> Protect Whistleblowers: Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled. We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance. Barack Obama will strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose waste, fraud, and abuse of authority in government. Obama will ensure that federal agencies expedite the process for reviewing whistleblower claims and whistleblowers have full access to courts and due process.

I visited in 1991 for three months as a 14 year old. I don't recall a dual system (unless it was voucher based?), but I remember the friendship department stores and loads of other interesting things - Russian-styled hotels in Xian, Pudong being basically farmland, snakeboats on the Huangpu, etc. It had changed a lot by the time I next visited in late 2003. I don't think they yet had a McDonalds, but there was a three-storey KFC on Tiananmen that was popular. Yangshuo at the time was a very basic village which made it very charming. I remember staying at a guesthouse used for diplomats near Beidaihe - the mattresses we kids slept on were about half an inch thick. At the end of the trip, we left on a slow-boat from Shanghai to Hong Kong, and the elderly Chinese in the gaming room taught us Mahjong on the multi-day trip.

The patent (https://patents.google.com/patent/US7892474B2/en) doesn’t seem to mention galvanometers at all.

It uses the phrase ”digital light processing/digital micromirror device”.

I don’t know how that slash should be interpreted. If it’s “aka”, the patent doesn’t cover using prisms.

I wouldn’t bet on that, though, noting that the patent is careful to avoid the term “light”, using the broader “electromagnetic radiation” instead.
At this point it's no longer conspiracy theories, it's just conspiracy shower thoughts.
They are financed by investors initially, and are not paying back in cash. They re-invest their profits, in other words, keep them to themselves.

The investors are paid back by the rising stock, which means by more investors who want to buy the stock and raise the price by their demand.

This is indeed brilliant, and overpowers any org that needs to return part of its profits back to investors, lenders, etc.
> Nothing is ever certain.

That's exactly my point. I was pointing out that unless the previous comment was absolutely true (i.e., China would be wrecked and the USA would not be) then even if both fare badly the USA would __relatively__ be hurt more.
Are you actually arguing that randomized controlled trials aren't following the scientific method?
I think stole, while not technically correct, is appropriate. The squatter had no intention of using the domain. They jumped on a domain that had just expired and registered it in the hope that the previous owner had made a mistake and might be willing to pay them an exorbitant amount of money to get it back.
Haste != Speed.

Take the time now to do it as well as you know how to do; but you're also correct, and taking too long to do the thing is useless, as well as overbuilding.
America has free markets and a decentralized, bottom-up system that results in entrepreneurs and private entities deciding how to allocate capital. There may be temporary pain but wherever there is opportunity an entrepreneur will step in.

China has zombie enterprises, their financial statements are lies, and cities built by bureaucratic maneuvering over market need.

I will always bet on the American private sector over the government-run towers of lies.

>If the death note can manipulate odds to an arbitrary degree, you're thinking way too small right now.

Right, what I feel might be the case is that the targeted output needs to at least be verifiable (hence see my second proposal). An argument could be made that unless the person has a way of verifying their action, there is no way to ensure that the desired outcome is achieved, so the instruction is invalid. (Separately, at least in your written example, it is possible for the person to be mistaken about the validity of their method!)

On the other hands, actions that are (machine) verifiable fall right within the scope of the Death Note (insofar as the verification instruments are also reliable, and verification happens within 23 days). I emphasize machine verifiable because the Death Note has various rules concerning other people, which I won't wade into. If "X starts his car and his car engine explodes" is valid, then so should "X keys a random string of inputs into a machine, machine returns True, then X dies."

So no we've limited the scope of DN-solvable problems to 23-day machine-verifiable problems. Now we just need to know what set of problems are 23-day machine-verifiable...
Name and shame please, this is insane.
It's maddening that this is happening and we could stop it if we collectively wanted to. Crazier still is that the Right appears to have made this a "liberal issue", and therefore revel in making this a joke.

I believe the person means something like taking an existing 2 or 3 lane road and making one lane a bus lane. So you took away a lane in a way. In Seattle they have done that but the buses work really well when they don't get stuck in car traffic. Buses are often faster than cars here. There's a huge number of buses, they get good use out the special bus lanes. On the freeway it's carpool lanes than include cars and buses. In the city they do have bus only lanes.

If you didn't have buses that go places people need and lots of them then converting a lane to bus only might not be useful. People make exactly the same claims you do about seattle but the bus system here is really effective.
The only thing happening on the island is tourism, which is pretty much gone during the winter, and access to the island is marginal at best when the ferry shuts down for the season. All of the labor is seasonal as well, mostly from overseas.
> it's more crowded and looks desolate now.

"desolate" means the opposite of "crowded".

> The shops aren't deserted, but it's a different crowd.

So the shops are missing the kind of people you would like to see shopping, but full of a "different" kind of people. What kind of people are those?
Those people have been living in those temperatures for thousands of years. Their culture thrives in it. When heat waves hit temperate areas, people are not prepared. You sit out there in 140 degrees, and you're not going to survive very long without the knowledge to do so. Look at the animals dying in the polar regions, as their cold habitats warm up. No different.

Note for others not familiar, if you go Hammersmith Tube Station to Shepherd's Bush Tube Station overland by bicycle then it takes five minutes, depending on traffic lights. That is actual five minutes, as in three hundred seconds.

Clearly both areas are larger than their respective train stations but the stations are representative.

To actually get a tube or other train between the two is not entirely direct, you would probably get on the wrong Hammersmith station at first (there are two), spend five minutes crossing the road to get to the other one. Then at the end a bus or long walk would be needed, so you would soon be in 45 minute territory.

The traffic can be mostly ignored if doing the route by bicycle except on the various mini ring roads they have to keep traffic deadly. Hammersmith itself is like a six lane motorway ring road of hell, easy to die on that one. Then at Shepherd's Bush there is that green bit where the traffic just goes round and round very slowly. On the bike you just go straight without getting sent around these merry-go-rounds of car fumes.

No idea why anyone would want to drive in such parts of London even though I have had to do it for work myself. It is not even driving, just slowly shunting along, blocking the way for 'serious' road users who care about their time and arriving promptly. As a cyclist I don't see myself as a serious road user, I assume those people in cars have more important journeys than mine so I am deferential to them. Yet, if being prompt matters to you and you do work in London, the bicycle is the only reliable means of getting from A to B in a dependably timely manner.

By that definition, those people in their posh cars, inching along, can't really be that serious. If they thought about it properly they would abandon their tin boxes or find better jobs. Travel by car is that silly in London.

It's interesting how, when communicating with hypothetical future people in written form, we have to choose language we have the best hope of them understanding. A center of emanating energy that is dangerous to the body and kills.

What makes you think all those other countries have the same issues with China as the US ?

Southern EU countries depend on Chinese investment, northern EU countries are addicted to cheap Chinese imports.

EU also have bones to pick with the US regarding tech monopolies.

Mexico also does a huge amount of trade with China.

Let me be clear that I am not advocating for constant ubiquitous surveillance. Only I don't see a way to avoid it happening. There may be a severe disruption in civilization what with the climate and all, but one day "there will be lemon-soaked paper napkins."

At best you can try to limit who has the surveillance tech, but to do that you have to have the surveillance tech, eh? The problem is circular.

So, since we cannot (I believe) do without the surveillance, can we remove the chilling effect?

For example, in Star Trek the computer always knew where everyone was (unless the script called for a mysterious disappearance) and no one felt stifled, eh?

Actually the German surplus has been brought up for discussion many times in the EU parliament.
A trade surplus of over 6% triggers a so called IDR, one EU acronym among many, which means (Macroeconomic) In-Depth Review. If the review shows an excessive balance, that triggers the EIP. Excessive Imbalance Procedure!. If a country fails to follow the recommendations coming out of the EIP, that can in theory lead to sanctions, including fines.
You can read the last IDR on Germany here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/2018-european-sem...
This IDR concluded that a EIP was not necessary. So far an EIP has never been launched by the commission.

Whether this system was designed to ensure Germany is never sanctioned, or if it is simply a huge slow-moving bureaucracy, I leave as an open research question ;)

> some long DIP headers (10 USD)

You're severely underestimating the cost of wire-wrap sockets. They're a low-demand item, so they're rather expensive; a few dollars for each socket is typical, and DIP40 sockets can get into the $10 range. (The sockets will cost more than most of the parts in them!)

Your reformulation doesn't seem reasonable to me.

In both cases the vendor is refusing to conduct business with the customer due to religious beliefs. Why do you think it is OK for the customer to have to find a new photographer in one case but not a different baker in the other?

I really have a hard time with the idea that the government is expected to pick the "right" set of beliefs to back on what should just be a voluntary transaction. Either both parties agree to conduct business or they don't. I realize that a laissez faire approach to commerce is not what we have today but I would prefer it over asking the government to mediate. And I do realize that would allow people and businesses to discriminate, but that just represents a business opportunity for someone else.

Finance, fundamentally, is about managing risk and allocating money from the people who have it to the people that don't. Without finance and without banks, almost nothing we have today would even exist. There are people with ideas, and there are people with money. Without finance, neither would be able to meet. But when money and ideas meet, something magical and great happens: innovation and progress.
