> It rarely takes a lot of effort to get it right. Why not do so

Because, contrary to your claim, it takes a lot of effort to get it right, since there are a near-infinite number of ways every individual element of description or presentation can be wrong. And it's often a high cost:benefit ratio, because most errors will only be noticed by a small share of the target audience and will only break suspension of disbelief in an even smaller share (conversely, getting it right will often strike non-experts wrong and break suspension of disbelief; verisimilitude in fiction is not actually about matching reality, but audience expectations.)

So, except on the things about which your target audience is particularly knowledgeable and concerned, accuracy may not be worth the effort put into it.
Yeah but you'd need like 1:10 ratio of persons employed to monitor the comms of persons of interest. So there can't be that many persons/orgs under regular surveillance or huge numbers of people would be employed for the monitoring.

I think you all are missing the point. How many accounts are reactivated in the way tzakrajs described, without the users true intention to reactivate? Those numbers are handed to advertisers, analysts and shareholders as “active subscribers,” a metric upon which the company and its advertising services are valued. Just food for thought. It was no accident.

There's a lot of discussion with social media in regards to the impact of mobile devices on children, but I think the easy access to internet porn is arguably just as harmful. There are teen boys with erectile dysfunction because of this. I wouldn't be surprised if it had broader negative psychological and social effects as well. At the same time, I don't think we really have enough information about what the impacts of this really are. I hope some more research is done on this topic.
I don't see that. You must not exercise very good control of your browser ;)
Wow, thanks for the link. His stuff is very cool.
While it would be nice to have online discussion without moderation, in practice it simply doesn't work. There are just too many trolls out there who wreck it for everyone else. (I've moderated online chat for > 20 years, so I have some experience of trolling).

The other issue, which is perhaps more relevant here, is illegal content. Are you saying, for example, that it shouldn't be illegal for someone to put posters up on every street corner in their town saying that Mexicans are all child molestors and should be shot? Where should the line be drawn?

C vs. Rust vs. Go for IDS
I have spent a lot of time writing network tools with Python's scapy module, which I love. I prototyped an Intrusion Detection System using scapy, inspired by Snort, but know it will not be able to process a large amount of packets and want to start programming with a faster, more powerful language.

My issues are:

-C seems like the best option speed-wise but there is very little documentation for doing certain things, like IPv6, for example.
-I can't get a straight answer out of anyone for whether to choose Go over Rust, or vice-versa.

My question is, if I want to write programs that process, parse, and classify a large amount of packets, which of the three languages would you suggest learning?
Yes, I’m psychology there’s a term for that: selfish.

Rather than taking his PC away, you might consider moving it into a shared area of the house and setting a curfew on it. My own experience with depression has led me to believe that some of it is caused by light-exposure and stimulation before sleep and that having a device-free wind-down period can help.

If the final 2 hrs before sleep were a time for non-screen activities (reading, board games or just general family talk), that might be a good compromise between letting him keep it and taking it away entirely.
The author of the article, pseudonym Scott Alexander, lived in Ireland for some time while studying medicine. He's probably aware of the Jacobite rebellion and events like the Battle of the Boyne, merely via intellectual curiosity about the North while in Ireland.
>In just the five years between 2010 and 2015, the number of U.S. teens who felt useless and joyless – classic symptoms of depression – surged 33 percent in large national surveys. Teen suicide attempts increased 23 percent. Even more troubling, the number of 13- to 18-year-olds who committed suicide jumped 31 percent.

Perhaps to a nihilist maybe that's not a bad thing, but to most that's neither good nor nihilism. This is a serious problem.
I have had my teeth filled by a dentist that didn't "believe" in novocaine.

I would have asked if he believed in repeat business—if so, give me the novocaine.
10-12 years ago I would get small dose (5mg or less) Hydrocodone for an infected tooth or pre-root canal

Today it is just high dose ibuprofen, luckily I have pretty good dental insurance now (did not in my late teens and early 20s) so I do not need the dentist for anything more than cleanings but I do think my luck that I went through that pain back then instead of now, taking high does IB would not have let me sleep back in those days as I had to wait for the Antibiotics to kill the infection before they could remove or fill the tooth, that took anywhere from 2 to 7 days (had 2 infected teeth a couple years apart, I was hard on my teeth in youth, a lesson learned the hard way)

> What matters is what people end up doing.

Sure, I agree. My point is that we need to get people to notice that they're on a slippery slope to doing bad things and stop. And that this is easier if they admit to themselves the possibility that they might end up doing bad things.

As you note, during WWII there were people who noticed and stopped. I just wish more had.

There is a practical equivalence between governments. If one government could make the case that they should be informed, then any government who bought systems with "Intel Inside" could make the same argument. If you want to split governments into groups based on some notion of morality then you may want to question why a company would be allowed to do business with a country on the wrong side of that morality in the first place. That's actually a discussion I'd like to see.

I don't know, I just get sick of the feeling that every game needs progression systems. Constant popups telling me I've accomplished something and here's your reward make me feel like all my accomplishments are meaningless and just exist to beef up an arbitrary number on a server somewhere. I really like FPSes, but I don't remember the last time I had fun playing a new one because the skinnerbox mentality takes so much away from the design.

I don't mind modern mechanics that don't have to do with telling me how great I am. Ironsights are great and even going back to Left 4 Dead 2 from 2009 felt like going decades backwards in design. Cover systems range from okay to really good. (Red Orchestra 2 being my favorite on that front) Regenerating health is... okay well I don't like regenerating health much because it encourages corridor based level design rather than the classic exploration you'd get from Doom or Jedi Knight 2 or whatever.

And I'm especially upset that the single "element" pulled in when a game has "RPG elements" is the leveling system. That's not what makes an RPG an RPG, that's just the system that best fits tabletop games.

I miss when I could hop into a game, and apart from skill, everyone is on the same level.

Of course they do not make it illegal, they have learned their lesson from prohibitionist policies on drugs, I can not image the horrors of human rights abuse and violence making candy illegal would bring

They do however regulate and tax to the extreme, For example, how many restaurants in socialized care nations have free refills on soda? How many places in socialized care nations can you buy candy by the pound with just normal sales tax..

>>at least in public

What the hell lets open up another can of worms... That would depend on how you define "public". See in recent years in the US there have been many laws passed the prohibit smoking in businesses that allow general consumer access, incorrectly called "public" businesses. I disagree with these laws as it should be up to the owners of the establishment if they want to allow or disallow smoking in their place of business. For example if a Bar wants to have smoking and you do not like smoking you are free to no go to that bar. However many people in the US believe it is their right to tell that business owner what his policy is, and they have a right to assert their dominance and their view on smoking upon others.

Ingvar Kamprad got mega rich, as accountants do for the rich they have much of it offshore and hidden because they get a piece, but he is probably in the top 10 most wealthy, 50 billion or so [1].

What didn't change is the company focus, very middle class like Costco.

What didn't change is how the company was started, from frugality and internal innovation.

What didn't change is treating employees well as part of your business that directly affects consumers.

So yeah, he got mega wealthy and deserved it and earned those toys. But the company and mission never changed meanwhile many companies in that space folded or moved to focus on upper middle class or wealthy only. IKEA still has a Costo/Sears type of target market that is largely not pursued today. IKEA workers also love it like they do at Costco, WinCo and you can compare that to how Walmart treats retail workers (they treat devs well) in pay and how people feel in the organization. I prefer to spend money at places that treat employees well and pay well.

True from a law perspective, but think about this case.

The US culture needs some changes. We’re still having children bringing guns to school to shoot their bullies. It happened before MySpace and Facebook. There are structural problems in a society where expressions of love are rarer than violence.

Last I knew, kids were still largely growing up in schools where being smart is dumb and prosecuted through bullying. That’s sufficient for mass depression to climb when the rest of life becomes more stressful. I.e. people really are having a hard time finding actually good work that provides health care and a steady paycheck and decent work environment. The opioid crisis has fallouts, in addition.

Most of what I just said was said by the hippies in the 60s.

Have you found any useful applications for it? I’ve had mine for over six months now and still find it kind of useless.

The fact that it “adapts” to the focused app implies that it would do something useful for that app, which is rarely the case. It also seems impossible to customise it to look exactly like it’s physical counterpart all the time for the same reason.

It was not a specific tax that targeted IKEA. But there was a set of taxes and regulations that one could say targeted all major "owners of capital".

Until 1989, the corporate tax was 52%. Yes there were various deductions, but still, 52%.
Then a wealth tax of 2.5% on assets (all asset classes) over 1.6 million kronor - about $1.5 million in todays monetary value. This wealth tax could also be collected from a corporation when its liquid holdings exceeded double than that that of its debt.

Add to that, a intense political debate about introducing the so called Employee Funds - a mechanism in where a large part of the collected corporate tax would be dedicated to buying shares in the taxed corporation, shares that would then be distributed among the employees with a goal of collective ownership.

Perhaps indicative of the business climate in 1970s Sweden, Astrid Lindgren, the author of Pippi Longstocking, famously wrote a short satirical story about her over 100% margin tax rate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomperipossa_in_Monismania.
What's your problem with the airs screen?

I work on a macbook pro, mostly because 'modern' 'everything-must-docker' software development seems to require 16GB ram and an i7 to run anything. But for everything else, whether video or web, I come back to an early 2015 air. I definitely sympathise with the OP.
