If you click through to the page the article is referring to, his description of the problem is far better than Ars' summary[0], and he basically says some of the things you said. He is however more pessimistic:

> There will undoubtedly be many proposed solutions to this issue. Ultimately, though, any method that ends up giving users a legal entity is fatally flawed. As a result of how extended validation certificates work, browsers have few options to fix this. Having said that, they can take steps to ensure EV certificates do not override other critical parts of the user interface, like Safari does.

I'm not convinced that 'Welsh Lamb' is in any real sense a regional traditional food that differs from English lamb, but on consumer protection grounds I also don't reckon that you should be able to label random lamb as Welsh anyway. And some others ('Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb' is the one I know best) really are quite distinct from their equivalents elsewhere and really should be recognised as its own thing.
There's also a massive variation in standards. You'd think price and quality are correlated but one does have to perform due diligence as private hospitals routinely overcharge and prescribe unnecessary tests/procedures.

A bigger problem is that the justice system in India is (almost?) dysfunctional so good luck suing a private hospital if things go wrong. Your only hope is that the media picks it up, which can force the government to take action, e.g. [1].

Upload speeds are often that low to increase download speeds. If you have the option between 30/30mbit or 50/10mbit, most users will have a much better experience with 50/10. Upload speeds beyond 10mbit/s are rarely noticeable for standard applications of most users (streaming, surfing).

It also kind of prevents people from running servers at home but renting a server with average connection quality (what you'd get at home, no multiple redundancy and excellent peering) is not much cheaper than the energy costs of running it at home (at least in Europe). So I doubt that this is the main motivation for ISPs.

> Any place in Japan has basically power lines all over the place, even in cities

For the record, there is an ongoing debate in Japanese urban centres on whether these lines should be placed underground for good.

They are a function of the astonishingly rapid development Japan underwent in previous decades, when nobody really cared about details like the urban landscape because they had "more important things to worry about". There is an argument that, now that wild development is over, it's time to move on and improve regulations for stuff like this.

The counter-argument is that anything underground in Japan will suffer from continuous earthquake activity; that it has become a distinct characteristic of modern Japanese life (precisely thanks to depictions in all sorts of media); and that it would be extremely expensive and hard to scale, since Japanese density in urban centres is so massive. The current system can look ugly, but it works, it's very flexible and cheap, and it's pretty easy to repair.
With PuTTy you have to open a separate application and configure connection in a completely different manner. Compared to Linux/OSX which enables a "work in a terminal" model, where "ssh", "scp", etc. are commands that can be used from within an existing terminal. It feels like a completely separate tool from the terminal instead of integrated with the terminal. I think this is a similar argument that users of text-based-editors (vim, emacs) have over using GUI-based editors.

I work in the public sector and our sysadmins have actually made a game out of tricking people into updating to Windows 10 (and allowing them to take back admin rights in the process). Like offering Office 2016 upgrades, but only if you upgrade to Windows 10 too.

I understand it’s much easier for them to manage things this way, but they’re not going to have the results they want by going about it this way. When my Windows 10 “upgrade” comes, I’ll just be dedicating one of my monitors to my own Arch (maybe Qubes) box where I can actually get shit done. I’m a C# dev too, which makes even less sense, but requesting permission to install simple dev tools is not going to happen. Life is too short for this nonsense.

No it's not in the consumer's best interest. I really don't care if I'm drinking Champagne or Prosecco, as long as it tastes good.

Instead of this current racket, where food names become less clear, the regional food manufacturers should be forming associations that build brands. These brands can then utilize logos, trademarks, anti-counterfeiting designs and other enforceable IP to stand out as being "Original Champagne" or "English Cheddar," or whatever is needed.
What you just described honestly sounds a lot like direct pay here in the states. If you google “direct pay doctors” in your city you will find some.

Doctors offering direct pay are cash only. They charge a small monthly fee. Here in Missouri it’s about $100/month. For that $100/month you get seen the same day!!! I haven’t been able to get seen by a doctor the same day since I was like 5 and that was 1980. Usually it’s a week or so before an appointment can be made. You also get an hour with the doctor. No rushing you in and out to increase turnover. Most things up to minor urgent care are included as well including stitches and lacerations. You only pay for materials used. Which is usually very cheap. A couple bucks for gauze. A couple for stitches. Medication and labs massively reduced from insurance rates. Flu shots are free. Etc

Direct pay providers are becoming more common as more and more doctors say “screw insurance and federal government red tape and regulations”. They are just absolutely done with the mess and pain of insurance and government regulations. Most even provide house calls! House calls! I haven’t seen a doctor do house calls since little house on the prairie!

Seriously if you are in the states look into it! The wife and I are more than likely moving to direct pay with a high dedeuctible catastrophic insurance plan this year and we will be saving over $500/month on our employee provided Cadillac insurance plan.

To be fair, if you find yourself taking a strong moral stance opposing Thiel, you’re probably in the right.
OK, so only apply this system to someone once they miss an appointment then. At some point people have to take a little bit of responsibility. If you don't need an appointment anymore just call and cancel. Oh but what about those who can't top up their phones? What about what about what about...

This is 20% of appointments. I in no way believe that 12 million people in the UK can't afford a fully refundable £10 deposit.

The level of assurance you get with a signing key downloaded over HTTP and one downloaded over HTTPS is roughly equivalent. Sure, HTTPS gives you a degree of protection from MitM attacks, but it won't stop attackers (whether criminals or militaries) from hacking the web server and changing both the software and the signing keys---after all, if one is possible, so is the other.

What the article failed to mention, is China already invested tens of billions into the RAM and NAND Fabs. And they have tens of billions more in their War Chest.

>Price dumping to kill the competition is illegal.
I know it is illegal in EU, not sure about US and Canada. But I am pretty sure there are lots of place in this world where this is perfectly legal. Including China.

Micron already have a few cases where their employees were poached by these newer companies and stole their trade secrets.

All those Chinese Fabs are planned to be up and Operate in 2018. In typical Chinese fashion these likely lower quality of NAND and RAM will be sold at cost. There is no such thing as "race" to the bottom, they pretty much start at the bottom already.

Since China planned to have 50% of its electronic devices sold within China to be using their own component, most Chinese manufacture, Huawei, Xiaomi, VIVO will likely follow suit to be "politically correct".

I dont know when it will start, but i expect a collapse in RAM and NAND price soon.

I remember hearing from some old salty in the oil business that geologists are the wrong people to ask about peak oil. They always understimated future discoveries. The ones that tended to get it right were finaciers and investors.

The idea is that geologists have their noses down in the details of practical, useful knowledge that they have or can get. Financiers don't really know anything, just that wells have been found in the past. They just model things like exploration money, the rate and quality of new finds, oil prices, production costs...

There could be somethng similar here. The real technology people see mostly problems. All the stuff that would need to be solved, that they have no idea how to solve. The fact that we don't even know what intelligence is. The frauds making audacious claims.

Outsiders see drones, self driving cars, spam filters, google search, chess, face recognition, translation, chatbots^. They see that voice recognition now works. I reckon medical diagnosis might do something soon. In any case, it seems that pone way or another, these add up to something. ...just as a hunch.

Obviously I don't know the answer and this whole comment is based on an anecdote that may not even be true. Still, I don't discount the possibility that the unwashed masses are right.

> A well designed ui should be learnable while being used

Strongly disagree with that one. A UI that lets you work in the most efficient way (e.g. vi) can also be well designed, even if it's incredibly difficult to learn.

> creating a fresh learning repo for dedicated learning for fear of losing data while using the tool in your "real" repo is the ultimate red flag in terms of usability.

Again, strongly disagree. Git is a powertool. You don't let loose a powertool if you don't understand how it works. Creating a fresh learning repo is merely acknowledging that you don't know the tool well enough yet. There's nothing wrong with that.

There's a big difference between being noob-friendly and being user-friendly. Personally, I hate noob-friendly tools, because they tend to just get in the way.

Google has more competition for web search than for YouTube search; they could make the latter better but face no competitive pressure to do so.

Sorry, that page is a complete misinterpretation of the actual laws. This question is only of declaratory nature of already established facts and has no influence on the actual taxation status (if it ever becomes a court case that is thoroughly examined). You do not become a member of a religious entity by answering a question there (the state has no power at all to decide to admitting new members) – mistakes made while filling the form are always curable. It's the same thing as with marriage status on the same form: You do not simply become married by answering a question there wrongly nor can you claim tax benefits by doing so.

There is no difference between the "Körperschaft des Öffentlichen Rechts Katholische Kirche Deutschland" and the worldwide catholic church. That's a single entity.

(I say that as a non-religious person that never has been a member of a religious entity. If a community decides to tax its members they should be free to.)
The simple answer is because it was rolled out in the 1980s, far before the Internet existed in its current form.

When you're running a browser, the cursor doesn't change when hovering over a link. I know it sounds nitpicky, but I kind of want/need that. I did some digging around and didn't get any solution. Are you OK with that, or did you find a workaround?
> Now you're driving out higher production values in trade for shorter, more frequent videos.

The market does that anyway, though. Ask any YT creator, or just looks at the stats for the two approaches in the same niche. Frequency (with a minimum bar of quality) will beat out infrequent but very very high quality every time. It's better to post 2 minimally edited, acceptable quality videos every week than one high production value video every 2-3 weeks.
Oh you fancy people with the ability to download and execute things.

I'm not sure it is. First, that forces you to put a serious effort in perspective. And then you just can't draw black lines, you need to draw the technical devices that they connect to (transformers or whatever). This requires either technical knowledge or ground research.

> an H1-B visa isn't supposed to satisfy all of your desires for human betterment

I wasn't worrying about human betterment; I was worrying about US betterment. We are not better off by keeping future superstars out of the country.

> It's a temporary worker visa for a limited quantity of higher skilled immigrants

The H1-B visa is a dual-intent visa. It is not solely a temporary work visa. It is intended to bring skilled workers to the US and to sometimes get them to stay.

I am already in that country (the US)

1) this is from the perspective of the employee. Since Apple does what everyone does, they add 21% to the purchase price, therefore the employee buying the final product does bear this cost.

2) what you're saying might be true, but it shouldn't. And it certainly isn't true for non-multinational businesses. They (should) pay 21% on their (revenue - COGS). Of course Apple fakes this (like FB, GOOG, XOM, ...) by including "intellectual property from Apple Bahamas" as a resource all their products are "made from", and it "somehow" eats up all of the profit they would normally have to pay VAT on. But this is tax avoidance/abuse, and not the normal case. Frankly, this should be illegal, but that's impossible due to international treaties.

So perhaps you could say that since Apple is a big multinational it is a bad example as that makes it much more complex. But it doesn't change how taxes work for everyday purchases.

Make it "a locally made can of beer" and none of this applies at all.
> Filecoin's ICO seems to be one of the few exceptions to follow securities law.

> You're implicitly making the assumption that an algorithm is unbiased and less likely to be fallible - and unlikely to be susceptible to bias or manipulation (at least, compared to a human). There is a considerable amount of academic and popular literature showing that these assumptions are false, at least at a technical level.

No, I'm arguing that algorithms are transparent, which means that they can be adjusted.

> deciding whether a video is appropriate or not for monetisation is something that requires an explicit understanding of the social and cultural context which the video is going to be viewed in - which is both highly subjective and difficult to express in an algorithm.

Certain cultures think it is acceptable to stone women. In their societal context it is OK. We do not, however, care that it is OK in their societal context. So we make sure that in our algorithm stoning women ==> demonetized. Now we move onto the next problem. Did someone flag a video that we processed that had women stoned that was not demonetized? We open a ticket with the people responsible for that model, with the video that was not demonetized and have them figure out why it did not happen.

That's how you solve a complex problem. You break them into simpler ones and when you see an issue you address it. Claiming that the problem is just too complex for algorithms is avoidance.
