> In 2011, Swartz was arrested by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) police on state breaking-and-entering charges, after connecting a computer to the MIT network in an unmarked and unlocked closet, and setting it to download academic journal articles systematically from JSTOR using a guest user account issued to him by MIT. Federal prosecutors, led by Carmen Ortiz, later charged him with two counts of wire fraud and eleven violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, carrying a cumulative maximum penalty of $1 million in fines, 35 years in prison, asset forfeiture, restitution, and supervised release. Swartz declined a plea bargain under which he would have served six months in federal prison. Two days after the prosecution rejected a counter-offer by Swartz, he was found dead in his Brooklyn apartment, where he committed suicide. In 2013, Swartz was inducted posthumously into the Internet Hall of Fame.

Keep in reading, including the comments such as the author's in https://jwmason.org/slackwire/considerations-on-rent-control... :

> I’m not entirely unsympathatic to your point of view. If we could do more to boost the supply of affordable housing, there would be less need for rent control, that is true.

> But, first, less need is not no need. I don’t think it’s even physically possible to get a perfectly elastic housing supply at the local level, so when local demand rises some people are still going to face displacement from rising rents. And I think they deserve protection from that. Second, and more important, I am not at all sympathetic to the idea that we should remove protections that people very much need today, because they would need them less in a quite different world that we may reach someday.

I'd say what you are talked about is exactly addressed. Sure, it would have been good to include in the article this audience, but that wasn't the audience of the original speech.
IMHO that's code smell. Modules shouldn't depend on each other, because that creates a web of tangled dependency where you have to understand everything before you can understand one of them. Circular dependency is to modules what goto is to control flow.

Branding like "Thai stick" was common in the 80s, and was pretty much always just marketing bullshit. The same thing applies now. "Kush" and other terms are all marketing gimmicks.

THC concentrations are much higher, weed is grown in better conditions, by trained botanists, sealed up and delivered fresh. Anything people got in the 80s was weak and stale by comparison.

I have flown many hundreds of times over my lifetime to most continents and this remains the best thought-out airport. I only need give 1 example. You can move from your seat on the plane, with your 4-wheeled cabin case, all the way through the entire airport to your taxi using no more than your pinky finger to push the case. There are no bumps, no stairs, no changes in elevation that require you lift the thing. A 90yr old could do it. This is no accident.

> just build apps which could run on a phone from 2012 (basically just displaying my monthly credit card bill), but then make them unavailable on devices older than 2 years

How is this the app developer's fault? There's plenty of Linux, macOS, and Windows software that only runs on recent kernels because they use new APIs. Why would ANY developer target OSs that the overwhelming majority of their users don't actually use, skipping out on supporting modern functionality?

Edit: Really eager to hear from the folks downvoting about their great experiences bending over backwards to support SDKs from 2013 to target devices that literally can't even connect to a mobile network anymore.
Previously, media showed others who were severely removed from the reality of one’s day. Today, media shows you people closer to you, its a presentation of who you know. No longer is it disconnected from your reality, but it is your reality. Social media has sort of changed media consumption from a window into a mirror... and staring at oneself all day long is either gonna make you a narcissist or absolutely hate yourself.

Now take the world of a teenager, which is already small, and blast it at them 24/7 full force. Imagine the insane bullshit you see from adults on social media trying to distort reality... now imagine how extreme a child could be imitating those same adults. The big difference being we (adults) don’t then have to go spend eight hours around some crazy asshole. These kids do. It’s haunting.

Social media seems less social the long we have it. I think “petty media” would have been a better term and communicated its relative importance in our lives much better.

That doesn't make the negativity understandable.

I'm not sure what more can be said without triggering an accusation of "whataboutism". To be clear, I think equating any context or comparison of anything with whataboutism is a flagrant misuse of the word, but it does seem to be a popular way to have the last word.
Very high taxes. Works out great if you have children. Does not work out so great if you don't have children. The state should use taxes to subsidize the behavior it wants its citizens to engage in. Population growth is generally considered 'very important' (and historically it unquestionably was #1, but today its questionable). The U.S. attempts to do the same thing through its tax code with lots of additional subsidies for parents. Keep in mind that a large portion of childcare expenses are directly reimbursed on those parents tax returns so the $1500 in America weighed against the $250 in Europe needs to be adjusted for the very high tax in Europe (as high as 59% I think, but am no expert in the EU) and the large reimbursement in America in order to get a truly comparable price point.

Of course reality is much more complicated than that and there will cohorts of 'winners' and 'losers' under both systems. You need to take into account the various cohorts if you want to know which system is better for an individual scenario (ie the lived experience we all see the world through):
Poor/Rich
No children, 1 child, 5 children etc.
Grandparents living next door, Grandparents living across the country.
And many other factors.

> What license to use to prevent AWS et al. from selling my project as a service?

It's perhaps more useful to start instead with "what business can I build that will compete effectively with SaaS services?"

SaaS is now the standard way to deploy enterprise software. If you have a successful OSS project in the enterprise space and don't figure this out, somebody else will do it for you. Amazon is just one of many potential competitors. I get worried about collaborating with or using any OSS-based service that does not get this.
Anyone can put classified information into your email account by forwarding the right news story or Wikipedia page to you in an email. There is a lot of classified information that is also publicly known. Federal law enforcement understands this and takes it into account when deciding to prosecute.

Note that Hillary Clinton was not prosecuted despite the subsequent administration basically running on a promise to do so.

Official business with classified information is never done via email, even if everyone is using the government email servers. There are separate networks, devices, and protocols for storing and operating with classified information.
> only because you set boundaries around social media

Social media is social interaction. It's an inextricable part, if not the centerpiece for many kids these days. This is the modern equivalent of saying "no friends allowed"/"you can only see and talk to your friends for a couple of minutes a day", as hyperbolic as that may seem. Extreme rejection and rebellion is a logical outcome from that.
Once upon a time I was joking that the real reason for the airport security theater is to force you early onto the airport so you are to spend money out of sheer boredom.

> There was nothing preventing them from ‘locking down’ an intel based macOS

On Intel Macs, you can install Linux and Windows if you are unhappy with macOS. So they couldn't really lock it down. With their own custom ARM processors, they can prevent the installation of other OSes. Thus, like with iPhone or iPad, you will be stuck with the OS they provide. With the M1, so far you can only run other OSes on VM.
I don't think that's the problem, the problem is that progress in cameras is parallel to progress in drones and CGI, so we always will be able to explain away everything. If there is something to this phenomenon, no individual video is going to be enough.

For instance, if we see something like these, the explanation is going to be drones:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVTlN41Mr9w

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5CSReaPNcg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a95YERVRBM

If we see something like these, CGI, I suppose:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE-Yrv1-chI

This one is taken by a military grade camera at night, I suppose it could be a drone or a bird:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1qiZ_L8wX4

Because it's not reproducible it's always possible to explain away everything. It's an epistemology nightmare but I find it very interesting, specially when you have testimonies from people that you don't have a reason to doubt. I have to think if, maybe, our priors are too strong in one direction.

I'd encountered a similar incident some years ago. I was fine with showing an ID, but when the clerk then tried to take it from my hand, I held it firmly.

I left my purchase at the counter and went elsewhere to buy herbal teas.

Subsequent research suggests that few cold remedies are effective at all (though decongestants can improve breathing). Teas with slippery elm and eucalyptus seem at least somewhat effective, don't require IDs, and are not meth precursors.

On why / how older generations may be primed to object: I remember reading a science fiction story in the late 1970s / early 1980s, a short in a compilation (likey a Hugo or similar award collection), in which a data system with universal identification system, with one of the designers of the system being given the opportunity to opt out.

He does.

I think of that story often.
This common desire for FTL should be an object lesson in how wishful thinking distorts objectivity. We see a constant stream of ideas that spring from simply not understanding the domain of a function. You can put a negative value into mass or energy. That doesn't mean it means anything.

There really is no plausible theory for FTL of any kind. Maybe there will be in the future. Personally I'd put everything I have on the speed of light being an absolute limit to causality.

Look at it this way: if FTL travel were possible we probably wouldn't exist. Whoever came first would probably colonize the Universe and sterilize it of competition. So there's that.
> Why can’t every airport be like this?

Because in the real world, constraints exist?

> A fast, low-cost public transportation link to downtown.

When cities grew before airports and so the underground is already full of subways and infrastructure, it can be prohibitively expensive to build a new fast tunnel to downtown.

> but it’s the saturation of high-end boutiques that always confounds me

If the author studied the economics of airport shops they would no longer be confounded.

> Better dining options — i.e. fewer chain restaurants

Airports provide what they think customers want. Generally travelers want familiarity, which chain restaurants provide.

> Americans haven’t figured out how to behave on an escalator

And other countries are any better...? Try replacing "Americans" with "people".

All in all, this post is just a weird personal rant. Yes, airports aren't built to what the author personally desires. But when the author isn't going to do any research as to why they are the way they are, or accept that many of the things they want cost more money than people are willing to spend on airline tickets -- reading this post is just a waste of time.
