You’re confusing productivity with leverage. A person who harvests cabbage arguably already produces 70k worth of value every year- they just don’t have any leverage to claim any of that value for themselves since they are easily replaced. It has nothing to do with how much value they produce. By the same token there are only so many technical jobs in any economy, and if the supply of those jobs increases beyond the demand you’ll just see a lot of extra credentials and other filters placed to eliminate the excess.

Edit: and of course the extreme, canonical example of this phenomenon is people who have no jobs but hold lots of stocks, which allows them to extract tremendous economic rents from their leverage as the owners of the land, machinery and organizations required to make the economy run, but without personally contributing any value at all.

That would require them to know what regulation backs up their request. Which in turn would require such a regulation to exist.

Like rewarding stores for doing the following:

• Having a reusable bag - or even better, delivery services which can optimize fuel usage for delivering products, and are more convenient for people too!

• Rewarding people with large discounts for bringing it into the store, to be re-used, otherwise "punishing" them fees for a bag.

• This creates loyalty. They can even set up an app to sign up and be notified when new items are in stock.

• Stores can cross-promote each other with these bags, and even print advertising on them.

That's one of the reasons why greylisting used to be effective; when a mail-delivery is attempted you give it a soft-fail, disconnecting the sender.

The expectation is that by the time they try to deliver a second time you'll get "spam" results if you query DNS-based blacklists, etc, as other people have reported it already.

These days greylisting doesn't seem to be so useful, as >50% of the spam I receive is sent from gmail/yahoo/similar. Hosts too big to block (sigh).

It's a lot more than a hierarchy of "love God, then perhaps others if you have anything left". Here's the context showing the tight coupling between human love and divine love:

We love because he first loved us. Those who say, "I love God," and hate their brothers or sisters, are liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen. The commandment we have from him is this: those who love God must love their brothers and sisters also.[1]

Elsewhere there's the commandment to "love as I loved you", i.e. love others to the point of dying for others. The standard set is incredibly high and hard—hence the Saints, whose lives & sacrifices are commemorated for their selflessness despite other struggles and failings.

Honestly, the first time I saw a Paypal email (something along the line of “check out your account activity”) I thought for sure that it was a phishing attempt. Not one link in their emails point to PayPal, they all point to stg like paypal-communications.com. You know, the type of domain name a phisher would come up with. Even the link talking about security doesn’t point to the PayPal website! That, and asking me to check my recent account activity when I know I haven’t used PayPal (and PayPal should also know that), is basically PayPal training their customers to fall for scams.

Public school teachers don’t have any of those benefits, at least in the US. Their pay and pension are anything but generous, they have little paid leave (where I live, maternity or paternity leave uses up paid sick days too), and they work long hours, with the expectation that they are available to answer emails practically every day.

This is pretty much why there are very few public school computer science teachers who do a decent job, since the ones who can legitimately write code can get a much better job at a private company.
I agree that there are fundamental problems in the hard sciences as well. E.g. the hype around string theory in physics. However, in this case I am told by the physicists, whom I know personally, that no physicist considers it "real physics" - they consider it mathematics (and many mathematicians consider it poor mathematics). The issue here seems largely to be the distorted image that the press presents of the views of the scientific community.

There are other examples, but the problems are nowhere near as big as in the fields my comment was suspicious of. And of course there surely are a lot of problems I don't have the slightest idea about. Still, the mindset of the scientists I know is so much different from the mindset of sociologists and others who seem much more driven by fashion. Back to physicists, I don't claim they are exempt from the influence of fashion. I claim that the impact of this influence is on a whole different level; there are lines that are not crossed, everything is up for falsification by experiment, and if it isn't falsifiable, then to hell with it etc. All of this makes me trust them a lot more.

Unsurprisingly, this technology, and presumably utilizing the surveillance to find any reason for eviction, is being applied to poor people. You rarely find this being rolled out in luxury apartments. Let's be honest here, poor people are stereotyped as being lazy, sneaky, untrustworthy, and stupid, so they have to be subjective to a more paternalism.

This is already accomplished by having difficult-to-duplicate keys or fobs for the building entrance, which is a pretty standard feature of apartment living. And yes, some management companies are very stingy with extra fobs, as a control against having extra people in the unit who are not on the lease, or Airbnb, or whatever. You can tell you are in a building with a lot of illegal extra tenants when the keyfob-controlled gates are always propped open, or there are always people waiting to tailgate through them.
> the efficiencies they introduce to society at large

What are you talking about?
You're right; complaint rate and similar metrics tracking were implemented by major consumer email providers in the early 00s, if I recall correctly. The technique has been around long enough for those providers to have systems in place to control for edge cases like the one you mentioned - there are enough subtle behavioral differences between an average user reporting something as spam, vs. a deliberate 'complaint brigade', in order to be able to discern reasonably well between the two - or at least, to reduce the impact of the latter. Users marking 'this is not spam' for messages that mistakenly land in spam is a key metric as well, and is part of how a lot of senders recover from short-term spam folder delivery.

Whether or not additional complexity is justified is something that can be measured in a case like this - and that's exactly what Gmail does, using a variety of different metrics, which allows them to make an informed decision about whether to take on the additional complexity cost.

Should they weight false positives for this message type more heavily in their accuracy metrics? Definitely, these are particularly critical to classify correctly.

China (and a few other authoritarian countries) have blocked and attacked GitHub numerous times due to repos that are critical of the government or help bypass censorship (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_GitHub).

But blocking GitHub has proven to be very costly so they're often forced to revert the decision. That's why GitHub appear to be the perfect place to host and promote truthful content (e.g. wiki articles about tiananmen massacre, xijiang concentration camps, etc) along with detailed instructions to bypass censorship. Right now it appear that at best China can prevent a specific URL from being shared on weixin/weibo/etc but can't stop people from opening the repo if they find a creative way to share it after (e.g. put the link in an image and modify the image slightly to change its hash before sharing it).
Pretty big difference between deemed populist by the king and deemed populist by the middle class, by secular opposition to that populism, and so on.

That said, you are right, the struggle is real. But it's likely not the 10%, but probably less or a lot more, depending on how you view people who benefit from the status quo. For example anyone who buys a new car, plans a trip, ponders over a job offer, submits an offer on a tender has options to try to rock the boat. Greener, more fair, more just options are usually there - but of course those usually also require some kind of trade off. Do we want something that's good on the long term, or something that's good on the short term?

And based on how many options people have and how little they value the long term, the global perspective we could classify them into different kinds of beneficiaries of the status quo. And it's enough for a small cabal of cooperating power brokers to benefit themselves to and unimaginably huge degree. As in significant portion of the world's "income" goes to people who had the option to enrich themselves and took it.

Sure, this can be complicated further by looking at those who enriched themselves then proceeded to spend those riches on goals that ultimately help others - but these deviations are usually small, and again, ultimately, can be factored in.

However, sometimes beheading kings is contraproductive as you get a civil war. Similarly just adding more voters does not magically lead to a fairer outcome. The classic example is adding more and more cannibals will eventually lead to a bit of a pickle.

The way I see it, when everybody consumes the same media everybody starts to have the same thoughts. Which isn't a bad thing, per se, but it's the sort of thing that leads to political polarization and close-mindedness. Groups of people make better decisions when they have different ideas and can come up with better solutions for problems. Strong democracies and economies are made by independent individuals, not identical crowds of people.

These "problems" are not specific to open source projects: Whenever you provide a service of some kind, very few people will thank you, most will just use it and another very few will be very vocal about where, how and why you are an incompetent idiot who is just waiting for their advice.

But the "problem" really does lie with you if you cannot tell people they got what they paid for (in case of pro bono work, like FOSS-development, even more).

Once upon a time I organized an annual pretty large demonstration for the legalization of Cannabis in Europe. After every event, at the first meeting, we had people show up who understood we desperately needed their advice.

Listen 10 minutes, then spend 10 seconds to confront them with reality (actual laws and regulations, the practicalities of your work or simply your experience of actually /doing/). It can be fun.

This is an additional problem on top of the obvious problems with mass surveillance. You have to trust the Observer to have an appropriate intent. You have to trust that they can secure the data. You have to trust that they will not hire a malicious person Who will misuse their access to the data. You have to trust that they won't be sold to a company that will revoke all of the above considerations.

This is far too much to trust, and none of it is in the control of the observed.

Making money cheap for mortgages is the mechanism the financial industry used---they used derivative technology in a largely-failed attempt to reduce the risks[1] of a class of extremely risky loans, loans would would never have been made without the derivatives. I'd argue that this benefited the financial industry much more than even "existing owners."

Buying real estate cheap and selling it for great profit, as a rule, only works once. If you use the proceeds to buy back into the same market, you're buying expensive property; you only actually see the profit if you move to East Bumford and buy cheap property that isn't appreciating. Further $750k or even several million isn't enough to get into the 1%. But skimming a few percent in fees off of millions of transactions is nigh unlimited money.

Now, of course, it's possible that posed mugshots deliver a much more consistent image quality then surveillance cams would, but 33% seems suspiciously high to me.
