"tiny, automated combines"

I've seriously wanted to explore this for a long time. When current combine technology can cost well into the half million dollar range, it seems ripe for disruption. Chicago is out of my way (and I already own farmland of my own anyway) – its capital costs that have held me back. But if anyone actually takes on this project, I'll be watching very closely.
The manager of the restaurant should probably learn to be more tolerant, but it's pretty clear on any plausible reading of the U.S. Constitution that he has not violated the First Amendment. It does, after all, start with the words "Congress shall make no law."

But there is an interesting twist. What if the manager tries to kick you out, but you refuse to leave? Then he calls the police and the police drag you out. At least in a certain sense, the government is now enforcing the manager's intolerance. When it comes to the First Amendment, it's pretty clearly established that even on these facts, the First Amendment still has not been violated. But there are other rights where the situation is more complicated. Courts will not enforce, for example, a racially restrictive covenant preventing African Americans from buying property in a certain neighborhood because to do so would violate the Fourteenth Amendment. (See Shelly v. Kreamer, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelley_v._Kraemer) But in many respects, the situations are analogous: the government is asked to enforce individuals' otherwise private biases. It's not at all clear (at least to me, or anyone I know who studies this area of law) what accounts for this difference. Food for thought.

I personally am not against anti-homeschool in principle. However, there are some people that choose homeschool for very bad reasons, usually rooted in certain religious beliefs and fear of exposing children to 'corrupting' ideas. This segment makes up a significant portion of the homeschooling population (or roughly ~40%). Some of my friends went through it. It's not pretty.

The middle ground is not better than extreme viewpoints just because it's easier to get people to accept. A "subtle" argument is not a good thing. Arguments should, ideally, be glaringly obvious.

A statement is either true or false. If you can't decide on one of those two extremes, it means either your statement is ill-formed or your axioms aren't consistent.

This summary of social equality & justice is not something anyone should take seriously. It is a very one-sided, reductive description of the issue. If nothing else, this comment is a good example of the siege mentality on display in folk of a conservative bent: long on cynical rhetoric about "those people" and politicians while short on nuance or compassion for fellow human beings.

Long story short, some people question the idea that people who are successful deserve what they have merely because they have it, and that those who do are unsuccessful deserve to be poor because, in a word, they're meritless. Furthermore, some people want society at large to acknowledge the role chance and circumstance play in whether or not someone is successful.

Your last complaint is so old it's a cliche.
"After my initial worries that he'd do something crazy"

As I think back on my experiences of surviving crazy driving, it was never "just drivin' around and suddenly doing something dumb" it was always bad judgment usually under pressure. So there is freezing rain forecast but I really want to play video games with my friend. My dad is going to kill me if I get home late again. Its a completely empty and abandoned road in great weather conditions... what could possibly go wrong? I've never driven in over six inches of snow, but everyone else on the road does it all the time, so how hard can it possibly be? I'm sleepy but the sooner I get home the sooner I'll get to sleep, so go for it. I'm not really drunk I don't even feel a buzz and haven't had a drop in two hours.

I most certainly did not get into accidents in every story above, mostly thru dumb luck. They all do have a common thread of later on, looking back, even dumb teen me was asking myself WTF I was thinking when I made those decisions.

Its not entirely different than teen experience with romantic relationships and even to some extent friend relationships. Oh and drugs and alcohol too. And finances.

Lack of patience seems to be the root of all evil, with me when I was a teen and in other teens I saw. Can't teach wisdom or judgment, but you can teach patience.

I think it comes down to if your company has strong enough technical leadership to retain an ocaml engineering team. If there is dissonance between how engineering thinks about the business and how the leadership thinks about the business, you'll not reap the benefits of ocaml and the team will leave. In practice I think this means the founding team has to have an ocaml expert for ocaml to work (or any other not-mainstream tech choice). You can't just hire one and hope for the best.
Thanks for the bug report! I'll relay it to the proper engineer.
With respect to relicensing, I assume that depends on a country's specific copyright laws. Ordinarily this license is as close to the public domain as you can be while still still having a license. So the protections against re-licensing are similar to protections for works placed in the public domain. For example you can't relicense Bach's works and then sue people for playing those works. So the burden is on the relicensor to show that their license supercedes the WTFPL. Unfortunately, the specifics of how this burden is handled in a court as well as treatment of the public domain in general are per-country (and sometimes subject to international agreements). Likewise with warranty, different countries will have different treatments.

What I don't quite get is why at this point you wouldn't simply place a work into the public domain or use creative commons or whatever. Maybe that is because different countries have different interpretations of "public domain."

I never actually said that was the best response to bullying, just one possible response. It's what worked for me, and I think it can work for others as well. Sometimes breaking a bully's nose will make them leave you alone, sometimes it will just escalate the problem.

I think it's unwise to universally swear off any tactic when dealing with an oppressive situation, from simple bullying to an authoritarian government. You have to determine on a situational basis which tactics are going to be most effective, and then follow through with them.
I don't know, where you live. But I guess, that you live in a country, where critics of the capitalistic system does not appear in the media.

I don't care, what the world bank says. It is statistics. For example: How do they define "poverty"? By manipulating the definitions, I can prove anything to you.

It is a fact (and in my country, you can see it in the media), that in the developed countries, the rich got far much richer than the other people got.

That maybe some people in lower developed countries are better of now (by the statistics), might be, but their income is so low, that they do not really count against the growth in income in the other countries.

Please, don't tell me about the world bank. I don't trust organisations, that are installed for one main reason: To sell capitalism to the world.

The numbers from independent researchers are different. Read the book from Piketty:
http://www.amazon.de/Capital-Twenty-First-Century-Thomas-Pik...

Of course, if you read the right (right-wing) media, they will try to discredit it, but I did not yet read any plausible critic -- only wild tries to protect capitalism from any thinking.
One cool related topic is how much agricultural automation gear costs. For a robo project we used a trimble GPS with sub-meter resolution that cost around 2k, but honestly I feel like with a local radio base-station and a gps you could probably come up with something similarly accurate and cheap for way less money! I'm sure when it comes to controlling the combines automatically, it gets even more exorbitant.

Because I can walk through a strict program in my head (or on paper), and see every value, what is being calculated, and what is being stored. With a lazy language, I can't necessarily do that. The entire memory of my program can quickly fill up with thunks. The optimizer determines when things actually get calculated, and I need a much deeper understanding of my code to figure out the space constraints.

Just writing code? I guess I can agree that lazy evaluation makes it easier, but performance still needs to be considered.
I've always had the idea of growing sugarbeet on a conveyor belt. It would take 100-120 days to get from one end to another. You plant a seed with dirt at the start and a sugarbeet rolls off the end after the grow time. You filter out the sugarbeet from the dirt when it falls off (sieve).

The conveyor would be fully solar powered and it's power requirements would not be very much due to the slow progression.

Once you have the sugarbeet, you turn it in to ethanol, hopefully with another automated process.

There must be some ulterior motive behind why someone would want to entice people into routing their DMARC reports through a filtering service with promises of filtering into "beautiful, human-readable weekly email digests".

DMARC reports generated in response to spam go to the domain owner's reporting address, leaving the spammer in the dark as to what rules are being applied. It's not hard to imagine that access to these reports could be somehow useful to spammers.

Also note how the reports are turned into weekly digests; this means that reports generated by illegitimate e-mails which spoof your domain won't be seen by your eyes for as long as seven days, concealing days of malicious activity.

I think I will take my DMARC reports unfiltered, thanks.

> Really? I imagine you'd be rather annoyed if I forced my way into your home to express my views to the contrary, or even serenaded you with my opinions from beneath your bedroom window.

If you did, the crime wouldn't be you speaking your mind... it'd be the breaking and entering.

And if you want to serenade me without trespassing, as annoying as that might be I don't see how I could stop you. By that, I mean I don't see how I could ethically petition the government to make you stop (even if they'd do this).

> It's easy to be absolutist about free speech if you don't anticipate being the object's of a mob's hatred.

It's not the speech that would bother me, but the pitchforks.

People who say things like you have just said seem to be implying some sort of sociological theory that remains unspoken:

That (some) speech is capable of manipulating other people to do things they might not otherwise do.

Now, this isn't particularly controversial, and I don't think I'd dispute it (I might remain skeptical, but silently so).

If that theory is true, then is the person who manipulates through communication the criminal, or is it the people who are manipulated into crime? I contend that the latter are wholly culpable.
I'm not eloquent today either, because I have pressing work matters to attend to, but to keep this in context, I'm very glad that the freedom fighters in Taiwan were careful NOT to be collaborators with the regime or any of the agents of the Communist Party of China.

Do you really think that the new software components are that revolutionary? At best, they're an evolution of older ideas, and an experienced programmers understands the reasons for that evolution. At their worst, they're a re-implementation of old ideas that have failed, only their implementors didn't have enough experience to know that.

Yes, I never thought of that way. I remember once feeling a moment of confusion IRL:

>Violence is never profitable unless somebody else pays for it

Well yeah, your victims pay for it. My point is that there's no inherent incentive for a private entity capable of violent coercion to use it for the benefit of anyone but itself. A truly democratic government has an incentive to use it to benefit at least a majority of people.

>I think this principle of majority is rather insane.

It's not perfect, but I think it's the only way we can make fair decisions about how to share limited resources.

In theory Capitalism distributes the most to those who provide the most, which sounds great. In practice those with more resources are more able to provide utility in future, so the distribution ends up being very unequal.

(EDIT: One solution might be a free market + enforced wealth redistribution at a rate based on the level of inequality. I think this would actually be much better at encouraging people to actually produce new utility constantly, instead of rent-seeking.)

>A simple test: if tomorrow the majority decided to shoot all redheads, if you followed your principle, you'd have to agree.

And you think a society that would pass such a vote would be any kinder in a free market? If a majority of people actively want redheads to be killed, then your supposed protection agencies would be happy to oblige.

And even without violence, the majority needs only to deny them work and they would starve to death, or at best live in ghettos.

> When you say "some freedoms should be guaranteed" you probably mean "some services", which is different.

No, my whole point is that access to services is a form of freedom. The freedom to eat. The freedom to learn. The freedom to be healed. If these things are contingent on labour, then they are lesser freedoms.

In a world with limited resources, some freedoms will always be curtailed. The question is which ones are the most important? I think the freedom to eat is more important than the freedom to decide how a portion of the utility you provide is shared.

There is quite a bit of expectation of due process in general; the exceptions are notable because, well, they are exceptions. I'll grant the case of Guantanamo prisoners as heinous violations of the rule of law, but I consider it a huge stretch to suggest that Assange would - if extradited to the US - face either treason charges (for reasons already discussed) or indefinite detention without due process. Whatever you may think of the US policies of indefinite detention, he doesn't fit the profile for those who would qualify.

He would, no doubt, be given a lengthy federal trial, likely found guilty and serve Federal prison time, while receiving moral and legal aid from many corners, particularly organizations concerned with civil rights, whistleblowing, and journalism. His conviction might even be eventually overturned.

Indefinite detention works (in that it has not been stopped) because those who are imprisoned without due process have few mainstream defenders - plenty of people object to the methods, but are ho-hum on the actual people involved. Assange's detention without due process would be a political nightmare for the administration at very least.
