Early voting doesn’t prove your point; it’s the opposite of what you were alleging about elections! Not specific days, not a uniform process. Perplexing counter-argument.

Today is a Tuesday and it’s not a work holiday for almost everyone. So what are you talking about?

Luckily the paywall is mostly for export tools and cloud backup. The latter I don’t need, and it’s only a minor inconvenience to use Airdrop + pandoc for the former.

> The way you phrase it suggests that the crime problem is independent of immigration

Not really. It’s still possible to “blow this out of proportion” even if the distribution does not factor along immigration status.

> The people have every rational reason to oppose immigration if such a rise in criminality is the outcome.

It’s not rational to respond to a 5x prevalence (simply using your figure for the sake of argument, and assuming that future immigrants are similar to past ones) as if it were 10x or 100x, and that seems closer to jacquesm’s point.

You’re committing a fallacy of association and then attributing that fallacy to the parent comment. Not great.

“Fascists blame everything on immigrants...” is the logical equivalent of what they said.

As an active member of the IEEE for over a decade now, I have never seen anyone (aside from the author here) take this duty seriously. There are plenty of IEEE members working on things that directly cause such hazards.

This is not a criticism of their moderation style, this is simply reporting how they describe it.

I dunno, clearly I need an LLM psychiatrist.

The OpenAI math dump showed that it’s not worth paying hundreds of PhD-years if a tech bro can do it with an agent.

The issue with this policy is hyperbolic discounting — students are fine choosing not to do homework when the consequences (EDIT: that is, doing poorly on the exam) are still in the future, but less so when they become present.

Then they lash out at the instructor, even if it’s really their fault.

I’m glad you finally admitted to some of your feelings on the matter. A limited hangout, as they say.

> I don’t think someone who just thinks about stuff should have the power to “take Starlink away” from someone who does stuff.

Even if you insist Krugman “just thinks about stuff,” he objectively does not have the power you ascribe to him.

I gave you the benefit of doubt earlier, but you can’t get through a comment without dropping a snarky jab.

Not liking people is normal. I don’t see why you thought you had to attempt to conceal your contempt (or that you could, since it’s apparently so strong).

Heinlein was such an odd fellow. Extremely progressive on one hand and extremely regressive on the other, sometimes in the span of a single paragraph.

And all the Krugman negging! “Not a real Nobel Prize.” Sick burn, dude.

Must be some vestigial, ancient hacker ethos thing.

You can just say you don’t like his politics. You don’t need to misrepresent his accomplishments.

It’s acceptable on AO3 to write a narrative description of a real person’s actual abuse, including their personal information (see II.F.4.a), and it only “may result in a judgment of harassment” if also the author specifically makes it available to the victim.

The policy is unsafe by design.

Not that it matters much to me whether it was or is meaningful or not. Nostalgia is simply a feeling that doesn’t imply much about its object.
