Flip this around. What's the reason for keeping him displayed against his wishes? Because, that's what what we're already doing? Just because something was done for a long time isn't a reason to keep doing it. The question is if the reasons for doing it in the past are still relevant today.

Let's be honest here. He was stolen, boiled and stuck in a box. Then shown off for arguably educational purposes. But whatever scientific benefit the bones had is long since exhausted as the a DNA sample was already taken. The benefit for public viewing could easily be accomplished by a plastic model.

So why shouldn't he be buried at sea? Why should we not correct obvious wrongs? What benefit does it serve? To show that people can do bad things with impunity? That we don't care? If the whole point of keeping his skeleton is to stick a plaque on it, why not just put up the plaque? What's the point of the skeleton at all?
You need to realize that just because he isn't a 'target' at this time, it does not mean he cannot become a target in the future. Right now he is considered a subject of the investigation and his behavior/actions are under scrutiny of the Mueller investigation. If Trump is elevated to target of the investigation, then that means the Mueller investigation has significant evidence that a crime was committed.

Considering how many high level people in Trump's close orbit have been indicted or investigated it would be extremely difficult for him to have not known about any of this occurring in his campaign.

You're deliberately missing the point and watering down the argument, and you know it. That question is not asked in good faith, it is not asked to start a conversation, it is asked only to obfuscate the truth and cause trouble.

The only thing that matters is, has US law enforcement conducted investigations, and of those investigations, which ones have produced evidence of actual crimes having been committed?

Your whataboutism doesn't change anything. It doesn't uncommit the crimes, it doesn't rescind the indictments, and it doesn't reverse the guilty pleas. US law enforcement has found evidence of crimes and some of those criminals have pled guilty. Some of them are sitting in jail right now.

Sorry, what was your question again? Because what I heard you ask was "why are the admitted criminals in jail and not the victims?"
> Assigning negative term after term to harmless groups of people was intended to be emotionally wearing and to make most participants feel uncomfortable. Plenty dropped out as it got more intense. For those who carried on, it was a belief that they were contributing to something important – a rigorous scientific study – that drove them to push through.

It's a pretty sloppy to assume that they believed this because of an authority figure.

As a sort of meta-point: it’s never useful to point out the ways in which analogies fail in this way. [0] You know exactly what is meant by the analogy, as does everyone else. This isn’t responsive or helpful. All analogies are leaky.

In general, I’d encourage you to try to find the ways in which an analogy may elucidate. Anybody with an ounce of motivation can note the ways in which they don’t. If you start with that motivation, you’ll succeed every time, to no particular end.

[0] All this does is send us into a back-and-forth where I shore up the analogy by specifying that the 15 are all adults, and then specifying that, yes, in this neighborhood that's allowed, and so on, until eventually we've hashed out every pointless detail of the electoral system in this fictional town.
I am with you and I do the same with wine. South Africa actually do make their own whiskey which tends to be better priced than the imports. Drinking imported single malt whiskey is seen as a status symbol. I am sometimes amused when I see someone order a 12-18 year old whiskey only to add lemonade to it. All to show off that they can afford the 12-18 year old whiskey.
I think this is less about the right to privacy and more about the right to be forgotten.
Because there's a difference between, "oh look, JustSomeNobody just went into the mall" and "JSN went into the mall, then he bought a slice of pizza, next he sat in the massage chairs. After he got up from the massage he went into the As Seen On TV store and bought some cheap doodads. Finally he exited the mall 45 minutes after he entered it."

Also, while anyone _can_ take a photo or video of you, they cannot do whatever they want _with_ that photo or video. If they use that photo to portray a scenario that simply did not happen then they can be in some serious trouble.
That's because it's a fraudulent number with zero supporting evidence. There's no actual public data on what China is spending on "quantum physics."

Following the link through to the original proposal, this seems like a misinterpretation of the suggestion. The problem this was supposed to "fix" was people using the existence of their being "vast literature" to shut down arguments.

From that perspective, the suggestion seems fine. You should be able to dig out two examples that show your field isn't nonsense. I don't think it was meant to be a high bar:

> There are actual examples of vast literatures that contain zero knowledge: Astrology, for instance. People have written so much about astrology that I bet you could spend decades reading what they've written and not even come close to the end. But at the end of the day, the only thing you'd know more about is the mindset of people who write about astrology. Because astrology is total and utter bunk.
The backdoors (plural) were continuously relaying to a command+control server for a period of months. APT is justifiable as it refers to the entire process--coordinated penetration, continuous monitoring, and repeated exfiltration.

Furthermore, the public leaks _began_ before much of the direct communication, but the direct communication included material that had not yet been publicly leaked. The public leaks didn't occur all at once. They were staged to maximize impact.

Poorly researched article, no citations and the numbers that are provided are grossly misleading. Ex:

>40 million Americans live in poverty, while 50 million Mexicans do

The Mexican poverty rate is $157/month and less in rural areas whereas US is over $1000/month.

Even with that, the US poverty rate is 12.7% below the national poverty line whereas Mexico's is 42%.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_Mexico

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_the_United_States#R...

Mexico also isn't anywhere near the bottom compared to other countries. Only 2% of Mexican citizens live below the international poverty line.

My definition of "modern" is, essentially, postwar, so it includes all the monstrosities from the 1950-1970 era. We are doing better now, that's true.

What I would love to see is a breakdown of locations of miners over time. I wonder if the increase is in places where electricity is cheaper and/or subsidized.

I do not believe the increase has anything to do with better mining hardware since the top mining hardware has not really changed much in over two years.

My guess is either:

1. Most people have already invested in the hardware and are therefore okay mining at a loss with the hope that the Bitcoin price will rise again in the future.

OR

2. A lot of miners are using renewable energy in which case it wouldn’t make sense to stop. For example, if you are using wind or solar or hydro energy, then the energy is still going to be available even if you turn off your mining hardware.

> That's a bold claim given that this indictment is exclusively of Russian agents

This is not the only indictment by the special counsel office, and the statement of the offense in one of the guilty pleas in a prior indictment is directly about active collusion efforts.

And I'm discussing what is at issue in the scandal, not merely what is covered by indictments that have already been issued.

> the special counsel has explicitly stated that said President is not a target of the probe

People read too much into that, because they tend to think that “target” is a broader term than it is, particularly, that it includes what is actually termed a “subject” rather than a “target”. That's notable because the special counsel has also explicitly said Trump is a subject of the investigation.

Its identifiable, yes, but not personal. Otherwise, all free-form text entry would have to be processed prior to a GDPR request, which is not likely.

Take Facebook as an example, when you request your personal data, they present what is linked in their database to you, which is of course not where anyone mentions your name. Who is to say that my name (Paul Smith) identifies me and not some other Paul?

In Japan's case what it took was losing World War II and subsequent military occupation. Japan's zoning is the result of mid 1940's "industry best practice" where the zoning industry was fledgling and interrupted by war and depression. It was accompanied by land reform that redistributed land wealth downward. A foreign power declared it by fiat and implemented it under martial law. One might say that Japan's stacked zoning exists because Macarthur didn't have to hold an election. The Allies held war crimes trials instead...a type of political climate historically conducive to land reform and sweeping legal changes.

Martial law is probably not the alternative you're looking for.
Annecdotally from experience of advocating for less-open offices and more cubes / mini-offices, there's not a lot of concrete data out there from reputable sources to counter research from strong sources like HBS and the like justifying open-office collaboration to convincingly make the case to Management Execs.

I personally like seeing articles like this because it helps add to my backlog of research to point to for when I make the case yet again in the future.
Absolutely - and a great example - but that's more of a sub-issue than the actual issue itself.
1. yes. 2. yes. The complete lack of a notice period is my biggest problem, as I could have easily responded to an email to say that it had not been abandoned.

My username was forcibly changed to "mind-zz". I found this out a mere 2 months after it happened, upon logging in.

Admittedly, my account did have little activity. I used it to make a bona fide Rust bug report, logged in at various other times to check said bug report or just look around, and then life happened.

So there weren't public URLs that were being relied on. Although according to the customer service response, they would have done the exact same thing even if it had copious early activity.

Presumably there's more of an invisible line based on how much your usage looks like you're dependent on them, and how much of a public disruption it would cause. But that's the point - the actual Rust repo isn't about to get yanked out from under all of us, and people that fit the mold of creating their new repos on Github are probably fine. But the less you're in the "community" the more you're at the mercy of their arbitrariness.
This is one of the dumbest things I've read in a while. America practically created the modern world, in ways good (transportation, electronics, medicine) and bad (modern warfare). But sure, the fact that you dont like the president negates all of that. Still the wealthiest country in human history, and it's not close. Please just look, for one second, at how the poorest Americans compare to the rest of the world. Its a positive story. Always more to be done, but take a step back once in a while and appreciate how amazing the world we live in is.

>the use of email increase between 22 percent and 56 percent

Less about email, more about Slack these days.

I think someone on Twitter pointed this out (maybe DHH?) : it's quite hilarious to walk into an office in SF that rents for 10's of thousands of dollars a month and see everyone glued to their laptop screens sending messages over Slack.
I'd guess the idea would be to pass around a copy of Hamlet, the Odyssey, Canterbury Tales, KJV Bible[1], or a similar public domain lengthy and popular work that would, in itself, draw no attention to itself.

For me, the reason I always hesitated to use widespread encryption ahead of mainstream adoption was that standing out as an oddity seemed to pose a greater threat than taking no extraordinary efforts. That is, if I engaged in behavior similar to someone with good reason to hide then I might become a target for scrutiny. My "opsec" wouldn't have been effective for anything beyond casual scrutiny, so my security efforts would have been demonstrably counter-productive[1]. At least that was my logic. A couple examples: as soon as full disk encryption started shipping with Windows, I used it. When choosing between SMS, Hangouts, and iMessage, I'd choose iMessage.

Not saying my logic was sound, but feel confident that it contains at least a degree of truth.

[1] Sort of an all-or-nothing choice. Taking some steps arguably makes you a higher profile requiring consistent security measures taken at every turn.
Beethoven, Einstein, Gates, Jobs. etc, all put in the grueling hard boring hours doing the things that weren't fun. They did what they were good and successful at, which when you become an expert at becomes very fulfilling.

There's a guy at our Home Depot who might be the best Home Depot salesman in the country. Just fun to be around, great with customer service, knows everything about the store, and always training new employees, and honestly seems to enjoy his job.

But I doubt he was thrilled when on his first day he was sweeping the floors after close.

The property tax thing would not be true in California. Tax value is based on purchase price.
I can't find the article anymore, but the "open office vs. cubicle" debate suffers from the same thing that so many of these hot-buttons topics suffer from: nuance.

The original "action offices" by Herman Miller were a lot more similar to the "open offices" you see today. There's space to collaborate, but still enough to have your own privacy. People can engage and disengage how they see fit.

However, corp overlords took the "action office" to its logical extreme and created the oft-loathed cubicles to cram as many workers in one space, like cattle.

Then, the backlash. Open Offices! So cool! Everyone talks to each other! This, too, was taken to its logical extreme, with long tables and 0 privacy. Similarly, this was born out of short-term objectives around the bottom line instead of thinking about the employees and getting work done.

The real solution, I think, is to get out of the frame of open vs. closed vs. cubicles vs. whatever, and start thinking about not only your corporate culture, but how your company plans to get work done on a day-to-day. Great offices are really expensive, at the end of the day. If your employer makes a lot of money but still treats you like an expense, rather than an owner, then perhaps consider looking elsewhere.

Here's a video I found that's related to the afore-mentioned article that I couldn't find:

You realise stalking is just a series of semi-continuous short encounters?

A different (larger) amount of a same thing can have different properties, some of which might not be desirable. That's how one can allow one thing and not the other, because the effect is different, even though it can be argued that it's technically the same.
Giving your friends samples of interesting things you've found over the years is really fun. And sometimes it's a bit like having a nice suit that you put on for special occasions. My collection grew to the point I realized I could never drink it all, so I started giving it away, and now I only collect something new when I've emptied something else. It's fun to go back and try things. "Ooh, I haven't had the Absinthe in a while!"

If the agent is known to be an agent, Congress can quickly impeach him. During an election, all parties are highly incentivized to find dirt on the others, which helps increase the likelihood of discovery. No system is perfect, but directly voting in an agent is generally unlikely.
Thank you for your patience.

1) Many women dress nicely. Some for themselves, some to impress others as well, most to impress the opposite gender. I can't see myself complimenting my female colleagues on the outfit, while I would definitely complement non-work-related female acquaintances.

2) My colleague is a great engineer. Saying "You are a great engineer" is ok, saying "You are a proof that girls can kick ass in engineering" I feel is a no-no. In the first case I'm completely ignoring that she's a woman. And I understand that it is ok, that the "you are a woman" prism should be out of the optics.

I think that many women want to be seen as women at their workplaces, just without any advances, condescension (mostly tech thing), harassment etc. Firstly a professional, secondly a woman.

I hope this makes it clearer.. or am I just an unaware misogynist?
You've answered neither of my questions though, just given me reasons that this doesn't disprove your "active collaboration" claim. I don't think any of this does disprove it, but you claim that he "actively collaborated" with Russia in this hack. I'm just wondering what, specifically, he did to "actively collaborate" and what the evidence of this is.
