This is not how it works. The US and the EU use the WTO for bullying others.

Those treaties are a way of creating a legal framework that can't be altered by national governments. This is not happening against the governments but it's done by the governments to their populations.

This is not US against EU but corporations against people. The idea is to be sure that national governments can't vote against the interest of international business.

I stand by my statement that you are only "being argumentative by deciding to use your personal ideas of what majority/minority means, then complaining when others use a different definition."

If your proposal is what I think it is then, if not technically wrong, it is useless to the point where it can be discarded as a way to understand social issues. But as you haven't really given an idea of what your definition is, it's hard for me to really evaluate it. (How is it meaningful to say that the Althing is run by a minority?)

The decades of literature on the topic has a largely coherent use of what "social minority" means, with much discussion on what it means, including highlighting the distinction between numerical and social minority. For example, quoting from the UN at http://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Publications/MinorityRights_e... :

> In most instances a minority group will be a numerical minority, but in others a numerical majority may also find itself in a minority-like or non-dominant position, such as Blacks under the apartheid regime in South Africa.

You are also correct that is it partially subjective. Again, quoting from that document:

>It is often stressed that the existence of a minority is a
question of fact and that any definition must include both objective factors
(such as the existence of a shared ethnicity, language or religion) and
subjective factors (including that individuals must identify themselves as
members of a minority).

and

> The question often arises as to whether, for example, persons with
disabilities, persons belonging to certain political groups or persons
with a particular sexual orientation or identity (lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender or intersexual persons) constitute minorities. While the United
Nations Minorities Declaration is devoted to national, ethnic, religious and
linguistic minorities, it is also important to combat multiple discrimination
and to address situations where a person belonging to a national or
ethnic, religious and linguistic minority is also discriminated against on
other grounds such as gender, disability or sexual orientation.

and

> Similarly to minorities, there is no universally accepted international
definition of indigenous peoples.

But that is true of almost every social grouping. What is "Christian"?

That said, for the purposes of this census report, "minority" means "minorities as defined by the US government", and the definition is clear.

Instead, you're pointing to ambiguities on the edges and interpreting it as a problem with the core, when by all that I can tell, it's mostly a lack of willingness on your part to understand the topic.

Seriously? You're claiming that people don't have access because they don't care for the field?

> Many authors provide their papers, or at least the drafts on their web sites.

Many authors provide their papers/drafts on their websites, but many don't--not out of malice, but because it's hard to be a serious researcher and a serious website maintainer at the same time.

> Also many do gladly send copies if asked about them.

Many authors gladly send copies of things if asked about them, but many don't--again because a busy researcher can't spend all their time answering emails from strangers.

And neither publishing the data on a bunch of disparate websites nor responding to emails solves the problem of being able to search through papers for the one you need. I've definitely gone through the effort of following a bibliography reference, contacting the author, getting the paper two days later, and discovering from the abstract that the paper is solving a different problem than I thought.

Neither publishing the data on a bunch of disparate websites nor responding to emails solves the problem of researchers dying and all of that disappearing. I've run into this too: after trying to contact a researcher a few times to no avail, I learned he had died in a car accident. That's one paper I may never read.

> What I do agree, is that the majority of the working programmers I know couldn't care less, they don't even read blogs, books or follow sites like HN. Only when management says so.

That's not what the comment you're responding to said.

And even if it were true, you have to admit that there are still some industry programmers who want to read more papers: I'm one, and if you've read HN the last few days, you'd have found quite a few other industry programmers complaining about the lack of access. So I have to conclude:

> As a working programmer I get access to all the papers I want.

Either this is simply a lie, or you do not have as much access as you think you do.

May be there's less violence, but the amount of suffering has skyrocketed over the years. A more than significant amount of people are dependent on tranquilizers and anti-depressants to make their life bearable, because for them it has become mundane and meaningless without.

Statistiscs may tell a story of less violence, and people getting older and having more material possessions, but these do not reflect the actual well-being of people, and also these numbers don't show how much exploitation and environmental damage our alleged 'prosperity' causes in other parts of the world.

Hard Wired to Read Expressions
This guy > http://cdn.static-economist.com/sites/default/files/imagecac... < cannot possibly be Satoshi Nakamoto. He looks, feels, and smells like a conman. It only takes one red flag to question credibility and this guy has several.

1. Contradicts himself, privacy vs brokering a deal with major media outlets for a story.

2. Faking LinkedIn experience & degrees.

3. Associates believe he is 'crazy' and a 'conman'

4. Failed the writing syntax test comparing his multiple published works to the original posts and bitcoin paper and eventually...

5. ...Shifting blame or holes in his story towards the DEAD known people who've worked on Bitcoin or who had contact with Satoshi in the past.

6. SGI does not acknowledge him or his claimed statements regarding his relationship with SGI.

7. And I'm not going to go any further... the point is, he has too many 'excuses' for every little thing.

I understand he wants to be infallible and unchallenged in his claim, but just the number of alibis and excuses he dishes out, sans his questionable private-key proof, leaves a gut feeling that he's not Satoshi and smells of con.
If he is not the one he claims to be, why doesn't the real Satoshi send an email saying "hi, it is not him". There are only 2 answers.
a. It is him
b. The real Satoshi is dead and Mr. Wright knows so.

Unless he is extremely stupid, he would never risk claiming to be the most wanted man in the world, if he was not sure that no one could discredit him.

We don't need more signature here guys. We just need to decide who will play him in the upcoming Hollywood movie, cause he defies the stereotype of nerdy looking geek :-)

I'm sorry, but SJW movement is a cancer on the society, and it's way beyond issues of "equality" now. They're going out of their way in deploying underhanded tactics to destroy anyone who doesn't agree with their vision of "equality".

People who actually promote "equality and not being dick on the Internet" are usually known as "reasonable people", and their group is known as "civilization".
12 Qualities Your Next Chief Data Officer Should Have
Craig Wright signs genesis block
I've seen a lot of this recently yet I find myself using and enjoying Twitter and RSS more than ever, not saying it's wrong - but it is an interesting outlier if correct en mass.

It may not be obvious, and not everyone participating is aware of it, but there is a lot of parody going on in /r/the_donald. I think the prime motivation is disgust at how deeply political correctness has permeated our culture.

I think you're all missing the biggest flaw in Digg- lack of true conversation threading. When your comments have a max depth of 2, any sort of meaningful back-and-forth becomes impossible. For that reason, the comment sections on Digg were as worthless as comments on YouTube or Facebook. People fled to Digg because Slashdot's moderation kept the flow of new links to a trickle, but the conversations on Slashdot were much better. Then came Reddit with a nice comment system and open submission and everyone went there. Reddit was really nice when it was mostly just former slashdot people and other like-minded nerds, but then the hoi polloi who had caught on to Digg jumped ship to Reddit and the conversation has gone downhill ever since.

Perhaps if Reddit's comment moderation system were a little more sophisticated- Slashdot's Funny/Informative/Interesting/Etc and meta-moderation may seem a little cumbersome, but it definitely seems to have helped keep the conversation above a junior high level.

Hacker news ain't bad, either, mostly because the people who know about this place seem to be fairly intelligent and educated. The interface could maybe be a little better, but I can put up with it to read better, more informed comments.
Either Gavin was hacked, or he was possessed by aliens. Wright's original evidence was clearly unpersuasive (actually anti-persuasive). Now he has supposedly given secret evidence to more journalists in an attempt to have them vouch for the claim that Wright = Satoshi. If Wright wanted to convince technical people of his claims, he would publish the proof (simple enough to do). My hypothesis is that he doesn't need to convince anyone, except for the gullible banks that have provided credit based on his supposed bitcoin collateral (that he does not actually seem to possess).
Reddit is overwhelmingly "normal people". Mean spirited and "toxic" is normal people. Go look at twitter, and tumblr and facebook. They all have the same thing. These sites didn't chase normal people away, they attracted them.
Huh, I'd never thought of fiat currencies that way until now. One might say they're backed by your individual liberty (i.e. not paying your taxes with legal tender gets you thrown in jail).
Going to use HN for some quick market research... would anyone be willing to pay for a human curated news feed? Say $10 or $20 a month for someone to go through news sources and pick out the stories that will be interesting to you, and potentially summarize them?

I'm thinking of curation based on a personal relationship instead of an algorithm. You would indicate that you're interested in machine learning, libertarian politics and cooking (or whatever), and people would check hn, new york times, etc and compile lists of those items. I know it's not the same thing as this post, but it's a problem and I'm wondering if anyone else feels it strongly enough to pay for a solution.
A ZX80, ZX81 or ZX Spectrum.
OK, let's go to the facts:

1. A treaty is negotiated between the two major markets in the world.

2. We know that when this kind of treaties are passed is almost impossible to go back.

3. We know that the most important input to those treaties come from corporations.

4. The conversations happen in secret.

5. The democratic representatives are not allowed to read the treaty except in a hurry and without legal help.

6. Free trade is already a reality but, somehow, a wider treaty that create new tribunals where corporations can sue states is necessary.

You are right. No need for tinfoil conspiracies.
Berlin is jam-packed with undeveloped brown-field sites.

Get rid of the restrictions on height, and build 50 - 100 floors Hong Kong style, at least in the center.

Tempelhof shows the stupidity of the Berlin voter. The refusal to develop even a small part of the airfield was almost exclusively justified with fears of "gentrification". Congratulation voters, you have just voted yourself into higher rents. (Also, one could have a new "Volksbefragung", in the light of the dire need for more housing in Berlin.)
Simple. Satoshi owns millions of BTC. Anyone claiming to be Satoshi should just spend a small chunk of BTC from that initial block as a challenge response.

Journey on working open-source full time as indie developer
Reddit is incredibly, overwhelmingly left. Note the number of socialist and even communist subs, and their subscriber counts. The fact that a tiny minority of right wing people have taken up residence in an attempt to "fight back" does not make the site "overrun" with conservatives. And equating conservative with hateful is pretty disingenuous.

I'll take a bite. A currency that is backed by a powerful and stable state.

A state that enforces nearly constant but low inflation; a process by which money has to be invested and flow into an economic system in order to have a shot keeping the same value.

Unless the people already accept the value of the official currency, it is not practical for the government to use force to compel people to exchange in a particular currency. If and/or when people lose faith in the dollar, they will trade with other currencies, regardless of the government's position on the matter.

Bitcoin has already proven a boon to Cypriots and Greeks as their countries' economic systems have collapsed and had their deposits placed on lockdown. It has value as a global means of exchange that can't be artificially suppressed.

My personal belief is that the credibility of the dollar will fall through the floor as contemporary social issues like access to health care remain unaddressed. People will need another currency to exchange and bitcoin or another cryptocurrency will be the most ready, the most pertinent.

Paywalls are bad, and fortunately many of us are working towards open access for our research.

However, almost every paper I ever look for (published since 2000, say) is available for free on the web, usually on the author's web site. Searching google scholar will find just about everything. So I disagree that "research done in academia is closed to working programmers". If that was the case, then something like Papers We Love would never have even started.

Check out Mr. Money Mustache, /r/financialindependence, etc. Essentially, you save as aggressively as possible until you have at least 25x your living expenses saved and invested (and with compounding returns, this can be done relatively quickly with an aggressive savings rate). The rule of thumb is yoi can safely withdraw 4% of your savings a year, so at this point you are now financially independent. Of course, getting there requires some tough decisions about how you spend your money and time, and what tradeoffs are worth an earlier retirement date.
