> Goebbels quickly exercised power over the medium, because the state already controlled its infrastructure and content.

Unlikely. The Nazis exercised power over everything, including newspapers, which previously were not state-controlled. Radio being privately controlled wouldn't have stopped them. If you want to read more, this was part of the process called "Gleichschaltung".

The article apparently wants to use the Weimar Republic as an argument against restricting free speech. Which is interesting because the prevailing view here in Germany is that it failed because of too much free speech. That's why the Parliamentary Council, which drafted the West German constitution, put into place certain restrictions. That's part of the concept of "militant democracy" which the article mentions, but plays down a bit.

> Initially, Bredow allowed private companies to broadcast

Private companies were not allowed to broadcast in post-war West Germany until the eighties. We had and still have public broadcasters (similar to the BBC) for that. Media law is a state matter to ensure a federal government hostile to freedom and democracy cannot take control of them. The private broadcasters hardly contribute to democracy.

> “freedom of speech has boundaries.”

That isn't quite what he said. He said that freedom of opinion has boundaries. Which they do, but the difference is still important.

Forbidding people from making factually incorrect claims does not restrict their freedom of opinion because lies aren't opinions to begin with. As the Federal Constitutional Court put it: "To knowingly spread incorrect averments that have been proven false cannot contribute to the formation of public opinion and is not protected by freedom of opinion by itself."

a great point. this is a really, really important comment on this whole topic. i can't help but wonder if this phenomenon is widespread.

US companies don't fear a situation where Chinese design and engineering are equal or superior. this debate about IP theft is a smoke screen.

what US companies truly fear is Chinese companies that can market and sell directly to the US market because that's basically the only profitable thing US companies can do any more.

Maybe not golden but at least direct. Very few layers between you and the machine, and to some extent infinite possibilities. On the other hand you could easily hit resource walls. OTOH, microcontrollers haven’t changed much since then - at least for me (8051, and similar). Still a great time!

Those all sound like excellent outcomes in terms of linking behavior to carbon emissions via a price-signaling mechanism.

Logically, it's impossible to simultaneously incentivize people to emit less and not have the current high emitters feel some incentive to change.

Your statement that the UK and France had a longer democratic history is patently false. France was an absolute monarchy until the French Revolution in 1789 (which was a major splitting point between the Adams, Jefferson, and Hamilton factions of the early United States), and the UK had a very limited form of franchise compared to the US until the Reform Act was passed in 1832, and even then it was still lacking due to the undue power of unelected, monarchy chosen House of Lords (though the US Senate as well didn’t have elections, but Senators were directly chosen by democratically elected governors)
I think you just nailed the narrative that has been proven wrong: that free trade would move them toward an open society.

More generally I think recent history has disproven a core tenet of libertarianism: that personal and societal level freedom are inseparable from economic freedom and capitalism (in the liberal meaning of the term) and the prosperity it generates.

China proves that capitalism works just fine and even "benefits" (in a raw GDP sense) from an otherwise totalitarian state and that personal freedom and human dignity are optional.

Pushing back on China is one of the very few things I agree with the Trump administration about, and I think it was bound to happen anyway without them. The deal was that we would open generous free trade with China and they would liberalize and open up to us. They broke the deal in multiple ways, taking that economic growth and then closing their markets and re-embracing totalitarianism.
They note that Huawei's patent contained Quintel's name in the documents. How are those accusations weak? Seems like impressively strong evidence.

Between T-mobile's tappy (resulted in indictment), Quintel's antennas, CNEX Labs, Tekelec Inc, motorola, cisco source, and Akhan Semiconductor's Diamond Glass[1](unmentioned in this piece) seems like there is quite a bit of evidence that Huawei has a company wide directive to steal IP.

why do you think you control that?

apple tries, and even then people already managed to run code via pdf engines; on android it's at least more clear you have no control.

You probably have apps in your phone runnig rigth now that ship with their own JS engine for advertising purposes. Do you expect them to have all the necessary safeguards?
Just in the capacity that I have a lot to learn that I deem essential and research already takes up the majority of my free time.

Not that I won't try again, but I know it's an ordeal for me which takes lots of time I already don't have right now. I've taken and failed two separate language courses, not due to a lack of trying.

Learning foreign languages seems quite hard for me due to the nature through which I learned to read. I taught myself to read between age 2-3 and kind of just coasted on that for a long time, since I had mostly subpar public education.

But failing at multiple foreign languages has taught me the need to step back and have a better understanding of language in general before tackling it again.

But Mandarin is so far left field from other popular languages. Learning the Greek and Cyrillic alphabet was hard enough. I have severe ADHD and memory problems. I have used Anki for a long time and spaced repetition alone takes up a lot of my time. And the amount of symbols to learn for Mandarin is staggering.

Last year I took up memory training after studying the techniques of a few memory masters. I'm doing everything I can to improve my memory but just skipping to Mandarin right now is not a smart or efficient use of my time.

That's actually part of Nordhaus' recommended carbon pricing policy. (Nordhaus wrote the book on carbon pricing and won a Nobel prize in economics for it).

The idea is that carbon-priced countries get together and form an internal free trade agreement, and tariff carbon-intensive goods from outsiders.

Because of the political complexity of implementing this, Canada has gone a different way to keep businesses from being uncompetitive against foreign non-carbon-taxed businesses.

Canada uses "output-based allocation" where a relatively green business in an industry is used as a baseline. That is set as a target - create X unit of product with Y units of carbon emissions, and your carbon emissions are untaxed. Every carbon emission over Y is taxed.

In this way, a comparatively green business within a dirty industry can still compete with foreigners, but for a dirty business, the marginal value of going green is just as high as if there was no exemptions at all.

It's not ideal. It's bureaucratic, tedious, economically suboptimal, and politically complicated since it seems unfair. But it's a good intermediate solution until Nordhaus' full dream could be realized.

The money is rebated directly to citizens in federally-regulated provinces.

Conservatives hate it all anyways because their carbon plan is "no."

"pip install pendulum" is not complex.

Using pendulum is not complicated.

You can skim the doc in 5 minutes, your intern can do it too.

This is one of those tools that removes complexity when you use them.

Also, pendulum and the stdlib datetime module are compatible, making migration painless:

>>> pendulum.now() - datetime.now(pendulum.now().tz)
<Period [2019-05-26T16:57:35.872732+02:00 -> 2019-05-26T16:57:35.872141+02:00]>

In the end, pendulum doesn't requires you to install a transpiler, 100 plugins and create a configuration file like the post you link to. But it does save you from bugs, and you don't need to be an expert in time to use it.

I see only wins.
Were you under with propofol the whole time though? Usually the propofol is just to put you down (it is very short acting) you’re intubated, and then anesthesia is maintained with a volatile fluorane such as sevo.
Managed collateral through a trust: I set up a local access fiber to the home company in Iowa in 1996 and after we invested all our available capital in plant and equipment, we needed a line of credit to provision an unexpectedly large customer. We needed $400k and our assets were worth multiples of that, but they were not corn, securities or real estate (which is all that Iowa banks had any comfort with). An investor had $100k in a securities portfolio, which he was happy to pledge as collateral for the deal, but he did not want to lose the ability to trade the securities. So we set up a trust agreement with our local small town bank and trust, into which our guarantor contributed $100k. The bank (as trustee) opened an online discount brokerage trust account, into which they deposited the funds. Under the trust agreement, the guarantor had the right to trade the securities (but not withdraw any capital) and we had the right to pledge the entire value of the account as collateral towards our $400k line of credit at another bank. This was adequate (together with our plant and equipment) to get a non-recourse $400k line of credit. This technique could be used with virtually any type of collateral.
> Germany and other places had very weak free speech laws and was taken over repeatedly.

I'm counting 1 takeover, in 1933. The 1871 Reich was before the revolution, the GDR was due to the Soviet occupation.

The Parliamentary Council, who wrote the West German constitution, clearly did not think the Weimar Republic failed because of too much free speech. They made our free speech "very weak" because a democracy should not help its enemies destroy it. Which is what the Weimar Republic did.
That person speaks from within the party. If he speaks less carefully, they will simply eject and ignore him, and then the party wouldn't even have someone in their circle calling these actions "a bit low."

Self-distancing is a tool and in this case you are using it wrong.

Often, the problem when making such choices, is that fear short-circuits the thinking process. "I may switch to Clojure and not find a job; NO JOB? POVERTY! POVERTY? DEATH!" whereas a more correct thought process would be: "I may switch to Clojure, enjoy it but not find a job. How long can I do without a job?"

This will allow you to explore and discover the safety nets you have around you. From experience as a former doom-thinker: such safety nets are more prevalent than you'd think.

You can't base duties just on emissions taxes paid. (Setting aside practical record-keeping concerns,) If factory A pays no emissions taxes paid because they're based in a country without carbon taxes and factory B pays no emissions taxes because they're in a country with no carbon taxes but also are using carbon-free energy sources and factory C is located in a country with carbon taxes and pays those taxes, should we charge B the same as A in duties? Should A pay more than C by the exact amount of the carbon taxes? If C implements an energy efficiency program to cut its consumption in half, should A now pay less? How could B "prove it"? How do we control such that A can't represent itself as B?

At some point, these other countries are sovereign entities, and it's going to be difficult to dig into the on-the-ground facts at each factory and step along the supply chain to determine emissions.
Propofol is regularly used as a general anesthetic, or immediately before application of a stronger anesthetic/hypnotic.
> But at least the elites got ridiculously wealthy.

Not just the rich, it also lead to the creation of a Chinese middle-class by lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty and developing the country as proper economy [0].

A factor that regularly gets underplayed in favor of a narrative where US Americans, still living in the wealthiest country on the planet, blame the Chinese for "missing out".

Yes, just because the US is a wealthy country doesn't mean everybody there is rich, but the wealth discrepancy is a home-made problem and not something China forced on the US.

In that context, this turn on China just feels extremely weird. If you'd explain to anybody 30 years ago how China would develop, the progress they would make and how they embrace capitalism, most people would probably consider you crazy.

Even more so if you then tell them that the US would spite and fight them for it. It's like no matter what they do it's wrong: If they are miserable they need "intervention", if they are doing great they need "containment".

If all you can say about what's being discussed is that it's a simple difference of opinion, you are far better off just not saying anything at all. You are effectively trying to debase constructive conversation and turn it into a meta argument, because you can't actually make a real one.

In general and all else being equal, when you tax something you get less of that thing. When you subsidize something, you get more of that thing.

There's a pretty strong argument that overall we're subsidizing fossil fuel consumption more than we're taxing it.

I didn't downvote your comment, but it seems you've misunderstood the core concepts under discussion here. Renderless isn't inherent to Vue in any way — the problems it addresses are equally present in React-based libraries. You can easily override render functions and the given bindings in both Vue and React, but given libraries that aren't built to be easily extendible, this can often lead to maintenance nightmares. Renderless seeks to counteract that, giving guidelines to architect libraries in a way that doesn't introduce considerable complexity on the library side but makes it a lot more extensible on the consumer side.

What the paper is actually saying (been a while since I read it but this was my takeaway a long time ago) is that make works well, just don't call it recursively. For example if you use inclusion to add additional targets rather than re-invoking make recursively to build them, then make can do its job well, with an accurate view of dependencies, without a bunch of the pitfalls.
