Yet even there a flat pricing structure won't help adoption either.

There are places in poorer nations where $100/month is more than anybody can afford, and adoption will end up very low... Yet there are places in the USA where $100/month is a fairly low price and the network won't be able to cope with the demand - you would get more people online if you used carefully priced plans to create many different service levels (speeds, 'nighttime boost', etc) to optimally fill the infrastructure.

No economist would tell you to go for a flat pricing structure, no matter what your goal.

I think the only benefit is for ease of marketing/PR. You get more word of mouth sales if everyone knows both the price and service is fixed. Like the 99 cent hamburger.
There's a movie about the hacker: 23 – Nichts ist so wie es scheint.
"The US won't dare to start a war and will write off the loss."

This kind of thinking gave us the First World War.

If the US stops protecting Taiwan and allows China to take it by force, it can kiss their credibility worldwide goodbye, dismantling its entire network of allies built over decades in one fell swoop.

Not impossible, but world empires do not generally do such things unless they are very, very weakened.

But why require URL rewriting?
Yeah because their parents are better educated and pass on their values to their kids. So what?

I am frankly tired of this modern idea that is is somehow unfair if parents pass on their advantages to their kids. That is what nature has always been about. It even starts before people have kids - they seek out partners that maximize the potential for their kids. So if a woman chooses an intelligent (or even just rich) man as a father for her kids, it is somehow unfair because it gives the kids an advantage. Even trying to become attractive (for example to become rich) to make you a good choice for parent is somehow unfair? It should be obvious that all that is some Marxist bullshit, where individuals are not allowed to operate for their personal advantage anymore, and their bodies are being utilized (women are not allowed to choose attractive partners anymore, or have children for their own enjoyment. Everybody has to be dedicated to the benefit of society or "fairness").

Stephen Curry's father was a professional basketball player, and now Curry is one of the best Basketball players. Is that unfair? What would have been fair, to disallow his father to play basketball with his son, and instead mandate he gives free basketball lessons to poor kids?

Maybe it is unfair that Curry's father didn't push for him to become a lawyer or a doctor, "forcing" him into a career as a basketball player. Well his dad knew about the world of basketball, so that is where he was able to help his son. Why shouldn't he do that? I personally will see to it that my kids learn to code, because that is where I am able to help. I don't feel bad about it at all. In fact I wish there were other things I were able to help with, but there are not. Still, they can go out into the world and seek other teachers. Especially with the internet, a lot of things are free to learn. There even is a Masterclass by Stephen Curry about learning to play Basketball.
I don't know if I agree with that. The problems of ontologies described in the article are still around today.

Regardless, I thought it was an interesting read, and it put to words things I've observed but couldn't communicate.

Though I have to wonder, if tagging isn't in fact already becoming a dominant strategy for associations? Hashtags and web page sharing on social media posts are both technically and practically tagging systems with wide adoption in what now consititute the majority of the web for many people. There are of course hard categories within these systems, but those are more like a subset of the wider association graph model, not the whole thing.
Nice, thank you for making education an affordable option for people who don't have money for colleges.

My piece of a feedback. "Good data scientists are in huge demand" -- that's what everyone says. But I believe "good data scientists" are usually PhDs with a few years of experience.

I don't want to say your program isn't good enough. I think if you can educate someone to have an entry Data Science job in 6 months then it's a great success. By "entry DS job" I mean a real DS job: not Excel munging.

Your 6 months course seems like a bit of everything: which is fine because it's an entry course. But it's not much different from any other entry-level course. What differs you?
"If the US gets involved, it needs to pass Congress"

Theoretically, yes. Practically, the last war formally declared by Congress was in June 1942 against Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania. Since then, all the military conflicts that the US took part in were driven by the executive.
Yes. I think the categorical quantities->qualities jump is still there, or at least unexplained.

The notion that "violence is the way" is retard as fuck. Its not 1960, you don't throw molotov, threaten the Goverment and expect they will bow for you. The only thing you are doing is making the citizen's life miserable and force them to join your battle.

I know it's hard to believe but not everyone are so free care how can I insult the Goverment online everyday.
AFAIK most "truthers" don't subscribe to the missile theory when it comes to the towers (the Pentagon is a different story).

I sometimes wonder whether the more out there conspiracy theories are simply used to discredit any concern or skepticism of the official narrative by lumping those concerned with the crazies.

It doesn't really matter in the big picture. How would the US look in a month or six if we by war stopped all products from China today? The US would become unrecognisable. The economy would be so destroyed it would hardly be a victory no matter what casualties says on the two sides. Even if we nuked some of our own cities we would be better off than after winning a conventional war against China. No, a war against China is unwinnable if the US of today needs to be there post-war.

There are obviously legal and cultural variables allowing for the geography to be leveraged, as @iheartlife fairly pointed out.

But you still need something to leverage. Distance from population centers matters, trading routes matter, topography matters immensely as well.

HK is an I/O hub for one of the largest economies in the world, it doesn't get much better.

> In eg German, people generally differentiate between Medikamente and Drogen, but they still have a Drogerie which is essentially the same as a drug store.

To add a little additional context 'Drogerie' mostly sells hygiene products, supplements and the like. They only sell 'Medikamente' which are allowed to be sold over the counter in Germany, which basically is Aspirin and everything that is even more harmless. You will not find the kind of drugs you typically get in a CVS in a German Drogerie.

Every serious drug is only sold in what is called 'Apotheke' = pharmacy.

In Germany Apotheke (pharmacy) and Drogerie (drug store) are very different.
I think there is no real distinction between drug store and pharmacy in English, but I'm not sure. There is also Reformhaus which is pretty similar to a small Drogerie with a focus on healthy living.

EDIT: I checked my claim about the Aspirin and it seems I'm wrong. They are not even allowed to sell that. But it kind of reinforces my point: Drogerie doesn't really sell drugs in the sense the word is used in English.
Survive !== having a lot of money. UBI assures that all people are "survivable" w/o any effort. Therefore, there is no competition to survive in any case. Hence the contradiction.
I will not comment on the business, just the website. It is bad (not quite terrible). It is actually responsive, but it came from some cheap template.

I am not sure why is that. Does agencies charge way too much for their work, so they didn't want to pay 150K for website, but spent 150 instead. There should be a room in-between for this.

Tesla Must Now Report 'Autopilot' Crashes to the Government or Face Fines
Great comment, but I wouldn't throw out strength training that quickly.

Some people are more motivated to do strength exercises than cardio, for whatever reason. And there are types of strength training that get your heart rate up as well. I think the most important thing is to do not overdo it, or you'll just end up with one more thing that puts stress on your system.

The biggest benefit of cardio (in my opinion) is that there are many things that you can do outside. Not quite as simple with weight lifting for example, although possible.
> One should always assume the encryption is compromised.

In commercial applications, yes. In free-software that received audit and is built in a more-or-less reproducible manner, there is less concerns.

Like books, ironically.

As near as I can work out, their business model is now based on your being able to send back completely wrong or broken things they've sent you, so I stick to stuff where I've got the luxury of going through a cumbersome return process if things go terribly wrong.

My address has also been used as a target for a scam where, by sending unwanted goods to a real customer, a seller can fabricate a fake review that counts in their system as real. In one case it was a garbage light (shipped directly in its retail packaging so I could see what the thing was) that by a strange coincidence was the top-rated light on Amazon. Clearly an exploit that pays off.

I stopped (I think) that behavior by returning some unsolicited packages to sender, at the post office.

They don't but if you have very oily/not sensitive skin the L'Oreal Man Charcoal Cleanser is just short of being miraculous. It doesn't outright remove blackheads but everything that can be removed will be so it works a lot better than masks ime. I've never really cared enough to bother using any "beauty"/skin products but that one I've added to my routine and over time it just made blackheads disappear. Idk how l'Oreal came up with such a good formula when their other products are usually more gimmicky (or downright just bad and useless) according to my GF/dad/mom etc.

Though keep in mind I didn't have any huge, dried out aged blackhead to worry about, & those would be impossible to remove without some extraction.
I was using the other meaning of the phrase "quantum encrypted", to mean "encrypted with a complex but not peer reviewed scheme and slathered in enough snake oil to make the CEO hand over cash".
This is a really interesting definition of intelligence as building a model of the world:

Solving intelligence is a highly complex problem, in part because it is nearly impossible to get any significant number of people to agree about what intelligence actually means. We eliminate this dilemma by choosing to ignore any kind of consensus, instead defining it as “the ability to predict unknown information given known information”.

To put it more put it more simply, we define intelligence as a model of the world.

I went cold turkey on Amazon a few months back; the only thing I've kept is the TV subscription.

What I realised is that it was just a dependency because it was so easy to search for and buy stuff. Nowadays I'll buy from a smaller shop if I need something, but it's more likely that I think "do I actually need this?" and say "no."
By the same method, the probability that the opposition to the opposition will regain power for one point in the next 14 years is high.

If, at that point, any competitor has seen their development programme through, and you haven't, especially if they've also got some local manufacturing - your company is dead. These deadlines aren't moving backwards.

Yeah, I don't disagree. F.ex. planks are definitely both strength training plus cardio and they are my favourite cardio so far. Riding a bike I love as well but I am in the middle of a city and just biking to a big park that I love is by itself an entire workout session, quite the long and risky one at that (since you have to navigate traffic and people -- no bike lanes).

My message mostly is: "get your heart pumping". The sedentary lifestyle reduces the speed of the metabolism which is one of the worst things that can happen to our bodies. Thus we have to actively work against this negative phenomena.

How does one go about it is indeed a personal journey.
It doesn’t seem to me that there’s no reason for standing up for own freedom if the alternative is moving halfway across the world and abandoning beloved home for a country where, frankly, climate is worse, the chance of getting mugged is real, and where one would belong to a minority.

Hong Kong culture is in no small part traditional Chinese culture, which existed in that area for many years. The other part is the British cultural influence. Unfortunately, HK’s “parent entity” prior to British rule technically no longer exists; there is now a new communist country to the north. Becoming absorbed by it entails giving up valuable parts of HK’s unique culture (which includes freedom of speech); assimilating in the UK would mean giving up other parts of it. It is only natural to want neither of these outcomes.

People should be free to buy the land they want with the money that they've earned or otherwise legally acquired. It's just a basic principle. The principal below that principle, is that you have autonomy over your own body, and your own labor, and you have a choice as to how you apply. And you have a right to the fruits of your labor and creativity and entrepreneurship. And you can spend those fruits, and all the ways that are legal, including buying land, including buying expensive land in desirable places. And that kind of land is expensive. Not everybody can buy it.
I've been running Wordpress blogs and helping people with theirs for a long time, and simply never had that much maintenance to deal with. Sure, if you let them go nuts with plugins it will go wonky, so don't. If they install a plugin that breaks everything, uninstall it and help them figure out a better solution.

Wordpress out-of-the-box just works. Stick to the basics, and you'll be fine. And for the use case of OP, that is exactly what they seem to be talking about - a basic portfolio site. If you need more than the basics, that is when you leave Wordpress. It sounds like you might be getting into trouble because you are pushing Wordpress way past its core use case.
This is an argument for why this is a bigger problem, not a smaller one.
Bitcoin is technologically irrelevant at this point, since it has abandoned the idea of smart contracts.

My guess is it'll be eclipsed by the smart contract platforms - ETH, DOT and ALGO.

> the idea that peaceful protesting or rule-abiding political opposition is generally effective.

The protest itself is not effective, or at least doesn't change the current day order. But it signals an important opposition to a certain rule that a smart politician should pick up.

> The first mistake is failing to recognize that many governments (case in point) are not nearly as vulnerable to bad PR, so generating a bunch of sympathetic imagery (photos of student protestors getting gassed or whatever) might not actually be useful in swaying political outcomes.

You are wrong. China does care a lot for its image. More than you'd expect. China does give a bunch of money to improve its image (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_foreign_aid); certainly less than the US but it is sizable and also smarter. They are building popular stuff (like hospitals) in the middle of nowhere and making lots of fanfare about it as well as putting their flags. And no, these are not loans, these are grants (ie: free money!).

The coronavirus and current US-led media campaign did damage the Chinese reputation a lot. But here is where you might be lost: China doesn't really care about the educated western population and the western population in general.

> The second mistake is assuming that most (putatively) peaceful protests in the western world are actually the impetus for political change, and not just part of a legitimization strategy for political changes that were already in development before the protest started.

It's a process. Protests are a manifestation of discontent, and are a good indicator when no transparent voting mechanism is in place. It gives the US good leverage against China by weighing discontent. Sure, it makes no changes, but that's because we live in a distorted world where democracy for small countries is possible.

Democratically, independent and small countries like New Zealand are only possible today because of the world order the US has placed. Otherwise, there is nothing stopping China from walking to New Zealand and declaring it New China.

Anyone here using Joplin for note taking? I hate using proprietary apps/services for essential thins, and that's so far the best self-hosted and open source note application I found.

There are a few very simple features missing (which could totally be implemented via plugins)

2. A button for adding Notes on top of the stack, or below/above the current note.
Not sure what you're trying to say with this.

The Apollo program was run by NASA, who had lots of government employees, but at the same time all the hardware and much of the software was built by contractors. The Apollo program was behind schedule and over budget for most of the project period.

NASA originally estimated the cost to somewhere between 7 and 12 billion USD; NASA Administrator increased this to 20 billion USD in 1961, but it ended up costing more than 25 billion USD in 1973 dollars.
