It means that markets rely on the rule of law. From monopoly regulation to the prohibition on outright theft, markets literally cannot exist without governance.
I mean, that’s literally what has happeneed throughout history everywhere?

Lots of groups currently live as part of a larger country - Basques, Catalonians, Kurds, Tibetans etc. does this mean they have to lose millions of people fighting for total independence and sovereignty?

In Ukraine, for instance, Crimea was an unwilling particpant, ever since 1991 we know 94% voted to break away from Ukraine. Ukraine invaded them in the 90s, arrested their leaders and changed their constitution.

Going further back, Galicia was part of Poland, but then Ukrainian communists took it. And Poland used to rule Ukraine, which Ukrainians chafed under (Bogdan Khmelnitsky revolt).

Ukraine has been a tinderbox of many cultures, incouding Kossacks, Orthodox Christians, Greeks, Russians, Catholic Poles, religious and secular Jews, Red athiest Communists, and more.

In 1919 it was briefly a Cossack Hetmanate, if you can believe that!

Actually, communist Bolsheviks (except for Stalin) are the ones responsible for reviving Ukrainian language and culture, as part of their program of “korenizatziya” throughout the USSR. The opposite of what you’d expect:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korenizatsiia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainization

The culture of “hating Russians” was there among some nationalists, such as Petliura, Bandera and Schuhevych, who took the opportunities around world wars to try to fight for independence. But they were also deeply wrapped up with hatred of Jews, Poles etc. The two guys I mentioned are responsible for killing many Jews, Poles, etc.

After WW2, the Soviet Union had lost 30 million people but emerged a victor over nazis. The USA in a few scant years had made NATO with formerly-nazi Germany as a founding member, against USSR. In 1954 USSR formally asked to join, before starting the Warsaw Pact. Incidentally that same year Khrustchev’s Presidium unilaterally gifted Crimea from Russian SSR to Ukrainian SSR “in a spirit of deep friendship”.

USA and CIA preferreed to work with literal nazis against the eastern bloc. (Operation paperclip, Pinochet in Chile, etc etc.) Radio Liberty was a CIA-funded program to keep the opposition to USSR alive in Ukraine, usually among the far-right elements who sympathized more with the nazis who had lost, and whose grandfathers fought on that side. It didn’t matter to USA, because USSR was their geopolitical rival now.

Same as it didn’t matter about sponsoring jihadists (which is what “mujahideen” means in Arabic) in Afghanistan and getting 2 million civilians killed in a needless civil war, spending billions radicalizing and arming people together with Saudis and leading to the explosion of Wahhabist Islam around the world, ending up later ravaging Iraq, Syria, Nigeria etc.

It’s not about “preserving culture”. That’s the cynical explanation. It’s about proxy wars and weakening the rivals throuh endless quagmires. USA and its architects of proxy wars do not actually care about the people on the ground:

I would dispute that but also don't see the relevance to the conflict with Hezbollah.

Many questions remain, but, also, one: If Mossad had the capability to pull off such a complex supply chain fiesta here, could they not as certainly hack the firmware to intercept all traffic? (Now that Hezbollah is alledged to be using them to communicate?)

Maybe they did, and - at this point - decided that detonating them was preferable to having the asset - and whatever information it was yielding ...

... which is worrying.-

PS. There's talk of this being a "use it or lose it" kind of scenario, with the pagers being close to compromised.-
Rather stupid idea to attack those who call the shots. Try doing it and they change the government for the more agreeable one. Because the initiative is leftist, who that will be? Far right. Result: Putin wins.

In the very best case, they simply leave. You end up with the same number of poor, but no rich. Will that make anyone happier? Those speaking of "exit tax": it's no secret that their money is not invested in Europe. So if they leave, they just leave, no exit tax. Why? You seen EU stock performance? They are all in the US. In part because far-left initiatives like that have no chance in the US. But mostly because stocks there work because money isn't being sucked out of the underlying companies by the takers on one hand, and investors also have money to pour in because they are taxed less. Very best end result: you make Europe even more behind on everything because you will have all the same takers, but even fewer makers.

They detonated the bombs in supermarkets and homes. It is 100% an accurate description of what happened.

If an enemy targeted members of American political parties that have sponsored terrorism and brutal dictatorships, detonating thousands of bombs in supermarkets and homes maiming nearby civilians and killing children, would you also call this “objectively a good thing?”
> I'd be extremely, extremely surprised if this was a "targeted" shipment rather than a generic batch that was expected to a certain degree to be bought by hezbollah members.

Why?
Everything is statistical. The explicitly defined systems are understandable and understood, but can also be brittle[0]; they do make it easier to put probabilities on failure scenarios, but those probabilities are never 0. ML systems are more like real people. They're unpredictable and prone to failures, fixing any one of which often creating a problem elsewhere - but with enough fixing, you can push the probability of failure down to a number low enough that you no longer care.

Compare: probabilistic methods of primality checking (which is where I first understood this idea). Theoretically, they can give you the wrong result sometimes; in practice, they're constructed in such a way that you can push the probability of error to arbitrarily low levels.

See also: random UUIDs, hashing algorithms - all are prone to collisions, but have knobs you can turn to push the probability of collision to somewhere around "not before heat death of the universe" or thereabouts.

This is the kind of approach we'll need with ML methods: accepting they can be randomly wrong, but developing them in ways that allow us to control the probability of error.

--

[0] - In theory, you can ensure your operating envelope is large enough to cover pretty much anything that could reasonably go wrong; in practice, having a clear-cut operating envelope also creates a pressure to shrink it to save money (it can be a lot of money), which involves eroding what "reasonably" means.

> you will be forgiven to think that there is no contributions made by the Middle Ages mathematicians ever

This can be attributed at least in part to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and the relative chaos that followed it in Central and Western Europe. Instead, Indian and Middle-Eastern mathematicians took over in the intervening millennium or so. Men like Āryabhaṭa, Brahmagupta, Al-Khwarizmi, et al made significant contributions to modern mathematical understanding.

> If you don't want to pay those taxes, then renounce your US citizenship once you have, say, gained UK citizenship, if that works for you.

Boris Johnson - the ex UK prime minister - was born in the US, and complained loudly and frequently about having to pay taxes to the US - and appears to have refused to do so atleast partially. Having to pay tax on profits from the sale of his family home (which is tax free in UK) was the trigger to get him to renounce citizenship.

I fail really to see the difference between Hezbollah lunching rockets into Israel and Israel's pager bombs. Except the latter are pretty well targeted.

Frankly I believe that the people complaining pagers wouldn't if Hezbollah had managed to do the same to Israel. They'd celebrate it. So really they're just unhappy that the team they're emotionally invested in is getting shellacked.
Well, try to use the world "race" for human in France at least yes (sorry I'm talking about what I know of, I don't know for other French speaking countries), and you will see the reactions (maybe not as outraged than if you used the N word in the US, but something like that).

As for the legal part, calling all people of a given origin "bad managers" is definitely illegal here in France (once again, speaking only about what I know of)

> you should just ignore it.

I believe we shouldn't ignore it. I know about physics from pop-science mostly, so I have limited choices, either "space stretching", or (if I just ignore pop-science) "I have no clue what is happening", or I should stop doing all I'm doing now and dig into physics textbooks, to get real understanding. The last option is not really tempting, I have better ways to spend my free time, the second option doesn't seem constructive at all, so the only viable option is to not ignore vague pop-science description.

There is also the aspect of organized crime using encrypted communication.

A recent example being EncroChat, with 6000+ suspects arrested (~200 high value targets).

I'm NOT saying we should dispose of encryption and privacy, but there needs to be modern solutions to modern problems.

Personally I can favour privacy intrusion, if and only if, there are checks and balances. E.g. any misuse of invasive technologies would result in whole government (senate, congress, president, supreme court) goes to prison for 25 years minimum w/o pardon.
By all means, be the change you want to see. All I know about OpenRC is that it doesn't support user services the same way systemd does. I know even less about runit or s6, so I'd love to hear more from people who use them in their daily computing. Because unfortunately the impression I get from never seeing anyone talk about OpenRC, Shepherd, Upstart, et cetera; is that either nobody uses them, or they don't add anything worth noting over SysVinit.

Though I'm surprised that you say:

> Every time systemd comes up everyone says it's great and how much better it is

When my experience is usually that people complain about systemd and it being over-engineered and doing too much and having too many components (yes, I know that those projects are related to systemd, not part of it, I'm just saying what I see people mention as downsides).

> I'm still not really sure why Isreal causes such polarised emotions.

Not to state the obvious but the largeest distinction between israel and every other country its that its a mostly jewish country.

> THe war intensified, but it was only when all the players started talking did something good happen

The bigger issue here is that while talks have been attempted many times, there is a sense on both sides of bad faith negotiations. In Ireland, bad as it was, there was a feeling the other side "would get too much" but not that they were outright lying about their aims.

> The problem here is that the number of parties that need to talk are quite high

There is also the problem of little value to human life. Religious fanatism, afterlife promises and even goverment sponsored programs such as martyr funds have devalued human life to a point where here is little basis on what to use as foundational goal for peace.

If a house and 401k also counted towards net worth, it could impact quite a few Americans. Besides, those who expatriate for tax optimization purposes usually have a significant amount of wealth.

For the top 1%, income is irrelevant. It's the net worth that's important there. Median person has no concept of that. So those surveys are bound to be bs.

I agree that a 'corporate death penalty' would be enormously open to abuse, sector rivals would be even more incentivised to industrial espionage for one thing...

But 'a distraction from fines'? Fines do nothing to help those affected by such breaches. Even class action lawsuits usually result in symbolic payouts to individual victims. Given the potential consequences of these breathes - especially in the health space, criminal prosecution for those executives responsible seem appropriate, commensurate and incentivising.

Like I'm in Pakistan, I passed all my accountancy papers but I never went on to an audit firm because they pay below minimum wage, and they work so late that I realised I just didn't make sense, for one I'd be too late to catch the bus home. (Also another hilarious reason I'll share later.)

For context, The minimum wage in pakistan for 2024 is 37,000 PKR per month [1] (That's 132 USD per month. Yes, one hundred thirty two dollars, for a whole month) This what you would pay for manual 'un-skilled' labour.

The stipend rate for ICAP trainees depends on stage[2], but goes from PKR 19,700 ($70) to PKR 84,700 ($304) per month, but most people I knew were at the stage that pays PKR 30,700 ($110) per month. It's the same for any org hiring an ICAP trainee, be it Big4 or whatever.

They call it stipend, to imply it isn't a salary and affected by salary laws, but these are proper 9am-9pm 6 days a week jobs you have to do for atleast 3 years.

My accounting body ACCA (UK based, but works intenationally), doesn't specify a standard stipend rate, which means accounting firms are free to abuse us even below the pitiful ICAP rate.

Here is an ad[3] on their own job board, by an 'ACCA-approved' employer, offering 15-20K stipend per month. ($54-$72)

____

This leads to the other, hilarious reason why I never went into an accounting firm... because we were banned by ICAP. Since ACCA never fixed rates, accounting firms starting hiring ACCA over Pakistani CA students, because they could pay use even less.

This led to ICAP banning accounting firms from hiring non-Pakistan based accounting body students. Then ACCA had to go to the Competiton Commission of Pakistan [4] to get this ruling turned over.

But by the time the judgement came in our favour, it had been too late for people like me.

Anyhoo, I went on to other jobs, then went back to uni, currently doing my MSc (distance learning), but I do wonder sometimes what the other path would have taken me.

Maybe I'd have been dead by overwork like the poor lady in the link. I guess that ban might have saved my life.

It does but for US taxpayers. If you are a US taxpayer, you pay it if you exit. But those people are not us taxpayers, they happily pay NRA withholding tax (15% on dividends) and that's it.
This is a very valid concern but it also applies to many "western" social media and entertainment channels.
Entropy can also be understood as uniformity.

For example, when you add a bit of milk to a cup of black coffee, at first you'll see the white milk and black coffee as separate. But with a single stir (or just over time), they mix together and become a uniform blend—the entropy has increased, the uniformity has grown. You can't just stir it the opposite way and magically separate the milk from the coffee again.

Over time, an abandoned house gradually turns into dust and rubble—a more uniform state. Entropy, or this increasing uniformity, always grows over time. To me, uniformity feels more "ordered," so in that sense, entropy is a measure of order, or how mixed things are.

The free market actually works great under the assumption of governments not acting irrationally.

However, since China has expressed interest in war with Taiwan (not a thing advised by the free market), someone needs to address that.

In terms of economics, this is a net loss, but then again, the effects of war in Taiwan would be worse.

Average productivity per manufacturing worker in the US grew on average by 3% per year in the 1950–1980s and 4% per year in 1990s (https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2002/06/art4full.pdf), i.e. its current output is comparable with that of ~50m people working in 1969, so a 30% decrease in total manufacturing employment was probably well compensated for (putting aside the social welfare point of view).
Another common use case is "I wonder where all my family went after $War"; some families are still trying to figure out where their parents' families ended up at after WW2, or if they survived at all.
> "The product was not ours. It was only that it had our brand on it"

That's whitewashing. If they license the brand, they should control every aspect of manufacturing. Otherwise they are irresponsible. If I was their client, I wouldn't trust them any longer and return all pagers.

I am curious about the technical details - where were the explosives packed, how were they connected and triggered? Did any pager survive and didn't blow up?
Many countries don't.
that's part of it; marc andreessen's nimby posture in the atherton zoning discussion, for example, was pure rent-seeking: https://archive.fo/MjHa8

(i know that's from the 'david miscavige leads scientology to milestone year' atlantic, but i think in this case their reporting is authentic)

but i don't think that's all, or even a majority, of it. rent-seeking is at least beneficial to the rent-seeker, if successful. but most of the problem is people fighting with each other in ways that aren't profitable even to themselves. a lot of that takes the form of arguing about how to assign blame for problems instead of solving them ;)
