Nice interview with Phillip Goff on CBC Ideas: https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4822151 . He reiterates B Russell's point: The least extraordinary thing we know is that we're aware of nature, and we're made of the same natural substances that make up the external world. Therefore the extraordinary claim is that there can be no consciousness outside of the body. In other words, it requires extraordinary evidence. He makes the conventional dismissive attitude sound pretty chauvanistic. It's a good interview.
Forcing anyone to go to war or to some sort of slavery (such as mandatory civil service) itself is unethical, plus I can not see any reason why the idea of being okay with sending my father, or son onto the battle field is in any way better (or worse) than doing so with my mother, or daughter.
Note that we actually got what DNSCurve was offering, in the form of DoTLS and DoH.

I don't have answers for what choices you have once you've actually joined the military.
The relevant question is how big must a draft be for that change to realistically occur?
Honestly though chicken skin is delicious. I don't know why it would bother me to have it in my meatballs.
> Perhaps it's unconstitutional, but there are biological reasons why across all cultures throughout history (as far as I'm aware) men are the ones who are sent to war.

Those conventions predate modern technology. There are obvious reasons why the Roman Legion was entirely male. (In terms of upper body strength, the bell curve for men and women is almost completely disjoint, with the top 10% of women overlapping with the bottom 10% of men.)

Those rationales apply less and less as military technology evolves. There is no obvious reason why fighter pilots should only be men, or Navy gunners, or army helicopter pilots.

> If women want to apply, then fine, but I do worry about a society whos men are willing to send their women to war.

Israel seems fine.
I read the Hololens 2 has a better pixel density of 47 pixels/degree of visual field. Not sure if I recall if the units I stated are completely correct, but I have no idea if that's enough to render good font quality at all levels of presentation.
Hunting is most likely the best option from an animal ethics standpoint. Although it doesn't scale well. But make that point to a vegan and suddenly they're vegan primarily for environmental concerns.
Female warriors in a variety of cultures fought alongside with men, or lead people in battle. Some have disguised themselves as men (such as during the US civil war), whereas others have served openly. There were certainly some bad ass women during WWII ( http://mentalfloss.com/article/30254/8-female-fighters-world... has a few examples, plus there was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyudmila_Pavlichenko the russian sniper credited with 309 kills, which makes her the 16th deadliest sniper ever).

And women serve in combat in multiple countries, and have for decades in some. The US is rather late to the party, many countries have allowed women in combat roles for decades. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_the_military_by_count...

But even in societies where women didn't themselves fight, women often provided logistical support, as well as working in factories, shipyards, an other places to produce materials for war.
Fried chicken is almost based on the idea that the skin (and enhancements thereof) is the best bit, after all...

Yep, agreed. Whenever I tried installing on old hardware I had laying around it was always very quirky.

I never claimed you took back any of your own claims. But you did misrepresent mine. Your quotes and citations do not support your argument in any way, and are therefore irrelevant.

I did not read the entire article you just posted, but it is worth noting that it misrepresents Mismeasure of Man as clinical research itself, rather than a historical and theoretical critique which it is, and holds improper standards against it (which is very funny because that's exactly what they claim Gould is guilty of!). Historical research is certainly biased, and that's okay. Historical research depends on omission as a crucial feature, otherwise how would you write a book about a focused topic? The two kinds of work have different kinds of data and follow different argumentation strategies, yet the authors of this paper expect otherwise. This is unreasonable and demonstrates a clear lack of understanding regarding what history is, and I have a hard time taking them seriously as a result.
> If you really want to see Linux on the DE, boycott NVIDIA, or write them a letter.

I was watching a video on youtube (can't find it now) about gaming on Linux, and it suggested to update the PPA and install the latest drivers. (this was after I refreshed my desktop to be Ubuntu Budgie)

So I did that, installed latest NVidia Drivers. Tried out some steam games, and went to bed. Next day I couldn't boot into the desktop, got stuck in a loop, couldn't remove the drivers and get into desktop at all. It completely bunged my computer. Apparently alot of people had similar issues.
It is. GeForce Experience will stream to your predefined YouTube or Twitch channel just by hitting ALT-F9 (or whatever you want it to be), among other programs that do similar.

My last three trips to A&W have been for the Beyond Meat burger. Like you, my palate can't really tell the difference. Like you, I don't see any need to go back to an animal burger.

There was one occasion in my life where Selective Service registration mattered. I applied for a 911 operator job for a large urban county and it was a question on one of the many stacks of application paperwork. It was on a questionnaire with others like have you ever used marijuana, have you ever lied to your parents, how many traffic tickets have you received.

Most of a year later, after a detailed background investigation that included questioning old friends and people in the neighborhood, they offered me the job. Can't prove it, but I got the feeling they wouldn't have unless I had registered for the draft, denied smoking pot, etc. The registration record was used as a test for lawfulness by that law enforcement agency.

Ladies, you might want to keep that in mind if you think you might ever want a government job or a security clearance. Your choice will be remembered.
Apple long ago paved the way for selling decent hardware at a very high profit margin, even taking into account R&D. They're a trillion dollar company for it. Other companies of course want to replicate the success.
Tinycoin: A small, horrible cryptocurrency in Python for educational purposes
Taxes don't kill people in the same way that an aggressively expansionist country doesn't cause wars - if you resist, then force is applied to at at least the level necessary to ensure your compliance, up to and including lethal force.

A person pays their taxes and they aren't arrested. If they don't resist that arrest, they'll "only" be imprisoned. A country gives up land to their stronger neighbor and they aren't attacked. If they don't resist that annexation, they'll "only" become a vassal state.
Probably your best bet, given that there’s no college loopholes or similar, is to work for a DoD contractor like Lockheed. Active Duty doesn’t need ML experts (and active duty has little control over their assignments, so you’ll just as likely be configuring networks on the front lines.)

Unless you're using a VPN service that provides its own IPv6 address, as well as an IPv4 address, it's crucial that you disable IPv6 and/or use a firewall to block IPv6 traffic.

Or at least, it is if your ISP provides IPv6 service. If it does, and the VPN both routes IPv6 and doesn't push its own IPv6 address, IPv6-capable websites will see a global IPv6 address that's owned by your ISP.
Landing a 767 without power, not so much... https://youtu.be/GlkCofOyxUA

That's a bit misleading. The Gimli Glider landed without thrust but almost certainly had electrical and hydraulic power. Same deal with the British Airways 777 that crashed at Heathrow.

Meanwhile, LATAM landed a 777 with no electrical power[1] not that long ago. That's a whole different ballgame.

I’ll take the hit on my karma and just suggest readers of this thread read the comments of the original post on hackernoon.

There’s a clear demonstration that MSA and domain oriented data stores are based on a decade of service oriented architecture design and development.
Abstraction should be based on whether the abstraction makes it easier or harder to reason about: to see, to predict consequences of decisions, to diagnose causes of behaviour.

Usually, the established abstractions of the domain are an excellent guide. Even if you think they are sub-optimal objectively, they are easier to reason about for experts in that field.

Communication is already centralized for many people, even when you factor in cell and home internet, often without much alternative. When they've got you locked in like that, they can get away with just about anything: tracking; selling data; hi-jacking your connection for their own interests; blocking anything that goes against their interests; cooperating directly with MPAA, RIAA; etc. There's not much you can do about it.

If a VPN get's caught doing any of that, even if they're remotley suspected, switching is less painful than switching any other online service I can think of. Their motives are as clear as can be with an internet service.

These are not properties necessary for something to be called slavery. In Sparta for example slaves were public property rather than private property and could not be traded, in addition to that they were forced to serve in the front lines of the military.

> does anyone know why Paul Graham has been talking about economic inequality recently?

Back in January of 2016, in the aftermath of the occupy movement and the height of the US presidential campaign, he penned this essay as a sort of "defense" of inequality:

http://www.paulgraham.com/ineq.html

We're ramping back up to another presidential election, the concerns about inequality have only gotten greater, and for the first time, mass transformation of dietary habits via technology as a way to combat climate change has gone from a niche to a national topic.
Aside from that, height has a selective disadvantage during times of trench warfare. You don't want to be a 7' tall man trying to duck in a 5' trench.

I'm just an ignorant nobody, but why would you split a microservice off along a facet that would require transaction and referential integraty? Wouldn't you want to pick off pieces that could be truly independent and not need to care about transactions or referential integrity? otherwise, what problem are you actually solving by splitting the piece off?
This is the problem: DNSSEC purports to make a difficult attack somewhat more difficult (you say a lot more difficult, I say marginally more difficult) at absolutely staggering enormous global expense.

We can solve the DV misissuance problem directly without forklifting in a new DNS, and the forklift upgrade doesn't even decisively solve the primary problem it's meant to solve.

Why are we still considering DNSSEC?

This statement is actually what stood out the most to me because I disagree with it. But, I actually disagree with you that people at the bottom of Maslow's pyramid don't need meaning. If anything, these people need meaning in their lives far more than the people at the top of the pyramid - otherwise, how does one justify all the suffering they must go through on a day to day basis. If you're struggling to make ends meet, having some meaning in your life such as children to raise and feed will make the struggle feel justified. You're not just working those long hours for low pay so you can go home and eat, sleep and repeat, you're doing it for your family and hopefully your children will have a better future as a result of your hard work.

I think I noticed this too. When I was in elementary school in the early 2000s, the stench of run-over worms was almost unbearable after rains. Worm guts everywhere. There were also bugs flying around me whenever I went outside to play. I hated it and wanted it to go away.

It did.
I think opinions like these ignore the immense complexity of the animal brain compared to other natural materials. We are not made of the same stuff as the rest of the external world—living things have a very precise configuration of cells and connections, and the slightest deficiencies or disturbances lead to complete loss of consciousness
It's interesting to read about the 10,000-year clock while thinking about Canticle.
I think panpsychism argues that everything is conscious, at all levels, simultaneously. There are no boundaries. What you experience as a boundary is just the limit of your awareness. Just as you don't consciously beat your heart or heal your wounds. And if you think about it a lot it's tough to really tell where your own boundary brain/body ends and the environment begins.

I like the panpsychism stuff because it resolves some other problems as well 'the transporter problem' - are you the same person after transporting star trek style? Under panpsychism it doesn't matter because you are unawarely everything anyways.

Also the 'the split problem' - say I separated you atom by atom to create two new people with half your parts - which one would you be? or both simultanously? or none? Panpsychism makes answering these questions easy as it argues that you are unawarely both.

A lot of people are trying to explain how we are discreet entities that arise from non-discreet pieces. Trying to figure out where boundaries end/begin. When do you become conscious. What is conscious and what is not. The paysychism theory explains all these things in the other direction by saying nothing is discreet. The sense of discreetness may as well be an evolutionary illusion for the survival of my bag of atoms.

Who knows what is true though, it'd be a breakthrough if there were a way to experimentally validate any of these theories..
And yet we know vegetarianism goes back to at least the 7th century BCE. So perhaps your glib ascription to an urban trendiness is unfounded.
> switching is less painful than switching any other online service I can think of.

I'd even say in many cases switching is possible. It isn't always possible to switch your ISP. Or in my case I can, but all other providers cap at 20Mbps in my town (which is fairly common).
