Many illusions - especially those involving color or apparent motion - are consequences of relatively low-level signal processing. Putting those aside, what you call 'methodological and institutional systems' I think of as 'understanding'. It feels to me that how I make sense of my senses is, after the signal processing, loosely based on something like forming hypotheses about what is going on in the context of how we understand the world, and evaluating their consistency and credibility. I accept the possibility that all of this is nothing more than very sophisticated statistical pattern-matching, but that has yet to be demonstrated.

The original argument (not yours, to be fair) was that EVM/solidity + an optimizer are necessary because contracts are billed for gas. I was attempting to illustrate that you can build a platform around a more representative billing system (you can pick one!) such that existing, world-class languages can be used instead. This pays security dividends and reduces the cost of your system (for everyone, not just you).

Whether or not gas is a useful solution as-is isn't a particularly important question to me, and I don't see any reason why you'd want to replace it now. It's just a poor excuse for Solidity/EVM.

[ Disclosure: As Brit I have no idea how the US treats these issues, I'm only going on how the UK does ]

> Yet we're all hypersensitive about telling women they are overweight or obese.

The UK already tackles these issues by banning a great deal, if not all food adverts on TV channels at times that children will typically watch, it's very easy to say that we should be focusing more effort on some subject but actually in fact we are focusing on the problem of obesity the one of the things we haven't really focused a huge amount of effort on is anorexia which still kills people ( and even more tragically, typically young people )

> Deaths from Anorexia are about 150/year

I actually went through and read the paper that you sourced that quote from and I think the author actually misses a big issue source of possible fatalities, primary it's not focusing on the suicide numbers. Instead it goes to focus on the death certificate counts for anorexia, there's probably doesn't mean that it's going to have a very good representation in the same way that you can't directly blame a lot of deaths on obesity directly because it causes other long-term issues
Another law designed to divert public discussion from actual political issues.
Yes, but they didn’t even attempt to get it merged, nor did they provide the changes on a per-commit level, but only as a single sourcedump with all comments etc removed.

This made integration impossible.
Images of those ultra-thin models are themselves typically photoshopped to remove signs of anorexia and bulimia (arm hair, gray pallor, dental discoloration, pronounced tendons). This is (according to an acquaintance whose day job used to be retouching fashion photos) a frequent enough need that language like "remove visible signs of anorexia" is included in the boilerplate instructions given by agencies to post-production teams.
They already do in the UK - to a degree. Here's a mascara advert which was banned because the model was wearing fake eyelashes.

Who decides authenticity, some government official?

Humans mold their environment and themselves, does tool use somehow destroy authenticity?

Authenticity is a nebulous and largely subjective concept, and trying to guide any public policy towards such a concept is foolish.
We've tried the 'coordination oracle' a few times. It hasn't worked out very well at the larger scales, and I'm not sure trust was the issue.

It appears that it works better when the two systems are blended and neither is used to an extreme. It's really quite a broad spectrum between unfettered capitalism and central management of resources by the State.

Was wondering what the status is with this. I would be interested.
I wonder though if this wasn't regulated wouldn't it eventually become just a filtering / spam problem that the market would solve? There'd be significant damage early on. Then buyers notice and the demand for a private sector solution would emerge.

Like how email is mostly unregulated and yet it works remarkably well.

Sarcasm noted. It is quite a dismal place. Sure, it has great nature and the infrastructure is quite nice. However, the culture is such that most young people you'll meet are trying to escape - still while pumping out lots of overly positive marketing material via news media.
Generally people know they're overweight, and there is no shyness about telling people so. Especially women.

What there is a lack of is compassionate, practical help. It's quite a bit like smoking; few people would argue that they didn't know they were smoking, the issue is whether they care about the negative health effects and how they can actually do something about it that sticks.

What the... You've never been in Catalonia, am I right?

1. It's false that the education in Catalonia is entirely in catalan. I've had tons of classes in spanish.

2. It's false that the use of spanish in public is discouraged. If you go to Barcelona I'd say that you're going to hear 50/50 spanish and catalan in public.

3. It's not clear if the percentage of people who defend an independent country are above or below 50%. It'd be great to verify it with a real referendum allowed by the spanish government ;)

It's OK to express an opinion, but please, don't propagate these kind of lies. They do no good to anybody.
As I said, I strongly believe the nothingness theory. And I certainly consider all Abrahamic religions (as another poster calls them) to be utter baloney. My downvoters may wish to reconsider.

However! As is often bandied about in this forum, we might conceivably be living in a simulation. In which case the Abrahamic stuff wouldn't be all that baloney after all. Or I might be living in one, and being the only character in it. Et cetera blah blah blah.

Or, much more to the point, the universe may indeed be far stranger than we know or can ever know. As certain as I am that my year 2100 will be exactly like my year 1900, I could actually have been wrong about the ultimate setup of the world all along.

Books I've read in the third quarter of 2017
Clients prefer W-2 because of the so called assumed "risk of liability". They don't want 1099s on their payroll because of fear from IRS that they could be tagged as employees and hence needing to pay fines and extra benefits that they don't want to. I personally think that is bullshit but that is what it is. In fact, some large clients force their vendors to only hire W-2 even if the payroll is run by the vendor company and not the client. So that is why a lot of these clients have started preferring W-2 and it is increasing difficult to find direct contracts with large clients who offer 1099 (many still do but rare these days).

Now to your question about the rate between W-2 and 1099. It depends. Generally, a W-2 rate is usually going to be less than 1099 due to factors such as Payroll tax, benefits etc. AT the end of the day, someone has to pay for those regardless but in case of 1099, you the contractor is responsible to figure that out (risk is on you) vs W-2 where the employer has to figure that out for you.

You first need to ask these questions to ANY recruiter you talk to:

1. Are you a direct/preferred vendor to the client ? This is critical because if they middleman to the actual vendor, they will take their own cut thereby reducing the size of the pie for you. They are of not use to you and never deal with 3rd party recruiters. Only deal with direct vendors who talk to clients directly.

2. If they only offer W-2, is it with Benefits or without benefits. Yes, you can get W-2 with some benefits (health insurance etc) even if you are a contractor. This is important to know because if you don't necessarily want benefits, you could potentially negotiate a higher rate even on W-2 by asking them not to pay for benefits .

Once these 2 questions are answered, then you can start playing with numbers to figure out what you should ask for at the very least to even break even. Items to consider:

- Your current salary

- Do you receive any bonus on average every year ?

- Vacation days you take in a year

- monetary value of benefits like Health insurance, 401k etc

- How much Payroll taxes are paid by your employer ? Remember, as an employee, you only pay your portion (about 7.5% SS + Medicare) but as a contractor, you will have to handle that part yourself (if 1099).

You need to figure out all these and then get to a daily/hourly rate.

MOST IMPORTANT: Your daily/hourly rate must consider the number of billable hours/day you will work in a year. You need to factor in downtime. Contracts can end quickly at times. So you need to factor the extra month or so that you may be in transition.

Finally, in Bay area, my general assumption is that $100/Hour on 1099 is low for a skilled and experienced developer.

Shameless plug: I wrote a simple calculator to convert salary to a daily rate in the US. It is a general estimate but should give you an idea:

I used to carry a pocket knife in in NYC. Nothing huge, just a 3 inch folding knife clipped to the inside of my front pocket. On some random day near Times Square a cop asked me about it. I noted that he checked the hinge to see if the blade would fall under its own weight. I didn’t realize how close to a criminal charge I was. In the end he cited me for $50 because the clip of the knife was visible.

The cop was nice and I was polite and respectful but it should also be noted if I was black I think the outcome would be completely different
Not just France, but most European countries.. every time I travel in Europe there's always this initial realization that I'm no longer surrounded by obese people. None of the places I've been to over there encourage the same eating habits that you find prevalent in the US.
Sorry, that’s just not what happened. I think there’s an important lesson in what happened to Mozilla, so I think it is worth clarifying.

Chrome didn’t start from scratch (they used WebKit to start) and they didn’t overtake them overnight. Mozilla couldn’t decide what their focus should be for many years, and in that time Chrome grew thanks to Google’s infinite wallet. They made worthwhile risks that didn’t work out in the end, and during this period their core product stopped improving and they eventually needed an extensive and expensive rewrite.

I think the lesson here is this: if you’re going to invest in experimental products, don’t forget about keeping your core technology up to date.

I feel like Hofstadter was one of those people thinking really deeply about AI.

Anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about should read 'Goedel, Escher, Bach', or 'Fluid Analogies'. I haven't read them in a long while, but I'm sure they're going to be relevant for decades, because they deal with the fundamental challenge of what it means to think. Backpropagation may be part of the puzzle, but the brain (and intelligence) is so much more than that.
I share your views and I am as angry as you are, but I think you are idealizing the Mozilla of the past.

I always felt that Mozilla was just forced in a role it never really wanted.

If you remember Mozilla was a child of the browser wars and my guesss is that if Netscape wasn’t cornered by MS it would still be closed source today.

Even today you can see that business is still in their DNA, the for-profit subsidiary.

However although Mozilla is far from perfect, they are our only hope.

I would argue that attacks like this https://blog.golemproject.net/how-to-find-10m-by-just-readin... are only possible due to the lack of attention paid to safety in the design of EVM. You can compensate for it by putting more smarts into Solidity and other compilers but the basic fact is that the VM doesn't do much to prevent it. Other modern (and even non-modern) VMs take steps to prevent this without reducing expressiveness or speed at all.

At a fundamental level, getting 0s when reading missing or out-of-bounds values is an incredible red flag for security-focused design. Incidentally I can't even find a concrete source that says how calldataload behaves when an index is out of bounds. It's not mentioned anywhere in the documentation I've found (on the ethereum website or elsewhere).
You're discussing criminal behavior. California has policies and institutions in place to deal with criminal behavior. They're not perfect, but that's an entirely different discussion.

>One complicating factor – how do we explain depressed people’s frequent certainty that they’ll fail? A proper Bayesian, barred from having confident beliefs about anything, will be maximally uncertain about whether she’ll fail or succeed – but some depressed people have really strong opinions on this issue. I’m not really sure about this, and admit it’s a point against this theory. I can only appeal to the math class example again – if there was a math class where I just had no confidence about anything I thought or said, I would probably be pretty sure I’d fail there too.

I think the model actually fits here better than the author realizes. Predicting failure is much safer than predicting success, it's erring on the side of caution. If you predict that you will fail at something and prepare for the consequences of that failure, but succeed instead, you are better off than if you had predicted success, prepared for success, and failed. To me, it makes sense that, when uncertain, the default would be to predict failure.

And later:

>One problem with this theory is the time course. Sure, if you’re eternally successful, you should raise your confidence. But eternally successful people are rarely eternally happy. If we’re thinking of happiness-as-felt-emotion,itt seems more like they’re happy for a few hours after they win an award or make their first million or whatever, then go back down to baseline. I’m not sure it makes sense to start lots of new projects in the hour after you win an award.

Wouldn't a rise in confidence have a corresponding rise in expectations? New goals mean a return to the state of "haven't succeeded yet".

Personally I'm finding this model seems to fit better than any other model I've heard of. Of course, I'm just some idiot on the internet, not a psychiatrist.

The question here is about housing demolished in order to build new housing.

Merged units are not in this category. Merged units are when someone buys a duplex (or bigger) and removes all but one of the kitchens in the building and thereby makes one big house out of what used to be a house that was split into 2-4 apartments. That is not an example of housing being demolished in order to build new housing.
