At some point the total life duration cost of the safety actions exceeds the sum of the extended lives due to the safety actions. In the 5 billion hours example, 10 people live for under 10 million hours in total (1 million hours = 114 years). You'd have spent 5000 lives worth of time to save 10, which is not worth it in the aggregate.
Reading down below, it sounds like your crime didn’t really have individual victims. It cost all of us a little something in higher prices or fees or similar. In a case like that, I think it’s a lot easier to say that we as a society should forgive and forget.

There is another side of the coin. Having worked with some crime victims, there are a lot of crimes out there where it’s not just some diffuse, whole society damage. Everyone thinks of the big ones—homicides and rape—and yes, of course, those are the worst. But even “just” home burglary can leave people never feeling safe in their homes for the rest of their lives.

In cases where the victim never gets to move on with his or her life how much should we work towards making sure the victimizer can?
OP has posted about his crime. He stole and used customer credit cards.

> That no matter the degree of criminality, the punishment should be eternal?

Absolutely not, I think America's justice system is overly punitive. That doesn't mean I'm obligated to give some criminal a job or a loan, now or ever.

Sundar Pichai, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Satya Nadella all have some solid "computer nerd" background. Tim Cook, maybe not so much, but if I had to guess, Apple is the one who is going to make it out of this in the best shape, if only because congresspeople love their iPhones.

And regardless of leadership, there are hundreds of thousands of computer nerds who are doing quite well at these companies.

You work for a Silicon Valley startup, but the above posters are mostly talking about people who run one.
Got stuck in Denver yesterday thanks to this. Flight was delayed for 2.5 hours, airport was insanely crowded and the poor lady at the Southwest desk had a never ending stream of people asking questions she didn't have answers to. The airport bar was certainly making a heck of a lot of sales, though!

On a serious note, it seems somewhat of an oversight that Southwest's entire multibillion dollar operation can be ground to a halt due to the weather pamphlet printing system breaking. Talk about single points of failure!
Ipad Pro, procreate, and if you really need to a paper-like sheet over it (various manufacturers).. it's 98% of what wacom experience is like (2% being the physical buttons). On the flip sode, taking your ipad pro out and drawing outside... A lot better than taking the portable wacom outside.

I have decades now (shit, I'm old) experience with these tyoes of devices in professional settings. There are two classes now, one with direct drawing over screen, the other indirect one. I have my brain and muscles trained for both, and I'd rather take the former than latter any day. It's more natural and in some cases necessary (hand-drawn animation is way slower by indirect method, if impossible).

Having said that, I'd only consider and compare three devices (there are more). Cintiq attached to a computer - fantastic experience and highly non portable and requires a lot of space. Allows for photoshop, which is still no 1, as well as pro 2D animation tools. Portable wacom/cintiq which is a pc in a fat tablet form.. not that great (heats up, battery, fat), but allows all wibdows tools you need.. and then there's ipad pro with its pencil. Procreate is fantastic and saves the show on the app front, apple pencil and screen surface is subpar experience to wacom nibs and surface (not cintiq one!!), but it takes like half an hour to get used to it and never give it a second thought. There are screen overlays which mimic wacom surface though, I just don't need it. Also, ipad pro has the advantage there of having less space between the tip of the pencil and the surface being shown (less of a gap between glass and drawing) and that amazing refresh rate is, well, amazing! I have "unlimited" budget for these things and my first tool to grab for drawing and painting is ipad pro. For animation and matte work (where you need different tools), it's cintiq on a windows machine (why not a mac is a different topic altogether).
The stereotype of the "scary black man" predates cable news reporting. The "savage colored man" predates slavery, and goes back to racist colonists, racist explorers, if not even before that and before that.

It doesn't matter which came first. The point is that the stereotypes are not relevant to today's society no matter how they started.
A ton of websites predicted that the avalanche of mortgage debt that could not be paid was going to destroy the financial system.

Mike Sherlock for one. He’s gotten dumb but he was on point on this.
There is no separate category of debt-based government emitted credit money. Since we left the gold standard all US dollars have been debt based. That's not a bad thing, it's just how our banking system works.

I was under the impression that without peer coaching you couldn’t get a prescription. If state guidelines are at fault how did you find a in state doctor sympathetic?

I apologize but I can’t get over the notion it’s drug seeking and/or doctor shopping.

I must assume that there was a reason for the doctor not wanting to prescribe you that medication. If state guidelines were the true root why was another doctor amenable?

Using performance enhancing drugs is a losing game. It makes it harder for those who wish to use their natural cognitive abilities.

In time it forces everyone to dope up.
Supernote does not do too much.

It has an excellent note taking app, a quirky way to create word docs, a calendar, ability to read and annotate pdf/epub, an email app (which I found impossible to set up), and kindle. That's it. You cannot install/side-load apps.

So, it is a perfect device for no distraction note taking.
Some random site here in NZ quotes $400-500 per week, say $25k per year which is quite ok.

Thing is there's tons of people in their gap year who are willing to come to first world country and experience the rich life (you need to provide accomodation and food IIRC) even if it's pretty middle for us.
The fallacy isn't that scale is inherently bad or anything but that scale can change the fundamental nature of what a thing is and so they're not always able to be substituted.

* If I kill an Armenian it's murder, if I kill every Armenian it's genocide.

* If I buy some shares of Google it's investing, if I buy every share of Google it's a takeover.

* If I happen to know where you are because a saw you in town it's a coincidence. If I know where you are 24/7 it's surveillance.

* If a friend sends my address to someone it's no big deal. If they post my address publicly it's doxxing.

The logic "if I can X at some scale then I can do X at any scale" doesn't follow because doing X at different scales might be totally different things. I don't think Google slurping up SSIDs is going to make $bad_thing happen but the justification for them doing the sluping is more complicated than "well it's fine if I wrote down one SSID..."

The process is typically fast in the US as well, but the edge cases are what get into the news. The USA also has a population 13x larger, so we should expect any given issue to occur about 13x as often in the USA as in AUS.

Peter Thiel expressed the same sentiment against Google and friends, even calling them non-tech companies https://youtu.be/2Q26XIKtwXQ

The counter point is that nearly every one of these incredibly successful businesses is doing this, and they can’t all be incapable.

Money never sets the speed limit for these companies. Some amount of money in the bank is too much even for your grandest of plans. Once you have 10x that, what else do you do.

>Yes, that's specifically my preference, for a system the user can configure, easily/out of the box, without relying on third parties to patch some really simple stuff back in.

I personally would describe that approach as actually more lacking in configurability, because with that you're limited to only the built-in settings. In my opinion all those could be improved with further improvements the extension system. In general I also see the line between "third party" as being blurry in these open source projects, because any random person can contribute something. But in the end, you deserve to use something that is to your preference.

>I'm not asking the shell to act any particular way, nor am I asking for changes in Gnome.

Sorry, I guess I'm confused as to why you'd be talking about technical issues with GNOME, if it's been totally irrelevant to your interests for the last 10 years, and you don't even use it. If you're not interested to give constructive feedback or try to fix the issues, or try to describe different ways of achieving your workflow, then I would say I'm not really interested to discuss complaints about these things.
Reminds me in a way of paparazzi and so I wonder, when will ‘automated paparazzi’ become a thing, and when will it be considered to have gone too far?

Certainly too creepy for the public to allow (or even imagine) today but perhaps in 5 or 10 years the masses may be sufficiently conditioned to consider the privacy tradeoff worth whatever conveniences (or ‘security’ benefits) it dishes up for them.

Marketed as ‘public view’ imagine Boston Dynamics or drones with more ai, solar powered, operating at amazon or google scale. Maybe they’ll even dress them up like birds and other wildlife to give it an ‘organic’ or natural feel. Fun times.
As a Protestant, I struggle with being an effective Jew; being an effective Catholic, is, I'm afraid, just a bit out of my reach. I suspect it has to do with the creation myth of Protestantism. When it comes to synthetic telepathy, I'm a True Believer. God knows if I have Faith; the Tao is the Voice of God. And as for Zen, it cannot be spoken of.

I will never be a Catholic. All of the LSD, all of the conspiracy theories, all of the CIA operations in the world can't turn me into a Catholic. And it doesn't make it any better that MTV is totally amped up and hyped up for a Catholic teen audience!!!

> webrtc, which Google standardized and open sourced, is likely the single most important innovation on the interwebs (in terms of impact) just ahead of Microsoft's XMLHttpRequest.

Thats a really weird claim. We can point to some real ways google has benefited the web: Their search engine is excellent, and was a huge leap forward when it was released. SPDY/QUIC are set to become the next HTTP2/HTTP3. And google chrome has made the browser a much more powerful and compelling platform over the last few years. If anything they're investing too much - and hurting the web by making it hard for other browser vendors to keep up.

But webrtc?? Webrtc is still mostly a toy, barely used outside of video conferencing. Its insanely overcomplicated for any other use case. And I still haven't seen a compelling reason to use it for anything else. Decentralized communication doesn't buy you much when the site itself is still loaded from a centralized server.

More important / impactful than XMLHttpRequest? No, I think not.
It really is that, most Jackass pranks the joke is the jackass people themselves, with other people's reactions being part of the humour but usually not at their expense. The central source of the humour is the jackass people acting silly or humiliating themselves somehow.

Mind you: the situation of the above article is related to minor crimes.

Not mass shootings (a major crime if I ever heard one!). The reason for not naming people in mass shootings is different. Mass shooters want fame, so you deny them fame by not naming them.

Minor criminals have the opposite problem: they can often be rehabilitated back into society after serving their debt to society, but the public shaming of news reports can hamstring them for their entire lives. Entire industries revolve around using SEO tricks to hide people's pasts.

It doesn't have to be that way. If someone is arrested for petty theft, maybe it's ok for the news article to just say "A suspect was arrested". I'm not sure naming them actually helps society at large.

My impression as a black person waiting for the shoe to drop in these delayed ID stories is that the perp turns out to be another black person somewhat less then half the time, and that it's often the case that the police are the ones withholding the identity, not the media.

So I think you're making a leap by assuming that such instances are incontrovertibly based on a supposed intention by the media to treat black suspects with kid gloves. Other than the NYT on a good day, I frankly don't see any evidence that the mainstream media have such charitable intentions toward blacks.

To answer your question directly, if the suspect is going to end up being publicly ID'd, no I don't appreciate coyness, just come out with it. But I agree with the AP that not all stories are worth divulging the name. I had a girlfriend in my teens whose dad was arrested on suspicion of being in a drug ring, and not only did the tabloid get many details wrong, but of course there was no retraction when he was eventually released without charges. That blurb might be on some old microfilm somewhere but in today's world he would be Googleable forever.
And yet their fates are intertwined.
No, because hotels don't remove existing supply from the market like AirBnB does. Nor at the rate that AirBnB is. It's not like the AirBnB owners are just making all newly built houses into AirBnB, they're actively lowering the supply already in the area, which hotels don't do.

>My own research has demonstrated that a belief in God is associated with significantly better treatment outcomes for acute psychiatric patients

I don't believe this for a second. The author has a gigantic conflict of interest comparing his own philosophy (which he has attempted to transfer to a number of other therapists) and this article.

I we want to have reasonable information about this then it will take other people with no connection to the author who attempt to repeat his treatments. That's not going to happen.

This article disgusted me. If you're going to use a psychological placebo you better have a valid treatment to compare it.

And how easy to throw the term "spirituality" around without defining it. There's no evidence a god exists and there no evidence that spirituality exists as a physical manifestation.

Market makers in the US are required to have enough capital of their own so that they don't default on their obligations.[1] This requires substantial assets. All countries with significant international market making activity have similar requirements. Institutions will not trade with parties that don't have that kind of backup.

US market makers have to settle and pay within three days. (Was that changed to two days?) Missing that deadline is a huge event and puts a market maker out of business within hours. See Bear Sterns, although that was a slightly different situation. Because the business does not allow long-term outstanding balances, it doesn't lend itself to scams.

British bookmakers are highly regulated. "UK licensed operators are required to hold customer deposits and stakes in ring fenced independent accounts in case they do fail".

The binary options business thrived in the UK for a while because they were considered gambling by the financial regulator and a financial product by the gambling regulator. That ended in April 2018, when they were banned.

Exactly - please do javadoc style comments. “It’s not an API” is not the way to look at it. You have to look at it as - I will not be the last person to use this code block. You don’t want to force someone else on your team or your replacement to dig into your method to figure out what the parameters are and the correct usage when they see it used somewhere. Having a javadoc pop up an illuminating description is very valuable. As the code base gets bigger you can even just look at the exported javadoc to figure out if someone (maybe you) already implemented the method you are thinking of. The part of the article rejecting javadoc sounded like it was for only ephemeral projects and not a mature code base that’s been handed down.

Here’s a definition used in Florida’s ban[1] on CRT:

> the theory that racism is not merely the product of prejudice, but that racism is embedded in American society and its legal systems in order to uphold the supremacy of white persons.

CRT by this definition is an objective historical fact. The effect of white supremacy on the legal system can be seen from the end of reconstruction, to Jim Crow laws, to government officials allying with the Klan, to the modern-day carceral state. All of these topics were covered in my public school education.

If you want to argue that some works of CRT are flawed, that’s one thing, but substituting the objective historical facts of critical race theory with nationalist propaganda, as these CRT bans explicitly aim to do, is irresponsible and a disservice to the public education system. As NPR correctly points out, it “limit[s] teaching a historically accurate picture of U.S. history”.
