The way I read u/ecohen16's telling is that Mitnick first beat apathy and bureaucracy just to have a shot at mitigating a disease, thereby postponed the inevitable.

I've lived it. Late 80s, I had a terminal diagnosis. Lucky me, my doc found a clinical trial, and fought like hell to get my HMO to pay. Justification was for org to use me to learn about emerging treatment (stem cell transplant is current variation).

A few years ago, my buddy got a terminal diagnosis. Apparent chronic sports related injury turned out to be a late stage tumor, which had spread. Prognosis was 3 - 6 months. None of his care providers were interested in escalating, only talking about palliative care and hospice. He did exactly as Mitnick. Managed to get enrolled in a clinical trial using immunotherapy for his precise diagnosis. Timing wise, a few weeks either way and he'd be dead. Dumb luck.

I can give a few more examples. (And 100s of counter examples.)

Do patients beat cancer?

Of course not. Among the survivors I know, disease (like cancer) is part of life and you deal with it. Or not.

But, some times, if we're really stubborn, and have sufficient resources and support and dumb luck, we can do things to live a little bit longer.

> that did not "Fight hard enough"

Sometimes the patient, family, and especially the care providers don't fight hard enough. For all sorts of reasons. Probably because awareness of mortality made humans neurotic and we're all just winging it. Probably because everything is russian dolls of triage.

Any way, it's just a metaphor. Chose the one that works for you.

Just like I refuse to victim blame/shame, I'm not going to judge another person's coping mechanisms.
There's a whole other dynamic when a person interviews another person that AI can't replace. I don't see it as feasible. Every interview is voluntary, you can't force anybody to be interviewed by an AI and most subjects would decline. Those who accepted to be interviewed by an AI would be seen as people basically interviewing themselves.

"when it's just regurgitating some press release or new study or product launch."

Maybe news media should start moving away from this model? They can link to the press release and be done with it. The valuable thing they do is their own reporting and investigating.

They hold a public trust like judges (and in theory politicians) and because of this they need to be held to the highest standards and not the lowest standards (which is what we do now). In my opinion a cop breaking the law is much more egregious than a civilian breaking the same law because the cop betrayed the public trust.
But like all laws applying a heuristic to technology it will rapidly become outdated.

I find this type of overly simplistic claim pretty naive and unhelpful.

If you knew any police, you would know it sure doesn't look like a privilege. It is often an unpleasant job. Policing is much more dangerous than the average job, often involves dealing with the mentally ill, intoxicated, people in some form of crisis, people who are just antisocial criminal jerks, etc. It is not very well compensated profession. Society cannot function without laws and enforcement of laws. Police deserve the basic respect we accord to teachers, firefighters, and other vital civil servants.

If you want to solve a problem, it is first useful to gain an accurate understanding of the current state.

> I do a lot of support work for Control Systems. It isn't unheard to find a chunk of PLC code that treats some sort of physical equipment in a unique way that unintentionally creates problems. I like to parrot a line I heard elsewhere: "Every time Software to fix a [Electrical/Mechanical] problem, a Gremlin is born".

At least some of this is cultural. EEs and MEs have historically viewed software less seriously than electrical and mechanical systems. As a result, engineering cultures dominated by EEs/MEs tend to produce shit code. Inexcusably incompetent software engineering remains common among ostensibly Professional Engineers.

The entire point is that "an honest mistake" shouldn't be able to cause a large incident at a mature company.

That Wikipedia page was created in 2020. Northern Exposure predates that.

Going with the OP's theme: if we repeat the GP's comment enough times, over a long enough period, we can change history and then history would really show it to have originated from the "story "Ed" told in the TV show 'Northern Exposure.'"

Turns out the minimal dependencies needed involve several OS packages and also the special "dev" versions of those packages installed, and I need to use one of the right subset of terminals.

Having the implicit knowledge to get the "magic", doesn't have anything to do with minimizing dependencies. Sounds like the real thing being said is: "It's neat when people use a toolchain and environment I'm familiar with". I don't think that extrapolates to "minimal dependencies are what we want".
Using !mdn takes you to a mediocre-at-best MDN search page, not a specific page. My experience is that you’ll get better results from just adding the “mdn” keyword to the query and jumping to the first result—that is, instead of, say, `mix-blend-mode !mdn` (which takes you to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=mix-blend-mode), `mix-blend-mode mdn !` (which takes you to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/mix-blend-m... the ! to skip the results page and go to the first match can be at the start or end of the entire query). This technique doesn’t guarantee you’ll end up on MDN, but for realistic queries you’re almost certain to.

I believe your qualifier "on average" is fine for communicating you are not making sweeping generalizations. I prefer the phrasing of
<who/subject>
<did/verb>
<qualifiers/adverbs>
<what/object acted upon>
and then adding in context: when/where/why/how.

I would have written it this way. I believe on average our ancestors had more muscular physiques than us, despite having what laymen today would deem a poor diet lacking sufficient nutrition due to the heavy physical labor required in the past.
If a country’s government really wants to get rid of a lot of large cash transactions, they could phase out some paper money like India (no cryptocurrency required) but in the US it doesn’t seem very likely?

Most money in the US already consists of electronic records in banks. Making bank transfers work better is fairly orthogonal to whether ATM’s work and retailers accept cash.

It's more than a little biased to just point at deaths.

Work isn't disappearing.

The US has great employment numbers that have been stable except for a few systemic shocks. With globalization, more people worldwide have been employed and lifted out of poverty than ever before.

Self-employment is also a rising labor trend. What's more fulfilling than being your own boss?

Can you go into more detail here on what you think will change from the status quo? Existing bank transfers are obviously not secret from the government on request. While the government doesn't have direct access to run search heuristics on the whole dataset they just delegate that to the banks' internal compliance team.

In years of using self checkout, I've required human assistance only a handful of times, maybe 3 or 4 minutes total over all the years. That's still a huge improvement over waiting for cashiers. Perhaps your experiences were different, but for me they are a godsend. That's not really the point though.

About the jobs, yes, we are in agreement about the displacement. I'm saying we need better systems to deal with that displacement at the social/national level, not at the micro level of an individual job going away one at a time.

There's just no way capitalist companies are going to keep unnecessary labor employed. Staff are a cost that eat away at profits. I'm not saying that's a nice way to think about it, but that's how they work, and unless we can directly tackle that part of the mindset (that humans are there just as an input to some owner's dollars out), we won't really solve the issue. Bandaiding them through forced employment laws won't really work as our companies just become less efficient and companies outsource. You can't really have a protected economy like that unless you're also willing to limit outsourcing (which I'd be for, but capitalists who control the government aren't).

I would love to get paid a living wage doing something less brain-wracking than coding (like journalism or barista-ing). But our economic system doesn't make that easy, or even possible. It's going to get worse over time without deep structural change...

It seems disingenuous to sweep "actively working to deny people civil rights" under the rug of "having an unpopular political opinion."

Partially because this wasn't just a matter of having an opinion; this was an extremely concrete _action._ Even if you want to take the (dubious) stance that people should not be held responsible for their beliefs, surely we should still hold people responsible for their actions?

It's not an account you create in a classical way using a server. It's locally generated data wallet ( we need it for encryption and sync). We talk via on-boarding that your wallet will be synced, and that your data is encrypted only with the key generated on your machine. It's for people who don't want to mess with self-hosting.

If you really believe that, I recommend going outside and stepping off 25 feet and then trying some smartphone recordings. 25 feet is actually very close. I wouldn't be surprised if cops find it very uncomfortable to have bystanders that close when any kind of violent encounter is in progress. Most people can run that distance in under 2 seconds.
