Biography
Betros was born on August 29, 1931, in Poughkeepsie, New York. He practiced law, and served as an Assistant New York Attorney General in 1960. He was a member of the New York State Assembly, from 1969 until his death in 1980. Betros died on March 10, 1980 in Poughkeepsie, New York of lung cancer. In deference to his four-year battle with lung cancer, by virtue of a New York State Assembly rules committee vote, Betros is the first person in the United States to have initiated, and to have had instituted, the first state law, banning and prohibiting all smoking, in all public places and most private places in America.[1]

gollark: Your complaints mostly seem to be that the rules for quoting or not quoting are not obvious to non-programmers, but I figure that service files are mostly written by people with some technical skill.
gollark: > tomlyes.
gollark: Although it would be nice if it could forward logs of stdout/err off to something.
gollark: You probably could have the basic "service manager" stuff done by a simple program which just reads TOML files from a directory, builds dependency graphs, and starts things, and that would be okay too.
gollark: I mean, I'd prefer a more loosely coupled system, but systemd... mostly works ish?
