Would it be bad if you were the prisoner?

It's not even remotely a tricky problem. It's just a trick, of convincing ourselves it's not our problem when we are the cause.

Either way you're ignoring human nature. The other human nature is the nature of power to corrupt, ignored in reducing the transparency of the judicial and executive processes. I can't think of a single historical or contemporar

Considering that the status quo is currently that literally asking the individual and querying the source of truth to confirm the history of an individual directly for the purpose of discrimination are ubiquitous practices... yes, I think s

> Yep, making it illegal to pay the ransom is a good way to stop people from having that choice. If police themselves are paying a ransom, that might make it hard to make it illegal. Ransoming itself is already illegal and yet people sti

I think you actually have that backwards. You can't ban public mugshots and have a free and open society. If arrests can be secret then there is no executive or judicial oversight. But you can make charged and convicted statuses a pr

The traffic goes through this "new infrastructure" not out of necessity but because it's free and allows the user to pretend like a number of problems don't exist. Terrestrial optical networks operate far, far below capa

or, really, what I mean to say is, there is no way to stop everyone from paying ransoms when we assume they are rational or even pseudo-rational actors, except by making it impossible for them to be presented with the choice of paying a ran

I think the pragmatic current realization of a functional data flow pipeline as described in my earlier reply incidentally achieves exactly what you mention here: > Sure, but even faster is not to loop over intermediate arrays at all, by

I'll try to adhere more closely to the ritual forms of disingenuous presentation and allusion brinksmanship. As an aside, I find your choice of pronoun fascinating and enlightening.

It would be helpful if you could clearly spell out the opinions the rules actually apply to. I've been guessing wrong lately, it seems.

Do you think it's also fair to describe $266,400 as "much larger than" $13,900? Do you think $266,400 will buy a house? Do you think $13,900 will buy a house? I understand that you can divide $266,400 over any interval that&#

The proportion of the population that will pay a ransom with a positive expected valuation will never be 0 unless you can guarantee that it is impossible to make a ransom offer which yields a positive expected valuation to the victim. In ef

Yeah, the economy is going so great we've only had 2 armed uprisings in as many years with 2 orders of magnitude growth in housing cost versus wage growth or housing cost versus population growth while over half of the usable land area

I feel obligated to note that operating a Tor exit node is very much to type.

Surprisingly less true these days. Increasingly things seem to be moving towards ASICs for switching and general purpose CPUs (usually with a lot of support from the NIC offload capabilities) for routing, even in 'real' networking

The funny thing to me, if you think about it, is that nothing really changed, it's just become more transparent. It's for decades, if not arguably always been a bunch of bullshit marketing for meaningless labels slapped on importe

Your statements in the blog about performance of that pattern are not accurate to the best of my knowledge. A program structured as a sequence of short, tight loops over vectors/slices as described is more or less hitting the performan

I don't really know enough about what happened to have an opinion on it, and neither do you, but the media's told you to hate him, so here we are I guess. Moving on, what I actually said, and what I actually meant, was that those

Frankly, being convicted of wire fraud, mail fraud and money laundering might as well be an acquittal. The wire fraud and mail fraud statutes are written to be vague enough that basically existing is a violation, money laundering is existin

So, to be clear, you believe it is axiomatic that one must internalize rape-desire to observe or discuss obvious consequences of sexual reproduction under selective pressure?

It's interesting that the concept of bodily autonomy doesn't extend to the male not wanting his body to engage in a lifetime of forced labor when the female's bodily autonomy extends to carrying an irrational pregnancy to ter

It is not and never has been about equality. The politics of inequality simply provide one the ability to advocate for their interests at the expense of others' while avoiding rational dissent and social stigma.

I have met many people in left and progressive circles who literally advocate for equality in outcomes and dismiss meritocracy as various internalized not-giving-them-what-they-wantisms.
