But China is not a communist country.
Actually, most of the country who claim to be communist are just autocracy.

The only state that have been communist or anarcho-communist /anarchist for at least a while, was Ukraine (during the Makhnovchtchina), Catalonia (during the Spanish revolution of 1936) and, if I remember, Mexico during one of the revolution.

I might be missing some example, but China, USSR, Cuba and North Korea were always just communist in names. The reality was that they were/are all different form of dictatorship / autocracy.
> it is highly likely that we'd see a much different picture

Highly unlikely since the Middle East is composed of hundred of tribes and other populations like the Kurds who want nothing to do with each others and will enter conflict whenever appropriate.
You're arguing that the vast majority of the 1% are not selfish actors? I would need serious convincing to take your point.

Btw, I don't see being "selfish" as a bad thing or value judgement. It's kind of what we do as humans.
Count me among those who consider that to be a stepping stone on the way to liberal democracy.

Authoritarianism is easy to support when the economy is booming and living standards are increasing. When this falters, which it inevitably will, then discontent will spread from a relatively small group of political discontents to the population at large, who will start to demand change. And that demand can be the pressure that tips the balance in favour of democratic rule.
Yet in Russian elections you have OECD observers and cameras who live streams from the voting booths.

Do you have something similar in America?

No. The post is using standard euphemisms for Jews that are commonly used in anti-semitic literature.

The entire point of the MBA is the networking opportunities and joining the alumni club. The content can be got for a fraction of the cost, or even free. The success of the top MBAs is therefore self-perpetuating. And there is literally no point in doing one outside of the top maybe 20 schools, because there is no one there or in the alumni network who can give you a foothold.

This is literally nothing compared to what Pol Pot did. Pol pot killed millions on Cambodians (look https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_Rouge#Crimes_against_hum...) just on ridiculous basis like "having a minimum education", and being of another ethnicity. The country is now in ruin after decades of his regime. A poor example to argue about.

Yeah, these subvolumes are going to have scalability issues compared with cleanly designed subvolumes such as in ZFS. But I wouldn't describe them as a hack - it's a rather interesting feature that not other filesystem has explored before. I would describe it as "loop devices done well". I don't think reliability will be a problem, for the upper layer these embedded filesystems are in fact just files.
I've seen quite a lot of this too, though from other vantage points.

I don't disagree with anything you say, and would probably go down a similar route. These projects have enormous and unacknowledged risk. One of those risks (the most common pone) is that the project does actually arrive at completion, is good enough to go into use, but it's still pretty crap. Not better than what could have been achieved at a fraction of the cost. You should (as CEO, CIO) take this as a given, and act accordingly. IE, minimize these projects and find alternatives.

So, this isn't a criticism...

Here's the problem as I see it: Custom, "enterprise^" software is important, very. A lot of things could work a lot better if we had better enterprise software, much better. Especially for government, the ability to produce good software that works is tremendous. Transport systems could be better, welfare systems could be better, democratic systems could be much higher information, education.... Google maps really raised the minimum standard for public transport "timetables," especially buses. This changes public transport, enabling multi-stop routes (you would never find them otherwise), casual use, tourist use...

So... How do we do this better? Personally, I think the recurring failure details are probably a red herring. You imply problems like not having a designer, just a dump of requirements from anyone who has the juice to make them. Problems like cargo-cult design around existing processes, rather than adapting to new tools. IMO these are symptoms of bad meta-systems, the "economy" around making decisions, buying services, designing solutions, etc. Also, naturally, the incentives.

Will this be a problem forever?

This approach only works if someone higher up in the education food chain hasn’t already correct for any earlier poor schooling by using some form of “affirmative action” in grading.

The best way of overcoming handicaps based on poor schooling or other social/environmental handicaps is to fix the schooling (hard and long term) or just use g. Of course if you use g you run straight into Spearman’s Hypothesis [0].

> one good argument for capitalism: sooner or later it brought a demand for democracy...

Nope, capitalism is an economic system, not to be confounded with other types of Freedom. Capitalism is the ability of freely trade private property, among other things. In the West we tend to think it goes hand in hand with Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Press and other liberties, but it does not have to. However, if Individual Freedom is the goal of your political system, then you will have Capitalism as well (the US is a good case since the constitution is clearly about the ultimate protection of individual liberties, even before the State).
What about a multicultural, pluralistic, democratic, socialist society like India or South Africa which is slow and lumbering, but in the right direction? (A recent talk of land appropriation in S.A. makes me apprehensive about it.)

These countries still have a version of capitalism that is not as aggressive as the Anglo-Saxon model, and a democracy that is far more permissive than the East Asian (barring Japan) model.

Indian or South African growth may not be glamorous, but it might be sustainable. (And the population growth in both places is far less alarming than generally thought.)
I'm not familiar with Firefox Multi-account containers; do they use separate Unix accounts? (since my approach means Firefox is running as a completely diffrent user, a simple firefox compromise or bug shouldn't be able to access anything sensitive on the main account - like SSH keys, say).
I think a common flaw in these kinds of bold statements is the use of the phrase “The West”. There exists a multitude of different nations, each with different political structures and vastly different social opinions but, most importantly, different national objectives vested in China.

The idea that business from the USA, UK, and, other nations in the West all “wanted democracy” is blatantly not true. They wanted profit and success via the penetration of a huge potential market. Democracy? No, fair treatment.

The idea that the general public wanted a democracy in China is silly also. Most people are exposed to a very warped viewpoint of China, and I would argue, all people want is that their nation remains great, their jobs remain stable and their economic future is secure. Most average people I speak to (UK) still ask if if people eat dog meat and proclaim China is communist.

The strongest case for “wanting democracy” is most likely in the political sphere for western nations. The strength of cooperative democratic governments is weakened when an outside nation is playing by its own rules, gaining advantages that members could be envious of.

Having lived in China and having Chinese as my second language, I find recent events deeply troubling. The recent US-Taiwan travel agreement and new campaign for a referendum vote for independence on the 6th April is just adding to the anxiety. It’s an uncertain time, but I certainly agree that clear and hard rulings need to be made to ensure fairness between trading nations.

Yes, but only some things. My brother and best man are doctors, and we have a home doctor service and a GP. The first two provide ample support for most instances.
The great mistake was in thinking "liberal western-style democracies" were the natural end-state of human societies, and that all states are historically determined to reach this point sooner or later. That the West was both Exceptional and Normal at the same time. This was pride.

Then there were those who didn't care about the human rights issue and just wanted to make money, who thought they could use China as a massive cheap factory forever. Never thinking (or caring) that China could one day surpass us and turn the tables. This was greed.
Where are the differences in exec. speed of various methods come from (.NET)?
You could argue the Chinese system hasn't been properly tested in modern times. In other words, there's been no recession, no meaningful economic downturn which really forces leaders to make very hard decisions and causes the population to become restive.

The West on the otherhand had that in 2008, it survived although the repurcussions are still being felt (Trump).

Can the Chinese avoid a serious recession forever? You would have to assume not, that will ultimately be the test of how well their system holds up.
> That’s not a datatype

It's a named struct. That's pretty datatype-y.

I don't agree with the GP that this is an example of overengineering. If anything it's an example of current Rust being slightly underengineered. Presumably a lot of these temporary types can be killed off once `impl Trait` goes mainstream?
You mean the "highly overrepresented in tech jobs when compared to the general population" bucket?

I agree, the history is quite fascinating. We've got white men who come from a culture that for centuries had an explicit pro-white and more specifically pro-WASP bias.

Part of the bias was to prevent Asians from immigrating to the US. This only changed in the 1960s when the National Origins Formula was abolished. The new policy allowed for skilled people, and people with family ties to the US (including war brides) to come in.

As a result, many of the new Asian immigrants came in with an education and skills. Many of them also come from a tradition with an emphasis on education.

In this way it's similar to the quotas that many colleges used to have on admitting Jewish students, many of whom come from a culture that emphasizes education. The idea of a "well-rounded student" and the SAT were put into place to bias the selection process towards educated WASPs, who could afford the prep schools the included topics like Latin and sports.

Now, I have to say "many" because "Asian" is more a term of geography than of culture. There are many different cultures in Asia. The Hmong people, for example, have a very different history in the US than the Japanese people. Many of the Hmong were poor hill farmers or war refugees with very little education, and in the US they have a high dropout rate and low levels of college completion. A policy which promotes cultural diverse representation but which rejects a Hmong man as being "Asian" because there are too many Chinese applicants suffers from its own sorts of built-in American prejudice of what culture means.

I also find it fascinating how women and Native Americans are also placed in the same bucket, to use your term.
I share your opinion.

Also, I never understood what kind of problem companies are trying to solve with self driving cars to be honest. Traffic in cities will be the same, if not worse. And I consider driving as one of the things I really enjoy doing. Why take that away?

In the West we tend to think it goes hand in hand with Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Press and other liberties, but it does not have to.

Exactly -- and all this obscures how those things came to be: with fierce struggle from the lower classes (workers, women, blacks, etc.) in most cases, handed over to the patricians of the state in others (e.g. US Declaration of Independence and so on) and spread more widely later. Not from the system for running the economy.

Heck, Hayek, for one, a champion of capitalism, was in bed with Pinochet.

And one of the things western countries did when they entered capitalism, was to conquer and enslave 2/3rds of the world in their colonies. So much for democracy.
