By the same token, maybe the automobile and oil industry really care a lot about the environment, but the only way to produce a safe, affordable and performing car is their tech savvy way refined for a century.

Or maybe they just don't give a shit, and the current status quo allows them to make money without caring about the consequences, until we as an informed community demand a better way.

Have you considered the new Matebook X Pro (Huawei)?

I'd been contemplating XPS vs X1 for a number of years, but this one came along with it's 3:2 display! and it seems to support linux out of the box according to everyone whos tried it so far[1]. It's obviously more of an XPS/macbook contender because it's in the ultrathin category not ultrafast, but the screen... the screeeeeen! I want vertical space.

If you can afford it, fly first class. I don't have a fear of flying at all, but I get anxious from the crap that accompanies it: the rush through security to the gate, the cramped aisles during boarding, being thirsty and having to wait a long time for a drink or to use the bathroom. Buying a first class ticket takes care of almost all of this. I usually have to spend a couple of hundred extra on my own dime on top of the coach price that my employer pays for but it's worth it. I get to my destination relaxed, having spent the four hours stretched out, working on my laptop and sipping on a glass of scotch.

There’s a lot of things wrong where I live (The USA), including guantanamo bay, invasion of Iraq. I may not support any of those things, but I still contribute to taxes and function in society. Choosing to freeze oneself is entirely impractical, even if some parts of one’s society is immoral.

That being said, the ethics you mention is not universal. The social credit system may be controversial, but generally a detached western viewpoint is hardly one who can speak to the morality of it on behalf of Chinese people. The only thing objectively inmoral is imposing one’s own moral standards and viewpoints on others.
They should police, because they are already in the business of censorship and amplification via the newsfeed product.

This entire problem would be minimized if newsfeed didn't rank posts due to engagement. Its easier for trolls to get engagement on polarizing and harmful posts, because they generate stronger user emotions.

IMO, this criticism of "policing" is a bullshit straw man argument, which neglects how the product actually works, and why we even have this problem in the first place.

There are probably quite some private storages of old sources. For example I really like to see the restricted libary/archiv of the Vatikan etc.

Or more likely to find out some shocking previously unknown heresy of some saints/popes I did not know anyway.

But more seriously, I think it is unlikely to find a sealed old libary somewhere, which was never mentioned anywhere. The best you can hope for are new scrolla here and there to maybe get new texts of Heraklit or alike, but that would be something. The detailed history of the cultures I am more interested at the moment, celtic druids for example, did not write down their knowledge. So it is unlikely that anything shows up in that regard.

You could say the same about the DNC server, which in 2016, the FBI claimed had not been provided to them for forensics.

The one firm who did have direct access was CrowdStrike, whose report had a couple inaccuracies, and whose CTO, Dmitri Alperovitch, isn't impartial either. Firstly, the claim about the APT controlling Ukrainian artillery equipment was disproven. Secondly, they cited an outdated Ukranian Wordpress vulnerability as attribution evidence, which did not hold up under scrutiny. These are the forensics they gave to the FBI.

Naturally, mid-July The Daily Beast, owned by a company chaired by Chelsea Clinton, breaks a story in response to Trump's comments at Helinski, with a piece about the DNC server's virtual image being given to the FBI - something that the FBI did not comment on and also is in contradiction with the FBI's claim from 2016.

'' Providing details Tuesday to the Senate intelligence committee about the bureau’s investigation into Russian hacks targeting the election, Mr. Comey said the FBI made “multiple requests” for access, but ultimately a private company was the one to conduct the forensic review and then shared details about what it found with investigators.

“It’s not the way we would prefer to do the investigation,” Mr. Comey said. ''

Advanced LIDAR requires some less-used semiconductor fab technologies, like indium gallium arsenide. So you can't just send an order into a commercial CMOS fab like TMSC. Continental bought Advanced Scientific Concepts, which had semiconductor physics PhDs figuring out how to do this. The devices work fine, but early models were for DoD and space applications (the Dragon spacecraft has one), built by hand, and priced accordingly.

I'm not going to be crazy enough to say that there will never be anything bigger than the phone, but can you see anything that any company can do in the next five years that is more ubiquitous than the smart phone?

75% of the world's population has a cell phone (https://www.rferl.org/a/report-says-75-percent-of-worlds-pop...). No matter what any consumer electronic company introduces in the next 5-10 years, I doubt that it will have more impact than the consumer smart phone trend the iPhone started.

What company has been innovative in the consumer electronic space in the past decade? No matter what Apple does, I don't realistically see Apple or any other company introducing a consumer electronic product that is as successful (revenue wise) in the next decade.
You're slicing the expense on a different axis than he is. Stipulate any amount of overhead and overpricing due to a given health care regime (fully public and managed like the VA, public/private like Medicare, private insurance, whatever). Within that regime, a very small percentage of health care consumers will make up a disproportionate amount of the expense. It doesn't matter how you fund it or how efficiently you deliver it, because the disparity is on the demand side. 5% of BCBS TN's customers made up over 75% of their total expense!

Those customers are perfectly capable of moving. Many of them are simply chronically ill, with things like kidney disease. But anyone who's been on a plane in the US lately can tell you that the elderly have no trouble getting around, either.
> If government pensions pay out more at retirement than the median worker makes while working, would you agree that under socialism this would be considered unfair to the worker, and overly exploitative for the pensioner?

No, because, firstly, this isn't true. The government simply has started to pay less. From any individual's perspective, I assure you they don't earn more in retirement than when they were working. If you have heard differently, I assure you that's propaganda.

Secondly, I would simply say that current government employees have the right to be paid the same as their predecessors. Lowering pensions ? No way I'd agree to that as a socialist. No way in hell. But you should raise the conditions for government employees.

One thing you should do, is install dillo, and enjoy the web. It's usually faster than elinks, chrome whatever. Sure you'll get horrendous css rendering, no javascript. Still, it's worth seeing in person how instant a click / request / render can be. Also 10 tabs in dillo is probably 2MB.

# tech momentum

There were logical reasons to what we're in today. I was in there too at first. I wanted hyper dynamic webpages, more capable css, more live scriptability. But along the way I started to feel the unintended consequences. long loading, idiotic user interactions, regression in basic ergonomics, huge resource consumption, and worst of all, the twist it put on webpage producers. Open a 2000 webpage you'll see 20% chrome, 80% content. Now on average it's the opposite, not really 80/20, more like 50/20 with a bonus 30% popups (gdpr, cookies, newsletters, ads). Tech didn't provide value, it's root for pollution.

# societal re-rooting

old web was a side game, people got into it for the thrill of it, it gave a lot of interesting subtle and dense content. Now it's all business trying to live in the web era, it's a competition thing, with all that it entails. The web today looks like main street. Neon signs, noise, .. ugh.

also with real-time social platforms you see how most websites are low value, and reactive. It's changed a bit, people noticed that there was a need for less shallow, but it seems rare. Although to be honest I stopped monitoring if there was more of them today.

I agree with people comparing a website today with other kinds of texts. I feel super void when I read most of the web, and usually, a .txt file is a high guarantee that I'll find something more personal or technical than anything on the web. And it's near free. If the web was caring about communicating, we'd just have to extend SMS to 640kB with a streaming protocol in case you're reading wikipedia.

If the argument is "nobody will do anything about it because nobody cares," isn't the best response"then start caring!"

I'll see if I can find some old articles I used to love about how something called something along the lines of "concerned Christians of America" basically determined what could be on television for ages because they maintained a letter-writing force of a mere five thousand people. Nobody else was kicking up that level of shit storm, so the networks listened to them.

Out of the blue. I am very careful about what I sign up for, I don’t have a car nor can I find any previous emails from the person involved (going back ten years). There’s no chance I signed up to a mailing list for a car accessory — and just in case I had somehow subscribed (maybe through another product they offer) I asked how they got my email address and they didn’t respond which is a tell tale sign of a spammer. My email address was included in a database leak from Kickstarter in 2014, so I am almost certain they have been spamming everybody from the Kickstarter database leak.

I developed a fear of flying about 10 years ago because of a similar incident and lost it only a few years ago.

I'm a big plane buff so my problem used to be that I knew just enough to scare me - in my opinion, being rational rarely helps matters when you're in the moment. With that said, you should be aware of a few things.

1) Turbulence isn't dangerous to an aircraft. Very extreme turbulence is part of the design process of all aircraft - they test the airframe so that the wings can bend almost 30 degrees!

2) Even when going through turbulent air, the plane is not moving a significant amount compared to the height you are flying at. Very extreme turbulence might push you up or down several feet. You're traveling 30,000ft + above the ground. As long as you keep your seatbelt on you should be perfectly fine.

However, there are some things you can do to ameliorate these concerns when you're booking travel.

1) Fly on larger, more stable aircraft. Prefer A32X's, 737's and up over commuter jets or turboprops.

2) Pick seats near the wing. Generally turbulence is less well felt near the wings of the aircraft compared to the back or the front.

While I think we can only speculate on exactly what Waymo is doing, in general driverless taxis should be able to be operated for even less per mile than it would cost if you purchased a vehicle yourself. The reason is economies of scale along with the potential for vertical integration. There are pretty big margins in most things related to vehicles from parts to maintenance to repairs. Economy of scale can bring those much closer to 0, and vertical integration can bring them literally to 0.

This is why I think driverless taxis will be much bigger than many people expect, but also why this industry is going to get monopolized like none other. Bigger players will be able to get taxis to you faster, offer them cheaper, and still show bigger profit margins than smaller players. And without scaling labor costs... whoever wins this industry is going to be making a completely ridiculous amount of money. Consider that in 2016 3.2 trillion miles were driven in the US alone. 10% of those miles is 320 billion. A profit margin of a nickle above operating costs is a net of $16 billion. That's at operating on a nickle per mile, with 10% of 2016's mileage, in a single country.

On the other hand I expect all the players will realize this, so we should see and benefit from some insane competition as long as the market remains relatively free.
