I find the more important question to be "how do you remember what you read?". I think (at least in my case) remembering more of what I've read would be a better investment in time than reading more, or better directing my reading. I would love to hear tips people have.
Proposing either of those two as a lingua franca (irony aside), would be a sure fire way to start an enormous argument in the EU.

Surprisingly with the UK out of the EU; English is perhaps best placed to fill this role, as it is now a "neutral" language, with only the Irish and Maltese contingents who, broadly speaking, don't wield the same influence as France and Germany.

In these cases, I don't think that matters as much as the fact that the laws were not followed.

"Is there any evidence that me abiding by the speed limit would have been any safer?" is not a good defence to accusations of "you broke the speed limit".

I mean, there's a lot of reasons they might have been stealing food. To presume it must have been because they were so poor and not because they had delicious smelling food in their car and a near-guarantee that theft wouldn't be noticed is, imo, disingenuous

To say that the only reason someone steals food is for hunger is to say that nobody has ever stolen food for any reason other than hunger. Otherwise, there would necessarily be multiple reasons to steal food. I don't think that could possibly be true.
They were attempting to switch to a separate set of tanks, ultimately meant to sequester fuel used for landing. It was pressure in the landing-fuel tanks that was low after the switch.
Trump's comments were clearly regarding the protesters at the original rally (as he mentions the violence), not people who came later. Every protester on the right was a neo-Nazi or complicit in marching with neo-Nazis. The rally explicitly invited white nationalist and neo-Nazi speakers. The stated goals of the rally was to unify the American white nationalist movement.

> No one has control who shows up at these huge public demonstrations.

This demonstration was intended to be a white-supremacist, neo-Nazi demonstration. End of story. If you disagree, I encourage you to watch the Shaun video I linked for more information, or to read the linked Wikipedia and Vox articles.

https://www.vox.com/2019/4/26/18517980/trump-unite-the-right...

Trump praised these people. You may argue that he didn't mean to. But the fact is that Trump praised white supremacy, intentionally or unintentionally, and these white supremacists use that praise to justify the continuation of the movement. Even if Trump later condemned them, white supremacists interpret such a move as Trump merely "pretending" to condemn them.

This is the critical question, and it baffles me that people don't reflect on this a bit more. The "marketplace of ideas", whether it be through back-and-forth dialogue expressed through media platforms, or through likes or comment sections or follower amounts... there's no reason to believe that that process leads to the best ideas coming to the top.

So that can't and shouldn't be cited as a reason not to be concerned over the spread of misinformation.
I took MDMA with my now wife, pretty early in our relationship. It was the first time she was doing drugs, and I had had wonderful experiences with friends taking MDMA.

She went kind of crazy, yelling and running around in the hotel room we were staying. At some point she went on her knees and asked her to marry her, I said no so she started crying for a few seconds, then went into another thought. Sexually it got pretty wild also, things that she would never accept doing ever since. Unfortunately, I was unable to keep it up.
That sounds bananas to me, and I've literally never met a Bangladeshi (at least one whose ever lived in Bangladesh) express a view like that. The institutions and laws we inherited from the British are one of the few functioning parts of Bangladesh. When my parents were growing up, school instruction was still in English. That's proven to be a huge leg up in the global economy. And culturally, my mom still cherishes the education she received in classic American, British, and Russian literature.

What would you be left with if you "disentangled" Bangladesh from the "institutions" and "legal infrastructure" of British colonialism? What's left wouldn't be a society fit for modern people. And what's so good about what was there before the British, anyway? The Mughals were colonizers too. I have a Muslim last name despite being born thousands of miles away from the Middle East. How far back do we have to go?

There is a good essay by a Bangladeshi art historian on the subject: https://www.collegeart.org/pdf/programs/international/haque....

> Decolonization, as we call it, is rather a modern phenomenon that has been bubbling up since the late twentieth century. There are calls for decolonizing everything, art history included.

> In the postcolonial condition, the main challenge was to break this cycle or to create a process to rectify these influences. Indeed, such influences either denounced or distorted the precolonial ideas and elements of the society and culture. To many, this is what decolonization is, looking back to precolonial ideas.

> But, where to start? To reshape the curriculum of art education, the first thing needed is literature for the students. The problem is that formal art education was institutionalized here during the British period.

So, i'm kind of curious how it's reasonable a political party can ask for partisan censorship.

>YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki received a letter on Tuesday from four Democratic senators expressing “deep concern” over the spread of election misinformation on Google’s video platform. In the letter, senators Robert Menendez of New Jersey, Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, Gary Peters of Michigan and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota ask YouTube to commit to removing content with false or misleading information about the 2020 US presidential election and future political races, including the coming, pivotal Senate runoffs in Georgia.

>“We urge you to immediately remove all election outcome misinformation and take aggressive steps to implement prohibitions, as other social media companies have done, regarding outcomes in future elections,” the letter reads.

This isn't a company deciding, this is censorship urged by the government. I thought that kind of thing was illegal down there.

Not saying anything either way about the politics of the election, but isn't this blatant government censorship?
It depends on the goals of the launch. If they met their goal criteria, and sticking the landing wasn't one of the goals, then it's a success.
>Bill Clinton supported "Don't ask, don't tell" and the defense of marriage act. They were considered moderate in the 90s, but I would classify them as far right today.

Perfect example of why the question had to be asked.

Most people in America would not consider those positions to be far-right today. Most immigrants to the US today would also have those positions if asked. Everyone in my parents' generation still has those views, and my generation is split on the issue.

Don't ask don't tell and the Defense of Marriage act can coexist with a tolerant society. It's not "far-right" to believe that marriage is only between men and women and to still believe that LGBT people have the same rights as everyone else.

EDIT: Further data. Pew says that in 2019(!) 49% of black Americans did not support extending marriage to LGBT people. Are 49% of black Americans far-right? Obviously not, but intellectual circles in the US have moved so far to the left that this is a serious statement they would make. (https://www.pewforum.org/fact-sheet/changing-attitudes-on-ga...)

That's not the problem.

The problem is that if I export my social graph and share it with another company, it includes information about who my friends are -- at the very least, it shows that they are my friends. That violates their privacy. Maybe they did not want their relationship with me to be known outside the social network where they established it.

My nephew recently had a debacle where his food was not delivered at all--$80 worth of sushi.

He had to threaten to charge back before they refunded everything.
As many as are synced via iCloud. I currently can switch between iPhone, iPad, Mac (multiples), Macbooks (multiples), and Apple TV and also Apple Watch. I also have them paired with my gaming PC and some gaming consoles but those don't automatically switch.

There are tons of goals more important than the trusted status.

Losing of the status might happen sometimes later while the traffic interception/modification is what they can do right now. And it could be ordered by someone who do not care on those statuses at all.
Infinite growth isn't necessarily the concept. While it's somewhat related, there is a bit of a divergence here.

As I said in another comment, stocks will naturally rise at the very least due to inflation. Prices will go up because the value of the dollar goes up, and the companies perceived value is still roughly the same and grew with inflation.

If inflation is on average around 2%, then stocks ideally increase 2% year over year. This can happen to infinity. That's not the same as infinite growth, but it does hit a lot of the same concepts.

Add this to efficiencies over time, expansion of service offerings which might include capturing new verticals, companies have plenty of room for growth.

This is also why people invest into specific stocks depending on their objectives and risk tolerance. Investing in Apple isn't likely to make you a crap load of money today. But, it's fairly stable. It should outpace inflation so it's a good way to save money with a higher possible yield than say a high interest savings account.

You can also apply this to dividend stocks. Some people make their gains off constantly returning dividends even if the stock itself doesn't increase drastically year over year.

And then you factor in that a lot of companies don't have physical products today. So you can squeeze out even more gains because you can have a relatively fixed cost pricing model that scales well. This is more and more common today than 30 years ago.

As for bringing in an externality like climate change, in an ideal capitalistic situation you'd have companies that would pop up that address these issues thus creating value.

But, if we look at these types of existential threats (which I totally believe are real and matter, don't want to twist that at all) they essentially collapse our current economic system. Therefore, literally nothing matters in terms of buying or selling stocks. We will be facing a massive global crisis that overshadows economic gains to the point that the stock market doesn't matter, and fiat currency is largely diminished.
Facebook was smart, it wasn't just a social network, it also was an apps and games platform. Remember Farmville? And also many bands ended up putting their merch and tour dates up on FB because it was just so easy.

Then recently it grew a marketplace to take on craigslist and ebay, and added videos (making it a mini youtube or tiktok).

And let's not forget that FB groups are the go-to place for many hobbies. Into old cars? Or old sewing machines? You won't find an active forum for those things, or if you do, they're 1000x more hostile and trollish than FB's groups.

So my question is, where do you draw the line? Was FB marketplace anticompetitive because it pushed out craigslist?

I guess this whole thing is a fishing expedition to see if the justice department can find a smoking gun email where someone says, like, "Let's be anticompetitive with snapchat" or something...
Indeed, even if a time-based killswitch was embedded into current versions of Flash, it would make no sense for versions of Flash from before the whole "Flash is going out of style; Flash is deprecated; Flash is dead" arc to contain such a killswitch. Flash used to be one of Adobe's tent-poles!

Conveniently, given that any Flash content published as SWF was probably authored at least 10 years ago, you could very likely get away with using such an older version of Flash to view such sites.

Rather than tracking one down yourself, I'd suggest, for best compatibility, just using a VM of an OS that ships with an older version of Flash. For example, later releases of Windows XP.

Wrong on both counts, actually (I am a former tax lawyer, so your second example is right in my area of expertise). The exception for libel is in the First Amendment in the US and in many other countries. This is not just about the US.

And as for payroll taxes, they are still taxes, but they are not applied on all income. For example, they do not apply to capital gains, or to income above ~$140k. Also, social security is (at least in theory) a forced savings plan, and people who pay into it more over their career then receive more out when they retire.

Income taxes, on the other hand, are not capped at a certain level, and you never get money back later based on how much income tax you paid in the past.

There are times where it is silly to refer to them in the aggregate, but it is not "Doublethink" to talk about them separately. They are different in important respects.
Censorship usually involves removing one side's articles and reasoning and not even attempting to dispute it. True balance by taking account of both sides will include rebuttals of the sides against the other side. Both sides should be free to make their case and also make their rebuttals to the other side. Censorship likes to eliminate one side, so that rebuttal and dissent doesn't take place and isn't known. To what degree a piece of information makes one side's claims baseless is often up to interpretation as well. Our claims are often stronger in our own minds than when spoken out loud to others in reasoned discourse. When we accept any one arbiter as the single source of truth for what is true or fake, we have given up reasoned discourse and dissent. We should think for ourselves, and trust others to think for themselves. No one is more totalitarian than the person who thinks only he and his friends are worthy of thinking for and choosing for themselves and that they must protect others from themselves at all costs.

I was reading this post about the reasons of that:
" Many of us have deployed CentOS servers to production environments, trusting Red Hat’s promise that CentOS 8 would be supported through 2029.

I'm a big fan of rereading the same books that I found super helpful/useful, vs reading a lot

Used to do the 52 books in 52 weeks challenge for multiple years, until I felt I was just padding my stats with books that weren't useful

Then I saw a Naval tweet that was: "I would rather read the best 100 books over and over again until I absorb them rather than read all the books.”

And I adopted that strategy, which has been more useful for me
Politicians are not in step with the general electorate, they are instep with party elites and primary votes. The primaries tend to select most "ideologically" aligned candidates and by the time you're in the general election the politicians on both sides are far away from the median voter.
Many underestimate that great food must be served as soon as ready. Try to deliver a filet mignon, pasta, steak, burgers, really .. anything, by the time you get it, you will be chewing a shoe sole.

So far, the only thing that I can order and enjoy is : sushi.

Any other food just sucks! It is cold, not as juice as it should be, not enjoyable at all. Often, you will have to put it back in the oven and end up overcooking it.

Perhaps it is me, I am used to high standard/quality food.

I simple can't see DoorDash replacing restaurants.
Thank you for your time and such nice reply. Will do.
You cannot "quit" google when google is actively framing policy and the law for everybody.

You may say that so far google wasn't too bad, and I would agree. Regardless, I still find it concerning that they are able to concentrate that much unchecked power. "Don't be evil" was yesterday, "Don't be evil unless it hurts our margins too badly" is today, I think there is a possibility - but not a certainty of course - that tomorrow it might gonna be "Evil is quite alright if it helps our margins". And that's just google. Other companies with massive influence, like the Murdoch or Koch empires, haven't been as nice as google.
