Counterpoint: the attempted coup was gonna happen anyway, regardless of what Trump said.

I'm very weary of a country and a government in which we can be charged with "incitement" or even treason for suggesting to peacefully exercise our 1st amendment rights to dissent against it.

> But outside of that I'd much rather have corporations than bureaucrats handling such matters, because at least they can be incentivized to do the right thing. After all, corporations are ultimately voluntary entities formed and owned by average people, and when their conduct fails to match societal expectations, they lose customers and revenue, which is at least some incentive.

Those are some awfully large assumptions. We know that incentives are not trivial to structure, companies choose not to comply (think about how companies like Facebook just write fines off as a business expense), or actively attempt to interfere with the processes which manage those incentives.

Similarly, your definition of companies is unsupported by evidence. Few average people create them (it costs too much), and they're only completely voluntary in a few areas where entry costs are low, consolidation is uncommon, and the services are voluntary. In computing, for example, what percentage of people have a realistic choice other than deciding whether they prefer Apple to Google, or Apple to Microsoft?

A better approach is to stop assuming sweeping properties inherent to the sector and look at the incentive structures. Almost all organizations do exactly what they’re setup to do and need outside visibility and oversight to make sure that aligns with the larger needs of society. Both government agencies and companies produce bad results when the incentives don’t align — as we can see in this very case where it’s easy to ignore problems when the alternatives cost money.
I'm not sure we're on the same page here. You may not "invest" in a dollar with the expectation that that dollar will be worth more as 1 dollar than yesterday but people do "collect" money. Given a large enough collection, one can then use then use this as a backing store for other investment vehicles. The end result is the same: an aristocracy of old wealth at the top and the young clambering up their ever-taller ivory towers.
The fundamental problem with estimates is that the recipient believes that the estimate will always turn out to be true, which is obviously not correct.

So, why can't we express the upper bound in combination with uncertainty?

Example: "There is a 50% chance that the feature will be delivered within 1 month."

As time progresses confidence starts increasing and we get closer and closer to how much time it actually takes (be that 5 days, 5 months or 5 years). On the day the feature is completed, confidence is 100% because the real delivery date has become known.

This is very poor opsec advice. Robust audio watermarking is standard technology for many years now, and can be licensed from multiple vendors. If Zoom (or any other actor) cares enough to watermark their audio, you must assume that it may be hard to detect and remove.

Absurd, Asymmetry and 33 More Design Trends in 2021-2022
We just witnessed that you actually cant do any of those things (build your own platform that has real reach), there is no free market. And now with where we are, what difference does it actually make when you think about it? In both scenarios its a handful of people dictating the speech of billions, on the private side they’re not even elected.

The ideal scenario is that there is a free market of social media who can do whatever moderation they want. But we witnessed a serious blow to the idea thats even possible recently.

Lobbying is often painted as wholly negative but in a democratic system this is actually something important: It brings different points of views and interests to the attention of governments and lawmakers in order to inform the law-making and government processes.

It is not only the "super rich" who lobby and benefit. All advocacy groups trying to make voices heard are lobbying.

The key in a democracy is that lobbying be conducted legally and transparently.

Does distributed mean it’s replicated across machines? It was a bit hard to tell from the article. Can this be run outside kubernetes or is it meant to be part of a big set of infra?

One thing I’ve always wanted to build is an emulator (snes, etc.) that does real-time replication of data across the lan for both debugging and network play, is this low enough latency for that? The idea would be to help new emulator authors not have to build a debugger or test suite, if you could expose the controller interface and memory, a single debugger could be written that could be shared across new authors. All they would have to do is bind to a simple Api that exposes memory and a few commands to the library.
I remember reading his "How to win at College" when finishing graduate school; his first book made me feel smug because I was already doing all his recommendations.

I feel extremely blessed, as I have held a series of "dream jobs": 1) video game studio owner at age 17; 2) graphics researcher working for Mandelbrot on his research in '83; 3) Beta Tester for the original Macintosh; 4) 3D graphics researcher back when how to do 3D graphics was unsolved research; 5) video game console OS developer (3D0 & first PSX), 6) video game lead engineer (15 years), 7) I was one of the first people to get Live Interactive Video working on the Internet (Rotor Communications, '99), 8) VFX digital artist & developer for 9 major release feature films; 9) I pioneered and global patented Deep Fakes back in '08 (trying to commercialize that bankrupted me, I was trying to launch Personalized Advertising); and today 10) I'm lead developer of one of the leading facial recognition systems used by 3-lettered organizations world wide.

I get these positions by being irritatingly enthusiastic, technologically deep when first meeting the interviewers, and I try to get right into what their immediate problems to be solved and try to engage in that solution during my interviews. If given make work for evaluation, I simply refuse and ask them what problems they are actually facing: let's solve one of those. This gets the actual problem solvers engaged and I can judge them and they can judge me in our compatibility when problem solving. I tend to cinch the deal trying to get tje job by including 360 degree financial, long term maintenance, and a schedule for planned enhancements achieving expense reduction when executing whatever solution. I tend to minimize having an MBA, because my development achievements speak for themselves; but when I close with financial managers assessment of the company and act like the prospect of working there will be good for them, they tend make an offer. I never act like I need the job. I act like they need me, and without me they would face me working for their competition. Basically, I act like a force, and they can have me on their team of they want. Yes, this is arrogant; it is intentionally so. In many ways, I find I need to treat management like an asshole peer, and be an asshole right to them, and suddenly I'm their favorite guy. People are strange.
What's your question?
What's your point?

That mass surveillance doesn't exist and therefore the number of Christians are impractical to surveil?

Are you sure that the number is 200 million? Is that self-identified including "cultural" Christians who merely inherited a label?

Are you counting the person who got water sprinkled as a baby and never set foot in a Church?

Does your number lump the post-modern wing of Presbyterianism with Latin-mass Catholics?

If you know anything about Christianity you'd know that to reach 200 million you must be including all of the above. And, if you did lump them all together, then you don't really understand Christians.

Christians are quickly becoming the most discriminated class in America. By Christians I mean those coherent with Christian teaching. You might not like them, and you might agree with their persecution and so you might not like that the ennobled label of "victimhood" is rightly applied to them. But, nonetheless, Christians are increasingly under pressure in the West.

But, don't worry. There aren't that many of them. Certainly not 200 million.

If you had your own satellite
Here's a bizarre and probably a stupid question. But perhaps a fun thought experiment.

If you had access to a small satellite, what would you do with it?

We've managed to drop the price-point and expertise overhead required for having/operating 5kg-class satellite to a point where a somewhat wealthy software engineer with a laptop could have one (i.e. $250k all in, including launch).

It is not the market we're targeting by any means, but I've just realised the Venn diagram has crept in that direction. And I thought it might be worth thinking about … if just for fun. Anything beyond hobbyist astronomy/photography, kudos, etc?

>After all, nothing really changed in President Trump’s rhetoric, or in the wild substance of QAnon conspiracy theories

What "rhetoric"? A sitting politician complained for fraud. Such complaints are a dime a dozen in elections all around the world. Heck, that's what the other side complained about too, in 2016, and has a long history in US politics.

And if he "orchestrated" a walk-in into the Capitol (where nothing much happened, and politicians were up to business as usual the very same day), the other side has organized and lauded dozens of protests, including some with looting and even burning of police departments and areas of cities, throughout 4 years.

As a European, I see a lot of cant on both sides, and a lot of pearl clutching by the side that gets all the legitimacy offered by the mainstream media and the "polite society". In other words, it's partisanship 101.

Downvote freely, it's a partisan country anyway
Thanks for your answer, you probably know more than me about the subject :)

But yes, I understand that you might want to land closer to the beginning or the end of the runway and that's easier the longer the runway is.

And if your taxi back was 3Mi, yeah, it was a long runway. Now, in something like 5000ft/1500m runway, you'll just want to touch down early and hit the brakes as soon as possible (not that the VC-25 should be landing at anything that short in a non-emergency setting)
> quite a lot of Kurds will beg to differ?

Huh? Which Kurds? Istanbul Kurds? Black Sea Kurds? Eastern border Kurds? South-Eastern mountain Kurds? My neighborhood in Beşiktaş is 30% Kurd, and 70% of the neighborhood voted HDP (the Kurdish party), including my atheist, liberal family of scientists and engineers.

Kurds hate Tayipp too. That's why the HDP won 13% of the vote which finally gave them parliamentary representation in 2015, then again maintained the in the post-coup election.

I know Kurds in my neighborhood who RAN down to the bridge to fight the Gulenist tank drivers with their fists. They stood in the streets and screamed at the F-16s flying over the city all night long, and they throw rocks and shot at the black helicopter which hovered over Fulya looking for a place to land. When they realized the helicopter was going to try and land at the BJK youth football field in Dikilitaş, no less than 50 of them went to that field and started shooting at the helicopter, which eventually went down and landed in Besiktas stadium.

This isn't a Hollywood movie. The good guys cannot just snap their fingers, fire a few bullets, and win liberation.

Tell me exactly, why did Obama and Trump harbor Gülen? Did you know that the secretary of education, DeVos, has thrown fundraising events with Gülen, because he is a fellow billionaire who made his fortune running religious charter schools (Türk lisesli) throughout the world, scamming voucher programs, just like DeVos.
> Moral of the story: Power currupts.

I am not so certain of this any more. I believe that power shows those that are corrupt; the problem is that the set of corrupt men, and the set of those who wish for power, is virtually the same set.

There have very much been incorruptible men in history who were given great power, but in all cases that I know they did not seek it out, but rather were forced into it.
I think we have to be careful here because none of these countries which we have thus far mentioned have any ambitions of attaining the socialist crown you speak of. They like it the way it is: capitalist with strong protections for and investments (education, healthcare) in their capital producing peoples.

Serious question: do you have any friends or family who choose to live in rural areas?

There are a lot of people who enjoy the peace and quiet, wide open spaces, and tight community that is unique to life outside of urban areas. Some people like the lack of noise, air, and light pollution more than they like instacart.

There are people on this forum who live in rural areas and participate in the economy quite well, and have a higher standard of living than 98% of the world.

Although, even the idea that people are poorer in rural areas might not be correct. According to the 2015 ACS, poverty rates were higher in urban areas. https://www.census.gov/newsroom/blogs/random-samplings/2016/...
The whole thing is just horrible and leaves such a poor taste in the mouth. Threatening letters with "You are under investigation" in bright red capitals and 'inspectors' who heavily imply you need to let them in to look at your TV despite that not being a legal requirement. The BBC act like thugs.
So you're supposing they were just trying to see how far they could get into the Capitol for what purpose? Fun? Lore? A game?

Nobody else is contending that the Capital is a "round" of capture the flag. You just brought that up for some bizarre reason. The timing of this directly lines up with when they were working to count the electoral college votes. More than a few people were violent toward the cops, and nobody has any reason to believe that they wouldn't have killed some Democratic congresspeople or Pence if they had been able to find them. At least one person did kill a cop and a dozen other cops were injured.
Well, if you were going to use this to, say, make a decision about a medical procedure, sure. I don't think anyone is suggesting that you would change your mind about any medical procedure based on this, I just think it's interesting.
I wonder why this is so it or why it could be so on Android.

"Truly objective, unbiased source"

It's not possible to be an unbiased news reporter. The only thing we can wish for is reporting that wears its bias on its sleeve.

What is this "unbiased" reporting anyway? It can only mean that I happen to share the bias.

Any reporter who thinks their work is unbiased is a reporter who is unaware of their bias; which is much more dangerous than a reporter who is biased, and doesn't care who knows it.
> Some people say "I have nothing to hide, I don't care" which is essentialy ignoring basic human right and making this right worthless to you and very precious to others.

This doesn't make much sense, but I think I get the idea.

What most people mean when they say this is "the value I get out is worth more than the data I put in". And that's a perfectly valid view.
Comparing a deadly coup attempt and a direct attack against the representatives and the VP himself in the US capitol the day that the election results were certified by the Houses with random protests?
Which is why I would not call the current power system democratic either. But at least they had say over shares in harvest and communal land and the likes, whereas I have no such things today.
No, but it just raises valid questions regarding motivations. Civil servants are supposed to not be biased toward a particular political party. In practice, that may well not be the case, but questioning his appointment is fair enough. The Tory party has for many years attacked the BBC, using those attacks as a political tool. So people draw conclusions from the appointment of a prominent Tory donor to the post of DG.
I think the key to understanding the allure is by extending your line of reasoning even further.

Why play piano? There are plenty of recordings of people who play better than I ever will.

Why play chess? I will never be able to beat my computer anyway.

Why paint portraits? I will never be as good as Rembrandt, and my camera is infinitely better anyway.

I think the point of the activity is not "I will take the best picture of this plane/the moon that anyone has ever taken". Rather, it's "I will take the best picture that I ever took".
I absolutely believe the multiplier would be different in different places. The fact that the back-of-the-envelope calculation for the U.S. and Slovakia give similar answers, though, suggests that it may not be so different. But sure, definitely no reason to expect it so be exactly the same.
by that definition which country in the world is then a democracy today? I'm not being flippant and think your point is really important because it touches on the definition of what we even mean by "democracy", and using your yardstick beautifully illustrates that the only democracy possible would be a hypocrite one. To use an example of our time: we hide our crimes in the complexity of global supply chains and by compartmentalizing ...

Depends on the AKP supporters. Those who are barely literate, live in Asherates (villages which are run by often corrupt patriarchs and are told how to vote), and who go to school at imam-hatips? Probably not. The Turks who are educated in the conservative universities in Konya? You'd be surprised. AKP is basically the post-Bush GOP, but Muslim instead of Christian.

I'm not defending the AKP, but painting all of them as rednecks is a huge mistake.
I’ve been losing weight on the SNL diet (about 50kg, so far) — eat less/move more. Kicking the “sugar” habit is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. A few months back (just before the holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, all of the birthdays in my family), I got appendicitis. During recovery I was encouraged to eat & couldn’t exercise. I put on 7-8kg in a few weeks. Getting back off sugar onto a healthy diet has been awful. If that drug combo actually works ... I dunno; I’d pay a lot.
