Treaties like this have a big signaling component, just like macroeconomics. Improvements are perfectly possible without them, but even a toothless treaty affects all kinds of decisions downstream.

We also take into account that energy production is about large capital investments that aren't looking at tomorrow, but a decade or two ahead at the minimum. Building a new coal plant today isn't a bad idea because it'll be way to expensive to run in its first year, but because it'll be less and less attractive as time goes by, and will probably have its life cut short.

This is why on one hand, Trump's decisions aren't necessarily that hard hitting in the long run as long as the people building plants can expect his decisions today to be a historical aberration. It's the long run trendline that is important, and we can tell about that by what other stakeholders do.

That said, I'd not put much faith in most states caring about climate change individually. There's plenty of states that are deep red and where most energy today still comes from coal, and where candidates don't even bother mentioning an energy stance: Elections are about protecting religion and policemen and lower taxes. It's not that the states are relying on the federal government on the environment: If there's a mention of the environment, it's something like 'The EPA is too tough on our farmers'. This was a real talking point in Missouri's last election for governor, and guess what? the candidate that was in favor of letting farmers dump more chemicals into rivers won.

The federal government can force those states to make changes, but they'll have to be dragged kicking and screaming. It's good to have some states that lead the charge on this, but it's can't be the main way to do this. If this is decided state by state, the Midwest will be mostly powering itself with coal for decades.

I'm not sure if my original post just wasn't clear enough or something. Retirement is great, my point was about non-retirement money.

Building capital for a business is exactly the kind of medium-term goal I was referring to, where you wouldn't want it getting spoiled by a market crash at the wrong time.

As a glimmer of hope, consider this: it may be easier to decode a much larger system with redundancies than the highly evolved and tightly optimized 302 neuron system.

The C. elegans has a small number of heterogenous neurons. Some are quite task specific.

The human brain, on the other hand, has ~100billion. While they do not all have the same structure, within specific regions you will see repeated patterns of homogeneity and redundant encodings.

It may be a harder problem to start with the small system than the large one.

A few years ago, Chrome decided not to add a "mute tab" option, explaining, "After much debate, we decided not to proceed with a tab mute control, as this crosses a very important line: If we provide Chrome controls for content, we’re implying that Chrome should take on a responsibility to police content."[1]

It appears their opinion has changed. Of course, it's likely due to financial reasons[2].

That said, Chrome has blocked pop-ups forever... and I think I agree with this decision, as it will help both Google and content owners. I don't think most people won't install ad blockers if ads aren't obnoxious.

Unless you write it down, it could simply be your brain fooling itself, pretending you took a mental note. I had the exact same hypothesis, and so I started writing down the details of my hyper-real dreams. So far none of it came back in the déjà vu form.

> is a society in which taxes could be evaded so freely on such a large scale really desirable?

Tax evasion has been and always will be an issue of popular morals. All you need for evasion is a medium of exchange (or barter) and for both sides not to report the transaction.

Collecting taxes is trivial when either (or both) of the parties to a transaction report it and impossible if they don't. So the only way taxes can work is for most people to be convinced that the taxes are reasonable and what they pay for is justified. If most people are not convinced then they'll lie for each other and the government is screwed; see Italy. Central banks can't save you from that, only your own citizens can.

And the laws against money laundering have nothing to do with tax evasion by the common man and everything to do with the war on drugs. Putting a stop to that train wreck would only help everybody.

Yeah, a rather extreme example, and of course we hope they are being sufficiently well compensated in experience, though we know that's not always the case.

As another example, there's the people working 70 hour weeks across 3 jobs - no one of those is paying what's necessary to sustain the employee.

Moreover, if you're okay with high turnover, there may be people willing to work for you unsustainably for a time just to lower their burn rate.
It sounds like you are suggesting that wages should be set at a minimum level that is strictly above any government assistance. So if you have a job, you are disqualified from any assistance what so ever, and all the government assistance should be focused on people without jobs, essentially to bring them to that minimum.

That's similar to what welfare was like before welfare reform in 96

The passage about Capitalism not knowing what to do with its capital anymore rings true. We've allowed society to bifurcate into 1. a great many people without, who know exactly what they'd do with an extra $100, and 2. a tiny number of ultra-rich who literally can't figure out what to do with all their money and have run out of possessions to gold-plate and diamond-encrust. What does the end-game look like? When interest rates are perpetually zero and you simply can't squeeze another single dollar out of the masses?
Your summary is what the developers of the iPhone app Mino thought (they were some friends of mine; I drew the graphics for the game, and got sucked into several hours of deposition for the case to explain how I had chosen the colors from first principles, etc.). But the judge ruled otherwise, as the GP poster described.

Theoretically game rules cannot be protected in this way, but if you draw the wrong judge, too bad for you. Unless you have several years to kill and the $lots required to take a case up through every level of appeals where you still might lose in the end, I recommend against building a for-profit Tetris-like game.

That's why I used time not color: you have an inherent notion of what it means to move things along that axis. Your point about color also doesn't quite hold -- it's easy enough to map the rainbow colors to rotation. It obviously takes practice, but it's not hard. (Helps to start with two spatial and a color.)

And of course it's tied to 3 dimensional space -- the whole point is to couple the correspondence between a high dimensional phase space and a blob in 3 dimensions.

But you do have an awareness of the phase space, not just the 3D location -- and you can use it to think about higher dimensional objects.
They have 32-bit through Genode OS Framework and VirtualBox. That might mean they got it through what Genode project was doing with full virtualization as indicated here:

In what way was USA 1948 more ethical than USA 2016?

When I think of USA 1948, I think of things like Jim Crow, women requiring their husband's permission to open a bank account, interracial marriage being forbidden, homosexuals staying in the closet for fear of their lives, young men being forced into military service against their will, and lobotomy as standard psychiatric treatment.

But, you know, there's occasional swearing on TV now, so maybe it balances out.

Pro tip. We've got a lot of mixed js and ts at the moment and when you're really lazy you can take advantage of how every object is a dictionary in js and just do something like `window["notification"]` instead of window.notification, which resolves to an 'any' type in ts.

Obviously you should try and minimise that usage, but it's a useful trick to know.
I wasn't going to give-up uBlock origin just because Google introduced "better ads", and the reason for that is tracking. Where's the "better tracking" policy (by which I mean less tracking)? But as you say, tracking is only going to get worse with Google's "better" ads.

As for don't be evil, I think that was completely lost right around the time they started using their algorithms to favor their services in the "neutral" Google search, and when they started influencing search results to help certain political candidates.

The reporting DB in my case is Redshift. The business use case isn't exactly charting. My goal is to enable a business user to reference certain types of important aggregates in Google Sheets. By enabling this, business users can then compose tabular views of data that are rich, dense, and always correct and up to date. It also allows business users to very quickly prototype dashboards and make detailed specs for reports before an analyst or engineer has to get involved.

This is one tool in our tool belt for communicating with data. We also have an in house SQL-in-chart-out platform that everyone has access to and we have Looker for deeper exploratory work.
You may have misread: the post said "differently" and not "definitely".
Or maybe you've got the causality backwards: We humans are the results of a designer-less stochastic evolution, and we internalize its operating principles, which come back out again when we look for "intelligence".

In other words, it's the anthropic principle again: If the universe operated differently, and different patterns were evolved and led to us, then we would consider different patterns to look intelligent.

Take driving, for example.

1. I drive a lot less, because I can run errands online rather than having to go somewhere, like depositing a check. I do nearly all shopping online now.

2. The navigator apps eliminate the map-in-my-lap, and I've found more efficient routes to drive places than I used to.

3. I no longer have to give out detailed directions to get to my residence.

4. I don't go to the movie theater anymore.
In general learning to code is up there with learning to read and write and math as it can be applied to almost any area or industry and be used to do simple scripting to advanced systems development.

Pet peeve: Low interest rates somehow hurting the huddled masses. Low interest rates benefit those with loans and hurts those with capital. Poor people are massively more likely to benefit from low interest rates than to be hurt by it.

Given the heavy biases of the anthropic principle, odds don't look good (... when we can't take back on some intentionality towards anything, behind anything).
I suspect "Whom am I to judge" is also correct, but only because of a technicality. (It was an intentional play on words, so even moreso now, who am I to judge?)

"_Whom_ am I to judge", asking which people ought I be judgemental about, versus "_Who am I_ to judge", meaning I really ought not throw stones in glass houses.
That's a silly argument. Bitcoin does not rely on validation by 3rd parties. It relies on validation by a large number of independent third parties who can only act in a way inconsistent with the rules of the system if a majority of them collude. And even then what they can do is very narrowly prescribed (a double spend attack, specifically). That is vastly different from trusting a single independent third party like a bank who has literally no restrictions whatsoever on what they can do unilaterally.
The Problem with Our Maps
A modern Intel CPU is a different beast entirely. Even relatively simple ICs become exceedingly difficult to reverse at lower process nodes, so I agree with the answer. My comment was more geared towards simpler ICs at a fairly accessible process node (65 nm and older). Also, my use of the word "reverse" in no way includes the process of figuring out what each part of the circuit does in detail.

Nonetheless, at least in my field of research, the assumption is that there exist nation states with "unlimited" resources that can in fact reverse complex ICs. In reality, I doubt even the US DoD has that level of resources available, so I like to think of the assumption as an analogue to the oracle model in cryptography.
After decapping an IC, an experienced eye can usually identify patterns and make educated guesses at what each module in a circuit does, at least at a very high level. This can be helpful in and of itself, without diving into an exact understanding of how everything in the chip works.

The context in which "Don't be evil" was coined was one where the dominant tech company was being sued by multiple nations for rampant abuse of its monopoly position to do things like push competitors out of business and force business partners into ridiculously bad positions.

By contrast, tracking people who by and large don't care enough to try and stop it is not particularly evil. You and I might see it as a great evil, but it seems unfair to accuse Google of hypocrisy for not valuing the same things as I do.
