Amazon factory workers protest over their working conditions. Those who have more secure employment have the ability to protest over more abstract causes. There is nothing new here; many political reformers and revolutionaries have been from middle or upper classes, who possess the financial security and education to opine about high-minded causes. This is Maslow's hierarchy at work here.

How is this relevent to this article?

Your specific claim was that scientists are being recruited from abroad for work on these things, except, they're not ("Except this time, China is hiring for genetic specialists to experiment on Uighur babies in concentration camps").

Trying to shove some other agenda into anything China-related is becoming really dull. You're trying to start some sort of ideological war when we really should be discussing science funding.
While I don't disagree with your broader point, in several states, all assaults on law enforcement officers are felonious.[1], so felonious assault isn't a meaningful statistic (or, at least not separate from lesser assault).

So, police stop you in the street for whatever reason, you brush by them, and bang, you're charged with felony assault.

I think generally, evidence points to the contrary. It's amazing how quickly specific martial arts lose their fighting ability when realistic sparring/fighting is replaced with forms, meditation, light/no contact, etc.

There are an awful lot of people in this very comment thread who would claim to be counterexamples to this. Are you going to say they're all lying or deluded about their own motivations?
When we constantly pound the table and shout that all people are all exactly the same, they often self-identify as oppressed victims, if they look around themselves and see others that are better off than they are.

This is a recipe for societal tension, although it is handy in politics.

Minorities and non-minorities alike, after having been assured that everybody is exactly the same, often feel that they have been cheated in some way. This is sadly often used by politicians to marshal them against their fellow citizens in the next election or referendum.

Carlsen is also temperamental and unorthodox. I really like that about him. He is also a good looking guy who gets girls fawning over him.

For him to answer the press in short Nos is funny.

For him to want to do more games with Fabiano and crush him in rapid is a great and FUN decision.

Obviously he could win that game but he wants to have more fun. And we all have more fun.

Instead of winning and going home he wants to do something new. It’s been a long match w unprecedented draws. Why end it now?

I would have done the same :)

Think about this... comparing it to taking a draw to win the tournament when you could win the game but risk losing - IS SILLY. THAT is cowardly.

Taking a draw when there would be nothing afterwards and you retain the title - that’s cowardly.

This... IS FUN!!

I get an uncomfortable, here goes the radical Left feeling about this whole discussion of "algorithmic bias".

If you give preference to people who pay their bills on time it may turn out that you are giving preference to one sex or one race or one religious tradition over another. In my view that should not be reason for concern.

On the other hand, if you score based on artifacts which can reasonably be understood to be proxies for race or sex (e.g., subscription to a Korean language newspaper or use of hair straightening hair products), then yes that is wrong.

But if we are not careful the whole discussion will devolve into a push for equal outcomes, which many would like but which I think would be unfair.

The biggest reason (for me anyway) to restrict which gcc I use (and stick to the system-provided one) is so I don't need to distribute libstdc++ and libgcc_s with my program.

The RedHat devtoolset was a nice solution to this (use a newer gcc version, but link to the system libraries), but if that isn't available, then building with the system compilers helps in this area.

Rust doesn't have this problem when rust programs are statically linked, but if distros start shipping rust shared libraries which other programs start depending on, and/or some of the rust standard lib ends up in a system shared library, some of the same issues may arise (or maybe not, rust may have solved them in a clever way).

One thing that recently struck me about Brexit was how much it represents a "States Rights" problem.

Apart from the "ever closer union" of the EU (which frankly has to have fiscal union once it has monetary union), Brexit has highlighted the unresolved "states" or kingdoms of the UK - an English majority of voters is driving a decision that every other state chose not to do. We don't have a balancing Senate to defend smaller states (hell we don't have an elected second chamber - in fact we have more unelected members of parliament than we do elected!!)

We do have a need to look at a constitution and upper chamber again - we have a lot of things to sort out whatever happens with brexit

(basically brexit vote was the bit in the awkward family gathering where one person shouts out "i never liked your ex husband" and suddenly all the disagreements come tumbling out.

They may need to do more than demand, they may have to organize a strike. Get more people involved, unionize or not, you're going to have to strike.

That works for some cases, but not where a candidate's parents also went to the same school or where the parents can and do donate a lot to the school. At most of the schools we're discussing, both situations give the student a boost in admission and in passing classes regardless of effort.

(Disclosure: I went to a well-known school, but without either of the parental benefits I just described. My parents helped in other more indirect ways throughout my upbringing, but they didn't come from a wealthy or connected family background.)

If the society you live in today decided to expropriate all of the money and resources owned by a randomly selected 5% of the population, so that 5% of the population was instantly destitute, but then distributed those resources evenly to everyone else, would you consider that society better off, worse off, or pretty much the same as the day before that happened?

Is that really a helpful or meaningful distinction? There are precious few "legitimate" purchases you can make using BTC, and basically all of them have the vendor just turning around and buying a fiat currency with your BTC. So there's no "bitcoin economy", there's just people buying it for extremely short periods for the purposes of purchasing drugs online or paying hacker ransoms, and people receiving it and then immediately disposing of it in favour of state-backed currencies.

The only players holding BTC are speculating.

Given this usage pattern, are we really going to argue that all this walking and quacking doesn't make it a duck?

Same for me. In weeks 1-2 I usually know what I want to do, and instead of doing it, I pick up a bad habit. Like obsessive news-reading. In weeks 2-3 I usually give up, and suddenly the bad habit is gone and I'm productive doing some great other thing instead.

7 Things We Did to Double Our SaaS Paid Subscriptions Last Year
I live in Sweden and it is much quicker. I just transferred some money between my bank and Avanza which is one of the largest stock trading sites in Sweden. You have two options:

1. "Direct deposit", all largest banks in Sweden support it and that means that the money is transferred real time. That service is open between 7am and 11pm at Avanza.

2. Normal bank transfer and that takes one day in Sweden.

Source in Swedish but you could translate it: https://www.avanza.se/kundservice.html/281/vad-ar-direktinsa...

Avanza does not have a limit on how much money you can transfer but your bank might have, in that case you might have to rise that limit if you want to transfer a lot.

I don't know if it takes a day or two or clear (or more) if I buy from China but from my perspective it is usually an incredibly smooth checkout and I will get my stuff x amount of weeks later if I'm cheap with transport costs.
if anything, torrents / ipfs lend themselves naturally to the way human culture was always disemminated: if something is popular and lasting, it was passed on for generations, some trivial stuff that literally nobody cares about was naturally lost. Since we can't expect the huge amounts of data created every day to be archived forever, this is a very natural way to keep only the most interesting parts.
You'd be surprised.

"A new meta-analysis blends the results of 28 studies that all took measures to mitigate this problem. Based on data from more than 600,000 participants, all told, psychologists Stuart Ritchie and Elliot Tucker-Drob have arrived at a rough estimate of how much an added year of education lifted participants’ IQ scores, on average: between 1 and 5 points."

"The new report does reaffirm the conclusion of psychologists that intelligence—despite being heavily influenced by genetics—is subject to change. The public may not yet be on the same page, according to Ritchie, despite previous research reviews in tune with his paper. “I think the idea that IQ is completely set in stone is still hanging around,” he says. “I think, in this case, we have some of the strongest evidence that it’s not.”"
Now if only the CO2 emissions went down while the price of electricity went up, this could be a success story.
I mean, off topic, but it's not like any (citation needed) of the ideas in Black Mirror are original; it repackages existing ideas and tropes in a modern context. It does an excellent job of that, but it's a bit disingenuous to use it as the golden standard for whacky scifi prophecies.

There's already a huge problem with police protecting their own when a cop injures, rapes or kills an innocent person.

Their point about police training seems quite valid (page 5).

While there is federal assistance for police departments to buy military surplus equipment, there's very little assistance (outside of anti-terrorist funding) for improved and lengthened general training (e.g. de-escalation of force, averting the need for force, etc).

This results in some states and cities having well trained professional police, whereas others receive minimum training and are then expected to learn "on the job." For example California police officers are now receiving better training on handling the mentally ill, something a rural police officer in another state is unlikely to receive.

This is both unfair to the public and police officers alike. Unfortunately getting people to pay for things can be challenging.

Depends if you are helped or hurt by this view. There are people who are discriminated due to no fault of their own over factors they cannot control. And not every bias is called out or even something we are socially cognizant of. If one previously benefited from this it can be worrisome but for others this will be a boon.

>simply strip humans of their humanity

What is humanity? Not in ideal, in actuality? Do beautiful people have more humanity than ugly people? The Hale Effect says that they do. When called out on it we will say that is not the case, but in our every day actions that is how we work. Mechanized equalization will be a benefit for those who have already been assigned as having less humanity for no fault of their own.
Failed because this kind of thing is always done for feminism. It's not done to get closer to a meritocracy.
There should never have been a referendum, without a party in power having a policy to leave.

The big problem we have is that Brexit was not the policy of any political party, so who is responsible for implementing it? May is our legal, rightful Prime Minister selected by due process, but she was a remainer.

The only right way to do this would be for the people to elect a party with implementing brexit as policy, and have a referendum to ratify the decision. That’s how we got in and that’s how we should have left. What we got instead was a muddled tangle of lack of responsibility, recrimination and disagreement of what brexit even is.

To this day nobody on the brexit side has ever put forward a clear, comprehensive plan for how to implement brexit. All we get is platitudes about a European Singapore, vague half-ideas like magical goods tracking systems that don’t exist, and red lines of what they won’t accept. No real credible plan of how to actually do it, because it’s never actually been anybody’s policy. May’s is the only plan on the table. Everybody else won’t shut up, but won’t put up either.
