Until they're released. At which point they'll have an even harder time getting a job, they'll be even more alienated and broken, and they'll likely only be able to associate with other criminals. Sounds like a recipe for increasing crime.

> Consequences are a deterrent.

Not really. If your options are "die" or "face potential consequences" you choose the latter every time.

I really doubt that "I don't want to go to prison" is why most people don't commit crime. They don't commit crime because... crime sucks, it's not fun, and it's not really necessary for most people. The people who do crime aren't like "haha they won't prosecute me, sweet, finally I can go commit crimes". They're desperate.

This seems so obvious.

> This is intangible.

Kind of a cop out. The reality is that people who go to prison have an extremely high rate of ending up back in prison, often for even worse crimes.
With respect, I prefer to ignore anecdotal explanations that conveniently lack the ability to be verified. But thanks for adding your perspective.
Receiving free housing doesn't obligate him into bettering himself. I know most people totally disagree with this, and people usually get angry when I say things like that. But I don't care. The government has far more than enough money to literally just give everyone a free apartment, or a basic income (and I already pay so much income tax, I am totally fine with some of it going to help support others who are struggling). Maybe if Andre's parents had received that 20 years ago it would have made a serious difference in his life. He's figured out how to survive on his own in the meantime, and spent the past 15-20 years living that way, so it's not going to be easy for him to change from that way of living. Throwing him in jail is not going to make that happen -- in fact he's more likely to end up with a far worse psychological outlook after spending time in jail for... stealing a pack of diapers?

Here's a very relevant paper on the issue, where the researcher concludes a number of suggestions, including "we need to consider ceasing to use prison as punishment" and "we should draw on the research of what we know works to prevent recidivism, especially literacy programs, skills training and GED, as well as educating prisoners to associate’s degree level in higher education and restore financial support for these successful practices": https://www.researchgate.net/publication/258834307_On_the_Ef...
I once worked at a company that specialized in R&D. Short projects, ad-hoc teams, etc. Kept things fast, interesting and ever changing. I consider that time to be one of the best (and happiest) of my career.

But then some of our projects turned into production systems, and the place started to take on a more "traditional" software shop feel with terms like SDLC and CMMI being thrown around. Then we got bought by a bigger company - that was the last straw for me. Oh well, was nice while it lasted :(
Why not just use the visitor pattern? Sum types are obviously better, but the Church encoding for sum types is clunkier than visitors in my opinion.
I feel that every release, the python team should do some soul searching and pick 5 modules to downgrade to external package(pypi) status, then pick 5 deserving external packages and elevate them to base status.

This would, for one, add a bit of churn to the standard library leading to a more healthy ecosystem. And two, give everyone a target to complain about, I mean, people are going to complain about something, might as well focus their attention.

what's the major glaring security issue of cgi that you would consider a dealbreaker for a simple http-based service?

(this is an honest question, because when I saw this list I actually have a python script running on an apache web server that is using the cgi module to access post variables, and I never saw any need to change that, as any other "more modern" solution would be much more bothersome to configure and maintain.)
The fact that much of the US and similar places around the world are scaled for car travel means this comparison between living with a car and without a car in such a locale is completely distorted. That is, yeah, I think it's the Midwest in you.

When people's socioeconomic situation is so incredibly messed up and they know the system doesn't care about them, they'll do whatever they have to to survive. The cracks in the system have always been pushed to the fringes of society where the middle and upper class didn't have to pay attention to them, but now the cracks are visible downtown.
Can't we just teach critical thinking in schools and how to do research, learn to determine who has credibility in which fields etc?

This is an endless war against miss information. What is wrong today may be right tomorrow. Things change and people need to be smart enough to make their own determination.

People should also be smart enough to figure out whom to vote for and what to vote for not relying on some in TV or where to tell them.

The problem is most driving laws are selectively enforced. I'd say 90%+ of drivers on the road near me are speeding to some degree. Where do we draw the line, right at the speed limit so that someone going 2 mph over gets a 1k fine?

Tailgating being enforced more heavily (it's already probably illegal under reckless driving laws) would be great.

Many software projects impose targets on themselves for things like 'software quality' that involves even stable code being checked and changed.

For example, maybe they've received reports the code has bugs, but nobody thinks fixing is a good use of maintainers' time - or with such an old format, maybe no-one even knows what the correct behaviour should be.

Maybe they have decided all file loading and network-interaction code should be fuzz-tested for security bugs. Or that every such module should have at least x% unit test coverage. Perhaps the the code uses deprecated methods and needs to be modernised. Or maybe they simply feel every file ought to have an owner, and nobody trusted has stepped up.

> Real-world IPC is something like 3x (!) that of Intel right now - obviously it also clocks lower

That's the problem, though -- if you clock yourself much lower, of course you can get higher IPC; you can pack more into your critical paths.

Now, certainly Apple has some interesting and significant innovations over Intel here, but quoting IPC figures like that is highly misleading.

Wow what a poor take. "In other words, as criminals terrorize Seattle, its leaders still think police are the problem. The lawlessness will persist until Seattle voters stage a revolt."
I think a better take would be that it leaders acknowledge that police are not the solution. They would probably be basing this off the fact that the US has the highest incarceration rates and still has the highest violent crime.

Ask HN: May we please talk gas tax and subsidies? Napkin math help, please
I have beenlooking into gas pricing (gasoline for cars)

Specifically in California.

I would like some help on how to eval, as this isn't my area - but I am trying to learn.

I began with putting this together, and I would like contributors:

---

[0] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YRHFbplboIIxinR3q-NYp1Lv9VEqryL2MCv60OOujuQ/edit?usp=sharing

The premise is:

If you look at the current gas prices, with both state and federal taxes (for said programs of road quality and such) - and compare it with the fed/state income taxes that come off gross income, coupled with sales taxes, property taxes, and then the reverse tax of subsidies to companies who receive them, as compared to the proofit margins said companies are getting, what is the TRUE buying power of a single dollar at the gas pump, vs how much "free" money is grifted frm "taxes" and laws that claim subsidies?

---

The premise is that through opaque tax/financial support mechanisms, the buying power of the American dollar is artificially, but purposefully suppressed, in a way which compresses the lower/middle classes based on the top being immune to inflation through manipulation of markets and specifically commodities, utilities and essentials.

I would request help on delving into this from people more capable with taxes/maths than I am.

I think that 100% transparency in energy markets is the only hope we have to true discernment of whats going on in energy markets. Specifically from a bottoms-up approach to the problem.

What is the citizen EARNING, vs TAXED vs AFFORDABLE with REMAINDER of actual NET income.

I believe the number to be as low as 15%.

Anyone want to help prove this?

---

Some notes:

1 dollar is taxed on avg of ~35% in my experience, then I pay a sales tax of 9% on ever 65% of the dollars I take home, then there are mandated other services which are unregulated in price but regulated in the fact that I must pay them. Plus property taxes etc..

What I am looking to accomplish is that we truly know the value of the dollar WRT yur actual personal buying power, savings power and ability to plan.

If, for example we look at every transaction that is made by a dollar... how much in principle interest toward the actual thing we were buying was purchased, vs the actual amount on tax that was paid in order for that dollar to wind up paying for said desired thing?

That dollar you spend on thing went through a lot of tax layers before it ended up in wallet, but now as it exits wallet for thing desired, its subject to a new bevvy of taxes -- especially if it is something that is taxes at multiple stages upon purchase.

Just looking at simply taxing gas at the pump shows CRAZY tax loopholes to suppress the actual value of the dollar -- and not to mention inflation.
I wouldn't discourage anyone from home hosting really. It's getting to be pretty clear that it's cheaper, far better for privacy concerns, and gives you much more control. It seems that companies are beginning to ramp up the prices now - since once you've put your data with them, they can increase charges whenever they like. They know they have a large portion of the population using these data storage solutions, and they're likely going to start abusing that power.
If you know what a desktop is, I would suggest trying to self host - even if it's just dead simple raid10 on OpenVPN with syncthing. Heck, put one at another family members place and you probably have a more geographically diverse setup for your data than Amazon does.

Housing First is about housing first — not “housing is the conclusion”. Obviously you need other programs to help people, and for the ones who can’t or won’t be helped voluntarily, you need institutions and prison, respectively.

I don’t want people to go to prison, that should be what happens as a sort of last resort. People should have plenty of options before you get there, but yeah there’s always gonna be some number of dickheads that are better just kept away from the rest of society.

It depends on the type of gym. I started Jiu Jitsu and I found the culture to be really friendly (mostly - there are obviously some people who are not friendly). If you're just lifting at Planet Fitness you're obviously not going to meet new friends. Any place that fills a smaller niche and has it's own culture is somewhere you can meet people though - martial arts, Crossfit, etc. Just pick a niche with a culture that you vibe with and dive in.

If you have a permanent disability, there’s definitely government programs to support you indefinitely- I have several relatives on those programs (one for muscular dystrophy, one for autism) and they haven’t worked for a long time.

There’s more challenges around the short term disabilities, but pretty much every US state has a low-income / zero-income healthcare program that helps cover those individuals.

And as for overall homeless numbers, the US is pretty much middle of the pack per-capita with a lot of European countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_homeless_...

There have been massive pro-Russia protests in the eastern part of Ukraine after the 2014 Maidan revolution, which often have been brutally suppressed by Ukrainian authorities. It's a fact that most people in that area feels closer to Russia than Europe. You are disregarding their right to self determination just because they are favorable and, of course, backed militarily and financially, by Russian.

Seeing as the US has funded opposition movements for years, sent military aid and trained neo-Nazi militias which took on a promiment role during the Maidan revolution, I don't see how it can be a problem that Russia interevenes to support ethnic-Russians in the region. This kind of double standard is mind boggling.

Source & analysis needed.

Poking around Apple's 2021 marketshare wasn't anything particularly special, and https://www.statista.com/statistics/576473/united-states-qua... isn't showing any sort of "M1 driven spike", either. Apple's y/y growth was larger than PC's y/y growth (Annual growth for Mac was 28.3%, against 14.6% for the global PC market), but note there both are still growing. Meaning M1 didn't suddenly convert the industry.

Regardless a one year data point certainly doesn't prove a trend, certainly not of the "Apple is going to destroy Intel/AMD/Nvidia" variety.

Most do, of course, but there is a significant portion of drivers who have no idea of the rules or blatantly go against them. It's obvious to anyone paying attention.

It's even worse if you include things like being courteous to others or anticipating and mitigating potential risks on the road as part of "following the rules".
Another relevant statistic here is the general decline in membership in those kinds of clubs and associations. As Robert Putnam called out in “Bowling Alone,” men are more affected by these changing trends in some ways, since men are socialized to be “self-sufficient” (despite lots of evidence that there is not really a biological difference in need for connection nor in ability for empathy).

Depends on the type of test (book, practical, etc). If someone is complacent, then they likely were complacent when preparing for the test (didn't study, no drivers Ed course, etc). A reasonable test can weed out those complacent people who don't care to know or follow the law/instructions.
Without having a teardown available, and more importantly, without having actually manually manipulated it, I am ready to say the Studio is poor design. I could be completely wrong, but it appears from the images of the back that the design is simply this: a Mac Mini on the bottom with storage, I/O & PSU, below a processor layer with a massive heatsink, which is likely the only thing taking up any space behind the top grill. The problem with the design is that the M1 Ultra version weighs 8lbs., and most that weight is going to be in the bottom, making Studio unwieldy, and I expect placement of this little bottom-heavy box that weighs nearly as much as a gallon of water is going to be the source of a number of wrist injuries, and I think it is safe to say also, there will naturally be some blunt force injuries to a number of hands and fingers, some with ugly lacerations. Most of this could have been avoided with some new cutting edge technology colloquially known as putting a doggone handle on the top that was solidly loaded into the more massive layer on the bottom. I think the design ethic here is similar to strapping a 350 to a gocart. Putting a handle on something that weighs 8lbs. is so ordinary and necessary and obvious, and because Studio lacks it, I honestly do not care what's inside it. Even if manipulation is only going to occur once or a small handful of times, physically it is going to function like junk, and that just bugs me too much. I have too much junk as it is. I'd take 2 budget M1 Minis and an Intel Mini over a maxed out Studio every time. I'm absolutely serious, a handle would have changed everything.
That’s still an accident.

The law says if it was done with reckless indifference for safety of other, then you may be subject to increased penalties, but it still wasn’t intentional.
