I think both those cases are easy to decide, and are legitimate play. Even if they were not legitimate, I think the remedy is simple -- not jail, but at worst return the money that was taken. In this case, even if deciding the merit of the

I really didn't intend that as an insult! I just find it very easy to distinguish between a case where someone followed reasonable rules and got an outcome they didn't like, versus a case where someone found absurd rules - clearly

If you can't distinguish "not what I intended" from "not what I wanted" then there is probably no reasoning with you. Luckily for the rest of us, making this distinction is a pre-requisite for becoming a judge or la

Not always, just in this case :-) What's actually confusing in the analogy? Are you actually confused or just pretending? The point is that just because a sign says something under a literal reading, it doesn't mean that it's

"Code is Law" is a profoundly immature idea, and I am surprised anyone other than children take it seriously. The law is not, and never has been, something that is read literally and taken at face value. This is the entire reason

What a waste of a comment. Low salaries typically imply finding a job is easier, because more potential employers can afford to pay you. Can you add any kind of evidence, argument, anything? Saying "fact" after an armchair guess d

Indeed, but that is just ideology, not based on any facts.

Some of these criticisms I can understand and agree with. Direct messaging is broken and should be fixed rather than removed (since you need to share credentials in order to use a third party messaging app). When you say "Account migra

Totally agree on both points. I follow Cory Doctorow and every time he posts it's a 20-long thread that just spams my timeline.

There was a post on HN a few weeks ago from the Recurse Center immigration advisor, and a decent proportion of comments were about the alarming situation in the US. I probably would have applied, but I won't travel to the US while cond

Why would they do that? The system is behaving exactly as intended.

I don't think they do intend that. I think they intend to get free contributions from keen people who think erroneously they're contributing to a public good.

The definition of open source is itself a corruption of free software which came before it, and was corrupted by the same people.

Why do you think these details are important? The entire point of these tools is that I am supposed to be able to trust what they say. The hard work is precisely to be able to spot which things are true and false. If I could do that I would

The posted link has an anchor to the bottom of the page. Presumably a mistake?

I'm not disagreeing with you!

It also linked to https://drewdevault.com/2025/03/17/2025-03-17-Stop-externali... , which is another worthwhile read.

For small probabilities it works :) 1-(1-p1)(1-p2) = p1+p2-p1p2 and a similar formula holds for more terms. so neglecting terms of order p^2 gives the form in the article

To be fair, in my experience a lot of train operators will not declassify a train unless it is very very full. So if you got a first class ticket, you wouldn't be as stuck.

How is it misleading? It would be impossible for someone to credibly claim something peaked in 2024, for example. So it must be some time in the past (and 2018 is not very long ago).

"completely different" and "utterly irrelevant" are not the same thing. They also aren't completely different. They have things in common (killing and harming birds). You're trying to turn "I don't ca

I would hardly call it "utterly irrelevant" that in a discussion about "killing birds is bad" someone mentions that it is not usually considered bad to kill birds for food.
