This is such an inaccurate statement that I'm tempted to joke about it being fake news.

This report is about as serious as it gets in terms of professional investigations. There's almost 100 pieces of written evidence and they called a number of witnesses to give primary evidence (famously including Zuckerberg who refused to show up). Where they have referred to the NYT, it is properly cited in the footnotes. Eight of the 349 footnotes refer to the NYT. Care to retract your accusation of laziness?

It largely is, in the UK. Certainly by American standards of "free speech". There's one huge exception: Facebook adverts were unregulated...
There is some debate about this. Cells live for about 7 years, so after that the fat cells should also dissapear.

I know it's obvious. The point is that some tens of HCSEC staff (mostly Huawei employees) thoroughly "vetting" tens of millions of lines of Huawei code for backdoors would prove nothing, even if it wasn't ludicrous, which it is.
The problem with big hairy political words like "empire" is that meaningless semantics take over.

From our perspective, in the post-colonial era, the term "empire" and "colonisation" are just inherently negative terms. The defining qualities (this article explicitly makes this argument) of empire are considered to be slavery, reservation systems and such. In some sense, empire can just mean "bad" and bad can be proof or empire.

The postcolonial age is also the natiolist age, where nation states are the basis of the political system. That makes imperialism's defining quality "the subjegation of nations" because it denies nations ultimate authority.

Marx associated empire with capitalism (surprise surprise), using the term "international capitalism" interchangeably with empire. Considering history, this has some logic to it. For example, the Royal Britsh East India Trading Company colonized India. The crown later confiscated it. 18th and 19th century empires were about controling trade, whether by a king, legal monopoly or otherwise.

The article plays with a mundane territorial definition. Ff you control "overseas" land...

All interesting discussion topics, but also a problem.

"Is X an Empire" just depends on the definition. It's not a meaningful question in itself. Just because you conclude that "yes, it is" doesn't mean anything.

I’m quite capable of dealing with the mental breaks and prefer an editor that can save me some typing. The only improvement for me would be able to say “switch statement (3 cases, no default)”

swi<TAB>

switch <cursor> {

case <tab location>:

<tab location>

default:

<tab location>

}

Actually, if I could say “switch on enum X” then have all cases generated, that would be a huge productivity gain.
Cliches are inherently bad -- it's part of their definition "a phrase or opinion that is overused and betrays a lack of original thought".

Cliches are not just "things many people have/do in common". They are things "people have/do in common mindlessly and in bad taste".

Tons of people travel for example, but traveling is not a cliche in itself. There are however, several types of cliche tourists.

The recent study "heavily pushed by the likes of the Guardian" (sic) refers to an entirely different meta study[1] of 73 global reports. No mention of or link to the older study you cite.

The meta study concludes intensive agriculture is the main driver of the declines, particularly the heavy use of pesticides. Urbanisation and climate change are also significant factors. So the failure or otherwise of the temperature record in a single location is mostly irrelevant to their findings. If it is even included in the analysis at all.

What a delightful illustration for a thread on disinformation and fake news.

Not GP, but I, too find it suspicious that e.g. Cisco, I direct competitor to Huawei, gets caught with yet another new backdoor almost monthly[1], and apparently the US administration has no qualms with buying Cisco hardware or with Cisco continuing to sell unsecure hardware worldwide.

Not only that, Boeing and Airbus also heavily benefit from the R&D done at other companies. Add in generous subsidies from their parent government and you have a very attractive commercial offering, certainly.

Actually it does. The only lawful base for processing in this case is legitimate interest. The working paper (WP251) specifically states "it would be difficult for controllers to justify using legitimate interests as a lawful basis for intrusive profiling". Regarding the "manifestly made public" I was under the impression that a laymans twitter feed with 10 followers would not fall under "manifestly made public". As soon as the profiling starts inferring from data (say homosexuality) you definitively go off the rails.

I do have some professional exposure to GDPR and the way compliance lawyers treat GDPR, profiling etc. So if I'm really of the charts, please point it out, but these firms behaviour would be behaviour I would warn against internally. I wouldn't touch externally built profiles with a 10ft pole.
I suspect the U.S. government prefers "these guys might suck, but at least they're our guys" as a threat model when the alternative is essentially a state-owned enterprise taking orders from one of America's largest geopolitical foes.

"Using vim with dvorak is a real pain."

That is not my experience, at all.

Then again, I don't use Vim like notepad with "hjkl" instead of arrow keys... All the powerful movement and editing commands (b, w, $, 0, /foo, *, #, %, cw, dd, ^], ^t, cib, ., etc.) work just as well with dvorak as with qwerty.

Because people aren't perfect, I am heavily opposed to the idea of creating an authoritative institution with the task of defining truth.

Having that wouldn't magically solve the problem of climate change, this is a stupendous stupid straw man argument. On the contrary, the lack of trust would increase the number of people being more skeptical in self defense.

The status quo isn't reinforced if people are free to create and share content unrestricted. Again to the contrary, an institution defining truth tends to reinforce prevailing powers. Obviously and evidence for that is numerous.

I've been living in Thailand for a while now and the market is so unregulated and abused by these sorts of deals.

A big super market near my house runs 2for1 buns every day for the past year.

I've got desensitised to the point where I don't even see the "original price" anymore. The deal price is just the real and only price.
The only real deals are the "almost expiring" price reductions super markets put out before throwing out old food.

I wonder if in the grand scale of things this abuse backfires or I'm just a rare case as a foreigner.

Actually, that's how the return key originally was on the PC/XT model F keyboard, except that it was only 1 unit wide on both rows. It actually changed in the opposite direction with the PC/AT, and largely only on the U.S. variants if memory serves. The non-U.S. variants retain the PC/XT's original double-row return key, and make it wider (and make the keys next to it narrower, down to 1 unit).

> The question is why these minimalist tendencies exist?

For me, minimalism is not a starting point, but a destination that I've arrived by a long, sometimes hard inner journey.

I wanted to reduce my choice anxiety and the overhead of switching from something to another thing. I'm not a hoarder, but items that I use started to take a lot of space and mental energy (I like to organize things and keep notes about different subjects in different notebooks for example) to manage. I started to combine stuff and digitize old writings whenever possible, then combined old backups to denser mediums, stopped buying paper books and moved to eBooks, etc.

At the end of the process, I've found that I'm sizing down and my target is in the realms of minimalism. I'm not an extreme minimalist, and I cannot give some stuff like my stationary stock, since there's no place I can donate them, and throwing them away is simply wasteful. For these kind of items, I cut the influx, and using whatever I have to reduce items. It's working reasonably well for me.

For some of us, minimalism is not a fad or something to inspire to, but a way to live a less stressful and more comfortable life at the end.
I learned a tip from someone:

"Save 100% by not buying anything!"
I usually don't like language that suggests that consumers are brainwashed by marketing. But, getting people to comprehend that spending money =/= saving money is surprisingly difficult.

Even when they understand money has been spent, it's not spent rationally: money "saved" at the grocery store doesn't actually mean less total money spent, rather the same amount as usual is spent, and more food than usual was able to be purchased.

This is a fine tact if you're going for volume, but it's absolutely not "saving money."
Indeed, here's another example:

'Leaving the European Union would tip the UK into a year-long recession, with up to 820,000 jobs lost within two years, Chancellor George Osborne says.

Publishing Treasury analysis, he said a Leave vote would cause an "immediate and profound" economic shock, with growth between 3% and 6% lower.'
That Windows 10 Tracks You – From German Cyber Intelligence
I don't have hard numbers to quote on this, but I'm very convinced that you end up paying more in the end.

From my own experience and pretty much every one I talk about this, people have a tendency to buy things they'll never need. (I constantly try not to do that, but it takes active thinking about it all the time.)
No discount deal is cheaper than the one where you don't buy something you don't need.

Then there's underestimated costs that aren't immediately visible. If you buy more stuff of items that you use over a longer timeframe you'll have to store them. Which of course means you're paying rent for the space in your flat that's taken up by excess stuff.
I know purchase manager at large companies does that quite often. Get quote from three companies. Cancel out highest and lowest bidder and confirm order to middle one.
Sometimes I'll just put everything in my way into a cardboard box (for instance, everything on my desk, or the majority of a cluttered shelf). I write the date on the box and put it in a closet. The rule after that is I can take things out of the box if I need them, but I can't put anything else in. Any time I find a box with a date more than 1 year old I just donate the whole thing to a thrift store without looking inside.
The practical difference between being spied on by the Americans or the Chinese seems pretty slight to most countries; this 'rule of law' jazz doesn't really apply for foreigners. Chinese might be more likely to conduct industrial espionage, but the Americans are more likely to bomb a given country. Both seem to be comfortable in-principle with snatching foreigners in foreign countries (although I think China has tended to target ex-Chinese nationals so far).

The real issue is that the UK is part of the 5 Eyes, so it has a special reason to be happier about being spied on by Americans.

Worth noting that article is written from the perspective of the market never being wrong. They're not keyboard or ergonomic experts talking from that experience, they're economists who believe the market works in a certain way and if Dvorak is better than Qwerty and still failed then their economic theories would be wrong. So they set out to prove its not better, not to investigate whether it was better or not.
Dockerfiles Explained
I've been using Dvorak for about 5 years, then went back to qwerty because I'm doing all my typing on a laptop and I'm not 100% blind-typing. I also stopped because dvorak is not great for programming; you don't get as much as the benefits when you're not writing texts in English (as I did during my Ph.D, writing research articles) but you suffer because all shortcuts are designed to be convenient on a qwerty.

I still miss dvorak, but for me it's not about typing speed as much as "hand movement". On a dvorak, most typing happens on the center row, on the stronger fingers, so I find it much more confortable to type. On a qwerty I feel like I'm constantly streching my hands around the keyboard while on a dvorak it's much more static.
