That case doesn't mean what most people who bring it up want it to mean, particularly as has been interpreted by 100 years of intervening case law. In that case, Henry Ford had more or less admitted that he was attempting to screw over specific shareholders.

As it is applied in modern practice, a corporate officer merely has to articulate a rationale of why his/her actions benefit the shareholders. For example, deciding to double every worker's salary, on the basis that it would improve morale and productivity, could be seen as ultimately benefiting shareholders, even if it tanks profits and dividends in the short-term.

Pretty much the only way you could actually get the Dodge v Ford case invoked in precedent is to have someone on the stand admit that he/she was trying to screw over shareholders (which is basically what Henry Ford did, and why he lost the case), which should be impossible if that person has competent representation.
> Yeah I don't see the online ad business ever adopting something else because it's "as good", I think that browsers should drive this and ensure sites simply don't get this type of information, so the adoption to something better (for consumers) is driven by necessity.

In fact they are, in large part- uranium is shaft mined and electric machinery is massively preferred to combustion for air quality reasons. The dump trucks outside the mine are diesel, but even that is changing[1].

Pretty funny- there are a number of mines where electric dump trucks actually produce energy on net! Anywhere you go down in elevation as you come out of the mine area, the extra weight as you're loaded can power the trip back up.

I've been considering buying a 3D printer lately. I don't have a lot of experience in the domain and I'm not sure where to start, so clearly I'm actively looking about information regarding 3D printers.

What I'm definitely not looking for is ads. Actually I try to avoid anything that might remotely look like one, from official websites (obviously) to comparisons of 3D printers that look like they could be biased one way or an other. Because obviously every company selling 3D printers is going to tell you that theirs is the best you could ever find. Even if they don't outright lie they'll put the emphasis on their strong points while conveniently forgetting to mention the drawbacks.

I really think ads are useless from a consumer perspective. I can believe that there was a time where the best way to reach potential buyers was buying an ad in the newspaper but with the ultra-connected society we're in it's just a waste. Make a great product, send it to a bunch of influential bloggers in the market share you target to review and if it's good the word of mouth will do the rest.

In a society where you can find reviews and recommendations for basically anything online, why on earth would I ever want to see ads? If you need to convince your potential customers that they need your product by spamming them, maybe your product is not that useful in the first place.

Of course the dark side of this is that of course marketing has caught on, now we have "native advertising" and people getting paid to pretend that they like something.
Even so, the fuel isn't shipped in paper bags. It moves inside containers, insider other containers. If you saw it heading down the road on a truck it would be a much larger/heavier object.

I would still not recommend assembling a beachball-sized mass of any sort of uranium. It may not be critical, but you are heading in that direction. The local criticallity officer will not be happy. Even depleted uranium, the stuff once used in bullets, probably shouldn't be so assembled.
I don't think it is solved because any solution needs to be very long term, and having politicians or even much of the population care about the long term is not a solved problem.

Nuclear power gives us far too much ability to borrow from tomorrow to pay for today, same as with coal. That's why it is, in practice even if not in theory, not an adequate solution to our energy demands.
Tough physical labor is not for everyone. For example, I would not last 6 months in a construction job (I easily get colds when I work outside). As long as the majority of people working in that warehouse are ok, then maybe your friend was just not suited for the job.
>the simplest fix is to prevent that from happening (by forcing them to have an abortion

Simple doesn't mean best or even acceptible. The simplest solution for stopping many forms of crime is to institute martial law, yet we do not do so because we view it as an extreme form of oppression and tyranny. I don't see any positive outcome from a government telling people under which circumstances they are allowed to procreate unless we are in dire straights (e.g. massive, world wide, irrecoverable famine. We're not there and we're not going to be there any time soon.)

This is a political statement masquerading as a wikipedia article. You should always take a single article with a grain of salt, whether they are talking about palestine, physics or show business. Entertainment reporting, even in a reputable source, generally doesn't have the same rigor applied as stories about war and politics. You didn't just "learn" something by identifying a single poor article you know a lot about. All articles should be read with some skepticism and multiple sources should be used and chosen carefully. Avoid the VOX and FOX sources and you'll probably have a pretty realistic view of world events. Also, know the difference between the opinion section (and prime-time opinion "news" shows) and the news sections (and news shows).

The federal system here is fairly weak, by design -- and the ideology of that weakness is still prevalent. Making this shift would probably require more arm-twisting and political capital than the federal government can apply even when federalists are in power. There's a latent suspicion of the federal government in the electorate here that is usually pretty easily activated.

I'm also not sure I see the advantage to centralizing this. It's a case of "many hands make light work". There's a lot to do to conduct an election. Breaking the task among lots of basically autonomous units, made up of local individuals instead of some faceless Washington bureaucrats (see, there's that latent suspicion ;) gives some resilience -- and helps voters feel connected to the process.

Also worth noting that although the structures of the various intra-state governments are broadly similar, there's plenty of differences that would be a pain in the neck for a federal administration.

> All we can conclude is that the EU unemployment rate to wage increase function is not the same as the US function

If the difference between the outputs has held steady over time...which I dont think is the case.

Start adding other variables into the equation and I have no doubt you can make it work. I also have little confidence in the predictive power of the resulting functions.

I dont think unemployment is UNRELATED to wages, but it seems obvious that the straightforward econ 101 equation has been broken by some factor. I'd rather see people try to figure out what is really going on than assuming the broken equation must actually be right, we just need to depend on it MORE.

One of the primary tasks of a govt is stability, but the recent US trend has been focused on short term stability over long term.

It's weird that you dismiss "more advanced models that explain the behavior we observe and provide better predictions" as "excuses".

Yes, it's more convenient to argue against a straw man (the most basic formulation of "supply and demand" that doesn't even cover what's taught in introductory economics classes), but it doesn't mean you'll produce valid criticism from it.
> In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read.

Turning the page of a newspaper is often a big deal:

* if you turn from the front page to any other page, the sensationalism of the headlines decreases while the overall quality of the coverage increases. Save for the rare case of actual investigative journalism that starts on the front page.

* if you turn from the op-ed page to a news-bearing page, you're changing from reading bold-faced, unapologetic propaganda to reading news stories.

I think Chomsky either wrote or said that the most effective way to get news from a newspaper is to start from the back and reading to the front.

Anyhow, the Gell-Mann amnesia effect seems not to take any of these truisms into account. (Nor the fact that people who read newspapers and periodicals also have a genre literacy, including foreknowledge of the most reputable reporters, reporters backgrounds, conflicts of interest, etc.)

> There are press sources that go far deeper

I wonder if "deeper" isn't the critical dimension for the facepalms of the Gell-Mann amnesia effect. Perhaps instead it's "cluefullness"? Channeling consensus expertise from a robust professional community. Much long-form journalism is just as cluelessly facepalm-intensive as TV news. Random-person-in-the-field handwaving (Foreign Affairs, or Atlantic), or "cocktail-party consensus" (Economist, or often NYT), seem no less G-M-ish. And in contrast, a brief and "shallow" one-liner might still reflect the correctness and insight of deep and robust community expertise.

You can experience G-M facepalms without your own expertise, by finding forums where some professional community hangs out. So when US Navy ships are colliding, you contrast press coverage with discussion on a professional maritime forum. When a SpaceX-launched satellite fails, you contrast press coverage with a private spaceflight forum, or even /r/spacex. The magnitude of the facepalm signal is very not small.

Some of the more clueful journalists, are embedded in such professional communities. Which suggests a metaphor. As the old press shut down its foreign desks, something was lost. Coverage became less insightful, less nuanced. A reality-check was removed, so facepalms increased. For myself, most journalism, about most topics, about science and technology, economics, governance, and much else... feels like the foreign desk has been closed.

There's still "in-country" trade press, and newsletters. So perhaps there's a market opportunity here? Channeling expertise to a broader audience, without the focus on transient "news" and investigative journalism. Instead of hanging small bits of broken insight upon the "hook" of current events, perhaps make insight the focus?
Agreed. I believe that as companies get bigger, this behavior narrows down to specific orgs in the company. Dev teams and operations teams will each have their own filtered set of personalities too. Even then, I know I am over simplifying.

We have figured out a scheme to use it in a newly created layer of cyberspace between the current public and private networks, thus avoiding the legacy issues. A proposal nicknamed EzIP (phonetic for Easy IPv4) has been submitted to IETF:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-chen-ati-adaptive-ipv4-address-space-03

EzIP can establish stand-alone "sub-Internets", each from one IPv4 public address to serve a region with population up to Tokyo Metro or 75% of the countries on earth. The sub-Internet configuration can realize the CIR (Country-based Internet Registry) model proposed by ITU several years ago, without establishing the CIR organization. If a government is not interested, private enterprises can make use of it to provide "Local Internet" services. Either way, it will be an option for consumers may to choose from for an more open competitive environment.

Thoughts and comments will be much appreciated.

I am not saying that the samples should be very particular for particular situations. They should address a class of actions, like no racism or no sexism. But leaving it open to whatever the maintainer thinks applies is just too much power.

> If you're inclined to do things the project maintainers will consider unacceptable behavior, you're already going to have a problem.

As long as I am not openly abusing someone in the context of the project, the only thing that should matter is my code. The fact whether my political or personal views that I air on some other platform do not match those of the maintainer or some contributor should not matter at all. This CoC opens the gate for exactly this kind of abuse. Infact, it has been used for this kind of abuse. That is why I am hesitant about this.
