It should be surprising that they defer to the cop. That's basically assuming that one is guilty without proving it. At a minimum, it should objectively provide reasonable doubt.

I have an experience where a trooper lied to the court twice and I have evidence to back it up. Nobody cares. I tried a the ACLU (bigger fish to fry), a complaint with the department (they counseled him and made the excuse that they have a lot of new guys at this station), I wrote my state representatives multiple times (no reply, except for one, which was a form letter not even applicable to my scenario), we tried the DA's office (they participated in multiple rights violations), we tried the DoJ for civil rights violations (no updates for about 6 months), we submitted complaints against a magistrate and a judge with the board of conduct (no updates and over 6 months), we submitted complaints against the ADAs who participated in incompetent or misconduct to the Bar (was told they only investigate prosecutors if the court formally determines there was prosecutorial misconduct), talked to an civil rights lawyer (was told it was a violation, but the courts don't care unless large monetary damages were involved), and talked to an investigative journalist (ran a story similar to this but said to keep him posted if I find anything explosive).

There's literally nobody to turn to. Almost every person involved in the system made mistakes or misconduct during the process (cop, 2/3 magistrates - 3rd was arrested for an unrelated matter, the judge, 2 ADAs, etc). I have absolutely zero faith in the system.
The problem isn't Toyota. It's that companies are so damn risk averse that they would rather have money in bank accounts rather than take a risk and keep producing too much even during a half year downturn.

That's got to be ~impossible by today's engineering. Hitting a specific place or even decaying at a specific time in 500 years is just never going to happen.

It'd have to be an active process, which means you need a machine that's still running in 500 years. Even then I bet it's still a hard problem. IIRC NASA aims for like, an ocean and they're happy if they hit the right one.

Because republicans don't need or care for free anonymous speech, or social networks, since we typically have large networks of real-in-life friends.

IMO the freakouts you saw by conservatives on social media censorship were mainly due to the closure of churches and other in-person social groups.

Honestly, I'll freely admit to feeling the same way, and frankly being wrong on wanting that much more regulation of Facebook et al (I do think we need some more regulation, just not a lot). The feeling of having your old social network (your church) shut by government fiat, forcing you onto platforms that want to censor you (It's not reasonable to teach your congregation how to use Tor and signal and Mastodon over a weekend), and then being censored, was a feeling no one should experience. Once the churches re-opened, everyone in my parish [1] deleted their facebook. Now we use alternate services, including some over Tor, and others for distant communication.

But more importantly, we just talk to each other. IMO, liberals don't understand this aspect of conservative information dispersion. My father, brother, mother, uncles and aunts keep long lists (in the several hundreds in some cases) of individuals who they broadcast messages to by various means... phone, text, ham radio, in person, etc.. It's like the mice network in the rescuers down under.

> “What was there to say? Civilization was like a mad dash that lasted five thousand years. Progress begot more progress; countless miracles gave birth to more miracles; humankind seemed to possess the power of gods; but in the end, the real power was wielded by time. Leaving behind a mark was tougher than creating a world. At the end of civilization, all they could do was the same thing they had done in the distant past, when humanity was but a babe: Carving words into stone.”

>...most right wingers would counter that democracy is not the foundational value of the United States, but rather, individual rights, that even democracy is subservient to the rights of the individual...

That's a good point, but consider the following:

Civil liberties don't exist in a vacuum -- their definitions arise out of conflict among members of society. I.e., the individual, alone in nature, has no need for them. One of the functions of a government is to protect those liberties, especially among those in the minority.

Without trusted elections and therefore a sound democracy, elected officials have no legitimacy. Without a legitimate claim to power, they become tyrants, and the state loses its moral authority to uphold one person's civil liberties against another's. There is no longer any social consensus backing those decisions.

Restart definitely does something different than a forced power cycle, if that's what you mean, but I believe shutdown and then boot up is nearly equivalent to restart. Are you saying it's not? Do you have more detail on the difference?
> Ubuntu actually does have telemetry. KDE does too.

Ahh, yes, Ubuntu and KDE = Linux. Very logical.

> It may not be quite the same in implementation as Microsoft's telemetry, but it is there.

There can be a world of difference between telemetry implementations. Debian's popcount, for instance, is opt-in - Windows' are mostly (if not all) opt-out. Ubuntu and KDE send their data to organizations that I trust - Windows do not. Ubuntu and KDE's telemetry remain off when I turn it off - Windows' does not. I know exactly what data KDE collects, because it's spelled out in that page you linked - I don't know what data Windows or Ubuntu collect.

Given the extreme variance in telemetry implementations, trying to falsely equivocate Windows and Linux telemetry is FUD.
We have some employees in Canada, so they're still in North America, but they work internationally.

a song i composed is being sent to the moon on an SD card or flash drive of some sort, i was told. Realistically if there is some faster-than-light mechanism, any interested alien or human could just "fast forward" and "rewind" through time to listen/watch our broadcasts from the appropriate distance from the original location.

Barring that, I'm guessing the equivalent of stone tablets, or the golden record are the best bet. I wouldn't place any bets on anything that requires magnetism or electricity to survive in open space for long enough to matter. Like, platter bit-flips due to radiation from outer space are a thing, and current leakage would eventually render something like SSDs unreadable.

So hard copy for earth, radio and hard copy for the universe?
> but surely nobody would confess to a crime they didn't commit.

And then we consider the concept of reduced sentences for a plea. A plea bargain can allow one to consider pleading guilty for a crime which was not committed, but is too costly or improbable to defend. So we do get people confessing things they didn't do.

Also we get the even further stage in that officers are allowed to lie about a reduced sentence being offered for a plea. And when it comes to trial the offer is no where to be found, but the confession remains.
We definitely won't have websites in 500 years
>Maybe the people who use a global matching platform are more interested in finding someone with specific skills / interests rather than someone who lives nearby.

Maybe there's a misunderstanding because there are no obvious screen shots but it says you can filter on location. Thus, a "global" matching platform becomes a local one. It's not is if one is endlessly scrolling 15000 profiles hoping for a local person to appear.

It's still a relative numbers game. Finding a nearby potential co-founder in a subset on a popular website such as YC is more likely than a local website such as lasvegas.craigslist.org

Firefox is extremely pedantic and opinionated browser.

It became popular due to extensions, that is, it attracted power users. Then the other guys pretty much reached feature parity while Firefox was busy tossing XUL out the window with all its plugins.

At about that time, they started trying to "protect" me by stopping me from doing useful stuff (just warn and let me bypass).

There was one version, which was too much. It was borderline impossible to connect to a site with a bad certificate.

Yeah, I get the security speech, but for my old router or printer, I just don't care, let me skip the check and just do it.

It's gotten slightly better in the past few years, but Chrome is way better for most use cases.
That’s true to some extent, but there are also several things that the WebKit team has not implemented due to concerns centered around privacy or loss of user control, which are often shared by Mozilla.

Apple should probably do more to keep up with web standards but they absolutely should not accept everything that Google tries to push through with Chrome. At this point, with Firefox marketshare sitting in the low single digit percentages, Apple with WebKit is the only meaningful opposition to Google and it would be incredibly damaging to lose that.
> I wouldn't really want to just give everybody a copy of that key.

Railroad are a regulated monopoly. DOT/FRA can mandate service & regulate rates (either for freight or using their track) to prevent one carrier from making movement impossible. If DOT/FRA do it right they'd economically incentivise the short haul.
As a person who wears glasses, I'm very excited for AR devices. A great input device* and incremental improvements in the battery tech and energy efficiency would make them ideal for on-the-go computing, reading, and note taking.

All of the internet hasn't been up for even 50 years, it's definitely interesting to consider. I think the likeliest way would be to leave an investment fund with % widthraw rate that would allow paying a developer every few years for some maintenance or needed migrations as well as enough to pay for the administration of all of this.

Otherwise you depend on friends or family to continue to do that for free across a few generations, which is a lot to trust.

I'm certain you're right that there are a lot of talented engineers with political philosophies all over the spectrum, many of whom I would whole-heartedly disagree with.

However, Trump and the folks in his immediate circle seem to drive away competence through a special combination of malice, selfishness, pettiness, projection, and short-sightedness that boggles the mind. Set aside ideology for a minute; it seems like not paying the bills is standard procedure for their organization, and I don't know who would stand for it regardless of their ideology.

It’s probably because they don’t think it would bring in enough revenue to be worth the effort. I don’t think it would either.
I think is basically the right idea, but a lot of the details are wrong.

For example, book archivists recommend against storing books in waterproof containers. https://www.sparefoot.com/self-storage/blog/3456-the-sparefo... "Be careful storing books in plastic containers. Because plastic containers form an air tight seal, any moisture residing inside your books will be trapped. If your books are not completely dry before placing them inside a plastic container for book storage, they may develop mold or mildew. If using plastic containers, make sure to insert silica gel packets to absorb moisture."

Instead, archivists recommend acid-free archival boxes. (Gaylord is a recommended brand.)

The other point is that you shouldn't just have one copy printed. Like any important data, you'll want to have backups.

At a minimum, if you have multiple children, giving one copy to each child is sensible; it would make sense for each person to have at least two copies, one to keep at home, and another to keep somewhere else that would hopefully remain safe.

If your document is suitable for public consumption, you could pay for a vanity press to make it available for publication, arranging to have copies stored in libraries. As of today, arranging to have your book archived in the Library of Congress is a reasonable approach to ensuring that some professional archivist will at least try to take care of your book.

(They'll also attempt to digitize your book, and archivists will attempt to care for the digital collection, but, as you noted, there's no way to be sure that any digital equipment will be working 500 years from now.)

But, if your thing is suitable for public consumption, consider another problem: will your great-grandchildren care to read what you wrote? Probably the only way to ensure that anyone will care to read your work is to be/become famous, and to write a successful work with millions of copies. (This also incidentally solves the archival problem: people care about protecting and preserving historically important documents.)
Perhaps congressional pay should be determined by cost of living then. Or maybe each state should set and fund compensation for their delegation (including aids). It’s at the point where random county supervisors in CA cam make more than a congressperson.

>They are also much more likely to distrust large organizations and bureaucracy, sometimes to an extreme extent that would be puzzling to Western and Northern Europeans.

As an English person I have to disagree, there's certainly a level of cynicism towards bureaucracy in much of our society. Just look at a lot of British comedy, The Thick of It, Yes Minister, The League of Gentlemen, swathes of Monty Python, The Office, and many other examples couldn't have come from a culture where there's genuine deference to institutions and authority.
Of course they are. Why wouldn't they be free to negotiate? Of course if you have few skills that are in demand, you are in a worse negotiating position compared to people who are in demand. You can try to acquire skills that are in demand, though.
10-year-old solar panels are already deteriorating, and producing diminished output.

All these technological (digital) solutions are pissing in the wind; digital technology has lasted just 50 years so far, and people will discard it in an instant when something better comes along.

But think of all the websites! Yeah, OK. They're nearly all going to be gone in a decade or two.

Conserving bits has already proved to be difficult. How would you set about conserving an 8" floppy disk you found in your Dad's belongings when he died? Yeah, I know, you could probably source an antique 8" floppy drive. But 8" floppies only went obsolete in about 1985.

Internet archive? So you want to rely on a website to preserve your website? You have to be quite young, to be susceptible to the notion that the web will last.

As people up-thread have suggested, if you want your writings conserved, write something that the people of the future will spend effort to conserve. And forget about your descendants 500 years in the future; you have no reason to think your bloodline will survive. Wars have become progressively more destructive. And there's a slim chance that if your descendants do survive, they will know you're their ancestor anyway. I know about my ancestors back to 4 generations, beyond that I only know their names (and without supporting documentation).

People have spoken of using gravestones. Good luck with that. Gravestones as young as 50 years are being knocked down by councils because they are dangerous. And graveyards are full; they are being re-used, old monments removed and replaced with new ones. And have you ever tried to get detail off even a 200-year-old monument? Instead, since you're in the churchyard, go inside and read the parish register.
It doesn't change.
Maybe, or maybe not (most likely not, in fact). Have you read the rest of my comment?

If Trump is sincere about wanting to have a space for free speech, then he should comply with the GPL. If his goal is to grift off appearing to champion free speech, then attempting to steal from the free software movement is clear way to prove himself as such. Then again, I guess there is always option three: rewrite a proprietary one, saying he had no knowledge that the engineer(s) were stealing code (not an outrageous claim honestly). I gladly await the hate for not taking a particularly partisan view of this issue.
It took much less than 1,000 years for various pidgins and creoles to develop, and there are several of such languages that native speakers of the language's parent languages would have difficulty understanding.
It depends. Some companies pay local salaries, others just keep paying whatever they pay at HQ.
Except that when companies do this, and then ask to be rewarded for making that investment, they are lambasted for price gouging or profiteering…just ask any hardware store that has sat on a pile of snow shovels through the summer in order to capture a premium price when a blizzard is approaching…
Smart people with ideas know that that uploading fledgling, unrealised ideas into the world can mean feeding their baby into a meat grinder of criticism, scepticism, plagiarism and probably some other -isms.

E.g., Andrew Wile had some pretty good insights as to how to go about tackling the solution of Fermat's theorem (read Fermat's Last Theorem by Simon Singh - good book), but did he go 'Hey, listen everybody - what if we did X?' Like hell he did.

Instead he secluded himself and worked on it till he could present a robust proof fait accompli.

This is by no means an unusual story - think of all the bright folks who are tinkering with projects all over the world, even devoting themselves to it full time - trying to realise something that they can call their own.

So, the 'gap between intelligence and ideas' may be partly due to the desire of intelligent people to contain their ideas until they can own the downstream benefits arising from them.
You say it is just harassment but also that ripping off (A)GPL source code shouldn't be excused.
