> how many were petit larceny cases that resulted in jail time? How much jail time?

I don't think I've seen anyone get a jail sentence for a shoplifting petit larceny in New York. However, people commonly serve jail time before sentencing in these cases. There are two major causes: arrests and bail.

The DA statement in the article you cite says that people should be issued a summons for shoplifting rather than be arrested. It is true that this should happen, but a lot of police don't seem to agree with it and they have the power to arrest. I have seen more petit larcenies in DATs than under arrest at arraignment, but it's actually a pretty close call. People who are arrested can spend a few days in jail until they are arraigned.

At arraignment, the person will be released unless bail is set. Bail cannot be set in most misdemeanors in NY after bail reform. However regarding shoplifting, the legislature has passed the "harm over harm" carve out (referenced earlier) to allow a prosecutor to ask for bail if someone is, among other things, repeatedly accused of shoplifting. Having bail set in a misdemeanor like this is a big deal because a lot of people will serve more jail time waiting for a plea offer than would have been the sentence.

Regarding discretion to dismiss, this is a nuanced issue. Line prosecutors, unlike police, have astonishingly little autonomy. More specifically there is usually freedom to be more punitive but not less punitive. There are instances where discretion is pre-delegated and the prosecutor in arraignments can dismiss a case if they see a reason this would be a good idea, but this is extremely rare. What I was saying above is that petit larceny is not such a crime. Of course there are other ways to dismiss cases later in the process, but those require more work and are available to fewer people.

Anyway my original point, which I will stick to, was that shoplifting is not deprioritized or unprosecuted by the NYC DAs. They treat it as seriously as anything, and to my mind more seriously than they should.
So far I haven't seen a single major company doing phone based (insecure) 2fa not use the number for marketing, data abuse, etc.

Non-standards based "authenticator" dedicated apps phone home and spy on you. Intentionally trying to break or block actual TOTP.
He should. It's absurd to me Apple still gets away with selling $1000 locked down phones that run glorified web apps, which could readily run on 5 year old hardware.

And I'm not saying this is the only problem, far from it.

We do still have to deal with consumer plastic waste, but we can't just blame manufacturers for that, as the main problem is that it isn't collected properly.

Sure, manufacturers should make less (but we should demand less), make it more easily collected, and be held responsible for the fate of their products; maybe taxed based on re-useability, etc.

But it's quite simplistic and just misses the real issues to blame coke for dead whales.
To be fair Macbooks will still scratch their screen if they weren't using glass, Thinkpads don't if they have the glass varient as well. There isn't a true Matte option for Apple and it shows why, even if there ever release the nano frosted version it loses to basic Matte panels for range and glare or lack of.
It's funny you say that, because Go and Python are two of my least favorite languages, partially for reasons of formatting.

OP here. This is phrased beautifully and at least partially reflects my own views. I especially like how you said "It doesn't feel like I "made" the things I did, but that I "found" them".

This is a big part in why I enjoy vastly different kinds of music creation. When I work with a traditional DAW and build a track from scratch, I'm sculpting and crafting an artwork. When I work with modular synthesizers and generative compositional tools (AI or not) I feel like I'm navigating sonic landscapes to find interesting destinations.

AI art is the latter, and while it's fun, it's a different feeling during creation all together. In music, I can typically hear which the artist was doing in a given song. With Stable Diffusion and DallE, I don't know that I can as reliably. This is why the divide is so interesting to me. We have to radically different avenues, each with their own merits in how fulfilling they can be, to choose from which produce similar results.

I will admit, there is something to the reward of making something hand crafted that at least to the artist, adds value, even if that value isn't (typically) transferable to the end user.
I've never been sold on Gore-Tex. It's not a great value for most people.

Shoes: good for a few outings (really nice on snow) but then lose their water repellency. If you have sweaty feet, your socks will get wet from sweat anyways. Just bring extra socks or wring them out periodically. Wool socks will feel warm even when wet.

Jackets: great in a downpour but if you're wearing pants, all the water just rolls off your jacket and soaks your pants. Use a weather forecast and just don't go or choose another location if it's going to be pouring out and instead settle for a much lighter water repellent layer for 100s of $$$'s cheaper that works in a light rain or snow. I use the OR Helium. Packs real small.

Otherwise, if your job requires you to stand in the rain all day, definitely invest the $$$.

I don’t think any place in the world comes close to the USA in terms of its prison(labor) camps. It has the highest per capita rate of incarceration on the planet. So I don’t think his comparison is warranted.

But I’m actually in Japan right now, and while I definitely did fetishize Japan to some extent this trip has not been pleasant.

Last night I went out for a call in front of my Airbnb so I wouldn’t wake up my baby that sleeping.

I spent 10 minutes with police because apparently I was suspicious. He asked me about my reason for being here my visa and all the other shit the much nicer border guards asked me. And because they were backwards retards he wrote it on a piece of paper instead of checking it on a computer. Giving him a Taiwan if that included my passport number was not enough I just had to go inside and wake the kid. BTW had I not been in front of my Airbnb, I wouldn't have been able to fetch my Passport and I would probably have been taken to the ward. Just for being a "suspicious person in the neighbourhood". That's like being a black person in the US except that you don't get beat up or shot.

The proof of rental wasn’t enough either and when I went inside he followed me without even asking which would be illegal in most civilized places. Yes he was polite and he didn’t yell at me but he was still a retarded racist PoS.

Mind you that police in Japan can and will put foreigners in prison in solitary for 14 days without charge for shoplifting just in case.

That said it’s a beautiful place that is very well designed(eg. high buildings next to busy roads protecting the residential areas behind from noise) compared to other places with similar demographics are complete structural unlivable monsters(Tehran for example).

But it’s not a place I would want to spend more than a two week honeymoon phase at.

beautiful sort command:

du -sk ./* | sort -nr | awk 'BEGIN{ pref[1]="K"; pref[2]="M"; pref[3]="G";} { total = total + $1; x = $1; y = 1; while( x > 1024 ) { x = (x + 1023)/1024; y++; } printf("%g%s\t%s\n",int(x10)/10,pref[y],$2); } END { y = 1; while( total > 1024 ) { total = (total + 1023)/1024; y++; } printf("Total: %g%s\n",int(total10)/10,pref[y]); }'
This does appear to be the angle. Which is nice from a "developer building a prototype" perspective, but if you're actually delivering to clients, something like Webflow means that the client can make changes themselves and not worry about patching future security vulnerabilities.

> Again, why are you fine with supply & demand raising prices in one situation but furiously outraged when the same thing happens in the other?

Because both are at the cost of workers and for the benefit of capital.

Owners win both ways, workers lose both ways.

Edit: Also, the collusion is by the few against the many in both cases.

Also also, the prices are artificial -- collusion is keeping rents artificially high and wages artificially low.

Koyaanisqatsi is my favorite movie by a mile, so obviously I love this. Koy is interesting because it's not simply a movie painting a certain picture (which an experiment like this can't do), but because it's a format too (which this experiment focuses on).

The third in the trilogy of Qatsi movies, Naqoyqatsi, while the least well known is probably the closest fit for this experiment since it's almost entirely stock footage laid over the (orchestral – in contrast to Koy) soundtrack. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgM46I-ZryM

She is advocating for reducing the size of a population that she sees as "damaged" because she believes that they place a burden upon society, and she is advocating this in opposition to that group, who would like to continue to exist as they are. I see these as sufficient conditions to call her position "eugenics advocacy". But if removal from the gene pool is a necessary condition in your view, then there are multiple studies linking access to various kind of gender-affirming care with lower rates of suicidal ideation. It's easily Googleable,

She does not specify any sort of medical procedure, and refers to people "dissociated from their sex", so she's probably talking about all trans people, including people who merely change their name, pronouns, and mode of dress.

That she specifically includes those who are happily transitioned shows that this is not motivated by compassion. By including them, she is making it absolutely clear that she wants to prevent people against their will from being able to transition. Most people who transition describe it as enormously benificial. She wants to reduce their number because she describes them as a "problem".
Pedandtly, this is not true. You might think something you’re doing is legal, but when someone takes you to court, it’s because they’re arguing that what you’re doing is already illegal. And if the court sided with them, then what you were doing was illegal the whole time. Courts don’t make laws, they interpret existing laws. Everyone can interpret laws in their own favor, but it doesn’t make things ‘legal’ in the definitive sense
YEah, I think people also need to give up on saying "well precedence says" with the current SCOTUS roster. They don't actually care about precedent when it doesn't jive with their agenda. It's hard to believe that the mightest lawyers in the land think precedent is unimportant but we've already seen it a few times and this SCOTUS is just getting started.
I had the same experience, except in the Sierra Nevada which doesn’t have conditions as extreme as yours. I had one of the original Gore-TEX ski jacket shells from The North Face, but got rid of it after a few months because it was too warm. It was insanely expensive when it came out.

Although not being explicitly illegal does make something legal, the phrasing "has been decided to be legal" suggests a debate, a conscious decision, and perhaps an overturned law. That is not the case as far as I know. It is legal (because that is the default), but no decision has been made.

The main problem with Sonic Forces was that the levels were way too short and linear compared to other Sonic games (and other platformers in general, the game really was a disappointment, which partly explains the extremely positive reception Frontiers is getting).

A 4 hour completion time for a platformer if you're good at it would be totally fine, the problem is that Sonic Forces set the bar so low that everyone can do that first try without any practice.

Sonic games usually have alternate paths and tricky sections you need to practice to do quickly, so you might beat the game in 3 hours while finding all the collectibles, but only after practicing the run for much longer than that.

Exactly. They are just arbitrarily drawing the line of which language is sensible based upon what was hot when they made their choice.
I can’t speak for the author, but I’ve had a similar feeling. Where (safe) Rust’s core principle is memory safety at all costs, I feel that Swift takes a more nuanced approach, prioritizing making good programming patterns easier while still being memory safe (though perhaps not as expressive as Rust).

Swift also is much more principled when it come to certain things like exceptions. Whereas Rust (if I remember correctly) allows arbitrary panic-ing and catching of panics, Swift forces you to acknowledge a possible panic at function call sites using “try”. Without “try” control flow can’t suddenly end.

Admittedly, I haven’t used Rust significantly in a couple years, but I wrote this a few years back and some of the points still have merit: https://gist.github.com/GeorgeLyon/c7b07923f7a800674bc9745ae...
I’m convinced AI art is going to be a boon for artists. People always assume that the demand for something will remain static as its production grows and the producers become more productive. But as the cost of something falls, people consume more of it. That’s a law in economics. This is no different.

What’s likely to happen is people are going to invent whole new media that will use this. Incredibly elaborate interactive and personalized experiences will be made possible by this. One person will be able to deliver a huge amount of value, and they will be rewarded accordingly.

Think back to the 1980s. Programmers were in very short supply, and the work they were doing was less accessible and more difficult than it was today. IDEs, version control, better languages and frameworks, easy access to tools to learn to code, Stack Overflow, etc. made programming much more accessible and engineers became much more productive. The number of programmers out there is orders of magnitudes greater than three decades ago. Yet real salaries have still grown tremendously. The value per capita has grown even faster than those salaries because they’re so productive.

The same thing is going to happen here. Artists will build unimaginably huge, complex projects (on the scale of Google/Facebook/Amazon), and the world will gobble them up.

Any US/Japan comparison that focuses solely on their legal system (or any other single aspect) while ignoring all of the other massive differences is completely disconnected from reality.

Relative to the US, Japan is ethnically and culturally much more homogeneous. The culture has an intense focus on communalism, respect and duty as well as a host of other differences. For example, cleanliness is much more highly valued. Communal values are often said to have been shaped by the much more frequent natural disasters suffered by Japan. Healthcare is much more affordable and accessible. They have rather different taboos and attitudes around sex. And so on.

Since you apparently believe that a draconian justice system is the primary (sole?) secret to a peaceful society, you might also want to broaden your research to consider countries whose cultures are much closer to America's, have justice systems are much more lenient than America's, and still manage to have lower crime rates. Because there are a lot of them.

I have not spent time in Japan, so feel free to discount this. But I suspect the causal relationship is much more likely to be:

communalism --> (low crime + harsh penalties for violating societal norms)

Than it is to be:

harsh penalties --> low crime
