Putin needs some plausible excuse to scale back his "special operation" without looking like a lightweight or a loser, and big protests throughout Russia would give him just that. So this is a very shrewd move by Navalny that just might work to tip things over, even though you would rightly expect such protests to be generally ineffective.

I think society is better off giving people the best means to achieve the intellectual goal they want, rather than forcing a greater number to learn beyond what they are compelled to. The kind of people I enjoy talking to are all the kind of people who would learn this stuff anyway as a matter of habit. My bookshelf is not full because of a state mandate.
Unsophisticated investors require protective mechanisms, because a lot of people don’t have the intellectual or emotional faculties to make less harmful choices. A function of government is harm reduction at scale, ergo this falls within their mandate.

I don't understand the balance of civil rights and government power in Russia. It's obviously not a free state, and the government has a pretty free hand to arrest protesters, suppress the press, etc. But Navalny is somehow still able to communicate from jail? Wouldn't it be easy to prevent that, for Putin or whoever else he annoys? Does his high profile make it harder to keep him incommunicado (ed: or heavily censor his comms)? Or should we assume that "from his Instagram" doesn't necessarily require the actual man's input, as long as the account is controlled by people who (even approximately) agree with him?

Even Sun Yat-sen, who worked his whole life off trying to bring democracy to China in the chaos of the civil wars before WW2, decided China wasn't ready for democracy. Dr. Sun's successor state of sorts, Taiwan, did manage to carry out his vision in a way (even if they don't agree with the Chinese bit). The first time China had an election was in 1912, and it was largely free by the standards of the time, although the elected president, who was a friend of Sun, was assassinated not long after (the person who ordered the assassination ended up declaring himself emperor of China)

That's not even necessarily true, people all over China refer to themselves by their province, sometimes even prefecture or city, simply out of pride. People are proud of being from Shanghai, or proud of being from Fujian, etc. People are aware of tongue-in-cheek stereotypes regarding their own hometown among the larger Chinese population, and that makes each of them feel special and proud.

The burn shit down is if the state is actively blocking progress. From the ashes rises anew.

Sometimes the way to fix things is to fundamentally and radically reject them and fight them. Historically, this is the only thing that has brought change. I hope we don't have to go there, but power does not want to give up power.
The workaround is already in use for ad hosting - serve all the content from one domain (or an IP) with services natted behind that, so if you block it, nothing works.
>can't see how regulated to the ground are all tech companies there much like state companies

but they aren't. Regulation of tech really only started in earnest only a few years ago. Before that there was barely any privacy frameworks, there was hardly any oversight into anything, and as a result the Chinese tech sector was basically in a Wild West state which accounts for much of its very rapid growth. The state was so absent that private tech companies tried to sabotage each other to gain advantages.

One interesting example from the last decade is the "3Q War" between Tencent and Qihoo, which ended in Tencent essentially blocking use of its own messaging client when they detected that people used Qihoo 360. It's as if Youtube decided to stop operating on any device that had TikTok installed.

There's countless of startup stories like this that would have ended in front of a judge or regulator anywhere else within a week, but in China for a very long time nothing really happened. Chinese 'growth hacks' and profit driven behaviour makes SV look well behaved in comparison.

This completely wrong idea that somehow every aspect of the Chinese economy is strictly regulated is one of the results of this distorted overhyped view people have of the Chinese government.

This isn't saying we don't have a right to criticize them. Its saying if you're criticizing them and you're American, please double that anger and add a new recipient to it. The recipient being your country.
So, it isn't misleading at all.

I think perhaps the smarter way to look at this: If not for the unifying force of "whiteness," you probably would have much stronger and more serious distinctions between those groups you mentioned; I could easily envision something like "Oh, the Irish folks shouldn't be on the Italian side of town at night," today.

But that is practically nonexistent, at least here in the US, and the reason should be relatively obvious by now.
How often do you broil? I have an electric oven and probably use the broiler about 3 times every two years.

Everyone's cooking styles and needs are different, I guess. It's never been an issue for me. If I leave the oven door ajar, the broiler will stay on and do it's job. An electric oven works far better than gas for baking however which is something we do regularly.
The comment I was replying to was discussing the economic possibilities inherent in having a coastline. A large number of which are governed by actual, taxable control of the waters in question. Which in turn is defined by international treaties (and local power acceptance of same).

Anyone can call themselves a nation, but being one requires an economy based on something. And presumably agriculture isn't an option with 1.5 acres of sandy soil.

Yes; PiHoles are used for far more than just blocking smart TVs. The difference between browsing the web at my house and browsing away from home is so stark that it's almost not worth browsing most sites if I'm not behind it.
So it really has nothing to do with capitalism or a free market then.

The failure comes from state regulations, cartel behavior permitted by the WTO and other failed globalist bodies, and state warmongering. The solution is clearly to demonize individual choice and concentrate more power in corrupt state and global bodies!
> but is growing by about 50% a decade.

First off, human population can't grow exponentially, cubically at absolute most if there are three spatial dimensions and a finite speed of light, in reality less. It's relativity, biology can't move at superluminal speeds, everything macro is limited in speed to a fraction or a fraction of a fraction (depending on how macro it is) of the speed of light.

Second, I'm not sure Orthodox Jews are that culturally homogenous. I bet there's subtleties outsiders don't pick up on. I've read different Hasidic Jews have different rabbi lineages (Lavrov and Bobov are two?), if they were identical they wouldn't. It's a question of zooming in. It is probably further obscured by solidarity and voting as a bloc, meaning agreeing ahead of time privately to present a united front to outsiders.

And, if Israel is not the only Jewish state, it would be similar to the past. There were two in the past, Kingdom of Judea and Kingdom of Israel.

In a word, reliability. Nuclear is /by far/ the most reliable energy source.

Nuclear power plants produce maximum power 92.5% of the time. Compare that to other energy sources:

- Geothermal: 74.3%

- Nat gas: 56.6%

- Hydropower: 41.5%

- Coal: 40.2%

- Wind: 35.4%

- Solar: 24.9%

Batteries are a joke. Consider the 409MW / 900MWh battery at Florida Power & Light: this is only enough to power 329,000 homes just over two hours. What happens after the juice runs out? In a day the RE Ginna Nuclear Plant in New York operates at 582 MW--in 24 hours thats 13,968MWh guaranteed! [3] That's powering over 329,000 or more homes without fear of outages. Battery systems in conjunction with renewables brings the capital cost per kwh of nuclear vs renewable to closer to 2:1 (6k $/kW vs 3k $/kW) too. So you're essentially getting 3x the reliability for 2x the cost when using nuclear and outages that exceed a few hours are a non issue. [4]

I don't think there is a good answer to this - given that MasterCard and Visa are blocked, i.e. that one can't pay for the VPN without external help. Free VPN providers are going to be enumerated and blocked. I think the most practical solution would be to get Tor (email to gettor@torproject.org to get a personalized non-blocked download link, or get Orbot from F-Droid on Android while it still works), and use it with a non-public obfuscated bridge.

If you still have a foreign SIM card with sufficient balance (or can order one through Vietnam while paying with a Mir card), try to use it, this is also an effective (but expensive) censorship circumvention device even in mainland China.

P.S. I have already relocated to the Philippines, so the advice above does not apply to me.
It might be going out on a limb, but after reading this article and following him in Twitter, I don’t think you are correct in your multiple assertions that he is a transgender man.

https://twitter.com/pfjakubowicz

Not sure why you’re so worked up about this. The guy was in the middle of telling a story about how he’d already been kicked out for inappropriate touching. If someone else didn’t like his touching enough to kick him out of their car, why would he feel the need to demonstrate it again? If some drunk creep wanted to touch me to prove his case about how it should have been okay to touch his other drivers I’d kick him out too.
I know some of the LG domains should probably begin with a wildcard, as I’ve seen gb.lg etc that’s not in the list.

When I bought my first smart TV (mainly due to lack of dumb screens), immediately grabbed a Pi-Hole and started blocking everything I could find.

You could try this for DoH blocking. It probably needs help staying updated.

> If they still insist on saying drivers are independant contractors, none of their whining about "tragedy of the commons" is anybody's business

You're confusing things a bit. Uber itself doesn't "whine" about tragedy of the commons, the other stakeholders (drivers and riders) are the ones who do.

Also, for everyone going on about how Uber doesn't provide info upfront, and parroting the old drivers-should-be-employees clueless hot take, perhaps they missed this other recent article[0]:

> The company says the new feature provides drivers with more transparency. They [drivers] see more details of a prospective ride before accepting it, such as the fare and pick-up and drop-off locations, which is something drivers say they’ve been asking for. In the past, most drivers wouldn’t receive this information until after they accepted a ride.

So yes, Uber knows what drivers want and it wants to provide it to them, and it obviously has a vested interest in avoiding scenarios where drivers cannibalize themselves to death. What's not obvious to y'all outsiders is that Uber has to figure out all of the unspoken complexity and cleverness required to enable changes like this to be rolled out in a way that basically looks like what all the armchair analysts were saying it should have been done, without running into the previously known risks of rolling out such a thing. And even then, there's always some cherrypicky over-simplified scenario to bitch about (as the very article I linked to does).

Everyone who keeps making statements that "Uber wants drivers to be employees it can rip off" fundamentally do not understand what they are talking about. As an insider, I don't owe it to anyone to "argue" with them. I can just inform them that I've heard from many other insiders that they think independent contractor status is a good thing (i.e. McDonalds FTE already exists and more options on top of that are always a good thing), that the implementation still has room for improvement, and that they want to make it better.

Well they also aren't bad things: they count for two likes and are used to indicate sadness, not disapproval. According to articles on the ranking decisions, Facebook internally calls them "Sorry". You don't want to take a post where someone says something sad and people react with sadness and say "this is bad content".
It's not elimination. It's called "having a standard language so people can communicate". People still speak their non-Mandarin mother tongues at home and in general. Local dialects are still used at the bank, at government service centers, etc. It's just that you must _be able_ to communicate in Mandarin in case somebody from another province walks in. Some local schools, especially for minorities, still teach their mother tongue in school as a subject, on purpose - e.g. schools in Xinjiang.
My TV has some sort of smart feature bullshit, but I just never gave it any wifi access. Avoids the issue entirely and I treat the TV as a monitor+speaker combo and nothing else.

doesn't help that the delphi IDE isn't very good
When it comes to suppression of the language, the exclusion of it in schools, the closing or attempted closing of radio and TV stations, and the hiring of outside officials to push Mandarin, they absolutely do. It wasn't long ago when you'd walk through districts like Liwan and see signs stating “no Mandarin” on restaurant signs or when vendors would refuse to speak to people in Mandarin. If you had lived in Guangzhou, especially in the 90s and 00s, you'd have experience this

From my understanding, to protect themselves and claim that they were "just following orders" Russian corrections officers follow the letter of the law, which (as of now) still allows personal attorney visits.

The state might not make it easy, and move the prisoner to a facility in some remote part of Siberia, but unless rule books are re-written, the corrections officers have to reluctantly comply.
Advertisers work for brands, they're humans who make ads to sell us shit we didn't ask for. Personally I don't care which brand they work for, I want them all to stop. Whether its a blatant ad for a product or a product itself being turned into an ad, its all obnoxious and wasteful
> I think framing systems purely in 'Black ex-slaves' vs. 'The Others', presumably White is a bit misleading.

Even if we could magically make racism disappear today, we would still have to deal with the legacy of racism. It affects everything from where people are today to the future they can build for their children. Take something as simple as wealth. It affects where people can afford to live, and those with children and the means will typically choose to live where they have access to better schools.

We should also remember that these ethnic communities are not simply cute little bastions of cultural diversity or places where immigrants choose to settle to live among their own people. In some cases, those who live there had very little choice in where to settle. In some cases, they were told where to settle. Even if they were given a choice where to live and these ethnic communities emerged because it's where land was available when they arrived, we have to remember that immigration policies are frequently based upon race. Consider the prairie provinces of Canada, where there are various communities that have strong cultural ties. Many of those communities exist because particular peoples were allowed in at the end of the 19th century. Other communities never existed, since those peoples were not allowed in. We also need to remember that the diversity within a race is also meaningful. Think of it this way: we have Little Italy and Greek Town, but not Little Europe, since European cultures are distinct in our eyes. On the other hand, China Town arose since it is distinct from European culture yet it fails to consider the cultural diversity within China. If you're black, both cultural diversity and culture are typically overlooked altogether. A Little Ethiopia may sneak in here or there, but the acknowledgement of culture is usually overlooked all together.

My apology for the rant, but I believe that the claims of racism are both historically valid and legitimate in the present. While monocultures are distressing, legitimizing segregation is also problematic.
> so it doesn’t point out how uneconomical this nuclear project is.

It does insofar as it matters for capital. Who wants to invest in a plant that will take at least ten years (but probably more with cost overruns in the billions) before they see a ROI? Especially when the cost per MWH from a renewable project that will be online in 2 years with less risk is already comparable if not more competitive.
