Immutable here means no in-place update, you have to update using an "errata" record. This is the requirement for many type of official documents, even before computers were used.

>> I don't want my medical records to be distributed for obvious reasons.

Distributed here means no single point of failure.

>> Encrypted, sure, but "cryptographically-verified" seems to be overkill as there's little incentive for third parties to try and forge medical records.

Probably easier to just roll in the vaccinations as part of the uni fee's.
You are correct. I think the reason why is the article puts the 'why' very deeply inside and that reason is central planning. Xi will soon be God-emperor for life and China will continue to enjoy the benefits of an authoritative structure. Not to derail but while this is an article about cities it is disingenuous not to talk about contractors,zoning laws,city council, nimby, etc which the cities you have quoted have had to suffer. Shanghai does not have to face these challenges as one man can just say 'no'.
"Perhaps consciousness arises when the brain's simulation of the world becomes so complex that it must include a model of

Seems illegal to quarantine people for measles. They don't quarantine people for the flu, and that's a much deadlier disease.
There's a huge upside the article misses. Having discrete movement allows the rules to be easily and exactly mentally simulated by humans. And that is key to a lot of tactical thought where you enumerate the possible responses and counter responses you and your opponent can have.

For the opposite side of the spectrum, see the excellent game Frozen Synapse which has non-discrete motion and so to allow this "simulate the future" aspect they actually allow you to plan future moves for both yourself and the opponent and test them out. Without that, exact movement loses a certain appeal that is shared by chess and go and hex-based games. There's still pleasure to be had in free-form movement and it should be better explored too. But don't forget why the old ways were great.
Are you being sarcastic or is this a genuine belief that you hold? I honestly can't tell.
For example I would not like to see a complex board with a central microprocessor where each signal is wired up directly!

this was especially bad when I had to read PDF exports from a (very expensive) tool where the net labels were not searchable nor linked in any form!

...like the majority of laptop schematics out there seem to be structured, where the CPU, GPU, and chipset are sitting on their own page with nothing but net labels attached to them? At least the ones I've come across have a list of the other page numbers where the net can be found, next to the label.

I have a lot to say about that, but first is that this follows an almost cliche popular misconception.

People in the West saying that "Chinese model is the future" irk me. What I say to them is that Chinese model is "their future."

It is the West that was much apart from "average world countries" for the most 20th century than any other country being something special.

If Western countries will ever see a "system change" in near future, it is more likely them becoming much more like the rest of the world, not specifically China.

As I just posted in another comment, I live in Ecuador and crime is booming everywhere. Narco-related crimes are a serious problem too.

I believe this policy helped former president secure votes in zones where this gangs operated, but definitely it is not a crime solving solution.
Yeah but a metric is a metric is a metric. That there are more metrics in one area than another is arbitrary.

You could just as easily say: all right LOC is the only thing that matters, we're not paying you to be right, we're paying you to write code so do it. And the warehouse could have thousands of metrics to measure the intricacies of working in a warehouse. Following that your argument easily applies to programmers as well. They deserve to be treated like crap.

That you view working in a warehouse as so simple,and that you talk about "deserving" so much reveals a lot. You're using metrics as an abstraction to hide behind so you can really say they "deserve" to be treated this way because they work in a warehouse.

But, really, whether someone deserves some treatment or not

This. Whether jail or some other sanction, hold decision makers personally accountable. Fines have their place, but - at least for a firm of FB's size - they just get priced into accounts.

The FB/Zuckerberg combination is almost unique in terms of (1) market cap, (2) the controlling ownership he holds, and (3) behaviour of the firm.

Facebook is reputedly pedalling furiously behind the scenes to prevent Zuckerberg himself being charged. Whilst saying almost nothing about the fines. That says everything about where they see the real danger.
However the joke is spot on, since that image is not far removed from the general mess at a typical CVS. You walk in for your meds and are bombarded with a special deal on soda, makeup, want a beach toy? how about some junk food? oh wait here's some more cheap cosmetics to go with your passport photo… By the time you get to the OTC drug section that has the tiny selection of the same meds in 5 different brandings/packagings, you're already overwhelmed. The whole store is a UX fail.

As a side note, I'm fit and not diabetic but making people who struggle with glucose control walk past all these snacks is just evil—or ar the very least highly insensitive. Profit first, damn the sick! :(
Hahaha, wow -- full circle, this inadvertently arrives back at a racist system it seeks to counteract! For example, if it averages that hispanics are 1.6 times faster than the average worker at sorting boxes, does that mean it should fire a hispanic who is outperforming a white co-worker because adjusting for averages, that individual is 'under-performing'?

You've really wandered onto the wrong website if you don't like academics.

At least as far as the UK is concerned, in my time in the Aerospace Defence industry every single person I've worked with has been an academic in some sense.

There are almost no ex-soldiers involved in the process, unless they have an academic background. For us, the Defence Engineering and Science Group bring in a think-tank of currently serving soldiers to discuss their needs with them, then DESG work on procurement. They then contract that out to a private R&D company. We get a spec and work to fulfil that. From friends within the industry, other than perhaps BAE which do look favourably on ex-soldiers provided they have an degree (more academics huh...), all the work is done by a bunch of postgraduate scientists. It seems to me that your perception of how the 'big private companies' work it somewhat outdated...

Absolute dictators always get things done that might be impossible in any kind of democracy or republic. However they only remain dictators for the life as long as things keep working, and often it requires brutal suppression of people in general. One wrong move and an economy that crumbles leaving people angry, confused and poor, and dictator is gone. When you put all your country's eggs in one person's basket, someday it will fail, or possibly the next dictator for life is a moron. Haiti is a great example of this with Papa Doc having had absolute power, and Baby Doc being an absolute moron.
Let's look at the main page for a repo: https://gitlab.com/pwoolcoc/fedichat

The main middle section is fine, your eye doesn't have to travel far to read the code files and the readme because it's in your primary viewing area.

But you know what's not in your primary viewing area? All of the buttons that do important things. They're shoved off to the side. If you want to do anything other than read the code files, you need to be looking at the exact leftmost edge of your screen and away from the main content. It's a disjointed viewing experience.

But that's just about the navigation. Let's say that you find the Issues page and go there: https://gitlab.com/pwoolcoc/fedichat/issues

Ok, now the main content AND the most important buttons (navigation) are shoved to opposite sides of the screen. There is no max width on the main content, so your eye has to travel a veritable mile to read all of the content for each issue.

Even looking at the content for a specific issue has the same problem: https://gitlab.com/pwoolcoc/fedichat/issues/6

If I had to put my finger on the primary reason for this design, it's probably an over-focus on the idea that you should feature some "main content" for each page and kind of hide what you believe is "superfluous".

For example, "oh they clicked on an issue, so they really only care about the discussion that is taking place. Let's feature the discussion text but make all of the metadata shoved to the side and even collapsible." But the problem with this line of thinking is that the user _does_ care about more than just the "main content" of a page. The metadata, the navigation, it's all factored into a typical user experience. So when you are making the decision for the user about what they _should_ be looking at, you're forcing them to break your flow to do what they want. Now the user has to dart their eye from the far left to the far right just to see what they want.

I know I didn't answer your numbered questions directly, but I hope I'm conveying this correctly. I've never made a gitlab account, so I just use the default settings.

thats quite a reductionist approach and i dont think it applies to this case. we have an understanding of consciousness by the very fact that we can experience it - i.e theres a proof of existence already.

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
Profit, short term thinking, incompetence. This triplet is so common that seems to be part of a major study that lots of execs have properly mastered.

Is there anywhere some study/statistics that shows the impact of those 3 elements together? Because I am quite sure it's extremely common, or I just stumble upon such cases really frequently....

I'm firmly of the belief that if you spend a lot of your leisure time thinking about work, perhaps you have an unhealthy work/life balance. You are of course correct that it is possible to still do so. I don't agree with the point that this should be counted or even is work time. It is free time you have sacrificed to your job, without compensation. Work with no compensation doesn't satisfy the conditions for what I consider to be employment.
Hi qnsi,

Sorry to hear that you didn't like it. I agree with much of what you said and I will remedy as much of them as I can, as soon as I can.

The logic behind complement commoditization [1] is to kill your fine-grained competition, when you can recoup the commoditization costs in the larger product. It is something every company above a certain size does. There is no fundamental problem with the practice.

The commoditization practice is problematic when your company is so large it distorts the market. Hence the antitrust perspective of the article.

From a monopoly prevention perspective, Amazon should not be allowed to commoditize complements.

> ... Algorithms could be used to prevent firing an employee in such a situation.

I think you're being _very_ optimistic and a bit naive about the motivations of a business that would resort to such algorithms.

They want to maximize the throughput rate of picking boxes and minimize their cost. Sure, it sounds "objective" to say that everyone who doesn't meet the pre-agreed work criteria would be fired (and not-fired if they meet it).

But who gets to set that threshold? Who determines what is reasonable? What if that performance threshold can only be met by fit young people and only until their bodies can't take the stress anymore? How will workers even assess whether or not they can do the job until they try?

This is an ugly practice. If it survives, it will be coming to a cubicle near you someday. Hope I am retired by then.

Again, part of my point was that Stallman is uninterested in such feedback, as demonstrated by the quoted exchange. The linked open letter did just what you suggest and was fruitless. His intransigence in such matters is why I don’t think he’s worth emulating. It’s my belief the world needs people open to challenging their own core ideas, to entertain the possibility they might be wrong and evolving their understanding of themselves, others, and the world itself. Stallman comes across as the opposite of that.
