IMO the blog post proposes a rather naive UI that will be too involved and confusing for this task. For advanced users, maybe, but then you want to actually define the "pretty good" etc. A drag-and-drop-choose-preference-order is better here, though still involved.

"[...] So. There we are. The foundation of Groklaw is over. I can't do Groklaw without your input. I was never exaggerating about that when we won awards. It really was a collaborative effort, and there is now no private way, evidently, to collaborate.

I'm really sorry that it's so. I loved doing Groklaw, and I believe we really made a significant contribution. But even that turns out to be less than we thought, or less than I hoped for, anyway. My hope was always to show you that there is beauty and safety in the rule of law, that civilization actually depends on it. How quaint.

My personal decision is to get off of the Internet to the degree it's possible. I'm just an ordinary person. But I really know, after all my research and some serious thinking things through, that I can't stay online personally without losing my humanness, now that I know that ensuring privacy online is impossible. I find myself unable to write. I've always been a private person. That's why I never wanted to be a celebrity and why I fought hard to maintain both my privacy and yours."

A person with just a degree is not qualified to design large structures. Licensure requires several years of experience under the supervision and mentorship of a professional. Schools teach the theory, but there's lots of practical details that require experience to learn and understand. You're just required to work with others who know what they're doing for a while. Then you're allowed to do things alone.

Yeah, flippant. :-/ Your writing style makes it seem like you just want to rage.

IDK, this seems like it's more an issue with Canada's justice system. Canada is more humane than the US is, and that means forgiveness. The article mentioned that the driver broke down crying in court. Does it seem to you like the driver DGAF about her actions?

There is a good points in the article you posted:

> Long-term data from the city show that drivers are responsible in the majority of pedestrian deaths. In spite of this, public-safety campaigns have tended to focus more on pedestrian behaviour. On Monday – coincidentally, at the same time as Ms. Taylor’s case was being heard – the police released a video urging those who walk to be more careful.

Yeah. With the stats from the USA that I posted, it seemed like it was drunk people that were putting themselves in danger. They share some responsibility. But if pedestrians don't have any behavior changes they can do to get better outcomes then of course, we should target drivers and re-engineer roads.
This struck a nerve in me.

What I found to be true over 15 years of a programmer carreer is that you can grow in your current job, but not by much. There exists some kind of psychological barrier for the people above you and they find all sorts of ways to put you down. Maybe it's just the money; who wants to spend more without knowing beforehand if they'll get more value?

So I'd say for a tech worker networking becomes extremely important if they are looking to move to a next step in their carreer, be it in terms of responsibility, money, new sub-area of work, or a mix of all.
no, it gave them power because they could vet the men beforehand. pre-internet they had to put out their information and hope to be enticing, but had no reciprocal visibility into the men who wanted them.

Lyft isn't available in a LOT of places. Not even in all the major cities in North America unlike say, Uber.
The article does not claim that we have no control over speeding. We do have control over or speed in numerous ways. The article merely says that signs have little impact on how fast a community goes on any stretch of road... other factors end up being more of a factor. At the same time, road safety is not as strongly tied to the speed of traffic.

This article has an attention-grabbing headline (cop says to increase speeds!), but really it's drawing attention to how there are many factors that go into road usage and laws and there are places where people are starting to take these other factors into account. Sounds like a micro-level revolution in how the executive branch of US government operates.

> "beyond the right kind of computation"

Could you explain this?

The observer isn't a mystery, I agree. But the original comment seems spot on: if you are describing consciousness as a state of matter, then you're saying something like, "matter inherits a different set of qualities when it's in a consciousness state (as opposed to a solid or liquid state)." If the state change leads to a change of quality, then you're once again proclaiming consciousness as an object with observable qualities rather than a the observer without quality. This is fine if we're talking about an observable consciousness, but then who is that observer?

I agree with the original comment that this paper is nonsense. I'm surprised how many papers are spent discussing consciousness this way. In biological terms, fine. In physical terms, impossible.
Or, to put in a different thought, we are all subject to the physical realities of the world we live in, and we barter and trade what we each have with one another to better control the world itself, while being controlled by it simultaneously.

> But Christianity does not have an equivalent of Sharia

Christianity absolutely has, in each of it's iterations, bodies of behavioral norms which believers seek to have instituted by the State, or institute by themselves (sometimes through violence) independent of the State.

> (Pakistan has Sharia courts)

The UK, for example, doesn't need the Christian equivalent (ecclesiastical courts, which, also, the established Church has) for blasphemy, because blasphemy against Chritianity has, for over 400 years, been cognizable as an offense against the common law, so the regular courts deal with that. [0]

> nor does it have much to say about statecraft in general.

Christianity has quite a lot to say about statecraft. Thanks to the success of European colonialism, much of what powerful branches of Christianity has said about it have been influential in shaping international law, both customary and treaty.

In Pennsylvania, I once rode my bike on a 55-mph, four-lane divided highway that is designated as an official bike route[0]. Traffic was sparse on the road so it objectively probably wasn't too bad, but it wasn't a pleasant experience to have cars rush by you at those speeds.

But you can. Just like you can stereotype folks from SF being against Trump or pro gay-rights. See the study linked elsewhere in the thread. The majority of Muslims believe things that aren't acceptable by current Western standards (like having Sharia be the law).
That's not how the 5th amendment works. It's not a flag you raise to say "nah nah, I'm not gonna tell you!" for the purpose of attracting a criminal lawsuit.

That being said, "where there's smoke there's fire"... but pleading the 5th isn't always the drama we see in Law and Order and Making a Murderer - often individuals just don't want to be misconstrued and prosecuted for saying something and their words being taken out of context.
Not that shell. The UI shell. Explorer. You can browse FTP sites just like network file systems, including drag and drop.
Ah, this is virtualization, though: the OS was trying to integrate the software from the old OS, letting it interact with all the older APIs of the modern OS as if it was running directly on it. Less like a VM, more like Wine.

My point was less about compatibility, and more about security. If you took this approach, old software would still expose the new OS it was virtualized atop of, to its old security flaws. So you'd still have to move away from old software, eventually, for security reasons.

But with proper VM isolation (and checkpointing, and a few other things), you could still have programs like IE6 around today, serving in its last purpose as the '90s-era Intranet web-services equivalent to the '80s 3270 mainframe terminal clients.

Most any modern VM software can offer this level of isolation, but most have "host integrations" that turn them back into security holes. To be able to ship a static, EOLed copy of XP that could run IE6 indefinitely, without that causing problems, your compatibility layer would need to be a lot less like "Windows XP Mode" or Rosetta, and a lot more like DOSBox or qemu.

There is one case where this already happens: many pieces of IBM z/OS software have been wrapped in layers of hard-isolated emulators for decades now, such that programs from the 70s are able to continue running without recompilation, atop a stack of VMs, where many of the intermediary pieces of VM software have themselves long been EOLed.

Trying to accuse me of "anti-Google bias" is amusing when you are literally paid by Google, and have an inherent conflict of interest/bias of the highest order. Pot, meet kettle. Although, really, I'm not either because I've never been paid by any company with stakes in this discussion. I know you can do better than ad hominem.

I am saying there is no evidence, or even a claim by Google, that their cars are capable of functioning outside a pre-mapped area. You have presented zero evidence of it whatsoever, and are trying to use Google's marketingspeak about how fancy their machine learning things are to insinuate I should assume Google's technology is more advanced than they can demonstrate.

You are highlighting particular capabilities of their collision avoidance on that mapped area to suggest they don't need a mapped area, which is also a non-supported claim. It is entirely plausible, and in fact, likely, that Google's visual mapping for collision avoidance is sophisticated, and yet still fully dependent on a map as a baseline.

Google's marketing claims continue to be extraordinary, and often untrustworthy, and you're going to have to do better than that.

Find me any, literally any, evidence that a Google self-driving car can operate outside the very tiny fenced in areas Google says they can operate. As far as I can tell, there is none, because you are making a claim that even Google itself is not making about it's cars.
No he is not being punished for thinking and speech.

You're treating the documents containing his proposal as a completely separate issue from his claim of professional status, but the documents are a doubling down upon his original and repeated false claim of being an engineer, which claim he was warned he should not be making.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

> Why suggest a worse solution (encouraging all drivers to go faster) instead of punishing more people for driving irresponsibly?

This is the same logic that failed in the "War on Drugs". First off, there's a false dichotomy between proscribing a behavior and encouraging it. And strict enforcement of a "crime" that it turns out lots of people commit on a regular basis doesn't really work so well.
Bah. Another listicle... although, #5 (social skills) and #6 (great people) are good enough for me. If you surround yourself with great people, your motivation to do great work is high. If you develop good social skills, you're more effective working in teams. Great people + great collaboration = great career in the long run.

Peaceful coexistence is one of those things where its desirability to society goes beyond personal preference. Not saying that there is no cost that is too high to pay for coexistence. However, in general "but they don't want to coexist" is a sign to look for ways in which that want itself might be fostered and differences reconciled, not an argument to let people hate each other to their heart's content. At least if you consider human life valuable, or, in modern nuclear-capable times, prefer the survival of the species to its potential extinction.

That said, I would still trust someone trying to reform that from within to be more likely to get it right, rather than people who have never lived in that society, and comment on it one way or the other in a programming forum (such as, particularly, myself).

From my perspective, if new tenants are willing to contribute more to society to live somewhere, that should trump who was on the land first. When they sell, the original owners are well compensated by appreciation in property value.

Artificially suppressing property taxes to protect entrenched owners is a lot like taxing the internet to support newspapers and record stores.
I'm a longtime Unroll.me user. I've found the service very useful.

I'm not sure how I feel about all this. But after reading the threads - I think these things are true:

1) Unroll me does disclose that it sells your data in a way it considers anonymized.

2) The CEO is here apologizing for not making this more clear, not for the practice.

3) There is no evidence they violated their own terms.

What are people upset about most here? Is it the practice or weak disclosure?

If disclosure, what would constitute appropriate disclosure? I pretty much assumed they were doing something like this. How else would they support the service?

As a user, if they are selling my data in a way that is not linked to my name, but used in aggregate statistics, why should I care? I don't think I do. In fact, I can image such data would make the overall economy more efficient.

On the other hand, if such data is being used to ID me specifically, I am more anxious. But there is no evidence of this, correct?

I am genuinely asking. I might cancel my account, but more over general security anxiety, vs. what appears to have happened.

It's basically a boilerplate provision in asset purchases, Merger/aquisition, assignments, licensing agreements, etc...

However, Uber's behavior is so open and notorious in terms of disregarding policy/rules/regulations/laws that it really wouldn't surprise me that if there is bad behavior here, then evidence exist showing Uber knew or should have known; therefore, if that is the case then even with indemnification, warranties and guarantees in any and all Agreements concerning IP, Uber could be liable.

Still unless that smoking gun evidence is found or some evidence of spoilation to shift the burden, it is a high legal standard to use past bad behaviors as evidence of bad behavior here, unless there is a clear pattern. As easy as it is to demonstrate past bad behavior can it be demonstrated that have knowingly/intentionally/negligently violated IP of its competitors?
EDIT: I was wrong. Original comment:

Last I checked, encryption _is_ banned in the U.S., isn't it? So it's already the case that the government could selectively jail people for using encryption, as it sees fit.
Valuable comment, thank you for it.

I am not introverted at all, quite the contrary. For me the blocker however is a lack of patience, burn-out and being tired almost all the time.

The way out of this is of course exercise, good sleep, and above all -- don't think about networking as an obligation. When I started accepting the fact that networking is a very basic activity practiced by humans probably since the dawn of their existence, it started becoming easier for me to do it and I didn't have to fake a thing when meeting people.

It does feel rewarding indeed but I have long ways to go still. Learning to get out of my flat and actually go meet people at events is a hard thing to overcome. I guess in technical terms this is the initial bootstrap overhead and it'll become easier with time. :)

It's also important to note that such interpretation is subjective, and there are different schools of thought within Islam, that ascribe different contexts (and, consequently, different scopes) to the verses.

Also, the mainstream consensus changes over time - there has been a fairly long period, for example, during which the Sword Verse was interpreted to imply that the Caliph does have the authority (and in some madhabs, the obligation) to wage offensive war against unbelievers:
