I thought this experiment was explained just as well by decoherence? Under the many world interpretation, there's no instant communication, or hidden variable, we just happen to learn in which world we are by performing the measurement.

The laws of physics are still deterministic as far as I can tell.
A world in which data monopolies and platform companies selectively withdraw much smaller companies' access to their services based on whether they wish those companies to fail or not probably isn't one which optimally promotes innovation and economic growth though.

No, but it will unlock from just (apparent) proximity which allows the thief enter the vehicle where they are then able to push the "Start" button. Again, the car will think the key is present and will start. At that point, the thief can stop the signal relay and the car will keep running without the key being "present".

Television is a more conservative medium than novels, generally. Star Trek always lagged slightly behind the cutting edge in terms of social commentary on tv, but also stayed pretty close to that cutting edge.

It's always tricky, introducing more progressive social ideas to a broad audience. You want to open minds without alienating them.
A small quib: filter bubbles don’t require using personal data. But they are about giving readers what they want.

In a very different context, I ran an analysis of terrorism coverage in the NY Times to measure what a geographic filter bubble looks like:

How Media Fuels Our Fear of Western Terrorism

I also ran the same analysis for all the articles over a decade by geography (and compared to population, GDP, etc):

Visualizing 10 years of International Coverage in the NY Times

While filter bubbles are more pervasive in digital media (where we can segment each user, including with personal information), they’ve also always existed.

Looking over the long arc too I am not impressed with the development of Linux.

I started using Linux in 1993 and back then it was way better than Windows. Bill Gates donated money to my uni to try to kill off the Unix culture, but the only people who would use Win NT 4 to do scientific work was the one guy who loved Windows and me, who would vnc from Windows to Linux so I didn't have to fight for one of the few machines that were running Linux so grad students could get their work done.

On single-processor systems Linux was OK up to 2.4 but 2.4 did not really work on SMP machines. I would discover the strangest kernel bugs and the more I looked at it I realized these couldn't be fixed so I'd write patches that would cause it to barrel on despite corrupted data structures and wait for 2.6 to be ready.

The problems w/ 2.4 were covered up and dismissed much like the way Microsofties will tell you that all of those Windows NT 4 crashes were the fault of your hardware.

2.6 got the RCU stuff from IBM which meant Linux actually worked right on SMP; that was a real contribution both technically and in terms of legal protection from Novell.

Since then the major itches people seem to be scratching Linux have been:

"ext4 doesn't corrupt data often enough, we need to invent a new filesystem that corrupts data more"

"xpoll and ypoll don't work right so let's add a new zpoll that will work incorrectly in a different way"

I was a Linux enthusiast back in the day, I would compile the new kernel each time it came out, Alan Cox would bitch me out for filing bug reports that gcc would segfault when I compiled the kernel on my overclocked machine.

What I've seen is that Windows had advanced by leaps and bounds since Windows 95 and Linux has been stagnant. It's a boring and reliable operating system for servers, which is a good way, but it is not an operating system driven by enthusiasts anymore.
D's compiler was never "closed source" if by that you mean "source not visible". It had a weird non-open source license for a long time, but the source has always been visible.

The weird license did use to scare me away, but that's very much a thing of the past now and now it has a standard free license.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14060846

I don't think D's features are any less exciting than Rust's, but Rust has had a lot of RESF backed by Mozilla.
> Double doesn't behave like a whole number.

I was suggesting double for your partials, not your whole numbers.

> java only has a single int type, which is 32-bit regardless of machine architecture.

I'm so confused.

You said having a "list of what width each type is" is bad because it forces the user to deal with "minutiae".

But that's exactly what Java does. int is 32 bits, short is 16, long is 64

And then you praise a type in Python that does the same thing as "double" in C. It's usually 64 bits, but it might be something else.
This is a really cool demo. For common patterns like get, contains, ends with, etc, this could be helpful in code representation without having to go into the details.

Remote vs. Local? Bootstrapped vs. Funded? Let's Fight
Actually the disturbing part is that some people are forced to pay 50k USD more per apartment while other people not (and that's in a city where they're supposedly "solving the housing bubble") and on top of that get a parking space next to their building paid by the state - where can I get that?
As a father, if I came into that money I would use it to spend all the time I could with my kids. You don't get that time back and it's really precious and easy to take for granted.

Obviously you have to be guided by your own priorities which are different from mine. But I wanted to counterbalance the idea that you should "not do anything rash." Certainly, financially this makes sense; upgrading home, cars etc could bite you by raising your cost of living.

At the same time, you no longer have to give the best 8 hours of every weekday to a company. Your time is the most precious thing you have. At a certain point you will probably want to assess -- and I'm sure you would, regardless of my comment! -- if you want to keep allocating it to an activity that from what I can tell serves primarily to generate monetary income.

Just my $.02. In a way, like everyone in this thread, I'm living vicariously by giving it so do with it what you will.
What's shady about towing away cars of those that are essentially stealing parking? Or did I assume wrong?
Don't think of yourself as having 8M, think of yourself as having 320k/yr (4% rule) with minimal work (managing the money). This will sober up some of the emotional parts.

Also, you are over the threshold to true freedom, so think carefully before doing the 'obvious' things like buying a house or two that will only, in reality, saddle you with obligations.
You are not looking at unintended consequences. By forcing people to have parking for cars - weather or not they otherwise want it - you are forcing them to use land for parking. For those who don't want parking that space could instead be used for more living space. We can estimate that in the space 5 empty parking spots use you could instead have another apartment which can house a 6th person. This increases density which actually ensures vehicles don't bog down the city.

By artificially enforcing lower density than some people desire we force some less density and less density forces people to drive thus bogging down the city in traffic - the very thing you wanted to prevent by enforcing parking minimums causes the problem.

Note that above I'm only talking about people who don't want a car. Most people are on the fence - a car is a useful tool to get around but if they could get by without it they would consider it. There are a few people who love cars who will want extra space. There are some jobs that require cars (or more likely vans/trucks), but most people are on the fence where they have a car only because it is the best solution to their current transport needs but they could live without in a different situation (they probably can't see the other situation as possible)
Its all Gonzo now.
Lower posts have shown that your math is off on this 99.9% thing you made up, so we're not going to address that.

We're talking about user base and network effect. Fortnite is your gateway to getting people to install Epic Game Store. You've already shown people will pay real human money to buy digital hats, so use those digital hats to get them to install EGS. (you just give a free skin every month if you have an EGS account. easy peasy). Now you've got a few million installs of your platform. Pretty good starting place to start selling the other games if you ask me.

Sounds like you just have a lot of problems with FTP and Pay to Win type games based on how you talk about them. That's fine, you don't need to play them, but the rest of the gaming community seems to be using them pretty regularly. Don't assume everyone else is like you.
Indeed. Perhaps also worth noting is that in actuality humans are pretty much all varying shades of brown.

Same. My dorm-mates were confounded that I was getting straight "A" grades and seemingly always sleeping.
Why though? Even in places with cheap labor (so cheap drivers), they still don’t have things like that, taxis are just cheaper.
I agree with the conclusion, but I don't think it should be done through the current antitrust framework.

Your first point and most of the others others may or may not be illegal. If they are legal, what the MPs need to do is their jobs.. make laws. But, most are not directly related to company size and/or market share.

Your second point does sound like a trust and I think you're right to link this to the WhatsApp sale.

But... Regardless of the FB/WhatsApp conclusion, that is a one-off that won't lead to much systemic change whether it's a fine or an order to de-merge.

What we need (imo) is a whole new approach to antitrust that doesn't hinge on a definition of monopoly.

Companies beyond a certain size should just be put under a different set of obligations than smaller ones. They should be assumed to have market power by merit of their size.

When it comes to gdpr and such, these need to be written differently for large companies. Basically, no more equality before the law for companies. What we get in return is rule of law.
The topic was not how to make males produce eggs.

I think the question was interesting, and calling "misogyny" (hatred of women) a question on whether a female organ would be able to work within a male body is kinda ridiculous.
You seem to define free will in a very strange way. It seems to me the words you are defining is consciousness and intelligence, and not free will?

If I predict what you will ask and record the responses on a tape perfectly timed to your future questions, and then press play and leave it playing as you are asking questions - does this tape player have a free will? It seems to learn because it answers as if it learnt.

This is our committee system working as intended. I wish it still applied to other areas of governance like local government funding, lobbying, MPs in government and so on.

Late Edit: I must add to that list admission of ministerial responsibility. The last resignation with honour, rather than for political point scoring, was Lord Carrington resigning as Foreign Secretary in 1982. Since then it's a dead concept.

BLE beacons do a crap job of detecting distance and battery life is just OK (a few months typically). BLE can obviously be used to differentiate between in-range and out-of-range which is useful for some applications but you can't really use it to measure distance more granularly.

Using analytics to restrict apps based on their popularity - if that's what Facebook did - is definitely much more anti-competitive behaviour and even more likely to hurt growth than simply being arbitrary or completely random in their decision making. But yes, a non-arbitrary policy of allowing developers access if they followed a transparent set of rules would obviously be better.
Not sure what's the controversy here. Here's a Medium post on the same idea: https://medium.com/futuresin/tumblrs-porn-ban-could-kill-it-...

We live in a world where VPN are a must if you want to have any expectation of privacy. Giving people easier access to these services is not a bad thing. Mozilla has a privacy-minded vision for the internet. Regardless if you agree with their vision, they are at least following it.

Also, if it's true that Mozilla is auditing ProtonVPN, that is a huge benefit to everyone. The biggest issue with VPNs are you're forced to trust this new company that they'll do as they say with your data (namely that they don't harvest or store any of it). To me, that's a huge thing.
What you're saying makes sense for location dependent results (e.g. searching a map of nearby places). For something like "origin of the universe" results would be very different across the world. What happens when I'm in a location I'm not usually in? Do I get the local results or the results for the place I usually reside?

I now use duckduckgo as default search engine and my experience is mixed.

The problem with google is that sometime you search for something new and then you see the bubble very clearly, which applies non only to search but also to youtube (maybe even more).

The problem with duckduckgo is that you are searching for something specific or something you saw months ago and don't remember well then google's index and tracking can be useful.

Can you tell me more about the 10th century 7 point mind training
We have it at my dayjob employer. It works out OK. The way my manager put it to me, is that "unlimited vacation" just means that "nobody is counting how many days you take". Basically, as long as your manager approves your request, you're good. And I've never had a request declined.

I don't count my off days either, but I usually take 3 weeks (all total, including company vacation days) over the Christmas Holiday season, a week (again, including vacation days) over Thanksgiving, a week over the 4th of July week, and one or two random sick days / mental health days / whatever, throughout the year.

Note that this is a big international megacorp, not a startup, so YMMV.
Well my personal case is a mid-size apartment (130m², ~1399ft²) in a building built in the end of the sixties to a newly build home around 210m²/2260ft².

Old apartment was heated by a central methane based burner, new house by a VMC with a heat pump and a two solar thermal vacuum panel + 800l heat cumulus (~28ft³/ 211 US gal / 176 UK gal), whole cost dropped around 80%, whole energy consumption drop from around 300-350w×m²/years to around 25w×m²/years...

But in medium in the whole country individual homes are newer than tall buildings mostly because they tend to be poor quality to a point that's cheap demolish and rebuild than maintain and also tall buildings are normally property of many different subjects so reach agreements on any upgrade / maintenance is far complex than individual houses and physical space and usable ground for construction around the home is normally far more present than around a tall building...

Keep attention that I always talk about mean values, not single buildings.

Another thing, I do not know in the USA but in Italy and France construction norms are less tight for airtightness in collective buildings than individual houses, airtightness often play a more prominent role than insulation thickness in term of energy cost. I do not know in big buildings how for instance a VMC (mechanically controlled ventilation with heat exchanger) can possibly work...

100ms * even a minimal 20 actions per minute = 16 minutes wasted in an 8 hour work day.

Remember, those 100ms delay gaining information which also delays every action that happens after them. So, the cost is real.

Worse, people can break 200 actions per minute for well known systems. Which makes this far worse as it’s slowing people down more as they try and get more done.
This is one of the reasons that I'm a bit wary of using extensions for handling these kinds of needs. It might be different if there were a permissions model that didn't seem to require "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit" for most useful extensions.

Every time I see an article lamenting the loss of the early internet I think that it boils down to community quality vs. scale. As communities get too large, then content and discussion will gravitate to whatever seems to get a response from the biggest group. That can easily leave things feeling bland and make efforts to start conversations feel too competitive. Smaller specialized communities that are somewhat insulated do have the chance to avoid this phenomena, though often times they fail under their own success or are too insulated to pick up new individuals. It's a hard balance to be made.

I personally miss the prevalence of technical and personal web logs of the late 90s. That's not to say that they aren't still around, there's simply more alternatives to shift through and many of them do focus on marketing themselves for visibility (which seems to take something away from the feeling of the older net IMO). A large focus on centralization certainly seems to have shifted the broader tone online, though there's still plenty of gems floating out there.
