You're making assumptions that Manzotti didn't make in his analysis, and that aren't warranted, given the nature of this discussion.

a) physicality is not presumed. i.e., Manzotti doesn't seem to assume that consciousness is even "visible to scientific instrumentation."

b) you're conflating logical "thought" with "consciousness". (> Consciousness is correlated strongly and solely with the brain. Meaning, if you cut off my hand I can still think and feel and reason. If you remove a fist-sized volume of tissue from my pre-frontal cortex I'll never have another thought again.) That's a gigantic assumption that is absolutely unwarranted.

not that HN needs more pedantry, but HN’s lightweight markup format is not in any sense a Markdown. I believe that literally the only thing they have in common is that a single set of asterisks yields italics. Bolding, headings, code, lists, quotes, links, etc. don’t transfer from one to the other.

Well then it's a good thing c used its ASCII equivalent that's accessible on anglophone keyboards for bit shifting and so if any programming language tried to use <<strings>> you'd have c grognards screaming about lshift and rshift.

Unless you're saving it in forms of wads of cash under the bed, you should be getting some interest from it, even if it's just parked in a bank account. And even larger interest if you actively look around for opportunities to invest. And such investment is beneficial to other economic actors, who are on the receiving end of it.
Ruby lets you use arbitrary tokens for string literals with %s{} (where the braces can be a bunch of things). I wish more languages would adopt this tbh.

If you need to access files in VolFS, you can use bash.exe to copy them somewhere under /mnt/c, use Windows to do whatever on it, then use bash.exe to copy them back when you are done.

IMHO this is the worst-designed(?) part of the whole WSL. Copying files back and forth is the antithesis of a "seamless Windows and Linux experience", to put it mildly. From that perspective it's no better than running an isolated VM. To add insult to injury, although I haven't personally tried it, apparently trying to access the files directly from Windows as if they were both on the same filesystem (which they are) results in all sorts of ridiculous breakage: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12980380

I have mounted CIFS/SMB shares from Windows machines onto Linuxes and Macs, and gone in the opposite direction with Samba; in both of these cases, there is no need for wasteful copying and managing two files; Windows and Linux can essentially use the same files simultaneously.

Going in the other direction, WINE also allows Windows apps to work directly with the same files as Linux ones.

One then wonders, when a networked filesystem with all its complexity can be used nearly effortlessly across different OSes running on completely different machines, and WINE is like the inverse of WSL, why couldn't Microsoft do the same with two subsystems on the same machine using the same filesystem!?
I actually had similar thoughts reading the article as the OP. Not sure why it was flagged.

This case seems totally different from consensual relationships per se (e.g., bonuses to employees for losing weight is clearly inappropriate, among many other things reported on in the article), but there was something about the coverage in this article that seemed off the mark to me. There were enough problems to report on that I didn't like the implication that it was all equally problematic. Equating serious problems with more minor ones obscures discussion of what matters.

The way I see it you have three-ish scenarios.

Consciousness first, e.g. what you call matter is just a thing made up by your consciousness. No need to discuss this one since it's not really a useful axiom when we want to explain the phenomena from the point of view of a physical world.

Consciousness as a result of matter and ...

The laws of physics are deterministic / rational / bounded / mathematics e.g. we are computers and consciousness is a computation. As a result basically everything that moves is conscious (although not necessarily the same "level" of conscious) since that movement is a computation all that is needed is to define a language for that movement that makes it a isomorphic projection to/from a identity for some "consciousness complexity class".

The laws of physics are mystical, something may be special about us, free will, yada yada ... Then anything could make sense, lets go take ayahuasca!
So it sounds like the web audio API is every good at modeling audio as the web GUI API is at modeling GUIs.
You're somewhat missing the point. Yes, everyone knows it was a joke. It was a joke that could have gotten someone assaulted. People aren't just following the letter of the law, here. This is a thing that happens for good reason.

A normal person who pulled this sort of prank might not get noticed and have this happen to them, but they shouldn't be surprised- threats to public figures, especially women, especially politicians, are serious business. A normal person is likely to get away with that sort of crap because no one who cares would notice, so they get a bit of leeway that people with thousands of social media followers don't. Such is the way of things.

Someone of Shkreli's wealth would also, ordinarily, not go to jail for it, because the wealthy can hire powerful lawyers and generally work the system. It sounds entirely plausible, from the article, that personal dislike had a prominent role in the judge's decision. But then, I can't feel sad Shrekli's status as a nationally-reknowned sociopath balances out his wealth in this case. Such is also the way of things.
It's definitely much closer to real Linux than msys2. Don't forget that the entire userland in WSL is the real thing, not an emulation.
I have a corp-maintained Linux laptop; Chrome does not get along with the graphics drivers and will freak out and start flashing white every hour or so.

And this is with standardized corp-bought hardware.

They reduced my student loan payment and cut the term in half at the same time. I was able to complete the application and have a decision in less than two days, and the funds were transferred two days later.

They're also much easier to get substantial unsecured term debt through at a lower price than, say, Prosper or Lending Club.
Well, technically photons are massless and don't have "volume" in the common sense of that word. Red photons do have a particular energy, but I don't think any photons in the real world have exactly the amount of energy that a theoretical "red photon" is defined to have.

Which exchanges are the best?
---
Depending on where you are located, best exchanges probably means an exchange that has high liquidity and smoothly facilitates withdrawal and deposit. In this case consider Gdax, Bitfinex, Coincheck, etc.

How should I secure my coins once I've bought them?
---
Really securing coins is hard and requires up most attention. The easiest way to get started is to purchase a hardware wallet. I recommend Trezor but you may also use a Ledger. These wallets supports a few other coins aside from Bitcoin such as Litecoin, Dash, Ethereum.
As for Ethereum, the Trezor wallet works well with Myetherwallet, a web wallet for Ethereum which you can secure your own private keys. This private key can reside in your hardware wallet in which you use to sign transactions. This very same wallet is also used to store all ERC20 tokens.
So how do you know whether you're always improving if you don't measure your performance at consistent points along the way? Just ask everyone if it felt like you improved, followed by a group hug and mutual back-patting?

Why would you use WSL instead of straight VM for example (assuming you are somehow banned from running Linux proper directly on your hardware)? And I'm a bit confused about the benefit of launching PowerPoint from WSL, when you have the Windows host itself sitting there.

I find no matter what you do you will _sometimes_ need escaping. There will, eventually, come a time when you want to embed an ASCII 30 (0x usually means hex, it's actually decimal code 30, but hex 0x1E) RS Record Separator in some record delimited by 30 RS. So you'll need some method of escaping anyway. Or it'll be annoying.

I have spent some time working with MARC 21 binary encoding (used for library cataloging records) which uses ASCII 0x1D, 0x1E, and 0X1F as delimiters. I would def not call it appreciably more _convenient_ than a more modern 'text' record format. If it has benefits, convenience isn't really one of them.

It's very possible that a lot of his current rhetoric and actions are part of PR and image control for Facebook as a brand and even a genuine desire to extend his horizons.

However, some of his actions are distinctly political.

http://people.com/politics/facebook-mark-zuckerberg-team-202...

He hired "Joel Benenson, a former top adviser and longtime pollster to President Barack Obama and the chief strategist of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign", and prior to that he hired "David Plouffe, campaign manager for Obama’s 2008 presidential run".

Your statement is exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not sure Zuckerberg is actually "insanely smart". He's similar intelligence to a lot of people on HN, but people conflate power and success with visionary ability. Maybe he is that, or maybe he's just a relatively smart guy with lots of connections, a very favorable background, and the same hangups, limitations, biases, and delusions as everyone else.
You make some excellent points, so much so that I changed my opinion after reading your comments. That happens very rarely.

Wow. At the time I'm writing, there are 11 other responses, and they're all unconvinced/opposed/offended regarding the parent comment. I'm embarrassed by the deliberate ignorance on display.

Race was and is a key factor in American politics, and in politics everywhere. (I don't know anything about politics in, say, Cambodia, but I can tell you race is a key factor.) The civil rights movement, 20 years before crack was a political issue, faced such powerful opposition that it reversed the polarity of US political parties (causing the former Confederate states to flip to R from D).

In this light, sibling responses to the tune of "why do you have to make it about race" or "seems like it was more about X" read as worse than ignorant. You'd have to be willful to be this ignorant about politics.

My 2c: Parent comment is so obvious it is inane. But apparently I'm in the wrong here.

Yes. The author didn't note his testing methodology. JMH (Java Microbenchmark Harness) is the gold standard for executing Java benchmarking tests:

>the candidates you mentioned only did well in limited/specific geographies

That is because the other candidates all took their own piece of the pie. The republican and democratic primaries were very similar. You had someone framed as a populist outsider who was selling themselves on their ability to fix the system. On the democratic side you had one other establishment candidate who more or less campaigned on the status quo. On the republican side you had numerous establishment candidates that basically campaigned on the status quo who split the vote and several outsider candidates that never had much support at all. The democratic side was consolidated much earlier around their candidate. The republican side never consolidated around an establishment candidate because it was never clear which establishment candidate was the favorite. This allowed Trump to succeed with his consistent 20-30% of republicans in early primaries.
Oh, you just replied to the wrong comment.

> necessary to represent an arbitrary natural number

What makes you think this number exists? Infinities can not be added and divided this way.

> The average can't be larger than the largest number.

But it can be equal to it. You mistake is not realizing that infinity minus 1 = infinity.

So the average is "smaller" than the largest, and yet equal to it. Because like I said at the start, you can not just add infinities in the normal way you can manipulate finite numbers.

Yes. If I had to figure it out by myself, not having read in an authoritative source that this is the way it's meant to work, I would assume I'm doing something wrong.
Follow up: well, this was an unpopular comment!

I am not saying we should simplify house buying to the same process as buying a cup of coffee.

I am saying that there is probably some price for which you're willing to forego negotiation and just sell it. This is like the ebay "Buy it Now" price. I think when most people list their house, they have this number in the back of the mind.

So let's start by putting that price out there. And maybe some basic conditions about how you'd like to be paid. If the perfect buyer comes along, you're done! This is currently not possible with our system. If the house is listed at $100k and I am willing to pay $150k I still start by offering asking to feel out the seller. If they had listed a "Buy it Now" price we could be done instantly.

Now let's say nobody wants to pay your buy it now price, they are free to make a lower offer. In the worst case, we get back to where we are now.

For all of the argument saying how hard it is to price a home and how nobody can get this number right because every home is unique, I don't think this is any harder than picking a list price in the current system. Most realtors pick the list price hoping to get x% more, depending on their market. Just include that x% in your "Buy it Now" price and be done with it.

In the past, I've used Introspector API [1] for property reflection. It's part of the JDK, and provides a lot of the caching this article is talking about. Doubt this would provide the same level of improvement as adding the direct children() method, or even ASM based approaches, but it's certainly faster than naked reflection.

That's a generally valid concern, but I don't think I can see that ever really happening. It's really just a compatibility space, no?

There is a bit of a contrarian culture here, lately. Some skepticism is healthy, but too much is toxic.

As a general optimist and hopeful, I like to try and find good where I can without being suckered by hocus or sly marketing.

Moving forward and growing outward should be a good thing, shouldn't it?
Thanks a lot, this will save us quite some time.
I really, really wish Microsoft would open up the Pico Process APIs to third-party driver developers. Right now, WSL is the only driver allowed to install Pico Process callbacks. It would be cool to implement a Darwin layer or a Classic Xbox emulator with that tech.
Less? Even ignoring the glut of imports, it's significantly longer than the straightforward and more extensible attempt where you just chain a few `if`s. (The article did strawman that attempt, but it was transparent enough about it.)

A couple of those companies don't specialize in student loan refinancing.

You seem adamantly opposed to SoFi though. Despite the unfounded accusations in your rant, why are you?

I don't feel like Sublime Text has the development momentum to justify the subscription model.

That isn't necessarily bad; it's a great editor and I've been happy to pay for all versions of it.

But if I am paying an ongoing, continual fee, I expect rapid delivery of updates and new features. I pay for an IDE from JetBrains, and they deliver solid incremental improvements and bug fixes, continuously. So I feel the continual fee is acceptable.

Sublime Text is known for going on hiatus for months at a stretch, with no or negligible updates. That would irritate me as a paying subscriber to the software; it doesn't bug me when I pay a lump sum for the big milestone releases.
The precise course and direction of European anti-semitic currents in the 20th century is a fascinating one, but not really within the scope of any HN comment - as the link I shared above demonstrates, whole books have been written arguing different aspects of that topic.

I don't get the point of your optimistic hypothetical, which seems to vague to admit of a specific answer. I'm more concerned with the present reality of ICE seeking to accelerate its ability to destroy records of death sin custody etc., since oversight and accountability in the immigration detention system is already notoriously poor.

ST is not a modal text editor. I know there is a vim emulation plugin for ST that's reasonably good, but at face value someone who has mastered vim can edit text faster than vanilla ST because of vim's modal and compositional nature.
That's actually a pretty good barrier to entry. With emacs/spacemacs, if installing it is too frustrating for you, then configuring and using it is going to be way too frustrating for you.
Okay. In that case I question what motivated your initial comment correcting your parent?

Correcting a commonly abused saying, and thereby slightly reducing the volume of bullshit if only imperceptibly. I have to wonder why you seem so interested in commenting mostly on the comments of others.
I'm afraid your scenario isn't possible or you've been taken advantage of for your lack of financial fluency.

There is no way your loan payments were reduced and the remaining term cut in half at the same time, unless your original interest rate was above 20-25%.
