None of them bore any resemblance to Erdogan. All the previous ones were the army emerging from its barracks, deposing democratically elected and popular governments they thought too Islamic/not secular enough and returning to their barracks. The current political situation is a result of the increasing democratisation that the EU encouraged. Erdogan would never have been tolerated before.
Maybe so, but the devaluation of rights goes far beyond executions. There are ways to oppress people that are almost as bad as wrongful execution, such as wrongful and malicious prosecution, wrongful imprisonment, profit-based prison systems, and predatory plea-bargaining, and that's just the justice system.

In a broader sense, the willful dismantling of laws and programs meant to prevent human suffering, and reduce vulnerability to robber barons is also part of the trend: the denial of climate science, the attacks on net neutrality, the attempts to dismantle healthcare assistance, the defunding of scientific programs - the list goes on and on, and it is to the detriment of all but the mega-wealthy.

I'm seeing a lot of comments about this structure vs. that structure, but to paraphrase an old Sufi proverb someone told me, it doesn't matter what the cup is made of (gold? wood?), it matters what's in the cup (good water?). It doesn't matter what your government or family structures look like if they aren't able to facilitate healthy individuals and groups. If they are facilitating the health of some and the detriment of others, well then they are wittingly or unwittingly engaging in selection. It doesn't matter if she's your wife or your girlfriend. Is it toxic or growing?
Please give me a break, the great majority of the Turks living in Germany (just as an example) not only voted yes in the referendum but after it won there were major celebrations on the streets of a lot of big German cities by Turks living there.

Please stop this nonsense of trying to pretend it's always somebody else's fault other than the majority of the Turks. They choose to transform their country in the mess it became.

I tried to use Haskell three times. Cabal was the always the reason why I left. I use three different machines. 2 at two different locations at work and one at home. All three would be different and have different errors. I would spend hours and always left with a horrible taste in my mouth.

Today I use Racket and I won't go back but I am glad Stack is taking over Cabal.

It looks to me like the equivalent of keeping telemarketers on the phone in an inane conversation instead of immediately hanging up on them. The latter just frees them up to call the next victim.

“Britain”? Do they perhaps mean England?

>Open ended questions are pretty garbage unless someone is already attracted to you, and used to being conversational. Interrogations aren't fun.

It seems like there's a lot of evidence that people like talking about themselves. Also, questions invite engagement where 'interesting statements' don't, necessarily.

I think 'interesting questions' are a good route to go. Knowing
a bit of philosophy helps here. E.g. "In a brain transplant would you rather be the donor or the recipient?" or "Should child-sized sex robots be legal?" Because regardless of the answer it invites follow ups like "Why?" and "What about you? How would you answer the question?"

"Applying to emotion"

Which is typical of huffpo. they've been rabidly anti gun/anti second amendment for years. This writer is no different.

Don't forget their mashing statistics together to make something sound different. "More than 30,000 people die of gunshot wounds each year in America" - The only figures I see coming close to that are ones that lump suicides in as well.
Even though Europe mostly did away with the death penalty, these kind of system failures exist here as well — it is a global phenomenon. Plenty of stories of innocent people jailed for crimes because they fit the profile and aren't that high up on socio-economical ladder.

I don't know enough about Buddhism to judge if the article is accurate but separating out teaching from people sounds rather "Protestant" to my ears.

In Hinduism which I know more about we have the concept of karma. Karma is action. It can be ritual action. It can be war (As Arjuna is taught in the Gita) or it can be writing a comment on Hacker News. These actions have different goals but conceptually they are the same type. What we call Hinduism is the sum total of what "people that happen to be Hindu" do. I expect Buddhism is like this too.

I feel the same way - just exercising is boring. However, I found that doing other things in which my body moves is quite enjoyable. A couple of examples are martial arts and Zumba class. I took up martial arts in my 30's and after a couple of years I was able to take my shirt off at the 4th of July party without shame. My current drive is to got to Zumba dance class at the gym a couple of nights a week. I get to listen to some loud upbeat music and learn a couple of dance moves along the way. And since I'm at the gym anyway, I'll generally do a couple of the muscle machines too.

Note that the qualification "outdated" has been added by you, not the parent.

One could have easily said "evergreen" or "tried and true" or "resilient" roles.

Also not being reliant on what's enabled by the available technology for major choices is more than about "being prepared in case society collapses".

For one, technology is neutral, it can enable all kinds of things, including things that are bad for society. What should be going should be a cultural/ethical/etc discussion, not a knee-jerk adoption of any new available option.

Not saying that this is the case here, but there's more to being logical than your critique of the parent.

> I’m not really sure what half a year of holding on to my money will help PayPal achieve?

If they have a pile of similar money (likely, by the stories we hear), then they earn interest, and may (IANAA) be able to point to that cash as an "asset" in situations where they need to show assets.
> Collective will has never solved anything. As always it will be technology.

Technology is a tool. There are always humans behind it. (If nothing else, the people designing the algorithms for the AI overlords)

Technology may help us to reach our goals, but in my opinion, it's rather useless if we're not even clear what our goals are.

> At smaller scale it will be much more obvious how important these things are.

And then what? It's obvious today how important clean drinking water is. Still people use access to water as a bargaining power and you might not have access to it if you live in a shitty part of the world and have nothing to offer. I don't see why it would be different here.

> Like now ? Inequality is natural state. War against inequality is just waste of resource.

Then I honestly don't understand the logic of anarcho-capitalists.

So our current system is broken because, even though it has some checks, it still leads to too much accumulation of power.

Therefore we should replace it with a completely unchecked system which will lead to even more accumulation of power - but that's ok because suddenly accumulation of power is actually fine and there is absolutely nothing we could do about it anyway.

How does that make any sense?

> Why is that a problem ? Use of force is only injustice in my book.

In mine, it isn't. But even if it were, who is keeping the communities from using force?

> Other than that everything is fair game. Many will be losers and few will be winners. But _everyone_ will fail most of the time. That is, there is no such thing as a private actor or community winning all of the time.

Yes, dominant powers change over time. For most of human history, that timespan was roughly "every few centuries". If you're talking about human life spans, it's absolutely possible that some groups are winning all the time and everyone else is losing all the time. (Oh, and those events where power actually shifted? They usually weren't very pleasant to live in either)

The whole idea of our current system is to prevent that by imposing restrictions on power.

The word "literal" here is slightly more complicated than in the usual commonplace misuse of the word.

The author is trying to distinguish between "wallflower" the "socially awkward person" and "wallflower" the "person who stands near a wall". They are using a slightly more literal definition, but not the most literal (i.e. the plant).

The justification is that "being near the wall" =/= "being in a high-traffic area".
A bus without special bus lanes is a pretty bad public transit system, the sort of thing that makes people conclude that this whole public transit idea was a mistake in the first place and we should just invest in better car infrastructure. And getting special bus lanes is pretty politically difficult in its own way (although it's a different sort of fight than right-of-way fights).

If I had the choice of spending $3 million to buy 10 buses, or to do nothing at all, I'd save the $3 million and wait until it's feasible to develop something that the city will keep wanting to fund.

I love the Turkish people and the rich cultural heritage of the country, but everything I hear about Erdogan is pretty scary. My only beef with the people of Turkey is I wish they'd take a leadership role into making peace with the Kurds.
In that case I'm not sure if it works. I fully expect the spammers to have the software to deal with similar behavior. In contrast with telemarketers the computers multitask pretty well.
Yes and no. There were wannabe dictators in turkey before erdogan, but the army had removed them, which is why erdogan essentially neutered the army (in multiple ways and through quite a few years) to allow him his current level of control.

Turkey didn't change as much as they guy in charge was persistent, smart and popular enough to do things his predecessors didn't.

It is possible a different ruler would have done the same, but it is also possible that without Erdogan, turkey would still be democratic.

> One of the reasons I work hard is so that my children have a good future ahead of them. Why should my family give that all back to the state when I die? The state didn't earn that money... I did.

One could argue that your kids did not earn that money either. As a reasonable middle ground, I think that we there could be a "good future for the children" exemption (at say $20m per child), while the rest is taxed at 100%. This prevents the natural process of concentration of all wealth in the hands of the few.
The phone support is absolutely terrible. After spending 15 minutes on hold, you get connected with script readers with indecipherable foreign accents, and if they can't help you because it's not on their script (yes, I know how to use a web site, here's why the steps you gave me won't work), they advise you to open a case in the Resolution Center just to get you off the phone -- where I have one pending now for over six months (I paid an eBay seller who didn't ship me my item and whose account got banned by eBay shortly after I purchased it, so I can't open a claim on eBay to get a refund -- as a buyer, the UI for opening an eBay claim is completely inaccessible if a seller's account is banned. PayPal insists it's an eBay problem and I should talk to eBay, eBay insists it is a PayPal problem and that I should talk to PayPal; it's deadlocked). If you mention the word "eBay" at all to PayPal on the phone, they immediately transfer you to eBay (and vice versa). Classic game of "pass the buck." At one point, I managed to stump the PayPal script reader (my unique situation wasn't on the script), so they just transferred me to another T1 agent. There's zero recordkeeping at all (likely no ticketing system), so nobody knows anything at all about my case so it's like I'm talking to them for the first time any time I'm talking to a new person.

So yes, it is some black hole of support.
The world literal was been used to speak figuratively literally since Beowulf:

The degree to which each percentage point effects longevity surely varies depending on battery design. It would be a lot more useful it describe it in terms of recharge-discharge cycles than to say "it is limited to charge only up to 90%" and let the listener try to infer what that means about lifetime.
This looks like a cool (probably impractical) way to recharging the car on the go. No more delays to re-charge the battery.

You argue, that sociopolitical constructs can not be made that contain corrossive elements.
I think, some of the democratic institutions proof the opposit.
As in biology containment vessels can be constructed to withstand quite extraordinary corrossive circumstances. The strategys against the corrossion are constant renewel (disposing of counter-measures), counter agents to corrossion (keep the secret services busy with infinite clutter), rerouting of corossive elements (avoid giving them a attack surface- for example by distributing the hidden app via a virus/non visible release group). Finally, and thats the beauty of it- the Centralizers may be the undoing of there own system- after all its usually monocultured (very few os-systems), has a very centralized single point of failure- and the greed involved usually corrodes even there tools.
