Or maybe they do understand but simply do not agree with either the methods or the goal.

This goes well beyond drug dealers (and even then it is not the way).

Could not care less about whether or not he was clear about it. Wrong is still wrong.

> He was clear about it and he is delivering on that mandate. I have to accept, he has made a PR error by not calling them terrorists.

Hard to tell if you're sarcastic or not, going on the assumption that you're not.

> The fact is, you do not get radical progress pandering to western styled hypocritical democracy or "human rights".

No, you'll get progress by giving everybody a license to go out and kill anybody they don't like on a pretext. That's going to make life so much better.

> It's the reality. A harsh one. Of course, I will not be so "logical" if I happen to be at the receiving end of such needed reform. But hey.. it's what life is.

It need not be. And if you're already hedging your position then I guess you too understand that this is not a solution, only more trouble.

> I am speaking like a man living in a country where some not so nice things will be needed to be done if we are going to ever progress.

Mass murder of citizens is never 'progress'. Especially not if the context is a corrupt police force that makes other avenues less likely to work. Then you go and fix the police force, you don't hand out a 'license to kill' to the population at large.
I think thats really a german thing. Swiss media regularly makes fun of you because your society feels so disconnected to the politics.

IMO if the majority of the society does not agree, it is also their fault if they still let it happen. Its (some kind of) democracy after all.
Addicts are humans, too. We're not talking about killing an addict in self-defense. We're talking about being explicitly told to seek out and murder addicts.

Do you not see any moral problem with that?

The biggest realized risk seems to have been Germanwings Flight 9525. A suicidal co-pilot waited until the Captain left the cockpit. Then he locked the door and flew the plane into the side of a mountain.

Thank you for correcting me, delroth.
Ok, let's look at this on an even playing field, which should be very doable with the atrocities befalling the US and somewhat indiscriminate killing of African Americans.

Note: I'm not American and don't live in the US.

African Americans have been killed by police, imprisoned as almost a racial policy (often resulting from petty drug offenses). So let's say there are an equal number of people killed on each side. 30 African American's in the past week (not true, but let's just make it simple) and 30 Philippine Drug Dealers.

Two wrongs. Why is America better? It is attempting to face the tragedy and stop the killing.

In the Phillipines, what is preventing somebody from killing their neighbor, and saying "he was a drug addict" with no evidence?

What 'radical progress' are you expecting from the killing of drug addicts? Unless, you consider a pile of dead bodies 'progress'. If the Phillipines were 'drug free', would that be 'radical progress'? If so, how? How would it change the rest of the country? The lives of the people?
Have you thought about working in a shared screen session for code editing, with a parallel chat client for interactivity. Voice is just too low SNR for code.

Yes, so let's go kill a bunch of people, instead of reforming the police force.

To summarize most of these graphs: there's currently a significant increase in bad things, but overall there has been a downward trend for decades.
You expressed two opinions opposing the statement of parent. You expressed no reasoning behind those opinions.
I don't want to be euphemistically. But i've seen several public interviews of all of them where they justified killing people they claimed to be terrorists. While numbers showed that a majority are actually civil victims.

You can not really compare that, but i honestly think thats even worse. At least officially the philippines only kill THEIR PEOPLE people that damage THEIR society.
> As usual, mostly western commentators sitting on their high horses pointing and pontificating with no idea of local context or understanding.

Pray tell, what context justifies arbitrary lynchings, summary executions, extrajudicial capital punishment, and an overall disrespect for human life?

Perhaps it's the view from the high horse I'm sitting on, but when I look throughout europe I don't see nations with major drug problems, and they haven't fixed any problems they had with assassinations.

Could you please provide any insight on what makes this sort of rampant uncivilized behaviour necessary or even remotely justified?

I typically have used either Beamer (what I currently use) or Prosper (what I used to use) document classes in LaTeX for my slides and have since probably the 90s. For me, the big thing with using LaTeX is that I can get consistent fonts between the equations on my slides and the symbols in my figures since I draw my figures using LaTeX in some way (usually TikZ or Sketch[0]). Plus, I can have my figures under source control in a manner that supports simple diffs.

That's exactly what every big war nation does, except usually OUTSIDE their own country, with people they have no relation with.

Not saying it's good, but if a country decides to kill its own people to fix some problems, that is somehow suddenly a huge topic while other nations invade other countries and kill more civilians than terrorists?

I understand JunoCam is a public outreach tool. But if it provides much worse resolution than Hubble from inside Jupiter's orbit, it's basically useless even for that.

That's what you get from a solar powered probe. We waste billions of dollars and unique opportunities because some people have gotten in their minds that RTG power is evil and dangerous. NASA even canceled the ASRG, based on the Stirling engine, which was 5 times more efficient in terms of radioactive material and would have allowed powering probes for the whole solar system.

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/hedonism/

"Psychological or motivational hedonism claims that only pleasure or pain motivates us. Ethical or evaluative hedonism claims that only pleasure has worth or value and only pain or displeasure has disvalue or the opposite of worth."

I'm mainly concerned with the second category, since the first is more of a question for psychology and neuroscience. Anyway, you're constructing a false ideal. Even if we use Google's poorly defined and colloquial version of hedonism, the more representative real world examples are cases of pain avoidance, overeating, risky behavior, gambling/shopping addiction, and so on.

Exactly. If we were discussing Harry Potter lore I would treat those books the same way. I honestly don't see any meaningful distinction between religions and fandoms of other creative works (except maybe that fewer people have been killed in the name of Harry Potter).

That said, I was really just making a witty remark. I have no reason to treat biblical accounts as factual (especially given the long and complex history of why biblical canon is what it is and the unreliability of narrators with questionable identities who weren't even alive at the time of the events they're describing).

The direct speech of Jesus in the bible is not necessary the literal word of Jesus of Nazareth the (possible) historical person, but under various interpretations of Christianity it is the literal word of Jesus Christ, the (fictional) character in the biblical narrative. The only difference is that Christians generally seem to think the biblical character is an exact description of the historical person -- for which there doesn't seem to be any reliable basis.
>It's a stupid, petty argument that is continuously peddled by figures in non-Western countries as a justification for doing whatever they like.

Thomas, you may not not realise you have just written a one line thesis for the justification of colonialism.

Of course, you most likely do not think in such nasty terms however, that is the translation.

Are you/your ways superior to the people that voted him to do EXACTLY what he is doing? You called his one week old government "totalitarian". Forgetting he was elected for a 6 year term. Is that system they like stupid and petty too? Or should they come take instructions from you? Your country?
Violence seldom leads to anything productive. Crime at the level in Philippines is not there because there are a few bad apples. It's because there are structural reasons which drive crime. Sadly, in Philippines case the only method to put a permanent end on the crimelords would be to petition legalization of drugs in UN.

> ... and neither of them is going to openly do stupid drastic things like telling civilians to murder other people in the streets.

Sure, that's valid. But while I'm no fan of Hillary, she is, as you said, cold and calculating, which I posit as the major difference between the two. Trump is hotheaded and impulsive, and while we'll never see him (knock on wood) condone senseless killing in the street, he HAS expressed a plethora of outlandish statements (later retracted), so little out of his mouth surprises me.

This does not oppose your description of the two, other than Trump can say ~anything, Hillary won't.
Tesla's autopilot behavior after a crash is terrible. It doesn't stop. In the semitrailer crash, the vehicle continued under power for several hundred feet

Are we sure it continued under power? The Tesla is a heavy vehicle, with weight centred close to the ground. Momentum could easily have carried it several hundred feet after a high speed collision.
I suspect that very few murderers study the murder case solve rate in their local area before murdering someone they hold a grudge against.

On the other hand, if the President of a country says to kill drug dealers and addicts, quite a few people will go ahead and do that, thinking that it's now justified.
Point remains that the differential between internal and external pressure is far greater at 29k ft. than 12k ft.
Doesn't make it any less relevant. I'm still arguing with people who are convinced it's 'gif' not 'jif'.

I prefer 'jif' as that's how I've always said it, right back to when it was originally invented. However, the pronunciation makes no sense, as it stands for Graphics Interchange Format. the word 'graphics' starts with a soft-g, so why isn't it pronounced 'gif' then?

One reason, I imagine, Facebook made this choice as a company is to increase the amount of real estate their apps have on the app store and 'top 10 most popular apps' lists, similar to how companies strive for top listings and more real estate on search engine results pages.

Between Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger, I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook's apps occupy 30% of most top-10 lists.
And killing a large number of people is going to turn the country into a civilized place with police protection?

If you're not safe in your own homes because of the drug lords you don't have a drug lord problem, you have a law enforcement problem and a corruption issue.

The problem is nobody is willing to pay $30 - $40 for a mobile game. Even in the top 100 paid apps the most expensive game is minecraft which is priced at 6.99€. The only way a true pokemon mobile game can happen is with in-app purchases which results in bad incentives for the developers.
I do not know about any posters on this thread, but in general when a country undergoes a revolution, the families of former elites flee (generals, the wealthy, etc).

There's a report on electrek.co somewhere showing a google map of the crash site and where the car ended up. The car ended up a quarter mile down the road and had passed through a fence or two and some grass. There's also a report somewhere of a driver who says he made the same turn as the truck and followed the car as it continued down the road. Seems like it was under power. NHTSA, NTSB or Tesla could confirm with the data.
The "Autopilot" (aka Lane Assist) of my VW does that. If you don't get your hands on the wheel after it wants you to do (which is about 10-15s) and after a first warning it will hit the brakes with a lot of power for the fraction of a second.

So it's not actually stopping but giving you a clear signal that you should do something and would wake you up if you fell asleep. I don't know if it will come to a stop if you also ignore this warning, because it's not something you want to test with other participants on the road behind you.

I think that's the important difference: This system actively disencourages the driver from fully relying on the system while Teslas implementation does not seem to do it.
New T-shirt brand (Skully and friends)
Hi,
I released new T-shirt brand 'Skully & friends' together with the corresponding online shop. What makes this brand stand out from the others lies in our designers. These are children. Imagination, creativity and playfulness of children knows no boundaries and rules and this is what adults want to wake up in their lives. For this reason our designs are in fact children's scribblings. They were simple yet intriguing. Strange yet funny.

Another special feature of this brand is that we encouraging our customers to take active part in the brand 'Skully & friends' by collecting of children's drawings. That scribbles becoming our potential new designs.

So please check it out. I'm open to all comments and critiques, so let me hear them.

Stay cool.

The US military kills "terrorists" abroad, in a war zone. If the US were giving its citizens carte blanche rights to label fellow citizens "terrorists" and execute them on behalf of the government, then your analogy would make sense. But as it stands, this is a wholly different situation from drone strikes, as reprehensible as they may be.
The biggest kickers for Apple were:

a) Sensible means of payment, no need to setup credit card processing, do deals with carriers etc for developers. Oh and no carrier lockdown on installing applications.

b) Macs going x86 based so you could develop for Windows / Linux and Apple all on the one box.

Basically Apple managed to make it possible for small dev shops to work on the iPhone without spending huge amounts of cash AND get money from consumers.
The best source I know of on early iPhone is the Nitin Ganatra episodes of the Debug Podcast [0]. He was in charge of the early iOS apps from before the iPhone shipped so he talked about those days. Those podcasts and the ones he did with Don Melton (former head of Safari team at Apple) are all excellent for getting insight into behind the scenes at Apple.

I hesitate to comment on topics like this for fear of coming across as ignorant, but I find myself very conflicted over this subject.

I am a huge advocate for privacy and am strongly against unnecessary surveillance by governments and companies. On the other hand, if the evidence is compelling it seems a waste to discard it.

It's a hard question - do you think about the bigger picture: protect human rights by setting a precedence
Or do you think think about the short term: convict a dangerous criminal.

In a more hypothetical scenario, if a dangerous serial killer was brought into court and there was only one compelling piece of evidence, but it was obtained in an extremely unlawful manner - what would a judge be expected to do?
