> It doesn't sound like the individual was deceitful, given they are able to track his donations.

> If anything, This is an argument that sperm recipients should demand some level of transparency about the donors.

It's right there in the article: "The donor "deliberately misinformed" prospective parents about the number of children he had already fathered in the past" and "He was taken to court by a foundation protecting donor children's rights, and by the mother of one of the children allegedly fathered from his sperm."

Not all of these children were conceived in the Netherlands. The principle argument appears to not be about half-siblings marrying each other, but about the psychosocial dynamics of a particular person having a half-sibling network of 500+ people, and trying to deal with this fact during the course of their life.
I can’t reply to your latest comment for some reason, so:

> This has to be the most misinformed counterargument of all time. The brain certainly doesn't use maths as it is not a binary system. Information is approximated and estimated. Do some reading on chemically mediated graded responses and how neurotransmitters actually function within a synapse.

Uh, what? The brain is a physical object. The way that physical objects work is dictated by the equations of physics (maths). Are you telling me that the brain doesn’t abide by physics?

And weren’t you just telling me that something that uses approximations/probability isn’t reasoning?

“chemically mediated graded responses”

That sounds like roughly the same thing as an activation function that neural networks like GPT models use.

> A further counterpoint: if you follow the Fence proponents' logic to its conclusion you can never remove any code which is clearly an absurd situation.

No, that would only be the case if one would never understand any code. Chesterton's Fence consists of two parts ("understanding some code" as a precondition to "removing some code"), and leaving one or the other part out makes it some other thing than what Chesterton's Fence means.

> The real blame lies with the person who built the apparently useless fence and didn't put a sign on it explaining why it shouldn't be removed.

Chesterton's Fence is not about blame, or the past in general - it is about how to deal with things that are in the present. (Although I agree that the original fence-builder should have left a note or two!)

FWIW when I worked in a Finance company with a lot of Cobol + JCL + DB2 devs (including in management so I could see more info) their salaries were on average similar to Full Stack but possibly lower, especially as we put more AWS emphasis which those people started getting more premium salaries. Some banks I hear give cobol premium but it seems to be more specifically very specific mainframe systems experience + cobol.

In the perspective of software engineering economics, the scale is important.

Yes, but natural gas isn't pure methane and CO2 isn't good for the brain. Burning something without a vented hood in a closed space can be incredibly dangerous. Especially if you're talking about high rise apartment buildings where... well... hot gas rises.

you are speaking about _one directional consecutive rides_

I.e. 10 rides are just 5 trips

if you have a ride home from work and take some side route to stop at a shopping mall or Kino or so that counts as an additional trip

but someone using it for work daily tends to have more then 42 rides a month not just 10 and that is just for work transit in a 5 work day week

and then this is assuming you only travel in the AB area and not the outer area of Berlin

and there are many (in summer) nice places close by Berlin, some still in the C area some beyond

Well, I'd politely agree to disagree. Google scale is defined by novel, radical approaches, like for example inventing map/reduce, writing papers on LLMs others then implement successfully, or creating something like Kubernetes.

The specific topic here is not one of those google problems to me, as I can compare it to other problems we already solved. But yes, we could miss that critical point where a totally different problem domain emerges just from one order of magnitude more, so fair game.
Having spent several orders of magnitude more time working on drawing than with SD, I’ll say “Drawing isn’t hard for some people”.

If you're telling me that fully eliminating gas stoves in the U.S. (something that will not happen in our lifetimes and will come at great political and personal cost) is going to reduce U.S.-specific emissions by just 1%, I think I'm even more convinced that this regulation should not have been passed.

Sure; but working at another very large company, I can say I wish we had this.

Old unused code is a huge problem for us. The coordination costs of trying to update company wide problems are made much more severe by old code.

I wish we had something like this. We’re large enough we’d need our own system anyway. We don’t have a monorepo, and we don’t use tools so many others do.
Uhhh... woe is you? Plenty of non-poor people live with gas stoves, often without fume hoods, and even prefer gas. Not once have I ever felt ill or victimized because I had to cook on gas.
I don’t think I’ve mischaracterized anything, unless you’re telling me that you didn’t mean to paint this effort as meaningless posturing by ineffective environmentalists that would only have negative results.

If nothing would make you happier, make that point in your comment. “Maybe this will make a difference in 20 years” or “nuclear advancement is what we need” would completely change the tone.
I hope you don't use that stove to cook, because if you do, you are putting hundreds of times more harmful particulates into the air than the stove puts out alone.

This is the same kind of "green"-feeling hypocrisy as the plastic bag bans. After Australia banned plastic bags, they found an increased amount of plastic in their landfills. Why? Because people used to re-use them as trash bags and were now buying much thicker dedicated plastic bags for the purpose.
SO surveys are more indicative of how many people are aware of it and think it’s cool than how many people actually use it in anger.

Safe driving for a human also depends heavily on predictable behavior of others. If that's an important metric, it seems like the optimal solution is a single self-driving system with a monopoly on the market... that way each and every driver is predictable, correct?

I guess I don't understand your argument. We put faulty humans in control of a ton of steel/battery in the same system all the time; humans have the disadvantage that when lessons are learned, they aren't transferrable without great amounts of effort. Self-driving systems can share learnings across the whole fleet with software updates, which seems like a strictly better solution in the long term.

It seems like you're making perfect the enemy of "better".

> they're not making an informed estimate of the actual risks

"Dutch clinical guidelines state that a donor should not father more than 25 children in 12 families."

Clinicians have already made the informed estimate for me. 500-600 children with the same parent is a more than the recommended 25.

> a couple to be legally prohibited

There are no couples involved here. There's this donor, a clinic with an ethics board, and their clients. The court are not even looking in the area you're so concerned about, and nobody is thinking of making any laws in that area.

Incest is not illegal in the Netherlands, so have it away with your mother/father/sister/brother if it makes you happy. But if you open a fertility clinic, I would hope that you adhere to clinical best practises, including reducing the risk of inadvertent inbreeding.

No, you aren't alone. It sounds so weird and elitist...
I totally may be misunderstanding. I see that developers and miners work with and for each other because of their mutual stake in the network (there is some "trustless." :))

I think if even 1 developer has a court order for them to push to master, it will happen whether anyone wants it to, since GitHub is already known to mindlessly abide by government requests. (see popcorntime dmca)

The people who merge or pull the code have the ultimate decision. But it's a problem. Who is accepting the code and who isn't? The developer can be disallowed from contributing to the code if this change isn't accepted. (Explicitly not "compelled speech" to "not say" something - this would be a gagball.) So the next patch comes. The question of who is forking and is who isn't raises from 50%/50% to 25%/75% until the numerator approaches zero. For the sake of networking the question isn't "whether I want to accept this patch" but "whether I think most people will accept this patch."

So the miners have a endless chain of developers who are asking for this patch or no more patches. For the miners to have leverage with developers they need to be able to take over the code themselves. The next set of developers will have this issue, ad infinitum, unless the cycle is broken somehow.

IMO the solution has to involve zero knowledge proofs which is the closest we can get to preventing rubber-hose legal attacks. Since XMR probably won't gain the traction to become a competitor to BTC, BTC will probably have to integrate it or continue to suffer from problems like this.

edited to add addendum:

The incoming/departing core developers & the open source nature of the BTC codebase also presents an issue. Unless the miners are reviewing each pull indiscriminately, they are trusting the code developers to have merged PRs that they want. How does an open source contribution, blessed by a core developer, become trustless? Anonymity is necessary to prevent core developers from being compelled, but names are necessary for trust of core developers.

I don't have to research sentencing to feel that 4.5 years is out of line with the amount of victimization being discussed. What would you think was justified for someone who abused children for profit? Someone who forced kids to do lewd things, so they could sell photos of it? Is possessing the material different? Or do think causing lifelong harm to children, in general, is only worth a handful of years to the abuser? Is 1/25 of a life really the just outcome for an entire life in therapy? A lifetime of trust issues? What if one of those kids committed suicide because they couldn't cope? So 4.5 years, huh?

The US has plenty of examples of light sentencing. Rapists who get "time served" is common. Victim blaming is part of what we do. Serious crimes deserve serious punishment or the ROI on crime becomes worth it.
286 from gas appliances [1]

24,000 for all electrical fires. [2]

I wasn't able to find specifically fires caused by electric stoves. Most are caused by faulty wiring, lights, and space heaters.

My assumption, stoves are not often involved in electric fires. They have isolated, grounded circuits that you aren't frequently plugging and unplugging into. The thinker cables usually have thicker insulation on top of that.

1. Do you believe in banning other bad things people do to themselves like smoking or eating too much? Obesity is by far the largest public health problem in the United States.

2. There is a relevant difference between doing something bad for you (like smoking - legal but the government tries hard to let you know it's bad) and murdering others with a knife.
I'm not arguing that it should exist for €9, I'm arguing that there's a major difference in the effects of a €9 ticket vs. a €49 ticket. I'd actually change my behavior for a €9 ticket. I won't for a €49 ticket, because I won't buy it. And the point of this ticket is to get people to change their behavior.

I mainly get around by bike. I basically use my car for: bad weather, large shopping trips, outings with kids and going to the area around Berlin. I'd consider doing some of the latter two with a public transit pass if I had one.

I actually used to have a monthly ticket -- when I needed it for work. But a lot of people work from home, or bike to work, and for those folks a €49 ticket still really can't be justified. You'd need to make 20 trips a month for it to work out, and if you're not taking public transit to work, that's a larger number than one's likely to need.
