Even to know (in the double-blind trials "gold standard" sense) whether a medicine works, you need to diagnose reliably what it is supposed to treat.

But the DSM is full of illnesses that are really a half dozen completely different conditions with the same (or just similar) apparent symptoms, each with its own cause, and no reliable way to distinguish it from the others except that maybe drug X helps one, and drugs Y, Z, W, and V are useless for it. Likewise, the one that Y helps, and the one that responds to Z, and the rest where nothing seems to work. In double-blind trials, V, W, X, Y, and Z are all "shown" to be equally useless.

That does NOT mean V, W, X, Y, and Z don't work. The "gold standard" is as subject to GIGO as everything else. You simply cannot tell anything about what it means without looking at underlying facts.
We wouldn't use Democratic People's Republic of Korea to interpret the meaning of "democratic".
Since you made me curious I read the why :)

> The Soviet whalers, Berzin wrote, had been sent forth to kill whales for little reason other than to say they had killed them. They were motivated by an obligation to satisfy obscure line items in the five-year plans that drove the Soviet economy, which had been set with little regard for the Soviet Union’s actual demand for whale products. “Whalers knew that no matter what, the plan must be met!” Berzin wrote. The Sovetskaya Rossiya seemed to contain in microcosm everything Berzin believed to be wrong about the Soviet system: its irrationality, its brutality, its inclination toward crime.
Part of this comes from the willingness of EE standards bodies to standardize on stuff that is covered by patents.

I was going to say "part of the blame" but it was Qualcomm's choice to take advantage of this. Rambus is another bad guy in this regard.
Perhaps it would be better to talk about the complete failure of planned economies[1] (centralized) VS the success of market economies[2](distributed). I guess you could do both systems under a totalitarian regime or a democratic regime.

Most pro-socialist talk in the US today is probably talking about a market economy with a better social safety nets for the regular population (at the cost of the wealthy), something like the Nordic model[3], not a re-imagined Soviet Union.

There's no way any discussion of Socialism, Communism, Capitalism, Marxism, Leninism, Stalinism, Whateverism on the internet will bear any fruit today. No one even knows what they're talking about.

Because capitalism at least takes some signals into account through its pricing mechanisms; it only ignores externalities.
It’s even worse in this case. For Qualcomm’s patented IP to be a part of the standard they agreed to license it on FRAND. They didn’t.

Not sure if that is true. Sometimes adding a label simply adds unlimited anxiety.
A few things that still make me not love FF:

- Going full screen on Youtube takes longer than Chrome at least on OS X and there is a momentarily black screen.

- Moving the cursor to the top of a full screen video in Chrome brings down the OS X menu bar this is useful if you want to check the time/date/other menu bar activity, in FF nothing happens when moving the mouse to the top of the screen in full screen mode.

- When a page requests to send web notifications FF basically pretty much blocks the entire browser until you answer whether you want to allow the notification or not, this is very annoying if you visit many sites for the first time that ask for notification permission, which apparently a lot of them nowadays do, making it more apparent now that I switched to FF from Chrome.

There might be settings you can change to fix these, but even if that's the case not having them set as default makes me question whether I made the right choice making the switch.

Without the OLED screen Apple wouldn't be able to charge $1000 for an iPhone either. And I bet those $1000 that not one of apple's customers, not a single one, bought an iPhone instead of an iPod touch because it had a Qualcomm chip in it. Even in later years half of iPhones include an Intel chip not a Qualcomm one; it has made zero difference. 99.9% of customers don't even know Qualcomm is a thing a won't care if you told them.
If most of the well off were poor when they were young, would that be the optimal solution?
Socialism was supposed to be a transitory period towards true communism, so e.g. in the Soviet Union you had the communist party ruling over a socialist nation. Using the two words interchangeably in this situation is reasonable.
Huawei depended on the proprietary bits of Android ("Google Play Services"?). In contrast, Microsoft is knowledgeable enough to use only the permissively-licensed parts of Chrome as the point of departure for their fork.

Also, if Huawei were to fork Android they'd be responsible keeping their fork of a huge code base secure by push security updates, and Microsoft is much more likely to be able to do that competently than Huawei is.

This reminds me once again that the weakest link in the privacy chain today is the mobile phone number, especially since governments in many countries have forced people to link their number to a real ID. It's essentially become a ID number by proxy. However, in the case of the article, the reporter should know to inform her sources not to enter _any_ information linking to her real-world identity into their electronic devices.

I guess I phrased that poorly.
What I was trying to convey was that by horizontally scaling (like a comment in this thread said), Amazon, like Apple can create this ecosystem in which they provide consumers an incentive to be a part of and stay within it. Essentially, they're making Prime look better (which is not a problem), but once they have these customers using these Prime services, it'll be hard for them to change (similar to how people who own MacBooks lean a little bit toward buying an iPhone for the ecosystem integration), essentially "locking" them within the Prime ecosystem, giving them control over pricing and other parameters. At first glance, buying Boost doesn't sound like a bad option, but by horizontally scaling their ecosystem, they get better control over pricing since they make a nice ecosystem of products for their customers to use.

You are missing a lot of understanding not just on the initial cause of the 92 riots but the effects including racial violence - which is exactly the sort of thing Nazis would get up to.

Can you quote some experts? And, preferably not some far right quack blaming twitter for him losing.

Likewise, you seem to be caught up in some epiphenomenon issues - you blame the internet for these attacks yet similar attacks and much worse ones preceeded the internet. Therefore deplatforming is a red herring, you're literally just using tragic attacks to push deplatforming messages you disagree with - and I don't like those messages either, but censorship isn't the answer.
And you can also buy the company that designed PowerPC chips better than IBM and Motorola could back in the day and have them kickstart designing custom ARM chips.

very informative, but I think the simple answer: Because they can and they WILL get away with it. I mean the richer you are the more you get away with, heck even murder (ask O.J.). I'm a poor fullstack dev/freelancer (Earn 30-80k depending on pipeline, I really never know some months are great some we have to ask family for $$). I obey all the laws because I can't afford a ticket. I'm poor by choice a bit though, I work for a few startups sometimes taking equity for trade in hopes one of them makes me rich and to build my resume, though I've been at this 3 years and could probably get a full time gig (I live rural so remote is a must though). I also freelance and work on side projects to try and get my own SaaS up, if I didn't have ADHD things might look better. :D

Just because the UI isn't very driver-centric doesn't mean the car isn't awesome.

When you're not fiddling with the UI, you can accelerate faster than many porsches or vettes. Or if you're in bumper to bumper traffic, you can let the car drive.

There are many socialisms. The weakest form that many socialists (such as myself) don't consider socialism is social democracy, which accepts the market as legitimate and attempts to "fix it" or otherwise tame it with regulations and social spending. Obviously, this doesn't work because eventually, the ruling class decides it wants more money and undoes the regulations - the story of America since the last Gilded Age.

The socialisms to the left of social democracy focus on fundamentally changing the basis of the economic and therefore social system. These interventions focus on workers owning the means of production. In "market socialism" this means the market is left intact, but the old capitalist class is eliminated or otherwise largely disempowered in favor of worker ownership of private companies. If we go further left, we get state capitalism, where a democratic state owns the means of production and uses it to serve the people (with various levels of employee empowerment in the workplace). Communism is supposed to be a state where the state, no longer needing to suppress class struggle, fades away as being unnecessary. Many of these ideas are up for interpretation. I currently think that at least large parts of the security state would fade away, but am unsure about other public services and see the need for central authorities to coordinate on environmental issues now that we are facing catastrophe.

In the early part of the 20th century, "socialists" and "communists" distinguished themselves from each other. "Socialists" claimed the mantle of an electoral road to one of these outcomes, while "communists" focused on militant revolution, seeing the bourgeois state as hopelessly captured by the ruling classes / reactionaries / counter-revolutionaries.

Anywho, I hope that helps defines terms for y'all.

I’d rather pick from obscure words I know than at random. In my case the words might lean tech/business/news/sports, but I’m sure I could come up with a good list. It might be interesting to try and generate passwords from a corpus of email and/or browsing history... assuming you blacklist sensitive subjects.
So in that case, Microsoft with the XBox, Sony, and Nintendo are “monopolies” since you can’t sell a digital or physical game without paying them.

> Heart disease is not an issue for me as I exercise every single day and eat, and cancer is not a concern as I do the above and anything else will not affect it significantly.

If only it were that simple. Yes, exercise greatly decreases the risk of certain things as a healthy body is just that much more resilient. However, please get yourself checked at your regular 10k, 20k, 30k miles. Life happens in funny ways. Don't be an edge case. Also, if you live in California, you have to be super careful of all the cancer causing things that are only known to the state of California.
I would also buy it.
> The current leadership actively destroys history to suit their new narratives including razing of ancient history to help the young forget.

I'm not sure how you came to this conclusion, are you referring to culture revolution? That's about 50 years ago , and things are different now. Actually the government is inclined to bury those periods of story, and promoting more tradition and ancient history.
You realize those “parental control apps” gave a third party complete access to your child’s phone and were able to intercept all of your cbild’s communication.

Do you think parents were aware of that? Are you okay with that? If you want to control your child’s phone, you are free to use MDM software where you control provisioning and the profiles.
Thanks! Perhaps people like me (never used TOTP outside of my bank's security token; don't have a smart phone; no experience with password managers) are common enough to mention this in the FAQ?

As it is, even though 1Password is only $3/month, the handful of projects I have on PyPI aren't revenue generating and I only make about one update a year, so I'm unlikely to switch to that just to manage PyPI entries.

Which means figuring out what the no cost solutions are, which is another barrier to entry that might be lowered by mentioning it in the FAQ.

I tend to agree with you that we're past this point and market economies offer bountiful opportunities to perform minor tweaks with major outcomes and improved efficiency, if you're more left leaning that may mean systems like basic income. Even in many countries with socialized medicine, it's quite common to have hospitals operate as businesses, hiring doctors, performing research and marketing and just billing the government and insurance companies in some cases for the resulting healthcare provided in the end.

Then I go to reddit and find stuff like /r/latestagecapitalism on the frontpage where they... quite blatantly would rather have a soviet style system and wonder what went wrong.

> I have noticed that when I turn on privacy settings on Firefox, some major websites are broken

In some cases it is because Firefox's tracking protection is based off of a curated list of websites [1]. This breaks a site I built called reVddit [2].

In my uneducated opinion, this list is weird. I had some discussion about this with Mozilla devs [3]. In that message chain, devs acknowledged reVddit is not doing anything wrong, rather it is reddit who could infringe users' privacy. Yet it is the non-infringing site that is rendered broken.

Further, the devs' suggestions for remedy are not workable. They propose moving requests to the server so that reVddit.com makes the requests to reddit.com. There are multiple problems with this,

* It would hide more code from users

* Reddit rate-limits requests coming from a single source

* Infrastructure becomes expensive on what is supposed to be a low cost website

My conversation with devs was good but needs more. I don't understand their point and they do not seem to understand mine.

Yes. What many of the well-intentioned people (many with libertarian/cypherpunk/anarchist ideals) in the blockchain space are building now might become enablers of the perfect control system.

Zero-knowledge proofs or RingCTs? Great, require disclosure and reporting of proofs or view keys to the man, who will enforce it for all interacting parties.

"You can't enforce bans on running nodes"? Well, start enforcing strict control of the public IP space so everyone address has a responsible individual behind it and put severe penalties on unlicensed crypto/privacy enabled assets/what have you.

I am thinking more and more we need to seriously consider moving the web to something like I2P or Freenet before it's too late.

I don't want to dismiss your experience... but space is a bad example here. The USSR was far ahead of the US on basically every "first" except landing people on the moon (which was important! It just wasn't everything.). I'm skeptical of SpaceX. While they make claims about Mars, they've mainly innovated in regaining access to space (which was lost through lack of investment) and making it cheaper (in an impressive way). These aren't wholly new capabilities.
>Gab is a business and, as such, is not required to adhere to the first amendment.

Why shouldn't businesses be required to adhere to the First Amendment if they function as the modern public square? The only reason they get out of that requirement is Section 230 of the Communication Decency Act, a law that exists to make sure that websites such as Facebook can't be held liable for how they moderate their site provided its content remains within US law.

This is the definition of privatizing gains, socializing losses.
