A large part of it was public awareness of the health risks and relatead damage to the image of smoking as cool and classy.

Now, the proportion of people who still take up smoking today do so in spite of all this, which is probably down to them having various specific user profiles that are unaffected by this (IE they live in communities/work jobs where its ubiquitous or are huge James Dean fans).

For gambling, you could possibly go a long way with awareness and labelling, but I think an issue is that gambling is a lot less visible than smoking. Nobody can smell that you popped outside to blow your paycheck on tonight's game. Making gambling deeply uncool might make some people not take it up, but most of the existing addicts would likely carry on in secret. They're already commonly hiding their losses from spouses and friends, so what's one more layer of secrecy?

At any rate, what worked for smoking wasn't making smokers quit, but making fewer and fewer kids start doing it, so making it a pain in the ass to place your first bet might help.
> He is not required, but absent an explanation, a jury might think him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

That’s just plainly insane. Absence of proof of innocence is not proof guilt. It’s not even suggestive of proof, let alone proof without a resonable doubt!? That would leave half the country with a death sentence because they don’t have reliable affirmative proof that they didn’t commit this murder. Do you remember where you were on the day the murder happened? If you cannot provide proof, we’ll consider you guilty of murder beyond reasonable doubt.
This is a misunderstanding of the vulnerability. The problem isn't with the print server. It is with the printer discovery mechanism, cups-browsed. That is the service that listens on the entire network, because it's designed so that LAN printers can advertise themselves to your system.
One does not need to know someone personally to assess their character based on their public actions.

A (local) sports club doesn't need to "make ... money". It can get contribution from its members, and subsidy from the local government. Otherwise, your argument would sanction every behavior, even turning schools into strip clubs.
> As I'm surprised your socks/underwear don't cost at least €35 per year, eventually they get holes in them.

I figure holes in socks are heavily dependent on slipper use. I wear slippers 95% of the time indoors, and my regular-rotation socks that I wear every couple weeks seem to be lasting 15-20 years (so, say, 200-250 days/washes since I wear different socks seasonally) before their elastics fail.

The average is a bit of a weird number... e.g. I buy a couple weeks' worth of underwear at a time, and they last a decade or so. So 9 out of 10 years my cost is $0, but my yearly cost is in the $30 range.

edit: And as noted by another comenter, I hang dry my socks/underwear, which presumably contributes to longevity.

This is the entire gambling industry! Do you think they don't know that their best customers are addicts who are blowing their kids' college fund?

I agree; I meant that we need to rationally assess what outcomes are more likely and plan according to that, not treat every outcome as equally likely.

And not only plan, as if we are passive victims of history, but make it happen - invest in NATO, etc.
Unless you need printer discovery, you should probably shut down and remove cups-browsed entirely. Its whole purpose is to listen on the LAN to discover printers (or attackers) that advertise themselves to it.
I still won’t touch any Facebook tech with a 10 foot pole.
Aside from some especially uncompetitive seasons, driver skill has evidently always been a factor. The gap between Max and Checo has shown the importance of driver skill during the recent RedBull dominance, and during the Mercedes hybrid dominance, the gap between Hamilton and Bottas showed the same thing. Mercedes > RedBull > Mercedes was an incredibly common podium during that era. With Bottas and Checo are also both great drivers in their own right.

The only confounder is really that the top teams have the ability to attract the top driving talent, so it can look like driving skill matters less than it actually does at times.
No money flows from mozorg to mozcorp (the non profit can't give money to the for profit), and mozcorp develops Firefox.

Mozorg is supposed to do advocacy, but it seems MYOB is better at it than Mozilla, and more effective too.
It's a strong sign of our overall civilizational inadequacy that betting on events where the discovered probability would actually be useful--like economic policy outcomes, natural disaster frequency and magnitude, etc.--is still illegal, while bets with no positive externalities are fair game.
The sports clubs that depend on pokies also cease to exist - they become pokies venues that also have a sporting arm. They begin to drain the community instead of contributing back to them.

They’re able to use pokies profits to subsidise cheaper food and alcohol to bring in customers, and in turn get them to pump a money into the pokies, while starving other venues of those customers who can’t compete on price.
I was under the impression that Swift was more in the Go/C# bucket rather than Rust/C++ in terms of performance.
I have one of these (I was in batch 1), and it's a really neat little play console. The quality of the physical device is really good IMO, and the operating system has a lot of flare and generally fun to use.

I don't think they have the same problems with manufacturing anymore, but when I ordered mine it took over a year for it to arrive (bought 29 July 2021, received 6 September 2022); something about their batteries not being good back then.

However, I rarely end up playing with it, and more often than not when I want to use it, it's already been so long since last time it has no battery charge.

But I don't regret getting it – every time I do open it it's fun, and it's a really cute device :)

Words and Phrases That Make It Obvious You Used ChatGPT
How can you shut down something that can multiply into data centers in different countries around the world?

I'm not sure you realize this, but computers control everything. A dumb bug shut down windows computers around the world a month ago. A smart AI could potentially rewrite every piece of software and lock us out of everything.

Those medicines your friends and family need to stay alive? Yea the factories that produce them only work if you do what the AI says.
Indeed. Expensive in terms of money it already is, and it's not effective.
China can't bomb American production unless we suffer absolutely catastrophic, unimaginable, WW3-escalatory levels of naval losses in the Pacific (because Chinese bombers from the Chinese mainland don't have the range to reach the American mainland).
This is, if anything, the opposite. "I got mine" is when people pull the ladder up after them, e.g. going to the government to pass rules restricting housing construction after they've bought a house and are now interested in raising housing prices through scarcity rather than housing affordability, or the AARP securing healthcare subsidies for affluent retirees by taxing the working poor.

It's not obvious how the notion is even relevant to sports betting. The analogous thing would be if some group had made a lot of money betting on sports and then wants to stop anyone else from doing it, but making a lot of money from gambling is not the common case and the libertarian position wouldn't be to stop anybody from doing it regardless.
ChatGPT had no problems with the kwestion.

Well then what is inflation?

Not everything is infinite like software. The largest sources of inflation are caused by things that have a human limitation. ie. things that need to have a human in the loop.

And lets not forget the many sources of suppressed inflation. That iPhone is its current price because we rely on low paid Chinese workers and factories destroying their local environment to produce that phone. Once that goes away (some are saying this is China's last decade of free trade) then we will see the real cost of these things.

Jones in the Fast Lane – play online (1991)
This, along with innumerable other things like lifting the ban on usurious interest rates, is ultimately a consequence of the same phenomenon Nietzsche describes as “the death of God.”

We have forgotten the deeper reasons that certain things were prohibited or discouraged, assuming that these rules were only there because of a belief in a religion society doesn’t follow anymore. That was a naive view and it turns out that many “old” rules are actually pragmatic social codes disguised as beliefs. This isn’t limited to a particular tradition, either: pretty much every major religion has frowned upon things like gambling.

And so in the absence of any real coherent philosophy that aims to deal with complex problems like gambling, addiction, or excessive interest rates, you’re only going to get an expansion of what is already dominant: markets.

Don’t expect this to change until knowledge of ethics and philosophy becomes widespread enough to establish a new mental model for thinking about these issues.
While everything you wrote I agree with, I’m not sure I arrived to the same conclusion. Alcohol, cigarettes, workaholics, social media apps all ruin the lives of the weak and those around them. Should we make them all illegal?
The problem isn't CUPS itself, which is not made to listen on all interfaces by default. The problem is the printer discovery service, cups-browsed, which listens for any printer on the LAN (or any attacker anywhere) that advertises itself to it and automatically registers that printer in your system.

Whether it's a good idea to have a service like this is highly debatable, but if it is added, it has to listen to all requests from anywhere (and the firewall port for it has to be open), otherwise it's entirely useless.

I think this used to be the case in (most of) Australia (it's still government run in Western Australia but that will change - they've already tried twice to privatise it but the first time was derailed by the pandemic and the second time no one was offering enough money).

I think privatisation happened quite a while ago (mid to late 1990s) but my vague memory is that there was some sort of deregulation in the mid 2000s (or at least that's when I remember the ads becoming incessant) and that seems to have coincided with the endless offers of bonus bets, deposit matches, bet returns etc.

Should we take from the most vulnerable in society in order to prop up these clubs? Its not rich people dumping all their money into the pokies, its retirees and people who are broke from gambling addictions getting into debt
You have a bit of a point: things that are fun are much more addictive than things that are hard or boring. And vice versa: addiction makes people believe it is fun. An addict will accept any kind of rationalization before giving up the addiction.

That doesn't mean it should be allowed. Not all fun is healthy. It's been known for over a century that gambling is detrimental, to both society and individual.
I have upvoted you for each comment you've made, but I feel like it's not that simple. Even just getting a single vendor to implement it is a huge undertaking. I know that you and I see the value in it, but I don't feel like we're the first to see that. There's a reason behind not implementing this feature, and it's the complexity that lies behind such a feature, like most things. This seems like one of those recursive and interactive features that don't fit into SQL. Does it present the rows that will be updated or deleted, and then ask if you wish to perform the operation? That doesn't work like anything SQL based, and I feel that's why we don't have it. I appreciate the back and forth on this, and am curious as to how you think it should be handled, if there's a way to fit in the way SQL works.

Sure, but that is equivalent to removing the vulnerable service entirely and the features it was offering. Listening on port 631 for connections from any machine is the entire purpose of cups-browsed, it's the only way to do automatic printer discovery. If we think the port should be closed, then Ubuntu and the other distros should also remove this service, at least from the default installations.
It would be better to track shoe (and sock) use with a pedometer.
I understand your fascination with barefoot training, but it is a bit extremist. I too have tried VFFs and other barefoot shoes (I competed in a deadlift competition once, wearing merrell minumus), and do a lot of gym stuff without shoes, and there are pros and cons to the approach.

If there's one thing barefoot running does emphasis though, is improvements in foot strike. If you can carry that over to more cushioned shoes I believe that to be a win-win, versus a dogmatic view of barefoot or nothing.
I'm talking about why trigraphs had to behave in such way, not how. C and C++ have a concept of source character set and execution character set, which can diverge. Let's say trigraphs are indeed for unrepresentable characters, then in which character set are them unrepresentable? If the answer is for source, alternative spelling is sufficient and comments should ideally have no effect or users will be confused. If the answer is for execution, why do other characters have no equivalent?

Also you should be aware that the macro expansion in C/C++ is not like a literal string replacement. `#define FOO bar` doesn't turn `BAREFOOT` into `BAREbarT` or `"OH FOO'S SAKE"` into `"OH bar's SAKE"`. (Some extremely old preprocessors did do so, by the way.) `#define FOO(x) FOO(x)` doesn't make `FOO(bar)` into an infinite recursion because `FOO` is prevented from expansion when `FOO` itself is being already expanded. There are certainly some layers, but they are not what you seem to think.

In my experience five 100-line diffs get reviewed much faster than one 500-line diff.

Especially when you follow best practices like splitting refactors from functional work; the canonical stacked diff for me is “refactor to make the upcoming change easy; add some tests for the existing functionality I want to protect; small diff to actually make the change”.

1 & 2 don’t generally require caffeine to review. 3 probably requires engaging the brain. If you put everything together you need to be on high alert for the whole review.
What are usurious interest rates? Is some amount of interest ok?
The tone of that comment does sound a bit "dick-ish", but I can't be totally sure without knowing his history with that CEO. Thanks and I'll keep an eye out for more evidence like this. In videos he seems pretty nice to me, although it could of course be a facade.
> Huh. What do you mean by “sake of sport”…? Like, to see who’s the strongest?

Okay, sure, let's say there is a "who's the strongest competition". Let's be more specific and say it is a professional arm wrestling competition. One where we find that the competitors are able to hold position for hours on end, which makes for really boring viewership. To combat that, the league starts allowing tickling in an effort to get a participant to fold sooner, and perhaps adding an additional comedic element that makes it more entertaining in general.

If you hold sport as some kind of purity that needs to be upheld (again, I maintain that is a nonsensical take, but bear with me) then the addition of tickling ruins it. Indeed, tickling is contrived, but professional sports are filled with all kinds of similar adjustments to make watching the sport more entertaining. The sports, from this "purity" point of view, were ruined from the get go as a necessity to get people interested in watching them – and thus a willingness to pay.

> No one cares that WWE is rigged

Exactly. I mean, a lot of people were upset when it came out that the, then WWF, was choreographed, and I'm sure that they lost of a lot of viewers over it, but the league has still managed to entertain a wide audience. Like you suggest, it doesn't really matter if a sport isn't held to some kind of purity of sport standard.

And it is pretty clear that sports gambling has brought out a new audience of people who are entertained by the gambling aspect. "My entertainment is better than your entertainment" is not a logical position. Something not to your personal preference is not a ruining.

I'm aware that it's expensive but the alternative is pretty horrific.

A person that goes about assaulting people is a significant drain on society. It's not even just monetary, it ruins trust, it ruins the relations between the people who aren't antisocial. It also has the moral hazard effect of increasing the number of others that see that this behaviour ultimately goes unpunished.

As far as I'm concerned, there are very few legitimate reasons to raise taxes, but police and prisons are one of them, they are not problems that individuals can solve in the private sector.
