> Seems likely there was a failure of the FinCen Know Your Customer (KYC) rules

In this case, it seems nothing has failed. From what I read, news of this were all around, and they knew their customer more than very well.

Anybody going to launder that much of money can setup or buy his own bank and hire an army of financial lawyers to keep it compliant on paper.

All those CFT, KYC laws do sound as completely nonsensical and ineffectual in light of that. Why to go after money laundry clients, when they should really go after the bank laundry owner
The OP is about different oligarchs... Not the same case.
That was an attempt at humor.

The link is to a very long and boring PDF that summarises the various pros and cons of different waste management approaches based on hundreds of Life Cycle Analyses. Overall recycling is often the best choice and landfill invariably the worst.

It doesn't really mesh with the worldview presented by the linked article(s) where it would appear to be claimed that the only ones to ever take a calm, logical view of the matter were professionally contrarian journalists, who concluded it was all worse than doing nothing 20 years ago and still believe that today.

> So we have the public funding a private airport, which is a part of the national infrastructure, which hires private companies to run the things, which are defended and secured by public tax payer dollars.

In an ideal world, this is because the Government decided it would be cheaper to subsidise a private company doing it, rather than doing it itself. Whether or not this is true -- or indeed was entered into in good faith -- is a case-by-case sorta thing.
So are power plants and water treatment plants. Would you not agree those are part of national infrastructure?
But doesn't booze like to mix with water?
That would likely lead to a much more serious criminal charge because it's more closely related to terrorism. People who are arrested for making jokes about having a bomb in their suitcase when going through customs at an airport find out very quickly how seriously those kinds of things are taken, particularly in a country with a relatively recent history of terrorist bombings and a high state of alert for terrorist activity.
We do have video of what appears to be Iranians removing an undetonated mine from one of the ships. It is entirely possible, and it is known, that the Iranian military isn't exactly cohesive like other countries. There are fractures and some rogue elements. It's entirely possible a rogue element did this, or it's possible it came from the top down.

Iran knows that the US public doesn't believe its own US intelligence after Iraq, so it could easily be behind the attacks knowing that the US is on a leash of public opinion to do anything about it.

No, I was defending the use of FizzBuzz as a “Bozo filter”. But FizzBuzz is so commonplace that it is meaningless.

I have been able to weed out candidates by asking them to do an isOdd() function as part of a pair programming exercise. It was still the Bozo filter before I gave them harder problems. Similar in complexity. But even that, I’ve done with an IDE with a skeletal class and failing corresponding unit tests.
Lee Kuan Yew was no saint but this is at best overwrought.

Once you’re independent you’ve won, there’s no harm and a great deal of benefit in keeping relations with the former colonial power good.

What you said about Yew during the expulsion of Singapore from Malaysia is at best completely irrelevant. The Malays wanted Singapore out so they could run Malaysia for the benefit of the Malays and the vote for expelling Singapore was 126-0 with Singaporean delegates not present. Also, let’s be frank, Lee Kuan Yew would have preferred to be PM of an undivided Malaysia than a city-state.

Lee’s record on inter ethnic unity is actually pretty great. The quota system in allocation of public housing and in politics means Singapore has Indian and Malay parliamentarians in proportion with their population.
This article was great and I resonated with it. I grew up in Texas, lived in New Jersey commuting into Manhattan for about ten years, then moved back. Anecdotally the differences do seem to be regional. I have friends on both sides of "red" and "blue" on Facebook and in person. I'd probably side best with "grey", but can run in both groups (standing out no matter where I go).

What's interesting to me is the severe level of misunderstanding of each group to the other. I generally avoid media, don't have TV service, avoid Facebook, etc. But in some rare life instances it gets forced on me and I see what seems to be a media portrayal of what is just a characterization of the "other side", whichever side that may be. In my experience, both sides have good motives for the most part and truly care for and love other people. And in my experience, both sides think that the other side doesn't love people or have good intentions because they don't agree with X, while fully misunderstanding or dismissing the issue. It's almost like when you hear some distant relative who's overtly racist and you leave your nice peaceful sphere of influence and realize that there are people who really hate others on a regular basis. And of course, there are jerks on both sides and loving people on both sides.

All of that said, I see the polarization growing. It's to a quite scary level and my wife and I have discussed that it wouldn't be surprising to see another civil war within our lifetime. Not that we expect it...but not that we don't expect it either. The confirmation bias is strong everywhere and it's only getting worse. There seems to be no real communication going on at a national level, only talking heads who don't really represent their side well. Any conversation I do see seems to fall back into political rhetoric spouting party lines, and never seem to get to the heart of people or issues. Media complicates this, parties complicate this, and people just wanting to fit in complicates this.

I don't know a solution...but I do feel like there needs to be one soon.
Microsoft isn't that much behind it.

The app in question is used by retail employees at hundreds of locations to manage inventory.

It's still a CRUD app, but it's very much the use case for a SPA.

This is a (correct) view that is frustratingly underreported.
Ironically this was very true in imperial Japan. I recently listened to Craig Nelson's "Pearl Harbor: From Infamy to Greatness" and this was stressed repeatedly.

The factionalism, not just between the civilian government and the military, but between the Navy and the Army was vast. There was no unitary government, in any sense. Their Navy never thought they could defeat the United States over a protracted war, but the internal factionalism forced their hand.
Hah, that is an excellent book. I remember it pissed off one of my friends who claimed that slow practice is the best way to learn. Glad I didn't listen to him, I use these techniques when learning all kinds of stuff.

> You did a switch-a-roo between the perspective of individual programmers to the perspective of organizations that produce software, and I think that doing so muddies the situation a bit.

> Personally, I like to get paid in money, because I can easily turn money into things like food and shelter.

And how is that relevant to the question of licences? Do people who hire you to work on GPL software not pay you for your work?! What difference does it make to you in that situation whether the result of the hour of work that you are paid for is licenced under GPL or under a proprietary licencse?

> Also, point of pedantry: Simply owning exclusive rights to a particular piece of software does not give you a monopoly, and framing things in such hyperbolic terms does not do anything to advance the conversation.

OK, so, suppose you have worked for a few years on a proprietary code base, you know your way around it, you are an expert on that code base and how to extend and modify it. If your claim is true that the owner of that software does not have a monopoly on work on that software, please explain how you can use your expertise on that code base to earn money without working for or with the permission of the owner of that software?

> The rest of your post is pseudoscientific woo about natural "cycles".

Please enlighten me on what "real science" is then. If there are no cycles in the climate, is it purely driven by randomness, exponential or asymptotic growth? How did Earth's climate even get into a state of stasis? Why do ice ages & warm periods occur & cycle back? Why/how do warming & cooling trends eventually reverse?

Does science not utilize models? Is there not experiments & observations to back up models? What about the Philosophy of Science? Does our preconceptions influence how we model phenomena?

> especially as we could successfully counter their intolerant ideology with rational arguments, right?

No. It is not possible to convince someone that doesn't want homosexuals to have the same rights have other humans, that they should have the same rights, with "rational argument." First-hand experience. Sometimes introducing them to confident gays who are proud of their personhood works, though that could just result in an attempt to "save" the homosexual from their sinful actions. Another way is peer pressure via zeitgeist, which is happening now.

> But the ballot Eich voted for passed, and the homosexuals weren't met with fists in pistols in California afterwards (at least not any more than everyone else)

Systemic implementation of dehumanizing laws results in a cultural approval of acts of violence. If tomorrow the state of California said to you "your race (whatever it may be) can no longer marry," how would that feel? It'd feel like fists and pistols time to me. Sometimes that happens, and we get black panthers. What else is someone to do when they are treated as sub humans? Kowtow? "Please, oppressors, hear my rational pleas. I don't mean to be intolerant of your viewpoint, but I argue that I am human."

>We're already at the "fists or pistols" stage, with mainstream media praising the milkshaking and excusing the Berkeley rioters.

I don't speak for the mainstream media. I blame them for the rampant gun violence and uptick in suicide in this country, for what it's worth. At the same time, there are good investigative outlets exposing the hypocrisy and crimes of oppressive government officials. Like all human institution, it's imperfect.

> Please, ask yourself, are you completely sure you're not one of the baddies?

I ask myself this nearly every day. So far the answer is still "no." Pretty easy to say so: I don't do things that support intolerance (insofar as intolerance of intolerance doesn't count as intolerance in my value system, which is the direct representation of my view on this discussion).
I moved from SF to NYC after quitting my job in SF with nothing lined up because of how godawful it was outside of work from a social standpoint (found something decent with an awesome raise in NYC after about a week do it worked out.

This is cool. For dev, the docker runtime consumes an enormous amount of host system resources. Even with a 16gb RAM host machine, docker is really resource heavy for a development environment. If this can cut down on host system resource usage, that's a major win.
Historically, this is false. See Sun, HP, SGI, IBM, and a good host of others.

One way to test for humility is have them do a programming challenge that isn't too difficult (it's not about whether they remember the algorithm for merge sorts), but has a few common pitfalls and arbitrary choices, and see how they react when you ask questions about their choices or make suggestions to them. Can they explain a choice? Can they follow a suggestion (or correctly and politely argue that it's unnecessary)?

Btw, it's also possible for the lab environment to be unrealistically bad. You have all these electrodes and wires attached to your head and other body parts, sleeping in an unfamiliar environment, if you need to use the bathroom then you have to tell the technician to come unhook you from the wires and then re-hook you when you're back... and on the subject of bright LEDs, there were a couple in the room that I covered up with spare items of clothing the last time I got a sleep study.

But yes, there might well be much worse problems at home. I think a lab sleep study is best suited for detecting problems like sleep apnea, where it doesn't matter when you fell asleep as long as you did eventually. Though even for that, you'd probably have to make sure your sleeping position is about the same.
So they're just taking advantage of the current legal loophole that bombs and drones are treated differently, despite the fact that they can be similarly dangerous to airplanes?

I setup Home Assistant with the Raspberry Pi Bluetooth module to detect when my fiance and I were home or away (to turn on/off lights, turn off WeMo switches to the curling iron that my fiance always forgets). After a few weeks of forgetting I had it running, I logged back into the Home Assistant dashboard to notice that it was tracking nearly all of my neighbors Android phones, iPhones, headphones, TVs - when they were home, when they were away. Entirely passively. Most devices had names that could very easily be linked back to the user - i.e. "Joe's iPhone".

Just to reiterate - this was _entirely passive_. I did nothing but enable the Bluetooth presence detection module in Home Assistant on my Raspberry Pi, and over time it built up a detailed log of when nearly all of my neighbors were home or away.

Luckily I was able to quickly turn off tracking of devices that weren't explicitly enabled.

What confuses me, is that I thought iPhones had randomized MAC addresses? In the Home Assistant known_devices.yaml file, you can give aliases to phones based on their MAC address. And my iPhone has never changed it's MAC address, because Home Assistant continues to track it with ease. Not entirely sure how that works.
