They exist in a legal grey area between POWs and war criminals.

POWs don't get a trial. They are held indefinitely until the end of hostilities. Given that the Taliban and Al-Qaeda are still operating against the US and its allies, hostilities are clearly not over. The trouble is that with such a 'war' against a decentralized enemy that has already lasted 15 years, and could quite conceivably last decades more, it's clear that 'indefinite detention' can effectively become 'life imprisonment' and that we're venturing into territory not accounted for by the pre-existing legal framework.

For an executive, I don't care tracking cause and
effect of their individual actions.

So you want to pay executives but not based on how THEY actually did as individuals, but on a group basis?

That is a truly innovative bonus system. Excuse the sarcasm, you invited it.

In case you meant something else than me, you replied to my comment that was a reply to one very specific comment, and I obviously assume we are still on that topic. In that context your reply "I don't care how the individual does" is strange at the very least.

EDIT:

Ah I get it, but it does not make any more sense because if you assumed I meant the actions of the executive on a Tuesday at 2 pm in September instead of his whole reign than I don't understand how one can come up with such an interpretation. Reminds me of the topic submitted one or two days ago of that investor person who didn't want to say anything in public any more to not have to have exactly these kinds of ridiculous misinterpretations to deal with.

You cannot say if it was that specific individuals actions specifically that caused success! Not even if the executive is CEO for 30 years. It has been shown again and again that such successful executives, when placed into a different environment suddenly fail. Because it isn't just them, it is the whole environment that caused their success.

But as the article points out, Putin is not a warm, fuzzy, lovingly altruistic person. He wouldn't do favors if he didn't get something in return.

I always assumed it was more PR reasons, rather than anything Snowden knows. How can the US accuse the Russian Federation of human rights abuses or lack of individual freedoms if they have a walking, talking example of a citizen who cannot go home to the US but lives free in Russia? It's farcical, as Putin's Russia is less free than the US, but it does shut down debate.

And in a slight change of topic, I have been really shocked in the last 6 months how willing ordinary Americans are to defend Putin in political discussion. Something is working over there.
Sorry, I should have referred to the grandparent's claim (which is also not backed by the case studies, good examples though they are).
I did not know that. That seems like a terrible idea for exactly the reason we're discussing this. Does CA have a web site available where a seller can relinquish ownership? If not, it seems the time between the actual sale and one or other of the seller or buyer going to the DMV would have the car in legal limbo wrt ownership.

There is Ctrl-y for pasting deleted strings, which goes along very well with these commands:

Ctrl-k delete to end of line
Ctrl-u delete to beginning of line
Alt-d delete to end of word
Ctrl-w delete to beginning of word
Alt-Backspc same

Bash keybindings behave like Emacs by default, hence every time you invoke one of these, it will put the string into a buffer, which can be later pasted using Ctrl-y.

This is very useful. For instance, if you remembered that you didn't `mkdir /mnt/disk` while in the middle of the command `mount /dev/sdb /mnt/disk`, you can delete what you have already typed with Ctrl-u; issue `mkdir /mnt/disk`; than you can paste the previous command with Ctrl-y. Very useful and I use it all the time! (Ctrl-u have never tied to my muscle memory, so I usually do Ctrl-a Ctrl-k to move to the beginning of the line and delete what comes next).

Other tips:

cd goes to home dir
Ctrl-] moves cursor to character (such as vim f)
Ctrl+Meta+] moves to character backwards (vim F)

I also put these in my .bashrc for searching history pressing up/down.

"\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward

This is different of searching with Ctrl-r. When you type part of a command, such as

mkdir /dev

and press up, it will complete with previous ocurrences of commands starting with `mkdir /dev`. It is faster than Ctrl-r if you already know what to do.

Decoherence is an extremely useful and elegant mechanism for understanding quantum systems, but unfortunately it doesn't solve the measurement problem. At least not to the satisfaction of most practising physicists. The entanglement and trace operation does produce classical probabilities in the observed sub-system. However, it requires you to make a pretty arbitrary division between the observed system and the wider environment. Why is everything not just entangled with everything else up and up the chain until the entire universe is in superposition? The problem of where the quantum world ends and the classical world begins is still unanswered. This is one of the greatest open questions in physics, likely requiring a unification of general relativity and quantum mechanics before it's resolved.

This is a distinction without a difference until VoLTE is the only option. Calls and texts are still sent over CDMA.

US CDMA carriers right now require that you whitelist your phone's IMEI before it will activate. That means, even if your phone is compatible with all bands used, you can't just pop a SIM in and have it work. That may change once VoLTE is everywhere, but it may not, because carriers like making it hard to bring your own device, so you'll buy it from them instead. Verizon has some restrictions here, due to their purchase of the 700mhz LTE spectrum, but they still make it difficult.

Very nice. Nothing new here, but this is a great summary to share with people who are less familiar with internet architecture and want to get up to speed with this particular facet of (seemingly illegal) surveillance.

However, I want to quickly point out one omission in the discussion of the risks of allowing this kind of activity to continue:

If the NSA is effectively spying on everybody who communicates with a server outside the US, it is trivial for them (or another government agency) to fabricate traffic (presumably child pornography) in order to target someone.

The ACLU (and others similarly positioned to criticize this conduct) always rightly point to the risks to journalists and human rights activists of having their communications intercepted and accurately portrayed, but what about the ease of lying about it in order to target dissidents?

This seems like an obvious vector and deserves more attention and discussion.

> Public infrastructure experiences a lot of vandalism and abuse. Prepare for your car to be treated like public infrastructure.

Prepare for your car to have interior cameras and a load of other sensors (e.g. smoke detector) constantly streaming to "the cloud." Of course, there will be no way to turn them off, because then passengers would do that. Then you just bill the passenger for the damages, and send him a link to the incriminating footage.

Then again, I would hate to use my personal car as a taxi, or my spare bedroom as a hotel, so I'm clearly not a good candidate for the "sharing" economy. Maybe I'm not desperate enough.

> If one just wants simplicity, why not pick C, or even Basic-80? They are simpler than Go.

It's very simple to write bad C. Writing safe, correct C with no security vulnerabilities is surprisingly hard, which is a major reason why most OSes need to apply regular security patches.

Rust gives you speed, concurrency and memory safety at the same time. This is not free: You need to know about values, references, stacks and heaps. And you need to write your code so that objects have a single, clear owner. It also helps to be somewhat familiar with generic types and functions like `map`—some old-school C programmers might have issues with parts of Rust, but C++ programmers (or C programmers who know JavaScript) should be fine.

If you're willing to pay that price, and spend a week or two making friends with the borrow checker, Rust is a fantastic and versatile tool. But for many programmers and applications, that price may be too high.

Rust will hopefully remain simpler than C++. But it's always going to be more complex than Go or Ruby. I have no idea whether Rust will wind up simpler or more complex than modern JavaScript, though. :-)
This is what I did. I lived in the Bay Area (Mountain View) and thought the cost of living there long-term was unaffordable. So I moved to Chicago and now I'm debt free and have a 3-minute-walk commute to work. I wish more people seriously considered this option. Yes, the winters are cold, but no place is perfect. A thick winter coat, gloves, and a hat are a lot cheaper than a Mountain View rent or mortgage. (This is a very privileged opinion though, and I wish everyone had the option of being able to leave if they wanted to.)

The way I interpret the comment is that the Pentagon bankrolled Iridium with a $72mil contract, and that therefore Iridium is likely to respond favourably to Pentagon requests to quietly add a little something extra to their satellites.

Especially since Circe de Soleil seems to be doing very well. I think circus isn't dead but has moved on. I went to see many circuses in Europe as a child and there one liked best ("Flik Flak") had no animals. Instead they focused on great acrobats and even set up a giant pool for part of their performance. In hindsight they were the circus closest to Circe de Soleil at the time and it worked. So what probably killed Ringling isn't Pokemon Go, but better circus.

I have some sympathy for a teacher in that situation. If someone takes a picture of her students and publishes it, it can hurt them or her depending on context. That risk disappears if the picture disappears.

And I do think it's generally OK to ask people not to exercise their rights as a favor: I might ask a neighbor to move their car to free up a legally occupied parking spot for a disabled relative; someone with children might ask adults not to use legal but racist or misogynist language in front of their kids.

Could it be that these people you think of as conflating capital and "land" simply don't accept the definition you take for granted ?

In Marx's definition, for instance, capital is defined by currency, and by the liquidity of one's assets. Therefore, considering land as capital would make sense.
Microeconomics analysis is another realm where separating land and capital does not necessarily make sense : because of the liquidity effect described above, it may be useless to distinguish land and capital when you have no macro concern.

My point here is that the definition of capital, and the classification of land related to capital is intimately related to the analysis you're making, and, therefore, to the position you're defending. As a consequence, what you understand as a person building a strawman is related not to that person building that strawman, but to that person's analysis being in conflict with semantics you take for granted. And ironically, when you try to establish a distinction that makes no sense in that person's logical framework, they may think that you're trying to drown the matter.

In fact, they may even be right, in the context of the analysis of social capital, because you're in fact struggling to establish your capital as more legitimate than theirs.
