Well it works if everybody is rich to begin with, I guess. Otherwise I could imagine few issues with the approach of having to buy a house to be able to live somewhere.

It could even be a good filter for immigration - only people who can afford to buy a house could be able to migrate there. And surprise, you end up with a population of fairly successful people.

I'll never understand why people accept this religion-like relationship with Apple.

If you think about it, it really looks like a religion from the outside: the author got some random problem (account lock) then prayed to the god (emailing tim cook) and then the miracle happens (the executive team unlocked the account).

This is not a story of any sort if not an evangelization story about dealing with a fickle god.

I don't think the author is going to be thinking "wow I really dodged a bullet here, better get off this ecosystem as fast as I can" but instead they're probably going to recall the story about that time when they emailed tim cook and the miracle happened.

It makes no sense.

For traditional banks and credit unions, a physical branch is a major component in their 'anti fraud' device and systems.

Trained human experts will review documents and establish an identity.

However those systems also have financial hurdles to access. Someone with a very thrifty banking service, or someone with very little money (paycheck to paycheck poor) would have trouble utilizing such a resource.

This is unfair and systemically disenfranchising.

I would really like to see a solution to this issue from another part of 'the system' which must already validate someone's identity. A nominal and small fee should be attached, but it should be paid for by the corporation that wishes to ensure anti-fraud activity.

In such a circumstance the corporation would be compelled to also accept this validation, or optionally offer others that may be faster if a consumer agrees.

An individual under such suspicion would visit a nearby police department. Depending on the level of validation asked for said department might also try to actively contact the individual in other ways to cross-validate. If someone happens to be on vacation at the time this check would necessarily involve two departments (the place the person is at and their home area).

Such a system is costly in time for the consumer, and some money for the company. Ideally solutions that don't result in account suspension would be developed to prevent reaching this state; but a good standard for last resort default is necessary to ensure any other solution that survives is better.

Not much of a retort. It starts of with an insult at the journalist asking the question why they need to be so strict and then goes on with the usual fear mongering about heroin use being so rampant it destroys society.

Fact is LKY and the government he founded is exceptionally brutal and petty (to this day foreign journalists who dare criticize the PAP government will find themselves sued for libel) but there is very little to suggest that specific aspect of theirs actually does Singapore any good.

A much more likely explanation for their success is that they’re famously incorruptible. Unlike other SE Asian strongmen LKY never diverted his CIA bribe money to a Swiss bank account but instead spent it on beautifying his fief.

(Of course government officials do pay themselves exorbitant salaries so you could argue it’s just corruption by another name, but at least that happens out in the open and comes with a veneer of respectability)

Well first off that statistic is not that 90% own their homes in Singapore it’s that 90% of people live in a home that’s owned and not rented. It’s very typical for Singaporeans to live with family until married or into their 30’s.

HDBs are public housing but there are a ton of rules - can’t own one until you are 35 unless married. Need to meet incomes limits. There is a 4-5 year backlog for BTO (build to order - a new HDB).

HDBs prices have skyrocketed, despite the heavy government subsidy. People game the system all the time and because of demand, you enter a lottery for new HDBs and in prime locations, they can be 8-10x oversubscribed. If you win a unit? You won the lottery. You can sell it in 5 years (minimum occupancy period - MOP) on the resale market and pocket a few hundred thousand. Then upgrade or buy a private condo.

The government’s intention was to make it a good investment and now they are backed into a corner like most countries. How to make housing affordable but also a good investment.

They just instituted new rules that restrict who can buy “prime area” HDBs, increased MOP to 10 years and claw back some of the subsidy.
The beauty of Singapore's economic model is that, like Canada and Australia, it's place for people to park ill-gotten wealth obtained elsewhere. So Singapore can stay squeaky-clean as long as it doesn't ask too many questions.

As for "indefinite detention and torture for political speech", Singapore stopped resorting to this in the 1980s, bankrupting people with defamation suits is much more effective.

ps. Web is simply referring to a web of connected “pages” through links. Pretty much anybody who claims to work on Web3 says nothing about links.

"Singapore had been colonized, occupied, and abused for over a century, "

This is a bit glib anti-history. There was almost nothing there when the English purchased/leased the territory and setup a trading post with strong rule of law and competent commercial practices, and developed a key port which allowed it to exist and flourish.

There was no 'Singapore' until UK Colonialists and local migrants made it.

Singapore, along with Hong Kong, have benefited greatly from rigorous and stable commercial foundations, which allow them to flourish in an region of otherwise political, legal and economic uncertainty. If you have money in Asia over the last 200 years, you preferably want it in Hong Kong or Singapore.

The 'secret' to Singapore's success might be a bit tantamount to if someone were to cleave off Manhattan from the rest of the USA, it's GDP per capita would be 2x that of 'The Mainland', but would we wonder how it was successful? They'd own the financial and distributor/merchant economic sectors of the region while externalizing less profitable ventures to the mainland.

As Asia as grown significantly, Western countries need 'bases' to work from and Singapore / HK were ideal choices, not HK is almost off the radar a process which has been ongoing for a couple of decades.

"Singapore modernized without imposing "Western political models on Asian realities".

Singapore is a Western entity in terms of core governance, judicial, commercial law etc.. Singaporean legal system still refers to English law, and even Commonwealth aka Canadian/Australian legal precedent to this day.

Singapore is a Western commercial and colonialist construct with mostly Western institutions, an Easter population, and an Eastern political elite who have their flavour of governance.

There’s a lot of confusion in this thread, and the original post.

To diagnose the problem with the proof, it’s worth knowing why proof by induction works, to thereby know how it actually works, and then diagnose which part of how it’s meant to be executed isn’t actually being executed in this blog post.

We need a starting point. For natural numbers, that’s Peano arithmetic. For simplicity, Peano arithmetic says that for any unary predicate P, the following is axiomatic:

If

P(1)

And

For all n > 0, P(n) => P(n+1)

Then

For all n > 0, P(n)

Proof by induction involves formulating your hypothesis in the form “For all n > 0, P(n)”, then proving the two conjuncts “P(1)” and “For all n > 0, P(n) => P(n+1)”, and finally concluding your hypothesis by modus applied to the inductive Peano axiom for P.

In this case:

P(n) is “in all sets of horses of size n, all the horses in the set are the same color”

The first conjunct, P(1), generally referred to as the base case, is true, and correctly recognized as such in the blog post.

The second conjunct, “For all n > 0, P(n) => P(n+1)”, generally referred to as eg inductive case, is false for this P.

It’s not about “would the inductive case be true if the base case were different”. There is a single proof presented in the article. It has a base case which is a true statement, and an inductive case which is a false statement. So the problem is the inductive case.

You could have a different proof which, reformulating the Peano axioms a little, could look like:

Base: P(1) and P(2)

Inductive: For all n > 1, P(n) => P(n+1)

In this different proof, let’s call this Proof 2, the base case would be false and the inductive case would be true.

Maybe the author is not intending to say the base case is “wrong” in that is false, but that is “wrong” in that it should have been formulated as in Proof 2, and that the inductive case is valid when interpreted in the sense of Proof 2. But this is completely confused. Why would it have been better for the proof presented in the article be interpreted as a proof (Proof 2) that’s not presented in the article? Both proofs fail, neither is a “better” formulation.

Rather than saying: the proof presented in the article should instead have be formulated in a superficially different but fundamentally equally invalid way, under which formulation the base case would be wrong.

Let’s just say: the inductive case of the proof presented in the article is false.

* Wake up and respond FAST to user inputs.

* Show the numbers it's thinking of big (running average over 5, 10, 15 min?), but also the current reading small (but readable) updated whenever it polls.

My grandmother "altered" her date of birth on her birth certificate so her husband wouldn't know she was older than he was.

Singapore heavily subsidizes what they want and then removes it for things they don’t.

Your quote is correct. But today, since they want more kids, you actually get more with the 3rd, 4th, etc kid - bigger bonus, school priority, savings account, tax rebate. There are half a dozen programs to help. It apparently adds up to over S$100,000 in benefits per kid over their childhood.

(wiki) Thus in any group of horses, all horses must be the same color.

Yes, iff n horses have the same color. I fail to see any paradox here (and in subj tfa too) and why induction is of any importance to it. We worked it all out of a restricting assumption which wasn’t contradicted, but that’s it. It doesn’t tell us anything about all other cases, e.g. when n horses do not have the same color.

Can someone please explain what I’m missing here?
> It plays any media file

I also believed this until I got a family support case a couple of weeks ago.

I learned that if the bitrate is too high for the PC to handle vlc badly fails. (This was a fanless Intel PC, so the CPU is very much low end despite not being particularly old.) Of course I would not expect vlc to do any miracles here, but at least I would expect an error message explaining the problem. ffmpeg gives me warnings all the time if buffers are too small etc. In vlc I'd expect it a bit less cryptic...

Ideally it would still play the video with reduced quality. Whether that's at all doable I don't know. Just decoding I-frames would be the most naive approach, but probably also a not lead to very much usable results.

Actually the family member found one solution themselves: Play it at reduced speed. VLC could have figured out that automatically. (And of course give a clear message to the user why it does that.)
I wonder why the TIO can't help with complaints to Apple, Googles, and Facebook. They provide plenty of telecommunication services. There's really not that much difference between the FANGERS and the telcos who sell the sim cards. It's all just software.

What i don't understand here is link with democracy. Democracy is a cultural phenomenon. It exists in democratic nations - where the very core of beliefs of the people supports it. It has nothing to do with economic development, as it seems. Some people want to be free, some actively reject it, just because all nations are different, simply because upsides and downsides of democracy are of different value for people of different cultures. Democracy does not make a nation rich, just as getting rich does not make a nation democratic.

If there is a slight correlation between GDP and democracy it is because the same beliefs of the people that enable democracy (largely starting with protestant ethic) are also beneficial for economic development. But it does not mean any causation between GDP and democracy so no way to influence one by changing the other.
I know that you've already been corrected for not reading the article, but I'm going to leave this here, from the article, for comedic effect:

Choosing your startup name is hard
Anybody who has studied Sanskrit & Tamil notices tremendous similarity. Even the sounds and letters 90% overlap. Both Kannadiga & Malayalee agree Sanskrit is the mother language but not missionary funded Tamil political class.

You can’t have it both ways. One side you push the Dravidian supremacist mindset but then claim to be part of the Northern Indus/Saraswati valley civilisation. Indian used to be contiguous land mass, one time all the way to Bali and up to Volga river - king Lalitaditya including Gandhar(Kandhar, AFghanistan.)

I don)t believe in North & South Indian rhetoric - colonial trope popular with Christian missionaries. Not only I have read Ashtaadayi but used it’s principles to build a DSL. Sanskrit was designed for compactness and ease of remembrance, does not rule it out for speaking. I live near Asharams where they speak Sanskrit even today. This Himalayan Ashram is nearly 300 years old.

You keep making false, vague and generalised self serving statements as if you lived and spoken Sanskrit for 100 years. The corpus of Sanskrit literature exposes your “zilch” mindset. So tell me few phonetic sounds which exists in Tamil but not in Sanskrit & ones which exist both in Sanskrit and Tamil ?

That will set the record straight for the audience without you trying to bamboozle us with political rhetoric.
Fishnet on Armv8 vs. x86_64
If we’re talking radical changes, I’d really like to move from authentication-by-flesh to authorization-by-cryptography. Basically as opposed to have party A present identifying and (supposedly) hard-to-know information and biometrics until party B is sufficiently confident that they map to the same physical person.. authorization by cryptographic keys. Like using metamask for authenticating.

There will still need to an ecosystem of companies with the kind of services you’re talking about, but there would be a clear distinction between the “vouching” part (attest to a bank that you are who you say) vs “access” part (multi-party key custody and recovery services)

So many hairy problems (online payments fraud for example) stop existing in the same way if we move payments from pull to push and access control to utilizing cryptographic signatures.

I shouldn’t have to expose my entire identity in order for an online merchant to be sure I won’t bounce the payment. And the scenario OP is describing would never happen.
