These are anecdotes from Waterloo in Canada, but my two recent voluntary interactions with law enforcement were both neutral-to-negative:

First was stopping to ask a cop idling in a parking lot if they'd considered more enforcement of the new yield-to-pedestrians law at a nearby intersection/roundabout. Cars consistently run through the pedestrian crosswalks while people are in them (I have many videos of this), which is supposed to be a $1000 fine, but I've never seen any enforcement of it, or heard of anyone getting such a ticket. She basically said that they don't have time for that and would need more funding to be able to do proactive enforcement. Although she was polite and took the time to speak to me, I was disappointed at the lack of interest in something I see as a critical issue impacting safety and walkability in the community.

Second was a case where I'd witnessed what looked like a bike theft in progress at the side of the road, and then a moment later realised there was a police car half a block behind me. I pulled over and waved vigorously to flag him down, but I believe he was looking at his console (it's not clear in the video due to windshield glare) and cruised by without stopping. Either that or he saw and ignored me, which is probably worse.

Obviously both were fine in the sense that I wasn't yelled at or shot, but neither experience gave me warm fuzzies either.

I can verify that as the correct translation and people in fact do use "kung fu" to mean a skill or an art you achieve through practice. In the part of China where my family is from, people do say "have no kung fu" to mean some practitioner is bad at what he or she does.
Indeed, and I agree. I've tried to be careful from assuming specific norms, trying to think through the positive/observational aspects instead.

Applying the selection quota to the hiring pool that passes skills would get around the "quota-implies-less-skilled" issue.
It's not like Bitfinex has ever allowed anyone to cash out their USDT for USD (despite claims to the contrary) so maybe this is just them coming clean about that fact?

YMMV, but:

My previous employer told me part time w/ benefits was impossible. When I found a new job that offered part time w/ benefits, my previous employer made me a counter-offer: part time w/ benefits.
this is some really weak reasoning, lol. it most likely has many causes. as others have said elsewhere, it impacts rural uncultivated areas like rainforests as well
What is your view on Typo3? I've been using it for a few months now and although it has some issues (no "themes" or "plugins", only extensions), some confusing ways around setting global constants and templates, and some major inconsistencies surrounding the "proper" "current" way to do things I generally find it a very extensive, powerful and expansive CMS
Those studied in this article were all white.
I want to continue this conversation because it is actually of interest to me, and you seem equally as passionate.

Let's find some common ground first. I get really annoyed when I am domain hunting for a service/app idea and the domain is not in use, has never been (from what I can tell) and has a huge 'BUY THIS DOMAIN' banner waving about. So then it's up to me to determine how badly I want it, and if I want to participate in the ecosystem that is domain name resale. I think we can agree on that.

I don't, however feel like I'm entitled to it just because I may have a better use case for the domain. At risk of being too analogous, I'll take the example x.com. I would love to own x.com and I believe my business 'X Industries' would greatly benefit from having it, and a room full of people could probably agree that my use case would be better than what the domain has served for most of it's life (a 200HTTP status and an 'x'). What is the solution?

Is stricter domain regulation the key? And if so, how do we backstep that to the creation of DNS and domain registration? On top of that, who enforces it? The US, or some other neutral entity? I think you know where I'm going here. I guess rather than saying collecting/squatting/holding is bad, and people are entitled to domains they can put to use, what do you imagine in the perfect domain market?

You also mention 'online version of a real-life identity'. Do you imagine this extends to account handles on Twitter, Instagram, et al? If I own username.com, and someone else owns @username, is that similarly an issue?
Agree, I also worked under ITAR restrictions in the launch industry.
Yes, but I can loose all my Bitcoin pretty easy if I lack security or if I trust someone else to hold my money and they get hacked or do an exit scam.

I feel that that scenario is much more likely than the collapse of my country and bank.

Because of the possibility of a foreigner accessing sensitive information pertaining to the US space program.
I am confident that most scientists would never want to work on any of the projects you've mentioned nor could China lure people in to work on such things.

Instead, just the fact that one day China might be the first destination for young talent instead of the US will be enough to give them the edge in their fight for superiority. Whatever the case humanity will see at least some benefit from these type of competitions.
Like any monoculture, markets based on a monopoly are brittle.

It takes time for courts to process complaints or for new companies to get started; if the only entity serving a market changes its behavior for any reason, it can shock the entire system and do great harm while our correction mechanisms work to alleviate the problem.

You see this in the job market all the time: a local factory closes and puts everyone in town out of work.
If I were writing a small blog today, I would probably still go with Rust, just for the robustness. Catching bugs at compile time is so much nicer no matter how good your unit test coverage is (and especially when coverage is not great).

Performance is great, but the breadth of usage enabled by the small run-time (including no GC) makes it more exciting.

> Certain EU Nations want to prevent fat right nationalist radicalization via censorship

But why don’t they apply the same censorship to the far left? That’s where I have my problem with it, it isn’t to protect the people from the far right, it’s to control public discourse in a way that reinforces their leftist ideology. The Communist Party isn’t censored in Europe, but right-wing groups are. You can celebrate Stalin, but would be arrested for celebrating Hilter. How is that any different than Chinese censorship? Maybe degree, but definitely not intent.

New software developers has a problem, you need support
It was tried in France without great success. The law was passed in 2006 but the application decree (which states how/when the law comes into effect) was never published. Consequently, this law was never upheld. Why? Field trials between 2006 and 2009 showed it didn't have a measurable effect and in some cases ended up discriminating more. The experiments' results are controversial (small sample size) but despite pushes in 2011 and 2014 the law seems effectively dead in the water.

Anecdotally, I've been on the recruiting end of "anonimized" CVs pushed by outsourcing companies. I was never fully clear on whether this was a legal requirements for them, or if it was a gesture to show inclusiveness and social responsibility on their part (take this with a pinch of salt, most outsourcing companies in France are little better than horse-dealers and will push any warm body your way if they think they can turn a profit). At any rate, most of these were hilariously badly done: using initials for the last name but leaving the first name in full, leaving telling initials (1), or other subtle or less subtle ways to hint at the contractor's origin and gender.

(1) e.g. a first name initialed J.L., J.M. or some other variation points to a Jean-something (Jean-Louis, Jean-Michel, etc.) composite first name, which is a clear indication of a "native" Frenchman (and a hint as to the person's age as well)
Thanks, saved me a click.
> The UK regaining sovereignty over territorial waters for fishing purposes. These waters have been heavily overfished and the tragedy of the commons has definitely applied here. Ironically when the EC was originally formed the UK refused to join. Had they done so they would've maintained sovereignty over territorial waters. When they later joined they didn't.

I don't think this is going to happen at all. Most fish landed in the UK are exported to the EU. Kicking out their fisherman and then selling them the fish sounds like a very unlikely outcome to me. Macron has already flagged this

That's more than enough reason not to deploy them.

It changes "we're here to serve and protect" to "we will crush you if you step out of line".

Well, speaking of "nuclear scientists", only one country has dropped nuclear bombs on civilians, and it wasn't China.

> does it seem like the more we study the universe the more discrete it becomes

the continuity has been a wonderful tool for the last 4 centuries since its development. It is kind of not surprising that such a convenient (and simple in many senses) model starts to show it limitations when stretched to and beyond the edges. It wouldn't the first nor the last time that what we see as edges happens to be horizons of the new deeper levels of science.

>using an axiomatically discrete number system

we've been there. I think the next step is what is popularly known and manifests itself as fractals - i.e. the p-adic numbers calculus/geometry/etc seems to be an entry point into the post-continuous world where things look continuous at some scales/aspects as well as discrete at another scales/aspects.
Neat idea. Where did you source the poems from?
I think that 'artificial intelligence' being used as a curtain for the Ozs of the world to hide behind is a much greater threat than either of these things.
I guess the reasons could depend on many factors. However, my past experience with employers is that they wanted to participate in hackathons and community meetups in order to 1) stay up-to-date with what is new, 2) cultivate a relationship with people that are passionate about building, 3) give back to the community from which they derive benefit, 4) make space for ingenuity and creative thinking, and 5) Recruit/collaborate with the best candidates and companies.

While it is true that many of the projects that result from a hackathon are not going into production, in my opinion the learning of new tech, the exercise in fast-paced collaboration, and the fun factor of building obsurd things and sparking creativity do have a value that a company shouldn't shut the door on.

My guess is that it is already here, just for things we deem acceptable. The problem with censorship is that everyone has something they think acceptable to censor, so the infrastructure to censor will be developed with mass approval.
Five Big Ways the US Will Need to Adapt to Climate Change
I don't think you're very informed on the current state of IQ research (which is totally fine, not many people are, it's a very taboo subject). Perhaps you would gain from reading a bit on the subject (wikipedia has good articles on IQ). But I'll try to address your points.

>I reject the premise: I don't think it is possible to predict intelligence accurately from DNA. While some degree of intelligence is heritable, perhaps even a substantial degree, environmental factors still play a big role in intelligence. A poor prenatal environment, malnutrition, toxins like lead, and disease all negatively impact intelligence, none of which you could measure or account for from just DNA

That's true, but the degree of heritability here is important. If intelligence was 10 percent heritable, then I would agree that trying to predict intelligence from DNA would be an absurd endeavor since most of the variance in intelligence would be caused by environmental factors.

But in fact, most recent studies converge towards the fact that IQ is 80 percent heritable. This leaves a lot of wiggle room for the 20 percent of environmental factors to either increase or decrease this genetic component, but I think you really overestimate the effect of environmental factors. Intelligence is predominantly determined by genes, with the environment having mild influences. In the USA they are especially mild since most children thankfully do not grow up starving or suffering from tropical parasites.

>Then I would say to allocate the money to provide the best net increase in intelligence

You can't influence intelligence through education. Study after study has shown that effect of education on adult IQ is exactly zero. The point would not be to increase a kid's intelligence, but rather to identify kids with potential and transfer them to an environment where they could flourish.

>Though I think you'll find that, if the goal is improving the intelligence of the average population, putting funds into prenatal care and lead abatement programs will probably have the same impact for a lot less money than college scholarships.

Oh definitely, my hypothetical scenario would not increase the average intelligence in the least, that was not the point of it. I agree that prenatal care and policies for a clean environment would probably raise the general intelligence.
I understand the sentiment here but can we shut up about it for five seconds? As a guy I feel like I'm walking on eggshells every time I'm around women after reading enough of these.

I feel like I'm going insane.
Hong Kong, Macao and Singapore have developed under their respective trade regimes. Britain has developed under another and has huge industries employing millions of people dependent on the current trade regime.

Switching to a different model in a controlled way has a reasonable chance to be beneficial in the long run. Switching off the conditions under which the current system operates would be guaranteed to be catastrophic immediately.
> Anyone choosing to identify as the opposite of their biological gender will be discriminated against.

Discrimination is when you treat someone unfairly for no good reason, or for a bad reason.

Excluding trans women from competing in women sports where being a trans woman carries a significant advantage is not unfair, quite the opposite, it would be unfair for all the cis women who are competing. Therefore it is simply not discrimination.

You are the one insisting that sports organizations somehow must use legal gender as the basis for dividing their teams by gender, that is simply not the case. It's a nice default, but any organization has to be free to do whatever they themselves want.

> And if gender ceases to be mostly-immutable and ceases to have stable legal meaning, how do you conduct a legal proceeding accusing someone of discrimination based on gender?

> What is it that you hope to accomplish?

Gender identity is very important to most people, and if your society has legal genders, people who are legally misgendered will be deeply unhappy. Therefore, these people have to be allowed to change their legal gender, or opt out of having a legal gender altogether, if they feel that's the better option.

Your argument against this is that it would be "messy" from a legal standpoint, but the harsh reality is that nature is simply messy, and we have to be flexible enough to deal with that. If current discrimination laws can't deal with trans or intersex cases, then we should of course update the laws so that they can deal with those cases in a fair manner. I don't know exactly how, but I'm sure we as a society can figure something out.

> What you said, doing away with compulsory or immutable gender labelling, would do away with any (government or gov't-regulated, which encompasses quite a lot) attempt to identify anyone as anything

True, that's not a straw-man, it's a gigantic soaped-up friction-less lubricated slippery slope. In the same way that same-sex marriage didn't lead to people marrying their dogs, getting rid of legal gender won't destroy Women's Volleyball, I promise you.

NASA telescopes used to be governed by ITAR. They've relaxed those a lot, but you had to use software to transmit the data encrypted all the way to your science pipelines (e.g. Telescope to White Sands to Goddard to $INSTITUTION)
I was actually thinking of growth as in "professional growth" - getting promoted faster, having a chance to learn more skills, doing things you wouldn't be able to do. I was thinking of the equity growth in terms of "pay more".
Right, I didn't mean to imply otherwise - but I can see how what I wrote could come off that way.

One vCPU is a single hardware thread, which means that on cores without SMT, one vCPU == one core.

Since the A72 doesn't have SMT, you get one core per vCPU. So in that sense, you are getting more bang for your buck if you just count physical cores: twice as many cores per vCPU...

FWIW, I tried to look up the ECU rating of the new ARM instances but they are listed as "NA" in the EC2 console.
Right? I'm surprised at how many of the comments here seem to be about using AWS for hobby-scale stuff... I keep a Digital Ocean VPS for my personal website and OpenVPN AS and stuff like that, but anything I'm deploying for work on AWS is... either totally transient (I just need compute and enough working space to store the code I'm executing) or critically important (local storage is not sufficient, I need redundancy and shared state and lots of 9s). I can't think of many commercial use cases outside of prototypes where you'd want a bundle of compute + storage all on the same hardware.

Its like we stopped the "cattle vs pets" metaphor a bit early and some people are mad that a butcher is selling steak instead of a whole cow.

(And just for the record, my team has pretty minimal AWS usage... we're not one of the cloud kool-aid shops. We buy overflow worker server capacity on EC2 spot instances, but our primary app stack runs completely on colo'd bare metal for our day to day operations. Even on our bare metal though... individual app/worker servers are disposable and persistence is provided elsewhere)
> Classical liberalism uses the assumed equality of all people to argue that the people are capable of and ought to engage in self rule.

"Equality" in the sense of equal rights, yes. Not in the sense of equal capabilities. Classical liberalism, as exemplified in documents like the Declaration of Independence, was based on the idea that, even though people have differences in ability, those differences do not give any person a right to rule over any other person. That's where the justification for "self rule" comes from.

Since this reasoning already recognizes that people have differences in ability, "science" showing that people have differences in ability (did we really need "science" to tell us this? isn't it obvious?) does not invalidate the reasoning at all.
Since they're asking for FCC license info and there isn't a canonical Norad ID to frequency source, I assume the Norad info is just for tracking, Doppler, and scheduling of passes.

I remember reading about 147M$ bitcoin transfer (~195k BTC, would be much more today). [1] As the reference says:

"On the bitcointalk forums, some users were less interested in the owners’ identity and more impressed by the infrastructure that allowed such an amount to be transferred without any regulatory hindrance, lawyers, or fees (the user paid no transaction fee at all). Even handing over that amount in hard cash would be a logistical challenge."

While they're at it, why not protest the NSA dragnet? Somehow being compliant with China is terrible but monitoring millions of Americans through their searches doesn’t call for any action?
when their physical needs

While all basic physical needs are certainly met in the developed world, it's questionable if most people's (or at least most men's) sexual needs (which could be classified as physical) are fully met.

It's difficult sometimes to shake off the feeling that some status competition is sexual competition that dare not speak its name.

Honestly though. I feel like I'm seeing so much grifting these days, from stuff like this, to people charging for faux-lifestyle courses, to (ahem) crypto speculators, plus a bunch of stuff from public figures and politicians. I'm sure a lot of it is not new, but it does make you wonder what the point is.
No, firing people is more expensive than rejecting them. And a lot of bias happening in the recruiting process are unconscious. So anonymous recruiting would prevent a lot those unconscious bias in the hiring process.
