Comments are full of gunpoint scenarios, but I think a far more likely scenario for most HN readers is law enforcement / customs agents asking you to unlock your device during travel or some other random checkpoint so they can scan it. In that case, I doubt the officer would even have a clue about the use of a duress password to selectively and silently delete some private data. I think the biggest risk would be that a scan of your device could detect the PAM config and duress script which could be a flag to monitor you more closely, or might possibly be considered illegal itself in some jurisdictions.
That’s a fantastic story to hear :)

> “my tribe’s English”

That's where we are already. What you propose is forcing the other tribes to speak your tribe's english.

I am not saying that there aren't advatages to teaching people about other tribe's dialects. If you combine that with inclusive policies you can merge dialects. When you enforce a specific dialect, then you exclude and alienate speakers of other dialects and this will INCREASE linguistic drift.

I see nothing sloppy about my argument and I don't think that particular word (especially when you make no effort to explain what is "sloppy") is more of an ad hominem attack than perhaps you intended.

I saw a trash bag on the highway yesterday. It was full but looked light, as if it were stuffed with pillows or plastic bags. I could have safely hit it with my car (I didn't) whereas other objects that size I wouldn't. This decision making happens often like with pieces of paper or plastic bags. I thought about how much contextual knowledge it takes for us to make these everyday decisions.
If you were working with the standard field then why would you need to bother defining the general concept of subtraction?

If you want to define the concept of subtraction then you probably don't want to assume you can multiply elements with an integer. Not that it can't be done but in general it will be a lot easier to define the additive inverse directly (if one exists).

Can geolocation easily be falsified? Sure you can jam GPS, but can you easily falsify it?

I'm not an expert, but I was surprised to learn that GPS chips aren't as simple as I imagined. E.g. to get a "normal" (civilian I guess) licence you have to manufacture your chips so that they shut down if the object is moving too quickly (otherwise it could be used for missiles).

Highways without intersections are very safe. Only on/off ramps. Mixing traffic directions and intersections are risk factors which mean that non-highways are more risky per kilometer.

This is why I wrote murex shell (https://github.com/lmorg/murex), it's an alternative $SHELL, so you'd use it in place of Bash or Zsh, but it's optimised for modern DevOps tools. Which means JSON and YAML are first class citizens.

It's syntax isn't 100% POSIX compatible so there is some new stuff to learn but it works with all the existing POSIX tools and is more readable than AWK and Perl but while also being terse enough to write one liners.
I believe fortress did that.
Energy consumption is a factor of distance. "Get people out of cars" in inherently implying removing the fundamental right to freedom of movement and living a better life. Cars have done more to equalize rural populations and give them a quality of life closer to city dwellers than any other modern invention maybe short of publicly funded water and power infrastructure.

I'd highly encourage you to move to the middle of the country and live a 30 minute drive outside of town (because that is all you can afford). You'll quickly realize that super bad evil cars are the means by which a good percentage of the population has access to fresh food, medical care, and other basic needs.
Charging stations are not free. Only relatively early adopter Tesla owners have free charging and only at Supercharger stations, and that is a very small sliver of the market.

Electric cars are still greatly more efficient on energy usage compared to gasoline cars. You'd have to grossly overcharge for electricity to make the comparison anywhere close.

I'd had assumed that you would want to give an answer that clarifies your stated position instead of deflecting and sending me off to https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Do_your_own_research.

If one's position is "I think our court system does a good job of defining this already", one should be able to point to an established definition that doesn't also apply equally to many other antiregulated contexts. Otherwise what the court system is doing a good job of is not "defining".

> Unfortunately, speech laws are not a topic that you can learn in an afternoon.

Laws are numerous and capricious. I'm not asking about laws. I'm not even asking about history. I'm asking about any existing philosophical position that differentiates what we _should_ restrict from what we _should not_ restrict. If we start from the notion that capital-F Fraud is bad, which we must since we regulate it, surely we should be able to say why it is so and apply the same reason elsewhere.

"Up until about 2013 it made just as much sense as anything to assume unstructured text was a good way to output data at the command line..."

But in 2013 a certain data format called JSON was standardized as ECMA-404..."

"Had JSON been around when I was born in the 1970’s Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie may very well have embraced it as a recommended output format to help programs “do one thing well” in a pipeline."

This whole post hinges on the theory that JSON is a revolutionary technology that no one had created something like before, and no one even considered creating before.

But that seems completely wrong, right?

"The Xerox Network Systems Courier technology in the early 1980s influenced the first widely adopted standard. Sun Microsystems published the External Data Representation (XDR) in 1987. XDR is an open format, and standardized as STD 67 (RFC 4506)"

Sure. You’re ignoring that the global market for cars is rapidly growing. What they may lose in cam shaft sales, they may gain in EV part sales anyway. Battery sales. Time will tell.

Could you clarify which aspect of it is manipulative?

The commenter's advice is emphasized quite a bit in negotiations books/courses. If you want the other person to listen to you, it really does help if you can summarize his stance in his voice - such that he will say "This guy gets what I'm trying to say."

Probably the majority of heated discussions I've witnessed is where they are talking past one another, and as a 3rd party observer it's very clear neither side understands where the other party is coming from, and they waste most of the time addressing things the other person isn't saying.

NVC is less explicit about it, but the principle is there:

"So it sounds like you're frustrated because the script takes an hour to run and you believe it can run in 10 minutes, thus saving you some time?"

Sure, there're a lot of factors that can affect how disease spreads, like demographics, genetics, climate, health system, sociability, temperature, cafe culture, saunas, wfh incidence, international travel, travel links, tourism...

I'm quite happy to accept that 'population density' is inadequate - I mention it only in passing in my comment, the point I'm making is that Sweden is not a country you would expect to perform at the european average, and given that, the most natural thing to do is to compare a country with its neighbors. Neighboring countries usually share many factors, and on top of that, they have a direct transmission effect too.

Sweden did much worse than its neighbors. The explanation for that is either in the ways that Sweden is different from its neighbors, or in the difference in public policy.

I certainly don't know which to blame, but I don't want to hear any more lionization of the Swedish approach that doesn't solidly get to grips with that question.
The "pet project" was the dependency in my example which license would be violated.

Tuli Health (YC S21)-transforming independent pharmacies into diagnostic centers
During the YC batch, we transformed our original business model offering home-based healthcare services to a company that transforms UK community pharmacies into diagnostic centres. Instead of travelling a long distance and spending a long time to receive diagnostic tests, customers can now receive diagnostic tests from their local pharmacies, just around the corner to where they live.

We offer an easy-to-use software for the pharmacies to register and manage patients for diagnostic tests, starting with COVID tests today and other tests soon.

We initially thought out-of-pocket home and workplace-based healthcare is our go-to-market, so we explored the option of corporate contracts. As we try to establish more distribution channels, I realised that local independent pharmacies may also be a potential distribution channel for out-of-pocket healthcare as they already have an established customer base.

What’s the future?
COVID has led to unprecedented changes in our user behaviour. Many services have now become hyper-localised. COVID tests led to the pharmacies delivering the first diagnostic tests. In the future, other diagnostic tests will also be available: STI, allergy, biochemistry profile, gluten intolerance….

They could easily cancel all people who don't like their presence, and be able to shape the narrative with their propaganda.

People say stuff like this all the time—Paul Graham famously trotted it out as a retort to the existence of a gender pay gap—but it doesn't comport with observations. From some of my personal notes on this topic last week:

There's a widespread belief that capitalism seeks out efficiency. With most organizations being capitalist enterprises, so the belief continues, they are an extension of this. You can see this show up in arguments about the gender pay gap. If we could cut costs just by hiring women to do the same job, they say, then we would. The veracity of the claims about the size of the pay gap notwithstanding, the claim that corporations would seize the opportunity to cut costs like this doesn't jibe with reality. Corporations are not observed to be a perfect extension of the law of capitalist efficiency. A corporation as an entity is not a perfectly rational actor operating in its own self interest, following both from the irrationality of the people who make it up and from instances of where they do behave rationally operating in their own individual self interests, counter to the organization's.

There is hardly ever a Taylor-like figure [around].

... i.e., someone tasked with stamping out the sorts of inefficiency in the way that these arguments demand it is being addressed.

We need to coin some sort of shorthand akin "the Gell–Mann amnesia effect", where we comment upon the tendency of people to automatically ascribe e.g. competence and efficiency to institutions, on the basis that they are institutions, while ignoring immediately available evidence to the contrary.

Oh, the stated position is quite clear.

The stated position is that you are going to be completely unable to understand, in an afternoon, the nuances of a topic, for which people spend their lives studying.

Thus, if you actually care about the topic, you need to read the supreme court cases or the numerous literature on the topic.

Otherwise, you are not going to be able to understand what the supreme court even does, or why they do it, when there is thousands of pages of reasoning, on this stuff.

> surely we should be able to say why it is so and apply the same reason elsewhere

And I am saying that such discussions require you to actually read the primary sources here, which is books and books, and court case after court case.

Sorry, but complicated topics are not solved by people debating a paragraph here and there.

Yes, you will actually have to take a class on this, or read books on this, to understand it.

Sorry, that's just life. When you ask extremely general and expansive questions, about philosophy, such as "what is the difference between different speech", unfortunately these are topic for which there is lifetimes of work discussing it, and you are not going to be able to have a debate in a couple paragraphs on it.
I support vaccine mandates (best way to move society past the pandemic), but an exemption for those with healthy immune systems who can prove via an antibody test or previous positive Covid-19 PCR test that they have naturally developed COVID antibodies after surviving an infection makes sense to me.

In the 19th century, yellow fever survivors were considered to be “acclimated citizens” who were more eligible for jobs, because the employer didn’t have to worry about them catching and dying of yellow fever. The position has historic precedence and seems to stand up, according to current scientists’ analysis of immunity after covid-19 infection being 80% or greater, similar to the J&J vaccine.

Random example: In geometry code, you might distinguish between points and vectors, where point + vector = point, point - point = vector etc.

It can then also be convenient to have a special type/value Origin, which (while functionally identical to point(0, 0)) allows you to e.g. write vector = point - origin to clearly express your intent of turning a vector into a point.

-1 * origin is not meaningful, but point - origin is (while point + origin is not).

I see a lot of articles about how government reactions were good or bad for COVID.

It seems the country's that "responded" the best all have low population density and/or are physically isolated from other countries. I see people praising leadership from places like New Zealand and South Korea, but maybe it is just easy to keep people out of these places.
Can we, for a second, remember that walking-makes-thinking-easier is a classic ADHD/ASD symptom?

And that both ADHD and ASD have been linked to creative, deep thinking?

Charles Darwin, the #1 example in this article, has been long suspected to have had Asperger's (which we classify as ASD today)[1]; and had exhibited symptoms of ADHD (one makes the other more likely)[2].

That link is only a surprise to neurotypicals. The answer is in plain sight:

"On the link between great thinking and obsessive walking: it's ADHD/ASD!”

EDIT: the word obsessive alone should give a clue were to look.

While walking might make thinking easier for everyone, it might be outright necessary for people with conditions like ASD/ADHD.
