I agree 100% this is about CYA and not a true interest in preventing bad things. However it is a bad thing in itself, in addition to profanity they police illicit sex contact such as normal underage high school sex, attempts, or discussion. What a nightmare to have that sort of thing be monitored by some private quasi-police security agency (even worse a private company masquerading as a police agency that doesn't have to follow the bill of rights).

I want to throw out though that every fascist and totalitarian movement in the 20th century also had nothing but the best of intentions and was guided by truly moral people who genuinely had the best interests of the people in mind. So saying someone is a good person with well-intentions doesn't mean nothing, it's actually a huge red flag.

It's clear most people have no idea how government debt works. Everyone thinks it's like a household, that the government spends it's revenue and borrows money from someone else.

Imagine you are the JohnDoe family. You are able to issue JohnDoe bucks. You spend the JohnDoe bucks first and then later ask for some of them back (as taxes). The difference between what you spend and what you get back is called the JohnDoe deficit. And the aggregate of the deficit is the JohnDoe "debt".

On the other side of the transaction, those that provide services to the JohnDoe family now have JohnDoe bucks and because they didn't have to give all of them back to the JohnDoe family they keep some in bank accounts.

Another way to say this, the US debt can also be called "US people's savings".

JohnDoe also issues bonds with a percent return. Some of the people with these JohnDoe bucks might buy the bonds to get the return.

The question is, is the JohnDoe family ever in danger of not paying those bonds back? The clear answer is no, they can always pay back any debt as long as it's denominated in JohnDoe bucks.

Wouldn't you like to be the JohnDoe family?

“I’d like to branch out more and try learning something new. (I’ll explicitly acknowledge that my freedom to do so is a form of privilege.)”

Why must you explicitly acknowledge that? Religion is usually a private matter which people largely keep to themselves.

It’s astounding how widespread this one has become, that a person can’t feel comfortable saying “I’d like to try new things” without having to decorate it with a statement of religious commitment.

> Of course we don't want social media enabling that.

Eliding that it not only "enables" it in a binary way, but also "enables" it in a that creates exponential reach and growth of the market. This explosive mechanic is one of the things implies by the phrase, "tech boom." Your response reduces social media's role to a one-sentence hand-wave.

> The solution isn't to take down the posts, but to alert law enforcement.

Is your point that you can't do the latter if you do the former? Because that's not the case in any way.

> These governments should be urged to find and arrest the people who are doing this, otherwise it won't stop even if blocked.

You're _technically_ right in the very narrow sense that there will likely still be some kind of market for chattel slavery even without Instagram. But again you are minimizing Instagram's (I'm using Instagram as a stand-in for all the companies involved) role and responsibilities in this situation for some reason.

When we talk about these companies we use phrasing like, "huge tech platforms," "tech giants," etc. To my mind you are defending these "tech behemoths" from the very idea of public accountability.

The response to the question you raise of government & law enforcement enforcing the law is so obvious it barely merits response, but: yes, obviously the government should govern and law enforcement should enforce the law. Bringing it up at all seems to me like another deflection away from "Instagram"'s responsibilities in governance on & public accountability for their platforms.
Got it thanks for the response :). I have a secret dream of having a large family as well, so was just curious how you made it all work.

Not a good example, Weimar republic debt wasn't caused by a bubble, it was caused by the punishing burden placed on it by the Allies.
Lots of comments saying "the absolute numbers don't matter". Which is pretty much true, but the debt to GDP ratio is currently ~105%. The last time it was that high was WWII.

The scary thing about that is we are in a booming expansion. Next time we hit a recession or some other even mild shock to the system debt-to-GDP will skyrocket even further.

Related, remember when the Republicans cared about the debt[1]?

MEERKAD is the Google Spreadsheet community of designers who are looking for remote ok job positions.

The difference between this list and those that you could see earlier is that vacancies are collected not only from job boards websites but also from companies' websites, Twitter, Facebook, and HackerNews. More quality positions - quickly good people find the job of their dreams.

The table is editable so it's a community. People care about the quality of information, share feedback and post new remote job positions by themselves from all over the world.

I reject the idea that ownership of one of the most popular websites in the world is comparable in power to the threat of force that underpins the legal authority of the most powerful military in the world.

Gnu Smalltalk isn't used often (as far as I'm aware). If you use something more common like Pharo or Squeak, the base image includes things like the IDE, window environment, etc. and accounts for the 50MB size.

Edit

I should mention that shipping smalltalk applications generally means shipping the entire image. While there is work to make distributing just the code easier (EG. iceberg mentioned in the article) I don't believe this is yet a common practice. Even in that scenario however, you'll need an image to run that code and it will still be 50+MB.

My high school gave all students Gaggle email addresses 10-15 years ago. The account was used as part of an assignment in a computer class to send some emails, though I think the teachers expected you to continue using the account for personal things. I don't recall being told the account was being watched by anyone. Makes me glad I never used it for anything beyond the assignment.

Incidentally, over the past few years I've been doing an audit of my password manager and couldn't log into the Gaggle account any longer, so I suppose the addresses are deleted after a few years. Hopefully that's current policy as well as I think most people would agree that what you write as a teenager may not reflect well on you later.

So I kind of agree with you very deeply and kind of don’t.

I do think we need to figure out a “closed system”. Meaning having a throwaway economy isn’t sustainable with a finite earth. Further, it doesn’t seem right to expect every person to have the wits to figure that out, agree with it, and how to properly execute a sustainable life. Ant colonies are clearly not ran by that model. But I also see the resources of space being quite impressive and offering pretty big growth opportunities through just being huge and containing other places for us to setup and live. Though the resources there are definitely prohibitively sparse so they still should be used wisely.

Edit-I also can’t help but wonder where we would be if money value was clearly tied to energy. Oil effectively adds wealth to the economy by literally fueling it. Basing a currency on gold, for instance, sets the pace of monetary growth at the rate of gold extraction. I think oil is similarly pressing upon USD.
Only on paper in a utopia. That does not work on a landmass with 327 million people that are trying to engage in commerce, build homes and maintain infrastructure in their communities. You need some managing body to orchestrate the funding, management and execution of a civilization whether its a handful of families or a nation covering half a continent. Having no government for those is a logistical impossibility.

Better to say "the best corruption is no corruption". That is at least marginally less refutable.
(not personally religious, or really for surveillance in schools, would probably teach my children to build their skills circumventing it to be honest)

But surely that's a strawman. No one thinks religion would stop all evil or all people, but there certainly seems to be some kind of psychological effect from being brought up in such a framework, which can be observed, for instance, in latent guilt and residual fear of hell and judgement that happens when people leave certain christian sects for instance, which is totally absent and baffling to those not from such a cultural background.

I think its eminently feasible that SOME people are being 'held in line' through explicit or implicit fear of rules/authority/sanctity/hell/punishment/purity/etc provided by religious and social structures.
I was just reading a news article that claimed ACA premiums are down like 4%. Then again, now that I have an employer-provided plan (since about 5 months ago) (that appears to be worse than the ACA option) it's going up noticeably for 2020.

The smallest reform to the healthcare system that I think would be substantially beneficial, is just to let ACA plans compete for employed people on an equal basis. It's unreasonable that once you have a job then you have to pay way more for a marketplace plan. I'm nowhere near my deductible for the forseeable future, but certain office visits doubled in price just because I have a job with a temp agency that provides shitty insurance that effectively disqualifies me for an ACA plan.

I'm having fun, I don't know why this came up after al these years.
Specifically on devaluing the currency: this doesn't really work like people imagine it would since the US continually turns over its debt by paying older bonds and issuing new ones. If it started to look like the US was devaluing its currency we'd quickly find ourselves unable to issue new bonds, and it basically turns into the mother of all margin calls.

The Koolshare group (whose modified version of Asus Merlin is targeted at folks in China) have stopped development for the RT-AC68U, and IIRC this was before they started working on integrating Wireguard into their builds.

It looks like Asuswrt-Merlin uses different kernel version for different routers (probably because the use the kernel from Asus' own open source releases). I'm pretty sure the kernel for the AC68U is too old to support Wireguard.

The DEA Scheduling system is not fact-based and needs to be completely redone. In fact, the categorizations are provably false e.g. PCP is schedule II, Cocaine is schedule III, Xanax is Schedule IV etc, while Marijuana and Psilocybin (mushrooms) are Schedule I.

Yes that's right, according to the federal government, marijuana and mushrooms are more harmful, more addictive, and have less medical use than PCP, Cocaine, or Xanax.
We should judge governments at least a little bit the way we judge people. If people have debt, why do they have it? Are they even trying to pay it off? Are they counting on dying before somebody tries to collect, leaving it to your kids to deal with?

Assuming it's just port blocking, and you're not behind a proxy or DPI, just run a shadowsocks server listening on 80 or 443.

There are good, free clients for Windows, Android and Mac. The client for Android hat will handle both connecting to the shadowsocks server and establishing a local SOCKS proxy, and redirecting regular network requests over that proxy. I'm not sure if the clients for other platforms do that, or if they only work with apps that can use a SOCKS proxy.

If you look at the actual timeline between 1919 and 1933. The hyperinflation occurred 1921 and 1923. Not surprising since that is in the immediate aftermath of WWI. The actual rise to power of those guys in spiffy uniforms was 1929-1933 and was due to austerity in the face of deflation and banking collapse. Same thing happened in the US under Mellon. Only difference is the Germans picked the guy with the Charlie Chaplin Stash and the US picked a kindly man in a wheelchair.
