> The third way (trade brings democracy) has been disproven over the last decades.

This is often claimed, but I fail to see the disproof. The standard of living in China has improved considerably as a result of trade. That new prosperity means that now more people can afford to support journalists, lawyers and activists working to expose and curtail abuses of power.

This is not limited to underground organizations or something; the Center for Legal Assistance to Pollution Victims is run by the China University of Political Science and Law in Beijing, probably funded by government grants. http://www.clapv.org/about/index.asp

It's also not limited to action in China; as Chinese companies get involved in large-scale construction abroad, so do Chinese NGOs who have experience mediating between those companies and the people negatively affected by them. https://pandapawdragonclaw.blog/2019/10/28/interview-can-chi...

You may think that internet censorship is a sign that things are regressing, but there used to be no internet at all. Nowadays anyone with a grievance can publish an article or a video to raise awareness; by the time the censors notice the outrage, it's already too late for the government to pretend that nothing happened.

30 years ago, the Tiananmen Square protests lasted barely over a month before they were crushed by the military; the protests in Hong Kong have been going on for half a year and the military hasn't been involved so far.

China hasn't turned into a democracy overnight, but neither did South Korea or Taiwan. So far, the trend seems to be positive.
Well, checking my resolver statistics from a random day, it clocked about 8000 queries. Discounting some for mail, it leaves 7+k from my own browsing.

That would estimate your friend's public resolver at serving about 20 users, though I guess could be anywhere between 1 and 300.

Dostoevsky is not difficult to read. If you like depressive psychological drama, it is quite enjoyable. Homer difficulty depends heavily on translation. It can be stiff and boring or basically just fun (but again, you gotta like the relationships non-actiony aspect of it).

Yeah, Ulysses is definitely hard to read.

I’m curious what sort of due diligence these companies must do to authenticate you as a person prior to satisfying an information retrieval request. Given that the exchange is entirely digital, it seems plausible that there are bad actors who would pose as someone else to gain access to their personal information. What sort of liability does one of these data controllers bear when they fail to properly authenticate a person prior to handing over all their data? Is it limited to tort liability, in which there needs to be proof that the transgression ultimately led to some particular damage? Given that this data is being traded on the free market, what’s to stop abusive employers, ex-spouses and criminals from exploiting this information?
The usage of Unsafe was never encouraged, it is a problem that Sun never provided a public API with similar features but relying on a private API is what caused the issue of breaking changes in the future, something that every Java developer was well aware that could happen.

Yes, I agree that the problem was that Sun didn't provide a public API for it, at the same time developers breaking the contract (instead of pushing for it to be moved to a `java.` namespace) shouldn't be excused and embraced, it causes bigger issues to the overall design of the platform when then you have to be maintaining an API for the sake of usage, the same cruft that Win32 suffers for its whole existence, and which made developing on Win32 a pain in the ass for a lot of people, for the sake of not breaking some twisted way that a major application used it.
The good news is that now there's a simple solution: if this happens in the future, you book a $200 Uber helicopter, $100-200 room at the airport, then another helicopter back in the morning, and you save ~$700. Easy! :D
This dichotomy seems almost insurmountable today.

1) Mathematics majors should be taught how to prove.
2) Engineering/Applied Math majors should be taught to use.

Fortunately or unfortunately they take the same classes. Personally, I think the obvious solution would have been to just take whichever classes you want to and to get "a degree" once you fill some sort of criterion. But the CAs and actuarial scientists, uhm basically everyone, don't want that human resources headache to actually read through someone's CV patiently and ask a few patient questions.
$45k is nice, but for a manager doing a job so hard that this article says they can "manage anything", it seems like they're woefully underpaid. With their skills, they should be able to command a lot more pay somewhere else.

If all of this is true, I'd expect to see more WH managers move to higher paying jobs and WH have a harder time finding qualified managers, meaning they'd be forced to pay more.

Apparently the article claims they could get $117k, which is a lot different. Even with some hefty exaggeration, that would mean they are indeed woefully underpaid.

There are unofficial projects that combine the drivers from IoT with the "full" ARM32 version of Win10. I tried it and it did boot, but on a pi 3B it was too slow to be usable. I'd want at least a pi 4B 2GB before trying again...
Will these systems be prone to false data?

I.e. if an organization fighting for free speech would create software generating false personas who create false messages, and other events, would they know any better?

For example, it wouldn't be too hard to generate hundreds if not thousands of fake Facebook, Instragram, Airbnb, Coinbase, Uber, Gmail, Amazon, etc. accounts doing "stupid things". Like ordering stuff and canecelling orders right away. Like generating fake emails en masse with "trigger words" in millions a day. Like creating fake posts on Facebook warning of fake incidents like "15% of Uber drivers have serious mental issues".

The whole thing could be scripted and run on bots worldwide in millions. After some time, serious chunk of internet traffic would be fake. How would these companies know any better?

I've been using ROS for some 8+ years now, for university projects, competitions like RoboCup@Home and for work on robots operating in the wild, on water, land and among people in malls etc.

I've seen many RoboCup teams convert from their custom stuff to ROS because it allows to profit for so much other great work.
In my own team, we replaced most custom stuff implemented in the early days of ROS and with ROS with the now de-facto standard ROS stuff for the same task so we can focus more on the stuff that made us win the competition this year :-)
Lem made quite a good prediction about ebook readers:

"The books were crystals with recorded contents. They can be read the aid of an opton, which was similar to a book but had only one page between the covers. At a touch, successive pages of the text appeared on it."

In old Polish sci-fi I really appreciated the sociological aspect of some of the books, especially these written by Janusz Zajdel (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janusz_Zajdel). Unfortunately it seems none of his work was translated to English.

In Zajdel's Limes Inferior we have a society divided into classes. The monetary system was divided into points (green, red and yellow) and being in the lowest class you would only earn green points that should cover necessities. For premium items you would need red or yellow points. There is of course a black market exchanges etc. Another interesting concept from this book were 'keys' - every one had their own andb they were used as an id and a wallet for the points (I think they would perform similar functions to mobile phones of today).
I don’t see how this can be anything but a good thing. If you are certain that there is discrimination against women in physics, then this is a great opportunity to convince the world of it.

I never understood the attitude of “trust us, it exists, but no one is allowed to question it”. I think Feynman said something like “I’d rather have questions I can’t answer than answers I can’t question”.

It is, but if you define the Apple TV app as a sink that aggregates all content available on your platform, then it makes sense that it is different on each one. Since the way the app works is that it bounces you to the source.

To me there is the device, the app and the streaming service. The Channels is just a feature of the app. I agree that the naming is not ideal, but that is on par for course with Apple nowadays.

As someone with ADD (essentially ADHD with only the "attention deficit" bit, no hyperactivity) I recognise the feeling. I'm lucky to be in a position where I can work 4 days a week, but I'd still barely have energy left for fun activities.

I've now been on methylphenidate (also known as ritalin) for about a month and good god that has made a difference for me. When I get home I can get right into hobby projects or chores instead of just deflating on the couch until bedtime.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, have you tried looking into medication? I know a lot of people are vehemently against medicating ADHD issues, I was pretty much one of them. The thing is you can totally try it out and if it doesn't work for you or has side-effects you'd rather not deal with you can stop easily enough.

I've heard plenty of ritalin horror stories, but a lot of those start making sense once you read the list of side effects. You need to be somewhat lucky to not be too affected by them. If you are there's other medication that can be tried.

I guess my point in a nutshell is don't suffer if you don't have to. I've spent 25 years suffering with my inability to choose what to focus on, and a simple pill has let me trade that for cold hands and a restless leg. I'd take that deal any day. Speak to your GP and ask what your options are. Worst case you're no worse off than you are now.

It's not a particularly attractive subject of study (to my personal interests), but publishing controversial ideas is precisely the task of scientific journals. Then, rebuttals of these ideas can be published, and the readers can form an opinion in the face of evidence.
Yes, this is exactly why I believe that strong regulation is necessary, with regards to what people selling the "medicine" are allowed to say.

Your Steve Jobs example highlights that the problem wouldn't be fixed by removing alternative medicine. People can always claim that perfectly ordinary objects have alternative medicine properties.

I believe if there was a well-regulated alternative medicine industry where people would trust practicioners like they do today, but where those practicioners were prohibited from saying they could cure cancer etc, we would end up in a much better situation.
>It's a recurring theme, not just in governmental propaganda, but also in daily conversations, that "the West" would talk about fairness and justice then commit blatant discrimination and double standards.

Inefficient spending by democratically-elected bodies is still better than inefficient spending by corporations. Do you really want to live in a society that only receives public works when a corporation decides it's good for business?

There's this fantasy that corporations are somehow much more efficient than government, and I haven't found that to be the case. The major difference is that corporate spending isn't transparent to the public, so it's subject to decreased criticism.

> San francisco spent 2 bill on a bus station alone.

I assume you're referring to Salesforces Transit Center[1]. "Bus station" is a misleading way to describe it. It's huge (~235,000 sqft), includes a large public park, and will connect to high-speed rail.

There are public benefits to having a large transit station with green space in a central urban location.

> You can't "get rid" of capitalism without involving some sort of central planning.

Of course you can. We even had a practical example in Syrian Kurdistan for several years in a row. Unfortunately, Rojava was destroyed by the Turkish invasion… It looks like the only thing you can't really do without some kind one central planning is war. Which would explain why every anarchist attempt have been crushed so far.

> when capitalism had reached its highest stage of development, and then the "transition" into socialism would be relatively natural and painless.

Natural (and according to Marx, it wasn't “relatively natural” but more like the obvious course of history) but in no way painless. Revolution and temporary dictatorship was part of Marx vision all along.

Also their is plenty of non-Marxist socialism, some being older than Marx and some modern.

That may be an irrational choice, but humans do put all their eggs in one basket all the time! And BTW, this popular saying isn't that insightful: if you cannot afford to lose a single egg, you better put them in a single basket, because the probability of one basket failing is lower than multiple baskets ;).
I wish people would stop saying online that SSRIs are a scam. My life was saved by Lexapro, an SSRI. I have taken it for almost 8 years now and the difference within 2 weeks of starting treatment was night and day. Literally stopped years of anxiety and depression that made life unbearable and turned them into a manageable condition. I tried many other “cures” - diet, exercise, mindfulness, therapy, and on and on - and nothing helped like Lexapro did.

The Centaur is described as "a memory buffer chip designed by IBM for their POWER scale-up microprocessors" while VIA owned Centaur's website seems to have gone from "tune in for a massive unveiling later this year" a few years ago to what looks like a promotional leaflet for student and internship programs.

Waffle House managers, in my experience, are heavily sourced internally. (Or at least used to be)

This ensures you have a pipeline of new managers when someone moves on, as well as benefiting from far more experience than hiring externally.

Furthermore, while there may be higher paying jobs in a nearby city, there certainly aren't in the same area.

There are Waffle Houses at the intersection of two state highways. Which is to say, places where they're the only business there.
The problem isn't taxes. No amount of money given to the government is going to help with the housing crisis unless new homes are built and unless density is encouraged.

You don't need money for that. Rather, you may even get more bang for your buck since higher density should be more efficient.
