It's kinda serious, but kinda funny at just the ridiculousness of the whole situation.

> My opinion is that there is significant and ongoing progress in philosophy...

> 16. Much greater incorporation of the insights of women into philosophy...

How is the "incorporation of the insights of women into philosophy" a progress in philosophy? This is not a progress in a philosophical subject; it is not a discovery in philosophy; it is not even a philosophical topic; at best it is political correctness.

Ask HN: Why have I received a lot of Privacy Policy updates
Recently I have received a lot of Privacy Policy updates from cloud services: twitter, google, gitlab, github, slack, etc. Very noisy IMHO.

I don't really know if I should spend time to learn new updates. Should the service provide some `diff`? Is my account closed if I don't read/learn new policy? Is new update compatible with old ones? bla bla whatever, the question is why these services are sending updates almost at the same time/?

What's wrong with them, or my account(s)?

>>You are not allowed to literally sign away your firstborn, sell yourself into slavery, or accept a job at less than minimum wage.

The last item is nothing like the first two. The EU is now going to see the natural conclusion of a society based on its conception of contract rights. Digital technology magnifies the effect of everything by several orders of magnitude, so I suspect we'll see dramatic consequences flow from the law.
> And yes, I've read the law.

Have you read recital 1? https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-1/ ? The starting point of the law is that data protoection is a fundamental human right,. The data subject owns their PII, not some company collecting it.

It's all up whether you are willing to accept that as a fundamental right or not.

I mean there is a billion of Chinese that live with the fact that free speech is not a fundamental human right. Most Westerners have a problem with that.

Now many US based IT professionals seems to have problems with accepting that nobody else can own the data about a human.

> It's typical of legislation in that it obviously wasn't written by people who knew what it looked like to perform that in a real life business.

That's what a cotton farmer could have said when they made slavery illegal. Obviously respecting other's human rights makes some business models illegal.

Assuming that you already own a gun.

I do agree with what you said, but I don't believe that trying to limit the freedom of someone to kill themselves using a gun is the best solution.
I give you a straight forward notion that is scientific and concrete (the notion of "agent") - in other words - all that the notion of consciousness isn't, and you reply with new age hocus-pocus.

Of course you're free to think about the macrocosmic consciousness and the tantric web of relations that tie subject to object. But that isn't getting us any closer to understanding the topic. It's just a 1000 year old mostly forgotten philosophy. Even in tantra, it is considered that the subject acts through three energies or processes - iccha: will, jnana: knowledge and kriya: action - the same three aspects that define an agent.

The agent approach has game theory and reinforcement learning to back it, with real applications and results (such as Alpha Go). It does not presuppose a spirit, it has no mind-body problem, and is testable (no "first person" firewall around it). Given all that, I think the agent theory is much more parsimonious that the spiritual and philosophical treating of consciousness.

Keto is not exactly compatible with anaerobic exercise. If you're lifting or performing a mix of aerobic and anaerobic (e.g. running / sprinting intervals), your muscles still need some glucose. I'd suggest checking out the cycling ketogenic diet (carb cycling) - it will allow you to refuel your muscles' glycogen stores, allowing anaerobic exercise (weight lifting, etc) while maintaining ketosis 99% of the time (staying lean). Also check out alpha lipoic acid supplements, it will increase the ratio of glucose provided to your muscles vs fat storage during your carb load. Go get ripped :)

Keto and IF can be very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. I'd suggest getting regular blood testing with your doctor while adjusting and figuring out your routine and meal plans.

I really like this article, and agree with a great deal of it. But while what he's doing looks a lot like Kanban, it's not. Kanban is a method for process improvement, not a method for managing software projects. We write about this in both Learning Agile and Head First Agile -- here's an excerpt: https://twitter.com/AndrewStellman/status/100022571573903360...

When Jenny Greene and I were working on our book, "Learning Agile: Understanding Scrum, XP, Lean, and Kanban," we were lucky enough to have David Anderson (the guy who adapted kanban for software development) review our chapter on Kanban, and he really helped us nail down this particular issue.

Other than that (and a few things he says about the PMP certification), what he says in the piece is spot on. Nice work -- I'd love to see it expanded into a book!

Elon Musk's Twitter rant is a smoke-and-mirrors tactic hides truth about Tesla
On the other hand, Ghostery's business model is apparently based on an opt-in feature that reports back data on which ads were blocked... so that subscribing companies can learn how to avoid getting their ads blocked in the future. Very confusing.
You can't have a legitimate opinion on whether GDPR is a good thing or not, because you don't event understand what data is.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been on an extended Twitter rant against critics of the company.

His most recent target is the media, which he says has lost the public's trust and should be tracked for truthfulness.

Musk is doing all this to distract from the alarming reality of Tesla's struggling business.

My longest stretch of keto (and lots of IF) was about a year. I lost around 100lbs. During that time, I rode a bit over 3000 miles on my bicycle, longest ride was 120 miles in a day (purely fueled by keto, coffee, and water - do not do this unless you have supervision by a medical professional). Keto is well known by some ultra-marathoner (insane people) buddies of mine.

Being in the ketosis state is amazing for intellectually intense work.

Regarding bodybuilding, I will copy and paste a reply of mine from another comment:

Oh, you'd think so. Then you might be unlucky enough to work with some 'senior programmers' who have been 'doing Agile for years' and are able to convince the manager that a spike that doesn't result in code that will go to production is a waste of time. I never worked out whether that was malice or stupidity.

A server 'processing' (which seems to include using it in any way, not just storing [1]) your IP address appears to fall under the GDPR[1], and said server would be in violation of the law unless its processing falls under one of the exemptions.

The main exemption appears to be getting the user's explicit consent, though there's also this super vague exemption: "for your organisation’s legitimate interests, but only after having checked that the fundamental rights and freedoms of the person whose data you’re processing aren’t seriously impacted." [2]

In general, it seems very hard to avoid the GDPR because what is considered 'personal data' is extremely broad.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something.

The GDPR comes across as a consequence of businesses not self -reguating themselves well enough. If businesses weren't so lacksidasical with personal information; and aggressive with marketing, we wouldn't need it!

Very interesting thread on free will! I think the key to a solution lies on a clear definition of words used to refer to the self, such as "our", "ourself", "yourself", "I", "we" and such. When you say "I"; what or who do you refer to?
Many industries are already like this. Certainly anything that touches securities laws or payments. Or safety regulations, or government customers. It was once possible to start a bank (Goldman Sachs origins buying receivables), a hedge fund, PayPal, etc etc without heavy compliance costs and infrastructure. Then things change. Though GDPR has a longer history, the US election showed that data-collecting people-connecting internet companies can do even more systematic damage and e.g. permit more foreign election manipulation than any one financial institution.

They might not crash an economy but they can crash a democracy.

So really the regulation is somewhat deserved and levels the playing field with other industries that have the potential to damage society.

Personally I wish two people could start an internet company or a bank or an exchange or an investment fund without deep pockets for compliance and legal. But it’s no more. Mourn it and think about the next sector that is open for growth.
> "Non-empirical statements are meaningless"

This is a non-empirical statement, given that you probably don't believe that you can demonstrate the truth of it empirically.

Putting it another way, perhaps you might agree with the following statement?

"All legitimate knowledge is gained empirically."

But how do you know this? Did you reach this conclusion empirically?

So there must be some things that you know through non-empirical means.
A couple things I note :

1) Lightman's description of his hallucinationish experience at the age of nine, wherein he perceived all time in one instant [or had the sensation of doing so], reminds me of Julian Barbour ["The Discovery of Dynamics"] and his hypothesis that all spacetime exists simultaneously -- not in a Minkowski-eque 'loaf,' but in a static collection of mathematical configuration spaces, each of which represent a "now" [which word, coincidentally, concludes Lightman's article].

2) I can relate to Lightman's notion of 'Nothingness' as it relates to quantum field theory -- when I first cracked Tony Zee's "QFT in a Nutshell," I'm pretty sure I experienced the same feeling of complete inconsequentiality described by Lightman, though for totally different reasons.
I'm running a small startup and finding GDPR compliance is small beans compared to the tax code and employment law, both of which we have no trouble complying with.

I love that someone made this! It's not mobile-friendly but I was content to pan and zoom on my phone just to read about some robots. Fun to look at. I remember building a "robot" of the 3-wheeled kit variety at the Pacific Science Center in the 1990s. My kids just built some toothbrush robots at the local library. They certainly occupy a huge and yet curiously ignored part of human consciousness.
>>Any balance remaining after 25 years is forgiven, effectively covered by taxpayers.

This looks like a very serious flaw in the repayment clause on the very face of it.

To think that people are doing multiple jobs waiting tables, working minimum wage and surviving on tips are paying taxes to subsidize this sort of education is bonkers.

The government should first exhaust all recovery chances(going after the home, assets etc) and then think of the next steps.
You You Xue, an early Tesla Model 3 owner, created the project to tour North America and Europe and show the new electric vehicle to the many reservation holders.

Electrek’s Take

When he says that it hits the median at an “exit fork”, the accident sounds reminiscent of the fatal Model X accident on Autopilot in Mountain View where it confused the median for a lane.
To get the job you just need to be better than other candidates. If you are good at what you do, you'll be fine. Same as in any other field.
If “fold[ing] up shop” includes filing bankruptcy and losing all of your non-retirement assets, and you’re cool with that, then you’re basically good.

An LLC won’t protect you from claims that you personally screwed up; or that you treated the LLC like an alter ego (rather than as a separate entity) and thus piercing the veil is appropriate.

If you want to consider a very very unlikely but not impossible scenario, look at the Hulk Hogan/Peter Thiel vs. Gawker litigation and its aftermath.

If you need protection from litigation threats, you need insurance; structures like LLC’s don’t win/settle lawsuits, they make it tougher for plaintiffs to collect after they win a judgement.

It is true that there is no barrier in Berlin, but you still need to buy a ticket. For casual users such as myself, who don't have a season ticket, this takes significantly longer than 480ms: find ticket machine, queue, navigate menu, insert cash, wait for change and ticket to be printed, find ticket validation machine.

It is quite possible to miss the train here by having to queue to buy a ticket, particularly in busy places like the airport. This could be avoided if the tourists were able to use their existing cards/phones to tap in.
I am not advocating that people break privacy laws. I am instead advocating that US internet businesses simply stop doing business with EU customers.

If the EU doesn't wants these services, then hopefully these services will decide to leave, and the EU citizens can decide if it was all worth it.

I am certainly going to block EU customers on all my future side projects. It really isn't worth the bother for something that I just made for fun, and isn't making many money. Easier to just block this small market wholesale.

I even found a way to block them with a single line of frontend code!

We're going in circles. Let me repeat: nobody has a problem with increased data protection and privacy. We're all better off for it.

But the laws regarding it are not clear for an actual operating business. Instead of being simple and straightforward to implement, they are an ambiguous mess that are wasteful and misplaced. Laws designed that way almost never actually accomplish what they set out to do.
Any features that require root would still require root if installed from the Play Store. That is not relevant to the argument that you can always install things blocked from the Play Store by getting them from other sources.

Moreover, the ad blocking features you get without root are a strict superset of the features that are possible at all on iOS.

So, I've got an AirMini, and I'd really like a battery solution for it. The thing is, most battery setups I can buy for it are not only big and bulky enough to support larger machines with heated tubes/humidifiers, but they have their own big and bulky power supply. I mean, the whole point of the airmini is to trade extra money for a secondary machine that is easy to throw into your bag.

I was thinking of a project to power the whole thing off of usb-c, which seems kinda silly, but the whole point of buying a tiny secondary cpap is to save bag space, right? and I already have compact USB-C chargers and batteries, and more importantly, I can buy those things in regular stores, should I lose my existing components. Also, the AirMini kind of looks like an apple product itself, so USB-C just seems appropriate.

https://www.resmed.com/us/en/consumer/products/devices/airmi...

(Compare that to the giant setup the guy took down the grand canyon.)

being able to use the same power supply and battery for the cpap and everything else would make the whole setup more convenient.

I think USB C pd gives me on the order of 100w and I think the AirMini uses less than 30w. But I have a lot of ee to learn between here and there. My first 'figure out how to power it off USB-C PD' project would be one of my old thinkpad laptops; my X220 uses a 20v power supply, and USB C PD is also 20v, so it seems like it shouldn't be that difficult.
