Yes, neurons in our brains are dying every day, but it doesn't affect our subjective consciousness. Are you simply saying that uploading, if it were done carefully, would not make any more difference to our subjective consciousness than neurons dying every day?

You wouldn't notice because "you" would no longer exist, by hypothesis. But I would expect that there would also be a huge objective difference in your behavior, easily noticeable by others. The "self-awareness part of your brain" is not disconnected from the rest of your brain and body; if it dies, the rest of your brain and body is going to be drastically affected.
I just finally read the article about why it was getting blocked (TC wouldn't load on my mobile) and it is completely laughable how corrupt SFMTA is about this matter. "Hey you're helping people not pay us!"

Again, tickets are a fucking racket.
I got a ticket once for not turning my wheels on 2nd between Townsend and Brannan. The law is your wheels must be turned if the grade is greater than 3%. The grade, according to the department of public works, is 3.09% (http://bsm.sfdpw.org/subdmap/subd/Key_Maps/319_gm.tif). Next time I'll bring my protractor.

the MTA is too lazy to do a lot of things. They employ antiquated technology and pass the cost of their own inefficiency to the consumer in every place they can.

-Adding money to a Clipper Card from the website takes several days before the credit can be used. Apparently this has to do with the specific scanning hardware they have on the buses and some legacy Translink interoperability issues or something.

-Many of the parking kiosks interface are confusing (I once tried helping a lady only to find out she'd put in $20 because she kept not understanding she had paid).

-Fare-checkers are extremely self-righteous and rude. I once got off the back door of a Muni train because I'd realized my Clipper card was empty. On the way to the front door to pay in cash, the fare-checker told me he was going to write me a ticket because I got on and off the bus and that, despite my honest intention to pay the fare, he was going to write me up.

-Towing is $600, which includes $250some in SF admin fees, $250 is towing, and other other fees the towing company can freely tack on to work around the maximum "towing" fee that the city allows (in my case, a Flatbed Truck fee of $80).

-If you car gets stolen, and the police find it you get a 30 minute "courtesy" window to get to your car before they tow your car and you pay $500-$600 to get it out of the impound.

A friend that works for the city was telling me that the MTA has a lot of inefficiencies because they have humans in the process every step of the way and no incentive to change that. When they need to modify the process, they just add another human and another fee.

I'm sorry, where's that in the article?
Pricing is a complicated topic (or can be), and I don't claim to have mastered it myself. In fact, I'll freely admit that I'm still struggling to figure out all of the details of our pricing model for Fogbeam. There are literally dozens (or more) books written specifically on pricing, so don't feel bad if it all seems challenging.

That said, here are some thoughts based on my own experience and research.

Keep the model as simple as possible (but no simpler?). Nobody wants a complicated pricing model with per-core charges mixed with CAL (client access license) charges, mixed with varying discounts and floating license servers and blah, blah, blah.

The challenge, of course, is how to balance having a simple pricing model, with your desire to charge companies based on the value you provide them. That is, a larger company with more users is (presumably) getting more value from your software and should pay more. So charging per user is a valid option, but it's not the only one. You could charge based on the customer's revenue, or scale the pricing based on the hardware (physical or virtual) required to run the software for their needs.

There's some really interesting stuff in Douglas Hubbard's work on "Applied Information Economics", although I don't really have time to try and explain it all here. But the key of his approach is to try and actually quantify the value of an information system by figuring out a way to measure the factors the system will impact, and then figure out the economic value of improving those factors. That's a little bit of an over simplification, but it's an interesting approach built on calibrated estimation, monte carlo simulations, and elements of modern portfolio theory.

I'd recommend reading the book How to Measure Anything by Hubbard, and/or read the Wikipedia article on AIE[1] and see if you can think of a way to apply this with your customer(s). Ideally, if you get them to buy into the model you create, you have very solid footing for establishing the price of your software, since you can actually put a number to the value it adds.

There's probably a heck of a lot more to be said about all this, but it's bedtime here. :-)

A philosophical zombie is an incoherent concept. The idea that your consciousness could disappear while leaving all of your external behaviors unchanged makes no sense. Your consciousness affects your external behaviors; if you were not conscious, your external behaviors would be different.
Basque, which is one of the oldest, European languages with no direct relationship to any other modern language, uses "ama" for saying mom, and "aita" for saying dad (both putting the stress on the second "a").
It is literally impossible not to bring your gender with you to work. The best you can do is lie about it, conceal it, or downplay it heavily.

What's more, it's a tragedy to even imply this is what we should do. Our unique life experiences are what we're all supposed to draw on in the startup world to make great products. Yet mysteriously women are supposed to pack most of it in because it's controversial when a man is an ass to them.

We reach "gender equality" when it is not a disadvantage to have any gender. Not by pretending gender doesn't exist and forcing everyone to homogenize.

I didn't use the vintage lenses all that much, autofocus and zoom is just much more convenient. Also on the web 4k is pretty much the max viewable resolution. Camera lenses are designed for the sensor resolution which is typically 2-4x that amount, so lens quality almost doesn't matter for pictures viewed on the web.

I chose the GX7 because it's really small and light with decent image quality. If I were getting started now I'd be taking a serious look at the sony A7 M1.

Well, this is very funny indeed. Bookmarked the site.
But catch-alls of that form can be correct.

This isn't terribly relevant to narrow unit tests, where I should be able to know what I expect to have happened and presumably if an assertion pops it won't have happened, but it makes larger scale fuzzing substantially less useful.

Yeah, you're not wrong. In particular, the fact that the SFMTA isn't cooperating with the part of the program that's just supposed to make paying the tickets easier is kind of damning. I'd like to think that better technology could make enforcement cheaper, more consistent, and thus drive down penalties, but there are enough rent-seeking bastards involved to give me pause there.

I am a "street photographer" and have filled income gaps with wedding photography and film portraiture. Mysteriously, this issue has never come up with a woman.

Maybe if we were talking about the right to photograph a building from across the street, but if you think it's legal, ethical, or reasonable to take pictures of people they do not want you to take that are invasive of their privacy... Well... You will not win that case in a court of law, a debate on ethics, or in this forum of your peers.

Mock Roles, Not Objects (2004) [pdf]
Okay so this article is bumping up against the hysteria that I'd categorize as "semi-technology literate" yet makes some good points. Almost like talking about how dangerous it is to walk through a minefield and then stepping on one. There's a valid point in there somewhere.

Copyright reform is one of my favorite subjects, and for a multitude of reasons. Should the prosecution be able to dump a case straight up without recourse because the "Stingray" gathering tool is too lovely to submit to review? Nope. Should breathalyzer code be held from review just because it's a product made by somebody? Nope. Should FOIA be stonewalled or pay-walled and inhibit the Constitutional freedom of the press? Nope!

Innocent until proven guilty is a very, very important premise for the US legal system. It's backed up by both the Fourth and First amendments to the Constitution. Any justification to put them aside for "War on ____" might seem reasonable on the surface, until taking a closer look at multiple murder evidence that comes from within the borders more often than on a laptop of a Citizen who just so happens to be coming back from a foreign country and gets worked for passwords under duress or has to forfeit hardware without recourse.

I dunno, maybe I sound like some kind of off-the-rocker dude by thinking about such things, but I love my country, I'm willing to sit down and think about this kind of stuff. It doesn't have to be extreme. Taking the small steps of talking with one another about what we really value is important in my opinion.

Not Philly, but I got one in SF that was pretty unreasonable.

I was parked in my neighborhood and had a valid residential permit that only required that I move my car for street sweeping. So when I parked on Wednesday, there was no sign that said I needed to move my car before the next Tuesday. On Friday evening (I know, because I checked my car on Thursday evening), someone who was moving posted a temporary permit they'd applied for their moving truck to park outside their apartment. I received a ticket on Saturday morning despite the requirement that the temporary permit be posted 72 hours in advance of the moving period.

I waited in a 90 minute line to contest it (the building where you contest/pay parking tickets is one of the few areas in the city where you'll find nothing but 30 minute meters, so it's virtually impossible to drive to contest a ticket without getting another ticket) and was told 'no' without any explanation.

I don't care how dishonest or sleazy Fixed is/was, if they're successfully fighting SFMTA's parking enforcement, I support them. Fuck SFMTA's parking enforcement...it is so beyond corrupt that the people involved need to be put in their place.

Fine, then why isn't coal being held to the same standard, which is what you're de facto choosing if you don't want nuclear power. The coal industry has an incredible amount of negative externalities, with the costs and damage largely ignored for most of their life. Fly as spills[1] are incredibly damaging, yet the coal industry still gets to store their waste in open air ponds that occasionally spill in to major rivers.

Even in the areas where solar can be used, are you going make sure that industry pays (at least party in advance, for the same insurance) for not only their manufacturing costs, but also the cleanup and disposal of all those PV cells that necessarily would be distributed over a wide area?

Are you also going make sure the wind and/or solar industry takes responsibility for all of the batteries t hat would be necessary to use their schemes? When you're talking keeping a national grid active on variable sources of power like wind or solar, those battery costs will easily surpass the generation costs. Since we are talking about cheap batteries that can supply decent amounts of current, that means lead acid[2]. Do you really want to distribute that much lead? Did you include the costs of the insurance to clean that up, too, including enforcement to make sure the lead doesn't simply end up in the landfill (or worse)?

The only expensive part about nuclear is the initial development cost. Running the plant isn't particularly expensive, and the fuel and waste costs are practically nothing and those costs are isolated to only a few locations. Everybody else tends to get away with socializing their long-term cleanup and disaster costs.

Because that's the indsutry that is the major growth sector for the US economy, and a category that is threatening to swallow or change literally every other aspect of the economy.

Our community receives added scrutiny because we're where people desperately want to (and arguably, need to) be in order to thrive. And yet we have constructed a giant edifice that turns people away in droves. Those few that run the myth-laden, idolized, unscientific gauntlet called "the interview process" are then subject to "cultural forces" that are generally just elaborate power structures identical to every other industry.

Only we are the gatekeepers of one of the very few industries that is considered accessible to young people AND that is growing AND that can be entered without a 4 year college degree.

I am not saying project mgmt does not work, I am saying the plan the task, do the task approach is not appropriate for software development, at a given level of granularity.

If you ever watch Grand Designs, they start with a design, a plan, a schedule, and it all goes out the window ten minutes later. This is not that being on top of the process will not give you control, but that relying on estimates and plans as a means of control is worthless - and that's for something people have been doing for hundreds of years
Just shows that parking fonts are used as an indiscriminate taxation on car owners. Local authorities use them to raise revenue and have become dependent on them. This leads to an abuse of traffic control which instead of being related to safety, becomes related to profit.

That includes the actions of local authorities in deliberately reducing legitimate parking spaces for car owners in order to force car owners to park illegally.
About 75 years ago, Nazis occupied Estonia and exterminated Jews. I don't think it's wise to keep a population's DNA on file.
First, because I implied it rather than stated, let's explicitly scope that statement to students. I am saying that if weaker math students like a professor because he has easier material, they should find another school. Top research universities should not be diploma mills, and students should appreciate and take advantage of unique resources at these schools. It may be the last time a student has exposure to a world-class mathematician.

The reality is that top math departments are very competitive places. It's realistic, not cruel. And feelings, yours or mine, aren't the ultimate arbiter of truth.

I, for example, am a weak football player. It's okay to say you're weak on certain dimensions, and it's in fact very important to assess as impartially as our limbic system allows because it prevents you from wasting time.

I wouldn't break down trying to run the football field with Gronkowski because there were some elbows thrown. I don't feel entitled to be a football player. I'd recognize the nature of the game I'm playing and find another one better suited to my skills. I also wouldn't try to turn football into a different game.

Suggesting a student go to a liberal arts college focused on teaching rather than a major research university isn't "cruel and horribly antisocial". It's allocating scarce resources effectively.

If you feel you need to do something people consider rude for the sake of your art, you can do it and suffer the consequences. Those consequences should certainly not extend to physical violence, should not extend to the involvement of law enforcement.

You should be able to mitigate those consequences somewhat by treating your subjects like people - explaining what you're doing, engaging with them respectfully. They may still feel uncomfortable.

In this case, the person complaining felt violated, and that's not unreasonable. She is plenty within her rights to complain.
