone is elderly and likely to die soon is much higher than it used to be, thanks to the medical community NOT sharing your opinion and giving up on the elderly.
Ben Claremont has done a lot of reviews of 3D virtual tour software, see https://youtu.be/uKkQQ0aHRSc

Ben’s reviews are the best I’ve seen, but he is far from the only reviewer in this space.

Unfortunately, most of the software in this space does not actually generate a floor plan, even if they do create a 3D model of the space (like Matterport). There is one program he highlighted which is bundled with a service from the company that you can use to process your pictures and generate a floor plan among other things, but some of that work is still done by human beings.

I’m still looking for a good consumer grade program that can do photogrammetry of a space and turn that into a floor plan. I’ve seen attempts to do this with phones and cameras, and the LIDAR scanner that Apple has recently introduced has improved the situation, but IMO it is still not there yet.

But please correct me if I’m wrong. I would love to be wrong.
Isn’t this what Catholicism is all about? We are all sinners and terrible people. Therefore we should see the best in fellow human and give money to the church so it can offset our tab with god

I realize most people stick to the “everyone is bad” part and forget that they too are an everyone and gloss over the whole forgiveness and acceptance part.
Uh ... is it news to people that american nationalism is a very religious belief system?

It isn't to outsiders, I definitely heard this comparison made when I was in school ... which was the 90's.

This also feels more like americans adjusting to having explicit ideological beliefs in the first place, since the decades-long political monoculture is breaking up. There is an interesting religious feel to party affiliation in the US, but nothing particularly exceptional compared to other places. Maybe that's an outsider missing some nuance though.
> Are you asking whether people relate to each other on HN? Of course they do. It's a key aspect of the community here.

I'm asking whether people actually pay attention to usernames to any significant degree and recognize them.
Discord banned me for using ripcord
Discord disabled my account because i "used" a self bot but i was using ripcord and someone sent me a friend request and when i accepted it my account automatically logged out of ripcord and when i tried to login at discord website it said my account was disabled so i checked my email and there was an email explaining why i was banned (https://i.imgur.com/x1j9oKn.png), i tried to create an appeal but it wasn't accecpted, i have seen a similar case here and i want to see see if it will be solved too (sorry for my english)

You can self-host the runtime, and use code from notebook cells in whatever context you like. The closed part is the “notebook chrome” (editor, history view, social features, etc.).
Ctrl+f "40%" in the article, that's what I'm referring to. (Heck, it's even one of the parts I cited in my comment. I'm not making new stuff up.)
Does the energy need to be conserved in the same form?
It actually seems to miss a few points. (I also agree that the post has not enough levity to balance out the negative tone).

1. PEP 445 makes the use case of LD_PRELOAD irrelevant.

2. A change like this would go under obvious code review and testing to make it into a released version.

3. The risk of a regression would still exist but that can either be caught by #2 or the existing unit testing already in Python.

(Disclaimer: I have contributed to the Python codebase)
The lesson of genocide appears to be: carry it out in the most boring way possible (starvation, exposure, disease, suppression of fertility) and people will forget about it or never realize it occurred.

As soon as you introduce novel technologies or extensive record-keeping, your actions remain cemented in history and popular consciousness.
This is mirrored in the precipitously dropping support for freedom of speech in the US, especially among youth. As ideology becomes more intense heresy becomes less acceptable, and it seems if people can't quell heretical speech with threats of fire and brimstone they'll do it with legislation and police.
The terms "measurable" and "tempered" for starters.
I had this question during a Google interview. The interviewer became annoyed when I suggested that an elevator that sometimes went backwards to pick ip someone on a just-missed floor could at least be interesting, if not perfectly efficient.

They had a preconceived idea that they wanted a stateless system and didn’t like my stateful approach, even if it was potentially better for end users.
If you move to the USA from the developing world or even Eastern Europe, regardless of what job you do your salary immediately soars above whatever you made in your country of origin. Taxation on many consumer goods is also likely to be lower. (For example, electronics can be expensive elsewhere due to high import duties or VAT.) Of course, cost of living in the USA is also much higher, but nevertheless lots of immigrants feel that they have moved up in life just because of the higher wages and consumeristic lifestyle now available to them.
I’m working on turning it into an online service - shoot me an email to recurry@outlook.com and I’ll give you a free unlimited account if you’d still like something like that.
As I've said quite a few times before, with no straight answer given: How does one assess the value of land? Was is the basis or seed value for a given figure?
Because they're "staunch conservatives" or "democrats", as you wrote, because thats what they were exposed to first, not because they had an array of choices set in front of them with no external influence and said "that makes more sense"

The same goes with religion

The same goes with addicts
I've said this before, but at this point I think the better solution is to just assume name, phone, email, address, DoB, social security number and drivers license number are fully public, because they pretty much already are.

Then, from, that perspective, companies shouldn't treat that information as individually identifiable because it's likely already public.
Mental abuse may cause anxiety. Got it.
America is certainly the country with the most opportunity for the most people.

A shift that has occurred from the 1950s to present is that there is less of a guarantee of an upper-middle-class lifestyle through a moderate [1] amount of effort.

That easier opportunity, however, was unique to the era. Prior to 1930, immigrants knew that America was a place for exceptionally hard work and tons of opportunity and freedom - that was the American dream. Not high taxation and government-funded class movement from lower-middle to upper-middle.

Yet people in most of Western Europe (discounting Switzerland and Luxembourg and maybe Norway) are objectively poorer than even the poorest American states.
It's the standard of one particular professional with 15y of clinical practice and research who's seen every kind of manipulation and incompetence in medicine. But yeah, it may be silly. We'll see about that in the coming decades I guess.
Because you can't build a good app or a game if your primary focus is on a gimmick, and AR and VR are essentially just gimmicks.

They clearly don't need this stuff and they clearly are competitive already, given their market share with developers. I'd hate to see Apple cram in all these wacky features you're describing - I much prefer a simpler system.
>refined sugar

I wouldn't personally consider rolled oats, rolled barley, or rolled rye to be refined sugars, nor are they quite in the white rice, potato, corn, flour starch category, despite flattening a "grass seed/fruit" being a type of "processing."

Furthermore, oversimplifying food advice tends to leave out conversation of how food breaks down. The main ways are time, grinding, heat, fermentation. Fermentation gets a bit of an asterisk at the end of hard rules lists. They may say no dairy but then exempt fermented dairy. Lactofermentation of oats will be less starchy than uncooked oats.
I agree about morals. They're always relative, and can sometimes be fluid. Holding someone to a set of morals is usually pretty shortsighted.

What do you mean by ethics here?

The one thing I try to hold myself to is to maximize individual choice, even if I don't currently agree with some of the choices.
For you to cash out your crypto wouldn’t you need to transfer it to your account? Isn’t that enough for IRS to knock on your door?
The “science” most people believe (more accurately called scientism) is an aspect of the state secular religion.
Yes, It creates serfs/indentured servitude. Both the H1B visa and GC application should belong to the worker/applicant, with conditions (as long as they are employed with the given salary, pay taxes, etc...).

The employee should just be able to do the process themselves, and handle it the papers with their own lawyer.

It is clear that the H1B is setup to maximize the benefits to large corps, and not necessary the american economy/people.
I should wrote "analogous" instead of "no different", as analogies compare dissimilar things with common attributes, and could provide the same introspective capabilities without the easy ego based rebuttals

There aren't enough differences for me to entertain the idea of backtracking though
I'm confused.

Is this about something I can do to speed up our 3.8 Python code, or about why Python 3.8 is faster than 3.7?
Ahh, yes — they used to support the Structure.io scanner that you could strap to an iPad or iPhone.
I bought one of those. I could never get it to work.

Edit: the Canvas.io software really wants the latest iPhone or iPad devices with LIDAR scanners built-in. It will supposedly run on lesser hardware, but with greater error in the constructed 3D map. Fine for a sample to get an idea of whether or not it might work for you, but not really enough to actually use for anything useful.
No matter what, the underlying reality, is that there are certain chemical you can take in the right amount per person to give you the best health possible. We might not be there for a while but studies help us in that direction.
isn't ideological intensity an euphemism for religious faith? or is that the joke
It might be AR is still too risky. For single player games AR is mostly a gimmick, and for multiplayer games you need networking effect, a large enough user base to achieve the viral effect. It doesn't make for a safe investment.

I guess this market is waiting for wearable AR hardware. Oculus should release consumer product in next 12 months, and Apple is also cooking something big behind curtains.
Teleological thinking does not have to be supernatural, as long as you replace the idea of a "will" driving things towards a final state, with the idea of attractors and stable versus unstable states. You can't really deny telos and also believe in evolution as a system that fits species to their environments.
you missed the part where you make another account in someone else's name because you had bought their ID

Thanks for this! That limitation of the mobile site always annoyed me. Slightly coincidental that I just finished rereading the Well of Ascension minutes ago.
Because it doesn't really add to the fun and it makes people dizzy and sick.
We are social animals. A religion is what scientists call a “paradigm”.

The socially acceptable ideas/paradigms of today are the religions of next century.

Hegel was right.
I've never thought about keeping silent parts in since that's just not my use case, but conceptually you could do that if you introduced a third marker (color other than red or green) to indicate "keep with silent parts".
