Meanwhile, banning a handful of Chinese phone manufacturers does absolutely nothing to address your "only 2 phone OSes" concerns. In fact, it further validates my previous comment, because now there are fewer OEMs operating in the US who could introduce an alternative to Android or Google.
Look at the other comments above yours. Several state that they have blanket hiring bans on firms located in regions where this behavior is prevalent. It has direct harm on employability and it's unethical to the point of making your own job prospects extinct.

If you've ever seen what a consulting company costs (hundreds of thousands of dollars for small projects), you'd realize most of that money is going to support lobbyist's lifestyles.

A what? In the majority of the World copyright has been automatic for about 140 years.

How you get copyright is you make a work. No need to put anything else on it. IIRC there are about 3 countries that aren't signatories to the Paris Convention.

In USA you can file a notice in order to get better treatment in court, but it's not been required for 40 years or so, is that what you're referring to?

I was asked to use very exaggerating adjectives about my abilities on a resume, mainly because I would be able to gain those abilities fairly easy and the “customer” was more focused on buzz words and years of experience than real talent.

It was a large public tender, we were a big team (of mainly unexperienced engineers), we won it and we did a really good job.

It was probably unfair competition to lie on the resume - but I think my employer knew better what they needed, than they did themselves, so we gamed the tender.

I find it amusing or at least ironic that you say "many here were defending Boeing during the 737 Max fiasco" when in reality the mainstream opinion here is very anti-Boeing and there is a down-voted and dead comment that says they didn't see anyone defending Boeing. Well of course, those people are/were a tiny minority so they got down-voted and buried like that comment. It's a perfect illustration of what it's asking about.

And this is going to get down-voted because of the first of fight club.

That might be part of the overall testing you did in which more than just IQ was being testing. In a normal barrage you might get tests for working memory, attention, etc. which are not IQ. This sounds like it’s testing working memory.

In order for something to test intelligence you shouldn't be able to improve your score by learning, practicing, or studying.

You cannot really improve your IQ score by any significant margin by studying in general, unless you memorize the answers on a particular test. This doesn’t make the IQ tests any less useful or valid than SAT or MCAT.

Scores should be reproducible.

They are. Test-retest correlation on high quality IQ tests are well north of 0.9

I've yet to see an IQ test that didn't test skills you could improve by practicing.

If you practice (I.e. memorize the answers) for a specific test, e.g. Wechsler, you won’t get any gain on Stanford Binet, for example.

They also assume knowledge. For example, the IQ test I had when I was young included word comparisons. This tested vocabulary more than intelligence. Someone who didn't have a formal education or didn't know English well would score lower regardless of their intelligence.

Yes, because intelligent people tend to have more knowledge. People don’t attain vocabulary simply by being taught the words at school. Vocabulary is learned by experiencing contact with words, and intelligent people tend to seek these experiences more. But yes, comparing an Englishman and Korean on an English-language analogies section of WAIS makes no sense. Fortunately, there almost always is measurement invariance within same country/culture, meaning that the tests measure the same latent ability.
Ok, this makes me wonder how humans do it. Would a person who has never seen a rotated upside-down dog recognize it?
I can tell you where it comes from.

It is basically a result of agency theory (principal agent problem) in the typical setting of economic theory (no transaction costs, bla bla bla).

The question is what a corporation should do, which aims it should strive for. That's an extremely difficult question, in particular if there are many owners ("principals", shareholders) who have different utility functions (goals), who are furthermore distinct from the CEO and managers actually running the business ("agents"), who might have their own interests (enlarging their fiefdom, job security, what have you).

The theoretical solution is to say: maximise the net present value of the firm (which goes to the shareholders, after paying debt), and then they can decide what to do with it, and pursue their own goals. Now, this makes some sense in a no-transaction cost world - if shareholders care about workers and peace and the sick, they can use the shareholder value created, and put some of it in, dunno, charity and health insurances, and what have you.

Thus, goal should be shareholder value maximisation, and to get the agents on board, you "align their interests" by incentives, specifically by giving the CEO options.

(Note that shareholder value maximisation is not the same as profit maximisation, and definitely not the same as short-term profit maximisation - the value of the shares is theoretically the sum of discounted cashflows in all eternity).

The other argument, of course, is that shareholders care only about maximisation of the value of their share, and thus a firm which does not pursue shareholder value maximisation will lose shareholders and go out of business.

Both arguments are not all bad, but of course the real world is much more complicated. Shareholders might have more goals than maximising the value of their shares (not in Econ 101, of course). A company might be in a much better position to achieve some of those aims directly, rather than via the circuitous route of handing it to the shareholder and them pouring it back into the game.

At any rate, the notion of shareholder value maximisation is not some God-given absolute truth, but one proposed solution for specific problems within a specific theoretic framework, and it's not clear at all that it's always optimal, and should not be reflexively trotted out when talking about corporations, and not serve as a defense for corporations acting badly.
Sorry to nitpick, but copyright declarations are a thing of the past in many nations with copyright protections automatically conveyed upon creation, registration only necessary within a short time after infringement was detected, with registration serving to only maximize the monetary sanction the government will levy on your behalf.

I love paywalls to be honest. It gives me a taste of the quality of content to see if its worth my dollar a week. NYT also stopped hemmoragging cash by switching to a paywall subscription model, because just like since the dawn of printed content, people are generally fine with paying a tiny amount of cash to read something that’s not pure ad copy.

> It [inflation] is simply an annual cost for having assets

Not all assets, just cash or claims denominated in cash (like loans). Most investments don't lose purchasing power just because you devalue the dollar. The poor are most likely to have the majority of their savings in the form of cash, for various reasons; minimum investment limits, for one, and also investing in general is more efficient when you have more money to invest. Below a certain point, the brokerage fees alone would outweigh any likely annual return. Moreover, in an inflationary economy consumer prices tend to rise faster than wages, so the purchasing power of labor declines. Deflation is just the opposite: Sure, wages are falling as the dollar becomes more valuable, but prices tend to fall even faster, so purchasing power increases.

If you're looking to tax wealth then inflation is not the answer.

Let me run you through a series of conversation I had with Impersonating Amex Employee and how my Identity is stolen,
The Amex employee gave his name as george and im going to put myself as X
George: Hi sir, we are calling from amex regarding a fraud swipe, we are calling to confirm if you did it?
X: No im driving right now and I am not the one, can you please mark that charge as fraud?
George: Sure, before that I see you are not enrolled in fraud alert services, I'm going to activate that for you, can you tell me a OTP which is being sent to you?
X: What, I do I know I should trust you. Let me call Amex myself and if they re-iterate what you said then I will take it from there.
George: Hold on sir, I can give you your SSN number for confirmation and he gave me my correct SSN number
X: ok I believe you( in my defense he gave out my freaking SSN Number)
George: Can you answer a security question for me?
X: I did( George knos my SSN,Email, phone, address, now my security ans)
George: Now i'm going to run down your transactions and let me know which are fraud
X: He ran down my recent transaction( has access to my transactions somehow)
George: Ok I have marked them as fraud
George: I am going to order a replacement and he gave me a tracking number and we are going to lock your account and give a temporary password
X: ok( by this time I get a message saying XXX amount is cash despense alert)
X: George, I see fraud alert on cash dispensing
George: Ya I will cancel it now(meanwhile I tried to enter the new password and it didnt go through)
X: I tried logging using temp password and it isnt letting me through
George: Let me reset it again now you will get another OTP for this, can you give me that
X: gave that
Call got terminated and cash was dispensed
X: so let me call amex again

This time a woman names debbie spoke,
Debbie: Hi sir, how can i help you,
X: explains everything
Debbie: seems like one of our representative, so sir can you answer this security question?
X: I did
Debbie: thank you for confirmation. I see your account is locked and good that you called us because our input is necessary to unlock it, so I'm going to ask few questions
asked me where I work,
whats my salary,
where im based out of
what type of apartment I live in
X: why are you asking such questions?
Debbie: It is necessary for us to ask certain questions to understand if you are eligible to hold onto the account
X: ok, so can you reset my account, the older password isnt working
Debbie: Sir try after 15 mins for the systems to get synced up and hung up the call
X: tried amex again
This time Im gonna call him as agent and he is from fraud team
X: explains everything about both the calls.
agent: Sir I see you made the cash despense and your account is not locked, nobody ordered for a new card
X: I explain him from start about all that happened
agent: very sorry sir. I will go ahead and mark the transaction as fraud and will lock your account and will send out a new one.( this time i got email confirmation of new card being processed.)
X: can you please put my account in high risk as I believe my personal information including my SSN is stolen.
agent: Yes sir we will take care of it
Note: George, Debbie, Agent all spoke from the same phone number
Now I just couldnt figure out how george has access to all my information including a way to reconstruct my card
Am i being watched? I know I'm hacked for sure. What can I do to prevent futher damange and also help me connect the dot
I would understand if someone has my ssn info or did a cash dispence separately(because someone has to read my card from somewhere I swipped)
Doing both is what is scaring me, is someone watching me like a thriller movie?
Projects like Linux are "community" projects in the sense that there is not a single company backing it, sure. However, for Linux, only 7.7% of contributions were made by unpaid developers as of this 2016 report[0].

I have a hard time calling this a "community" project when the community is paid by corporations. Don't get me wrong, I'm not really complaining, as a project the size of a commercially viable operating system kernel is hardly a project that could be viable without corporate backing IMHO.

You are not wrong but you getting pancreatic cancer is a largely random event based on factors too numerous to name and define. Boeing specifically cut corners to not retrain pilots on the MAX and lied so they could give it the same rating.

A better analogy would be if you found out your favorite drink gave you a 100x greater chance of getting pancreatic cancer, would you stop drinking it? (Note: the odds of you getting pancreatic cancer on the whole are still immeasurably small even at 100x) What if you found out this new drink recipe never went through any safety testing but the company claimed it was basically the same as the old tested drink you enjoyed previously from the same company?

This seems totally absurd.

Clicks are not tracked via cookies but via urls. The search engine in this example would send the user to someshop.com/someproduct?clickid=7e82jv927x748342

They say nothing about how they want to prevent this and other tracking mechanisms. Yet, they propose an overly complex system to send even more data to advertisers.

Also they do not say anthing about the ip that their additional ping will send out. I definitely do not want my browser to communicate with an advertiser days later and without my consent.

Also, click tracking is not even a big problem in the first place. Tracking you wherever you go is. Even if you do not click on any ads.
While the language can prevent certain errors on itself, errors can also be found with static analysis and testing, and prevented with paradigms and experience.

Ad attribution is not inherently bad. The means by which people do ad attribution are typically evil, and due to the ease by which this data is collected, lead advertising companies down the dark path of becoming user data brokers.

But the simple act of "I placed an ad on this site, is that ad driving sales?" is perfectly benign, and if we can enable that use-case without enabling any privacy leakage, that's unambiguously a good thing because making the privacy-conscious approach easy and reliable means people will use it and won't resort to the more privacy-invasive techniques.

This is the same underlying justification as the "ping" attribute, which is basically, it enables in a privacy-conscious manner the basic functionality people want, and which they already have other less-privacy-conscious means to get, so let's make the most user-positive option the simplest and most reliable.

Also by standardizing how this works it enables content blockers to block these requests. This ad click attribute proposal even explicitly listed this as a feature. If you don't want ad click attribution, use a content blocker that blocks /.well-known/ad-click-attribution/ and you're done.
