So because we are dead in a few billion years we should give up after ~20k years?

I don't understand the point of this comment. You just restated something as though I said (or implied) it, when I very explicitly said the exact opposite.

So no, it is not the case that "because we are dead in a few billion years we should give up after ~20k years".

However, it is valuable - I believe - to keep things in perspective.
What's going on with this address that is spamming the Ethereum network?
Yes, depending on the size of the loan a borrower would pay good money for such data on a single user.

That being said, a less nefarious use could be lender has a std mortgage rate of 4.25%, but if you give us a FB data dump, you can quality for a 4.00% rate.
I like their software. I get an opinionated *nix under the hood and everything just works. I can text message, my calendar syncs to my iphone, and I like a lot of the macos only apps (fantastical, iterm, forklift, transmit).

I've used and still used linux a lot but it can be a pain. Much of the desktop linux software is lacking that extra 10% of polish, there are always little annoyances. And nothing pains me more than needing to load up a QT app in my Gnome environment.
I ran Linux on the last two MBPs that I used (from my work, can't afford one myself). Best Linux laptops I've used. And physically solid, I like the hardware quality. Only struggle was the HiDPI stuff which takes a bit of setup (some environment variables to set, basically) but once it works, it works.

I wouldn't say that MBP is "unsupported hardware" for Ubuntu.

I rebooted to OS X only rarely, for testing Mac programs, or sometimes for Skype and doing presentations, when I really didn't want to fuss with projector problems. (These days Skype is working a lot better on Linux..)
Yes. The choice before Google is whether to enter the Chinese market. Staying out of China may make some people feel morally satisfied, but will not give Chinese people more information. Rather Google should be using its influence to challenge censorship from the inside after it reenters the Chinese market.
Too many politicians and voters are in the habit of ignoring facts and instead going with their gut feelings, even when the facts directly contradict their "feelings". And unfortunately fear mongering for votes can be very effective.

Here's Newt Gingrich's classic "debate" between FBI crime statistics and his own "feelings". Notice particularly the language he uses to frame actual facts that don't agree with his ideology:

What's the point of the von Neumann probe?

Making a self-replicating probe to litter the galaxy seems like a pretty piss-poor thing to do to any interstellar neighbors. Ideally, those probes would have to do something other than make more probes.

Ideally, those probes would send information back here.

And once we ascribe a goal to the probes, all of the problems come back. Information from 4 light years away will take 4 years to reach here at best. From further, longer. What good is information that 3 centuries ago, there was a civilization on planet X?
Is there a community site that outlines recommended builds? I haven’t looked at Hackintosh stuff since the Snow Leopard days, but am reconsidering now that all my macs are getting up there in age (and none of Apple’s new offerings are appealing).

* Run a proxy server that caches pages. Basically all software supports proxies.

Sure, basically everything supports proxies. But if you're not running a MiTM attack the proxy doesn't see much. The proxy server gets CONNECT <domain> and relays the request without ever even getting the full URI for the requested resource, so it certainly can't cache it.

* Run a HTTPS caching server and add the CA to the systems.

I think there's several challenges here:

- This CA empowered MiTM attack isn't just proxying Wikipedia and other pubic sites anymore. It's also proxying banking information, and other things that should be secure. We've meaningfully reduced the security for everyone in that lab.

- Where previously a computer playing the part of the proxy could just sit between the computers and the internet at large, allowing new machines to be added at will. Now every new computer will need some operating system & browser specific setup work. Machines that move around (laptops, rasberry pis are super portable) will end up with a variety of random certs on them.

Even with a local SSL caching server, we're still looking much slower pages. The high ping & packet loss means that the extra requests required to set up the connection could add seconds of latency to even loading a page.

Which is kind of why he wants to go private. Because these rules are designed to prevent the behavior of corrupt CEOs, which he is not. Being public makes him richer, but ties his hands and prevents him from making certain decisions.
I wouldn't call their latest generation of MBPs wonderful. I've had weird video issues with both machines I've had (2016 and 2017 models). Touchbar is a novelty. Initially used TouchID, but haven't for several months now. (using 1Password's browser extension that doesn't support it, and Apple Watch for unlocking the machine). Haven't had the keyboard issues, but I also dock so I rarely use the keyboard.

I tried switching to Linux, but so many parts of my workflow I was making compromises on. (for instance, I prefer Tower for git and Transmit for S3) Multi-monitor was a headache.
>Because it’s the SEC. It’s the favorite tool to send rich people to jail. Of all the things rich Americans should be afraid of, the SEC probably ranks near the top, short of physical threats.

I'm very glad that a number of countries require nothing more of public companies than timely disclosed financials.

I think you are neckbearding because it sounds like a lot of your issues just boil down to unfamiliarity with the OS. There's a ton you can configure especially if you're comfortable with the command-line, which, as a Linux user, it sounds like you are.
Musk is only, what, 50 billion short of buying the company? Looks like another PR stunt.
Good point about identity being relationship-based. I've found DID's to be quite effective in providing cryptographically verifiable social proofs that are powered by our relationships. Keybase has an excellent integration of DID's and social proofs. I've verified my Hacker news identity and linked this identity to my Keybase identity, along with my Twitter, FB and github identity. If you know me on one of these platforms, you can cross-reference my identity and see that I've attested to my identity across multiple platforms. When you go to my Keybase profile, you can see I am currently in control of these identities, and I can revoke the keys I've created as provable links between my various profiles. This layering of social proofs is powerful in a variety of ways.
I really don’t get the obsessions with going private. It used to be everybody’s goal to go public, an IPO was one of the greatest achievements. Musks wants to go private to have better control of “his” companies and to prevent market pressures?

I think being a public company is good for many reasons, amongst other: the public can participate in the success of companies and for the company it provides a great reality gauge. Maybe that’s what he’s afraid of...
Ah yes, the old "beatings aren't working, BEAT HARDER." Easier than a systemic rethink anyways.
Sorry, it's not a gimmick. There are plenty of cultures which eat far less meat and are very healthy. In my opinion the difference is they know how to cook other food well. Of course I don't expect everybody to stop eating meat entirely, but why isn't it part of the answer to climate change?
I strongly recommend doing personal projects with ML, particularly projects/datasets that haven't been done before. (i.e. not that Titanic dataset or sentiment analysis of Trump's tweets)

How do you think it might compare to no search engine at all? Or one controlled completely by the Communist Party?

The ideal option that we'd all love to see, of the Chinese people given full and free access to uncensored and unmonitored information, is unlikely to be on offer any time soon. Refusing to meet the Communist Party's demands has only meant that control of information by the Party goes unchallenged in any way. Search is not something so unique and powerful that only specially smart Westerners can do it. As a result, holding out for this ideal is equivalent to actively advocating for the status quo.

That's the question at hand. Do we prefer posturing in the form of a moral stand that hurts people and strengthens the Communist Party or do we accept that other options might be worth considering?
Yes- uBlock origin. Does that screw things up?
This doesn't explain why I should build a Hackintosh.

I did it about 8 or so years ago on a Thinkpad T60.
It was fine, and basically worked.

But my time was more valuable than the incremental cost for Apple hardware.
Or there is a person who is trying to prove his offtopic point by some pedantic interruptions, which are far from the main idea of discussion.
You still don't need HTTP(S) for that. You could still use dTLS and later experiment with raw QUIC, sans HTTP.
I shouldn't have implied the feed-and-collapse sequence could only happen once. There can be repeats even with bacteria and sure, humans are more complex than bacteria, the process can be more complex.

The only thing not justified is the expand forever thing.
> Most people invoking a moral imperative to not make hackintoshes are coming from the angle that it’s stealing from Apple.

I don't feel a moral obligation not to steal from Apple. I'm not sure I could steal (and use) an amount from them that would impact them at all. I mean even if I stole a classroom full of MacBook pro's in order to give free programming classes - it's not like it would affect Apple in any meaningful way.

But I don't quite get why anyone would go out of their way to get hw they'll never be able to run legally licensed os on. For fun and learning, sure. Turn your linux/bsd box into a hackintosh by dual booting. But you can never do any work on it without risk. So what's the point?

Sure you can "buy" a copy of os x - but you only get install media and a license to run on Apple hw.
Yup, more people should read the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy if they're interested in Fermi's Paradox.
> We don't yet have the technology to colonize a single other body in our own solar system

Is it? Or is it that no one wants to put any resources into that because you would probably get very little out of it.

We are a money-based mostly capitalistic society, so unless there is any gain any entity whether it be a government or commercial company, investments in development of technology or actually attempting colonisation will not get anywhere anytime soon.

I wonder how tricky it'd be to serve a local copy of google analytics code that simply didn't report back to them. Or perhaps just redirect outgoing requests from GA to some internal resource that collects (for yourself instead of google) or drops the data and returns an expected response.

Then there would be no need to unblock their trackers to make websites function.
35$ per user per year is pretty decent for a low touch app like Instapaper. At that rate, they need just a few thousand subscribers per developer. I don't know how big their team is, and where they work / what kind of salary they pay themselves, and I have no clue how many users they have, but I'm pretty sure there are ways to make the math work out.

It's not really a problem for Clojure since it is on the JVM, so you get all of those libraries for free. Java interop is very easy, especially due to macros.

I've never used Clojurescript. I'm not sure how easy that is with Node.

I still don’t quite get it.

What would I put in the Bitcoin blockchain in order to create a DID? A public key hash and what else? In other words, what do I want to tie together with a public key, using the Bitcoin blockchain, in order to use it as an identifier?
>Most people invoking a moral imperative to not make hackintoshes are coming from the angle that it’s stealing from Apple.

>I look at it another way. Apple, as a company is failing to meet the needs of some of its users:

I don't see how the two perspectives are related, unless you think a company failing to meet your needs as a consumer is a valid reason to steal from said company.
> Swappable batteries (on some models),

I don't see the advantage, why would I pay the size / weight penalty? I don't use my machine long enough on battery in a single sitting to gain any benefit from extra batteries.

> universally better keyboards (at the very least, more robust!),

That is not an objective statement, its purely subjective.

> usually far cheaper for far better internals,

Not really, if you actually build a comparable machine the 'apple tax' doesn't even exist for many of their product, and is a couple hundred bucks for the rest. I spend a significant portion of my life on a computer, a couple hundred bucks means nothing. What you can do, and what usually happens when people do cost comparisons, is cheap out on some parts and come up with something considerably cheaper. That's fine, but it's no longer an apples to apples comparison and not a matter of Apple charging too much.

> ability to swap hardware out, before-market and after-market customization options...

Hardly anyone does this, even for desktops. I've been building my own PCs for ~20 years now. I remember the days of the 440BX chipset, when it came out you may have had a ~250Mhz cpu and 128MB of RAM, but just a couple years later you could toss a ~1Ghz PIII and multiple GB of ram it in cheaply. Thing is, that doesn't happen anymore. CPUs aren't advancing that fast and by the time you would want to upgrade the CPU there is a pretty good chance the new CPU requires a new chipset. RAM is also stagnant, we aren't seeing higher density or cheap prices (quite the opposite on prices actually, they have sky-rocketed). Point is, the last 3 PCs builds I've had are fully expandable and everything is swappable, yet the only component that has changed in any of them is the GPU. Expandability just isn't terribly important anymore.

If you are voting for someone in a representative system they are acting in your name and their action are your responsibility. Not to mention that you give legitimacy to such a system by participating in it and help it to perpetuate itself.

Then again, supporting the lesser evil might be reasonable in some situations, but that doesnt get you out of the responsibility of the actions of the lesser evil.

Voting is a lot like the Trolley problem.

A substantive comment is one that contains information that people can learn from. Your comment I replied to was just name-calling.
What exactly did the study say?

Exposure to blue light suppresses melatonin levels. Melatonin is previously understood to regulate sleep. Ergo, while causation between blue light exposure and sleep quality is not proven, we at least have grounds for suspicion.

What understanding am I missing? What "facts" are being misused?
That sort of depends on your definition of "corrupt", and I'm not sure you can say that so definitively. Yes, Musk isn't running these companies to line his personal pockets. But he's been incredibly clear that his goal is to raise funds for his Mars colonization project, which creates a tension between that aim and his fiduciary duty to Tesla. (This is not to say he's guilty of anything, but that even intentions we see as pure don't exempt him from standard practices.)

Is there a reason to think they are not the result of automation? Take a look at [1] - robots brought into US factories are directly responsible for lost jobs and lower wages. And I think you must be pointing to a state of affairs that hasn't been true for at least 40 years - look at the chart in [2]. I'm not interested in what may have been the case 60 years ago in post WWII boom-America, I'm interested in what the trends have been during the lifetime of the average reader here.

As for self driving trucks, who told you that? Per my prior comment, we're not there yet, but it is definitely coming. Automation hasn't reached driving yet and it won't in any significant way for at least another 5 years, but as soon as the tech is ready, adoption is going to be rapid. But saying "it hasn't happened yet, so clearly it's bogus" is like building a cabin on an active volcano and saying, "they said it would erupt within the last 5 years and that didn't happen, so clearly it's not going to erupt ever". Just because a predicted timeline is incorrect does not mean the predicted event won't come to pass.

Also, dogs are pretty rare. And kangaroos. Dolphins are as uniquely rare as humans.

We do have a surprising variety of life forms here on Earth. True, they all developed from a common base, but they've splintered into what seems like an infinite diversity.

I mean, as far as we know, dinosaurs weren't building spaceships.

But proponents of the Fermi paradox say that even if human-style intelligence is incredibly rare, the universe is incredibly old. The sheer magnitude of the timescales involved mean that there are literally no new ideas we could think of. That it only needs to have happened once for it to be noticeable.

Of course, the Fermi paradox assumes that it is possible and desirable to do such a thing.
Only it wasn't. The Northwest Ordinance was written the way it was specifically to appease slave states. It was calibrated so that slave states would outnumber free states by three even in the worst case. Everything from the slavery question, to the question of conditions under which territories would enter the Union, was settled in a fashion meant not to anger slave states. (Except, of course, for a few questions settled for what we, today, suspect were generous sums of money. But those were things like education. ie-where and how a university would be established.)

In fact, even a review of the Congressional Record, which I had the misfortune of having to do on these very two questions for a Capstone project back in undergrad, makes that very clear. It's obviously been a very long time, and the material involved was voluminous, but I can't recall offhand any mention of the penal labor industry. The debate was dominated by appeals to interests and even feelings of slave states.
