So a Palestinian influence network (Palestinian Centre for Rapprochement between People, that owns imemc.org) is claiming to have exposed Israel's influence network? I wonder if they cleared it with China's influence network and Russia's influence network before announcing it?

For all I know, Luxembourg and Fiji have influence networks.

Yeah, that seems like an odd factor to include. The whole message of fines is supposed to be "don't do these specific anti-social things" not "be sure to factor in the arbitrary charges you'll be hit with".

You'd be surprised at how many people will only see the latter. When they introduced congestion pricing in NYC, there were actually people who were commenting, completely unironically, along the lines of "There's no way I'm going to pay that, I'll just take the train. That'll show em!"

They 100% saw the fee as solely a means to tax residents, and didn't even consider that the primary purpose could be to change behavior.

I saw some wildly ignorant videos on YouTube of objectively wealthy people complaining about needing to driving (a few blocks!) to 59th Street to visit a relative, but needing to pay the congestion fee. I think these people have no idea how insulated there are from the Real World.

That still doesn't clarify: were they saying "many PRs→good" or "many PRs→bad" or "number of PRs is irrelevant" or...?

That PRs == impact.

"[...] plastics had significantly accelerated due to the military’s need during WWII for lighter, more durable materials to create 3D topographical maps"

What?! Citation needed. Lots of topomaps were printed on paper, but I've never heard of the military using 3d plastic maps. Certainly not enough to accelerate the development of plastics. Nor can I find any credible source for the claim.

I think that's supposed to be read as "or"? (I momentarily had the same confusion myself.)

That might be the theme. Or we could be looking at something like:

-- Mythos

-- Fable

-- Fantasy

-- Delusion

-- Pareidolia

-- Psychosis

This is untrue.

I stand corrected, thank you sir

Sounds like security cameras.

I'll bet they installed smoke detectors and emergency lighting and all sorts of other things without telling students either.

I had my PS2 stolen from a dorm at the other SD university. More security cameras would have been a great thing at the time.

More cameras does not equal more security. They aren't put there to protect your property in the same way that HR departments don't exist to protect employees.

No, they're put there to collect grainy images of the perpetrator to distribute after the shooting. It's sad/ineffectual, but still far less nefarious than TFA makes it sound.

What’s the other SD university?

There's also the principle of proportionality.

Is this institution's campus such a dangerous / crime-ridden area that it warrants 1,300 cameras to track everyone everywhere @ all times? Hmm...

Right. 1,300 cameras for over 50,000 people in a hundred or so multi-story buildings spread over a couple of hundred acres...seems proportionate. It's maybe a dozen cameras per building on average?

I'm not a fan of surveillance per se, but acting like this is disproportionate is just silly.

Because its the only way the people who would like to be in power and can't manage to produce anything anyone else wants can see to get themselves put in charge: convince enough other people that despite their freedom, high standard of living, etc. they are somehow oppressed.

tl;dr: Since the AI people have lost interest in the frame problem (because they think they can ignore it like the new wave folks, work around it like Fodor, or like Shanahan, think of it as solved) the philosophers would like it back please.
