One can't exist without the other. The difference between them and the west is that this will occur by definition in China: people will die before one succeeds at the others expense. In the west, the profits own the state, so they are both tied together.
That's not quite right. They are the same as in they are both for sale to various industries. The industries that own them aren't the same. Right now I'd say republicans are owned by defense, telecom and are polluted the most with the interests of the independently wealthy. Democrats are owned by wall st., much high-tech, and are polluted with numerous single-issue things like environmental activists etc.
Both, of course, are entirely owned by Hollywood, whatever they may complain about on their news programs. Beyond social politics, there's rarely complaint about even the most egregious copyright witch hunt laws unless the general public catches wind.
A stereotypical homeless woman who wanders around the streets with bags of "stuff" she has collected, frequently recovered from garbage cans. The bags are frequently piled high in shopping carts, with other bags being held in a free hand and often even attached to her back. When the police crackdown on the homeless these women can be seen obsessively gathering up their bags and hauling them off to some other place. It's a real thing if you spent any time in a big city like New York. (Often in this case, the bags are full of recyclable cans and bottles, which return $.05/unit returned at recycling centers...or did 10 years ago when I lived there)
It's probably rude in polite company to use this term about an actual bag lady, it's ruder still to apply this to someone's appearance. But in the past one can be rude and crude and you simply ignored and avoided him. Now it seems as if a portion of the population feels empowered to make their own random comments based largely on ignorance and a misguided sense of judgement via Twitter. Turn-about is fair play I guess, but whatever happened to "taking the high road"?
terminator style autonomous drones/robots killing everything in sight
Still safer than a nuke. Or even an errant conventional missile. Civilians are killed in war, often intentionally. A war that is "too safe" is a war that you won't hold your leaders accountable for, and thus is a war your side won't want to give up on.
The only way to effectively ban a weapon is to convince the user that the weapon is potentially as or more dangerous to him than to the enemy. Otherwise you're passing laws but wasting time. Useful for the US to bully smaller countries about when it suits them, but there's no way it's going to stop any of the major powers. Unless we can convince ourselves that it's too risky, and I really don't see that argument here.
Not really much of a secret, I don't care much about football or sports in general, but I have noticed them placing the ball at the yard marker before. People only complain when their side is "hurt".
Let's even assume these are benign and not conveying any big brother information at all (which I doubt). What are these things doing and why? Don't spin it, explain it.
DNS - Well understood network fundamental (for most of us, anyway) NetBIOS - Well understood network fundamental (mostly) NTP - Well understood, totally optional
Spurious HTTP accesses by "probably UWP apps"? That's probably not ok, more info required. Attempts to access a Microsoft Teredo server (and sometimes failing)? That sounds broken, turn it off. Various cloud hosts? That's probably not ok, more info required.
That the machine is making unbidden accesses to the network at large without asking me is wrong (and OS X and most Linux distros do some of this too, although in the latter cast it is USUALLY to an update server, which I would approve but should have been asked first).
What does this mean? I think I understand that if the sun moves away quickly we will not notice this for a few minutes (time for the wave to go from the sun to us). I do not know what then is "instant".
Maybe RedHat Siberian. Ships with a 20 year old kernel, nothing but Vi (no Vi, not Vim) and if you attempt to run binaries that require root privileges your home directory will be mapped to dev null and you will be logged out. Permanently.
Come on a few hundred miles south to austin, where our brain dead road crew failed to properly stripe the lines on mopac during construction and people were crashing in to each other left and right until they fixed it.
What you can get away with in a relatively less populated area is different than what you can get away with in a heavily congested area. People are not going to slow down when their commute is already >1hr. They're going to drive like cows in stampede.
I have noticed that Public education is getting better in the US
I disagree, the article has some very telling things to say between the lines:
The students are being produced by a new pedagogical ecosystem—almost entirely extracurricular—that has developed online and in the country’s rich coastal cities and tech meccas.
Parents of students in the accelerated-math community, many of whom make their living in stem fields, have enrolled their children in one or more of these programs to supplement or replace what they see as the shallow and often confused math instruction offered by public schools, especially during the late-elementary and middle-school years
My conclusion is, also based from what I see from my own kids in Texas public schools, are that parents who know what they're doing, and are already in the field, are feeling compelled to give their kids extra-curricular instruction in math, wherever they can find it, to augment the generally poor math being taught to "the normals" (by which I mean everyone who simply attends public school). Not only is there no push for better math, it is intentionally dumbed down even from when I was in school. What school or government sponsored math enrichment exists, exists in precisely the form the article describes: math competitions. To take the math programs here in Austin (varies wildly by school and ISD), you have to commit your kid to participating in these stupid competitions. It's not about learning math, it's about being #1. Bad news: only one guy can be #1. But the world needs many, many people who know math and science very well in order to field the workforce required for further progress, or indeed simply to staff existing jobs as us old farts age out.
Public schools themselves are still very much behind the ball, all we're actually seeing is our elite outperform the other team's elite. What we need to see is a significant rise in overall mathematical literacy across the board.
Even back when magazines were still a thing, that was a subscription I could have lived without. Wired is the Forbes of the tech world: orthogonal to reality, intentionally obtuse and frequently irrelevant.
Ad blocking is a good thing, it helps zombies ease the transition back to the grave.
Not true, if you call "siri" a useless bitch, she will make some sort of comment. Of course, only if she understands you, which is 99% of the reason I call her a useless bitch.
You could replace the fingerprint sensor with something that could provide arbitrary fingerprints, possibly based on a collection you have made of them. Then use your collection to buy stuff. Requires no memory in the sensor at all. This is much faster than creating molds of fingerprints and applying them to the sensor. I can see Apple not wanting to tolerate replacing things tied in to your CC #.
Replacing a battery seems less defensible to me, if that aspect is true. It's hard to argue this is tied in to any trust chain.
Well I still submit my antarctic born, hogwarts attending, international, two-spirit gender facebook avatar has sabotaged someone's productivity and finances. At the very least a past employer on whose dime I created it, and whatever big brotherish agencies are slurping facebook and have the unholy job of fumigating the nonsense. Most of my uploaded photos are of cats I do not own, internet memes I didn't create, and lately every derp face Trump picture ever taken. The latter itself could fill a sizable storage array.
Still, i can do what passes for interaction with my family in a synthetic and non-time consuming way, which is all facebook has ever been good for anyway.

t. State Power is more important than profit
One can't exist without the other. The difference between them and the west is that this will occur by definition in China: people will die before one succeeds at the others expense. In the west, the profits own the state, so they are both tied together.
the parties are exactly the same.
That's not quite right. They are the same as in they are both for sale to various industries. The industries that own them aren't the same.

You can look at the watch. Anyone not wearing the gold one is inferior.

gravity can be viewed as having an instant effect
What does this mean? I think I understand that if the sun moves away quickly we will not notice this for a few minutes (time for the wave to go from the sun to us). I do not know what then is "instant".
Burning bird crap will produce some energy.
I just want to add it if this is the case, it may certainly affect his pull requests.

He objects to manga being considered child porn? Ain't my thing, but doesn't that make him "a sane human being"?
What?!? Gravity is a communist conspiracy.... the matter all just collects together and in extreme cases fuses to become a single entity!
Real americans support big bangs, let the invisible hand of the universe guide your particles.
Further replacing glass windshields with steel will also improve the crash worthiness and improve the strength.
And let's not forget, hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side.

I'd expect drivers are slowing down because the road is less safe without the lines, and are adjusting their speed to reclaim that lost safety factor
And as we know, people are capable of deciding for themselves what is safe. Said every drunk driver, and/or lead foot, ever.
This is clearly an example of cheaping out on proper road work hiding behind some bleeding heart cause. Tar and feather em.

Most of them seem to be trying to get me to donate to their political campaign or charity, which after further research, doesn't exist.

Looks like a classical case of mafia.
