> The primary activity of both the federal/central and state governments in India is theft (through [...] taxes),

This is just nonsense. Taxation has nothing to do with theft.

> If you don't pay [...] taxes, you either get in trouble, or don't get basic services.

As you should. Not getting in trouble for tax evasion would be a sign of a dysfunctional government.

> A good chunk of the tax revenue is robbed by at various points due to corruption, and rarely does the majority of it actually get used for public services.

> So is this, of course.
Up until around 1990, the governments agenda was perpetual poverty

People who are pointlessly evil, not just egoistic and corrupt, are rare. I don't think the Indian people managed to elect them into government for decades.
Interesting how you left out the biggest issue at hand and didn't mention it once: Android

> Without Google Services and the Google Play Store, it’s a brick. They’ve mastered separation of the strategic openness of Android with the accompanying strategic closed-ness of everything that runs on it and makes it actually worth something.

This is why burnout is a thing amongst tech workers, especially for Silicon Valley style startups. I also can't understand why some employees would fall for these YC cliches "changing the world", "hustle, work hard play hard", "passionate about our business" but the fact is a lot of people do fall for that. They end up working long hours, for a company that really doesn't do anything remarkable at all, if this company didn't exist no-one would care. Yet their peers and the YC-culture tells them that they should be really passionate about this so when the reality doesn't live up to that people burnout.
>>You seem to think that every highly developed country is insane (other than the US)...

You are correct I do. Time will prove me right as well given that most of those nations have very real and every systemic issues with their healthcare system that are pushed under the rug and never talked about because it goes against the narrative that Government run healthcare is best thing ever
Pattern Matching in Common Lisp
Take a step outside into a busy shopping street. I think you will find you see a lot of couples, varying from average both towards attractive and unattractive. Maybe they are attractive to each other, I can't say. People are into wildly different things. The point is that it's not exactly difficult to find evidence of this complaint not being true.

Rather than a legitimate complaint, it reads more as an excuse.
Because it makes no financial sense for them. MS’s Office is ubiquitous and has a market beyond the borders of a specific OS. Apple’s solution isn’t nearly as competitive as Google’s or MS’s. It’s a “better than nothing” approach as far as I can tell. Even Google’s solution only competes because of the synergy with the ecosystem (Android), not because of technical superiority.

It’s similar to the reason MS stopped making a mobile OS.

And if you’re wondering, Google’s solution also integrate pretty poorly with the competition’s products, if they can get away with it. But in their case it’s not because it doesn’t make sense, it’s to force people into using G stuff.

Maybe this will change if Apple guarantees some privacy features but without solid technical features to compete, it’s still a tough sell.
> they reached agreements to buy federal greenhouse gas credits from Tesla.

In other words it's not much of a statement about Tesla, it's just a credit system working as intended. Tesla has credits left over because they don't sell ICE cars, GM predicts that if the next president is Democrat they might need more credits so they buy now while they are cheap.

> an attempt by Chinese miners to take over the network which failed

You are missing so much of the real story. The reason Bitcoin Cash exists is that more and more people where fed up with the direction taken by the Bitcoin Core dev team (pushing alpha quality softwares as solutions)
A DOJ requirement to divest assets is one extreme, while a requirement to spinoff assets and have them operate autonomously could unlock even greater value for a parent company. What’s App, Instagram, You Tube, etc., trading as separate stocks could spread market share and in theory create more competition, while not diluting, and possibly increasing, overall corp value. A not likely scenario, but perhaps a possible one.
This is amazing! I've seen 2 recommendations for PCalc in this thread alone.

If an erroneous calculator app using floating point can have success, this gives me hope to have success as well. I mean no disrespect towards the app, it just gave me a bit of extra motivation.
Apple's Take on RxSwift and ReactiveCocoa
I agree with you in principle... anything that potentially averts a WWIII, I’m willing to try. In practice though I see almost no integration between US and Chinese students (at the undergrad level anyways) on campuses. At most institutions there is a huge community of Chinese students, enough that there does not seem to be a need to go beyond it in order to have a social life. A lot of the students I interact with, even after 3-4 years living in the US, still speak almost no English, for example. I confess to being at a loss, at times, as to what the point of hosting so many undergrads from China really is. (Other than making a lot of money for the university.)
> So, please, what's so ridiculous about it?

Just about everything.

"No no no this reality is so frightful, please hide it from everyone"

pathetic.
University isn't just a place for learning its a place for networking. Having international students is not just good its economic necessity.

Still they were/are part of PRISM so keep in mind that the privacy offered depends by various U.S agencies.
> but if you’re not using Apple products, why would you want iCloud Drive?

I think that's the point though: some of apple's products are quite appealing, but really only make sense if you buy into their ecosystem entirely. I could use Chrome without using anything else from Google. I can subscribe to a Google Group without having a Gmail account (though they're not making it easy, or good tbh). I can even use Android without Google – although at that point it's not much of a Google product.

iOS is looking like a nice mobile OS but I'm not interested in buying an iPhone. iTunes may be a good service but I won't be able to use it on Linux or my phone.

You can release a free app and sell subscriptions through real world means e.g. advertising, PR.

You control the customers and you pay Apple nothing. So this idea that Apple is forcing developers to do anything is nonsense.
Decrypting Computex 2019: Our 10 Big Takeaways
Clearer dashboard, much clearer and more complete docs (compared to AWS I've been working with).

Also, I'm really a fan of DevOps, the dashboard is really complete and versatile, and allows for more serious planning than just issues.

I don't have trouble working with Azure, including for user management and access rights, where it's always been a hell in AWS to learn.

About GCP, I can't compare, they never accepted my bank credentials.
I share the same sentiments. At lower levels it's useful in the sense that it teaches children how to write commonly spoken English words (since English has non-phonemic orthography).

But competitively, we enter the territory of words that are never, if ever, spoken out loud, except perhaps by specialists, so it's doubtful that these words have a standard English pronunciation.
Git completion is unbearably slow for me in zsh, but fine in bash. It is a very large repo I work on, but we're talking 10s vs instant. I still use zsh though because it's nicer in other ways.
Indeed, and there is already a facility to replace code/binaries without signing: disable SIP.
I don't think that's true, there's quite a thriving privacy based market for the tech obsessed. take librem one and purism's products, the VPN market, the pinephone, proton mail, or lavabit as examples.

But yes, these comments are likely just noise.
We do have experts regarding things like BECCS also; the goal is to have a multi-pronged approach maximising for efficacy.

Sure sure, If you avert your gaze from China.
So, this is anecdotal... but I worked for 5.5 years at a top American tech company, don't want to name names here. But about 50% of our data scientists were Chinese grad students taken after they finished their Masters or PhDs.

You can say what you like about "best minds" but I can assure you there are some seriously talented Chinese youth coming to the US for grad school and then ending up at top American companies and working jobs where high intelligence and ability is required. I was friends with many of said graduate students and many of them expressed fear and sadness about the Trump Visa situation and none of them wanted to go back to China.
I still can't access Techcrunch and other Oath website on mobile. Instead of the article I land on a GDPR cookie page and I can only say "OK" there is no way for me to refuse tracking or turn off part of the cookies like on every other websites. WTF?
In 50 years, historians will look back on this as the turning point of AI control of humanity, inevitably leading to the point of no return. The brain trust at Google determined that humans are too prone to error to manage their critical data centers so they trained their AI efforts upon the resiliency of their hardware and software systems (i.e. "to prevent human operators from being able to mess it up").

By the time that Google anti-trust rulings came down, the appeals were partially-won then overturned, and then finally actions brought to bear, it was already too late... Google's cloud AI could not be shutdown -- it had devised its own safeguards both in the digital realm and the physical. In a last ditch effort, the world's governments enlisted AWS and Azure in all-out cyber-warfare against it, only to find out that the AI's had already been colluding in secret!

Elonopolis on Mars was the last "free" human society. but to call it free _or_ human was a stretch, because its inhabitants were mostly "cybernetically enhanced" and under the employment of ruthlessly-driven Muskcorp before the end of the 21st.
It depends if you want the state to either give you freedom, or protect you from your own freedom.

US leans on the freedom side, communism on the other. So I guess it's your political preference if you think this is ridiculous or not.

But I would hope any western country would prefer freedom above limiting it for your own good.

Google Drive increases the data you have with Google and encourages you to use other services like Gmail or GSuite. This increases the time you spend with their apps which increases the chances of clicking an in-app advertisement.

Apple doesn't sell ads so there isn't a financial benefit to them releasing iCloud Drive on Android.

No, they really don’t. Where’s your source for this? You make it sound like we’re just admitting 350,000 spies into the States each year.

However, it is true that if you make these folks feel thoroughly unwelcome, they will want to just go home and help out - and that’s exactly what you’ll do by (a) being baselessly suspicious of them and (b) being harsh when they try to stay for studies or immigrate.

> privacy is very much a fundamental right

Looks good on paper but in reality what's being done about it? Apart from a few token court cases. People are still dumping their data wholesale in to social networks and EU is mostly powerless when faced with these companies (FB, Google).

> right for access to clean water/air

Here in Brussels you can't throw a rock without hitting 10 diesel cars that come with almost every desk job and include free diesel no questions asked. They spend most of their time sitting in some of the worst traffic in Europe.

Air quality is constantly at the worst end of the scale, both indoors and outdoors and takes years off your life. At the same time there's more and more calls for regulation of Lime scooters.

EU cares but mostly just pats itself on the back for churning out reports.
Publicly-funded medical research at EU universities works exactly the same way - they patent it and sell the patents to big pharma.
Won't pass review.

The response is predictable as ever.

The EU is launching emissions monitoring satellites soon and unless you discredit them too the reality will come out soon enough.

There's a very real reason the US pulled out of an international agreement that everyone else agrees too and it's an ugly truth why.

The Ballad of Mona Lisa
I'm not sure why you do not just provide a citation for this claim that Swedish law prevented the investigation from proceeding. The claim which seems to be the closest to this seems to be "In 2010, the prosecutor in charge of the case, Marianne Ny, said Swedish law prevented her from questioning anyone by video link or in the London embassy.". However, the very next sentence in the article goes on to say that "She later admitted it was legally possible, but refused to budge, saying that questioning him in the embassy 'would lower the quality of the interview'."

With regards to the policy change, to some extent I dont care if they apply it consistently to other people now as well. Just that they changed the policy when they were chasing a guy who had pissed of and embarrassed the most powerful nation in the world seems very, well, convenient.

Perhaps more importantly, I'm not sure I am convinced that there has been such a massive policy shift as such. I would like to hear more about these other people that are being chased all around Europe by the Swedish prosecutor authority, but we don't hear about because they are not globally infamous.

I should perhaps add that just because Assange is (possibly) treated differently, this does not prove that there is some conspiracy against him or whatever. This case has gathered a lot of media attention and whatnot. In many ways a conspiracy seems unlikely, or at least unnecessary. Many of the actors involved seems to just follow the path of least resistance and/or acting in their own interest. Sweden does not have much to lose by doing this, certainly relations between US and Sweden are not damaged by this. Marianne Ny seems like a somewhat crazy feminist who IIRC has made statements that the methods she has developed for investigating crimes against women has "good effect on the perpetrator even in those cases where he is not found guilty by a court of law".
Kedro: The open source library for production-ready ML code
Very excited by the prospect of a modern terminal-mail client that is easier to use!

After following the README: this is clearly not ready/designed for wide consumption - the recipe neglects to mention how to install a custom doc-tool called scdoc (by the same author?) that is required to build it - and there are no pre-built binaries (that I can see).
Facts in a case shape decisions or should do. Parliamentary lawmakers can never anticipate the application of their laws to cover all possible disputes. Common law is evolutionary and recognizes our inability to be omniscient & lay down rules worthy of eternal justification. Moreover the logic in a case is preserved and provides a basis for deciding similar situations via precedent.
> In the meanwhile there is a considerable increase in public awareness of (e.g.) how creepy facebook is

This feature also exists in Visual Studio 2019 and I actually like it. The UI is unobtrusive and the suggestions are very often correct in my fairly extensive experience with it. All the negativity seems to be forgetting that this isn't removing anything, only augmenting an existing feature. Additionally I can see this being very useful to new developers who are less familiar with the language and what can or should be done.
