It's easy to succumb to the nihilism in the face of fascism because it is an ideology that is unencumbered by truth or meaning. People like to think that if they could just have a conversation with a fascist and reason with them that they could convince them otherwise. When all the reason in the world does not stem the tide of fascism, one becomes disillusioned with the ideals of the enlightenment. Fascism is the antithesis of the enlightenment: fascism is the full embrace of the stupidity of violence and domination. It is rooted in that fundamental basis of social order which few examine critically. We all would like to believe that our civilization has gone far beyond the point where it is brute violence that decides social truth, and when fascism rises it lifts with it the veil that allows us to entertain such fantasies. When all of the things we were taught are the basis of society seem to be completely worthless in the face of fascism's brutality, how could we but not feel helpless and passive?

Here's an excerpt from Sartre's Anti-semite and Jew [1]. I think it's illuminating:

The anti‐Semite has chosen hate because hate is a faith; at
the outset he has chosen to devaluate words and reasons.
How entirely at ease he feels as a result. How futile and
frivolous discussions about the rights of the Jew appear to
him. He has placed himself on other ground from the
beginning. If out of courtesy he consents for a moment to
defend his point of view, he lends himself but does not give
himself. He tries simply to project his intuitive certainty
onto the plane of discourse. I mentioned awhile back some
remarks by anti‐Semites, all of them absurd: "I hate Jews
because they make servants insubordinate, because a
Jewish furrier robbed me, etc." Never believe that anti‐
Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their
replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open
to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is
their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly,
since he believes in words. The anti‐Semites have the right
to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving
ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their
interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they
seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate
and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will
abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that
the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid
of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or
to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning
over some third person to their side.

In order to resist fascism one has to have the conviction to fight for something that fascism seeks to destroy.

> China has civil rights organizations parallel to the ACLU

No, it doesn't, because the ACLU has a degree of power and legitimacy in the US which the Chinese government would not allow to any equivalent organization. The ACLU has actually won cases in court which effected a change in law and/or behavior.

> I myself have been harassed (followed, gaslit, personally surveilled, and threatened) by state police in America, for sharing Snowden documents and their contents. My mail between my relatives and I were opened. All subtle hints and threats: stop being outspoken.

Without minimizing the wrongness, illegality, or harm those things have done to you, I have to imagine that in China, a) Snowden documents would never have seen the light of day, and, b) If you had attempted to share something like that you would have been imprisoned without trial.

As the parent poster said, the difference between some and none is significant.

I do agree with the ultimate statement of you post, about fighting for rights.
This makes your work even more interesting. I don't know if you read the original Mail [1] in which Tom Duff shared his Device, but at the end he's mentioning that he had an idea for something like coroutines:

> It amazes me that after 10 years of writing C there are still little corners that I haven't explored fully. (Actually, I have another revolting way to use switches to implement interrupt driven state machines but it's too horrid to go into.)

He later replied to Simon Tatham, that his coroutines actually where those "horrid" ideas.

Obviously you must had some thoughts similar to those two. Kudos for that. You seem to to have a deep understanding of the concepts that make the C language (and how to twist them) ;).

Their analysis is not accurate.
People working X hours a week are guaranteed to be spending those X hours producing something useful to society, or at least to their employer. People not working are not.

Sure, some people who are not employed may be raising children or volunteering or doing something else beneficial to society,and encouraging them to work instead would be society's loss. But if we trust in the market economy, those people don't exist, and our real loss is people who are unproductive while on welfare who would be productive given a minimum wage job.
If you are not unemployed, why would you receive unemployment benefits?

The problem with this particular restriction is jobs that don't pay sufficiently, have wildly varying hours or are pretend part-time to stay under some benefits threshold. The solution can not be subsidize exploitative employers who don't provide a livable wage through UB. These jobs are a net cost to society and plain should not exist.
Indians need now have a 1 year only valid visa. Then they have to wait 6 months, or a year, to come another year. Not sure the details. My company also has a lot of indians, they are now trying after 1y to work remotely with them, and of course that has it challenges.
I know at least one human did without being exposed to it, and I know at least one other human is also conscious. For me, this is sufficient evidence to say that humans in general are likely conscious. It would be very weird for the two of us to be different in this way.

I agree that it remains fairly poorly defined, but I don't think it's correct to say that you can't even analyze it from the outside. There are many circumstances where you can't, but you can at least glean a little bit of information in some cases.
Your definition is not the usual one, I think.

On other words they appeal not to the rational mind but the instincts passed down to us from our ape ancestors.

This is likely why you find so much of business embracing fascism, as they to appeal to those same instincts to drive the consumer economy.

It's not about getting rid of Microsoft: it's about getting rid of Oracle. Their licensing costs even for a very large shop may start out cheap (think 90% discounts) but will creep up over time. And when you inevitably manage to get a combination of oracle-dependent data, queries, processes, etc entrenched the prices start to climb and the even more expensive options come out. Oh you need more performance? Go horizontal with RAC. You need to go faster but can't reengineer things? Exadata will fix you right up.
In the UK I have known multiple people who were unable to take jobs that would have brought them out of unemployment, because of precisely this trap.

Can't recall the specifics but they were not stupid people and I believe they'd done the math correctly.
That's a really good point. Would suggest the most important quality for success is leadership, and that it can't be taught.

Well, since they seem to be including collections of elements, each with dependency on one or two files, SaferCPlusPlus[1] could be added to the "data structures" category. It's a collection of safe compatible substitutes for C/C++'s unsafe elements that's generally intended to be used as a whole, but certainly supports cherry picking of individual elements. For example, you could choose to use its safe substitutes for std::vector (and std::array) while foregoing its safe pointer substitutes.

The implementation design was a trade-off between minimizing redundancy and minimizing dependencies (and inter-dependencies). Ultimately I decided minimal dependencies would be more appealing to the user.

No, not GPUs. GPUs are good at floating point vector math, not the bit shuffling operations that dominate the runtime of symmetric encryption or hashing. Custom ASICs specialized for crypto computations get orders of magnitude better power efficiency than GPUs at cracking.

For instance, in bitcoin mining (dominated by the SHA-256 calculation), the best GPUs get 0.013 MH/J while current ASICs get 10182 MH/J [0], so almost a million times more work per unit of energy.

We assume the precondition that the Universe we experience and observe originated in a vacuum of...existences, for lack of a better term. This seems myopic, why should it be so?

What if the universe we experience is the product of interactions between distinct universes, which circumscribed by different physical laws, and the only universe we can sufficiently experience and observe is that which is governed by the Strong Nuclear Force?
Sympathy for their genocide over other genocides has numerous causes. Mainly, it's because of American relation to it. We saved them, so we like hearing about it. It also bolsters Christian bias in American politics. Still, it was very bad. We would probably have more perspective as a human phenomenon rather than a European one on it if additional genocides were explicated.
Then again, the US war on drugs was possibly racist in origin...

Unfortunately it's quite common due to the layered nature of unemployment benefits in the UK to be far better off on benefits than to go into work. I know several people who work the bare minimum to qualify for all their benefits then proceed to claim them for as long as possible. One example being if you have several children, working can easily reduce your child-tax credits by an amount greater than your employment income.

The counter-argument of course is that you shouldn't have children if you can't afford to raise them, but the disincentives are there, and as crazy as it sounds people are incentivised to have a lot of children as a method of escaping work.

I see a host demanding a guest reduce their answer which might require many words down to either "yes" or "no". Clearly the guest's answer was not as simple as "yes" or "no" but the host required the answer be that simple. They clearly weren't pressed for time so I don't understand why the answer had to be only one word. Maybe the audience doesn't want to hear more than a one-word answer?

Binney is suggesting the proper approach - safe manual customizations that require manual cryptanalyzis, which is not scalable.

If only few % of users start to roll out their own custom crypto, not stronger than ROT-13, that would completely overwhelm the interception industry, including the state-level players. There is no automated tool that can cryptanalyze in real time someone's naive but unique idea what crypto should be.

In other words, this is shifting the paradigm where few high priests of the open source crypto design few key components for billions to use, and cryptanalysis has to deal with only few problems which are eventually automated, to the problem where tens of thousands of brains construct their own weird crypto which has to be manually cryptanalysed. Cryptanalyzers would need to employ millions to achieve this.

Feel free to do this on top of the blessed crypto stacks.

yes, but that's only for objects that you have spec(ified). It really would be a lot of work to do for every variable, and you'd quickly hit the point of diminishing returns.

Another thing to consider is how many of your bugs are because of an ill specified object, or because i held null instead of integer.
The combination of a fixed-amount UBI and a fixed-rate tax does exactly what people want. The marginal tax rate is completely unwavering for everyone and the effective tax rate ((tax paid - UBI)/income)) follows a nice continuous progressive curve.

> Even though you keep less of your next dollar of earnings the more you make, there's never a point at which earning the next dollar will leave you with less money after tax.

The problem is that's not the only thing you want. You also don't want marginal rates of 75%+ for low and middle income people. It's not only that taking a $20K/year job shouldn't cost you $21K/year in benefits, it's that it shouldn't cost you $15K/year in benefits while you now incur more transportation and childcare expenses.

a) Had Washington had its way the documents never would have seen the light of day. They broke international law to ground planes in search of Snowden. They blocked as much of the documents as they could from being shared. They spread rumors about malware on Wikileaks. They worked with the media industry to not cover the contents and to work on the messaging to the American people: "This is bulk collection, not mass surveillance." Their official and public statements on the contents and scope of the programs were repeatedly shown to be false. They passed a law legalizing and expanding authorities and passed this off to the public as their stopping the programs, while the media ran 24/7 news about Caitlyn Jenning. The UK infiltrated the Guardian at gunpoint and destroyed the documents.

b) The laws are in place for exactly this. Snowden, had he been caught, would have been in military prison. His lawyers are arguing today the terms of a trial for him to come home, with senior members of our government calling for his execution. The US government under the Obama Justice Department has compromised on a secret jury-less trial in the Virginia legal subsystem (notable for prosecuting National Security cases, and siding with National Security over individual rights).

It used to be even more weird. About 20 years ago, when our kids were small, I was simultaneously in two groups:

1) High income: My personal gross income was among the top 20 % of earners. Thus, high taxes.

2) Poverty: My family's net income after housing expenses was below the threshold of the last-resort income support.

All it took was having three small children, wife not working as the youngest was a newborn thus only the minimal maternity allowance, Helsinki region housing costs and the progressive taxation of "high earners".

The way to get out of it was to take a job abroad for a while. But Finland is my home, even if I hate some parts of the welfare state politics, so I came back.
