I'm not saying anything that can't be persuasively argued. There are in fact books about this, the most famous being "Manufacturing Consent" which proposes a five pronged propaganda model that ensures media compliance with US state interests. Calling to censor opinions like that shows how narrow liberal opinion is and unwilling to tolerate dissent.

To add on a third issue, also anecdotally, there's the nature of duties that the typical county sheriff finds themselves with.

They're not local police, they're not state police or FBI, their primary job often winds up being running corrections. Secondary job is detail work on county property. Actual job is often being a patronage network for their boss, the sheriff, help him get re-elected and keep your job.

It's actually the worst possible scenario, because we bring in all the downsides of an elected sheriff with none of the upsides -- they don't work on any of the things where being elected would add accountability. Hiring standards are low, they're based on political usefulness, and there's no downside to the sheriff because who gives a shit about a prisoner being abused.

It's possible that elected local police chiefs might improve things in a way that doesn't extrapolate from the way elected sheriffs work.
That may be what the campaigners mean, but that's not what the word "defund" means. So it makes the campaign sound like something it isn't.

This isn't some radical new definition. Beyond the dictionary, here's American political precedent. The Republicans attempted to eliminate funding for Obamacare by "defunding" it.

If you want to incriminate yourself with a deep fake, go for it. But the point is that video evidence will cease to be a reliable source of truth by the end of this decade. That's stunning, and the implications are drastic.

Digital signatures to validate a source and recording method are needed.
In Australia, the photo has to be signed by a guarantor [1] stating it's an accurate photo. However the guarantor can be any Australian passport holder who's known you for over a year and isn't an immediate relation/partner etc, so it's not particularly fraud proof.

I think there would be absolutely no possible way to restrict drone technology of this kind, and so the article is built on an irrelevant foundation.

Nuclear weapons are restrictive because the enrichment process is difficult.

Biological weapons are restrictive because the cultivation process is difficult.

Drones are easy, machine learning is becoming more approachable for every person in civilized society.

Better to make a counter-drone-swarm technology company than worry about what regulators are going to do when a terrorist cell starts to manufacture killer drones - you cannot stop that with regulation, you can only stop that with your own drone swarm.

This is a new age of war, and if free society is to stand a chance it needs to develop and research countermeasures for this sort of stuff - classification and regulation is meaningless as deterrence.
You can have a financial system without a stock market. It would be constituted with public banks or various kinds of credit unions. The reason I cited retirement plans is that is the most sympathetic argument I could think of for caring about the stock market going up. Only ~20% of Americans own stocks, so it going up basically just enriches 1/5th of the population at the expense of the rest.
Also, what number of drones. At why point does a swarm become a WMD?

To me, it’s more about intelligence than numbers. You could have a single rocket but if it’s smart enough to evade enemy defenses, that rocket could level a city.

Let's say you can't manipulate history (it's possible btw).

History is only as good as the one telling the story. In this case, who inserted the initial video? The FIRST person who inserted gets to say "this is truth".

With Bitcoin what's being traded existed from the beginning. It was "mined" from the original pool. Here we all collectively said, "we trust that original pool not to be shifty". So because we trust that original source, we can trade these "items" confidently.

Here the question isn't "Proof of work", it's "proof of source" which currently I cannot see a good solution for.
I generally wouldn't go for such nonsense either, and I typically share the usual US sentiment at a restaurant of getting in, getting fed, and getting out. But I have to admit that on a trip to Spain a couple years ago, where our two guides for the day had booked us a table at a little restaurant for lunch and I then insisted they come eat with us, before I knew it 2pm became 5pm from us just easily talking about nothing. It was actually quite lovely.
I use Ethereum every week. I buy things with Bitcoin at least once a month. I invest and bank part of my money on decentralized applications pegged to the USD in stable coins. Sorry, blockchain is more than useful and your rhetoric is out of date.

The use of blockchain is important as a global timestamp that can be trusted.

The majority of petrol station traffic would be from the 'every day commuter', travelling to and from work.

And the majority of these 'every day commuters' would currently own conventional cars.

Those who drive electric cars would be charging their cars at home and as such hardly every need to stop in these stores.

By replacing conventional cars with EVs will only see that tight profit margin getting tighter.
So this sort of thing seems like a big deal for indie video game devs.

One of the big problems at the moment is that photorealistic texturing basically requires finding and mapping a real life actor, which is all sorts of expensive.

This looks like a way to get past that in a super-efficient way: just mock up what "look" you're going for with a character, hit render and out pops all the data needed for a texture (I suspect we're not too many iterations way from also getting bodies, meshes and animation skeletons).

This would make it a huge field-leveller for catching up for HD content production.
Yep, it's got more functionality at this point. I wonder if the author of Grid.js could incorporate the added functionality.
Gnus only got moved into Emacs core a couple of years ago. Lars got tired of supporting fourteen different Emacs versions, including XEmacs, and finally just tied it to core. The ELPA package repository is developing the concept of core-but-installable, whereby a package is shipped with core, but a newer version can be installed via ELPA, and that might be a viable path for Gnus.

I don't think the issue was needing Gnus in core, so much as it was avoiding all the multi-version support headache. But one could simply declare that the package is only supported for the two most recent Emacs versions, for instance, and call it good.
I'm curious how you feel about CloudFlare as a registrar not allowing GitBook to use an external root nameserver.

Being forcibly stuck on CloudFlare's own nameservers only sounds very nefarious, and isn't a limitation I've ever heard of with any other registrar. For instance, it would break my tooling that uses my host's APIs to control DNS records through their nameserver.

I'd be very appreciative if eastdakota or jgrahamc could elaborate on what possible reasoning there is for this restriction as well.

Guiliani's crackdown on crime coincideded with a nationwide drop in crime in the 1990s, in cities that didn't implement the same tough "broken window" policies as NYC.

Between 1991 and 2000, homicide rates fell from 9.8 to about 5.5 per 100k people, which is a drop of 44%. There were probably multiple overlapping causes [1], but the most compelling explanation so far is the removal of lead from gasoline in the 1970/80s [2].

Can you give an example? Google is drawing a blank for that.

My favorite piece of Japanese syntax is that adjectives can be conjugated for tense and conditionals, meaning that "It was delicious" has to be expressed as "It is delicioused" (oishikatta desu) and you can say "if it had not been red" with a single word (akakunakattara).
I don't think what you're saying here disagrees with my theory. You're describing the mechanics of the second half of part 2 ('which is captured by large corporations').

As government policy is restructured to concentrate more and more wealth at the top, the rest of the economy slowly becomes illiquid and the government has to keep printing money to keep the axles greased. It's unsustainable and we're seeing the endgame now.

Anyone who's interested in the cultivation of cannabis or the historical production of hashish in thoseareas and the middle east should check out these books

http://www.thegreatbooksofhashish.com/

Especially if they're interested in seeing amazing photos of forests of 12 foot ganja trees in the Himalayan mountains where monks produce hash by walking through the ganja forests and brushing their hands through the trees to collect resin in the way they have for hundreds of years. Or seeing regions of Afghanistan where hash production went on for at least 1000 years before Russia and America's invasions of them essentially destroyed a millenia old trade.

Looking at some of those photos really connects you with the near prehistoric connection people have with cannabis in a way I haven't seen many other things do.

It really is a great theft to humanity what's occurred in recent history with it.

Biological weapons are more restricted by the fact that they're impossible to control, and so using an effective one is a suicide mission.

AH is clearly doing this as a counter to YC.

On the one hand, it doesn't sound like much, but on the other, 2000-era angel investments were really small - $25k - $50k were typical.

(Woz's seed funding to Google was $100k.)

Also, VCs are really into larger, later-stage investments this decade, usually more than $2 million per startup.

Having said that, $2.2 million is like 8-9 senior engineers in SV for a year, so not much.
Running multiple containers is faster and more efficient than multiple VMs. Running a container on the same kernel as the host is faster and more efficient than a VM. If you're trying to run an app across different OS kernels, you still have to use a VM unless you can compile your app on that kernel natively. This project really doesn't do much beyond what a VM gets you, and you still have to configure the host outside the container to enable virtualization.

In effect, you're telling me you are willing to trust every/any phone to self sign a video and upload it into the block chain as truth?

So as a bad actor, I'll just take a video of a deep fake video with my self signing phone to circumvent your trust?

Ah but it's easy to spot a video of a video!

But what if I just replace the camera with a direct feed system?

That's absurd amount of money/work, why would you do that?

Because I'm a state level actor and I really want this war to start.

BTC & Eth are trustworthy because the original pool we can perform tests against the math which it is built upon. In fact, it doesn't matter who uploaded BTC/Eth. The system is a self contained math problem.

An uploaded video does not have such self-testing ability because it always comes down to "who" took it and who uploaded it.

"Trust at the source" or "Who to trust?" is now the problem. Blockchain cannot solve that alone. I don't know any system that could.
I don’t think that’s an accurate translation at all!

Skinning a cat is not a common thing. It’s not a normal food for English speakers, so the phrase carries some sense that what you’re doing is unusual.

It’s usually applied to a situation completely unrelated to skinning or otherwise preparing food, so it carries some sense of absurdity.

Most people using the phrase have never skinned anything, so there’s (usually!) a sense of ignorance on both sides.

Your translation brings none of that.

If I were to translate that idiom back to English and aim for accuracy, it would be something like, “what you’re doing is unusual, and neither of us have experience doing it, and the way you’re doing it is different than the ways I have heard of, but I suppose there’s more than one valid way to do it.” Which, I think, fits the spirit of the other examples - a very short expression that carries tons of unspoken cultural context with it, to the point that there isn’t a direct translation.
Theoretically it would work if the devices were exposed as directories, not files (which is basically what /proc actually does for most things).

/dev/ttyS0 should really be /dev/ttyS0/{data, ctr, baud, parity, stopbits, startbits} (probably a bunch I'm forgetting).

>It's really just that we don't have a singular corresponding word, not that they can't be translated.

That kinda goes without saying, right? For the converse to be true there would have to be ideas that cannot be expressed in certain languages, as if they weren't "complete" analogously to Turing Completeness.

And yet there are many words in many languages that don't translate well or directly to/from English. French is a great example, where you have the word préciser which is a verb that, translated literally, means "to precise [something]" as in, to specify or to explain, but neither of those really capture the meaning of préciser. There really isn't a direct translation, but of course I can still make the same though understood in English or in French.
