To me this goes back to the issue of having a reasonable expectation of privacy.

As others have pointed out, if I am in a public place and someone snaps a photo of me or a surveillance camera records my actions, I generally can't argue this was an unreasonable invasion.

I'm certain legal scholars are well-versed in the technicalities of expectations of privacy, but I do wonder if we will face new challenges in this area as the number of pervasively connected and recording devices increases.
Of course the government of SA didn't have to renounce violence, which is the way they dealt with any resistance. Violence, torture, intimidation. Refusal to negotiate.

Of course we don't call the Apartheid government "terrorists" for these crimes.

He was not a communist, but an African nationalist. This is something he has always maintained and was confirmed when he became president, the national economic policy was pretty much neoliberal. The reason why he remained close to the communists is because they were sympathetic to his cause and lent a lot of support.
There was a militant group in Greece that did that vigilante-style (since the Greek government refused / was unable to carry out any kind of prosecutions), "17 November", named after the date of an uprising [1] against the CIA-supported military government. They successfully assassinated the Athens CIA station chief (the only time a CIA station chief has been killed on duty), and promptly got labeled a terrorist organization. Arguably they did actually become one later, when they broadened their assassination campaign to a broad range of prominent Greek figures rather than the early focus on only targeting intelligence agents (both American ones and their Greek contacts). But early on they were very popular, because people like Richard Welch [2] were seen by many Greeks as legitimate military targets.

In what twisted mind is communism an acceptable proposition???
That's not true, Cuba is egalitarian, to a far greater degree than the Soviet Union was. Revolutionary Spain was very egalitarian. The Soviet Union can't really be called socialist, it was more of a totalitarian dictatorship.
I know this may sound flip, but as far as innovation goes the Chinese* have not invented anything since gunpowder. Of course SV, is much more than just innovation: it's access to financing and technical and sales talent. Along these dimensions, Beijing may represent a competitive threat.

*only those based in China. Chinese people freed from strictures of autocracy, colonialism, communism, and kleptocracy have made great innovations.

It's only the appearance of social-democracy that matters in Europe. It doesn't matter which party is in power, as long as policy is broadly neo-liberal and not too aggressively anti-corporate.

When someone like Jeremy Corbyn appears and challenges or threatens that consensus, you immediately get a determined media campaign to smear and undermine him - while barking mad racist demagogues are treated as serious political representatives without being questioned or challenged in the same ways.

I know what you mean, but what is interesting is that serious, new vs. old work, does not always correlate with a nice front end, or how it looks. Although, I have been following PicoLisp for years, and the site was just redone to look more modern. Didn't matter, since PicoLisp stands on its own for people who are interested in such a thing. The mailing list is direct and archived on at least two mail archival sites [1].

I also like J [2], and the Google Group gets less traffic than the individual direct email lists.

As long as I can communicate, and stay current, I really don't care if the site looks good, as long as it is easy to navigate with old styling.

That's just it, isn't it? What makes it clearly superior? (BTW, I'm not arguing it isn't.)

Linux supports quite a lot of different workloads on quite a lot of different hardware. Looking for the best possible performance while ensuring reliability is a very big task and a very big responsibility not to be taken lightly by stereotyping kernel maintainers as some villains looking to make victims out or poor, well-intentioned, contributors.

Also, arguing that contributors don't have the means to go through a public review process intended to result in better code doesn't really add much credibility to the original code, does it? (Not saying that's the case with BFQ either.)

There have been many instances in the past where "clearly superior" patches ended up having pathological behavior for many workloads. Something that would only be discovered after impacting a lot of users if it weren't for the review processes in place. Some of these were merged anyway (but not made default) while some others didn't prove to provide enough improvement (even in the cases they optimize for) to justify the extra bloat.
It should be simpler, and easier, than having to do "good." The situation since the creation of the CIA is that it is the armed international branch of money politics. Just getting corporatism out of the CIA and getting its activities aligned with the national interest would be an enormous improvement.

I actually took an Esperanto class when I was a kid. I'm old now, so that was a long time ago, and it never went anywhere in all the intervening years. I have now learned a tonal Asian language and I don't see how Esperanto would ever be adopted by people who speak such languages.

How to swim: Growing up in Australia, a country that is surrounded by ocean naturally means a lot of time spent at the beach. Learning at any early age how to swim without any flotation devices, while fully clothed and how to get out of a rip enabled me to have a lot of fun at the beach/pools without causing my parents anxiety.

How ride a bike: I was fortunate enough to have my parents teach me how to ride (without training wheels) at the age of 2. From around the age of 8, I was able to explore the city with friends and organise our own activities without having to rely on parents to drive us to and from each other's houses.

A second (or third) language: I'm not fluent in any languages other than English, but I've seen how many opportunities/experiences can come from being able to communicate with someone with a different culture. Ideally I'd like for my children to learn a second language alongside English (There's a huge benefit to learning a second language at a young age compared to one that is 'translated' from one's mother tongue).

There isn't anything intrinsically wrong with communism as an ideal. All of its implementations, however, have been seriously lacking, and perhaps it is unviable in practice; this does not mean the concept is unacceptable in theory.

"Gregory Douglas" has written a number of conspiracy-theory books that encompass Holocaust revisionism and JFK assassination theories; he is widely believed to be the nom de plume of Peter Stahl, who is also believed to have forged wartime Nazi documents and disseminated them to historians. It's all a bit of a rabbit hole, but the upshot is that there's very little reason to believe anything he writes.
Well, the founder brings up the issue of accuracy: he developed his own cartography, as he found the available sources full of errors.

Let's assume that a developer wants to distribute a binary build of their application that uses the OpenSSL library that runs on every GNU/Linux system released in the last 5 years. As you might know, OpenSSL releases a new ABI-incompatible version of their library every other year or so, and so there are at least 3 different OpenSSL ABIs / SONAMEs available in the distributions the binary build should run on.

So far the only choices available (edit: for desktop applications) are either static linking OpenSSL, or abandon the idea of distro independent binaries.

With FlatPak, OpenSSL can be bundled in the runtime, so multiple applications can depend on the same runtime and share one dynamic library, and benefit from the runtime getting security updates for the monthly OpenSSL CVEs instead of doing that themselves.
Uber/didi are still technically illegal for China airport pickup, and operate in a very legal grey zone, it makes sense that the software would lack that POI artificially. There are ways around it, but local knowledge, at least some Chinese skills, is needed to get around it.

The taxi queue at BJS is quite reasonable most of the time, so I don't bother with didi.

But this is why doing biz can be hard in China, so many business models operate in grey zones while the government lets them go on while swinging a huge axe over their head. As another example, did you know electric tricycles are illegal throughout the entire country? And China's whole new goods delivery businesses are built around these....

I think you are completely wrong about this. There is plenty of evidence to indicate that "shadow groups" of varied interests that sometimes align and sometimes dont, are often pulling the strings of "public puppets". Your view, while common, (especially in the academic world where conspiracy is avoided like the plague) doesnt seem to reflect reality.

The conspiratorial view of history is the correct one.

I think to really understand what the CIA is doing today you need to look at its history and how it came about after World War II. Created by Truman as a central office for all of the intelligence to be collected by the multitude of spy agencies the US had, started as a small office. By 1963, Truman wrote an op-ed about how it had become the foreign policy arm of the US with no oversight.

Link to op-ed: http://tinyurl.com/hstheus

Congressional oversight of the CIA didn't begin until the Hughes-Ryan act of 1974. This act slowed down the cloak and dagger activities of the organization but never eliminated them.

Didi is great if you can speak a bit of Chinese. I've had a decade of perfecting my taxi driver Chinese though (since I seem to only use Chinese to talk to taxi drivers these days).

Across human history, it's probably 10,000 BC to the present era. Within that period, the sliver of time occupied by the Second Industrial Revolution, as a catalyst for accelerating growth and progress henceforth, hasn't yet been bettered by any other period for the scale of its impact.
That is a perfectly legitimate query. I would expect to find all manner of historical documents. Further, it does not matter what a document says. Claiming to be not for public release doesn't make it a crime to release it. The only possible exception here is for national secrets, but even then many exceptions have been made.
Because well-written content and thorough investigation has to be paid for somehow. If it's worth reading, it's worth paying for IMHO. (I assume you do not work for free, either.)
You are clearly incompetent about the subject. The "ideal" of communism and the practice of communism are not two different things. Communism is practiced precisely the way it is theoretically intended to work.

Communism is a cleptocratic system of ruling and exploiting the manual labour and natural resources of any given territory inhabited by unambitious masses that largely lack individualism. The core of the system relies on individualism and personal achievement being punished and forcefully suppressed, while the masses are continuously promised vague ideals of equality and justice (much like with any other system of government - nothing innovative here. ) There is nothing acceptable about communism - not in theory, not in practice, not in ideals - nothig.
China's environment is ruined in the pursuit of cheap goods, which considering weren't really as cheap as China sold them for.

And we know what happened next....
> Of course we don't call the Apartheid government "terrorists" for these crimes.

Almost everyone agrees that the Apartheid government was horrible. Almost no one holds them up as a positive example.

Conversely, almost everyone holds Mandela and his terrorist organization up as an example and as a hero despite them intentionally setting off bombs in civilian locations like shopping malls and restaurants.
Bee loss worsens as 44 percent of colonies disappear last year
No, it's definitely primarily about censorship. This is a one-party rule system...the party sets all of the policies at will, and their main goal is to keep themselves in power. The economy is merely a tool for them to keep themselves in power. Censorship and control of the media is a more powerful tool to keep themselves in power. They are much more worried about information flow than they are about protecting some tiny Chinese internet companies. That's not the mentality in China -- the mentality is..."let's help the big guys."

You're misrepresenting the real situation - China is the US's 3rd largest export partner, and we export over $200B of goods, and much more in services to China per year, which is greater than the GDP of silicon valley. Trump is proposing that we stop all of that, which will lead to a depression.
That wasn't unique to the US though - the Soviets also took ex-Nazi scientists to work for them as did the UK.

In case you are a casual observer or are new to Scheme and are wondering why this might be particularly important to the language, wikipedia explains:

"The R6RS standard has caused controversy because it is seen to have departed from the minimalist philosophy [of scheme]. In August 2009, the Scheme Steering Committee ... announced its intention to recommend splitting Scheme into two languages: a large modern programming language for programmers, and a subset of the large version retaining the minimalism praised by educators and casual implementors;"[1]

Perhaps the history of Scheme standardization itself has something to teach us about the challenges and rewards of openly balancing a wide range of interests and agendas over the long term?

This clickbait article is going to cause people to think the government was just spying on everyone everywhere for no other reason than just to spy on you. Another "distrust the damn government" article that further divides people against others.
Agreed - the pre-1994 ANC was clearly more complex than just being a puppet of the Soviet Union.

However, despite the CIA's (perhaps counter-productive) interference, it is a common misconception that the ANC's violent struggle forced the capitulation of the Apartheid government. I believe Mandela's arrest had little to nothing to do with how things played out. MK was outmatched by the government's security forces, and as long as the world wanted our gold, this could have continued indefinitely. It is tragic, but, those who gave their lives in the struggle did so only to maintain the threat of all-out civil war. Instead, what determined South Africa's future was the west's reluctant imposition of sanctions (not co-incidentally, just as the Soviet Union was falling apart).

I'm convinced that the end of Apartheid was negotiated between the nats and the West. The government knew that they were going to run out of money, in which case the ANC would become a real threat. The US first forced them to destroy their nuclear arsenal, and then the CODESAs followed as the public face of negotiation, but I suspect the actual terms of the transition was decided largely by world powers and the ANC was given instructions.

I sense a lot of outrage from Americans on this CIA/Mandela thing, but look at it this way: the US did eventually end Apartheid in a way that didn't create another Cuba, while simultaneously disarming bunch of white guys with nukes who were convinced that it was their God-given right to wield them.

The Lisp version is less verbose because it's dynamically typed (in other words, it's less verbose because it contains less information that would allow this code to be proven correct).

By the way, these days, we write things like

val l = ArrayList<String>()

If verbosity is your number one criterion to write your code, just skip all error checking and your code will become super concise.
