You must be misunderstanding the nature of poverty if you think so. Someone with better circumstances is by definition getting better support and help than someone with worse circumstances otherwise their circumstances would not be better. The more help you get the richer you are and there is no upper bound to that but if you don't get enough help that's when you are poor. I like the literacy example. Someone who learned to read and write at a school received more help than someone who didn't go to school. Now extend this to high school, university and all the job experience you got during your career. Someone who has gotten more help is not always deserving less help, especially if they can use that help to support themselves and free up or contribute resources to help others.

If you think this is a zero sum game then diverting that attention to someone else will not solve poverty. One person will become poorer, the other will become less poor. The "real" loser is one who believes in zero sum thinking.

How to Become Successful by Competing with Yourself
I'm far from objective, having practiced and taught Wing Chun for more than 25 years; but from the martial arts I've been in contact with, WC excels at teaching physical and emotional awareness.

It certainly is not a workable solution, but given that the protests are about police abuses, perpetuating those abuses will only exacerbate the problem. The arguments might not seem relevant to you right now, but to the protesters they're fundamental to everything they stand for.

There is no easy fix for the problem, because any solution requires both the protesters and the police to come to the middle ground.

The police and federal agents need to show respect for the peaceful protests during the day and the protesters need to respect a reasonable curfew so police can do their work stopping rioters and arsonists at night.

Showing up in militarized uniforms and teargassing/shooting peaceful protestors doesn't bring us closer to that middle ground. Neither does destruction of property and defending rioters/arsonists.

Wouldn't a network analysis be able to detect a difference in the amount of traffic coming out of the phone? Measure with and without Instagram installed, active, background, and given or denied camera access. If it's capturing images in the background that data has to go somewhere. Even if it batches for sending later. Another way to find out is to feed it "interesting" images with faces and objects, then compare if the camera is pointed at a blank wall for the same amount of time. If the phone is significantly noisier then you can conclude it's actually processing the images and not just dumping them to the bitbucket.

The Silicon Valley angle: https://thewire.in/caste/cisco-caste-discrimination-silicon-...

Some pretty telling comments:

"The lawsuit reminded Raj, a former Cisco employee, of all the instances of casteism that he faced but did not document over the last 20 years at tech companies in America, because he never thought caste discrimination would be taken seriously. Raj is not his real name. Like most Dalit engineers that The Wire spoke to, he wishes to remain anonymous.
In the interest of career growth, he largely avoided working with Indians. “I did have one Indian-American boss, but since he did not grow up in India, he was very liberal and I had no problems with him,” says Raj.

Mohan, another Dalit techie, never experienced caste-based discrimination at work over the past 16 years in the US. This is because he never had an Indian boss. Those who did have Indian bosses found that revealing their views on caste could adversely impact their career, and sometimes even cost them their jobs."

How to create a minimal static website with Pelican
My suggestion as to why: police officers carrying guns doesn't need to pose a concern. I currently live in a country with a much lower police shooting and killing rate than the UK despite police routinely carrying firearms here.

Granted, the crime rate is also lower, but in any case an end result is that people here are less likely to be shot and/or killed by a cop despite their weaponry. Why should I bother disadvantaging the police in their ability to use a gun at least as a threat, or as a potential weapon, when some years have gone by in which no one here has been killed by a police officer's gun?

Furthermore, the distinction you draw between "community police" and "specialist officers" exists through a systematic process in the UK (creating separate training programs, etc.) but why should a country even bother with this process and the potential disadvantages it poses (e.g. delayed armed responses when needed) if it can handle arming ordinary officers without a fatal police shooting problem?

> Resources in Capitalism, however, are not directed toward people who are growing the network in socially useful or ways that sustain its overall health (including maintaining its diversity), but toward individual nodes or small clusters that pursue their own short term growth for growth’s sake at the expense of the network’s overall health. The externalities of pursuing such growth and the periodic crises it produces are almost never taken into account.

It seems like your point here is mostly just that capitalism, as currently constructed, is imperfect at directing resources towards productive activities, and I would agree with that. But I think it's extremely hard to argue with how successful capitalism has been at creating network growth. Global utility as measured (imperfectly) by GDP has grown tremendously since the introduction of market capitalism.

I suppose you could argue that capitalism achieved this 'by accident', but i'm not sure whether that matters. The fact is that capitalism has caused huge swathes of the world to be substantially better off than they were before, and promises to do the same for more as time moves forward. Other economic systems have failed to achieve similar kinds of growth, and absent that growth, they simply don't have the ability to raise people out of poverty, no matter how nice their intentions.

> Google is a good example of this because again, they observed a useful signal within a knowledge network and added extra utility in making it available to be easily leveraged by others. But from there, the prioritizing of their own growth deteriorated the network’s overall health, as observed in things like the explosion in various forms of SEO optimization and content mills, surveillance advertising and its malware, foreclosing of the web in services like AMP, and use of its market position to bully competitors and quash innovation independent of them.

Yes, Google has created various forms of waste. But you can't look at a single externality and indict a system with it in isolation. You need to look at the net change in utility. I think it's very hard to argue that Google's net impact on the world was not positive.

Thanks for the info. In that case I guess we can only infer that dance is better than repetitive exercise providing you are not banging out the same routines over and over. (In which case it is arguably repetitive exercise itself)

I added Reddit and some other sites to my uBlock blacklist because most of the time I would end up there unwillingly.

Now uBlock tells me that the site is locked, I realize what I'm doing and I close the tab. That muscle memory is now gone.

Sometimes duckduckgo returns me some useful reddit links and uBlock gives me the option to allow it temporally which is a few minutes. So even if I start messing around after a while it blocks me again.

I would implore you again to please find full length streams that start before the declaration of an unlawful assembly and watch them all the way through. A 1 minute clip that starts with an officer hitting someone is not giving you the full story.

I'm also not sure what the proposed solution is here. Should we have police that do nothing or simply no police at all? I don't see how that is workable in any situation, I don't want to strawman your position though so please explain what response police should have to destruction of private and public property or assaults upon their person.

> You build wide streets and invest less in public transport. What you get is traffic. Now, is it fair to blame drivers for it?

I think this is a bad analogy, traffic is to streets as protests are to freedom of assembly not to police presence. I don't agree with the implied argument that riot police cause riots. For one, truly authoritarian countries have much more brutal riot control tactics and generally have fewer riots. Iran is probably a good example. My guess would be unemployment would have a stronger correlation to number of riots.

Did both group contain similar amount of people who genuinely enjoyed the activity? An pretty old finding with physical exercise is that health benefits primarily only comes into effect in people who actually enjoy the activity. Two people doing the same mechanical physical motion get different health benefit if one enjoy it and the other disliked it (can't cite the exact study but remember findings in both human as well as animal studies, and the implied cause is that one trigger stress hormones while the other trigger growth).

It would not surprise me if the dance group did better than the fitness training simply because the dance members enjoyed dancing more than the fitness members enjoyed fitness training, through I might be biased as I am not one who enjoy fitness training at all.

The standard justification is that these firms provide market liquidity which lowers the cost of capital for all businesses, thus boosting economic growth. But I've never seen a rigorous quantitative analysis. How much growth do they actually cause in the real economy relative to the value they extract?

> Do you seriously not think that playing a sport requires control of your entire body? Have you ever tried to actively improve at a sport? Everything from basketball to golf is fine muscle control from the lowest to highest levels.

I want you to read this entire sentence, including the part after "except". I want you to tell me what you think that last clause means.

> It is not like playing a sport, except perhaps if you do it competitively

Do you think there is perhaps the slightest chance that they did not intend to say that "playing a sport does not require control of your entire body"?

Is there even a tiny possibility that they said that dancing non-competitively is not like playing a sport, perhaps because they are including competition in the definition of sport?

I am going to need a pretty good citation on that
Speaking of fact vs fiction in _Titanic_, https://www.econlib.org/the-anticapitalist-mentality/ the other week happened to mention:

"'On 14 April 1912, Benjamin Guggenheim, Solomon’s younger brother, found himself on board the Titanic, and, as the ship started sinking, he was one of those who helped women and children onto the lifeboats, withstanding the frenzy, and at times the brutality, of other male passengers. Then, when his steward was ordered to man one of the boats, Guggenheim took his leave, and asked him to tell his wife that ‘no woman was left on board because Ben Guggenheim was a coward’. And that was it. His words may have been a little less resonant, but it really doesn’t matter; he did the right, very difficult thing to do. And so, when a researcher for Cameron’s 1997 _Titanic_ unearthed the anecdote, he immediately brought it to the scriptwriters’ attention: what a scene. But he was flatly turned down: too unrealistic. The rich don’t die for abstract principles like cowardice and the like. And indeed, the film’s vaguely Guggenheim-like figure tries to force his way onto a lifeboat with a gun.'

Now, here come the interesting questions. When the scriptwriters did rule out the inclusion of this scene, did they do so because they thought the audience would consider it implausible? Because they themselves despised the rich so much that they did not want to concede even one of them the moral high ground? Because they feared their movie would be considered capitalist propaganda, if they included Ben Guggenheim as a hero?"
