==no more dysfunctional, shameful organization exists in this country than CPS==

Are you not familiar with the CPD (Chicago Police Department)? The police probably have more of an impact on the topic at hand (crime and violence) than CPS.

They are far more shameful, dysfunctional, and incompetent than CPS. From forced confessions [1] to planting drugs [2] to electing radical leaders [3]. They are on a Federal consent decree because of their ineptitude and violations of civil rights [4].

I saw "mark" and immediately though "scam" (which I figured would be easy to get to from "investor," but it told me that "scam" and "mark" share only 2% similarity.

I can't even go from "investor" to "money" (16%). I'm not sure how "Zuckerberg" is closer to "investor" than "money" is.
Oh wow, this is nuts. I guess this guy is a walking evidence FAA does some things right. Sheesh.
But he hears gun shots sometimes and saw a drug dealer. That surely proves everything has gotten out of hand. Time to lock people up before they're proven guilty of committing any crimes, put non-violent criminals in cages, and permanently ruin peoples lives, preventing them from gainful employment!

I don't think you need counterexamples, because your base argument is faulty. Food full of formaldyhde only causes harm as the product of human usage, i.e. someone eating it, regulation aims to make it impossible for such a situation to arise. For a less extreme but no less real example, just look at the regulation of raw milk in much of the world.

Elsewhere in the thread you have touched on firearm regulation; it's worth noting that amongst states with the capacity to do so, it is really only the US that abdicates its responsibility to regulate firearms, with predictably tragic consequences (though, as with everything in the US, that varies state to state etc.)

I'm well aware of the distinction. I'm simply saying that it is a fact that guns do not shoot people on their own. Some countries regulate differently, obviously. You also seem to think governments, which are made by the said humans that can do "profound damage", are infallible.

At the end of the day you either democratize the access, or you don't. Those who want to break the law will break it either way. All you are going to do is punish those who follow the law by not giving them access.

For what it's worth - I couldn't care less about guns and wouldn't mind their banning. However I trust my government. If you do not, I would not want guns to be banned. But that's the thing - a government I don't trust would not want citizens to have guns to begin with, and thus the dilemma.
Interestingly, if you use Bard, there are buttons that direct people to use the Google search engine to find out more information about subjects. Google has a problem that their search results absolutely suck nowadays, though. One of the worst search features on any website is on YouTube which is owned by Google. They seem to value revenue generation techniques more than functionality, but it is going to eventually bite them. We are seeing that now with many people finding better results using Bing or by simply asking ChatGPT.
This comment is so disingenuous it's ridiculous. It's like opposing gun regulation with some contrived scenario about water pistols and Nerf guns.
The vast majority of people in jail before trial are not suspected of shooting anyone. Many are low-level offenders waiting in jail for months despite still having the presumption of innocence. Often the time they spend in jail before trial exceeds the length of the sentence they would get if convicted. This can pressure people to falsely plead guilty since it's actually the fastest way to get out of jail.
The difference is Boeing was negligence and carelesness, while that plane crash was intentional.
There is no malicious or unnecessary prosecution of police in the entire country that I am aware of. There's some grudging prosecution when they do something so egregious and so public that it horrifies the nation.

Imagine fucking up Afghanistan (and Iraq and Vietnam etc etc) so amazingly hard yet still saying this lol.
He's not defending this but baring witness to the double standard that a corporation can basically do the same thing(Knowingly put bad hardware/software into a plane for profit vs jumping out of a plane) and kill hundreds and see no consequences.

Every executive and manager in the hierarchy of responsibility should be seeing that jail time, if not even more.

I don't think the person you're replying to thinks that this youtuber should have gotten off scott free, but that the double standard is an indictment of the industry and regulation agencies at large.
If people are not allowed to rant sometimes, this is a sad world.
The point is that regulation doesn’t just kill unethical startups, it kills all startups.
Real solution depends on increasing jail and prison capacity. Why are massive, state-run, gulag-style camps are not in the books? With spare capacity so that every would-be criminal knows there's space for everyone, further deterring them? It must also instill fear and terror in every criminal, including those born and raised in most terrible conditions.

Basically when I see even faint signs of folks' favoring more authoritarian policies (e.g. being "tough on crime,") I want us to notice those signs, and think hard about how to keep that instinct from getting a full head of steam.

If there’s a workable progressive solution to degraded qualify of life due to crime, including nonviolent crime—where is it working? SF? Portland? Chicago? DC? NYC?

It’s not like there are republicans in any of these places, so what’s the issue?

The proof of the pudding is in the tasting.
Indeed NP problems are in a way astonishingly easy in that they have the very specific, curious property of being polynomial-time verifiable, which is clearly not true for arbitrary hard problems. In other words, problems in NP are those that can be brute-forced because checking an individual answer candidate is cheap. (This is, of course, just another way to phrase the definition of NP: the class of problems solvable in polynomial time on a non-deterministic TM.)
But the whole modern development it's a nightmare as I see, or at least the advertised modern serverless development, you need to depend on:

- Some serverless hosting
- Some database provider
- Some auth provider
- Some other service, etc

In the past you just rented a simple VPS or shared hosting, setup all by yourself and have just one provider for everything, nowadays I read that auth it's very hard and you should not do it and instead use some auth provider (Auth0, etc).

I remember the good old days with php, just upload your file and it worked, now they try to replicate that experience but with dozens of providers.
About the Bugatti Chiron, per my understanding of Australian law - you can legally import a brand-new one-but you can’t legally drive it on public roads. Well, put it away for 25-30 years, then suddenly it becomes old enough to be street legal. You can drive it on a private road (which legally means a road closed to the public). You can drive it on a racetrack. You can move it around on the back of a truck. You can even get a short-term permit to drive it on the public roads, but only to move it to a new permanent storage location, or to take it to the mechanics. If you are wealthy enough to afford one, you are wealthy enough to deal with all these complexities of owning one in Australia.
You do not consent, do you?
You still have the fundamental issue of storing it correctly in the first place. Do most languages time libraries account for localized temporal shifts of this nature by default? It does seem true that you could query an authoritative source, but on entry:

If I say the event happened 60 years ago exactly, and it’s 1pm, what do I mean by “exactly?” Do I mean the day 60 years ago, at 1pm? Or 60 years ago, taking into account timezone shifts? Do I, the person entering this information, even know or care about this distinction? If you enter an event as 60 years ago, would your average joe expect that the time would shift by 23 minutes, or would they think there’s something wrong with the software?

What about timezone differences that vary depending not only on geography, but also on the ethnicity of the people associated with the event?

Your example is flawed because the harm is obvious and palpable. Not to mention food in most countries must disclose ingredients that are used. Take alcohol which is known to be poisonous. Do you support its banning: yes or no?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3959903/

Food should be regulated because as you mentioned it is consumed and is a vector for obvious harm. In addition to that due to the fact that food is comprised of chemicals, it is difficult to ascertain the quality of food once prepared without consumption.

Banning AI is like banning books. Useless. Information will spread either way. It'll just do so elsewhere.
> The opening of the article is actually lamenting how the men have been send to watch porn at home while later it explains how at the past they would've been warring in the open.

I understood it in such a way that men realized that there is some porn on the Internets and they chooses to stop being a warriors. If my understanding is wrong - than the men have been sent to watch porn by whom? Feminists? God? Vinton Gray Cerf?

> And both in the past and today a single witness without colaborating evidence would be called "a bitch" "a whore", and "you've gotten what you deserve".

But what if the witness is strong enough to be not refused? I can not forget when Brendan Eich stopped being CEO of Mosilla because he donated a thousand dollars to some traditional (anti-gay) movement. Even RMS has been fired from FSF just for defending Marvin Minsky. These guys are the best possible candidates for their workplaces.

Something to note is Nintendo makes profits on their hardware where as the other two (Microsoft & Sony) typically take a loss on their hardware, until about midway point of the console's life.

I believe the other two make up the loss on the hardware with licensing rights on the software side of things.

Imagine if a city sued homeowners because it’s their fault for calling the police after a break-in, because they used a deadbolt that failed the LockPickingLawyer. This is about equally as sane.

Yes, yes, I know that Hyundai and Kia vehicles are easy pickings, but they talk as though “those vehicles are easy to steal, so those teenagers, they just felt so compelled to…” Nobody forces somebody to steal a car. If anti-theft prevents a car theft, consider that is still someone who had intent to steal a vehicle if it were possible.

How is it Hyundai's fault that people steal cars? It's acting as if theives are some force of nature that we can't control or something. You prevent theft by putting theives in jail. It's not complicated.
Both sides have a narrative.

The news CNN or NYTimes night carry is often ignored by NYPost or Fox and vice versa because it doesn't fit their narratives.

Having a narrative on either side doesn't mean the things being reported on are incorrect or even embellished.

But yes, you do need to be aware of the narrative so you can place different weights on news items.

I can't help but feel like the phenomena described in the article, happening throughout the US, is a physical manifestation of growing real economic inequality. That sounds obvious on its face but sometimes it seems lost in discussions, which focus on the housing and neighborhood development processes rather than the systems leading to them.
So it's a little more complicated than that with the electronic monitoring program where people charged with violent crimes can be electronically monitored at home. For example early last year, ~100 people charged with murder in Cook Country (where the prosecutor in the letter worked) were at home monitored.

Good thing you never use file names with spaces ;)
No, that's not how it works in the real world. that's how it works in your low-fidelity perception of the real world. You've never much bothered to check if your model matches the observations you might make.

Look at the statement "private entities can't be compelled by the government". Which government are we even talking about here? It's quite clear that many governments do actually compel such things when it suits them. Have you never noticed?

You might switch to making the argument that "private governments shouldn't x", and I suppose if you were clever they might even be good arguments. You might also make the argument that this government or that government doesn't currently do it... but that boils down to "I want it to continue not compelling x". Hardly an argument, except maybe for the status quo.

You don't know what I'm asking for. It's an idea far enough outside your narrow cone of comprehension and even narrower cone of imagination that we might as well not even be speaking the same language.

Sure, and everything people do with sum types can also be done with plain C structs, and has been done like that in decades. But I think that saying that multiple returns (which are a sort of product type) “encompass” the error use case (logically a sum type) is overstating the case a bit. I would accept that returning errors can be achieved without sum types (and obviously is achieved without sum types in practice in the huge amount of code in languages that don’t have sum types).

But I would not personally design a new language without sum types or some other similarly strict solution for the kind of programming that will encounter errors.
