> That kinda flies in the face of one of the main purposes of society I pointed out, though - protection of property. I'm not saying it's wrong, though.

When you're protecting property that only exists because we all agreed to have a certain kind of system, adjusting the rules of that system to suit the desires of "we all" so the prosperity (or property) said system creates is distributed slightly differently isn't exactly a failure to protect property.

> You mention 'if inequality additionally...' that doesn't mean inequality is bad on its own merits. Do you believe inequality is bad on its own merits?

Since the things that wealth gains a person (material, influence, opportunity, psychological/ego support, health, and so on) are the entire reason anyone cares about wealth and not meaningful separable from "its own merits", of course.

> While those two you listed are alternatives, they are not the only alternatives. Hell, you didn't even point out the 'we can do nothing and keep things as they are' option.

We largely willfully ignore (it's someone's will, anyway) that our political system includes the rules that allow our economy to prosper as it does, and that those rules ought to be there to serve us all, since we all have a say in them and they exist for us—if we hold as important the ideal of a government by and for the people. So again, I think we effectively abandon that sphere of public policy to the wealthy under propaganda that makes many believe it's immoral to change the rules of government to suit one's needs or wants when those changes happen to disadvantage the rich in any way. In such a case the modifications are said to constitute class war (boo!) and stealing (boo!) and are just so unfair (boo!). A position which might hold if our government weren't responsible for the edifice that allowed such wealth to accumulate to begin with, and I don't remotely just mean protecting property—so if we want to get rid of all that stuff and its benefits, then maybe there's an argument for making addressing inequality beyond the proper scope of government.
Those who missed the boat and now hope everyone else's fun will be spoiled fail to notice through their already shaky logic that this problem is being solved. Proof of stake means we don't have to waste nearly as much electricity for a functioning cryptocurrency. There are already coins using PoS successfully (Lisk, Peercoin). Ethereum plans to move to proof of stake. Can we stop beating this dead horse?

Yes. Programming by coincidence is the norm. Seems to work, must be right.
I have a friend who says something is "reasonable" when he can't think of a specific justification for it. I feel the same way about appeals to common sense. They rely entirely on the predisposition of the audience.
That seems... worse.

It'll force companies that are still growing with a powerful CEO to stay private (or possibly just be destroyed, if they're already public) because of CEO churn.

The effect of that will be that 'in' parties will get to participate in the growth, while the greater market (eg, retirement funds) get cut out of that. The effect will be that the rich get richer, while the public subsidizes their gains by buying in only at the very tail. (Essentially, just pushed down the line even further than now.)

I think America actually is powerful because corporations aren't democratic. It allows the US to function as a macro-democratic republic (where the public controls the rules of the game) but micro-feudalistic society (where you have fiefs implementing those rules). Kings are efficient; republics are stable. So our infrastructure is republican, while our 'features' are feudalistic. If you believe in capitalism, this allows for efficient distribution of resources.

What I think the US does wrong is not lubricate the transition between fiefdoms. Social safety nets lubricate transitions so that inefficient (poorly managed, badly conceived, etc) fiefdoms collapse quickly but the people who are involved aren't harmed and can smoothly transition into other ones of their choosing. That's the creative destruction of capitalism, optimized.

So from my view, it's not that the problem is how corporations are managed, it's that America won't invest in her ideals -- at a societal level. So of course they don't work.

China has the same problem the US has. BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) control most of the Internet in China. So China only enforces the claims that NYT makes, at least for the China market.

> 7 billion people in the world. 1 million startups would mean 7000 people per startup. Yes I think millions sounds right.

You may be right that there are millions of startups, but this particular test seems a little... speculative.
An occasional misspelling and slightly variable speed would make it more authentic :)
Interesting. It's a bit of reinventing the wheel (Novena, Pandora/Pyra), but I can definitely see the appeal. This is a way to truly "own" your own system, because you have complete control over every aspect of its existence.
That's actually an interesting stat. If there are ~115 million US households and 20% have > $100,000 income, that is ~23 million households. If 18-24 year olds make up ~9.5% of the population, and we 'assume' they are evenly distributed in these households, then this statement (well 18-24) could be true.
The traditional solution to this problem is to go to war and conscript all the 'spare' men. Get them killed off then sue for peace.

The Apple 30 pin connector was introduced in 2003 when USB2.0 was all we had, and it's a right pain to enumerate a device and persuade it to start sending you digital audio over USB2. Whereas two analog pins Just Work.

Moving the audio to all-digital moves more NRE cost to the devices. It also means there's a potential for the "choice" of rubbish DACs to save cost.
> Second, your distro of choice would need to stick with the exact kernel version used by the phone, and I guarantee if you take any three Android phones by three different manufacturers made in the past two years, you'll see three different kernel versions, each with tweaks made just for that device. Said tweaks would make it impossible to have a distro targeting all three devices even if they did have the exact same kernel version.

Would this apply for the new Purism phone? i.e. if all the drivers are upstreamed into the mainline kernel, does thstnot mean you can use any kernel past the point where the drivers are included, without modification?
It's sweet that they've now merged with Ubuntu GNOME and you can switch between the stock experience and the GNOME Ubuntu's experience simply by installing/uninstalling a package.

If you founded a successful company, how would you feel if you were legally forced one day to resign from running it, even though you've done nothing wrong? Under either capitalism or communism, this seems unfair.
The head changes - the process stays the same.
Without monetary damages, companys would just continue to hire CEOs to take the blame, like a ablative hull.
What I would like to do is use my phone as portable storage device and then plug it in to external processing unit and boot from my phone. The external processing unit could be desktop computer, laptop or tablet.

The reason? When sitting behind my desk at home or office I don't like to be limited with the mobile CPU. I have the required kWhs to power a proper CPU, GPU and run 64GB of memory. I also don't want to run separate computers on each location, because keeping these in sync (OS settings, applications, databases etc) is painful.

Technically we are almost there. We can put reasonably fast flash storage to the phone. USB-C should provide enough bandwidth. On OS software side we would need some work to make plugging in/out convenient. I don't want to do a full reboot every time I "unplug" the phone from desktop processing unit and move it somewhere else. As I move between processing units I would like to keep my apps open, maybe just doing a hibernate/sleep and then waking the system up connected to a different processing unit.

This solution means double spending on CPUs and memory, but desktop hardware is relatively cheap.
> There's always been poorly-written software, poorly-created websites, bad UIs, bad UX, etc...

Yes, but the bad websites in the old days didn't lug in a bunch of unnecessary js to accomplish their aim. I do think things are improving as a whole, like you do, but we're currently on the latter half of a pendulum swing from barebones to over-engineered.
I'm a longtime Surface user; you don't really need 17.04 though - all you need on older Ubuntu version is to install a more recent mainline kernel, and install the artful version of the `linux-firmware` package (in such conditions, the installation process will require an external keyboard and the pre-downloaded package).

Arguably, a Surface device can work well as double device:

- windows as tablet
- linux for work, with minimalist hardware usage (no hw button, no pen, the SP4/SB have no camera support)

The Linux Surface community is mostly made of script kiddies, so it's very unreliable (there are a variety of reasons for this judgment).

My personal favourite options for this mixed use are:

- Surface Pro 3: better compatibility, and cheaper
- Surface Book i5: fantastic tablet

SB laptops above the i5 are expensive, and it's a waste of money for a laptop that is not completely supported (if I have to spend 2000$ on something, I expect sleep to work).
Nope. Just our client's customer's have "balances" which can be in debt.

Usually it's because one of our client's payment gateways is terrible and doesn't record all payments.
Canonical mostly did those projects to assist/enable Ubuntu Phone, in ways the wider Gnome/Opendesktop/Wayland community had little interest in supporting.

With Ubuntu Phone officially dead, Canonical literally had nothing to gain by working outside the community, and had no good arguments for why they should keep on doing their own thing in these aspects.

It must have been a tough decision to make, but I'm sure it was the right one. It was widely applauded from the rest of the Linux-community.
> It's possible for you to unlock the bootloader on your phone to run a custom kernel?

No, due to proprietary firmware and drivers you're tied to a specific Linux kernel version.

Yeah for $9 a year they are getting the service where when their cert expires they have to manually go through all the process again. Making sure to manually create a signing request and keeping keys secure.

For $0 a year with letsencrypt you can have it autorenew and not need any support.

Also what support would a https provider provide other then here are the commands to generate a csr?
I import my pdfs into OneNote and use a Surface Pro to annotate on them and take notes. This works very well for me.
Pure notes, as in summaries of a paragraph of text i just type into a Word Document usually, however i have recently read that handwriting helps memorization, so i might switch to a real notebook for that kind of stuff.

This lag is introduced by vim, to wait for the next keys and see if you are actually inserting them or using mapped key sequence.

It is configurable in vim, but then either you have a lag and you are able to use your key sequence, or you don't and <leader> sequences cannot be used.

So maybe I have something configured that sets it wrong, but I do not see how to reconcile both things.
Yeah but please don't.... or at least don't create documentation or guides with the abbreviations.

Because of over charging it occurs all the time. The prosecutor works to setup an impossible choice where the only answer is to plead out. Take a plea for 2-5 years now or go to trial with the possibility of 30+ years?
You can use proot + debootstrap to install debian/ubuntu for example.
The owners - ie shareholders - can force elections whenever they want. The problem is really one of profit motive; why would they want to replace a CEO who's making them money? The natural trend of free markets is towards consolidation, eventually ending up with a small number of firms which can extract what economists call "monopoly rent".
Why does "True" show me True Detective and "True D" not?
IMHO there's also something in the culture that favours startups in the US vs Europe - my feeling is that in Europe most of the avenues for social mobility were locked down tight by the elite a long time ago, whereas due to relative youth of the US as a nation that process of entrenchment is still underway.
How to cram the night before the test
> There's one trait America could learn more of from many Asian cultures - the unconditional support and care for the seniors in the family.

Can't say I agree that this is a good idea on the micro level (I have one asian parent and one non-asian parent, currently live in the USA, and do in fact financially support my parents), which is what I think you are advocating. I do agree on the macro level.

On the macro side: there needs to be a stronger belief in the interdependency on all ages on the others. E.g. older, and childless couples should be willing to pay school taxes (those kids will grow up and be your doctors, etc) and younger folks should be more understanding that they will need support wen they are older. There's more of a pervasive "I've got mine jack" mentality here which I think is socially corrosive, and of which the agism is simply an example. When your starting position is that a human's value comes from a homo economicus metric, old people end up judged as parasites.

On the micro side, you can have bad parents, bad kids, childless couples, and manipulation, guilt, etc, so the system isn't reliable. Unconditionality is also known in the west, and abandoning it has been a boon: on the "western" side of my family, in my grandparent's generation, the youngest daughter was not allowed to marry as her duty was to look after her parents when they became old. I consider this inhumane.
Well they shouldn't be accessed via http if you're not in your own network. So you can just create a proxy that has a https cert and proxies to http. Let's you add authentication, log access, etc.
It's not that they didn't believe, it's more likely that they believed that God has no obligation to actually participate in such a trail and went with a more controlled solution instead.
Many newcomers using your plugin will have a huge problem when using vanilla VIM. The same problem exist with Spacemacs, Spacevim or other weird things.

If someone don't want to use VIM modal editing why not to stay with Sublime/Atom/VSCode or any other editor? They also have very rich plugins ecosystem. Not mentioning that Sublime is like crazy fast...

To clarify it's not an attack on anyone. For instance evil mode in emacs is also a heart breaking plugin for me. Every editor is made for different workflow, why on earth mix them up? And in most cases it does not work very well.
Err, mind explaining why shouldn't they? I say this as an 'olds' who still uses Facebook (though I've tried Snapchat, but only after they IPO'd).
Yeah, based on Puppeteer and Headless Chrome. You can set it up on your own VPS. That would mean you are paying at least $5 a month plus your time to maintain it. I believe it's not worth the hassle, especially if it's for a non-primary feature in your app.
It's not like we're losing the previous tools completely. This is just switched defaults and net-tools and ifupdown are just one "apt install" away.
You still need to distribute the CA certs so they are trusted by various browsers. Which isn't a solution for the public.
If you have some spare time I'd be happy to have a video chat conversation about the epistomological consequences of academic studies in soft sciences like psychology, sociology and economics and how the experiences of the target audience are always key to accepting knowledge.

Good observation. I will keep it in mind.
The shareholders shouldn't have a say. Only the employees should have a say. The shareholders aren't the ones who are forced to spend their entire lives there.

Otherwise it's like allowing rich foreign investors to vote for the US president just because they own a lot of shares in US companies.
I don't know why you are being downvoted because you are correct. I'd further your post and also point out the correct term to vacuum is still "vacuum". The BBC didn't invent that term like they did "sticky backed plastic".

The mystery of there being more ID numbers in the breach than people in SA could be explained if they were being used in the database as a generated primary key, and since the remaining columns are nullable, they could filled in with data from various sources as it is sucked in. The fact that New_IDn [1] is an bigint leads me to strongly suspect this, since most developers in SA would treat ID numbers as strings, rather than numbers, unless they had a very good reason to do otherwise.

It would be pretty easy to figure this out by stripping out the last 3 digits from the ID numbers in the DB, and then ordering them by the first 6 (DOB) digits. Assuming that digits 7-10 are allocated to males and females sequentially in their respective ranges, there should be much sparser data for higher numbers in digits 7-10 (say, above 5500 for males and 0500 for females) [2], since those people wouldn't exist.

As for the source of the data, I have never owned property, but my email was in the breach, so the Deeds Office isn't the (only?) source of the data. I also doubt that the Deeds Office even records email addresses.

If would strongly suspect a credit bureau or two, since they track historic address data, emails and employers. I have my credit reports that have slightly incorrect address data from SA credit bureaus, and it would be interesting to see if it matches the data in the DB. My wife, mother, and children don't have credit records of any significance, and none of their emails came up in the breach, and my father and I, who do, had our emails exposed, according to haveibeenpwned.

[1]New_IDn is the column name because the original ID numbers tracked race in Digit "A", and this fell away as apartheid was dismantled, so people born before around 1990 had their original ID numbers reissued, and position A now has an "8" for everyone.

[2]A good upper bound guess would be to look at the number of births in a particular year/365/2 (for each sex)
It's hard to go after the FAANG companies for anti-trust when they all compete with each other in so many ways -- facebook and google have multiple competing services, apple, google and amazon all build consumer hardware, and facebook is dipping it's toes in, they all have music services.. Netflix has tons of competitors outside of the big five, but amazon and google both have streaming movie services. Amazon and Google both have cloud services.

Really the only two that have a genuine monopoly are Google in search and Facebook in social networks, and I think perhaps Amazon in online retail.
The actual key generation and cert signing is easy (I did it once, before LetsEncrypt). It's getting your root cert trusted by others and not getting hacked that's hard. I'd rather avoid it if I can.
We need to leave behind eye witness testimony. It has been shown time and again to be misleading and often completely false. The worst part is that the eye witness is usually not lying on purpose, but genuinely trying to help.

Think about everything you did yesterday, now put near exact times on it. It's very hard to do, and if someone pushed or suggested you in either direction 1 hour here or there you would likely go along with it. Now go out to last week or last month. Unless something extraordinary happened on the day in question most people do not have the ability to remember the time or even day. It's just not how memory works.

EDIT

And don't even get me started on jailhouse 'witnesses'. The prosecutor says if current criminal can get person arrested and sitting in jail to talk, current criminal gets a reduced sentence. I'm sure that's completely reliable testimony /s, yet it is pushed and used all the time.

I am of the very strong opinion that it is better to let 10 criminals go rather than putting 1 innocent person in jail. IMO, putting innocent people in jail damages society much more than letting criminals with little evidence of the crime walk.
