Adam Smith seemed to see things differently, for what it's worth (about the "blank slate", that is; not about freedom or equality).

I guess the point is we've had ~350 years of scientific discovery and philosophical musings since Locke, and we still don't have simple answers to any of this stuff.

I don't think any serious commentator today (on Quillette or elsewhere) would argue that the existence of some degree of innateness of human nature should pre-determine anyone to a lesser level of freedom or equality or ability to thrive in the world.

I think they'd argue that a better understanding of the former is necessary in order to improve the latter.

At least I would, as someone who has significant skin in the game in terms of my own ability to function.

Ok, sorry that I didn't provide a detailed Definition of what I have been talking about. And no, I'm not back pdealling. Physical differences, as I understood them in my original post, are measurable differences in e.g. brain density and weight, volume and such.

Also, I stand by by the argument that the difference betwen individuals is bigger than between sexes. Taking the extreme edge cases will of course show a certain tendency, right? But I did not considere Sports or stuff like that when I first posted.

So, instead of declaring my Argument having crumbled, why didn't you just ask which diferences I referred to?

And by the way, always bringing up the same Arguments (Sports for pure physics and chess for "IQ") whithout further Analysis of how the coresponding data is measured and what could have caused the differenmces doesn't help any discussion.
Actually, Danes and Sentinelese would both be classified as belonging to the same, Caucasoid, race. From the Wikipedia article on Caucasian race:

First introduced in the 1780s by members of the Göttingen School of History,[4] the term denoted one of three purported major races of humankind (Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid).[5] In biological anthropology, Caucasoid has been used as an umbrella term for phenotypically similar groups from these different regions, with a focus on skeletal anatomy, and especially cranial morphology, over skin tone.[6] Ancient and modern "Caucasoid" populations were thus held to have ranged in complexion from white to dark brown.[7]

No offence taken.

> But there is simply no simple solution that anyone has for how to solve it.

I think the problem can be less complicated if there is a sincere open conversation around it.

Let's put some context. In 1948 lots of people were dispossessed of their land and properties, this is still a very controversial thing that is very difficult to talk about. Just go to Jaffa in Israel and ask any Israeli person living in an Arab looking house how their family got to own it and you will realise how of a taboo subject this is. Of course there is no reparations or right of return in the pipeline of the talks.

So the first step to solve a problem is realising of it's existence. Instead, Israel seems to continue putting pressure onto the Palestinians with the appropriation of more land and the creation of more settlements [0].

It takes a lot of monkeys with a lot of paintbrushes a very, very long time to even complete a paint-by-numbers. This is worlds away from simple randomness; I invite you to try "just hit[ting] random" and see what happens.

If all you care about is increasing wealth, sure. If you care about a stable home, no.

You can sign up for rent at $2k a month, get the kids into school etc, then a year later the owner decides to sell, or increase the price by 50%, and you're stuck trying to find somewhere else to live near the school, subjecting yourself to the cost and stress of moving.

Moving across town every year when you're in your 20s is easy, rent a u-haul and you're done in a weekend. Owning a house when you are changing jobs every year or two like many people now is a ball-and-chain.

However later in life when you want stability, and want to stay in the same home for a decade plus (average time in a given house in UK is 21 years), owning is very beneficial. You only move when you want to move, the landlord can't kick you out on a month's notice.

I agree that (again IANAL) the clause would have to be extended to something like 'distribute or perform' rather than purely focusing on distribution. But I think it could be a compromise where software can still be fully open source, while calling out cloud providers that are not contributing back (well, actually, they'd have to call out themselves by putting the notice somewhere visibly ;)).

But I don't think they are really listening to other suggestions. This seems to be an effort backed by some VCs with the goal of getting the benefits of open source ('it's just like open source, so please contribute'), while having an exclusive opportunity to monetize 'the commons'.
The author of the article (overtly, as described in the article) organized the Commons Clause effort and the dishonest propaganda of selling it as a rider attached to an open source license by open source firms rather than a proprietary license by firms abandoning open source.

Ah, you should be able to use more finesse; and probably could except property development is full of bad actors who will exploit any edge they have.

All those stables ... in my parents rural village developers put animals in a field, apply for planning for a "feed shed" or "stable". Which gives then legal reason to put in utilities. Then they need a workers cottage and in the space of 10 years you turn a £4k piece of rubbish field in to £600k+ of triple-garaged greenbelt housing.
[ELIF] What happens in the EVM during smart contract creation
China passed a similar law last year[1] forcing citizens and companies to provide assistance with state intelligence matters.

Are these laws just a public acknowledgement and formalisation of what has been going on since early civilisation?

In the cold war it was bugged typewriters[2] and sabotaged chips and industrial components. Ten years ago it was counterfeit chips from China causing early failures in US military equipment[3] and US backdooring of cryptography standards[4]. More recently, Chinese companies have been factory backdooring hundreds of millions mobile phones[5] and Western countries have been vacuuming up the Internet[6]. How many integrated circuits purchased from factories abroad today can be trusted when hardware backdoors have been shown to be almost undetectable even to the best resourced labs?[7][8]

Instead of manufacturers around the world being coerced into backdooring technology[9][10] without regulation, at least there may now be some formality. These laws don't change how much trust can be placed in foreign technology (answer: not much at all). It shouldn't be a shock that Australia has banned Chinese equipment from the likes of Huawei and ZTE from broadband and 5G mobile network rollouts[11]. And it shouldn't be a surprise to Australian companies if China bans the import of Australian technology.

Poorly placed comment when the parent was discussing things like cubesats. Tiny satellites like these are probably better in the long-run for orbital debris due to a number of reasons. Firstly, by virtue of being smaller, atmospheric drag is greater and their decay is faster given a certain orbit. Second, they're more disposable than the larger sats, meaning lower orbit more economical when weighed against the capital cost of the mass-produced device itself.

The real problem for debris is higher orbits that don't decay after a reasonable service life. Those just accumulate forever.

On that subject, you would have a point for things like SpaceX's recent idea of putting up internet satellites, because those would be slated for orbits higher than more LEO missions, and would involve a large number of heavy objects there effectively on a permanent basis.

> optimising exclusively for development time is only for rarely-used/one-off things or if you don't value your user's time

Not true, because the lower-level languages introduce far more bugs which wastes user time even more because they can't get their work done.

Lower level languages these days are only used where performance and resource use must be controlled for. With Rust, that too will soon be a thing of the past.
Yes. The cost is somewhat due to construction and somewhat due to limited demand. They need to be pretty thin around the shoulders (1-2mm thickness) and impose zero restriction on stroke movement but reasonably thick around the legs (5mm thickness).

Having said that, for sprints in certain locales at certain times of year the wetsuit is purely optional, because the time gained from the wetsuit in the water is about equal to the time lost removing it in transition. For all longer distances it would be slower to race without one, though.
I still don't understand how come the CEO of reddit is okay with the redesign? It's worse enough that I had to install plugin to redirect to old.reddit.
Why not try http://ngDocumentor.github.io ? It needs no generator. Works as a SPA. Works as a Offline app (PWA). Custom routing feature, simpler search. More just one json config file to set up the whole site. Serves markdown files on the fly. Try it you will love it. Works on Github/Gitlab pages as well. No root access required.
I think that certainly can be true. But it also depends on how fast the application is changing. If you have a stable portion of the code base that sees significant traffic, by all means invest the time in optimizing. But it can be hard to keep up if you're in an environment where you're trying and iteratively adapting on a daily basis.

Some of the issues I have had with the new design is pretty amazing. For example, when you open a specific submission it's opened in a "lightbox" which basically contains all the comment. If you click outside of the lightbox it's automatically closed which I guess is OK. So some time ago they made a new release and broke it so that if you clicked on the scrollbar to scroll down in the lightbox to see what people had commented then the lightbox with all the comments closed.

I submitted some complaint in their redesign subreddit but immediately random people replied to say that this was as designed and I should use keyboard to scroll, and not the scrollbar. But then the issue was that when the lightbox was shown it wasn't focused so I first had to use mouse to click in the lightbox to focus it and then use keyboard arrows to scroll.

Such a joke. Amateurs.
I think Naon is very distinctive for his embracement of the importance of human touch & influence in generative art. His choice of color, his adjustment of the shape and form in the work (either intentional or accidental) all produce works that have a human element to them even as they are generated by a Processing script. Automation is a tool and a big element of the work, but the vision of the artist and his creation plays a big part in what the end result looks like.

I've often wondered - and maybe this is an actively explored area of art - what it would look like to attempt to remove all human impact from the process of generative art. A human will write the code, so maybe that's impossible, but how far divorced from the influence of the coder can the resulting work be? Do we just end up at random noise, or is it still possible to make something pleasing without a conscious guiding hand? Distribution-mimicking methods like GANs are very "hands-off" like this in principle, but of course are influenced by the training data. Interested to see how generative art continues to play out in the future.

> we need better and likely newer vocabulary

What about trans-women that want to be called women? Who see being called "trans" or "man" as an insult?

Isn't this the same kind of gate-keeping as the people who insist trans-women are men?

neither side might accept the new vocab precisely because they are a) reinforcing the old concept, or b) reinforcing an inverted version of the old concepts. Neither wish to create a new category, just define the same old ones.
Maybe there's an opportunity to combine computers and hand-made choices.

Art using a mixture of several generative tools and manual tweaks by the artist on the final result could achieve that goal of "breaking the rules just a little bit", especially if the generative tools are parametrical and easy to customize, maybe with direct manipulation on the generated canvas.
