> solely because they can't pay $2,000

It's not "solely" because we're talking about someone already committed a crime. This punishment is not JUST for a poor person, it is for a poor person who is a criminal. Whatever judgement we attribute to the matter, saying this is a punishment for being poor is effectively saying poor people are basically criminals.

This isn't a double standard between rich and poor, but rather a double standard between rich criminals and poor criminals, which in my opinion is lower in priority compared ot things like helping poor people who don't commit crimes and are good people.

That's true, but it also allowed protestant "heretics" to propagate an idea that caused a permanent schism with the Catholic church, which led to centuries of wars that killed who-knows-how-many people, up to recent times with Northern Ireland.

I knew guy who made "generated" text books in 2010. He would absorb several articles, and loosely stitch them into chapters with some computer scripts and from memory. In a week he would produce 400 pages on new subject. It was mostly coherent and factual (it kept references). Usually it was the only book on market about given subject (like rare disease).

The age of imperialism is not over, except where someone enforces it. That someone is mostly the US, but UK and France also do a lot of work that I know of. None of them are perfect, all have a lot of blood on their hands, but overall imperialism is mostly dead despite many who would turn to it if they could.

In economic theory there are good reasons to say that every country has better options than imperialism - but imperialism often looks easy.

Archive.ph has trouble from time-to-time. Give it a couple hours and someone will "reboot the hamster".
Overall we're highly focused on providing solid developer workflows, ex. with HyperDX users can correlate a log to a trace (and vice-versa) really easily in the same UI, we don't silo out features that are commonly needed in a single workflow. You can also search everything from a single panel, whether it's a log, trace, or client-side event, using the same syntax which means there's less to learn.

Feature-to-feature, I'd say the things we do better is browser-side monitoring (session replay), event patterns/clustering, and we have first-party SDKs built on OpenTelemetry to make the setup a lot easier than vanilla OpenTelemetry.

I think Signoz has built a nice one-stop platform for observability, whereas we go one step further and focus on the developer experience to ensure anyone can fully leverage that observability data!

Why not?

As to Why --> this one actually has a decent GUI and one that's not (visibly) based on a locally running webserver -- so it seems like it's got a shot at getting 100x popular with just a YouTube video (or gasp Tiktok). With the popularity of open-source today I find it a little hard to trust that something is "ensuring maximum privacy" as you say without having the open-source badge (yes, I know I shouldn't be so naive, but no, I am not going to look at network level logs to find out if the app is truly contained to local).

> The printing press democratized knowledge.

Not for centuries. Due to the expense of the technology and the requirement in some locations for a royal patent to print books, the printing press just opened up knowledge a bit more from the Church and aristocracy to the bourgeoisie, but it did little for the masses until as late as the 1800s.

It doesn’t matter. It’s garbage content and immediately recognizable as being AI generated.

It is absolutely possible to write a good article or even a good book with AI, but at least for now it’s just as hard, if not harder, than doing it without AI.

But of course people trying to make a quick buck won’t put in the required effort, and they likely don’t even have the ability to create great or even good content.
In 2021-2022, China was the number two source of immigrants to Australia, after India. If Australia is more successful at attracting Chinese immigrants than Japan, the problem isn't availability of Chinese people wishing to immigrate, the problem is Japan's attractiveness as an immigration destination for Chinese people–and surely that's something Japan can improve if they try.

Also, there a lot of ethnic Chinese people in Australia who are actually from Malaysia or Singapore; Malaysian Chinese want to escape the discrimination of Malaysia's Bumiputera policy; many Singaporeans want an escape from Singapore's cramped living conditions (small apartments). So ethnic Chinese immigrants can be sources from places other than China proper.
I don't think a new version will come out at all. Steam Deck profits are like console profits, it's sold very little margin to get you into the ecosystem, in this case Steam. But when ASUS, Lenovo, and everyone else is making similar devices that run Steam anyways, Valve's profit stream will be there whether they make the devices or not.

At release the Steam Deck competed with the Nintendo Switch, which doesn't run Steam. The Steam Deck has pushed Steam into the handheld market, but other devices can keep it going without a second Steam Deck.

> If you have a normal BMI, no diabetes, and want Ozempic for aesthetic reasons you first have to find a willing prescriber - not easy although I'm sure there are shady online services out there.

You are wildly underestimating how many doctors are willing to prescribe medicines without a strong need. Have you heard of the opiod epidemic?

> Then you have to pay for the drug out of pocket, that's a 5 figure sum annually.

Unless you can convince your insurance company to pay for it -- say, with the help of a willing doctor. And even if you can't, there are a surprising number of people who will pay that kind of money for weight loss.

> You can get a nutritionist, personal trainer, and meal prep for less in a lot of the country.

You've been able to get those things for many years. They are not the same as an easy weight loss drug.

> As another poster pointed out, 2/3 of the country are overweight or obese.

The medical definition of "overweight" is quite broad, and clinically it's based on BMI, an extremely flawed measurement at an individual level. There are certainly plenty of people with a medical need for a weight loss drug! (I am one of them!) But there are also plenty of people who think they are ugly because they are 10-15 pounds over their "ideal" weight and have one little roll of belly fat. There is a strong tendency to medicalize this kind of problem. This is a pretty big part of American culture. Have you not encountered this before?

What I'm arguing here is that when a drug is in limited supply the people with an immediate need for it (diabetics) ought to take precedence over people who are worried about potential future health problems somewhere down the line (younger, mildly obese people), and that people who are mainly worried about cosmetics ought to wait for wider availability. I don't think that's controversial?
Apart from being very far apart time wise, I don't think the examples are relevant. IPv6 was nothing like that. In several ways, IPv6 is more simple than IPv4. It has constant header size (simplifies routing), the layer busting ARP was reworked into special case of ICMP, global routing rules was vastly simplified (routing table takes less space even if addresses are much larger). And it's telling that during the past twenty years, no one has come up with a more practical deployment scheme.

You can criticize IPsec and mobile IP which was tacked on to the spec. But starting from scratch, a core IP v6 stack is easier to implement than a v4. The TCP parts is downright nasty in comparison.

Most importantly, IPv6 was developed in the open. IETF is the counter example to design-by-committee. That's true today, and that was doubly true twenty years ago.

Every discussion since them mostly concerns resurrecting old ideas about either impractical extensions (misusing port numbers and flags to extend addressing, none of these schemes have been proven practical), more efficient address space allocations (which would have bought us a couple of years, at most) or various ways to tunnel traffic in backwards compatible ways (which is what we did back when 6bone was a thing, but which is not useful anymore).

The mailing lists are completely open. You can join any one of them today, and people did. You can still follow how the discussions went in the archives. Hopefully no one has suggested that IPv6 is the best we can do, but that the process still works and that anyone capable and interested is welcome to attend.

> there are both pros and cons of zoning to prevent high population density

You can’t have low population density everywhere, amidst population growth, without causing those problems. They’re inherent to supply and demand, logistics and transportation cost, and the geographic limits of civil services like police and fire.

You can have low density for the rich (same services, higher cost) or destitute (same cost, fewer services). But not everyone. Being selfish is okay—you can move to a place with a shrinking population or somewhere low density with high costs or lower your standard of living voluntarily. But forcing that everywhere, while ignoring the destitution and destruction it necessarily causes, is morally wrong. (It’s also ineffective.)

For what it’s worth, I moved from New York City to Jackson Hole. The latter is low density. But it’s expensive. And we have to subsidise housing for many people, paid for through property taxes, to keep even the small community sustainable and morally balanced. (Which makes it more expensive.) That means we need to accept that the cities should be unshackled, because our community couldn’t afford to sustain itself without the economic productivity of America’s urban cores.

>> So maybe building greenfield projects also makes you better at maintaining existing projects?

Only to an extent, i think.

> I've had a lot of problems with people who (seemingly) only have experience maintaining projects.

And similarly I've had problems with people who (seemingly) only have experience with starting a new project and then simultaneously over-engineering and piling on tech debt.

I think "i've never bootstrapped a project before" is easier to cure than "I don't have a good sense of what's expensive vs what's cheap tech debt."

Some tech debt is basically 0% interest. Was this small hack bad? Yeah. Will it need to be fixed, eventually? Yes, for sure. But does it compound every day, or does it just sit there being a little yucky? Very easy to determine in hindsight. Very hard to predict as you write the hack. The end result being the simultaneity in my example. People will over-engineer things that won't end up being problems and under-engineer things that will turn out to require compounding hacks and it would've been cheaper to just get it right the first time.

What I've noticed is there there is a huge "app subsidy" (drive through tax?) for many fast food chains. For example, Taco Bell has a $6 online-only combo that's probably 40-60% discount over the drive-thru menu equivalent. I've noticed similar things with other chains as well.

As a business strategy, this makes some minor amount of sense since the app orders are transparently more efficient than drive through orders (say name and get food vs read menu and then "can I get uhhhhhh"). I also suspect online orders probably on average larger than drive up orders because it's easier to order more. On the other hand, there is very very minimal advertising of the app at the store. That sort of makes sense too - App orders probably have lower margin because the price sensitive customers are using it. So you don't want to steer your price insensitive customers to it if you don't have to. Overall, it's actually a nice case of price discrimination.

A lot of this analysis is purely about style, not substance. It's a discussion of what font the website uses, not whether it's useful and easy to navigate website. We should be evaluating buildings based on wether they are in the right place in the first place, wether it creates a walkable setting, wether you can find the front door easily, wether you can navigate around the building easily, wether they are energy efficient, wether they provide a healthy internal environment... etc. What decorations you stick on the outside are kind of the last thing to worry about. For example, the main problem with the brutalist building with the caption 'Some people like this building, some do not. But all must experience it' is scale, not style, if you chopped off the top five floors and left only three storeys, it would be much more acceptable in its setting. A lot of the problems with brutalist architecture are less to do with the style of materials and more a failure to address basic design issues like signalling 'where's the front door?'.
