> An excellent example of this is how a 6-10% wage gap is considered an acceptable outcome of biological differences and choice, but a 10% average difference in primary education among young men is a crisis, with multiple think tanks suggesting society caters too much to young women and that being a young man is "a liability."

That's just so wrong... (1) it's not that 10% wage gap is considered an acceptable outcome, it's that wage gap (as a sexist discrimination) is a bogus concept in itself - obviously people with better/worse education, more/less experience that spend more/less time working are going to be paid more/less - e.g. noone complains about the much greater wage gap between old and young workers; (2) 10% education gap is a problem, just like it was a problem when less women went to school compared to men... and even that's mainly a problem because for a society it's beneficial to have highly-educated people, so it's worth considering the possibility that we're actually doing something "wrong" when it comes to education everyone and that maybe we could be doing something better (especially given that it's generally accepted that there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes).

Nothing really new except the social media amplifier. After all, the Ad industry has been defined by this quote since the 60s:

I agree... this is an interesting concept we should explore. As an analogy to the corporate veil, basically anything a person would do in their employment would generally be forgiven as "well, you've gotta make a living", unless it reaches a point where it's sufficiently morally wrong to still hold the person responsible for their actions on the job. For example, if their job were Winston Smith's (George Orwell character) job of editing historical news articles to distort the past, then we might say Winston is still personally responsible.

The difficulty here is holding CEOs responsible for crimes with "piercing the corporate veil" is holding a high level, powerful decision-maker, with options, responsible... rather than a person who might be trying to support 5 kids and some elderly parents, and couldn't just choose to sweep the street instead of working at the Ministry of Information for 6 figures.

> in Britain [...] most mid-sized cities have decent public transit

Strongly disagree with this. It might be better than the US, but to call it "decent" I think is a bit of a stretch.

Most journeys, in most cities, will be 3x faster by car or more. The exception is usually rush hour commuting into the city centre.

In my hometown for example the buses used to run on a 20 minute timetable in the middle of the day. I could cycle or drive into the city before the bus even arrived.

Inner city London is the exception. In the suburbs public transport is mostly useful for going in to Central London.
I don't find that so objectionable, to log into their site you need to enter some credentials, _usually_ that checking is being offloaded from medium onto a third party you may trust more. In the case that you really need to access it where you don't wish to log into your primary email you will still need to login to something, their approach allows you to choose what sort of login security you'd like (maybe you want 2FA via google, maybe you want a more security lax service)

I think password managers are great but the service I see them providing that has the most benefit is to reduce the number of passwords the user needs to actively remember. The single sign on approach has it's weaknesses but the idea itself is pretty sound, you should legitimately trust facebook or google or whoever to know more about secure authentication than some random site... the fact that this service comes with a privacy leak and implies greater online presence tracking is terrible, but the core idea is sound. It'd just be nice to have a neutral party doing it.
Its also highly paid at least in the west even more so when you get to supervisory roles eg £2k for a single 10 hour weekend shift for a pit deputy.
Consequently, any time someone proposes something that will improve the lives of every working American, a disturbing number of us respond along the lines of, "Hey, I work my ass off, and I've had to suffer over ____, so everyone else should have to suffer at least as much." As opposed to, say, "Hey, I've had to deal with ____, and it sucks. Let's fix it so none of us have to deal with this anymore."
I'm not sure what you're getting at here. What you say sounds like a perfectly interesting starting point for thinking about consciousness (although I'm not sure how it's supposed to fit with the fact that we're not computers, and have a distinct cognitive makeup, that mainstream psychology - 'cognitive psychology' - has committed itself to studying for several decades, with great profit). You would, in any case, have to specify what you mean by 'agent, environment, reward' - that sounds like a great deal of psychology.

But what I took objection to was the suggestion that philosophy is or should be primarily interested in clearing up some of the conceptual problems attendant to contemporary computer science and engineering.

I'm sure that's one interesting area of philosophy, but it is only one, modest area.

There is the philosophy of aesthetics and literature, of ethics and politics, of religion and science, of epistemology and knowledge, of the philosophy of history and the history of philosophy, and so on.

From what you said about existing philosophy ('Chinese room', qualia and 'hard problem' of consciousness) and the philosophy you would like to see (as doing the same thing as AI but worse), you completely discarded what the vast majority of what philosophers - now, and most certainly in the past - have actually done and been interested in.

That is why I said you had a parochial view of philosophy.

All that aside: I would be interested to hear how you think AI should change the philosophy of language and meaning.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_fallacy

Still irrelevant to the subject. It doesn't prove or disprove anything.
Aleve is naproxen sodium immediate release designed as a fast-acting analgesic, Vimovo uses slower-acting base naproxen in an enteric-coated delayed release tablet as the core around which the immediate release esopremazole magnesium is wrapped. The esopremazole magnesium —as well as he enteric-coating for the naproxen—is a technique to manage the potentially serious side effects of long-term use of naproxen.

If you can get your doctor to write you a prescription for separate enteric-coated delayed release naproxen and immediate release esomeprazole magnesium, that may be a suitable substitute.

Using the non-generic OTC medicines you (and the blog you cite) name, which would reverse which component has delayed released and use a faster-acting NSAID formulation is definitely not a suitable substitute. (Also, the non-physician writing the blog gets dosages wrong, suggesting 440mg of OTC Aleve—which he claims is naproxen, when it is in fact naproxen sodium—is a substitute for 500mg of base naproxen; if Aleve was naproxen you'd obviously need 500mg, not 440mg, but with naproxen sodium, the equivalent to 500mg of naproxen is 550mg of naproxen sodium, so in addition to magnifying the side effects the drug combo seeks to manage, his recommendation would seem to be underdosing for the intended therapeutic effect.)

And this is why you shouldn't take medical advice from someone whose qualifications for giving such advice seem to be that he is a health economist and former hospital accountant.
I mean, a lot of the brain is devoted to sensation, so if you don't care about simulating how the brain interprets certain aspects of sensation (motion, depth, vision more generally) you could probably simulate other functions. For memory, however, at least, there's a lot of evidence that you'll need to simulate sensory systems to be able to accurately simulate recall [0].

Here’s the thing: a webpage will never be able to do a number of privileged operations, for a very simple reason - visiting an arbitrary web page is not controlled by a user, as any webpage can cause an automatic navigation to another.

Installing an app acts as a user intent driven security boundary. Dialogs coming up on random webpages is a buck-passing technique, as users cannot discern a “safe” request from an unsafe one. This applies to technical users as well - dialog fatigue, incorrect script inclusion, ads, etc. eventually you can end up accidentally saying yes to the wrong dialogue and a random website gets to download your contact list, etc.
Whether or not Microsoft can be trusted is not relevant. It's just very surprising to me that Microsoft itself blindly trusts disk vendors, instead of using their own encryption layer on top.
The lecture and the Q&A where the points were made predates your comment here and is not necessarily about the pros and cons of an individual on the short term, assessed under rather unfair political-economic regulation.

The analysis is at the macro level, with a view to why/how a society can pursue reforms towards fairer socioeconomic reality, instead of being submissive to the prevailing order. Slavery, for one, seemed unmovable too at one point in history.
The reason should not be relevant.

Exactly right. Adios just requests API access.

The way it works:

1. creates a filter that filters your incoming emails into a hidden gmail label

2. at your chosen times we use the gmail api to move the emails back in to the inbox.

Adios never ever accesses the content of your emails, for any reason.
It was on Fox news not even a week ago, and I've seen UK news segments on this as well.

I am fairly sure some of the audience here is acutely aware of this line of thinking. Note, for example, how many people are assuming I'm talking about the more common complaint of college statistics. I never once mentioned college or university. They think they know the argument I'm presenting even though I used language that in fact didn't present this population at all. The majority of respondents to my post have read into the argument, because they're aware of a variant of it, and have filled in the perceived gaps.
We're a fairly clever group here, with diverse knowledge. Which means I trust that people asking for advice here realize the need to balance anything posted here with asking a doctor.

Besides, doctors won't tell you anecdotes from other patients. They will present you with the options to treat your problems. Sometimes there are clear answers how to proceed. But when it is less clear, all they can do is tell you the options, and give you pros/cons, and maybe possible outcomes. You then need to make a decision. And asking other people who have been in the same place can be helpful to that decision-making process.
Only really in mainframe shops - though I did in my first job enter a lot of code for a female engineer.
Well, regardless of who is believing what, the issue is their reasons. I.e. why do they believe what they do.

Atheists/agnostics who do not understand science, yet believe it anyways likely do so because they are confident that they, or anyone else, could understand it if they put in the necessary effort to do so.

The same can not really be said of theists/deists. I'd be happy to be proven wrong here, of course.
Ahh. I would guess that they aren't blindly trusting them. Given Microsoft's historical relationships with hardware vendors I would bet they have at least partially audited the firmware.
It's a very difficult process to turn on and isn't something that happens automatically. You must flip the bit using the SSD manufacturer's tool, reinstall Windows, and then enable BitLocker. Even then, it only works with a handful of SATA SSDs and maybe 2 NVMe SSDs with 1 or 2 motherboards.
That the doctrinal basis is different does not change that law requires interpretation by experts using something more sophisticated than "it's just code".

Civil jurisdictions don't have caselaw as an independent source of legal rules, but they still have cases and they still have interpretation. It is not uncommon for an ancient Roman jurist's opinion to be cited in argument in Scots law, just as it is not uncommon to cite very old English cases in Australian law. And it is also common to have civil codes in common law jurisdictions -- the criminal law I was taught was based on a statutory instrument which asserted itself to be the whole of the criminal law and which was frequently amended whenever courts began to accrete rulings around it.

Is deplatforming effective at actually making people less hateful? Deplatforming saw a significant rise in the last half decade or so, but it seems to be correlated with a rise in polarization and hate rather than correlated against it. Case studies like Reddit's subreddit bans only measured the attitudes within their own platform, rather than in society as a whole. On the whole, I'm skeptical of the claim that a society can censor itself out of a disgruntled segment of the population, and it potentially risks reinforcing radical views (e.g. people pointing to the deplatforming of Gab as proof of conspiracies theories that some groups' manipulation of society).

How often have you found yourself changing your views after, say, you get banned from a forum for speaking your mind?
It kills as a chemical, but is detectable as a radioactive substance. Using it means you have access to a nuclear reactor and extensive infrastructure. It is a weapon that could only have come from a state actor, one with an extensive nuclear program and a willingness to weaponize material from that program. That is a very short list. Had they wanted to remain anonymous they could have used any of a dozen different methods that could not be so easily traced. They weren't trying for a knife in the dark.

I do; a random SO answer will be miles better than anything coming out of an average organisation.

To write an SO answer, you need to actually care about answering SO questions. To write code in an average company, you need to... have a pulse, it seems.

I don't think we can renounce humanism. I don't think we should, at least. If you've ever seen something beautiful, if you've ever lived with someone really beautiful, in their values, their actions, their character, intelligence, personality, appearance, if you've ever heard truly moving music, I think you'd be betraying yourself by being anything less than a fierce humanist -- all this beauty doesn't belong to the immortal, perennial, indifferent universe, isn't a fruit of the economic system, isn't a product of machines, of the eternal structure of the cosmos, or anything else, even life itself. It lies singularly in the human mind, the beholding eye, and in the presence of other humans to share it.

This demands faith in a certain human ideal -- high above the corruptible idiocy in display in politics -- the basis which produced those indefectible experiences, feelings and ideas most people had a chance of experiencing, or at least had a small glimpse. No matter what happens, one can't lose faith or abandon this defense of the basic human ideal (if only your own humanity) in favor of anything else, or nothing else. It's not about optimism (although optimism can be an important tool in this persistence), it's about maintaining all that is good in the universe (again at least in your own life and loved ones, if it comes to that).

We may go (indeed we will go eventually), but let us go living, and fighting, for what's worth living and fighting for; hollow ones (worshippers of gods or capitals, nihilists and ignoramus) be damned.

Be safe, friend. And Don't you dare go hollow :)

This aligns with my understanding. I applaud every experiment in this space. We just don't seem to know enough about ourselves for folks to speak as confidently about these terms and their impacts as we do.

As I'm raising my kid I'm amazed at how important just keeping her curious and oriented towards the unknown is. Just teaching her how to manage her own emotions and external frustrations. Even at a very young age I see parents conditioning their male children to physically _push_ through problems and frustrations but the girls are so often taught to communicate and understand their feelings _before_ acting. This then seems to really influence the types of activities they are introduced to and ultimately excel at.

If I'm being honest with myself when my emotional intelligence finally caught in my 30s it was a bit embarrassing. I just didn't have a good skill set for dealing with frustrations which weren't physical.

They provide software that you install to configure your device. I haven't used it personally (my Neo 5 is being delivered), but they've done a pretty good job of making it easy.

The biggest problems are:

- limited selection of sites that support U2F
- U2F is off by default in Firefox (it's a little buggy apparently)
- somewhat expensive ($45 for Yubikey Neo)

Those are getting better, and I think the Yubikey can be used OOTB (you just enable it on an existing login to prove you own it). I'll be regenerating keys, but most users probably won't bother.
Hello HN! RemoteHabits is a small site I launched here on HN a few months ago to figure out the best ways to work remotely.

I noticed when I started remote work, I struggled with a lot of basic things like habits, disciplines, routines, finding community, etc...

I wanted to learn from other people that had already done it, without prescriptive advice like "the 10 things you MUST do with remote work"—so landed on remote interviews.

We aim to release a new interview every Monday, and are always looking for interesting remote workers to interview. If you're interested head over to https://remotehabits.com/interview-me/
That depends. Microsoft was evil under Gates, but they could also be competent. Under Ballmer, they were evil, but more incompetent. Under Nadella, they are less evil, but still incompetent. If Gates could help with the competence, but ease up on the evil, that would be good.
