I provided their charter. It seems like many people want to falsely over simplify the NSA mission into something different than what the document states.

In summary:

* NSA derives authority as a component agency under the DOD, a defense agency

* The primary mission is to collect signals intelligence and conduct information assurance

* perform as executive agency of operational security over inter-agency communications

* liaison with foreign governments to conduct sharing of classified materials for signals intelligence

There isn’t anything in the charter that specifically separates the NSA responsibilities or areas of operation from such of the FBI. The largest difference is that FBI is a law enforcement agency, as derived from the Department of Justice while the NSA is not. That means the NSA does not have fourth amendment interests which limits information sharing to the FBI. The Wikipedia page on the NSA documents a few scandals in this regard.

Or maybe our knowledge of the situation and the unknown virus was evolving? And the rate of asymptomatic cases, and the fact that they still spread the virus wasn't initially known/certain? Why the binary approach?
Using Traefik on Nomad
I used WPF a few times when it just came out. Really enjoyed it (definitely compared to what was available at the time). I think a lot of people felt the same way but then Microsoft really killed it by being ambiguous on its future and not giving it any love or attention. Microsoft was betting on their new Universal/Moderm/Metro UI with JS-or-something but AFAIK that never really became a mature technology that could be used for anything other than simple “fart button” style apps. Only recently have they realised what a great technology they have floundered and started giving it some love again, unfortunately only after most fans had already left the party.

Clearly if China was not being coercive/threatening they would declare themselves as an independent country. They operate as an independent country. They have their own military. The leader does not answer to China. They make effort away from china rather than closer. They are de facto independent. Do you think that position is held because of the consequences of messing with the status quo, or do you think it's there because it's truly believed? Do you think any Taiwanese citizens are sitting there plotting the running of Continental Taiwan?

>So, yeah. Until Taiwan could make up its mind about their national identity and cross-strait relationship with Mainland China, it's still an internal issue.

This statement isn't at all good faith. Clearly it's much more complex than that. You are saying the party line while ignoring any possibility of good faith argument otherwise. There is no invocation of the idea of what is morally right. There is no contemplation of what the Taiwanese people see as best for themselves.

What do you think would happen in Taiwan today if they rescinded their "right" to rule China?
If you were Taiwanese, what would you want to happen?
If you were Non Han Taiwanese, what would you want to happen?
How do you think Taiwanese children grow up learning about the China Taiwan situation?
What kind of culture do you think young Taiwanese are indoctrinated with?
How do you think a society that has freedom of speech considers its loss?
How do you think a society that has rule of law considers its loss?
What was the Taiwanese reaction to Hong Kong?
Why do Taiwanese keep buying weapons?
Is all Chinese trade to Taiwan a "gift"?
What types of punitive things would China do for being embarrassed by Taiwan's rejection?
Is the KMT/DPP of today, the same ruling "party" with the same "mindset" of yesteryear?
Did the KMT have to step back on their pro China stance to become viable?
Are the children of these "rebels" supposed to pay for the crimes of their parents?

Do you not see the slightest problem with the situation of holding a gun to someones head and then shouting "ARE YOU INDEPENDENT?!"

"Look, they said they're not independent, this is obviously an internal issue."

> How would you think that would affect those people's future?

That scenario makes no sense and there is insufficient information to judge it. It doesn't resonate with me. I wold probably be on one of the Islands.
OTOH, English speakers are happy to accept that you speak decent English with a relatively low bar. I can have a conference call with French, German, or Russian accented people, where nobody questions whether those people understand the content of the conversation.

Certain languages are so specific that as soon as someone says one wrong thing, everyone switches to... English. Happens all the time in every other language that I know anything in. Someone shows up who gets a der/die/das wrong, or they can't do a soft Danish D, or they muck up a tone, and everyone else looks at each other and reply in, of all things, foreign accented English.

> The “-ing” progressive form of present tense (“I am reading”) is unique to English from other European languages (in French “Je mange” can be translated as both “I eat” and “I am eating.”)

It isn’t clear from this thread or your comment history on why you feel burnt out. All I can gather is:

* you are a web developer technologist and open to continue working with those skills

Perhaps you could consider inventing a new technology/service for an existing business problem. This is the interest I am pursuing but I lack the business acumen to jump from software creation to market penetration.

The article shows neurotypical people should have the same concerns. Interogators who think they know how to spot lying are usually wrong, regardless of whether they are interviewing neurotypical people or people on the spectrum.

I'm not on the spectrum, but I was a rebellious kid who didn't like to take shit from teachers. My defiant and sarcastic reactions to accusations were often considered evidence that I'd done wrong when I was innocent.

It's not that lie-spotting heuristics work better for neurotypical people or worse for people on the spectrum. They don't work at all for anyone. We're all in the same boat.

Btw. it is not just about date and location. Many cameras also add the lens, aperture, exposure time and the like, which can be very useful for post-processing. I think most EXIF information isn't that sensitive.

And regarding the timestamp: it isn't that accurate after all, because the timezone is 'local' (whatever that means). So if you don't know where the picture has been taken or can't be sure that the device actually uses the local timezone (who changes the time on his DSLR when he travels to a different timezone?), you can only derive the date with certainty.

After all, whenever you post an image online you should be aware of the information you put out there. For example, if you are an American and in the background of the picture is the Eiffel Tower, a burglar doesn't have to be Sherlock Homes to guess that you are on vacation.

In addition, the article is about the information that is not explicitly encoded into the image (like EXIF), but implicitly reveals the sensor fingerprint, which you would not see even if you would take a look at every byte in the file, because you need to know what exactly to look for. If you know what too look for, you could theoretically see it even on the printed version of the picture ;-)

Surely there is a rather large gap between an NGO supporting programs that promote democracy and being an actual sock-puppet of George Soros?

The literally anti-democratic Myanmarese military regime shutting down any initiatives that promote forms of democracy makes perfect sense from their point of view.

Being able to point to Soros and such is convenient for a junta, because it makes it look as if democracy (or whatever 'western' value they don't like) is an import imposed on them rather than the grass-roots development it is.

For what it's worth Soros is quite a well-read guy, if you plan on dominating the world from behind the curtains you need some sort of intellectual cachet. Think he was a student of Popper at some point, and the university bearing his name is pretty well respected.

For comparison, the other multi-multi-billionaires are pretty plain when it comes to their standing on the "intelligentsia" scale. They're pretty good at making money, that's for sure (Soros is, too), but I don't see myself having hours-long conversations about Hobbes, Locke or Mandeville with the likes of Gates, Bezos or the two Google guys, while I'm pretty sure a guy like Soros has read very interesting books like Machiavelli's "Discourses on Livy" (and has actively learned from it) in his early age.

And if you want to control the world "from behind the curtains" you need your Hobbes, Locke and Machiavelli.

It's not "fix my code" when Safari doesn't even support the feature or it's simply broken - or most annoyingly, it works one day and breaks with an update. (See: webrtc stuff)
You might have known the rules, but most users don't. Plenty will come to me saying they've tried both Safari and Chrome and that it won't work in either, indicating they have no knowledge of webkit.

Android also randomly breaks things now and then, but I can at least direct users to Firefox, which never seems to have any problems.

Please understand redirecting users to another browser is only ever a last resort. If I can fix the code I will, but sometimes something just stops working and I can't even reproduce it.

This is actually a solution to a problem I've been looking at recently. My current experimental answer is using the terminal within Neovim, which is kind of a superset of this in some ways.

Those levels of total comp are mostly in stock. Stock compensation has a non-trivial level of luck in it. Join the company at just the right moment (knowable only in hindsight) when the stock is lower and then keep vesting as the stock skyrockets.

BTDT but I don't pretend it's my magnificent skills (although I'm good), it's just the luck of the draw with stock compensation. I'm just as good in other jobs where the stock performance has been lackluster.

How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger
> You don't hear much about Musk or Buffet spending large sums of money on changing society to align with their political ideology.

On that point you're wrong.

Buffett played a role in abortion being legal in the US and is financially the single largest individual promoter of abortion access & rights in the US (and world). He has done his fair share of meddling, whether one agrees with it or not (I'm pro-choice, but that's irrelevant to the point; Buffett is merely quiet about his meddling, whenever possible). It's fair to say that Buffett helped to dramatically change US society through direct political action. Buffett has poured several billion dollars into pro-choice groups, direct abortion funding, abortion political efforts, etc.

For example, from Vox [1]:

"This is how we’ve arrived at a point where Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, two of the biggest philanthropists in the world, are the leading providers of access to contraception worldwide, and Buffett is the leading provider of abortion access for poor women in the U.S."

"The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, named for the late wife of hedge fund billionaire Warren Buffett, is also the biggest funder of access to abortion for low-income women in the United States." [the foundation's money stems from Warren's wealth creation and it appears that Warren's efforts over the decades toward abortion were likely inspired partially by Susan; Buffett also has publicly stated that he greatly fears over-population]

"Bloomberg reports that Buffett has avoided publicity for his work on IUDs and access to birth control, because of fears that it’d damage his reputation in the investment world where he made his fortune. When he began his work on access to contraception, it was a taboo topic, and in many circles it still is."

In his biography, The Snowball, it's noted that Buffett and his partner Charlie Munger created a major abortion organization (later merged with Planned Parenthood), which assisted women in getting access to abortion services prior to Roe v. Wade. And then Munger (as a lawyer) and Buffett (financial backing) were both involved in supporting People v. Belous, which helped make Roe v. Wade possible.

Your examples of parachutes and masks are not examples of useful truths that don’t meet standards of scientific evidence. They are examples of useful truths that have not been tested through double blind randomized control experiments.

But they both have scientific evidence behind them, and by any reasonable definition of meeting standards of scientific evidence, they do. The efficacy of parachutes can be derived from first principles. We know parachutes slow descent. And we know the risk of injury and death caused by force of impact. We can calculate how much a parachute slows descent snd therefore reduces force of impact snd prevents death.

The benefits of wearing masks in reducing the spread of COVID and serious disease through COVID can similarly be derived from first principles but more importantly, there are many comparative population studies that meet the standard of scientific evidence.
Or it fits better than you think, and/or the margins for certain types of products are high enough to justify bidding for ads even when they fit only a tiny proportion of the time.

E.g. you may have a relationship with Linode, AWS and DO, but presumably all three would prefer you ditched one or two of the others for more spend with them.

And you may have done a kitchen replacement two years ago, but how many percent need to do repairs or changes subsequently, or are unhappy about choices they've made, and end up spending enough on high margin additional products for years to come? That you've proven yourself to be willing to invest in improvements recently might well make you more profitable to advertise to even though you've already made the biggest investment.

I'm sure many advertisers are bad at targeting, and so I'm sure some of these ads are metaphorically burning money. But I'm also sure - because I've seen that too - that sometimes seemingly totally counter-intuitive ads makes sense after all with access to the actual underlying numbers.
By type-driven dispatch do you mean dynamic dispatch on more than 1 parameter? Most statically typed languages do not have this and you have to write a bunch of boilerplate to get them to pretend that they do.
