There is no reason at all for an expert to act like an asshole, and being an expert should not mean that bad behaviour should be tolerated from them. In fact, experts should be held to a higher standard, because they are examples people look up to.
I highly agree with you. I remember back in my university days (now long ago). We'd be in chemistry class trying to copy from the professor's writing on the board, and he went so fast that he'd be erasing while you were still writing.

Spending that time on trying to actually understand (from the student's point) and on explaining more/better instead of writing (from the teacher's point) would have been immensely more useful.

Australia seems to be deeply corrupt. Last week a 21 year old YouTube editor for the Friendlyjordies channel was arrested by some sort of special anti terror unit after approaching the New South Wales Deputy Premier on the street, this was recorded and it’s shameful that a politician would have anyone arrested for simply approaching them. [1] [2]

Just so happens that Friendlyjordies have been exposing potential corruption links between the New South Wales Deputy Premier and corporations and donors with link to his political party. [3] [4]

If I may be so bold and share a relevant plug... As teachers (and parents of children affected by various versions of remote education last year), our team came up with https://sharetheboard.com

The idea is simple: our app identifies and digitizes handwritten content in real time, ignoring any obstacles in the way (like people). The result: $0 light board that you can use anywhere (e.g., with a piece of paper).

Digital annotations by viewers are coming in July, so it's as close to shared remote whiteboarding as you can get. And again, no new/dedicated hardware needed: not fancy cameras, not LED strips, not even whiteboards; just a laptop (and soon, a smartphone).

Looks like there are a lot of folks on this thread looking to solve similar problems. Would love some feedback; thanks in advance.

You cannot ask everyone to use only the unaccented latin alphabet for names when there are EU countries that use other alphabets, and accents. And on the other hand, you cannot ask people in the rest of the EU to learn cyrillic for when a Bulgarian citizen shows their pass.

It is cryptographically signed, so creating your own QR code that would be accepted by the apps would be difficult without the signing key.

Even ignoring that though: including both the ID and detail allows it to work both ways. In official situations (e.g. at a country border) you might be able to validate against a server, but the local nightclub probably doesn't have access to a validation server.
Most things don't have significant economies of scale beyond a fairly small country (maybe the size of England). The 3 biggest polluters are electricity&heat, agriculture and transport.

- Electricity and heat benefit from a bigger electricity network (e.g. to get more reliable solar and wind), but electrical grids don't necessarily follow borders. The US has about 3 grids, continental Europe has a grid spanning 24 countries. (in fact, there's almost no grids that span exactly one country [1])

- Agriculture doesn't hugely benefit from economies of scale beyond the regional level

- Transport benefits mostly from rail networks, which aren't really bound to borders

You can make a case that population density helps (most obvious in the case of transport, but it is really helpful for lots of things), and being an island makes electricity harder. But in the case of Australia, it has to be noted that the negative effect on electricity from being an island is somewhat lessened by their vast area, and the negative effect of low population density on transport emissions is somewhat lessened by most Australians actually living in pretty high density.

From what I gather, they manually mark sections as hard when the cars get stuck there, e.g. due to road work, and then their routing system chooses another route, e.g. one that avoids the left turn.

The video with the Waymo car getting stuck and taking off from the rescue team had an example of this.

I guess it makes perfect sense from a engineering perspective.

Carl Nassib Becomes First Active NFL Player to Come Out as Gay
Hey guys, OneStream TV is a streaming aggregator that allows you to have free streaming access on content on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, and many other streaming services, without subscribing to any service or paying money.

I know what you're thinking: "Is this legal?". Answer is yes, 100% legal :). Many streaming services provide free access (without requiring subscription) to a limited number of their content as part of their holistic marketing strategy, but these free content are randomly provided by streaming services because they're usually part of some complex promotional marketing strategy, which means it's hard for the average consumer to easily discover and access the content. So OneStream TV solves this problem programmatically by automatically monitoring, indexing, and aggregating all the free content being provided by all the major streaming services and combining them in one unified streaming dashboard.

I'm posting this here mainly to get you guys' feedback and reaction, so please let me know what you guys think, if you like it (any feature requests), or if you think I should shut it down :).
Agreed - one of the benefits of DARPA is they fund long-shots which once proven viable (or not) are then commercially developed.

This is a good outcome, the money wasn't 'wasted' since it spurred development in a particular area of interest to DARPA - advanced robotics.

I think that is the easy way to answer that question. Obviously the first "What if .." should be try to source from somewhere else, or perhaps have multiple supply chains. For instance cloth is a commodity, and if they know they can get the quality they need from multiple vendors on all 7 continents - they don't need to do much except perhaps validate the supply chain of some selected to ensure they don't source from the same place. But if they are using a particular mineral that is only available from one location, something else must obviously be done.

Just stockpiling is not really an answer as much as it's trying to just do the least amount of problem solving and thinking.

You seem to be misunderstanding what UBI is. This sounds more like a job guarantee, which is the opposite of UBI. The main point of UBI is to make sure nobody can ever be pressured into accepting such a job.

Those jobs hardly add any value to society (let alone economy). If you just hand out money instead, some people might find something more useful to do, or at least be better off for themselves. See also David Graeber's essay "On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs".
> Because of this, their opinions tend to be quite readable and and many times quite entertaining (regardless of your political persuasion, the late Antonin Scalia wrote some memorable opinions).

However they're too often terrible law, because they do mental backflips to support their desired political outcome.

Compare all of the "United States v. Windsor" opinions (both Kennedy's majority decision and the dissents from Scalia, Roberts and Alito) with Posner's decision in Baskin v Bogan + Wolf v Walker a year later.

The former are bad law. Windsor isn't in front of the court because Edith Windsor's injury hasn't been cured in the lower courts, or because the US government is seriously trying to undo that cure. It's politics. She got her money, that was all settled in a lower court much earlier. The US Supreme Court granted certiorari and then a majority cobbled together this vague, murky document solely for a political end. They even pretend not to really notice that the US government's side of the argument is conspicuously not being represented by said government.

But the dissents don't stop at pointing at this ridiculous charade, or even foreshadowing (Scalia talks about "waiting for the other shoe" to drop and sure enough the Obergefell was before that same court only a couple of years later) they offer equally ridiculous rationales for the opposing point of view. Scalia in particular seems ready to bend over backwards to imagine Congress has legitimate purpose in doing things its members explicitly tell the public are for an illegitimate purpose.

In contrast Posner's decision is wonderfully clear. For example, at one point he imagines a hypothetical tax on women (but not men), of just $2, and he says a government ought to show a "compelling reason" for such a tax or else it is discriminatory and must be struck even though $2 is hardly a grave injury - because the discrimination is the problem, not the weight of the tax, and it is the discrimination which must be assessed against any benefit of that discrimination. He explains his intent to examine the cases before him (which both basically go like this: "Gay marriage is illegal in our state because of children") on that basis, and of course on that basis they come up very short indeed.

Like Windsor the cases are on appeal, but the success of state attorneys here would actually have had a material impact, since the decisions they were appealing actually strike state laws that try to exclude gay marriage. Whether you could actually get married in those states depended (to some extent) on Posner's decision.

>Don't spend more than you make

I'm not trying to crash the party here but globally this is impossible. If someone spends less than they make, someone else spends more than they make. If everyone tries to spend less then everyone will be worse off.

Thus we need an institution that can run a deficit for all eternity. Call it "government".

There are other ways but right now that is just how the current system was built. There is no need to feel sad or worry. I personally worry more about idiots who want to keep the current system and avoid government deficits, now that is truly horrifying.
DAX30 is just way to small.

In September the number of companies will be increased to 40. But even then, when you compare it to popular US indices like to SP500 or even NASDAQ100 you can already see by the number of companies, that it is still tiny. The market cap of DAX30 is roughly 1 trillion $, while the SP500 has about 35 trillion $ in it.

In my mind if you want to invest into Germany, you could buy HDAX, which also includes MDAX and TECDAX and at least consists of about 100 companies. Unfortunately it is not at all popular.

Germany just has very little publicly traded capital, partly because of the privatly owned Mittelstand, sometimes resulting big corporations like Freudenberg, Bosch and others still being owned by a family or a foundation. Both of them would easily be included in the DAX.

The other problem of course is totally missing out on the whole IT thing.

Sure in that national level entities could in theory crack 1024 RSA. They would be stupid to tie up such a valuable resource for a year or so on breaking a single SSH connection. They would instead use it on something that got them thousands or even millions of connections.

>If it has 3072 or 4096-bit length, then you’re good. Less than that, you probably want to upgrade it.

There is zero evidence that anyone will ever break 2048 bit RSA short of some sort of huge breakthrough. I don't know where these claims are coming from...
Back in early 1980s, there was a huge confidence crisis when it was announced that Hong Kong was going to be handed over to China. It was feared that the Chinese Communists was going to practice socialism in the city. Apparently, back then, the Chinese Communists thought that Hong Kong was more useful as a place to experiment with capitalism and market economy (which they did adopt to some extent in the mainland, compare today's China with China in the 1970s, a lot of Hong Kong businessmen were consulted on how to build a market economy in China)

Anyway it was under this historical context that China proposed to invite foreign judges to sit in Hong Kong courts to boost the confidence of skeptics in the future of the region.

Fast forward to now, this is still a tool for the Hong Kong government, to silence critics that the judiciary is being pressured by Beijing in trying political cases. At least, if judges your country are involved in deciding appeal cases there, your government can't really say with a straight face that they're systematically persecuting political dissidents.

The UK has been trying to pull out their judges but from news reports I've read they're (the UK govt and judges) having a hard time agreeing to a coherent plan...

PS: the actual role they have is similar to a judge in a supreme court. They get a "vote" (out of usual 5) how on how to decide the case if invited to sit for a particular case.
> there is no superfluous data inside, so the QR code is not a privacy nightmare, as some have feared.

I strongly disagree. If the goal is to determine the COVID19 immunity status of a person on-site the only thing that should be contained is vaccination information. There is no need for full names, place of birth, issuer, targeted disease to be encoded in a QR-code that will be read by businesses. Especially since the information is presumably signed and verified by the official issuers anyway.

Any other personal details such as age can be checked via already existing IDs. The "targeted disease" field betrays function scope creep.
So much for the EU's moral high ground regarding privacy: needlessly sharing personal details for entering a cafe is not good privacy practice!
