Bad journalism is reporting false data, unverified data, misleading statistics, etc.

It’s not about tastes. For example, in subjects requiring data analysis, I don’t see why the thoughts of someone who doesn’t understand math and statistics would be as valid as someone who does.
Similar to Polish people having German passports because their families lived in the former German areas before WW II. Germany and The Netherlands had lots of Polish workers for three decades already because of that, long before they joined the EU.
How resistant are those systems with respect to tampering with the physical antenna ? Would someone tilting the antenna a few degrees towards the ground with a screwdriver cause significant perturbation ? Would flying a drone just in front of the antenna be enough to cause a misread ? What about a well positioned actively controlled reflector ?
No. The vast majority of the informed peoples of the EU campaigned and pleaded them not to pass Article 13. The fact they turn around and basically call us too stupid to know what's best is just icing on the cake. They ignored the people.

Honestly, the entire institution gets what it deserves. I've never seen such an utter shambles of democracy as bad as the Article 13 one.
That's at least what I heard from Polish friends that live in Germany. She's an architect, he has a project manager role in construction. Plenty of Polish people in construction in Germany, construction in Poland has lots of Romanians and Ukrainians, because it pays better for Poles to work further West.
A better analogy might be:

Suppose you wander into the desert and get lost. Suppose you're on the verge of dying from thirst when another person shows up. He says "I'll take you back to civilization, but only if you agree to be my slave forever".

You're not any worse off than if the slaver didn't exist, because you can always choose to reject the slaver's offer. Nobody is forcing you to do anything. Yet I think that most people would consider that a very unconvincing argument for permitting slavery: that a would-be slaver would simply not show up if slavery were illegal.

Arguing in favor of free will, you could say that all other things being the same, a world where you get lost in the desert and the slaver shows up is no worse than one where you get lost in the desert and nobody shows up.

Arguments in favor of control thus rely on all else not being the same, that making something illegal changes the wider society, not just any single individual's ability to do that thing.
How is that measured? I would think it would be rather hard to measure an activity that is illegal and clandestine.

Also 'trafficking' is a term that needs a precise definition as it means different things to different people.
US Propaganda and sentiment as instigated by this administration against China resembles cold war anti-Soviet sentiment in the 1970s and 80s.
Exactly. 10-15 years ago and more the situation or workers had been pretty grim in Poland so many people decided to migrate when borders opened.

Now with economy booming the employers are desperate with lack of workers and they are bringing them from wherever they can - Kazakhstan, India etc. Ukraine is the obvious source due to proximity and cultural similarities.

The newer newer viewpoint is to support sex workers in self-determination and labor organizing.

Edited to add that this is discussed explicitly in the article, as it mentions for instance the migrant sex worker collective Red Canary Song.

Hummingbird Algorithm: Ultra-Lightweight Encryption (2011) [pdf]
Rigour is the correct spelling in the UK.
New economic paradigm needed. Or we need to allocate wealth and capital to environmental systems so that they get the profit from the work that they provide so that they can provide for their existence. i.e. Instead of privatizing public resources to individuals we should create a corporate entity to represent the natural resource which should then accumulate profit from its use and that profit then should be used to guarantee its survival or in the case of something like oil its replacement.

If the plan above was to be implemented and the same tools used by corporations to increase profit and charge more for everything were used then it's a possibility that finite resources would quickly become luxury goods that generate tons of profit which is then used to increase their renewal, or for instance something like water to clear them better before releasing it back.... for that profit to be used to lobby governments to pass regulations to better protect water supplies from micro plastics, etc.
> but on the other hand it's clear that many EU constituents (those who actually pay taxes and employ people in the EU) felt that something had to be done.

Why do you think the EU constituents had anything to do with these laws? The laws were incentivised by the publishers. The crux in the EU is that the biggest part of the industry see the internet just as infrastructure and couldn't care less about net neutrality, censorship, equal access, or ad revenues. The only industries affected by those issues are tech companies and publishers.

The tech companies have a pro liberalisation stance while the publishers hate the internet's guts. Now guess where countries with strong and influential publishers and a nearly non existent tech industry are leaning to. That publications like Süddeutsche, Zeit, and FAZ have been portraying the internet as a bad and dangerous thing for decades now, doesn't help.

This looks great, and I look forward to finding time to try it soon.

However, I believe it's misleading to call it "open source". The SPPL license is not generally considered to be an open source licence by any meaningful definition, and in particular does not meet the OSI definition and is incompatible with most licences that do.

I understand the need these days to protect against aggressive cloud providers, but there are other ways to achieve that without becoming completely non open source, such as the BSL

How else do you find the value of something, other than to ask others what they’d pay for it?
My impression is that the Buddhist view, at least from a zen perspective, is not so much telling you that all that secondary stuff is 'literally' created by consciousness, but rather that attachment to this idea is part of the problem.

Being too attached to the idea that there is an objective reality outside of yourself is just as problematic as being attached to the idea that there is nothing outside of you subjective consciousness/experience.

The truth, possibly impossible to find out, probably lies somewhere in between.

The zen approach, as I understand it, is to focus on your own awareness of these two extremes, and to keep yourself from reifying either one. Instead, focus on your direct experience, on 'wu-wei', and consider these two extremes interesting perspectives that can help you on your path to 'naturalness'.

Personally I find this philosophy maddeningly unclear and subjective, but it's been the most helpful in my life when it comes to 'happiness', or perhaps 'contentment'.

Ok how is this sentence meant?

"(We still want something that's bad for us, so alcohol is the exception for historical reasons), but (for probably misguided utilitarian reasons, we don't allow all sorts of drugs)."

or

"We still want something that's bad for us, so (alcohol is the exception for historical reasons, but for probably misguided utilitarian reasons). We don't allow all sorts of drugs."

The former suggests we prohibit drugs for utilitarian reasons, misguided but utilitarian nonetheless, the latter seems odd by itself?
Economists know enough to form an argument for or against policy, and although they have a prevailing myth of non-affiliation with political parties, often bias thier research and advocacy, intentionally or not.

As a result they chum with people in power and help guide them using statistics and forcasting.

The problem is, economists are not all-knowing oracles and they often get things wrong or they advocate for a path which yields unintended consequences, sometimes regressing our states and cultures in the wrong direction.

Thier influence lasts generations, and they often may slip out of any accountability because they have no shame blaming their predicessors while promising that thier new models and forecasts are more complete and should still be listened to when making very political decisions on how to spend tax money.

Whether intentional or not economists often ignore or dismiss side effects of their actions. This means things like class struggles or the environment are not part of the equation upfront and therefore either become neglected at best or irriversibly changed for worse.

They focus solely on a few sources of capital instead.

As for myself, I now use the "8 forms of capital" described in the following post as my lense when making decisions, monitary or otherwise:

I'd be cautious with this article, it's a portal of the national Polish Press Agency and the link was posted by a 2-hour old account.

“As we have come to realize in recent years, Poland is often portrayed in foreign media not entirely accurately, and we want to gently modify this picture,” the president of the Polish Press Agency said in an interview.

As he went on to say, the aim of the website’s creators is to “reach specific opinion-forming circles” with the help of social media.

They are positioned literally at the runway, so the first protection is that you're probably not going to get to them with a screwdriver.

False glideslopes occur for many reasons, not just tilting the antenna, but also reflection or approaching them from outside the coverage area (the signal can leak in other directions). The protection is mostly in the check by the pilots that the altitude based on air pressure is correct for the indications. And there are regular calibration flights where the signals are checked against for example GPS position.

Apart from that the signals are monitored on the airport itself, but I'm not sure that would detect tilting it down just a little bit. I think it's more for other signals interfering or the transmitters failing in some way.

Edit: Oh and we have our GPS (or DME based) ground speed visible in the cockpit and know the descent rate in feet/minute (also displayed on the primary instruments) to expect for a correct glidepath with that speed. So if the descent rate is "off" almost any pilot would notice and start to think about what's causing it. If you can't figure out why the combination of data doesn't make sense, go around. That's basically in the first lesson of instrument flying.
Sigh.

I’d like to first say I think he is right.

I’ll also say that that he should probably keep his mouth shut and his head down in this area. Ford famously owns a FLEET (~10) of private planes and jets, 18 cars, and several homes. He once said he loves flying so much that he often “takes a plane up the coast for a cheeseburger”. His carbon footprint has to be several orders magnitude beyond the average human. The hypocrisy here is, quite frankly, astounding.
Part of it, historically, is the "reproductive" part. Cooking food for you doesn't result in a pregnancy and a kid who then grows up with a mom who was by definition in the position to consider sex work the best choice. And in fact if you're the child of an exploited sex worker (as opposed to the independent entrepreneur), you are a child in high danger of being exploited yourself, because exploiting you can be quite lucrative.

Now, we could help children by helping people and providing social services -- but it's easier to just make prostitution illegal.
Someone on Reddit gave an example of him deleting the license off a file he'd taken (and repo README only saying that the project is "by him").

Seeing how the rest of the files in the repo did have the same license remaining it was probably just a mistake, but this whole thing just gives off a really fucked vibe.

The average salary in Warsaw (highest in Poland) is 6k PLN. Google (as any reasonable IT company) will pay no less than 20k PLN for senior developers. I would say that it's a pretty good salary even for Warsaw standards...

Of course, B2B contracts are event better, mostly because of lower taxes but they have their own disadvantages (often they can be terminated within a week, you don't have PTOs etc.)
That’s an interesting way to look at it, and it got me thinking about how one might implement a blogging platform where discussion is more like comments in the margins of a book than some footnotes at the back of the book.
>There is a subtler problem too, explored a few years ago by the economists Xavier Gabaix and David Laibson. Even if an advert proclaiming “no hidden charges” is credible, it is not necessarily profitable. The problem is that not all customers would find the promise appealing. Some would instead infer “if you are good at avoiding hidden charges, try one of our competitors, who will offer you a cheap deal in the vain hope of ripping you off”. The transparent company would attract the suckers without exploiting them; the sneaky company would be a magnet for the sophisticates, who might well then avoid the tricks. The advertisement would backfire.

Without some experiments backing this up, this argument sounds contrived and perhaps overthought.

I seriously doubt there are that many "sophisticates" who factor that into their decision, even less so, sophisticates who would consciously go for the "hidden charges" business with the idea that their savviness would help them avoid the charges.

In any case, the fix is simple: regulating hidden charges away with business destroying penalties.

If the rental companies face a law that they should make all charges known in advance of be shut down, they'll change their tune in unison, and there would be no "hidden charge" competitor advantage...

> stating, without any evidence, that somehow conservatives claiming victimization is par for the course is about as low value as a comment can get

> the left wing using their utter domination of prestige media outlets to marginalize right wing ideas and viewpoints in the popular discourse

If you can't see the irony here then I can't help you.

Also, the "marginalized right wing ideas" meme is getting old. The only people who are deplatformed are the ones that are inciting hate and spreading literally fake news. Are those the kind of right wing ideas that you're worried about being marginalized, or did you have some examples about the left wing media cabal censoring ideas about how much of a role government should play in society, and how much we should be taxed? Be more specific if you want to be taken seriously.

Economics is about taking political arguments and assigning them to a clergy so that the people can't touch them. Economists relegate politics of the economy to a special class that is easy to control. They serve certain power structures. They obfuscate this power backed decision making with math.

Because it constitutes belief and/or knowledge.

Because it is true, or someone believes it to be so.

Because it carries explanatory power - something we all strongly desire.

You might call those reasons “purposes” - if so, I don’t disagree. But the truth or falsehood of an idea transcends any “purpose” someone may have for speaking it. This is the academic posture: to dispassionately evaluate truth claims without fearing the speaker.
It tells you a lot about the current state of innovation when a solution to dog-walking is being touted as the "Next Big Thing."
I think you're forgetting that the "replication crisis" also occurs in your so called "100% deterministic fields". CS has the issue of ML models, medicine drug studies, etc.

The bottom line is science is hard to do, and even harder to do right. I think all fields do try to follow the scientific method to the best of their ability, but for some fields it is simply harder to do because of the sheer complexity of the subject matter being hard to model, experiment in, and understand.
