That would be youtube? (https://www.youtube.com/results?q=martin+shkreli&sp=CANQFA%2...), when he had twitter I followed him there.

He occasionally makes fun of/converse with uninformed people who try to yell at him for his infamy on his live-stream. I think they are harmless. He does other lite trolling for people less familiar with his infamy. Other times, just normal conversation in unconventional ways/tones, he seems to be a quick-thinker when talking. I generally find his doings on the internet entertaining.

In another life, I analyzed enterprise data. Variation in quotation marks was a common problem. I mean, is it "D'arcy" or "D’arcy"? Sometimes, I think, people would mangle data in spreadsheets, with auto-correct on.
> the more obvious assumption seems to be that economic output can support more middlemen, so I'm curious what data they used to argue that it works the other way around.

That was my conclusion as well - when times are good you don't mind someone who contributes little hanging around. When times are tough, they're out and what little value they offered is replicated by someone desperate to stick around. When a business has a lot of administrative staff times are good and those watching the market can conclude, due to the number of administrative hires, that times are good for a particular market sector. But concluding that it means middlemen are undervalued seems like whoever authored the study had some odd motive.
> Why loop in RL produces consciousness and other kids of loops don't?

Because it helps in selecting and carrying out actions, that are necessary for maximizing rewards. In real life, reward == more life, so, by natural selection, consciousness is that function that preserves the body.

> If you remove action, does consciousness stop?

If you remove actions, there would be no purpose to be learned by the agent, so it would not form values, so it would not have emotion. It would be just a feed-forward perception system that does not develop any response to anything.

> Following that definition even the simplest LR robot of few hundred lines would be conscious and more complex industrial robot with advanced machine vision would not be.

I'd say consciousness depends on the game the agent is playing, but there is always a kind of consciousness as long as the agent can answer adaptively to changing situations and learn to act better with time.

Simplifying drastically, fully general lossless data compression is impossible because of a simple No Free Lunch theorem. To achieve compression in practice, a compressor must exploit empirical regularities in the data. For example, PNG can achieve compression on most real world images because it exploits a regularity that they exhibit, which is that adjacent pixels tend to be highly correlated. So lossless data compression is about documenting and describing empirical regularities in real world observations; exactly the same as empirical science.

> If it's the behavior of neurons that's special, then consciousness is no longer identical with neurons, it's identical with any physical system that functions the same way.

Sure, I don't think brain uploads are impossible. If we were having this conversation in 100 years, I might be saying that "red experience" is the result of neuronal/circuit activity. But functions the same way is the relevant part - a rock does not function the same way. I don't think either of us expect a human to act the same way if their brain is replaced by a rock. On some level, we both know that the brain is fundamentally different from a rock.

> And then you have the possibility of very counterintuitive arrangements, like a billion Chinese instantiating a blue experience, or a meteor shower simulating experiences.

I think we can both agree that a computer is merely a physical object. That doesn't mean that surfing the web or playing a video game on "a billion Chinese"/"a meteor shower" is any less counterintuitive. Imagining any incredibly complex system being completely simulated by random physical phenomena is bizarre.

And the human brain is much, much more complex than a laptop. Really, go read up on it - 86 billion neurons, 100 trillion synapses, neurons firing 200 times a second. Consider the work it takes to simulate one second of brain activity (with far fewer neurons and synapses than a human brain)[1]:

> The simulation involved 1.73 billion virtual nerve cells connected by 10.4 trillion synapses and was run on Japan's K computer, which was ranked the fastest in the world in 2011.

> It took the Fujitsu-built K about 40 minutes to complete a simulation of one second of neuronal network activity in real time, according to Japanese research institute RIKEN, which runs the machine.

> The simulation harnessed the power of 82,944 processors on the K computer, which is now ranked fourth on the biannual international Top500 supercomputer standings (China's Tianhe-2 is the fastest now).

You're far more likely to see the dust in the air randomly play Casablanca for you from start to finish than you are for meteor showers to randomly start simulating the human brain. The human brain is complex. Really, really, really complex. So complex that weird emergent stuff like "red experience" happens. People have a hard time conceptualizing things when they become so vast; that's understandable. But there's no need to invent invisible qualia simply because we have a hard time understanding things on this scale.

First of all, Breitbart may use a definition like the one I provided, but I think so would the rather more mild-mannered Front Porch Republic[0], which should be noted has contributing members that identify more with the communitarian left than anything right-wing.

As for your suggestion to "just google" it, I decided to take you up on it. The first result I got was a definition from Wordnik:

"A national geopolitical policy in which the entire world is regarded as the appropriate sphere for a state's influence."

That seems to match up quite well with the first clause of my definition. Does Steve Bannon own Wordnik or the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language? I doubt it. Wikipedia doesn't really go into detail about specific ideological commitments.

How about the second clause? Well, certainly the phrase "backwards and unenlightened" implies that I perceive globalists as haughty and vain. What of it? I don't think they're evil incarnate. I've met a fair few. They seem decent enough.

Nonetheless, I think that if you believe that national boundaries should go away, and you come from a relatively high educational background (which many globalists seem to) then, in a dispassionate way, "unenlightened" is exactly how you are going to view those who insist on maintain local hegemony based on traditional institutions.

> If I defined 'libertarians' as, say, 'people who won't answer the question "How often do you beat your spouse?" with a simple yes or no'

What about the other direction; do pure statistics benefit from the inclusion of anecdotes? I would expect that to be the case, at least in the general population; but you seem to say that it's not.
Okay, let me try to write these "algorithms" in a concrete term.

Assume that you have a way of generating a sequence R_1, R_2, R_3, ... of real numbers in [0, 1]. (For simplicity, let's just consider [0, 1], because it still has the same cardinalityas R.) You have your "algorithm":

generate_digit(i, j):
Somehow compute the j'th digit of R_i.
return the digit

You are allowed to spend infinitely long time to return each digit. (That is, you can use constructions that are not even computable in finite time, as long as you can prove that given i and j, there is exactly one digit that satisfies your criterion.)

Cantor's objective is to defeat your algorithm by generating a real number not in the list. Similarly as above, it can be written as a function that returns the j'th digit, given j. Behold it in its full glory:

defeat_indexing(j):
digit = generate_digit(j, j)
return (digit + 1) % 10

That's it.
I think it is less the line count that I have problems with lately than line length. It's quite a specific use case, but I work with geographic data and occasionally deal with absolutely enormous wkb's that can be in the hundreds of thousands of characters. Couple that with writing in Hadoop typically going to one line per JSON representation and now I am regularly opening files to review that consist of a single line of text that might have upwards of 80,000 characters on average. Even beautified it still is problematic. VS code seems to be able to do it reasonably so the software stack cannot be blamed.

Have you ever even used a music app on an iPhone? They do not suffer from performance issues, even with several running at the same time. And Objective-C is not even garbage collected; it's reference counted, so I have no idea what point you're trying to make.

Having attended and played hundreds of rock shows throughout the world, I've seen many musicians use iPads as synthesizers, loopers, effects pedals, and DAW recording studios. I and all of my professional musician friends use it in performances for both audio and visuals. The audio latency and MIDI support of iOS is legendary among musicians, and is why they dominate the musical app market compared to Android with its unusable 20-300ms audio latency.
He's already answered you:

If you are going to allow this kind of notation, then

0.000...1 = 0 is equivalent to 0

0.000...9 = 9 x 0 = 0

0.000...1 + 0.000...9 = 0 + 0 = 10 x 0 = 0.000...10

(0.000...10) / 2 = 0/2 = 0

You're getting hung up on notation and missing the concept.

> especially if the extra $360 per tonne would allow smaller farms

I would expect the opposite. Wheat was worth a record-high ~$380/tonne back in 2008 and what happened was that the biggest farmers went spend-crazy on land, preventing the existing small farms from growing, and completely pushing thoughts of any new farm operations right out the window. We're still suffering the effects of that as price of land has yet to come down with the price of the crop.

> and provide more jobs in the farming industry.

I'm not sure that lack of jobs are really an issue in the farming industry, to be honest. There is already said to be a farm labour shortage as-is. I farm in Canada, so those are the numbers I'm most familiar with, but the news reports that there are 60,000 vacant farm jobs available. Other reports indicate that farm jobs have one of the fastest growing wages in the country (which I realize technically invalidates there being a shortage, but labour shortage has come to mean something other than shortage).

A big reason why agriculture has been pushing the boundaries of automation is a result of how hard it is to find labour. Especially skilled labour.

You've got a good point.

I believe personally that there are great people working at MS (because I know one or two... so I'll just take a leap and assume in general) --

so it seems like a problem of reining in the beast.

Hell, Gates seems like a generally good person. It's the default nature of a corporation [read: monster] so large to consume as much as it can and become as powerful as it can. Such organizations are structured this way, and bend this way regardless, because of the framework they operate within. I hardly need to say this. MS started making some good ground recently, so maybe with further prodding and pressure, who knows. Everything you suggested sounds like easy wins for them. It's not like it would affect their core consumer base too much.
Tiny Quantum Computer Simulates Complex Molecules
Sure, but I don't think the analogy holds. In a dream, none of the phenomena I experience (colored blobs moving about) correspond to any facts about an external reality. That's one kind of illusion, and a meaningful one. The other would be to infer "therefore I must not experiencing [the phenomenon I'm approximating as 'seeing colored blobs' or anything else]," which is nonsense. Even the thought "I am not having a conscious experience" is a conscious experience -- though even that's often not obvious.

When you're having a dream, it is all an illusion (of the first kind), but to conclude that you are therefore not experiencing anything whatsoever and thus there's nothing to explain would be a grave mistake. You're not blacked out, and no amount of reasoning would make it so.

The same holds here, no matter how much more consistent this reality appears to be.

This argument assumes the older children share the parents' goals.

If the children are assumed to possess free will, it is possible that the older ones' actions could result in an increase in the amount of work for the parent as they got older.

It is also possible to "raise" children one did not have biologically, and to have more than one child at a time biologically. Twelve children born together would be... tough. For a number of reasons.

Kudos OSRS Description

Go to the Fossil Island primary condition is you need more than 100 Kudos OSRS. And the Kudos are the rewards given to players for helping the staff of the Varrock Museum. Furthermore, In the island there are many places will use the Kudos, so than you must collecting so much of Kudos as possible.

How to get the Kudos OSRS?

You can by completing tasks to get Kudos. They are not spent, only accrue to get. When you get the Kudos, the total amount obtained will be displayed in the upper left corner of the screen. Also check the information in the northwest corner at the Museum's the first floor ,the task is completed. Here is four different ways you can get the Kudos.

1. Cleaning finds (50 Kudos)

2. Answering Orlando Smith's natural history quiz (28 Kudos)

3. Relating details of certain completed quests to historian Minas (75 Kudos)

4. Completing fossil exhibits
EDIT: I'll leave my comment below up for the record, but I'm probably wrong, and Canada above is probably right. CBP is not clear about what kind of "searches" they are counting in these stats, and they could well be only counting forensic searches, not cursory (the quick scroll through).

---------

That number sounds reasonable to me. CBP has no reason to hide their activities because they believe they are faithfully enforcing the law.

Electronic searches are not something agents do casually; federal agents do very few things casually on the clock. They're far too busy.

Typically it has to be either a decision in advance (targeting a specific person) or a big set of warning signals at once that create a suspicious profile.

I could be wrong about this; I don't have personal experience. But I've discussed these sorts of cases with friends who are federal agents and prosecutors.
