Maybe someday that will be true, perhaps if/when we crack human uploading, but right now meatspace is where your hardware lives and (for the large majority of people) where you need to work to support that hardware, and that's not likely to change before today's kids become adults.
Of course. Part of teaching is allowing them to struggle with the problem. Show them how, do it together, let them do it and help, let them do it with encouragement, finally let them do it alone. In the last two steps you must allow them to struggle and make their own mistakes.

By the time a kid knows the meaning of the word boredom, they know plenty of methods to cure it. They just need to be allowed to struggle with the problem and solve it themselves.
While I agree with you in principle, there are flaws with what you are saying in my opinion.

We can't wait for a generation to have issues before we start attempting to fix big issues- yes they may be perceived and not present, but we can only do the best we can do, there are good reasons to think it is not healthy to never feel boredom, based on our own intuitive understanding of people so we make choices the best we can.

It might be the wrong choice, but it's still our best one.

Disciplined experiments would only bear out after 15 years or more so it's a bit late to wait for that. We do what we can and refine our thoughts and ideas until we do have the data, because this is an active "problem" that will have data whether we like it or not, so do the best we can now and we'll find out if we were right later.

> If I could do it again, I would have strictly separated the command and event ontologies,

Your use of "I" instead of "we" is interesting here.

I find that when there is a separation of two two things that naively look like they can be collapsed into one things (e.g. because all the simple cases have 1-1 mappings) then someone will either collapse the two -- or (more likely) force you to collapse them by building in an assumption about the 1-1 mapping.

Your beautiful separation then becomes useless. Do you have experience about how to set up teams that don't do this?
> Did the event happen yet? Did it succeed?

Events have already happened when you see them in the event log. It's happened, it succeeded.

> I didn't like having an event ledger say "comment created," where my application is then meant to consume this, handle validation, potentially fail on the db operation, etc.

You don't validate the past, you just accept it. Failing on the dB operation means your application is in error - if it's a transient error, retry with whatever backoff strategy you have. If it's a permanent error, you have a serious mistake somewhere in your code.

In your example, I believe you've broken one event into two parts. The second part essentially only says "the command was accepted." The first part says why there was a change made.

The first event is essentially "a user submitted a request to create a comment." The second event is essentially "a user's request resulted in a database change." The second event is not semantically interesting without the request's information, and the first event is of little interest outside of processing the request. Your application receives the _command_ to post a comment, validates the command, and records the outcome as an event.

A complete system would record errors as events as well as successes. This might seem very noisy, but down the line you might need to answer questions like "was this user doing lots of failed comments leading up to their successful hack of our system?" Or "how many comments are failing because the spam filter rejected them?" And you can't answer those if you haven't recorded the error outcome.

(And there's no harm in logging commands separately, too, but I'd log them explicitly as _commands_, not events. Commands are imperative tense, they're an order or request for the system to take some action. Events are past tense, they're what the system actually did.)
I don't know the specifics in California but property rights in water are complex, especially in the Western U.S. A mere change in regulations, even under a state constitution, might constitute a regulatory taking (i.e. a taking of property requiring just compensation under the 5th Amendment).

Because the issues are so complex, the legal terrain so unclear, and the consequences of an adverse court ruling so substantial, not to mention the politics, legislators are reticent to impose such strong measures.
That's a pain in the ass, but it's not censorship.
The only real command I know and use often is gg=G to fix indentation. It's a lot more reliable than Atom or Sublime's reindent, and this is coming from an Atom apologist.
How do you handle variable length input without something like an RNN? Even transformers use RNN structures right.

I suppose convolutions could technically handle variable length inputs (just slide the window of weights over different length inputs) but I don't think tensorflow or pytorch supports this
Why is there such a visceral hatred for non-GPL software? Seems that every time the GPL vs. BSD (or equivalent) issue comes up there is much anger about companies doing proprietary work on top of FreeBSD. I'm curious about the opposite: code taken from BSD (or equivalent) projects and put into GPL code bases and then extended such that those improvements cannot be ported back to the BSD source. GPL proponents say this never happens but in multiple forums I've heard from folks who have had their permissive-licensed projects killed because their work was effectively GPLed and "extended" against their will.

To me this boils down to how you see humanity: if you think we're essentially good and willing to help each other, permissive licensing makes more sense. If you think morality has to be enforced by contract because we cannot trust one another then GPL is the only choice. I chose permissive licensing because I don't see my fellow humans as essentially evil.
> Science as a methodology is antithetical to religious methodology.

“Religious methodology” varies by religion and, in some cases, varies by individuals within a religion. In a number of those religious variations, scientific methodology is an acceptable (or even the preferred) methodology for some (or even all) of the scope to which it can apply on its own terms.
If young people are robbing cars and underage drinking when they are bored, I would think the problem there is more about peer-pressure, upbringing and lack of purpose/belonging rather than boredom.

If someone is only stopped from making poor decisions due to escapism, there is an underlying issue that needs to be fixed with something deeper than not letting them get bored.

While on the (off-) topic of magneto-optical drives, do you remember how every cyberpunk film of the 1990s seemed to feature (MO) MiniDiscs as ‘future’ storage? I remember them appearing in some form or another in Strange Days, Johnny Mnemonic, and The Matrix (amongst others). Lawnmower Man featured CD drives in external caddies, a type of drive system that virtually disappeared with the advent of ‘2x” CD-ROM drives starting sometime in 1992 or 1993.

My first USB ‘thumbrive’ was a 16MB IBM-branded unit I received as an amazing gift in December 2001, when the world was still in shock over the 9/11 attacks.

A friend’s work took moved to “hotelling” recently, where they removed designated personal seating in the open office so everyone has to pack up at the end of the day and spots are first-come first-serve.

> it seems very counter-intuitive to the way we experience conscientious as a unitary, embodied being

I don't see how it's counter-intuitive to anyone who is aware of various brain functions, for example. It's abundantly clear by now that it's not a unitary thing, but a set of traits.

I think the reason why people keep coming up with those "it's not a real thing" retorts is the same reason why (other) people reject the notion that some animals might be sapient enough for us to care about. We like being uniquely sapient, and that's just impossible with any sort of rational - i.e. mysticism-free - approach to intelligence and self-awareness and all that stuff.

People come to your city to do business there. If a lot of people do business in your city, a lot of people will be coming in and out of town every day.

Complaining that the people who come to your city to do business (spend their money) are poluting a bit with their cars while they are there, and the cost of that pollution is unfairly borne by city dwellers I think is bizarre, because the benefits of those people coming into the city and spending all that money (which generates jobs and tax revenue, etc.) accrues to the city.

The city is already being paid a very hefty return on the cost of cleaning up the pollution of people traveling into the city every day. The city would not want to discourage people from making the trip!

Maybe more succinctly, the polluter is already paying the city more than enough to cover the cost of cleaning up the car pollution, by nature of the money they are spending while they are in the city.
The 1.5 bilion people number seems fishy to me, because that's slightly larger than the total population of China.

The author is biased. There are no parallels between Science and religion. Science solely relies on power of experimentation, questioning and hypothesis validation whereas religion relies on eradication of questioning. Fun fact, if tomorrow Science discovers that god mentioned in one particular religion exists, scientists would accept that because of the underlying methods and tools of science used to prove the existence, but you know who wouldn't accept the existence of this discovered god? Religious people of other religions. Religion is nothing but falsehood.

Which can't be right, as China 'only' has a population of 1.4 billion, of which a significant portion will probably not travel since most of their family is local.

The problem with that at present is our only way to detect neutrinos is by using loads of mass, usually ice, water, or xenon. It’s going to be tough to launch a glacier or a vast tank of xenon to make up the body of a detector. We’d need some novel form of detection that isn’t dependent on the occasional reaction of a neutrino as it passes theough a huge body of something. Sadly, that isn’t on the horizon and would ironically require a better understanding of neutrino interactions before it could be done, if it could be done.
there is always the issue of exponentially growth in population and shrinking natural resources like land, water and obviously climate change that are independent of economic systems.
My two cents...

Unless you're a marketing wunderkind, you should either keep your marketing costs at zero or do something like a kickstarter project.

Keeping your marketing costs at zero just means you don't really do any marketing, but rather go out and sell your game to anyone who will buy it. Sell it to family, relatives, friends, community groups in your area, people at boardgame meetups, coffeehouses that have boardgames for patrons to play, etc. etc. Sell it for $5 or $3 or whatever. The point is: find at least someone to buy (with real money) your game. Then, move from there and iterate or polish-up or whatever.

A kickstarter project is self-explanatory.

----

Individuals who design and build something to sell can often be stuck in a sort of launch limbo because they're either too afraid to try and sell something or feel like they lack the knowledge to sell something.

I know a technical founder who read introductory sales books before finding his first batch of customers. Should you read sales books? Maybe. If you do, make sure you blitz-read them for the basics and then get out and try selling your game.

Selling online or offline ultimately comes down to the same thing when you are starting out: try, fail, learn, and repeat until you get your first sale.

The only other advice I can give is that a "yes" or "no" should be music to your ears. A "maybe" should frustrate you. You should hate hearing "maybe". Maybe-land is the worst place to be when trying to sell something.

How do you do that in a large scale distributed system with eventual consistency, without incurring an insane synchronization time penalty?

You are comparing the abstract ideal of science with the concrete adherents of religion. Every scientist has beliefs that aren't supported by or are contradicted by evidence, so I'm sure there would be many science followers, both atheist and religious who would refuse to believe in the deity discovered in your scenario.
If it is true that that is "generally accepted", it's not for any reason based in the law.

Why should science learn from religion [0] or religion learn from science? They serve two different purposes.

"Science" (ultimately the scientific method) concerns itself with empiricism, and exploration of outcomes without regard to their inherent meanings and purposes. This is GOOD.

Religion / Ideology (whether with a deity or not) is teleological and imparts purpose and meaning to empirical observations as well as things that are beyond empiricism. This is also GOOD.

Both should probably work together. But they should probably remain separate concepts.

[0] "Religion" in my mind includes all teleological ideologies; things like 'capitalism', 'Marxism', 'Nazism', 'Baathism', 'emacism', etc.
