This is the type of crime, that by definition, nobody who has the power to investigate wants to investigate. This most likely was payback for exposing someone's offshore holdings, and the response was chosen to send a message: "Do

Maybe it's about cutting costs for new project ramp up, or maybe they are trying to get rid of leakers / security threats / bad eggs, or both.

You're right I do think there is great harm from wrongspeech. A lot of people think this as well, and there is already alot of social pressure ( good term ) used to police speech on Twitter, blogs, IRL, etc. And there is already some l

First, that things have "always been" one way does not mean they should remain so. And "people are people" is not excuse for bad behaviour. People can choose to be good or bad. Second, there are a really big bunch of cle

It's a very good question. As to a condition required for this to operate safely, I think it depends on having a clear set of morals and values in society that we agree on. The West has lost that after the boom post WWII. Maybe it will

It's a compelling-sounding point, but it lacks nuance. While I don't think many are advocating for a "fantasy land" with magic oracles to give us Perfect Truth, we can certainly approach the truth of guilt or innocence,

I fail at many things everyday, but I did not fail in the way you meant because I did not use 1984 as a neat metaphor. What I meant was people use it as a neat metaphor, by likening anything that smells in anyway similar to 1984 with someth

Which state? Because China's rise is corroborated by governments and press worldwide. Not sure if you're suggesting they're all in on your conspiracy. But even if they were it would probably take a lot of money and influence

Yes, and China is doing very well with regard to economic planning, infrastructure, GDP, development and raising of the middle class standards without democracy, and has done for 70+ years and the Chinese have a long history of being able t

I tend to agree. Just come out at the start honestly and say, "All 3 billion accounts affected at Yahoo", or whatever. I feel angry when I see the numbers gradually going up, I think one reason is because I see it like they'r

I think theoretically more not less sounds technically correct, the problem is we seem to already been enveloped in too much information. So there has to be some filtering, and filtering is basically editorializing, so who decides? I do

I love freedom. There is also currently a lot of precedent for saying there are wrong ways that people talk. Twitter is full of conversations where one person is criticising the other for using a word the wrong way ( and I don't mean g

I understand if you feel otherwise, but I see no unfairness in Nobels going only to project leaders and PIs. I think the sore losers act entitled to something they didn't earn. I don't think that means I'm missing something

It's an unpopular view but I think this is a good start. Why? Violence is supported and enabled by the narratives people use to justify it. Some element of policing & countering the narrative is going to control ideas that embolden

It's a really, really good piece of work. I hope you keep making tutorials. I was impressed with the high ratio of useful content to time spent, and how the full tutorial only seemed to take 10 - 20 minutes. I'm a 6 or 7 year vim

What's wrong with rewarding the project leaders? Yes, being part of the team is one achievement, being leader of the team is another achievement on top of that. Sorry there's not "participation prizes" for everybody,

What I'm interested in, is how can they run this stuff? How is it cost effective for them? How is it safe? Runkit is basically free serverless node. It's pretty amazing. For those interested, the code is here: https://r
