Democracy and the Rule of Law.
I spent my first year scrubbing the seed corpus to minimize the GiGo effect: https://www.johnwdefeo.com/articles/amazon-review-analysis - I also review all the pricing data manually to flag and discard outliers.

Not sure about why Anandtech stopped endurance testing, but I would assume cost cutting. I left the company in Sept. 2018 which was right after it was acquired by Future PLC. They're a frugal lot.
I think you misunderstand. The work that Einstein did on quantum mechanics was indeed "complimentary", i.e. provided for free as a courtesy. (Although it could be argued he actually got paid for it later with Nobel prize.)
Most users will not conclude from "sharing how nearby" people are, that someone could pinpoint exactly where they live by triangulating.

Unless Telegram does some extra steps to prevent exact locations (see other threads here), they should name it "share my location" instead of "show nearby users".
There's no ambiguity in definition - all countries todayare to some degree socialist as explained in the article.

What is the extent to which the State directly or indirectly touches GDP and shapes economic interactions between individuals and corporations? In the US that may be 30-40% and in France and Venezuela 60 and 80%, respectively.

In the US the government redistributes 20% and borrows another 5%. Add to that verticals overregulated by the Feds (energy, telco, healthcare) and you'll quickly hit 40%. If you are allowed to run a business but have to buy overpriced services (healthcare) you don't want, that greatly diminishes your supposed economic freedom.

Rule of Law doesn't help you because laws suck (and they suck because of Democracy, so no, Democracy combined with Rule of Law is why life now sucks in the West).

The article is completely misguided, of course. It doesn't matter if socialism retards innovation or improves "public" health. If an individual does not want to participate in it, then it's wrong and does not work for that person and they should be free to choose. It's as simple as that.

You can run a socialist community in the US (assuming you own land in a state where there's no land tax). You can't run a capitalist community in China or the EU.

Well, all I can say is that this does not map onto my experience at all. Indeed I was about to mention the debugger as one of the main feature advantages :) The claim that you need 800 lines to make a rest api is simply not true, unless you are talking about java6, raw servlet development, which noone does nowadays. With Spring, it's 4 lines counted (of course, not counting Spring itself and less than 10 lines of global configuration). Intellij covers a good 80% of the keybindings I need out of the box, and I customized a 10% on top of it. I need to reach the mouse for operation that I might need to do once a day or less. Otherwise, everything related to coding, refactoring, testing, coverage, configuration checks, running and debugging is completely covered. And I have not been touching xml or raw jdbc templates for literally years. I'm sorry you had a less than optimal experience, to develop experience in a platform sometimes is less about using it and more about dodging bullets :)
TIL! I just redeployed with these styles added. Should be live in a couple minutes. Thank you.

Because who the people are, who administer the prison system, and who are the objects of the prison system's rehabilitation program, matters. Humanity isn't a mass of identical copies. Certain traits, that might be highly conducive to effective rehabilitation, concentrate in certain regions of the world.

A smaller polity also tends to mean a much more accountable government which might be expected to be much more effective at implementing any policy.

>>Their GDP per capita is almost identical to the US.

Nominal per capita GDP is $5,000 higher.

The country also has a population that is 80X smaller. Smaller population size tends mean much smaller regional variations in socioeconomic conditions and fewer regions with the extreme conditions associated with high crime rates and pervasive criminal sub-cultures.

You are making a strawman. Companies are often following the law strictly or loosely as it suits them.

GitHub could have warned the company before blocking and/or blocked access only from Iran. It did neither.
Yeah. A few days ago I asked why was us demanding kyc/aml regulations from countries when in us itself its easy to set up an anonymous corporation because laws. Its supposed to protect people from doing transactions and getting your "privacy violated".
what are you suggesting?

that a company should not keep track of their individual sales? just some sort of large running grand total?

or perhaps some sort of anonymized database where they can see that stuff was sold, but not to who?

surely you can see the flaws here.

AFAIK it can in fact be derived through Gleason's Theorem under the assumption of noncontextuality, so I don't think it's fair to say that nobody can derive the Born rule without assuming it (many people have issues with noncontextuality but that's very much a philosophical thing). The thing you have to demonstrate is that a probability measure actually connects to physical observables in some way, and this is the part that is difficult (and as far as I can tell MWI does nothing to resolve this conundrum).
Which can both be in the hands of the people or the dictator.

I personally dislike the "democracy" stamp as even within "democracies" there are forms of minority rule (looking at you UK).

> you can specify

It's nice to have the option of specifying such limits, but not all programs are batch jobs. For example, the correct CPU time cap for a HTTP server is infinity. Likewise, if that server were written as a recursive function then the correct stack size would be infinity:

def serve(request):
response = process(request)
socket.send(response)
serve(socket.receive())

Step 1: Define in such a way I am right.

Step 2: I am right.

When aggregating at the country level, data skews massively. China and the US are more like the EU than Norway or England.

Compare China (1,300 million) and Norway (5.5 million), or the US (350 million) and Singapore (5.6) and the data gets weird. Compare Connecticut (3.5) and Norway, Liechtenstein (0.038 mil) and The District of Columbia (0.6 mil), Beijing (25) and Australia (25), Guangxi (48) and Uganda (45), and the comparison is more reasonable.

NB The District of Columbia has the highest GDP PPP Per capita in the world - higher than tiny, I-can't-believe-its-not-money-laundering Liechtenstein and with ~20 times the population.
By local I mean local in the sense of special relativity. Stuff at a point in spacetime only affects stuff at that point and in its causal future. If you want to affect something somewhere else then you have to fire a light particle or whatever there.

Interference between different "branches" of the wavefunction is local if you're comparing the value of the two branches at the same point(s).

Edit: I should emphasise that interference is a completely local (in the sense I use it above) process in every interpretation of quantum mechanics I am aware of (even Copenhagen) generally the thing that makes quantum mechanics non-local in various interpretations is measurement.
I still cannot comprehend why we had to let it go this far. Why have all measures in California been completely voluntary this whole time? I can get a ticket if I jaywalk or leave my car parked somewhere for too long, but if I walk into a Walmart with no mask on and start yelling at everyone in the store potentially exposing dozens of people to covid I’ll just get politely escorted out with no penalties.

Something so ridiculously simple we could have started with is just ticketing for not wearing a mask in public. If we needed to ratchet it up further, ticketing gatherings with people outside the same household, which is obviously more difficult to enforce but just start with the ones that happen in public. Maybe do a “see something, say something” campaign to encourage people to report private gatherings they see in their neighborhoods and police come and break up gatherings and give tickets.

What we’ve been doing instead with all these ever-changing vague optional guidelines is just so stupid. Either leave everything open, or actually enforce the so-called “orders”.

Few months ago I had issue where I needed to transfer lots of files very quickly between two drives on windows server. All the available tools were slow or had some other issues. So I wrote go program which was about 50 lines or so. I know that I didn't cover like 99% of the edge cases that there are with file transfers but for my use case it was perfect. Still running strong to this date.

Additionally, it probably doesn't matter how the particular judge is placated, if that occurs - once he's in the states the US Government can essentially do as it pleases because who's going to stop them? A sternly worded letter might be sent, which will be filed, and that'll be the end of it is my guess.
This means that as a disgruntled employee I can simply visit Iran, log in my company Github account and boom!

I have now taken revenge on my whole company with minimal effort.
It works well in the video because in that context we are trying to estimate depth relatively to the camera.

In real life, we are trying to estimate depth relative to us. In order to fool our brains we need both a very low latency and a high frame-rate. That was one of the major hurdles to solve for VR as well, leading to John Carmack's famous complaint that he can ping across the Atlantic and back faster than he can send a pixel from his desktop to his screen[0][1].

Anyway, back to the video: basically, when comparing 3D movement relative to the camera our brains seem to be more "forgiving".

Nat Friedman, the CEO of Github has always been followed around by rumors of racism against dark skinned people.

Uber!

My friend dropped her phone in the Uber vehicle about 1.5 years ago, so we phoned Uber support whom insisted that we log into their website to log a support ticket... BUT, in order to log into their site, you have to enter the otp sent via sms.. to the phone that is in the car. Took the support lady a few attempts to understand that we cannot log in.

We rand her phone twice, within 10 minutes of realising the phone is missing. First time it rang, second time he switched the phone off.

Eventually we managed to talk to the driver, but he insisted that there was no phone in his car. We never got the phone back. When we asked Uber support again what can we do, they rambled stuff about drivers being Independent Contractors etc. I personally haven't used Uber since that day. She still uses Uber.

We couldn't track her phone because it took 6 days to do a sim swap, again, needing to receive an otp from Google to login to track the phone, but by then it was off.

I used Uber Eats earlier this year and an order took 2 hours (it was obvious the guy is using more than one delivery app), same story from Uber support. Haven't used it since.

> Why don't we have internet havens yet?

Companies pull tricks to optimize profits. Evading tax increases profit, but so does controlling the internet and sending blanket DMCA takedown requests instead of spending money on case-by-case review.

Heck, if the big companies wanted to avoid these things, they'd probably wouldn't be lobbying for these things.
Sounds a little bit like the soviet/russian(and maybe chinese derivative?) lock mechanism of their launch towers, but in reverse. Why not? Aren't the grid fins of russian origin, too? :-)
Freedom without equality is exploitation, equality without freedom is oppression.

And I agree, both of those things arise from democracy. But democracy depends on solidarity, education and participation.

There is no free lunch. When people don’t invest the time and effort to participate and even increase responsibility over time, then democracy is shallow and ineffective.

That means people need time. Time to think, learn, communicate and grow. Who has that kind of time? Which parts of society are providing it? Which are taking it away? Is it all personal responsibility?
"you can reset your password to the bank with that e-mail address" - wait, what? That's not plausible at least where I live, since (a) this would be massively abused to drain people's banking accounts and (b) the bank would be fully on the hook for compensating these losses (above an initial 50 eur risk IIRC), so none of the banks would even consider permitting a risk like that, since that would cost them so much money.

If you need to reset your bank credentials (not solely a password - some form of second factor is universally required), it can't happen electronically without involving the real world; either you come to a branch with proper ID or you get mailed them to your registered physical address.
While I intuitively like the statistical approach you mention, under it the Born rule holds only approximately, so it should be theoretically possible to observe entangled states which we have never done--i.e. it produces different predictions from the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, which means it's not strictly a different interpretation, but its own falsifiable theory. Like I said in another comment, if we ever do observe entangled states directly, people will jump on board one of these alternate explanations like lightning. But until we do, the question of why we never ever observe anything that doesn't look like collapse still needs mathematical justification.
Yeah. Where I live people are already getting picked up for being in a WhatsApp group, for sharing something on WhatsApp or even being a WhatsApp group admin. Do you know how they are caught? Their phone number is kyc compliant so its a cake walk.

While I use telegram, I use it to only communicate essential stuff with family. Same for signal and other stuff.

Matrix is interesting as it does not require a phone number...

> socialisms problems with totalitarianism.

I’d like to hint at capitalism’s problem with kleptocracy and authoritarianism.

All systems of government have the risk of being corrupted into distortions of their ideals. The problem with democratic capitalism is that it leads to suffering when it’s working as-intended, since no part of capitalism says that people should not suffer. At least democratic socialism is good when it’s working well.

If we go by most definitions of a distributed system, say Lamport’s, it still is. It’s networked, asynchronous, has group membership and replication. Provides liveness guarantees with a coordinator for requests and locks.
