You said "when in power".

I humbly suggest I have been watching this trend for decades and am not confused about this disparity. The voters you are talking about by and large get suckered in by infeasible promises. Sometimes the elected officials are true believers who only fail once the reality of the situation sets in. Other times it's active deception.
I'll accept that, though I'm not sure I agree.

I think it comes down to a lack of flexibility with the MUA composer. If you're using an editor like vim to compose the email, it would be easy enough to read the patch into the message by running

:'<,'>s/$/\s/

I always like it when CEOs get the benefits they claim are too expensive to keep for regular employees. Things like pension and health insurance. At this income level they should get a paycheck and no other benefits. They have enough money to buy other things.
It's not necessary to be outright 'authoritarian'. The 'national security' excuse goes a loooong way in the USA when the government wants something from a company. Also, financial sanctions can be equally effective for competing companies, or even just the carrot for the company that plays ball, like the alleged payments for Skype, Google, Microsoft, and others in PRISM.

Really powerful article, and speaks to the toll alcohol takes on lives over the course of decades. Whether it’s family separation, bodily injury, near death, destruction of trust.... It runs the gambit until it kills you.

> Why do some many people hate Tesla and want them to fail? Do they also want SpaceX to fail?

Aside from the obvious fanboy vs anti-fanboy thing, all of the other players in these spheres tend to be huge companies and government contractors, who can afford large and aggressive marketing budgets. This will almost certainly include some sort of online forum monitoring and consensus building.
Um... what?
> How exactly is exchanging cryptos with other cryptos conducive to money laundering?

One of the fundamental rules of money laundering is that anything that can be used for money laundering will be used for money laundering. Allowing anonymous users to shift from one crypto to another could be part of a money laundering routine. It does not have to include any fiat currency in the flow.

> I can tell you why you want to avoid KYC: It's really annoying for the users and it's labor-intensive for the company.

Ha! It's annoying, labor intensive, and a cost center for non-crypto companies as well. I can assure you that the entire non-crypto financial services industry would avoid it if they could as well.

There are a lot more limitations and checks on what the US can do. So yes, it's way worse if China does it. Because there not beyond imprisoning or killing people over information gained. Secondly we have no reason to believe the US had implemented backdoors in major processors.

The problem with the OP is it's whataboutism, it's a logical fallacy to say well A does something bad too, so B doing something bad is equivalent. That's a false equivalency.

There are many different sorts of financial services licenses both at the organizational and individual levels: banking licenses, broker-dealer licenses, investment advisory licenses, money-transfer licenses etc. From different federal agencies, state regulators, or industry associations. You can do certain things given certain licenses or be prohibited from doing certain things. Some licenses are granted to companies. Some to individuals. Plus, there are a blizzard of non-license based regulations covering a wide range of financial services activities.

It's not necessarily problematic that a tech company gets a license. But I think that some services require that officers of the company have specific licenses, which may be an issue. Or that the company have certain safeguards in place. Or certain communications (or communications blockage) structures. Etc. The regulations are fairly complex and intensive -- I suspect even many larger tech companies would be leery about entering this minefield.

Yes, there is some preferred balance between the two for any one person. But for reference, 15 years to retirement means shaving 25 years of full-time work off the typical career. That seems...pretty appealing.
I'm not rich, but I'd think that if that's just your keeping-busy hobby it seems like a relatively cheap one. You could save for not that long from just the 3%/yr, buy something used, fix it up yourself maybe paying a little here and there for things you can't do, come out cheap enough that you can make most of your money back and without ever touching your savings/investments.

I think it's more about avoiding investing in probably-doomed but romantic businesses that'll cut into your principal.
$25B is the point that Warren has been targeting for a few months now, not just for banking-related services. She says that at $25B, the company is sufficiently large that they control a significant portion of whatever industry they are as well as the economy and people's lives. The goal is to target companies with too much influence and reign them in with regulations and/or breakup. Again, this number is being used for any industry, not just banking and tech (though tech does seem to be the focus at the moment).

Let's not pretend how they are governed internally is what concerns the rest of the world.

The US has been in constant wars, invasions, meddling with foreign politics, running protectorates, etc. for over a century, including having bases all around the world. Far more countries have battle and regime change scars by the US than by China. Including it being the only country that ever dropped atomic bombs (and to civilians, none the less).

And it's not just the Orange Baboon in charge that's worrying (though of course there's that too) -- the "Nobel Peace Price" winner Obama had a worse track record.

(Of course for Americans anything that happened over 20 or 40 years ago is ancient history and the world should have forgotten it and totally trust them now -- still there were like 4 wars and one regime change they assisted in the last 20 years, so there's that).

I am not disputing any of that, but what you said before was that rebellion "accepts the educators' power as legitimate", which is incorrect. The act of rebellion indicates acceptance that the educators have power, but it rejects the idea that this power is legitimate. This is a far more constructive basis for realizing change than pretending that the very real power which the educators have over the students does not exist. If you want to move beyond fantasy and make your preferred version of the world a reality you first need to be willing to face the truth of the world as it actually exists. Accepting where you are is just as important as visualizing where you want to go.

Free will is an illusion and simply it doesn't exist.

You cannot make either a choice or decision that's truly your own. Simply, you cannot without being effected by the system you're in.

People don't choose the life they're born into and why does anything that comes after birth be assumed differently. The answer cultural conditioning and from religious ideology that has rooted deeply into society. The belief that god gave humanity free will.

No part of your actions are truly the responsibility of you as a person but the fate of cause & effect and everything outside one's control. The system of society with genetics & environment being imperfect makes bad people. Otherwise we would just have 'people' in a system of perfect equality.
>In other words, using your statement, there is some assumed emotional or social end-goal of the behaviour is there not? Isn't that n+1 from the recourse already defined from society?

Society is not an algorithm whose purpose is to derive formal logical proofs of type "recourse" for any particular set of inputs. There is no n+1, nor is there necessarily an emotional or social end-goal.

>The behaviour is designed to illicit something, is it not? Otherwise, why would you do it at all?

Most people don't orchestrate their emotions in order to elicit a specific response. People find Elon Musk to be an asshole because he acts like an asshole, they find his behavior objectionable because they object to his behavior. There need be no more complexity to the matter than that.

>At what point would he no longer be objectionable and/or for the behaviour to stop? His death?

And now the slippery slope argument... I don't see anyone calling for Elon's death, do you?

>Even if he profusely apologised, prostrated with guilt and remose today, wouldn't the behaviour still continue?

Maybe. But then again, he could also eat an infant on live television and people would still defend him, so in the end it all seems to even out.
The difficulty of the chapters themselves is almost perfectly flat. I wrote every single line of code for the book and split it out into chapters before I started writing any prose. I can tell you, today, exactly which lines of code need to be explained in the very last chapter, and I could have done that three years ago when I started writing the text for chapter one. (In fact, if you clone the repo and run the build script, you can see for yourself.)

Writing did get somewhat harder when I transitioned from part 1 (the Java interpreter) to part 2 (the C VM). C is a more finicky language in a lot of ways. Things like the order of declarations matter. So figuring out which order to introduce snippets of code within a single chapter tends to take a little longer, but it's not a big difference.

My rate of progress has generally slowed over the past few years, for a lot of reasons. My initial enthusiasm has naturally waned. There isn't much novelty left in the project for me — writing each chapter is much like writing the previous one. So it's mostly an exercise in discipline now. Meanwhile, of course, I keep stumbling into other new things that I am excited about, so staying focused is hard.

The last few years have also been personally difficult for me in a number of ways. My mother got cancer (in remission now!), two family members died, two friends died, my dog (the one on the back cover of my previous book) was in ill health for a long time and then had to be put down. Lots of other personal stuff like that. 2018 was one of the worst years of my life, even though I'm still very fortunate in many ways.

But through all of that, I've managed to keep going. I work on the book every day, so I worked on it in the hospital waiting room while my mom got a CAT scan. I wrote a measly 59 words the night after we put down my dog. I wrote in the hotel before my friend's memorial service and on an airplane on the way back from my aunt's funeral.

In some ways, the project is a constant comfort in my life, and it's also taught me a lot about the power of perserverance and discipline. I'm really looking forward to it being done and taking a long break. But I'm also looking forward to seeing what I'll be able to do with this discipline next.

It's quite amazing how large the gap is between the way the world is described to us through various mediums, versus the clearly observable reality of it.

> I approached the individuals and the institutions concerned about the content of my Subject Access Request. They all refused to discuss the matter with me, so I can only speculate as to what was going on.

Of course, these people were just "avoiding drama" they'd tell us. But then, is avoiding drama that what they were doing when they were trashing this person behind their back in emails?

I think people have a tendency to conceptualize a stark, "real" line between adolescence and adulthood, but the reality of the matter seems to be that many adults are little more than high school kids plus some added expertise in some narrow domains. The adult world, even at the highest levels of authority, largely consists of the same petty cliques, backstabbing, lying, and whatnot that you'd experience in high school.
Yeah, because the US is not "equally authoritarian", so the rest of the world shouldn't mind!

E.g. Chile where they helped establish Pinochet to power should feel secure. Italy where they collaborated with far right groups and deep state against democracy should also feel OK. And so on...
Middle East is a completely different and much longer story and USA just got involved in a drive-by fashion merely decades ago.

That's great to hear! I sure as hell wasn't planning to write an epic when I started, but here we are.
Genuine question: I hear a lot of concerns that NYTimes in particular is not original reporting and is often reporting to their own interests, a big example being the NYTimes covering positively the idea of war in iraq/afganistan and the trump-has-no-chance coverage. I don't agree with this sentiment; I just know this sentiment is not uncommon in my peer group.

That is to say: Where are you gathering that they spend far more on original news reporting than other outlets? This is not an attack on you, nor a disagreement, but a genuine question as to what is your internal context to your statements- it is a context I'm lacking, as my social group is generally very cynical on the quality of NYTimes.

(For the record, I like NYTimes, but the volume of cynicism in my peer group has caused me difficulty in my relationship with that specific publisher.)
I don't know if your government is like my government, but a lot of the hiring decisions my government makes are often corrupt and based on X government leader owes Y person so this job will go to one of Y person's friends.
Im talking about accessing variables in parent scopes. In python you have to explicitly declare the var as nonlocal, but in JS it just works. Now, I'm well aware that this was an active design decision made by both communities, and the "Pythonic" way wouldn't be to use `nonlocal` at all probably, but instead use a class or similar. However, I still consider its presence a wart of the language. (likely only because I am so much more familiar with JS!)

Silly micro example to explain what I'm talking about:

JS:

const countUpFromN = (n) => () => n++

Py:

def countUpFromN(n):
def add():
nonlocal n
n += 1
return n-1
return add

Keep in mind that you only need nonlocal to write, reads will work fine. So you can use a variable a bunch in some scope, then suddenly have things break when you try to simply write to it.

Not really. Defamation in England is not easy to sue for.

Its implementation may be a bit academic for what you're looking for, but Watson Beat (https://github.com/cognitive-catalyst/watson-beat) can generate music given a seed melody a number of configurable parameters.

All output is in MIDI files, and by default need to be glued together manually (though I suspect this could be automated).

I've also wondered how interesting this could get if it could be configured to dynamically feed the generated melodies back in as the seed, effectively evolving the music over time while remaining somewhat familiar from one adaptation to the next.
Yea true. America is worse.
It's a brilliant subversion of the Protestant Work Ethic.

Work is inherently good (I don't agree with this proposition but it's popular even among atheists) and so therefore we must reward workers.

It therefore stands to reason we should reward people more the harder they work

And your income is an adequate proxy for how hard you work

And your wealth is an adequate proxy for income

And so we should reward people for being wealthy

And this ends up with the situation where being an heiress sat on her ass doing nothing but owning an investment portfolio means you deserve tax breaks and above inflation raises, whereas if you put 60 hours per week in as an "independent contractor" for unprofitable new "sharing economy" businesses owned by that portfolio you don't even deserve a living wage.
