It is said of a lot of things in mathematics that you simply need to get used to them. This process does take months or years, and once you went through it you probably no longer understand how it feels to not understand those things.

The 5-10 minutes explanation is what you get in a lecture. You may even think that you understand afterwards. Years later, you're going to look back and realize that you really didn't understand much at all.

In Firefox you can add "ui.systemUsesDarkTheme" as an integer in about:config and set it to "0" for forced light or "1" for forced dark. This setting changes what is reported by the media query, you can still set your OS and/or browser theme independently. You will need to restart Firefox to apply the setting.

That's a very strange and non-standard definition of "slavery". By that definition, any job-creation programme undertaken by any government at any time in history is "slavery" or "serfdom". You're free to define "slavery" in that manner, of course, but then don't be surprised when others find your definition confusing.
I didn't know this was a thing. Is Google really that worried about being politically correct? Are there lots of people that care about this?

This is kind of the same as the first time you enable Little Snitch. IMO it’s good to reveal that you’re running dozens of applications with basically full access to all your files.

I’d rather give additive permissions to applications, since I’ve seen evidence time and again that security is one of the lowest priorities for most development shops.

It’s annoying the first time after upgrading (I haven’t done it yet), but it is infrequent after that.

Except for the Safari 13 download authorization prompt for every domain. That is a little more annoying to me.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in order to perform this attack you need to be connected to the router's LAN in order to access the admin page, right? So you would need to gain access to the WiFi or attach a computer to the router via Ethernet. This cannot be exploited over the internet, unless perhaps the user enables the admin page via WAN.

Also the UBS pig incident:

https://fortune.com/2019/06/17/ubs-china-pig-paul-donovan/

That one wasn't even anything apparently political, just absurd snowflake-scale sensitivity on the part of a whole country:

Donovan made the “Chinese pig” comment on Wednesday as he attempted to explain why the country’s swine flu outbreak shouldn’t concern investors eyeing the international inflation outlook.

“Does this matter? It matters if you are a Chinese pig,” Donovan said. “It matters if you like eating pork in China. It does not really matter to the rest of the world. China does not export a lot of food. The only global relevance would be if Chinese inflation influenced politics and other policies.”

Somehow the second sentence got interpreted as an insult - or was it just part of a trend of throwing weight around, as you suggest?

One of China’s biggest state-owned infrastructure companies excluded UBS Group AG from a bond deal after the bank’s global chief economist sparked a furor with his use of the phrase “Chinese pig.”

The comment was condemned by two Communist Party publications and by trade groups representing Chinese brokerages. Haitong International Securities Group, which competes against UBS for China-related business, said on Friday that it had suspended its activities with the bank.

Honestly, having watched this sort of stuff for years my own business interest in China is dead. Yes, it's a big market. But you can live very comfortably serving the rest of the world. Facebook and Google are banned there, they still mint more money than they can spend. Ignoring that market completely seems like a recipe for a much simpler life.
And they'll all protest in silence.
> It's like the Americans who love America, because America made them rich, are now loving China because China is richer.

China isn't richer. That debunks the rest of your follow-on premise. China has less than half the household wealth of the US. The US has 35%-40% of all the world's millionaires and about 32%-34% of all the world's wealth (with just 4% of the population).

Fun fact of the day: Since any of the years 1990, 2000, 2005, 2010 (pre or post great recession) the US has produced more new household wealth than China has. Not an outcome very many people would expect. China went from $4 to $52 trillion in household wealth since the year 2000 and the US gain still exceeded that gain by another 1/3.

Since just 2007-2008 the US has added $42 trillion in new household wealth, and only added $1.7 trillion in new household debt. The greatest net positive household balance sheet expansion in world history. Americans have been busy boosting savings (~8% savings rate) and paying down their mortgages (share of homes without a mortgage at 15-20 year highs along with strong growth in household equity figures).
Unless I missed some setting it seems like the speedtest is only for the US data center(s). Is there any way to test the speed to the EU data center?

On the bright side, there is no governorship or senate seat up for grabs, so the stakes are considerably lower.
Others think govt is merely an extension of natural law...

Similarly, Sabine notes the position of John Locke in Essay concerning Human Understanding:

[Civic power] can have no right except as this is derived from the individual right of each man to protect himself and his property. The legislative and executive power used by government to protect property is nothing except the natural power of each man resigned into the hands of the community…and it is justified merely because it is a better way of protecting natural right than the self-help to which each man is naturally entitled.
I supported Clinton's invitation of China into a more liberal trade arrangement,but it has not worked out as anyone in the US had hoped. Thompson's conclusion is an important insight:
"Money, like tech, is amoral. If we insist it matters most our own morals will inevitably disappear."
Maybe people could how it's done in other countries.

> I get Apple wants to make people feel their in control of their privacy, but literally every app I use for work prompts me for every permission imaginable.

I agree wholeheartedly, and outright reject the premise of the original statement.

This is a choice that they make. Yes, having a legacy support team is going to cost a bit of money, but not a ridiculous amount. Maybe instead of having a ridiculous number of barely-differentiated SKUs, they could lighten the support burden a bit by making a smaller number of solid well-supported models.

Edit: also, basing the models on a common platform would help too. I assume they generally do this already, but if not...

You have a good analogy in that China has different systems of political correctness. But it's not just fear of the consequences as to why criticizing the government offends China.

First, criticism, or rather, speech welds actual power in China and can effect real change in the power structure, unlike that in the West where freedom of speech is like freedom of wild animals - free, but powerless. And second, the CCP is actually totalitarian in the reverse sense that it is the total responsibility of the CCP to run every aspect of the country, listen to all the people, and solve all grievances and problems, because if they don't, they lose legitimacy and heads will roll, starting from the highest place then millions. This is coming from both politically Leninist vanguardism and culturally the notion of the Mandate of Heaven.

Now we can argue this form of government lacks checks and balances and likely produces extreme outcomes, but it can also be argued that it is truly held accountable to the people to deliver what the people want in contrast to the west where the government is merely responsible to the strongest lobbies.
Definitely not true. Not even close.

I'll admit the Dutch IRS site is lacking in info. I remember this information from reading the IRS handbook (ugh) back when I was a sole trader there, and extensive conversations with my accountant on the matter.

However, I would bet good money that a separate invoice category per client is not OK. Very interested to be proven wrong.

True enough. I probably should have prefaced my comment with "off-topic". I just felt like commenting on the general situation Stallman is currently in.

It's not just Stallman, though, it seems to me that a lot more of these types of situations have been coming to light recently. I'm not really sure what the catalyst for that would be perhaps it's the #metoo tag on twitter or perhaps that's the result of a changing socio-political climate.

I don't think your points are well supported.

The state of Saudi Arabia absolutely does play nice with the rest of the world - that's why we support them even though they are ugly internally. They are a source of stability in the region, the opposite of Iran.

Iran is a hostile, belligerent state, trying to obtain nuclear weapons, they are actively threatening Saudi Arabia trying to turn it into Syria-like chaos. Conversely, Saudi Arabia is not trying to overthrow the Iranian state. Iran is actively trying to overthrow Israel (Hezbollah, Hamas, bases in Syria, control of Lebanon). Iran has troops all over Syria and Iraq. They are holding ships in the Gulf hostage, playing tricky military games, threatening everyone's shipping.

Iran's source of Oil wealth is an important factor in their ability to make money - but nobody in Saudi or the West cares about it in the sense that they will ever have access to it. There are zero 'Oil Contracts' for Exxon, Halliburton, Total or anyone else in the future.

The American 'embargo' of Cuban Oil is irrelevant - Cuba does not have meaningful oil resources, moreover, the term 'embargo' is misapplied: the US does not 'embargo' Cuba. Cuba can sell to the entire world, just not the USA. Again, it's irrelevant because there's very little oil and the US would be just one customer.

Syria doesn't have any meaningful Oil reserves to the point wherein it rises to being part of the geopolitical equation - ergo - nobody cares. Iran doesn't care about Syria 'because of Oil' - and nobody else does either. It's a small part of their economy, just like anything else. Like the 'Cuban oil' point, it's not going to factor into the regional equation.

'Human Rights' progress can only be made when areas are relatively stable, so if you care about that, then look to have the hostile regimes aborted.

The point is that Google entered the Chinese market like everyone else. When they pulled out the writing was on the wall anyway: China was rigging the game in favour of Baidu.

> But the only other real possibility is to legislate that such updates be made available for N years as part of the purchase conditions.

What would be better is to require that the firmware be replaceable with something like DD-WRT or OpenWRT. One of the biggest issues with hardware like this is that the original manufacturer goes out of business and yet millions of people still have their devices.

You can't require updates from a company that no longer exists, but that's not really a problem if their hardware can run the latest versions of half a dozen different open source router firmwares.
I would personally prefer voting remain unconditionally open to everyone, because treating it that way avoids future societal repression over [insert moral panic over reasonably harmless subject here] and because the total number of the kind of people you cite are a rounding error compared to overall voter turnout totals.
> the implementation never attempts to make sure that every voter has an ID

I would be fine with requiring voting jurisdictions to make reasonable efforts to do this if ID will be required to vote. I would also be fine with providing federal funds to allow, for example, increased resources at DMVs or other ID issuing facilities to support this.
Burden of proof may need to be on the employer here. Much of the research here revolves around extracting human readable decision support, e.g. "I recommend this person for hire 25 percent because they have experience in devops and 75 percent because they were on the men's cross country crew."
Rule of law is necessary, not sufficient, for justice. You cannot have justice if you do not know what behavior will get you punished, and you cannot know what behavior will get you punished if the government can act arbitrarily with impunity.

Edit in reply to below: the issue in China is precisely that the government's response to criticism is unpredictable. If Xi Jinping criticizes Chinese policy, that means a new policy is now in place. If a random guy on the street criticizes Chinese policy... maybe he'll be fine? Or maybe not. Depending on where and to whom he says it and how nice public officials are feeling that day.
