It does mean something - there's asymmetry between rich and poor people's ability to buy good and bad items. The rich can buy either but the poor can only buy cheap. So even if only a few things had this boots effect, and everything else worked backward (cheaper item has better value per dollar) that would still skew the fairness in favor of the rich.

That assumes rich people actually participate. They could also just buy cheap things over and over because they can. I like to do that so I'm not too emotionally and financially attached to possessions, which becomes a liability and a worry.
In the same way that AWS wasn't originally certified for government work, and then developed GovCloud: they realized there was a lot of money in it.

If supporting GDPRs is a requirement for having European B2B customers, SaaS providers are going to start certifying against and architecting around that.
Stepping back and looking at a broader trend: As government is cut back, we shift power into the hands of the wealthy, individuals and corporations. There's sort of a law of preservation of political power: Cutting government doesn't reduce the amount of power out there, it just gets democratic government out of the way so that other powerful people can seize the power.

That doesn't mean we should always expand government; government has other drawbacks. But there are trade-offs that should be considered: some things should be controlled democratically, rather than by the powerful. The purpose of democracy is to distribute that power equally to everyone.
I'm still baffled by SO, I've been on there for like 10 years now and still can't seem to upvote anything and have no clue why. It's also remarkable how often you'll find "answers" on there that are flat out wrong or horribly out of date, at least once you get past the "how do I manipulate a date" level in a given area.

If you can't upvote you can't seem to downvote or fix the answer, and if you try to comment on an answer it seems to get autodeleted most of the time.
No, you practiced safely operating your motorcycle. More should be as responsible.

I've always been willing to support cyclists but cannot ignore the staggering number of them that completely disregard traffic laws on a near constant basis. And then come online and winge about the risks TO THEM while ignoring the risks THEY impose on others. In the name of what, being able to maintain their momentum? Sure, I'd love to do the same, yet abiding by traffic laws is a bit more valuable that my selfish desires.

Downvote all you like but understand you're downvoting someone that does cycle and has a lot of respect for the challenges presented doing so in an urban environment. You're downvoting someone that favors the activity but has taken the time to point out you're being pompous assholes QUITE a lot of the time when you're out and about on two wheels.

Anti-corporate ones like anti-vax, or the idea that Big Pharma is keeping us sick for profit. Similar sentiments exist for Big Agri/Food, particularly with GMOs.

Back in the W Bush days there were suggestions being thrown around that homeland security types were using 9/11 as an excuse to push their pre-prepared systems of control on people, that Diebold voting machines were rigged to support Republicans.
How - the special counsel Mueller has subpoena authority.
First link from indictments in list form. The one I saw on TV was that guy with Hillary in a cage in parades - he was paid by Russians to make it. I also remember reading about the pro and anti gun rallies at that Texas state park - the Russians made the Facebook page for both sides in that little incident.
https://mashable.com/2018/02/16/indictment-russian-trolls-in...

Presumably Mueller used that subpoena on Facebook and internet providers and the Russians didn't try to hide very hard and used mostly Russian ip addresses.

There's also the fact Facebook admitted it sold ads and post promotion to Russian agencies and told Congress the reach of those ads and posts. Recently Facebook revealed to all users in North America whether or not they had interacted with those ads/posts. Several news organizations have independently found the data from other sources including actual interviews with the people working in Russia.

One technique the Russians used was to impersonate Americans of some extreme view to stow discord and inflame the other side of some debate.

There was also several different Facebook campaigns where they got Africans with pidgin English to pretend to be Americans and try to inflame white nationalists and latent racists fears.

Dietitians are routinely included on the medical team for my condition and their advice is "high fat, high salt, high calorie diet." They literally prescribe junk food. I have found that this is not in my best interest. I found that it is surprisingly effective to pay attention to nutrition and food quality.

And when I began getting better, my doctor was in no way curious. He just scheduled me fewer appointments because I wasn't sick enough to need his time.
Not only that, but imagine how many services you and your family and friends use that could be compromised? It could end up costing you unless you and your family pull out of all your online services.

The ultimate irony would be if your bank(s) got compromised by your but and some of your money was lost.
> people in China treasures peace a little bit more than freedom

That's the narrative of the Chinese authoritarian dictatorship, a convenient one for them, but I've never seen data to back it up, there's plenty of evidence to contradict it, and it's based on a false premise.

The false premise is that freedom is a threat to peace. In fact, it's only a threat to peace of mind of dictators. The most peaceful places in the world are the most free, and as freedom has spread around the world, the levels of violence worldwide has dropped to historic lows. Again, the "peace" they speak of their own peace, not for people the government doesn't like; the people of Tibet, Xinjiang, and elsewhere suffer a lot of violence, perpetrated by the government. The poor have no freedom and are therefore driven from their homes; where is their peace? If people are so happy with the peace the Communist dictatorship provides, why not hold an election - the Communists are sure to win!

Freedom begets peace in part because people with rights live under less threat (their rights protect them; they can protect their property in court; etc.), and people with freedom of speech and voting rights can express their needs verbally and at the ballot box. Cut off those avenues and their needs don't just go away; they turn to guns, insurgencies, civil wars, riots, etc.

That people in China - unlike most other places in the world - would not desire freedom is also plainly false. In the only parts of China where people have the option of freedom, Taiwan and Hong Kong, they value their freedom very much. They also have a much higher standard of living than the non-free parts of China, and freedom from want is also important.
Agree, disk write usage wouldn't show capacity utilization. One needs to look at the file system utilization and make necessary changes (such as resize) to eliminate wasted space. Our experience is that most customers are way over provisioned from a capacity (and even performance point of view). Various opportunities such as right-sizing (manually doing it is a pain), right-typing (selecting gp2, st1 or sc1) io1 IOPS adjustments are available to significantly the reduce storage cost. Automating those tasks is key so that the solution can scale without user action.
> You have destroyed only an abstract quality, it's squareness, not the thing.

Here we are in agreement.

> But we're talking about an object in computer memory that's an instance of a square or a rectangle, or about some physical thing that is one or the other shape.

Everything in a computer program is an abstraction, and of course you can arrange these abstractions however you like. You could create an instance of a Square that inherits from Paper and has dimensions of "A8". I'm merely arguing that when building an object whose shape may change, using a PastryDough class is probably preferable to using one called Square.
Wow, that's an uncanny parallel to complexity in software development.
This assumes you know all the personal data they have about you beforehand. Also, you seem to be implying that there is no benefit to knowing how risky companies are being with the data they do have.

If your data is stores in certain jurisdictions that have difference laws than you expected, that could increase the risk your data bight be accessed in ways you assumed illegal (different countries have different rules).

For a very simple example, LiveJournal is now owned and operated entirely out of Russia. It didn't start that way. a GDPR request would presumably let you know that your data was in servers in Russia, or that the company in question did not feel the need to answer your request, in which case at lest you would know that your local laws did not apply towards it. In my eyes, both are very useful information that provides additional information about the risk of that data being accessed in a way you thought it would not beyond what you might assume of an EU company that you gave personal information.
the downside of i3 is you'll lose your data when instance is stopped, then you have to have another place to keep this data permanently.
Define sketchy. Is an israeli company who will be then reselling the exploit to all sort of law enforcement agencies from democratic countries and less democratic countries sketchy? It's certainly safe from a legal point of view.
>If a correlation is completely explained by controlling for a third factor, that doesn't make the original correlation a lie.

The implication of "black people commit more crimes" is that there is something about being black that involves a degree of criminality. It is a very poor way of describing the issue. A much better framing is "black people in the US are disempowered socially, politically and economically and black communities are ignored by US social policy." Another, far more useful framing of the issue, that I hardly ever hear is that black people are more often the victims of crimes.
That's pretty much the same way I learned it all too except for the mobile app. The number and quality of resources available to teach yourself get better and better. And amazingly, you can do it for free. Never stop learning.
Also worth noting that modern building materials, cinder block and drywall, are made from desulpherized flue gass, aka the ash from coal burning power plants. They're probably safe, but still disconcerting.

> Unless you believe that Intel or Microsoft would lie about already knowing about a vulnerability

Imagine they know of a vulnerability but believe that it's not practical to exploit, or something. Then someone comes along and demonstrates that it actually is practical to exploit. They could say, well, we knew about this already and didn't believe it's practical, so we're not paying you for it.

It can sometimes be hard to convince a vendor that a vulnerability is "their fault" and this policy only increases the difficulty.
That sounds extremely expensive

Corporations pay +20% tax on profits, then provide jobs to people which are then taxed 30-50%. Corporations are providing loads of value to society. How on earth is this not enough?

Honestly, if this is not enough money for the government to operate there are serious spending and accountability problems. A governments primary purpose is to protect rights of individuals. Its job is not to run the world. If we really want to help the middle class lets just let them keep more of the money they earn.

I also have problems with falling into what I call “pleasure traps”... I like to envision my agency as movement along a landscape of discomfort, and I have a tendency to get sucked into steep local minima and have trouble getting out. I find it to be a very rich and evocative concept, and I’m curious if anyone else looks at human agency this way.

Yeah I've been around enough self driving cars to know that they behave a little weirdly sometimes, in a way you'd never expect a human to. We can keep throwing humans under the bus on some technicality every time this happens because we're engineers and beep boop everything is black and white. period. But in reality there's a social aspect to driving with a lot of unwritten rules that people do not seem to be worrying about as much as they should.
Size automatically required large amounts of social complexity in the days of Rome, especially if you measure complexity in the actual cost it took to hold Rome together.

I'll remind you that the contemporaneous Chinese Han dynasty also evolved into a large militarized, centralized bureaucratic state despite the wide differences in geography and developmental path, and faced very similar problems of replacing conscripts with professional soldiers and then keeping them loyal. What forced them to have similar organization was their sheer size and the organizational pressures this caused.

> Back in the W Bush days there were suggestions being thrown around that homeland security types were using 9/11 as an excuse to push their pre-prepared systems of control on people,

That's not a conspiracy theory, but a verifiable fact: the systems of control overtly implemented after 9/11 justified by terrorism had largely been proposed (overtly), by many of the same people pushing them after 9/11, with other justifications (often, in the most recent prior attempt, the War on Drugs was the justification.)

There is a related conspiracy theory, though, that 9/11 was engineered (either a false-flag op or simply knowingly allowed to proceed) for the purpose of being used in that way.
Yes, this also gives great insight on who's selling data.

James C. Scott (in "Against the Grain: a deep history of the earliest states [2017]) has a bit of perspective on "collapse":

"Why deplore “collapse,” when the situation it depicts is most often the disaggregation of a complex, fragile, and typically oppressive state into smaller, decentralized fragments? One simple and not entirely superficial reason why collapse is deplored is that it deprives all those scholars and professionals whose mission it has been to document ancient civilizations of the raw materials they require. There are fewer important digs for archaeologists, fewer records and texts for historians, and fewer trinkets—large and small—to fill museum exhibits... Yet there is a strong case to be made that such “vacant” periods represented a bolt for freedom by many state subjects and an improvement in human welfare.

What I wish to challenge here is a rarely examined prejudice that sees population aggregation at the apex of state centers as triumphs of civilization on the one hand, and decentralization into smaller political units on the other, as a breakdown or failure of political order. We should, I believe, aim to “normalize” collapse and see it rather as often inaugurating a periodic and possibly even salutary reformulation of political order."

The JVM is fast enough for Minecraft, it should be plenty fast for this. But if you ever do want to compile to native then Kotlin/Native would make a lot more sense than a rewrite in a completely different language.
Yeah today in "not actually a real problem in the physical world" we deal with the plague of really left wing people and their anti-nuclear rhetoric that is plaguing hackerspaces across the globe. Can't we just fission in peace? These monsters are insatiable.

If

- your network structure is fixed, and

- you always evaluate the matrix in a given order, and

- you are careful/smart about how you train the weights (Ok, I haven't thought through the ramifications here...)

then I'm not sure you care much about either commutativity or associativity. Maybe a lack of associativity makes backprop impossible, and maybe commutativity makes "Google deep dream" impossible (no idea), but I don't quite agree with the "composability" objection to a lack of associativity and I don't understand the objection to a lack of commutativity sorry.

> Startups in the US won't have this hassle

If I have a choice between an US startup that has no pressure to handle my data responsibly, and an EU startup that has a legal requirement to do so, I would choose the EU startup. The US startup may claim it takes care of my data and ask me to trust their word, but I know that the EU startup is forced to by law.

Perhaps it could end up as a competitive advantage for EU businesses.

It's amazing how big companies like Google can be so oblivious to how biased their algorithms are. See: YouTube "hate speech" detection, Facebook and fake news.

Algorithms more often then not inherit the same biases their programmers have. Having those biases determined mathematically makes no difference.
Not sure what you mean "manufacturers, not actual capacity constraints". The beauty of price signals is that they distill all the market information down to a simple metric. It incorporates increased demand, decreased supply, availability of substitute products, predictions about the future and more.

A spike in prices is the best way to ensure that the supply is increased ASAP. The spike is a strong indication that the market wants more and it makes it more likely that suppliers will make decisions to satisfy that demand.

Higher prices allow companies to justify overtime, urgent delivery of supplies, rapid decision making on contracts (i.e. not shopping around) and so on.

I'm not saying the original poster the "Chinese expat" make up a story. But he gives misleading information. Claim it's fake maybe not accurate.

1.The national ID is revoked only under some special case that the citizen is believed to be leave the country and give up the citizenship.Not for short term stay like visit/travel. For those whose Chinese national ID being revoked, they are not the equivalent of expat in Western country although technically you can insist it's expat. Again as you said the policies in China varied from place to place and even from time to time. Many emigrant such as aged family reunion emigrant can even keep their national IDs

2.China becomes a business orientated society. There's no reason to exclude passport owners to buying a train ticket online if there's a way to do it. The difficulty here is the cost of passport reader which is monopolized by only few US and European manufactures that only border control agencies can afford, while resident ID readers can be purchased from multiple domestic providers competing for quality and price. It's pure technical and economical reason, not because a regime want to do sth against its own people.
