For anyone interested in applying this stuff to real world issues, I highly recommend the +Acumen Systems Practice course [1]. Rob Ricigliano and Karen Grattan have put together a solid, pragmatic guide on how to understand, analyze, and engage complex systems. We've been working with Rob and Karen at Kumu [2] for years now and nobody else comes close when it comes to applied systems thinking.

Your quote doesn't support your conclusions about the subject or Dennett's views on them.

A lack of sight from birth results in visual cortex used for other things. Damage to language areas can result in loss of comprehension or production, but neighboring tissue can recover the functionality. The lines we draw are fairly blurry to be honest.

Dennett isn't saying that the language area makes the human but that language and narrative as a cognitive currency are what make us human; the neurobiology is incidental.

> User: yes, but why don't I just run an ad-blocker and wait for the tragedy of the commons to befall content publishers?

The problem with this is that it doesn't influence incentives in the right way. If your goal is to replace advertising entirely, there needs to be something to replace it. If your goal is to make advertising better, you need to reward the "good ads" (whatever that means) by selectively showing them.

If you just don't care and don't want to see ads, I guess you're in the majority but you're not really helping anything.

> This is a drain on our economy every second we aren't working towards this actually rather easy to achieve goal.

I find this sort of argument to beg the question. How much would it really increase overall GDP to get at least 25/3 (the current FCC standard) to the 10% of the country that lacks it? Especially considering that everyone can get satellite broadband, which covers the core things people need internet for: job applications, access to online educational resources, electronic payment processing, etc.

People are pretty wary of using torrents because they're scared of being sued. What DRM on Netflix prevents is you ripping all of the seasons of your favorite shows, with almost no risk of getting caught, and then cancelling your Netflix subscription/sharing the rips with your friend, who is probably not inclined to use torrent sites.

You have to be a lot more specific. There is an immense number of rich people in Los Angeles and it has historically had a mediocre tech scene for example (especially compared to SF, but it also lags Seattle and NY currently).

It's proximity to large numbers of very specific rich people.

This paper is closer to industrialization than most and I expect production on scale in less than 10 years. It uses process steps that are already operating on an industrial scale. It's achieved on an industrial area wafer (compare with many academic records where cells are tiny, less than 10 cm^2). It's achieved on an industrial thickness wafer (some records use thinner wafers that are closer to the theoretical optimum, but those thinner wafers are too fragile to process industrially with current technology). It's just combining features of two cell concepts that are already manufactured on an industrial scale (interdigitated back contact cells and heterojunction cells). The core patents on heterojunction silicon cells expired just a few years ago so I expect more vanilla heterojunction and heterojunction-plus-other manufacturing going forward.
We (http://gruntwork.io) are still establishing best practices around managing multiple AWS accounts, but so far having a single "admin" account where all IAM Users are managed seems like a best practice. You can then implement a nifty dropdown that allows IAM Users to easily switch accounts. [1] I'm not sure about how IAM Groups fits into this.

For IAM Roles, we use Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) to create all those anyway, so I still prefer to create those in the AWS account that contains the resources to which they apply.

I'm just thinking from the point of view of each of these actors. Users do not care about content publisher finances until their favorite site goes under. What some of them do appear to care about - day by day - is whether they see advertising or not. Those who are motivated to take any action at all are more likely to install an adblocker extension than switch browsers.

For everyone involved in the ecosystem, Brandon Eich and Brave are starting out on the wrong foot.

Well, which one is it?
Well, I was talking about the Raspberry Pi Zero specifically, which doesn't have those RISC cores.

One particularly cool Single-board Computer (SBC) is the Beaglebone Blue. The Beaglebone Blue came with "PRUs" (Programmable Realtime Units), which seem similar to the OpenRISC core you are talking about. Such "embedded microcontrollers" exist because the main computer. There are also a hell of a lot more GPIO pins, ADCs, Servo-channels, Motor-controls, and other such stuff to assist the robotic designers.

No need for "Realtime" Linux either, if you're focusing on the PRU / alternative cores to do the heavy-lifting. So I didn't want to discriminate against SBCs as much as I wanted to highlight the importance of low-latency and consistent reads off of pins. Two things that the Raspberry Pi is pretty dismal at doing.

---------

In any case, previous discussions with the "Orange Pi" clearly don't "get" it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12890005

Its fine, ycombinator is a web-technology, software-focused message board. YCombinator cares about web-technologies, keeping up with Linux Kernel patches, and the like. And that's good and important.

However, embedded and microcontroller features are often ignored, despite embedded topics popping up around here pretty often. So I felt it necessary to bring up the compare/contrast.

You offered a list of negativities that all ignore the author's intent, then capped them off with a statement that patronizingly declares that his project is so worthless as to not deserve existence. That is not constructive criticism. I cannot judge your intent - perhaps you meant well. At the very least I hope you meditate on the difference between destructive and constructive criticism, the key difference being respect of the author's goals, rather than your own.
Ask HN: Reserving usernames

A reasonable list of names to reserve (root, login, signup, etc) is here https://github.com/zimbatm/hostnames-and-usernames-to-reserve

Do you ever reserve usernames in your products? If so, what is your strategy, and why? If not, why not?
That's what we've done, and it's been a huge help. There are a few areas where it's a little complex (things like build servers; does each environment get its own? That makes it so we have to duplicate effort on the build server rather than knowing it really -is- the same build. But if it's shared across environments, it has -accounts- across all environments. So tradeoffs). But in general shooting for isolated environments has definitely been of benefit.
Crew-rated is radically different from passenger-rated in basic safety requirements. The problem with quad copters is that they're unstable in flight after the loss of only one engine, and lack sufficient mass in the propellors to effectively autorotate. That makes nearly any propulsion or control system failure in a crewed quad copter a probable hull-loss and crew-loss event. Even test pilots have problems with flying under those conditions. The problem isn't lifting a human to a useful height and velocity---the Romans solved that with catapults. The problem is being able to reasonably assure them that you can return them to earth safely, reliably, and sufficiently inexpensively.
The protocol would likely not allow BATs to be earned in browsers not properly implementing the protocol (measuring attention on a web page while protecting privacy, etc). And then instances of Brave and any other browser implementing this protocol could easily be cryptographically confirmed to the ad network.
I want to comment on the anti Affirmative Action arguments here.

I went to a really prestigious high school in New York City. For the summer of my junior year, our AP Computer Science teacher hooked up a few of us with internships at the finance firms, specifically in tech (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, etc.). Now, sure, I did really well and studied really hard to get into my high school. However, I did practically nothing to earn that internship besides taking AP Computer Science. My Computer Science "expertise" was hardly valuable. I knew just about as much as any other AP CS kid in the country.

In the end, that internship did wonders for me getting into college and getting future jobs. And plus, I made 3k that summer. And yes, I finished a useful project at the firm. But the reason I had that opportunity was totally orthogonal to earning the opportunity. I know we like to boast about being a meritocracy and all that, but this is one of those cases where it was correlation, not causation.
Not sure how people like online password managers. The consequence will be far worse than selling your online attitude to Google by using their online services in case of a security breach. It pretty much gives your online self up to hackers.

With that said, I only use offline managers and this is only for Mac but Locko by Binarynights is clean and easy to use. The downside is that it's browser extension can't remember basic auth credentials but other than that I like it.
I can also back up the encrypted database easily with a script.

The fun thing is that RapidSSL was the biggest problem when they were trying to kill 1024-bit roots for example.
I used to be a Dashlane user. It just got worse and worse over time, the password sharing was incredibly buggy. Their support would always give me excuses and never have fixes. It got to be a nightmare. I switched to 1Password and love it.

Honestly surprised there aren't more players in this space but it seems really hard to get into.
The fact that you have an emotional attachment to your children is evidence of their value. Things that provide value are assets, and things that provide value over time are investments.

A common share of Google may give you financial value in return, whereas a child will give you emotional or psychological return. Technically, children should be classified as more of an investment than stock because they can go work and provide for you financially while still giving you emotional value. Stock can't really give you emotional value (other than pride).

Using "personal goals" maybe be helpful feedback for the creator to understand things they had not considered from their own perspective. In this case, it might point to the goal of the project not being as obvious as it might be (I don't know if that's the case, just an example of what could possibly be constructive in this scenario).
I have 10+ years of web dev experience and have been underwhelmed with node on the backend. One of the supposed strengths is I/O scalability but in my experience it has little advantage over the JVM or .net so why not just use one of those and get both I/O and computation scaling.

I also have not been as impressed with the backend code you can find in node compared to just about anything else. Useful projects are abandoned or obsoleted, documentation can be very poor and the pointless churn is well documented here and elsewhere. Basically all problems you'd expect without a standard library or corporate backing. Though those things hardly seem necessary given the high quality of Elixir/Phoenix or Rails. I guess what I'm trying to say here is you'll be better off using just about anything else on the backend. The only positives that come to mind is having ES6/TS/JSON everywhere and perhaps socket.io is a better option than some JVM/.net server/client communication libraries.

I'm typing this from work -- I work at a B2B telecom in an inner-ring suburb of Dallas -- and all I have to do is look around the office and see lots and lots of white-collar professionals who live and work in the suburbs and have spouses and children, including everyone on my team (well, one guy on my team doesn't have kids, but he's married and owns a house in a conservative suburb). I remember when I used to sit next to the sales department, and some of them would talk about their kids all the time. Very few people live in the city, and some people in the more business-y departments have given me some very strange looks when I tell them I live in an inner-ring suburb that's only 15 minutes away; most of them live in distant exurbs and have fairly long commutes.

This is what the corporate world is like all across the country.

To answer specific points:

> Right, but now you're forced to get a new job in a new place, or at the very least have a very lengthy commute.

People change jobs all the time, and they typically get raises and promotions out of it

Oh, and having a long commute and spending lots of time at work is considered a bonus to many people who have kids. Work is the best way to get a breather from the screaming babies at home. You know the guy who's always super-excited and happy to be in the office at 8:00 Monday morning? He's obviously a father.

> Or worse, having to live in Texas?

I actually love living in Texas. I've lived here my entire life, and the only reason I'm even considering moving later this year is because of SB6, and even then I'm going out of my way to move to a suburban environment that reminds me of home (I've pretty much decided on Torrance, CA, though Orange County is still a backup).

> This of course assumes that there's even jobs for you in TX or other low-cost locations.

And it's not like Dallas doesn't have any tech industry. We're even called the Silicon Prairie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Prairie

Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington is the fourth largest metro area in the country, and Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land is the fifth-largest [0]. It's patently absurd to say there are no jobs here. Both metro areas individually (Dallas: 7.1M; Houston: 6.7M) are more populous than San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward (#11) and San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara (#35) combined (6.6M).

I had something like this happen with QNX, back in 2004 when we were using it for the DARPA Grand Challenge. We had an industrial x86 computer system that was running headless, with no display. But the device had a minimal VGA controller on the motherboard. So QNX brought up a screen saver on the slow VGA controller, where reading from display memory was very slow. The screen saver was reading from display memory to move the screen saver box around. This used up about 15% of the CPU.

The QNX people were really embarrassed about that and fixed the screen saver. We just reconfigured to turn off the display entirely.
To understand your stance here: What would it take for you to trust this service without running your own?
given the complexity even quite simple cellular models can show (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wa-Tor for something a bit more "realistic" than the classics like Game of Life), something like that could be a starting point: generate a field with cells with neighbors, define some basic properties per cell, have a set of rules/policies to execute under certain circumstances.
That's a simplistic viewpoint. If ads weren't useful at all, no one would click on them, or, if they did, they wouldn't buy whatever was at the other end.

There is such a thing as artificially inflated demand, which can be a problem, but I don't think it's likely that all advertising falls in that bucket.

There Are Now Twelve New Types of Cloud
Thanks for the mention, love Vice. Would you mind providing a link?
You're essentially asking for a whole new operating system.

If the new operating system has transparent rules about resources and ownership, whether that's files or users or any other system-level entity, that sounds like a great idea.

In the typical Linux model, we build programs from source with makefiles that can do anything or we install programs from package repositories with scripts that can do anything. In many cases, we even do this while running with root privileges.

Sometimes people talk as if this is a great thing, but the reality is that it's crude, opaque, error-prone and dangerous. If someone suggested such a clumsy design as the foundation for almost everything we do in a new operating system today, they'd be laughed out of the room. But we tolerate it in Linux because there's so much already built that way and the cost of changing would be very high.
