Sorry, I guess I should have expounded a bit more - I think the example was chosen because of both cultural relevance [0] and because it is something that is a "core" element - I didn't necessarily mean to comment on whether it was an accurate representation of the state of things.

I would tend to agree that one "industry's" quality and policy related failings are not a sign of wider economic failure, although I think another commenter had it right with "covid hangover." There's a lingering supply/demand mismatch in seemingly all consumer markets that seems in large part due to problems that were started or brought to a head during covid.
>that's precisely why we need better consumer protection and advertising laws

There are plenty of laws. Most products come with more pages of safety warnings than are in the rest of the user's manual. And, in California, you're informed that pretty much every building you enter or product you use causes cancer.
My problem with find the lie, like the NPR game show "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me", is that the lies are often more interesting than the truth and can be the thing that sticks with you.

Unrelated to this topic but that explains why Germans are so eager to remove forest in order to build windmills. People in the city obviously don’t notice it anyway.

Most of it is completely disjointed from reality.

If they have a family and friends request to get things reviewed (as others have alluded too) but that person cant necessarily unban them himself. Is is inappropriate to use that process for a romantic partner?

How do we know that the conversation was "i will have sex with you if you unban my account" (which is pretty clear quid pro quo), and not her establishing a relationship then asking for a favor from a "friend"? It seems like a pretty dark rabbit hole if Meta of all places has to figure out if this person has a relationship with a person for pragmatic reasons or not. How many relationships do you have in your life that exist to facilitate X/Y/Z.

People trying to befriend people who are perceived to have some kind of power (be it economic, social, political, or in this case i guess technological?) is a very old tale.
I mean the group I go to meets at a disused commuter overflow parking lot under a noisy raised train station so they’re quieter than their surroundings and not really bothering anyone. Still it’s wild to call a group anti social when they are in fact a very social gathering.

Does due process apply in the US to just fines? My understanding is that due process only applies when the government intends to deprive you of life, liberty, or property. I don't think a fine paid in currency falls in those categories.

For example I've gotten parking tickets that had "automatic" hearings with no judge if you requested one. Unsurprisingly, they tended to find in favor of the government.
I also have OCD in the form of obsessive thoughts and had a very similar experience. Brain just computes extremely random, irrelevant scenarios throughout the day putting tons of serious effort, and it's impossible to stop.

Heyo! Another co-founder here. Excited to see Mito on HN :) Thanks @alefnula for posting!

+1 to everything @narush said.

It's important to us that the software we build is empowering to users and not restrictive. This plays out in two primary ways:
1) Since Mito is open source and generates Python code for every edit, Mito doesn't lock users into a 'Mito ecosystem', instead it help users interact with the powerful & robust Python ecosystem. 2) Because Mito is an extension to Jupyter Notebooks + JupyterLab, Mito improves your existing workflows instead of completely altering your data analytics stack.

Excited to interact with you all in the comments :)

> Adderall exacerbate anxiety if anything.

Not so. Brain fog creates tremendous anxiety because it continually sabotages pretty much everything. Fifteen years of Adderall has dramatically reduced anxiety for me and everyone around me.
The idea is absolutely not the same. She didn't want her Instagram back because she's addicted to insta as a user. She wanted it back because her social media presence is part of the business she runs.

The analogue here is the casting couch, sans the implication that it's sprung unexpectedly on her.
I posted this but I didn't write it. Kinda surprised at the comments. Is there some great dance music that this is missing? The article is specifically about EDM and how it evolved from disco. I think many of these on the list are absolutely spot-on. They defined the genre and still hold up today.

I also liked the fact that every video is posted and the reviewers tried to write comments about what's actually in the song. In other words, they seem to know their stuff.

What am I missing?

If anyone who works for Meta is in this thread, can you tell me why my Facebook page got unpublished for content rule violations, the strike got reversed after we challenged the blatently incorrect violation, but is still unpublished and invisible to anyone but the admins?

This behaviour on the part of Meta completely ruined what was quite a nice little community and I've not been able to get a satisfying explantion for this inconsistency. 'We realised the decision that got your page unpublished was wrong and reversed it, but we're still keeping your page unpublished' seems massively contradictory to me.

The admins of the page (myself included) have developed our own app pretty much out of spite to replace the Facebook page so it's not the end of the world, but I'd love to know what's going on behind the scenes that such a state is even possible for a page. It feels like there's something pretty fundamentally wrong with how Facebook handles page moderation.

I've long had an idea for solving the civil asset forfeiture problem.

It's simply this: any asset seized must go to the general fund, not into a law enforcement fund.

If a local police department seizes cash or a car, that asset goes to the state. If federal law enforcement does the same, it goes to the treasury, not the FBI or ATF or the Justice Department.

This small change would remove the incentive to seize assets for any reason other than stopping criminals.

We also need due-process reforms, but this would be a good start. Government departments should never profit from criminal activity.
So Tether is doing something akin to fractional reserve banking? From what I understand, this shouldn’t cause a problem unless there is a massive run (everyone trying to convert their USDT into dollars at the same time).

Since most of the USDT is owned by big exchanges who need it to provide liquidity and have no interest in crashing the crypto market, I don’t think this is likely to happen.

Not necessarily. I hear a lot more often of all the people with destroyed lives by opiates than about all the people whose lives are improved(which is if anything a larger group).
> there's not enough wealth in society to guarantee a modest income for everyone

One should notice that there a no Communist economies anymore in Europe for more than 30 years. Democratic wellfare states provide in my opinion the best balance between individual incentives and social responsibility.

I would argue that a lot of state-managed sectors in various European countries work a lot better than in the US (health care, higher education, correction, ...). One has to look into the details to see what works better in which sector.

Extent and details are, of course, something that needs to be permanently evaluated. But in general there is enough wealth produced each year to provide everyone with an at least modest standard of living. However, the differences between the countries are still very large: GDP per capita in the EU is aprox. EUR 32.000, ranging from Luxemburg's EUR 114,000 to Bulgaria's EUR 10,000.

Seizing objects violates the owners rights, not the objects rights.

Another angle of defense might be to ask if it's even possible to violate the 6th amendment. What would violating the 6th amendment look like? I suspect the answer will closely resemble civil forfeitures.

The problem here is that everyone in the crypto industry is taking George Soros's approach to bubbles: “When I see a bubble, I rush in to buy it.”

There is more money to be made on the gravy train of providing liquidity for trades, yield farming, etc. than in trying to short Tether and potentially bleeding out before it goes bust.
The amount is constant for each person, but one person might have a 2 hour performance window while a 100x engineer might have a 9 hour performance peak.

"Demand generation". If you're able to whip the masses into a frenzy, the sky is the limit.

Under the hood, our human propensity toward "storytelling" and social cohesion is both a blessing and our bane. People collectively go for convenient (but leaky) abstractions, leaders, influencers, fads.

AKA the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

The cesspool is not specifically American. As long as the music plays, economy's touted "fundamentals" pretty much come down to ape psychology. The music just plays louder is some places than others, at the moment.
Documentation and user interface face the same issues.

The biggest mistake engineers make is to expose the internal workings of the software in ways irrelevant to the user.

The biggest mistake marketing makes is to focus on upselling. I believe this is the reason why Google beat out Yahoo in the search space.
> And please, your citation should not just justify your socially conservative talking point, but also falsify the converse perspective, which is that laws against sex work marginalize those who perform it, opening them up to exploitation from criminals and persecution from law enforcement.

Laws against sex work do marginalize the people who perform it. It's a trade off. Liberals tend to place a strong emphasis on that harm to the minority, and devalue the harm to the majority from breaking down the taboo. Conservatives, meanwhile, tend to focus more on the benefit to the majority of the norms, and devalue the harm to sex workers.

> I'd also like to understand what you're saying about minimum wage laws.

> That's magical conservative thinking, the belief that an unregulated marketplace creates a positive sum game and not an exploitative economy. The belief that removing protection for labour creates better jobs for everyone, and not more exploitation of employees. The belief that removing regulations around commerce will get rid of fraud, not incentivize it.

I'm just applying the same arguments that you're applying about minimum wage laws to sex work. In both cases, the laws make it illegal to do certain kinds of work--it limits individual freedom because some people may be willing to do that work--in order to prevent a race to the bottom and exploitation of the population as a whole.

What you're describing as "magical conservative thinking" is, more accurately, "magical libertarian thinking." And liberals are quite often inclined to engage in such magical libertarian thinking--the idea that maximizing individual freedom maximizes social welfare--just in different contexts.

if scarcity is not needed or desirable for MtG players why would they not just release all cards individually for the same price? why should any card be harder than another to acquire?

if MtG uses this model for deck building it sounds like pay-to-win.

a blockchain game can just be pay-to-own and play-to-own like most games on the App Store, except the assets assigned to the user is not attached to a single App Store account and do not involve a 30% take fee. imagine these game assets could still be held even if you switch from Apple to Google phone, because the assets are detached from your phone company’s accounts.

I believe you're expanding on my footnote, and I agree.

In addition to felons (permanently disenfranchised in most states), you have temporarily-disenfranchised prisoners, and prison-based population distortions that favor some districts over others.

You could probably make an even greater comparison between the voting powers of:

- a Californian living in a district with high noncitizen population
- a Wyomingian living in a district with a large penitentiary

WY and CA already start at a 4:1 disparity.
No, precisely not. A stop-light as a traffic-calming measure is like "calming" traffic via an invisible wall-of-death that is sometimes present and sometimes not. It requires more higher-level thinking of the driver, not less.

The purpose of a traffic calming measure is to force slower driving via involuntary driver behavior or physics. Things like painting obstacle-like objects in the road to startle unattentive drivers, rumble strips, unnecessary curvature onto soft embankments so failure to make the turn doesn't risk injury, unnecessary narrowing of the road via cones or soft baffles (because people will subconsciously drive slower when they feel like their vehicle is inches from a barrier).

A common mis-design of highways is to assume traffic lights are sufficient for that purpose, and the result is creation of a high-crash location.
> Research like you’re referencing is great for “this is interesting” and not “this is why the world works this way”.

> Ummm, Gitmo?

Umm, Gitmo was messed up. But, to be clear, the United States does not guarantee constitutional rights to non-citizens who have not touched US soil, so this is a bit of a canard.

> J6 detainees?

Despite rumors of hundreds of January 6th detainees languishing in jails-- the actual number is approximately 35. Most of these have waived speedy trial. Most of these have not been detained for a very long time.

A few are still undergoing legal discovery. It's a problematic set of circumstances: further, closely related arrests happen; without providing additional information on the new arrests to existing arrestees' counsel, convictions could later be set aside. In turn, this restarts some clocks. On the other hand, judges are getting frustrated and warning the prosecution that these delays are becoming excessive.
> Not to mention her account will just get banned again, given she admitted to it on video.

Banning her at this point would look pretty vindictive: "You revealed corruption in our organization, so we're banning you." Would make for some pretty bad headlines. They might still do it, but it's not a good PR move.

> I’m also blown away at how short-sighted this woman is about the man’s employment, after he did her frankly a big favor in return for sex.

Aka "speed". Of course it works, it is a hard drug! You can also try MDMA, meth, cocaine, etc... they all work, until they kill you.

Ok, I am exaggerating, these drugs are not that bad, even if you include their "fun" applications, as long as you follow the harm reduction principles. And these anti-ADHD tablets are not dubious street drugs, they are well dosed, pure and slowly released.

But still, I would avoid these in the long run, caffeine is where I draw the line for regular use (and I'd rather not depend on it). Also keep in mind that ADHD treatment is meant for people with ADHD, basically giving them the stimulation their brain can't provide on its own, this way they can calm down instead of being in constant search for excitement. If you don't have ADHD you don't need any of that and it will just make you a bit high, an almost opposite effect.

> Finally, we arrive at the most specific stratum in our gradient of specificity, executable source code. Of course what makes code the most specific is not only the fact that it has to be formally strict and internally consistent in a way that no other layer must

And this is why all the other layers are useless. Modifying another layer doesn't produce useful output. Only modifying the code does.

> the rationale for why the code behaves one way and not another is often lost, or at least misplaced. And herein lies the problem: Code has far too much detail, and is much too preoccupied with its own affairs, to be the authoritative place where business decisions are made.

I've never heard anyone argue that business decisions are made in code. Business decisions are made in email or over zoom or on confluence. This is obviously bad and only occurs because the powerful people can't code. They can't make a contribution to the output that isn't just a vague exclamation that must be parsed and reconciled with the existing artifact.

The artifact is the only thing that matters. Prose on confluence isn't documentation.

That doesn't say anything about what percentage of sex workers were sex trafficked. The only stat it gives are what percentage of sex workers were sexually abused prior to entry.
