Good essay! Shame he doesn’t talk about taboo. Taboo subjects could make for great essays but it takes a lot of guts to write about them. Anything from collapse of your life, work, prison or death threats may ensue. Breaking taboos move society forward though. Keep an eye on “exceptions to free speech”.

You must mean clear cut cases too then. Not self defence etc.

A blameless culture needs to take into account bad actors. You might add more processes for part sovereignty for example. This is what you rely on for safety.

In addition yeah also prosecute criminals. But that doesn’t stop crime. See “war on drugs” for example.

Yeah the Brit drinking culture is quite insane. Aussie has a bit of that but it is much less.

I used to drink a lot more, but now I find it hard to stand. No buzz just the stupification.

And of course drink is very toxic and will set back all your other goals from good sex, to muscles, weight loss and cognitive function.

Effective defence would allow the guilty to go free. (although “guilty” is a jury verdict so that is impossible but I presume you mean would be found guilty had more evidence prevailed). You can’t have an advocate that draws arbitrary lines at which they are not on your side advocating for you, what would those be?

Say someone says to their lawyer they shot the person but really they are covering for their wife even to mthe lawyer. The lawyer then hears them say in court they didn’t shoot (the truth) but the lawyer just knows they are saying something different now to what they said before. It could be that.

Not indignity but inconvenience. It would be like a boss lying to a software engineer about the requirements as they are scared it will cost too much then the wrong thing is built.

Yeah hacker used to not mean someone hacking into a computer and breaking a password, then it did then now it means both that and a tech tinkerer.

Exercise too.

The question is how long. Doing intense stuff needs breaks.

Good answer. A refurb Dell desktop tower or smaller form will get ya 10-20 years service vs. the 5 tops of the laptop (excluding battery and screen for generous comparison because they may fail sooner). Also laptops just seem to do sucky stuff like keyboard randomly stops working. Laptops suck.

The top answer is a very nice explanation. I don’t know Rust but I understand it.

Those are a thing but probably not as bad. You may gain seniority. The second is unavoidable. The last can be dealt with and there are levels of ethics around that.

The folly is the same as the rock star amplifier that “goes to 11” or how gig economy reviews are 5 star = acceptable or better, anything else means dreadful.’It is just a linear transform people have to do in their heads.

So you can use sin(x) for various x to tell what you are running on. Maybe even in the browser?
