I think this is a causality problem, not anything out of malice or bureaucratic foolishness.

Roads connect people. Towns are groups of people. Bigger roads connect larger groups of people. Bigger roads are the reasonable choice to convert to highways. People like/find utility in highways and roads, so they live near them.

It's an unfortunate extension of this logical process that results in 18-wheeler jake brakes thundering to a stop at the one red light in downtown Podunk, Nowhere at 3AM, on their way between Megatropolis and Port Industry, which leads to complaining at the town hall that they need "no engine braking" local ordinances and proposals that the 5-lane road speed limit should be reduced from 35 to 25. Nevermind that Podunk was established as a town because it was a convenient distance to stop at in horse-drawn buggies passing through 200 years ago between Megatropolis and Port Industry, and that every business in the town survives only because travelers stop there and inject money into the local economy...

Maybe at some point in the past, the major road should have been diverted around downtown by a half mile. But the local optimum the town currently sits at is far below the peak desirable state not because people love noise and pollution but because it's a straightfoward hill climb to the present state and it's hard to avoid that.
Our district solved that probably entirely by discontinuing bus service for all except special needs students. Kids can walk, or be driven by their parents. The district has partnered with the metro transit to provide dedicated buses on some routes, but only up til 8th grade. After that, you're on your own. Yet our property taxes are just as high as most districts...
Plus a stationary or semi-stationary version only lets them collect data from wherever you place it. Put it in phones and pretty soon you've got whatever sort of data this thing picks up from damn near every room, every street, every trail, every car, every everything anywhere that people exist. Data to train your machine learning algos, for free. God knows what else—data to map every square centimeter of every environment in the modern world, for all we know.

Their priorities are spying-first, typically, so this is unsurprising.
I'm a brit and I suppose I'd describe myself as a remainer. That is itself a label which I don't like, but let it ride.

So an example message I'd be OK with is if bojo (boris johnson) had said that the uk gives 160 million (or 199 million[0]) a week to the EU, instead of his claim that it was £350 million a week (which deliberately and dishonestly ignored the rebate), I'd be OK with that.

I fear that tribalism is a disease that's damaging both the UK and the US at the moment; make your point with facts as far as possible.

You're mixing fiscal/government conservative with social conservative. Most conservatives are both socially and economically conservative so in most places the right-libertarian is relatively small and doesn't hold much power.
Slightly off topic: Where can one find these minimalist cartoons/sketches of people for websites? Ideally free, but those options appear super cartoonish and limited.
I don't fully agree with the comment you're replying to in that Manufacturing Consent has nothing to do with those movements.

However, I completely disagree with your statements that:

>The mechanism is exactly the same.

>People don’t just wake up and change their minds. These opinions are filtered down to them.

People do in fact change their minds, for various reasons. These mechanisms are not the same because of power. Large institutions in the media that have lots of reach and authority act as gatekeepers to what is or isn't discussed. This idea that movements are propelled from sympathizers who are popular or have authority just misses how movements form and grow to begin with.

Yes they start out small, but they aren't cleared by the media or any figure before they grow. Movements grow with pressure through direct action to a point where the media cannot ignore it anymore. It is a challenge for every movement that exists.
"If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh. Otherwise, they will kill you." Not sure who this is attributed to but I remember it not infrequently.
Journalists without a long history of connections and experience, typically facilitated by the name/history of the "paper" they're working for, don't get to dig their heels in because they would lose access. Access is paramount, as is on record/off record confidentiality, and they are dependent on it, else they be blacklisted by their subjects of interest. All interviews and information sharing is voluntary, they can't force someone to answer a question, and they can't force someone to be interviewed, and they definitely can't force someone to tell the truth.

It is not their fault that they parrot whatever talking points politicians and their staff members. It's only on those rare occasions where sources are cultivated through long periods of time and building trust through publishing meticulously what information has been shared with them via interviews and documents, most of them being talking points of course, that they can get to the meat of the subjects. Lifting the veil of the real news stories requires years and years of trudging through just simply formatting interview transcripts into something readable and of interest.

I don't blame them one bit. It's a tough job and you're at the mercy of everyone you attempt to gather information from. It doesn't help that you're viewed as de-facto suspicious due to journalistic freedoms.
I'm a millenial living in a city, and none of these companies play any sort of role in my lifestyle. I don't get food delivered, the only Ubers I take are to the airport, which are around the same price as hailing a cab, just more convenient, and I don't think I've ever gotten kickbacks from an app for doing just about anything. If anything I used to get more food delivered before doordash, grubhub, and the rest came around, as my experiences with them were vastly inferior to restaurants with dedicated delivery people, and the business practices of delivery services are shady as hell.

Maybe I live in a bubble, but it seems like outside of shared office space, we won't lose anything substantive.

I think both GP and GGP are somewhat loaded questions. The first is a hypothetical question that, while possibly genuine, can have a scaremongering side-effect. The second (perhaps unnecessarily) takes this as flamebait and extrapolates that cold calculation can lead to seemingly rational decisions such as mass interment based on the perpetual foreigner status of East Asians.

I have not studied rationalism or humanism at all and don't have much opinion on anti-discrimination or anti-anti-discrimination. The issue that sometimes boils over on mostly homogeneous countries like China is that people conflate many different things together. A distinction needs to be made, rather than blurred, on ethnic background, nationality, current government, their culture, or something else. (This is an assumption.)

Say what you will about 'The Chinese,' but please make it clear who and what you are talking about. A communist party member is very different from a middle class worker who holds a Chinese passport, or someone who has resided outside of China for decades. or a second generation immigrant with a Chinese-sounding last name. The above people probably have very different views on ethnocentrism or loyalty to 'the motherland' and should never be lumped together by proxy and acted on with uniform policy. This isn't racism because there are many other things at play, and discriminatory outcomes might defined by consequence. But such levels of ambiguous smearing can cause the same kind of prejudice from applying abstract, ill-placed fears more broadly than deserved.

>The more pressing question: Can we actually still do such projects in western democracies?

I sure hope not. Two sentences by the author dismissing environmental concerns isn't sufficient.

They also list Boston as an example, but Boston's land creation projects ran over cost back in the 1800's, which most people seem to think is only a modern day issue for some reason. The Back Bay was filled-in because the city had already created an environmental disaster out of it. A dam was built which caused the bay to stagnate, and fill with sewage. Maybe a judge should've ordered an environmental impact study be done before the dam was built, which would've caught this. https://historyofmassachusetts.org/how-boston-lost-its-hills...

You don't need to create land in order to have a functioning public transit system, which would address several of the problems the author brings up, without introducing a plethora of new issues.

I used to have 3 remote dev jobs at once. It was exhausting but doable; my problem before was that no company was utilizing me at more than 30% of what I could sustain and I was upset I was wasting my time. So I had one web dev, one Java and one Deep Learning gig in parallel. The only issue was with conflicting times of meetings. I didn't tell either company I was working for another but had a prior agreement that they wouldn't mind if I did unrelated work elsewhere as well if it didn't affect deliveries for them. I used the extra money I got to pay off my Top 10 MS in ML and MBA.
> Wait. "Second-order" propaganda? What's "second order" about it? This is directly how these machines work. The only remotely novel thing about Project Veritas is that it has absolutely no news credibility at all, whereas CNN, Fox and RT can and do occasionally support real journalism as well.

I used "second-order propaganda" as a catch-all term for propagandists that say "Everything you know is wrong, [exposing some cases of propaganda, can be real], see, these are propaganda and manipulations! But don't worry, just listen to my propaganda." I don't imply that there is anything new here.

Until such time as deep fakes can be done perfectly in real time, a certification of video being taken close to the time of an event is still a very good indicator, and pubic blockchains are one of the best ways to do this.

Wow. Did not realize Python took over recently.
Another way to think about it, is practicing at the edge of your skill / knowledge. If you can already do x, then you are at a good position to learn to do x + i (where i is an incremental improvement over x), by practicing x + i until you can do x + i. Rinse, repeat.
That may or may not have consequences for them but almost always will hurt the employee's career.
We need to change the narrative around substances, their use and abuse.

Addiction is not a personal failure but a coping mechanism in the face of trauma and failed social contracts.

Drug enforcement is a tool of selective oppression and unchecked profit for many actors, from enforcement agencies to incarceration. Prisoners are extremely expensive in tax money, and are treated inhumanely + used for forced labor. We as society seem to be happy to pay very high cost, including in money, to treat people horribly.

Prohibition is the main reason for substance prices to be high enough to support a powerful structure of organized crime which permeates and corrupts our society.

Money continues to be the major force behind policy changes in the US and until we make corruption illegal (lobbying and campaign finance are out of control), our politicians and laws will serve corruption.

That's what regression does! And maybe they should've used regression, indeed. Instead, this looks more like an "improper linear model" http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.188.... -- something we see less and less of now that regression models are at our fingertips.
Yeah... really. As a user, I (and >99% of others) just don't care about the distribution channel. The stores work. I've never been hit by a security issue. Choice is plentiful. Prices are ok.

They say that, but the if the reports of state-sponsored cyber attacks on the US or US companies over the past 10+ years is any indication, the "war" that's mentioned in the "acts of war" statement isn't tanks rolling through Beijing, Tehran, or Moscow.

If a cyber attack leads to war, it seems to lead to cyber war like this article. Not physical war.
Yes, but that's what I'm talking about. It's crazy that the developers never made some effort to preserve the source materials and get them to the porters. Even a very minimal effort would have surely yielded some large results relative to the effort expended. At the very least, you'd think they'd want to protect their company name by not having it attached to garbage ports.

A lot of those design materials were indeed saved, btw. This book and its sequel collect a lot of them:

I wonder how this will impact fingerprinting of users from a privacy and security perspective. It would be useful as a means of identity verification based off of physical properties of the user beyond just their fingerprint or iris. Yet it would also be a massive privacy concern, particularly since it advertises 360° sensing.

But it is actually an ideology... It's the same as why people don't care about climate change or other far removed things from everyday life.

For the normal, everyday non-tech user, they see that all their friends use these apps and nothing has ever happened to them. The FBI didn't come knocking, they weren't fired from their jobs or anything like that.

From their point of view, why should they care about repositories, digital signatures etc., when they just want to use Instagram, Snapchat, Whatsapp and so on for some after-work (or during-work) fun / brain-swithoff. They just post some silly pictures or watch some Youtuber videos.

All these concerns about privacy just don't reach the everyday reality and real-life concerns of people and is in effect an ideological thing, similar to rejecting proprietary software on the desktop due to moral and political beliefs.

> They have to face the consequences, that's how it works

The consequences (app creators changing their practices and policies) will be spread over everyone, not on individual users. As long as their friends and society keeps using it, most people will as well. If it slowly dies out, people will use whatever is new. Most people are not that much attached to using these apps, just use them out of boredom or to interact with others. They'd easily move on if that's how things evolve.

Conservatives are the Big Brother. They like to watch over you and control you. They are not "liberals". Liberals are the opposite of conservatives. Liberals are happy to give you permission to enjoy your life.

Think about the semantics of the word 'conservative". It means keep things the same they are, conserve the status quo. Now who would support such a viewpoint? Of course those who benefit from inequality, who are on the sunny side of it.

Back in '96 or '97 i found a pager dropped on the ground (they were pretty expensive back then), it was at night so i took it and called the lost and found number on the back. I was on the phone for about an hour and finally got to someone who gave me an address to mail it back to. I was in college and literally eating ramen noodles, i told them i was not getting a box and paying to mail it back. The person on the phone was rude and agreed to send a prepaid box to mail it back in.

That was over an hour of my life wasted and the company didn't seem to be grateful, hopefully the owner was...I will return things if found, just a bit more jaded about it.

You're basically criticising leftists for pointing out how power structures in the world are abused and phrasing it as somehow being maternal and therefor... questionable?

Or is your problem only with the causal chain? Which leftist cause that condemns an abuse of power has incorrectly assumed a causal link?

I would say the biggest issue that has stuck against Trump is by a wide margin the alleged Russian collusion, but are you trying to say that people - nevermind leftists - _shouldn't_ be collectively upset about children being separated from their parents and kept in cages?
That's correct. adb doesn't give you root privileges. For example, you cannot install system apps with adb unless you have a rooted device already.

You certainly have access to a lot of things with adb, but it can hardly be considered root on non-rooted devices.
Who said psychological harm doesn't exist? It just isn't a form of violence, that's all.

It is important not to conflate the two concepts, because violence is widely criminalized and psychological harm is highly subjective. The immediate implication of bundling these completely disparate concepts is that somebody will have to arbitrate which verbal expressions constitute violent crime. This is not conjecture, activist groups have already regulated speech in several countries on the premise that words are violence.
This is a beautiful piece of tech for any ad company looking to collect reaction information to ads (like google):

* It works at low power. Turning on the front camera and processing the visual data generated needs large amounts of power.

* It can't be blocked as easily as a front facing camera.

* People are less aware that they are being surveilled, which makes them less motivated to block it.

* Yes, it's not capturing any facial expressions, but the information generated probably still gives valuable cues to advertisers.

Also, get ready for unskippable ads pausing when you aren't looking into the direction of the smartphone.
