Bad example on my part. Let’s just say to have a conversation with a neighbor on any particular subject.

Tell that to the poor souls at Charlie Hebdo.

Element of surprise.

Or just do away with permitting and let anyone carry.

He shouldn’t have to apply for a permit in the first place. 2nd amendment should cover his needs. Having a permit process just opens up the system for corruption.

Yep. It’s a racket. Imagine if you had to get your sheriff’s permission to open a radio station — given that you only broadcast party friendly programming.

> It's the truth

I realize that the federal government /can/ do things, it's whether they/it /should/ do them.

"I want them to" and "It's been done before" don't fly. These are contracts between willing participants, none of which have been broken. The federal government would be overstepping proper bounds to interfere.

> Unilateral control is the reality

Yes. Which is why we should minimize the regulation coming out at the federal level.

> There need to be responbilities to society as well.

They owe you nothing. They provide a product, you either buy it or you don't.

Then buy another brand which is easier to repair. You buy the tractor with eyes wide open.

I agree with you that repairability would be nice, but some brands prefer not to do that. Let other brands drive them out.

This isn’t a problem, it’s just reality. An app dev needs to support the platforms. You are still free to use something else.

It’s their prerogative to force the issue. Switch to Android if they won’t listen to petitions.

Of course there is an alternative. Android.

So? It’s their platform.

By what standard are you claiming justification besides “it has been done before”?

> so a government is free to impose whatever constraints it wants on corporations

Sorry this is just stated, not justified. I happen to think that the government should not have unilateral control.

Just because the people are generally happy with 2 options? If enough people cared about extra app stores, someone would create an alternative as there would be money to make.

What’s not free about it? Just because they are popular doesn’t mean the market’s not free.

Why? If someone wants to offer that it’s fine. But to force it is an unjustified intrusion into the market.

Not fine for a company to sell you a device on their own terms?

Yes realistically speaking. Of course if you switch to a competitor things aren’t going to integrate as well. Perhaps you can immerse yourself in that ecosystem.

I’m certainly not trolling.

You’re not trapped. Over time switch to another provider. Or all at once.

They sell you a service and device with terms. If you don’t like it, get out of that ecosystem.

Certainly don’t use the power of the federal government. Do you like monopolies? Because that’s how you get monopolies.

But they weren’t a monopoly. Buy a Mac.

A mistake then as well. Buy a Mac if you don’t like Microsoft’s approach.

Thanks for the reply.

> Godel's theorems have philosophical ramifications, but then again so do basically all theorems given the right framing.

So not any more or less than any other theory?

> and there is wide consensus that they fail.

I think this consensus has more to do with presuppositions than logic considering the potential implications of Godel's theorem.

> often by exaggerating their consequences.

So you assert, many think differently.

Edit: To clarify, are you asserting that they do /not/ extend into philosophy? What exaggerations are you specifically referring to?

> Truth lies instead in how we choose to apply the axiom schema to the external world

Is this true?

> unions don’t have a corruption incentive

Going to need a source.

I haven’t found a good CMake linter, do you use one?

How does VsCode compare for C++/Cmake development?

Has anyone used VsCode for C++/CMake development? What was your experience?

If there was an alternative, higher wage they would pick that. This is the market labor cost.

AFAIK due to regulation, hospitals can prevent other, new hospitals from being built and it happens often. Get rid of the regulation.
