Re-reading my comment, I should have actually written “I don’t disagree with you that the two can coexist, but only in certain contexts”.

I’m of the opinion that it’s impossible to achieve economic progress with social upheaval, threats of separatism and terrorist attacks. Economic progress is incompatible with the others.

It's the extreme poverty and lack of economic opportunities which drive destabilizing forces such as these.

Prosperity by means of terrorism then separatism is the path offered by the WUC and ETIM.

Prosperity by means of forced “re-education” in vocational skills and poverty alleviation plans [1] is the one offered by the CCP.

I think it’s the CCP’s gambit that when there is economic prosperity in the region, there will be room for expanding human rights. There won’t be a need or desire to separate from a system which you are actively benefiting from and when that threat goes away, so do the armoured patrols and surveillance mechanisms.

Very naive question: When a company wants to circumvent a national legislation (say for instance tax legislation) they frequently create affiliates in other countries. Can't the same be done to circumvent trading ban, or is it prevented somehow?

Having said that, what is so hard about running regular backup images, and simply burning a new one every time the current SD card inevitably fails? That's been working for me for years. Can't reboot... burn a new SD card from the backup. Reboot. All the super-timely stuff is on github, so at most, I might lose an hour or so every 6 months to a year. And anything that isn't altered often just has a rolling updated image for me to dd if needed. It's rare enough I just don't care about it.

I use rpis a lot, and since I work with MPI, usually there are quite a few running at all times. I just back up regularly and don't get alarmed that they don't last like a desktop at 100 times the price would. Of all the SD cards and actual rpis that died, I heaven't come close to that price, and have lost nearly nothing for all that I've gained in the experience.

It was idle for few years and recently decided to just open source. Maybe someone would like to use or collaborate.

One problem there is Wikipedia culture. Suppose you're a bona-fide content-area expert, fully capable of accurately conveying your knowledge in clear language that most people can understand. You might want to concentrate on creating the article.

Instead ... if the topic is not obscure and unpopular ... odds are high that you'll wind up jousting with dozens of inspired but unqualified challengers. The first time two of the paragraphs you've spent hours crafting disappear on someone's whim, you're probably going to stay gone.

"Anyone can edit"? In many cases, no. Take the 'Start-class' article 'performing arts', for example: how many people are truly qualified to summarize that enormous topic?

A-quality doesn't emerge from a melange of bits and pieces.

To me, you are incorrectly conflating a couple of important details. First off, NOBODY wants the "papers please" bs. The whole point of voting is for citizens to elect their leadership, who supposedly represent them. If non-citizens vote, it destroys the entire purpose of all of it.

We live in an age of unprecedented illegal immigration because it is "compassionate" or because virtue signaling is fashionable and profitable. No other civilization in human history has undergone what we are attempting. I personally don't think it leads anywhere positive, but I have little say in what happens there.

Right or wrong, for tax paying citizens to just be okay with anyone showing up and demanding voting rights, access to welfare and services, and whatever else is a big problem. The system can only withstand so many free riders and poorly informed voters before it fails.

Enter voter ID. I don't like the idea, but I realize it is necessary given how the Liberals and Establishment GOP are treating citizens. It's like we don't matter as long we keep paying for all of it. But any reasonably intelligent person can see that they're being taken advantage of here. All to cement power in one uni-party system. Worst of all, the disadvantaged people they are moving here en masse are mere pawns in a game--they don't care what happens to them anymore than they care what happens to us as they move in millions more and spread them around the nation in order to modify voting patterns.

It's sickening.

Seems like a good time to recommend Dark City (1998), for those who also like the "reality isn't what it seems" theme.

But skip the first 10-20 or so minutes of the film, because the narrator literally spells out the big twist at the very start.
Thanks for sharing. Awesome writing style by the author!
Who decides what “a people” is? You have a bunch of people in a geographic region, and some of those people get to decide that they are “the people” and that only they get to vote? Sounds pretty blatantly undemocratic.
If Siri reviewers encounter evidence of certain crimes such as murder, sex trafficking, pedophilia, or domestic abuse, it is obvious they have a basic moral duty to report the crime and turn over the evidence to investigators.
> I am stating that the described hash dance offers no exclusion from GDPR as saying "we promise we won't look" would do.

Under your logic, you would never trust us because we could just add $log->write(UserIp, UserAgent, Hostname, Path) in plain text. Trust is very important and what you do with the data is important under GDPR.

And we don't hold all the information to re-create the hash, that's the thing.

I thought a lot about "Oh but you could just do this, this and this" but, no, that argument doesn't hold. Our obligation under GDPR is what we actually do with data.

>>really! Roubini has predicted a recession every single year since 2008!

Unlike, say, a set of sports games, you don't get an automatic reset to zero on Jan 1 2009, Jan 1 2010 etc and start with a "fresh new prediction" for year N+1. The bubble just keeps going on, as long as it is humanly possible (i.e. by exploring the limits of money printing) to sustain it. Which is why the crashes just keep getting more and more severe (which is, by the way, another indicator that your analysis is incorrect).

It is entirely possible that Roubini was correct every year, and that the populace as a whole is not economically literate enough to ask basic questions such as "How does my government decide how many units of currency to print each year?", and that once the bubble does burst, it is just the same Roubini bubble times 10.
What you're saying is not very far from what I've observed as a person who moved to the states ~2 years ago.

But it seems that current situation is not Fox New' fault. Read this quote from Isaac Asimov from decades ago:

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.

To me it seems that Fox News is riding on the wave of this ignorance and fueling it.

Edit: I feel like I need to add another opinion. This phenomenon exists in, probably all countries.

It's just that in the U.S. the stakes are so high, that anything that could be exploited, is going to be. And exploiting under educated voters is not exactly new.

California DMV wouldn’t take my lease because it was just a printout. Changed my address with Chase from my phone while in line (no verification), walked over to the branch to get a certified statement with the new address, walked it back into the DMV, got the address on my license.

I understand there’s a strong deterrent but any reasonably smart person could defraud this. They seem not to be even trying.

It's a direct quote from the whistleblower:

> The whistleblower said: “There have been countless instances of recordings featuring private discussions between doctors and patients, business deals, seemingly criminal dealings, sexual encounters and so on. These recordings are accompanied by user data showing location, contact details, and app data.”

> That accompanying information may be used to verify whether a request was successfully dealt with. In its privacy documents, Apple says the Siri data “is not linked to other data that Apple may have from your use of other Apple services”. There is no specific name or identifier attached to a record and no individual recording can be easily linked to other recordings.

> Apple told the Guardian: “A small portion of Siri requests are analysed to improve Siri and dictation. User requests are not associated with the user’s Apple ID. Siri responses are analysed in secure facilities and all reviewers are under the obligation to adhere to Apple’s strict confidentiality requirements.”

Strangely, the whistleblower's quote directly contradicts Apple's privacy documents. The whistleblower says the recordings are linked to some other information, but the privacy documents say the recordings are not linked to other information.

But the whistleblower's quote does not contradict Apple's quote to the Guardian. The whistleblower never says the recordings are linked to the user's Apple ID.

Maybe defrauding a library is somehow a more significant crime than defrauding UPS?
There is zero reason a voter can’t be given a provisional paper ballot in a jurisdiction with electronic ballots.

You don’t want to verify eligibility before voting because it slows the process down. The longer it takes to vote, the fewer people vote. You just collect the voter’s information and then the responsibility for the rest of the verification is on the government. It occupies the government’s time to verify the vote and not the voter’s time.
Democrats are just as irrational. By giving tax breaks to renewable energy, letting Priuses use the diamond lane, the whole solyndra scandal. They talk a good game, but strangely their utopian plans never quite work out, but their big government and tax hikes always stay. Both parties are the same.

Your comment made me think of whether a GRB could have caused the cambrian explosion. So I searched for that and found this paper:

Well, specifically it said he "attempted to immunize himself against 13 diseases", which isn't equivalent to actually doing that. Furthermore, I get the sense that his isolation was primarily to avoid the authorities ("he stayed not at the Lalaji but secretly—and illegally", use of the word "safehouse"), and not due to biological concerns. If anything, that was a second order benefit in his mind - "The benefit of that is that I was essentially in quarantine"...

Yeah, because you enjoyed smoking cigarettes and then decided to give it up. On it's own there's nothing bad or surprising about wanting to smoke again.

People who have given up eating meat for health reasons will also often lust for a steak when they see one being eaten in a movie.

But my intention is actually not to claim there's no such thing as nicotine addiction.

My claim is that I find it unlikely that it's vaping or smoking that turns teenagers into crazy impulsive, and moody people.

Saudi Arabia is running out of money - they have huge budget deficits and are steadily draining reserves. They're so desperate they considered selling parts of ARAMCO but couldn't get the over-inflated valuation they wanted

The reason Saudi Arabia is spending money in foreign investment is because it's part of a last-ditch effort to diversify a dying and unsustainable economy
People say stuff to police that's later used against them in court all the time, so I agree keeping quiet is generally good advice. You should still use your common sense though.

I have a friend who took this advice way too literally when we were 18.

I was in the car when he got pulled over for speeding once, and he refused to say a single word to the officer. He handed over his license, registration and proof of insurance, but wouldn't answer any questions.

The cop asked how him how fast he thought he was going, and my friend didn't even tell the cop that he wouldn't answer his questions. It was just the straight silent treatment. The cop was clearly getting agitated. I was begging my friend just to answer the questions, even if just say he didn't remember or something, but he refused.

Fortunately, his grandma is in the backseat and really saved the day by apologizing for her idiot grandson. My friend wound up only getting a warning thanks to his grandma, but no doubt we would have gotten a big ticket at the minimum if he kept the silent treatment up.

Another time, we both got busted for launching bottle rockets in a public park a couple weeks after the 4th of July. There were several witnesses including the people that called the cops, but once again my friend did the exact same silent treatment to the cops. I sang like a bird about my own actions while being careful not to say that my friend had also launched rockets.

Fortunately the questions were directed at both of us, and we weren't asked specifically who all was involved before my friend felt guilty that I was taking all the blame and started talking to the cops himself.

Good thing because in Ohio launching bottle rockets is an M-1 misdemeanor carrying up to a six month prison sentence. The cops could have been jerks, but instead they recommended that the prosecutor drop charges after we did some community service. Had my friend stuck with the silent treatment, I fully believe we would have been punished more severely.

Again I urge common sense. Every situation is different. Had it been someone else or somewhere else or a slightly different situation, being quiet could have been the right decision. This could be an example of white privilege, but so far in my life, I've never regretted just being honest with the cops.

Should land not be priced correctly? The problem we have now is people laying claim to value they did not produce.

This "money for nothing" situation increases demand for land a, exacerbating the supply issue.

Land value tax would force better land use, and more efficiency means more for those in need.

I find utility is most beautiful. Various other interpretations of aesthetics in mathematics seem misplaced if the result is that none or a very limited number of verifiably consistent applications exist for some new construct/extension of math that is supposedly art but more or less a useless exercise of mental masturbation. Higher theoretical math is purely a construct of reasoning, and may not always produce verifiable consistency for every domain—like reflecting the real (this) universe being studied. I would prefer mathematicians study what is utilitarian and foundational, instead of yet another questionably useful offshoot of mathematics. There are a million dead ends and very few interest pieces that lead to a goldmine of new applications or improvements.
Things brings to mind an issue that I haven't seen addressed. Profiting directly from climate change will be an increasing threat. If investors start snapping up real estate in northern Canada, for example, it creates perverse incentives--not just to ignore climate change, as oil companies have, but to encourage it.

Don't think that people won't devise ways to make a fortune from this disaster.
So give people the money the need to participate in the market. “Price controls are bad” doesn’t mean you give up, it means you use less distorting tactics like transfer payments instead.
Is this a joke? I mean, I understand the sentiment, and agree with it, but (probably unfortunately) the current value of education is more highly correlated with the ability to _prove_ that one is educated than education itself - the "piece of paper" if you will. Coursera is moving toward a model where affordable certification is possible for topics normally restricted to an advanced traditional post-secondary education in the US, but the reality that the value/cost ratio of post-secondary education for the average American has decreased significantly over the past 50 years.

Note: I'm doing this calculation under the assumption that the value of an undergraduate degree has remained constant, while the average price of tuition has increased significantly. Some might even argue that the value of a degree has even decreased due to looser lending practices enabling more people to obtain degrees, further increasing this disparity.
In a 5 - 55 dollar device, they make a lot of sense. If your application is such that SD isn't good enough, the rpi itself probably isn't either. Both are great for the price to capability ratio.
