That doesn't sound very left to me. It sounds like cheering brutality for the sake of brutality unless she is specifically interested in the relative prestige among the most powerful nations on the planet.

Reactions to the attacks, often based on terrible strategy, have killed far more innocent people outside of the US than were killed in the attacks. It would make no sense to argue that previous foreign policy was harmful to other poorer countries in such a way that the attacks were justified, without acknowledging that the attacks made people's lives worse around the world.

"Had it coming" is a phrase I'd expect more from a right winger who feels his or her superiority is insufficiently respected. Such a right wing person would still be angry with the US for Roosevelt telling Churchill that he didn't get to keep his empire, and argue about the terrorist attacks in terms of disorder and power vacuums and other imperial concepts. (It should go without saying that colonialism causes far more harm than terrorism)

I'm joking to say that she is a closet believer in colonialism, and I think she was making a joke too, but I think the humor is aimed for a domestic audience's national pride. Taking glee in others misfortune because they "deserve it", when the result will be counter productive to anything good happening is not good.
Except that tweet isn't really accurate - vaccine research is pretty active, and modern, new vaccines have made their makers a fair bit of money.

Beyond that, vaccines are a "Pay $X per month while healthy" treatment - you have to treat everyone whether they're sick or not, and as long as humans keep breeding, you have a replenishing customer base unless we manage the (rare) feat of eradication.

The problem is that modern vaccine targets are hard. Multiple strains, dangerous responses from partial immunity (Dengue), very rapid viral evolution (HIV, flu), etc.

You can only validly make that assertion if you can find somewhere where all else has held equal. Otherwise you'd be making a logical leap without accounting for a bunch of confounding factors.

I also said nothing about whether or not free trade in general is beneficial. What I addressed was the unsupported blanket assumption that free trade will automatically benefit consumers without any kind of qualifications.

As I said: It very well may do, but for that to be true in any specific case, then a number of other factors needs to line up as well.

Sales are down down. Total sales. Not "high end sales". All sales.

> Why should wages decrease?

The economy is growing. The population is growing. Everything is growing… except your money supply. You have to make products cheaper with fixed wages, your personnel costs will explode, until it's no longer affordable to pay the current rates.

Same with rents: Building housing will become progressively cheaper. Rents, land taxes, etc. will have to go down to match these prices, or nobody will be able to afford living in existing housing any more.

> People would definitely go back to saving and away from making debts.

You seem to conflate a lot of issues here. We had inflation with gold standards (because you can debase your currency anyway). We had crashes and bubbles with gold standards (and pre-gold-standard gold based currencies, which you conflate too…). The destruction of the middle class and impoverishment of the lower classes aren't a result of fiat currencies.

> That is not a problem, the need to invest money when there is no objective reason to do so is what leads to investment bubbles and excessive debts.

Except that deflation will result in a shortage of investment even where there is objective need.

Perhaps I'm being a bit contrarian, but numbers and statistics can lie more than you'd expect. Very few laymen can interpret statistics correctly, and you can even skew the proper interpretation by carefully selecting certain statistics which support your viewpoint.

I would be careful in saying that numbers cannot lie, or that they don't lie. Meaningful metrics don't lie, but this is not the same thing (and even then, how do we define meaningful?). I wish people would consider that it is perfectly possible to lie using math, especially so when the average person does not maintain an advanced understanding of statistics.

In small elections public sector workers share an unequal amount of the power with regards to political spending. This includes police workers.

It is against the best interests of anyone seeking office to act against these unions, especially DAs. Thus, you get far less oversight than you should.

People being apathetic or disillusioned with our political process is the biggest problem for the middle and lower classes right now.

I have lived in Seattle since 2009, first working at Microsoft and now working remotely for a Bay Area company. For people who aren't familiar with the Seattle area, it is cleaved into 2 parts:

1) The city of Seattle or the "west side". This area is increasingly dominated by Amazon, local startups and engineering offices for Bay Area companies like Facebook and Google.

2) The cities to the east of Lake Washington (Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland) or the "east side". This is the domain of Microsoft, Expedia, Concur and a smaller set of startups.

Most of the intense change has occurred in Seattle and specifically in the South Lake Union area where Amazon is located. Yes, there has been change and growth elsewhere, but nothing that I would consider alarming.

I'm personally optimistic that Seattle will find a balance between growth and continuing to have an enviable culture and cost of living.
But the standard IV is hardcoded in the sha libraries right ?

I fully believe there's a problem with US and most certainly California cops, but this is not the way to approach the problem. Heck, it doesn't even suggest anything actionable.

Hmm... seems like if you move a large number of people out of "extreme poverty" which was originally defined by the UN, and set at $1.90 a day by the World Bank, they're still going to end up under the "poverty line" of $5.00 a day as defined by your article.

So I'm not sure how this constitutes a "trick". You'd have to move those people directly out of extreme poverty over the $5.00 a day in your article in order to drop the number of people in poverty.

It's still frankly an improvement to move such a large number of people up the poverty scale. I'm sure i'd rather be living on $4 a day rather than $2.

It's a collision if you can choose the IV. That's not much practical use, it's just an interesting demonstration that confirms research is slowly progressing towards a real collision.

SHA-1 uses a Merkle-Damgard construction, which means the input is split into fixed-size blocks and the output from one block becomes the IV for the next. This is because SHA-1 operates on a fixed-size, so if you have more than 1 block of data, it's chained together like this:

char *SHA1(char *IV, char *block);

Digest = SHA1(SHA1(SHA1(StartIV, block1), block2), block3);

A freestart collision is a collision if you can choose the IV. That's not much use, because we don't know how to find a block (or chain of blocks) that produce the IV we want.
Their trade balance was massively negative – it's called the "silk road" and not the "Roman wine and glass ware road" for a reason. Gold and silver left Europe and perishable goods were bought for it. It was initially offset by spoils of war and massive mining operations (some of the Roman mines in Spain are still visible today).

Apart from that, there was also normal economic and population growth – even without trade, if your population and economy grows, you'll need more money if you want to keep prices and wages stable.

So, they had several options:

• Conquer places that have gold! That went well for a few centuries, until it didn't any more.

• Debase the currency to make more of the money still here. That was, unsurprisingly, massively unpopular. And because monetary value was still tied to precious metals, people just started to hoard old money to melt it in later (something you still occasionally see with e.g. copper pennies), which led to all sorts of economic problems (occasionally crashing all the way down to barter trade).
For all the discussion (i.e.: heated biased arguing) about poverty, seems nobody has addressed an objective definition of what constitutes "poor". Why is the world poverty line at $1.25/day, but the US poverty line is 20x that? We need a quantitative analysis, starting with basic caloric/nutritional/BTU/water/power/data/etc needs (independent of arbitrary numbers imputed by fiat/floating currencies) for cost of bare sustenance, then work from there recognizing that varying geography, demographics, et al adjusts that cost, then admitting that different cultures further adjust those basic costs.

Without such objective analysis of basic sustenance, fudging numbers is trivial.
Wonder if it pays to have every police gun have a GPS/microcontroller which uploads over cellular the GPS corrdinates and timestamp whenever the gun is discharged. If every gun has a unique id and is registered to a police member. We'd have very accurate data.

Heck combine this with the video system. Might not stop the shootings, but it'd give us useful data to help prevent them going forwards.

I think a per-capita statistic is a bit flawed in this case, although I understand why they use it -- the math is very simple.

The problem with per-capita measurement of income for very poor people is that what you really care about is per-family income because of the economies of scale involved in so many of the goods they consume -- cooking fuel, etc.

In places where poverty like this exists, a family of 8 living on $8/day ($1 per capita) is often better-off than a family of 4 living on $5/day ($1.25 per capita).

Regardless of whatever methodological flaws exist in various metrics, this is a positive trend that is (hopefully) only going to get better as technology increases the efficiency of various systems of distributing goods and services.
I actually find it kind of interesting.

Historically, Apple absolutely would have been the risky platform to go for (I waited until their Intel laptops, using Boot Camp as an insurance policy). But these days people have iPhones, iPads, some even have Apple TVs... the Apple hardware ecosystem is actually far stronger than Microsoft's. You absolutely are risking that syncing with your iPhone etc will be worse.

Let me plagiarize a reddit comment here:

America's LEOs may kill way people per capita, but our LEOs also get killed by people way more per capita. Even the most unhelpful lists of killings by police officers have an overwhelmingly common trend: "Officers arrived. Suspect drew gun. Suspect didn't drop gun when ordered to. Suspect pointed gun at officers. Officers opened fire." There are dozens or hundreds of people that are on killed-by-LEO lists only because they shot second.

Compare Canada to the US:
http://canada.odmp.org/year.php?year=2014&Submit=Go
https://www.odmp.org/search/year/2014

Similarly, if you look at Sweden's first-ever police killing from a few years ago, the story isn't about police dying heroically because they're sacrificing themselves rather than killing criminals. It's that they don't have to kill anybody because nobody needs to be killed in order to defend others. "Violent crime is almost non-existent there." No violent crime, no violent police. No problem.

So let's not blame officers. They're probably doing the best they can with a bad situation. Let's blame the politicians who criminalize everything, the socioeconomic system that screws with poor people's minds, the macho culture that drives gun nuttery and 'stand-your-ground' and 'fuck-tha-police' sentiments, and violence in general. Until we get rid of those we're not going to be able to fix the police because, for the most part, the police aren't broken.
Very skeptical of this idea. Were more than 10% of humans were in "extreme poverty" when we lived as hunter-gatherers? Were all humans in "extreme poverty" at that time?

"Extreme poverty" is caused when capitalism invades an area, appropriates all assets, and then the people basically either have to sell themselves into extremely-low-paid labor or starve.
