On the contrary I would say. Animal welfare laws explicitly exclude farm animals, while animal scientific research at least requires an ethics panel review, etc. The types of farms in the US that house many many animals, and hence end up in the majority of the meat supply, often have a truly dire existence before death.

Type confusion bugs exist in Rust programs too, the language does not eliminate all such issues (though it does help somewhat). I think it would be more prudent to wait until we have details before getting on the soapbox.

Realizing I didn't quite answer your question about types of programs then and now. In the Q&A, they do discuss what types of (Fortran only) programs were measured in the study, and there is some speculation, but unfortunately the documentary record wasn't particularly solid.

But TaskSlinger is not.

He did middleware at RAD, home of a lot of good stuff, and worked directly on at least The Witness

I use sway so just made a bash script that's a couple of lines to join cliphist, tofi, wl-copy, wtype, together to the same effect.

Yes, I was considering making the same point, but in fairness to him, the vast majority of the millenial marxists and beyond don't know this either, nor that marxism doesn't mean "no profits or reinvestment or insurances, all value goes to workers".

Exactly, the charge rates for the type of crime he was talking about (stealing from cars) are still incredibly bad, his claims are incredibly suspect.

Is there any evidence or other form of justification for the Flock CEO's claims about how it is responsible for SF's crime downturn? I find it hard to believe that Flock cameras are at the heart of such a wide-ranging effect. I am not a local, and I have only done a cursory search, but I don't see the elected officials making the same claim -- I have seen them say it has more to do with changing socioeconomic factors.

Yes, building a highly reactive automated system upon flawed foundations is bad.

If Flock has so many issues with this database, and all their solutions are patchwork, and those solutions remain local to the jurisdiction that is locally using Flock, then this is a bad product.

If you build a product on a bad database, you cannot load the blame for the resulting bad product on the bad database. If it was not fit for purpose, then the product designers are the problem as much as anything else.

This applies doubly for a product that relies so heavily on automation enabling speedy responses with heavy consequences.

I understand that this may smack of perfect being the enemy of good, but this domain is akin to medical devices in terms of impact.
