Coca Cola's bottling partner in Colombia was, quite famously, accused of using mercenaries to murder labor organizers in the early 00s. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/07/26/world/union-says-coca-cola...

Similar accusations were made against Coke's Guatemalan bottler a few years back. Of course, about a hundred years ago it wasn't uncommon for companies to use hired muscle to harass, beat, and even murder labor activists in the United States. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludlow_Massacre
Art, sure. I don't see how it is a religion, and only barely a philosophy--it doesn't address any of the questions those attempt to answer.

(Noting that some aspects of philosophy are involved, the same way they're involved in math or science. But not a philosophy like Buddhism or Hegelianism, for examples.)
The comparison to the United States seems meaningless. Of more interest is how Cuba compares to pre-revolutionary Cuba or to capitalist countries with more similar characteristics as far as population and resources. How well do people live in Cuba compared to, say, the Dominican Republic? I'm not sure of the answer but none of the Caribbean islands (even Puerto Rico) really have US mainland-like economic output or standards of living. Trinidad and Tobago is supposed to be a success story but I'm not sure how it compares.

Sounds like she's sadistically tormenting you... awful. do all you can to put distance between you and her.

and do anything at all that helps you feel OK, even if it's just whistling a tune. Just so you don't feel get snared in guilt, or rumination, as if there were an external expectation that you should feel like "it's my responsibility to remember that I have all these reasons that justify my misery".

Don't feel bad about not knowing that your fantasy would become a nightmare. There was no way you would have known.

But make sure to still have fantasies, though of course now for a very different future. Your future was not cursed just because she destroyed your relationship (and fantasies of its future).

Sure, our fantasies may merely be imaginary. But people crucially depend upon their fantasies nonetheless. They are the only way many of us attain a feeling that we have a real connection with the real world, and things feel better when you release old ones that are no longer viable, and find new ones, too.

as for finding new fantasies for meaning, media (like movies, books, TV shows, music, etc.) aren't all that bad for letting you 'uncover' the covers on top of your own desires, when the story resonates with you strongly.

Any idea how well alternatives like zcoin might hold up over time?
First that I am getting a lot of downvotes because I don't support any side and I will get more in this comment.

It is hard to sum up everything. I am going to give you my biased opinion. We were a dictatorship 40 years ago, he died and put a king to govern Spain. The king created the democracy. We always had very different cultures (vasque country, cataluña). They got privileges during the democracy. Cataluña is an important province of Spain with strong economics (some of them because of the past privileges). They just decide as they have different language/culture they don't want to be part of spain and they want do things like they want (like any one that wants to be independent). The government (formed by people who supported or it is linked somehow to the dictatorship in the past) used the problem of Cataluña to get votes, but at the same time they make deals with the Catalans. Catalans always blame central government. The corruption is quite relevant in the country (all the country), the first Catalan politics who wanted the independence are under trials because of corruption, the same for the central government. Now, I think, some catalan politics want the independence to avoid the spanish law. The central government use the catalans to avoid talking about the corruption issues. Both sides are putting people against people. Only few people really want to have an open debate, but noone lets them. Fight is starting. We didn't even have an open debate to discuss the type of independence, like competletely independent or an associate state, but Catalans want a binding vote right now.
Labeling Monero as "amateur crypto" detracts from his credibility a lot. The crypto Monero uses is older and more tested than the new crypto in Zcash and the development in Monero seems very professional. It's not perfect of course but it's far from amateurish.
Is life riding a one trick pony?! (Evolution)

The title is just clickbait. Finding the simplest formula or equation for a process or phenomenon is the goal of a lot of scientists.

Backprop may not be that simplest equation. But actually finding that "one weird trick" to intelligence will in no way be a bad thing when it happens.
It's not that bridges before Newton were bad, it's that Newton gave us the ability to design the strongest possible bridge of a given shape with the materials at hand - using not just calculus but calculus-of-variations, a subject nearly as old as Newtonian mechanics [1]. With this knowledge, what happens when one adds one or two columns to a bridge is now longer "news" the way it might have been before Newtonian mechanics.

A stereotypical picture of an engineering approach without scientific knowledge would be a list of ways to do stuff combined with hints about how to vary the approach per-situation. It requires lots memorizing, trial-and-error and experts that often can't fully explain their reasoning. It's easy to believe bridge-building before Newton was like this though I'm not an expert. Present day AI sounds a lot like from what I've read (though I'm not an expert here either).

Edit: And yes, one could argue that the progress Newton ushered in merely replaced one list of models with a higher, more general list of models - yes, but that is how progress gone so far.

FYI the U2F key support landed in Nightly (probably stable in 58). Enable "security.webauth.u2f" and "security.webauth.webauthn" to enable it.

Of course, now it's up to the developers to allow U2F support via Firefox (instead of hard-coding it to Chrome/Chromium). I've successfully verified that it works on three different services that don't hard-code the support to Chrome/Chromium.
I looked up obsolete in the Oxford English dictionary:

No longer produced or used; out of date.

So, I think, by that definition, his point stands: it truly is the very definition of obsolete, as it is no longer produced.

The Spanish government hasn't pressured Google. A Catalan judge has given them a court order, and they are required by law to comply, like anybody else.

Ugh. Blaming "the media" is so last millennium. If you are posting on social networking websites or blogs, you are part of "the media". I don't expect "SMT solvers" to lead cable network news and you don't either.

You can always find some media outlet which covers your particular niche topic, but you will never be able to push all niche topics all the time in to the mainstream. In fact, it's human nature to avoid returning to places which cause you the pain of cognitive overload.
With profiles, each profile has it's own history, bookmarks, browser settings, and so forth. In effect, it's a separate instance of Firefox.

Sometimes that's what you want, and profiles certainly aren't going anywhere. But the idea behind Containers is just that you can be logged in to separate accounts simultaneously in multiple containers.

In practice, that means a better and more convenient UI. Containers work on a per-tab basis, so you can have multiple tabs logged in to the same account right next to each other, instead of in different Firefox processes. Plus, you can right click on a link and select "Open in New Container Tab".

So while Containers are more than a UI on top of Profiles, it practice one of the main advantages is the convenience of the UI.
As mentioned, Louis Rossmann and others has been out there campaigning for R2R. http://youtube.com/user/rossmanngroup

The bigger problem is it is unlikely to happen in the current political climate because of corrupting money of big corporations buying politicians. Campaign finance reform and kick out the billionaires’ lackeys: crooked politicians and their lobbyist pimps, is a necessary prerequisite to getting public commonwealth issues addressed with sensible policies. Only when DC is cleaner can actual legislation benefiting the people happen instead of subsidizing the very rich even more.

If I'm recalling correctly from NPR this morning, nearly 100% of Catalan people under the age of 40 speak Catalan, while very few over the age of 40 do.

This is the result of the language having been made illegal, then not illegal, then taught predominately by the school systems.

Is it possible the 55% who speak Spanish primarily fall along those demographic lines? Is it also possible that some portion of that 55% speaks both Spanish and Catalan?

Sincere question. I know very little of the situation.

Investments are the opposite of what I'm talking about. Where are the returns? What are the new businesses? If you throw a million dollars into a hole, you can't say the useless hole industry is a million dollar idea. If you build a new railroad line, tell me what cities it connects, not how much people have spent building it. I'm well aware there's interest in bitcoin. But the only industry, besides itself, that it's revolutionized is drugs. And it doesn't offer a way to grow, there's no innovating on bitcoin. There's innovating on crypto, and because of that it's that innovation that has the potential to matter. Fine, it's private. Is that it? That's not enough.

Could be. I check that sort of news less these days - jaded.

But it sort of reinforces my point that companies do layoffs. Sure, some Indian companies have started doing it too, whatever the pros and cons may be.

Founders and CEOs in the US like the ability to hire and fire, and the idea of employment at will. Some employees, less so.

India has historically been a country where paternalistic management practices were common, and firing was seen as something to be avoided as far as possible, considered as a big deal, the news and impact of it to be minimized or played down (I know this last point is so to some extent in the US too), and as a huge social stigma (for the person being fired or laid off). That has been changing some recently, due to Western influences. There can be both pros and cons to the matter. Don't have a final viewpoint on it.

Edited to change "been a company" to "been a country".

Edit: Quoting myself:

>India has historically been a country where paternalistic management practices were common, and firing was seen as something to be avoided as far as possible

This is also the case in government service - as in, in India, for long, and maybe even nowadays, it was almost impossible to fire a government employee, whatever the reason. Job security (along with poverty) was a huge reason why, in earlier years, many, or even the majority of people preferred government jobs - because even though the pay, environment, perks were all mostly shitty - though getting cheap owned or rented housing was seen as a good perk by many - again, a house was seen as a major asset to strive for - you could not be easily fired from your job. In a country with devastating annual floods / droughts (both still the case) / somewhat frequent famines, poverty, etc., those were factors to be considered. I remember even a classmate of mine (this was many years later than the start of the period I am talking about - the start was at Indian Independence or even years before), exulting to a few of us friends that "I 'got' DOTE!" (where DOTE == Department Of Technical Education", meaning that he got a "seat" in a government engineering college, meaning that if he did his stuff even just adequately, a secure lifelong government job was guaranteed - as witnessed by his answer when someone asked him why he went for it - his answer in one word was - "security" (of livelihood, of course, not computer security).
You forgot 'it'll ruin the character of the neighbourhood.'
"engineering before physics" is exactly wrong. No one did Engineering before a sophisticated understanding of Physics was achieved. They built bridges and towers, Engineering enables statements to be made about the performance of machines and buildings; it will survive a wind like x, you can do n cycles, do not load the wings in this way.
Unless you provide some kind of convincing citation, it's FUD as far as I'm concerned.
You don't even know what you're talking about:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basque_conflict

"The Basque conflict, also known as the Spain–ETA conflict, was an armed and political conflict from 1959 to 2011 between Spain and the Basque National Liberation Movement, a group of social and political Basque organizations which sought independence from Spain and France. The movement was built around the separatist organization ETA[4][5] which had launched a campaign of attacks against Spanish administrations since 1959. ETA has been proscribed as a terrorist organization by the Spanish, British,[6] French[7] and American[8] authorities at different moments. The conflict took place mostly on Spanish soil, although to a smaller degree it was also present in France, which was primarily used as a safe haven by ETA members. It was the longest running violent conflict in modern Western Europe.[9] It has been sometimes referred to as "Europe's longest war".[10]"

Democracy is listening the majority of a group, without forgetting and respecting the minorities.

You don't argument why Catalonia is not opressed. Banning all the laws emerging from its parliament is not respecting.

Sorry Spaniards, we will vote. It's not about you, it's about us. It's not about us feeling superior or supremacist. It's about deciding our way, as we think too different in too many things. We can be good neighbours.

> how can anyone be breaking the law by stating their preference

To be clear, nobody in Spain is against the law for stating their preference, in this or any matter.

> as long as there is no physical harm, or enticement to cause harm, than it shouldn't be banned.

One could argue that wasting public funds on this does harm. But at the end of the day, if we want to change the law, we have democratic mechanisms for that.
I think we should be more interested in how the mind works. Much of AI is a simulator of the mind.

> but when ethnic subgroups attempt to seek independence non-violently it's not?

I didn't say anything, just it is against the law and the constitution (the same Catalans signed).

The big issue is that there is no an open debate for this. There is only fight without arguments. It is not clear what type of independence they are fighting for but they want to make a binding vote. And the central government doesn't want even to talk about a possible secession. They use it to gain votes in the rest of Spain (but at the same time they made negotiations with independants to change the law). This is more about corruption. The same way "spread the democracy" is more about getting local resources.

Firefox containers are heading in the direction, after using them for a couple of hours though I ended up missing the window-based system which Chrome uses.

I have one Chrome profile for my personal apps, and one for work -- creating a new tab in one of the windows will automatically open it with the same context as the rest of the window. My experience with Firefox was that I'd have to manually choose which profile to open the tab in.

1. This required me to use my mouse (geh, maybe I could use keybindings to change this though? not quite sure how difficult that would be)
2. I'm not sure if this is just a me thing, but if I create a tab stemming from my 'personal' gmail account there's a pretty strong chance that it should also be a 'personal' tab. Maybe this is just a difference in how me and the Firefox team use tabs though?

Once I figure out how to get around those issues, (and when Streak's gmail extension works on Firefox...) that's when I'd be able to move over.

edit: apparently Firefox has had true instance profiles for ages! awesome. now I'm just waiting on Streak lol.
That's pretty hard to notice, haha.

Most of PKD's stuff has a similar level of weirdness: paranoiac uncertainty in reality. They are fantastic at that.

Very relatable, and I'm sorry you were subjected to such abuse. Becoming heavily invested in a relationship only to have it turn toxic is really nightmarish. It's natural to numb the pain with alcohol or any of the many alternatives, but damaging yourself over the long term is actually a way for the toxic person to keep hurting you at zero cost to themselves.

Get a dog of your own - not to spite your ex though. You'll have to invest a lot of effort in a dog but you'll be rewarded with loyalty and improved sensitivity and intuition. Not a dog person? Neither was I until stumbled across a starving mangy animal that turned out to be the best friend I've ever had. Shelters are full of dogs that have been betrayed and abandoned. Working breeds (on the larger side) are more even-tempered, intelligent, and loyal which is exactly what's missing in your life right now. I'd suggest an adult rather than a puppy if you haven't had one before, as you'll make a lot of mistakes in the first year.

To be fair, Snowden wasn't endorsing Zcash based on his own cryptographic or security expertise, he was responding in agreement to a tweet regarding the cryptographic background of the Zcash developers with a general statement that privacy is important with regard to cryptocurrencies[0].
