>Can you elaborate? How does institutionalized injustice/violence "work well"?

It could very well be that some institutionalized violence is necessary for society to work, and some injustice is inevitable in the process (humans being imperfect).

If in your perfect anarchist society I was hell bent on smacking you down (and I was quite larger than you), would the society just let it happen, or would it employ some sort of "violence"? And if said society had some rules and/or specific people to handle those situations, wouldn't the violence be "institutionalized"?

>How could capitalist inequalities maintain themselves without a central State to exert violence against those who refuse this rule? How could a tyrannical regime maintain itself without sharing some of the benefits of exploitation with a (capitalist) elite?

Quite easily? We've had tyrannical regimes before capitalism two (feudal, asiastic, and several other forms).

We even had tyrannical regimes promising the end of tyranny and capitalism (e.g. Stalinist USSR).

Nothing to say we couldn't have a tyrannical regime promising anarchism as well. People can use all ideas/ideologies/regimes to serve their own purposes.

And of course you don't need a central state to have inequalities or tyranny.

A number of powerful groups that prey on less powerful ones is enough. They don't even have to be permanent, groups could assemble at will and at different configurations to prey on those less powerful (like e.g. barbaric tribes used to do) and then stop existing after they've succeeded.
My "favorite" infinite scrolling fail is when there is a footer on the site, and it keeps being pushed down by the infinite loading of new data, such that you can't reach any of the links the footer contains (like, you know, "About" or things like that).
Guardian editors have definitely decided Corbyn is the lesser evil, most of the hypercritical coverage is gone. The first year it was a non-stop barrage.

The rest of the press is still mostly at it, though.
In my building people are discussing installing a few charging spots until maybe everything has a charging port.

It's also discussed to be in the next building requirement code IIRC

Can any experienced Android developers weigh in on if the claim that Soong is better than Make generally holds?

MAKE has been used across the industry for large codebases - why is it no longer good enough for a mobile app?
I can't believe Apple made an dense and ugly slide like this: https://boygeniusreport.files.wordpress.com/2019/09/apple-ip...
I have a Sony A7 and a bunch of lenses. Prob 10k on lenses. I still use my iPhone 7 to take photos of my Daughter cos capturing the moment is more important the the detail or colour of the photo.
If you look at plasma attenuation of a reentry body, it’s about 30 dB. Even a thin sheet of foil or perforated screen is way more (> 100 dB).

They just need to hook an antenna to a spectrum analyzer (with low noise path) and measure the noise density. If it is anywhere slightly above -174 dBm/Hz, then it is not going to function well as a satcom antenna.

That picture they show of the tube taped onto the LNB feed, they say it “intercepted” the signal. Do they mean it blocked it? Sure, it will if the plasma is conductive enough, but it should also drop the noise coming out of the receiver. Maybe it swamped the receiver with noise. Can’t tell. If they can pattern the lower frequency antennas, they can certainly take the time to do some noise measurements.

Maybe the issue is exciting the plasma, and that is noisy. I’d think you couldn’t do it with pulse excitation unless you limited the rise time. You could do it with CW, say a magnetron, way outside your operating band.
> Can you move to another EU country without a job and receive benefits?

Europeans generally refer to "being on benefits" as unemployment allowance, and no, you cannot move from a poor European country to a rich one to get a higher standard of living unless you can work, or can be supported by someone who works. Certain kinds of social programs in the US have this property as well.

Americans often refer to medical care/insurance as a "benefit", which might be confusing here, but yes you absolutely can (as a European) move to another country without a job and still get medical care in the area you have just moved to.
risk to what ? you can probably clone the SIM (unless your carrier is aware that it's a "special" SIM, probably not) but then what ? you leave the car unconnected and that's it. You can't steal anything from it or the car itself.
The last time I got my SIM reissued (the old one was too big for my new phone), I had the old SIM with me and I still had to show government-issued documents matching the registered SIM owner.
> You say that but my music collection is 3+ tb of flacs

Can the DAC on your Android actually benefit from the FLACs? Might make sense to re-encode the library into a format better suited to the playback hardware and leave the FLACs at home where the audio hardware benefits from it.
I’ve always wondered how programming works and what exactly run through the mind of programmers that give them such output.

I decided to hunt and share with the awesome steemhunt community. You may check it out.

The Guardian has never been full left, or organ of the Labour party, always centre-left more where the old Liberal Party once sat.

They don't seem that much moved, if anything they are more "of the left" today than they've ever been, just not necessarily Corbyn's left. Being so negative on Corbyn in the run up to 2015 may well have damaged many folk's views of them.
Staying Up to Date While Selling Your ATS
Does Jones even work at the paper anymore? He has the occasional op-ed but I think most of the time he's actually employed by the Labour Party.
The written list of one-time passwords (not a "pad" the One Time Pad is a specific crypto design that largely exists to compare things to rather than as a practical gizmo) fails the requirement in 2018/389 because it doesn't end up verifying the specific transaction.

Suppose you have password '47BF-38AP-3M99' on the list. You get a plausible email from your friend Barry saying he needs €40 urgently. You send €40 using that password and instructions Barry gave about some web site for transferring money.

Oops. That wasn't Barry, crooks used Barry's email account to send the message and the €40 transfer turns out to have been a transaction to empty your account of €5830.26 but '47BF-38AP-3M99' was correct so the bank OK'd it.

The regulation aims to arrange that the second factor involves the transaction value 5830.26 which is weird for you because you are trying to send Barry €40. You would probably realise something is wrong when typing 5830.26 into an authenticator, or else, the crooks only get €40 which is a bad pay-off for such a sophisticated attack.

My good bank gave me a weird chiclet keypad device years ago that I have to type stuff into while doing online transactions. So I'd have to type the amount into that device. It whitelists certain actions, so if I keep sending Barry money, I think I don't have to type the amount in every time or something.

The EU rules definitely don't forbid your bank doing something better here, but I can see that the way that bank chose to implement them hasn't helped you which sucks.
this is almost exactly my workflow, but before clicking on a first box I additionally wait several seconds until the page loads. Also, sometimes I extend that workflow with silent cursing and contemplating self-harm
"Am considering taking Twitter private at $420. Funding secured."

Just a single tweet from Musk, caused a big wave in the value of Tesla + a serious bollocking from the SEC.
Uber have talked about their internal chat app, uChat.

When OP says they built their own internal chat app, that's not entirely accurate - uChat is built upon Mattermost.

1. Yes.

2. 10nm is a short term node, only as a stepping stone to 7nm.

3. A-11 would move it too close to Pro.

Since they did not mention EUV in their A13 presentation, I am betting A13 is actually a 7nm+ design. And all 7nm are long term node, iPad upgrade path might look more like A10 >> A12 > A13 over the span of next 3 - 4 years.
Isn't texting usually used in 2-factor-authentification?

Unfortunately it is also used far too often as 1-factor authentication for password resets, making 2-factor authentication essentially pointless.
A protection from some things but not others. Since 2016 the editorial direction of the BBC is set by a board of 13, where 11 are appointed by the government: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/mar/13/government-cho...
It's hard to argue with the results. If it was less fun then fewer people would be playing them.
That's just as heinous as those news sites which load the next article when you scroll to the bottom of the current article. It appears to sometimes be part of the article you're reading and then your on another page trying to figure out what the hell happened. I really don't know how these so-called designers get paid to confuse their readers and customers.
Book: Vim from Scratch (Beta)
Thank you. But any person with morals would do the same. No, I worked there for a few months. After a while they reached out to get me back there, but I declined.
Not related to his Corben pieces but Owen Jones is probably one of the weakest journalists I've read. It is clear his articles get clicks because he keeps being featured but I cannot stand his pieces.
This is certainly what banks and telcos will tell you, but it’s simply not true.

For example, the idea that banks should maintain appropriate reserves and refrain from taking on certain kinds of risks doesn’t imply that banks should be the arbiters of who is allowed to send and receive digital payments. The movement away from cash to digital has handed them extraordinary power over all economic activity in the country.

Telcos have responded to attempts to shake up the industry by acting in non-competitive ways, the primary reason why NONE of the new entrants from the last wireless spectrum auction still exist as independent entities, and why no foreign telcos have any interest in investing in the space. We don’t enforce our own competition laws, leading to a small group of extraordinarily profitable companies at the expense of the rest of the economy.

They aren't in preventive prison due to their political ideas but they're being accused of committing very specific and serious crimes, like rebellion, sedition, and embezzlement.

The whole trial has been live streamed.

About your second question, making threats, insulting the Crown, and glorification of terrorism is not just 'singing about the king'.

That's not free speech.
Because they aren't targeting the people who upgrade every year. The current iPads (and iPhones) are for the people with 4-5 year old devices.

For them it's not an "incremental upgrade", 4-5 yearly incremental upgrades sums up to one big upgrade.
> That said, even if he is, do you think that his behavior would be consider sane?

I think your prejudices see him as some sort of insane man. When, as I've written above, there are people who spend a lot of cash indiscriminately.
Not all of us have to be financially careful.

> His story is just to point out how the sense of worthlessness in some people is financially exploited by prestigious brand like Apple.

Apple did not exploit anyone. If you desire something so much, then go for it. What imperative does Apple have to forbid someone to exercise their freedom?
This sounds like bad faith argument, surely the EU investing billions in infrastructure or adopting consumer protection is not just marketing? That's a lot of effort to go through just to get the EU flag in people's faces.

Even if this is a bad faith argument - and it's fine if it is - that only serves to illustrate the EU's 'marketing' is not effective.
You point out p-values can be troubling because there's all sorts of bad incentives that lead to p-hacking and publication bias. The author points out that even if those bad incentives didn't exist, p-values aren't all that useful to begin with. That's not "missing the point", it's just pointing out a different aspect of the situation.
Yes of course, even if my IDE doesnt autocomplete anyway. Code is read much more often than it is written.

Yes, I do want to read out what I type and possible speak it to collegues without sounding like I have a fn seizure.
In Europe there are plenty of Huawei and Samsung Android tablets to choose from.

On the other hand, they also have nice looking Surface like Windows tablets.

Personally given the whole story with updates (mine is stuck on 5.0) and crippling Java support, I rather go with a Surface like tablet or iPad.
It's dense (but they've had dense slides before) and it's a departure from their previous aesthetic (which they've also done before) but it's not objectively ugly.
It's not so much that the US forgot what antitrust is for, it's that the current powers that be disagree with it, and have a tendency to pervert anything they disagree with, rather than being honest about their opposition to it.

Same thing with health care and other measures that are meant to benefit the general public. Opposing things that benefit the general public doesn't win them votes, so they need to put a clever spin on their opposition to it. But ultimately, they want things that benefit rich people, particularly party donors.
iPads used to be just pure consumption devices (video, web, books). But now they can actually be used for media production and writing.

The only thing still missing is software development, but that's a bit of a special case anyway.
They mention "digital transformation" at the end and man Google is not the right partner for that. They are a software company, not business consultants. I'm sure they have no respect for what it takes to make non-tech people change their way of thinking.
I'd prefer a quill holder / ink-bottle shaped one.

With pleasure: It's basically rsync or robocopy for Windows, but wrapped up in a nice GUI with additional features.

I've used both and still use rsync on a daily basis, and one thing I don't miss is meticulously sifting through command line syntax in order to ensure all my data isn't accidentally destroyed.

More to the point, the amazing part is the ethos and quality to which Bvckup2 is built. It's one of those rare gems that's essentially software excellence. It's fast, it's lean, it's very narrow in scope, and it has a mirror-shine polish. Software like that is a thing of beauty these days.

It's made my backup situation on Windows an absolute pleasure to deal with, so that's why I recommend it.
What is your situation that you want to identify smugglers but aren't part of a government organization that can already source xray machines?

While this might be the most powerful handheld one(don't know, didn't verify the authors claims), there certainly are already portable commercial scanners available.

And one final thought - anywhere that has 1) smuggling problems, and 2) very intermittent power will also almost certainly have high levels of corruption. Getting scanners into the hands of backwater security personnel means nothing if they only need a few packs of the smuggled cigarettes to not even turn them on.
Personally I’ve never used an iPad (nothing against, just more of an android guy) but I’m more surprised that split view, pop over, custom fonts, external storage displayed in the storage viewer and all are apparent just new on it. Phone I can understand but on tablet it seems late.
Microsoft's donation of $4.3 million to both parties as well as think tanks like Cato and Americans for Tax Reform might also have had something to do with the weak ass settlement.

I have narcolepsy and I'm the opposite, under high stress / high pressure environments I fall asleep.

Programming provides me with a stress-less job that I can work at my own pace.

I take modafinil too, if I come off that I am totally hopeless, in a vague half-sleep all the time. Very interesting to hear about others conditions!
That feature is also available without 3D Touch, just use a long press.
To me that’s just an eyeroll sort of thing. It’s funny because I actually agree pretty significantly with his politics and a lot of his writing, but find the writing itself to be bad, especially at ever seeming fair or balanced, like an even more self-righteous Krugman. I first heard of Monbiot because Radiohead’s lead singer, Thom Yorke, apparently knows him and somewhat promotes his writing. At any rate, no, Monbiot pieces would definitely not be a dent in what I am saying (for me anyway).

> To say it again: it is completely consistent with the null hypothesis to see p-values of 0.2 and 0.005 from two replications of the same damn experiment.

I don't really follow this. Could someone clarify what is meant here? At what point would this author say something is not consistent with the null hypothesis?
> I know that nobody should be stretching themselves financially thin for a newer iPhone.

I think people are free to do whatever they want with their money. Is my view an extreme one nowadays?

Same boat here, I got an iPad Air (first gen) refurbished many years ago. Still works great, and I used it this morning. Showing no signs of not working properly, unlike old iPhones seem to do when they're dated. I like the new ones, but I can't imagine spending money on one in my current situation.

> A4 is 297mm x 210mm which is very very close to √2.

It is √2 for the ability to cut paper for mass manufacturing: the difference between the official A4 measurements and a "true" sqrt(2) is 16µm (assuming the short side is the reference).
And also losing $1B per quarter subsidizing cheap rides for growth and market share.

There just really isn't that much demand for a $20 2-mile ride in the city. Uber has show that there is a HUGE demand for the same trip at $4.
What Happened to Urban Dictionary?
I understand your point, but ultimately this isn't something a poor individual is going to face. The fraud perpetrated here can only be carried out by the relatively well off so if the sentence is something that they can just brush off, e.g. A big fine, then where is the equality? A poor person who was facing the same charge would no doubt be unable to pay the fine and would get jail time as a result of failing to pay.

So while what you say is true, we need to ensure that the poor are not disproportionately affected by justice, and perhaps justice does need to factor in wealth when considering sentencing.

Although that does happen at present in the US, unfortunately the wrong way around. Rich kids getting lenient sentences for offences poor kids face time for.
You'd laugh at me, but I am still using a LiveJournal clone - Dreamwidth. This pre-social network is quite comfortable to be in. It is, so-to say, non-invasive. You'd never see a post from someone you didn't subscribe to. There are no ads. No mental viruses to pick-up. Just what a social media is meant to be for ordinary people to keep in touch with some friends. And of course there is no mobile client to ring a dozen times a hour. I just read my friends list when it is comfortable for me.

And I visit my facebook account weekly, via desktop browser, only to see what's up with my friends hanging up there.

I very seldom do likes, as I know that my likes could show up in my friends' feeds. There are NO notifications from social network or media on my phone. I call it "information hygiene".

And yes, like others mentioned, I've got A LOT of spare time for books, hobbies, movies etc.
There is whole group of people in social sciences who are pushing for abandoning the null hypothesis testing methods. For the reason you mentioned, I cannot believe changing the test (or threshold of the test) would solve this issue. You ask people to find something significant or fit a model to a data — and tell them that's what matters — and they'll do it, either intentionally or unintentionally.

Machine Learning will (have) the same issue if the only thing that matters is hitting a certain level of accuracy given your model and data. This has been observed in Kaggle competitions over and over, you ask a group of people to find the best fit, and they'll, by learning your train, validation and test datasets.

As mentioned, problem is not p-value, or null hypothesis testing, the problem is journals who promoted the wrong incentive, and educators who were not aware of the consequences and propagated the wrong incentive (interpretation) to students.

Australia has a comparable tax burden to the USA and also has universal public healthcare with the option to purchase additional private coverage. The public system guarantees that all conditions will be treated, but you may have to wait. The private system gives you considerable flexibility and, because patients who would normally cause adverse selection fall more heavily onto the public system, is much cheaper than equivalent insurance in the USA.

Since we're ticking off items, Australia has both a public pension scheme and compulsory private retirement savings (superannuation). Taxes on petrol are higher than the US but lower than Europe.

I think you've been sucked in by the talking points, mate.
I think you should reread the article because it's exactly what the blog author says. Blog author who btw is Andrew Gelman, not just some random guy on Medium, his blog is well well worth reading. Fighting bad stats in science is kind of his hobby/life mission.
Uber is not Taxi. OP point is still correct. Taxi companies are coming back but Uber drivers get fired.
Nonsense. eBay makes selling happen on their platform, does that make eBay a store and all sellers employees of eBay?

Uber also is a technology company just like eBay.

He is coming at that conclusion from a Bayesian point of view to statistics. He is seeing the p-value as a random variable that can take values from 0 to 1 and follows some distribution. Under these hypotheses, observing a p-value of 0.20 and 0.005 is completely reasonable even if unlikely. Those are just two draws from a random variable.

Edit. Under Bayesian statistics testing the null hypothesis is a moot point as it becomes possible to directly model the distribution of the possible effects. Thinking of it as being able to look at a picture of something (the p-value) vs looking at a movie of it (the distribution of the effects).
