You'll have to be a bit more specific in terms of what exactly people are saying that "belittles the question of consciousness", I haven't see anything in this thread that I took as such.

As to your other statement, Newtonian physics was wrong. It broke down under certain circumstances which are not (largely) encountered under daily live, so our intuition was useless to deceive the faults in it's laws, yet this did not stop people of the time from thinking it was the end-all-be-all set of rules that described physical reality. Newtonian physics is certainly not the branch of physical that would help you understanding free will and agency.

Then Einstein came around, and amended (some of) Newtons problems. Then Quantum Mechanics came around and filled in some gaps in Relativity. QM and Relativity still don't play nice together so in the future, someone else will most likely make further amendments and get us closer to the answer.

But anyways, what I'm getting at, is there seems to be a reaction, perhaps innate to the human psyche to ... hmm... blow a fuse, when faced with an problem perceived to be intellectually intractable. But progress comes, inevitably. Sometimes slowly, and sometimes quick, but always inevitable.

My own thoughts on consciousness is that, of course its generated by the brain, of course it is caused by things that remain solely in the realm of physical reality. Of course (assuming we don't blow ourselves up or the like, as this may take quite some time) we'll not only understand what's going on in the brain, but will be able to build conscious machines, machines which we will quickly find resemble us more closely than machines and at this point will see that the amazing phenomenon we call consciousness is the not the sole domain of humanity, but just the sole example(let's exclude other animals from this thought for simplicity) of such up until that point. It might take awhile though, evolution took a billions of years to get consciousness to this point, I think it's only fair to give humanity a bit more time before we call it a lost cause.

daniel957, the point of a discussion website is to have discussion. If you'd like, we can talk about my comment and try to see if we can find any agreement or not.

It is true that 30+ people died, some of them from police, some, of them from being shot and murdered (chop/chaz/portland), some by other means. It doesn't change the fact that many people died as a direct result of ongoing chaos and anarchy that was largely dismissed as justifiable by the most prominent news organizations and pundits (cnn, nyt, wapo). Two wrongs don't make a right, we need to disavow all violent protests across the board and stop with double standards.

What do you disagree with?
I'm going to sound like an old man but...

What amuses me about this is back in the day everyone thought the Mach guys were crazy for thinking things like network routing and IPC services be implemented in user space... and others mocked the OSI model's 7 layers as overly complex (e.g. RFC3439's "layering considered harmful").

Now we've moved all our network services onto a layer 7 protocol (HTTP), and we've discovered we need to reinvent layers we skipped over on top of it. We're doing it all in user space with comparatively new and untested application logic, somehow forgetting that this can be done far more efficiently and scalably with established and far more sophisticated networking tools... if only we'd give up on this silly notion that everything must go over HTTP.

I like utalu. I suppose you could pronounce it either OO-TALL-OO or YOO-TUH-LOOH or OO-TUH-LOO (which I prefer, because it rolls off the tongue better and sounds really playful).
I remember being so flooded with information that memorizing it would lead to failure. In other words, my classmates that tried to memorize formulas and steps would fail because there were so many of them. Those who internalized the relationship between components and understood why the steps were needed did alright.

One of the best tests to see if rote memorization is taking place, or there is actual understanding is word problems. In ex-Soviet schools they emphasized word problems heavily. In case of a word problem it is very hard to memorize the steps like one would do for a Gaussian reduction.
Regarding the sneaker example, this is an example of a Veblen good, which are bought specifically for the status given to the brand or product:

(There's also Giffen goods, which are similar, but where the lower priced product is inferior. This means that consumers will substitute the product for another if they have the money to do so.)
Oops, I misunderstood the parent comment, and the edit period has passed.
I'm not saying they don't exist, I'm sure there's probably a few of them, but you have to hope they're in your town. And don't have other interesting offers. Furthermore, Chris Dixon's quote wasn't (as far as I can tell) talking about recruiting interns, but recruiting employees and that's an entirely different ballgame in my opinion. These companies don't have money to offer employees or interns, but they will offer equity to employees. What's the chance a company will offer any form of equity to interns? So you're suggesting that rather than "immediate compensation", their compensation is that they have a couple months experience at a successful company? That's much less compelling than what employees are getting (a much greater experience and some equity).

Not every company needs interns, and if you can't afford to pay them, maybe you don't need them quite yet. If you want to recruit people as full-time employees or something, on the other hand, that's an entirely different argument.
Umm, excercising instead of geeking out :)

Amazon and Alibaba are pure consumer plays with a mass audience. They deliberately hide the contact forms to force you through self-service UIs.

If you try the same thing with a B2B or other high-touch service, it's not going to end well for you.

Personally I get a terrific amount of value from interacting with my B2B customers through chats, video calls, and screenshares. The customers love it.
This book sounds awesome. Thanks for the recommendation. :)

Yes, a company that promises to never make a profit, pay out any dividends to its shareholders, or buyback stocks is a pyramid scheme. Your statement here is a bit like saying a credit card is just like bank robbery, if there's no obligation to pay off the balance.

You won't convince many people by citing the Epoch Times, which is a far-right Falun Gong mouthpiece that reports conspiracy theories incuding QAnon and antivax as news.

Ideology is boring, but there are lots of practical objections to cars, especially within cities, and even more practical objections to letting car-friendliness overrule all other considerations:

-Cars don't scale. Cities like LA, Houston, and Phoenix which are designed to be car friendly still have traffic jams.

-Car friendliness is necessarily opposed to pedestrian friendliness, bicycle friendliness, and possibly even mass transit friendliness. For any given street, you're going to have to make a direct design tradeoff between car-friendly and human-friendly.

-Cars are unsafe.

-Cars are energy-inefficient.

-Good urban development patterns--mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods and the like--are incompatible with car-friendliness.

It turns out you can either have car friendliness, or you can have almost everything else that makes for a good place to live. Of course, as you say, it would be better if SF had better public transit than it does--but there's only so much space and money to go around, and highways are pretty expensive, too. (Up in my state, we're spending billions of dollars to replace a damaged viaduct before it collapses and crushes lots of precious, sacred parking close to our sports stadiums. I'd love to say "fuck the viaduct" and improve public transit instead, but then carheads would complain.)
Some call it "Demand Pricing" others call it "AdWords for Parking" -- why yes, we'll be happy to extract the maximum possible value out of our inventory!

Didn't some company used to have a marketplace for public utilities? Remind me how that worked out for California?

With sensors and networking becoming a commodity, I have a feeling these realtime marketplaces are going to start popping up in industries nobody really expects.

I think it's really great IE9 is doing HTML5/SVG/CSS3/etc full steam, but I'd much prefer to see where they are failing too.

i'd be down for expanding courts and enforcing (criminal) laws evenly and justly if we combined that with reviewing and aggressively purging unnecessary and unjust laws first. i'd conjecture we'd lose basically nothing in terms of justice and crime if we did that.

Excellent reply.

As it happens, I've been going through an extremely stressful time since last September. I've learned to sleep by listening to Star Trek while I sleep. I think the sound of familiar voices, and the distraction to prevent me from dreaming naturally (which currently turns into stress nightmares) has really saved me. Two of my colleagues have turned to medication, and I can see they're having a harder time of all this.
Since males are also incarcerated at a rate many multiples of females, is the prison system also sexist?

Or is your explanation for that „that males commit more crimes“?

You might want to be careful applying this logic to the black incarceration rates, then.
Black Americans are 0.5% of the population of the world, but fully 8% of its prisoners. Race is certainly relevant when you're talking about the US.
Ohh, that's cool. I guess I'm kind of burnt out on scrolling, though. Sometimes I wonder how many more spins the hardware in my mouse can take.

I'm in an odd position of trying to form something like this (focused specifically on python development in finance). 2015 is hopefully going to be a good year - I actually have sort-of backing and if I can find time it might take off (god, just reading those caveats makes me wonder)

Anyway - I would be interested in any thoughts or traps to avoid - if indeed we are talking about the same structures.

HN is not civil towards external targets (i.e. bloggers, Microsoft, Zuckerberg, etc), but it is civil in the sense that HN readers are discouraged from attacking each other.

I guess we could learn to not attack the authors or subjects of the articles, but that's not the point. The "civil discussion" rules are there to keep the discussion from degrading into flame wars, not to be nice to bloggers.

Also, not that he uses simple present (HN readers are mean), then only considers one article (his own article about why you should never ever hire a job hopper). Most of the discussions seem fairly civilized to me. I guess you wear a bit of heat if you suggest that a large fraction of your audience isn't worth hiring. The insults weren't pretty, but they aren't typical HN comments.
The civility on HN is unparallelled. This community, with pg's guidance has done an amazing job of fostering a thoughtful community for intelligent discussion. Suster's arguments all focus around one particular discussion in which emotions ran a little higher than usual, and are not, in my opinion, representative of the community as a whole.

As for Suster's suggestions, the first one would be a mistake. There are many situations when a throw away account is warranted, such as asking for anonymous advice on a tricky work situation, or submitting a controversial article.

For the second suggestion, it already exits. Once a user reaches a certain karma level s/he has the ability to down-vote comments.

For the last, an RSS feed on a user's "threads" page would likely be useful to those who wanted to be notified on updated conversations they are participating in.
It's a shame because he's dead right ... It must be difficult waking up every day with that kind of anger ...
Fine, it's bias.... but I like the attitude and love the fact that a primary competing factor between vendors is how compatible with the HTML5 umbrella they are! It's win all round.
Read the article more closely, no Pavlovian response occurred:

"The medium/high caffeine consumers who received the placebo reported a decrease in alertness and an increase in headache, neither of which were reported by those who received caffeine. However, their post-caffeine levels of alertness were no higher than the non/low consumers who received a placebo, suggesting caffeine only brings coffee drinkers back up to 'normal'."

I agree, and that was the feeling I got while watching the 2014 WWDC. Heaps and heaps of unrelated announcements (and the feeling that nothing of exceptional quality would come out of it).

I wish Apple had instead focused, for the whole year, on getting iCloud Photos 100% right. Unlike "flat" redesigns, this could even have turned into passive income for Apple. It hasn't even shipped on OS X and I've already given up on it.
If they'd just frozen OS X at 10.9, everyone could still work on cloud functionality for years before they'd be "finished".
If widely adopted, this could be very useful for holding politicians, corporations, government agencies, or other powerful/influential/public individuals/groups accountable for their statements. It is common practice for such entities to change their websites and then act like their new positions or opinions were the ones they had held all along. We already have tools (e.g. Google's cache) catching weasely acts like this, but a tool like this would make the job a whole lot easier.

Unfortunately, it looks like it only works if the website's owner implements the framework, and the weasels have very little incentive to do so.
I suppose the connection could be "brother from another mother"?
In cases like that, the wealth effect would have to consider the entire value stream, not just an individual transaction.

If the company with products you describe, over many years, lost money consistently and it was not due to just "giving away" product at lower than the market would pay but was truly because the market would not pay the company's cost of production for the goods and services offered, then in that case, the company will have destroyed global wealth.

Happens all the time.
