This is an interesting comment!

I tried to have a balance of questions over these 6 areas:

* Biology

* Economy

* Environment

* Politics

* Science & Technology

* Society

I also tried to have a balance between questions that you would think for certain would be a 'yes' like the Pi one and a 'No' like the cannibalism one.

Layered on top of this was my own personal views on what's 'unusual' about our own society and a desire to get people actually thinking about us, not the aliens. Do we really need Jails and religion and countries? Is there another way? Maybe we could have a justice system without Jails, for example. That's what's behind the UN question - probably not a good question - but something I think about often.

I regret not thinking about the family question. That would have been a good one.
this is weird man, I had a similar idea like about a year ago, and just started coding some prototypes of it this week, my original idea was to scan a QR code and then you'll be presented with a native app, and I needed a way to code the elements of the app, and i didn't want to waste time writing a parser, so I used Json too lol. I was coding for android, maybe we should join forces ;)
Hear! hear! I also recommend, more generally, reviewing logical fallacies, cognitive biases, and misconceptions as part of a regular self-review. It's important to keep a flexible mind, though achieving greater degrees of interior freedom is hard work.

The problem with this is that there will always be some sort of disadvantage HTML5/hybrid/etc apps have over real native apps. Things like interaction, calendar integration, 3D graphics, etc, etc never work as well as they do as for native apps. In addition, if they do work on a technical level, Apple or Google may add an API tomorrow that either breaks, or you'll have to wait on the supplier of your HTML5 magic framework to add support, etc. If you want high quality, responsive UIs and apps, native is the way to go.

For a simple app, I think this is a good idea - going to play around with it for some simple apps.

No way of knowing unless we can exam it. Could be the best stuff ever.
It'd be even better if you could ship a version to the App Store with an embedded JSON. That way you'll always have some version of your app. Or does it do that already?
On top of that, they have this annoying feature where they list the number of minutes left. Like I want a reminder how much time I am wasting reading some random blog. Not really an example of great UX...
> In some ways it's the end of the treadmill and we'll be back at square one.

Well, there's something to be said about a peaceful, physically healthier, longer lived, and better nourished humanity. Even if it all boils back down to cooking, cleaning, maintaining the homestead, and taking care of the family in the end.
For the same reason that it always takes conservative people long to understand the benefits of what they are fighting against?
Our realities are each a collection of stories we each tell ourselves. Sometimes parts of the stories two people believe will overlap and we'll call those opinions or facts depending on situation.

I'm finding it helpful to view every signal my body encounters as a chance to choose how to process it, including what I do, taste, or hear.

Since adopting this view, I've effortlessly enjoyed eating foods I've hated my entire life (tomatoes, olives, CILANTRO?!), listening to country music, and doing things like chores that used to bore me to tears.

If anyone sees danger in learning to view the world that way by default, I'd love to hear about it.
I think many people like the idea of decentralized in principle, but when the centralized power shares consequences for the decentralized mismanagement, people tend to get pissy (see EU financial crisis woes with Greece and friends, or USA state/municipal budget problems of past few years..).
Perhaps these are problems solved with policy though?
Whether it was said or not, I lived through it, so I have first-hand experience that tells me there was a shift. It used to be that programming was an unpopular hobby of unpopular people (nerds!). Now not just IT, but the whole geek/nerd culture got commercialized, to the point that today's programmers are nothing like the ones from 10+ years ago. Today if you pick a random developer in a random company, you'll most likely find someone with only shallow knowledge/understanding of programming, who is in this career just for the money, and only cares about the craft between 9 AM and 5 PM.

It does feel like the culture I grew up in was invaded and taken over by barbarians.

Will it? What if someone's "meaningful work" is destructive, hateful, or even violent? Will giving abusive people more freedom to pursue their inner desires make for a better world?
can you elaborate more? what do you think would be a killer feature of the platform that would make you use it each time?
Well large paycheck would be a nice thing, but more than I guess it'd be about accomplishment, making something worthwhile and recognition and/or making something that'd actually make the world a better place and obviously getting to do what you actually enjoy doing.

>>I'm deeply envious of my guitar teacher. I certainly make more than him, and giving lessons can be boring - but making music makes him deeply happy.

I'm envious of guys like that too. It's great if you can spend your time doing what you enjoy. My first 5 years in the tech were like that. But the luster is definately gone now.
> In that case, can you explain how Canadian and European legal systems are insufficient for seeking legal recourse for legitimate grievances?

That's the wrong question to ask even though there is a very simple answer to it: that the state is not impartial. The better question to ask is why ISDS exists in the first place and this is something that the states and governments came up with and not the companies.

> The argument against is cases like the Philip Morris v. Uruguay case. Why couldn't the same happen under CETA?

Phillip Morris lost the case. Cases should be judged by the outcome and not by the pure fact that it takes place. You can drag someone in front of a court of a lot of things. As far as CETA goes you can only claim unfair discrimination and a whole bunch of things are outright excluded. In particular an investor has very bad cards due to both the health and ethics aspects of CETA.

In any case that is all super irrelevant anyways as countries already signed a ton of BITs that include significantly inferior ISDS provisions. The company in question is currently dragging a few countries in front of ISDS courts without the help or need of CETA. ISDS would have to be discussed separately and not in the context of CETA. As far as ISDS goes, CETA is an improvement over prior contracts.

If you want to replace ISDS then companies will just walk up the local justice systems which will not be any cheaper or more efficient and that might go all the way up to the supreme court or the highest european courts.

> If you don't see ISDS itself as objectionable

I understand the arguments against it very well but instead of throwing the entire concept away I find it much more reasonable to attack the individual points of criticism and that's what CETA was about. If you want to kill the entire concept then we just open up a new hole that will need filling.
This struck a chord with me.

Unlike the author, I think I still like computers, but only in their essence. I like programming, the detective game of debugging, learning new paradigms, getting lost in abstraction, the thrill of watching powerful automation doing it's thing.

But I don't like what computers and the internet have become. Without constant mindful adjustment, all my devices inevitably become attention grabbing pushers of just-so packaged bits of media. I don't let that happen, but that's clearly their essential inclination. Keeping this at bay feels like swatting away the tentacles of some persistent deep sea creature.

I feel everyone's attention span eroding. I feel people packaging themselves for social media, opening their self-image and self-worth to the masses. I see a flood of undifferentiated information, the spread of hysteria and belligerence, the retreat of quietude, humility, and grace.

This is all downside, but lately I'm losing the upside. While I still love the technology underneath it all, more and more I feel like I'm working in the service of something that's driving humanity collectively insane.
It may be less the responsibility of the "consumer" of the information and more the responsibility of the "producer" of the information.

If the argument is presented as if something is and will always be a certain way (or even if the argument is presented without admitting that something may change) it can probably lead a lot faster to groups of people assuming the argument will be valid forever.

EDIT: Or can be misinterpreted that someone presenting an argument believes the argument will remain valid forever.

btw. never saw the talks the author cites, and have not followed the trade agreements very closely so I'm only speaking generally here.
(Frozen string literals allows strings to be in memory only once and not having to reallocate each time, so a pretty big memory and cpu optimization)

Isn't this the purpose of symbols in the language? This seems like a pretty basic optimization, surely there were good reasons not to introduce it in earlier versions.
The same for me. I've radiator valves that are scheduled (one time I'll add presence sensing to it as well).

Moreover I've "district heating" from the industry region at the Rotterdam harbor. So, I don't need to fire up a boiler. I have heat per radiator as soon as the valve opens.
That doesn't matter they will still have Pi it's doesn't have to be 3.14... in base 10 it just means that they are aware of its existence through one of many of its special relationships.

Number theory and set theory is pretty agnostic to any preconceptions of what we would call numbers in the day to day life.

There seems to be no browseable source code around, what are the implementation language(s)? I want to know whether the protocol implementations are written in a memory-safe language.
If the author truly wants 'magic', how about we take a 64KiB demo that runs for 4 minutes. That's 64KiB containing 240 seconds of video, and your H.264 had to use 175 for only five seconds on video.

We can conclude that 64KiB demos are at least 48 times as magical as H.264.
The thing is that 'to be' is a special verb in English, so the distinction between "John is being angry" and "John is angry" isn't there, and "John is angry" could mean either current or habitual anger.

You can't argue that because a distinction exists for 'to eat' it also exists or is understood the same for 'to be'. English admits the sentence "Big bird does eat cookies" but not "John does be angry".
Actually it's unlikely that it wouldn't it's like saying that they will not understand the what a prime number is.

People mistake the value of a certain constant in decimal which is what we use to the meaning behind the constant itself.

Albert Schweitzer is my favorite career-switch example. Unfortunately I find large parts of studying to become a doctor rather dull - I've actually taken a couple hundred hours of courses. Also, thanks to the Internet and all the information on it I would not feel as good about myself as Schweitzer did because I would be only too aware of global forces beyond anyone's control that let any individual efforts seem completely useless.

For example, the recent headlines about the outburst of violence in Ethiopia. Imagine you were one of the people who spent a decade or more building a business there to help the people - only to see it all go up in smoke in the course of an hour of rioting because larger issues in the country remained unaddressed. It feels to me like I'm waiting for larger issues to result in a "signal", and that until then individual efforts are actually pretty useless because greater forces are at work pointing into another direction. So what I do now is work on my skills and on my continued education.

By the way, speaking of studying, I started a math study (I already did CS and half of "business administration"), but during the first year I found out that while it was extremely interesting it was way, way too narrow. I had too much of a desire to try something completely different. That's why I ended up studying a lot of medical topics. I think edX and Coursera and the course websites from Stanford, MIT and many others are a very good option these days. After all, you only really need one degree to say "I studied", actually getting another one has greatly diminished returns. I'm not talking about the knowledge you gain but about the piece of paper. As for the knowledge, I would find studying anything too narrow and limiting. Picking up whatever I want from the available (university) courses has been much more satisfying. 70 courses thus far and counting :-) Added benefit: No time pressure. Learn whatever whenever and wherever.
Yes looks like it. Just rebooted it - should be okay now.
(edit) Their book, The Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms, impressed me greatly for the clarity of the thinking and conciseness of explanation, not just compared to other algorithm books, but against anything I've read in any subject.

why do the least credible stories gain the most attention

Is this so obviously true that it can be stated as a bare fact like that?

I would think the very least credible stories get essentially zero attention, but then I always trip over it when people use a straightforward categorical statement as a way of emphasizing a weaker point.

The decision as to how many decisions to make is itself a decision that must be evaluated somehow, at some point.

But yes, I tend to agree, but this entire thread is largely just a restatement of the last few hundred years of left wing/right wing thought. Minimal regulation, markets, voting, these are all traditionally right wing positions. Regulation of markets by small groups of experts, distrust of the population, the desire for elites to keep a check on the people, these are traditional left wing positions. There's not much new under the sun.
As far as I can see, the meat of your argument is 'outdated packages, poor documentation to solve problems', but in those terms Elementary is almost identical to Ubuntu LTS. In fact, under the hood, Elementary is essentially an Ubuntu LTS flavour with their own default apps, running a customized toolkit.

For any problem not related to those apps, or the desktop environment, you look up information for the associated Ubuntu release. I imagine in that sense it's very similar to any of the flavours, which you are suggesting as a better alternative.

For some developers LTS is no good, because they need the latest packages, for others it's not an issue. That's a fine point to make, but I don't see how you get from that to 'Elementary is no good for developers'.

Statistics show that even biased judges tend to become much less biased by the time they retire.

Citation needed.

If judges were so great and neutral then why does the US have a collective fit any time one needs to be replaced? It's taken for granted that the judges are all extremely biased and the decision making of the court can be (and should be) swayed by selection of appointees.
> That's the wrong question to ask even though there is a very simple answer to it: that the state is not impartial.

The judiciary is what is in question, not the state per se.

But even if they're not impartial, is that necessarily bad here? Shouldn't the health of a country's citizens take priority over the interests of shareholders? Why should foreign businesses have greater rights than local businesses? (this is the contention of the Australian government)

> The better question to ask is why ISDS exists in the first place and this is something that the states and governments came up with and not the companies.

The nature of how trade deals are negotiated means we don't necessarily know who came up with it or pushed for it. But it's irrelevant in any case. What matters is its effects.

> Phillip Morris lost the case. Cases should be judged by the outcome and not by the pure fact that it takes place.

Plenty of these cases have been lost by governments. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investor-state_dispute_settlem...

> In any case that is all super irrelevant anyways as countries already signed a ton of BITs that include significantly inferior ISDS provisions.

It's because of existing ISDS provisions that we know of their problems. Why do we need even more?

> If you want to replace ISDS then companies will just walk up the local justice systems which will not be any cheaper or more efficient and that might go all the way up to the supreme court or the highest european courts.

“All the way up to the highest European courts”? That's not how the EU's legal system works. You can't just appeal cases to the EU level.

I'm unconvinced it would not be cheaper to sue at a national level, anyway. If only because local courts are less likely to award a huge payout in such cases.
For voice I've found it to be quite stable, the video features a little flaky though. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it just wouldn't.

I don't use UML, nor its predecessors going back to the early 1980's. I draw little pictures to ensure I understand what my code is/will do but that's it. Formal diagrams are as useful as formal documentation written wearing a formal suit.
Yes, used the UML class diagrams, sequence diagrams and Statechart diagrams for an embedded device software.

It's just a tool for modelling. You can pick and choose the diagrams you need, and at the abstraction level you desire.
Yup, in fact this was extracted from production apps on the appstore. Here's one: www.textethan.com

In addition to the comment about filtering by size, etc, I'm also concerned about operational features - here are a few that come to mind:

- Bugs or lack of them

- Performance (you've been to those dog slow sites)

- Security issues (a category of bugs worth their own line)

- Dependencies - a 200kB theme really isn't 200kB if it requires 20 Javascript and CSS files packing another 4MB on.

- Known use - there's a sweet spot since you don't want to be the only one using a theme. You also don't want 90% of the other sites on the Internet to look exactly like yours.

- Open-source versus closed-source (regardless of price)

- Community engagement

- Author responsiveness

That what might feel like "Information pollution" to one will feel like a bath of excitement and enjoyment to the other.

Indeed. overflow: hidden on the parent combined with float: left on the main text - it's bizarre. Why would someone take the whole content of the page out of the main flow like that?

It's also using some kind of javascript callbacks to get responsive placement of the header, rather than media queries.
Part of the issue is efficiency, we have to make choices and cannot reevaluate everything constantly. Also, we can't be specialists in everything.

So programming languages, we have to pick a few and become good at them. It's one thing to take another hard look when applying for a new job for example, but we cannot keep track of all programming languages and their evolutions.
It was fun, thanks!

Just this morning I finished reading Solaris (by Stanisław Lem, it's an amazing book about reflecting on "how an alien could look like", 10/10), so I stopped thinking after every question to consider different scenarios possible with either answers.
