It appears that Wikidata semantic network statements are untyped and binary rather than n-ary. Ugh. Amazingly, the above URL has a picture which shows exactly why this is such a stupid approach. The location of San Francisco(Q62) is a "Geolocation" consisting of a latitude and a longitude. That is, the statement is (if I'm reading this right):

location(San Francisco (Q62), Geolocation{-122.4183, 37.775})

This requires that Geolocation be a special type like integer or float. VERY BAD. There would be a massive proliferation of such things.

Alternatively Wikidata could do this as

Q95 (or whatever) = new object
longitude(Q95, -122.4183)
latitude(Q95, 37.775)
location(San Francisco (Q62), Q95)

This is the standard reified approach used by binary semantic networks and is ugly as sin, unnecessarily polluting the object space with little object poops. The clean way to do this would have been to declare location to be ternary, so we could say:

location(San Francisco (Q62), -122.4183, 37.775)

I think the author presents his points from strongest to weakest.

People have different priorities in life. Just how much someone cares about career, financial, social success really feeds into how they'd weigh these points. I would say the author wants children, but desires money and success more.

The point about 'energetic 70 year olds' is cherry picking and really quite weak. Many, if not most, people experience serious physical decline beginning in their late 30s and certainly by the 40s - even with some attention to diet and exercise. I certainly have.
I believe that even the slim PS3 versions without full-blown GS+EE hardware still include the PS1 CPU somewhere in a role of IO controller.

Without trying to go into too many details, because it would be a long discussion, unions have both positives and negatives. There are people on both sides that ignore/discount the other side, so it can be difficult to even have a reasonable discussion on it.

Some points from both sides

Positives

- Without unions, we wouldn't have the 40 hour work week or many of the safety regulations we take for granted.

- Without unions, people can wind up working long hours in inhumane environments because it's the only opportunity they have (do it or starve). That's true even today.

Negatives

- Union members consider anyone who disagrees with the union an enemy, dishing out verbal and physical abuse on those people.

- Unions sometimes prevent poor workers from being fired, resulting in certain worse conditions for everyone involved.

I'm not looking to debate any of the above, just throwing out some examples from each side. The topic of unions is far from clear cut as good or bad.
The proof is that this article, a "The Economist" article, has been flagged. It shows [flagged] next to the title.
I doubt it. One observation is that polygons can experience cyclic overlap, so A > B and B > C does NOT imply A > C. This transitivity property is required for O(N lg N) sorting algorithms. And note that even with Crash 1 polygon counts, O(N^2) is > 1000^2 -- way too huge for a 33Mhz processor.

However, the way I did it was to precompute the sort order of the polygons ahead of time and store periodic key frames (the complete sorted list) along with diffs. These diffs were generally very small, meaning your intuition that not much changes from frame to frame is a valid one. The problem is without the runtime oracle telling you which polygons move from frame to frame, it seems hard to exploit this property.

Another issue with approximate polygon sorting methods like bucket sorting is that the sort isn't terribly stable from frame to frame, so you get the annoying flickering effect that you see so often in PS1 games, as a pair of polygons alternates between relative sort order as you move around.

That import tax on cars is interesting. Several years ago I sold a used Toyota Echo that I'd had for ~12 years, but had maintained nicely. The buyer's whole effort was buying used Echos and shipping them to Costa Rica. I thought that was pretty niche, but I guess a very reliable and quite cheap car finding a home in a place where prices high makes a lot of sense.

Thanks for helping make the pieces fit.

Incorrect. When the person press and holds the power button, just show a fake graphic onscreen for "swipe to turn off". When person does that, show a black screen for 3 seconds, show the Apple logo for 8 seconds, do an animation, and the phone hasn't rebooted while the person's been tricked.
my reading was that OP took efforts not to call people but still rang at all hours. I think your reading and assumption are mistaken.

* Generally, each organization has some kind of bias, and I appreciate it when they are up-front about it.

My preferred group would have these biases / goals:

2. Valuing clear and honest discussion about member preferences in voting systems

3. Valuing understanding among the group members

4. Help group members form alliances with each other, should they desire to organize and do advocacy, because while each of us might have our 'preferred' voting system, we all benefit from moving beyond the 'worst' voting systems

Ooof. Nuclear is no longer economic and the life-time emission is way above zero. Both Gov. Brown and AOC are confident about 100% renewables. We can do it!
I can totally see this perspective, lokl! We are very uncertain that we're achieving our goals. I think I agree with you that Multiverse doesn't go too far off from Tumblr - and that's deliberate - we wanted to see if we could offer a stepping stone. Start at a familiar place but move in a different direction.

I'd be interested to hear more about achieving expressiveness in a "deep sense" - don't know if you mean offering more hypertext features - something more in the way of Roam or Notion. For us, aesthetics are rather deep - and offering design tools for fleshing out posts and designing frames seemed like something that had gone neglected. I think the posts that are being published so far show a lot of promise. Perhaps we can offer further stepping stones from here, to build more elaborate hypertext.

Really great question - this is exactly what we talk about between each other as well. Thank you for all of the feedback as well. Very much appreciated.

Pay the menial jobs better. The person cleaning the toilets at Facebook should earn more than the developers there.

EDIT: This is not meant literally, I am not talking about toilette cleaning jobs at Facebook, I am talking about paying people for the time they spent working and maybe how physically taxing or unpleasant the work is. This is in contrast to paying people what you can get away with because of the available supply of workers or how much money you have to throw around because you can get it from your customers.
> This doesn't mean that prostitution isn't still a negative and that we shouldn't try to eliminate it where possible.

Why?
I understand many of them use cars these days. Otherwise, to counter your argument, there would have to be a plane every 5 minutes, and short-haul narrows bodies don’t carry 500 passengers, either.

Cars are not that big of a problem, especially if fully occupied, which I imagine is very often the case when going for holidays. And especially with increasing electrification, they will keep becoming lesser of a carbon footprint contributor.

It's still punishment; it's just negative punishment. Their punishment is having a positive stimulus (their money, their goods they sold to make rent, etc) removed, rather than having a negative stimulus added (positive punishment).

There's also all kinds of opportunity costs. That money could have been used for tons of things, or they could have reduced their tax rate.

It may still be that this is the most prudent course of action. There is likely to be massive fallout when the eviction moratoriums end, and this seems likely to solve that. Pretending that there is no harm to people who paid their rent is disingenuous though.

I don't want to get super pedantic about it.
Someone recently pointed out to me the parallels between prostitution and labor. And I kind of can't shake it out of my head now, since I feel you can draw pretty straight lines from one to the other.

Both are selling your body for (relatively) high pay. Both have you burn out usually by your mid-late 40's. Both are dangerous work. Both have high degree's of human trafficking*. Both subsist mostly on young naïve workers. Both have no education requirements. Both have success predicated greatly on genetics (strength vs. looks). Both are the oldest professions in the world.

Really the most substantial difference I can see is in how society values men vs. women, dispensable vs. protected. Which is of course the same way humans valued men and women for pretty much all of history.

*Trafficking is tricky because in the US it's basically if you do (illegal) sex work and have a boss you are being trafficked. Basically everyone in construction would be "trafficked" then, so instead I go with a high degree of desperate illegal immigrants who will do really any work (ripe for exploitation).

Edit: I should note that my take is that prostitution should be legalized, regulated, unionized, and not stigmatized. It should be on the same social rung as labor.

On iPhone at least when you restart the phone it forces you to use the passcode to unlock the first time. I believe in the US passcodes are protected by the 5th amendment whereas face id or fingerprints are not. So while you can be compelled to unlock your phone with biometrics, you cannot be compelled with the passcode. Your milage may vary in other jurisdictions.
That doesn’t compose in a class hierarchy, though.

I'm fairly certain these checks are completely iOS level, and have nothing to do with the App Store. Nothing is stopping Apple from enforcing the exact same checks for sideloaded apps.
Interesting historical tidbit... "back in the day" the phone company often located "interesting" numbers (modem numbers, test numbers, etc.) within a given exchange in the npa-xxx-99zz block, or maybe npa-xxx-9zzz. So a friend and I started war-dialing that block in our local hick town, and found some test loops, ANAC numbers, modem numbers for the switch that served our town, etc, etc. Fun stuff. Then one day right after one of our sessions, we got a call - from the phone company, basically telling us to knock it off before we got into big trouble. I don't remember the exact wording, but that was the gist of it. They knew who we were and where I lived, so that "put the fear of god into us"... briefly.

Then we discovered that you could beige-box the line connected to a COCOT[1] sitting at a remote convenience store out in the middle of nowhere at 2:00am and connect a modem to that. One cheapo refurbished "brick" of a "laptop" later, and we'd go out late Sat. night / early Sunday morning and run our scans and login sessions to their switch from this remote payphone. What was nice was this particular phone's demarc box was the kind that had an RJ-11 connector in it, so we didn't even need alligator clips. We just plugged a long telephone extension cord in, parked my car about 50 feet away and sat in there, huddled around the "laptop" and went to work. Good times.

And then sometime in the late 90's we all realized that we were old enough to be tried as adults if we got caught, and that the authorities were starting to take this stuff more seriously and that getting busted could have real consequences like not getting hired for jobs, not getting into college, or even jail time. I mean, Operation Sundevil[2] had happened almost 10 years earlier, but we assumed that our risk was limited living in the hick town we lived in, with Barney Fife cops and low-tech telco employees, etc. But at some point we all walked away from that stuff, deeming the risk of continuing to play in that world to be too high.

I do want money and success, but more than anything, I want to realize as many of my own dreams as possible, and also more time and space to invest in personal growth.

> If we're moving past pure reason into useful tools and tricks to diminish people's standing...

Without getting into the "cancel culture" aspect (which seems like a red herring), in order to even get to a point where "pure reason" comes into play, you have to force your adversary to engage on that level.

For instance, a powerful politician isn't going to take the risk of engaging in any argument unless there is something that makes ignoring it costly. If anything, they'll especially ignore a well-reasoned argument against them if they can get away with it. They're not going to get into a debate with someone because their points seem interesting or insightful; they're going to avoid engaging altogether. It's not worth the risk.

Insults are one of the tools that can create enough negative publicity to diminish their standing, and to force them to engage, in order to avoid further diminution.

I would. Then it would be more about skill than strength and height, like football.
Equally, you wouldn't ban a child from a junior competition just because they were able to achieve an adult's performance out of "fairness" to the other children. Hubbard may have a physical advantage over cis women - but lots of athletes have physical advantages over each other. What is different about the kind of advantage you might obtain by being trans?

Also, comparing a trans woman to someone who "feels young at heart" is a false equivalence, and an offensive one. One is an identity, the other is not.

I envy those East-coast Amtrak routes. Amtrak's so damn much more pleasant than flying coach[0] but in most of the country the trains travel fairly slowly to begin with, which might be OK if they weren't also routinely subject to 50-100% increases in stated travel time due to having to yield to freight traffic, making them not just way slower than driving, but also extremely unpredictable (so, very inconvenient to anyone waiting for you on the other end)

[0] Of course, being stabbed with a hot poker is more pleasant than flying coach, but Amtrak's a lot more pleasant.
Yeah, not strictly zero intervention of course (a socialist won a democratic election and the US wasn't going to have it), but compared to other countries it was shorter-lived and longer ago.

That's really hard with old languages. Accents and new words surpass the alphabets with time. Turkish for example switched to using Latin alphabet on 1928 and they were able to map every sound to a specific letter. If you know the Turkish alphabet song you can read every text with perfect pronunciation. There aren't even any letter combinations to consider, letters have one sound and are individual.

Thanks, really clear explanation, and thanks for taking the time to answer such a basic question. :)
Why do you view prostitution as a negative? The only argument I've heard against prostitution that's remotely convincing is that outlawing it reduces sex trafficking. But it sounds like you're acknowledging that outlawing sex work doesn't help trafficking victims and still think it's bad anyway.
