What % kind of hit do you think you take? I think live streaming the development process might be a really cool way to build a community around a developer-focused tool I might build. Imagine if DHH had streamed the process of creating Rails before it was Rails.

We humans draw this boundary all the time. We do it based on an entity's I/O behavior, and in particular, the complexity of interactions that it is possible to have with it.

Agency is not a binary quantity. A normal adult human is an agent, and a blastocyst is not, but there is no bright line where agency is bestowed. It happens gradually.

None of this is a deep mystery. The only thing that is mysterious is how the transition happens. But panpsychism is just absurd.

Just out of curiosity, why did you pick "red color" as your canonical example of subjective experience? The reason I ask is that it seems to pop up much more often than random chance would predict.

You could become a conscientious objector, and it’s even possible to get out of the military this way (my father did).

Unfortunately, the Selective Service does not recognize conscientious objectors when there is not a draft so it’s hard to get that status now.
>WTF? When has that ever been important?

People who don't understand why this is important have a view of history that doesn't go back beyond the 20th century.
Ooooor, maybe you like to think about what's actually going on when you write code?

I certainly basically mentally execute code to some extent as I write it. Is there a way to program that doesn't do something like that?
> And when you have a setup with Wireshark that works why update it? I am dubious that Wireshark can be an attack vector so security updates won’t be useful.

Ignoring feature enhancements and bug fixes for a moment, do you really think it improbable that there are security issues in a piece of software whose entire job is to sit on the network and record everything that it sees and then translate and interpret it?
US, 2012.
Agreed. Expanding the military draft to include women came up in 2016 as well. In 2016 Republican representative Duncan Hunter introduced an amendment to include women in the draft. Unfortunately his amendment was not a good faith attempt to address equal responsibility. He proposed the amendment as a joke, thinking that the left would never vote for it, and therefore demonstrating that the talk of "gender equality" is all hypocrisy.

It turned out that the amendment actually had broad support among Republican leaders and women in both parties. However, it was fiercely opposed by conservative law makers. Hunter ended up voting against his own proposal (he is a vocal opponent of women serving in combat). The amendment ended up being stripped from the final bill in a procedural move.

It seems that there is a lot of support for including women in the draft both on the Democrat and Republican side. It's disappointing that in 2016, instead of having a genuine conversation about equal responsibility, the amendment was proposed to mock the idea of women being drafted, and to make the idea of gender equality seem hypocritical.

Here are some relevant news articles on the topic from 2016:

I don’t disagree with the problems you describe, but I don’t think panpsychism explains any of these problems either. It’s a non-answer, and functionally equivalent to saying nothing about consciousness. The “evolutionary illusion” you describe is precisely what we’re trying to understand: the brain is doing an extraordinary magic trick and no one knows how.
For AWS, you just need to use AMI for OpenVPN and it is extreme easy to setup in a few minutes.
Exactly. The sand on the beach and a CPU are made of the same stuff too, but arguing that therefore beach sand can compute is obviously absurd. The consciousness of all matter is just as obviously absurd.

Well, it is called WiPhone...

There is a pretty clear issue with people getting grumpy once they learn it's not a bleeding edge smartphone. I don't know how to solve it. Open to suggestions, but I think calling it a phone is perfectly reasonable and doesn't imply it's a smartphone. Just because all the big phone makers have sold us the idea that LTE and an OS you can play games on is absolutely essential doesn't mean this isn't a phone.
Seems high to me as well, but some googling suggests that that's in the mid- to upper-range of current e-bike pricing, with entry level being around the $1,000 mark.
Small aside about the “small farmers” thing, some of my SOs extended family are farmers. they used to be handling pigs, but for reasons ended up transitioning to growing mushrooms, and the end result for them has been better all around. They also stopped growing rice cuz it’s cheaper to just buy what they need and focus on other food

I bet that most staple foods are already under huge systems and small farmers already can’t compete in that space if only for scale. Ultimately if we end up making everything from corn anyways small farmers won’t have success but that’s the same in every industry (yay for late stage capitalism)
>> When has that ever been important?

Most recently, after WW2. 20+ million Soviet people died in the war, mostly able bodied men. If it were mostly women, that'd permanently decimate their population. I imagine any kind of mass casualty-WW3 scenario would be only worse. Weapons are a lot more deadly now than they've ever been. For the time being the most devastating varieties are constrained by peace-time treaties and such, but if a war of attrition were to break out, it'd all be back on the table in no time at all.

And there's no such thing as "volunteering" when dealing with meat grinders like WW1 or WW2. Easily 90% of people who go to war do so very much against their will. A good number of soldiers are executed at the front lines for "cowardice". Imagine yourself having to get out of the trench during a Verdun or Stalingrad style slaughter. You (and I) would need some _serious_ motivation to do so, and definitely wouldn't "volunteer" for any such thing.
Pop OS is basically Ubuntu with some additional theming and tweaks to improve the desktop experience and automatically install the various Sytem76 drivers.

I think they decided to create their own distro because they were wary that Canonical was going to be more focused on the server space when they decided to shutdown Unity and switch to Gnome for their desktop. System76 decided that they wanted to step up and take a little bit more of an active role in building a desktop experience.

In reality there is very little difference from Ubuntu and so you can install any Ubuntu packages or follow any Ubuntu based how-to.

There is no comparison for ISP with TOS saying they can and will sell your data and VPN company which explicitly advertises privacy.

weight and size aside, Thinkpad W530 is still a good choice:

This might sound dumb. But, I use ProtonVPN because Mozilla partnered with them and I place trust in Mozilla’s ability to make a more informed choice than I can make — largely due to their access to information and on hand knowledge and expertise.

I've paid that much for an ebike, but it's a high-end machine that will go 25 MPH and lasts forever if maintained properly. I expect GM to get creamed in the market here, this bike looks very cheap for that price range. (You can buy ebikes that cost $10,000, if you have infinite money there's always someone who will take it.)

This is the silly thing. There is no objective 'works' or 'doesn't work' that applies to 'the average user' because there are so many use cases and configurations.

And it doesn't matter. For a large bunch of people Windows has been crap for its whole existence, but it works with X, or is the only thing compatible with Y, or because no one demonstrated anything better. I.e. exactly how the iPhone got such traction (also with the marketing).

Linux is [i]just as good[/i] as Windows and vice-versa, where the use case is compatible...
Do you know what the sash is for?
New Zealand hasn't had conscription in 50 years and it's also a model society, as is Canada.

Australia is less of a model society, and Japan is culturally homogenous (so maybe you could argue its the homogeneity that begets unity), but neither are bad places to live and neither have conscription.

Europe survived two of the largest, deadliest wars in history within living memory, so of course they recently had conscription and were rightly worried about letting it go.

However, the argument that conscription begets unity is weak and deeply flawed, as is proved by these diverse island societies and Canada, and those are off the top of my head, there are many more proofs.

America, the most powerful hyperpower in the history of mankind... doesn't need mandatory peacetime conscription for any remotely conceivable military reason.

So, if we've shown that we don't need it for either reason, just "some guy's opinion", then I think this argument is resolved.

Well, there was that whole Vietnam War thing going on. That might have had something to do with it. The Vietnam War was much worse for us than Iraq+Afghanistan combined. Ten times worse. We lost 60,000 and had 300,000 wounded in Vietnam. In Afghanistan, we lost 2,419 and had 19,950 wounded. In Iraq, we had 4,496 and 32,252 wounded.

"Accepting money isn't "free", and usually incurs a non-trivial overhead."

Is that really true? What if I say I only accept checks, or certified checks even.

Wouldn't depositing such checks be trivial?

Yes, you do have to pay taxes on the money (which in countries other than the United States can be very simple), but apart from that the other things you list such as setting up a non-profit, accepting international currencies, or dealing with corporations like Paypal are all optional.
I'm not moving the goalposts. OP literally said "In reality we all work too much. 8 hours a day is extreme, we should strive for 2-4 hours."

Which is completely unworkable for most jobs. Won't work in retail, manufacturing, medical profession, legal, retail, etc. If you happen to have a lifestyle job where you can have a high discretion over how your time is spent, that's great...happy for you. But denying the realities of other professions just underscores the ignorance of this whole thread.
I see. Thank you. I am sure for some that $15K is an investment.
I agree, but in this case the automatic systems to avoid human error were the primary systems, and the humans knew they were malfunctioning before takeoff, and yet failed to double check for human error and flew the flight despite it being illegal to do so with the automated system malfunctioning. So yes you want to design your system to limit the impact of human error, but the human pilots also bear a very large responsibility too. Not as much as the airline for sure, but I could see why the initial verdict would lean toward negligence from the sheer number of lapses in judgement that were made.
If you're in the States, you probably are better off trusting reputable VPN provider than your local ISP. Especially because your communications are already centralized on that point and there's a long history of them being less than trustworthy.
VoIP can be iffy with home ISPs. I have it and the quality varies from excellent to unusably bad. I assume it's due to inconsistent latency.
Like Fourier analysis, every component sine wave is conscious, and every possible superposition of sine waves is also conscious. It's turtles all the way down.

What does it mean for an atom, an electron, a sine wave to be conscious? What can it perceive, consider, how can it act? But those are awarenesss, reason, agency... distinct from "consciousness".

Just because an entity cannot assert itself, does not mean it is not conscious.
Norway and Israel have female conscription. Are you really trying to say that those countries are full of hipster cafes and only populated by naive people?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription#Drafting_of_women

> As of 2013, countries that were actively drafting women into military service included Bolivia,[58] Chad,[59] Eritrea,[60][61][62] Israel,[60][61][63] Mozambique[64] and North Korea.[65] Israel has universal female conscription ...

> After a law passed in March 2003, Tunisia became the first Arab country to universally conscript women.

> In 2015 Norway introduced female conscription, making it the first NATO member and first European country to have a legally compulsory national service for both men and women
Was there an actual idea in there?

No, it hasn't. No leaked document says that.

Any link to the actual study? Potential pitfalls of this kind of study:

- is the historical data available?

- is the decrease significant?

- is the sample size sufficient?

- is the sampling method reliable? (and conducted in the same conditions as the previous data points?)

- is there a difference between cultivated fields and uncultivated fields?

- is there any correlation between cultivation types and worm presence (not just usage of pesticides, but also types of cultures?)

- are there differences in soil properties (minerals, etc...)

etc...

I'd really like to have reporters link to the actual paper, or even better, datasets, in this time and age.
You know, I actually agree somewhat. I almost noted that I was having trouble finding more reliable sources, particularly concerning vegetarianism and veganism in the USA, but thought that would have completely torpedoed my argument. ;)

More seriously: the "environmental" claim rang hollow to me, so I set out in search of some facts, and I think what I found supports that intuition, but the burden of proof is not really mine. (I will retract my "it's animal ethics yo" statement—clearly a reach.)

> Mobile OSs got this right: on a personal device, the permissions model should be applied to the applications.

I cannot agree. If I want to run another browser instance, I cannot do that on a mobile system. Maybe it would possible to do with some support from browser's developers but with multiuser system I need no support from developers, I can create new user and run another browser that would believe that it is the only browser instance running.

It is not just browsers. I can easily experiment with program configs, for example. Something doesn't work, I want to check is it due to some application configs or it's installed plugins. All I need is to create one more user and to start program instance from that user.

Android relies on SELinux, and SELinux allows much more than old user system, but SELinux is much bigger headache when you are trying to use it in a way that was not supposed by Google. So in reality SELinux on Android allow me to do nothing, I even cannot run app that requires access to a contact list without allowing it to access a contact list. It would be nice to create one more user on Android with empty contact list and to run this program from that user. Moreover I'd like to create user with faked contact list, faked browser history, with faked all the private information, and to run most of the apps from that user.

The same thing is happening today, People without the means have children that may grow up unwanted at a disadvantage, and those who do have the means, have children that they pass those advantages to. There is a reason why Smith and Miller are common surnames, because they had the means to survive and have a source of income and they passed those on. Feudal times are not an unreasonable outcome.

I was surprised when I saw the newest Vega firmwares show up in my /lib/firmware/amdgpu/ with a kernel update only 6 days after the release of the last AMD GPU -- and on Manjaro, where updates are supposedly delayed a little. AMD touted "day one Linux support", which I don't know if they fulfilled, but they're certainly more committed to Linux than Nvidia.

Unfortunately, Nvidia's so dominant (and rightly-so from a price-per-performance unit standpoint).

Also, though: would someone on Ubuntu or a point release distro (which is the majority of Linux end users) have these new firmwares, ever, until they reinstalled to the next OS version? Since hardware driver support seems so tied to the kernel version, I would think not unless they manually updated the kernel (which, not only is that scary on a distro meant to run with a specific kernel but it's something they have to go out of their way to do), which also means they'd miss out on DE improvements and other hardware/protocol support by as much as a year or more, depending on their upgrade cadence. TL;DR: rolling release provides the best Windows-like experience, and an Arch-based distro that emphasizes usability and mitigation of updates that break the system is what best fills that niche, so Manjaro master race.
