So ICE does more than just separate children from parents, and we can't expect Microsoft (or other companies) to give up lucrative contracts because they disagree with what the customer is doing.

However, is there anything in Azure terms of use which could restrict ICE from using their services for the purposes of xyz which might be used to hinder ICE in using Azure services for things which could be deemed civilly unjust?

Slippery slope, but what are the thoughts here?

While most readers of the FT wouldn't drop six figures on a watch, the people who would spend that are more likely to be FT readers than most, so it's the right place to reach them.

As for Instagram influencers: who are the people staying in these hotels? Sure, a lot of them are likely to be the sort who read the FT or the Economist, but a good chunk of them are going to be honeymooners, for example, who I'd imagine are exactly the sort who would look to Instagram for ideas. Likewise there are obviously people in their 20s who could afford to stay in these places, and not all of them spend their time on HN. I'd guess Instagram is as good a place as any to reach them.

Yes, I am pretty sure he wasn't a patriot.

You could say nothing is to be trusted, in which case notning means anything. So, there's no point in even thinking about it.

Or, you can apply logic and decide what makes the most sense and, thus, whose story is most trustworthy. At the end of the day he stole documents and passed them to what is very reasonably claimed to be a cutout for Russian intelligence (logic would agree). You can look at the effect it had on the U.S. and who that advantaged. The claimed purpose was to blow the whistle on domestic spying (the presumed patriotism), however, the documents also contained information that damaged relations between the U.S. and one of its most important European and NATO allies (among other things). Again, who was keenly interested in embarrasing the U.S. and damaging such alliances?

To top it off, he gains asylum in Russia?

It's all just a bit too convenient. At the end of the day, you can appreciate what he did on the domestic spying front, but that doesn't absolve him. He provided aid and comfort to an adversary in ways that undermined his country. There's another word for that and it's the opposite of patriotism.

I’ve downloaded a copy of the PDF book.

So firstly, thank you!

I’ve both studied and created affinity networks.

The most recent network(both online/meatspace)I created(in partnership with 8 others) over the last 2.5 years has achieved repeated national recognition from our Prime Minister and relevant Cabinet Minister.

So I’ve got some relevant hybrid network building experience.

Although being a successful builder, doesn’t necessarily qualify me as a capable engineer.

My network/community/org building has been informed by “Team of Team” by Stan McChrystal and “One Mission” by Chris Fussell.

Team of Teams is the macro to the One Mission micro.

What also informed our network/community/orgs the failure of Arab Spring, Tea Party, and Occupy Movement.

Being a student of unconventional warfare and counter-insurgency theory there are advantages to agile/adaptive distributed/decentralised networks.

I’m a big fan of the McChrystal/Fussell org charts of a cloud network that incorporates and overlays just enough hierarchical “skeletal structure” to prevent it from collapsing upon itself akin to Occupy/Tea Party.

The study of non-violent movements is quite fascinating and there is a significant body of work available for free found here:

Einstein Institute:

https://www.aeinstein.org/free-resources/

Canvas:

http://canvasopedia.org/publications/

We are building our network “rocket” as we are flying it. But it’s nice to have resources to beg, borrow, or “steal like an artist”.

When it comes to building networks, I think it is equal parts art and behaviour science matched to the right cause/time.

In short, I view network engineering as building a cult, with a Net Promoter Score of 9+.
London will be fine, it's the regions that are likely to suffer. This is somewhat ironic as it was the regions that voted for it.
One data point: LTE gives me 65-90ms ping RTT in reasonable non-crowded indoor conditions. Subjectively, working interactively via LTE is totally fine for me. Compare that to UMTS (3G T-Mobile DE) where I think RTT was more like 350ms and working interactively is a pain.
Nah, but I get by.
> While there have been some questions about the quality of some of China's research, its researchers are producing a growing number of the most highly cited papers. (Oddly, Switzerland has led in this category by a wide margin.)

I’d say Switzerland’s excellence in research is rather expected. With average pay significantly higher than other European countries and multilingual society, they are probably a magnet for top talent from other European nations. (If anyone has more info, please feel free to add.)

In Asia, Singapore has positioned itself as Switzerland’s equivalent. It has worked itself into a financial and knowledge-based industry hub. Its residents speak multiple major languages, including English and Mandarin, as well as others from Chinese and Indian cultures. The small island state (< 6 million population) is punching above its weight in innovation as reflected in recent rankings of its top two universities (both in top 3 or top 5 in Asia and top 20-30 overall globally; top 10 globally in engineering).

(Relatedly, Lee Kuan Yew, the late founder of modern Singapore, was an advisor to several Chinese leadership teams. Several Chinese metropolises probably took inspiration and ideas from Singapore.)

Some ideas and policies from Singapore and Switzerland can probably help ignite innovation hubs for other serious governing bodies.

I value myself more than to sit around for months so that the company may feel secure.

I usually start looking for a new job after a month, since I'm not needed here and I'm bored (I also can't talk about this with the manager, or at least whenever I tried nothing fruitful came out of it; doing opensource or just reading tutorials were usually dismissed - the best managers can come up with in these situations is that you "document everything").
I like the points you're making. The proportion of us who aren't convinced by this zeitgeist's most promoted fears is larger than it seems.

I'm not willing to consider a bot swarm to be human though, just a new human tool used to do stuff humans have been doing forever.

Since I've been watching, society has been one step behind the state of the art manipulation techniques. It seems like society gains a big increase in resistance to a technique when we collectively agree on a catchy label for it. Morton Downy Jr. and all the big audience talk shows of the 80s and 90s were perfecting ways control the fears of people (particularly parents). They seemed to become a lot less influential when we started calling it "Trash TV".

24 hour news adopted the lessons learned from Trash TV, and really refined them after 9/11. The Iraq War, the Patriot Act, the financial crisis were all offered to the public by the same techniques that made your mom ask you if you were huffing canned air.

It hasn't been until a few years after internet techniques have been put into use at scale that society has accepted "fake news" as a label for the last cycle's technique. We've always known "shill" but it doesn't seem like it's the label to start inoculating us. To be fair, we did mitigate a class of techniques with "clickbait". I'm super curious what the final phrase we'll settle on is that'll blunt artificial consensus and fake conversations.

The fear I come back to is that those who manipulate and exploit have perfected not pushing people too far, so things will always get worse and we'll never again have a sinusoidal rebound to an era of greater optimism.

Two things help assuage that fear for me. 1) Reading historical examples of conspiracies to manipulate and exploit. There are a ton of things in American history alone that make the current suspected intrigues pretty milquetoast. The Business Plot was crazy! Bay of Pigs. Mohammad Mosaddegh. MK Ultra. Tuskegee. All that makes me feel less worried that we've got a steepening slope to dystopia.

2) The various revisions to the Playstation 4's "TV and Video" section. I don't have to worry about companies riding fascism's razor edge, they're as unsubtle as ever.
Cause now if NASA needs some extra funding they just need to convince Kim Kardashian (or whoever replaces her day after tomorrow on the top of the pyramid) of its importance. It's going to happen. Just watch.
The average IQ of the Internet user population has dropped at least two standard deviations from the pre-commercial days to now. As a result the quality really truly has dropped. I suspect that whatever eventually displaces Facebook is going to accomplish that by somehow dumbing things down even more.
Badly and poorly are synonyms.
I think the difference between the historical US and the British Empire is not so much the type of oppression as the scale. The US is currently under 8% of the world's land area. The British Empire was close to a quarter at its largest, and there has never been a larger.
> A social media site, for example, could query the registry and decide to render a "credibility badge" when displaying links from a news organization that is whitelisted.

Yes, the key word is "decide". To use your "credibility badge" example, an organization could ostensibly behave like they accurately respect the registry while also surreptitiously ignoring the registry in situations that suit them. You might say, "well those organizations will develop a reputation for dishonesty", which might be true if they get caught, but also isn't at all different from the status quo today where selective reporting and partisan bias are bemoaned loudly and often by every side regarding every issue.

A cynical take on that would be that Jefferson and the other southern aristocrats wanted to limit the supply of slaves so that the value of their estates would skyrocket. I don't actually know much about the time so don't take that musing too seriously.

History is not written by the victors, nor by the truthtellers; it is written by the people who make stuff up that others enjoy repeating. For instance, I disagree with your claim about the Betsy Ross story. I think it's ridiculous to insist that everyone treats it as gospel any more than the story of Washington and the cherry tree. But if your claim feels "truthy" to others based on their prejudices then it will be repeated and be immortal. Who "wins" or "loses" and how we define winning or losing is irrelevant.

This is how the internet and the tech industry in general have worked. Legislators and regulators are reluctant to clamp down on an emerging industry before it's clear how it's going to work. At one point the legality of Napster was legitimately up for debate. As time went on, however, those regulations have come. I think this is actually the right approach. Be conservative in regulating a new industry and wait until it's mature and understood, while allowing it to grow and work out as many kinks in the free market before the government steps in.
Yes, assuming intellectual trends based on race is a horrible idea. I can't accept that it does anything but lead to justification for racism. to be in the nba, you have to be really tall. you might benefit from there being less opportunities than athletics for your peers, so you'll try harder. seeing others that a similar succeeding might motivate you more. these could be things that help asians see they can succeed, but at the same time shows blacks that the nba is a more likely opportunity than traditional college (whether its true or not).
It's not clear to me that this is good advice for an early stage rapidly growing startup. As a founder of a small firm , not VC funded, but we're growing very nicely so far (at startup rates of growth). The problem with firing an employee or hiring above them without their consent is that for a team that's 3-10 people, the dynamic is seriously disruptive. It is very possible for the entire team to walk out on you, and your company is then dead. Secondly, the article asks you as a founder to make a disingenuous promise to your team: that you will help them grow. Clearly you cannot help them. Any growth that happens, happens because they rose to the occasion, and not because your company helped them. So if your team figures that they are going to get layered in a year or so, they won't bother with you. It may be different in VC funded superstar rocketship startup with 100+ employees, but does not translate to early stage growth and DEFINITELY NOT to small businesses. In the latter case, you are better off being very, very careful with hiring and then investing in the long term in the hired employee's growth.

Apple Didn’t Kill AppKit, Millenials Did
Basing your views on meandering blogs from a hyper partisan site is typical for the times, but an extremely bad idea. Read the actual views of the founding fathers on slavery. This article [1] sums things in a pretty balanced way. Jefferson actually wrote against slavery in the initial draft of the declaration of independence.

Of course he also owned slaves along with many other founding fathers, yet institutional ideals and personal action are often detached. For instance Apple products today are produced in factories where workers earn a pittance per day while living in on-site dormitories surrounded by suicide nets. And we can go much more overt as many chocolate treats are produced as a direct product of slave labor which is still rife in West Africa - companies like Hershey and Nestle being some of the biggest sponsors there. And then there's your seafood, or catfood and other seafood derivatives.

Okay all that aside, another big point is that the United States' original view was one of an extremely minimal federal government. States would essentially be similar to nations in terms of sovereignty, but united under a single flag for collective defense and other necessities. Slavery remained a major issue throughout the founding of the country. The Republican party was actually founded in large part as the anti-slavery party. Founded in 1854, the party's first president would be elected in 1860 - Abraham Lincoln.

Imagine Musk, and SpaceX, succeeds in their mission to colonize Mars. And Mars ends up electing its own representatives. Who do you think they might pick to the highest role available? That a people are highly reverent of the people that lead them towards progress has nothing to do with aristocracy.

> the type of Handler3 can be had as Result<Tuple<Data, Address>, NSError>,

The combination of data and lookup is more like data(lookup(default)), which in haskell (assuming we could encode the error type neatly):

load =<< lookup "default".

So Result3's first parameter is of type Data.

> You probably don't really care about the exact error that can be thrown by either handler, you just need enough information to display a sensible message to the user.

Please consider looking for the part of the article we're discussing where it says, "However, adding that extra type information to our result type does have some nice benefits - for example, it lets us specifically handle all possible errors at the call site, like this"

Ultimately we'd like to get to where the compiler can do at least a rudimentary totality check on the error handler.

P.S., I know my prose is rambling and my code is overly verbose, but please consider how it makes me feel when you give me suggestions I myself discussed in the prior post.

> Is there any chance 5g will break the walls that prevent real unlimited data?

For providers to provide true unlimited data, you have to have true unlimited bandwidth.

Wireless connectivity is provided through a shared medium. For comparison you have wired networking where every customer has a dedicated medium, the wire, for themselves. This is what makes all the difference between actually unlimited and capped plans.

So, no. Not today. Not anytime soon.

It's not just entertainment. I live in New Zealand and have very limited (1 satellite tv provider and a few streaming services) choice in what news and documentaries I can legally watch.
