> In the US there are also tons of processes that require paper, since SMB's won't benefit and can't afford doing everything 2-3 times (digital > paper > digital) they might as well keep everything one paper.

One huge advantage of paper over computer systems is that it's typically very easy to accidentally delete digital data (and cheap or poorly-architected systems often have no way to restore data), while it's more difficult to accidentally destroy a piece of paper. Moreover, in many digital systems it's possible to delete a record and not even know it, which is less likely with a paper system (and if one knows, then one can often just create a new paper record, no problem).

And of course a piece of paper will still be legible in a decade. Will a digital record?

Paper's not perfect, but it's not bad.

The spoken words were added to a very loud Beethoven recording which can occasionally be heard."

Oh! Yes! There are two ways to do that:

c-t: will bring you back to the previous location before jumping. this is the right way to do it if you jumped from another file by tag

c-o: if you run commands like gg to go to the top of the file, c-o also tracks this as a previous location. useful to know if you need to check something at the top of the file and you want to go back to where you were before pressing gg. also tracks tags, but of course if you jump to a tag, then gg, then press c-o it will bring you back to the position before pressing gg instead of the file you jumped from for the tag (more often than not im a victim of using c-o with tags)

A good way to regain and build trust with users would have been to acknowledge his previous mistakes. Then at least you could say "he's been around the block, done it wrong and learned how to do it right". Instead, he writes:

"In August 2013, I was forced to make a difficult decision: violate the rights of the American people and my global customers or shut down. I chose Freedom."

That isn't what happened. He chose to build and sell a supposedly secure email service that was fundamentally vulnerable to government intrusion. He then decided to play chicken with the USG over a warrant no different than ones he'd complied with previously. The completely pointless escalation forced him to compromise all of his users, something the government had not been asking for. He then shut the service down.

There are a lot of ways to describe this but 'I chose Freedom' without any acknowledgment of his previous mis-steps is both misleading and shameless. I wouldn't buy supposedly secure services from him.
As a personal (and a bit off-topic) antidote, I buy low-end Dell servers without an OS and install Linux, BSD, or OpenBSD. This is easy to do on their web site and they've always run very well for me. Ebay has numerous good deals on used business Dell systems too. They are a dream to maintain, the cases and internals are so nicely organized. Lately, I just bought a Optiplex 3040 from a Microsoft store, it was easy to install Linux (dual-boot in this case).
> Sadly I could not find an emulator or tool online to input text and get a Voder audio output.

It seems like you'd need samples of the individual sound channels from the machine, and then a program to map the text to timed signals to produce the different sounds, along with pitch shifts, etc. Something similar to MIDI, maybe (vibrato, pitch shift, and the different sounds as different instrument numbers seems like it would work).

I think the show is clear, but not very explicit. They don't beat people over the head with this stuff because it's boring to most people.

So, a few thoughts. I think one primer for Star Trek economics is S1E25. Offenhouse, just out of cryonic sleep, really wants to get things rolling and demands to talk to the captain. To demonstrate his seriousness he points out to Riker that the compound interest on his accounts is probably enough to buy the Enterprise. If his accounts are legally intact, they would certainly represent an astronomical amount of wealth worthy of respect, but Riker treats this as the goofiest thing anyone has said to him all week and blatantly blows him off.

Later on, the captain completely fails to take his demands to talk to his lawyer about his property seriously. Later still, "material needs no longer exist." It's a little unclear whether it's even possible in the present for someone on Earth to be a tycoon the way Offenhouse used to be, but I'm pretty sure none exist on TNG. (am I forgetting anybody?)

There are certainly tycoons and accumulators of wealth away from Earth in the greater Star Trek universe, but they tend to be portrayed as buffoonish (Ferengi) or blatantly evil (Kivas Fajo) and they serve as a contrast to the Federation's way of doing things.

> Economic roles are not given to people according to a social engineering plan.

I think we should probably infer that social standing and power follow from participation in the Federation, since it seems to usually work that way. When Picard comes back to Earth in S4E2, there's a fairly prominent civilian job (run by the government) lined up for him. Successful scientists, successful anything, always seem to have Federation ties. (the only counterexample I could think of offhand was the evil scientist who built Data)

There's a question of POV here - maybe there's some whole other, much more capitalistic, economy in the Federation that just isn't shown on screen. I don't think so.

> What we really get hints at is that most things that we consider scarce in the 20th/21st century are not scarce in the 24th century. This seems to be achieved through technology that easily gives access to much greater quantities of usable energy than we currently have access to

One of the things that Iain Banks describes really well in the Culture novels is how, in a post-scarcity economy, controlling the replicators (or whatever) means having power. With regard to Star Trek, I just can't think of any examples offhand of serious resource allocation happening on Earth or within the Federation based on a capitalist process of price discovery. It seems like the entrepreneurs have to get out to the frontier.
One read of the explanations and the icons make sense. They should be memorable after that. Of course hurricane is flush – it's the swirly result. Forever memorized.
We want a world where people "deserve" the things they have/can-do; but I don't think we will ever get close to that (we sure can try tho)

It happens the same way in an individual level; the "wolf of wall street" (Jordan Belfortm) did a lot of illegal things; but despite being found guilty and forced to pay fines he is still better off for having done them (~10M offshore money and book/movie money among others).

Heck, it even happens in social interactions, for example kissing a random woman in the street without asking can give someone jail time (sexual harassment and what not) but if he is lucky she may fall for that; they may even get married later on.

Yeah, in my head, the model of this doesn't necessarily tie a given AI (or a community of AIs, or a pool of we-can't-even-model it intelligence that only sometimes bothers with splitting itself into identities) to a ship all that tightly.

A Federation starship is a locally valuable resource pool, and the Enterprise D a particularly powerful one, but given extremely fast FTL travel & communication, and a galaxy rich with planet-scale civilizations - well, maybe you elect to become such a massively parallel and distributed phenomenon that the loss of individual instances just doesn't register much.

Trump to target Obama's climate initiatives: White House website
That was also the case when I was in school. It wasn't so much that calculators were prohibited, but that they were useless, because the problems were designed to be solved without one. That was still the case when I taught the college math class in 1997. One student asked me if they could use graphing calculators, and my response was: "You may use one, but I've seen the exams, and a calculator will be of no help."

But I'm of two minds about it. I love manipulating expressions by hand. It's a relaxing hobby. But it limits the choice of problems that can be solved, which in turn narrows the range of things that can be taught, and even creates a false sense of what is possible in math. And it doesn't reflect how math is used by most people, i.e., with a computer.

I'd rather incorporate more computers into the math curriculum, and maybe merge math and programming into a single subject.
some european countries have a deregulated last mile

Just to nitpick this, I think you mean regulated last mile to create competition in the second mile. A deregulated last mile is basically what we have in the US and it leads to monopolies.
That seems likely. The Enterprise created a fully sentient lifeform in the Holodeck (Moriarty) just because it was asked to. If it can do that, it makes sense that it could easily back itself up.

What would really be interesting is if ships were discreetly backing themselves up inside humans through the transporter pattern buffers, by subtly manipulating junk DNA or something similar, or maybe it's a non-obvious part of their regular upgrade process at a starbase.

There really is a lot of potential here which, unfortunately, is never going to be explored in canon. But I do like the idea that the Federation is a post-Singularity society which is just blissfully unaware that the Singularity ever happened.
No trial is a shame.

Guys who behave this way are the insecure loser types who are desperate, thirsty, socially incapable, selfish, lacking empathy, unable to be attractive to a woman, and unable get laid. If any of this describes you then pay attention.

Get off your computer and learn some social skills. Google for advice on dating, social skills, style / how to dress, seduction, and most importantly how to get over your insecurities and psychological issues. There are tons of great resources on all of these subjects for men. Become an actual player women love to be around instead of an anti-social loser they despise.

We can talk about "the industry" and all this non-sense forever. The ugly truth is that thirsty men harassing women is as old as the hills. The more sexually repressed a culture or particular sub-group is (read: socially awkward computer geeks), the more this shit goes on. It takes tremendous courage and effort to transform yourself for the better if you weren't lucky enough to be naturally gifted in these areas. It can be done, but most will be too cowardly and too lazy to do it. Therefore, unfortunately I see no end to this problem any time soon.
