On a related noted, a friend Dr. Brett Derbes in History is currently compiling his graduate work into a book about prison labor, methods, and output in the Antebellum South and during the Civil War. Some of the things he shared with me in the process have been hard to stomach.

Would it be legally possible in the US circa 2022 and beyond to run a "silent prison" where no talking was allowed among inmates sun up to sun down & when working? That was actually part of a movement in prison management.

I just shake my head and hope for more efforts to rehabilitation and social acceptance such as the FL citizen result indicating a majority would like to restore voting rights to Felons in this modern world. Times can change!

> size of wheels you can upload is constrained by PyPi

I feel PyPi is pretty generous with their limits. You can even request more once you hit the ceiling, i think it’s around 60MB [1]. There are some wheels that are crazy large, tensorflow-gpu [2] are around 500MB each. I think there’s discussions out there to try and find ways of alleviating this problem on PyPi.

> difficult to support multiple versions across multiple operating systems, unless you provide a source distribution, which is then…

This can be a problem but I’ve found that recently the problem has improved quite a lot. You can create manylinux wheels for both x86, x64, and arm64 which cover pretty a lot of the Linux distributions using glibc. A musllinux tag was recently added to cover musl based distributions like Alpine. MacOS wheels support both x64, arm64, and can even be a universal2 wheel. Windows is still purely x86 or x64 for now but I’ve seen some people work on arm64 support support in CPython and once that’s in I’m sure PyPi won’t be too far around. There are also some great tools like cibuildwheel [3] that make building and testing these wheels pretty simple.

> Still a nightmare on Windows

I’m actually curious what is a nightmare about Windows. I found that Windows is probably the easiest of all the platforms to build and upload wheels for. You aren’t limited to a tiny subset of system libs, like you are on Linux, and building them is mostly the same process. Probably the hardest thing is ensuring you have tue correct vs build kit installed but that’s not insurmountable.

Why should priors enter the picture at all?
If this was a government censoring, banning journalists, stories and the media or even blocking the whole internet and punishing companies that criticize them or to stop the letter being published, that totally violates free speech.

Generally, It doesn’t apply to ‘privately owned companies’ Just like how these employees are free to criticize their employer it does not mean there are freedom of consequences and employers are just as free to fire their employees.

That is why they stay anonymous and criticize their employer just like what happened with Coinbase.
I’m not sure if this specific market is really that free, more likely they’d continue charging as much as they can get away with. Also relatively few prisons are private.
There's two things that can have symmetry here: The laws of physics themselves, and the system under investigation. The symmetries of the laws of physics don't get broken, but those of the system do. Compare a crystal to a gas: In a gas, the atoms are all bouncing around pretty randomly, so at any given point in space, there's roughly the same chance of finding an atom. Shift the gas to the left by distance x, and the local probability distribution of atom positions looks pretty much the same. In a crystal on the other hand, the atoms are still moving around and vibrating (so there's still some uncertainty in the positions of the atoms), but they tend to stay pretty close to their proper position in the crystal lattice. So the atoms are more likely to be in positions that line up with the rest of the crystal lattice than anywhere else. This breaks the symmetry. Shift by distance x and the peaks of that probability distribution no longer line up. The exception to this is if x is a multiple of the spacing of atoms in the crystal. Then you're shifting the peaks by exactly the right amount that they line up again when you're done. So a crystal doesn't completely break the symmetry of space, but it reduces it from a continuous symmetry (you can translate by any amount in any direction) to a much weaker discrete symmetry (only certain translations of space will preserve the symmetry).

A time crystal is similar to an ordinary crystal except that instead of reducing symmetry of translations in space from a continuous symmetry to a discrete symmetry, it reduces symmetry of translations in time from a continuous symmetry to a discrete symmetry.

EDIT: It's a little ironic that if you ask most people, they would say that a crystal is more symmetric that a gas, since a gas will look completely random and asymmetric if you take a snapshot of the positions of all the atoms at a single time. But since physicists care about the probability distribution of atom positions, they say that the gas is more symmetric than the crystal.
That's what I'm reading when I hear that forced labor by prisoners is slavery.

If that is slavery, then what is locking them in a box and not letting them leave? Would that be kidnapping? Abduction?

Why is locking someone in a box an acceptable punishment, but making them do work while locked in the box unacceptable?

> both outcomes are unacceptable

What is the alternative? You can't pay someone more than they earn in revenue and minimum wage laws create an artificial price floor that causes everyone who would otherwise earn between above zero and the minimum to instead make zero.

The idea of a "living wage" is an worthless notion that assumes that the distribution of income by age and experience is not the one from the real world. In the real world, the more experience you have, the more money you make. The majority of low earners are simply young or at an early point in their careers. To rob them of entry level jobs by setting artificial price floors is what's unethical. Let them get low wage jobs while they still live at home or have roommates or don't live downtown SF instead of dictating that the world should be one of magical bounty and abundance where everyone can somehow work for "high" wages without price inflation for everything else making them effectively poor.

Being unhappy with capitalism is being in denial about the world having scarce resources.

Crypto has the delightful additional risk of access that other securities don’t really have.

If you don’t offload to a private wallet and Coinbase goes completely defunct, there is no protection. Coinbase’s continued existence (and thus, your coins) and the market cycle of cryptocurrencies are mutually exclusive events.
The immoral part is when you lock someone up as a punishment. If we did this to ensure safety for everyone else, we'd only lock up people who are actually likely to commit another crime, and then only for as long as that remains true. Notions like "if you do X, the minimum sentence is Y", which are kinda fundamental to how we run our justice system, are not compatible with that.

There are (outside of small local cooperative enterprises) approximately zero left-wing companies in the US.

The things painted as “left-wing” companies by the far right are center-right neoliberal corporate capitalist enterprises that do some mix of opposing far-right culture war efforts as a drag on corporate capitalist exploitation and making PR gestures to the left side of culture war fights while remaining locked in the economic center-right.

Yeah, in the GOP’s current view of the world, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is considered radical leftists, but, that's not reflective of reality.

Overall, Its just a giant archive, its hard to store that much data in a cheap manner that will last 20 years.

Yes, anybody who is good at their job is likely to be able to get a better (paying) one. But that itself doesn't incentivize DAs to aggressively pursue cases.

The incentives they actually follow (and there are plenty of them!) are much simpler: municipal politics (not wanting to be seen as "weak on crime") and power dynamics (wanting to come down with the "full force of the law" at every opportunity, as a disincentive to future criminals.) Plus, plenty are just plain cruel.

Or were wrongly convicted. Or were convicted of an unjust law. Or any number of other things.

"Broke a law" doesn't justify making someone a slave. Even the "undesirables" are human.
I'm not telling someone they believe those things. I'm saying that I don't see how you can believe one without believing the other, since they both require the same leap of logic.

And I don't think people believe that locking prisoners up is actually kidnapping and abduction - I am actually more of the mind that people don't really think it is slavery, but are just saying that as a rhetorical point.

Just like many conservatives don't really think abortion is murder, which is why they don't want to punish aborters the same way they want murderers to be punished.

I worked shitty jobs into my 30s before I landed on my career. Suck it up.

Also you're missing the point. I didn't say anything about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. You DON'T have to work hard. I said just show up. Every day. On time. That's literally the one thing I've seen in life that differentiates people who are successful in life from those who aren't.

And I know bank security guards who show up every day and live fulfilled happy successful lives. What I was saying was that commonly you'll find in unskilled labor jobs are people who don't show up every day. Not all of them but a large number. They won't do the minimum to succeed in life. They need the coddling.
> I'm not sure what to make of that. The point of the ban was to keep lead out of the environment and people's blood levels which we did successfully. Lead isn't some sentient being looking to find it's way into our systems regardless of the actions of man.

Yes—the "actions of man" might have been to create a different, also-useful-for-that-purpose lead compound, if they thought they could get away with it without someone putting a stop to it more or less immediately, just for the fact that it had lead in it. The trouble with many of these compounds is we can't point to a single easy-to-prove thing they have in common, like the presence of lead, as the cause of the harm—so you're left either testing for harm before the novel compound is included in products, or endless piecemeal bans with harm occurring at every step until, if we're fortunate, industries luck into compounds that are both the most economical and least-harmful of the remaining non-banned options.

I use GNOME and honestly like it despite the many flaws. May be some sort of Stockholm syndrome, IDK. As I see I spent most of my time on the CLI or on the browser so the DE in itself doesn't matter that much and GNOME advantage is that I don't have to waste time troubleshooting and customizing it (not even possible sometimes) so I can focus on the things that matter. If you compare DEs pages on Arch Wiki, GNOME by far has the smaller 'Troubleshooting' section. Also when you use something for a long time you know how to workaround it's limitations and fix things while.
Since US prisons are private-held then the incentive is already present. I'd say that the incentive would be bigger if you would just 'normally' work and get paid when you commit a crime.
