This is one reason why political crimes are treated with different considerations under international treaties and in the day to day norms of states. The right to asylum, for example, in one country to avoid prosecution in another country exists, and it is regularly exercised.

America regularly support people who are charged with normal crimes that have obvious political undertones, as they should. This is an unmitigated good.

Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chen_Guangcheng

Other popular examples exist. These cases are also often very polarizing for the people of the country who is claimed to have been the victim of some political crime.

Note the definition of political crime (
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/political%20crime ) exactly makes the link: “political offenses … exclude any possibility of extradition.”

What makes up a political crime? By definition it can be subjective but some entire categories are usually included.

On the one hand, Assange is considered by many to be a journalist doing journalistic things, while others argue he committed espionage doing political things as some kind of spy. Prosecution for either is usually considered a political persecution worthy of asylum.

Ecuador granted Assange political asylum because of the U.S. investigation into Assange for his publications that were in the public interest.

I have a regular Ford Focus from 2004. Not obssessed with it by any stretch but I am curious as to what's the final mileage this machine can do over the years. It's now on 260k kms, which I think it's not much. Other than that, I guess I will part ways with it when combustion engines get forbidden in the Madrid city area where I live.
I am under the impression that instead of preparing for climate immigration, EU citizens are actually slowly but surely mutually brainwashing themselves into increasing hate towards immigrants as a whole. From what I read and understood about climate change, a tsunami of immigrants from southern hemisphere countries towards northern hemisphere countries is to be expected.

I would rather have my elected ones work on a framework that will govern how this immigration could occur and how to make it work in everyone's bests interests. But it seems that people will mostly vote for whoever tells them he or she will make the country impenetrable.

Europe's population is aging drastically, we make less children and our workforce is shrinking. We produce less people that can offer social/medical/health care to the elders, less people who can pay taxes, and also less people who can defend the territory in case of armed conflict. Retirement planning is a catastrophy (younger generations are privileging individualized financial planning mechanisms instead of State protected and tax deducible solutions, and conversion rates for pension funds are also diminishing year after year). Finally, "non-white" immigrants seem to be perceived by locals as posing a security threat and nothing more.

Whether I look at my family, my friends or my colleagues, I feel surrounded by people who refuse to engage in the thought experiment further than "we should reinforce our borders".

Am I in denial when I acknowledge that both a mass immigration will occur towards the northern hemisphere, whether smoothly, or by force, and that any economy needs to preserve a strong workforce to keep florishing?

What am I missing here?
It looks similar to the Methuselah Mouse Prize that used to be offered by the Methuselah Foundation. I don't know if those low prize amounts have really an effect on research interest.

They should rather set a prize over a million usd to generate additional interest from the research community, otherwise it's just beer money for researchers that are already deeply invested in the topic.

Single axle dump trucks are also known as straight trucks and are designed to be used with a single trailer, which is why they do not have any axles on the back. These types of trucks usually carry heavy loads and have a high payload capacity compared to other types of semi-trucks.

> do you believe the average actor in science/academia is a good actor?

I think you've over-simplified your model. I'll build on your analogy.

There are many roles. As you've argued, the current system is fundamentally broken, which means most if not all of the roles are bad roles.

What happens if a good actor is stuck in a bad role?

My simplistic view of modern scientific publication is it started to reduce knowledge hoarding by coupling prestige to publication. ("I'm sorry Mr. Newton, but as Herr Leibniz published first, he gets the credit with creating the calculus of infinitesimals.")

The loop is now tightly coupled, leaving us with "publish or perish", and with coarse and unreliable publication metrics used to determine career advancement.

As a result, many people deliberately game the system, with methods like "least publishable unit" and "salami slicing". How is the author order determined? Who gets to be on the author list?

Are those the method of good actors? Or bad actors?

To be clear, my goal is not simply to point out that there is a grey area, but rather that there are competing goals. Your use of "good actor" and "bad actor" oversimplifies the issue by projecting it onto the single axis of "good science."

I recently reviewed a paper. It was 20 or so pages long. Nothing about it was all that new - it was about the level of a senior undergrad project. Most of it was a tutorial/walk-through about how to use the software. Had it been the late 1990s, it would have been cutting edge.

My review was something like "this should be a 1-2 page software announcement. Nothing seems wrong, but it isn't worth the time for anyone to read all these details in a journal paper, and it isn't worth my time to review it."

Is the full 20-page paper good science? Bad science? Is it the result of a bad actor? Or an uninformed actor? Should my review be acted upon or ignored? If published, would my post-publication review make a difference?
Because it was invented for enterprise/consulting shops, not for product/tech companies.

For any real dev daily standups sounds as an idiotic practice.

If you're team is so disorganized that they can't collaborate effectively using bazillion of existing tools, and without hand holding/baby sitting of the "Scrum Master", then it's better to fire everyone, and build a new one.
> affects mortality?

Why would you only care about mortality?

I had some unfortunate experience with heavy metal poisoning (university clinic diagnosed - mercury, shown by lab tests). There was zero danger of dying and I doubt it took away any of my life expectancy. But it SUCKS and especially the brain works at a substantially lower level. I did not understand even simple sentences even after reading them several times at the height of the problem. I wrote Internet comments that made no sense when I read them again the next day, but at the time it felt perfectly alright and logical (sentence structure was weird too).

(Just an aside) And you know what? I had to end up with a senior researcher doctor at a university clinic before getting diagnosed. Because most doctors were a little like your question: They looked at the vitals and found no obvious disease and sent me home "it's all in your head". Which is funny because it's largely true - mercury being a neurotoxin, but for some reason the brain being the product of physics and bio-chemistry not registering with the oh so "science and evidence" based doctors, who seem to have a strangely meta-physical and esoteric view of it.

Anyway, back on topic:

I find this obsession with the binary outcome "death / no death" strange. Before death, your extremely parallel structure (not just your own trillions cells, each cell itself has lots of independently working parts, and then there are even more bacteria and other organisms occupying your insides and the outside who all contribute and are often affected too) does a poorer job of bringing the "you" into being. See your body like a computer running the software that is "you". The quality of the simulation drops if the hardware is impacted (you are the activity of your parts - a brain without activity is not "you", you are not there if the hardware does not run the "you" software). But the life expectancy may not be impacted at all.

Surely, if you provide far from optimal fuel you can expect the quality to suffer too, not just when you are poisoned or otherwise restricted.

So, it is a question of what version of "you" do you want to be? Is mere existence enough?

Old plastic laptops were bendy, creaky and had very high tolerances, but people didn't quite like the downsides of that.

So Apple makes a metal machine with very low tolerances that feels super solid.
From the economics perspective, GDP = sum of all production = sum of all income = sum of all costs.

This has been my experience too.

> People usually reply there whenever they start working ... Honestly, the blockers bit was the only useful thing for most of us there

What kind of blockers were did you find appearing at the start of work for there to be usefulness derived?

I have only ever experienced blocking situations once I am well into the work. And, as tempting as it may be to take the rest of the day off so you have something to tell at the start of the next day, that's not exactly a realistic business practice. Any blockers that do occur are dealt with at the time, leaving nothing unaddressed by the time the next day rolls around.

Certainly blockers need to be communicated, but timing them with the start of work seems completely untenable. If they could be foreseen they wouldn't be blockers.

Interesting. May be a correlation rather than causation thing. For example if your dopamine levels are elevated for some unrelated reason then you may be experiencing more motivation hence the work on your FOSS projects and you may also experience increased sex drive at the same time.

> Why would anybody care what you have to deal with in a Fed Soc meeting? I care about elected officials because they can actually do things.... How much control over your own thoughts and beliefs are you going to give random collections of people in positions of self-proclaimed authority?

These folks have tremendous power on elected officials. When I say, "Democrats think that standardized tests are racist," I'm not complaining about some Sunrise tweet. It actually happened at my high school: https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/02/25/judge-th...

> Likewise: despite the fact that no President the Democrats elect would support your schools forcing your kids to "build their AAPI identity"

Unelected bureaucrats, teachers unions, etc., have tremendous power over what kids learn. The left is exceptionally adept at using control over institutions to effect political change bypassing elected officials. The President can help such efforts or hinder them through control of the Dept. of Ed., e.g. Title VI and Title IX. Biden rescinded Trump's CRT ban, and Kamala Harris would co-sign whatever Randi Weingarten wanted. A President DeSantis, by contrast, may well use Title VI to stamp out the practice. Again, not a theoretical concern: this is actually happening in my kid's school.
I’d pay stupid amounts of money for a combination of an 1950s design with modern EV tech&safety. The fins, the two-color paint job, etc.
My bet would be 'reading'. Reading is essentially a type of synesthesia that we force onto children which turns external symbols into sound (at least initially). My interpretation of Jaynes is that he posits a direct 'voice' from the fast pattern matching systems of the brain (this, in turn possibly a maladaptation to the emergence of language earlier in our rescent evolution). Perhaps reading disrupts this pathway or teaches us to regulate it much more tightly? A prediction of this might be that voice hearing could be far more prevelant in illiterate people that we suspect.
Theres an issue with this "one review fits all" approach.
Scientific communities are often splintered into sub-communities with different views and allegiances.

The scientific community is not a set, it's a graph with different connectedness and weights.

A imho better system would:

* use public key crypto to give everybody a pseudonym under which they can create, sign and publish articles

* a publication graph that is used both as a reference system and a review system;

- a reference is a link from one article to another if it reuses and builds upon it (standing on the shoulder of giants)

- a review is a link from one article to another that passes judgement on or reproduces that article (peer review)

* a sentiment analysis based system that turns the review links into peer-review quality metrics

* a way to delegate judgement from yourself to others that you trust in your community

* a page-rank like algorithm that computes trust relative to your private key and the trust it has assigned/delegated

* and most importantly: a UI that shows you a papers ranking and relevance based on YOUR personal trust graph and community
Also it's likely that an organization called "Navy" usually operates on top of oceans.

When you build into the store, you have to rebuild from scratch. However Nix does allow incremental builds inside your source directory as well. If you spawn a development shell like:

nix develop .

All the build phases are available as shell functions or variables (unpackPhase, patchPhase, configurePhase, buildPhase, ...). The phases depend on each other, so if you want to skip a phase some additional tweaking or setting of environment variables will be necessary. The "genericBuild" function is the top level entry point for a normal build, the source can be viewed via:

declare -f genericBuild

and should give a bit of an idea what Nix is doing.

Citroën is slowly dying. It's always been a quirky brand, but PSA has chosen to make Peugeot the main brand (let's ignore the PRC for now), and Citroën has been demoted to almost pure quirk. I don't expect it to survive now that Stellantis is a thing, maybe as a regional Chinese brand the way Opels as sold as Vauxhalls in the UK.
This guy is super cringe. So are rich people that are so afraid of dying and becoming irrelevant that they invest billions in trying to achieve immortality.

It's a good thing for society and humanity that people die. It ensures change, innovation and the flow of new ideas.

Don't get me wrong: I think we should invest money and resources that help people live healthy lifes. But the idea of stopping aging or wanting to live to hundreds of years just seems that it comes from people who have deep psychological problems with themselves.
There's an element here you may have overlooked that's important to understand. The purpose of a sandbox is to control things. The purpose of dynamic shared objects is to delegate control to other developers so you can leverage their labor at minimal cost. That means giving up control. These two concepts can't be reconciled. You can't properly sandbox dynamic shared objects existing outside your dominion because they're not yours to control.

I solve this problem for myself by using static binaries. I don't need dynamic shared objects. I ship support for it in my project releases, since I know other people do. That weakens the safety my tools can offer dso users, but it doesn't concern me, since I'm offering them incremental value; a weakened sandbox is better than no sandbox at all.

Cosmopolitan Libc is what I have for anyone wanting the stronger model. You can't use it to leverage an ecosystem of third party packages. What it can offer you is a statically linked hermetic environment with less complexity that's more conducive to control, provided you're ok with some assembly being required. Worth considering for your next greenfield project.

I feel some negativity from this question, but I will disregard those feelings as unfounded and try to answer in the best faith possible.

No, I have not considered trying it out, for a simple reason - I don't control any organization nor work in a management position, so I don't really have a chance to do so.

I'd like to believe that I would try out all those things that come to my mind, if I were to have a chance to do so.

Upvote for the Felix Dennis book "How To Get Rich". Definitely not what you'd think from the title. The Audible narration is an excellent performance and gets the British humor & tone of the book. Won't make you rich and I don't think it's very practical, but it is excellent and highly entertaining. Felix Dennis was a magazine publisher of many of the early computing magazines, many of which are now owned by Future Publishing.
