>The idea is that everything is reduced to elementary physical structures. Therefore nothing can be extra-physcial, super-natural or otherwise. I.e. non-dualist. Therefore the mind must be reduced to physical structures.

I understand that some people claim this to be a definition, but that hardly makes it one. What's 'extra-physical'? To do this, you must first define what boundaries physicality has. I don't think there is any good definition to be offered here without begging the question.

>So is there anything that is uncaused? When the scientist constructs an experiment do they think "oh what if the billiard ball moved without cause?".

A scientist has a model for certain phenomena that can be verified experimentally. One can call this causality, sure, but that it leads inexorably towards determinism seems far from clear to me.

>Actually "new-agey" thought tries to do the exact opposite: save dualism and free will.

I have no opinion on the question of 'free will' as you frame it. Is it part of the human condition that one's circumstances have a large role to play in how life proceeds? Certainly! I'm just against the view that science has anything to say about it.
Example: 1 USD is currently worth 0.79 GBP. If I wanted to bet that the USD would decrease in value against the GBP, I could enter into a futures contract (assuming the existence of a wiling counterparty) to purchase 0.75 GBP for 1 USD at a date 3 months in the future. If I was right, and the exchange rate drops to 1 USD = 0.7 GBP, then I profit 0.75 - 0.7 = 0.05 GBP.

Instead, I could have just bought the 0.79 GBP immediately and then waited 3 months, and then I would have profited even more: 0.79 - 0.7 = 0.09 GBP.

What does the existence of the futures market allow me to do that I can't already do in this scenario?

My point was that in cases where production is cyclical or storage fees are nonzero, it might be difficult/impossible to trade on the spot market, or it might be prohibitively expensive to hold the item yourself. But currencies don't have either of these problems.

It is not. It's one of those things that qualifies as "Not Even Wrong".
The idea that we can predict human behavior and thus invalidate the concept of free will is that there exists an algorithm that takes less time to run than the future human behavior it predicts will happen in. However, certain biological processes, like protein folding, take exponential time to compute, so we're going to have to make due with approximations for now. Thus, there will always be some aspect of the unknown with regards to human behavior until we get those algorithms to run faster.

What makes email inherently better for your React/Respond dichotomy?

What prevents redundancy is searchability. Most email clients are great for that, but Slack's searchability is inherently better than email - if you're not part of a channel (because you weren't on the team at that point), posts can be searched once you do gain access to the channel.

Emails between other team-members excluding you cannot since you will never have access to them.

What would somebody from NBC be looking to get out of Snapchat? I admit fully that I'm too old for Snapchat-- I don't want my stuff to disappear, I don't do anything embarrassing and I forget enough crap already. Is it just eyeballs? Why does Snapchat want to host a TV show? Is it going to disappear? I grew up with the whole "must see TV" thing, where if you weren't in front of the TV when Seinfeld came on, then you weren't gonna see it. It fucking sucked, to be blunt. Who would want to go back to that? And if Snapchat is just putting tv shows into the app because disappearing snap whatevers aren't enough to drive whatever number they need to drive, what competitive advantage are they going to use to go after the many, many, many content players already in the mix?

The whole thing just leaves me scratching my head.
I can feel there is something really interesting here but the writing, title and explanation here seems to be poor. The surprise here is the random starts and stops as well as 10X speed difference in the DNA replication process. Wouldn't it be more surprising that these processes run at the same speed?

"...started watching individual DNA strands..." I'm wondering how important the visualization and nature of "filming" helped to form the idea or prove the hypothesis that replication is a async process. I didn't quite gather which is more impressive, the filming or the discovery.

“Sometimes the traffic in the next lane is moving faster and passing you, and then you pass it. But if you travel far enough you get to the same place at the same time.” also doesn't quite make sense to me as the video clearly shows no queuing structure as seen in real life traffic, and there is no real hypothesis to explain the sudden stops and starts.

Really though it's probably mild steel which is not heat-treatable. Mild steel fairly weak (for steel) but it doesn't get much stronger or weaker from heat exposure and isn't brittle.

High carbon, stainless, and fancy stuff is where you can run into problems. In general you won't see this on car or bike frames, too expensive in bulk.

If it's a newer bike it's probably aluminum which you can usually still weld with impunity. If it was high grade alloy the heat could matter, but as far as I know nobody cares that much about bike frames. Heat treatment, or "seasoning" in the case of some aluminum is expensive.

> “It’s a real paradigm shift, and undermines a great deal of what’s in the textbooks,” he said.

Sorry, but is this really that new? I've never been taught that the DNA strands coordinate with each other while replicating, so it seems quite possible that synthesis of each strand can be independent of each other.

I think this is the most insightful comment on HN I have read in a long while.

We are limited by the concepts our minds can form. As I commented before, free will could arise from an infinity of antecedents; the fact that we find it difficult to wrap our minds around such a concept does not in any way imply anything about its veracity.

I could not agree more; things like consciousness and free will are very likely to require concepts of almost infinite complexity to model. It is the height of hubris to say something as inane as "science disproves free will", to think we can settle these questions with with glibly, with concepts that are the product of a mere 70-or-so years of mental development
Together FreeBSD, ZoL and the Illumos groups work on OpenZFS.

Oracle closed off Solaris. The decendent of Open Solaris is Illumos. Oracle ZFS and OpenZFS are not hte same thing.

OpenZFS repo is the upstream, though it is closely tracks the Illumos version.

From there the projects pull on OpenZFS to create their implementations. New features are developed independently by the projects with rules that a new feature must be enabled in a downstream distro for X period of time before it can be upstreamed into OpenZFS.
Hmm…possibly there's some other process going on during those "slowdowns" that we haven't observed yet?
Curated content direct from the content producers is the way to go. I think it a poor practice to use Facebook for anything but quickly catching up on what family and friends are doing.

Steel is real, man. It'll bend, not break.

But in seriousness, yeah, I was following very closely behind a fellow who snapped his fork jumping over a bump in the road. I almost went over him. Despite the helmet, he lost memory of the accident. I called an ambulance for him and left my number. He called me the next day asking what had happened.

It was a nice aluminum frame, looked in good condition. Always check carefully for hairline fractures when buying a used aluminum bike.

What if you don't have any USD? You can also instead by 10 futures contracts and make 0.50 GBP.

Additionally futures aren't just for "betting" they are also for offloading risk. For example a company might expect an sale in another currency and might want to "convert" that earlier to offload the risk of making another purchase in a different currency.

I get that this question can be recursively applied. It's children's favorite game -- to keep asking "what is ____?". I'm going to guess that you disagree with philosophy as a whole and will keep questioning if anything philosophers discuss is well-defined. If that's the case why are we then discussing philosophy?

EDIT: you can also say "I disagree with physicalism" or "I'm a dualist". But saying all those things are not well-defined is merely a cop-out.

Yikes! Last time I looked, the intercontinental nuclear launch codes of any major power have not yet been proved to work.

But OK, I assume they still pass whatever dry-run test procedures exist. But if it is true that they are based on floppy-disks, then I don't think sticking with them is a net win for reliability and safety.

Bits rot, especially on floppies. So if they are still using them they have created procedures for refreshing the bits from backups. By now the floppies might be little more than ceremonial objects inside the systems that really determine the launch procedure.

And those systems would have evolved informally over time and might be ever-changing, poorly understood and poorly tested.

I feel this is irrelevant for this discussion, because none of what I or anyone else is arguing is that "it's their fault they're poor so screw them" as so many people here seem to want to conclude.

All I said was: Some people have bad work ethic. This means people they decide to not work when they should work, which causes them to end up in poverty. Therefore, to reduce poverty, part of our strategy should be doing things that improve work ethic (in addition to doing other things to solve mental illness, etc).

Nothing about that implies or requires any conclusion about whose absolute fault it is that some people are poor.

And it can't anyway, because as you've noted there is no objective answer to such a moral question.
This is amazing. I can't wrap my head around the fact that some brilliant people discovered this long back. Scientists and Physicists are so talented! And I can't center a <div> without googling. Sigh...
Pretty sure the GP doesn't care about the law in the analogy; the design of the car itself impedes your ability to drive with your feet.

In the same way, slack is frictionless to post one-liners; you have to go out of your way to post a multi-liner (and I personally have the constant worry I'll miss the shift and post half-finished in such systems).

It doesn't matter if the law (company) says to drive by hands; you have to be really intent on driving with your feet to get into a car and do such a clearly unnatural thing. It's difficult to imagine someone new getting in and thinking this must be the correct position, because the car does not support it naturally. It can be done, but only while dealing with friction.

Then compare slack to a bbs forum, where people naturally post paragraphs. Not coincidentally, the act of posting has more friction; CLRF is a newline, posting is a button off at the bottom of the page. To get a better ratio of value (writing) to friction, you'll simply have to write more and post less.

The law (company) can enforce unnatural behavior onto its populace, but when the law is unclear or unstated (or ignored) on the particular matter, the natural activity depends on the environment.

And slack is very clearly predisposed to a particular kind of posting.

Your argument highlights a sensational occurrence to disparage an large group of people.

It's like saying all Muslims are terrorists, or all people on food stamps are lazy...

It's not an overtly lie, but taken statistically... it's definitely a lie....and false and misleading.

Poverty is without a doubt structurally caused around the world.

There are obscure cases of people who cause themselves to be in poverty but most people do everything in their power not to be in poverty...and are in poverty because they don't have opportunities...
I'm starting to kind of hope there is just a giant "leak" of every single US citizen's basic public information including SSN, etc. Get it all out there so we can stop having the debate over what is private information vs. public.

Then we can stop having this conversation constantly. None of this information is secret, I would put SSN into "quasi-secret" land since it takes such minimal effort to get at it.

We've been relying on security through obscurity for far too long. If the only thing stopping mass identity theft is someone compiling a list of otherwise public information, it's far beyond time we re-evaluate where the true problem lies.

So yeah, I agree. At some point society is going to actually have to confront this in a useful manner vs. hysterics and patching over an obviously failed system.

They must be fighting it well enough. I know they suggested it's "early in the domestication" but it seems doubtful much will change. Cats have apparently changed very little in the last 10k years. (Assuming away sophisticated genetic modification. That's probably likely at this rate though) guess what I'm saying is cats may otherwise stay pretty wild without something like actual genetic engineering.

I, for one, hope they're never fully domesticated. I think their curiosity would be fast to go.
