I just can't shake the notion that this is based upon Utopian concepts. The cost in terms of lives attempting to implement Utopian visions in the 20th century can be measured in the 10s of millions. Even if we could pay the upfront cost there is zero assurance that it would be stable or that it would produce better outcomes then what we have now.

> No, we don't. We have a few failed states like Somalia today, but they are few; almost all societies on the planet today have governments.

You wouldn't call all the human societies that existed prior to the modern nation state version of this experiment If the colonies count we have enumerable examples and in all cases at a certain point of density people took it upon themselves to form governments and delegate punishment to an other power. All forms of the anarchist argument ignore the fact that governments grew out of necessity and need. weather for internal control or to protect against an external force. I view human nature as unchaining so I doubt that any theory can hold sway over it.

Pinker has this in his book but its good to reference. Also Fukiama https://www.amazon.com/Origins-Political-Order-Prehuman-Revo...

Societies have always competed in there own right. The state is a more effective way to organize groups of people than the chiefdom which is more effective than the tribe.

If someone comes and robs you in and anarco-* society what remedy do you have. Not doing business with them in the future seems mild. Getting others to ostracize them will basically become a game of who has better social connections or the larger family. If I go and steal back my property am I subject to his retaliation. Can I murder his relative in retaliation.

The reason I ask these questions is we have a lot of evidence of what happens in societies with out 3rd party enforcement and it usually doesn't tend toward individual safety or security.

> People seem to like to be ruled, so long as they have just enough freedom.

Look at Hobbes he lived though the chaos of the interregnum and decided that the state was all that mattered.

GDPR is a boon to large tech. The more complicated the compliance the bigger the advantage for large firms.

This seems like a Just don't work for that company issue. Some places don't reimburse travel meals at all and as long as I have a choice I wouldn't work for them.

Where I grew up there was around 60% poverty, and most of the poverty was communicated via terrible life choices passed one generation to the next. Every one I know who left have done well and that includes people who join the military to those who went to collage. So much of poverty is about the culture you are born into which translates into bad decision and poor outcomes. If we could do anything destroying the cultures that create these conditions would get us more for our buck.

You own your land not the conditions that surround that land.

You have to identify your data class which takes a lawyer. You have to assure that no data is held longer than 48 hours even telemetry without providing an export and delete function. You have to support level 4 data requests which will take a lawyer.

Just like all regulation its very doable but its way more cost effective for the big players.

Maybe. I just assume any forum will have its bad actors. I don't know when that crosses the line to a toxic place.

I think SO has gotten what I would call more rules bound. When I started participating in 09 and there were fun code golf challenges some open discussions etc. Now its very strict questions must be directly answerable no discussion no challenges.

I don't understand what people find toxic about it. It just seems to be vague. Maybe I'm not getting something. Its fundamentally a site where people help you for internet points that seems on its basis to be the definition of non toxic.

Also all shipping companies also has to report to the uk anti smuggling network.

I grew up in Appalachia and the biggest thing in my opinion is the lack of economic migration. After I spent a year teaching computer science remotely in Eastern Kentucky I decided we need to not spend another $ on building up the area but instead help people move away.

What term would you use the more hip genocide. Do you feel that the Jewish genocide of 1940s is special in some way. Is using that term to describe the annihilation of a people in a systematic way somehow diminishing to those that lived thought the holocaust.

I'm just wondering there have been genocides of peoples throughout history right up to today. See Rwanda east timore/ south Sudan. I think in each case it was a holocaust for the targeted group.

In my view a genocide is a description of an event. The Jewish Holocaust articulates the target and effectively re-frames the conversation to group who was targeted. It also conveys that the genocide was general enough to affect the overall survival of the people. There are many conquests in history Rome defeated Carthage 3 times but only the third Punic war resulted in the cartagenian holocaust.

Also work for MS I have an office, but wouldn't care if we went open. I worked for wall street for a while and was used to it.

My wife was attacked and she was caring a gun. People who attack people are fundamentally not good at risk reward cost benefit analysis.

The deal is if you carry, which I did for years, you have to maintain above normal situational awareness. You have to be able to get space. Cops can do this because they arrive after the fact and get to enter the situation with the appropriate threat posture. If I have a gun and I get into an altercation the moment i'm in physical contact with the other person the gun doesn't matter. The long and the short of it is if you can be prepared and have "the drop" on someone a gun is a great way to protect yourself. That is why I feel the shotgun at home is a good idea concealed carry an overall liability.

Source. I lived in the 14th most dangerous neighborhood in the us for 15 years and carried a gun most of the time.

The argument could be made to role back the clock make import tariffs very high and limit automation. If I'm unskilled why would I not join a political revolt to limit the effects of my future irrelevance.

We just don't have a system like that. I grew up in Appalachia the county next to mine has yet to get cell phones or the internet. There is no viable economic activity their and everyone who could has left. Those that stay cling to the idea that coal will create jobs again.

We don't even have a basic agreement on how and what kids should be taught, and since we don't have public healthcare or social insurance for all its a big risk to move in order to search for better economic activity.

The roman empire Lasted 600+ years so I have trouble using it as a comparison.

I feel the same about the volunteer military. It also lowers the bar for entry. The most important thing a state does in engage in war. Everyone from all levels of society should pay that price.

Yea but he also might just be a person who only works on the stuff they like and shrek the other stuff. No job is all roses otherwise you wouldn't get paid. You need people who can work within others processes. Attitude trumps talent 90% of the time.

Works pretty well. There are some npm packages that don't work with windows. [subst]( https://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp...) solves the path issue. Also with bash on windows in the future it shouldn't be any issue.
