Indeed. My perception is that well-off Americans have ridiculously excessive unsustainable lifestyles, with superfluously large cars, houses, whatever. And at the same time your poor have much less than those bare minimums that you mention.
Or maybe people will move to states that aren't so badly managed that critical infrastructure is unavailable as a matter of course.
if i recall right you shouldn't access clearnet sites from tor if you want privacy. Might be wrong - last time i used tor was ages ago.

He brought deregulation and busted some unions. He didn’t sell off the workforce wholesale to ship the jobs overseas and tell them to be happy because they’ll get cheap disposable stuff we can fill landfills with instead.

Busting unions looks bad. Shipping jobs overseas is magnitudes worse but it’s indirect and underhanded so you don’t get the blame. Actually, even better, you get to blame people for not “skilling up”!
Straight away in the article they spell it out and make the link between Tor and the dark web:

> The Tor browser is privacy-focused software used to access the dark web

Yes it is. But that's the worst thing it's used for.

It's like saying 12-gauge shotguns are used for bank robberies...

Ok, I'm stretching the point but it's needlessly putting the association of privacy focused browsing using Tor with the nasty shit that some people do with it.

Edit: I realise my understanding of The Dark Web was incorrect so this argument is invalidated now but I'll leave it up.
So I guess you should also yell at any other people renting public spaces which the town didn't vote for.

I don't know where you live. But I can guarantee you that businesses pay for the use of public lands herearound.

No matter if a restaurant puts tables on a sidewalk or a company hangs a up a sign that hangs into the air above public lands.

They pay for the privilege.

So you already moved the goal posts by quietly removing Bernie Sanders from your list of people who supposedly aren't talking about these things.

I don't know if she says "rural whites" verbatim, but Warren talks about rural issues all the time. It's one of the central tenets of her campaign -- that previous Democratic candidates (other than Sanders) ignored rural America, and she isn't. She campaigns in small rural towns that few other candidates will campaign in.

What universe is this from? Immediately after his election there was a huge surge of articles centering around “wtf just happened, why did people vote for him.” Going into 2020, appealing to those voters is going to be a huge priority for both parties, and democratic candidates are already talking about how to get back Obama-Trump voters... the whole country is acutely, painfully aware of the despair of the Real Americans and their struggles.
I'm not interested in comparing Bernie's policies vs. Yang's. I highlighted Yang's tweet specifically because it singles out the suffering of rural whites by name.

In a U.S. presidential election, I think perception is at least as important as policy. Most Americans aren't policy wonks, and they don't scrutinize all aspect of a candidate's platform. They simply choose the candidate who they feel will best represent their interests. When one candidate addresses them and their suffering by name but the other one doesn't (or even minimizes it, a la Bernie 2016), that second candidate's a tougher sell.
Ah, I see. Apparently, more of a general contrast / density / grey level issue. Also, probably some issues with bleed and character separation, but this may be also due to the photographic exposure. Thanks for linking the image!

It means that they are fine with these issues and don't need to have them fixed.
First, as in the US, there are large regional differences. Both between countries and inside of countries (eg Italy, UK).

But what do you mean with smaller?

Cars are much smaller, both because the infrastructure is not built for large ones and the huge US models are kind of pointless.

There are few large stores and many smaller stores instead.
There are not many skyscrapers, in part due to relatively strict building regulations in the big cities.

There are only two really big metropolitan areas: London and Paris.

Also, there might be less of an interest in ostentatiousness. Bigger isn't always better.

That said, the US has a GDP per capita that's almost twice as high as the EU average. And even the most well-off countries, which had almost reached parity, have fallen behind very considerably since the 2008 financial crisis. The US economy has grown a lot since then, while the EU mostly remained stagnant.

(note that GDP/capita is a pretty bad measure, but it gives some idea)
> Yes it is. But that's the worst thing it's used for.

The "dark" in dark web doesn't mean "bad", it's darkness to prying eyes. If you buy drugs on the dark web, it's the dark web. If you read literature on the dark web that your government doesn't want you to read, it's the dark web as well. The negative connotations you're associating with it are what this step by the BBC will help reduce: pointing out that the criminal use isn't the primary use of the dark web. Privacy is.
There was also LINES=43 for EGA (640×350, rather than VGA's 640×480).

I always though that "dark web" is not about the kind of things you can find there, but the fact that is not "in the open internet".
Wikipedia seems to think the same way [1]:

"The dark web is the World Wide Web content that exists on darknets, overlay networks that use the Internet but require specific software, configurations, or authorization to access."

Not an expert on this by any means, but you know those color blindness tests where there’s a bunch of red and green dots, the red dots form a number, and you can only see the red number if you aren’t (that kind of) colorblind? It seems to be like that.

From an article [1] summarizing work that claimed to identify one such woman:

> Proving that these people actually see the world differently has involved a two-decade journey, however. Although the relevant combination of genes does not seem to be especially rare – perhaps 12% of women might have four distinct cones – many of the people that Jordan tested just didn’t seem to show any differences in their perception. But by 2010, she had found a subject who perfectly acted the part of a tetrachromat. Jordan’s “acid test” involved coloured discs showing different mixtures of pigment, such as a green made of yellow and blue. The mixtures were too subtle for most people to notice: almost all people would see the same shade of olive green, but each combination should give out a subtly different spectrum of light that would be perceptible to someone with a fourth cone. Sure enough, Jordan’s subject was able to differentiate between the different mixtures each time. “When you ask them to discriminate between the two mixtures, a tetrachromat can do it very quickly. They don’t hesitate,” says Jordan.

I built a forum from scratch starting in 2006. Spent most of that year sockpuppeting it to fake activity, slowly growing users, guerilla-shilling on other forums, etc. Took about two years total for it to really hit its stride with the critical mass necessary to be a bustling forum without my intervention.

Thankfully I was about 17 years old thus had the time and energy to do it.

There is some research nowadays showing that different diets work differently well for different people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z03xkwFbw4

Most of our current long-term (>1 year long) studies about diets deal with the problem of "subjects not sticking to the diet" by just saying that X% of participants stopped the diet and then proceeding to analyze the health benefits for the Y% that stuck to it.

That's a fair thing to do, but what's not supported from those results is the conclusion that such a diet would have worked very well for the X% had they stuck to it.

Except the whole thing about increasing rural white poverty is largely a myth caused by failure to properly analyze the data. Adjusted for cost of living, rural areas have lower poverty rates: https://www.ers.usda.gov/amber-waves/2006/november/adjusting.... Employment suffered less during the Great Recession in rural areas than in urban areas. Many of the places tagged with the travails of white rural people, in the Midwest, have some of the highest incomes for rural people relative to urban people in the country.

The SBM folks are actually pretty good. The person who started SBM also has a podcast (The Skeptics Guide to the Universe) which is also interesting.

The point that they make constantly is that there are too many shysters selling sham treatments, that when studied turn out no better than the placebo baseline.

I do think it's pretty well established at this point that stress causes inflammation [1]. Chronic inflammation looks like it wrecks havoc on the body and can turn up as all sorts of symptoms. Addressing the psychological issues that are causing the stress absolutely should help. Where the skeptics get caught up, and I believe rightly so, is when practitioners start talking about woo or chi.

One of the very few (somewhat) positive traits of having adult ADHD: this particular problem does not exist. If you want to be curious about something — even if it is a slightest spark of interest — it immediately activates to full-blown involvement, sometimes bordering on obsession.

I have spent a year studying quantum mechanics full time on my own, reading textbooks and practicing exercises, because I was mildly curious about quantum physics at some point. Got me fired from my job back then, as it had nothing to do with QM.

I’ll just restate that all of this pointing at Yang’s Twitter account is nonsense.

Why do you think so? Not what the data shows.
Many ethnic groups in middle America are in decline. The narrative of the "angry, disenfranchised, rural white male" being the reason for Trump's popularity has been adopted by the right and discussed at length in the media in relation to the rise in white nationalist interest in Trump's campaign, and the attempts of such groups to reframe the populist zeitgeist of that election cycle around white identity and the preservation of white privilege in the face of shifting culture, politics and demographics.

Most Americans don't view economic and social issues through the lens of race war, however. Certainly, non-white Americans, who have also been affected by globalism, automation, unemployment and the collapse of traditionally stable industries like mining and manufacturing, would not be amenable to viewing themselves as either a symptom of, or merely collateral damage in, the narrative of the decline of white people.
But you're using 'dark web' as if it necessarily implies "the worst thing[s]" and "the nasty shit" on Tor. The term 'dark web' doesn't refer to anything nefarious in itself — it simply means content accessible only via Tor (or some other software or network).

Sure, many so-called Hidden Services offer illegal and immoral content, but the dark web is enormous. There are many more such sites offering ebooks and other (legal) media, anonymous blogging/forums/social media, whistleblowing services, censorship-resilient news platforms (BBC, NYT, The Intercept, ProPublica), cryptocurrency trading, and so on.

Hell, even the CIA has a 'dark web' presence on Tor [1].
