I've heard the fundamental position of conservatism slightly differently: "if something doesn't have to change, then it must not change". As such, the opposite may well be "let's change this and see if it helps".

But behind this fundamental position, there still lies the position that the current state of affairs is fundamentally ok, or very close to it (or if not the current one, then some previous one that you aspire to return to). You can't truthfully be a conservative while believing everything is rotten and always has been - you would have no reasonable reason to oppose change, even change for change's sake.
Uber is a god-send for that use case. Even in my home city, having a fare commitment up-front, knowing I won’t have to deal with cash or cabbie-bullshit, and ease of use is worth spending more than cabs cost.

If I’m possibly going to have more than one drink with dinner, I’ll use ride sharing. Round trip ride shares aren’t that much more than weekend evening parking anyway.

It may have downsides for some, but it definitely doesn’t have downsides for all.
No, there are dozens of sources

"Mainstream media" means that someone is trying to spread doubt, and knows very little from audited sources. It's an extreme red flag
Saying my source glosses over something doesn't mean the assertion is wrong, it only means it doesn't go into detail.

Here's a tad more complex paper with examples

The similarities and ethical concerns are why mice are used. However my original comment was because the post implied the research was wrong because they "don't look like mouse".

Which I said was overy simplistic and arrogant. As if then a researcher reading that comment would suddenly realize "wait..were not mice, this and all other studies are worthless. I used mice for no reason but couldn't think of a reason not to or how they are different"

The apparent secured-core requirement for 2022 is that [...] out of the box, these systems will not boot anything other than Windows.

This definition is so broad you can basically classify anything you don’t like as “cultural appropriation” depending on how loosely you define “minority”, “majority” and “context”. And in fact that’s what usually ends up happening. Certain forms of blatant “cultural appropriation” are not criticized or even considered as such as long as they conform to the cultural zeitgeist of Western academia.

For example, famous BLM activist Blair Imani is convert to Islam. After her religious conversion she soon after came out as a proud queer woman and upon being questioned she claimed there is no conflict between homosexuality and Islam. She subsequently gave media tours proudly proclaiming to the world her marginal view of Islam. This idea obviously only exists in some marginal Muslim communities in the west and goes against the beliefs of 99% of Muslims in the global south. Is this not blatant cultural appropriation? She took Islam and warped it to fit her western morality much to the anger of its emotional adherents.

Obviously we will never see an article calling her or the Nation of Islam cultural appropriators.

I'm not sure that enabling illegal things is a positive value though. Sure, there might be some things that are banned for dumb reasons (cannabis comes to mind), but if you enable any and all commerce, you end up also enabling stuff like assassinations and child abuse.

Imo a currency that makes those possible has negative value.

Regarding the "fiscal games" by nation states part - in democratic societies those "games" are policy decisions, voted for by the people. I find trying to circumvent the will of the people as expressed in a democratic vote morally questionable, and think that enabling antidemocratic behavior, too, is negative value. (Not to mention that it doesn't work anyways, as you noted).
At least it will not be illegal to move.
Yes, the removal of CD/DVD-drives is as much of an obstacle to installing Linux as having to toggle a setting on a Windows-preinstalled machine that someone bought. You are also free to buy a SKU that doesn't come with a Windows license and Windows preinstallation.

Also please keep in mind that it's not Secure Boot you have to disable, it's a CA you have to re-enable on machines that came with Device Guard pre-enabled.
> It's irrelevant whether consumers likes a companies product when discussing rules and regulations.

Creating the kind of world we want to live in should be the sole purpose of rules and regulations. How people want to live shouldn't play second fiddle to what rules and regulations say. Rules and regulations can be changed.
The moment Uber (Grab or whatever local equivalent) appears, they undercut competition on price by operating at a loss for a while, then jack up prices. After that they aren't worth it except in crime-ridden localities or places without regulated taxi systems.
I wonder what it would do to human biology to have 1 g pulling us down as we evolved to handle, but also 1/6 g pulling us sideways. I guess it would cause all sorts of balance and medical issues.

> it went all in on China's debt trap diplomacy

No. Debt owed to China is less than 10% of Sri Lanka's total debt. And it owes a lot more to western nations/institutes.

I'm still shocked how this clearly unsubstantiated claim continues to circulate. The so called "China debt trap diplomacy" is a phenomenon mostly fabricated/promoted by columnists with a clear agenda.
There are penalties for making false statements to investors, which can include SEC coming down on you or an investor lawsuit. Statements made represent what we know at that time. Things have changed from January till now. Consumer sentiment is in the gutter and we don't know when the interest rates hikes will stop. Interest rates have a huge impact on public companies due the debt public companies carry. What you're seeing is the tightening of cash flow. Companies are cutting back on expenses. This has a huge impact downstream. I would hate to be at a SaaS company because new implementations are getting pulled and deal flow has dried up. Some of these companies are public. What they knew two months ago and what they know are completely different.

My biggest annoyance is that a bunch of large public companies did stock buybacks when the market was at record highs. Now that debt is expensive, doing secondary offerings just completes the buy high sell low scenario and shows bad leadership.
Wikipedia confirms it’s designed to survive a 30MT blast 1km away. It was designed when missiles were inaccurate and expensive so the warheads were huge and unlikely to hit it directly.

Now most of NORAD is at another, completely unsheltered facility because missiles are so accurate that no protection matters.

Cheyenne exists mainly for lesser threats than general nuclear exchanges.
They were disruptive, and sure you can quote 100 times they admitted they were flying in the face of local regulations. So were automobiles when they came out; so were airplanes. UPS, FedEx fought with regulations protecting the Post Office. EBooks were a conundrum - were existing contracts for paper books meaningful any more?

Sure I feel for drivers, they had a hard time. Definitely they got the raw end of the deal.

> a weapon burrowed anywhere near your bunker and detonated it’s good night

What are the mathematical chances someone will burrow a sufficiently powerful nuclear device near a Cheyenne mountain type bunker without getting noticed by security, maintaining all the electrical supplies and fusing quietly over months/years, and at the apocalyptic moment manage to detonate it with VVIPs holed in?

I bet the same chances as carrying it inside and detonating it.
It's difficult to feel bad for the legacy taxi industry. It's one of the most corrupt industries and totally resistant to market entrants. This business is ruthless and workers were exploited in the previous system. A corrupt system encourages corrupt behavior. Do people remember what it was like before Uber?

Before Uber, I had personal experiences with taxis in Chicago and London trying to scam and bully me when visiting. Taxis in my hometown would never show up when called. Not to even mention the racial discrimination that was ubiquitous with legacy taxis.
France made me pro-Uber. The taxis in Paris are arrogant, entitled and even bullies. I've seen them smoke in the car, refuse to turn down the radio, and other shenanigans. Not to mention they're often not around when you need them.

Maybe Big Taxi needed a shakeup worldwide.

Although the other day I sat in sick in a Lyft before work, and I ended up getting only 5 dollars credit for the privilege of smelling all day around people.
As a German I'm fine with Alemaan (note that the German name for Germany is nothing like Germany either).

But it's worth noting that in German "Alman" has become the equivalent of "gammon" in the UK, especially among immigrants and in youth culture. I.e. a derogatory slur for a specific type of native-born person (usually men) holding naïvely reactionary views. Not necessarily intentionally racist but always ignorant.

BMW has already shown itself to be skeevy by attempting to charge a fee for Apple's CarPlay; fortunately, if memory serves, they backed down from that.

I'll never buy another BMW, and I won't buy a car from a company that follows suit. It's gross.
Yes, and how did it get inside? And what's stopping the rest? And where do you put what's captured?

They're the same statement once you think about it some or have some domain experience
Yep, it was a tendon rupture, which was momentarily confusing to me: in English “rupture” has taken on the meaning of “to burst” (like a seed pod) while the term is used here in its original Latin sense (break). It’s been a few decades since I was in high school!

I was shocked how well I could do without a functioning biceps — seems like my triceps does most of the work. Since I had no or negligible pain (unlike the knee) I briefly considered just living with it broken. Unfortunately there are several things I would like to use it for, including the one that broke it. So we’ll see what happens.
you keep a car for something that will happen once per ~ 4 years?

Yes, value is created by work. The asinine thought process is to somehow suggest that a meaningful amount of economic output is intangibly created by not working. Economic output isn’t the end-all-be-all metric to use for life. But it’s a little crazy to suggest that you can move this particular metric by doing nothing in aggregate.

(old debate I know, but psychology isn't my strong point).

Facebook, google, etc have wildly comprehensive databases of my behaviour, online and offline. Only recently I have come to understand that a lot about my personality is quite static. Given this it feels like I can be manipulated and therefore my decisions can be sold to the highest bidder. Is there still hope?
yes, you are correct, it is "Do not break user space", thanks.
The most important stuff is backed up by version control, obviously. For everything else I use Syncthing.
From Frank's more recent book:

> What this doctrine means for the politics of income inequality should be clear: a profound complacency. For successful professionals, meritocracy is a beautifully self-serving doctrine, entitling them to all manner of rewards and status, because they are smarter than other people. For people on the receiving end of inequality—for those who have just lost their home, for example, or who are having trouble surviving on the minimum wage, the implications of meritocracy are equally unambiguous. To them this ideology says: forget it. You have no one to blame for your problems but yourself.

> Because most of the fuses lit by Clinton and Co. didn’t actually detonate until after he had left office—and by then some science-denying Republican was in the Oval Office—they found it easy to absolve the Democrat from blame. When a Rhodes scholar was the one deregulating and cutting taxes, why, those were good times; when some idiot from Texas tried his hand at it, the world crashed and burned. Just another demonstration of the importance of a good education, I guess.

Not for nothing, but BMW realizes very little post-first-sale service dollars because they bake that into the price of the car.

If you go and buy a new 3-series this afternoon, you pay for your gas and that's pretty much it. All your scheduled maintenance is included, and you may even end up with a tire plan (wise on some of these cars; Z-rated rubber is pricey, and urban areas can eat tires) so the rubber ends up "included" too.

Let me guess: the one of the three Länder that are called something with "sachsen" that you forget is Niedersachsen, even despite spelling it out literally one word before that sentence! Being born in the only saxon capital of the of the country I was born in I've made a habit out of confusing saxons from the east by claiming that I'm one of them, never gets old.

> So we should all be learning Chinese by your logic?

I fail to see how admitting that certain countries have particular qualities that make them less competitive in a given industry and thus make it more economically feasible to use the solutions of other nations, means that they would become dependent on another culture/language.

I mean, exploring new languages and knowing a few polite phrases is generally a good idea, even if you don't find the idea of learning a new language fun/useful personally. That said, it's not like it's required either: people who shop on AliExpress don't need to know Chinese by any means.

Globalization (and thus getting out-competed in certain respects) is kind of inevitable nowadays, though admittedly it would be really cool to see European alternatives to AWS - I mean, Alibaba Cloud and Yandex Cloud seem to prove that it's at least somewhat feasible to explore something like that and companies like Hetzner and Scaleway seem to also prove that the infrastructure aspects are basically covered.

All that's missing is the platform around it, as well as all of the complexity and development that would come with setting out to make something like that.
Question for folks who are knowledgable in the subject:

Which car manufacturers have good security when it comes to those wireless keys? Are there any?

I feel like most of those things are either designed by regular developers who lack the hacker mindset; or maybe they do have it, but product management cuts corners to have better 'ease of use' etc.
Am I the only one that actually likes this idea? I live in Austin, where we only need heated seats like three months out of the year at most. On top of that, if I pay $999 for heated seats as an addon, that’s equivalent to 4.5 years of subscription at $18/m. If I could turn off lots of features while I’m on vacation, etc. I think that’s a huge win. But clearly I’m in the extreme minority.

>Instead try to improve the customer experience

AB testing can be (although isn't always) used to improve the customer experience. Assuming you know exactly what will make the customer experience best without actually testing it can also lead to a worse experience.
Technology for space lags behind consumer technology by 10-20 years. There are a few reasons for this:

- Long lead time to test and certify hardware.

- Higher reliability requirements (e.g. must work non-stop for 10 years)

- Must be able to operate in a higher radiation environment with little to no cooling. In a vacuum, and in zero gravity, cooling works very differently to how it does on Earth.

- These missions often take a decade or more to come together, and changing requirements throughout that process is hard, costly, and risky, so often they stay the same from the beginning.

Notably, SpaceX are bucking this trend a bit with their avionics which just runs on standard Linux machines rather than specialist machines or with a realtime OS, but they have mission lengths measured in minutes to hours, not decades.
And I think there's some value in not actually having the music in physical form, at least as we knew it. I have fond memories of the music I discovered and enjoyed on tape and CD (only owned 2-3 records), but I don't miss the CD towers and shelves of video tapes.

Even if you cart around audio files on 5TB portable drives, or have a drive per key location (home, office, etc) there are advantages to streaming. One less drive I need to maintain.

Losing everything when you unsubscribe is shitty though. I guess that's the choice made.

There’s nothing about AB testing that requires you to use short-term metrics. I used to manage AB tests for online dating sites (OkCupid, Grindr) where subscription revenue is what matters, and the gains of any strategy will take months to materialize. We were well aware that, say, raising prices would yield more short-term revenue at the expense of long-term revenue. That didn’t stop us from testing, it just made the statistics more complicated.
