> Only you don't get to decide what's a "fundamental human right" for others

If you accept the concept of "fundamental human rights", then it seems to me that they are rights that are derived from the simple fact of being a human, regardless of what your culture or rulers currently impose on you, and which you accept axiomatically. That is what makes them "fundamental", rather than just the (larger) set of normal rights afforded to you by your state.

I could easily see things like having the right to not be held as a slave as belonging to such a fundamental set.

> Not to mention that what's "free speech" is not clear cut, most EU countries for example have totally different laws than the US

I think the issue is more about how much trespassing on the freedom of speech is allowed by different jurisdictions. Even in Europe very few argue that holocaust denial laws, or blasphemy laws are not a trespass on freedom of speech. It is just that many accept them. And many, including myself, do not, because it has had a chilling effect of public discourse on many important issues.

>Tesla Model 3 will be everywhere by 2020.

Not sure about that. If you order one now, you'll have it delivered by the end of 2018, early 2019. And that's the best case scenario according to Musk.
Reflecting on performance testing
The German carmakers have great production facilities, technical abilities and deep pockets. Unfortunately, their mind set has been focussed on selling their dirty Diesel cars at all means. So I am doubtful to their current commitment to electrical cars, but who knows. Also, I don't see them build up battery capacities on the scale Tesla does. So, I really wish that they give Tesla a great competition, but so far I am not too optimistic.
‘World’s longest’ hanging bridge opens
Interesting twist if bitcoin blockchain would be found to distribute illegal porn or private/secret/classified data(it already stores some wikileaks content).
# How does government stop/censor a global p2p network?
I guess they would put pressure on developers and bitcoin foundation to remove the offending data and update the (official) software to block/reject/deny any upload of it. I assume it would have to employ heavy filtering to prevent rogue actors from spamming illegal content and some functionality to revoke bad blocks(will probably require major changes in ledger code).
If there is no change in client software it becomes exponentially harder to censor the data if not impossible: at some point this could be used as legal reason vs anyone hosting the full blockchain.
The blockchain would have to be hard-forked to point to the censored version.
(I have no idea how this suppose to work since each block depends on previous one: any incident will require to create a new blockchain fork from the start of offending block and this probably won't scale to dedicated attackers inserting illegal content into every block).
Trestle – A modern, responsive admin framework for Ruby on Rails
Bitcoin's intrinsic value is the right/ability to write a new row into a global immutable append-only decentralised censorship-proof spreadsheet table. It is valuable not only in economic context to create a border-less cash-like virtual commodity. It could be used for proof of publication or proof of existence and in many other ways (smart contracts).

In other words, owning a non-dust amount of Satoshis gives you some useful property. Anything scarce and useful will have value and market will price it. Anything with price and good properties to become means of exchange, unit of account or store of value can under some circumstances become some form of money.

Output of /dev/random is not scarce.
So are programmers by and large incredibly non-curious about learning completely new stuff they will probably not even use so much, and for which they could make solutions with the tools they have.

Actual title: Dishonesty and Selection into Public Service: Evidence from India

The link title: "Students who cheat on a simple task are more likely to prefer public sector jobs", implies that this is a global phenomenon.

One might expect that the nature of the public sector in a given location might have an influence over the kinds of people it might attract.

In a place where baksheesh is commonplace, and a small fortune can be amassed out of "facilitation payments" by a low-level civil servant, it would come as no surprise that such a position would be attractive to nefarious individuals.

In a place where public sector workers earn marginally less than their private sector counterparts, and have no means of topping up that income, other than by taking a second job, one might imagine that such a position would be less attractive to cheaters, and more attractive to people who value mission over money.

If I let the assumption of good faith slip, I would say that the link title has been deliberately crafted to cast aspersions on all public sector employees worldwide, or, at least in the OP's home country.

This follows from my experience with building F# libraries, but the ideas are quite general and can be useful in any programming language.

This is just not true. The whole article really doesn't apply to any mainstream programming languages like ruby, python, java, javascript etc. The author seems to be coming from an academic view point and the points he makes really don't translate to the software engineering world.

His analogy about frameworks being package holidays while composing libraries is like independent travel only tells half the story. How do you organise the interaction of libraries? You can do it yourself but you will have to follow some sort of pattern to organise the code in order to make it easy to work with. What happens when another coder joins your project? Are you going to tell them the pattern you have already been using? What if they dont follow it as expected or disagree with it? Frameworks standardise this. Yes you might not always like certain aspects of the framework you're using but its the price you pay for not having a project full of developers who each have their own way of doing things and are constantly argueing over how to organise the codebase.

Also this hyperbolic use of the word "evil" is immature and dorky. Sorry.

How to Be a “Great Student” and Learn Absolutely Nothing at All
German car makers don't have infinite money. They run huge operations on tiny margins and cannot afford to cannibalize the sale of their upper-end cars with cheaper electric cars.

The Model 3 is comparable to the C-Class in both price and size but vastly outperforms the C-Class on driving performance if the reviews are to be believed. The bling-bling leather, chrome and wood of the German high-end cars is more luxurious, but is not for everyone.

Let's see. My guess is as good as yours but I think the Germans will bleed if they don't transition to EVs very fast. If Tesla has the market for itself in all of 2018-2020, it might be too late for VW, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

Right now, they have plans and talk, but not a single competitive EV on the market, no fleet of hundreds of thousands of self driving cars recording and learning, no network of superchargers, no thousands of talented EV and AI engineers, no remote update, no battery factories.

I sure hope they wake up. Competition will only be good for us consumers.

By strange coincidence companies A, B and C are awarded the prizes every year (usually with slightly different names each year, or rotated from last years winners).

This is interesting. Teeth are of pretermined shape and size to fit the jaw, or the jaw the teeth "assume" will be there. The jaw's shape and size is determined by what/how you eat. For humans with a "traditional" diet, that assumption is correct. For us, it isn't.

This is very specific to humans though, and the specific problem of "overcrowded" mouths. But teeth have other issues, and in other species too. For many animals, teeth are the thing that fails at old age effectively capping lifespan.

That's the modern time, businesses don't aim to make a profit anymore, they aim to grow. AMD is a good example of this practice, it usually ends each quarter with a half a billion in losses [1], with some exceptions here and there. It goes from an almost 4 billion loss to a 1.3 billion profit. It's amazing it still exists, but that's what investor money is for I guess.

> "However, there is a problem in terms of the growth of end-to-end encryption. "It’s a problem for the security services and for police who are not, under the normal way, under properly warranted paths, able to access that information.”

What surprises me about this argument, is that their stance is that terrorists are accidentally starting to use encryption. So, by consequence, that in the past terrorists simply did not bother with encryption?

In that case, I wonder whether the terrorists have been triggered by the simplicity of current day cryptography, or simply by the knowledge that the governments are always listening in on everything everyone is saying.

It seems to me that someone started an arms-race, be it government or terrorists, and both are willing to cause massive amounts of collateral damage in order to keep one-upping the other.

And what does a BMW 3 series cost, which competes with the $55000 Model 3? That price currently includes all options, including the enhanced auto pilot. I looked onto the BMW configurator this weekend, and depending on the options selected, it is somewhat cheaper or more expensive than the Model 3, on average, they are very competitive. If you don't need the high range battery, the Model 3 is likely to be cheaper even (if you don't count the basic BMW with a 3 cylinder engine and 129 hp).
I find it really odd the US doesn't have washing machines in apartments.

The analogy of pouring waste is not accurate, we are looking at what is done with the service, e.g. it would be the equivalent of allowing drinking the water but not cooking with it, or using electricity for specific devices. The contract is a debit/volume, what I do with it is irrelevant, and by this analogy on the web I should be allowed to scrape if I stay in the allowed bandwidth by the website.

You still need to set up the SMTP server with this solution.

Creating the relay is the hard part of any mail service because even SMTP aside, you need to set DNS entries on your FROM domain to authorise your SMTP relay's IP (otherwise spam filters will just block your email). And if it's regular commercial mailshots then you'd need to register with one of the trusted services (which isn't free) and have all sorts of controls like rate limiting in place - again so you don't just get rejected as spam.

Honestly, I would welcome a complete ground up re-implementation of email - SMTP, POP/IMAP and all. The "very simple protocol, that's matured for decades now" is really just a mess of different protocols - different authentication models, different encryption methods, etc and all operating without a standard format for error handling. Plus all of the additional bloat bolted on to handle the swell of abuse that the email "network" has had to endure. There's nothing simple about email any more.

However going back to the topic: the unfortunate thing about this REST API is it seeks to solve the least complicated part of the whole SMTP stack.
