Do you see that this is exactly why North Korea would want to have nuclear weapons? Because you would be willing to use force against them to bend them to your will? How would they be sure that you would not consider the same for other issues than the nuclear weapons themselves?

North Korea wants nukes to be able to continue to act like North Korea, if North Korea acted like NZ no one would give 2 fucks and I find it appalling that you apply relativism to this issue.
North Korea is an objective blight of a country that forces it's own people to undergo unimaginable suffering and giving them any more power isn't something we should be even considering.
Not every story has 2 sides.

The value is not in what any random country has to say about this specific case, the value is in the fact that it provides a legitimization for the actions taken. If you simply blow up a North Korean reactor because you think it is the right thing to do, then that also gives North Korea wide latitude to do things they think are the right thing to do.

If on the other hand most of the world agrees that North Korea should not have nuclear weapons, then we could justify taking actions against North Korea while not at the same time being forced to accept North Korean actions as equally legitimate because they lack this consensus by the world.

There is no value in a meaningless consensus.
There is a reason why we have the UN security council and that is because the UNGA and UN bodies that are based on geographic groups are essentially a meet up for tyrants.

UN votes are constantly bought and it's not only 3rd world countries that are up for grabs, China has recently bought a Greek vote with it's investments.

There isn't anything "inherently" wrong with that as that is how things work on the world stage but somethings should not be played with.

But lets say you can't buy their vote would it their vote even matter? A county like say Gambia has no capabilities to weight in on a situation like this, they can't verify the situation independently, they don't even have the resources to perform a proper cost benefit analysis from a military, political and economic point of view.

You don't consult you entire social circle about a medical treatment you consult with medical professionals and maybe a few close individuals with high stakes in both the outcome and the process.

There is a big difference between a unilateral strike and consulting with regional and world powers, however consulting the 190 odd UN members isn't going to achieve any results.
I think we both agree then, I just mis-interpreted the emphasis of your point.
Agreed, but there's an exception in my personal experience. If you start commuting by riding a bicycle, you can easily get 5-10 hours a week at around 70% max heart rate (average).

Of course it's difficult to motivate yourself to start and to keep at it. If the distance is long, you probably can't completely change to riding in one go due to excess fatigue, and if it's short it won't be effective. And of course it will take months to lose any significant amount of weight, just like any other way.

When I started this on a 22km commute I didn't want to lose weight, but I literally ate as much as I could and still lost some.

Disclosure: I work on IBM cloud

IBM has been running kubernetes on baremetals internally for over a year and just recently announced it as a product: https://www.ibm.com/blogs/cloud-computing/2018/03/managed-ku....

I will admit that it isn't as straightforward to get it to work as you might imagine at first. But once you've got the automation humming, its been a surprisingly easy to maintain. Would highly recommend that route! (but of course I'm biased since I've worked on it)

One interesting use case is that its straightforward to access the underlying hardware on baremetal machines with `SecurityContext: priviliged` (you can do a much more fine-grained security permissions; I'm just giving an example). So for instance, you can access GPU's, TPM (trusted platform modules) this way.

Oracle's counsel was publicly admonished by Alsup for even trying to push that argument.

Alsup: "I have done, and still do, a significant amount of programming in other languages. I've written blocks of code like rangeCheck a hundred times before. I could do it, you could do it. The idea that someone would copy that when they could do it themselves just as fast, it was an accident. There's no way you could say that was speeding them along to the marketplace. You're one of the best lawyers in America, how could you even make that kind of argument?"

David Boies (counsel for Oracle): "I want to come back to rangeCheck."

Alsup: "rangeCheck! All it does is make sure the numbers you're inputting are within a range, and gives them some sort of exceptional treatment. That witness, when he said a high school student could do it—"

This really is what media should actually focus on.

I know “how the technology works”, and I don’t care. If anything, I think I might benefit in the future from availability of all that behavioral data they gathered on me, because one day a sufficiently advanced AI might analyze it and provide some insight into my personality.

I don't know about over-market, but it certainly feels high in real terms. Divide the total pension liability by the number of households in the state, and you get something approaching $150,000 per household, or about 2.5x the state's median household income. That's a pretty big burden of debt to have sitting on the shoulders of every resident of the state.

We've also got some pretty egregious cases to consider, which suggest that there aren't any guard rails around the pension system. The highest-paid pensioner in the state was able to retire at 55, and receives more than half a million annually. Plus the state's better-than-inflation 3% COLA.
The thing that's false is the implication that careers will certainly / deterministically take off. Especially in academia there are more people who both want a certain role and are qualified for it than roles. If you happen to stumble into the right path - maybe some particular research interest of yours in graduate school happens to line up with someone who just retired at a good university, and so there's an opening; maybe you pick an experiment that happened to succeed instead of fail and so you got more publications because people hate negative results - your career will take off without the need for social media to provide you with opportunities and networking. On the other hand, maybe someone from your informal network will be the step you need to get out of a fruitless program and into something where your career will take off.

If this person is conditioning their anecdata on "successful professionals," it's totally unsurprising that they'll find that successful professionals are successful. That doesn't help those of us who aren't lucky and need to figure out how to push ourselves over the threshold until our career catches.

(Note that I'm not saying that this person's success was simply the result of luck; they also had to be qualified and work hard. But out of the qualified people who work hard, not all of them can succeed.)

You mention you judge a candidates social media prior to offering the job. Does that mean you have at least done an in person interview with them? I ask because it’s really hard to determine a person by their social media. Maybe unless for an older generation where their real life aligns with their social media presence. But for many younger generations, they couldn’t be more different.

Why is foreign influence bad but domestic influence OK? American foreign policy has huge effects on the rest of the world. Shouldn't they have a say? How about undocumented immigrants living in the country?
These could happen, except politicians excluded taxpayer funded pensions from any type of oversight, starting with its exclusion from ERISA. Even now, taxpayer funded pensions don't have to follow rigorous accounting standards such as IFRS, and instead choose to use GASB, which are intentionally lenient so it hides the underfunding.

It's telling that once non-taxpayer funded pensions were brought to fully account for their promises, they started disappearing. It's just too costly and too unpredictable to promise something 30+ years into the future. It's ridiculous as a concept, I've never heard of anyone else saying with confidence that they can predict that far into the future, yet we have billions and trillions of dollars of liabilities based on these projections.
While it may have been characterized as more secure than personal investment, agreeing to this compensation scheme doesn't remove the burden of risk

Owing a defined-benefit pension is a legal obligation to provide a future revenue stream. It's more like a bond than a stock, and debt generally has priority over equity.
This now common argument doesn’t hold water. What if regulation restricted one social network per holding corporation? If Facebook was to lose Instagram and WhatsApp it would be a huge blow to the company, while also promoting a competitive business environment where major social networks can’t simply buy the competition out of existence.
It’s fraud. Promise the benefit, but pay for it.

I didn't say the vendetta was unwarranted. It just reads more like he's getting back at one particular guy than that he's trying to build a business model in the education market.
But that's true of both founders whose companies will succeed and founders whose companies will fail - they both need to focus on the one thing they're doing in the hope of not making it fail.

The interesting question is whether they were spending time on social media before getting funded, and whether that correlates with later success, perhaps due to having better ideas or better offline networking opportunities or whatever.

Part of the problem might also be that Mark Zuckerberg didn't realize until rather recently what power and influence FB has. His initial statement after the US election was sort of "no way, we could have had any influence on this". Now as investigations and leaks show, it is much to the contrary.

Maybe FB has become just too big and powerful? Similar things could be said about other large companies of course, but FB is the focus at the moment.
>There is a very simple solution [...]

I think you're vastly overestimating the simplicity.

Your 2 proposed solutions and its problems:

>The state simply pays an insurance company for an equivalent annuity.

This requires a willing insurance company that wants to be on the hook for it. The problem is no rational insurance company with competent actuarial skills would calculate that the Illinois premiums payments would be enough to meet 100% future pension obligations. Or, you'd get the alternative scenario where you have a dishonest insurance company just taking the premium payments with no intentions of paying all the pensions and conveniently declaring bankruptcy. Therefore, you'd have the same "unfunded" liability as you have right now.

>Or the state pays the union the normal cost (the cost of whatever defined benefit pension is earned in a year of work), and then it's the union's problem

Again, the union would have to agree to this. The union isn't a puppet of the state such that they would automatically agree to anything the state proposes. The union is an adversary against the state when it comes to negotiating pay and benefits. The union does not want to be on the hook for the increasing future benefits; it wants to the state to have that financial responsibility.

Your "simple" solution requires self-interested actors to do what they don't want to do.
That's a massive fraud. It's like I'd promise to hire somebody and pay him top salary, but the salary would be paid by the guy next door. And that guy is then stuck with a huge bill. He'd just refuse to pay, he didn't hire anybody and is not obliged to pay anything. But somehow sticking the bill to the guy next 25 years instead is completely normal.
It's been mentioned elsewhere in this thread, but Exodus is really great for this use case. You can just run

I wish people would learn how to abbreviate the units correctly. Hertz is abbreviated as "Hz". The kilo prefix is "k". Thus kilohertz is "kHz" and not Khz.
Disney's whole strategy was taking public domain works like those and making cartoon versions.

> Defined-benefit pensions are a form of deferred compensation.

Defined benefit plans are at best a deferred time bomb and at worst a deferred time bomb with a short fuse.

> State employees in the past accepted lower salaries in exchange for this future benefit.

So? If they were that concerned about the future benefits they should have received a defined contribution plan that pours the money into an employee controlled sinking fund. Nothing stops the State from declaring bankruptcy and reneging on its end of this deal.

It may sound callous but if the alternative is raising taxes to the point that nobody is left in Illinois, is that really an alternative? Sometimes you have to amputate an arm to save the patient.

> Taking away that pension now would be theft from these people.

Agreeing to these outrageous pensions with no way to pay for them is theft from all current and future tax payers. This is a scamola run by politicians to buy votes from public sector unions and it needs to end.
We just have to be careful thinking everyone is ignorant except us. Stating how some UI patterns are interpreted by some people doesn't mean anything. That some people are ignorant doesn't mean they all are. I'd like to think I'm not, and I don't see many of these "problems" as worthy of new legislation.

Except when all other measures have been exhausted, we shouldn't be so quick to run to the legal system clutching our ban hammer with our perceived state of righteousness.

Another problem I often see (not here, just saying in general) is how false equivalence is constantly brought up. Oh, so we should just let companies poison food or build insecure cars or whatever. I hope that with user data we can be more reasonable in how we legislate it and at least try to realize the unforeseen costs on the "good guys" vs the "bad guys".
I think this is a result of not having suitable substitutes TBH (from my personal experience).
> If I wouldn't do something in public, I wouldn't post it to social media.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately in calling and sending emails to my government representatives, attending marches and protests. By definition, these are done in public; there's no point otherwise! But there's nothing preventing my employer from deciding they don't like what I'm putting out there and doing .. something about it.

I don't see anything to be done about this, certainly not in the short term, but it's a very different sort of thing than supposing there's something on social media I would be "embarrassed" about my employer seeing.
Thank you for all that information, this thread didn't get much attention but I do appreciate your responses, they do help. :)

Even if they offered a delete button any time before GDPR comes into effect I would not trust and use it. I also don't like the idea of using one of those chrome extensions mentioned here. To me, currently this is synonymous to hiding everything they have on me from myself.

But doing this after May 25 would mean I definitely want it gone for good and if they don't fully delete what I manually remove, I expect them to get themselves into trouble.
I don't think you're alone in this. A lot of my coursework is presented as a series of exercises in memorizing solutions to special cases and applying those solutions in a treadmill of quizzes, assignments, and exams. I find myself craving better, more powerful abstractions that subsume the special cases; complex numbers are a great source of satisfaction to me for this reason.
I only use Twitter, and I only follow interesting or noteworthy people in my specific industry. I've been exposed to interesting techniques and papers, made valuable connections, and found paid jobs. However, I have also felt distracted and distressed by the significant amount of [men vs women, black vs white, gay vs straight, cis vs trans] bickering and put-downs coming from even these people, because apparently that's what you do on Twitter. It's a trade-off, but I cannot call this healthy.
Thanks, glad you are finding it helpful!

They absolutely did not "reveal new security settings" – they revamped the security settings menu & page. From the article:

> Facebook announced on Wednesday that it’s redesigning the settings menu on mobile devices, consolidating privacy options in one place, rather than sending users to some 20 different screens

There is no indication in the article that they are allowing users more control over their data, and fb remain free to do what they will with your data once you sign up for their service.

This does nothing to resolve the problem that people are up in arms about:

> Under the revamp, users still won’t be able to delete data that they had given third-party apps on the platform previously, even if it was used for reasons other than what was agreed to. That data, generated over years of games and personality quizzes that had access to private information, is largely still stored outside of Facebook’s grasp by the private individuals and companies that built those applications.

I would avoid NJ/CT/IL for sure. Also seems like more work and highly qualified people are concentrating in urban/metro areas. I would look for somewhere that's up and coming, has decent weather, and secure water supplies. West coast cities, Denver, Austin, Dallas, DC, Boston, NYC seem to be the big ones, although I'm sure there are other urban areas exhibiting growth.
As far as I know he's right. The news was given first to Amazon and Microsoft sometime in August. Consider one month for testing and preparing for release, that gives three months to build a solution for all supported operating systems. Two months to do it for the most recent version and one month for backporting to the older ones sounds about right. Maybe a few weeks more, but that's it.
False and especially misleading information is sent through broadcast TV all the time, both through advertisements and aired content. Political content is egregiously bad in this regard. There's no accountability for hit piece TV advertisements routinely aired by and against local politicians; where facts, if they are even present, are twisted and stripped of context and surrounded by scary voice overs and graphics. To say nothing of TV "news" shows liberally salted with opinion, or just general product ads.

It's propaganda all the way down.
Yeah, they did not need to show the footage of her blatantly distracted away from the road. That was my biggest takeaway. I'm not sure who decided what footage got shown publicly but I immediately found that interesting to say the least.

Many smaller tech companies aren't even chasing the European market yet. My guess is that this will make it an even less attractive market.

That being said, the jury is still out on whether the EU can successfully collect fines from exclusively US based companies.

Large corporations like Google or Facebook have a presence in the EU and can be fined directly. Good luck in the courts enforcing gdpr to US only companies who have no servers or physical presence there. I imagine it will be a difficult process and not worth the effort in most cases.
