Very important context is that this policy is fits an openly stated shift by the current administration (no matter what you think of them) away from the post-WWII international order, based on the rule of law (the 'rules-based order') and to pre-WWII interstate geopolitical competition. IIRC the quote from Kelly or McMaster, 'Geopolitics is back with a vengence' (they embraced that idea), and I think most people are familiar with the America First policy. Early in the Trump administration, two top officials (McMaster and Mattis?) wrote an op-ed in the WSJ where they said, 'there is no community of nations'; it's everyone for themselves.

The postwar order was built by the victors of WWII, including Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin, because they believed that nationalism and geopolitical competition led to wars - remember they had seen WWI, WWII, and the centuries of wars before that, which they saw as the worst scourge of humanity (I'm not sure of Stalin's thinking there). They also thought that, due to the technology of 1945, the next major war could devastate civilization, even without nuclear weapons - look at the devastation in Europe, as an example, from WWII. And IIRC 1/3 of European men (or British men?) died in WWI. Imagine what could be done with today's technology. Would civilization survive? ~200 people million died in WWII; how many would die today?

One effect of acting in this way (i.e., as described in the article) outside the postwar rules-based order is that, especially as the U.S. was the foundation of that order, it actively destroys the order and makes it difficult to return to it in the next administration. It creates anarchy, which undermines the authority of law. The success of that order was overwhelming; the greatest period of peace, liberty, and prosperity in history by orders of magnitude. One thing I don't understand is, who would want to dismantle it? For what ends? The only answer I've seen is that it's the Culture Wars taken too far - they've forgotten what they are fighting for.

This is fantastic. I've "learned" this lesson several times (this time it's going to stick, I hope). When I exercise regularly: I sleep better, cope with stress better, feel better, am more productive and have more energy. Whenever I've cancelled a workout due to stress, overwork or "not having enough time," I've fallen off my program for months, put on weight and suffered from poor sleep and low energy and productivity. Never again. Now I make it part of my work day, because it's as important to getting my work done as anything else I have to do.
> Similar examples of retroactive history exist in English history where first recorded mentions are 200+ years after the events in question, not to mention excluding whole groups of people from history, ie women, slaves, children, commoners, losers, etc.

Certainly, but the American revolution was just 200 years ago or so, and we have outsiders views like Alexis de Tocqueville who should be regarded as primary source of truth regarding what the Revolution led to, instead of a pullitzer prize professor from 20xx who has never even remotely lived in that period.

> ... behind every great movement there can be and often is great horror.

Exactly. It _was_ a great movement. It was singular and amazing there were brave people who did incredible things. At the same time: they left a lot of people worse off than they would have been otherwise. Both things are true. It sucks when you want a pure righteous hero to look up to, especially people that ultimately gave us so much. But that's what happened. Nothing honest that we can do looks past that.

The fact is the reason anyone pays for content online is because the cost to access it is less than the cost to download and manage it as well as the possible cost of acquiring it is less than the cost of accessing it, which goes down the more content can be accessed. Every monthly subscription has an additional cost of maintaining beyond it's numenary value which quickly bring them above just torrenting the content. Ultimately the content is just constant information, which is pretty cheap on the internet.

Thanks for the comment.

I suppose I should have front loaded the comment, I was basically saying there was too wide a net cast by that comment so it was difficult to get into the grits of it.

Fair call.
It's a little more complicated than that. Since an ICE engine catches on fire so often (every 3 minutes, so 175,000 per year!) no one reports it. You cannot find it by searching google. You don't get meaningful results for "corvette fires" but they are happening. But teslas are almost always news. bolts aren't quite as important as teslas in terms of getting news. But it is interesting that there are not that many reports. Also, Volts (not bolts) should probably catch on fire as frequently as regular gas cars but I didn't find results online about that.

So in summary, (1) teslas are the hype car so issues get reported, (2) bolts have few reports, but they aren't quite the same hype car, but it is a good sign for bolts. (3) ice car fires don't get reported because they are so common. So it's hard to draw conclusions but I will offer that Bolts aren't terrible when it comes to fires because they'd probably get more reports.
"Modern scholars haven’t gone so far as to describe Benedict Arnold as a hero for turning against this rather squalid and nasty revolution"

Refuted in the same article in the next paragraph. Outside of tabloids I don't know that I've read something more intellectually dishonest recently.

The actual heros of the revolution however shitty by modern ethical standards were building their peice of the only hope for a just world we have. Democracy however shitty we still are is a transition like unto agriculture is necessary for our progress as a species.

He betrayed this for status and gold.

There are two sides of this of course his is just disgusting by present and modern standards.
I actually meant what I said,maybe I was speaking my belief as opposed to the popular view I disagree with?

For example, we can debate the ethics surrounding killing a person. Can I kill a useless member of society? How about a dangerous criminal? Someone trying to kill me? I can accept all of that as a question of ethics.

What I cannot accept is framing ethics with an end goal in mind such as "killing people will reduce the population" vs "killing is not the best way to reduce the population","Killing dangerous criminals will prevent future violent crimes" or "you shouldn't kill useless members of society because that won't guarantee a productice society". These questions are framed with the end goal beinf the reason the act is considered ethical or not.

My belief is that asking if an act is ethical relative to a desired end goal is in itself unethical. If the end goal is the deciding factor then we're discussing strategy not ethics.

Totally this. Most of the car forums I 'grew up on' 10 years ago are pretty much just wastelands these days. Where they were once a buzz with fantastic knowledge, insightful comments and advice, etc, they're now mostly filled with image-less posts (ImageShack, PhotoBucket, etc), spammy posts, and crickets. The missing images is the biggest shame... "The issue is the hose circled in red"... no pic.

Probably the most useful would be the author honestly assessing their content. And second would be a good set of editors. Then you could trust the publication.
> extension of their slavery

First, during the revolution, all slave trade was banned by the new government of the US. And after the war, it became of matter of state jurisdiction: several states went ahead and abolished slavery on their own in less than 10 years following the independence war. Isn't what what you call progress when institutions made it a possibility?
You're right, instead of getting a XDCC link from a listserv, you now buy a modded HTPC off Craigslist. It's way easier to pirate things now.

You seem to be suggesting that Harvard should represent the US because it currently does represent the US. I don't find that particularly compelling logic, but I believe the underlying assumption is also false.

I see, you were making a point about a bigger cultural and historical situation, while I was trying to find examples of artists who were/are (attempting to) keeping the old masters' techniques and the spirit alive.

Along with Ernst Fuchs and Dali, I would place H. R. Giger in that line - not in terms of specific technique, but "the skills and ways of looking" of an artist, if not a master.. That's a mere trickle though, and certainly not a tradition anymore, just individual exceptions. I agree with your point that "Painting has deteriorated since the old masters."

It rings true about the "crisis in the formation of artists", that in modern times, something essential has been lost in what it means to be an artist. The wider loss of cultural direction, the disenchantment - I wonder whether it's related to the loss of mythology and religion.
This is completely true. However, after having learned both sides, I certainly appreciate the compiler’s help. I think it’s the classic tradeoff between specialization and accessability at play here.

I’m admittedly in the “2nd rat(meaning not Tesla) gets the cheese” camp.

So I may be quite biased.

But I think if THIS particular story that involves a celebrity with major reach(8.8 million social) is “seeded” then THAT would be a MAJOR story and SEC investigation and DOJ prosecution.

I definitely get your point that Tesla shorts are biased heavily towards bad news stories.
This may be just nostalgia talking, but I think a big part of it is that these days there is much more of a 'commercial' nature to the internet.
'Back in the day', it seemed like there were a lot more 'community' focused sites, that were primarily there to serve the community, rather than to actually make a profit. Forums, blogs, etc where communities of people with similar interests would share information, collaborate, or just 'hang out'. Forums in general seem to have almost died out, and most blogs have some kind of commercial intent.
It seems a lot like managing your own modeling and PR business. I am not by any means saying that all influencers are attractive (or that it’s the source of their popularity when they are!) but the line between being an influencer and an “instagram model” seems very wide and grey.

I can think of two directions we could go from where we are - perhaps Authorative Media: a return to the government telling us everything we need to know? Very dark, but a "government influencer" could still work..

And perhaps more positive - Truthful Media: Information generated by people, in the 'open source' way that you can fully trust. Hard to believe, but almost necessary. A blockchain of real information sources and trusted information processors (aka influencers), who give opinions that can be traced back to facts.

I think that perhaps glamour and fantasy will always win out - reality is boring and human nature wont get us to choose facts when fantasy gets our attention much more

>Do you only think it is a problem for admission metrics?

No, just one way that arguably is a place to do it. I don't believe there is a silver bullet.

>What about other clearly obvious racial biases. Is it a problem that the NBA lacks Asian players?

There are some parallels to think about here, but on the whole no, and I think the main reason there is because we view Physical pursuits differently than mental ones.

We know that different races have generally different physical attributes, as well as a culture surrounding a specific sport, however I think as a society we view work as a mostly purely mental pursuit (that is arguable too of course), and we do not view it to have a restriction based on race as no particular race is smarter than another. NBA has a base requirement of a certain physical element, which is hard to overcome with the mental side, and if your particular race is known to be taller as a whole than you'll get more people being good at it.

I don't think it is as simple as that (culture and race intertwine a fair bit here...) but the low and the short of it I think is that. Culture plays a part in grass roots numbers of people picking up the sport and going with it of course. And there is argument there about whether it should be promoted more to other cultures/races specifically.

I don't have an answer though, I don't know much about NBA.

"We want a hub but well take what we can get as long as the content is good."

I'm not sure. Convenience seems to trump content in a lot of markets. If you have a solid baseline level of content, the best experience wins.

In that regard, a fragmented market could cause the entire streaming model to-- well perhaps not collapse, but fail to flower fully.

Cable says "Yeah, you're spending $80 per month, but there's one consistent UI, one login, one bill."

Streaming with one service like pre-fragmentation Netflix, says "You're spending $10 per month, getting a modest content pool, and it's all still pretty easy to use."

But how will people respond to "You're spending $50 per month, get a fairly broad selection of content, but it's all scattered across a bunch of services which behave subtly differently and have to be managed independently?"

They might well respond by going back to the less-hassle cable option, or just shed services til they get to something that feels manageable-- one or two services, maybe paying for a month of something else to binge its signature show once a year. Netflix and HBO might kick out enough big draws to justify subscribing year-round, but will a low-budget or niche player?

Since I lack the skills to riffle succesfully, I usually sort and shuffle based on the properties of the game at hand. I usually sort somewhat randomly to stacks, where the number of stacks is larger than the regular set in the game (but < 2 times the regular set). After that, a few quasi riffles and I feel I've made the next game sufficiently random from the sorting that the last game gave. Wonder if I could wrap my math around formalising that.
It's not like slavery was abolished in all parts around the world before the US. And several states in the US abolished slavery in a few years after the independence war - it became a matter of state policy.
