> They gave it back with the condition that HK would remain quasi-independent until 2050.

This is I guess the core of the problem - how is this enforceable?

> That being said, there are limits to the tolerance

Indeed, there is a wide spectrum of cases where states defied and still defy federal statutes. I picked my example as something that seemed so extreme that it would be hard to tolerate unlike some of the other examples you mentioned.

> But that's a bad analogy because the HK citizenry aren't trying to take away others' rights; they're trying to give themselves more.

My analogy breaks down at that level of detail, yes. My goal for that analogy was to describe something that:

- a minority of the population desires (RI vs. HK)

- is egregiously against the enclosing country's founding principles (the US Constitution vs. whatever China has - absolute CP authority?)

I was not trying to match the direction of more freedoms or less freedoms or what have you.

Bottom line, and I am not condoning this - I used the word "unfortunately" - but I don't see much stopping China from pulling a Crimea here.

Also: Edit: Thank you for your thoughtful comment.
> This is why we have the second amendment.

It's not why we have the 2nd Amendment. 2A applies only to militias, and the Constitution explicitly gives Congress power over State militias to suppress insurrections:

"The Congress shall have Power To... provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions" [1]

Further, the Militia Act of 1792 allows the president to commandeer them as well, and this was famously used by George Washington himself to quell the Whiskey Rebellion.

2A is just a relic from a time when the US had neither the resources nor the political will to create and maintain a standing army. It's been co-opted very recently by the Right to rile people up and drive them to the polls (while incidentally enriching themselves), but it's completely outdated. The only reason anyone thinks otherwise is that Scalia legislated from the bench in Heller to resurrect it.

The major reason in Italy is enormous fragmentation of capital. We lost most big concentrations in the years following the 1970s crisis because the direction the post-crisis restructuration took has been towards very small enterprises and not the consolidation of big groups.
Reasons for this are complex, but I would call as the two most important

1. the way the urbanisation process during Les Trente Glorieuses didn't push people into working for big companies as much as in other European countries, leaving more room for small companies in later years (there are also historical reasons for this unusually stronger weight of small capital, of course, which go long back to the past);

2. how the political cadres didn't have enough, basically, courage, to push for the consolidation of bigger companies, if not in a way that amounted to stitching some smaller low-productivity companies together - pushing for an increased industrial productivity would have meant that many smaller enterprises would have gone out of business, that would have meant the loss of MANY votes from those social groups! Excuse me if I say something controversial, but just read up on the Reggio Calabria riots in 1970, especially the afternath.

The 1980s have been characterised by the widespread diffusion of the SME model (the meme was "piccolo è bello" - small is beautiful), also with remarkable examples like Veneto which saw a real facelift, turning from a somewhat still rural region into the homeland of the "capannone" (the small industrial shed) in little less than 10 years!
Personally I think that all of this has been a major mistake, but maybe unavoidable due to the social structure and history of the country.

But in all of this, consider also that northern Italy is basically Europe's second most important industrial zone (we serve as component makers for the larger industries of northern Europe)

So.. it is very complicated.
I can't believe you pulled a "both sides" line comparing The Daily Show and The Rush Limbaugh Show. This is not apples to apples.

Perhaps Rush's (or to use a more current example, Tucker Carlson's) viewers are so twisted that they no longer recognize what a comedy show is. That doesn't mean we become just as unreasonable as they are. It's not The Onion's fault when someone "eats the onion".

This is great for researchers in Africa and the surrounding area, but it seems a simpler solution would be for the CS community to move towards placing greater weight on journals, rather than conferences (like just about all other disciplines). It's not just researchers in the poorer countries of Africa that struggle. Even graduate students in the US can be put in difficult situations where a paper is accepted but they have no travel support from their advisor, department, or institution.

As an anecdote, I recently had to put up $1,500 of my own money to travel to a conference in Italy because my advisor doesn't have any funding and my department only paid for registration. Luckily my wife works and it wasn't an issue paying for the trip, but it was still a frustrating experience.

> The primary issue is that vaccines are becoming a very large percentage of pharmas profits

[Citation needed]. Vaccines are practically sold at break-even cost, and in fact in the last few decades many companies have exited the vaccine market entirely because there was so little money to be made.

> as well as there being protections for the industry to prevent people for suing them if a vaccine turns out to be actually unsafe

These liability protections exist because vaccines are so unprofitable. If you didn't have indemnity for a product that both

a) gets distributed to almost everyone, and so even tiny probabilities of side effects result in large absolute numbers of cases

b) has a tiny profit margin

no one would ever take on that risk, and the only way for vaccines to get made would be from nationalized industries.
Look at politics in the US. It would never be the whole country against a dictator. A much more likely scenario would be something like 50% supporting the dictator and 50% rebelling. I don't know how it would play out, but I know it would be ugly. The reasonable course for most people would be to flee.

> do you really think a militia of armed citizens would be anything but gnats against the windshield of the United States Armed Forces?

Yes, absolutely. If it's a true revolt.

The reason for this is because if the rebels have support of the population then they can get intelligence and material support from said population. They will be able to walk circles around military bureaucracy.

Were as the USA Military is dependent on the USA population for economic support. No economic support means no military sustainability. Sure they have stockpiles of weapons and whatnot, but there is more that is need to run a successful campaign against domestic guerrillas then just stockpiles of weapons.

The reality is that in order to overthrow the Federal government all the American people have to do is just choose to stop paying their taxes and refusing to do business with the Federal government. The Federal government would be dead within months.

Firearms are redundant. What they are useful for, however, is to prevent politicians from getting bad ideas... like using the military against their own population.

The distance has to be very great - 21 feet is often quoted as the minimum distance where a gun wins over a knife. And many barrooms are less than that.

It would probably start with ICE. The gradual expansion of their powers to hold any person in prison until they can prove they're not an immigrant. The continued expansion of use of those against Latino communities. Voter sweeps: go to polling stations and arrest everyone who looks like they might be a Democrat. That kind of thing.
They might need to reduce their flying time slightly, but you don't need hours and hours of reserve power unless you're flying long distances over the ocean (which requires specially certified equipment anyway). The FAA only requires 30 minutes of reserve fuel, or 45 minutes if flying at night. That is almost certainly enough to get you to the nearest usable airfield.

Also, bear in mind that it's much easier to accurately and reliably measure a battery's state of charge than it is to measure how many gallons of fuel are in an airplane's wing.

Intelligent people who disagree with me is an oxymoron.

I mean, honestly, do you think that vaccines are harm free panacea for all that ills humanity? One of the reasons that the anti-vaxxer movement is so dangerous is precisely because vaccines are dangerous and some people's bodies are intolerant to them (most obviously imuno compromised individuals).

Having a good idea is at least half of what will determine a successful product.

The problem is that people confuse having an idea with having a good idea.

Not meaning to pass judgement on the author, but I agree that the literary value of this article holds promise!

To me, there was something vaguely Dostoevskyan about this piece. There's the dithering nature of the conversations described (never addressing the point, always going in circles), the incessant references to people by their acts of intrigue and rank (is the "associate director" today's "titular councilor"?), the general absence of content describing the "real" work the characters are nominally paid for, except as an accessory to some greater plot point that circles back into the previous two themes.

I guess that medium-to-large-sizd tech orgs are good on the path towards becoming a labyrinthine, 19th Century, Russian bureaucracy! I hope that some comparable literature emerges from such fertile soil .

Absolute horndog, no scruples, and a complete narcissist. Basically worse than they make him out to be. Del Bigtree is very similar.

The Tommey family (worked with Andy on Vaxxed) are some of the kindest people I've ever met, and I'd like to see them again.

Suzanne Humphries is possibly one of the smartest people I know, and is incredibly well-read. She's a nephrologist who started charting patterns around people getting flu shots followed by sudden kidney failure, well before Andy did his "research". She brought this to the attention of a researcher, and was promptly dismissed.
She's not anti-vaccine, but is pro-vaccine-safety, which I appreciate as an intellectually honest position. Out of the whole crowd, she's the person I would listen to. She's a bit like Andrew Yang; she doesn't hold opinions, the data is her opinion.

I'm not sure why this is getting downvotes. I'm answering the question.
Actually, that feels like a bigger issue: Does all of this have to run on a mac? That basically precludes build farms, since Apple doesn't make the xserve line anymore and doesn't play nice with virtualization. I guess you could build a farm of desktops...
What % of the military do you think will fight for the president? You only need enough weapons(dependent on that %) to create enough of a _mess_, to make it never worth pursuing.
You probably could not, unless you set your EC-135 up way ahead of AF1 and took a crazy pursuit angle and timed the impact perfectly. The maximum speeds of the two planes are within 10mph of each other (at least, a base C-135 and a base 747. I'm sure there's some variance between those and an EC-135 and AF1 due to equipment loadouts and whatnot).

Flutter Overtaking React Native on Stack Overflow
> Even the supposedly nightmarish engineering director could, from another angle, possibly be seen in a good light: Insisting on proper analysis and design before a project commences, taking a deep interest in the technical part of the project.

In what world is it a good idea for an engineering director to take a deep interest in technical details of a project? Suppose that the director was right and author was wrong in ~all of their disagreements, but just that the author was simply telling the truth about two things: the director spending two weeks doing design mockups, and intervening to specify the type of a database column. This makes the director somebody who is (a) not doing their actual job, and (b) probably nightmarish to work for no matter whether you are a "low performer" or a superstar.

You cannot be an effective manager and simultaneously maintain enough engineering context to make good technical decisions. If you want to be involved in detailed technical design, you need to switch your career track back to IC. And if you are running a company and you want either good technical decisions or high morale among your engineers, you can't tolerate managers playing at being engineers instead of doing their actual jobs. (With something like a manager maintaining a small low-priority internal tool, or doing a rotation onto an engineering team for a week to refresh their intuitive handle on the state of the codebase & tooling but no expectation of being a net-positive contributor, being the exceptions that prove the rule.)

Never heard of the p2p reputation at Yale. May be true, but have never seen it. My understanding is that it would only help if the kids weren't going to get in on their own merits, and by all accounts, this was not an issue. It is a signalling mechanism that they are going to pay full price or more, but I see no evidence that they bought their way in.

While true, protestors can't just resort to drawing their guns and firing warning shots. Police have a civil duty to uphold the law and be professional, not to go out fighting protestors and then flash their guns to scare them away when they're losing.

Layer 5 belongs before Layer 4, its more like a half layer similar to IP vs MAC. OAuth is a way to communicate someones registered personhood securely.

The last layer should be "Persona" and be about how people present their personality and behavior, having potentially multiple identities, characters, depending on the service, context, how much anonymity exists, etc and it would be akin to Layer 7 Applications, running on top of our wetware. Steven Colbert vs Steven T Colbert.
> folks are happy to hit accept and roll on.

My guess is: They are not happy. They accept it because a lot of effort is put in dark patterns to make it seem unavoidable.

Also a lot of effort seems to have been put into making the opt-in alternative the default - to the point where I'm not comfortable calling it opt-in any more.
