What do you think was worse? USSR + China was pretty bad.

The US already has 3/3 of those things. But where is the limit where you agree that the US has them? And why is that the limit where the power centralising stops?

And how does that compare to the early calls from the communists? They thought they were helping too. There are scary outcomes from bad policies with good intentions.

But this is a bit off topic so I'll appreciate your answers but hopefully stop getting distracted. The point I want to make and I think I've made is that by actual outcomes it needs to be demonstrated which wing of politics is likely to be more dangerous. They are both pretty scary when they go wild. The rhetoric is not the scary part of the left, their rhetoric is like honey. Everyone likes it at some level.

>it's just a type of "Beggar-thy-neighbour“ game theory failure

Funny how much international politics looks like a "game theory failure", right? If only we could get along!

I'm mostly looking at this from the perspective of the "begger" - hence me originally pointing out that, in the current narrative of countries that are doing badly with energy geopolitics, Germany is in much bigger trouble than the UK. You can be the nicest country in the world, but you can't really predict or change what others will do.

For that matter, why should other EU countries bail out (in the form of energy exports) another country that has become absurdly reliant on energy imports from a hostile neighbour?

>What does help, is everyone using less natural gas.

Humans have burned stuff to heat their homes since the dawn of humanity - it's hard to see what could possibly replace that, unless we go nuclear. Heat-pumps require quite specific circumstances to function efficiently.

I think it’s mostly the middle class suffering. Would a billionaire save 300€ a year for a pool? And does the IRS need so many more agents to chase rich people?

Also without an army of tax consultants and lawyers it’s easy to not be aware of everything you need or don’t need to pay, and most likely you’ll end up overpaying. At the same time richer people will have opportunities to legally reduce their tax bill that ordinary people don’t have.

Unlike for instance in Germany, I’m not paying for my boss to have a lower tax rate than I do.
Cory Doctorow's "shitty technology adoption curve" hypothesis covers this quite well. He's written about it a bunch of times, but an example with a really good summary is at https://pluralistic.net/2020/11/18/always-get-their-rational...

> The "shitty technology adoption curve" describes the arc of oppressive technology: when you have a manifestly terrible idea, you can't ram it down the throats of rich, powerful people who get to say no. You have to find people whose complaints no one will listen to.

Hm, I use the star as "interesting; maybe good". It's a very weak signal that I didn't think something was awful and wanted to be able to find it again. I wouldn't assume that a repository is amazing just because it gets 10+k stars -- this only means that it became viral.

> There is no reason to say the midpoint is privileged.

This is a matter of opinion. I agree it's not 'privileged', but it sacrifices a minimal amount of accuracy for a usable answer.

> If asked to report a single value with no qualifications, I would report either extreme of the interval.

That's a very interesting answer - so for my contrived example of 18, 20, 25, 30, [35, 40], 45, 50, 55, 60, you would report 35 or 40?

How about if I change the dataset a bit (so it's even more contrived): 18, 18, 18, 18, [18, 60], 60, 60, 60, 60 - would you still report either 18 or 60 (again, asking without qualifications)?

I think most people would agree that the median calculated as the arithmetic mean of the two middle values (39) is misleading, but that it is less misleading than ignoring half of the data set. How would you respond to that?

Opportunistic plug since the article mentions Northumberland: anyone wanting to visit the UK as a tourist who doesn't relish spending the whole time in London, you would do well to travel north to York (fantastic medieval city), then onwards to Durham (another ancient cathedral city) and the surrounding area, which is Northumberland. One of the most beautiful parts of England. From there, it is a short journey further north to Edinburgh, which is IMO the best city in the whole of the UK.

There's also that pools are not a free imposition on the community. There's a regulatory apparatus that must be followed - i.e. appropriate child-safety fencing to ensure children do not drown, and your neighbors have a right to not have it built in a way which impacts their property (i.e. proximity to fencing boundaries).
I can largely agree with your post except for one critical passage:

> Replace nude beach with 'revenge porn', 'embarrassing rant at taco bell', or whatever.

These three things are in no way comparable.

An embarrassing public rant is direct evidence of you being rude, unhinged, and/or prone to substance abuse. It is legitimate evidence against your character, even if it was a one-time event many years removed.

Revenge porn is not your fault and should not affect your professional reputation. However, I can see how it can paint an unflattering or unpleasant picture of you. Maybe you're being the submissive in a S/M relationship, which pretty much by definition will make you appear passive and low-status. Or vice-versa, maybe you're very dominating during sex and it might make others afraid to deal with you even if you're the nicest dude ever in the office.

Going to a nude beach says nothing bad about your character, assuming you are just sunbathing or swimming and not acting like a douche. And neither does it paint an unflattering picture of you, assuming your private parts are not utterly out of the ordinary.

I believe I am not the only one here whose blood boils at such a news story. Thank you EFF for investigating this.

My question is, what can we do to fight such oppressive surveillance mechanisms as individuals? Beyond the standard donation to EFF and such. In my rage I want to see the Fog Data Science people prosecuted and the police depts which unquestioningly used their product stripped of their post, but what power do we have as a collection of individuals to work against these nefarious machinations?
We don't have to replace it, well not in the short term. Just turning thermostats down a little, increasing insulation, stopping doing low value things with gas that we don't need to do, shifting electricity use to times when we have wind/nuclear available etc. is enough to ride this winter out.

And the whole point of "begger thy neighbour" is that it hurts you. So saying "I still really want to punish my neighbour because this is his fault" is literally punishing yourself. It doesn't make sense.

As I said, not a technical problem, a political problem.
In Afghanistan, Soviet Union has left behind an allied secular government which would outlive the USSR by a few years. It was not like the American disengagement with people falling off planes.

If people changing countries is not a big deal, why does not Ukraine admit the loss of territories it does not control since 2014? Until that happens, or Russia is defeated militarily, I see no grounds in expecting the war to stop. Ceasefires are possible but those won't last forever either.

because people often respond (positively) on the 4th - 5th sales email you send, even if they ignored the first, and anyone who's truly pissed off will have just marked it as spam already or blocked you.

I understand it would be better if that wasn't true, but it is true, and that's why people send automated follow-ups.

My computer was too old for Apple, a characteristic similar to saying 90% of brand new laptops are too blonde. There are very few modern Apple development machines but anyone with an old desktop can make most modern software. (There are also plenty of exceptions where an Arm laptop isn't usable in software development, so nothing is universal.)

> a west coast newspaper isn't the best source about the foreign resident situation in Portugal and where they do come from.

"a west coast newspaper" should have been enough for you and anyone else looking for "a shred of evidence" that maybe there's something to this, because I would have to assume you being on HN, that you have some idea how to use a search engine. But sure, let me ddg that for you:

Actually, please don't: If you can't operate a search engine, and you're unwilling to leave the armchair you speculate from to go find out from people living in Portugal (like me), how about you keep your uneducated and uninformed opinions to yourself?

Thanks.
With an implosion type bomb you need to make sure that the shockwave from the explosives hits the plutonium pit all around it almost simultaneously. If there was a portion where the explosive shockwave was delayed then the forces on the rest of the pit are going to tend to "squish" it out towards the portion where the explosion hasn't hit it yet. This asymmetrical compression means now you don't get the ideal compressed sphere so now while it's still going to reach criticality, it's going to be blasted apart with much less of the fissile material being fissioned. A great real world example of why timing is so critical is the first North Korean nuclear bomb test.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_North_Korean_nuclear_test...

They had a yield of less than a kiloton. Obviously way greater than conventional explosives but it should have been an order of magnitude more powerful.

In order for the explosives to form that crucial explosive lense you need detonation across numerous points on the outside simultaneously so you need a detonator that's extremely consistent on timing so a simple resistive detonator with some primary explosives packed around a filament is not going to be effective. The method of choice is an exploding bridgewire design. Basically you have a thin wire and you pass enough current through it to vaporize the wire so quickly that the wire itself generates the initial shockwave as it gets turned into plasma. The rest of the explosive lense is just two different types of explosive with different propagation velocities. The two are combined with a parabolic (or hyperbolic, I forget off the top of my head) face between the two layers so that the explosion that started from a single point goes from convex to concave so it hits the outside of the pit all at the same time.

If you simply dropped a half-critical mass onto another and it was prompt critical then yes, it would explode, but with not nearly as much energy being released as a proper nuclear weapon.

Nothing is a reliable transport if you can't trust the operators to follow the specs.

In practice, E-Mail is quite reliable, even in situations where other systems drop messages. For example, you don't need to worry about dropped messages from any downtime of reasonable length (e.g. for system upgrades) because well-behaved MTAs will retry later - this is the entire basis for greylisting.
> But it isn't actually pricing the native population out of the country, just the most desirable cities.

Most of my family have lived within the same 10km for at least 4 generations... It's not the same thing to live where I grew up and close to my friends and family or 50km away. Especially on normal Portuguese salaries which seriously restrict travel.

Sure, if you're in tech (like I am) you can just work remotely from anywhere and you can afford the gas and tolls, but you can also just rent in the city.
I wonder if it being so long is part of the filtering process. Only good recruiters will read the whole thing and bother to reply.

I personally believe it is unnecessarily long, formal, and diplomatic. It does not fit who I am and, if I were to read it, I would have the impression of an annoying and insincere corporate speak.

I believe I can achieve all the goals of being polite, respectful, considerate, and filtering for serious offers with a much, much shorter and informal response.

Something like:

Hi X, thanks for the contact. Company Y sounds interesting and I do think I might be a good fit for the role. I am not actively looking for a new position now, but i’d like to know more about the job description and compensation details. Thanks!

This should all be sincere if course. If the company does not sound interesting (like all crypto for me), I only reply a respectful “no” ( ”Thank you for the contact, but I am not looking for a new job right now.” ). Similar when job is for roles that I have no experience whatsoever, which often happens. In this case I also mention that I am not a, e.g., Android engineer (I am a web frontend).

Also, if there is no company or role mentioned, I give the first reply, but obviously removing the acknowledgment that I like the company/role and ask for details about it too.

This is essentially how rental cars generally work in the US.

> Usually, there's just no time to build internal admin apps when you're a solo founder or a small team.

At my current job, the "admin UI" is rolled into the same CRM we present to our customers, and often takes the form of e.g. additional panels on customer-facing pages that are only visible to admin users. In my opinion, this design was a mistake because it means we have to go to considerable lengths to make internal tools visually polished, despite them often being used by just one or two users who (a) work for us and therefore don't need any polish and (b) we can directly brief on how to perform a particular task.

At a previous job, the customer-facing CRM was as polished as you'd like but the admin tools were kept separate and, as a kind of informal company policy, were often deliberately designed to be _brutally_ simple. Black text on white background, no CSS, no Javascript except maybe for a JQuery plugin thrown onto a table to make it sortable. In some cases where we felt it was justified, we'd even just dump JSON onto a page and train the operator to CTRL+F to find the field they were interested in. Admin tools that were used by more users would receive slightly more effort, but the whole point was to keep these tools as simple and unpolished as they could possibly be while still being functional so the bulk of the devteam's time could be spent on customer-facing code. While this was an extreme contrast to my current job, I nevertheless find this approach a better use of the devteam's time. And as a bonus, it meant the friction to putting together a new admin app was much lower. If one or two of the admin users felt that they were being slowed down by an awkward workflow, it was entirely uncontroversial for the devs to throw together a quick microapp just for those users. If we'd had to do it by putting together an API with a React frontend and everything that goes along with that, we probably would have rejected most of those requests.
On the etymology of "folk", saying that it the word comes from Old English folc is true, although a vast over-simplification. A lot of languages share this word.

This is actually an ancient word, you can trace it back to proto-Germanic "fulka", and further to Proto-Indo-European "plh-gos" (presumably pronounced something like phulgos or pholgos, close enough to folk).

There’s really just nothing wrong with being charming, and no moral authority that derives from not being so.

Being personally ingratiating is simply an ability, like the ability to lift heavier objects or mentally rotate shapes. It has utility, but is not a moral force.
