It's not a complete description; we haven't included the weak nuclear force, or couplings to hypothetical particles like the Higgs boson.

The article literally states that Dirac's equation is incomplete at modeling the full situation.

But that's okay, since those are only important at high energies and/or short distances, very far from the regime of relevance to the human brain.

And the article makes the mistake of assuming that life force is the physical driving energy, instead of electromagnetic energy itself being directed by a life force.

There are lots of randomness in quantum physics. The life force would cause that to be more deterministic. Einstein himself was a proponent of the hidden-variable theory, famously stating that "God does not play dice".

Who are we to argue against Einstein?
>time becomes enormously more valuable than money

In some sense this is true, but keep in mind you're not actually creating more time -- time spent on business jets can be quite productive, in-person encounters are not always necessary, and it is often possible to use scheduling to get two powerful people in a room together when they happen to be near each other anyway.

Also not sure if the video goes into this, but rocket launches are LOUD, and so tend to be away from densely populated areas -- plan on another 20-30 minutes on each side to get to/from the pad.

(Maybe tunnels will help with this? Load yourself into a tunnel pod, which then gets robotically loaded on the rocket, so door-to-door transport? Man, the future's gonna be sweet!)
I never understand the idea that Spinoza was an atheist. Sure his ideas of God were not Judeo-Christian but he did believe in the super-natural that we see in action through nature. Spinoza was 100% a theist and wrote about God and advocated for the evidence of a God. I almost laugh when agnostics try to use him as their champion. They are ramming their own beliefs into this Philosopher that it is not respectful to Spignoza's writing. My example is since he saved Ethics to be released on his death why wasn't he clear on the rejection of God or place more on Deist statements?

Prop. 28

"The mind's highest good is the knowledge of God, and the mind's highest virtue is to know God. ...The mind is not capable of understanding anything higher than God, that is, than a Being absolutely infinite, and without which nothing can either be or be conceived; therefore, the mind's highest utility or good is the knowledge of God. Again, the mind is active, only in so far as it understands, and only to the same extent can it be said absolutely to act virtuously. The mind's absolute virtue is therefore to understand."

Can't Henry Kissinger just die already?

He won the Nobel Peace Prize for ending the Vietnam War. Only in the 90's we learned that he and Nixon torpedoed the '68 Vietnam peace talks under Johnson to make Johnson look bad before the election.

<https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/notes-indicate-nix...

This is public information. We know that part of what Nixon was looking for during the Watergate break ins was evidence that Johnson kept about this. Yet publications like The Atlantic still allow this criminal Kissinger to publish.

From:
<https://www.commondreams.org/views/2014/08/12/george-will-co...

In the Price of Power (1983), Seymour Hersh revealed Henry Kissinger—then Johnson’s adviser on Vietnam peace talks secretly alerted Nixon’s staff that a truce was imminent.

According to Hersh, Nixon “was able to get a series of messages to the Thieu government [of South Vietnam] making it clear that a Nixon presidency would have different views on peace negotiations.”

Johnson was livid. He even called the Republican Senate Minority Leader, Everett Dirksen, to complain that “they oughtn’t be doing this. This is treason.”

“I know,” was Dirksen’s feeble reply.

Johnson blasted Nixon about this on November 3rd, just prior to the election. As Robert Parry of Consortiumnews.com has written: “when Johnson confronted Nixon with evidence of the peace-talk sabotage, Nixon insisted on his innocence but acknowledged that he knew what was at stake.”

Said Nixon: “My, I would never do anything to encourage….Saigon not to come to the table….Good God, we’ve got to get them to Paris or you can’t have peace.”

But South Vietnamese President General Theiu—a notorious drug and gun runner—did boycott Johnson’s Paris peace talks. With the war still raging, Nixon claimed a narrow victory over Humphrey. He then made Kissinger his own national security adviser.

In the four years between the sabotage and what Kissinger termed “peace at hand” just prior to the 1972 election, more than 20,000 US troops died in Vietnam. More than 100,000 were wounded. More than a million Vietnamese were killed.
“The growth-at-all-costs strategy is being funded these days by the venture community, not the public market.

Say you click a link that sends you to facebook content (whether that be a video, or a group or other public content), does that then change you over to your logged in Facebook container tab? Isn't this kind of counter intuitive?

I've been using the Containers plugin and its predecessors for years to isolate facebook, but I've always liked it because when someone links to facebook content I can then read it logged out in my normal tab. Obviously on top of this I am using ublock/umatrix anyway.
Digression: I'm suspicious of philosophy because it throws around absolutes with nothing to back them. Like 'The mind is not capable of understanding blah blah'. Really? What is this supposition based upon? Its like saying there's a highest number we can understand - but what if we add 1 to that?
On the general level, Objectivism and Rationalism differ because the former is a philosophical system encompassing metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and politics. Rationalism is a particular epistemological viewpoint, and not a system.
So how does the Objectivist Epistemology differ from Rationalism?
Rationalism in its strongest form is the position that reason is the only means by which to acquire knowledge. It is usually contrasted with empiricism, the view that our senses are the primary means of knowledge.

Exchanging Bash for Python is a folly.

Python seems to handle complexity better, but only on the surface. (Basically Python has nice data structures, great string formatting, and .. that's it.)

Setting up the Python environment requires something, because Python comes in many flavors (2 vs 3, system installed, user installed, /usr/local) and there are a bunch of factors (pip, pyenv, pipenv, PYTHONPATH, current directory with modules, requirement for python-dev headers, and GCC to compile native parts of packages, and then of course maybe extra shared libraries too) that can affect the "script".

Yet Python provides no way to sanity check itself. Mypy is wonderful, but doesn't really help with scripts, where the enemy is raised exceptions, not simple type errors.

And Python lacks efficient, quick and dirty process control. Sure, there are nice packages for handling subprocesses, but that's really a lot more batteries-included in Bash.

Do I like Bash? No, but debugging a bash script is -x, even the most vile many thousand lines of Bash will eventually stop somewhere with a clean-ish error or finish running.

I have no great recommendation for alternative (maybe Ammonite, maybe scripting in Rust), but I'm interested in what people think about this.

And ironically enough, both security issues are triggered by HTML, without HTML world would be a much better place.

Everyone things they're the next Steve Jobs - well-known for his binary view of the world (where something could only be the "greatest thing ever" or "(profanity)"). He had finely tuned design sensibilities, but his complete disregard for others is what made him a world-class jerk bordering on outright psychopathy.

This sort of personae is not something to aspire to, and the world really doesn't need more of this personae, but in a culture of mimicry, that's what is honored as people try to differentiate themselves from the bland masses. Cultural erosion.

> some people generally have low stomach acid

Not to the extent that you (and many others) believe. The stomach is always very acidic (pH 1–3), and this acidity is tightly regulated. Contrary to what you’ve said, the pH is raised (and hence acidity lowered) when consuming food (because HCl is used up in the digestive process). That said, much of the digestion of RNAs happens through enzymes, not acid, so the point is moot. It’s known that the human GI tract is highly efficient in digesting oligonucleotides. Very little (and of that, only small fragments) has a chance of being taken up.

The actual problem here is not that Cambridge Analytica got the data. But that they created a site where this data was made readily available:

> Academics at the University of Cambridge distributed the data from the personality quiz app myPersonality to hundreds of researchers via a website with insufficient security provisions, which led to it being left vulnerable to access for four years. Gaining access illicitly was relatively easy.
Isn't securing messages in flight the point of PGP?

if they had that access, all your plain text email is compromised as well.

Isn't that why we're using PGP in the first place? If plain text email can be assumed to not be compromised, why encrypt at all?
If I purchase a car from Ford, then yes, they have no right to tell me how to drive it.

If I lease a car from Ford, then they absolutely have a right to tell me how I can drive it. It's not my car - it's their car. Most car leases do stipulate how you can drive it. At the very least they have a restriction on the number of miles you can drive.

If someone has purchased a copy of MacOS from Apple, then I agree that they can do whatever they want with it. The thing is, no one purchases MacOS from Apple. They only lease it from Apple. That's why Apple has a right to decide how it's used.

How Social Media Exploits Our Moral Emotions

Wow. It's a bit ironic to comment about fixing mentality while you're blatantly ignoring a rational argument with nothing.

I concur with the same statement. Newer domain specific syntaxes and tools are increasing the dependencies and cognitive load to get things done. One would have to remember the yaml syntax, and version specific keywords for Kubernetes, Docker, Ansible and everything in the container world just to deploy a statically linked Go binary. That's where we've come to now. It is worth pondering whether we are increasingly moving towards "give me the lego bricks, and I don't care to know what it specifically does" attitude, and if it's good or bad.
My experience of Signal is that people don't reliably follow up on safety number changes, yet keep using it in a MITM-vulnerable way. Including myself, honestly, because people change or reset phones frequently. Is your experience different?

At least with GPG I can factory reset all of my computers and phones and not have to re-establish trust if I take the right steps to preserve the secret key information.

Even if I don't preserve that correctly, people change computers less often than phones.

On the other hand, I'll admit that my GPG key is newer than my Signal number (which I've owned for 15 years), due to upgrading crypto algorithms.

I agree with your point but I suspect the problem with statements like the one you identified is that they claim too much.

In other words, if I say "The American people want X", there are surely some Americans who don't want X and I just alienated them. If, however, I say "many Americans want X", I'm making a weaker claim that is easier to defend.

In general, I prefer that people err on the side of making a weaker claim. It's less frustrating to communicate with people willing to do so (for me, at least).

The one downside of criticizing "weasel words" is that more people start making overly broad claims that you and I do not care for.

I write long bash and perl scripts. I keep things neat and tidy most of the time. My "temporary workarounds" are still in use today, in production, so I must have written them well enough for people to understand.

I'm not talking about canonicity, but about the copyrights themselves. Right now, copyrights can be entirely divorced from the creator of the work. But the motivation of a corporation to hire someone to create a work for them and that of a creator to get paid for their work are different enough that we shouldn't be treating corporations the same as people in this instance.

The example was intentional. It's why I also mentioned Wasteland. Obsidian and inXile are very close, and Obsidian did work under contract to inXile for Wasteland 2. Those studios are both filled with ex-Interplay/Black Isle people. They all got fired, and the rights went somewhere else.
It's really not about data structure or anything like that. The big problem with any large shell script is that it's utterly difficult to do proper error handling. Usually the best you can do is check return values to detect an error and 'exit' immediately, hoping that your "trap" works correctly to clean up behind you.

>Python lacks efficient, quick and dirty process control.

Yeah, quick and dirty, that's kind of the problem really. It's great for 20-line scripts but it turns into a huge mess for larger projects unless you enforce super strict guidelines and everybody has their doctorate in bash.

Python, perl and friends make it harder to spawn 3rd party programs and pipe them together for instance, but it also makes it massively easier to handle errors and give decent diagnostics to the user.

I appreciate Apple's value as a company as much as the next guy, but this was not a decision made lightly. If they want $100 from me over the right to run their OS on my computer (as I believe they used to charge during the PowerPC days), fine. But their failure to give consumers the option, in this and so many other cases, highlights a big frustration longtime users have with the company nowadays.

I'm sure Apple knows about the Hackintosh community, and I'm sure they follow it. I also know they have done little to stop it. As a user, I want them to care about my needs as much as they do about their bottom line. They used to.
The #GQL manifesto for a unified graph query language
The thread linked above has a fix in the latter problem that actually seems to point to the power supply, and that is likely why this seems to be hit or miss: "Because your system still freezes, it could be due to cross loading problems which can result in the power supply turning off when a load changes or result in voltages becoming out of specification causing system crashes and hangs. entire CCX or Core complex is taken down."

Setting "typical current idle" in "Power Supply Idle Control" in the BIOS seems to solve the problem here. Comments in the kernel bug report regarding this also show that this apparently solves the problem.

The idea about 'untethered AIs' is a good one - what will ground an AI in human ethics? Currently they are designed to win. Will it be even possible to create an AI that 'cares' about the outcomes its calculating?

Even if it is possible to 'tether' AIs, won't we just remove those limits? Look what we do to fake persons today - corporations. They are like AIs in that small calculations made throughout the entity guide the decisions as a whole.

We cyclicly add boundaries to what they're allowed, then the next administration removes those boundaries in the interest of unbridled growth.

We'll do the same with AIs. They'll calculate a 'best outcome' of letting millions die in Indonesian drought, because average standard of living will increase for everyone else. In one administration we'll want to temper such decisions with humanity; in the next we'll just want more beer.
