I can remember there were similar cases in the US.<p>One of those belgium bombers was supposed to be in prison, but the belgium police did not care. For the other one they did get a warning from the turkey, but it was ignored. Those two mistakes are only the tip of the iceberg.<p>I do not understand how throwing away our freedom would help in such cases.	null	11,499,939	null	null	null	null	null	null	null

This has been the case in anti-trust, social security, medicaid and many more instances.<p>Well, you are certainly entitled to your opinions. I guess we fundamentally disagree on how historical events should be interpreted.<p>>The idea that an entire industry is failing to meet consumer demands is economically absurd. Why would competition not arise to match consumer demands?<p>Industries don't exist to meet demands, they exist to create profit. Meeting an external demand can create profit, but so can unlawful or immoral business practices. This is the very reason why people seek an organized entity (like a government) to negotiate on their behalf. Pristine economic theories work nicely in a bubble, but we don't live in one.<p>>Are you one of the lucky 20% (perhaps less) of the population which your candidate of choice won the election? Did that candidate match all of your ideas, or was he or she the least-rotten of the bunch? Is that candidate really "advocating on [your] behalf" when they get into power? What of the other 80% of the population who were unhappy with the outcome of an election? How do you measure these "aggregate outcomes"? Is the $4 trillion (on the books) spending of the US government all necessary to accomplish these improved aggregates?<p>Do I agree with everything that the US government does? No. Would I rather be a US citizen than one of any other country? Yes. Do I think this country has the potential to move itself in the right direction? Yes.<p>>I'm not sure I would say "pointless". I may not agree with what is going on, but certainly some people are getting rich with the trillions of dollars being squandered. Some people are benefiting by regulations which strangle out their competition. Some people feel good about having their morals forced upon others. Some people like having positions of dominion and power which they exercise violence over others. Some people make a pretty penny from blowing up people in far off lands. I may think there's a better way, but I wouldn't say its pointless.<p>In what world is it good socialist policy to squander trillions of dollars? Obviously things could be improved. Yes, some regulation is bad, just look at the anti-competitive practices Comcast has lobbied for over the years (and make no mistake, those policies are only in place because of Comcast's lobbying). Regulation is not the same thing as socialism. Socialism can impose regulation to promote certain principles, sure, but that doesn't mean all regulation is created to further social goals.	null	11,499,228	null	[ 11502312 ]	null	null	null	null	null

"The thief was a member in the AA meeting held on the 28th, but we don't know which one. We do know one person in that group's name though, so let's follow up on what we can." A lead is anything that can be followed up on. If it can't be followed up on, it's not a lead.<p>This is getting pretty far into the weeds, so I'm going to try to summarize my position more concisely, and from a different direction. I'm interested in if our stances on this are actually all that different.<p>My stance: The running of a Tor exit node should not be used to <i>exclude</i> a suspect from an initial look just because the traffic has a statistically much smaller chance of having originated with the suspect (based on percentage of traffic, not number of users). That is, it should not be a "fruit of a poisoned tree" type scenario, where the running of the exit node somehow provides protection, as I think none is warranted.<p>By running the Tor exit node through your home connection (or in any way that easily tracks back to you), you are <i>associating</i> your identity to that traffic. Not necessarily as the originator, but you are associated. If that association happens to bring attention to you that makes you look like a viable suspect (hopefully from more than just that association!), then that should be followed up on, even if it happens to end up not yielding the correct suspect (you can't know ahead of time). To me, this isn't about Tor, or an open WiFi, but about associating your name in any way in criminal activity, no matter how small, no matter how removed. There is increased risk there purely because you've made yourself <i>more present</i> in the minds of the investigators, and they may see something there to your detriment.<p>I don't think it's any different than if I walked around handing my business card to <i>every</i> person I saw on the street. If one ends up murdered or arrested, the police may see that and decide to take a look at me. Should I be arrested or raided purely on that criteria? No. But if I'ma lawyer, and there was a lawyer associated with the crime in some way, I might start looking like an interesting suspect. It is very clear to me that I have <i>increased my risk</i> by being very undiscerning of who I hand my cards out to.<p>My position on this comes from a prior article on the same event, discussed at HN[1], where the raided party said:<p><i>Robinson admits it might be safer, legally, to host the Tor relay on rented space from a commercial Internet service to avoid mingling his personal traffic with Tor, but he says he shouldn't have to.<p>"Why should I be spending extra money?" he asks. "There need to be more Tor exit nodes, more Tor nodes generally, and you don't need to be discouraging people from doing it by intimidating them with bogus criminal complaints," he says.</i><p>He <i>doesn't</i> have to, but he also doesn't get to act like his actions are completely removed from reality, and don't have any consequences whatsoever. Clearly they do, and they did, and I think it's unrealistic to think they <i>won't</i> or <i>shouldn't</i>, as that's not how people's minds (and thus investigations) work.<p>1: <a href="http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/04/04/472992023/when-a-dark-web-volunteer-gets-raided-by-the-police" rel="nofollow">http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/04/04/472...</a>	null	11,499,416	null	null	null	null	null	null	null

11,500,075	null	comment	steveklabnik	1,460,665,749	It's more like "We designed the type system to take concurrency into account, and then provided various types ourselves in the standard library (like Send/Sync) to be used with them. We also provide a bunch of concurrency abstractions and tools, in the standard library, but due to the guarantees being more in the type system, others can also write their own. Some of these do rely on OS-level capabilities as well.<p>In general, very little of Rust is technically "in the language", but to the user, something in the standard library vs the language itself often doesn't matter, it's the same experience either way.	null	11,500,054	null	[ 11505007 ]	null	null	null	null	null

But every day I write code that works with a generic Option[A] and I want to <i>not have to worry about</i> what happens if someone calls it with A=Option[B]. I also frequently use Option as a parameter to some other datastructure like Kleisli or WriterT, which only works because it's an ordinary datatype that behaves like any other.<p>You say "you can just use the Optional class from the Java 8 standard library", but as far as I can see porting code that was written to use nullables would be a pretty big refactor, and there's no way at all to write generic code that works with both, so you'd end up having to maintain two parallel copies of your common functions.<p>Efforts to improve the performance of Option are of course to be applauded, but for a lot of use cases we're talking about the difference between (say) 50x faster than Ruby and 40x faster than Ruby. Scala is more than fast enough for a huge range of use cases; I don't think I've ever seen someone port code off Scala because the runtime performance wasn't good enough.	null	11,498,621	null	null	null	null	null	null	null

Humans are just not as accurate as compilers, not even for the simplest of things.<p>Besides that there's always nerves, misunderstandings, cultural differences etc. In one place I interviewed they asked me to write a factorial method in Java. I assumed they wanted a recursive method, because, factorial, right? Classic recursive example. So I gave them a recursive factorial in Whiteboard Java™. I turned around from the whiteboard to see the interviewers staring at me, their mouths hanging open. And not in a good way. It turns out all they wanted was to see if I could write a simple loop. Instead of marvelling at my amazing recursion powers, they got the impression I was needlessly flashy and probably had my head up my arse. Also, seeing them staring I completely panicked and I totally screwed the iterative version: the loop went up instead of down, I was adding where I should be multiplying... a shambles.<p>So they didn't hire me.<p>Shit happens in interviews and it's not because "Johnny can't program". It's because "Johnny can't pass a programmign interview" (or at least many of them).	null	11,495,932	null	[ 11503191, 11505713 ]	null	null	null	null	null

Voting from your IOT device is technically pretty feasible at this point (maybe check the link in my profile). Also, I feel nepotism and corruption might be reduced if positions of power (even potus) would be selected from the general citizen pool randomly (~like a jury) instead of campaigning for them. I'm not American but following the election I could not pick a candidate from any of the parties who I would trust to represent my views.

No fraud took place here. No personal or business data was stolen. No one was hurt. The damage was the online equivalent of "Kilroy was here" on a bathroom wall. The "victim" in the case is a giant media conglomerate responsible for the silencing of thousands of independent local voices. That is, they have no difficulty continually broadcasting their animating political philosophy: "More power and wealth for us! Glory to the top-down authoritarianism that makes us rich!" We don't hear the opposing side in that debate.<p>Rather, when it's heard, it's quickly silenced as in this case. (Keys was explicitly fired for political reasons. Who doubts he was prosecuted for the same reasons?) There isn't a chance that a similar episode at a small-town newspaper or independent broadcaster or even a popular online-only media site would receive the publicly-funded attention of a federal prosecutor. Most of those dream of higher public office, and they all know whom to make happy and whom to ignore, to make those dreams come true.<p>Resident HN Qin Dynasty fans might think the problem I describe is one of insufficient enforcement, that if only every knucklehead site defacement could be punished with the full weight of the USA-Justice Dept., we'd live in a utopia. Please realize, however, that this arbitrary authoritarianism is the <i>only possible</i> use of such a law, because it is the <i>design</i> of the law. There will never be enough federal prosecutors to send everyone involved with any defacement anywhere to prison. The point is not to prevent site defacement. The point is to centralize, to provide every benefit to large corporations and deny the same to other firms. That's actually the point of most laws that get passed nowadays. In this case, since this is a media company, the specific point is to control public discourse and destroy those who challenge it, and thereby to keep those profits and campaign donations up. For the rest of us, the cure is worse than the disease.<p>Security experts are the real fools, when they support the criminalization of minor shit like this. You're going to get paid anyway, whether someone goes to FPMITAP or not. In fact, you'd probably get paid <i>more</i>, if more people were comfortable poking giants in the eye. Executives bitch about all consultants, but do you imagine there is any particular type of consultant they'd be happier to fire? Giant corporations are not good, they are not your friends, and you owe them only the services they purchase. You don't owe them any political allegiance, and sending people like this to prison actually harms you in the long run.	null	11,498,685	null	[ 11500170 ]	null	null	null	null	null

Preventing an attack here and an attack there is just noise against the backdrop of civilian deaths every day from the groups we've created. So we could prevent an attack in Paris, at the cost of our liberty. A number of deaths that's basically noise. When do we prevent the everyday slaughter of people who aren't living in Europe at the hands of these same groups? How many of those deaths are prevented by me surrendering my privacy? Why should we give up our freedoms to prevent a tiny handful of deaths against a backdrop of daily slaughter? And furthermore, give them up while I can see our leaders, instead of beginning the three generations of sane foreign policy, continuing to exacerbate the problem? Maybe if the deal was that it was a short term thing, just while the root of the problem was fixed, I could get on board, but I see no sign of that.<p>Frankly, giving up our freedoms <i>is</i> the pathetic, easy choice.

In the case of paris and belgium it would have been more helpful if the european agencies would work together. I can remember there were similar cases in the US.One of those belgium bombers was supposed to be in prison, but the belgium police did not care. For the other one they did get a warning from the turkey, but it was ignored. Those two mistakes are only the tip of the iceberg.I do not understand how throwing away our freedom would help in such cases.

Does anyone have any information about when/if we will see support for higher-kinded types in Rust? There is the RFC thread on Github (<a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/324" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/324</a>), but I haven't been following the trajectory very closely, and a quick synopsis would be wonderful and appreciated.

Visual Studio Code has been a very pleasant surprise indeed. Fast and simple. Not everyone needs a powerful IDE, especially when learning.I have been using it a lot lately to write snippets of code in C or HTML.

Exact platform support, including "cross compile only" or "rustc/cargo runs on it" are listed here: <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/getting-started.html#platform-support" rel="nofollow">https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/getting-started.html#platform...</a>

>In my study of history the case which government lays out for their new intervention is based on twisted truths, exaggerations and most likely downright lies. This has been the case in anti-trust, social security, medicaid and many more instances.Well, you are certainly entitled to your opinions. I guess we fundamentally disagree on how historical events should be interpreted.>The idea that an entire industry is failing to meet consumer demands is economically absurd. Why would competition not arise to match consumer demands?Industries don't exist to meet demands, they exist to create profit. Meeting an external demand can create profit, but so can unlawful or immoral business practices. This is the very reason why people seek an organized entity (like a government) to negotiate on their behalf. Pristine economic theories work nicely in a bubble, but we don't live in one.>Are you one of the lucky 20% (perhaps less) of the population which your candidate of choice won the election? Did that candidate match all of your ideas, or was he or she the least-rotten of the bunch? Is that candidate really "advocating on [your] behalf" when they get into power? What of the other 80% of the population who were unhappy with the outcome of an election? How do you measure these "aggregate outcomes"? Is the $4 trillion (on the books) spending of the US government all necessary to accomplish these improved aggregates?Do I agree with everything that the US government does? No. Would I rather be a US citizen than one of any other country? Yes. Do I think this country has the potential to move itself in the right direction? Yes.>I'm not sure I would say "pointless". I may not agree with what is going on, but certainly some people are getting rich with the trillions of dollars being squandered. Some people are benefiting by regulations which strangle out their competition. Some people feel good about having their morals forced upon others. Some people like having positions of dominion and power which they exercise violence over others. Some people make a pretty penny from blowing up people in far off lands. I may think there's a better way, but I wouldn't say its pointless.In what world is it good socialist policy to squander trillions of dollars? Obviously things could be improved. Yes, some regulation is bad, just look at the anti-competitive practices Comcast has lobbied for over the years (and make no mistake, those policies are only in place because of Comcast's lobbying). Regulation is not the same thing as socialism. Socialism can impose regulation to promote certain principles, sure, but that doesn't mean all regulation is created to further social goals.

> If they're not suspected more then it isn't a lead.Sure it is. "The thief was a member in the AA meeting held on the 28th, but we don't know which one. We do know one person in that group's name though, so let's follow up on what we can." A lead is anything that can be followed up on. If it can't be followed up on, it's not a lead.This is getting pretty far into the weeds, so I'm going to try to summarize my position more concisely, and from a different direction. I'm interested in if our stances on this are actually all that different.My stance: The running of a Tor exit node should not be used to exclude a suspect from an initial look just because the traffic has a statistically much smaller chance of having originated with the suspect (based on percentage of traffic, not number of users). That is, it should not be a "fruit of a poisoned tree" type scenario, where the running of the exit node somehow provides protection, as I think none is warranted.By running the Tor exit node through your home connection (or in any way that easily tracks back to you), you are associating your identity to that traffic. Not necessarily as the originator, but you are associated. If that association happens to bring attention to you that makes you look like a viable suspect (hopefully from more than just that association!), then that should be followed up on, even if it happens to end up not yielding the correct suspect (you can't know ahead of time). To me, this isn't about Tor, or an open WiFi, but about associating your name in any way in criminal activity, no matter how small, no matter how removed. There is increased risk there purely because you've made yourself more present in the minds of the investigators, and they may see something there to your detriment.I don't think it's any different than if I walked around handing my business card to every person I saw on the street. If one ends up murdered or arrested, the police may see that and decide to take a look at me. Should I be arrested or raided purely on that criteria? No. But if I'ma lawyer, and there was a lawyer associated with the crime in some way, I might start looking like an interesting suspect. It is very clear to me that I have increased my risk by being very undiscerning of who I hand my cards out to.My position on this comes from a prior article on the same event, discussed at HN[1], where the raided party said:Robinson admits it might be safer, legally, to host the Tor relay on rented space from a commercial Internet service to avoid mingling his personal traffic with Tor, but he says he shouldn't have to."Why should I be spending extra money?" he asks. "There need to be more Tor exit nodes, more Tor nodes generally, and you don't need to be discouraging people from doing it by intimidating them with bogus criminal complaints," he says.He doesn't have to, but he also doesn't get to act like his actions are completely removed from reality, and don't have any consequences whatsoever. Clearly they do, and they did, and I think it's unrealistic to think they won't or shouldn't, as that's not how people's minds (and thus investigations) work.1: <a href="http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/04/04/472992023/when-a-dark-web-volunteer-gets-raided-by-the-police" rel="nofollow">http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/04/04/472...</a>

The only bad part about Jetbrains is that no matter how much i've tried i can't use a text editor without feeling crippled.A big factor is probably that I started programming using Jetbrains tools (except some c++ in codeblocks before that). It's so awesome everything else just sucks.The problem is when i want to try some language that is not well supported by IntelliJ. No matter how cool the language is i get frustrated by editors like sublime/atom/emacs.

I think you are selling yourself short by not asking questions particularly as a junior dev. Depending on the role, people are hiring you for not only your current skills but your potential to grow. Write some questions down in advance - no one is going to ding you for having a cheat sheet for asking questions.Here's some questions I'd ask:- what sort of training or growth opportunities do you have? - do you offer any aid for continued education or online courses? What about conferences? - do you have a buddy or mentor program to help me get moving quickly? - Are there any books or resources you recommend so I can hit the ground running? - If I got the role, what would make you feel you made a great hire in 6 months or a year?

It's more like "We designed the type system to take concurrency into account, and then provided various types ourselves in the standard library (like Send/Sync) to be used with them. We also provide a bunch of concurrency abstractions and tools, in the standard library, but due to the guarantees being more in the type system, others can also write their own. Some of these do rely on OS-level capabilities as well.In general, very little of Rust is technically "in the language", but to the user, something in the standard library vs the language itself often doesn't matter, it's the same experience either way.

Beta blockers aren't particularly bad for you, and as for the effects, from what I've heard, it's probably slightly more comfortable to be on them than not. As for the botox, that can be removed whenever, although removing your ability to blink is not a the most health-oriented response to eye-strain related over-blinking.

Euthanasing animals in India, or at least some parts, is illegal because they believe they can not kill animals, therefore many, if not most animals in India die terrible deaths in old age. I am not confident that chickens, goats, nor many other animals in India are well treated and have good quality of lives.It certainly is not that case that just because you do not consume animals means you keep them in humane conditions.

I generally check the NYT homepage every day, so seeing its URLs on HN isn't particularly helpful to me (ignoring the value of the HN discussions)...however, there is so much interesting information on a daily basis, period, that I bet if the HN front page consisted solely of the most-upvoted of high-traffic mainstream sites, e.g. github, nytimes, medium...it'd still be interesting to me because there'd be a lot that I would've missed otherwise.That said, it'd be cool to have an option/Chrome plugin to filter the frontpage links to domains with relatively rare submissions, just to be able to quickly see the unique upvoted submissions for the day.

I very rarely want to explicitly use an Optional<Optional<T>>. But every day I write code that works with a generic Option[A] and I want to not have to worry about what happens if someone calls it with A=Option[B]. I also frequently use Option as a parameter to some other datastructure like Kleisli or WriterT, which only works because it's an ordinary datatype that behaves like any other.You say "you can just use the Optional class from the Java 8 standard library", but as far as I can see porting code that was written to use nullables would be a pretty big refactor, and there's no way at all to write generic code that works with both, so you'd end up having to maintain two parallel copies of your common functions.Efforts to improve the performance of Option are of course to be applauded, but for a lot of use cases we're talking about the difference between (say) 50x faster than Ruby and 40x faster than Ruby. Scala is more than fast enough for a huge range of use cases; I don't think I've ever seen someone port code off Scala because the runtime performance wasn't good enough.

Humans are just not as accurate as compilers, not even for the simplest of things.Besides that there's always nerves, misunderstandings, cultural differences etc. In one place I interviewed they asked me to write a factorial method in Java. I assumed they wanted a recursive method, because, factorial, right? Classic recursive example. So I gave them a recursive factorial in Whiteboard Java™. I turned around from the whiteboard to see the interviewers staring at me, their mouths hanging open. And not in a good way. It turns out all they wanted was to see if I could write a simple loop. Instead of marvelling at my amazing recursion powers, they got the impression I was needlessly flashy and probably had my head up my arse. Also, seeing them staring I completely panicked and I totally screwed the iterative version: the loop went up instead of down, I was adding where I should be multiplying... a shambles.So they didn't hire me.Shit happens in interviews and it's not because "Johnny can't program". It's because "Johnny can't pass a programmign interview" (or at least many of them).

I use LibreOffice for my resume too. However, I'm the only person who maintains my resume, so it works for me. For something that's going to be touched by a lot of different people, a text-based language is far better because you can diff the changes easily. Such tools exist for office documents within those programs, but they're clumsy and don't integrate with source control systems.But otherwise, Markdown does seem like it'd be a better choice. Everyone's using it these days, it's simple, whereas YAML is obscure.

So, rustup should ask before modifying ~/.profile, this is what opam does. Also, it'd be great to have a directory listing for the rustup-setup executables, because I don't run random shell scripts piped from curl, so I had to reconstruct the URL for what the shell script would have downloaded. Anyway, I'm glad multirust functionality is getting mainlined, because it's a PITA to build many things, like for example rustup.rs, which require nightly rust features.

They use existing IED locations and layers of GIS data to determine where terrorists would be likely to place them. For instance, they use events as training data and then measure distance to light posts, distance from school, distance from whatever to create heat maps of high risk IED areas. The problem is the terrorists algorithm changes as we get better at stopping them. Cat and mouse.

Ah, so you can't argue with me, so you're going to try the ol' appeal to authority ("i've worked on such big code bases that you'll never see").You seem to assume I'm some naive recent grad. I've worked on more than a few 500k LOC applications. I'm a lead at a very large tech company (Fortune 50). The idea that '"clever"' programmers is a thing is incorrect.There are good programmers and bad programmers. It doesn't matter if the lack of abstraction used by one type creates a monolithic mess of spaghetti code or if they use overly obscure attempts at abstraction. Bad code causes technical debt either way, and I've seen both done quite often.

Keyword is more just. I don't pretend I have an answer, there are people far more knowledgeable on these matters. IMO the key points would be something like decreasing the overall power of the government (and red tape) and moving towards more self representation. Voting from your IOT device is technically pretty feasible at this point (maybe check the link in my profile). Also, I feel nepotism and corruption might be reduced if positions of power (even potus) would be selected from the general citizen pool randomly (~like a jury) instead of campaigning for them. I'm not American but following the election I could not pick a candidate from any of the parties who I would trust to represent my views. I guess these points are easily debatable according to personal taste, but I'm sure there are many better ideas around.

Despite the big scary words [seriously, "exfiltrating" and "exhorting" in a single sentence; whom are we trying to convince?], it shouldn't be a crime. No fraud took place here. No personal or business data was stolen. No one was hurt. The damage was the online equivalent of "Kilroy was here" on a bathroom wall. The "victim" in the case is a giant media conglomerate responsible for the silencing of thousands of independent local voices. That is, they have no difficulty continually broadcasting their animating political philosophy: "More power and wealth for us! Glory to the top-down authoritarianism that makes us rich!" We don't hear the opposing side in that debate.Rather, when it's heard, it's quickly silenced as in this case. (Keys was explicitly fired for political reasons. Who doubts he was prosecuted for the same reasons?) There isn't a chance that a similar episode at a small-town newspaper or independent broadcaster or even a popular online-only media site would receive the publicly-funded attention of a federal prosecutor. Most of those dream of higher public office, and they all know whom to make happy and whom to ignore, to make those dreams come true.Resident HN Qin Dynasty fans might think the problem I describe is one of insufficient enforcement, that if only every knucklehead site defacement could be punished with the full weight of the USA-Justice Dept., we'd live in a utopia. Please realize, however, that this arbitrary authoritarianism is the only possible use of such a law, because it is the design of the law. There will never be enough federal prosecutors to send everyone involved with any defacement anywhere to prison. The point is not to prevent site defacement. The point is to centralize, to provide every benefit to large corporations and deny the same to other firms. That's actually the point of most laws that get passed nowadays. In this case, since this is a media company, the specific point is to control public discourse and destroy those who challenge it, and thereby to keep those profits and campaign donations up. For the rest of us, the cure is worse than the disease.Security experts are the real fools, when they support the criminalization of minor shit like this. You're going to get paid anyway, whether someone goes to FPMITAP or not. In fact, you'd probably get paid more, if more people were comfortable poking giants in the eye. Executives bitch about all consultants, but do you imagine there is any particular type of consultant they'd be happier to fire? Giant corporations are not good, they are not your friends, and you owe them only the services they purchase. You don't owe them any political allegiance, and sending people like this to prison actually harms you in the long run.

Higher-kinded types are a far-future enhancement. There are several language-level features that I would expect to be prioritized far above HKT; off the top of my head: specialization (an early prototype implementation of this is in nightly), placement-new, type-level numerics, stabilized syntax extensions, and non-lexical borrows. Of those, all but the last is for the sake of runtime efficiency, whereas HKT is just about genericity and expressiveness (neither of which Rust extremely prioritizes, at least not relative to languages like Haskell).

> For example, homosexuality is rare...decreases the chance of having direct descendantsThe gene for male homosexuality is actually propagated via over-fertility in females with the gene (i.e. gay guys' sisters have more children to compensate). So, reduced direct descendants yes, but reduced passing on of genes no.> Now switch homosexuality for some far less socially acceptable...How does things change?That involves moving out of the realm of consenting individuals. That is what changes.I agree that there is a point at which abnormality becomes illness - my (draft) definition is drawn when the abnormality causes pain (especially chronic pain), or early death.That applies to most old-school illnesses, but not to homosexuality, or autism, or some other disabilities like being short a leg. Specifically on being able to reproduce, I wouldn't say that a mule was disabled, even though it has an odd number of chromosomes and is therefore sterile. Same with the bees; although hive-based species are always going to seem weird to mammals like us.Other disabilities, like arthritis, do meet the illness threshold because they do cause chronic pain. With this definition, those with disabilities may ask for additional equipment, support, or perhaps even elective interventions like TMS, but only those with illnesses need medical interventions (whether to mitigate or cure).

Perhaps if we'd had better regulation while the CIA was running around destabilising parts of the world and installing the dictatorships that led to the current situation, we wouldn't be in this mess.As it is, we know what it takes to prevent these attacks; a few generations of sane foreign policy that doesn't leave large chunks of various populations so full of anger and rage and humiliation that they're willing to blow themselves up just to hurt someone, anyone. Preventing an attack here and an attack there is just noise against the backdrop of civilian deaths every day from the groups we've created. So we could prevent an attack in Paris, at the cost of our liberty. A number of deaths that's basically noise. When do we prevent the everyday slaughter of people who aren't living in Europe at the hands of these same groups? How many of those deaths are prevented by me surrendering my privacy? Why should we give up our freedoms to prevent a tiny handful of deaths against a backdrop of daily slaughter? And furthermore, give them up while I can see our leaders, instead of beginning the three generations of sane foreign policy, continuing to exacerbate the problem? Maybe if the deal was that it was a short term thing, just while the root of the problem was fixed, I could get on board, but I see no sign of that.Frankly, giving up our freedoms is the pathetic, easy choice. It's the cowardly choice and the way to refuse to deal with the real issues, because the real issues are expensive and hard and will take a long time.
