The singularity scenario does not require malice to result in disaster. When your capabilities are superhuman, almost every goal is more easily and reliably accomplished with no living creatures around to complicate things. Unless the goal explicitly preserves them, the logical option is to kill them all. And "accomplish goal", or "accomplish goal with a botched constraint that doesn't actually save anyone" is simpler than "accomplish goal without killing everybody", so it's more likely to be tried first.
None of it is charity to (newer) homeowners. If it was, they would just give people cash. It is a subsidy to people who already own property, by creating a greater supply of buyers who can pay more.

This is a better and more concrete example of the point made in the article:
- https://www.zachleat.com/web/details-utils

The `details-utils` component enhances the behavior of the built-in HTML `detail` component. If for any reason you have JavaScript disabled, then using a web component like this would be just fine because the `detail` component would continue to behave like it always does. If you have JS enabled (or it's finished downloading) then you have an enhanced version of it that has features like collapsing when you click outside of it, etc. That's the part that's reusable when used like this.

That web component from the creator of 11ty is what made the point made in the article click for me. When I first started looking at web components I was like, "this still requires JavaScript and doesn't work without it," and that was the same point Rich Harris made in this article: https://dev.to/richharris/why-i-don-t-use-web-components-2ci...

> In a functional democracy, with rule of law and strong civic institutions, governments is exactly how we solve problems.

Some problems, perhaps. But not all problems. In the US, the government is supposed to be restricted to a certain set of functions that are explicitly delegated to it in the Constitution. It is not supposed to solve everything that anyone thinks is a problem. Of course, the actual practice in the US has diverged greatly from this, but that is a bug, not a feature.

> Compare Europe with the US

I have no problem with Europe having different policies on this from the US. If Europe wants to have government solve many more problems, that's up to Europe. And people who want to live under that model of government should live in Europe.

The US was supposed to be built on a different model of government, for people who want to live under a different model of government from Europe.

> The US still wrestles with problems that Europe (and much of the rest of the world) has forgotten about - and it does that because it confuses 'freedom' with lack of effective central government.

No, the US wrestles with these problems because we prefer to wrestle with them instead of sweeping them under the rug and hoping that "government" will somehow solve them without we the people having to get involved.

I don't share your rosy view of how well Europe has actually solved the problems, but I don't live in Europe so I am not personally affected. And conversely, those who don't live in the US should not presume to tell me how well the US is doing. I live here and I can judge that for myself.
+1 for it being nuanced, after moving to the south it really was not clear how much this is true. The statue was the embodiment of a heritage / culture. There were bad parts of that culture, but so is there in every culture. However, rarely do we support obliterating other cultures.

I'm going to walk through the logic of the people I've met in the south (not necessarily my own opinions).

The south was under military occupation for years after the civil war. The north sent teachers from the north to "re-educate" the south. Many of the farms were destroyed and unmaintainable due to the war, deaths, famines, and removal of slaves. Many southerners were not allowed to hold office until there was a pardon issued.

They almost had a second civil war in 1877 due to a disputed election - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compromise_of_1877

Part of the compromise on the 1877 disputed election was that they removed "reconstruction".

In many ways, the south felt a genocide was committed. Their culture, society, wealth, etc was taken from them. We can argue it was justice due to them holding slaves or rebelling, but they left the union peacefully in their minds and wanted to be left alone.

Fast forward to today -- the US government has consistently regulated every primary export of the south (intentionally or otherwise). Cotton, alcohol, tobacco, coal, oil, etc have all been systematically regulated. I've witnessed first hand the large swaths of the south that had their communities destroyed by these regulations (most of them). Further, their state governments constantly derided for the last 150 years.

Opioids and obesity are also much more impactful (imo unrelated to the government) in the south the opioid epidemic (which is still raging) completely decimated the communities. The dispensary rates are also WAY higher in former confederate states than anywhere else.

https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/rxrate-maps/index.html

When you combine massive regulation, loss of jobs, obesity, etc it's clear why many southerners look to their heritage when they once had pride in their community, state, country, etc.

At the end of the day, the people of the south have slowly seen their culture collapse over the decades and the melting of the statue was kind of the death of it. The burning of their institutions, melting of their statues, and erasure from the history books.

It was governments who allowed them to do those things in the first place. The fact that governments eventually stepped in to stop them doesn't mean governments solve problems. It means governments create problems--and then sometimes manage to sort of mitigate them.

I'm not changing anything from the perspective of the dumpster diver, which is my point. The rest of the discussion is just you grasping at straws to make a point you're allowed to use what you found anyway you want.

The BBC not valuing them is your interpretation, they're allowed to value them being destroyed and unreleased. If someone "found" the Christine Chubbuck tapes and released them, would that also be fair game?

Who is the person to take responsibility in that case? The leaker or those who couldn't properly (according to you) dispose of the property? You're putting the responsibility on the victim.

You can't demand everyone to understand these thing, how far are you allowed to go? Restoring deleted data on a hard-drive? The intention was obviously to delete the data, but incompetent. The simplest solution is that intellectual property stays with the creator, period.

I want to be clear, I am not trying to discourage others - however, I did try NaNoWriMo because of an aura of "everyone should do this, it's great" from people around me, so I am more just making the gentle point that people shouldn't feel that they "have" to do NaNo, or that there's anything wrong with them if they try and fail.

If it does work for you, that is, of course, great.

Indeed, NaNoWriMo does - by the very nature of its focus on "pushing yourself to succeed" and positivity in challenge - make it hard to talk about not succeeding. (And I am pretty sure that attitude didn't help my own interactions with it.)

In the US there are few scenarios where there is an employment contract. The vast majority of employment is "at will"; an employee can quit (or be terminated) at any time for any reason, so long as it is not expressly forbidden by law (e.g. firing someone for race, sexual orientation, age, etc). In particular, at-will employees are not guilty of breach of contract for working multiple jobs - there is no contract

Why is it too late? Changing it in a later version of the standard wouldn't be a further constraint on any written code; any code which is currently correct will remain correct, and some code which could have done literally anything will now only be able to have one of a few possible behaviours.

In absolute numbers, college is still 100% a good deal, provided you have some kind of scholarship or go to an in-state institution. The problem is that some of these places (and I hate to be that guy), especially small elite liberal arts colleges, seem to exist these days to basically drown young people in debt while they get into a job they could have had with the same English degree from the dependable community college + state school combo. We really need to look at the morality of allowing young adults access to an essentially unrestricted credit line.

I never made anything like that claim. Nor was I making any comment about the utility of something like crates.io.

I certainly wouldn't claim that devs reporting the opposite experience from mine are wrong. It's just that the difference is stark, and I was curious as to why.
While anything's possible, the trend of recent eruptions in the Reykjanes peninsula have been more of the slow trickling small kind.
