> I just wondering, for normal people, what kind of information you concerned to not be monitored, seriously?

What are normal people in your books? People who don't care what happens to non-violent political dissidents because they themselves are well aligned with their owners? That's not normal, you have to break a human child to get those results.

A child raised by illiterates and being only among them might never care about reading nor writing. So? Does that raise the value of illiteracy in my eyes? Not at all, not one bit. They're still missing out in ways I can't even explain to them.

Specialization is for insects.

-- Robert A. Heinlein

Not to speak for Heinlein's fictional character, but I'd add to the list things like "decide what is right and wrong, what is good and bad". Some people think the group they belong to give them value, I think individual human beings make up groups and give them value. If most people don't care about things I find important for reasons I can articulate, that's just more people to have a discussion with. But just the fact that they are many is about as important as if someone saying something is skinny or obese. I don't multiply the value of an opinion by someone's body weight or how much money they have, and likewise I don't multiply it by how many people have an opinion.

Luckily they don’t :) My Bsc thesis I did in a template another student had made years ago, which swims around, but honestly LaTeX is quite tedious and time wasting to write in for most non math heavy content, which is why I’d prefer something else, that stills allows the same flexibility if needed.

"The wrecks survive in such good condition because at a certain depth the Black Sea has anoxic, or oxygen-free, conditions preventing decay. Many of the ships sit at the bottom of the sea with their masts upright, their rudders still at the ready and their cargo bays full of untouched goods."

As far as I know, this oxygen-free water layer below approximately 150 meters from the surface makes Black Sea unique. Virtually anything drowned in it from the beginning of marine history is in perfect condition. If I was a beginner archaeologist who dreams of big discoveries then I'd look at the Black Sea in the first place.

Can confirm. We had a single-page app that, on navigation, did just one request (REST API call to fetch data), and 15 others for analytics. They fetched JS from the tag manager, which in turn included GA's analytics.js (again, it was a memory leak so if you used the app long enough you'd end up with dozens if not hundreds of lines of analytics.js including script tags), etc.

And getting to the data, getting meaningful information from all that information the analytics team was hoarding was a huge pain. They were like "No throw, only take!" (https://i.imgur.com/q46L4QH.jpg)

tdlr: the scheme is good, but through the scheme he is hiding the fact that he has reinstated the economic advisory committee and it is too convinent to do this just as the nation has begun to realize that they were mistaken about his leadership.

long:

I am not saying that electrification scheme is wrong. I am merely pointing out that there have been too many coincidences.

1. surgical strike happened just a few months before UP elections
2. when surgical strike's glory failed, DeMo happened just a few months before UP election
3. in the first 2 months of DeMo 80% notes were returned, RBI counted 80% notes within 2months but they took 8months to calculate the rest of the notes?
4. RBI report came at the backdrop of the worst floods Mumbai faced since 2006.

I am not mistaken about anything, my good sir. I am saying that this govt doesn't do work and it hides it's failures strategically so that people have something else to talk about.

Remember the jibe "hard work is more important than harvard"? Our great PM dissolved the economic advisory committee which UPA had in place.

now he has reinstated the committee and he announced that during his 2.5Billion $ scheme (which was already present with a deadline of 2018) so that people will talk about electrification but not his utter failure to save the economy.

He has failed the country and the GDP is ruined despite good economic conditions and all they are doing is hiding their laundry under the guises of promotions and even more promises.

and I had said way back during the general elections (to my clg friends) that it would take 3hrs for bhakts to realize how wrong they were and now almost everyone have opened their eyes!

Philosophy comes from "love of wisdom". Totalitarianism, a much better word to use here, comes from abuse and the dysfunctions that grow on it like mushrooms. I'd say the main difference between Asia and the West is that the West is sweeping the insights about totalitarianism deep thinkers had under the rug because actually, we'd love ourselves some smiling fascism; while in Asia they weren't even had. But philosophy can only even start where there is freedom of thought, and fearless people to use it. You can call anything a philosophy or a culture, it's become kind of a filler word, like "situation". Why not just say "it's against control, which is not appropriate in that situation". It's all just saying nothing and handing off the decision to others.
Main point for me:

> students who played a sport sponsored by alcohol industry more likely to report problematic drinking
So you want the PM to destroy our economy even in favourable economic conditions where there hasn't been a drought.

I shudder to think what his brand of Jumla economics will do if they face problems in the next two years. It is clear that they have next to 0 understanding of anything other than giving speeches and 'inaugurating' things which were actually built by congress.

I'll settle for RaGa as PM but not a party which takes decisions just for winning elections. and FYI all the LED/Solar schemes were started by Congress, he has just changed names, like 19/28 schemes or something like that.

and not to mention the utter hypocrisy and the contempt they use to address the middle class.

during UPA time the crude oil prices were 150$ per barrel and petrol was 70Rs per liter, not the crude oil prices are 50$ barrel and still prices of petrol are going up.

and at the same time they are wanting that India becomes a manufacturing hub.

I wonder which school they went to, or if they even went to a school for clearly they don't realize that manufacturing industry works on petrol, everything runs on petrol and petrol isn't used by "people are aren't starving like the car and bike owners"

The MLA aren't starving either, why don't they give up their subsidies?

BJP is doing exactly all the things that they opposed when they were in opposition, rise in LPG price, petrol etal.

That's a very interesting argument, and I do agree that the efficacy of shaming is often underestimated.

The problem I see is that the efficacy of shaming or engaging depends entirely on context.

For example, I think shaming racists on a societal level can be quite effective, if not necessary. Because I do believe much of our current 'liberal' society is a thin veneer over essentially the same kinds of people that have done terrible things through racist beliefs even in recent time. We need to fight to keep that veneer from chipping away too much, and perhaps to discover ways to make it less than a thin veneer.

But shaming a young-earth creationist colleague is likely to have little positive effect (to the degree that these things can be quantified, of course). Said colleague has a sufficiently cohesive, comprehensive social world where their ideas are perfectly legitimate. I'd say in this case the effective approach, if one cares enough of course, is respectful engagement. I've seen it work.

But... in a society where young-earth creationists are sufficiently large to significantly affect your reality, well, perhaps more of a fighting approach is appropriate, at the cost of changing the mind of one person at a time.

Obviously I can't prove any of this. I just know that I've seen overt skinheads and very serious Christians (myself having been the latter until well in my twenties) change their mind and while shaming them might've had some effect, in the context of Dutch society at least, engaging them was by far the most effective.

So personally I try to take a two-pronged approach. Shame/societal pressure in the aggregate, and respectful engagement, even with ideas that I find repulsive, on the personal level. I'm still very much in the dark as to what the right mix is, and what my role in all of that is in the first place, but this is my current approach. I do think you make a good point though, to be clear.

Crypto currencies will probably give us usable micropayments and finally enable us to pay content producer in a better way than viewing ads on their page.

https://www.nngroup.com/articles/the-case-for-micropayments/

This article by Jakob Nielsen already called for them 20 years ago and if you read it today, it doesn't look like we moved a bit considering ads on websites.

The payment overhead with traditional payment options is just to big. Paypal has 30 cents per transactions IIRC? Way too much if you just want to proces a few cents or even a fraction of a cent. Systems like Flattr or Kachingle solve this in another interesting way but it's still not ideal.

Crypto currencies would solve nicely this problem but of course, there needs to be easier ways of getting them and paying with them. I have no doubts that the latter will come quickly (see also the new Payment Request API). The former, we'll have to see. But I'm optimistic and would be surprised if we didn't have that within 5 years.

Separation of concerns was a problem twenty years ago when source code looked like [this](https://github.com/kmainyu/EveHQ/blob/c3406c9cffca744500213f...). Since then the tools & languages have reached, maybe not the optimal abstraction level, but at least damn close to it.

AI Governance – 11 Key Issues
As an European of almost 30, I used to feel America is cool, but I got pretty disillusioned over the last 10-15 years. I can tell the same about many people I know too.

US is no longer a country to be emulated. It's a country to fear (for what they can, and do, to other countries) and a country to pity (for what it does to its own citizens).

China, OTOH, looks more and more cool now. A lot of things that made them seem evil turned out to be exaggerations and propaganda, and while their politics still wouldn't make me feel safe starting a business there, they seem to be the only country on the planet that seems to think and execute long-term. It's something the West is no longer able to do.

Hell, the Chinese currently seem to be the only nation on the planet who seriously care about fixing the climate issues.

China has a great opportunity now to win plenty of foreign mind share. I wonder if they'll go for it, and if we start seeing more pro-Chinese propaganda.
