What is the standard for "democratically legitimated"?

Like what if there is some group that is a substantial portion of a population and they decide to force their will on a smaller portion of the population. Say it gets severe. Does their larger number legitimize their actions?

Or does it mean something else?

For your aside, I don't think it's true. Search engine makers are well aware that language usage is what it is, and not what the thesaurus or grammar book says it is. Unfortunately, using machine learning to work out synonyms means you're going to miss out on minority usages, such as specialized academic jargon, or communities with millions of speakers which have slang and conversational grammar unlike "standard" English.

Had a crack in one of my shifters and one of the pulley wheels (plastic) of the rear derailleur was broken.

The crack in the shifter was more of a cosmetic issue, but the pulley wheel had to be replaced immediately.

The rear derailleur has a steel guard. Without it, the derailleur probably wouldn't have survived this.

This is why I believe we are the root cause. We, developers and tech aware. Your mentioned 1%.

This isn't about agencies or governments or even corporations anymore. It's about our work ethics. Developer ethics.

We babble around the internet about all the things we defend, but we don't even try not to embed Analytics in our clients websites.

We fear for the future, for the abuse of the technological systems, yet those under the dark robe of the NSA and others are readers of this same vehicle. They are here.

People call RMS radical and so many other things, but isn't history proving him right in many of his deviations? Heading for total disaster, yes we are.

We, the ones who built and delivered computers and the internet to the world, are doing a job for corporations and not for users. If you're paid, you put your tail between your legs and comply.

This is about changing our developer attitude, our developer community. Maybe only we understand the battlefield, but still the fight is our hands now. We must protect those we love and those we have never met. We must stand up and fight the fight for them, just the way we expect a doctor to have built the knowledge and to act ethically when taking care of us, just like we expect a civil engineer to build stuff with quality and respect for our well being, we must also act honorably like that, even if it means we loose money.

The developer community, hidden behind screens, have been bought by the big man money, and act to the people as blind policemen throwing bombs at the demanding population.

If you have other killer features in the trial then just provide discounts for parts (say $19 during the trial) and remove the dark pattern instead of removing trials all together. I actually do need this service now and $29 per part is a drop in the bucket, especially since a lot of parts I need have nonstandard footprints. I can check and correct a footprint against a datasheet much faster than I can draw it so there's little risk to my deadline but the trial dark pattern is very off putting even if $300 is nothing compared to revenue. I'd love a service like this but it won't save me more than 2-4 days of work during a 2-3 month long contract so soft concerns like this can easily keep me from paying for a product.

This part of what you said:

"It's no longer a fallacy when the appeal to authority (argument from authority) involves an actual authority."

is not true.

The right thing to say would have been "It is no longer a fallacy when the authority making the claim provides enough convincing evidence to make the claim valid, with or without an authority", if that's indeed what you meant to say.

But that's not what you said, and so I stand by my assertion that what you said is not true.

We have the original post in this thread of interest saying (paraphrasing): "The article has no substance, so the claim is it making could be made by anyone. The article is not useful and the claim is not substantiated".

Then we have a reply: "Elcomsoft is an authority on the topic so their claim should be stronger than if anyone else made it".

This is where I said it looks close to an appeal to authority.

But you then came in and said "when there's an actual authority there is no longer an appeal to authority".

Which is not true.

I mean, how can there be an appeal to authority with no authority? That's like saying there's a car accident with no car.
Thought experiment: for sufficiently fragile & expensive products, attach a small black-box style "smart tag" equipped with a accelerometers. It's reset when yielded to the shippers, and read when the shipment is delivered. If the recorded accelerations are out of bounds (e.g. beyond the shipper's SLAs, beyond packaging standards, etc.), then there's ready evidence of shipper abuse.

It sure would. When "their best" is some tradeoff between speed and care.

If the workers treat every single package as if it were a Ming Dynasty vase, then their throughput will drop through the floor and that won't be their best.

If they treat every single package as if it were a box of rocks, then their breakage rate will skyrocket. That also won't be their best.

Putting the TV on the side of the box tells the worker to slide the scale closer to avoiding breakage and away from moving fast.

My guess is that it it was still a low percentage, but that this was still worth the change. And, it would have been immeasurable at the scale you were talking about.

I dislike the lack of zoning in Houston. It means you want to buy a home, but it's right next to a strip club, so it ruins the deal. You want to live in a nice and expensive neighborhood, but then a developer comes in and builds a 6 story apartment building right next to your two story house. And the lack of zoning means the traffic on the street of that apartment complex becomes horrific because there's now twice as many people living on that block.

You see a lot of mixed-income neighborhoods in Houston - places where people are building $700,000 homes where 80% of the same street are 1000 square foot shacks with people living in them making $20k a year. Luckily for them, their lots are worth half a million dollars. I don't know if this is the result of the lack of zoning, but I don't see this happening in other cities in Texas, so I have to think it's somehow related.

> but refuse to answer calls from numbers that aren't in their address book.

I do that. If I don't know the number and that person really wants to talk to me, there is my answer machine where he/she can leave a message. I will never answer a call from a number I do not know, whatever the reason. If it is urgent, the person has to leave a message, so I can call him/her back. Why ? because I get spammed X times a day with numbers from unknown origins. The worst is masked numbers off course.

I don't think it is unprofessional on face value. In fact, every 'professional (what does that even mean)' I have known curses.

If all you do is curse and never explain an idea, then it is simply a defense mechanism to not knowing what you're talking about. But, cursing is a great to way provide extra emotion to a topic. "The user experience is bad" vs. "The user experience is shit" does add value. But use shit, and if you add steaming pile on there really conveys that it is not just bad, but worse than bad.

This is the watch that apple should have built, with a touch-rotation (or physical) bezel rather than a crown, which is too fiddly.

They should have build WatchOS from the ground up on a circular/rotational concept, embracing form factor as a distinct form, rather than trying to do iPhone-on-your-wrist.

Missed opportunity, as this watch shows.

This point is often lost in the debate over income and wealth. A public school teacher who starts working at 25 y/o and retires 30 years later at 55 y/o with a relatively modest $60k/year pension benefit has effectively retired with a pension value of $1.3 million (using current lifetime annuity rates). Two public school teachers married to each other with a paid-for $500k home (but zero other savings or assets) effectively have a household net worth of $3.1 million. Government retirees with 'high 3' pensions are the every day millionaire next door types of modern society. I know many of them with multi-million dollar pension values and yet most feel solidly working class because it took them decades to earn the pension benefit and all they see is the monthly check.

1) Don't check email when waking up. Wait until noon. And check email only twice a day. Say in your email signature that you usually check your email twice daily, so people know what to expect.

2) Meditate.

3) Configure your phone to be in airplane mode or do not disturb as much as you can get away with it. Definitely when you sleep, but also for other times in the day.

4) Don't read news on weekdays. Save articles people send to you on Pocket, and subscribe to no more than 5 newsletters that you read only on the weekends. At the end of the weekend delete what you haven't read at https://getpocket.com/privacy_clear

I'm looking for formal rules. I'm not saying AAVE doesn't exist, I'm saying its rules (such as they are) are not formalized. Tons of rule books exist for Standard English and part of learning it is to memorize the correct rules. I don't believe any formal equivalent exists for AAVE.

>Do you think written Standard English is less ambiguous than any other English

Definitely. Things are clearer when you write formally and strictly adhere to grammatical rules. When I'm speaking casually I omit words and (ab)use punctuation much differently, and while that is perfectly acceptable to do, it is more complex and ambiguous to parse.

As far as I'm aware the same pattern exists in a lot of languages and dialects, and it's possible to define formal AAVE too.

Shoshana Zuboff (retired Harvard prof) is writing a book on this topic, due next year. She spoke at a 2014 conference, http://davidcharles.info/2014/10/shoshana-zuboff-reality-nex...

"If the people are not Google’s customers and they are not Google’s employees, then what does Google need people for? Only one thing: data. “Data is becoming everything,” Shoshana says. “The ugly truth here is that this so called ‘big data’ is plucked from our lives without our knowledge and without our informed consent.” This big data, which Shoshana calls ‘big contraband’ or ‘big stolen goods’, is sucked from our social media, from our smartphones, from our every networked click, type and touch ... "In the shadow of the dark Google, it has become fashionable to mourn the passing of democracy,” Shoshana concludes. “But if we leave behind democracy, we leave behind the best part of ourselves.”

As with virtually all things, people need to be burned before they learn a lesson, and I mean... most people need to be burned. I think that things like the Yahoo hack that theoretically effect half a billion people, but which most people will not even notice just reinforces apathy.

Then there's the nightmare that people go from, "Well this isn't my problem..." to "...Well in any case, I'm powerless to change it." in half a second. Educating people doesn't help if they're unwilling to actually take steps to protect themselves.

As for legislation, people don't try to force their government to pass a budget, or hold them accountable for something like the Iraq war... it's madness to think they'd spend a scrap of effort for something as nebulous as privacy.

Which is why we're all deeply screwed.
Your statement is lacking in a few ways, so to correct you in simple terms...

a database contains data that can be deleted and/or overwritten. Other than examining changelogs and reverting changes according to 'external requirements', a database is a non-auditable pot of changeable information. A blockchain cannot be re-written without a "hard fork" of the network that makes it exist. It is that simple. Consequently,you can also easily audit a blockchain or any part (wallet) of it. To audit a database is not impossible, but auditing a ledger is entirely simpler.

Banking people throw "blockchain" around as a buzzword without necessarily understanding the total difference in the way they operate compared to databases. The fact that the blockchain is a ledger is best demonstrated to them by the notion that a printed bank statement is a 'de facto' ledger of the transactions on a single account. Banks have always told customers that keeping printed (usually monthly) statements is how a permanent record is kept of your transactions. This is because they routinely wipe system transactions to avoid the storage and security costs of keeping a copy of the data. I have bank statements on paper going back to my very first bank account and transaction. They take up a great deal of physical space, but they do represent a permanent and uncontestable history of my finances. They are my personal paperblockchain. If only banks had been willing to keep everyone's transaction data in perpetuity then I wouldn't have boxes of paper in my attic. But that would be hugely impractical and costly. Blockchains for every account are feasible, but not on the horizon given the state of current cryptography and the huge data costs.

Banks trying to get into blockchain tech are only looking at high level intra-bank functionality, which would be well served by a new system, especially given that they don't trust each other but have historically agreed that they should, and pragmatism has cemented the system. A new system is absolutely needed.

rebranding is hardly the point. Blockchains exist as something entirely novel and challenging to legacy database structures. The folders you refer to - do you mean cryptocurrency wallets? The wallets where people can be their own bank? They are just blockchain 1.0 btw.

I second the speed requirement. The most I've ever spent is an hour on making a schematic symbol and two hours for a footprint, both when I was very inexperienced with Altium and using a ~500 pin part. Now that I'm comfortable with Altium's IPC templates and batch editing features (you can pull up a copy pastable spreadsheet that allows you to quickly edit all shapes on a footprint without the UI), even the most complex parts take under a half hour. $29 is nothing for 20 min of work but depending on your workflow, waiting a day is unacceptable. I can rarely predict the kind of part swapping that will happen before PCB layout so footprints are the first step that has to happen in the first few days after schematic capture. Since the footprints are a blocking concern for part placement, I don't have much patience especially on a deadline since I can just draw all the parts myself while waiting for the first footprint to come in.

The other problem is that the vast majority of professional engineers check the footprints meticulously before fabrication even if they made the footprint for a previously successful project. It only takes a day or two and must be done regardless so it removes a lot of the added value InstaPart can provide.

Although most of this doesn't apply to the more hobbyist market, they generally aren't willing to pay $29 for anything let alone a single footprint.
