If the UK is limiting a vendor because it believes it to be malign, or more likely to be malign, or more susceptible to being turned malign by its Government, then limiting it to 30% or 3% isn’t going to help much. One fox in the henhouse is enough.

As for being able to mitigate a “man in the vendor”, whether the “man” is acting according to the vendor or whether the vendor themselves have been coercively controlled or infiltrated matters very little. Mobile operators generally don't even run their own networks today, they outsource the management of the critical platforms to the vendors themselves who often finance the deal too.

UK dropped the ball on this, but it dropped it 10-20 years ago, and now this kind of problem is going to keep coming up again and again.

I respectfully disagree. The articles and discussion here specifically talk about the enjoyment of Market street for pedestrians and cyclists.

I am not suggesting to use money allocated for transportation on something else. I’m suggesting the money should have been allocated on something else.

This article[0] claims that $300M is spent annually on the crisis. The $600M would triple that investment.

As gay person living in Warsaw I wouldn't move to South Korea. They have some serious legal problems like very limited or not existing anti-discrimination laws in employment, no right to serve openly in the military etc.
Poland has openly gay politicians, party leaders and mayors - I don't think is true in South Korea. Also look at the comment below regarding Israel also featuring high in the ranking despite having serious problems outside Tel Aviv (a nice city BTW).

Also so called LGBT-free zones are limited to south eastern Poland (ultra-catholic, conservative, something like bible belt in the US) - however stupid they are they are only declarative.

We were proud of it given the circumstances. I'll edit the quote below to make that more clear.

"So, we shipped the product and introduced it at the show as planned. Despite a long list of warts and terrible performance, I thought it turned out well given the schedule and the circumstances. I continued to use it as my primary photo app, even though I’m not a hard-core professional. Others on the team were too bitter, such that they refused to use the final product."

The gist of it is that reducing your time-to-production is one of the best investments you can make. It changes everything about how you build things.
I had Netflix for a brief moment and all their original series felt really dull, I couldn't find one that would hook me for longer than several episodes, I was almost forcing myself to watch them - I much prefer old stuff, maybe not so stunning visually, but with much more substance, that's why I switched to HBO GO.

Temtem, as Told by Steam Reviews
There’s no reason anyone would have believed 10 years ago Tesla will get so big. You have to be already rich to afford to take such risks that will allow you to have one big hit, or have the kind of intimate knowledge of the market to allow consistent winnings to get rich from multiple smaller hits. Which implies it’s likely you could have gotten just as rich in many other ways. Without knowing who’s the Facebook and who’s the MySpace getting rich by investing is not very much unlike getting rich by winning the lottery.

I think most riches come as a combination of hard work/smarts and right place and right time (or luck), in varied proportions.
I’ve found Charles Rosen’s book _Arnold Schoenberg_ to be an excellent introduction to the composer. It’s a short, well-written book. Not so much a biography, as an exploration of the music and the various phases of the Schoenberg’s musical language; from the early tonal works, through free atonality, and finally serialism. And the most valuable part for me was the way in which it contextualized serialism in light of everything that had come before in western music, and some of what was to come after, and the way it presents it as a kind of an inevitability for Schoenberg. It’s not heavy on theory and people with only a cursory knowledge of music could get something out of it.
Sounds entirely reasonable as you put it there. Does seem unlikely a British supplier is going to just magically deliver a 5G product that competes with Intel, Broadcom, Hauwei. All the talk that “this should just be open and free” just aren’t being realistic for the telecom industry.

Wait, you think the Swedish secret service is going to coerce Ericsson into installing backdoors that let them spy in the UK?

I mean, sure, possible, but a bit further fetched than China doing exactly that, no?
In my experience, our Canadian government sells us out to China even more readily than the UK government has; but at least we're not Australia, which is (no joke) basically on the edge of becoming a dependent territory of the PRC. To me, as a dual citizen, it is mystifying that the U.S. is allowing this to happen; if the PRC compromises half of the commonwealth, that seems like a serious threat to the United States, and to human rights as a concept and reality.
Also they prefer to spin the most blatant lies in private. You know things like, "I can tell you Senator, that the NSA strongly believes that third party repair is sponsored by Russian Hackers". And, " Madam Senator,once a single phone is compromised, being as it attached to the entire internet, it will compromise THE ENTIRE INTERNET".
Like signal with more features?
It's not just about privacy and security. It's about not entangling your communications infrastructure with a Chinese company that - like all Chinese companies - is completely beholden to and embedded in the framework of CCP governance.

Regardless of whether using Huawei tech makes you vulnerable to spying or not, it still means you are bound to Huawei products and infrastructure through vendor lock in. Maintenance may involve Huawei technicians, etc.

We should be actively trying to separate from China, and it's unfortunate many seem eager to do the opposite.

Worst in the world? Probably not. But probably very very close. But that's not really relevant.

What's relevant is what China will do to advance its geopolitical and economic interests. And how it uses 5G as an espionage tool to do so. And in my opinion, the US _is_ just as bad as China. I don't trust the US to be any more ethical than China. I completely expect the US to cheat and steal and ruin foreign corporations to advance its own.

I think many nations would be equally as bad if they had the capability of the Americans or Chinese or Russians, too.

How ‘Big Law’ Makes Big Money
"Where you were born"

The cost of living is different everywhere. You could live like a king in a country like Cambodia and be barely middle class in the US.

"How much money your parents make"

This doesn't really have to do much with success. I know plenty of people (myself included) that grew up with barely enough to scrape by and make much more than their parents.

"What college you went to, if applicable"

This helps, of course. Mostly because it is an example of being able to start and finish something that's difficult and stick with it until the end. Someone that can do this will most likely be successful in other areas of life.

You also have companies like Google looking down on anyone that doesn't come from an elite college, which only makes it more difficult for everyone.

"How much your prioritize making money"

This is a big factor, but it is a choice. I have a friend that is college educated and intelligent. Hates the idea of making money and works a minimum wage job at 35 years old. The only reason she isn't living in poverty is because her husband is a manager at a major corporation and makes really good money.

"For everyone else, understand the rules of the game and bend them as much as possibly"

What a terrible outlook on life. The Internet has made it so anyone can start a business with almost no money. Instead of taking advantage of this, too many people waste their days on social media and instead try to lobby the government to give them a pay wage increase.
Stellar (https://www.stellar.org/overview) isn't part of Keybase per se, they've just developed an integration - or better said, a wallet - for that system. To me Stellar's mission doesn't seem too far apart from Keybase's, I can understand why they see value in it for their users.
Though I'm not sure if they are more secure, they also have offices in China.
This requires a supply chain that the US no longer has, AFAIK. I mean, do know of any electronics still made in the USA? Shenzen is the world's 3D printer, and its non-trivial to clone it.

No, you are hitting propaganda points again. It's not US friend,china enemy. It's US has less incentive a demonstrated (evidencial) desire to cause you harm than the CCP.

Ask hong kongers or uyighurs the diffrence between Nazis and the CCP. And show me any othet people that can make the same comparisom for the US right now then show me how the threat the US poses to those people can also apply to the UK. You're literally a few years away from a possible WW3 and you think the nazis and americans are all just as bad and nazis are a bit cheaper so ee should trust them more.

> The Chinese government is bad, yes.

How about you leave it right there and stop? You don't like americans? Well the european ericcsson competes with huawei in this space with european factories!
I moved back to DVD.com, 9.99 for one disc at a time and you can get Blurays (with 7.1 sound, something no one seems to stream) of the stuff Netflix can't stream because it went to Disney+, Hulu, etc. They also still have a reasonably priced 3 disc program if you trend more toward TV binge watching than movies.

Plus add in MakeMKV and Plex and there is a nice little ecosystem. Not as convenient as the golden age of Netflix, but now that everyone wants their own streaming service, I'd rather just cycle through a couple discs a week than do the whole lets get Disney+ for the Mandalorian, okay bingd watched that now lets get Netflix for Witcher, oh now Season 2 of the Mandalorian is out, back to Disney, oh look HBO has a new thing, etc.
> and are now just exploiting the underclass.

The only people exploiting the underclass are politicians that make building housing impossible. This dynamic is only possible through their help. A price is set by what the market - not by landlords.
They already are incompatible. Just in a much more annoying fashion than ever before because the incompatibilities don't show themselves until you actually try it.

Writing Retreats for Free
The truth is that if China wants to hack the UK, it will. It might possibly be easier when 5G is built on Huawei equipment, however, other suppliers will inadvertentlg introduce security weaknesses which can be exploited by China as well.
Efficiency is overrated. It's an acceptable rationale for destruction and exploitation (the process demands it), but that acceptance doesn't make it a good thing overall.

>people found that by showing targeted ads they'd have to show less of them to get the same amount of new customers

I mean, did they really? Where can I read about these successes?
This assumes that Keybase are the attacker
> This doesn't really have to do much with success. I know plenty of people (myself included) that grew up with barely enough to scrape by and make much more than their parents.

A lot of people like yourself, who grow up poor say this. However you're wrong. It's not to say that your success is predetermined entirely by your parents' socioeconomic status, but it's a large (and according to many scholars, the largest) predictor. Also, I have to say the usual disclaimer that correlation is not causation and all that.

In general I'd say hard work is necessary, but not sufficient to succeed.

This would be a fascinating social network to observe. The practical necessity of never offending peers and the decorum of the upper class in general would, when combined with the diversity of views, yield an environment where everything would sound like a very bland non-controversial Ted talk and the only reaction would be 'like' with no comment.

Over time a hive mind would emerge that would be maximally optimistic and humanitarian, devoid of actual content, and in no way representative of any view held by any actual person.

The higher you go in the social hierarchy the less free speech you have. I'd argue that that even applies to people like Trump who style themselves as assholes. If Trump suddenly drops the clown wig and busts out an erudite argument the spell will be broken and he could never put on the clown wig again.
I use Python as my desktop calculator. It has a Decimal module that would have gotten it correct, but that would have been way too much trouble.

Sometimes I wonder why Netflix doesn't produce more content with small creators. What I'm imagining...

1. Produce some fitness content. Yoga, stretching, meditation, calisthenics, etc. I get the impression there are countless talented fitness trainers that would love to produce regular content while being cheap to hire. Look at Peloton, they charge $40/mo to live stream classes after people spend thousands on a bike. I imagine a lot of people would watch live or prerecorded fitness classes on Netflix, become loyal to the trainers and stay subscribed for their content.

2. Hire some YouTubers. I spend more time on YouTube than Netflix. Lots of great comedy, educational, travel, and tech content there. Most of them are also struggling for money and would jump on an exclusive Netflix partnership for a fraction of what Netflix pays for other content.

3. Daily news. Find a few entertaining personalities and journalists that can report on the daily news. Why can't I switch on Netflix today to get the latest on coronavirus?

Lastly... let me search the content. Why can't I just browse comedy movies released in the last few years, or horror movies sorted by release date? I find Netflix such a terrible and frustrating interface and I have to scroll past the same movie or series a dozen times as I go through the content. I've had Netflix for years, and I still feel like I have no idea what is actually on there because it's so annoying to browse. I think I'll likely cancel next year.
I've worked with big pharma databases. Nearly all of them are inappropriate for the techniques used at large internet companies (deep networks trained to predict user behavior to maximize some objective). Pharma is slowly coming to the understanding that they could use their resources to produce high quality datasets that are amenable to machine learning, but it's a slow process and it always has to fight against the status quo.
This reminds me of this video of hundreds of $5,000 Gibson guitars being destroyed. Quite sad to see such wasteful practices.

Okay, here's some feedback -

What I Like - The feature set and the clean look

What I cannot find - A demo on the home page itself. Not be required to click a "live demo" button

What turned me away - The pricing strategy. As a dev, I love the pricing. As a user, I dislike the pricing. Just give me a flat price and call it a day. Especially applicable for small blogs, newbies and people who don't yet have traffic. That breakdown just indicates to me that I will have no idea what my end bill would be like, especially if my blog starts gaining any traction.

That pricing page also probably limits your audience to a small subset. I showed your pricing page to someone non-technical and they pretty much lost any interest.
I'm very far from the finance world so please correct me if I'm saying something stupid.

But how does eg an algorithm that sells stock when the newspaper headlines have a "negative sentiment" help ensure that "market prices are honest and fair"? What's "honest and fair" about stocks across the board dropping because of bushfires or a virus outbreak, only to rise back to pre-headline levels half a day later?
Netflix is definitely pursuing the quantity over quality strategy, which doesn’t appeal to me.

That said, there are some really strong offerings hidden in the noise. The shift to originals over licensed is hurting the average quality level... but it definitely makes sense as a long term play.

It still makes sense for me and I am happy support the many gambles they take with content... even if most are lackluster.
This sounds great in theory, but in practice the results seem to be that Sheriffs obtain enormous amounts of power without the (sometimes still insufficient) checks and balances that traditional police departments have. It turns out that when you have something as powerful and capable of abuse as a police force, you want lots of experienced people overseeing it, and (most importantly) subjecting it to routine investigation. A popularity contest every few years doesn’t accomplish this well.

No association however to the identity of the phone owner.

Phone billing records seem a lot jucier for that.
Before anyone says anything:

DVD.com is owned by Netflix. And honestly, if you're hooked on the availability of content and don't want to ditch the Netflix pipeline completely, switching to DVD.com probably makes sense. The revenue shift from Netflix to DVD.com will have the same net impact on spending decisions.
I feel like the odd man out, with everyone shitting on Netflix and it's original content. I love my Netflix subscription. There's tons for my (young) daughter to watch. There's tons for my wife and I to watch (Sabrina, Daybreak, Magicions, Badlands). There's tons for me to watch without my wife (mostly anime, etc). Sure, some of the shows are cheesy, but some aren't, and I like the mix.

They don't have every movie I want to see, but they're also not my only source for entertainment. As one source of multiple, I think they're great. I can't think of any service that would be good for a single source of entertainment.

I honestly just don't understand the hate.
Surprising facts about student loans
This is very insightful. The higher the level you want to perform on, the more responsibility you have to bear yourself. Asking for permission is really asking for someone else to take the risk, the blame, and therefore the responsibility. That only works up to a point, and you will have to get used to shouldering more and more responsibility on your own initiative to truly get anywhere.
>but now that everyone wants their own streaming service

Well, everyone wants their own subscription service, whether it be video-on-demand or a calendar app.
