The simple answer is that you have been consuming too much mass media, and have succumbed to its insidious bias.

This "weaponization" of the Internet narrative is based around casting vulnerabilities as if they're "nobody's fault", rather than mundane gross negligence. The digital realm inherently favors defenders - if there is no logic error, packets just bounce off. And this applies even in the less-certain psychological realm - foster a culture of rejecting sensationalized propaganda and it will no longer rule elections!

But a narrative based around shoring up defenses and being diligent would be pretty boring. And the news media certainly doesn't want to attack propaganda generally, merely stave off "Russian" propaganda to preserve their own authority. So the whole topic gets sensationalized as the age-old escalation-aimed status quo - governments saber ratting at each other to drum up internal support.

But free people are not countries and we are especially not governments. What Snowden exposed was how governments, specifically the US government, are attacking their own citizens in the name of this "security". Everybody involved in tech should have already known, but just didn't want to admit it to themselves because it is so "anti-American" and conflicts with the web 2.0 gravy train. Snowden certainly wasn't the first, but he was at the right time with the right information the public can grok (XKEYSCORE vs 641A).

Additionally, the government has no philosophical mandate without the oversight of and subservience to The People. If you want to throw around the term "traitor", look no further than these agencies that swear oath to the Constitution and then work to undermine it by escaping from its governance! No matter how much "collateral damage" was done to that game of USG spooks playing with other spooks, spilling the beans is justified to push these activities back under control of the People.

"Blindly trust us, we're working behind the scenes to keep you safe, but can't tell you how" is not the setup of a Free society. This is the overarching dynamic that the mass media generally downplays in their present narrative, preferring people identify with the power structure rather than emphasizing how it is acting against them.

> Existing land owners, home builders, and mortgage lenders are most certainly not better off if people only buy houses with cash.

The existing land owners are probably the biggest real opposition now, though they wouldn't be any worse off if we had done the right thing to begin with, because then they'd have paid less from the start too. It could be worth a one-time cost of paying them off in some way.

It's debatable whether the home builders would actually be worse off, because most of what people are really bidding up is the land, since construction has a lot more supply elasticity than land. They may even get more work in the long term as people aren't paying loan interest as much, so they ultimately end up with more money that can be used for home improvement projects.

And I don't think people have a lot of sympathy for the plight of the mortgage lenders.

> I also think that whatever the lowest rung on the economic ladder who could plausibly buy property may also be made less well off by shutting them out of the housing ownership market entirely.

Why would it do that? There would still be the same amount of land, so approximately the same people would have it. If it costs less by the same amount as the credit which is no longer available, the main difference is the interest you're no longer paying to the bank. If anything that should benefit people at the bottom of the ladder, who would have had to take loans with higher than average interest rates.

Some thoughts on Capital One data breach
Capital One was hacked by a software engineer.
Once again, S3 bucket got hacked because of one misconfiguration. And it contains millions of people's personal information and credit history. Some thoughts on what happened to Capital one (3rd Credit Card issuer in the world)
- If one misconfiguration can lead to massive data breach (including encrypted data), and it happens again and again, this cloud provider probably needs to improve its security design.
- Security is hard and it's even harder in the cloud. But can you ask more often "What Could Go Wrong" if your job is to defend millions of people's credit card information.

The recent drastic redesign also lowers the appeal of the older iPhone models.

A $139 Nokia 2.2 looks like a better phone than the refurb iPhone 7 does, just because they designed it to imitate the iPhone X's curved corners and camera notch.

Removable battery and headphone jacks aside, it's probably a worse phone than the iPhone 7 is. But it doesn't look like a worse phone.

When Apple's cheaper used phones catch up to the modern phone design style, I think they'll be more competitive. But that's still years away, and who knows what new phones will look like then.
>the majority of the time I find that the stranger I strike up a conversation with is just as eager to have a conversation

I've attempted this a lot, as means to cope with spending enormous amounts of time in transient spaces such as airports, hotels, etc. (~300+ days/yr "on the road"). I've observed that age seems to be a huge factor in whether or not this actually works.

As a millennial, I don't seem to have a lot of success with this when it comes to striking up conversations with other millennials -- my success rate starting and keeping a conversation going here is probably in the 10-20% range, and most of the time, the conversation ends within a minute or two because the other party just doesn't seem that interested in a conversation, even in cases where there are some clear shared interests or connections.

My success rate with gen X-ers is better, probably in the 30-40% range. Boomers are by far the most receptive, with probably a 50-60% success rate at keeping a conversation going for a while.
A nice tribute, but also defeats one of the most important features of the split flap: the data remains visible even when the power is off
I'd love nothing more than to be able to go over to my friend's house, pop on his Vive and sit down and just look at a high resolution panorama of Mars either stitched together from photos or from video capture.

I think if we ever do send a manned mission, someone needs to be sent specifically to act as a videographer and that with what we learn from JPL Mars Helicopter Scout we need to make a bunch of drones to go with the manned mission too purely for video collection for licensing for video games, VR experiences, movie. You could recover all of the cost of the video equipment plus a good deal more just licensing that video out at fair rates because people like you and me would LOVE to see that.

It's always chapped me that we've never had good high resolution photos or video. I get why, tax payers don't care about space and it's a hard enough sell as is so space agencies want to get as much scientific data as they can but argh, even some 720p of the Moon would be amazing.

> This means police will be more efficient in identifying and catching suspects.

That's quite a claim. Prove it.

> Facial recognition is always used as a first-pass filter, so the false positive rate is not relevant

I don't understand. Are you saying that using a filter negates a false positive? I don't think that's accurate at all.

> it simply narrows the search space so that limited police resources are used efficiently.

What about the rights of someone who's been falsely implicated?
It would not have been the same since the UK has a similar amount of oil and 12x the number of people. Proportionately it was far less significant.
There is a bit more then that: https://www.eff.org/nsa-spying

And no, he didn't flee to china, he transited through Hong Kong, which seems to be a sound tactical choice considering Hong Kongs unique position in international politics.
Exactly right. Many Americans are so ashamed of the US, when in many ways it's a shining example of how to do things right -- certainly relative to many other countries. The US is a spectacularly prosperous country, and all it seems anyone talks about is how to fundamentally change the systems that made it that way. There are always in which a society can improve, but man -- let's not forget what's worked well.
> There is absolute thresholds of usability,

I don't think this is true, for slow websites (taking >6 seconds to load) the effect is mostly linear.

For faster sites going from 1s to 0.5s will be less impactful than going from 6s to 3s. So there are non-linear effects from a psychological perspective, but I think those are mostly relevant at faster timescales.

> difference between something tolerable and intolerable on a low end device.

The only case where I have had things reach intolerable is when the network cannot actually send the data without faulting. Loading for 3 minutes is not actually intolerable.

> If memory becomes an issue, excessive memory usage will lead either to:

I don't think most single webpages will overload a low end systems RAM. I think the lowest system RAM you can have is ~0.5 gb usable and most sites fit within that.
Neat! I don't tend to lace cables regularly, but it is my preferred method of wire management for old motorcycles. I use leather lacing, and it's mainly an aesthetic thing, since zip ties look so out of place, and the leather looks great w/ cloth wiring. My only gripe is how long it takes, especially if changes need to be made in a run. Are you aware of any good techniques or instructional materials to help with lacing faster?

Back in HS I worked line service, and I remember our mechanic being able to lace wires at least 2-3x faster than I can. Is this like welding, where it's all about time spent practicing, or are there tricks & techniques I'm unaware of?
Could we reduce the power of gerrymandering by increasing the number of districts? At the first census, there were 3.9M people and 65 districts. Now we have 327M people and 435 districts, so the number of people per district has increased by 12.5X. I would think this makes gerrymandering more lucrative, since gerrymandering works because of quantization error.
I don’t think that increasing police presence and surveillance is the answer to stopping petty crime, it just punishes people who need help and or creates a corrupt police dept, exasperating the problem further.

If we provide avenues for people to provide for themselves, crime will drop, and we avoid all of the chilling side effects of total surveillance.
My personal income is in the top 5% of where I live but since my wife is a stay-at-home mother we are in the top 15% for household income. Granted next year when I move up an age bracket we move down to the top 15% for individual income and 25-30% for household income.

Given that we very much have a 1950s lifestyle, modest single-family home ($348k, 4 bedrooms/2 bathrooms as I work from home, on a half acre with no restrictions), 2 kids, health-care, and saving for retirement. We are down to 1 car as we recently moved across the country but since I work from home we are seeing if one car will work; it would if there we more sidewalks but ditches seem to take up that space.

It's a poor assumption that violates due process and presumption of innocence. Applying the assumption makes our current justice system act in the manner that is similar to some of the original complaints of American revolutionaries about British colonial rule.

Does every political statement need to include all of these things? If I espouse a political opinion on an online forum like this:

"Gerrymandering is bad and has negative effects on our democracy"

Am I expected to include donation links and organize a Call Your Rep campaign every time I say something like that? Thats effectively what OP is doing, making a statement, not trying to singlehandledly solve the issue in question.
omg omg omg! the sonic cherry picker truck was finishing up the fiber work right outside my house this morning... talked to the amazingly nice cablemen and i should have fiber in ~month!
Use Firefox's reader mode.
I might end up doing that. Good suggestion.
There are no known materials that act as a one way mirror. We don't expect to find any such material. With a one way mirror it would be easy to lower global entropy.
Indeed, the previous time the US Supreme Court was dealing with gerrymandering rules/tests it was a republicans accusing the democrat's of unfair gerrymandering in Maryland: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/17-333_b97c.pdf

Then the latest one was democrats challenging republicans in Wisconsin.

It has a long complicated history of courts and politicians trying to balance the lines. As long as there's a way to game the system in your favour, someone will try - regardless of party.
Eleos Technologies | Remote (US only) | Full time | https://eleostech.com

Eleos Technologies is a growing 8-year-old company building communication software for truck drivers and field workers.

We’re helping a diverse mix of customers—from mom and pop operations to household names—improve how they communicate with their employees by tackling information overload, reducing phone calls, and eliminating obsolete technologies.

We're looking for someone to own and evolve our web backends. The primary backend is built on Erlang/OTP, plus supporting systems built in Clojure (image processing) and Ruby on Rails (dashboard, billing UI, those bits.) As a small team, we've all helped build and grow these systems, but we're ready for a specialist!

In addition to the above technologies, we're running on AWS, using PostgreSQL, although we're keen to remember that all these things are tools and not identities.

If that sounds fun and rewarding to you, the full description and info about applying are over here:

We should be building more submarines instead of aircraft carriers.
Excellent troll (satire I hope?)
The US and Canada (Alberta) both were as well. Yet both have massive debt instead of huge amounts of money.
I agree that new nuclear power doesn't appear to be competitive with new renewables in the near term. It might be competitive again as renewable penetration gets high and storage costs rise. If there were just one tax incentive scheme, aimed at reducing CO2 emissions, we could be sure that tax incentives were optimizing for low emissions without distorting the market in favor of overly specific technology choices. But as I mentioned before, I'll take the overly specific and distortionary incentives if the alternative is "no incentives at all for reducing emissions."
This is a rather unfair statement given that the first stable version of Julia was released only a year ago.
Would have to be Nand2Tetris. You build an entire computing system from "scratch" using a set of emulator tools. You design logic chips all the way to an operating system. It's a lot of work, but is very self-contained.

Debt has a psychological cost too, you owe something to someone, in this case several billion dollars, so not pocket change. Perhaps, after becoming the richest man alive, being free of debt is worth more to him than extra money.
