You could also say it's the same reason asylum seekers and immigrants are called illegal aliens. It's still politics, just in a different direction. Framing something as a moral problem is not necessarily bad; it just has to be a real moral problem that justifies the proposed solution. The problem with the Iraq war was that the government lied about the problem so that they could justify a bad solution.
There's some relevance in that investors like that are likely to have no ties to the community and no interest in anything other than profit. Of course many local investors are the same way.

No, I mean to the right of the median. For example, in poll data from last year 61% of Americans overall but only 51% of black Americans support gay marriage. On some issues like interracial marriage, they're actually even further to the right; 18% of black Americans say interracial marriage is bad for society, while only 12% of Republican-leaners do.

> Recording who set a police car on fire and refusing to hand over the recording is a different matter.

That might be true if you know that Journalist X has an actual picture of the person lighting the car on fire and your are asking for that specific picture.

However, that is NOT the case here. The police are on a fishing expedition and are asking for pictures that "might" include the perpetrators.

Those pictures also might include a picture of someone the police might like to identify in order to exert some intimidation. The fact that the judge limited the scope is not terribly useful. Parallel construction is a thing.

Journalists aren't evil. They don't necessarily want criminals to get away with their crimes. Normally you would just politely ask the journalists to go over their pictures and turn over any that they think would be helpful.

However, after the police attacked journalists on camera, you can imagine that most journalists are more inclined to give the police the middle finger rather than cooperate.
They still charge you for the privilege of using a card though.
They need to partner with the US Postal Service and the USPS needs to become the primary delivery method for this type of retail. The USPS has the advantage of already visiting every reltail location 6 days a week for mail delivery. As far as society as a whole is concerned, adding additional postal workers to the workforce is a lot better than adding more temporary gig workers.
Perhaps it’ll improve the security patch situation we have now where they differ by just build numbers, though.
The key trick isn't so much the two as that they're randomly selected.

I moved a large amount of money a few years back to buy my home (I do not like debt, so I saved up until I could afford somewhere to live, then I bought it)

The bank's web site lets you type in any amount of money but then it says politely that you can't do this from the web site, please call the bank.

I called the bank (they always pick up in 2-3 rings, I've worked with one of their founders, ensuring this was one of the key ideas behind the bank) and explained what I wanted to do. The nice lady took down all the details and then she explained that now one of her colleagues would be randomly selected to call me back and confirm everything and we hung up.

Sure enough, less than a minute later another of the people from the bank called (with the agreed password for when the bank calls me) and had me read out all the transaction details again, at which point the transaction was confirmed.

Think about that scenario as a bad guy trying to corrupt it. You bribe one employee to pretend someone called and authorised a huge transfer. OK. But then a different random employee has to confirm it. How do you bribe them? You have no way to know who it will be! Do you try just bribing every single employee who works the phones? Not very practical.

The other thing banks do is they background check employees. You can't test for "willing to take bribes" but you can weed out potential hires with previous convictions for financial crime, or debt problems. I've had checks like that for jobs touching sensitive personal information.

If they could have 1,000 asat sats, they'd want to have 1,000. Can you imagine them saying "sure, let's just have an X-37B, one, just one, it will do"? If you need these in a shooting war, 1 ain't gonna be enough. You need lots of them. You can't have lots of them if: they're big and heavy (launches are too infrequent and too expensive) or if they're too expensive (you want 1,000 but can only afford 10).
If I understand correctly the satellites would be much dimmer there, but otherwise you'd see the same problem - correct me if I'm wrong.

Cold Showers: For when people get too hyped up about things
Is Open Source Even Relevant in Serverless
This is from Jason Stanley’s book, “How Fascism Works”:

Politicians who describe whole categories of persons as “criminals” are imputing to them permanent character traits that are frightening to most people, while simultaneously positioning themselves as our protectors. Such language undermines the democratic process of reasonable decision making, replacing it with fear. Another salient example in the U.S. context is the use of the term “riot” to describe political protests. In the United States in the 1960s, the civil rights movement included black political protests in urban areas against police brutality (most famously in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles and the Harlem district of Manhattan). These protests were regularly described in the media as “riots.” As James Baldwin wrote at the time about the media description of these protests, “when white men rise up against oppression, they are heroes: when black men rise, they have reverted to their native savagery. The uprising in the Warsaw ghetto was not described as a riot, nor were the participants maligned as hoodlums: the boys and girls in Watts and Harlem are thoroughly aware of this.” 2 Such misrepresentations allowed Richard Nixon to run for office in 1968 on a “law and order” platform. Nixon’s administration is generally viewed as laying the groundwork for the subsequent mass incarceration of black American citizens.

In 2015, widespread protests by largely black crowds against police brutality occurred in Baltimore after the killing of Freddie Gray by police. In an article for Linguistic Pulse in April 2015, Nic Subtirelu compared different media outlets’ use of “protest” versus “riot” to describe the Baltimore protests. Subtirelu found that Fox News, the United States’ far-right media outlet, used “riot” in its coverage of the Baltimore unrest with more than twice the frequency of its use of “protest.” CNN, by contrast, used “riot” with only slightly more frequency than “protest,” and MSNBC used “protest” with only slightly more frequency than “riot” in its coverage of the unrest in Baltimore. 3 The misrepresentation of political protests as riots was a factor in the election campaign of Donald Trump, whose campaign had strong echoes of Nixon’s. Nixon, however, campaigned at a time of rising rates of violent crime. Trump’s successful “law and order” campaign took place under the conditions of some of the lowest rates of violent crime in recorded U.S. history.

Discussion that uses terms like “criminal” to encompass both those who commit multiple homicides for pleasure and those who commit traffic violations, or “riot” to describe a political protest, changes attitudes and shapes policy. A good example of what can result when language that criminalizes an entire group of people distorts debate and leads to unreasonable outcomes is the mass incarceration of American citizens of African descent.

Interesting examples.

These all form their own funnels. Take number 3, marriage and building something. That one alone if pursued means your dating preferences are very different from if you have a different purpose/goals. You filter out people differently. Potential actually matters. Idiosyncrasies matter. Lust is interpreted differently.

Your lens would be very different from someone who just marries for "love". Or casual hookups. Or even just marriage by itself.
Protests are when you peaceably assemble to air your grievances.

Riots are when people assemble and commit crimes. Especially felony crimes like arson, destruction of property, etc.

These are riots.
No, you misunderstand.

I have a kid who I taught to read by 2 years old. That was a mission. She hated it and hated me for it at the time.

But I just came off a 2 hour session with her teaching her SEO. She was jumping to do it, because that early reading taught her how to be self-sufficient in learning things herself from the very beginning.

Another mission was to teach her how to find and learn anything she wants in a short period of time. I did that and now she complains to me that her friends want her to do everything for them.

I told her that's how she makes money. By doing the things that other people are too lazy to do.

The point is that your mission with your kids is to actually force generic life skills down your children's throats. It's not an option!!!

Teach them to read! Teach them basic life values! Teach them global techniques that they can apply to learn anything they want later. These things are not something you leave up to kids -- unless they are learning disabled somehow.

Now she is interested in art, music, computers -- none of which I taught her, because she was able to quickly learn it herself.

A lot of parents just hands-off the kids, particularly in the early stages, and then you end up with a kid that is socially stilted, or unable to do anything for themselves later.

You’re correct. It’s disturbingly detailed as far as what it reveals about architecture.
Before considering abolishing the calendar perhaps consider abolishing DST, or the imperial system. The solar and lunar cycles, and day/night are important forces that life on earth have to work around; interplanetary civilization will not abolish the need for a calendar on Earth.
This doesn't seem to say what the title says. It reads more like "self motivation has inverse correlation with depression, anxiety".

I.e. it's not a matter of telling people to have a goal to avoid depression, but rather that people who are self motivated are also less prone to depression.

That seems almost obvious, and it causes less cognitive dissonance for me.
They certainly won't achieve their mission by giving up on it because someone didn't like it.

Absolutely. Spot on. Because marrying for the sake of marriage in 2020, is far, far from enough and will lead to breakup.

Having a purpose to getting married from the time of selecting the mate, is going to be different and driven in a different way.

It makes all the difference in finding the best person suited for you.
I’m not sure about your argument of “you have to build up”. Lot of places in Europe have strict limits regarding how high a building can be and they do have lot of small stores around, Berlin, that you mentioned, is very strict on this. A few examples: Hamburg residential areas seem to have ~4-5 floors max. Groningen has neighborhoods where apartment building are limited to only 2 floors (So just two apartments). They both have enough density to have small businesses around.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the US situation you’re comparing to, and people there just build flat, so even a few floors is already building up? That would be strange though...
Actually the side effects of radiation are often similar to surgery in the long run. Surgery is “front loaded” and may be followed by some recovery of function over a year or more. Radiation is “back loaded”, where you see the effects creep in over time. It all depends on a number of factors but it’s not that useful to compare short term.

I’m glad to hear you dad is doing well.
It is hardly news that American (and, to a smaller extent, European) reading tends to revolve around disposable media events. Specific books are announced, promoted, celebrated at launch parties, paraded on semi-arbitrary bestseller lists[1], advertised with author appearances, and then retired and forgotten just as quickly. Do you remember when you couldn't throw a rock without hitting a volume in the endless Left Behind series?

A lot of people I've talked to in the US enjoy specific books, to a large extent, because they are read by lots of other people at the same time. The spectacle gives the reader a sense of affirmation that the choice was a good one, and for a subset of book genres, wide readership is what allows a fandom to coalesce.

In this setting, an old and unpopular book is bad, because no one else is shipping Bjornstjerne Bjornson characters. It's almost as weird as going back to watch old baseball games.

But if that's not how and why you read, yeah, there are thousands upon thousands of wonderful and unusual books that will narrate a corner of human experience that you've never thought about before.

As an anecdote, Raintree County, a 19th-century family saga set in a fictional Southern town, was a cause celebré when it came out in 1948. The movie rights to it were sold before the novel was even published, and the eventual film won the best picture Oscar, beating out Gone with the Wind! Talk about changing tastes!

Same, it's amazing. Especially if you're an introvert. The difference is that with remote, at 5 p.m. you can also be done with all the household work easily. My home is cleaner and better maintained than ever, and I have more time.
So much better than having bs talks with colleagues about things I don't really care about - now, I only have non-work related discussions with whom I actually want about topics that I actually care about. It's just so much better.

Not even mentioning the cash savings since cooking at home, no more needing new clothes so often, the environmental impact etc.
It is not about bad habits, it's a systemic problem.

World leaders are also politicians that need to maintain their internal position (even dictators need to at least prevent a coup). So when they spew inflammatory rubbish it's often to appear tough to their internal audience, often at the cost of the interest of their own country.

This ideal world has to figure out how to deal with this conflict of interest.

That is an incorrect interpretation of the law. Regardless of whether you consider them distributors they still retain liability. The point of separating distribution from content creation, such as with the movie industry, is to shield the producer from liabilities associated with business relationships associated with distribution, such as movie theaters, and not end consumers. The end consumer can still sue the movie producer for content that is provably libel. In this regard of online content the distributors would retain liability as well as the creators of advertising content. The creators of advertising content are more challenging to identify though, since their intention is criminal.

I am completely fine with that since content moderation is virtually nonexistent online.

> being legally liable for all user content is not survivable

That is the same argument for opposing slavery. Its a meritless argument.

At any rate the section is most certainly a legal shield both in practice and intent contrary to your claim:

> this section also protects ISPs from liability for restricting access to certain material or giving others the technical means to restrict access to that material

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Decency_Act

As another example one of my coworkers claims residence in California where he owns an agricultural services business. He supplies labor to orchards to pick nuts and fruit. It costs more for the farms to hire him than for them to hire and manage the field labor directly. The only reason they use him is to shield themselves from liabilities associated with labor law. He is their legal shield in the capacity of a distributor and retains liabilities associated with such.
I've read elsewhere, via HN, that speed limits are generally set to the 85th percentile of traffic speeds. So in order for a speed limit to change, you probably need to show that more than 15% of drivers are speeding. You might do that by showing that this stretch of road is generating a disproportionate number of tickets.

You need a critical mass to be "on the wrong side". That's how marijuana was legalized, for example. Someone has to be the seed crystal around which the critical mass can grow.
Being more open minded allows me to maintain a friend group who's similarly open minded, and wouldn't ostracize me for holding opinions they don't approve of. From what I've seen this strategy works for most people, and life seems like it'd be really stressful otherwise; if I for example got a stalker and needed to start carrying a gun, I wouldn't want to be in a situation where my friends will abandon me if they find out.

I of course don't begrudge anyone who feels they have to keep a closed mind in order to maintain a reputation in their community.
My point is that your conception of individually-oriented social utility is based on hierarchical forms of epistemology that the people you cite themselves did not embrace. It’s a projection of Capitalist logic and forms of valuation that has little to do with how these networks work or form new knowledge.

Identifying individual variations in social utility is less important than furthering the network’s growth and ability to produce further improvements, in aggregate. This is why most serious researchers don’t work in industry and why the business world is dominated by inanity and con men.

That's not a strong argument, IMHO, since it would similarly condone any other law-breaking activity where the perpetrator disagrees with the law. It's not as if copyright wasn't controversial before or the IA's actions here have any realistic prospect of moving the needle.

If you're talking about civil disobedience, that's a different matter, but one of the key things about effective civil disobedience is that large numbers of people have to break the law and accept the penalty in order to overwhelm the system and thus show that the law does not have popular support.

I don't really think EV motors are super simple, but I appreciate just how many moving parts there are in a modern ICE.

I totally agree on the reliability point. ICE drivetrains have really been refined and typically last quite a long time. Last I checked, it's not usually the drivetrain that takes a car out of service anyway, so I don't expect EVs to really change the overall life expectancy.
