Right, it's one of those things where you sort of "know" as a gut feeling and applying a little of imagination.

> "... while part goes to maintaining Code Sponsor itself."

If their intentions are "pure" and their primary purpose really is to help open-source developers, they should either be a non-profit and/or completely open and honest and publish the sizes of each "part". Preferably, that would look (at minimum) something like:

October 2017

Income from sponsors: $ x
Paid to developers: $ y
-----
Kept by CodeSponsor: $ z

Where z == x - y, of course.
Its clear from her youtube videos that Naomi has some experience.

However the idea that her persona is "constructed" is not entirely misguided. My guess is the redditor known as "Timaz" (a white person who was part of the Shenzen community and pretty on reddit) is mentoring/working with her.

In her videos you can pretty clearly see that she is working from Timaz's apartment.

This picture[2] from here[3] is Timaz's.

In this video[4] you can see what is pretty clearly the same cushioned chair. In this video[5] you can see the same wide computer screen on the pole that is also in the back of[2]. It has the same tall windows and metal railing outside. Also the same office chair, if you look closely you can see it is exactly the same model.

I think by all of this the idea that there is some connection between Timaz and Naomi wu is clear. Hopefully its just that Naomi is friends with Timaz and has been using his apartment as a workspace.

When you pay the contractor, you pay all your buddies that run and administrate the company too. It is all a staggering money grab, what better job is there than federal contractor that works on stuff so secret that congress doesn’t even really have oversight? That stuff is free money for ever. Plus I think they do it to evade rules, there are different penalties for the government breaking rules and laws than for these secretive companies. Foobar secret LLC could totally just target Muslims if they actually did work and it wouldn’t have to be a constitutional issue if they were ever caught.
Because the legality is set up so that it's only those who have a lot of money who can do this.

This is the problem.

I am all for not paying more taxes than necessary but it should be the same for everyone not just for the few with money to pay the lawyers and pay the fees.
Possibly biased, but at the minimum uninformed. There's a lot more scams there that aren't labeled as such.

> But school has been transformed from an important social institution into a jobs project. Children & teachers are both trapped.

One purpose of mass public education in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was to get kids out of the job market because we couldn't produce enough jobs for the adults. Schools were a way of getting kids out of the coal mines and factories to open up jobs for adults. Another purpose of mass public education was to indoctrinate and prepare them to be good unquestionin worker bees.

Now, education system and its bureaucracy has become so entrenched, a new purpose has formed - to protect teachers' and administrators' jobs. That's the major gooal of the education system.

As for colleges, since we aren't creating enough jobs, we have been trying to push young adults out of the job market by encouraging them to go to college. The loans young people are saddled with are an extra bonus - a chain around the young people so that they will work and give their prime years to corporations by being good worker bees.

matrix/riot is indeed a good attempt but if you are going to modernize it, it makes sense to use a modern stack to keep up with the times.

Philip Greenspun makes a related point: http://philip.greenspun.com/careers/women-in-science
"What about personal experience? The women that I know who have the IQ, education, and drive to make it as professors at top schools are, by and large, working as professionals and making 2.5-5X what a university professor makes and they do not subject themselves to the risk of being fired. With their extra income, they invest in child care resources and help around the house so that they are able to have kids while continuing to ascend in their careers. The women I know who are university professors, by and large, are unmarried and childless. By the time they get tenure, they are on the verge of infertility.
Speaking of fertility... A $400/hour divorce litigator said "Knowing what I know now, I could have made a lot more money going to a bar and working for one night than I have made by going to college, law school, and working for 20 years. It turns out that I was sitting on something worth a lot more than a law degree." What's the cash value of fertility compared to working in science? ... As explained in the Massachusetts chapter of Real World Divorce, child support can be collected until a child turns 23, and, as in all other states, is tax-free. How profitable is child support? By formula (2013-2017 guidelines), $40,000 per year can be obtained from a defendant earning $250,000 per year. However, the actual costs of a child can be collected on top of that $40,000, such as health insurance, day care or nanny, and a child's cash expenses. Subtracting the USDA-estimated $8000 per year incidental costs of a child, such as housing and food, each child yields only a $32,000 per year profit. Thus a woman would need to have two children in Massachusetts with $250,000-per-year defendants in order to exceed the after-tax personal spending power of a mid-career PhD biochemist. However, the present value of the child support plaintiff's earnings are larger because the income stream can start at age 18 or younger and does not require any investment in college or graduate school."
even if they were genuinely surprised, there's nothing stopping them from pulling out, is there? sure, the government can seize the campus or whatever, but the real value to them is the branding + profs, both of which can be unilaterally revoked.

> Same tactic used by r/The_Donald against r/politics.

And yet the irony of it all is that the reason some r/bitcoin users migrated to r/btc was that any discussion even remotely critical of core's decision would get literally removed or downvoted into oblivion, creating a de facto echo chamber that you very conveniently decide to ignore. Just like how T_D readers were forced out of r/politics in the first place.

edit: and regarding your "Bitcoin is for P2P payment claim". yeah sure, as long as you don't mind paying an average of $10 per transaction to make it happen in a reasonable amount of time. the days of the changetip mania on r/bitcoin sure seem long gone.
The gig economy is always going to be more volatile than full-time work. This is why grocery stores had not already hired full time drivers to deliver groceries, and why there is demand for Instacart.

It's the same with Uber. During a rainy day rush-hour there are rarely any medallion cabs available, so Uber created a way to get transportation on those days (surge pricing) that incentiveizes drivers to work during those times.

So normal (expected) peaks and troughs in utilization result in a price signal that reflects demand on a much more granular time scale than simply a full time or part time worker with a schedule planned months in advance.

There are two ways to solve this, and Instacart and Uber are both following the approach that is more economically sound -- pass the actual price signals to would-be workers, so that they can self-select in an optimizing way.

Nearly ever Uber driver I talk to is very pleased to be able to make the money on his/her terms, even if it's not great money, or if it's not as good as it used to be.

If we create an old-fashioned, industrial-era labor market overlay for the gig economy, all we'll accomplish is taking away some good employment options for those who need them most.

All of the "perks" of the industrial-era labor movement are geared at a specific labor/employer dynamic. Uber and Instacart are shifting that dynamic and doing the work of matching supply and demand to make work available that was not available before.

We must adjust our view of what a "good" and "fair" job is, when we consider that without the matching mechanism these jobs would not exist. Let's not kill them off just because someone exploited a loophole about ordering massive size cases of water.

Ultimately I think the ideal version of "uber for everything" is a worker-owned cooperative, but until VC gets tired of helping to prove out the model, such cooperatives are at a disadvantage. That is a temporary disadvantage. Let's not hamstring the cooperatives before they can even launch!
Gah -- reminds me of the press at the time talking about detectable radiation on the West Coast of the US. Yeah -- you know what else is detectable radiation? Stars from light-years away. I was shocked to see Germany respond so strongly to Fukushima.

> when control over the information inevitably breaks down

That's quite an assumption. The CCP appears to be getting better, not worse, at controlling information. They are accumulating institutional experience and technical competence. I see no obvious reason beyond reflexive 20thC shibboleths why this direction should inevitably reverse.

> raising questions about the collection of data from people located in the US

Isn't this the big item here. If this is evidence the govt is spying on US citizens this should create significant legal ground for civil rights/constitution protection groups.
I don't get how the irony doesn't just hit them like a brick. Foreign universities but with central control, like what's the point of even having a foreign university then, just send your kids to Chinese universities if you're that worried they might learn things they "shouldn't". Better yet, stop sending them to university at all since you don't seem to understand the fundamental reason of higher education and you seem to worry about how impressionable and susceptible they are to western thought and the possibility that they might actually learn to form their own opinions.
> the federal government is full of assholes is because people let these people get elected at the local level

I feel that politics in general is a field where sociopaths can thrive. There's a lot of backstabbing, deal making, and pandering I think fits well with that mindset at all levels of government. I think the same could be said for wall street as well.
Just googled that, tremoços are Lupin Beans for anyone wondering.
"There's more than enough evidence about this person specifically, and in most cases, for me/you to feel fine never associating with this person, or working with an organization he's involved with, ever again, even if a court of law never gets involved".

Not least of all, written admission of crime by the accused himself, in addition to corroboration of several incidents of assault by the news outlet. How is the question of innocence is still being bandied when the accused has already admitted his guilt?!! Equally absurd are the futile attempts to foist standards of criminal courts on that of public opinion despite the significant differences between both systems that you noted.
That would however mean the delivery person will believe you intend to tip zero until you actually do. Not discussing whether it is right or not, but I assume that could affect the received service.
C# gets better and better. Working in both Java and C#, I feel C# is way more dynamic and zippier and functionally richer.

Welcome to the wonderful world of news/media/publishing. They have to publish something to get paid.

So they come up with "studies suggest" and other nonsense like it.

Not sure about game wardens, but all state and county park rangers in California where I am at are also law enforcement officers so I assume that makes it a relatively easy transition.
COMPOSITE HACKS

• If Truly you Are In Need Of A PROFESSIONAL HACKER Who Will Get Your Job Done Efficiently With Swift Response, You Have Met the Right Person.

MOTIVE: • I don't care who you are, The reason why I am hired is to simply get the job done however, I engage in"silent" attacks so the target remains unaware of the hack.

MY HACKING CAPABILITIES: There are series of people who needs to Hack their target email I.D, social media websites,apps or smartphones, for many reasons such as husband cheating on wife, girlfriend cheating on boyfriend or vice versa. Or important information needed to be dumped/sniffed from the target email address, website, a particular location, or for whatsoever reason you want to hire a Hacker Or As a parent you might need to monitor what your children are doing on social media and on their personal computers so that they don’t get into trouble. Or if you want to hack a private domain email account(business email), or you want to eraze your name from court’s criminal records, perhaps you might want to Hack into the database of any government agency, All these are what I can get done within few hours.

Frankly speaking, I always give a 100% guarantee on any job I am been asked to do, because I have always been successful in Almost all my jobs for the past 10years and my clients can testify to that . To hack anything needs time though, but I can provide a swift response to your job depending on how fast and urgent you need. Time also depends on what exactly you want to hack and how serious you are. Enough time with social engineering is required for hacking. So if you want to bind me in a short time, then just don't contact me because I can't hack within one hour,sorry. Basically, time depends on your luck. If its good luck, then it is possible to hack within one hour but, if its in the other way round, it would take few hours. I have seen FAKE HACKERS claiming they can hack in 1hr , but there is no REAL HACKER who can say this (AVOID THEM).

If your target account is Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, sexual accounts or other social accounts, Bitcoin wallets, etc, or you want to hack into someones smartphone so you can monitor their calls, read their messages, chats, and social account activities without their notice, Or you wana track someone’s location, Or you want to retrieve lost files,messages, feel free to contact me, we would have a nice deal! I will explain to you how I am going to get the job done.

You can also contact me for other Cyber Attacks And Hijackings, i do almost All

I've gone (ovo-lacto) vegetarian recently and I couldn't be happier. My body feels lighter, my mind more productive and my mood improved somewhat.

My initial intention was to be somewhat "flex" and have meat and seafood once in a while, like once a month, but I've eaten meat only once in 4 months and it was not specially satisfying: it tasted overwhelmingly salty and I wasn't able to enjoy the flavor. I guess I lost interest. Biting into a dead animal now feels wrong, it feels like eating food from a garbage can. Even eggs, milk and sometimes cheese seem like a stretch for me now. I did not anticipate that. In fact, I thought I was going to really enjoy my "meat day" but now I dread it.

Friends ask why I did it. I don't have one particular reason. Just did it. I'm not sure if the planet's better because of me not eating meat. I don't want to sound moral, but it does feel civilized, in an almost naive way, not to crave other animals. But I know I'm vegetarian because my body, and not my conscience, asked for it.

I've always been a proud meat eater. I laughed at my sister when she turned vegan. But I now feel relieved like a criminal that confessed his crime after 40 years in hiding. Trust me, eating meat is not important when you eat from a wide range of sources. Eating meat, poultry, seafood should be a special, almost mystical thing (in some religions it is), reserved for special occasions. It should be local, not global. The massive processing of animals is not only cruel and insanely wasteful, but is quite unhealthy from the epidemiological and physiological perspective.

Floppy disks used to have a tab to lock them (write only mode). The whole secure boot thing could be solved by having a switch/tab that you would have to use when you want to make changes to your bootloader. This would fix the secure boot issue and let us use our beloved BIOS.

In different jobs I have hear coworkers spending several hours dealing with UEFI in order to be able to install linux or enable multiboot. As a final user I don't see any added value except for the secure boot. As others has pointed out here if a malware has enough access to rewrite your boot probably they could do a lot worse stuff like installing a keylogger, a fake browser, encrypt/steal your data, etc.

UEFI looks to me like Inte ME. A tech that it might make sense for enterprise, servers, etc. but not to the final user.

Looking forward to let Intel alone and use more open alternatives but I know that it is very hard to get the same computing power/features in other platforms.
