To try to steelman the argument, I believe the main point can be expressed as follows;

1. China is trying to censor Wikimedia at the world stage for their political purposes

2. Some Social Justice related groups have similar outlooks towards using censorship against their opponents. If we don't stop them, we will have their preferred flavour of censorship imposed on us, with widespread suffering of non-conformers. This will follow the pattern of Communist China during the cultural revolution.

The reason for the deliberate vagueness is that the idea is overly dramatized and only tangentially related to the topic at hand.

We already have the censorship they complain about; it is social mores. Decent people don't use terms derogatory terms towards strangers in public places. They don't scrutinize the background of every Oxy patient in order to determine whether or not they deserve to die.

As for out groups being ostracized from society; well yes? I think that's generally the case everywhere. If you don't fit into the morals of a larger society, you aren't going to have a good time.

The implicit threat, though, is nonsense. Communist China in the 1960s was a complete top-down command society and Mao was using his cult of personality to try to regain influence (potentially influenced by the Gang of Four). Is there anyone in the US who actually has that kind of influence over all of society? If anything, the only person I know who claims influence over a portion of American Society is DJT - and he can't even convince his followers to get vaccinated without getting booed.

I don't really feel much sympathy for the argument.

Skills:
Languages: C, C++, Python, Java, TypeScript, PHP
Web: HTML, CSS, JS, React, Gatsby, Apache, Nginx, Spring
Database: MongoDB, MySQL
DevOps: AWS, Ansible, Jenkins, git

Why should you choose me:
1. I have experience converting designs to websites. If you want a pixel perfect website, I am your man.
2. I extensively document eveything I do.
3. I am an expert with web animations and interactions
4. I'll advise you with hosting the site with the cheapest available method.

Why should you not choose me:

3. You want me onsite for the job
I'm really confused about how and why this works. Why is it a good idea to keep really old requests unhandled? I feel like I must be missing something obvious.
Generally, ducted propellers are more efficient.

And yes, these blades are effectively rotating knives. Even small drone motors and propellers are very dangerous as the motors have a lot of power and high RPM, and the more high-end ones are made of CFK and have sharp edges. As these four do not only lift a drone, but a whole robot frame, I'd assume they'd easily cut through a finger.
I'm pretty sure you can play games on consoles without creating an account on some service, at least in last gen consoles. Did that change with the current gen?
When the government gives themselves power in an emergency, they most certainly are incentivized to keep finding new emergencies.

Frankly, the checks and balances on our government have completely failed.

How Drinking Beer Is in Our DNA: An Interview with Jessica Zinskie (2017)
I have read far too many ssh tunneling articles and all of them either forget about the bind address or just pretend that the only host that can be tunneled is localhost.

The fact is that ssh tunnels are bound to an interface on one side and the other can be any (reachable) host:port. So if example.com:1234 isn’t reachable from your host network, you can do a local port forward to example.com:1234 from an intermediary host that can reach example.com:1234
I find it rather ridiculous to view the inequities of society as a problem that should be solved by increasing productivity. I absolutely have a feeling that some of our biggest productivity gains have come on the backs of and sometimes maybe at the cost of worse quality of life in some parts of the world.

Extremely cheap labor improves productivity numbers.
> Say an electric car comes with a small sealed and fixed battery that gives up to say 100 miles of range.

> What am I missing?

A 100 mile battery is not small. Meaningful range extension would require a battery that is large and heavy and difficult to handle. Then you'd also need to quickly generate industry concensus on a shape and interface or there's too many variations and stocking becomes difficult.
I'm not sure that you understand the MFE framework proposal.

How do you think it's going to help in your example? It'll clearly favor the black kid in this hypothetical case, because he's rich and well connected. The white kid might have made it in on a sports scholarship maybe, but even that slim hope will be ripped away from him under this proposal.
Yes, I think this just confirms the Frankfurt cases. Suppose the Holocaust was fated to happen. It seems reasonable to say that Hitler carried some responsibility for it regardless, while Germans who fought the Nazi party did not.

But, I'm perhaps not a typical Compatibilist, as I think in a meaningful sense that we are more blameworthy the more deterministic we are [1].

Let's look at the details a little closer.

You download a QR code from the government. You are identified at this point and linked to your test results given your QR code.

Those open source clients are for BC only. Assuming the app store version matches those clients that ensures you are not being track in private businesses during a vaccine check.

This doesn't ensure the federal system is using the same clients or other provinces.

This doesn't ensure a vaccine passport check before boarding a train by a government official doesn't link your travel/location.

The only thing we are sure is this will protect tracking at the private level in BC if the business has airplane mode on and both have downloaded and built the client themselves.
Feature request: If I use an ilegal equation like y = sin(2x), then it shows a flat line. It would be nice to add an error icon or other indication that something is wrong.

Also, how is this parsing the equations? It may be nice to extend it to some usual cases like my equation.
> In First Contact Geordi tell Zefram Cochrane that 50 years after contact with the Vulcans, war, disease and poverty on Earth would be eliminated.

But he’s wrong based on Star Trek canon (and throughout this I am not referencing Discovery and concurrent series, which are charged with being a change of tone) except maybe on war, and even then only if you take “on Earth” to mean, for war, “between nations of Earth, since they are all subordinated to a single government” and not “physically occurring on Earth”.

> Picard tells Lilly in the same movie that money is no longer used

This may be true on Earth, which seems like it uses centralized (possibly exchangeable) centralized rationing rather than (or at least to an extent that most people need not, if they do not choose to, interact with) a money economy, though profit-seeking independent traders exist in Federation space at least in the TOS era, and Federation citizens have and spend various forms of money for various things throughout the various series.
It feels like it is. I'm torn on it. I don't like the removal of personal choice nor the potential for tracking.

I'm curious what the impact of anti-vaxxers is. I know they're more likely to catch and spread COVID, but can the constant low-grade COVID situation be blamed on them entirely or are they just exacerbating it and to what degree?

It really feels like we need to quantify that in order to make a call on how far we're willing to go to force compliance. If COVID would be largely gone without them, perhaps extreme measures are in order. If COVID is only 1% worse because of them, do we all want to make that sacrifice to force compliance?

The reality is likely somewhere in the middle and far more murky. I still think it's worth considering that there are a spectrum of options, and extraordinary measures should be justified by commensurate extraordinary circumstances.
This fits MIT's historical pattern of buckling under external pressure, like what happened to Aaron Swartz or Star Simpson. Different this time because of the cancel mob aspect, but not too surprising.

The timeframe and forum makes it fair to characterize this as his current, considered, strongly-held opinion. That has bearing on whether we consider this a situation of "we disinvited him because we don't want our PR handled by people currently advancing opinions contra political sensitive aspects of our university admissions policy" vs. "we disinvite everyone who made a cringeworthy analogy to the Third Reich" (Mounk's characterization).
For those of us supporting more than a few legacy apps, use the oldest version (7 in our case) because then there's less chance of things going wrong (depends, of course, whether you bill per support call or a fixed annual fee).
Less dizziness but I find if I spend a lot of time playing a game or something I’ll feel moderately lightheaded and out of it after stopping.

> it won't end well

Per the article, it ended in 2008. Beyond that, there are probably dozens of embedded systems I interact with every day where I would choose performance over the level of security you're suggesting. Beyond even that, I lived through an era of multi-process machines before MMUs were ubiquitous, and the main problem wasn't that malware had root access, it was that poorly written code would corrupt the memory of other processes and the OS, which this system solves.
That's my attempt to characterize it fairly, since I'm not a cryptographer and don't know how solid it is. Last I checked there were debates about that.
I saw this comment and thought this exactly described what my $previous_company did. Then, I saw the username :-)

Beeswax melts at about 65 degrees centigrade. Going higher than that discolours it and if you go very hot, when it sets it cracks. These things would seem unlikely to be an issue when using it more like paint.
What do you mean _was_?

If Microsoft was a person it would be a psychopath: befriend you for economic benefits and crush you when that is the more convenient option.

It's a private company who has actively pursued monopoly by buying its way into the educational system and strongarming any competition in the OEM off the shelf OS market, literally making it damn near impossible to avoid it.

It's goddamn scary how the public sector seems to believe Windows, Word or Excel are the only professional alternatives and are necessary for society to function. Why aren't we writing in LaTeX or R on Linux? Because a very powerful market force has bought the truth and will embrace or extinguish any sane opposition.

Fuck Microsoft and fuck Bill Gates. They are evil.

You're not the target for this.

If you just installed your first Linux distribution, don't know anything about the command line, you're not going to click on something called "Learn POSIX shell...".
I found that never saying no, but always responding with a list of what would be necessary in order to accomplish something, will connect a lot better than negativity.

Contrast:
"We need this by January." "No."

with,

"We need this by January." "Let's discuss the hiring process for the new team members we're going to need to accomplish that."

Then they will either say "no" (what you were going for all along), or they will say "yes" and give you more resources.

It is really quite rare to be asked for something that is truly impossible, usually it is merely impossible within the organizational boundaries you're used to working within. Also, people hate being told no but love saying it, so if you want a "no," you need to work out how it's going to be them saying it.
but they can only do that if people still engage with the company.

TV only has high esteem because it is seem as a "verified" medium, ie its had some level of fact checking. (whether thats true or not is another matter.)

If you undermind an entire new medium by abusing people's avatars to sell shit, it will sink the entire medium, unless the platform offers something compelling enough to overcome the stink.
Given that the OP was has been flagged into oblivion, I can only guess they were talking about parallelism between the Cultural Revolution in China and the cultural revolution happening right now in the USA and spilling all over several Western countries. One crucial difference is that in the West, the worst that can happen to you is getting fired. In Communist China, thousand were murdered in cruel ways. This hasn't happened in Western democracies and I very much doubt it would, in a foreseeable future - because the basic sets of values are different.
And the porn, is very different. That's all I'm going to say. (Wow)
Makes sense. I think my question was also: for high interest targets could they dedicate enough computing power to crack encryption most people consider secure enough. They don't have to crack everything, just one or two very important targets.

I guess we can't really know unless there are more leaks.

Certainly a market for home charging stations that can follow the spot price as some tariffs offer and charge up between midnight and 5am when the price per unit is cheaper due to less demand.

But yes, it could be mismanaged. Equally EV's do a great virtual storage grid that if done right would smooth things out nicely energy/demand production.

So whilst energy production important, being able to store that and use off-peak produced energy to come ontop during peak times is always one area that can never get enough love.

I do for-see some interesting tariffs and business models and the lines between car maker and energy storage will blur.

Heck in ten years time we will be using fusion over fission, at least I recall that being said for the last 20-30 years or so.
How do we know when its 'a lot' versus 'a little bit'?
So much. It's so frustrating to work under someone who fights reality.

Effective leaders may be enormously determined, but they can still factually assess the details of the situation in order to understand what needs to change in order to change reality. Where a "reality distortion field" becomes a problem is when it undermines the leaders ability to observe and orient to the situation.

At the best of times a leader is at risk of setting up a situation where they are told what they want to hear. A CEO can always find someone willing to tell them "yes". It requires self discipline to avoid this pitfall, and it also requires judgement - sometimes your staff do develop tunnel vision and another voice is required.

This is not easy. The article paints a good picture of the problem, but doesn't really offer much in the way of actionable solutions.
Flying with props takes constant energy (unlike gliding). Standing takes very little. This is a research platform that’s somewhere in between.
I'm not being an anti-trans culture warrior with this argument. My point is that this post is made less clear and harder to read by referring to Satoshi as 'they' whenever possible. I am being anti-political-correctness because it's ruining written and spoken English.

Satoshi is a masculine name, so it's reasonable to expect the author to use masculine singular pronouns. Even if Satoshi is a woman or a group of people, we can still refer to the pseudonym construct as 'he' because the construct is masculine.

It's needlessly confusing to use the singular 'they' in reference to a specific individual with a gendered name, especially when the whole point of the article is that Satoshi is this one man. And most other writing I find on Satoshi refers to him as a 'he' without a problem.

> Most of the dollars are only a abstract entry in a database, not a piece of paper.

More than that, the "dollars" created by the Fed are really reserve deposits which are given to financial institutions who have accounts with the Fed. Those reserves are only useable in the inter-bank system that the Fed runs and cannot enter the 'real' economy.

The "money" of the economy is created by private banks through loans out of thin air—no Fed required:

> In many market based systems such as the USA, the money supply is essentially privatized and controlled by private banks that compete to create loans which create deposits (money). Contrary to popular opinion, governments in such a system do not directly control the money supply nor do they create most of the money.

Most transactions are done with digital transfers by crediting and debiting accounts. Once your loan is approved your account is credited and *poof* money that you can use is created.

They can have the platform. We just don’t need to care about it.
Seems to be the default for me.

The manual page says, "By default, the local port is bound in accordance with the GatewayPorts setting."

I don't see GatewayPorts in any of the config files, so the binary (at least mine) is probably built to have this off by default. Which seems like a sensible setting.

EDIT: It can't hurt to be sure, though. Especially if you're running ssh commands on different computers or writing a script that runs ssh.

I don't think we are really disagreeing?

I think pre-1968 if there were fan theories by that point, they wouldn't have been so drawn to calling out some optimism that doesn't make sense.

But I really haven't watched enough Star Trek let alone caught up with fan theories to carry this further :).

Did George Takei get casted thinking "fuck this bullshit, I'm going to subtlety undermine the nonsense utopia with my acting?" Or was the pain and skepticism of cold war rhetoric more a subconscious war of vacillating between hope for the future, and skepticism that "United Space Ship" and "United States Ship" had enough distance between them?

I don't think many people were on that former level, say, pre-1968 at least.

Silicone absolutely loves silicone. If you pour silicone into a silicone mould you end up with one piece of silicone — which now includes the mould. So a barrier is absolutely essential.
All forms of taxation and governance are subject to your same vague unfounded "concern" of 100%-embezzlement; the only thing about an estate tax that's special or different in that regard is that it mitigates the formation of a hereditary aristocracy.

A well-managed trust fund is, by definition, a conservative investment portfolio that only distributes a fraction of its value, and only to a chosen few heirs. A government spends its tax dollars, with a significant portion already going to welfare. Even the closest equivalent usage of tax dollars, sovereign wealth funds, are managed for distribution to the citizenry as a whole. Your premise is bunk.
