Most people in prison have not killed another person, or even committed physical violence against another person. Many used to be those kids who grew up without a good safety net or family life, or adults who became homeless or addicted to drugs.

> having children is the most environmentally destructive action you can possibly take

I find the argument a little facile, because in that framework there is actually an even greater environmentally-destructive action... Deciding not to commit suicide.
I don't understand, what hardware limit?
If something is time consuming, not very important, and accuracy doesn’t matter, perhaps the correct answer is to not do it. The world is already full of irrelevant inaccurate drivel and we’d do well to have less, not accelerate its production.

This is not a comment on your specific example, but on the idea as a whole.
None of these quotes has anything to do with what I posted.

Normal, productive people will not sign off on their money being redistributed to unproductive people unless those people have a good reason for being unproductive. Therefore, even if such policies (welfare without means testing) are a utilitarian good, they are not politically feasible.
There's only one place in the world where Manchin and Sanders would be in the same political party.
I guess whatever works. I think the LTSC version of 11 that is coming out later this year should have the bare minimum. I have yet to test it. But yeah, I understand why you choose to stick with 7.
Murderers and rapists are convenient boogeymen when arguing against prison reform, but the reality is that the vast majority of first-time offenders are in there for relatively minor crimes (mostly drug related), and simply being in the system is what propels them deeper into that life because of how limited their options become.
I would personally look into whether there is any confounding factors, the one I'm thinking of is whether some prisoners are not eligible for the program due to the nature of their crime or recidivism.
Wait, they explicitly allowed to use cards for blockchain and prohibited for anything else?
Man I would change your font, that is super difficult to read as large blocks of text.
Here's something I've noticed recently is that people on different sides of the issue usually end up talking past each other.

I'll start by pointing out I feel that the prison system is incredibly in humane and we need serious prison reform to a large degree. But I think there needs to be some understanding that there isn't a one size fits all solution, on one end you have a kid of a crack addict who gets in with the wrong crowd and ends up getting busted for being involved in an armed robbery because his buddy asked for "help" with something. Is the proper solution to throw the book at this kid and put him away for 20-30 years? Probably not.

On the flip side you have serial killers like Ted Bundy or the BTK killer, those people don't need rehabilitation they're simply monsters and deviants that need to be removed from society forever.

Any discussion that fails to acknowledge both of these groups exist is probabaly fallacious.
> mail from my work Google Workspace that I sent to my own personal Gmail

Does your company do outbound marketing/sales?

I've seen multiple companies spin up outbound email marketing campaigns where someone compiles a list of 5000 email addresses based on certain demographics, and then send automated emails (that look not automated) over the course of a month, rinse, repeat. Google Workspace will let you do this, but if you're too aggressive with email volume it can kill the reputation, and therefore deliverability of any email from that domain.

(Which is why most companies send outbound sales emails from a domain other than their primary domain to separate out the sending domain reputation)
Yeah, but what do you retrain to? I can't think of any industry that isn't being threatened with massive automation.
>Incredibly, people can walk and chew gum at the same time. This includes the ability to refocus their attention when they experience unusual events.

No. They can't. That 'refocus' you mention is proof of that.

it's getting old having to say over and over again that this isn't actually the case : humans switch contexts and lose focus -- you're not as good at multi-tasking as you think, nor is anyone.

So , people can walk OR chew bubble gum , and if these choose to they can pay contextual switching costs between the two to make outside spectators believe that they can do two things at once.

Don't fall for the ruse, there is a cost even if it's a small one.

Similarly, in a disaster i'd rather be surrounded by fit young soldiers without cell-phones -- alert and aware -- than I would be surrounded by the typical multi-variant airliner crowd that must have their attention drug away from the device by the sound of crunching metal.

It's obvious to me that a group of alert and ready people will outperform 'the other group' in an escape in nearly every metric, i'd hope that the same would be obvious to the other humans trying to escape fiery wreckage alongside me.

> Even before the Internet existed, there was something else someone might have done, which is to send you an anonymous note reading "fuck you". No argument, no way to reply, nothing but a cheap gratuitous offense that serves no purpose other than upset the person who receives it. I argue that downvoting a comment you don't like is equivalent to that.

A better equivalent would be arguing from an anonymous throwaway account (*cough*), where any replies go into the void, rather than to an established community member.

A comment either adds value in people's opinion, or it detracts, or neither. The society that is HN has a voting system to communicate that info, because that is what we prefer.

If people find the non-meta substance of a post interesting enough to reply, they absolutely will do so. But we have the guidelines recommending against moderation meta-discussion because you and the moderation of your comment aren't the topic, and you shouldn't try to make it the topic, because we find that to be more boring than the actual topic. Maybe you find yourself more interesting, or you think conversation is boring unless it includes moderation meta-discussion. In most cases, I don't think others agree (hence the guidelines and the voting).

You can call our society an "in-group", you can call someone who ignores what society wants an "out group member", but in the end, I don't know why it surprises people that society responds with feedback (though perhaps not in the exact feedback format one may personally prefer).

What you’ve described isn’t a “personal code” it’s a desire for vengeance. I mean? You do you, but I reckon that seeking to hurt over seeking to rehabilitate hurts us more than it hurts the offender.

I’m not a big fan acquiesce whenever the state says “bend over” but that’s not what choosing to view them as people is doing. The state wants us to fear and loathe our fellow man. When you talk about “giving them what they deserve” you play right into their hands.

Hurt people hurt people, or something like that, so I don’t think hurting them harder is going to make them hurt less hard.

Scientists started warning us decades ago that human activities, leading to rising levels of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere, would enhance the natural "greenhouse effect" and lead to potentially dangerous global heating. Climate Chess helps explore the question of why the world has so obviously failed to act on scientists' warnings. It also suggests a more productive path forward.

Antenna quality is unlikely to be a significant factor in audio quality if the stations are actually somewhat close to the airport. The difference between a very good and very poor antenna is maybe 5-7 dB in the VHF airband, which shouldnt noticeably degrade quality unless you are already at the margins of signal availability. Antenna location is going to make a much, much bigger difference.

A lot of the annoyance in SV for this being a "myth" is it easily turns into "the myth of individual achievement." That is, folks see it as an argument to show why individuals are not worthy of the praise they may or may not get.

I think it is very fair to argue against the idea that there are perfect meritocracies. But... there are few perfect anythings? To what end does that argument go?

Put differently, the dream of a meritocracy is far more appealing as an ideal than the vast majority of ideas that have been competed with it.

To directly address the rhetoric of the article. The concern at the end of "It will be no small task to right this ship, and to refit it to more closely resemble the vessel of opportunity we aspire to." But, the entire point of the success of the US system is that we do, in fact, have the best chance at getting to this ideal over anyone else. And we have had our best successes not be replacing older ways, but by incorporating them into what we try next.

We more closely resemble that aspiration today than we ever have in the past. And yet we have far more calls for ceasing our progress in the name of past mistakes than ever in our past, too. This could be fine, as we also have far more capability today than ever in the past. But it is tiresome to hear wave after wave of why the successes we have, are somehow not actually successes at all.
I mean not to argue against your point, but Federal prisoners are generally not going to have committed violent crimes as those kind of crimes are the purview of the state and lead to state incarceration not federal.

IMO what is disingenuous is that the vast majority of prisoners belong in the first category, but when discussing any kind of reform the standard argument used is "but we can't let the Ted Bundys out!" and that kills all further progress.

> I'd much rather spend that on kids growing up.

I think you're right that this would have a larger impact in the long run (and be more humane, to boot - avoid the trauma in the first place), but it's a long-term investment, and it needs to also be combined with policies that lower crime in the short term as well. Voters (hell, people) feel crime as a safety threat and don't tend to respond to feeling unsafe by supporting plans with 20-year payoffs, so if you want your 20 year plan to stay in effect, you need to show shorter-term benefits, too.

It might sound silly but I've found it to work quite well for me: I store the (rather coarse) data on these exercise activities in my Google calendar.

I also do some more fine-grained analyses (e.g. looking at heart rates) via Garmin and Strava but for cross-discipline comparisons I mostly rely on my calendar entries.

I've found the calendar to be extremely reliable -- knock on wood -- over long time horizons (I have exercise data going back to 2016). Also, it's very flexible. I store additional metadata, e.g. the distance of a run, in the event description.

At some point I explained this a bit more in this post: https://kevinkle.in/posts/2018-10-21-running-log/
> ...long on punishment and short on compassion...

matter of perspective, friend. short consequences for the guilty party may mean long consequences for the innocent.

moreover - and i don't think you meant it this way, but - "punishment" is a different word than "rehabilitation". the confusion between the two is a symptom of the bigger confusion over what law, order, justice, etc mean at a social level... and now we are back at the "ideologue" level, where statistically meaningful datapoints may indicate any number of different things. in other words, ideas have consequences. i don't trust anyone who isn't at the "ideologue" level in these sorts of conversations.
