The rule of law comes when people try to protect their properties. It is hard to apply when you have nothing to lose. If you want to apply it from the top, you will need a dictator to do that. Take Chinese IP issue as an example, there are more and more laws to protect IP (of course, still not as good as western standard), the reason is that Chinese companies start to develop their own IP, and they need to protect them. The same for private properties, there was no law before 90s I believe, now people own things, their properties will be protected.

No, the Netherlands "solved" the problem because they've experienced one flood too many. The more obvious the problem is to an average citizen, the easier it is to gather enough of support to actually tackle it.

This is totally different because it's gradual. Humans aren't good at thinking long-term, so it's more difficult to gather the support for projects that benefit us in the long run. The glaciers are melting, the seas are rising, but a congressman brought a snowball to congress so we don't have to do shit that inconveniences us now for something that benefits us in the long run.
Isn't it very common for a currency to be pegged to another, though? Dozens of currencies are pegged to the EUR or USD, and the two CFA francs are not very different, except that the French treasury is legally bound to guarantee free convertibility between CFA franc and euro, unlike say the US federal reserve with Cuban peso.

Actually China is the reason I believe Africa has a real chance of success in the future.

That's my point too. It's just business. Democracy, human rights and freedom have no value.

Saudi Arabia beheads, hangs people in public squares, butchers reporters and does everything an "evil" government could do. However it is praised(by the US) as a great "beautiful" country and gets the latest "beautiful" military gear to spread its "goodness" to other countries such Yemen.

If there is one example that clears the fog about the US's stance on business and human rights that is Saudi Arabia.

I'm pretty sure the US would do business with a Nazi Europe as well if Hitler would have persuaded the US to become business partners instead of war enemies.

>we’ll see a resurgence in piracy

I am not so sure about that. It will always exist, but it is getting increasingly difficult to break DRM. So we may have long periods where the rips are inferior compared to the source (i.e., transcodes via capping). All the new 4K stuff is already quite difficult due to SGX/other hardware enclaves. So it's not a question of just time/dedication to reverse engineer a blob.
I've paid by card in eight European countries and there were no prompts on the payment terminal other than my PIN (which I'm fine entering). More recently (in four or five countries) I've paid contactless which requires no pin under 25 euros. Also no additional prompts. Seems to be a thing of the USA, similar to lagging behind with magstripes?
My Amazon interview was the most ridiculous experience I have ever had interviewing anywhere. That round I got offers from Facebook (insta), Google (team matching said maps), Uber (eats) and a few others but not Amazon. At Amazon, I pulled out and declined with an email to my recruiter from the lobby of the building at the end of the day. My interviewers were broken up into two categories: Engineers who didn't want to be there, and terrible mid level managers that quizzed me on memorization of their company competencies. One of the managers was clearly reading his questions from a list, and did not care at all about what I had to say. That, combined with the sad office (manager's share a tiny office, everyone else sits in grey cubicles without sunlight), and no food or snacks (it matters) really broke it for me.

All that aside (I am willing to chalk it up to luck, god knows my first (failed) round at trying to get into Google went terribly), Amazon clearly does not compete by hiring the best engineers. Rather, they compete by throwing money at the problem and undercutting everyone else, getting by with mediocre engineering.

Is it intentional? Of course it's intentional. This is how they bring in massive amounts of money. No doubt some of it ends up in politicians' coffers, directly or indirectly. Seeing the consequences of the change in law to allow this is trivial especially with the guy who kept trying to demonstrate it to the government. How ironic when the government is the one who intentionally initiated this. No wonder they charged only the whistleblower with filling false information. It's not stupidity, it's malice. As it typically is with humans, despite the obviously incorrect perception to the contrary that some are fooled by.

BuzzFeed had a series of articles about a number of suspicious deaths of Russian expats who had fallen out with Putin or otherwise were persona non grata. Apparently the Home Office / upper echelons of the police were dragging their heels in investigating them - the general conspiracy theory is no one in the UK government really wants the flow of money from Russian oligarchs that is propping up the London property market to dry up. Tie that with May's speech sometime ago (little reported on) that the UK needs to be "better friends" with Russia (and this was _after_ Salisbury)...

X11 has a "standard compositor interface", but X11 compositors generally don't talk to the hardware directly, they talk to standard X11 drawing APIs like OpenGL or XRender. What you're talking about is really "Xorg drivers", a legacy from the time when Xorg was responsible for display hardware, and the OS kernel was responsible for every other kind of hardware.

Hardware definitely needs drivers, but these days the Linux community has settled on the model that all drivers should live in the Linux kernel, where they can share common code like "talking to the PCI bus" and security infrastructure. What you're proposing is that, instead of having one driver layer from "standard API" to "hardware interface", there should be multiple redundant driver layers, so that NVIDIA can implement whichever layer optimally balances their desire to support customers with their desire to hide their intellectual property.

That's not a crazy position (NVIDIA certainly holds it, and they're no small fry!) but telling Libre graphics-stack people "you need to make your architecture more complex and do extra work for free, to make this multi-billion-dollar company feel more comfortable" is always going to be a difficult proposition.
So who is stopping one dude in the pack have the app, some credit in it, swipe to open the door of the store, and it's gonna be followed by his 20 henchmen to robe the store blind while 2 of them will just block the door altogether to stay open?. 1000 USD iPhone X multiplied by at least 20 for each of them multiplied by 20 dudes it will make a nice 400k USD dent in under a minute. Have this happening at a few of these stores and you can see how that profit margin is going down the drain real fast.
This is really insightful. A lot of human “progress” and activity includes us exporting growing amounts of high entropy waste, for a mostly unaccounted for, deferred cost.

In most natural systems there is no waste - everything gets recycled. We create a mess digging for elements around the planet, consuming the “value” of the things we make from those elements (and large amounts of energy) in a way which lasts a very short time, and disposing of the waste which then mostly get spread around the planet in even greater mess. I find it difficult to see how automation will easily solve our waste problem - it seems many orders of magnitude easier to try to solve it before human waste gets to a giant garbled heap or gets spread around the atmosphere/oceans/groundwater/(soon low earth orbit) where it’s difficult to retrieve, and seems to cause huge problems to the natural world (and ultimately is) by being in places it shouldn’t be.

Why are humans so good/bad at creating a mess? Are we equipped with skills/incentives to solve this conundrum, or will we continue to drown in our mess?

How so? Windows does this at OS-level. Android seems capable too.

AFAIK, captive portal detection involves sending request to a known server on the Internet and getting back something that's a proper response from that server. This operation doesn't require a browser. Beyond that, from the system's POV, it's equivalent to being in a network that's not connected to the Internet. I don't see why we need to browsers to handle anything except captive portal's UI itself here.

Security researchers have to assume that if they've found a vulnerability, it's only a matter of time before the evil people will find it as well - that is if they haven't found it already.

That's why all disclosures come with window - if they don't, the companies aren't under any pressure to update their systems, the exploit start being used in the wild, etc. The window is not ideal, but it is better than no window.

And there isn't much point arguing over 30 vs 90 vs 120 vs 365 days. 90 is reasonable, enough for even the largest mainstream software companies to issue a patch release.
