"Between 1999 and 2006, Germany’s federal intelligence service BND spied on around 2,000 targets at political institutions, international organizations, banks, companies and weapons producers in Austria, said daily Der Standard and weekly Profil."

"A number of US businesses and government entities were being monitored by the German foreign intelligence agency, according to documents received by the German newspaper Der Spiegel.

Between 1998 and 2006, several White House emails, phone, and fax numbers were reportedly tracked using a set of 4,000 keywords."

You are making a fairly obvious mistake here in conflating timelines. Widespread “state sanctioned monogamy” is a very recent phenomenon but the genetics results you are basing from have to do with very long time frames.

There are loads of plausible ways monogamy arose as a virtue that needn’t have to do with changing that ratio & there are loads of ways that ratio could have come about without societies filled with “angry young men”

This is a fairly obvious set of bad reasoning. Either you’ve not paid much attention or you are arguing in bad faith (likely to further some worldview).

If the differences are insignificant then why are most sports segregated by gender? Why does the entire female FIDE rating distribution sit 200 points lower than the male distribution?

The FIDE gap is not one that can be hand waved away as under-representation or discrimination or anything else. There are clearly differences between genders and races, and sometimes they are clearly significant. Whatever your views may be regarding how society should treat those differences, don't insult your own intelligence by claiming they don't exist.

> It's not either-or. Workers perform the manual labour and such, but management plans, organises and directs.

Both of these things are work, yes. But one is not thousands of times more valuable than the other. The income of the owners is derived from their ownership of the company. Not from the work.

>You know what I mean.

Yes, I know what I mean. But what you mean doesn't actually make sense. Money in politics is a problem, because it gives some people more power over the politics, i.e. how ressources are allocated.

Billionaires who control a similar amount of ressources as a government through ownership aren't any better though. They have just as much power, and they don't even have to go through the trouble of fixing an election for it.
I'm no great devotee of Quillette (I haven't come across an interesting article there for a while), but that's not really a fair characterisation.

It's not "libertarian" in the way Reason magazine is, or "right-wing" in the way that Fox News is.

I think its editors broadly identify as "classical liberals", and they have a stated mission of challenging the "blank-slate" view of human nature.

You can disagree with these positions, but they're legitimate subject areas that reasonable people can discuss, and it deserves better than to be dismissed as you have - even if some of its articles get it wrong, as this one seems to have done.

Ask HN: Why doesn't Tesla raise prices?
Tesla has a hard time producing enough units to fulfill demand.

Tesla has a money problem.

Why not raise their prices?

Say they would raise the average price of Model 3 from $55k to $60k. How low would demand go? 75% of what it is now? 50%? And how would it impact the bottom line? I would assume it would look great. A probably super thin margin would turn into a solid 10% margin.

No, but it'd be easy. You need

1. a request to return org-mode data (or for requests to contain it in a mechanically distinguishable manner, an option if your normal output is org-mode plus some JavaScript that renders the page from org-mode)

2. some Emacs code to populate a buffer with org-mode data extracted from an HTTP request

That's it. Neither of those are technically difficult. Although there's lots of room for improvement, and that's where people might start to get interested. For example, you could develop org-mode as an alternative to Jupyter notebooks.
EU is not really the same as the UK, especially if UK is leaving the EU.

Trumps criticism is against the EU, Trump is a nationalist, something he is scolded for by the left, but everyone wants to forget his nationalism when it fits the argument that he is anti-UK (or any other European country)

And not to mention, Trumps "foe" comment was in regard to trading with EU, not a military conflict.

> Why is the mathematics community being pressured to go even lower quality?

If quality had been the only argument, I'd buy it - but[0]:

- “As a matter of principle,” she wrote, “I support people discussing controversial matters openly … At the same time, I think it’s good to be aware of the effects.”

- “but you should know in advance that many (most?) of us have strong disagreements with what you did.” (not "with the quality of the work", but "with what you did")

- "people who explained that the paper was “bad and harmful”" (there _could_ be a quality argument in there depending on what was meant by "bad", but harmful is not a quality category)

> Put it in the Intelligencer

That's what Hill tried first: "Once we had written up our findings, Sergei and I decided to try for publication in the Mathematical Intelligencer, the ‘Viewpoint’ section of which specifically welcomes articles on contentious topics"[0]

As told by Hill, it wasn't his decision that it didn't end up there.

> But let's try to get actual journals cleaned up.

NYJM only appeared on the scene after the Intelligencer was pressured into not publishing. In NYJM case, probably due to political interest of one of its editors (seeing the edits made), sadly not merely due to "I stand for journals' press freedom".

> My question is, why are we intentionally asking to make it worse?

Because the more reasonable alternative was prevented by others. Even just publishing it in the Intelligencer now would be an option to make the entire situation whole again (apart from the year or so wasted on a messy situation).
After that, ridicule the paper's result all you want in the Intelligencer or any other journal.

In contrast the outcome that seems to be preferred by the paper's opponents, which is "don't dare talk about it", doesn't sound very sciencey to me.

Although gambling is as old as money and can be found all over the world, the phenomenon of Las Vegas is extremely American. In the rest of the world there is 'pecking order' with a hierarchy where everyone knows their place, whether they like it or not. This is useful as there is no pressure to 'become king' as that position is not open to you. You can be relatively happy with your status even if you are 'just' a school dinner lady. Furthermore you can gamble on a regular basis to improve your situation (in your dreams). There are the 'turf accountants' on the High Street or at the actual races. Sports betting also allows for the gambling interest to be masked, you can pretend that you 'love' horses, football or dogs.

Meanwhile, in the land of the free, where the dollar is king, there is some pressure to show you have made it, that you are eligible for the top table. With this pressure comes status anxiety, so you 'have' to make it or die trying. Since you can't just pop in to the 'turf accountant' to waste some money on horses (America lacks bookies), you have to save up and go to Vegas, to live it up whilst you are there. Interesting 'monopoly' Vegas has going on there.

> The income of the owners is derived from their ownership of the company. Not from the work.

The company isn't going to be worth anything unless the founders turn it into something valuable. In that way, the income of the founders is derived from their ability to create value. That's an alignment of incentives if ever I've heard one. Investors derive their income from their ability to gauge risk and value, and allocate resources to founders who will create the most value with them.

> Yes, I know what I mean. But what you mean doesn't actually make sense. Money in politics is a problem, because it gives some people more power over the politics, i.e. how ressources are allocated.

To be honest my preferred solution is to minimise the ties between money and politics in general - the state shouldn't be given free reign to dick around in the economy, but only regulate and redistribute when it can be shown that a specific industry is broken in a specific way (negative externalities, natural monopolies, etc). I don't have a solution to this problem, but I think it would work better than what we have right now. When the state can basically do what it pleases there's a lot more room for backroom deals and loopholes.

> Billionaires who control a similar amount of ressources as a government through ownership aren't any better though.

But they are, because they don't have a military or police force to wield as a weapon against people they don't like. They can still be dicks but they are limited in their ability to harm others. Governments have no such restrictions, and have shown their propensity to use violence over reason on plenty of occasions.
Lessons from Building and Scaling Reddit's Ad Serving Platform with Go

This kind of decentralisation -- taking existing platforms controlled by megacorps and making them P2P...

...feels, to me, like a huge mistake.

How would one eliminate hate speech and toxic content from it? Or illegal content? Or anything you put there and need removed to keep living your life freely? The technologists developing this tech hand-wave these concerns away citing "freedom of speech" -- but one's freedom ends where another's begins, and hate speech, toxic content, illegal content, not being able to have what you said or did forgotten online, all these things curtail someone's freedom.

And by making it decentralised, they're just making it harder for people who are the victims of these problems to hold the people responsible accountable and to stop them. These technologists want freedom of speech at the expense of everyone else's freedom.

It's hard to explain things to laymen, especially in subjects like economics, where everyone thinks they've got a complete understanding of the mechanics after watching a couple YouTube videos.

Just light from distant galaxies? Light is moving at C, so it cannot age because it experiences no time, but it's not always the case.

Light must age, otherwise our infinite Universe, which exists for infinity, will produce infinite^2 amount of light, which is not possible.

Current explanation of light aging is stretching of space in all directions. However, same effect can be explained by local random stretching of space when, for example, virtual pair of quantum particles emerges and then disappears. Casimir effect is pretty strong, which indicates that our space is very bumpy, full of white noise.

Australia is terrified that its war crimes are going to be discovered in the next few years, and therefore there is a push on to make encryption unusable for the general public.

If the general public knew what the ADF were doing, there would be bodies hanging from the flagpoles in Canberra. This move is a direct response to the fear that officials have, of Australians learning the truth about how the ADF is being used to effectively destroy civilisation in the Middle East and around the world.

However, the truth is out there, and it will be known. The clock is ticking for those who have allowed us all to be conned into the lies and trickery of the so-called 5-eyes new world order.
