Yet it is impossible to visit either region without being a part of a government controlled tour group or otherwise being accompanied by government minders. The actual locations where abuses are taking place are prohibited areas.

>provable facts

Yet the human experience is subjective and fallible.

Meanwhile twitter is promoting sponsored tweets from Xinhua. Travel to Xinjiang - Everything is great! Come visit the temples in Lhasa, but be sure to make your reservation in advance!

Simplistic terms don't advance your point. If you do have a point oversimplification only obscures it. Imperialism is neither good nor bad. Only specific acts and actors can be judged as such.

The British empire could be credited for ending slavery. It is the promulgation of liberal western values allows us the context to condemn the barbarity of the past.

History is a process. It seems nonsensical to presume to judge the pioneers of our civilization (by modern standards) while enjoying the benefits they provided.

The popular view of western guilt smacks of condescending nobelesse oblige. At what point does it become purely selfish? Decolonized regions won't put the past behind them as long as they are incentivized not to.

"...detractors of Western imperialism hijack the ideas of Western civilization and crash them into a ditch."

This article made me think of your comment.

Stop writing naive content in meta-description and cards. Use this content as a teaser. Be cynical. Sell your content. Survive.

I read this as 50% of web developers failed to open, so they'll never close.

Think about infant mortality, sanitation or historical practices like suttee.

Notice how these wildlife advocates don't have lobbying offices in these areas. Their property is safe.

Elephants are not destroying their crops/orchards. Rhinos are not smashing their cars. Leopards are not eating their pets, livestock, neighbors or family members.

To avoid false accusations of theft, avoid self-checkout. YMMV.

I understand that people are abusing the system. I can accept that the store has an interest in loss prevention. But I'll never feel comfortable with being checked up on. As a stubborn person, I'll have to start shopping somewhere else when this happens. This means a less convenient location. Where's the time savings in that?

Many here bring their politically charged economic analysis into it. For me I've always wanted to just get home without any undue awkward/impolite scenarios. Nor do I want to navigate the menu system for produce.

Waiting in a longer line is relatively cheap for the peace of mind gained.

You can see the results in 'fetch as Google' and in the structured data tool. Injected JS content is there, including changes to the page title and head.

As always take SEO advice from Google with a grain of salt.

If using a given telephone company were mandated by the government, it would be by definition a government enforced monopoly. Similarly, legal tender laws force businesses to accept USD to settle all debts. From this point, Gresham's law also plays a role.

There is a long history of private policing in the United States.

The Federal Reserve Bank is not owned by the government. It is considered a public private partnership.

There's already a feeless, decentralized cryptocurrency which settles transactions in less than a second.

Libra's selling point will be FB's onboarding of users. It would not be unreasonable to expect dark patters there.

He wrote of being refused by publishers when he was younger. It was his perseverance that brought him through. He never gave up on writing or drinking.

Charles Bukowski immediately came to mind while reading the list of late bloomers.

From my reading corporatism is defined as the government dictating economic policy via various syndicates. I.e. the business owner retains nominal control over the means of production, but the actual production decisions are made by an industry-wide government bureau.

Hardly.

The alternative would be a repeal of legal tender laws. This would allow consumers & businesses to transact in the currency of their choice.

Individuals can simply choose to not use Libra or FB.

Contrast this to abstaining from voting. There will still be a president and a Federal Reserve Bank regardless.

Feels like today there are some libraries that are only offered for Spring. Other than that I have been happy to do as you do with Jetty.

I'll add that autoconfiguration is a symptom, not a solution.

That's fine. Use what works for you. There's more than one way to skin a cat.

It isn't particularly balanced to assume that the spring way is the only way to do things because magicians...

If the OP has that problem with spring then he can use the base servlet API or another solution.

Just avoid bloated frameworks and your problem is solved.

I agree with your observation, but I digress on the historical narrative.

The Roman citizenry willingly gave up their empire to 'barbarian hordes'. The following periods of relative decentralization (middle ages) gave way to greater advancement.

The open west gave way to the gilded age. Likewise, many a webmaster has lamented the era of walled gardens in the same vein as the obsolete cowboy: "Don't fence me in"

Centralized control is a recurring theme, but decentralization is the opposing position of the pendulum. Just as relevant, but not widely celebrated by institutional gatekeepers.

I suggest that the decentralized phase is where value and innovation is created.

Article sounds self-contradictory.

"...could threaten the ability of emerging market governments to control their monetary supply, the local means of exchange, and, in some cases, their ability to impose capital controls."

Read 'emerging' as 'failed centrally planned economy'. The self-described anti-monopolist is defending an failed state monopoly.

"After many mistakes, we have learnt that we want a central bank to act to increase or decrease the monetary supply in moments of contraction or expansion."

Yet he is railing against monopolies fueled by artificially cheap credit and stock buy backs.

They've already asserted that FB data will be used to verify your identity for Libra. Sounds contradictory.

Executing people for possessing pounds of pot won't solve Seattle's issues.

Enforcing vagrancy laws might.

Can be done with dynamic content as well. I'm serving 10-100 per second with postgres, jetty and jstl/jsp on $10/month dedicated servers.

It isn't for everyone. If you are traveling with a bicycle or other heavy luggage it makes sense. For the same price as a plane ticket + bicycle charges you could get a room on Amtrak. This makes even more sense if you are a bicycling couple.

You can sit in your private compartment and drink your own bottle. When you arrive you are already downtown with your own bicycle.

Be the change you want to see. You can only control your own actions. There's no futility in that.

Look towards yourself instead of institutions.

In my experience as a courier and in dirt jump, the helmet puts extra weight on the head and neck at the time of impact. This can make it harder to tuck and roll. Also the size of the helmet adds a few inches, making it harder to avoid the earth/pavement.
