Are you seriously suggesting that I posted the comment out of a desire to beat my chest, and not from sheer disgust at the ideas that Urbit's chief and backers espouse? Your words are cruel, petty, and unwarranted.
I think GP means fraud on Equifax's end (by telling you you are compromised even though they shouldn't be able tot ell you that since tha data is fake) to get you to bey into their protection service.
There is. It's still vanishingly small. I probably could have phrased it better.

I sometimes describe myself as 'classic libertarian' but 'libertarian socialist' is also pretty close to my ideals.

Notably, I'm nearing 60 and I've never once had political representation. Not one elected politician has represented my ideals, at least not at the national level. There may be some at local levels, but they wouldn't be in any of the areas where I live(d).

No, no I don't usually vote for the Libertarian Party candidate these days.
I've addressed some of the issues you mentioned.

You idea about subscriptions/alerts is a good one. Right now I don't have any kind of work flow except google sheets, so that would be a bit tricky, but I'll bear it in mind for the future.

And yes, the US is obviously on my list of countries to service.

Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, among many others.
Good point.

Some payment processors credit sellers with just one confirmation. But it can still take several minutes, or more if your wallet client doesn't add enough fee.

Also, with Bitcoin price so high, fees are absurd for small transactions. That's the real problem.

For large transactions, on the other hand, Bitcoin is faster than wire transfer. I can move thousands of USD in a few hours, anonymously through a mixing service. For ~2% fee. There is the risk of price volatility, I admit.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't specify international transfers.
Frounded upon. Sounds like they still do it.

Agree. Ditto not having drunk the Kool-aid on automated testing, as long as you have a viable alternative to achieve the same end (although I will admit that I find the idea of great monitoring and automated rollbacks a bit stressful on the face of it; you could mitigate that with good discipline around releases though).
Weirdly, the fact that you wrote this comment seems to indicate you are literate and have access to the internet, hmmm.

Satellite internet has been around in various forms since the 1990s. Indeed, SpaceX is launching a significant competitor to their own service in the form of the Iridium NEXT constellation, of which SpaceX has already put 20 satellites into orbit for them.
That would make the 'White culture is under threat' the core message of your post, not "how multiculturalism is horrific". The post you made (and I replied to) talked primarily about criticism to multiculturalism, and white culture is only mentioned a single time.

Cultural globalisation merges all cultures into one common. Small (or less vocal) cultures get less representation in the global culture, while large ones get incorporated more wholesale. Cultural diversity in contrast try to keep cultures distinctive, while also trying to dodge cultural tensions. White supremacists generally require that cultures stay distinctive, but they don't care to decrease cultural tensions. That doesn't seems to fit well for either side, and makes attempts to do so to look as political attempt of associating white supremacists with criticism to multiculturalism.
> A location with bad WiFi and good LTE reception (expectation: WiFi off)

Why are you not insisting that the OS simply disconnect on its own quickly in such scenarios? Why do you accept that manual user action is the right solution? If the phone automatically and quickly dropped a WiFi the instant it doesn’t support data, this problem wouldn’t exist. Instead Apple expects users to get involved in that problem and has now overcomplicated what should be a very simple switch.
It's not the same thing. You can skip a call out of the blue, but after you have had some kind of interaction, is really good manners to have open and direct discussion. Both professionally and in the example you mention.
Of all these players, Apple is positioned best for the future, and I think, it is a testament to Tim Cook's vision. Under Cook, Apple has consistently positioned itself as a guardian of people's privacy. Big changes are coming. The way things are developing, it will be the state vs the big tech, because the Big Tech thinks it can use the data of citizens and it belong to the Big Tech. The state thinks otherwise.

It is Google, FB, Yelp and others, who have taken the information that we supplied, they monopolized it to deliver what? The targeted ads. That's how creative they are...

Yesterday, a friend of mine, was congratulated for Rosh Hashana by FB:NASDAQ on her FB stream. How does it even know it?! What business does it even have to know her Jewishness?

The whole Zuck thing is creepy.
Actually in Europe, it depends of the country but it is pretty heavily regulated. Parties are paid with a mix of public funding (propotional to the number of vote at the last elections, or number of elected public figures) and private donations.

Then for private donation (individual or corporation) there are really low limits. For example in Ireland, the maximum donation for a party per year is about 6,000€.

So sure wealthy people can pay up to that amount, but you cannot really be "bought" for that price. I don't think it is comparable to US campaign finance.

The system is not perfect either because public funding heavily favours existing parties and so, it is harder to run as an independent.
How to Overcome Fear?   12 Needs
I'm not sure about Urbit as a solution, but they have identified a very real problem around the issues of identity and information that is connected to identity.

This essay sums it up nicely, so I won't repeat it. But I very much identify with, and am personally vexed by, the disorganized, Balkinized, online world we citizens of the "first world" are being forced to navigate.

One idea I don't grasp is how an Urbit server might integrate with a service like Facebook. Let's say you could set up your Urbit server to integrate your social news feeds from different services.

Would this violate the terms of service of a system like Facebook?

One could hypothetically create an application that at least would handle submission of personal content to any social network. And it could thereby keep a local copy of the content. But it would have to scrape the site, or use the provided API, to present any response to posts.

The linked article mentions that Facebook sued a company that tried to market an app that would present an integrated social news stream from FB and Twitter. I wonder how they would respond to an app that would let a user setup their own system to do the same thing?

I find the increasing power of the big tech companies disturbing, though I do appreciate the services they provide.
Best advice is don't do this. Your friends are adults, and 1000 people work for a company for 1000 different reasons. It is a job after all. Not everyone is comfortable being given moral lectures.

Would casinos be that honest if they didn't fear being prosecuted? Why can't ICOs be similarly managed?

After all, if someone is willing to violate the law, chances are they won't respect limitations regarding the eligibility of investors - which is, in fact, what we're seeing with ICOs.

Seems like just another example of the known results of Prohibition - prevent legal markets and you'll just have dark markets in which people get poisoned.
He links to a very long Atlantic article about Tristan Harris’ views on how we should control our attention.

After reading and reading and reading about things like “he met me flushed from a Yoga class” and getting more and more frustrated trying to sift out the useful political message, it occurred to me that this was an article designed to hook into humans’ inherent need for narrative and protagonists.
Yes, it is less about "central planification" than "total planification". The former can and did work in many instances, the latter never succeeded or at least never out-performed free markets (still I would have loved to see how Cuba would have fared without the embargo)

Intelligence is scarce, honesty too and information is often only partial. Some decisions are better done at a local scale.

I believe that NASA would have designed computers even without IBM. Possibly even faster but it would have been a tailored computer that would have been very expensive and of little civilian application.

We see it now with SpaceX: NASA sucked at cutting costs. But it excelled at skipping steps and it put a man on the moon in 1969, a goal that vastly outpaced the private space industry, that did not even exist at the time. The whole space industry was quickstarted by this centrally planned effort.

My personal opinion is that the red line that a state should not cross lest it has a complete information and huge stash of intelligence to process it, is price setting. It can have, for many things, a target and try to enforce it (in the case of oil, through some sales quota for instance) but it should use failure to achieve these targets as an indication that it misses some information about the economy or that its incentives are insufficient.

I don't get it why people complain all the time and still use it? Even their parent company Priceline UX is much better, then there's Expedia and other sites. I would never book anything on Booking because it's plain ugly and keeps design from 1998, even Craigslist looks modern in comparison.

Their hiring and interview process, at least in product management - it looked like they are fishing for fresh ideas on what to A/B test on their website. All the talk was focused around it. Answering the questions they didn't give a single direct answer only extremely vague ones. Red flags all around.
It's almost as if you didn't read my posts. You're confused about what a libertarian is. I'm one, and I don't believe I am taxed at a high enough level.

Libertarian is the opposite of authoritarian. Again, it's a broad spectrum on the political compass. There is still left and right. There are extremes and moderates. You're claiming absolutes and being polarized by assuming the loudest speak for every one.

If you read my posts, you'd see that I think Ayn Rand was a moron. You'd also already know that it is far more than just Randians. There's a wonderful Wikipedia article on the subject, if you don't believe me.
If you:

* resize the (unused) root-c partition (use the chrx script to do it for you, if you like)

* mount it somewhere under /mnt/stateful_partition

* use that for your chroots, etc

Then you can safely use chromeos in dev mode, and not worry about the "deadly spacebar at bootup" problem.

Pressing the spacebar takes you out of dev mode, which will involve rewriting the contents of the rootfs partition currently in use. It will NOT repartition the entire drive, so your separate partition will be safe. Just revert back to dev mode, and you'll see its still there.

Or ... put everything on a mini usb stick :)

Lastminute.com and TripAdvisor.

I never make any hotel decision based on booking.com information, other than their price. To be fair, the clue is in the name, make your decision elsewhere and then come back and use them to make the actual booking (assuming it was cheapest). I appreciate this keeps them and their dodgey tactics going but I'll pay that price.
Your point doesn't push the burden of proof unto those that disagree (see Russel's teapot[0]), nor make it OK to skip evidence altogether.

Yeah, but sometimes we have to reduce things to a more simple nature as things must be optimized for brevity and attention span.

It really is a broad spectrum and it's quite possible to have both authoritarian ideals in one category while having libertarian values in a different category.

I do favor the simplicity of the political compass with four points. It has a specific name but I can't think of it at the moment. It is simplistic, and reductionist, but it is handy enough for a forum post and adequate for generalized conversations.

But, as you suggest, it's much more complicated than that. We humans really do like putting things into boxes, or so it seems.
Thank you so much for your comment.
I tried scraping booking.com once, it quickly became obvious that they use many 'dark patterns' in tricking visitors into booking quickly. Not using cookies was the most efficient method in discovering the 'real' price of an accomodation.

But is not just booking.com, 99% of airline ticket sites use the same techniques.

Basically what they do is raising the price on each subsequent visit, sometimes also lowering the amount of 'available' tickets. This creates a sense of urgency.

My advise is always: shop for the hotel/ticket/whatever you like, then open that URL in a new private/incognito tab, so you get a lower price.
OT, but but I find really irksome Veep-type blog posts that jump indistinguishably between what 'I' did and what 'we' or 'our team' did, as if there's no difference.
> Wanting white culture to survive still doesn't make one a white supremacist.

You change the original point. Professing "white culture" is under threat and that other cultures should survive someplace else does indeed make you a white supremacist.

The U.S. was multi-cultural from the start, even if some cultures (natives or blacks) wanted nothing to do with it. This is what made it later stand out and attract people all over the world. You can't re-neg it without turning into a genocidal shithole.
This reminds me of how no one cared about 40-bit crypto in the 1990s because only the NSA can break it, to take one example. Even Snowden's NSA leaks are often relatively old. This is part of why I dislike the debt-based economy. The more money the NSA spends, the more government debt is created.
Ack, I figured it out. The ban does get triggered, but it doesn't succeed because iptables doesn't work on my system -- some module isn't properly compiled for the kernel. Thanks for helping me figure this out!
Well, by the same token ChromeOS is a linux distro.

And in dev mode, you get access to a bash shell, full root access, and a spare vt (so you can run xorg, etc). So you can install anything you like.

Rendering your original complaint moot.
In India there are two kinds of software jobs - the ones at outsourcing firms like Infosys and the ones at firms that make their own products like Google, Flipkart, Amazon, Uber, Ola etc. The former pay the minimum possible, of the order of $15-20k a year. A mid-level engineer at the latter can expect to earn $50-60k easily, plus stocks. Booking offers something similar, at a significantly higher cost-of-living.

If these engineers want to move abroad, they'd usually prefer the US because salaries there are significantly higher.
Higherups will usually defend by hiding behind the process - aka the virtual will and orders of the social golem that is a company.

And nobody alone is responsible for the process. There is not necessary a feeling of responsibility on top- just because powers are granted by the process.
> It's one thing to consider problems that might be in play if a bare majority had arbitrary power. ..... including the United States

The last election for the POTUS had the declared winner elected by an overall loss of 3mm votes.

The UK is plowing ahead with a hard brexit with a 52% majority on a 72% turnout (38% of the electorate explicitly said they wanted to leave), with a minority government propped up by a bribe with a minor political party from Northern Ireland.

I'm sure I can find more examples (and I'm aware that I'm cherry picking examples too), but to say that that you require a "supermajority" in most western countries isn't strictly true. (excuse the phrasing)
Just tried it on my old app and it worked well :)

I think you'll have to roll your own rectangle detection and use heuristics to make it better.

So in mine I assume that the connected object in the thresholded image with the largest number of pixels must be the puzzle. That makes it a lot easier.

Good luck!

This happened to me during tax season no less.

Thank you incompetent USPS employee. We definitely complained about them, not sure if they've sorted that out but I also bought a book not short after that, and you guessed it, my relative got my book instead.

Yes, and it's been quoted and referred to multiple times in this discussion thread.
Moore's law simply says that the density of transistors in CPUs doubles ever two years. It was an observation over the past, and M.Moore (who is still alive and often criticizes Moore's law) famously said in 1965 that he did not see a reason for it to stop for another decade.

Later Intel said that performances (not just transistor density) would double every 18 months, which is different.

Moore's law talks about transistors and we arguably have finally reached a point where it slowed, after having outlived its initial prediction for several decades.

Moore's law, though, was more than an extrapolation of the past: it was an understanding of the causes for the speed of the trend and an examination of what the future may provide by someone who understood the manufacturing process behind CPUs.

Moore knew about CPUs, he was talking about CPUs and transistors. His "law" holds no predictive power whatsoever for PV. You will have to find a specialist about the processes to know if there are any predictable roadbloacks ahead.

2. I never said my friends are evil because of this. I in fact said quite the opposite.

3. The question is not whether something can be used for "evil", but whether it is. If it is, ideally people shouldn't be contributing to it.

4. I have no idea. I'm also not sure how this comes into play.

Well, given the effectiveness that most defense contractors seem to display, they might be doing a humanitarian service. If the government is going to spend that money regardless, it's probably better that it goes into planes that can't fly and boats that dissolve in water than actually effective projects.
You should still be allowed to swim in the lake and enjoy the park.

That sounds naive to me. Without regulation on boat traffic what is to stop it becoming unfeasible to swim in the lake due to all the giant boats and all their docks clogging the lake. Being allowed to do something doesn't matter much if actually doing so in practice is impossible or highly impractical.
