It is extremely important not to lose focus on the problem because they're going to try again and again to pass it, one way or another. They'll never stop: it's about profit both for the corporations bribing for those laws and the politicians being bribed to push for them, so they'll just keep pushing until they find the right weapon of mass distraction to keep the public attention away.

Also it is important to keep in mind the old tricks used to pass bad laws: they push initially for worse laws then after public protest they slowly step back to the initial goal to pretend people were listened to, so that not only they get what they wanted, but the public is also being fooled into believing their protest were successful and they have politicians who actually listen to them. How lucky!

I read this book when I was a kid and frequently back then, I was not concerned with reading books from beginning to end. I’d start in the beginning, skip to the middle if it got boring, skip to the end if I wanted to kill a cliffhanger, then go back and read everything in between, or eventually restart from the beginning. So this is how I read GEB. I think I never would have gotten through it from start-to-finish.
Thanks. That’s a good example.
Well, consider V4, Romania, Croatia etc.
Yep, or our 1st-gen comms tech (EMF, observable radio waves, unencrypted). But if earth is 4.5 billion years old, and the universe 3x that and 200 x 10^9 other stars in Milky Way, and 100x10^9 other galaxies in universe, and in our own planet/history many traits (eyes, etc) evolved independently many times over, and there's nothing "special" about Earth chemistry ( these elements are all produced by stars, everywhere ), and nothing special about Earth in the "habitable" zone around a star, --> why would we be the only life here?

And what's that Pentagon video of some super fast object? https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/16/us/politics/pentagon-prog...

I think if ET was real most people would still care about the same things (because consider that 2000 years ago we are warlike, violent, superstitious, gullible, flawed, selfish, kind, etc, and 2000 years later, after organized religion, industrial revolution, international travel, internet, long lifespans, mobile phones, we are still the same). Maybe 10 - 20% of the population would adopt ETs as some sort of "god" / higher power (but there are ppl who do this anyway, even now). I don't think much would change, but ppl would try holding their governments to more accountability ( why don't we have that tech, why have you kept it secret ), but like most protest movements recently, it will probably be pretty ineffective. I use to think there will be large scale civil unrest, but now I think, people really won't care.

But if there is that tech on Earth, then our military has to make it a priority to obtain it (because what if someone else also has it), so there's that consideration, which could justify keeping everything secret (what if everyone had a UFO and could fly anywhere they wanted at 20,000 km/h? probably chaos, an upending of the order ~ but maybe not. We thought individuals having access to all information, and a publishing platform, would make individuals vastly more powerful, but that hasn't really upended the order. If anything, the State has become more powerful because of the internet.)

But UFO travel would sure beat 15 hours across the pacific in an uncomfortable aluminium tube.

For me this book was a companion to Metamagical Themas, a collection of Hofstadter’s Scientific American articles. Being a collection of articles, that book is much more accessible.

Yes the founders of America had great vision and developed a radically new kind of country. But I'm not convinced that they had great vision or positive impact with regard to slavery. Weren't they hypocrites to permit slavery while proclaiming proudly that all men are created equal?

The Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 abolished slavery throughout the British Empire. The thirteenth amendment to the United States constitution abolished slavery in 1865. So a first approximation is that American independence extended slavery on US soil by 32 years.

I think there is a modern predisposition particularly in analytic, academic circles wherein criticizing a work is tantamount to somehow being "more superior" than the work itself. This article reminds me of such ivory tower conceits.

What I liked about Godel, Escher and Bach was that although it introduced some heavy concepts--it did so in a playful way. It opened many doors in relation to consideration of the world and the things in it that had been closed to me previously.

I am sure I could find some way to suggest that the work is somehow "not as good as everything thinks". I can do that with any literature but such articles are more like flame bait. What I have to ask is "Did my engaging with the work leave me having a fundamentally different worldview? Did it broaden my horizons somehow?" In the case of this work, yes, it did. Everything else is a footnote to that experience.

>From someone who describes themselves as being very bad at the job! Maybe this was what he was getting wrong?

Perhaps. He was really awful at the whole "military discipline" part of being in the military. Now he's a software developer, so that all worked out for him.

>This is what people get wrong. When an officer says 'jump' the enlisted man actually responds 'tell me what you want me to achieve, sir, then it's my job to decide how I want to make it happen whether that's jumping or something else'.

I personally only have 2nd hand accounts of the interaction from the officer's side, so I may well be getting it wrong.

My physics classes had a few navy guys in them, who were trying to get...something or other, they needed a degree in a hard science to get a promotion. I don't really know what exactly. Anyway, being really interested in ships I talked their ear off about everything whenever they'd let me. And the topic of ordering men around was always treated with a certain...presumption that every word they said would be instantly obeyed without question. Stand here and look over there at the horizon until I say otherwise sailor. Scrape this wall with this scrapper sailor, and then paint it over. Carry this crate below decks, no stopping sailor.

Sometimes when my girlfriend and I are laying in bed after a long day and just aren't quite ready to unplug and sleep, we take turns reading randomly selected sections from IAASL. There's a couple other books in the rotation, but it's a fun one. The mini theater of it becomes kind of self referential as we try to mess up how the other person feels about the reality being thrown at them.

You really can't do that with GEB. It's still valuable, but I think Hofstadter covers the issues with GEB himself just fine so I won't pick it apart.

But yeah, we just pick a section at random and try to sell it to each other with a read. Sometimes we do kind of a theatrical Exquisite Corpse paragraph to paragraph. It's silly, but something about not only the content, but the context of trying to mess up each other's consciousness with the read is not only fun but after 5 minutes you're having a laugh and forget about whatever you cared about all day. Turtles all the way down. Lol.

I know it's dumb, but I just wanted to share. Works ok with Garfield comics too.

The role of vitamin C in collagen synthesis is to oxydize lysine and proline. If you already consume enough hydroxylysine and hydroxyproline, which can be found in collagen, then you don't need the vitamin C.
The fundamental building block of FRP is something called a Behavior, which is a container for a value that changes over time. More specifically, it's not just any container - but rather one which follows laws that make it a candidate for passing into pure functions that expect certain typeclasses (specifically it's a Functor, Applicative, and some others)

The result is that you can do the same things with a Behavior as you can with other Functors and Applicatives and things - for example you can `map` it with a function that operates on that inner value (whatever it may be) and you'll get a new Behavior which contains that transformed inner value.
> You're just twisting words here. The fact that switching costs are too high means it's superior.

I don't see how high switching costs implies superior, nor how that's part of a definition for superior. For superior app I'd consider that to mean if it's better. It's also weird your usage of superior has shifted. You've stated it became bigger because it was superior; meaning superior is not about how much used it is. But you also define superior as having pretty much everyone use it. This seems to conflict, no?

It's been about 2 years I think since I did that. Skip the Socratic dialogs basically. I think the course I linked is the same one I went through. He covers it in the first video.

Why is this even supporting HTTP 1.1? And why HTTP at all and not just HTTPS? Encryption should be the default on all protocols going forward. No exceptions.

And I agree, it should use something like a Noise protocol even instead of HTTPS.

So, you are essentially saying that network effects don't exist, then, right?

The idea of network effects is that they create a cost simply for individually choosing an uncommon option, after all other costs and benefits have been accounted for. Which would obviously imply that they create an incentive to choose a common option even if it were an inferior choice without the network effect, as long as the benefits of the uncommon option don't exceed the cost caused by the network effect. Which would thus imply that a situation could arise where everyone individually chooses an inferior product. So, if you say that that can't happen, then network effects don't exist, right?

> 100k in SF is the same as 70k in London which is the same as 5k in Tunis.

Not really. Only some things are significantly affected by the local cost of living: rent, food, nights out for instance. Sure, they probably make up the majority of your spending, but CoL is almost irrelevant for

- Buying luxuries: a Porsche or an iPhone are nearly the same price everywhere in the world

- Going on vacation

- Savings, if you don't intend to stay where you currently live forever

Depending on your lifestyle, these categories could easily make up most of your income, in which case $5k per year is terrible even if it covers the CoL in Tunis.
As an educator, I'm always quite puzzled by comments such as Weinstein's. He states that "we have an educational system that's based on taking our natural penchant for exploration and fashioning it into a willingness to take on mind-numbing routine." But there's a problem: to really learn something deeply, you have to do hard work; it's not all just fun + creativity to grok the inner-workings of a microprocessor (or whatever you're into). So you get forced to go down these paths, with lots of work along the way, so you can finally understand something deep. Only then can you innovate, because you have a solid understanding of the state of the art.

Imagine if he wrote this line instead: "to remind ourselves that the hotel maid who makes up our bed may in fact be a microprocessor designer? The accountant who does our taxes may well have a new surgical procedure that he works on after the midnight hour?" It would just sound ridiculous.

The reality is that study and hard work, all part of the current educational system (esp. at the high end), all are needed to move society forward, not people writing screenplays.

> but surely you appreciate that direct communication in person is.. well, at the very least 'efficient'?

No, I don't. I believe written communication is far more efficient. Cavemen talk. Writing is the greatest technology we've ever invented. Forget all your latest devops crazes, you can't do anything useful without writing.
Haha of course it does, though perhaps not to you. If there were a superior alternative, people would use it. You're just defining this problem so narrowly has only the app itself or something. It's the network, the integrations, the history, etc.
I think what most people are missing in these comparisons is that London's tech market is hugely contractor oriented, and so it makes more sense to compare day rates. Finance in London pays typically £500-600 per day for average level frontend and backend work. There's the potential to earn much higher if you're good at what you do.
> Status lags by a generation or more.

That's a really overlooked point, and perhaps the most contrarian nugget of wisdom in this damn good piece of advice. Point is, whatever successful thing you do, it'll always end up gaining you a certain degree of prestige (which is ultimately a form of bullshit, but that's another topic).

These days I am looking to rent a flat in India. It's a tough task for a bachelor here - add to that the fact that builders rarely build 1 bedroom flats.

So any broker I call simply tells me "WhatsApp me your requirement, budget, and details". When (sometimes) say "I'll SMS" the prompt response is "no no, WhatsApp". Most of them/us here don't check SMS - it's reserved for either spam or bank txn notifications and OTPs.

If you'd ask me personally I think Article 15 is far worse than Article 13. Computer programs are also copyrighted so this would make really hard time for anyone trying to maintain the business once it grows. If this is passed (if I understand this correctly) a subcontractor could sue you for extra money you gained on some of his contributions. It's like contracts no longer define how much you owe to people because everything may change if you succeed. How do you reinvest the money in such conditions?

The only way to match the funding behind copyright increase is to appeal to the public, but the opposite lobby control the media which most of the public feeds on as if it were manna from heaven.

If you are on AWS, try ECS first, it is much simpler and has main features you need: HA, autoscaling, version control.
