That's not a workable position. By that measure a new industry that blows up significant fractions of major population centers for pennies - but pays taxes on those pennies - is a net producer of new tax revenue and should be considered a net benefit.

Yes, obviously, in this highly contrived example there are many other non-tax laws and reasons this company could never exist. But I think it still demonstrates the point that a new industry that produces new taxes is not inherently a good thing even if you limit the scope to simply government revenue.

I don't believe there is a perfect view of these things, but at least taking the tack I originally expressed is more workable than this.
But price inflation is the policy goal regardless of minimum wage or UBI. In fact, government spending makes for better inflation in that it is spread around the economy, rather than lending based inflation that only shows up in CPI after it sends assets through the roof.

> Take the "Dual Type" in Pokémon for example: https://pokemondb.net/type/dual. You'll notice that instead of just an NxN grid, we're dealing with an NxNxN. Where a single attack needs to be related against 2 different defenses.

> Simple enough `eff(atk::T1, def1::T2, def2::T3) = ...`, the we can just encapsulate this second type within a `Pokémon` structure and route to the correct function dynamically.

This doesn't look like a good approach to me. One thing that bothers me is that it draws a distinction between def1 and def2 that doesn't, in reality, exist. You should not be handling the cases of "fire attack deals damage to grass/ice" and "fire attack deals damage to ice/grass" separately, because those are not separate cases. No type has a different effect when listed first than it does when listed second. No pair of types has any effect other than the independent effects of each type considered individually.

The same issue reoccurs at a higher level: fundamentally, you aren't dealing with an NxNxN grid. You're free to represent the data that way, but it's redundant -- the NxNxN grid contains no information that isn't already present in the NxN grid. You could reapply the same logic and produce an NxNxNxN grid detailing what would happen if a single-typed attack hit a triple-typed defender, or if a dual-typed attack hit a dual-typed defender, but... why would you do that?
Adding to this what tipping also does is pit the server against the kitchen and sometimes the house itself in establishments that don’t share tips with the kitchen.

Tipping can still take place. It just doesn’t need to be obligatory. It’s the difference between a culture of servitude vs a culture of service.

If society chose transparency over privacy by implanting listening devices in every individual, would that be acceptable?
The article is behind a paywall for me. I love the irony here.
I’m with you there, my friend.
Obviously no true Scotsman chooses wrong teacher.
It won't work if you demand general consensus, but it can work at low scale, and your friends group is probably pretty low scale. Once you start using friends of friends etc. you have a fairly powerful network. It's relatively easy to get rid of spammers and bad actors.

It's antithetical to what big tech wants to do though, which is control how you interact (e.g. compare the earlier Facebook to the ad-ridden mess now).

The bottom line is: if you're judging all possible social data interactions by the ad-driven approach now, you're bound to be narrow-minded.
Thanks, good to know that I'm not just being childish/paranoid and that others share my concern lol
The parent definitely does not misunderstand meditation, and is quite aware that there are two primary types - focused-attention and open-awareness - the latter of which is generally what gets packaged as mindfulness meditation these days. In fact, the parent has zero interest in becoming a fully detached and non-judgmental blob of cells regarding his thoughts, feelings, and sensations that are part of his unique human narrative and personality.

Or was that too judgmental? Maybe I should just let all these HN comments float by like the Buddhists say I ought. No need to respond or draw conclusions about anything in life, ever, just let it all pass by like a bird in the wind.

I expect you would wind up with more people dead from slow police response than saved from reduced swatting. Granted, I don't have data to back this belief up, but it seems to me if you're suggesting a change from how the experts currently run things, you should provide data that supports the change.

Yes, sorry, I agree. These are all moral questions. My position can be generally summed up as "the less individual an organization is, the less weight its rights have." This is because I consider the individual as the ultimate purpose of society.

That is, the more individuals your organization serves, the more it becomes a "thing whose arbitration between individuals is of societal import". I believe that issues of societal import should be decided by democratic means, whereas issues of individual import are decided by personal choice. Between the two is a sliding scale.

I'll leave it as an aside whether we consider it to be violent for a team of military-styled gunmen - clearly ready to kill - to descend on someone's home.

In this case nobody was shot or assaulted. In other cases people have been.

That the man in question did nothing deserving of a legitimate SWAT response means that for one to have happened was massively disproportionate. Because a SWAT team is a disproportionate response to doing absolutely nothing to provoke one.

So some of the big online streamers get swatted very frequently. They are generally reluctant to talk about it because they don't want to encourage the behavior. But a couple of the ones that live in Austin have revealed that they have an arranged visual signal they can use to tell the officers "we're ok this is just a swatting call."

Best I can tell, violent crime has an extremely high correlation with poverty and/or corruption, and little to no correlation with gun restrictions. The presence of extreme outliers is telling. For example, Iceland, Switzerland, Austria, and Norway have high gun ownership rates and relatively relaxed gun regulation, but low violent crime. Venezuela, Mexico, China, and Vietnam have strong firearms restrictions and terrible violent crime rates.
I really appreciate the quick test to show whether this problem exists for you.
If the difference is between life and death for the police, then absolutely they should be required to evaluate the situation. If that results in the police being killed, that is fine. They signed contracts saying they accept this potential consequence. On the other hand, the purported criminals have not been tried and found guilty. Until that has occurred they are innocent.

So if that means that when SWAT shows up, they walk in unarmed and get shot..so be it. That is acceptable. Having a potentially innocent person be killed is not.
Well it was just an anecdote, but in any case, there are a few strategies in this codebase, and I think if you look at https://github.com/amitport/senet-ai/blob/master/SmartUtilit... you'll find it does a little more than what you said.
Nor did I say it did either.

The proper term "Technical Order" is indeed salient to the Air Force, but the notional concept of a "technical order" is precisely what the parent describes and exists in all branches of service, deriving its authority from a long traceability chain that terminates as a general order issued by the Secretary of the respective branch of service, e.g. in the Navy, its functional equivalent is a "Technical Manual".

I beg to differ on distinction. Whereas both uniformed and civilian personnel are required to comply with executing technical orders per the same chain of authority, the latter is almost completely shielded from the punitive hammer of the UCMJ.
Wouldn't be some graph-traversing be enough? You find an important paper and then just search for papers which cite this one? And then sort by how many cite these (similar to the pagerank algorithm) and filter them by year and keyword?

There aren't that many different citing stiles, so I'm pretty sure it would be possible.

It's definitely convenient and served Java well in the sense that it always was a fairly easy language to get started with. Other languages make similar choices for the same reason; it trades off good enough against perfect. It wasn't a mistake but a deliberate choice. Also important to realize that this choice was made in the early nineties, 30 years ago.

But you are right that it's not free. Recent and upcoming changes to Java and the JVM are providing solutions in the form of e.g. value classes, records, etc.

Additionally, hotspot is doing lots of clever stuff under the hood where it makes sense. Finally, if you know what you are doing, Java provides plenty of ways to optimize things.
It’s like plonking a shovel in the ground and saying this is the spot.

Metaphors for everyday actions don’t need to be about forcing the real world into the computer world. A lot of the ways of thinking feel like they are one and the same.

Another example, for me, off the top of my head: rummaging with find and grep but then scanning the output with less feels identical to hunting for red 4x1 Lego blocks or M8 nylon locking nuts.
> Swatting only seems to exist in the us

I don’t think this is true. I personally know of a case in the UK where due to a false report of a gun, an armed squad was sent to someone’s house.

It may not be discussed as casually as it is in the US, but every country has armed police and they deploy them when they expect guns to be involved.
> Why shouldn't a teenager make 20 an hour?

It's not that he "shouldn't". Rather, many businesses cannot afford to both pay teenage employees $20/h, and also to not raise the prices. Some businesses can raise prices just fine, but others are not able to, as the customers will stop buying at higher price point. For example, if all groceries doubled their food prices, I'd still buy food (though maybe less than before), and likely spend more on it than I used to. However, if all restaurants doubled their prices, I'd pretty much stop eating out altogether, except special occasions.

I think the arguments on both sides are valid.

In dynamic programming languages, I generally prefer factoring business logic outside of procedures and into lookup tables. This is sometimes called "data-driven" or "table-oriented" programming. It eliminates control flow, which makes code more maintainable and less buggy.

Using Julia's dispatch mechanism accomplishes a similar goal. Here, multiple dispatch is akin to a table lookup. It may even be faster than the explicitley data-driven approach since the lookup can be done in compile-time.
To save another click, Alt+D will automatically highlight the address bar in Explorer. Works in all common internet browsers as well!
Is julia faster than python because it is a lisp and thus easy to write an optimizing compiler for it? Yeah, so is multiple dispatch something that is intertwined with SSA?
Because they do.

And they're almost inevitably corrupt.
The minimum wage was set to $3.35/hr in 1981, a time when 22.2% of Americans were employed in manufacturing vs. 10% today. There were many alternatives to working at McDonalds that stopped existing in the US over the last 40 years. The ultimate answer to what Americans would do instead of manufacturing turned out to be restaurant and retail work.

There's a few possibilities I can think of:

* Unpaid sick days

* The limitation is the other way around, they don't want to give a single pool of 30 paid days off, you're limited to 15 vacation days

* If you have a good relationship with your manager, it's a soft limit and they'll allow you to go over as long as it's not abused

* If you're part-time/hourly, trading days/hours with a co-worker

Our HR department combined vacation days and sick days into one pool several years ago when they realized most of us were faking sick days to get more vacation time.

Absolutely, copying a file to maintain things a certain way vs newing up a file are two completely different behaviours.
"Security nihilism" sounds like a dig, but actually, it's the same thing as "security realism". All security eventually fails, thus all security is eventually meaningless. Not only can you not have perfect security, but the entirety of security is just a hedge against the will of your opponent. Any kind of security - from a file cabinet lock to a nuclear weapon - only stops people less motivated than you. I don't care what thing you think you've created, it can be defeated, one way or another.

You know what you could do to make NSO's life harder, other than develop more security? Fight them. Have your politicians attack Israel for allowing the group to operate. Use sanctions, take a proportional response, condemn their actions at the UN, stop protecting them. Block Israel from the Apple Store. It's a more direct route, and more likely to succeed than making your goal "perfect security". (Would there be huge political challenges? Of course; but those are more approachable than "perfect security")

I never liked the new submenu in Windows and dislike when others copy it because it takes extra clicks. Typically the correct type for me is not even in there.

I’d rather have a menu item instead that simply makes new empty files, what I do 98% of the time. There could be a standard set of blanks according to extension, while obscure programs would need to handle zero byte files.
I doubt that would make any difference. The problem is that swatting is trivial and risk-free.

Phone networks make faking calls trivial, because spam callers want it to be. swatters piggyback on that to be able to swat you from all over the world.

Police departments in some countries will respond hard to claims of violence in progress, making it easy to get the response you desire.

There's no point having the death penalty for swatting if you can keep doing it from anywhere in the world with virtually no chance of being caught.

No, but like I said, those conclusions are based on other observations and information I've gathered. I merely spoke about them because they are the most relevant to this article and discussion.

When it comes to small financial transactions, society is at least comfortable people who choose privacy over transparency. Some places have banned businesses from only accepting card/electronic payments, but I'm not aware of anywhere that has banned businesses from only accepting cash.

That said, you're probably right in the long run. Cash is already less convenient, and it's only a matter of time until it's gone. The "transparency" argument will win, for the arguments you've outlined: "tax evasion, money laundering, political fixing, terrorism financing" and anything the government can prosecute under those descriptions. And to add to the list, non-accredited investors having a flutter, people spreading disinformation, people we don't like etc.
It's only transparency for us, big players still have means of privacy.

The gov do care about what you buy.

> there's no attack that will allow one seL4 process to write to the memory of another seL4 process it hasn't been granted write access to. Not for US$1B, not for US$1T, not for US$1000T.

Nitpick: for only about US$1M (give or take a order of magnitude or two depending on location), the process (assuming network access) can hire a assassin to kill you, pull up a shell on your computer, and give the process whatever priviledges it wants.
I think that the majority considers the system where a few billionaires can outvote everyone else to be the bad thing we are trying to avoid.
There's no conflict in that statement - something can be both unprecedented in its rate of change while simultaneously not expected to last for a particularly long time. Look to various natural phenomena for examples of this - a bad storm, a tornado, a tsunami, a wildfire, a volcanic eruption.
