I think that's likely. If it was microwaves, and they were still transmitting at high enough power to injure people, you couldn't miss it if you looked.
The definition of "working poor" they use is not "having two or more jobs" but "earning less than 60% of the median".

According to IAB 2.7 million workers have a second job in Germany (which is about 1 in 12). Most of them probably because they don’t earn enough in their first.
Wow. They continue to dig deeper in this mess. I got that email and it looked so sketchy that I marked it as phishing. Do they have no one actually thinking this through?

It's a shame we have to wait for the lawsuits to have an impact on them since we aren't their customers and can't take our business elsewhere.
So, I read that paragraph, and the section I think you're highlighting is this:

> the Supreme Court has clearly and repeatedly confirmed that the border search exception applies only at international borders and their functional equivalent (such as international airports)

but that line cites https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Martinez-Fuer..., which is weird because it says the opposite.
Even if that is true the media will want to demonize them to rile people up, and then politicians can further use Cuba as debate point for distraction for more serious issues going on domestically.
Ah, this is neat! Would be nice to have a script for this that you could just point at a local copy of the source tree too!
It's supposed to mean that wondering something akin to "it's just math, how can it be illegal" doesn't mean much in an era when math are not just some abstract theory or things used to measure our plots of land, but are at the core of very important technologies with great applications and huge implications.

Not to mention that with digitization, every file is "just a number" anyway. Top secret document leaked? Naked photos of an ex posted for all to see? "Hey, I just shared a binary number on the internet" doesn't really hold water.

It might be politically abhorrent to persecute people for such things, but absurd it is not.
Tragedy in the Hill by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren
The things you mention are easily turned around (I certainly don't support the CCP, however).

Maybe the Chinese are very efficient with their money (try living on $4 a day in the US; or what does $4 mean in China?), or don't need as much money due to... a socialist system and/or, if you prefer, Hong Kong Post. Maybe they've started to realize the dream of Star Trek's "economy". ;)

"Consider the aggregate IQs of rural and urban/suburban whites [in the US]. During the 1970s according to Wordsum-IQ data, the intelligence gap between whites raised on farms and those who grew up in an urban/suburban background was enormous, almost exactly equal to the white/black gap. The data would indicate that a non-trivial slice of the white farmboys of the 1970s suffered from clinical mental retardation".

Absolutely not, and no one is suggesting this. But it would be completely foolhardy to say you're going to "bring back coal" when that's just not going to happen.

And please, stop with this "Dems have no plan" narrative. It's entirely false, and it's quite dishonest to bring it up when even a cursory Google search will prove it wrong.

https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/workforce-and-skills/

So Dems do have plans. But the problem is that many of the people in those areas don't want to hear that their previous jobs are gone. They don't want to retrain. So they latch on to the people who say things like, "We're gonna bring back coal jobs," regardless of how realistic it is.

This might be a bit more on the national zeitgeist than the others mentioned so far, but I recently finished Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow and am now halfway through Chernow's George Washington. They're very dense, but very readable. I'm enjoying them thoroughly.

I also recently finished Beneath The Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan. He's normally an epic fantasy author, but he wrote a narrative account of a true story about a young boy in Milan who spied on the Nazis. I highly enjoyed it.

To hijack this thread a bit, though, I'm interested in reading more about the Cuban Missile Crisis. Can anyone recommend a good book on it? (Something digestible yet info-rich, like Chernow's books, preferably.)

This almost always happens. Because in order to achieve what they have achieved, they had to give their citizens a certain amount of freedom.

Generally when the new generation becomes old enough , it would have never seen why people are afraid of the rulers so much, then it becomes a situation of a showdown.

Though it doesn't always have to end with a bloody outcome, for instance Spain went from dictatorship to democracy quite peacefully after it's dictator died in 1975.
>very existence of something that arose specifically to counteract the rise of feminism is a slap in the face to the struggles brought forth by women

Alternatively it is a group of people who disagree with what feminism has created and who considers themselves unjustly harmed by that movement. You can choose to smear them, of course, but if you do they are unlikely to want to help you and you should not be surprised when somebody else gets their support by trumping their course.

Or you could engage with them, try to understand their point of view and maybe, just maybe, reach some sort of common understanding.
Yes, but what is being said is that Rousseau and Hobbes and Locke are ingrained in Western culture in much the same way that Confucianism is ingrained in Chinese culture. Lapses in the absolute power of Western monarchy opened up a space for an Enlightenment and gave rise to those new ideals, not to mention the prior blows that this style of governance had suffered in the West -- the Magna Carta, more frequent war, rapid losses in colonial territories, and the growth of Catholicism. The collapse of Western monarchy was what brought on the Enlightenment, which then served as a catalyst for further destruction of that system. China didn't experience hundreds of years of rebellion against the government, and for a long time it wasn't openly trading new ideas with the West (whereas the European countries were tied closely together in a lot of political matters). For the most part, the Chinese approach to this power structure was also much, much more defined. Keep in mind that Europe was largely still connected to Greco-Roman history, and these basic cultural foundations called for democracy and republicanism rather than an absolute social harmony.

In the context of today, it's important to remember who the teachers and adults in China are: people who grew up under the Communist government. And with more respect towards the older generation, historically China has had a hard time rebelling against social norms ingrained in their culture. Trying to do away with Confucianism isn't a question of how many people are involved when the elders were all indoctrinated in those ideas by a Communist regime. Even if half the young population of China had independently stumbled upon papers describing these Western cultural values, spreading the idea is impossible when it goes against the CPC's core values, defies the ideas of the older generation, and is completely foreign from what was taught in school.

The fundamental difference between the West and China here is that China has always been under a strong, conservative leadership that these ideas have not been able to permeate. To think that China could simply pick up ideas from Western philosophy misses the point.
We can expect people who are discriminated against and oppressed - I don't doubt this as the case - to explain why and how they were discriminated against so that it can be addressed. We can expect there to be some semblance of discourse. We can only ask that the accusations remain truthful and not go beyond what actually occurred.

Nobody changes their opinion by being badgered. One must have empathy if one expects genuine change. We have objectively failed in this as a society, as is exhibited by how divided we are.

I'm personally tired of hearing how everything is the other side's fault, from both sides. We are drowning in straw men. Until we're willing to listen to each other and understand why people feel the way they do (yes, even those with the most vile opinions), we will continue down this path.
I think that's too optimistic. It seems to me that China manages to control the vast majority of the population. If you have technical expertise and perseverance, you can still circumvent the GFW (great firewall), install WhatsApp, etc., and I think you will continue to be able to - but most people in China don't.

(It's a bit like pirating music and movies in the west - you can still do it, but many people now use the legal options (iTunes, Netflix, ...), because it's just not worth the hassle.)

But the CCP doesn't care about a small elite knowing things.

OP contends that suppressing political discontent and censoring & controlling the communication of the vast majority of people will necessarily impede innovation and economic growth. That's not obvious to me at all, unfortunately.

> In the aftermath of the so-called Google memo affair, there has been no shortage of misleading and in some cases downright inaccurate media coverage painting the author, James Damore, and his supporters in a very unfavorable light.

Personally I think the biggest problem is that people who criticize him keep going "he's wrong" "you can't say that" "saying women are less interested is sexist". It just lets others further their manufactured outrage and act like victims of oppression.

Vs he said things that strongly implied his female coworkers were less competent and he was fired because of the damage this did to the work environment.

> it is difficult to see how one could read his memo in its entirety and walk away with the conclusion that it was written by someone who seeks to keep women out of technology

uh huh. I'm getting really tired of being told I just didn't read it or understand it. I read it. I think Damore is a fucking idiot for writing it that way. I also think the basic idea "maybe less women are interested" is perfectly reasonable to talk about. I think bringing up how much more neurotic women are was incredibly fucking stupid. I think bring up the fact that he's a conservative was just him whining. I think the people who say "it's science" are missing the point. I think his memo was incredibly slanted and discussed no reasons beyond some tenuous biological links as reasons for women not to go into tech.

I also think a lot of the people who keep complaining about how they want a dialogue are being disingenuous, because when someone says something against the memo the response is that they obviously didn't read it.

> a political movement seeking to raise awareness of how gender inequality issues affect men and boys that has long been smeared in the media as misogynistic.

maybe cause it's pretty misogynistic. check their Reddit sometime (although it's not as bad as MGTOW).

but there does seem to be a lot of misogyny in it.

They have real complaints about some things, but I feel like it's pretty easy to why people are turned off by it.

That is generally the long term solution, and the reason this website is saying jQuery is no longer needed (because modern browsers offer a much better and more consistent foundation).

You might need that when you want to reimplement Linux, the Joyent team did that on their OS (derived from solaris) so that user can run linux binaries on a solaris kernel (so thay have dtrace, zfs, mdb, ...) Bryan Cantrill did a bunch of conferences on that (one here: https://youtu.be/TrfD3pC0VSs)

The idea behind is that Linux is only a list of syscalls, if you are able to reimplement them, you reimplement linux, you don't need anything else. On the contrary if you want to reimplement a BSD you need to reimplement their libc (and perhaps some other libraries)

More homage than parody. Virtually all the humor is due to the dialogue, but is driven by the sensibilities of the characters involved... so much so that one of my friends said The Orville was "so, basically Star Trek, but with realistic lines". When characters say funny things, they're mostly doing so intentionally, and the range of reactions to it is weirdly realistic.

Because having access to even a fraction of China's market is a huge boon to any company, as is having access to Chinese manufacturing. And playing along with China has made their society far more open and capitalistic, even if the ruling class occasionally attempts to assert their dominance.

China will progress at their own pace, but however they do it has to be homegrown. Simply overthrowing the ruling party like most westerners want would create chaos, the transition has to occur from within and at their own pace.
I agree but sadly we don't have any plug-in solutions that operate in similar manner. How do you allocate capacity? What if your node has hard upper limit? How do you ensure security e.g. secomp, jails etc. The moment data crosses the DB boundry you need significant investment in ensuring compliance.

The reason Spark ecosystem has been so popular is because it enables these types of computations without breaking the model.
The most surprising thing to me is that WhatsApp was not already blocked in China. I'd just assumed it would have been, given so many other Western messaging apps are.
> and "appeals to traditional values" do not seem to be improving the lives of these people very much.

There's a few things going on here:

1) Many in these communities see success and virtue as intertwined. The idea here is that a person with the correct traditional values plus hard work and faith will have a good economic outcome. If God is present, and God commands us to act in certain ways, surely he will reward us for our faith in all aspects of our life (including the economic dimensions).

2) A person living in an economically depressed area won't have money to hold onto, and his life is usually just a few ticks away from financial ruin, losing his home, losing his car, major health episode, etc. It's an ugly and chaotic state. Traditional values provide constancy and a psychological anchor. I may be in a chaotic state but God is in control, even if things go horrifically bad. The trade-off here is that God sets the rules that everyone has to abide by.
