Its never been about hoping they’ll change. It’s been about their size dwarfing the West’s. Maybe NAFTA was meant to create a trading alliance to rival them, but it clearly didn’t work well enough.

I think it is fair, but I think there are ways to give students who need it extra attention without singling them out. Children are smarter than we give them credit for, they know when they're being judged or singled out by adults and peers.

I agree with this, but your initial comment is creating gendered maladies that don't exist. How is an IP lawsuit a gendered issue?
And for all the people that complain 'but the prices will go up', yes they will in the short term. But don't underestimate how quickly it would be for the factories owned by multinationals to move out of China to even cheaper countries like Vietnam or India, or move back to US to cheap states via robot factories. Prices will go back down to equilibrium soon.

I have commented not on the CCC but on user:	46886532558's original claim that being "reeeally left wing" is somehow a plausible reason for being anti-surveillance. This association is misleading, and I feel a responsibility to correct this historical mistake.

This correction is especially apt since Germany is still full of Stasi victims.
I’m sure what Elon really wants is a level playing field. He’d rather simply have China remove its 25% tariff.

You seem to be focusing on one rallying point of the protectionist agenda (subsidized production), and not the underlying predatory trade practices.

See, there are unfair trade practices, even if you think your example isn’t - practices such as dumping, or outrageously high unilateral tariffs. These destabilize global economies, and are used specifically to damage foreign industry. These are not simply a matter of ‘strategic opportunity’, which is why they are generally forbidden by international trade groups.

Of course they don’t actually get to do much to enforce international law at the WTO, but that’s a different story.
An excellent point. See also The Case Against Education: https://jakeseliger.com/2018/03/12/the-case-against-educatio....

I'll also observe that many fields have an unpleasant introductory learning curve in which one must memorize lots of random-seeming and unpleasant things, before one can operate fluidly in that field and do anything interesting.

That's sort of the opposite of the original author's statement: "Learning is fun, but often as it happens, the fun parts start drying up as you delve deep," but it may be that there are un-fun parts on both sides of the curve, so to speak.
Apple is providing some end-to-end encrypted tools to people in China. If they pulled out completely, people would no longer have those.
You have to decide between two things:

1 - you want to learn to prove things. Then yes, Rudin is a shitty text to learn by yourself because he really likes a certain type of, for lack of a better phrase, "beautiful" proof that requires a bunch of insightful jumps to get to. He'll then show the proof and really not discuss about how he got there. What a student needs is the ability to string facts/theorems that he or she knows together and how to turn that into a proof. Without a good professor, Rudin is (imo) terrible for that.

2 - you want to learn analysis, and care less about proving things. Reasons for this may be you need a bit the underpinnings for various reasons, and you care less about proving things and more about understanding. I think Rudin is a pretty good text then.

Tech countered many political interests. With tech weakened, the interests they were defending have no defences.

So I fired up my VPN and TOR browser, went to the closest city's backpage site, and perused the "dating" as well as "massage" services section. There's clearly a lot of prostitution being offered. There's a feature where you can see all the pictures in a section at once. There's definitely young women there, some I would card if they were buying drinks, but none of them looked clearly like children, and none of the women were even dolled up to look under-age. It's hard to count the number of ads I looked at the pictures for because of the style of the view, but it was probably hundreds. I further searched for "amber alert" which returned zero results and "amber" which returned a single ad for a 40-something woman named Amber.

I believe you, that some of what you've described has happened, but it doesn't seem clear that this is a significant percentage of the ads. I question your depiction of Backpage's position on the issue. Did they refuse to take down a particular ad which obviously contained pictures of child rape? What really happened here?

Sure, let's just have Equifax store this data. They're good at protecting confidential information right? or maybe Facebook?

I think you have an unreasonably low threshold for what qualifies as "reasonable security".
and now we can clearly see that there was never going to be a middle class in China. Too much money stolen and given to communist party (and now the dictator).
The debate receded when the Trump administration took office

Comey was the key advocate in this during the Obama years. He spoke for years advocating backdoors... even after Trump took office. Here's an article from March 2017 when he advocated an international backdoor[0]. Here's one in May 2017 when he backed Feinsteins decrypt bill[1].

It receded because Comey was pushed out. And it took a while for Wray to come in and make it an issue again.

It's worth remembering that this is not some faceless government action. They're just people who are lobbying for the change. Remember to contact your representatives regularly to advocate your position on these issues.

The fascinating thing about Dostoevsky is that he seems to argue the points he doesn’t believe in better. I walked away from Demons and Brothers Karamazov thinking that the points for atheism were more firmly established than the religious worldview he himself espoused.

Yes, the nihilism points were argued to be a point of comparison against, but his aim was didactic in the political realm. He explores this further and more completely in Demons.
I wouldn't have nailed them for the criticism, but I know Microsoft tends to jump on the bandwagon and then get everyone to jump on theirs.

256 colors was a big deal back then and Amiga was reknowned for the visual quality of its games at the time.

That "new" social network already exists. It's called Snapchat. I think it's an open question whether social networks will even continue to exist in their current form. There was a time when people connected over Yahoo Chat and AIM...
Rising prices would be good if (and only if) they caused increased wages or employment. We need a lot of wage inflation to reprice the economy so that real estate, college, etc. are reasonable again. Either that or those things need to fall, but that's usually more painful.

Yes, they are. The phenomenon can be called ultrapopulism. When the cohort of people that can be made to vote even for a devil himself with the most banal promises of free vodka and sausages exceeds a critical mass needed to guarantee a party courting it a political majority, the hell breaks loose.

In such cases, why would one even bother to resort to a complex party-political movement and value system cultivation courting moderately smart people, when the electorate secured through such means will have no chance exceeding the electorate of a hyperpopulism practitioner.
I was thinking about the mere leakage of the data itself, but you make a good point. I pretty quickly figured out the nature of Facebook years ago and deleted mine. But all the people coming out of the woodwork now to hate on Facebook all of a sudden, you have to assume 1) they accepted all the things about Facebook that we all knew, including the use or misuse of data, and 2) what made them finally object was Facebook's sudden supposed intrusion into the (supposed) democratic process (though Kogan said profiling and ad targeting was worse than useless[0]), and specifically the fact that Trump won and now they're mad and looking for someone/something to blame.

They were both indicted on tax fraud. By laundering that 30 million, they were also evading taxes on it. The victim is the US government and by extension the US generally. The "reporting requirement" they evaded was... paying taxes.

You keep inferring that I think any particular subject should be permitted on YouTube, while I've deliberately avoided saying so. The only point I've made is that trotting out the old "private companies aren't the government and aren't required to uphold free speech" argument is silly because feeling an extralegal expectation of certain behaviors private companies should follow is entirely reasonable.
Do you believe a person's personal beliefs can align with a company's goals? Do you think a CEO or other employee should surrender their morals for the bottom line?

Statements like "Apple the company faces major competition from companies who will directly be hurt by this, while they won't be too much" and "I'm not sure if that matters too much for when he speaks as the Apple's CEO" imply that the first doesn't matter and that the second is expected. Is this how you measure your own morality and ethics and how you choose to do business? Is this what people should expect of you also?

I struggle with the cynical view these statements imply. Yeah, there are bad actors, and they should be held accountable. But I don't think that means that everyone is in all the things they do. Just as I hope that I can and try to do good in both my personal and professional lives, I hope that others do to.
Usenet was my very first exposure to internet communities. I read and posted on alt.games.nintendo.pokemon between ages 9 and 13, then moved to Something Awful after that.
If you want that view, then I guess nothing is ever free then, and it's a pointless word, so why even bother?

Also, the tax is more complicated than simply throwing out 60.45%. It goes:

- From 0 - 50,000 you pay 0% tax
- Everything above you first pay 8% work market tax, and then from the leftover you pay
- the amount you earned above 50,000 - 498,900 is 37%
- the amount you earn above 489,900 is taxed 52,2%

So you don't pay 60.45% of the full amount. Never. You pay progressively as you go up.

Monthly that'll go something like, deduct 5,000 form your paycheck, deduct 8% of the remaining amount, and then 38% of the remaining amount of that. Now, what you have left is the remaining amount + the 5,000 tax free. And of course a bit more of the amount if you go into the top tax bracket.

People shouldn't have trust in unrestrained state power regardless of how kind and gentle those in power have been or are likely to be. Maybe Trump's election made more people realize this, but hopefully most people who bother to think about such things realized it to begin with.

Facebook’s Experiments Abroad
I hesitate to trust umbrella measurements of the health of our economy when I know I cannot trust so much else of I read. Corporate advertising and public relations will reasonably generate an environment of cynicism.

Why do I trust this article’s claims? I don’t necessarily. But, it reflects what I observe and my understandings of how humans live with one another.

America is a society optimized for individualism, but humans are social beings. This is basic stuff, but it’s undermined through propaganda and shame.
Oddly? Why is it odd to not want to change from an input method that you already know like the back of your hand? If everyone who’ll be using this relies on the spreadsheet program for most of their work anyway, being able to keep a lot of the process in there makes sense. Learning a new tool is friction.
There is a reason why Apple is less exposed to such regulation now: they decided, a while back, not to make targeted ads and private data a core component of their business.

Part of what them allowed to make that call was obviously their strength in hardware. But I think there are some actions by Apple that go beyond the level required for a superficial PR campaign.

They popularized[0] differential privacy, allowing machine learning to learn from properly anonymised data. The concept is pretty complicated, making me doubt that a PR agency would consider it a good vehicle for improving the brand's image.

Their refusal to budge to the FBI and about half of the political establishment in the case of the San Bernadino shooter's iPhone was also rather gutsy: opposing law enforcement in their investigation of an actual islamic terrorist is at least a high-stakes gamble, if not outright stupid for marketing purposes. Even if you think the left will glorify you, you really really don't want to wade into culture wars territory and risk losing half your potential customers, at least not at Apple's scale.

There are quite a few other areas where Apple has been rather proactive in doing the right thing. They have always supported LGBTQ rights, possibly starting from their original rainbow coloured bitten apple being a reference to the injustice committed against Alan Turing[0]. They have invested in areas such as labor conditions, diversity, and environmental protection, often before the specific issues came under scrutiny from outside groups. Their recently announced initiative for fairly sourced coltan, for example, was the first I had ever heard of the element.

In my own experience as both a young software developer and now as a more experienced leader, the work of learning isn’t unpleasant at all. Is it hard to find the motivation to learn at times? Certainly! But afterwards I’m never regretful because I feel as if I’ve gained a new superpower. I spent the last 3 months or so ramping up with a company working with half a dozen technologies I had no experience with, and today I feel capable enough at each of them that I could run the product myself without too many hiccups (though albeit at a much slower pace). The skill of learning is by far the most valuable in this field.

There's also the case where the spreadsheet contains a whole bunch of endlessly duplicated and error-prone cell logic that nobody really understands, partly designed to work around limitations in the underlying cell-programming model.
The reason this story even exists is because this issue of "lawful access" is not due to any individual personalities. It's clearly a priority at an institutional level, including the White House:

>Against that backdrop, law enforcement officials have revived talks inside the executive branch over whether to ask Congress to enact legislation mandating the access mechanisms. The Trump White House circulated a memo last month among security and economic agencies outlining ways to think about solving the problem, officials said.

No, they aren't dying, if you're talking about parties in general. However, major splits inside the main parties will happen if those parties don't allow other new parties to rise up - which is exactly what the two political parties in the US have done, in more ways than one.

The only surprising thing about this is that people are surprised it's happening at all and that everyone isn't supper happy with their century old parties.
I was clearly referring to	46886532558's "reeeally left wing", i.e. extreme left.

It is historically accurate to identify the extreme left with the ComIntern, i.e. the Soviet communist party, ruled during his lifetime by Stalin. Almost all communist parties were in the mould designed by Lenin, and refined by Stalin.

Even today, socialist / communist parties operate using the Leninist style of organisation, e.g. in the UK the SWP or RS21.

It is useful to know this, just as it's useful to know that Cambridge Analytica was owned by a company whose board is full of UK military/security-service types [1].
