the title should be 'why some vietnamese activists might move on from facebook'. i think conducting any kind of foreign policy operation would be a mistake.

the problem is: people seem to enjoy great freedom and are generally content. by supporting the activists by having facebook pull out the USA might cause a few problems but it is not going to force regime change, so they might as well do nothing. it would just make the lives of ordinary vietnamese a bit worse.

Second answer since I missed your initial point...

If I am actually innocent, there are most likely three scenarios:

1. The DA drops the charges. This is a very common outcome when the case is not a slam dunk.

2. I was a witness to the crime and/or I was in the vicinity of the crime, and for some reason I was not willing to mention this to the DA. This happens a fair bit (esp. the vicinity one), but this is not a "slam dunk guilty" case, and every lawyer will tell you this. My guess is that I would talk to the DA via my lawyer, because I aggressively avoid hanging around places that are likely to have crime (even the white collar variety), and I have nothing to hide.

3. I was framed. This is tricky. My reaction would depend on the context, but again, I keep a healthy distance from people who regularly and knowingly commit crimes.

It seems like a lot of people think that DAs just sit around looking for fake charges to drop on innocent people. This simply does not happen as much as some commenters seem to think it does. Does it happen? Sure. Is this something I ever worry about? No, never.

Do you know of any/many completely innocent people who were wrongly jailed?

The worst I know of is a guy who was trafficking 9,000 pounds of marijuana and got fingered for the whole thing rather than charged as one of three. His issue? He didn't sing and the others did. He got what many would call an unreasonably long sentence given the circumstances (iirc, he did 2 years). Note that a crime had actually been committed (and he admitted to it, at least to friends), so it's not like he was innocent.

But then it's a simple case of the front bus not letting anyone on (only opens it's rear doors). Everyone then gets on the 2nd bus. The people become spread out between the buses and the probability of not always needing to stop increases. That does obviously only work where your bus design allows it and also to some extent, your drivers being wise to it.
I feel like some of the commenters have 5 brand new computers at home. Some of us can't afford that sort of luxury. In my country you can buy 10 basic laptops for the price of one entry level mac. The result is that most people don't go for those things.

I am lucky enough to have two (rather old but still running) laptops at home. Neither are capable of running Windows 10, and the one which is able to run Windows 7 does so only sluggishly. Ubuntu with Xfce works great, super fast even on 32bits single core cpu, and there are no UI problems. I am able to do Android App development, Video Editing, and running a business.

Running Linux means I can have the latest security updates on older hardware for free. Extending the life of frankly still perfectly adequate machines as opposed to still running Windows XP - or worse just throwing them away and using the credit card.

I bought a touchscreen kindle. Gave it up for the older one with page turn buttons, which is just much nicer to use. Amazon nailed it with the kindle 3, and all the later ones are downhill.
Lets see we start with a false dichotomy of a 60s VW bus or something new and shiny as if the shiny in dash ui is why we want new and shiny and between a gazillion buttons and a crappy modal touchscreen that shows a gazillion different buttons in different screens instead. Ignoring the logical choice of a handful of important buttons for oft used features.

Interfaces are interesting to you because you want to design them the people driving to work could basically give two shits. The interface to the cars ui is the least interesting thing they could possibly imagine about their new car and if they notice it you probably screwed it up.

People like uninteresting interfaces that work like stuff they are already used to that are easy to operate preferably while cruising down the interstate at 70 miles per hour.

The last thing people could possibly want is an interface that silently changes state based on what the car thinks is going on because they will almost certainly just think its broken when it doesn't work as expected.

This also means that people will find that passengers can't use for example navigation while the car is moving because the car thinks is protecting the user from themselves. They will respond by grasping their phone in one hand while holding the wheel in the other so they can navigate or slightly better getting a little mount for their phone which will always be relatively new tech while their car quickly gets more obsolete long before the car outlives its usefulness.

The most amazing choice of words in the entire post is where you describe putting actual buttons as defeatist as if foisting crappy ui were a mission rather than an affliction.

My example of taking 100% of people's money is an extreme example that demonstrates the moral dilemma of taking other people money, regardless of how good the investment is.

The OP phrased taxes as an investment, similar to how one would "invest in their home".

And the comparison is not exactly valid. When I think of "investing", I think of taking my own money and putting it somewhere, not taking other people's money.

> Indeed - because it's not necessarily an investment for one's own maximum gain

Or maybe it doesn't maximize anything. Maybe other people are able to invest it better. Just because something is an investment, doesn't mean it is the BEST investment for society. And you always have to take into account that this "investment" is taking away money from other people, who might very well be doing something better for the world with it.
1. Ok.

2. Sustained growth at more than 10% is not realistic, especially for developed countries. I'm from a developing country and turning dirt farmers to office workers consistently will grow your economy by 10%. At some point you're going to run out of dirt farmers. This point is moot.

Regarding high, realistic growth (2-3%) for developed countries: Singapore, Sweden.

3. States tend to fail far more often due to external factors. In the modern era that's becoming rarer and rarer as the cost of destabilizing a foreign state generally outweighs the benefits.

4. I'd be very happy if you could show me some examples. Which "weak states" are developed states? I wouldn't call any state in a developed country a "weak state".

I imagine the answer to that is that it does result in better infrastructure and more incentives to move to smaller states, and if we didn't base our tax policy around HFE then it would be even worse than it is now.

In my costly experience - the curves make it guaranteed to crack the glass if dropped from above 40 cm if not using a bulky case.

Actually imho the reason why SUVs became popular is that

a) once a few were on the roads, you couldn't see the traffic ahead, unless you were also in an SUV which then allowed you to see through the front and rear windshield of the SUV ahead, and

b) stupid airbag regulations (you couldn't disable the passenger side airbag) meant that mothers couldn't put an infant in the front seat, because if the airbag went off it could crush the baby. Thus SUVs became more popular for use by mothers with children.
I imagine the work was carried out by a processor, which could be perfectly legal if the contract between the two entities had adequate data protection clauses. This is just a guess though, I'm sure its much more complex than that.
It was a general point about how there are endless articles predicting that there will not be enough of element X when that element is in fact not rare, merely energetically costly to refine, and in fact currently so common as to not drive effective recycling or conservation.

Good points, the second one in particular I don't think could be fixed without a full parser. Function order changes could possibly be worked around by a formatter/linter that can reorder functions, at the risk of creating more issues. The last could be handled be passing the code through the preprocessor (the -E flag in gcc) first.

By this point it's probably gone beyond the "perfect is the enemy of good" threshold though.

Why would you even... aah...
Serious question, what crime do you think you could get accused of with "slam dunk" level of evidence that you were actually innocent of?

It takes some serious mental gymnastics (e.g., your doppelganger commits a crime right as you walk by) or you living in a massively corrupt area.

As far as money goes, you can get a publicly appointed attorney that the state pays for if you cannot afford an attorney on your own. Some of these folks are really good, some aren't. That said, if you're totally innocent, no lawyer who has passed the bar should have any trouble getting the charges dropped. Again, DAs don't just sit around trying to frame people for crimes they didn't commit -- they have enough actual work to do.

I implemented this, on top of Fabric however, and with a semi-trusted controller node, for a rather large industry. Was a lot of fun, and is being used in production. You can get quite far with SHE.

Why stop? I’ve found the community great and it very relaxing.
I am really frustrated about this TBH. It is so incredibly obvious to me that it is a bad idea. Any time you spend looking down is time where the state of the cars around you are out of your view, and when you look back up, you have to take a split second to update your mental model of everything around you. A lot can happen in a split second, at 90kph you cover 25m in a second.

This is one of me and the SO's major bug bears. All the new cars sold here are touch screen only for everything, including climate control.

The thing is, people keep buying these because they show well in the showroom. Car manufacturers only import certain models in and they'll import what sells. Pretty soon I couldn't buy a non touch screen controlled model if I wanted to. What is the solution?

It's illegal to check your phone while driving because it's a distraction, maybe ban touch screens?

Most sites require you to set up another form of 2FA along with U2F (for example, TOTP using Google Authenticator). There are also recovery codes that you print and store on paper.

I don't consider losing a Yubikey to be a serious problem, though it's important not to use it to generate RSA keys, as then you will not be able to make any backups. Generate your keys in GnuPG and load them onto the key, keeping backups in secure offline locations.
I like the Kindle 3 so much I bought a second one, used, as a backup for when the first dies.
I don’t think banning cars would do much, to be honest. Banning cars might actually exacerbate the problem as the folks who would otherwise drive out of convenience now take the bus. Structurally, on many streets there literally just isn’t another lane available for an empty bus to overtake a full one. Getting rid of more cars, while a noble goal imo, won’t fix that.
People's inability to afford bail isn't an argument for plea bargains, that's an argument for letting people go on their own recognizance and abolishing cash bail, instead of keeping half a million unconvicted people in American jails.

Objecting to one criminal justice reform because it might exacerbate how the criminal justice system is also completely unfair in another, equally terrible way isn't very convincing, when you could actually be advocating to eliminate both problems.

Are you talking about going from DSLR to mirrorless? If so, I'm also toying with the same idea, but I'm unsure about when to switch.

DSLR tech has stagnated meaning they keep their value, so presently I can sell with a small loss, while mirrorless tech is rapidly improving so today's models will lose their value quickly - not a good investment. However, a lot of people seem to be making the switch, which will drive down the value of DSLRs over time, so switching too late means making a larger loss on my DSLR.

Not to mention the cost effectiveness of DSLRs vs. mirrorless cameras. From what I've read, mirrorless are still behind.

I suppose I should wait for the release of a mirrorless model that rivals similarly priced DSLRs at a time when the rate of improvement has lessened somewhat to maintain its value.

Controlling which doors open as dependent on how full the route is and how bunched the buses are is just going to confuse passengers and make for a horrible rider experience. I sympathize with the idea though, as veteran riders know to move to the back as the bus nears your stop.
One other problem with high mp cameras with small pixels vs lower mp cameras with larger pixels is that they needlessly need to process those extra pixels and they also need to do a lot more work just to get to the same quality. That translates to needing more processing power and less battery life.
European and Japanese cars of the early 90s had the best UI that just lets you concentrate on driving. No cupholders, usable storage space on the dashboard due to the lack of airbags, angular-everything, well laid-out knobs and switches orientated towards the driver.

My advice to my 25-year-old self: Focus on your career NOW. It might seem fun to be footloose and fancy free but the stress of being in poor finances in the future will cut you down.

Get a good job. Move for it. Anywhere. Don't worry about friends/relationships at this point.
I wouldn't say "no problems." I've been through a New York State residency audit and it was protracted, stressful, intrusive, and expensive (for representation -- worth every penny), even though I had indeed really moved (long before the audit and not specifically for tax reasons), had loads of evidence to that effect, and was confident I would prevail in the end. (I did.) It was very unpleasant having it hanging over me for the better part of a year and I definitely thought of it as a major problem, perhaps the major problem in my life at the time, until it was resolved.

Exactly this. Touch-screens require too much attention, they are even unsafe for walking. "Smartphone lanes" opened in some US or Chinese cities prove it [0].

The future should be taking example from aviation and building some AR with full windshield HUD or glasses (Google Glass/MS Hololens style). Then to keep control over that I would be fine with real buttons, touch-pad, track-point, or whatever which doesn't need my head-down after short self-training.

But it is not only hardware. I simply want undo feature in infotainment software! It is so irritating when I have ask passenger to take over control when I get lost in menu maze in traffic.
