Do you really think we'll have optimization in an era of metrics encouraging developers to approach shipping a million lines of code a month?
Right, it's dystopian if they do it, but utopian if we do. If anything I'd trust Chinese surveillance more. It's accountable to the government not the whims of profit motive and private individuals.
We all know how much local PDs like collecting traffic fines, but I wish they would enforce the laws around yielding to pedestrians with the same enthusiasm as speed limits. I walk a lot and pretty much every day…

CPI functions to obscure disproportionate price increases in essentials by lumping them in with cheapening commodities (e.g. electronics) that have a high demand elasticity. It's as much a choice to to use CPI to come…
I hear this all the time as a rationalization for why people don't go out anymore, but I don't buy it. You're afraid people on the internet might see you having fun? I've had people shove a phone in my face and take…
It's very blatant and below that range. They got many orders for the exact same model that's around $50k.
Watches are the commodity of choice for corruption in some circles. I know people in jewelry and a significant portion of their transactions are watches to Chinese businessmen, formerly through Hong Kong, now through…
Americans like to downplay the impact of the situation of their birth in their successes and others' failures.

The state of the UK suggests to me that Orwell's writing was as much an expression of British post-colonial anxieties as it was an indictment of the USSR. His books are no doubt pushed in US education system for their…
Under qualified immunity cops are all but completely immune to being sued.
More accurate to call it the War for Terror at this point.
Sadly, or not, they still sell the best laptops.
A market economy is just as good if not better at denying "the agency to live their lives as they choose". Do you think the bum on the street or the poor family working paycheck to paycheck have more agency than someone…
They will fall in line as property crime increases.
Is it any surprise when wealth inequality has been increasing in the USA for the past 50 years? Globally the picture is even more bleak.
Universities are just as bad or worse on this front. They will buy up properties with no plan simply because they have the cash to throw around and don't have to pay tax.
So glad we don't have propaganda, only independent journalists who just coincidentally parrot the same think-tank talking points. See the wealth of articles that are even more obviously wrong predicting China's collapse.

If you can't beat them join them. The rest of the world is getting the same thing as China, but less transparent and more hypocritical.
It's tiresome. I would rather read the bullet points he fed in and be done.
