Well, do we want to catch people harming children, or do we just want to not be aware of it? We have an out-of-sight-out-of-mind policy right now. Reporting is discouraged, because then all your stuff would be seized as evidence and you'd be under suspicion. Lots of people probably destroy computers if they accidentally come across the stuff, since mere possession of the data is an offense.

If it spreads around, then somebody might recognize a perpetrator. I suppose we could get fancy, with a rule that you can keep it if you register it. That would make it far easier to track things back to the source and then see if anybody is getting harmed.
There has been at least one case of such a lawsuit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleem!#Sony_lawsuit
One must consider that Alan Watts himself was a magnificent old rascal. He made no pretense about it and described himself as a "philosophical entertainer". When you verify his teachings (either by experience or by going to the source) you find a lot of deliberate bending. His interpretation of the Tao Te Ching is deeply idiosyncratic, for example. Though I suspect there's some degree of truth in his opinion of Gurdjieff, I wouldn't take his word for it.
You nailed it. Most of the time, we don't even know why we just did a particular action. Our subconscious expresses an urge, and we usually just do it. Afterwards, our conscious mind rationalizes the decision with some sort of logic which people will defend to the death.

It is possible to communicate with the subconscious. In fact, it is always communicating with us. Our society is so focused on the conscious mind that we tend to not notice. This is what anxiety is. The subconscious is trying to express an unmet need. The medical field tries to suppress and numb the symptoms instead of listening to your body.

Source: Nobody told me this. I discovered this while dealing with massive personal problems over many years. Operating under this assumption is how I overcame serious addiction, anxiety and depression. Meditation is a good way to calm to conscious mind so you can "hear" your subconscious and body.

This is a common complaint about the mugs that come in the sets. They should make it clear that the mugs are a completely different sort of product, made in China.

That said, in my humble opinion Corelle is the best dishware ever made. There's nothing else that even comes close. They are thin, light, and super tough. We've broken only one piece in decade at my house, and that was because I absent-mindedly cut fruit on a plate using a ceramic knife, which scored the plate and lead it to snap neatly in half.

Before the Corelle we used heavy, expensive, high-class Lenox stoneware, and I fucking hated it. Plus it turned out to be contaminated with lead, which is what caused me to toss it away and switch to Corelle. My life would be significantly worse if Corelle didn't exist.

- Hopefully, the app provides the recipient of the message a way to opt out of all future messages (and deletes their personal information immediately upon receipt of such a request).

- I'd consider it to be a violation of my privacy if someone who wanted to remind me of something shared my contact details with a third party service without getting my permission first.

- I'd consider it to be insulting if someone asked me to do something by sending me automatically generated messages. If it's important enough to remind me about, it's important enough for them to spend the time to send me a personal message. I'd only ever use an app like this to send reminders to myself, and there are already dozens of ways for me to do that (e.g., calendar reminders).
> and it should be possible to send a message that is not understood without causing a fatal error

I do that sort thing in C via a SendMessage(msgType...) idiom. Instead of a bunch of functions, you have one function and a message Type and some data. If the destination doesn't know what to do with a message of type whatever it just spits that back.
No this completely misses the point! The point is the development model, not the language syntax.

Static types assume a "static" phase: an edit-compile-run cycle, with bright lines between each stage.

But as a Smalltalk programmer, you inhabit the system and build it inside-out, while it is running. For example, during development it is routine to query live objects. The lines between the edit-compile-run phases disappear.

Static types don't make sense in the Smalltalk model because there's no static phase.

Technology has always outrun regulation. It’s not any different in these cases. Regulators will catch up as they always have. This, truly, is how progress has been made since the dawn of time.

I should count my lucky stars that my flow state is not interrupted by having to move a mouse an average of once a minute.

T430s is a horrible design mess. there is a middle layer of magnesium and all the wires go through random holes drilled in this magnesium and if you go through the wrong hole you will never get it back together again. the fan is on the bottom of the motherboard on the bottom of the computer and it takes 12 disassembly steps and 12 reassembly steps to fix the most commonly broken part which is the fan. Die T430s, die!!!
Lots of good examples in firearms. Forget just ammunition, there's old firearm designs that regularly see use today. Some examples would be the 1911 pistol, or the M2 Browning machine gun (1918). And there's entire classes of firearms that are essentially unchanged from that period, like bolt-action rifles, most of which use a Mauser action which was designed in 1895.

The key difference here, I think, is that there haven't been radical new improvements in firearms. You can clearly point out where the faults in, say, legacy airplanes lie, but guns (at least in civilian uses) haven't changed as much. Now, granted, for military uses, the modern assault rifle is a far cry from the aforementioned guns.
I think its horrible - its far too early to make that decision for your child. I think its something a person should make for themselves. "Expensive dental work" could mean only a few teeth impacted - the rest may be perfectly great. I see no reason to take them out.
It is interesting to see how The Intercept/First Look has evolved, both as a news organization and a non-profit, speaking as someone who has also worked at a billionaire-founded nonprofit news org [0]. Both orgs have a focus on accountability journalism, and PP, like TI, drew criticism for its seemingly high salaries (for the non-profit world). I think undoubtedly TI had significantly more attention/awareness/pageviews than PP, when comparing the first few years; I wouldn't be surprised if Greenwald has more Twitter followers than the entire PP staff combined. Beyond that, I don't know how directly comparable the two orgs are, because the state of online-first journalism in 2008 was so much different than it was 2014, when TI launched.

That said, one main difference might be ProPublica having more a general plan for self-sufficiency through philanthropy. The Sandler Foundation promised $10M for the first 3 years, and to provide support afterwards -- their share would shrink as contributions from other donors came in (don't remember if there was a solid plan if PP failed to attract significant donors after the first 3 years). PP's early investigations [1] were relatively niche topics (at least at the time, and most certainly compared to anything Trump-related today). But the drive to have "impact" -- awards, collaboration with other news orgs, spurring legislative action -- was ostensibly attractive to philanthropic foundations looking to donate. It's worth noting that PP has for awhile dedicated fundraising staff -- $1M in fundraising expenses according to its 2017 990; I don't see First Look listing any fundraising expenses in its 990s so I don't know if they'll start going that route or plan to find revenue from other sources.

Many of the article titles on Bloomberg etc seem to have turned into clickbait in the last few years. I suppose that’s what works for driving clicks or maybe I have just wised up to it as I grew older.

I remember a 10th or 11th grade English class (US public school) where they brought in a guest journalist. She basically told the class that readers would rather read about the story of a family who went through a tornado rather than stats about how fewer people are dying from tornados... so I suppose things haven’t really changed.
I love all of Rust’s documentation it has really been great to see as I learn the language. I can pick up a language easy enough but to pick up a language’s specific idioms is really hard without examples and this resource is great for that.
One issue I have had though is how often the resource is out-of-date in some sense. Rust 2018 switched how modules were included and I constantly was confused what the difference was until I learned one was just older (by like a month). Also error handling is very confusing for me. I used error-chain first and everything worked but then I heard failure was the way to go yet there are very few resources on using either idiomatically.

> This does not commit me to the view that running is fundamental to s's personhood.

That is not Descartes conclusion or my conclusion.

To Descartes, the person as experienced in a priori thought has a special primacy over all other existing things. While "s" may be doubted due to its a posteriori nature, the self is fundamentally undoubtable in its existence, hence "I think therefore I am".

To Descartes, the existence of a priori thought is the building block of all logic and personhood.
I think the success of Unix is much better explained by "Worse is Better" than the modularity/composability of little utilities called the Unix philosophy.
The powder really isn't that different. The max pressure allowable is part of the cartridge specification, which hasn't changed since the original design. Otherwise you'd have newer ammunition blowing up older guns, which clearly would be unacceptable. You can take modern .30-06 ammo, which is still a very popular hunting cartridge, and fire it in an M1903 Springfield with no issues.

What would happen if we'd apply PageRank to the problem? I.e., everybody gives N votes to other people. Then we'd put everything in a big matrix, compute the first eigenvector, and obtain a ranking. And then we'd distribute wealth according to that ranking.

Since N is limited, I'm guessing that "SEO" would not be a problem.
Yes. In voting, it is often the case that one choice is moral, the other is immoral.

because I'm not a new zealand lawyer, but both US and new zealand uses common law, so I'm using that as a point of reference. I'm not trying to say "it's x in the US therefore it's x in new zealand".

The people posting/sharing those videos aren't going to comply with nicely worded "requests for cooperation". If they want something taken down, they'll need assistance of the legal system.

The differences are due to the logic and perspectives of the positions, not the concept of a 'person' itself. It's a similar difference to the concept of a person under existentialism as contrasted with cartesian dualism.

I'd like to pentest that. Here are some real and hypothetical cases that should be easier to defend:

* thousands of people access scientific journal articles through scihub

* thousands of people copy books from an illegal mirror of the corpus of digital books from UC libraries that Google scanned for Google books

* millions of people sharing copyrighted digital music and videos

Do you also publicly defend without reservation the behavior of the people in my bullet points above on free speech grounds? Should such users and publishers be defended in their endeavors on free speech grounds?

I'm not interested in this video or the man's opinions.

But I strongly believe that the footage should be available so people can see just how horrifying it was.

If you want people to take terrorism seriously, they need to really really understand how terrifying it is. Names and numbers don't do that. Watching another human go from walking and talking to stone cold dead in an instant does do that.
I’m no airplane expert but I find the trend lines of the industry interesting and one trend has been how fuel prices and long lead times on fuel efficiency has lead to formerly continental planes now flying intercontinental. AirBus has really done this well and airlines love to be able to reuse resources. With the MAX there is a sense that airline execs are spooked by a new plane since it requires a ton of new training and maintenance outfitting. So Boeing, possibly smartly, tried to create what these airlines would pay for (a fuel efficient airplane) that would marketable be super similar to a very popular plane. But this lead to rushing the process and making too many affordances and hiding the differences from airlines and training material for fear of spooking business execs worried about cost.
Why do you think they're under-zoning housing? Because office space tends to be built away from existing homes and doesn't face as much opposition from NIMBYs.

Housing, on the other hand, is blocked by them because that "gargantuan 4 story apt building" is going to lower their precious home value. I agree that infrastructure needs to keep up with development, but that's not impossible to do.

If NYC, Chicago, Seattle, etc can do it, why does SF seem to have such a hard time doing so? Because SF local government is a shitshow that does nothing but serve the interests of existing homeowners, who somehow want to benefit from the prosperity of growing cities without the construction/density those cities require.
I remember Greenwald being known for being an outspoken, opinionated writer. Maybe his Twitter presence today projects a different image than his blogging presence back in the day. But I was under the impression that Greenwald tendency of "railing" about things, like the Iraq War, was what made Snowden aware and trusting of Greenwald:

> In my own exploration of the blogosphere over a decade ago, I soon ran across Glenn Greenwald. In some ways he seemed to break the rules of writing online: he wrote long blog posts composed of long sentences in long paragraphs. His blocks of text did not welcome, but I read them anyway. So did thousands of others.

> In the process of blogging, Greenwald helped form a community of interest, just as opposing communities formed to support Bush and his policies. In forming his community, Greenwald eventually drew the attention of a young man who’d been mostly hanging out in techie communities: Edward Snowden.

>Fixing an "aerodynamic" problem with a "software" solution is already cutting over to a different problem domain and it will lead to unforeseen circumstances.

I have a hard time parsing this. A modern airliner is a conglomerate of physical aerodynamic design, electronics and software. I am not convinced that something like MCAS is so out of the norm from modern aviation design principles.

>People at Boeing who made decisions for this project whether it is a team lead or a test lead or a project manager or a sales exec or a CEO; are all equally blamed for this.

Maybe. Or maybe there is no actual underlying problem. Or maybe the problem has nothing to do with the MCAS system. Let's wait a little and see how it plays out.

To an extent you're right. I've used vim for 20 years, and in the first say 5 years I would spend a lot of time tweaking configs, learning new commands etc. I don't think I will ever make back the time I spend on that in saved editing time.

However, the main benefit of vim isn't so much 'increased speed' (to me) but rather 'feels like a solid tools in my hands', or even better, 'feels like an extension of my mind'. No other editor gives me that - there are always these small micro-interruptions of 'reaching for mouse, aim at menu, miss, try again' or 'take hands off home row, now my elbow isn't in a comfortable position any more when I go back'.

It's like using say a Hilti, blue Bosch or Makita cordless drill vs a no-name or even cheaper brand name one. You can drill holes or screw screws just as well, but the reduced vibrations and excess power and tighter fit of everything just make everything feel more effortless and make you spend less time on being annoyed at the tools, even if they're all just 'micro-annoyances' that don't add up to any measurable time wasted. The more expensive ones (in Vim's case, expensive in learning time) are still worth it.
