The GP's point about internal contradiction remains regardless of the contortions you choose to apply to your definition of "non-violence".

Coordination problems go up in complexity by the square of the number of actors. Since employers meaningfully participating in the labor market average many more than one employee, and employees average somewhere around one employer, emplo

It is in spite of these differences that employers have great leverage, not because of them. It's plain to see that the inherent coordination problems facing workers are much harder than the ones facing managers. It's plain to se

Good point, implied consent does make such a system unworkable.

One thing I've learned over more than 10 years of doing this is how much code actually should be deleted instead of fixed. Thanks for giving me a reliable source of income ;)

Your comment manages to be innacurate and terribly unhelpful at the same time. Good job!

> Borders are wide open. Talk to anybody working in this space and you'll learn this is simply not true. CBP is still chasing people down and turning them away. ICE is still deporting people by the planeful.

We don't need moonshots to solve the car pandemic. Strong Towns and others have shown that we already have plenty of common-sense, effective tools that we've simply chosen not to roll out on a wider basis. We don't need new

I didn't see any bricks in this build. Plenty of Technic beams, though. :)

Agreed, and in the cases where format! isn't up to the task, String::push_str is both easy and explicit.

In the case of a Galois field I think you're always intentionally reaching for the tool, you use it because of those implementation details. Making sure the struct's name clarifies that that's how the arithmetic works is ap

Kudos! I've been successfully applying this pattern in a bunch of places and am happy to report that it is very useful and easy to reason about. It works well in any context where your object access is mediated... Mutex & RwLock, R

In my experience, people who shoot themselves in the foot with a magnetized needle are the same people who will shoot themselves in the foot with any other programming technique. Those who aren't careful enough to only flip the bits th

Your McMaster-Carr link seems to be pretty good evidence that such devices exist. FWIW I'd read c1 as stating that a lockout device need not be resistant to bolt cutters, as that would qualify as "excessive force or unusual techni

Heavy equipment often has a lock through designated holes in the plug. But usually not wall warts.

I frequently go to stores that are open at the convenience of the owner. Often this is out in the country, but there's even one storefront near me in NYC that proudly says, "open by appointment and by luck". You quickly get

You seem to be conflating two related but distinct ideas. On the one hand, the availability of high-quality science-based medical care has been nothing short of a miracle. On the other hand, the hubris shown by doctors (and generally speak

It doesn't seem like anyone is taking the position here that C is flawless. Rather, the question is, given both its flaws and its ubitquity, is it acceptable to trade off developer head-wall interactions for the possibility of high pe

It's well known that (1) most people have EBV some time in their life, and (2) most people don't have MS. The news that any number of people who don't develop MS get EBV would be mundane.

Very interested to see that the simulator is built with simavr, a project I've been hacking around with a lot recently. As I understand it, enabling this kind of application is exactly the vision simavr was built with. Good work!

My point is that the results from a study are not a promise, and any attempt to paint them as such is disingenuous at best.
