"...Alternatively it suggests the device could have been switched off/disconnected from the network to hide your presence - making you really a suspect of interest if your name comes into the investigation for some reason..."

That's really interesting. If I'm understanding you correctly, people who routinely switch off their location services, could potentially end up as suspects in crimes if they, for instance, live in the apartment across the hall from the victim or something.

So keeping location services on let's the police keep tabs on you, potentially making you a suspect in some crime in the future. Alternatively, turning it off potentially turns you into a suspect of interest in some potential crime in the future.
Your DMV example is not quite the same as what is being done. If it was, it would quite probably be reasonable in the circumstances.

The dragnet is every device, not just those matching a partial description of a suspect. For it to compare with your car example, the police would need to have a description of a suspect using an Android Galaxy S4 (or whatever) and then ask only for Galaxy S4 devices in the area.
You've missed one important group: union forces. Tesla Employees have been fired en-mass in what was allegedly a union-busting attempt. Since Tesla employees are unhappy, a lot of them are demonstrating flaws with Tesla's manufacturing process, potentially in an attempt to strongarm their bosses into getting better pay or unionization prospects.

Anyway, there's more than just "bulls vs bears" going on here.

In any case, Elon Musk's 20,000 Model 3 manufactured per month target for late 2017 is incredibly late (See: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/881757617416056832). A lot of Tesla bulls don't seem to care however and continue to throw money at the company.

Tesla isn't even at 2000 cars a month, and we're well into 2018. A lot of people are interested in "why" this is happening. Yes, short-sellers are interested, but I'm sure normal investors are wondering why Musk isn't even hitting 10% of his target months later.

The article suggests that the QA group is finding flaws in the manufacturing process. So... yeah. That makes sense for why the Model 3 is late with very, very low production numbers. There's been a lot of speculation in different groups for the failure, but ultimately, the core is that Tesla is not making enough Model 3.
Apple is the biggest company in the world, by market cap. I would hardly call Apple a member of the 'etc..' list.
Ask HN: Anyone else not read the questions on SO, only the answers when stuck?
I don't know if I could pinpoint exactly when this started for me, but I realized the other day that I never read the questions when I'm trying to debug something and SO pops up as part of my Google results. I just read the title, then scroll down to the answers to see if any of the proposed code will work for me. Maybe 1 in 50 I'll flip back up to the question to see if a specific variable or setup is mentioned and therefore used in the answer.

I have been wondering with the discussion around SO culture and community if maybe this is important. For all the discussion about "good" questions and wanting to archive generally applicable programming advice, would it change the assumptions about the value of either if it turns out that people aren't reading the questions anyway?
I'd say Dennett's claim is that Chinese Room isn't an argument at all. The reason it has a guy in the room is because we're used to people understanding language. It applies just as well to components of the brain, like neurons (as currently understood - i.e. primarily mechanistic). There's no "guy" sitting in your brain who understands English. In fact I think a lot of people miss that Searle's core claim is that there's something fundamental about consciousness in the same way that there's something fundamental about the foundations of physics. Searle is arguing against the idea that neurons, individually or collectively, can be conscious.

actually, no, it fetches info from the native themes to get the colors, fonts, etc.. right, but all the controls are rendered by Qt. It does a pretty good job at it - enough that even microsoft uses it for some windows apps such as OneDrive (https://forum.qt.io/topic/87898/microsoft-onedrive-sync-uses...)

I'm sure both reasons contribute.

I plan all trips to be checked baggage free if possible.

You get charged more, the TSA and baggage handlers will steal and damage things, and it can add a lot of extra time for the airline to get the luggage to the carousel.
Maybe the problem is just with the title: "The best books on Philosophy of Mind". The words "the best" suggests that these are objectively the best 5 books overall.

But in the article, it says "he selects five of [ emphasis mine ] the best books in the field". This basically means that, of the best (which could be hundreds), he has selected 5 that he likes for more particular reasons other than just quality.

Perhaps a better title would be something like "Selected books on Philosophy of Mind". Hopefully we can assume they are high-quality books or they wouldn't bother to recommend them, so it isn't necessary to emphasize that with "best".
Sorry for the autocorrect typo in the title.
Where do you find them? There aren't that many people with experience, in any field, and they are usually not in the right location.

This is excellent advice for anyone starting an online business.

People new to running an online business too often neglect the approach you suggest. And yet, it is much better than trying to get lots of upvotes for a 'launch' on Product Hunt, Hacker News, and Reddit.

The problem is, producing good content doesn't give an immediate thrill. It takes time and persistence to see the payoff.
I'm not the OP, but I think the problems with panpsychism are that 1. it creates more problems than it solves (the combination problem and its sub-problems), 2. it's anti-parsimonious, 3. it follows a poor track record of philosophers assuming the mysterious thing in question is fundamental (i.e. ontologically basic) and being proven wrong. Don't know why people insist on making that same mistake.

People are absolutely trying to about baggage fees now, with the result being overhead bins being packed to the brim and causing delayed when people's stuff won't fit and had to be gate checked.

For a $300-400 ticket, baggage fees can amount to 10-20% of the cost of ticket so many people are in fact motivated to avoid the fees.
I find this a bit strange; generally the best thing about more professional cameras is better controls, not better image quality. I don't like Canons of that era because of the limited dynamic range, but a 6D is a very ergonomic camera and handles better than any consumer Canon or Nikon.

I have an issue with very capable, modern cameras too. I have a Sony A7r, which I find too versatile, to the point of being distracting unless I'm focused on getting a very specific picture. I prefer using high end, but older, film cameras, like a Contax G2 or an Hasselblad.

Re-reading my own comments, I think you are right that my comment wasn't helpful.

It probably would be worth the time for me to figure out how to say this in a more constructive way, because I do see a lot of people, especially my more right-leaning friends who feel deep feelings of persecution from, you know, things people have said on the internet, that would never be said in real life anywhere I or they have been or would go.

Interestingly, that embedded device I made wound up being MVC without explicitly intending so -- the statecharts were the controllers. The only conditional transitions had to do with code reuse, where a single implementation lead to slightly different transitions depending on how it was configured.

I don't mind the confusion, it's just a fact that we can use knowledge of Norwegian to understand Swedish.

Fun fact, same word as yacht, which is borrowed from dutch jacht with the same meaning as Swedish and Norwegian jakt.
Awesome, I love your newsletters!

Thanks for the tip - I'm finalizing the first issue right now so I'll get it on the site asap as an example. Makes sense :)

iirc, you make all of the issues available online after the fact, right?
For me it's a time thing. Assuming the checked bag arrives, you now have to wait at luggage claim to get the bag. This can end up taking a lot of time.

If your bag is lost, now your entire trip has blocks of wasted time trying to retrieve the bag.

The fees are only a small part of why I refuse to check bags.

No, I'm hypothesizing that brains can be understood within the realm of classical physics.
There are so many misconceptions in this post, I have to wonder if this isn't some sort of an elaborate troll.

>If I'm using GIMP to edit something, the source file is never going to be XCF.

What makes you think the source file can only be XCF? You can easily open any image format with GIMP.

>Sorry guys, nobody uses XCF and pros don't use GIMP.

Wrong and wrong. XCF is necessary to save your work in GIMP, so most GIMP users use it.

>A big win for professional users would be CMYK support,

Who the hell needs CMYK support these days? Print is dead (well, it's getting there anyway).

>not the inability to save non-XCF files.

You can easily export your project to any image format that exists.

>Chasing non-existent professional users at the expense of your actual user base is pretty darn lousy UX.

The tool should be optimized for people who spend the most time using the tool. GIMP is for long edits, where saving (actually saving) your intermediate progress is a part of the workflow, whether you're a hobbyist or pro. For quick edits there is Pinta and whatever else.
Also, what about the decision to stop licensing the MacOS to cloners in 1997?

A decision this big has to be made by the CEO. At the time, Apple was dying, and Jobs was the one that made that call. It was quite unpopular at the time. But it was also absolutely the right thing to do!

You might find this hard to believe, but Gil Amelio (Apple's CEO before Jobs) floated the idea of splitting Apple into two disintegrated companies - "Apple Hard" and "Apple Soft." Can you guess how that would have turned out? (You can't build an iPod, an iPhone, an iPad or a Mac that way, because the entire point is to make the product better by integration.)
That is why it is reviewed by a judge. No one is suggesting there is a one size fits all test. If you look at the location of the first example given in the article though it is a suburban area and only asks for records within 150 Meters for two different 1 hours period when the suspect is known to have been in the area based off video footage of the scene.

>But we do know something about the components of brains and they don't seem to exhibit any features that cannot in principle be computed.

Sure, but so what? Neither do rain storms, but as Searle puts it, no-one would expect a computer simulation of a rain storm to actually make anyone wet. If conscious brains can be simulated, that in no way entails that simulations of conscious brains are themselves conscious.

It seems to be a common misreading of Searle that he thinks that brains can’t be simulated on computers. The starting point of the Chinese room argument is to concede for the sake of argument that this is possible.
> Given it is memory only, is it possible to "dump" the graph to local storage then restore it to memory later ?

That's how Redis operates. It happens automatically. You can also back every command that changes the graph to a durable transaction log.
As they should, but I read another Authoritative Proof that many people assured me I should take Very Seriously that used the posting of pro-Russian propaganda as the proof that Twitter bots that interfered with the election were Russian.

I don't doubt at all that there is a government sponsored organization in Russia that promotes Russian interests via cyber operations, as I'm sure there is in the United States. I'm looking for proof that:

a) this isn't a 3rd party posing as Russians

b) The harm or danger of this meddling is proportional to the airtime and Very Serious Tones of Voice we've been subjected to 24x7 for the last year.

Do you know of any compelling (and verifiable by a civilian) evidence that could help me with that?
Anyone that claims it's bad/outdated/unequivocally wrong probably doesn't have the requisite background to make such a claim, let alone any academic training in the field. The Chinese Room is still studied and debated vigorously. For example, Baggini thinks that Searle's Chinese Room is a knock-down argument against functionalism. Dennett, on the other hand, thinks it's bunk.
> You could replace "physical" with "god" in your definition and it would read true to many religions.

The difference is that the concept of physical minimally satisfies the required features to fill the conceptual role implied by science. If you replace physical with god, you are either eliminating the necessary properties of god or you're assuming more than is warranted.

It says we’re a speck among a potentially infinite array of specks.
If you think about the Foundations series, it was basically about this: studying the psychology of masses of people and predicting (and influencing) their behavior.
but the text specifically says 'for interacting with hardware'. it would be instructive if there was a simple hardware interface example on the front page instead of just hello world and fib.
They do have a description based off the security cameras of a suspect using a phone at a location at a very narrow time. Go read the warrant it says within 150 Meters of the spot the crime took place in a narrow one hour period.
They are de facto but de jure they are all almost exactly the same as full citizenship.

It's a difference in degree that makes for a difference in kind. There is no legal status of "slave" or "vassal" in most (any?) common or civil law countries.
I believe it’s true, yet some of the best work of man was done largely alone. Einstein had his miracle year not at a university but by himself at the patent agency in which he worked and at home in his apartment in Bern. He was all but isolated from peers with very little face-to-face time with anyone who understood just a little about advanced physics. In our time, he could have been working from home somewhere in a small town, couldn’t he?

It’s interesting that Tesla is seen is a technology company and tech companies are almost obsessive about applying Japanese auto manufacturing techniques to software development, but Tesla has managed to get this so wrong.

OK so what are good use cases for gRPC? What problem does it solve, and in what contexts should I be reaching for gRPC?
I never read a book about philosophy but found an answer to most philosophical questions just by thinking, discussing and occasionally wikipedia. Took a philosophy course, but it was mostly lot of vague words with questionable substance. The core ideas in philosophy could be summarized on one page with little information loss. This probably seems horribly arrogant, but that's just how I honestly see things.
> Sensanionalist article. So Tesla makes sure to manually fix flaws in the parts of cars that are manufactured before using them. Sounds like every manufacturing line ever.

What should our expectation of Tesla's manufacturing process be when the CEO makes tweets like this: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/881757617416056832 ???

I suspect some corruption going on when I hear something like this. I have no experience with biochemistry, but in my university they showed us a (selfbuild) 3D equipment consisting of one or a couple of computers, 3 (good) beamers and a gauntlet to control the scene. I couldn't believe the price-tag: 300k €. I think the problem is the same for many institutions. They get budget and need to spend it somehow (if they don't then they get less the next year).
Nothing in Searle's argument suggests that consciousness isn't physical. If anything he is less of a dualist than his functionalist critics, since he sees consciousness as being inherently tied to specific kinds of physical system.
Tangent aside, it's quite true - no one checks bags due to the fees and airlines are disinclined to enforce their rules. Last time I flew in the US I got into a near fight with a guy who was allowed to bring 3 large carry-on bags onto a fully packed flight and start to smash his bag against mine to make it fit. He did not respond to my objection well.

Now this is a case of an ass being an ass, true, but he refused to allow the attendant to check his bag because of "fees"; whether or not you pay them at that point is kind of irrelevant as it's the fear of the fees that get people riled up. Personally I'd be fine with the fees, but the airlines also mistake customer service with just not enforcing their own rules. So people who do pay fees or pack more appropriately end up getting screwed and those who try to skirt the fees bother the rest, and the airlines don't seem to care either way.

I don't know what the difference is with US domestic and EU International, but during my time abroad, I've never had this issue, but I've also noticed that the attendants for non-US airlines have no problem enforcing the rules.

So from my experience, it's just a matter of US Domestic flights trying to do as little as possible to be a service provider while charging the same as any other airline normally would. Even Aeroflot is better than US domestics.
Your imagination is not realistic. There's no legal way to require foreign pilots who are citizens of another country to follow US government orders. And it's not possible in the short term to put US pilots on those airplanes because each airline has a unique combination of airframes, engines, and avionics. Plus if the maintenance and logistics infrastructure aren't located in the USA then those airplanes would quickly become inoperable.
Yeah, bizarre criticism. Some of the most intricate games I've played are MUDs over telnet and many of their mechanics have never been matched by modern titles.

Doesn't mean they are less worthy games. The thought almost disgusts me, like only well funded projects can qualify for something as straightforward as a simulation.

Actually, I think it's almost entirely the same problem as fake accounts, from Twitter's perspective at least. It's all a measure of usage and demand by customers, and when people are used and investing/involved/compensated for that fake increase, any major drop rocks the boat.

Despite the fact that these companies are putting headquarters in Ireland, it's actually US taxes that they're seeking to minimize, so it's not really the EU's place to collect them here. With the new UA corporate tax law changes for international income I expect fewer US companies to build HQ in Ireland. Though being domiciled in Ireland also makes the Ireland Data protection Authority their primary point of contact too.
