Bingo. In a fair system everyone would have equal redress against bad journalism. In practice rich people can afford to destroy organizations giving them bad press or exposing their misdeeds.
Not just China, the UK does it too. The UK tries to hide it, painting the cameras grey and using indirect lighting. In China they paint the cameras yellow and use a flash bulb (!) to photograph the drivers' faces on roads.
The fact that this website even exists is more evidence that your claim that its taboo is bollocks. We clearly can talk about it, we are talking about it now, and the only person screaming "racism" and "nazi" is you.
I guess we will never know, since that referendum will probably never be run.
It was kind of incredible seeing people interviewed on national TV and happily admitting that they couldn't understand it though. Or even worse, claiming that they understood it but that no one else did so they were voting against it.
It seems to require some kind of voter registration. As we know, registration is one of the most effective voter suppression tools. Any system needs to ensure that everyone eligible can vote.
I'd say that's even more important than detecting small scale fraud or better than human level count accuracy.
The other issue is that people won't trust blockchain. They won't understand it, they will associate it with bitcoin and scams and crime. Sadly the system has to be simple enough for idiots to understand.
An example of this was the alternative vote in the UK. A concept so simple that a child could grasp it instantly, but somehow voters couldn't grasp it. I think it was mostly because they were told that it was confusing, and lacked the will to actually find out for themselves.
That's a fascinating document. It's no wonder he was fired when he was creating conspiracy theories about good co-workers being terrorists, or openly supporting forced electro-shock therapy to correct what he thought were wrong thoughts.
Also, don't play the Nazi card. Literally no one accused him of being a Nazi.
âoeThese sex differences in neuroticism are not very large, with biological sex perhaps accounting for only 10 percent of the variance.â The other 90 percent, in other words, are the result of individual variation, environment, and upbringing.
You say "society" doesn't mention this fact, but I see it mentioned all the time. Slashdot, Twitter, mainstream news, blogs, TV... I think it's a very well known statistic, and often forms the basis of arguments.
In fact, BLM seems to have acknowledged it and moved on to the arguments over why it's that way literally years ago.
So well researched and reasoned that the authors of the two papers he relies on the most have publicly stated that he didn't understand them, and that his conclusions are wrong.
The basic mistake he makes repeatedly is to assume that the variations the papers discuss have vastly more effect and influence than they actually do.
Thing is even if convicted now he likely wouldn't face much punishment. Any custodial sentence would likely be accounted for by time stuck in the embassy. The sentence would probably be light anyway because his reason for doing it is genuine fear of rendition and torture.
The only thing really keeping him there is that fear, warranted or not.
The more obvious and simpler explanation is that, like every workplace, if you start distributing controversial stuff it eventually becomes an issue. People ask you to stop because it's primarily a workplace, not a political debating forum, and if it's bad enough you can get fired.
Thanks, that answers my question. Many places don't have such a limitation, e.g. in the UK there are now investigations into abuse that happened decades ago.
Constructing something that large in solar orbit is much harder than living on Mars. You have to get all the materials up there, do a lot of construction in zero G and handle solar radiation.
On Mars you can build factories and use local resources. No need to expend vast amounts of energy escaping a gravity well for a lot of your materials. Existing tech works well in gravity.
Then when you are living there you don't need a closed system or imported water and air.
I'm looking for cash so I can spend it on an AMD CPU, not a voucher for more Intel crap. The law backs me up here - the UK Sale of Goods Act require Intel to either fix the problem quickly (impossible) or give me cash in compensation.
I've had about 50% of the expected life out of my systems with Intel CPUs. Of course, writing the CPU off (server is now unable to cope with the workloads I require) means also replacing the motherboard, RAM and OS (Windows 8 doesn't support modern CPUs). Unfortunately I'll need to replace the PSU as well (long story), and spend several hours working on the change over.
I already opened a support case with Intel about this. After that it's small claims court.
Slashdot Mirror
One of the open issues is because it doesn't handle NaN passed as the length parameter... Holy crap JavaScript is amazing.
This unaccepted pull request to fix it is hilarious: https://github.com/stevemao/le...

You ask "what are some good replacements for last week's framework?" on Stack Exchange.
That's what Stack Exchange is. Lurching from one fad to another, with bad advice and half baked ideas from start to finish.
Interesting to know if you have a better example of how to interview someone.
The fact that this website even exists is more evidence that your claim that its taboo is bollocks. We clearly can talk about it, we are talking about it now, and the only person screaming "racism" and "nazi" is you.
If he didn't make an error then why does the author of the paper he cites as the source of the information say he is wrong?
The difference is that the Damore memo made his job impossible to do.
Thanks. I really can't say that enough... The site might have died under Dice.
I know people who didn't realise aluminium and aluminum were the same thing, so different is the pronunciation.
Google had self diving cars without a steering wheel years ago. They worked fine, just confined to a limited area and routes and 25 MPH max.
They would be fine for a lot of uses, like airport transportation or city public transport.
In cases like that they usually require the recipient to pay the tax.
The EU requires all members to have sales tax within a certain bracket (around 20%) and it is always paid.
I guess we will never know, since that referendum will probably never be run.

Should have seen the warning signs back then.
A nice idea but I can see two flaws.
It seems to require some kind of voter registration. As we know, registration is one of the most effective voter suppression tools. Any system needs to ensure that everyone eligible can vote.

They already asked for him to be recognised as an ambassador, and the UK rejected their request.
