The percent of English speaking people is probably like 4x in China or Russia vs. France or Spain. And you don't need "speaking fluency", just "advanced reading comprehension skills" to get most advantages...

I could read advanced academic papers written in English (not just technical, also philosophy and economics) well before my speaking fluency was good enough to make "live conversation" well.

Of course, there is a horrible side to it: coming from Eastern Europe and living in Western Europe, I need to "dumb down" my English a lot, and to force myself to talk slower in English when speaking with French/Italian/Spanish (French are the worse btw - never met people harder to communicate efficiently with than them... even when their language skills are ok they sprinkle that "context dependency" and "nonobviousness" into everything) people that speak "English" but are actually only fluent in a lifeless subset of "standard international business English"...
Current ANNs aren't anywhere near squirrel brains, so of course robots using them won't perform as well as squirrels.

Take a single brain region specializing on one task, throw away all the integration and feedbacks from other regions, simplify it even further because we only need it to do one task, then run the whole thing on an emulation layer running on 2D hardware. And that's still neglecting the dissimilarities between artificial neurons and their natural role models.
>Schrodinger's cat is not both alive and dead. We know nothing about its current state, only how probable certain outcomes are

That's the case with any cat we throw in a box and ask somebody to kill it or not based on a dice, and then we visit the place where the box is and open it...

In other words, the cat is in a certain state, but we merely don't know which.

But this doesn't capture what the Schrodinger experiment is supposed to show. Such an case wouldn't need the experimental apparatus Schrodinger describes either.

The core idea of the experiment is that quantum uncertainty is not just of the "we just don't know yet" kind, but of the fundamental "reality is inherently mixed-up and uncertain / many things actually hold at the same time until observed" nature.

The purpose of the Schrodinger's thought experiment then is to show how this fundamental quantum uncertainty (i.e. not mere not knowing: actual "fuzzy" reality) "pollutes" the macro world (in this case, a cat).

The quantum-based mechanism that releases the poison, is his trick to transfer the uncertainty of the quantum state into the macro world (the box with the cat). (Funnily, Schrodinger's purpose was to discredit this).

Those that believe it's clear that "the cat is in one state or another, we just don't know which", haven't understood the problem.

So who's going to do that real research? I appreciate this psychonaut because he's at least trying, and seems fairly serious about his interest.

If you'd turn the perspective around, and instead of letting "actual researchers" perform the research, how'd you approach training interested psychonauts to perform useful research? Even if it's in a more informal manner?
I don't know the detail, but the way you put it, "prove that the fault did not happen to due mistreatment" basically means that user has to prove the he didn't do something. I can prove that I did something, but prove I didn't do, that's a whole lot different.

Which is not that different that "reality as information", which is quite probable.

Besides, the actual objective reality/universe could just be a set of hazy possibilities in constant flux.

And it's only what WE call "reality" (and consider it as "objective") that appears fixed -- because of how our perception/brain perceives it.
The rural America you speak of doesn't exist. Rural America is mostly small towns that look just like a suburb when it comes to population density. And it doesn't sit there doing nothing, it provides services to the people that work in resource extraction (along with manufacturing sited to take advantage of local materials) and agriculture.

There are certainly lots of dying small towns, but that is hardly evidence of profligate subsidization.
"The principle was to restrict the scope of revenge."

I think rather the principle is one of justice. Lamech is an example of revenge (not justice). Revenge is never given to men by God ("It is mine to avenge; I will repay").

"But the NT turns completely against that idea."

No, not at all, or when last did you read the Bible carefully?

Jesus taught plainly that to turn against the words of Moses at all even in the slightest is to turn against Jesus himself.

Jesus taught plainly that if you won't accept the words of Moses, you won't accept Jesus' own resurrection from the dead.

"the concept of mercy and forgiveness is just not emphasized as much in the OT as it is in the NT."

That is a gross misrepresentation of the OT. You've fallen for Marcion's error and worse.

With the merciful you show yourself merciful;
with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
with the purified you show yourself pure;
and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
For you save a humble people,
but the haughty eyes you bring down.

The problem with research into this sort of thing is that "increases in overal entropy of neural firing patterns and correlation between visuospatial and prefrontal firing." reduces the experience to the point of banality.

What we really need is more philosophers who are well versed in science to have these experiences, and to try and reinterpret the world from this alternate perspective.

When something goes wrong in the plant, spacial memory and muscle memory are outstanding for letting a panicked person get the most important things done. Also the person that is acting as the leader gets nice information based on where people are moving their arms, sound with built in clicks/bells, and similar.

Personally I think a computer screen lowers intelligence temporarily as well. Or at least activates the UI grazing habit of looking for a control that is close to what you want and playing with it without thinking about it. Especially if you're not careful.

Though lots of really big screens, and UI/control screens that have limited options works nicely.

I agree with the GP -- I never noticed this in Firefox and years back I was surprised to learn after the fact that Chrome had come to dominate in market share. Was Firefox less performant on Windows or something? I never really got what people were complaining about as a user of Firefox on Linux...

However, the new beta is purely awesome. I don't think I've ever been so excited about a new software version release! What a fantastic validation of Rust too in the process.
I want to rely on a cryptosystem which means that at a protocol level, the designers can't build in backdoors for police even if they want to. Then I don't have to worry about their public statements. Maybe they're firmly ideologically opposed today and get a court order tomorrow. (This is exactly what happened with well-intentioned scam artist Ladar Levison: he built a system that didn't have the cryptographic properties he promised, and the government called his bluff. He didn't particularly desire to help the government, but he had no choice.)

The question is, do we believe that there's room in the Zcash protocol for a cryptographic back door?

I should also mention that in addition to being the first to market with 100GbE NICS, Mellanox has been just phenomenal to work with.

They've been a huge help to FreeBSD networking.

That's because we live in a world where there is no country that's good at media freedom.

>subsidizing rural America to the tune of trillions of dollars

I'm not sure where you're getting that number from. Here's a federal budget breakdown for FY2016 [1]:

Non-discretionary spending:
Social Security: $910 billion
Medicare: $588 billion
Medicaid: $368 billion
Other: $563 billion
Interest payments: $241 billion

Discretionary spending:
Defense: $584 billion
Non-defense: $600 billion

Spending on Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, interest payments, and defense would not decrease if rural citizens moved to the city. Thus those subsidies aren't solely for rural America, so I won't include them in your "trillions of dollars" claim unless you want to make the claim that the government is subsidizing both rural and non-rural citizens to the tune of trillions of dollars, which nobody would doubt.

The rest of the budget adds up to $1,163 billion dollars. Even if you made the wild assumption that all that money went straight into the pockets of rural Americans, it's hardly trillions of dollars.

(Note that I'm ignoring state budgets. But I think the trillions of dollars assertion is so absurd that I'm not going to waste the time to look up those stats as well.)

seems like we're basically in agreement. STEM majors working on ads are stuck at a local maxima.

On the other hand, humans are bad at predicting the future, so attempting to allocate resources perfectly is probably a waste of resources. see GPUs for video games, now used for deep learning - things that look trivial now might be important later on. If clicking ads gets us closer to AGI, maybe it's not so bad in the end.
Julian Assange: The World's First Internet War
I'm wondering what role brain-drain plays in this catastrophe. Who wants to live at the border of chaos? Smart and open-minded people emigrate to Central/Northern Europe, US/Canada or Australia to live a much safer and fulfilling life. What remains is the conservative personality type (high dutifulness, low openness to experience, tight integration in communities), who is much more likely to reject democratic ideals and to accept theocratic dictatorships.

One might conclude that the only way to reliably stabilize such regions is to massively incentivize them for the personality types that have emigrated over the course of the past decades or centuries, even.
I would still be very surprised if any developer in Stockholm is paid $25k a year as OP says. That's less than 17k SEK a month. I also don't think your numbers are valid anymore. The demand on developers is completely crazy in Stockholm right now. Even with minimum prior experience you shouldn't settle for anything less than 25k a month.
Interestingly, the SEC charged two ICOs with violations of securities laws this very day! This is a first as far as I know, and makes clear that the SEC is able and willing to regulate ICOs as securities if they meet certain criteria:

There's a ton of French influence in software: Symfony, OCaml, lots of Java stuff...

But I treat "made in France" like a warning label for anything software, hard to explain exactly why :)

I guess it might be because they have very few self-thought people (probably because university is decent and free) that have that "intuition for how to simplify stuff and make it obvious and grok-able" (academic education tends to kill this "intuition" in people). Also, there's a kind of cultural "hate" for KISS and "complexity reduction" in general - they tend to view complexity as an asset somehow, quite a messed-up mindset imho...
> Oh man, is there like, a big group of people for whom this distinction matters?

Um, given there's been multiple court cases about that, yes apparently there is a big group of people for whom that distinction matters...
There are some similar issues in Sweden as well. If you are unemployed you can't study at the university without loosing your unemployment benefit, so you stick with the benefit instead of learning to get a better job. This is really counter productive in many cases. This is not specific to entrepreneurs, but nevertheless quite strange. I can see that it could be abused, but I can also see that one could come up with a solution for it.

Perhaps the painting you referenced was meant to evoke disgust, or feelings of guilty pleasure. Imho, both are not really appropriate on a project page especially if used excessively and without reason.

At least the child in your painting looks naturally shy, given the situation. This in contrast to the cartoons, where the child seems to be taking the lead in seduction. Why ascribe feelings to children which they don't have?

They should operate differently because there is a difference between 'disconnect' and 'off'. This is not a binary state. The fact that you and a lot of other people on HN cannot seem to comprehend this or understand why most people actually need 'disconnect' more than they need 'off' is why you have a problem that no one else really cares about.

Token sales are on track to raise over $2 billion worth of cryptocurrency this year, which is more than early-stage VC funding, and most of that for distributed application (mostly blockchain based) development.

Given crowd funding through token sales is the first major use-case for cryptocurrency, and is funding numerous cryptocurrency projects, I can't see how one could argue that it is not important to the cryptocurrency sector. Also, almost all token sales are on Ethereum.

Turkey in total is in decline.

I wish the Turkish good luck with their deliberate choice to give their sucker at the top everything he wants. They knew what they vote for and they absolutely deserve the results.

>>DRM will exist with or without EME

Exactly so there was not need to include it in the Standard

>and web-based distribution of major popular media will use that DRM in whatever form it takes.

Lost of popular media does not use DRM at all

>and I've argued at length that killing DRM cannot be done via "principled stands"

No it can only be done by principled stands

>it has to be done via market forces, as it was with online distribution of music.

That was killed by a principled stand not by market forces, the record labels wanted DRM, consumer did not give a shit, a few companies made a principled stand to say no...

That said, even if you want to claim it should be market forces that dictate DRM, then let the market decide by not ham fisting it into a Standard for HTML5.

That distorts the market and is the exact reason MS, Google and Netflix wanted to ensure it was in the Standard so they would not have to explain to the market why the DRM was there, why X device did not work with their products or have to compete in the market place on DRM or no DRM. DRM is "standard" now so there is no market competition for it.

I love all the DRM supporters (which you clearly are despite your claims to not be) that say "DRM was inevitable and putting in the standard would not change anything" Well then why put it in the standard? If it does not change anything, if it does not change the market, if having it in the standard is pointless why did MS/Google/Netflix/MPAA fight so hard to get it in?

because it does in fact matter. It does in fact change the market, and the conversation. Something being a "Standard" normalizes it in the market, allowing it to deployed faster, easier and with less consumer backlash. That was the entire point of the EME Spec, to normalize DRM to the consumer to make it less controversial, and more palatable
