an assumption. it is a nonrational assumption. there was no way of knowing it.sides engaged in the same thing. these doomsdaye plans, who argue more weapons have a chance for permanent peace and a threat to national arerity, their policies based on nonrational assumptions rather than fact. it is because these facts could not be known. that does not make the policy apparatus one that was and rational. i'm also arguing the opposite and making the case the piece applicants who said you needed to stop nuclear weapons, there were in fact making sense. they were rational and sane. promulgated by those two naive. it evolved into a pragmatic policy with the help of a dedicated group of activists, most of them initially outside political power. what i chasten my book is this path from the extra governmental diplomacy of these peace a transnational politics of peace that got the ear of the political elite. it took a lot of back channel diplomacy and pressure to make political leaders see the rationality of that politics of peace. showcase this irrational foundation of the

that turned out to be a soft hundred false assumption of our human nature. liberalism also has a assumption about that as well. we are radically self making selves. i taught a miss free self fashioning creatures. i think when taken to an extreme which i think it has been taken today, that is also a false ideology. can our political order pull itself back from what seems to be a falsely ideological view or will it meet the same fate as communism did. what's not defeated by next journal entity. it became unsustainable becauses it was not able to shore up its own to leave a bull's him. >> i just want to thank you for book tv. i have one short question for the professor. is there an overlap between liberalism and conservatism. >> thank you, sir. >> well, in many many respects, it seems that we have called conservatism is really just a version of liberalism. one of the main points of my book. in the american political order, it has basically been an expressionism of early liberalism. especially upon free markets. freeing people from constraints or -- what we call

everybody is still waiting for that but the assumption is yes because he has pleaded not guilty to the charges so how can he sort of prove his innocence if he doesn't at the same time then say to the prosecution it wasn't me but it was these other people it was people close to the government and of course in the center and the focus of all this is he's camry he is the chief of staff of the prime minister who left office just a week ago hurriedly he had been investigated by police then they let him go which led to another surge of public anger and keys to sort of like the man behind a lot of the corrupt dealings on this island he is really deeply implicated and the demand is even by the cabinet now the demand is to pull him back in 2 to ask him what he knows about these things and the murder of the journalist because the general assumption is and the idea is that he might directly have to do with it and that would mean that the whole scandal would sort of lead in to the office of the prime minister and that he would have to sort of be counted and that he will have to be investigated in

and it was one of the bounding assumptions but we focused on the unmanned systems for go the navy has a program of record to buy 68 operational models and to early models i'm not sure what they call them. the 68 aircraft are over the lifetime of the acquisition program. the operational requirement is for five orbits and four planes a piece. twenty airplanes worldwide. and we started to think that the major isr platform to fill this targeting requirement or proble problem. could they pull off this 24/7 365 day problem? we see no friendlier allied contributions to this. that's probably not reasonable you will likely have friends and allies helping us locate aggressor platforms but for the purposes of inquiry to focus the ability to support the operational requirement that we think is useful. received a representative level of posture for both the united states and china during peacetime. peacetime. remember that. looking to bolster the conventional deterrence by denial of the united states navy and we do that by putting more and more powerful forces forward that are supplied by sufficie

is that a safe assumption to say that they know? that also kind of limits, it is also limiting if they really could see everything we were doing and everywhere we were. >> i think the technical term for the perception that the chinese enjoy targeting ubiquity within the first island chain, technical terms, it is crap. things like sunspots, things like weather patterns, things like maintenance of facilities. things like nutrition. all kinds of things go into what the probability of detection is at any one point in the ocean from some other point on the globe. we tend to think, and people tend to think that there is this pizza wedge and it is seafloor to 100,000 feet. if you are in there, they will find you. that is just not the way that it is. it is hard to do. it is really hard to do. there are tools that will make things easier. the concept that they have at all and there is just wrong. the concept that i have that we should be able to do the same thing within the first island chain is hard. weather gets in the way. see state gets

is is just an assumption the question is based on assumption yes of course but i'm asking you is this something that you think could work in nigeria in cannes or even in africa it will walk somewhere and it will not walk somewhere what is your prediction my prediction is. that. people that is in line with their culture will accept and those that see it as negative will reject this is my assumption it's one who we were able to do one thing that is empower and creates awareness and 1000 began to change give them education because these had people that are given by it so if you want a light in them and give them a when is that if you need this is the point is that will happen if there is a population crisis in the country so it's left for you to lead the type of the number of children that you are going to be giving birth to you can talk to the husband look i'm not able to get married because of i'm not ready to go but because of my health condition because you can enlighten them even to people in the areas and once in the city so information for you is what would they mom is refusing bu

and my understanding from the presentation and under -- you make certainly some assumptions with that. it was approximately in today's dollars $1.6 million to restore and another $1 million to site. is that correct? yeah, $2.6 million. so it's not an insignificant amount. in fact it's more than any individual piece of artwork or sculpture that we will commission on the island. this far exceeds any new commission that we might have, so it's something that we would have to work on as far as funding, but we would look at it. i think the more important question to look at is where, and i think that's something we can look at as our landscape and development team is looking at more appropriate places because there's a lot that's happening on the island. some of it -- and we've actually got a whole roster of incredible landscape architects and architects working on the island. so we want to make sure that we find a place that does the fountain justice but overall that it fits within the overall plan of the island. so i would suggest if the plan and the development team can start to look at

agenda item number 9 is a hearing to review the performance audit of the city's assumption of the housingauthorities essential function, prepared for the board of supervisors by the budget and legislative analyst. >> first up, i would like to welcome mr. campbell from the legislative office to perform on the san francisco housing authority transition. miss campbell. >> good morning. i have a brief presentation on our audit of the city's assumption of the san francisco housing authority's essential function, but also, i'll speak to the resolution before you approving the mou between the city and the housing authority and retroactively approving the $20 million loan from the mayor's office of housing to the housing authority. so, our audit scope is to sort of look at the impact of the reported financial shortfall of the housing authority in 2018 and do a prospective analysis of the city's assumption of the housing authority's functions and just sort of context the housing authority, the two major roles are the oversight of public housing and of housing vouchers. they're about 12,000 voucher

but we are slipping into assumptions that every pa ralympian we are slipping into assumptions that everydition and i couldn't walk and that, to me, doesn't seem inspirational. when you go on the field of play, it can be different, but just being disabled field of play, it can be different, butjust being disabled doesn't mean to say you are inspirational. and i think it is quite hard for some people understand why a lot of disabled athletes feel really strongly about this. but in my day—to—day life, i don't think i am inspirational. it always feels a bit strange to be called that. however, it is nice as an athlete to think that you've done something to change the world for disability sports. so it's a really company and argument. but for me, sport should be covered by sport, and when people are competing we talk about sports, and around the edges you can talk about how someone became disabled or how they acquired their impairment. you can hear more from dame tanni on the stumps, wheels and wobblies podcast, available on bbc sounds. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the pap

this was on some kind of assumption, some kind of forecast that the u.s. and china would move towards what was called a phase one trade deal. in this case president trump casting doubt on the idea that this will get done any time soon, maybe not until after the election next year is the reason why markets are selling off with the force they are. this is not a situation where everybody is saying oh, my gosh, everything is done. this is a situation where the markets are handicapping in realtime what's happening. we're about 2% of record highs. the reason it's so important is this is the biggest downside move we've lad in quite some time. all of this is based on trade. wilbur ross was on cnbc earlier today saying china wants to get a deal done, they think they will get a deal done. but also, if a deal doesn't get done by december 15th, those tariffs on all products in china that aren't currently taxed will be taxed going forward. craig, that's the reason you're seeing the moves we're seeing today. >> dominic chu, thanks for helping us make sense of all of it.

what is wrong with that assumption that all will be well again once trump is gone. what is wrong with that assumption that all will be well again once trump is gone. sixty some million of our fellow citizens voted for that guy. they believed the elites that they have failed them the indispensable nation presiding over a peaceful world order have worked the claim that globalization the neo- liberal economic policies on the planetary scale was going to make everybody rich. somehow it didn't work out. it left a lot of people behind. i think those are the factors that set the stage on those complaints. our not to go away. all of this talk about the impeachment as coup. on the one hand you say that is really inflammatory language if indeed he is removed from office. there is can be a whole bunch of our fellow citizens who are going to be mighty angry and it does seem to me that the rest of the political establishment and the republican party here. need to anticipate that it begin to think seriously about what can be done to address the complaints of the people that voted

it was an assumption a lot of cartoonists made early in the election and early in the presidency. they drew him as stupid. cartoonists that got to live longer came around on that. at this point this is how he is depicting him, under the control of dick cheney and his father. and ignorant about world affairs. this was drawn during the 2000 presidential election. as you can see in the last year and a half of his life, again the ideas are solid. he's coming up with an opinion. and he's able to see a way to express it. he is using with his pen. the white house as an institution, as a substitute for the sitting president, appears quite frequently in his cartoons when he wants to talk about policy rather than institution, as a substitute for the sitting president, appears quite frequently in his cartoons when he wants to talk about policy rather than personality. that can be the white house in conflict with congress, because there are separate parts of government. he brings that up in some of his cartoons. it can also be the supreme court, i haven't brought any white house versus suprem

in much of trademarks policy is built on this assumption. the assumption that if the market company has a retaking of the company has a voice find a different market is just as good. but we have reached a stage of economic development of which is no longer true. devious is what we are talking about, our research shows that it and using conservative matching protocol 89 percent of the time, and we speak english, we are using a word that is already been registered, as a trademark or is confusingly similar with an already registered mark. consider there at least 68 percent of americans carry this for your which the same is true. her surname has already been registered or is confusingly similar with an already registered one. they have more or less than likely been born is it too late to register their own name is and more. in certain categories in goods or services. meanwhile, new applicants are increasingly shifting towards going towards. another more complex and less effective marks. yet even these efforts are increasingly failing. in our res

nations and my working assumption is that many of the aspirations that generation has are not dissimilar to the aspirations we have in the west for our children. are we doing enough to engage that generation. so our policies have to be very carefully calibrated here because it is a very, how can i played a very plastic moment and who we align with. the simple challenges i put it are we going to end up on the right side of history. that is how deep the changes and i put the same question here to in the united states. it is unstable, it is uncertain and, we have a view of stability which includes acknowledging the popular will has a role if it's acknowledged and many of the other players do not represent what i call a sort of easy liberal as opposed to liberal approach to politics and that is where we have to work out whether stability from the burial of a gun can be replaced by stability created by more participatory politics which is what is being forced on some of these countries. >> you know one of the issues for europe and i think for the u.s. is in a world where there is so many diff

continuously making assumptions including assumptions people sitting no matter how poorly we do it. you have to do it to survive but be aware that just because you can't think of the other reason these things could happen, especially if you watch the news, that doesn't mean the one reason you've been given is the reason. talk about the 48 hour rule where you should just wait 48 hours when you see somebody in the news that makes your blood boil and you think how could i happen? then two days later, they said it didn't actually happen. we got that wrong. so just wait a couple of days before it dissipates before you get too worked up. >> excellent. we have a number of questions from the audience. why do dogs details way when he sees people? >> the characters are mostly versions of me. you have lots of different personalities all inside of you, dog as part of my personality that does things i couldn't do because i would be beaten up or jailed. but the thoughts, i just don't do them. i would like to show his delight by his tail because my balls are enough so i got ears and a tail to work

with the elite card, there is an assumption that they make more money and will spend more.orry, merchant. you will pay a little more. you will win in the end is the thinking. >> i think historically that is what visa and mastercard have thought. these people come in and have way more buying power. their ticket sizes are on average larger. that has been the justification. retailers are coming back and saying -- if i'm a gas station or a grocer, people with these high rewards credit cards are not necessarily spending more on gas or groceries. those retailers are saying -- we are reaching our breaking point. our margins are already thin. we need the break here. carol: turning lemons into lemonade at lululemon again. my exclusive conversation with the lululemon ceo and the private equity investor who wins big on the retailer and comes back to fix it. carol: great story. this is bloomberg. ♪ carol: welcome back to "bloomberg businessweek." jason: you can also listen to us on the radio. including on am 11 in new york. carol: a.m. 960 in the bay area. and always on the bloomberg b

you have to make assumptions to live. you cannot live without continuously making assumptions including what people are thinking no matter how poorly we do it you have to do it to survive but just be aware just because you cannot think that another resource could happen especially watching the news that doesn't mean the reason given is the reason i talk about the 48 hour rule if you see something on the news that make sure blood boil how could that happen then two days later the news says we got that wrong. that didn't happen so just wait a couple days before you get too worked up about anything. >> why does dogbert's tail always wag when he does evil? [laughter] >> they are versions of me if you have a lot of different personalities dogbert is the part of our personality that says and does the things i could not do because i would be beaten up or jailed. but i think those things i just don't do them dogbert can do them he wags his tail so i have ears and a tail to work with that's it. >> when you find yourself using lose

their assumptions are wrong. i tried them all. using different lines to show variation or uncertainty or whatever. none of them is completely effective so i don't know yet. we may come up with different centers, the national hurricane center is working on making these maps more understandable. i don't know what the outcome will be. i have nothing against these maps. i don't think the cone of uncertainty is a bad graphics, only that it is not properly explains. i wrote a piece for the new york times explaining how to read these graphics and i saw people, friends of mine who didn't know how to read the graphic before but now they know how to read the graphic because i explain it to them. sometimes it is not just a function -- it is the function of the explanations we attach and presents to the public. who knows? the future may be an animated version of this map where the national hurricane center explains how to interpret these maps. i believe in putting human face to the data we present. who knows? the role of the mediator. more qu

often times it is the assumption, but not always.you just go back and look at snap or facebook, the early years of theseinompanies c public have not been their best years, snap's gone down, facebook went sideways for 2 1/2, 3 years, sometimes missing out on that initial ipo pop is not necessarily a bad thing. i think there's plenty of money to be made later, i can argue both sides, i think it's the preipo i mosobject to. recently certainly nancy, what does that tell you about the overall market >> i aually think thelop of many of these ipo's is good news for the market. for the sustainability of the mabull et, what we see is a blowoff right at the time whenh all ipo's were offered in the late '90s, tt was an indication that we were at a market top, they sored no matter what they did. many of them were amazon look-akes tha were amazon i think the fact that investors are being discriminating is t a gong for those of us who would like to see this bull market extend >> before we let you go, we're all remembering paul volker toda t what a

and the assumption that we were the player in this region, i think, is changing. now, where that will go is the -- is huge. n terms of its implications. it behooves us where we fit. if we agree that there is a new generation emerging which is going to be decisive in how we decide the interest of their communities, their nations. and my working assumption is that many of the aspirations that generation has are not dissimilar to the aspirations we have in the west for our clirn. are we doing enough to engage that generation? so, our policies have to be very, very carefully calibrated here because it's a very -- how can i put it? plastic moment. and who we align with -- i mean, the simple challenge that we put it through, certainly the states of the european union iser are we going end up on the right side of history? that is how deep the change. is and i put the same question here too in the united states. it is unstable. it is uncertain. we have a view of stable which includes acknowledging that the popular will has a role if it is cknowledged. many of this other p

the point is that we have to make assumptions to live, right, you can't live and operate in the world without continually making assumptions of what people are thinking no matter how poorly we do it, we have to do it to survive, just be aware that just because you can't think of the other reason that these things could happen, especially if you're watching the news, that doesn't mean that the one reason given is the reason, in fact, i talk about the 48 hour rule where you should just wait 48 hours when you see something in the news, you know, makes your blood boil, how could that happen, how could that happen and 2 days later the news says, well, that didn't actually happen, it seems we got that wrong. so just wait a couple of days until the fog of war dissipates before you get too worked up about anything. >> why do dog birds tail wag? >> it's a version of me, personalities all inside you, dog bird is part of personality that says and does things i eouldn't do because i would be beaten up for jailed. dog bird doesn't have eye or a mouth, i have ears and tail, that's about it. >> he's

that assumption seemed to equally all interventions in cities with the work of villains like the notorious robert moses and in contrast, the ideal of postwar cities was thought to be best articulated by the more saintly jane jacobs with her message of anti-planning, hands off, let neighborhoods and cities develop organically on their own. surely i thought the story must be more complicated than a clash of these two very extreme and often caricatured positions. i certainly knew that urban renewal from the late 1940s into the 1970s had some quite the flaws such as excessive demolition and dislocation of residence were often african-americans and other minorities. a problematic in the sub separating residents work and retail, imposition of urban car oriented screwed schemes on downtown and highways that slashed through neighborhoods but on the other hand, i also knew that many american cities were truly in trouble by the late 1940s and in need of help. after a decade and a half of a devastating great depression followed by the deprivations of wartime, cities were bleeding people, jobs and muc

make whatever base case assumption you make and tell us your thoughts.this chart that underlines what citi says what happens, suggesting u.k. 10 year yields will be at 0.2%. we'll see a cut from interest rates from the bank of england and qe in 2021. what are your thoughts? bob: i think that's possible. it depends who wins and their appetite for fiscal stimulus. it's a running the central banks are still in this position that as bond investors, we're still in this position. we're inviting governments to borrow. we've taken real rates into negative territory. come, issue, borrow, spend fiscally. it doesn't matter if there's a tory government that gets in who doesn't want to spend or a moderate government that does want to spend. the bond markets are open to borrowing and spending. anna: that sounds very generous. bob: aren't we a generous sort? su: i remember the average --anna: i remember the adage, if you come back, come back as the sort. what is it the gilt market can absorb here? this is very relevant to what we're seeing pay -- play out in politics.

and these clearly are the assumptions that were held by american revolutionaries. and the first is that the individual is the primary unit of moral and political value. and the second assumption was their rejection of the initiation of physical force. in certain ways, the idea of rights should be seen in opposition to the principle of force. and more particularly the initiation of force. so if i walk up to you and punch you in the nose, right? i have initiated physical force against you. if i tie you up to a tree i have initiated physical force. and so the concept of rights, the rights of nature, the rights of man, was the concept itself was developed largely in the 17th century, mostly let's say beginning with locke and then developed in the 18th century and particularly really fleshed out by american revolutionaries. it begins with the individual as the primary unit of value and it rejects the initiation of physical force as a value, right? all right. so, now we can turn to a definition. how did american revolutionaries understand, how did they define the concept

what assumption where the operating assumption going in did not turn out to be correct and how did you course correct? >> it's a lot of money for any of us to invest in these upscaling programs. it is important to make sure we get the results, so there's a few things we do on the front end, and i will share with you where we have had to evolve our thinking as well. we look for four key things when we start these programs. first is we have to meet employees where they are. we have to find ways to is moved -- to remove as much friction as possible for employees to be able to access the information. we actually build classrooms in the fulfillment center. we build them behind glass walls so their peers can see them do it, but they do not have to commute. virtual training is another great way to do it. virtual access. weond big thing we do is build these programs by amazonian's for amazonian's, so we make sure we are connecting with the population we are actually serving, by having our own employee is designed and developed programs, they are the insure they will develop something that make

the second part is that there is an assumption that people a false assumption people were members ofcommunist party during that period didn't love america. your father i'm sure loved america as much as my father did i father fought in world war ii for four years and and lead the black units that went to okinawa. the thing about today is that everything seems upside down. then the fbi was from my family's perspective the bad guys were out in my father. now the fbi is trying to find the truth. then it was russia considered evil by conservatives and now embracing russia. everything is kind of discombobulated today. >> david maraniss, do you remember resentment or fear during this period in the household? >> one of the interesting things is that i never felt Ãb my father would talk about, like for joe mccarthy or richard nixon who was in on the house of american Ãbefore that. because he was in a different place i never allowed myself to think until i was doing this book about what might have been going on inside my dad from 1957 when we got to madison until he retired. his anxiety he mig

pictures of web pages and analyzing the links between the web pages and using them to make some assumptions about relevance and so if you're looking for some history of abraham lincoln and there's a bunch of links to cross the web pointing to a particular site that must mean that this page is the quote unquote most relevant . now they had to figure out how do we make money off this we've got an index how do we make money well they figure out how to do that it's pretty simple all you do is track people searches your search history has a very very informative that's going to tell someone immediately whether you're republican or democrat whether you like one breakfast cereal versus another that's going to tell you whether you're gay or straight it's going to tell you thousands of things about a person over time because they can see what websites you're going to and where do they go did they. go to porn site they go to a shopping site and they do website looking up how to make bombs this information essentially are building blocks they are constructing a profile of you and that profile is a rea

epic number of years and i think that russia's i mean before today's decision there was an assumption widespread assumption that there would be a blanket ban and in other words russia as a nation would be banned but so would every russian athlete be banned as well they wouldn't even be allowed to compete mutually that means but i think what's happened here is that what it in its attempt to deter russia from appealing this decision a said you will be suspended as a nation but individual athletes if they can prove their innocence they will be allowed to compete it's as if they're saying to them you know don't appeal this whatever you do and we'll let you get away with submitting individual competitors that seems to be the deal that's been brokered here and my feeling good well i don't know but russia may not even bother appealing this. i would love to continue this conversation for that's all we have time for now hopefully we'll get another opportunity ellis cashmore professor of sociology at aston university my guest thank you like i will be staying with this story bringing you updates
