@freemo are you pointing at the concept of being arrested "for" something in general or that an original reason for arrest would still be valid if it was valid initially?
Sadly, we keep conditioning each other to interpret things we say in an indirect fashion. See e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfLdFZ4my9g (comedic fiction, but the mechanism is IMO real) and consider why would the passengers be alarmed by an announcement that tells them something they are pretty sure is true.
@freemo Do you know how that changes across age, cities/small towns, and immigration status? (I can't easily find anything that would give me those answers for Switzerland, but the general tendency seems to also be true: ~4/5ths are men.)
@freemo@khird example of not past decisions that you probably also didn't want to include: let's say that in a society with no social safety nets there is a person who can not support themselves other than by theft, but refuses to steal.
@niconiconi You mention that vacuuming the database and similar measures that don't change its contents help significantly. Do you know what are the content-related reasons for the slowdown? (i.e. what grows without bound?)
I enjoy things around information theory (and data compression), complexity theory (and cryptography), read hard scifi, currently work in infosec, am somewhat literal minded and have approximate knowledge of random things. I like when statements have truth values, and when things can be described simply (which is not exactly the same as shortly) and yet have interesting properties.I live in the largest city of Switzerland (and yet have cow and sheep pastures and a swimmable lake within a few hundred meters of my place :)). I speak Polish, English, German, and can understand simple Swiss German and French.If in doubt, please err on the side of being direct with me. I very much appreciate when people tell me that I'm being inaccurate. I think that satisfying people's curiosity is the most important thing I could be doing (and usually enjoy doing it). I am normally terse in my writing and would appreciate requests to verbosify.I appreciate it if my grammar or style is corrected
