Well that depends on the crime, and a whole host of other factors including the fact that it is ciruclar logic.

We cant trust them because they re offend, but they re offend because of lack of opportunities created by society not trusting them....

It is certainly true for property crimes, drug crimes, and other such actions.

Violent crimes may be an exception to this, but then to the OP's point, if they are violent why are they out in the population to begin with?
> A major difference is that the police would issue dispersal orders, then attack the BLM protesters indiscriminately, or call curfews which basically declared open season on any kind of protester, journalist, civilian, doing anything outdoors after X o'clock. The police were shooting rubber bullets at people sitting on their own porches.

Whilst also advising Proud Boys and Three Per Centers of their "enforcement plans", texting them to "take cover" and that they'd be given an "all clear" when they come back out.

Or being advised that although their leaders had active arrest warrants, that they would not be arrested at any protests that were "supervised" by Portland Police Department, so they should "feel free" to come to protests.
It is also supported by immense oil wealth, and managed by a culturally homogenous (relatively) society for it's own benefit.

It seems super disingenuous to imply that noisy protests are "violent" by citing laws and regulations which pertain to the treatment of detainees.

Our media entertained a serious debate about whether looting or burning a neighborhood to the ground was "violence" or not, and the many preferred to refer to these events as "fiery but mostly peaceful protests". How did we go from that to tenuous analogies of torture?

> I stated from the beginning that this is a class issue and not a left/right one.

And you are blatantly wrong. You omitted mentioning left/right when talking about a conservative protest, that does not change the fact it's a conservative protest.

You're certainly free to keep floundering about this but it won't change the simple reality:

Freedom Convoy is a largely conservative protest, as it is largely speaking to conservative talking points.

-

That doesn't mean every person there is a conservative, it does not mean being against vaccine mandates makes you a conservative, it simply means the people most represented by the tenants of the convoy are conservatives.

You are commenting in bad faith because either you don't know enough about this subject to realize it's a right-oriented movement... or you're aware of this but intentionally trying to bury that fact to force a pretty unrelated diatribe.

You tried to blame my source of news for a take not at all tied to news articles, which was ridiculous.

If Google goes through with the manifest V3 change, there are going to be a lot of people looking for a new browser. They've become accustomed to browsing with blockers (tracking and analytics) and won't want to use a browser that doesn't easily support blockers.

Firefox can scoop up a lot of these users if they don't force out blockers and other addons using manifest V2. I could see articles in Fast Company, Gizmodo, etc. with headlines like "Is Firefox the Hot New Browser (Again)?". It could lead to a huge wave — and hopefully to Google walking back their promises of a forced transition.
One thing that might help is using ":set virtualedit=all". This makes all lines act as if there are unlimited spaces at the end of line. That means you can move anywhere on the screen by cursor or by clicking with your mouse, etc, and not have to worry about typing in all the padding yourself. Once you place a character at column N, it will insert spaces up to column N-1 then place the new character.

I'm going to hop on my hobby horse again for a second:

One of their first points is this:

>Designing a monospace font is much harder than a traditional, proportional one: being constrained by the same width of all glyphs can result in a boring or unreadable font.

And they're absolutely right. But it begs the first-principals question-- why code using a monospace font? Today, every major editor that isn't terminal-based supports proportional width fonts beautifully. It's also incredibly rare to see modern style guides that depend on having consistent column widths. In 2022, there's no technical reason to code using monospaced fonts. And there are a ton of beautiful and readable fonts out there -- There are probably a dozen pre-installed on your system that are more beautiful and readable than this font.

You see this tag line time-and-time again. "A font designed by and for software developers." But font design is and art and a discipline. Doing it well is very hard.
Parler? Yeah they had a single hosting provider (AWS) and were in two app stores (Apple & Android). I believe the app could still be installed directly on phones through downloading, just not through the app stores.

And they had to find a new hosting provider: https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2021/1/19/bb-parler-moves-...

So yeah, they (and their users) were inconvenienced, but they agreed to the terms and conditions of these providers.

It's kind of like if you have a restaurant and you violate the terms of your lease (or your lease has no guarantee of future occupancy). The landlord can kick you out, and it'll be a huge inconvenience to move.

I think the lesson is that if you want to do something a little edgy, self-host or find an off-shore host with terms and conditions you're comfortable with. Or, if this keep happening enough, new hosting companies will start up that have fewer terms and conditions. But the big providers are going to be the most strict and care the least about your unique situation and your infinitesimal contribution to their bottom line.

One interesting thing to note is that Medicare (US gov't paid healthcare for the elderly) pays hospitals DOUBLE the price for the same procedures that an MD can do in her own clinic. They pay this supposedly so that hospitals can take in patients who can't afford to pay in the emergency room, etc.

But to me this is another one of those cases where poor government policy boosts prices. Hospitals already have an incentive to buy up small practices to reduce competition, but if hospitals are paid double the price for the same procedure compared to an ambulatory clinic, the government is just incentivizing concentration in the market.

Biggest two lessons of job performance I ever learned.

1) Your future hire-ability is determined by the work you do and the results you achieve. If you aren't an A-hole to work with this helps.

2) Your performance rating within a company is based on perception. If you are perceived as doing good work then you get a good rating. There are no objective internal measures of engineer quality in any company.
Desalination requires enormous amounts of energy (although California has large amounts of solar available, ~10GW continuous on most sunny days per ElectricityMap.org [1]), but also creates a high salinity brine that is toxic to most marine life that must be discharged somewhere to mix with existing ocean water.

For drinking water, it could be done (at significant cost), with a shift to reclaimed water for landscaping needs. But it is absolutely untenable for agriculture. It's also likely that Hoover Dam's electrical generation output will need to be replaced, in some part, with battery backed utility scale solar (as Lake Mead's water level declines below turbine intake at 950 feet; current water level is ~1050 feet [2]).

We've known for over 100 years Western development was unsustainable (due to water) when the Colorado River Compact was originally formed [3] [4], and it was done anyway.

>I made no claims about uniqueness so I don’t understand your first paragraph.

You responded to a point from a previous poster with "In countries with mostly free higher education doctor’s salaries are less on average than in the U.S." as if those doctor low salaries were the result of less debt (which is your argument throughout this thread - that debt makes salaries higher), and I pointed out that this is not unique to doctors, and the costs across all fields don't seem to have debt/salary correlation. Your evidence for your thesis does not hold up outside doctors, and then only for US doctors, so it's hard to believe there is some mystical economic law working only for that sub-case.

>the debt level doesn’t come into play when determining the salary needed to attract the labor of highly intelligent

It does. However your claim is "You really think having several hundred thousand dollars in student loans doesn’t in any way affect salaries?" as if the debt forces employers to pay more. It nearly certainly works the other way - if you are going for a job that pays a lot, you are willing to take on more debt to obtain it. Thus those teaching students how to make so much money are able to charge more for teaching that skill.

This is the exact same causal direction of pretty much any asset. Something is more valued, so people will pay more to obtain it. You're implying the other direction.

>To be able to attract the talent the salaries need to be high enough to service the debt

This again makes little sense as to direction. Quants could get PhDs in STEM (mine is in math, and I have a lto of quant friends) and they make vastly more than all but the highest doctors, yet they don't have all the debt. As the quant field matures (and if it lasts), the cost to obtain training will likely rise.

Not sure what your paper shows, except that which I already claimed: doctors are rare, skilled, and take a long time to make. As such they will get paid a lot because their skills are in demand. This has zero to do with debt - this is exactly supply and demand.

Next, again because of supply and demand, those able to teach people to become doctors realize those doctors will make a lot of money, so they, like all free market actors, will charge what the market will bear. Thus the causation is opposite what you claim - each step in the chain absorbs what the market will bear.

It's not like schools decided to charge far beyond what anyone would pay, and later the wages rose to pay for that debt beyond what people could previously pay. It's more that as wages rose, due to demand, school increased prices to capture what the market would bear to provide those skills.

> You can then ask if they could show a random internal document that they worked on. This depends on the role. For example, an engineer might have an RFC, a product manager some reports or status updates on the team's progress, and a designer the outline of feature proposal.

That is going to be a non-starter for a lot of prospects. While yes, we can say that we are stripping out sensitive data this still feels sketchy.
Another thing the US could do to reduce prices is to give people the option for certain expensive procedures (hip transplants, knee replacements, etc.) to be done outside the US by qualified doctors. Then the patient could get a discount on their insurance every month or get an incentive from medicare that splits the savings with the patient.
The alternative schemes he's referring to are batch auctions, which don't eliminate price-time priority per se. What they do is bucket time priority into discrete chunks, which eliminate a certain class of high frequency strategy that probably isn't particularly economically productive.

The problem with batch auctions relative to continuous time trading is that that discreteness forces market makers to charge larger spreads. That's the primary trade-off. Volume would likely be dramatically reduced while achieving comparably efficient asset allocation, but at slightly higher average transaction costs. Those higher average transaction costs however would likely go along with better tail behavior of spreads in unusual market conditions, and maybe better human interpretability under unusual conditions as well.

What it comes down to is a question of how much those non-monetary benefits are worth to your economy. The longer you force market makers to hold inventory, the more they have to charge for that risk, all else equal. However, when market volatility spikes, they're also going to be less able to play certain types of high frequency games that erode liquidity when it's most needed. It's kind of a robustness/efficiency trade-off, like many things.
Capitalism is beneficial as long as profits aligns with increasing productivity. However capitalism is harmful when profit incentives encourages creating bottlenecks. The appstore is currently a bottleneck and Apple has no incentives to fix it, removing their profit incentive from keeping that bottleneck around is good for everyone. If it really benefits the user to have everything running in the Appstore then it would still keep it there even if it had a 5% fee, just that Apple would no longer try to make everything go via the app store even when it doesn't make sense for it to.

this is actually quite hard to define for me.

it's something about having the creative freedom to decide on the solution to a problem, and then also the satisfaction of building it out into something which works, works well and then benefits others.

along that path of [requirements -> design -> implement -> test -> release] there are numerous rewarding moments but when the whole thing comes together, there's another meta-reward of knowing that there now exists something where there was not before, and that I created that thing. Quite often, entirely.

Another level of this, is satisfaction in colleagues taking components/services/entire systems I've constructed and adapting, extending, changing them to do more than I thought possible. Also, seeing colleagues start their own components/services/systems in the pattern/design of something I did, and making a success of it.

After a while, it's like seeing an entire ecosystem spring up around seeds I created.

However, to translate that into what it really is - the team I work with manages to build an actually useful product that real people use and enjoy using. I find that highly rewarding.
> I think he's conflating the way that it's used in popular discourse (which is often outcome dependent), with what I think is a fairly clear definition.

He's not conflating, he's just taking a different stance than you to linguistic prescriptivism vs. descriptivism.

> He's then calling for a measure that can be used objectively without ascertaining a person's intent. I actually think that's counter-productive and leaves you vulnerable to (for want of a better word) manipulation.

No, he's not. He never mentions intent in the post. He is calling for a measure that can be used objectively without ascertaining the actions outcome.
Because countries keep asking to be included in NATO. And why do they do that? Because they keep feeling threatened by Russia. And why do they feel threatened? Because Russia keeps doing things like invading Georgia and Ukraine. Countries flee to NATO for protection, if they can.

Markdown was meant to be rendered, not left as plaintext (for viewing, at least as a primary use-case).
