Everyone pays too much attention to Twitter. Social media has produced an environment in which short, highly emotional content reproduces the fastest, thus the evolution of information in our society has trended toward memetic oversimplifications and absolutes, driven by vanity and outrage and virtue signaling. We are optimizing for the worst qualities of discussion at the largest scales.

And yet it seems hard to imagine it could be any other way. Our evolutionary biology and inbred tribalism, social proclivities and laziness are what make the platforms so popular, the evolution of our memes is directly tied to our evolutionary biology's feedback mechanisms. It's hard to see just how we could optimize for nuanced, balanced and productive discussion at scale. We have platforms that could in theory optimize in that direction, but the widest audiences trend toward the simplest to consume content (reddit is filled with interesting discussion in the right places, but most of its audience just see the quick reinforcing memes that occupy the front page).

So do journalists pay too much attention to Twitter? Well if we value nuance and balance in our information then yes, any attention on Twitter is probably too much. But of course we don't, not at scale, rather we value audience size. And for that Twitter is a great place to pay attention. Hence much modern journalism is just a glorified retweet, part of Twitter and Facebook even if it is posted elsewhere. In the memes arms race the best weapons are those that can be spread widely and quickly, and for that Twitter provides ample ammunition.

I find that most tapes are not blacking out everything I want, and often light can leak through the cases of cheap equipment. For those cases I usually use a combination of tape (of any kind) with pieces of tin foil underneath, which reliably blocks all the light. Of course make sure to not use it on any contacts, but that's usually not an issue for consumer grade hardware.

No it's racist to ignore the injustices we commit in the west while condemning Asian countries for doing the same thing with different branding.

I also can't imagine that laying underground empty tubes isn't isn't cheaper over the long term. Sure, much more expensive now but they can be used with very little maintenance for decades and are much more resiliant against weather.

You’re completely ignoring the fact that protest and speech are exactly how things change in a free democratic society. Try that in China and you’re likely to find yourself in a “re-education” (concentration) camp. It’s not apples to apples comparing the US to China in terms of human rights and civil society... China is truly an authoritarian regime.

Compartmentalization is much more for controlling flooding than fire, although it can help slow down (but not stop) the spread of fire throughout a ship. It sounds a bit late for that in this case, and setting watertight integrity also requires people to physically close and dog hatches which likely can't even be survivably reached at this point.
> On the other, malevolent change can be stymied indefinitely

When the party that made the "malevolent" change is kicked out, then whatever they did can be reverted very easily.

Contrast that with: if passing anything is hard, and a "malevolent" change does manage to be rammed through somehow (e.g., one party controls things for a two-year period), then reversing it will also be very difficult.

You're typically paying for three things:

> “We assume our perception is a perfect reflection of the physical world around us, but this study shows that each of us has a unique visual fingerprint,”

I don’t think anyone makes that assumption. I think most people know we don’t actually “see” the physical world, our eyes receive electrical signals from photons and our brain interprets those signals and for lack of a better word we hallucinate the physical world (in the form of the visual light spectrum).

By its very nature, from a common sense point of view photons don’t hit our eyes at the same time or the same angle; therefore, electric impulses will be different reflected Differently in our hallucinations. And even if 2 people had the same distance/angle, there are sometimes other issues differentiating our hallucinations, just one example being color blindness, where for various reasons one person hallucinates different colors than another based on the same electric impulses from photons. Even without color blindness this happens regularly (think of the blue/white dress vs black/gold viral photo a few years back)

There is hypocrisy but the threat posed by China to the liberal world order is much more serious than the thread posed by Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, and in both those cases there is a bit of a deal with the devil.

If the Saudi and Pakistani regimes fall we will probably see much worse things popping up.
Even if everything was encrypted (which is not the case) and that encryption could not be downgraded by a mitm (which is not the case - cf starttls), it can still be used to track whereabouts, or disrupt the connectivity or utilise any mitm zero day.

> The notion that China lacks 'proper civil society' is in my mind rooted in a western sense of orientalism and good old fashioned racism.

And this is good, old fashioned bullshit.

Chinese citizens do not have the same rights and protections westerners do, nor a democratic system. They don't have the right to speak freely, congregate as they wish, protest or foment change in their own society.

Western societies are imperfect, those rights are not protected or executed perfectly there. But they do exist, and the problems with them are orders of magnitude smaller than their total lack in China.
Just because somebody is rich, doesn't imply there are many resources. It's just a debt owed by society, which can also go bankrupt. Jeff Bezos earning another Billion does not imply more houses have been created or more plants have been reared and so on. It just means people bought stuff from him, in return for a promise to pay them back in the future (money is a promise of future goods). If Bezos decided today to buy loads of grain with his Billions, to feed the poor somehwere, that grain would be missing somewhere else.

The talk about "businesses that society should consider viable" is nonsense, as the example of the pensioner wanting someone to clean their apartment shows. What should they do if society doesn't consider them "viable", commit suicide?

If society doesn't deem some business "viable", they can simply refuse to work for that business.

If you want to create jobs "collectively", sorry to say, you are in full blown socialist territory, and you will fail, for the same reasons that socialism always fail (because planning economies can't assign resources efficiently enough).
If you aren't working I'd apply for anything going. Try and create a few projects however trivial, apply for jobs widely and spend some time with your family. Good luck!
~$80K per semester at Harvard. I now understand why almost every graduate of Harvard tends to bring up the fact they graduated from Harvard on nearly every conversation.

I went to a public school and my 4 year tuition cost is equivalent to half the cost of single a semester at Harvard. I only graduated a couple of years ago so inflation is negligible.

Guess who I work with the most and still earn the same wage (if not more)? It makes you wonder if Ivy League is nothing more than a brand name at this point.

It’s like buying anything “Supreme” or Gucci related, except for the “intellectuals”.

As for the article, I didn’t really care too much for it. Sort of just skimmed through it and it seemed like an ad for something he was part of. The only thing that caught my eye was the tuition bill at Harvard.
You're missing one of the largest risk vectors in the whole 5G game.

5G operates on higher frequency and requires a larger density of base stations. If you can identify individual devices -- even without cracking the encryption they use -- then you can track them them geographically, and also conduct traffic analysis.

5G presents a potential security risk because it allows far greater granularity of device localization, even without GPS.
> I'm constantly seeing westerners whine about Chinese human rights violations while simultaneously ignoring the HR violations occurring everywhere else, especially in the west. American cops routinely kill people.

Say what? Haven't the previous months' worth of protest illustrated quite well that exactly the HR violations you use in your example are very much not ignored?

Besides, HR violations in a free and open society can be talked about and acted upon. China is a dystopian hellhole where even raising the plight of the Uyghurs in concentration camps, or the lack of free speech, or arbitrary arrests, or …, is dangerous. Full stop. For all its problems, the West is in a completely different league where it comes to HR violations. For sure we have problems, but China's are orders of magnitude bigger. So no wonder we "whine".
Minimalist Roadmap to Becoming a Full-Stack Developer
Long-term, statistically, sure - but there are real consequences to people losing their jobs over automation, in that the skillset they built up over the years has suddenly become useless. They usually do not grow into a higher position, instead they have to find something else, take a pay cut, or end up unemployed and part of the statistics.

So yeah, on a macro scale there is no evidence that automation causes job loss, but on an individual level it definitely does. It's personal tragedies. What would you do if you lost your job because a system took over? What if you're in your fifties and you find your ability to learn new things is severely diminished? What if you're that age and employers won't hire you because there's people younger, smarter, more energetic than you, or a machine can do the job you're applying to?
If you're big enough for your brand image to be damaged by your bug reporting tool, customer analytics or payment flow having a third party logo, you're probably more in the realms of paying for the enterprise grade white labelling offering than 'are ten seats worth the money' anyway. Of course you can definitely wreck your sales with spammy use of email automation tools or evasive customer service, but that's more to do with how tools are used than the third party involvement.

And if SaaS is valuable enough to actually replace staff you've outgrown the simple decision making aid too, although I agree that you can dent morale at the margin by introducing SaaS oriented towards micromanagement or somewhat improve it with less crappy processes even with the simplest of software changes.

In the case of Hong Kong, there is no need to rely on the CCP to tell us how many they killed. Hong Kong has much higher levels of press freedom than China, and deaths would likely be made known in other ways.[1]

Yeah, true. But I've seen three bird calls that don't fit that pattern in my garden. Long tail tits seem to move around in small flocks, probably eating the insects in my trees. Every few seconds one of the flock flies to another tree. If the others don't follow, it flies back. While this is happening there is a constant chorus of little chirps. My guess is that they feel "attracted" to the centroid of the chirps, as a simple, almost mechanical way to keep the flock together (its hard to see each other amongst all the branches).

The other case is juvenile magpies. As adults I mostly hear them shouting aggressively at each other. But if the youngsters don't know I'm there, I've sometimes heard them chatting. The sounds they make are complex and quiet. A bit like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P4ZVgjslVQ but I've always seen them in pairs or groups when doing this.

Third is the Robin (European). They also have a whisper song. Sometimes they do it so quietly that I have to be within a few feet to hear it. And there's no other bird around. I guess it's a male who is just working on new material to impress the ladies with later.

Even if it was, that is not an example of tweaking the law to make a criminal out of anyone inconvenient, it is a case of tweaking the truth to fit the definition of something which is a crime, and should be a crime.
I don't think it has been ignored in the west, but at the same time we need to be honest to say that it has never been tackled properly either

And limiting the problem to only US is pretty much denying that HR violation is present also elsewhere in the west (look at the condition of the migrant in Europe as example)
Given the net number of massive companies that emerged from VCs, this is obviously not true.
Where I'm from, shops started using .95 pricing _long_ before the idea of scrapping 1c and 2c coins was raised, purely because handling those coins wasn't worth it.

A key difference is that we have VAT, which is built into the price, rather than a US-style sales tax, which is not. In the US, if you're handling cash you still have to deal with 1c and 2c coins because of that. That made it easier for us to scrap 1c and 2c coins, but creates resistance for any US attempts to do the same.

One other thing we did was introduce symmetrical rounding rules on the final price of cash transactions: https://www.centralbank.ie/consumer-hub/rounding

Applying rounding was entirely voluntary, and all the Government did was gradually take the 1c and 2c coins out of circulation. After that, it was a matter of time for the problem to go away.
