>> How many business are making money selling Debian based software?

That is to miss the point. Nobody give a shit how much money can be made selling Debian. The users care about how much they can get done by using Debian. Software has essentially zero replication cost, so those who try to make a lot of money from it are rent seekers. The challenge then is how to create software in the fist place. Those that charge for software and provide continued high quality development will be OK, while those that buy RedHat just to make money will not (long term).
The Confucius Institute program trains its agents to engage in whataboutism exactly like this when China's expansionism or other questionable practices are called into question. Seeing this favoured Chinese propaganda tactic as the topmost comment on an intelligent discussion forum is terrifying.

I'm not accusing parent of being related, but this line of argument is clearly a fallacy and doesn't at all detract from the issues being raised.

The endstate of this whataboutism is a reduction to the absurd, like 'the Germans ran ethnic concentration camps, so why can't we?'[1]

> Anything that happens after the end of an individual’s reproductive years (perhaps also the period of raising the offsprings) stops exerting any evolutionary pressure.

This is definitely wrong. Individuals (e.g. grandparents or just random society members) can influence survival rates of other society members.

Some species(e.g. ants) even have sterile members that definitely exert evolutionary pressure.
If we were living in the jungle no one has to care about anything beyond their own survival, but if you live in a 'civilized' society then by definition you can't behave like you are in a jungle and there are certain responsibilities on adults.

For instance employing women may bring additional days offs due to child birth and the society has to structurally think about these things and security and well being of the entire society or the generation may well end in a single run. Short term thinking does not survive.

Greed and selfishness is not new. There are always those who live in civilized societies and all the benefits it entails but do not want the responsibilities that the word 'civilized' places on them both in thought and action, and want to pretend they are living in a jungle for purely selfish reasons.

Well, my position has been that platforms have been built on the knowledge that they're heavily used for content theft but that they're shielded from liability for it unfairly. (See Section 230 here in the US). And I think the tech industry is a pox on our news media and the money they need to do real investigative work. (See Apple taking like a solid 50% revenue on their news service.)

I'm reasonably happy the EU is interested in shifting profits back away from big tech, and confident the Internet will adjust and survive the reduced viability of the large content platforms.

As a fan of decentralization and quality journalism, and no ties to any company affected positively or negatively by these decisions, I'm on board.

Does Taiwan reconive Taiwan as Taiwan or do they still claim to be The republic of China?

A big part of this conflict is due to the US along with the army of Taiwan insisting that the republic of chine should be the only China represented at the UN For decades after the kumquat army lost the civil war something China have neither forgotten nor forgiven.

And to make it worse distancing themselves from that policy/claim is still a sore issue for Taiwan.

I suspect sampling bias. When you're upset, direct confrontation can be upsetting too! NVC isn't a perfect magic trick that always works, but that's not enough reason to dismiss it.
Great question.

I use NVC frequently to people with a lot more power than me, and I'd actually suggest NVC is actually about putting yourself (and your needs) on the same level as those of the person your speaking with.

The fundamental premise is that fundamental needs are shared by all humans... and the ideal strategy is one where all needs are met.

So, you can avoid patronising someone by truly seeking to understand the other person's feelings and needs without judgement and taking those needs seriously. Again, easy to say, hard to do.
Well, it's a damn shame, a lamentable mistake. Maybe it is even indicative of structural issues. (Having said that, the EU is still one of my favourite jurisdictions to be based in. And there are not many people that extol "everything the EU does"; things are rarely black and white.)
Clueless twats. I will look up all who voted for this farce and let them know individually it will haunt them for the rest of their political career.

No forgiveness for kneecapping free expression in return for some lobbyist euros and pretending it protects artists.

And to the artists who were dumb enough to believe it: if your art wasn't mediocre you wouldn't have any trouble drawing the attention of the copyright industry, as they are always looking for something new to milk. So you traded off a big break that won't happen anyway for the collective right to free expression of the entire Union. Good job, you utter tossers.

I think Internet has become the easiest way to spread propoganda. China is not the only one doing this.

It's so easy to spread ideas using Internet these days, that almost all business, political and social entities around the world are involved in the spreading whatever ideas they deem worthy.

The bigger entities are able to spread them more effectively which is expected.

Internet may eventually turn out to be a bigger monster for modern human civilization than other threats in the past like World Wars and Cold War.

The original Rambo film is a remarkably thoughtful study of the challenges Vietnam veterans faced reintegrating into society, including a look inside PTSD (the book even more so than the film... the book was commonly included in high school history and civics courses in the decade after it was written). The sequels, which are the films best remembered today, were of course nothing but pure adrenaline rides with nothing to recommend them, but don't taint the original film with the sins of its sequels. Even the portrayal of the "evil" small town sheriff Rambo battles is remarkably interesting and nuanced. Yes, it's still a popcorn film, but it's one of the most thoughtful and intelligent action films you're likely to find (there is much more than meets the eye in Sylvester Stallone, writer of both the original Rambo script and the Rocky script).
Rambo is a case of dramatic irony which has backfired such that the deeper, satirical meaning has been lost on the audience. This may have to do with the problem that the original film, First Blood, was way less popular than the sequels and that those films dialed up the violence to ridiculous levels, making it harder for the audience to see the original message.

The implication of “Consumers are far better now than they were” is that they are better, because of the App Store. This is false, completely illogical, and a straw man argument (as no one suggest users of tech have it worse in 2019 then 2005). Consumers are better off now, because technology has gotten better, not because App Stores have made things better. App Stores have actively caused harm to the consumers through lock in and through a compression of imagination amongst end users of how much better things could be.

You’re also factually incorrect about “a small elite had access to the internet”. That may have been true in the 80s, but by 2000 usage was at 50% and climbed to 75% by 2010. I mean the dot com boom was predicated on wide user adoption, so I don’t even know why you would even think that stat made inuitive sense.

I can replaces search, i use DDG as default, I have simple shortcut to google.

But I use gmail, google docs, Android with many google integrations. I could find alternatives, but really not as good. And mostly it would be just another company, where I'm not sure I can trust either.

Local and self-hosted options are just really not good enough. For example in MS Excel, I can't load actual currency tickers, or share it simply.

I also use Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter. If I don't I'll just have no voice.

I have my own web, but nobody goes there.

Easy to spread but easy to ignore. The internet cheapened communications to the point where propaganda has about the same worth as cat memes.
Contrarian viewpoints (i.e. "this is actually different", "this is actually not surprising") are very popular on Hacker News and upvote based internet fora. Many times they are actually low value, especially when they are not even particularly responding to a surprise in the original article, but to a surprise the poster initially had or an expected surprise the general audience should have.

You can have a discussion on whether this is a good thing or not, but being smug about how "we knew better all along" is very low value. The best comments I feel shouldn't be about the type of response you should have to the article, it should be about the contents of the article. Yet comments like these trigger something in people to upvote it anyway.

I'm curious, if NVC goes for indirect instead of direct conversation.

I was working in an American company (I'm German) and had to learn to adapt to the style of being too nice (in my opinion). E.g. an "it might be better to do it like this", wasn't really meant as a weak suggestion, but a strong one. Something completely counterintuitive to my German mindset. I took it as a "might" and was met with negativity that I didn't exactly follow the "suggestion".

I much prefer language being direct at work. Treat the subjunctive as what it is: expressing uncertainty, not politeness.

I know however that many people, especially outside of Germany, prefer the indirect language, even though they learned to understand it with the same meaning as the direct speech.
Nice.

>London made the mistake of excluding Taxis from their congestion toll scheme.

It is a very simplistic view to call it a mistake, as the the issues and policies related to the Congestion Charge have changed and evolved over the last 16 years. For example, the PHV (Private Hire Vehicle) will not be exempt from the charge from 8th April 2019. However, licensed Taxi's (Black cabs) were still deemed to be exempt from the charge, following a public consultation last year[1].

Amongst various other considerations, some of these decisions were made on the basis that the number of PHV's entering the zone has nearly doubled in the last decade, whilst some traffic has been constant.[2]

Manhattan will have to deal with similar issues, which will generally coalesce around the central tenets of easing traffic flow, improving air quality and reducing accidents.

Insurers Creating a Consumer Ratings Service for Cybersecurity Industry
There is no way this new law actually protects little guys. All the exemptions for small platforms go away once that platform exists for 3 years. After that you turn into another Google and Facebook. So is the EU somehow expecting a new market to open up for alternative players who only expect to be around for 3 years, before closing up shop? Who is going to invest in that? How is it going to make "big tech" less powerful when it is explicitly an on-ramp to bait and switch more "big tech" into existence?

The directive is idiotic, self contradictory, and cannot possibly do what they say it will.

It is stunning that critical thinking is now so bad that they can convince a majority of MEPs this is not a complete fantasy.

RIP EU. This is the last straw. Selling off free expression for cheap Russian gas. Motherfuckers. If I hear one more "muh russian internet manipulation" peep from these twats...
I must strongly disagree. NVC stressed the importance of specific observations — genuinely, I can't see how you can be more direct than that.

Most people never get to specifics and stop at generalities. That would be my definition of indirect.
I went to a course on how to negotiate with people delivered by a hostage negotiator for the (British) police that basically agreed with what you say.

The key they said was to work out what the person's motivation was and then adapt your communication to suit what was appropriate.

The general rule was to (at least appear to) match the emotional intensity of the person you were talking to. If you're negotiating with someone who's ready to jump off a bridge, rational argument and NVC is not as likely to help as an emotional appeal to their underlying concerns.
No, they voted for lies.

Yes, and most providers have usually done a good job at reducing content theft on their platforms, to the extent of their capabilities.

The only thing that has changed is that now they can be punished for not meeting someone elses subjective standard.

> I'm reasonably happy the EU is interested in shifting profits back away from big tech

If that's what you believe, then I understand your position. Sadly, you could very well be completely mistaken. Google, Facebook & Co. already have their filters; they can prove that they're trying their best.

It's only the smaller communities that will be affected, and they won't have the money for dozens of well-paid machine-learning specialists to build them content filters. We'll see how long it takes for google to sell access to their services.

Of course, if you think I'm mistaken, I'd love to hear your reasoning (I'd also really love to be proven wrong on this topic)
Well semantics are important, especially in fields that someone is intimate with, and I'm currently finishing a phd in cis-regulation and epigenetics.

When we stress mice and notice a difference in their offspring through epigenetics, this is something
that has already evolved in mice. Parts of the parental DNA get "marked" and the mark passes on to the offspring
and influences their development, but the mechanism that connects external stress and the marking of the parental DNA
is itself a genetic mechanism and subject to evolution.

The offspring whose development was changed because of the parental stress isn't evolved, much like a baby with FASD[1] isn't "evolved" either
