If you can’t trust the government, the friction is irrelevant. They just generate a different primary key and don’t give it to you. Evil adversaries don’t play by rules. You’re just harming yourself in the good times and not helping yourself in the bad times. It's not like a government who wants to do real harm to individuals is just going to go whelp, no national ID, I guess we'll just go home and not hurt anyone.

If I were a hypothetical evil US government and there wasn't an SSN, I'd just create a database with an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, compel Visa, MasterCard and American Express to send me 6 months of transaction history under a national security letter, correlate and quantize them all and presto, a few hours later, indexing complete.

A better framing might be “we need to enact these rights and then continue to protect them against erosion over time”.

Aside from being about 1/80th the size of the US, and far less obese, their "scale" of obesity is far lower. I had a super-super morbidly obese teacher in college who took up an entire table, and had students do anything for her that required movement. This is relatively common in the US. Once you're at the weight a routine trip to the doctor could have you leaving in a body bag. It's incredibly misleading, and frankly a miracle our health care system can even keep most of these people alive as long as they do, let alone through pregnancy, which is effectively a surgery.

I use that in so many scripts on my main machines and would love to share them with macOS folks. I'm really surprised its not in something like Alfred.

The, IMO, logical solution would be to change the underlying problem. Maybe even through some "national emergency". Force the food industry to change, help people to make healthy decisions, punish/rewards etc. But no: let's put everyone on medication.

I could imagine the latter to be a legitimate option if a country's people have some genetic trait that makes obesity harder to fight. But I don't believe that's the case in the US.

> What have they been eating on that island

One theory:

- Their original food culture was wiped by colonialism
- Now they rely on imported foods without regard for its composition

Phrased differently:

It is easier for imported foods to beat existing options, because the island culture does not preserve attractive options so well. And it is easy for imported foods to be unhealthy.

> ... Pacific islanders are more prone to obesity than people in other nations. Now a new study led by the University of Oxford has examined why islanders on Nauru and in the Cook Islands in the Pacific have the highest levels and fastest rates of obesity increase in the world. On both the islands, between 1980 and 2008 the increase in the average body mass index was four times higher than the global average. The paper, published in the journal Public Health Nutrition, provides a novel theory for why obesity levels are so high there. It suggests that social changes, introduced when the islands were under colonial rule, have significantly contributed to unhealthy dietary habits.

> Please clearly define the meaning of “you” in your simple law.

"no company shall have more than 30% market share in any market, any that does shall be broken into no fewer than twelve independent pieces."

It doesn't contain the word "you".

> Okay, I don’t own 50% of the market—my company does.

Then your company would be violating the law. "Company" means a set of entities that share a common ownership.

> what defines a “market”?

A set of products or services that serve as fungible substitutes for one another.

> What does “broken” mean here?

It means they no longer share common ownership. This is also what independent means.

> I agree with the spirit of your comment otherwise, but simple laws rapidly become complex laws because people are complicated and language is flawed.

But all of those things are just their ordinary meaning. Writing them down would make the law more explicit but it doesn't make it any more complicated. The definitions aren't each a separate set of criteria that have to be complied with separately, they're just a clarification to reduce possible ambiguity.

In particular, what you're doing is resolving edge cases. But the basic law has already addressed 99% of cases, because they're not ambiguous. An independent restaurant in a major city does not have >30% market share for food because there are many, many competitors. Microsoft has >30% market share for desktop operating systems because Microsoft has ~70% market share for desktop operating systems.

And we have to distinguish between two things here. One is, you see the word "company" and the dictionary says one of the meanings is a military unit, and then Microsoft claims that they aren't a company because they aren't a military unit. But if something has two meanings and one of them doesn't make sense in context, that's not the intended meaning. Using the "spirit of the law" for this kind of resolution is inherently necessary.

The other is, the law isn't ambiguous, but the unambiguous result is undesirable and the only way for a judge to fix it is to disregard the text and make something up. They shouldn't do this.

Then you mustn’t have much experience working with the drivers those multi million dollar companies were (and still are) shipping to customers. They are full of bugs, quirks and performance traps. Vulkan wasn’t created because of some theoretical future problem, Vulkan was born from the real struggle of developers at the time. Problems were still struggling now.

We don’t need to speculate whether hardware vendors can ship bullet proof drivers and API implementations, they have already proven they can’t. Vulkan was built based on industry experience from organisations big enough to sit at the Khronos table. They were trying to give the vendors as little rope to hang themselves on by reducing the complexity of driver implementation because these stakeholders (large AAA studios) were collectively expending massive resources working around vendors inability to ship good quality drivers. This problem is still ongoing even with Vulkan.

Vulkan drivers on Android are a complete joke. They barely work and I’m debugging and working around a new driver bug or performance trap every few weeks at this rate. If we can’t rely on quality Vulkan drivers, an API designed to make drivers easier to implement, how will vendors fare with a much more complex to implement API like OpenGL? (poorly, look up the history of OpenGLES3).

Desktop PC is the exception because it’s the only GPU market where hardware vendors have real market pressure to deliver working drivers. Just look at Intel’s Arc launch, a product where it’s single biggest criticism and flaw citied universally is driver issues. There is no other market where this same pressure has been applied. Nobody bought a phone specifically because it had “good GPU drivers”. Unless the hardware market a vendor is selling to cares garbage drivers are the default. Qualcomm and Arm provide more than enough proof for that.

> OpenGL was never "easy" but it was at least something a regular person could learn the basics of in a fairly short amount of time.

The problem is that OpenGL no longer matches current hardware so the naive way to use it is very much suboptimal for performance. Once you move to zero driver overhead techniques for OpenGL then Vulkan is not that much harder.

> Like, imagine the newest Intel/ARM/AMD chips came along and instead of being able to write C or C++, you're being told "We are dropping support for higher level languages so you can only write assembly on this now and it'll be faster because you have more control!" It would be correctly labeled as ridiculous.

Except current Intel/ARM/AMD chips don't support C or C++ and you already have to write assembly ... or use a third-party tool to do the translation from C or C++ for you. That's also the goal for Vulkan - to provide a low level standard interface for GPUs on top of which more user friendly abstractions can be layered.

I read on HN a pretty convincing essay that if a car-seat was only required while under a year, and a booster while under 2, there would be something like 10% more births in the U.S. every year.

There are always those families (especially among the religious) that would have larger families, with not obvious things that limit them. Knowing nothing about Japan, but living in the U.S. where birthrates are also falling, I would think state effort should be put into this.
The study cited uses OECD data. If the US does not adhere to the OECD guidelines for the data fields, for example by collecting a too broad measure and not correcting for it, studies are going to compare apples to pears.
