They know who did it - two colonels and a general in the GRU. I suppose you can say it was circumstantial in that nobody caught them actually putting the poison on their doorknob, but it's pretty well accepted that 3 officers from Russian intelligence travelled to Salisbury using false identification on the day of the poisoning and then left the country. Unless you believe their explanation that they were there to "see the cathedral."

As far as I'm concerned, the Germans are about as trustworthy as Russia. They are currently closing the investigation around the Breitscheidplatz[1] terror attack, which has uncovered massive tampering with evidence and more open questions than answers. And let's not forget their history of false flag attacks.[2]

Most of you will likely disagree, based on their current public image vs. Russia's, but ask yourselves what the known facts are.

If they can make iPhones in India, they can certainly figure out how to build competitive, inexpensive phones to replace those made in China.

The problem is that the relationship between hypertension, antihypertensives, and Covid is going to be very nuanced and difficult to ascertain without large patient populations to study. One of the very unique aspects of the Covid pandemic is that the NPIs seem to be very effective at damping the spread, so much so that the pool of patients to study keeps moving from region to region every 60 days or so.
The point the site is making is that this is primarily for DOMESTIC travel within the United States. I'm not a strong proponent of this point of view, but many people are highly opposed to any kind of ID check for travel within the borders of the US.

Super easy to set up with Vault, it just hooks into the cubbyhole engine. The one-time-token is also the decryption key for the data store. I find it great for myself and the occasional email but also wouldn't really want to have others use it too much.
In certain domains, the trend has been to give up constant factors in order to increase programmer productivity (e.g., python pays a 10x slowdown but is batteries included).

So in that case I would use this data structure even if it weren't faster. I can't count the number of times I have had to mess with inserting negative priorities into a min heap to create a max heap! We should just have one data structure that does both.

(though taking this idea to the logical extreme means we should just use Order Statistic Tree for everything since it not only gives you log(n) min/max, but also log(n) find kth and get rank of x)
> but I smell a weasel in the phrase 'crime rate', because law enforcement is discretionary and also/therefore racist

> This is why homicide rates are useful. For most cases, it is pretty obvious a crime of some sort occurred.

Tldr; homicide conviction rates are subject to other artifacts and can't support either side very well without additional data.

Law enforcement is discretionary not just in deciding what counts as a crime but in who they decide to investigate and other tactics employed. Not that this hugely affects any relative statistics, but the murder false imprisonment rate is estimated at 4-11%, and false imprisonment (as far as we can tell from subsequent DNA exhoneration and whatnot -- this might not be representative of all murders) disproportionately affects black people. Not that this necessarily says anything about broad crime racial statistics, but it could throw any direct comparisons off.

More importantly though, 30-40% of murders go unsolved, and it's probably not reasonable to assume that distribution to reflect the distribution of successfully convicted murders (if for no other reason than the race<->income correlation). That's such a huge monkey wrench in any comparative statistics that murder conviction rates without any additional information don't strongly support either side of things.

This reasoning is a classic example of "we must do something; this is something; therefor, we must do it."

You identify a danger, but do not tie the 'solution' of ID to how it mitigates the danger, what the tradeoffs are, and why it is a superior solution to other options.

It's generally considered useful to actually look at how a thing works before disparaging it counter-factually.
At work, you're by and large subject to the laws of the country, not a mix of arbitrary "policy" dreamed up to keep administrators out of trouble and the law of the strongest and most violent.

For example: If you are assaulted on work grounds, you have a right to self-defense which will be respected by the police, who will show up, as opposed to being punished the exact same as the person who committed the assault by a school administrator who has decided that Zero Tolerance/Fight-Free Schools means everyone who is involved in an altercation is automatically equally guilty.

> I think we need more classes specifically around teaching coping skills and learning how to interact with others.

This is a good thought, but it runs up against the fact it would involve teaching students to stand up to arbitrary and capricious authority, which is the strategy a number of teachers use to maintain class order. Being able to cope and interact with the world necessarily entails being able to push back against the worst abuses of many school systems, religious organizations, and, yes, to some extent work environments.
These are drawn from a few separate categories that differ in interesting ways.

Words like teepee and squaw don't really qualify as loans in my eyes. They're native words, sure, but they are used exclusively in talking about the natives.

Chocolate and barbecue ultimately trace back to indigenous words, but they didn't come from indigenous languages. They came from Spanish. (Compare "adobe", the material common in the American Southwest -- there is a theory that this word can be traced back to Ancient Egyptian. Is it a loan from Ancient Egyptian? No.)

Animal terms are similar to the first category, but feel more like they're genuinely a part of the language. Skunks are called skunks in every context; tents are usually called tents, not teepees.

I don't think blanket penalties should apply to some situation as described by one party.

Eg, if the man's family member was in hospital and he was under a great deal of stress, he could have been speeding to the hospital, refused a traffic stop and so on. But this is a circumstance for the judge to decide on a case basis.

See death penalty for murder, not everyone convicted of murder is guilty and some have been executed by the state. I personally don't think it's worth the risk of executing an innocent person just to satisfy some vengeance or whatever justification we put on it.
It is well grounded in facts. 80 people in Nice were murdered by something everybody had access to. The most sophisticated attack was plane tickets and boxcutters.
FWIW, I agree, even though it seems to be an unpopular opinion. I don't have a strong opinion on that, and honestly I don't really care, but it looks way too weird. I mean, people mention Litvinenko and Skripal. With Litvinenko there really was no doubt with regards to both if he was assassinated and why he was assassinated. Whole story with Skripal was weird, it was a huge scandal which very much served UK (or anybody who would like to blame Russia for anything), and wasn't any use to Russia, all the "investigation" was really shady and nothing was really proven. But ok, given the fact Skripal was ex-GRU, and all such agencies have a specific "culture" (i.e. people there really don't like traitors), I'm willing to believe getting revenge was a personal thing for his ex-coworkers, possibly quite high in the government as well.

But I cannot imagine why would anyone do that to Navalny. First of (and this is very much arguable, but I'm just saying what is my opinion), I don't think he is any threat to Putin&friends. He has some supporters, but "opposition leader" is waay too generous, he isn't even treated very seriously by people who are against Putin, much less by Putin. So, some mundane harassment like police raids to his office... sure, why not? But assassinating him very publicly like that, when he wasn't even "in the news" (figuratively speaking) for some time? I have no idea, why would "the government" want it. He isn't anything new, he has no real power. And unlike Litvinenko or Skripal he isn't ex-GRU/FSB, so he isn't a "traitor" to any "interesting" agencies. Basically, I don't see why would his "enemies" (i.e. Putin&friends) even care about him.
Totally agree. Schools act as a social hub for kids K-12. Most kids spend a great deal of time socializing, in, around, and in activities related to their school.

Xinjiang is actually a better equivalent to Kashmir, not Hong Kong.

Depending on what you read, separatism in both places is either fuelled by fundamentalist ideologies or right for self determination. Kashmir is far more tricky though based on how the separatism has been fueled into an armed conflict by a neighbor.

To understand the sentiment in both places, you will need to read the history of both countries, and no it doesn't just start from 1940s.

Such an interesting topic to start with, and glad he extends it from the premise of burning books to things like misuse, access and privatization of knowledge.

The burning of Harry Potter books fascinated me growing up. Back when I was a teen it was for religious reasons. More recently it has also occurred for political and protest reasons directed at JK Rowling. It so happens that banning books and 'book burnings' may have the opposite effect and rather call added attention and possibly higher sales to the books at the subject of the ban/burn. I tend to frequent the 'banned book' section at bookstores such as 'The Strand', some of my favorite books are there.

Some great literature is only known to us because someone decided NOT to burn works such as Virgil's Aeneid and Dickinson's poems. I know it's not the point of this book in particular, but interesting nonetheless.

Thanks for the awareness, I'll be picking this up to read!
That is a good point to make. If the development data can lead to exfiltration of higher privacy data then I would define it as "more sensitive" and take that into consideration, this particularly applies to config information required for authentication.

France has had hundreds of years to try and eliminate regional languages, and yet there still are people speaking many of those languages, even if they only form a small minority. Language death is a very slow process.

I think you're also missing that the Chinese government's language policy is not driven by a single aim. Making the populace predictable and controllable are reasons for the central government to prefer a single language and culture, but trade with Mongolia and tourism where visitors get to experience living in traditional Mongolian yurts, listening to traditional Mongolian songs and riding horses in the traditional Mongolian way are strong economic incentives for the government of Inner Mongolia to retain the Mongolian language and culture.
I think you had a specific, but not unique, experience at school. Lots of people find it, as well as the rules and structure, an escape from their home life which is much worse than school could ever be.

But of course the example could just be a simplified one.

It's very difficult to objectively evaluate whether something is universally "worth it" or "hollow" (I'm using terms from the original comment). You have to place yourself as the ultimate judge of "long term" worth, which is a doomed proposition. You're entering the realm of philosophy (or religion, of course).

Why is long term always better than short term? Aren't there people who enjoy junk food, and in fact love it? Is going to the movies a wasteful act, since most movies don't give you long term enjoyment? Is playing videogames? Is having sex with a person you don't intend to marry something that will "leave you hollow"? Is casual sex worthless, or is it only a problem if you pay for it?

It is remarkable that Germans for the most part are unwilling to look for signs of corruption in their government. I recall the conversations that I've had with regular German working stiffs around 2012-2014, chatting about the new Berlin Airport and how that showed symptoms of government corruption. The good folks of Germany started admitting to the possibility of corruption only when the media in Germany began to investigate the situation and uncover problems.

I'd rather have this than some underpaid, high school graduate who'd rather frisk all the pretty ladies that come by or racially profile others.

No, that is not at all what is said in the article. But, even so, it is a big deal that the government wants to track people simply for wishing to travel!

People already identify themselves, when they fly on planes. The article doesn't say that identification is illegal but that requiring automated tracking, based upon identification, is illegal. "The TSA signs (visible in full on this TSA video released in conjunction with today’s press release) include — typically for the TSA and DHS — no OMB Control Number or Paperwork Reduction Act notice, both of which are required for any collection of information by a Federal agency, regardless of whether the collection of information is optional or mandatory, and regardless of whether the information collected is retained."

When people capitulate to demands that have no legal basis, because they don't understand their rights or care to protect them, soon they won't have any rights.
