There are around 65 million UK residents. Even if thousands pull their license fee it's not gonna move the needle that much. And if it did move the needle, I suspect the government would address the issue by enforcing the license fee more aggressively, or by doing the sensible thing and funding the BBC via the general fund.
BBB is killer and far superior to the Raspberry Pi IMO - if only we could hook a nerves compatible NIF into the BBB's real-time CPU...

There are several exceptions to the law[0]:

* The couple has just one child, who is handicapped or unable to work because of non-hereditary diseases.
* Both parents are only children themselves, and have just one child so far.

* The couple adopted their first child because one of them was diagnosed as infertile.

* The couple remarried but have only one child in total.

* The couple are ethnic minorities who moved to the city from provinces bordering other countries and were given permission from a high-ranking Family Planning office before they moved.

* The husband has brothers, but only one brother is able to give birth, and the others have promised not to adopt.

* The husband is a farmer who married a woman already with a daughter (this only if that husband pledges to care for the woman’s parents).

* The couple are rural farmers, in which one spouse is a handicapped soldier with an injury grade B or above or can no longer work.

* The couple are farmers from the deep mountains who only have a daughter, depend on farming and are poor.

* Another exception to the one child policy allowed families in rural areas to have another child if the first child was a girl, in hopes to have a boy as their second child.

>>Already trusting Open Source requires non technical people to trust others who can read the code to vouch for it.

That is not the the benefit of OpenSource. With open Source you have MORE technical people looking at the code, finding things, and reporting things than you do with Closed Source

There is also less risk to researchers when reporting things to Open Source than to Closed Source Companies who often respond not with "thanks for the info" but with "I am Lawyer from X Bad software vendor, we are reporting you to law enforcement and reserve the right to sue you if you tell anyone about your finding"

I shoot a lot of film; it's my main hobby. I have 50 film cameras here. The FP-100C this fellow writes about was very nice while it lasted, and I enjoyed shooting it.

The trick with expired films is that unless it was stored refrigerated or, better, frozen, it degrades. Some films degrade quickly, others slowly. I sometimes shoot 40-year-old Kodak Verichrome Pan b/w film and it usually looks like new. I've used other expired films that looked like crap. Some people like that degraded look but not me.

There are enough good films still produced that I've decided (except for that Verichrome Pan) to just shoot fresh stocks.
Yes, worked great for what I needed it for.
> How will your friends know its you calling if they dont recognise your number?

Apps could handle this sort of thing quite easily. The app itself could have its own ID (i.e. the username you use to sign into that service) and then that's what's presented to your friends and kept in their address books. You could change that whenever you wanted to as well (and then your friends would have to update their address books), but you wouldn't have to in order to change the other IDs, and that ID would only be used for that one service rather than allowing correlation between different services.

> To have a cellular network that allows random identifiers, you would need a system which accepts prepaid communication time

Not at all. If you wanted to change your IMEI, you would just have to give your carrier the new one, which could be an automated process. And your carrier could be a MVNO you trust not to share the correlation between your current IMEI and your account information with anyone. Meanwhile the towers then only have to know that that IMEI is authorized as a customer of that MVNO and send the bill to the MVNO.

A basic facility with lying is a fundamental social skill. Unless you intend for your children to be socially awkward / socially ineffective, lying is necessary.

The point, much like physical strength or any other sort of double-edged human ability, is to plug it into their broader moral framework, to guide when and for what purposes and to what degree.

Christmas is a primary method of indoctrinating people into scientific rationalism. The childhood imagination is fully engaged by this effort, unlike any other, to create the illusion of Santa Claus. As a kid it is a sort of bliss. Then as a sign of the transition to adulthood the growing child comes to realize there is no Santa. No time for mourning though, the growing youth is immediately brought into the fold and encouraged to help maintain the illusion for the younger children. The work is complete, the nature of fantasy and reality is established.

Google is doing that. Google is doing exactly that with AMP. Or with "in-page" results e.g. recent RapGenius lyrics scandal.
How does this differ from "Google giving extremist users' data to law enforcement"?

The article says:

> The users were often threatening violence or otherwise expressing extremist views, often associated with the far right.

Ok, so so since "extrem[ism]" is "often associated" with "the far right", therefore it makes it into the headline?

I'd like to see how they objectively decided that, or what they mean by "often associated" - associated by who? and why? Also; is this a causal association? i.e. extremists are often far right does not imply the far right are often extremist.
Your first few examples aren't lies, they're just expressions of the undocumented wide definition of "fine," "great," and "wonderful" in natural English language. "Fine" means "not dead or suffering from fatal problems," and "great" and "wonderful" both mean "anything better than average or my expectations." Your last two are closer to lies, though.

> "The point was that a government is the entity to protect, enable and allow free speech; a private entity is not."

This is true in the ideal case. In practice, governments don't always enable and protect free speech. Even the idea that governments should do this is fairly recent, and constantly under attack.

> "Google cannot enable free speech in China"

This is true. But Google can warn people when free speech is under attack. And some companies do have a habit of fighting for free speech.

In the end, there is no single entity that can and should bear the entire responsibility of protecting free speech; it's up to everybody.
Indeed. Child development researchers recommend that when your kid asks you a sensitive question, you should always reply "I cannot confirm or deny" if you want them to pursue in a career in Washington, DC or "I plead the fifth" if you expect them to go to law school.

> Memory issues with tombstones. Marking as deletion has a cost of maintaining them throughout the session.

That's not true, you don't need to keep them throughout the session. You can drop them as soon as you either synchronize with other clients or with the server, which can then synchronize with the clients, that's what conflict-free nature of CRDTs allows you to do. The only fundamental requirement is to keep track of changes when you are offline or out of sync until they are sent to others and even then you are supposed to merge those changes into fewer changes keeping disk and memory use down to a minimum.

> CRDTs were perfect for plain strings and arbitrary key/value pairs. But when it comes to schematic JSON that has semantic value CRDT was an added overhead.

Also not true. They were never perfect for plain strings, even incompatible semantically, but perfect for sets, counters, numbers, where basic commutative math is enough, a few other things and anything that combines those primitives into more complex ones, especially true for schematic structures, tables.

You should really try implementing CRDTs, especially OP-based, they change the way you think about keeping shared state in distributed systems.

> Since the software is primarily a cloud document editor, a central server is necessary even otherwise. So why not use the server for efficient version management and operation sequencing as well? Why chose CRDTs whose bulk of complexity comes from eliminating the need of a central system?

There is zero complexity in CRDTs that comes from eliminating the need of a central system, it's a completely different problem orthogonal to CRDTs. Central systems is where CRDTs are used the most actually.

Where Robocalls Hide: The House Next Door
If you're charismatic enough you can get away with saying how you really feel and you'll find that you make friends more quickly. I remember there was this time in the midst of a relationship ending and my father dying and after years of dealing with a painful medical condition I responded with "it's just another shitty day" with a rueful smile. Instant friends with the cafe worker. When things finally started to turn around for me and I said "things are great!" he was really happy for me.

It's a matter of reading the person and situation. Sometimes if the person asking the question is in a context where I can tell they don't want an honest answer I just say "oh, how are you?" I'd rather evade the question than to say "I'm fine" when things are shitty.
As a something I struggle to exist in a world of people doing that.

It seems that socializing is a very subtle anthropological game, where the only goal is to feel a bit close to human beings without feeling bad, threatened and able to make some noises like the other peers. The rest is useless if not counter productive. Aspie probably want to turn spin their neuron to feel the joy of thinking.. most people absolutely don't want to think (maybe a result of natural limits... you can die thinking for too long but being a follower ensure better outcomes ?)
Or common courtesy / "culture" rules. That said, people on the spectrum have trouble with phrases like "What's up" or "How are ya"; a quick answer like "Not much, you?" is in a lot of cases a lie so it doesn't come out as smoothly as cultural norms seem to expect, and a genuine answer is not something the asker expected, especially if it's about e.g. work or hobbies that the asker doesn't know much about, or if you have to assess your current mood / situation to describe how you are.
Just reports from other parents who regret not stopping it early on. Their children would make fantastic stories about who was to blame for their mistakes, the parents would laugh and let it go, but the behavior didn't stop and only got worse. I kept that in mind when my kids reached those ages and did the same.
>Why would you need to announce a plan to reduce your fleet to below 3,000 if it’s only “officially“ at 2,700? Is this a case of inconsistent propaganda?

That's the thing about lies.

At first glance is the perfect solution, you simply lie and the problem goes away.

The tricky part is when the lies start you add up and you need to keep track of it, and/or when the lie is easily observable.

I think this is a bit of both: they don't even know what they are keeping track of, and the observers see the lies.

Because this isn't the simple case of propaganda when you try to reframe things, this is just made up shit.

Now the true question is: WHY THE HELL DOES CHINA KEEP THIS NARRATIVE FILLED WITH SUCH OBVIOUS LIES?

The answer is: no one does anything about it, neither did anything about it for years! Because of the short term benefits for some western countries.

QAnon rode the pandemic to new heights
My first wife was a pathological liar. I'm bad at reading people and tend to think the best of people, so I remained naive (or willfully blind) to it for a long time. It came to a head when a sweet, mutual friend of ours asked an innocent question about what we were doing later in the day, and my (now ex-) wife gave a completely made up answer. It wasn't a white lie to get out of something, or a deflection to keep privacy, it was simply a pointless falsehood clearly produced on reflex.

She was good at keeping track of who she told what lie, so this was the first time I'd been the 3rd party observer to something I could definitively know she was lying about. I confronted her about it later privately, "<name> is our friend, why would you lie to her for no reason?" and she gave a dismissive non-answer.

That was the first loose thread that unraveled the whole sweater. It turned out she'd been lying to me and everyone close to her, about things big and small, for many years.

It's difficult for me to understand the psychology behind it, but I think it comes down to she feels alternately safer and superior when she knows some truth that someone else doesn't know. Her parents are estranged but stayed together, constantly low-key gas lighting each other. Maybe growing up in that environment is why she reflexively lies. Or maybe it's heritable and the lying leads to that kind of relationship. Either way, I wasn't going to live the same way and peaced out.

The parents haven't died yet.
Surprised no one is saying this. Every generation has to relearn what many have realized over the centuries: power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. The only way to avoid people "abusing" other people is to make that situation impossible (both parties having power that other cannot take). If you create a situation with the tools of power just sitting in the open, and only one party can use it, then you will have abuses.

This logic applies to governments, corporations, and ordinary people (think of the tyrannical managers we've all had at some point). Its an unchangeable facet of human nature. As long as the weapon/tool is on the table, and there are enough people, someone who is a bit more sociopathic, greedy, or has more emotional turmoil will pick it up and wield it against other people for their own gain.

For examples see: all of history whenever a person / civilization had any advantage over another person / civilization and sufficient time elapsed.

Its kinda crazy but everyone always thinks that some new power / invention that creates a one-sided situation like this will "only be used for good", imagining that the people using these tools will be benevolent (for all people who could use the tool, and all the time the tool exists).

Maybe. I do know a couple who live in SF who don't own a car but they sure use a lot of Ubers and do rentals.

More generally, and I'm probably just showing personal bias, but for me living in SF without the ability to just hop in a car and go to mountains etc. seems like it would be cutting myself off from much of what makes SF more interesting than comparably-sized cities.

That's right. The object of the game isn't alway "win the game", more often the object is to keep enough partners around to keep playing the game. Trust is a large component of having willing participants in your game - so don't lie!
Wouldn't be surprised if this is down to people trying to conform, to answer what is expected of them, or to try and answer what others have.

There was a study I saw the other day, may have been Explained on Netflix, where six people were asked a simple question ("which line is the same length as this one"); five were in on it and intentionally gave the wrong answer, the sixth, the actual person under test, would follow the 'consensus' answer in 75% of cases (after three or four others answered with the wrong answer). Herd behaviour is a thing and probably hard to correct for.
