It's not good that comments like this against the group think are voted down. I certainly do not want my wages to go down, and I am not sure yet that globalization is good in the long run. When equilibrium is reached, in a world with infinite resources and space we would all benefit this is true. But in our current situation there will be more demand for limited natural resources if everyone is living at the same standard which will in turn lower my standard as a US citizen.

The greater effect on non ultra wealthy people now is the distribution of the wealth at the top for what is currently the outsourcing class, but is quickly becoming the machine/AI owner class.

There's Calorie Mate Balanced Food Block from Otsuka Pharmaceutical Company in Tokyo.[1] It's like Soylent, but in solid form, without the pretension.

> "sooner the better" etc - but that's idealism, not pragmatism

I don't get this mentality at all. The more we put off curbing environmental change, the more expensive it becomes to fix.

I feel like it's analogous to credit card debt – what you're saying is, don't worry about that mountain of credit debt, with it's 14% interest rate; pay the minimum and contribute to a mutual fund instead. But the credit interest overruns the fund interest, so you lose money. Similarly, I think the costs of climate change are going to overrun any other economic issue we decide to focus on.

Take the spirit of my comment and exercise the principle of charity:

I already suggested that we attach restrictions on what constitutes a valid reinvestment in the US. If you considered the spirit of my comment, it should be obvious that I would support restrictions that would prohibit the loophole you suggested.

Maybe we can even make it so the money can only be brought home piecemeal, one investment at a time, with each investment going through a process that demonstrates that the overwhelming majority of each repatriated tax dollar is going to benefit the US economy.

Your #1, #2, and #3 are all the same thing, but I think it's hugely important:

Medical records can show all kinds of markers about your past / current behavior that let people paint pretty horrible assumptions about eachother.

Type 2 Diabetes? Man you must eat poorly.

Herpes? You must have gotten from being promiscuous and risky

Depression? Must not be able to deal with the shit that is real life.

Hormone therapy? Dental issues? Pain killers? Allergies? I mean the list is almost as long as the list of all medical issues that people.

Just about every medical condition, people paint with behavioral moral/ethical judgement which is almost entirely unfair. I think medical privacy is hugely important for society as we currently are, and losing it would not change these effects, but instead increase the ease to discriminate against them.

As I said, that distinction matters for Apple's spurious "compelled speech" argument.
> If I want my source code under Apache-2.0, why should I have to change it to GPL just for you.

You don't have to. Don't use the GPL'd code. The author of the GPL'd work has chosen unwaivering freedom for the user over all else. You are free to write your own implementation. Why should that developer have to allow you to use her code in proprietary software?

Speaking personally: I'm a free software activist. I write my code in the hope that it will be useful to others, but under the condition that it always remain free/libre. I would rather my software never be used at all than be incorporated into a proprietary program. In certain cases, depending on the community (e.g. Web), I recognize that my choice might certainly mean that nobody will use the software. If I choose the LGPL for something to permit its use in proprietary software, then it's a strategic choice.[0] I currently have no LGPL'd projects.

Huh? These customers will sell wherever there are customers. They can't just move their American customers abroad so they earn money from them outside the country.
I agree. I was responding to someone who thinks that will be commoditized by "auto parts companies". Whether or not that's true, safety is the most important component of the user experience of a self-driving car.

Once that's figured out, the question turns to "Am I buying the car to own? Am I calling it from a mapping application like Uber or Apple Maps? What does the car look like? What new seating arrangements are enabled without the need for a driver? How much better can the entertainment features be when built by a software company instead of a car company? Can the car tell me what's wrong with it, instead of simply illuminating the check engine light? Or better yet, automatically contact the manufacturer to set up a service appointment that works with my calendar?" Etc.
I would love to see a survey of the group of people who find Penrose compelling.

Anecdotally, I find the people drawn to his view are largely physicists. And the people who scorn him are largely "cognitive scientists". (I am closer to the second group than the former).

What you find to be "reasonable mechanisms", I find to be completely unreasonable. No, I don't think entanglement is a "reasonable mechanism" for "the fact that a bunch of disconnected neurons produce one mind."

I don't even know why one would think that quantum entanglement is even vaguely relevant to the "problem", and I think it has something to do with a misunderstanding of the problem.

Do you think that there is a problem of mind in the form of "a bunch of disconnected neurons produce one mind"?
They can't. They've already proven they can't do good UX even under a paid service so the only thing left to compete on is price and reliability and then they're competing against free and voluntarily hosted distributed redundancy. There's no value that can be added to that (other than removing the risk of criminal punishment).
I think there's a subtle difference. While dogmatic is often used when in context of religions it's not exclusively related to religion.

Google's definitions of religion:

>the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.

>a particular system of faith and worship

>a pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance

and of dogmatic:

>inclined to lay down principles as incontrovertibly true

I think the most precise use of religion is in connection with faith or a core belief system and lifestyle (which some open source advocates certainly fit), while strong positions in a particular topic or narrow scope, e.g. the GPL, tend to be better described as dogmatic.

Which, reading back to the parent comment and the scope of the thread, I guess either could be used fairly appropriately.

A better place of where I think dogmatic would be the preferred wording would be in reference to tabs vs. spaces or vim vs emacs.

I don't think quantum physics is the correct level of abstraction to think about consciousness. Consciousness, if anything, is a process at macro level, not atomic level.
I agree, but who defines what a fundamental human right is? Healthcare is man made and not universally accessible even in places like the US.

What makes it a fundamental human right? The fact that it says so in the constitution of some countries doesn't make it a fundamental human right.

Is it a fundamental human right like the fact that you can think whatever you want? Because thats a god given ability that nobody can take away. Healthcare is just a modern luxury. You might call it necessary, but healthcare didnt really exist even 60 years ago. People died of really silly little things just 60 years ago. What makes it fundamental?

I am not going to slice and dice numbers because that's irrelevant. The data I've seen indicates the number of afflicted is far greater than the 25% you are alluding to due to Medicaid expansion.

Yet, let's leave it at that. Let's concede it is only 25% of the folks on Medicaid. We are at 75 million people enrolled right now and firmly headed towards 100 million if nothing changes.

And so, per your number, that means 19 to 25 million people are in debt with the government for their medical care.

You keep calling it "fear mongering". All I did is provide links to source information where the way the program works is clearly laid out. And everything is factually correct.

Here's the part you don't seem to want to concede: If someone is put into Medicaid when they are, say, 40 because they don't qualify for subsidies and can't afford anything else, they are likely to stay there for a long time. And I'd be willing to bet money, they have no clue what's coming.

So, 15 years later they are still on Medicaid only now they shift over to becoming a debtor to the government for aspects of their medical care. And it so happens that after 50 to 55 years of age most people start having greater needs.

Our population is living far longer now, with 90+ not being uncommon. Which means that the 100 million or more that will be on Medicaid over the next decade or two will have a greater component of 55 or older folks. And every single one of them will owe money to the government for health care.

This isn't fear mongering, this is a mathematical reality.

> It's fine if the resources for elder care come from the assets of the people receiving the care.

Ah. OK. Now we understand each other.

I do not agree with this. Not at all. And mostly because most people have no clue they are accumulating debt.

If we did NOT call it medical insurance. If we classified it clearly for what it is. And if we made certain everyone knew what they were walking into it might be a different matter.

I know you are going to say it's right there in the forms. Nobody reads the fucking things. They want healthcare and they are placed between a rock and a hard place. They sign on the dotted line and move on.

-------------------

The fundamental disagreement here is that I am not OK with there being a program that turns people 55 and older into debtors to the government for their medical care.

You don't have a problem with the idea.

That, I think, is the bottom line. Everything else is slicing and dicing numbers. This, to me, is a question about the morality of the thing, not about statistics.

I'll be Mr. Reasonable Compromise. It's both a wonderful thing and a risk. Which of those two it becomes depends on the entire ecosystem around installable apps, trust and verification.

I've never had a problem with 3rd party dialers on Android. But I can smell a scam and I'm technically literate.

To the best of my knowledge there's never been a major dialler related security mishap. In fact much of the panic about Android's "malware ridden ecosystem" seems overblown. Nobody I know has ever had an issue to the best of my knowledge.

But it's definitely a possibility and it's highly probable that eventually something bad will happen on a large scale without some better controls - albeit hopefully not the type that Apple imposes. Cost vs benefit and all that.

I think it's actually going to be a trough. You have the creative frontend devs that are a mix of engineers and artists that make intuitive UIs. and the highly skilled ML/AI/PHD/Masters western educated engineers that will probably still be highly competitive. The ones hit the hardest will be your standard line engineer, the "Java Spring API" maintainers devs who just take tables from a DB and expose them as json blobs, write data feeds etc. This can easily be outsourced for much cheaper, and requires almost zero cultural knowledge, and is the bread and butter of any business.

I've been using Kodi/XBMC for years, and can't believe anyone actually uses the streaming services... when I'd tried it the quality all really sucked.

Recently got an NVidia Shield TV, which I've been using kodi for my local/network media, and it's been okay (may retire/reuse my htpc). What I've enjoyed about the shield is that it supports netflix, amazon video, directtv now, sling and pretty much every legal streaming service out there. Of course, once you add a few of them up, you aren't saving much over cable.

What does irk me though is all the "channels" with "free" apps that you have to verify your cable sub for... I mean, aren't they still going to show the ads anyway? wtf does it really matter... Not to mention the craptastic experience that was the latest superbowl. If the companies make online streaming actually better, and/or not charge an arm and a leg, it will get more legit users.

The international licensing issues are way worse though... there are teams of employees and developers and netflix just to handle/track international licensing issues, windows, dates, etc.

German megacorps do just as much manufacturing in developing economies as American megacorps.

The Mittelstand doesn't do the sort of manufacturing that the rust belt did 40 years ago. These smaller firms existing today only because of big disparities in quality between their products and cheaper competitors. They benefit enormously from the German government's investment in applied research.

Meh. It's toxic in the way development is toxic. There's a ~5% group of pragmatic systems thinkers, and a long tail of dudes on craigslist building vuln heavy PHP crapware for 25/hr.

But everything in the world is like that! Pizza, burritos, laptops, blue jeans, 3d printers.... it's just the way the math of life works out. Most ponies aren't pegasus. I don't think it's representative of the decline of society, I think it's representative of the distribution of society. And that's an impractical thing to get worked up about.

There are plenty of second-factor mobile apps as well: Duo, Authy, Google Authenticator, and Symantec VIP access, just to name a few.
Yeah, and it could also be interesting to see if they can quickly acclimate to more advanced technology. Back when the C919 launched, I read some speculation that it was built from stolen A320 plans - the dimensions are suspiciously similar. At least as I understand it, though, the current consensus is that they simply copied the size because the 320 proved the market for a plane of, more or less, exactly that size.

If they can do something similar with composites - learn from/reverse engineer Airbus and Boeing composite designs, but not genuinely steal plans - they might be able to skip a fair amount of the extreme pain with composites A and B have had over the past decade.
Soylent has refused to make basic changes to improve their nutritional profile based on widely known and accepted research. Lots of their micronutrients look optimized for cost and not for human health. E.g. Soylent uses D2, when even 30 seconds of googling should have turned up evidence such as: http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/84/4/694.full

"ergocalciferol should not be regarded as a nutrient suitable for supplementation or fortification."

D2 and D3 are metabolized so differently that they result in the "production of unique biologically active metabolites."

Ergocalciferol is the version used in the Soylent powder, while the bottled version doesn't even deign to inform the consumer what they are getting (it just says Vitamin D)

The fact that this problem exists and has existed for years with many of their ingredients indicates that they aren't even doing shallow research into nutrition.

(https://www.MealSquares.com try to provide multiple sources of all micronutrients from different food groups)
Huh. Okay. I'll have to read more about that then.
Does this mean they're going to make their own product? Currently, Soylent, the company, is just a marketing operation. Everything else is outsourced.

That's not an unusual strategy for hype-based products. Skyy Vodka and WD-40 were completely outsourced. Skyy Vodka was originally made by Frank-Lin Distillers Products in San Jose, the company that makes most of the low-end booze on the West Coast. Frank-Lin buys bulk ethanol by the tank car load (they have their own railroad sidings), does a little post-processing on the ethanol, takes in tap water and runs it through a deionzing plant, mixes them, adds flavoring, and bottles. They have a really fancy automated bottling line which can handle about a thousand different bottles and can change bottle types automatically. This is called product differentiation.
And who will buy all the neat gadgets that they're producing? It won't be the US; no middle class means no disposable income. It won't be the Chinese; they make everything in house. It probably won't be anyone else in Asia because they'll just buy it from China instead.

Devastation of the middle class is about equivalent to devastation of the entire US economy. After we've willingly and successfully transferred all our manufacturing and engineering knowledge and processes to other countries... The only playing chip the US will have left is food exports.
Two things.

One, you'd need to use an app and something actually secure to combine the password (that's what you're proposing, a second password that mutates the token) and the 2FA token -- if the password was a simple algorithm like you're suggesting, attackers could guess it a good proportion of the time. This is a good example of why you (or I) shouldn't try and invent security measures; leave it to professionals.

Second, the regular passwords had already been compromised on these accounts. Presumably, at the time they phished the regular password, they could have phished the special 2FA password as well. It also means that 2FA could no longer be used as a password reset mechanism -- because you need to have another password to use it. You've essentially made if 3FA.
