As explored in the original book [0], it is hypocritical to both succeed because of a meritocracy and also support the idea that the meritocracy is just. The underlying principle is that justice empathizes with everyone, not just those with merit, in determining a path forward. To quote the author,

> Educational injustice enabled people to preserve their illusions, while inequality of opportunity fostered the myth of human equality.

To get a glimpse at true justice, please consider the following thought experiment, which leads to what I call "algorithmic justice." There is a traditional game that children play where there are two children and a cake. The first child cuts the cake, and the second child selects which piece goes to whom. Let us do the same, but more broadly. Take the resources of our society, the raw inputs and the processed goods and the man-hours of labor, and apportion them to each person as seems fair and just, by asking each person to apportion them amongst each other, and going to the iterated minimization of disagreement and regret.

This is a game that many political ideologies have attempted, but they have all failed because they chose to take a shortcut and use some sort of heuristic rule for judging people. However, it turns out that people are too unique to be judged as a single collective group fairly by any single metric.

> When discussing encryption, many people say that this is an impossible problem to solve because of math. This conversation has shifted to being a problem about incentives. > Math is impossible to change. Incentives are changeable. If the only problems here are the specifics of the scheme and the incentives of people involved, those are solvable.

It's still a math problem in the end.

Today if you want to break into someones encrypted data, you either have to break encryption algorithm (which is hard and by hard I mean even stuff we consider insecure like 3ple DES are still not broken)
or you have to break each data individually.

With skeleton keys that changes.
Suddenly all the world secrets are one* key away. That is the big difference.
Doesn't matter how you do it, it fundamentally changes the equation

And you open up HUGE attack vector, by enabling bad actors to bribe/coerce people with access to skeleton keys.

I don't think it's fare to compare Poland to Turkey. No one is jailing judges.

It extremely hard to do a major judicial reform which is needed. The ruling party argument is that that the system of election the supreme court is flawed. There is a risk of deep state influence from the previous system and ties to Russia.

When Germany was reunified they a purge of people with ties to DDR. Nothing like that happened in Poland.

> All I want from filesystem watcher is to track files by pattern and just re-run the command, however complex that may be to implement via OS interfaces.

I assume I'm misunderstanding something, so this is probably a naive question and maybe you can explain further, but if that is all you need why not just write it yourself? It sounds like an <1 hour project to write something cross-platform in Qt that monitors the filesystem recursively with QFileSystemWatcher https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qfilesystemwatcher.html checks for the configured regexen and runs the configured command.
If the speed is the only criterium then you can just play old games.

It's not fair comparison since the games are completely different beasts today - huge open worlds, detailed textures, complex AIs.

Game studios could design games which are super fast to load and play but some other aspect would suffer instead. It's a trade off and it looks like users are OK with waiting a little bit if it means better gameplay.

I remember about 10-15 years ago, I went there during their Liberation Day. There was a TV on, and I could understand most of what was said, due to having visited Bulgaria many times before. The guy was standing on a podium, between two eagles. First they played Flight of the Valkyries. Then the guy started speaking openly, and to wild cheering form the crowds, about how he wanted to send Turks and Gipsys back to the countries they came from. I was just, "Holy hell, this is on public TV in Bulgaria? What YEAR is this???" I had to ask the shop keeper. He told me the show was live.

I can get an entire season of one of my favorite TV shows on DVD at the used bookstore for an average of $15. Not only does it usually take me a month to go through the 24 episodes in a typical season, but there's special features to enjoy and I can re-watch the show at any time without paying for it a second time.
I was curious about this, so did a little search:

...

> After a meeting of officials from the health department and both companies on Monday, the government announced it will still pay the generic firm the amount of its contract— $C1.3m (£580 000; $824 000)—and will buy another 900 000 tablets from Bayer. Bayer's price is said to be $C2.50 a tablet, compared with Apotex's $C1.50.

> Canada's federal government has narrowly avoided having to pay for twice as much of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin (Cipro) as it thinks it needs to protect its citizens in the case of an outbreak of anthrax.

> The federal health department circumvented its own drug patent rules when it ordered about 900 000 tablets of the medication from a generic drug manufacturer, Apotex. The patent, held by Bayer AG, does not expire until 2004. Bayer reportedly threatened to sue. But after an announcement by the government that it would both pay the generic firm the amount of its contract—$C1.3m (£574 000; $825 000)—and buy another 900 000 tablets from Bayer, both drug companies let the health minister, Allan Rock, off the hook.

> Under the patent act, the government could have obtained authorisation to have a non-patented version of ciprofloxacin on a non-commercial basis, but it failed to ask for this.

An interesting experiment: if you have the chance of going to one those decades-old stores using text based interfaces, ask the employees about which systems they like most -- the old-school ones or the new desktop or web based ones.

I invariably get votes for the first. And the reasons are basically always the same: they are fast and just work.

It feels like the entire user interface field is creeping.

I have no idea if remdesivir works or not, but that is the problem with drugs in a shortage scenario like we're currently seeing. If there aren't enough of them, you're going to save them for the most critical patients. But those patients are the most likely to die anyway. That's why randomized controlled trials are so important. Data from a hospital that's not randomizing distribution of the drug is not really helpful.
To be fair, executions ("customer purchases") are relatively rare events. If we want to keep with the analogy e-commerce, you can think of orders/cancels as merchants repricing their wares and changing their on-offer quotas hundreds of times per second. Each. As a marketplace owner you probably would want to at least rate-limit that.

In a physical store you wouldn't get to the shelves from the throng of clerks running around with sticker guns.

1983 was they year when I got into computers and programming, and I am 100% with the author here.

We have expanded the scope, to be sure, in that time but we've done it without a very deep understanding of the fundamental processes and so, in short, we've made a mess of it. We were in such a rush to make the perfect not the enemy of the good, that what we have isn't even really good anymore.
> The government controlling social media platforms is vastly different from a collection of companies controlling social media platforms that they built

If the difference is measured by the effect produced then in many cases it is zero, that is, there is no any difference. For example,we frequently see collective censorship which effectively means the absence of freedom of speech.

In fact, there exist also other interesting forms like collective (or democratic) racism or collective (democratic) totalitarism. For normal people, the origin of these rules does not really matter.
Everyone seems to want to control social media platforms these days, it just gets dressed up differently depending on how the reporting party feelings about you, after which a journalist will tack on a headline finishing with "... (And That's a Good Thing)" in a way which will never not remind me of a certain Twilight Zone episode.

To be fair - we asked to go to the library because that's where the crappy old machines lived.

Excuse me while I go down memory lane...

I think when I started (1995) it was a computer room with some 486s and the library with 186s. Then we got the internet, a single ISDN line shared by all of them, which was about as fast as you'd expect.

At some point these got upgraded to pentiums with windows 98 or similar - in those happy days the IT people at the school had absolutely no idea what they were doing so we had a happy few months of installing and playing doom and quake over the network.

I once found the IT technician going around all the computers and holding down the delete key to clear out the username field grumbling about "bloody kids filling these up", he was very impressed when I showed him how to select all...

I think it's funny that Forbes actually used a Twitter post of a screenshot of a Reddit thread. That is just lazy reporting.

Additionally, while I don't use Tik Tok nor do I trust it, I don't find anything overtly scary about what Tik Tok is collecting. Device information, network information, location information, other installed apps; this is not uncommon. The reverse proxy thing is a bit strange. Downloading zips and running the payload is not outside the realm of possibility either. I'm not a mobile programmer but I've had to write similar code for completely legitimate desktop programs several times. Anti-debugging and obfuscation is literally just the way apps are made these days. You can even build it into your toolset and let your IDE do it for you. Having a crappy non-encrypted API is nothing new, and I absolutely refute the claim that other social media apps don't try to hide the data they collect and send about you. Almost everything sent over the web by major platforms is encoded or encrypted in some fashion. And it's par for the course for Chinese software to have obvious backdoors, hardcoded credentials, and overall crappy security. I can't speak for their censorship or moral practices because I don't use the app.

I am not saying I support TikTok or censorship. I'm just saying I don't think the behaviour described is enough to call the app a "spying platform" for the Chinese government. It probably is, but 100% of that work would be done on the back-end anyway. Client apps are general-purpose information gatherers. That is their primary function. That should surprise no-one.

I read your comment several times while trying to understand why you seemingly oppose higher level comment and then confirm it at the same time. Only later I understood that you state that P4 with XP was more responsive than modern HW with Win10? Come on, that's not true at all. Every action would be slower and some much slower. Opening any heavy app (like say browser) will take much more time even on older software versions.
I think this was only added in the latest iOS release. That said, most iOS devices that can run the latest version are running some variant of v13.
It will disproportionately take away the more wealthy and better educated. The majority of HKers live in public housing, pay no tax and are unlikely to have the means to live in the UK since there will be no recourse to public funds.

This level of brain drain, as in the other mass migration events away from HK, could trigger the government to loosen their grip.

Apple has introduced an appeal process for these kind of rejections. They could challenge the guideline.

"Additionally, two changes are coming to the app review process and will be implemented this summer. First, developers will not only be able to appeal decisions about whether an app violates a given guideline of the App Store Review Guidelines, but will also have a mechanism to challenge the guideline itself."

I understand the reason you have described to change religion or become an atheist. But in part of India where I am from, I see people adopting another religion and still taking the cast name with them. They will only allow marriage within "Christian + same cast" people. Even People who have renounced God and become atheist home on to their cast. I guess it is the tribal instincts of human being kicking in.
The answer is also “foreigners”. Regular working hours for a German exchange can produce some pretty brutal trading hours for say, London. When I worked in finance they started serving breakfast at IIRC 5am, since some trading desks started their day then and ended around noon. Expanding those hours can entice foreigners to trade during non-insane local hours.
On the paper, Turkiye is a democracy. In reality, since 1950's it was not. It is a dictatorship or oligarchy at best, funded by the big money of the world, mostly from the US. Rigged elections, placing puppet governments (like Tayyip) is an ongoing theme. At the time of election, people are given the impression of who they are electing as it is in a democracy, while the result is already known by the powers that be.
Other than few military takeovers of the country since 1960, this country have never had fair and clear elections. Hence, Tayyip's puppet government has ben brought to action by the same powers that be, to decimate the Turkish armed forces, so, no more of those nasty military take-over actions can be repeated.
Turkiye has turned into a Banana republic for what it is worth.
After working in the emergency room for three years now, I can firmly say no treatment even comes close to prevention.
Hong Kong was a British colony for generations and is still strongly influenced by western culture. Probably why China has such an obsession with crushing it.

Adopting HK citizens is a far easier sell than Syrians. They already speak English, are highly educated, wealthy, westernized, and have special status in UK law.

Letting a ton of refugees in is a large burden on the host country. They don't share British culture and values, tend to have no education or marketable skills, are in poor health, don't speak the language, need a lot of government support, and depress wages for already poor citizens of the host country. It should still be done for humanitarian reasons but there's a lot of pushback from citizens for reasonable concerns.
It's very hard to give up your home, your friends, your connections, and potentially your family even if you have an opportunity for a better life.

Yes, a lot of those connections can potentially move to the same city & country as you but will your neighbor still be your neighbor? Will the bar at the end of the street you go to after a hard day still be there and know exactly what you want when you walk through the door?

The revolt started almost 15 months ago against this kind of crap from China. Emigration may protect you from getting arrested but you're giving up everything you know and love in exchange. That's not much of a deal.

I'm at least ambivalent about a general purpose encyclopedia having whole categories of articles that are mostly only accessible to specialists. In an ideal world, there would probably be a companion "Mathepedia" or something along those lines with a different target audience. But, of course, Wikipedia doesn't really have the concept of a specific reader persona like a conventionally edited reference does.
10 years ago I imagined online live tv would become 100% alacarte, pay just for what you watch... but unfortunately we continue to pay for tv like we always have, we just got rid of the box (in some cases not even the box).

I have tried Sling and have used all service's free trial, but at the end of the day I am not willing to pay full price to watch 10% of the content. I do miss watching live sports... and thankfully, we are getting more streaming options now.
You need to put them on notice for not speaking English at an American company. They need to learn this is America. Call them out and escalate up your management chain if they don’t stop. It’s extremely unprofessional and egregious to speak in another language that other people cannot understand in a business context.
You're not the only one to be deterred by that. I spend a lot of time building a curriculum for every new subject I learn online.

Freedom of speech is specifically freedom from the government interfering with your speech. Freedom of speech does not mean you can compel others into carrying your message forward.

Take your argument to its logical conclusion. Say I want everyone you come in contact with to hear my personal thoughts on government. Are you ok with being compelled to pass along a card with my diatribe on it to all of the people you interact with on a daily basis?
