Socialism and Communism has always been led by intellectuals. Marx was hardly a member of the proletariat for example.

Additionally this is overall hardly a European phenomenon. People tend to associate mostly with people similar to themselves, especially when it comes to education which correlates to income and jobs.

The education system reinforces this strongly in most countries. In the US this begins as early as starting school based on which school (district) the parents can afford. In Germany you have Students being separated by education level after primary school (4th grade). If you go to university you might almost never interact with people with a different education level, apart from family or the people you buy stuff from.

I'd also wonder just how many of those 48% that don't like the EU, would miss what the EU offers. I'd wager most not just don't know what it offers but don't even really know what exactly is bad about it.
Thanks a lot for this longer answer, I fully agree that the sectarian war is far from enough to explain all the interests colliding, I've mentioned other very important players before too.

Do you have some specific links or sites that you can recommend for maintaining the balanced view of the events? It's not easy to read between the lines of all the propaganda present.

I am faving this comment. Huxley was a true visionary.

However I dont agree with the "...new kind of non-violent totalitarianism..."
Our democracies are non-violent only if you obey. Otherwise they use violence and force to lock you up. Most people in prisons are there for victimless crimes like drugs. That is not a non-violent system in my opinion.

Except that cases are hardly rare where a small minority party becomes crucial for forming a government and winds up wielding power far beyond its numerical support among the population. And its not rare for countries to be unable to form a government for months or even years.

Imagine party A has 23%, party B has 28%, and party C has 49%. Party A and B join forces; they decide per consensus on how they would vote in parliament. Since they have together 51% and vote as one, they don't need to consult party C, even though it's the party with the most votes.

We have again a situation where 51% crushes the 49%.

Unlike Homebrew, APT manages the entire system - from bootloader to browser. It is designed to work in multi-user environments where you don't want 40 different users installing 40 different copies of the same program, not updating them, getting viruses from unpatched software, and ruining the well behaving user's day.

Instead, software is installed once under root privelages so regular users can't sabotage each other, and everyone can share the same up-to-date copy.

It is possible to compile and install software per-user (without root) as well, and by setting $PATH you can have your user-installed software mask the version installed on the system. I recommend doing this for software which cannot be obtained through the package manager, or for bleeding edge git HEAD versions of stuff. Otherwise, let the knowledgeable maintainers of your distribution do the work for you.
The main point mentioned here is that base image files cannot be trusted. But that is an issue that applies to running any static 'container' or even bare hardware running any sort of image. And both have to be updated or rebooted for any patches that require it. It is just having the flexible and non blocking processes in place. But I do agree such insecure images and running them on production is rife, especially some image sizes in docker end up being massive.

On issues such as manufacturing the hard political truth is that these jobs have been lost both to innovation and through trade (of jobs). Manufacturing jobs have been sacrificed to get cheaper products and the focus has been set on services. I think that overall this is quite reasonable and long term we will look at this transition the same way we look at the transition from agriculture to industry now.

Nevertheless this also means that while the majority profits some smaller though still significant part of the population gets screwed by this.

This isn't exactly the message you put out so you wrap it up in some euphemisms for voters. This has nothing to do with being out of touch, this is politicians and CEOs saying what they need to be able to do what they want.

Define what the term "real world" means here, and how a person can be more or less connected to it.
euh... Don't confuse Republics and democracies.

Letting the people vote is a not an equivalent statement to let the people rules.

Condorcet has shown how voting systems can be unfair, and a quick look to every elected assembly from the G20 is showing a clear non representation of the demography of the people in the assemblies.

We do not live under democratic systems, neither was USA in 1861. These are Republics. And Plato was firmly convinced that democracies were bad. After all he was sponsored by the wealthy ones that hated the people to have power.
simple key-value format that systemd expects, which is the only "parsing" that PID1 really does

The important word in the grandparent comment is "untrusted". HTTP and SMTP are simple key-value formats that most people would not consider parsing in a root process in a language like C.

You make a good point about there being no safer alternatives though given the architecture of systemd. What does that suggest about the architecture of systemd?

In the desktop FF Nightly the Flyweb menu must be picked from the customization menu (Menu, Preferences, drag the Flyweb icon to the toolbar). I think Mozilla forgot about this in their page.

Another important bit of information is how to install Nightly alongside with the current FF http://superuser.com/questions/679797/how-to-run-firefox-nig...

My take on this: interesting, especially the server side part. Instead the server inside the browser could be at best a way to drain batteries and at worst a security risk because of the increased attack surface. I wonder how locality applies to phones on the network of a mobile operator vs on a smaller WiFi network.

Anyway, if we have to rely on browsers to implement the discovery mechanism I'm afraid that it won't fly (pun intended). I'd be very surprised if Apple, Google and even MS will include this into their browsers. I got a feeling that they might want to push their own solutions to sell their own hardware. I hope to get surprised.

Maybe there will be apps autodiscovering those services or other servers acting as bridges to a "normal" DNS based discovery service.

Btw: Mozilla should test their pages a little harder. I had to remove the Roboto font from the CSS to be able to read it. The font was way too thin in all my desktop browsers and FF mobile. Opera mobile was OK, it probably defaulted to Arial.
I've not seen any convincing evidence that there is more rape on U.S. campuses than in surrounding society. I suspect this is why Sabrina had a hard time finding a juicy rape to capitalize on.

She began with the conclusion, and fabricated observations to fit it. This means the "conversation" is exactly as ridiculous as the false pretenses guiding it.

The whole idea of "campus rape" seems to be based on (small) surveys conducted with broad definitions of "rape" which most people would not accept. Definitions often include consensual sex which the respondent regretted after the fact, and drunk sex with forgotten/unknown consent.
The idea is to have a different voting mechanism for the web. Of course, this is what Mark Zuckerberg did with Facebook that almost got him kicked out of Harvard. Surveys are super popular but so easy to be brigade(d). This creates a token that stores each of the items voting one per user with a TTL of one minute. When the battle is submitted, the token is looked up and the contenders are validated.

It is really just a stupid idea and I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible. All the boats on the website are showing at the Bahia Mar marina now for the boat show. This is a more interesting way to explore all the boats there than a boring, plain directory.
That's just wrong. Imagine a (definitely plausible) future where a snapchat-level social app is created which relies on this local communication. People would obviously jump ship from Chrome to FF if it meant being on the new local social network where all of their friends are. Google isn't going to keep a stick up it's ass when this happens. They will conform, because they follow the money.
The problem is that you legally can't drop MacOS unless you want to drop iOS which is pretty difficult to do when it is the second most popular platform right now.

I don't recall if the restriction is compiling on Apple hardware or under macOS but while people had iOS compilers running for a while I think they have fallen out of date.
I think you misunderstand the point of democracy. Democracy is not a mechanism for selecting the best ruler or the wisest policies. Democracy serves as a solution for the succession problem without revolutions and civil war.

It is a mechanism that places the process, the system, above the ruler, and provides a strong and formal mechanism for replacing the old ruler with the new one.

Totalitarian states nearly always descend into chaos and violence when the dictator dies. Without clear succession rules, they rarely have an undisputed successor ready. Monarchies are historically more stable, but every so often a ruler dies without an undisputed heir, or one is such a blatantly bad ruler that civil war breaks out. Some dictatorships are able to maintain stability and prevent revolutions or civil war with more or less extreme repression.

Democracy is meant to solve all this. There is no need to take up arms against a bad king, if you know he or she will be replaced in 4 or 8 years. People who were at least consulted about the choice of ruler (in the form of elections) are less likely to dispute the ruler's legitimacy. Succession isn't disputed, because it's the system and not the ruler that chooses the successor.

Revolutions and civil wars are bad, they used to kill millions every other generation. The system we have maintains itself with minimal repression. So yes, one down side of democracy may be that people get to decide about issues they don't really understand. It's totally worth it.

I agree with you. As I said,

> Your parent post appears to suggest mitigating these other advantages in various ways (although I don't personally agree with that approach, since the computer isn't doing something that's out of reach for humans, just things that aren't practical for humans to achieve consistently).

As far as your last paragraph, I suspect the issue is that people building AIs generally try to follow the spirit of the game. I believe it would be possible write an AI that wins by perfectly macroing out tier-1 units, rushing, and perfectly microing them (and obviously it would be much easier than to build a more general Starcraft AI). If it hasn't been done, I expect that's because it would be little more than a gimmick. It certainly wouldn't be any fun to play against, nor would it advance AI in general.
I find solace by retreating back into my childhood. My home office contains a collection of obsolete yet comfortable pieces of hardware. A BBC Micro, an Amiga, a Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh, a MAME cabinet, and a small collection of pinball tables.

I can happily spend hours immersed in the past, and when I'm done, returning to modern digital life is somehow refreshing.

As someone who originated from a developing country and now resides in a developed one, there's much truth and not a lot of racism in that sentence.

It's not about race, it's about values, i.e. culture. Speak to an immigrant, they'd tell you this. My Aunts say it all the time - "I do miss home but we have such bad leaders....yes the food is terrible but life is so much simpler here.....people here are so trusting and kind".

Cultural norms are important and fascinating. Let's not hijack the opportunity for interesting conversation with accusations of racism.

Hacking is not the same as computing or programming.

The ways that the Primitive Technology Guy (PTG) has figured out how to make clay roofing tiles, charcoal, and a primitive forge blower are pretty fascinating. He's managed to build a pretty amazing little house with all of that.

That PTG has managed all of these with literally nothing that he could not source from his local environment is quite impressive.

No knife, no tools, no matches, just a pair of shorts and an informed mind -- that's pretty much hacking distilled down to its bare essentials.

It would be a fairly unlikely place for him to go though, given that everything he does is on his own land (and other areas where he has the owner's permission). He's presumably constrained by the local wildlife and regional laws.

In Queensland, Australia where he is based, it's illegal [1] to hunt anything which isn't feral or an invasive species of hare or deer, which are pretty hard to find, especially on small plots like the one he owns.

I don't disagree with your overall point, however I would raise three quibbles:

> That said, I'm not convinced that Jackie fabricated this story.

This seems like an overly technical quibble. You even admit, further on, that "many aspects of her account were false", and that she "lied about the details". Many people would term that a fabrication, and while Erdely certainly helped, much of the false details seem to have originated with Jackie. I'm really not quite sure what distinction you're trying to make here?

> it's very likely that [...] something terrible (rape or assault) did happen to her.

"Very likely" might be pushing it a bit. It's certainly very plausible, but I think far too little is known about Jackie to say anything in particular is "likely". Then again, I'm not sure why it matters?

Even more to the point, I don't think any of the details about Jackie are especially relevant to the story here, which is about Rolling Stone, Erdely, and UVA. Once it became clear that the story Rolling Stone told was fiction rather than fact, this stopped being about the young woman Erdely interviewed, and started being about Rolling Stone's editorial policies, their fact checking, and Erdely's skill and integrity.

That being said, I take your overall point as being that it is worth keeping in mind that very little is known about Jackie, that by all appearances she is as much a victim of Erdely is anyone, she is unquestionably troubled and did not receive help, and that she is not being sued or prosecuted, nor should she be, based on what's known. And with that, I agree strongly.
I find Finder more comfortable than Windows Explorer. It did look cumbersome at first, but it turned to be much more useable than Explorer. On Windows I've used Total Commander, so when I've switched to mac I've installed ForkLift, but I found out quickly that Finder is good enough for my needs. I use Spotlight to launch programs and nothing more and it's good for that. And yes - unix environment is the key selling point for me alongside with the sane UI and a great choice of cli software, ported from the other unix-like systems.

Meaning has next to nothing to do with income and sustenance. Problems with those can easily distract you from the very concept of stepping back and looking at meaning to your life. Excess of those can be their own burden as well.

Some sort of basic income really doesn't change much at all, besides helping to remove distractions from the destitute to be freer to pursuing meaning.

See the parallel "Democracy is broken" piece from the 1860's - it's precisely this that the author alludes to - that states grow more, not less divergent over time. I'm not sure that that's true, however, nor am I sure that it's a bad thing - we see devolution proactively happening elsewhere in the world.

Flyweb botnets DDoSing services in 3,2,1...
If you wish to distribute binaries rather than source for users to compile, you can not rely on the system libraries because that can get updated in a non compatible manner any time. Thus you need to package all of them all the way up from libc with your application (basically what windows and macOS apps do). So in regards to the original criticism of elementary not being updated often enough, I do not think it is an issue for development because it gives you a longer living target. As long as you get the security updates.

Let's say you write an app in Qt, Ubuntu 14.04 (LTS) has Qt version 5.3 but you want to use this cool new feature from Qt 5.7, you can pull the Sources and build Qt 5.7 on your computer and get it working. But obviously when you distribute it, other people who don't have Qt 5.7 installed yet because they are on a LTS distro will not be able to use it.

Germany has the concept of a non-refusal in order to not impose and just show politeness as well. There is no massive cultural difference here.

Sometimes though you just say no, this is one of these times. As a German I'm not baffled at all by the U.K. Brexit talk. Politicians in the U.K. have simply created a mess they don't quite know how to get out of, this is how they placate the electorate while they're trying to figure it out.

It seems to me what's really baffling to some people is how Germany thinks of the EU. It seems to me that not many people realize just how highly the EU is valued in Germany across the political spectrum. People seem to severely underestimate what sacrifices Germany is willing to make in the context of Brexit to benefit the EU.

Among politicians in Germany I think the consensus is that having a hard Brexit, a crash of Britain and the effects on other countries in the EU including Germany would be unfortunate. Further damage to the EU however would be considered catastrophic. At least some people in Berlin have essentially already written off the U.K. in their minds.

If article 50 is invoked in march and the clock starts ticking, it will be fascinating to see the horror of the people coming to realize this.
