> Feudal nobles of Europe resented and despised the merchant class even if they could not utterly suppress it. Wealthy commoners would have an influence, but holders of hereditary titles would still in many cases be considered above them legally.

This supports what I’m saying though. The reason the nobility who achieved their wealth through force wanted to suppress the rising merchant class was exactly because their power became threatened by the new wealthy class. Ultimately the nobility failed.

> There were strict theocracies where the priestly caste would hold sway. Notably, scholars were considered more prestigious in Jewish societies than businesspeople, which might have contributed to the intellectual strength of the nation that is obvious even now.

How did the church grow mighty? It wasn’t faith, it was money.

> In Soviet-like systems, real power was held by the nomenklatura consisting of high level apparatchiks, senior members of the Party.

Both Castro and Mao were sons of wealthy farmers. The Bolsheviks were funded by none other than the German Kaiser.

Sparta was a clear cut oligarchy. I’m not really sure why you being them up, as the very reason their financial class discouraged trade was because they reasoned it would weaken their power if other members of society saw any sort of wealth.

> and for economy of notation/ease of writing some mathematicians still use “<“ then instead of “≤”. In the rare cases they want to express strictly-less-than for a particular pair in the non-strict partial order, they can use the “less than but not equals” sign.

This is pure bullshit of the highest grade. Is is a perfect example of newspeak. "The symbols I use mean what I say they mean whenever I say so". It is gatekeeping. It is part of what makes math impenetrable for a lot of people. It is lazy. It is absurd. Such a lack of consistency is absurd for a rigorous field like math. It is a perfect example of my belief that mathematicians are abysmal linguists. I do not understand why mathematicians have this attitude towards their communication medium. If I could ask a genie for a wish, I would force the use of a compiler and a linter on all mathematicians. If your paper does not pass compilation and linting it gets automatically deleted. Bullshit!

I usually agree with Gary Marcus because I see hybrid approaches eventually getting us to AGI.

However, I think that deep learning models combined with knowledge graph systems are foundational, except not in a layered architecture, rather used interactivity to build better understanding of text, etc.

I have been experimenting with GPT-3 and Apple’s CoreML which both seem useful for building more complex systems.

Power analysis have opens a lot of doors for indirect attacks.

If they can predict which site you're on, they can also possibly detect an unsecured secure algorithm's state.

SSL or PGP had a similar "power starvation" attack: reducing the power to the power supply and watching power drainage allowed one to predict private keys.

The attack has been patched, then.
The contradiction you’ve identified is a phenomenon that’s pervasive in the West and I think it’s caused mainly by the ageing population. It is more evident in Italy because the population tends to be older, its employment rate lower and because of the prevalence, compared to other developed countries, of low added value jobs and economic activities. The latter 2 tend to produce a badly educated population (see the PIAAC or PISA results), which tends to have dumber ideas than a better educated one.

You can see similar developments in the UK (triple lock, Brexit, NI increases, ecc…), even though not as pathological, probably because its economic system is healthier than the Italian.

Italy would need millions of immigrants not much to pay pensions, but to reinvigorate the national debate and economy. Maybe if there were enough under-40s, pensions could be reduced and that money could be spent in more productive endeavours.

The list is of murdered environmental activists, not just global warming activists.

And while yes, this has been happening for decades, it seems important to note that this is the second year in a row that the counted murders have reached new records.

So I'm really not sure what your point is; it reads like a vague call to complacency.
>How are you supposed to fund that?

Extend the retirement age, raise taxes, offer less public services. Of course people won't vote for any of those so you are correct, there is a lot of cognitive dissonance going on.
Well Annalena could have been The candidate of choice exactly for those reasons, then ver(Baer)bock-ed it with all those unrelated stories... To your pensions point: there's a Swiss TV show called Arena where big politician names come into a debate with selected public as well. After the usual elderly senator bragged about saving the pension system for the next years, he was challenged by a young guy from the public "we're happy that you saved your own pension but how about ours in a few decades?" to which he had no answer, of course...
Just to share a little backstory on how this came about:

Back in 2019, I was doing some security work and had alot of fun—learning and earning bounties for exploits in e.g. OpenSSL, Fastmail and Google Chrome. This adversarial approach stayed with me, so when it came time to implement TigerBeetle’s consensus protocol, we thought it would be really cool if people could learn consensus by breaking a real implementation, because it’s a different way in, to engage with the subject matter. We’re usually taught the defensive “blue team” way, but this would be learning consensus the adversarial “red team” way.

So this is like the distributed systems equivalent of a security bug bounty program. If you can find a correctness bug that violates strict serializability or leads to data loss then you could earn a bounty of up to $3,000.

Consensus protocols are notoriously difficult to get right, but TigerBeetle also has a challenging storage fault model, where the consensus protocol needs to survive scenarios where even writes to disk might be a no-op, or where writes (or reads) might be misdirected and written to (or read from) the wrong disk sector.

But to make it really realistic, our team are also providing some cool “red team” tools: e.g. a deterministic fault injection fuzzing simulator that can do state checking of all state transitions, and then replay anything interesting verbatim over-and-over so you can apply your skill to figure it out.

No pressure! ;)
> people could probably buy just assets they like and expect an equivalent return to everyone else

That's pretty much true. Although risk and volatility does differ from asset to asset. So as a lone investor you can decide how much you are willing to risk to get better returns.
>The real question is : "Is environmental activism today more dangerous than it was yesterday".

Why would that be the "real question"? Just because all we have is the hammer of statistical analysis?

More people are getting killed, whether they are environmental activists is not that relevant.

What's relevant is that there is increased willingness to kill in favor of anti-environmnet interests.

>Why should the dangerosity of the "environmental activism" activity be computed differently, by only taking into consideration a numerator, and dismissing the denominator ?

It shouldn't be computed at all, the concern here is not to give people some dangerocity score to help them avoid being killed.

The concern is to stop the interests that kill -- that is, to stop the murders and the murderers, not to avoid them by having people not be environmental activists or be more careful about it.

(Same way we would want to reduce racist crime, not e.g. tell blacks to be more careful. We might also want that, but not as a first priority, as a treatment to the symptoms, not the cause).

> you can't even parse a multipart request without a 3rd party package

Of course you can (if you want to), how do you think all of those 3rd party packages are built in the first place? Using NodeJS APIs of course, that you can also use if you want to.

But why re-invent the wheel when someone already created it? Just make sure the library you include serves one purpose, has a light amount of code, actually does what you want it to and doesn't change their own API willy nilly. Following these guidelines (for any language ecosystem you use) leads to a lot less hassle when it comes to dependencies.

The article premise was not "Environmental Activists continue to be murdered at a rate higher than the general populace".

It instead implies that it is an increasing problem, without giving us the tools to evaluate the claim or understand the scope of the problem.

If you want to accept such claims as true, go ahead. That practice won't arm you to understand your world better, but will instead make you excitable and easily swayed.

I love it how it claims to be "in C++", yet I had to read a lot of the snippets to find anything that wasn't just C. Finally realized it uses default argument values in some functions, but that was all I could find in the time I wanted to spend.

Not a fault per se I guess, but I wonder why people do things like that. To me it'd be like using an aircraft carrier to go shopping, or something. And yes, I realize there's no real cost in requiring a C++ compiler but ignoring 99% (or whatever) of the language's capabilities, but it looks weird to me. :)

> Who else do you think is going around conveniently getting rid of activists that oppose profit and greed?

You're missing the point. People are murdered all the time for all sorts of reasons, including people who happen to be activists. The question is: are activists being murdered for their activism or for some other reason? Until you can demonstrate that, you simply don't have grounds to suspect megacorps or their agents are doing the murdering.

For example, the number of people who listen to Ed Sheeran music has risen enormously in the last decade. So has the number of Ed Sheeran listeners who were murdered. It doesn't follow that they were murdered because they have dubious taste in music—just that as the population of Sheeran fans grows so does the number of people in it being murdered. That might happen even if the overall murder rate was going down.

> But a lot of people are in fact opposed to indiscriminate immigration

Everybody is opposed to indiscriminate immigration, whatever that’s supposed to mean, otherwise we wouldn’t even have passports. The debate on immigration in the West is about foreign nationals living peacefully and contributing to the society of the country they moved to. There’s no debate about rapists crossing borders illegally, because nobody wants them and because they are a minuscule fraction of the population.
The US's are too, to be fair. The laws just suck to begin with, unlike most European countries'.

>For years, there was no new public debt in Germany. This gave citizens the reassuring feeling of living in a fiscally sound country — until the coronavirus pandemic came rolling over our world like a tsunami.

Ah yes, the ability to win a pointless money war with other nations lets us sleep soundly at night. We let other nations finance our government spending and then complain that they are the reckless ones.

Let's say globalization is dead and countries no longer trade with each other. If Germany wants to do an investment that has a future benefit it has to spend money today. When the government goes into debt it simply promises to pay later. By going into debt it has the ability to obtain future benefits.

The opposite position is also true. A government that does not go into debt has no ability to obtain future benefits. When you consider that a growing economy needs growing infrastructure investments by the public government then what the government is doing is simply slowing down the private sector for the sake of bean counting.

Fearing debt while simultaneously saving money is absurd. Money is debt, holding onto money keeps others in debt. The insistence that saving is morally good is simply wrong. It's just an investment like any other. The risk isn't gone, it's merely being managed for you. The fact that governments insure deposits is a huge distortion.

>I cannot imagine that being their best PR strategy

The "backend" 80% of the world doesn't work with PR strategies.

Nobody cares if an activist is murdered in Nigeria or Mexico etc., same way few care about journalists in those area. There will be some reports (if that), most will never even reach your preferred news outlets, and that's it.

And in more subtle areas (outside the developing world) they can always make it look like a "mysterious" homicide case, despite e.g. known threats, beatings, etc, that had been reported prior to the murder.

There are interests of billions to be made, from mega-corps, local lackeys, corrupt politicians and cops on their pockets, and so on.

Same way nobody cares for 10-100 million dollar bribes all too common in big construction, supply, procurement, finance, and so on, tenders. One in 100 might get some scrutiny (usually after the party doing it is out of power with no way to be re-elected, so those affected don't have any clout anymore).

>not to mention the fact that murdering your opposition attracts a lot of scrutiny, investigation, and which corp exec would want to risk going to jail for ordering a hit on an activist.

Lol. No exec "orders a hit" (except if it's some local representative or director and knows the ropes in that area).

Foreign execs convey a message that "this thing is an inpediment", "something must be done" and so on, in the vaguest (but clear) possible ways, and people with a lot to gain locally, paid for those deals, know how to take care of things, with several layers of indirection.

Same way sweatshops and child labour (all the way to small kids working on cobalt mines) have "plausible deniability" from industry execs, and several layers of contractors between them.
Call me old fashioned, but I’m of the opinion that every “smart contract” should come with a machine-checkable proof of correctness.
