Can't speak for the whole of it, but we travelled from Dushanbe to Khorog and then onwards to Wakhan valley and later turned left into the mountains and away from Afganistan to do a 5 day trek in the mountains. Few hundred of those kilometers are on the border with Afganistan. This was in 2015.

Situations obviously change and cannot say how it is now, but as far as I can tell it is similar to then. Cross-border attacks and kidnappings were rare and we neither had an armed escort nor did we want one.

On trip I worried a bit about road safety (still, not nearly as much as in Nepal) and more about food poisoning (stay long enough and you'll experience it :P), but not really about other kind of threats.

People were generally kind and helpful. We did have local guides to help us.

Would love to return again some day.
It is kind of funny when I make my programmer friends count parenthesis in their code vs my Clojure.
Not necessarily. They might die of other causes first.

There are several things in this discussion that make not much sense to me (a non-Norwegian):

* How would a divorce court refer to a (confidential) medical diagnosis? In some countries, at least, even a criminal court cannot easily access such things.

* Why would the law refer to a diagnosis of a particular disease (when the patient might still be healthy) rather than refer to actual cognitive impairment?

* What's the hurry? Can't you get a divorce fairly quickly just by moving out and filling in some forms?

* One of the major legal implications of divorce is that you don't automatically inherit or get insurance pay-outs. Not the most obvious thing to want when your spouse has a terminal illness, though in some cases you know there's no money involved. Even if you're named in the will there may be bad tax implications if you're not married to the person you're inheriting from.

* Someone mentioned children, but divorce doesn't have to relate directly to children: courts have to deal with the children of unmarried couples, and they have to deal with the children of couples that are separated but still married, so I'd expect a court to worry about the relationships and the welfare of the children and not to care very much whether the parents/guardians are officially married or not.

I would guess that these are all areas of law in which there are a lot of differences between jurisdictions.
I think the correlation between money and skin is also partly due to factors like diet and lifestyle. The more money you have the more you can afford to eat healthier foods, keep a regular sleep schedule, spend time on regular exercise, etc, which I feel are all components of good skin.
I believe Steam has both editions. There are certainly different store entries for "Doom 3" and "Doom 3: BFG Edition".
Hi, thanks for asking!

It is a bit similar to z, I actually looked a bit at autojump (https://github.com/wting/autojump) before working on goto, which is quite similar to z. Z keeps track of where you have been and guesses where you want to go (I haven't tried it, but it probably is good). Goto works more like bookmarking where you can bookmark a single location and then later jump to it. I guess I would say goto and z solve the same problem but goto doesn't guess where you want to go, instead you have to enter the folders you want to use manually.

The reason I developed goto was to use profiles. Sometimes I want a certain set of locations to jump (and autocomplete) to. And other times I want a different set of locations to jump to. Profiles in goto solve this by allowing you to switch between them.
When companies lobby for this, and come to "own" the respective governing bodies, people not only have the right but are being eminently practical in taking their concerns directly to those companies.

Not sure its true of this one, but some groundstation networks use a bent pipe model, where the radio at the groundstation is doing a bare minimum and then forwarding the data to a compute center located elsewhere. This gives you all the latency on the ground of getting from the physical groundstation site to another location, which could be quite far away, even opposite side of the globe if all the compute is in the same place.

Edit: I see elsewhere in the thread that the ISS is using IP telephony over their geosynchronous satellite link. There's your latency.
I suppose if you define "conscious" in that way-- "this atom/electron/whatever has the possibility to be part of a system that thinks/reasons/feels/perceives"-- then yeah, panpsychism is vacuously true. But that's a wild abuse of the word "conscious" that is nothing like the its understood meaning: if nothing is not conscious, then the word is meaningless. When we try to define consciousness, we're obviously looking for the "thing" which we have but rocks and water molecules plainly don't. If you don't want "consciousnesses" to be the word for that thing, fine, but serious people are just going to ignore you, invent a new word for the thing, and carry on the original search.

And when I talk to panpsychists, I get the distinct sense that they know this and they're learning on it, and by doing so they're motte-and-baileying everyone else. They start out by saying that "electrons have consciousness", with the unspoken implication that consciousness means the popularly-understood ability to reason and plan and have subjective experience, even if they won't say so. And then when someone scientifically-minded comes along and points out that that's absurd, they retreat to a new definition of consciousness that is true but pointless. We're trying to really solve the hard problem here, not handwave it away and declare victory.
> In the UK (where I learnt to drive) you can take the test on either transmission, but if you take it in an automatic then that's all you can drive, whereas if you pass the test in a manual you're qualified for both.

That's totally fine and totally fair. Manual cars do take additional skill to operate. My argument is that those skills don't make you a better driver overall. If you were to put a manual and automatic driver in an automatic car, the manual driver won't necessarily be the better driver by virtue of their being able to shift gears.

Strongly disagree. Wittgenstein clears the way for traditional philosophy topics (ethics, aesthetics, etc.) to be taken seriously.

'Engineer types' may react to ethical discussions by pointing out that you can't define right and wrong, and may then wrongly conclude that they don't exist. But Wittgenstein shows that this is an isolated demand for rigor.
Maybe you should make an article on it. The article diagrams clearly shows a blind spot for lane splitting motorcycles just like every other article on the subject including the youtube videos showing proper alignment mirrors.

>If you're looking for more feedback, I would suggest that you read. Read orders of magnitude more than you write, in fact, no matter how much you write. No matter how old or how experienced you are, philosophy is a party that has been going on for thousands of years and you have only just arrived. There is always more to read, and for any novel idea or theory you have that is keeping you up at night pondering it, there is almost certainly someone whose entire life's work was dedicated to the exploration of that one idea.

Whenever I am not working, spending time with my wife, or writing, I am reading or listening to books or podcasts on philosophy, thinking, history, etc. Great recommendation.

Please point me to some reading about exactly what atrocities they warned of. I'd love to read more. I never claim any ideas are new, as I don't really believe that to be possible. Rather, there are no new ideas under the sun. This points at a more deeply ceded philosophy that we won't get to in this conversation.

As I understand it her point it that what we take to be fundamental particles have certain properties - charge, spin, etc - and no others. If they had other properties, this would lead to measurably different outcomes in collision experiments for quantum-mechanical reasons (not because of any 'free will' on the part of the particles, as I believe some other commenters have interpreted it).

If these few numbers really are all the information that an electron (for instance) contains, then where is the informational content of consciousness located, assuming that panpsychism claims that electrons possess a certain small amount of consciousness? This is how I interpreted her sentence on consciousness implying the ability to change; not as meaning the ability to decide, but as meaning the ability to carry extra information by being in different states. I think this seems like a reasonable objection and I'm interested in how panpsychists might respond.

I think you are misunderstanding what Prettier does - Prettier is more in line with gofmt as it is a formatter not a linter. Prettier parses the JS code into an abstract syntax tree and then outputs that AST back into code using a defined set of rules, so you end up with one unified style. Prettier intentionally doesn't give you many configuration options for this style, with the goal of eliminating the discussion about which style to use.

If you are using Prettier, you can use the Prettier config with eslint or tslint, which fully disables the style rules for those two linters and lets them focus solely on linting for errors and structural issues.

How about we change state property tax law so that anyone can automatically get their property taxes converted to liens? With penalties for people who can afford to pay, and no penalties for those who cannot. Coupled with basing taxes on something like actual market value, obviously.

Then absolutely nobody will ever be thrown out of their home because of owing taxes, and there's still enough property tax income to pay for services. Everybody wins and grandma with the multi-million-dollar ancestral pile in SF can stay!

I'm honestly not seeing any significant downside to an approach like this. Do you?
Likely because they've found the tech attractive to buyers compared to "hey, we have another mirror on this mirror" - and that they can pad their dealer network's income stream from the all-too-common side mirror repair/replacement.

But, yes. From a practical standpoint - it's utterly bizzare to me as well!

“You'd need a way to run all tests in all repos reflecting a new change.”

You really shouldn’t have to run every test on every product. Or really any other repos. Use semantic versioning, pin your dependencies, don’t make breaking changes on patch or minor versions.
This is how you end up thinking you don't have blindspots and end up hitting someone/something. Blind spots need to be checked by turning your head unless you have 4 inch round fisheye mirrors that would fit equally well on a dumptruck or semi-truck. Those little tiny spot mirrors on consumer cars? Those are 4/5 times complete garbage and don't give nearly enough vision. If someone walks behind your car, at no point in time should they disappear without moving your head even for a fraction of a second.
Companies, however, do take full advantage of the infrastructure built by the government using tax dollars, both directly and indirectly.

For example, Google takes advantage of government contracts and grants, paid for by taxes. They also take advantage of the highway, city, water, power, education, housing, copyright and trademark laws, unemployment insurance, and legal (that is, the court system) infrastructure largely built and paid for (directly, by grants, or subsidies) using taxes.

I am a former customer support agent and QA tester turned developer. I learned to code on the fly due to team needs and grew into a junior full stack role. I'm looking for a team willing to invest in a growing developer who has proven to be a quick learner. I may lack formal training, but I more than make up for it in my eagerness to learn and desire to become a better developer every day.
Agree completely. The true power of WebAssembly will be realized when it gets completely free from the Browser.
>We're all people of the earth who do not need inherit value to live with some imaginary line on the ground.

I'm not agreeing with the GP, but the world simply doesn't work that way. Travel across the "imaginary lines" you speak of are controlled via military might, so perhaps they're not just "imaginary". See how well you fare attempting to run across the NK/SK border.
Like I said, all I wanted is a single connector for me to standardize on. It exists now, and I can (and did) so standardize - and it did make my life easier.
I think you're in the minority with that view of GDPR being well-implemented judging by previous threads, and secondly that website (news org) is really is for/about a specific city and it's not really relevant if they are required to block some foreigners halfway across the world because of their foreign laws.

" it will have come as no surprise when Romanian authorities attempted to use the GDPR’s wide powers to threaten journalists investigating corruption in the country. "

I'm surprised Lua isn't in this list. It is excessively tiny both in its implementation and its runtime, and I have used it in multiple projects often just by throwing its whole source code right in. It's also very minimalist in spirit, allowing you to turn off every single built-in function, so that you can use it as a sort of turing-complete alternative to JSON as a configuration language. Very cool little language.
That describes the mechanism, not the rational.
Definitely in agreement with you, the parent analogy seems to work well. There are indeed people who just buy a Kojima or Kamiya (Resident Evil 2, Okami, Bayonetta) game. More than a few games that I probably would have ignored if it wasn't for their names. Luckily, none of their games have disappointed me so far (note: haven't played MGS V yet).
I might be biased as a programmer but I'm also guessing you've never worked on a video game and have a slightly romantized view of game development? If you have worked on games potentially you've worked on a product that had very clear separation of responsibility and where game play programmer and game designers were the same role?

Just like PMs and designers don't wholly own product direction for a web or mobile application, game designers and artists don't entirely own game feel and even if they do they are often gated or empowered by systems developed and designed by programmers. In most cases designers are also programmers ("scripters") so you can make the further argument that game system design actually is just a form of programming, even if the designers aren't always writing code in the traditional sense.
It's one of the advantages of an all-powerful government.

The project itself benefits from labor+scale. They are able to scale manufacturing by declaring the size and scope of the project. Similar to what the US did with road-construction... hundreds of contractors appeared to manage interstate projects as it was a well-known, decades long effort.

The other factor is that the political environment in China allows for cheap, low friction seizure of land and homes.

The US is capable of doing the same thing -- we did it for 50 years to build the interstate system. What is missing today is the will at the Federal level to invest billions. States lack the ability to borrow/print sufficient funds to build like this at scale.
The thing i was thinking of is a rival frog, _Xenopus laevis_. That has been a classic model organism for research since the 1930s, and so ideally you would use that. But it's tetraploid - four copies of each chromosome. So are other related species of frog which are similarly useful. But not _X. tropicalis_ - that is basically "the Xenopus you can do genetics with!".

Zebrafish are diploid (i think), but their genome underwent a duplication during evolution, so they have two copies of each gene on each chromosome (more or less), which makes them hard to do genetics on in the same way as being tetraploid does.
I disagree. But I understand your view. The thing is I don't want the game running IN the browser. I want it running standalone, but being web enabled and having the facilites it provides.
> we increase the sensibility of anxiety making abstract things like not entering University, losing a job or a partner or just being humiliated while giving a speech or rejection, as "live threatening", causing procastination.

Yes and no. We are social creatures. Being rejected or not recognized by our peers used to be life threatening and we are still wired that way. In some ways it is still life threatening.
> This method requires you to also lean into the mirror to see more towards the side of the car.

You don't need to move your head at all to see a car at any point while it is coming up behind you and passing you: that's the whole point of adjusting your mirrors the way the article describes.

As the article notes, you should still turn your head before making a maneuver like changing lanes. But because your mirrors are giving you more coverage, the head turning doesn't need to be as extreme.
