It's not at all clear that Oswald was even involved. It's far more likely that he was on the first floor the entire time, where we was seen minutes before and minutes after the shooting.

We now have video evidence showing that he was not in the window just 5 seconds before the shooting began.

He was seen on the first floor no more than 3 minutes after the shooting took place, and the police officer who saw him insisted that he was not out of breath and did not appear to have just run down six flights of stairs.

The chain of evidence for the bullets is flimsy.

And perhaps most importantly: there is no evidence that Oswald was capable of doing this shooting. He was a mediocre shot as a marine, and no evidence that he dedicated himself to long-range training in the intervening years.

The rifle was not in good shape, and wasn't a very good rifle to begin with.

I don't think there's anywhere near enough evidence to convict Oswald beyond a reasonable doubt, though I also admit that I'm not sure what exactly did happen on the plaza that day.

edit: Thinking about those downvoting without commenting - just one thing I want to implore: in our system of justice, we demand proof of built beyond a reasonable doubt. I think that there are dozens of reasonable doubts about Oswald's involvement; I have outlined three (what we know of his whereabouts during the events in question, the chain of custody for the evidence, and the matter of whether he was even capable of the act). If you honestly think that you can look someone against whom there is similar evidence and pronounce them guilty, I'd love to hear your comments on the matter and what specifically you think proves him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. This man died without getting a trial; we owe it to our justice system to take a measured approach about the evidence against him.

What’s troubling is that we don’t have a good way to know how often this behavior actually occurs. Would the IRS have found the missing data if there hadn’t been press about it? I suppose that depends on your outlook and level of skepticism.

Or, put another way, I once asked my father if the state of political corruption in the news had always been as dour as what we see today. He said that this was the worst during his lifetime.

I then asked if he thought that the state of world affairs was actually worse, or if technology had simply made it more well known. He was silent for a long time before he answered. He said that he hadn’t considered that.

Finally, when I was a teen I was frustrated when I was lectured after I got caught sneaking out in the night. My mother, with a healthy degree of smug satisfaction, told me that she was always one step ahead of me. I couldn’t throw it in her face that I got away with it on a regular basis, of course.

You must assume that when you catch someone behaving badly once then there may be other incidents that you didn’t recognize. The worst aspect of corruption is not the time that we found out about it. It’s the question of how much we’ve missed.

A captcha is cracked if it becomes economical to try to pass it over and over again. If you have a script that succeeds in spamming a forum 2/3 times it tries, you've got a successful spamming system.

What they mean by fundamentally cracked is that this method seems to be more robust against minor variations of spacing, font, etc. than CNN-based models.

Pensions and SS aren't considered welfare in the states so it wouldn't matter how much wealth they had.

Of course landlords set the rent they're going to charge for their property. They're free to do so, within certain bounds established by the market and based upon the value of the property they are renting. A land value tax, which would be applied to ALL landlords in the area, increases ALL of their costs at the same time, which forces ALL of them to raise their rents at the same time. It would shift the entire market up, raising the cost of living for everyone who lives there.

Some employers might try to raise compensation accordingly, but they're going to have higher rental costs too since most employers have to rent their office space. So it's more likely that they'd be forced to reduce the size of their workforce to reduce costs and spread compensation among fewer, somewhat better-paid employees.

The impact on landlords would be immediate, and the impact on renters would be as soon as they get or renew a lease. Employers and employees would see an impact somewhat later, since it takes a while before a business is forced to downsize. Any new housing would be a long way off, well after all of the negative impacts have occurred. New housing may never come, if businesses and workers are forced out of the area to someplace that doesn't have an LVT.

No, that is not the case. There are no requirements that we must have density, that we must accommodate everyone who wants to live on a block or in a zip code. That's not how property works.

Yes, there is a social contract that ends up codified into zoning/code, but that is governed by local government, which is governed by local property owners.

EDIT @ closeparen: I'm really sorry to hear that you feel that me supporting property rights are cartoon villainy. They are the foundation of modern civilization unfortunately.

EDIT 2: > What you're really talking about here is the political power over others that's embedded in property rights. This power is ultimately delegated to property owners by states, and the correct response (and what we're starting to see in CA) is the state seizing that power away from property owners and granting it to the population at large.

You're suggesting subverting democracy. Again, in violation with a democracy that is the foundation of modern civilization. To deprive someone of living in your own home is not a violation of their rights. Socialism I can support, but not communism (ie "the state seizing that power away from property owners and granting it to the population at large").
This is a good post!

He's brilliant. After learning he contributed to a massive amount of CS and Math articles on Wikipedia, Wikipedia has become my goto for those types of articles.

The pro-market argument falls on deaf ears. We don’t need to deregulate, we need to regulate smarter. Low density uses such as low rises and houses are wasteful and unsustainable, and should be as difficult to get approval for as skyscrapers are today. Public policy should not back down. It should seek to lower-bound density rather than upper-bound it.

I think there’s a decent contingent of YIMBYs who do oppose development - the suburban kind. I think it would be productive to reframe as pro-density rather than pro-market.

I don't know about London, but in lots of these places, occupancy is determined on the honor system. They don't check power/water consumption or lights on at night like other places.

They did a study a while back using power consumption stastistics that was quickly hushed up as a state secret.

Software seems to actually be progressing at such a slow pace, I don't think more frameworks to do the same old things are helping.

It seems to be harder to retrofit a new format onto an existing framework, than to write a new framework altogether. Once the new framework is out, it will be replaced by another shiny framework that offers a brand new feature that is actually a rehash of something old.

I'm optimistic that there will be something next that will replace framework churn, but what?

Companies don’t actually have flexibility on this. There are Generally Acceptable Accounting Principles (GAAP) that govern how you must handle various kind of expense or profit.

In the case you provided, the revenue must be booked when it is payable under the contract - if it’s invoices in yearly installments, then it comes onto the books at that point. The capital expense for the equipment must be depreciated over its useful life, not when it is purchased.
The question is, access to what?

Access to encyclopedic knowledge? Sure. Access to academic literature? Would definitely be a net positive.

Access to the ramblings of every human in existence? Not sure why this would be so necessary.

Quick edit to add: anything that requires instantiation to justify said "right" doesn't seem like it vibes well with the definition of the word "right." For instance, how could the right to internet exist if the internet didn't exist? This is opposed to people's need to communicate (free speech), their need for a safe place to sleep, or to satiate their hunger and nutritional needs. All of these problems exist by nature of us being human, and are inescapable in life by definition. Thus the rights, that we have today to protect people from succumbing to painful and undignified suffering when these needs aren't met, are justified. The same cannot be said of a recent technological invention. No one needs the internet to live.

It's not exactly 'cheap', but if you need 100-140Gb a month there are data only sims for $70 monthly from Optus and resellers. They guarantee minimum 12Mbps supposedly. In metro areas with the latest LTE modems people are pulling 200Mbps down.

If you need lots of data though, the cost becomes less viable.

This is far from the truth. This is a piece of code that everybody has wanted for the longest time (surface allocation is far from a solved problem), the solution was discussed with the nouveau developers at XDC2016 and XDC2017. People from ARM and Red Hat have both contributed to the project.

I went to school in the 90s-aughts in a school district where the median household income was ~15% below the national average. The rationale I always heard for the 7:45am high school start time was that some teenagers needed to work after school jobs to help support their families, and if school ended too late they would just drop out.

I know live in a wealthy school district (with very good athletic programs) and high school starts at 9am.

In both places at least some of the athletic/band programs started before school.

Just an anecdote though, I never heard that rationale from an official source.

>use it to buy something that is literally impossible for them to repatriate

The asset being fixed in place does not prevent capital outflows. Plus it depends on the purpose of the investment - If it's a means of just parking money, then the only real impact of the purchase is to deny the same purchase to a citizen of the country. That's not a massive issue unless you have a housing shortage (which NZ does, not aided by it's high level of immigration).

If on the other hand a return is expected on that investment then you end up with a situation where house prices raise due (in part) to foreign investment, but people still need to live somewhere and so they rent those houses back from the foreign landlord. This absolutely leads to rent extracts which flow out of the country.

I like apartments, and would probably still live in one if I lived in an area with reasonable rent control. The last time I lived in an apartment, the rent raised 20% one year, 20% a year later, and then I left when they wanted to raise it nearly 30%. (original rent was $2000, the last rent increase pushed it over $3500)

Housing prices rose during that time, but not commensurate with rent. I ended up buying a condo outside of town. But I'd rather have the flexibility of an apartment -- if I get a job farther away, I'm pretty much stuck with the condo, but if I had an apartment, I could live closer to work.
