I don't think it will ever be translated to English, but there's a masterpiece of alternate history fiction written by a Korean author Bok Geo-Il, In Search of Epitaph, where a failed assassination attempt by a Korean nationalist of Japanese Prime Minister (it succeeded in real history) started a chain reaction resulting in Japan's continued occupation of Korea and Koreans losing all their identity.

Not sure why I wrote this. Maybe one day it will be translated for wider audiences - one can dream.
Yeah it's striking how this is not the majority opinion even amongst seniors. I'm mid career I still have to ask people very experienced why they always jump on the most long-winded complicated way to solve a problem, often simple enough to require very little.

There is still to this day the idea that we're supposed to plan to future like oracles or pad our resumes on the company's dime.
> fight trafficking

The message the cartel is sending to those who are trying to do exactly this seems like a strong deterrent.

Not saying it's a bad idea. But there is ample evidence of police not being paid enough and accepting "bribes" (I use quotes here because I think the negative connotation is unfair, somewhat, when a lot of this happens simply because they don't make enough in the first place - it's a different moral worldview when you're trying to support your family), so I don't know if it would be easy to stop them from being "corrupted", or "paid off", especially if the service is compulsory.

I think in general, the issue is super complicated, and if there were a simple panacea or idea, it would have been tried by now. I honestly don't know what can be done to stop the cartels with the amount of economic clout they have and how entrenched they are in all aspects of society.

There's a great line in Narcos (apologies for using a show, but I really think it's a very applicable line); a colonel was asked what he needed to stop Escobar, and he said "Incorruptible men".

Incorruptible men are very hard to come by. Incorruptible men who don't fear their families being slaughtered are probably even harder to come by.
> the best possible demonstration of the sport

That is not the raison d'etre of Pro Sports organizations, from their perspective. The partial appearance of that idea is useful, but entertainment industry-driven profit is the central goal.

That is why pro sports can and do make rule changes from time to time that are purely for the benefit of viewers and sponsors.
Because in the PRC, the government, legislature and military are all officially subordinate to a political organization. The WHO is a treaty organization, effectively above the laws of nations because it is an offshoot of a diplomatic forum.

HAP, available in Japan since 1970.

wow, just found this where they compared HAP to fluoride and found no difference: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41405-019-0026-8

I have novamin. I think it makes my teeth feel different. May be placebo.

A lot of people swear by HAP, novamin, etc. I suspect it all comes down to increased oral care and diligence though!
we get it. it’s just a scam.
Well, its a problem yeah. But its not a few bad apples. Police abuse people pretty systematically. Its no good having a police force that is basically unaccountable. Which is what we've got now. Also, police are called in to do things that really they shouldn't be, like resolving disputes between spouses, dealing with people having mental health issues, etc. And they carry guns all the time which just means that the chance of them using a gun in a casual encounter goes up massively.
I would not have thought the improvements would have been that significant (I'm old and ignorant).

Also the phrase "ente has an open architecture and source code that has been peer reviewed" that can be found on their website follows a dark pattern: hey, look we are open but not really.

I am very fond of her writings and her philosophies. What I get out of her writings is that one should strive in a 'selfish' manner to enact one's own will and become the best version of oneself as possible without harming others. There is enough room in the world for everyone to do the same simultaneously and in a properly organized free market economy, this is exactly how a prosperous society grows and thrives. There are some things which are out of date, and she doesn't really address, such as coal, environmental issues, and animal rights. I see these types of issues being related to 'do no harm to others'. But the basic concepts about moochers/looters denigrating competence and the destructive consequences of trying to force "public opinion", which is actually never public, but driven by a wanna-be authoritarian ideology, is as relevant today as it ever was in history. I would say that her books are explaining in the most straight forward way possible what we should be fighting against, and the primary forces on each side have hardly changed.
I am not them but I know a lot of people who are not motivated by money. I guess they need and want enough money to happily live and work in good conditions, but not more, and they do not seek to become the next Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos.
my goodness the only thing that I can think of is that people are going to get incredibly angry, if these histories get parsed accurately by the wider public.

I'm not saying the general public, only a wider range of people who are less susceptible to being spun probably is enough of the population to swing the ultimate public views.

What does this get you over simply attaching to an existing tmux session?

(I think) I am fairly good with speaking and writing persuasively, but there's something I find fundamentally wrong with having to explain how good a thing is, when I find it intrinsically obvious.

Maybe they should share their funds with volunteers who are essentially working for the benefit of "managers".... like you would get funding based on number of edits, age of accounts, quality of edits, if any reversals you had, on and on. Would that not convince people to contribute and also keep leeches out because the funding would be manually given out, not automated.
The EU project has always been a project rather paternalistically cultivated by US foreign operations, including intelligence operations, so I believe.

The article cares about whether total 'value' goes up.

Whether total value goes up or down (or stays the same), is an important question.

And, obviously, the winners and losers are not going to be identical. Especially for anything that involves fatalities or injuries.

I'm concerned by WMF's cancerous growth, but this particular initiative makes sense to me. Wikipedia already provides free APIs for everybody to use, and they work fine for typical users who want to grab a page or a hundred, but the Googles of the world are essentially scraping the entire site multiple times a day. This imposes a real cost on WMF, and it's a win-win for both sides if companies pay for support and get better service in return.

We've actually gotten some mileage out of being able to swap one Lua implementation for another. (To date, I think we've tried LuaJIT, Moonjit, and PUC Lua.) E.g., we still rely on Moonjit for PPC64le support, even though it's technically unmaintained.

I've definitely got a long list of gripes with Lua... but they're not really enough to take on the additional maintenance burden.

I'm not American so I'm not familiar with donations in general - I always felt it was better for society to build self-sustainable systems via tax and votes or companies to build self-sustainable products via investments and profits, rather than have some shady in between - useful enough for us to want to pay but useless enough for us not to want to pay for real.

It would be very hard to live without wikipedia, but I think this needs to die for something more profitable and sustainable to rise in its place, organized by people who make their money input not dependent on charity but a recognized social utility.

The phenomenon described in the linked article is mostly about coordination problems. Not so much about decisions that individuals could make.

Not trying to be rude, but as with most things, there are scales within the ranges of blindness and paralysis.

A lot of people assume blindness means absolutely no sight whatsoever, which isn't true, because quite a large number of legally blind people have eyes that detect some degree of light. Temporary blinding from illness/injury exists. Flashing a bright light into someone's eyes, rendering them momentarily unable to see, is also a very valid and very old usage of "blind" in the English language. Being metaphorically dazzled by something and temporarily unable to respond ties in with the latter meaning and goes way back in its usage.

Paralysis has a similar scale. Many people assume total lack of movement, and "only" having one's lower body unable to move doesn't even immediately register as paralysis in the mental image a lot of people have. People with severe mental illnesses like depression and some forms of schizophrenia are rendered unable to move (it's not a desire to stay still). People can also be temporarily paralyzed through poison or mental shock (as in they literally, physically cannot move out of fear).

Words have range. Context makes their meaning precise. I really hate to bring this word in here, but denying someone with a mental illness the right to use a word is because it's not "real" enough compared to another person's struggle is "gatekeeping". Suggesting words they use to describe their illness is "insulting" is harmful to them.

I think this could very easily be demonstrated with the opposite outcome, but I think I just grow increasing tired over time of economic monetary benefit being the judge of positive outcome as an 'average,' rather than wider health and value with a measure of opportunity.
