How are you going to engage in armed resistance in case of genocide if you've allowed yourself to get disarmed beforehand? You evidently don't know the pattern of registration being followed by disarmament followed sometimes by genocide, with the PRC being the major exception to this pattern (the CCP instead used rifle taxes imposed on the rich to dry up the supply of those not in their hands).

Even in the US mandatory registration has already led to confiscations in California and New York. And more of that will likely happen if enough of the coming "Gunpocalypse" gets enacted in California, although that might await a new governor, Jerry Brown is by no means all bad on this issue.

So you're just as welcome to question my judgement as I your knowledge of history, but neither is very productive when it comes to thinking about what various people will do if pushed too far.

Thanks, that's a really interesting episode.
fun fact: most consumer grade GPS stuff can pick up GLONASS, particularly the RF baseband chips found in all modern smartphones, because about 5 years ago Russia threatened to put a 250% import duty on all imported smartphones that didn't function with GLONASS. Therefore companies like Qualcomm which develop the RF chips in a smartphone were required by their customers (such as LG) to include GLONASS.

> Being able to mimic a human's behavior is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for having subjective experience.

I think that's not the point he tried to make. It's just that it happens that we're human and thus it's easier for us to relate to human-like experiences/feelings. An algorithm is not limited to that.

If we accept that our "feeling like something" is just an emergent phenomenon of our complex model of reality I see no logical reason why we shouldn't ascribe any sufficiently complex model of reality an inherent feeling. Due to our limited physical configuration we will never have access to all kinds of feelings. Much like we will never know how it feels like to be a bat.

I've been toying with roughly the same idea for some months. I've come up with new URL schemes for JSON objects[1], and (Iot)hings[2]. They differ in what they do but the purpose is to explore how specific URL schemes could open the door for improvements.

[1] json://the-domain.com/example

Would return:

{"json":"data"}

[2] thing://ip-address/example

In this case, it returns JSON for the sake of readability, so:

{"name":"car","speed":88,"location":"1985"}
Looking at this post if Arcade City can provide a background check for people who use the service and also insurance then they would actually have the people who drive for the service be closer to contractors instead of the faux one that Uber/Lyft try to pull off.
I think it's a question of local optimization. New housing units increase supply and lower the clearing price. Once people move in, new amenities such as more and better cultural institutions, restaurants, hobbyist clubs, retail establishments, public transit systems, etc. become feasible. So in the long run, the city becomes more civilized and desirable. Clearing price goes up relative to regions that are less-developed. But generally speaking people tend to make short-term and selfish decisions rather than thinking about what could be if many people behave altruistically, forgoing short-term gains and temporary inconveniences in order to reap long-term benefits (global optimization).

There's gotta be a way to economically make a lack of density untenable. Urban sprawl is a threat to the environment, we talk about charging a tax on Carbon, what about on Urban Sprawl?

P.S: Not saying a carbon tax is the best idea, but urban sprawl (like carbon emissions) have a negative impact on the environment but zero impact on maximizing capital gains. They two must be tied somehow.
I've just migrated one project from mongo to postgresql and i advise you to do the same. It was my mistake to use mongo, after I've found memory leak in cursors first day I've used the db which I've reported and they fixed it. It was 2015.. If you have a lot of relations in your data don't use mongo, it's just hype. You will end up with collections without relations and then do joins in your code instead of having db do it for you.
Well, it's small sample but I used things like InfluxDB, Consul, there were some command line tools (that I no longer remember) as well.
>What is to be done

Pay more attention to the election and government processes. Inform people. Most people don't know about civil forfeiture (even the name is enough to bore many people), so they don't know cops are stealing from people.

A people that doesn't pay attention to the government gets screwed by the government every time, no matter what rules are in place. That's why Lawrence Lessig is trying to change the rules to encourage people to take part.
Most people simply don't like change. Some changes can't be avoided, such as a kid growing up. Other changes can be avoided, such as by passing zoning laws that make it illegal to substantially change the physical appearance of the town you live in. When it's possible, people seek that out.
The title and content of this article couldn't be farther from the truth.

1. Uber and Lyft's absence has created a huge void that remains to this day. There are crazy long lines at the airport.

2. There are multiple ridesharing companies that have sprung up in the meantime. Arcade City is just one of them.

3. I'm pretty sure Arcade City will disappear once either (a) U/L return or (b) one of the newer companies (Fare, Fasten, etc.) get more drivers.

Transportation in Austin is terrible right now. Arcade City hasn't changed that fact.

It's also hypocritical: for the city to have reached the state which they originally bought into, it had to have changed. If SV was still zoned exclusively for farms or something, then the neighborhood they like so much wouldn't have existed in the first place.

> Throughout all ancient and historical human cultures, women have consistently been to certain degrees less privileged and more subservient to men

I suspect that this is largely due to men's greater capacity for violence than women, due to having proportionally more muscle mass.
The comment you replied to explains the problem with your logic: the easy creation of apps using Electron exposes nontrivial security issues that will likely not get caught because speed is a priority.
If you're referring to the case I think you are, it is pretty clear that that "black kid" was actually a money runner for drug dealers. He claimed to have withdrawn the money from his bank, but could never provide any kind of evidence that he had done this.
Maybe population was a part of it. There are so many things they could be doing/testing we can't really make any assumptions other than that some government organization is doing something.
I mean in a general sense. I'd pay for all sorts of things I currently get for free — writing, art, software, videos — if it was as easy as clicking a button. Getting out my wallet, entering a credit card number, and going through the payment steps is too much work for a quarter.

I don't agree with this analogy, because languages overlap a lot more. You could choose one of several different languages to build a web app (Python, JavaScript, Ruby, PHP, etc.).

Only particular tasks have languages that fit best. Many other tasks can be solved in multiple languages. In that case, the best tool for the job is the language you know best.
As I said, I don't necessary agree with the Facebook thing. I can see why people complain about their behavior, which is fine. I was saying that I think the subject is irrelevant to the discussion.

I suppose I interpret the title "The Universal Declaration of Human Rights" as meaning beyond government oppression. I believe in the idea of natural human rights and government exists because we allow it.

Regardless, I interpret government inaction on non-state actors that actively suppress by illegal activities a person's rights to free expression (or speech, whichever makes people happy) as a form of government oppression.

EDIT: thanks for the discussion, you've given me much to consider.

And the good old cmd5.org, which at least in the past has been the best such service available.
>Why does there have to be experience tied to our reactions to stimuli ?

Maybe because we learn stuff before reacting a lot of the time. Say you want to learn some new sport, you might watch it a while to try to figure out what was going on before trying to play. It's going to be hard to figure out if you are not conscious. You could try saying a p-zombie could also be replaying the goal in its mind to figure how the goalie could have stopped it while not being conscious what it's thinking about but it kind of gets to be a bit of a stretch.

I actually went from vim to spacemacs recently, and found it rather nice. I am one of those people who learned to edit with vim, but never like actually making vim my own. No extra stuff, just simple editing.

Then I tried spacemacs, and was sold immediately. I got all of the good things I never took the time to configure in vim for free (or at least at the cost of 600ms longe startup time). I have gone from an IDE lover, to a loon living in spacemacs. As their tagline says: "The best editor is neither Emacs nor Vim, it's Emacs and Vim!"
We have something like that—and better in some ways. Check out the Sourcegraph Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sourcegraph-for-gi.... You get jump-to-def by clicking on code on GitHub. And it uses these semantic URLs in a backward-compatible way, so that they encode the definition/function name but also the line number (so anyone not using the extension can still use the URLs).

It's a great idea to make a little app to get a permalink, too!
You might have a point about desire, but with the levels of land value inflation there, almost any owner can take out enough of a home equity loan to finance the construction or conversion of additional units.

It's not about sync vs async. It's about performance. People who take up pomodoro-type work tracking are surprised at how hard it is sometimes to get 25 minutes of work done.

I know many people who perform their best when they are training somebody in a system, or are recording training, or doing a webinar. Pair programming evokes the same improvements, and it lasts.

When you're being watched you're more present, and you perform better. I would say that pair programming, assuming no huge personality friction, is more than twice as effective as single programming. There are some companies that only do pair programming, most likely because of this realisation.
Far from ignoring you, I answered that question in the comment you're replying to.

Yes, we ban accounts—usually publicly, except in case of spammers. And we do move threads, adding a comment explaining what we moved and where. We do not delete threads.

Ah, I see. I misread. I'm speaking of violence and other illegal activities. But, it's early yet.

I think that's extremely conservative, even if you don't consider the gigafactory. He said years ago that the rate of improvement in density would be 6-8% per year, but clearly it's been much better than that - more like a 20% increase in density or a 15% drop in price per year, for the past 8 years.
Distributed systems testing is well studied and applied in industry, but there is significant IP and competitive advantage attached to it. For this reason, papers are rarely published. So, this world is not lost to everyone ;). You will see such expert frameworks defined and applied in aeronautics, military and transportation systems, for example. The key challenge is reproducibility of the testing. Central logging of events is not enough, you need some way to enforce or guarantee the global causal ordering of events.

People are scared by the phrase 'breeder reactor'; which is poor marketing, calling it a 'waste reduction reactor' is slightly longer, but also more accurately describes what it does and sounds a LOT better.

I think it may have been a result of Fukushima, but I gained an interest in the topic and spent a few tens of hours researching. A proper waste reduction reactor produces three categories of radioactive material.

* Stuff that is so crazy hot it'll cool off in a 'short' period of time.

* Stuff that is good for use in reactors (a subset of the above).

* Stuff that will take a LONG time to decay; which means that it is active, but very very slowly emitting.
This many times over. Rewind a few decades and the same basic human desire for such preservation was mobilized towards racial motivations.
I also wanted to note that not all of the new housing is coming on top of houses. Close to where I live, there's a strip mall with an enormous parking lot that just got knocked down and is being converted to mixed-use development, including lots of apartments[1]. A bit further away next to Lawrence Caltrain station, and old suburban-style office park was torn down and again, has a big mixed-use development being built there[2].

> But if the human hasn't actually flown in months or years the'll likely be kind of rusty.

Along the same lines:

I work in manufacturing, and design systems to automate processes. "What is the current, manual process?" is the first thing I ask for when beginning a new project. I then try to design the automated system, so that the manual process can be used as a fallback should any part of the automated system fail. What happens when we have a network outage or something similar? The people involved suddenly forget the manual processes that they had used for years, and sit around twiddling their thumbs and calling IT every 5 minutes asking when the system will be back up.
There are lots of ways. Extremely high gasoline taxes seem to be popular in Europe. When driving costs $10 or $12 a gallon instead of $2 or 3, people want to drive a lot less.

High property values also work, as in Europe. In a relatively small European country, there is just a lot less land supply, so it costs a lot and people tend to build much more densely. By contrast the US is huge and has an enormous amount of vacant land, so land is (relatively) extremely cheap in the US, encouraging low density development.

Finally, the main reason low density is tenable is that zoning laws in the US are in most places specifically set up to discourage high density construction and make it unprofitable.

In the early 20th century, zoning laws were first enacted in the US by the so called "Progressive Movement". They observed that the rich enjoyed spacious country estates while the poor lived in crowded, dense slums, so they decided to "help" the poor live in what they deemed better conditions by making it illegal or difficult to build new high density neighborhoods at all.

How do the bullet points in "Why does Go leave out those features?" address why Go leaves out the features on the preceding slide?

All it talks about is clarity (important but not the only important thing) and I just don't see how any of the left-out things are inherently unclear. I think you can write clear and unclear code alike with all of those left-out features.

> I can imagine a thing that has the same physical mechanisms as me, but does not experience conciousness (i.e. a p-zombie)

Hmm, really? How? To be honest, I can't. Honestly I think this is just a meaningless mind trick. The more I think about it, the less the notion of a p-zombie really makes sense to me. If a p-zombie existed, and I could never really tell the difference from the outside, this gives rise to many blind-alley-models of the world, for example solipsism: Maybe all others are just p-zombies and maybe I'm the only thing that really exists in the sphere of consciousness (=soul?). I can never know for sure. But if it's true, then there's not really much room for any further discussion.

So I have to assume that everything that behaves like being conscious in fact has a consciousness - even if it isn't even aware of its being conscious.
That looked like a very cool site and nice set of games. Time is a harsh mistress.

As I mentioned, she doesn't have to 'move' except in the most technical sense--she can take house a home equity loan (made possible by the house's appreciation) and convert her house into an apartment by adding another floor or converting a garage or by demolishing the house and building an apartment block in its stead. She can continue to live in one of the units, probably the first floor, and benefit from a reliable stream of income from tenants.

Oh, and BTW, this idea that "techies" aren't people, or somehow less deserving of moral consideration than everyone else, is reprehensible.
> Urban sprawl is a threat to the environment, we talk about charging a tax on Carbon, what about on Urban Sprawl?

A carbon tax (as long as cars use energy derived from sources covered by a carbon tax, whether that's fossil fuels directly or electricity produced in some share by burning fossil fuels) is a tax on urban sprawl, since urban sprawl forces longer trips and less-fuel-efficient transportation.
