Technology can stay 'inert' even if it is invented, for example the Romans already knew steam machines but didn't find a use for them, probably because they had slaves to do all that cheaper. Until recently solar power tech was the same ...
There's an interesting book I read not long ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_Policing

For the most part I didn't learn anything new. Though didn't necessarily agree with everything.

If you were to list out every task the police do and don't do.

Eliminate any and all laws that the police never enforce.

Fix any law which is disproportionately applied. For example, less than 1% of traffic accidents are because of speeding. Yet police enforce speeding laws extensively doing huge damage to society. On top of that, so many of the applications are intentionally meant to be antagonistic toward society. Speeding laws are meant to be set where 80% of society does not break the law. That's not at all how it is. It's set such that 100% of society is breaking the law. With intention of revenue generation.

It's not just speeding. It's all the petty laws meant to generate revenue. Does your bike have a bell? These laws change police from law enforcement to antagonistic toward society. This is the fundamental problem. The police are no longer there to help you, they are there to be against you. Anything you say will be used AGAINST you in the court of law. Anything you say will NEVER BE USED FOR you in the court of law. The police are the enemy, this is intentional design and no politician ever will consider fixing this problem.
> if they jack up rents and as a result can't get any tenants

Why won't they get any tenants? Do people have somewhere else to stay? Will they leave the city altogether?
I remember that one. I have to say I miss the CDs loaded with what we'd call theming assets today. Sound themes, sound files for all those desktop apps that let you pick sound files for when your render finished or Lotus alarm went off or whatever.

Color themes for your desktop. Wallpapers, icons, some fonts and even some clip art both in EPS and BMP. Browse by category. Work assets, sure. But also family, holiday, history...

This could be done incredibly well today, but it isn't, that I know of. We've made big strides but I think there's still plenty of room for this important little stuff.

This why it is utmost critical to deploy the mitigating fixes to the core log aggregations first. Elasticsearch, Logstash, Graylog probably too. The vector here is even more annoying, you can think of something like:

Unrelated app writes stuff to a logfile. This get's shipped to logstash. The log message was crafted in a way to break the logstash pipeline with an exception (invalid json, grok errors or something)... which get's written to the log of logstash, including parts of the original message.

Or, you can trigger indexing errors in elasticsearch by forcing individual keys in events to have conflicting types (send "banana: 42" first, making it an int, and then send "banana: '42'", making it a string). This can cause ES to dump the field name, and sometimes a value if I recall right, to it's own log.

In both cases, this could potentially compromise a vulnerable log aggregation behind an unaffected service.
The histrionics, conspiracy theories and outright lies in this thread are outrageous. The US justice system is not the same as despotic countries like Russia or China.

Reality Winner will be released from prison soon. Chelsea Manning, who leaked the info to him, the actual whistleblower who broke the laws, is a free woman. (Could you imagine if Chelsea tried to transition to a woman in Russia or China or other nations that are coming up in this thread in comparison? Just goes to show how fundamentally different these societies are, that she could transition to a woman while incarcerated!)

If Assange hadn't played his games avoiding the court for the better part of a decade, the dude would probably already have done his time and be free.

Although it's entertaining to read the astronomically terrible takes in this thread, I did hope to see a little more intelligence in this community.

I found exactly the same with my brief experience with Tailwind. Great fun to write, couldn't make head nor tail of it when I came back a few weeks later. Perhaps this changes if you use Tailwind day in day out though!

I've stuck with styled-components for now, though I confess that I've started to wonder if the the verbosity of creating a (styled) component for everything, passing props, etc. is a bit excessive since trying Tailwind.

I think you have it backwards, NYC is expensive because everyone and their dog wants to vacation there.
I think the bigger problem (which the example conveniently sidesteps) is that smart contracts don’t involve people. They involve _wallets_. I can have as many wallets as I want. Unless there is some external (centralized, trusted) unique identity mechanism, there’s no way to ensure the vote isn’t rigged. It also means that I could make a smart contract where I’m on all sides of the contract (e.g. say I’m trying to pump the market value of park-improvement projects…).

Outside of “a few neighbors who all know/trust each other and the public key for each other’s wallets” example, this all falls apart.
> believe that Wikileaks' activity is journalistic,

Anyone claiming Wikileaks wasn't journalism is of the same scum of the earth that claim PV isn't journalism. It's disgusting.

The whole idea that journalism is an identity is fucks my asinine. You practice journalism, it's an act. You don't need any belief, there is an objective reality and verifiable acts that define whether journalism has taken place.
Oh for sure and I think that's an important point: this device didn't pop out of nowhere.

Something of this complexity strongly suggests an existing school/guild/etc which developed the knowledge and crafts around designing and building "clockwork" devices like this. China had discovered the geared wheel centuries previous so gears were known. It's the integration of the basic underlying technologies that is surprising, and I don't think it's a huge leap to presume that there must be more of these devices out there waiting to be discovered!

Why do you use Workflowy over Dynalist?
I have used both extensively.(it has been 2+y since I used Workflowy though)

Dynalist just offers so much more, and all the additional features are critically useful(at least to me).

Does not seem to sacrifice simplicity in any significant way.

But Workflowy is so much more popular, with an active community that builds stuff and creates resources.

Besides the price and the first mover advantage, what is the appeal of Workflowy over Dynalist for you?

It will soon be time for me to renew my dynalist membership, so I am trying to find out what I am missing.

The people are just the cells of the same beast since ancient times. Empire. In all shapes and forms, it devours what it grew in and becomes the same brutish atrocity over and over again.

> The government issues you a deed declaring that some parcel of land and whatever is on it is yours.

Small nitpick but this is not how deeds work, at least not in the US. In the US the seller provides you with a deed. The government simply records it, and the title company insures it based on their research of the chain of title. The government doesn't issue deeds unless they are the seller or grantor of the land.

You do. None of the logging libraries I’ve used in the past 5 years even have log rotation as a feature, from what I can tell.
The screens get dirty, I find the build quality to be in general worse (perhaps with the exception of the microsoft offering) than the alternative, they are too light, half of them do stupid things like switch between tablet and laptop and bend in ways they shouldn't. I feel touch is more suited to a tablet.

Edit:

I also find that the keyboards are often neglected in 'touch screen laptops'
Thinkpads are great, the problem is the price, specially overseas because of the exchange in countries which currency value have lowered in comparison to the dollar. Any Thinkpad was barely affordable and this situation became worse. A X1 Carbon is a dream, but it costs 5-7 times more than a low cost laptop (and low quality as well). A T490 is 3-4 times more expensive than a low cost laptop.

I'm typing this comment in my lovely T440, but my next laptop will probably not be a Thinkpad. They are great, but having one doesn't payoff nowadays (YMMV).
Sure, it's more complicated, but that the basic truth. That's why everything stated. Then people can dig all the details and the 10 years of twist and turns.
There are probably five broad levels of decentralisation here:

1. Open network, but each user lives on a single server, each conversation is dependent on a single server: (XMPP MUCs)

2. Open network, but each user lives on a single server (with some ability to manually migrate between servers), conversations are replicated across all participating servers: (Matrix, ActivityPub, SMTP, NNTP)

3. Open network, users are replicated across multiple servers, conversations are replicated across all participating servers: (Matrix + MSC1228 or MSC2787 or similar)

4. Open network, users live on a single P2P node, conversations are replicated across all participating nodes: (Briar, today's P2P Matrix)

5. Open network, users are replicated across multiple P2P nodes, conversations are replicated across all participating nodes: (P2P Matrix + MSC2787 etc).

So yes, XMPP is decentralised by some definition, but it's kinda useful to map out the whole space.
It's actual stroads that stand out to Europeans. The excessively-wide, long, straight roads with an enormous lit-up business sign every 200-500m. "Motel 6", "Firestone", "Tire Center", then an American flag as big as a house[1].

Generic Associated Types which provide a limited form of higher kinded types as a native language feature are pretty close to being stabilised now https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44265 As always with Rust, work is released on an "when it's done" basis but estimates are pointing to some point in the first half of next year.

While I'm on this topic, the other big rust feature that looks to be coming soon is the new non-llvm-specific inline asm syntax. A stabilisation PR has been opened, which entails a last check over before the feature flag to enable on stable is switched (followed by a 6-12 week lag until it actually hits stable while it rides the release trains): https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/91728

But is it actually more efficient for others to access that market? The market needs a massive parking lot to accommodate those cars, which means they need a lot of ground. That too is inefficient. I've seen a comparison of two commercial blocks close together; one was old, had a row of old shops along the street and hadn't really been changed much since the 1920s or so. The other was new, modern, had a parking lot serving a single fast-food restaurant. But that meant it had only a single restaurant, and that single restaurant just didn't make anywhere near as much money as that row of old shops.

Elsewhere in this discussion someone pointed out that shops owners often resist attempts to turn their street into a pedestrian-only area, because they fear it will drive away their customers, but every time it turns out to be a boost to those shops. Turns out the car isn't actually that important. You can save a lot of wasted space and money by making shops more accessible to other forms of traffic.

"How could there be any evidence of that?"

Studies, surveys, anything at all to back up your claim. Sounds like there isn't (use of absolutes in your statement was probably the problem).

"Non-life threatening situations that have absolutely no need for someone with a gun to respond."

Depends on one's perspective and a bunch of other factors. You might be surprised about how many people carry guns in various professions (medical workers, mental health worker, various first responders, the general public, etc). The vast majority of people never have to fire their weapon. Most never even have to use their weapon. It's utility isn't solely based on being fired.

"In the hypothetical situation where we have all of these problems, but we don't have the police and never had, do you honestly think we'd assign all of these duties to one position?"

Yes, mostly due to staffing issues like response time and cost, which is something you didn't really addresses in your answer. You also mention things like domestic violence, which is actually one of the most high risk calls you can get.

You talk about armed personnel being more expensive. That's not exactly true. People become expensive based on the level of training they need/have. A gun is a part of that, but so are many other things like mental health training. You could still use police as responders for mental health issues with some level of training while waiting for existing social workers or medical professionals to arrive. Even under the model of using another type of person police likely have to show up in case things turn violent anyways.

"The police are unqualified to handle most of the calls they are called out to."

How so? Or is this another case of using the wrong words (most or unqualified)? If it's a matter of training, it may be cheaper to provide police with additional training rather than hire additional forces an incur all that overhead of benefits etc. The three things you mentioned were quality of life, violent situations, and mental health issues. You seem to accept that violent situations require police response, so would be qualified for that. Although there are numerous situations in the other two categories that could quickly turn violent an would likely require police presence even if they are not the sole responders. It sounds like the quality of life stuff are generally easy tasks that police are qualified to handle (you even mention a police report for a stolen bike). The mental health situations depend on the level of training. Relatively few departments have adequate mental health training. I think this could be handled with training on how to approach those situations and talk people down while the social worker or mental health professional arrives.
Please elaborate. I’d like to learn more about how you think DAOs might help. Have been thinking myself about that.

Regarding "most facts aren't convincing" - I think that the most productive thing to do, if two or more people strongly disagree about facts, is to drill down into the underlying definitions that provide context for the facts.

An analogy is, in effect, a definition. And a definition is not a fact, but which definitions people accept determine which facts they accept.

>There is also a catch in the hypothetical - let’s assume that the utility gain for the gifted son from living in the suburbs would be larger than the utility gain for the disabled son from living in the city. A pure utilitarian, then, must choose the suburbs. Nagel’s view is this: if you say that you would live in the city for the sake of your disabled son, despite it being the case that moving to the city creates more utility in total, you are not a utilitarian (at least in all circumstances), but rather an egalitarian. You value the equality of the boys more than you do maximising the overall levels of well-being.

The very idea that there is some measusable "utility" to compare in the two cases, independent from your moral values and sentiments, is inane.

>Let’s introduce another scenario: Imagine that the gifted boy has a total utility of 80, and the disabled boy has a total utility of 40.

What that "utility" unit would measure?

Money they can make for you? Their pontential on their own? Their future contribution to society (in what terms? monetary? intellectual?)? Any other of 500 factors (perhaps combined)?

What if you don't want to help build a society that neglects the needs of disabled people because of their lesser contribution, and thus your utility function - ie. your desired goal maximization includes helping the disabled son?

In the examples, it is assumed that ulility == favoring gifted son, which means the utility function you'll use is taken for granted (and the whole thing is presented as only a matter of whether you value utility or not).
