Humans have a right to ownership of their property which includes their bodies and who they interact with. That includes having the right to discriminate. While it may be unkind, it is a greater evil to force someone to interact with someon

True indeed. Since King Gustav Vasa who indebted the nation to fund his wars and in order to finance this, forever doomed the swedes to suffer centralisation, in order to establish his taxation regime. What I mean with this historical tidbi

I’d be interested in learning this from the source! Thanks for your reply

I argue that using force to stop free men from living free is a greater moral evil than being out and about, also when there is contagious disease in the world. All men are equal children of creation; no man is born with the right to stand

I’m not sure, but I’d expect Swedish statistics to update the same day, as we have very little if any record keeping on paper, and databases are centralised here.

Let’s please keep HN discussion civil and communicate in good faith, without snark and sarcasm. HN is such a rare community for this reason. You are free to argue why the stance my country Sweden has taken is misinformed or unwise but let’s

There has been 25 documented cases of COVID reinfection worldwide, so assuming you had it without actually doing tests is likely false. There are many diseases with similar symptoms in the upper respiratory system, and given no more than 25

Let’s try to keep snark and sarcasm out of the discussion, and instead argue out of data or first principles. HN is a rare bastion of light on the internet - a refuge of civil discussion

It’s true that those who don’t understand what a HTTP cookie is, are unable to make informed decisions about them. Forcing those who reply to HTTP messages to ask if they can send a header asking if they can save a cookie does not change th

Would it be possible to totally close the border to for example Germany, France, or Czechia, like NZ can do? I highly doubt it but am open to ideas. It would certainly be immoral to use force to hinder native citizens from travelling out of

Keeping cookies is voluntary - the HTTP header can only ask if you wish to keep it. Most popular user agents just keep all cookies by default, but it’s by no means given.

by jeofken 6y ago
A HTTP response may ask the user agent to keep a cookie. The user agent is free to do so, reject it, or ask the user (as Konqueror did). It is not the responsibility of everyone responding to HTTP requests to ask to ask “I ask you if I can

Let’s remember that the http response asks the user agent to keep the cookie - it is voluntary to do so. Browsers may not have white lists but rather always set cookies, but it is not a given. For this reason, I wish my government would hav

In my neighbour countries no one is asking them to “please hold” - the government is using its (violent) force to make them stop living and doing business. In my home Sweden we are spared. I say there is an important moral difference betwee

I agree it’s sad how far this world is from perfection, and that so many don’t know about the benefits of owning capital. I wish I could convince people to spend only half of what they spend on weed and alcohol on buying stocks - it would b

Since this pandemic began, I’ve never understood this line of reasoning. I invite you to enlighten me. Let’s say we use the governments force to close business down, in order to hinder the virus from spreading there. When the government lat

A stock is a voting right in a company, which among other things can be used to vote for distributing dividends to stock owners. That is what gives it value to the purchases of the stock. It is purchased because the buyer expects to earn mo

If you are implementing it in a functional and GC language (like OCaml, Scheme/Clojure, JavaScript, F#, Elm, Haskell) using parser combinators is a lovely technique where you make composable mini-parsers. Worth researching! As a side e

You may be right. I wish I could have realized this when I had to work, because I chose to live in an existence where I caused myself and my coworkers suffering over the bullshit. Being useful to someone was a need in me, but I thought I ju

I did intend to retire for good. Now I’m thinking to maybe do coding a few months per year, and food delivery on bicycle for the rest, in order to get a work out and be useful to someone. I realized, if I’m not useful, then I’m useless.

That might be, but it wasn’t the case for me. I play music, have some pretty cool coding projects, am self-studying science, do sports, and have good friends. When this contract is up I’ll def take some months off, maybe another half year.
