Yeah, I think this is right. Which doesn't detract from the slide being terrible, but just adds a bit more about why the slide was terrible.

It's possible but it kind of sucks. On most computer keyboards there are limitations as to which keys can be held down simultaneously (and how many), and the keys are on/off - there's no pressure detection. Also, computer keyboards are pretty small - you can't fit many notes on at all - and the keys are not arranged regularly.
You'd rather opt in to global passive surveillance than deal with an inconvenient UX?

Resource consumption is less of a concern to me than general 'snappiness'. Since I have a bunch of RAM, go ahead and use it all if I can have a good experience.

I don't actually use Atom, though I use Sublime full time. My biggest reason for not being able to use Visual Studio is that all functions, be it fuzzy search, regular text search, navigating tabs, even entering a character carries the load of the VSCode IDE. It must parse each character for chances to present additional information, which is great if that's what you want.

Subjectively, I find VSCode too laggy to work at my usual pace.
Very tragic, and events like this make me wish I decided to to travel more! For context, we have burnt down and rebuilt cathedrals before, it just takes a generation!

Somehow I don't think this is a phishing attack.
There is no steamroller in this approach.

Perfectly exploited, you act as an infinitesimal holding-time middleman that has zero probability of not being able to sell, since the future queue is already known. You buy enough so that the real buyer has to pay the upper limit for their limit order every time they buy.

Imperfectly exploited, you still make a very reliable, very low risk profit.
A lot of the discovery was never redacted & released; it remains under seal. I think there was more going on like a courtesy "we're going to hire your person. You want us to turn them down & earn a chit for the future?".

I for one am happy there‘s choice
But it’s not the whole story. If we had no connection to the past, it would feel like there’s no way to ever have a connection to the future, and thus it would feel pointless to do anything that is not entirely contained within your life time. Humanity would then become a very short term thinking species, and no great work or progress would ever be done.
Dersh argues many things confidently and aggressively that seem perhaps facially convincing. Or perhaps you simply don't have time or the presence of mind to present a counterargument in the moment. That's his "strength" as a lawyer. Don't believe any claim until you see the underlying exculpatory evidence, which only he claims exists and only he claims is exculpatory. In this case, he presents none of the evidence. Not one single piece of it. He only presents what the response of others was upon seeing it. He can pull this gag on the general public, but in a court one requires discovery.

The Ableton Push deserves a mention. It has a straightforward (but highly configurable) 8*8 rectilinear grid configuration, but the real magic comes from the deep integration with Ableton Live. It really does turn the DAW into a playable instrument.

Wild animals often suffer a great deal. What if anything, should we do about it?
Well, maybe but filling in those numbers would be hard.

The reason it makes sense to settle something like this is that it's a bunch of what-ifs and would be hard to prove either way. How important is recruiting for getting people to switch jobs when it's well known you can get a higher salary from job-hopping and some people already do it? Particularly since there is also competition from other companies not in on it, and many people ignore recruiters.

It's never going to be clear whether the settlement was overly generous (a bit of unearned money for us) or whether we would have done much better if it had never happened, so the settlement should have been higher. The illegal collusion stopped, so I guess that's successful government action? Since the market for software engineers was and still is pretty robust, it seems like you could just as easily argue that it was a big success or that it made little difference.

It just seems weird to question the settlement now. Would you want to re-argue a settlement for some bankers who supposedly got screwed a decade ago? Aren't there more important injustices in the world that are still going on?

Interesting. I'm not sure I agree though. I was in my early 20s in 1985 and so I can tell you from personal experience that things were really very different back then than now. In 1985 it was possible to escape surveillance without to much difficulty. Nowadays it's nearly impossible.

Also, in 1985 the stock villains weren't terrorists, they were Russians.

I'd push back against the idea of rich interiority personally, but ultimately I think that's more of a philosophical question. Practically speaking since we're engaging in this idea without the requirement to achieve continuity of consciousness, I'd argue it's potentially an unnecessary concern. If you will not continue after death, do you personally care if your replacement has interiority? On the other hand, if you want the things you care about to doing to continue getting done by a replacement, you do care that they are capable of everything you are and respond exactly as you would to every situation.

That being said I think your second challenge is more interesting. Albert Einstein's achievements are the product of both extreme knowledge/specialization, his experience and his personality. I think you'd likely have to have a "knowledge space" which can be mapped to the human "mind matrices." That does complicate things a fair bit, but in the abstract I think a "vanilla human" could plausibly be seeded with Einstein's personality and as much knowledge as you want.

It's nominally the law in my state too, but apparently it's fine to weed out the "non-performers" i.e. whoever you want. Public schools then have to take on the extra burden of the "undesirables".

Not a parent poster, but I think main point still holds. Maybe I would state it differently.

Even if you say 'taking advantage of limited cognitive ability of people' which is true, because everyone is busy, having life problems and is bombarded with all that crap. It makes people stupid, and that is not something to say about particular person.

So second part is about making damage while taking advantage of that created stupidity, which is the same as thieves taking advantage of someone after 12 hour trip. People get tired and do stupid things like not watching their luggage. That is the same as taking advantage of online tiredness, it is also foolishness.

Marketing with McDonalds does not make people hungry, that is of course not the way it works. But when people are hungry and see McDonalds logo, they don't think about alternatives but just go for that option. I fell for that multiple times, when I am tired, I am not going to search for some small restaurant that can have better food. It can turn out that there is one, but food is total crap, so I am not taking chances but going for McD. Getting me tired and hungry to pay them money is taking advantage of my temporary stupidity and foolishness. They have scale and are everywhere so it might look innocent.

That depends on the underlying cryptocurrency, for example I think that there is no way to design exchange such that BTC deposit would be readily apparent on blockchain before it is credited to the exchange account. So it is simply another argument why "smart contracts" does not solve any useful problem.

>To say that time is "really" continuous under such circumstances seems like a weird philosophical claim.

Actually what you say is the weird philosophical claim.

It's like saying Australia didn't really exist when we couldn't observe it (or see any effects from it reach us).

The thing is, to say it could be continuous even if that's not observable might be wrong. But not because it can't be both continuous and not observable: just because it can also be discreet and not observable, and we can't tell which of two it is for sure.

Whether we (or any observer imaginable) can observe effects or not, doesn't mean it's not one or the other.
>You don’t really need a good vpn though.

You do need a VPN for access to a lot of things in countries like China, but that's beside the point because governments can order Apple to take down any app, including end-to-end encrypted messaging apps.

>As for VPNs, those are banned in China for all phones, not just iOS

But what makes the ban effective on iOS as opposed to Android is Apple's side-loading ban. That's my point.

>But you seem to be arguing that closed systems like iOS lead to worse security, but then say you prefer iOS because of it’s superior security? I’m sorry, I really must be missing something

What you may be missing is that I don't live in a country that blocks wikipedia or porn sites and tells Apple to take down VPNs and end-to-end encrypted messaging apps (yet). That could change though.
It was very common in my charter high school. For whatever reason they weren't concerned with the drop out rate, so they openly encouraged special needs kids to drop out.

They had previously encouraged them to go to the alternative school, but budget cuts shut that school down.
Complexity matters for serialization formats - the more complex the spec is, the harder it is to implement a parser for it, and the larger that parser is. Serialization frameworks can't just ignore features without consequences. Thus, redundant features always draw attention - this is no different than e.g. XML having both attributes and elements, which is also often brought up as one of its deficiencies.

But I don't consider it a major deficiency, just a nit. I mean, in the comment that you've responded to, I literally said that it's one of the best contenders for a human-readable serialization format today - it's certainly much better than JSON, or XML for that matter. It's just not perfect.
The value to the defendant in this case to not admit responsibility or wrongdoing is of higher value to the company than it is to the plaintiffs. The settlement money could always end up being higher than the plaintiffs would get out of trial so they can avoid this. The end result - those with the resources/lawyers to become plaintiffs get their money, the companies get to keep doing what they want, and justice isn't actually done.

It's more of a hybrid... It's publicly funded, per student similar to other schools in the area, but additional funding from James' foundation. Of course general school funding should probably be split with a bit more towards the lowest 20-25% on performance and the top 10-15% imho.

I wish more communities were more involved. I've often thought it would be great if every parent were able to participate in one day of class a month how much that could improve things overall.
The origin of the term is kind of comical to modern ears:

The terms originate from the era when stock market trades were executed via paper carried by hand between trading desks. The routine business of hand-carrying client orders between desks would normally proceed at a walking pace, but a broker could literally run in front of the walking traffic to reach the desk and execute his own personal account order immediately before a large client order.

I know, but if you are used to having millions in the bank and living at that level, having to do your own shopping? make your own beds? How about using the same room where you eat dinner to host your cocktail parties? Driving yourself places, flying coach everywhere. Losing your memberships in the various athletic clubs and private clubs. When you compare the burn rate (or expenditures) of someone who goes through a million dollars a year (easy to do if you're a point one percenter), the things you have to give up to fit that into a 200K/year budget (call it 130K after taxes) means giving up a lot of stuff. That is super painful and an excellent punishment.

Philosophy is not just saying random stuff and "trust us".

And inversely, science is not just measuring -- that's the naive positivist (and later Popperian) view of what scientists do.

For example:

As Thomas Kuhn (1961) argues, scientific theories are usually accepted long before quantitative methods for testing them become available. The reliability of newly introduced measurement methods is typically tested against the predictions of the theory rather than the other way around. In Kuhn’s words, “The road from scientific law to scientific measurement can rarely be traveled in the reverse direction” (1961: 189). For example, Dalton’s Law, which states that the weights of elements in a chemical compound are related to each other in whole-number proportions, initially conflicted with some of the best known measurements of such proportions. It is only by assuming Dalton’s Law that subsequent experimental chemists were able to correct and improve their measurement techniques (1961: 173).

> The right way to do it involves a directed hot air gun and proper equipment so that you aren't imposing excessive thermal stresses onto the board as a whole. If you don't know how to do that, then please send it to someone who does. There are several good repair outfits out there right now who specialize in this and can help you out.

Even this method is fraught with danger, at least if one is doing it at home. I have decades of experience with soldering and repairing boards with SMT components and I am hesitant to use a heat gun on a board unless it's a last resort. A couple of years ago I had a Mac mini 2011 logic board with the infamous AMD Radeon BGA warping issue, and I attempted a heat gun repair following best practices. I got another six months out of the board before it started having video issues again, and another attempt to revive it failed. I didn't have anything but time invested in it (it was given to me as scrap when it failed the previous owner), but I'd never use a repaired board like that as a production machine because it will fail again and soon.

Note that the bug was caused by broken code that creates an unsafe, unretained reference to a smart pointer.
Sound pretty amazing though naturally I haven't had time to look in general.

Is this essentially based on something like a universal index, where all the elements in the system are more or less indexed upon each other?
But I think the point is that it's really incredibly hard to do any of those things unless you have financial stability; at the very least, it's a hell of a lot easier when you do.

While the article touches on second hand sales (saying it would be immoral to seal a book from a second hand seller) ironically, this is exactly what digital only distribution seeks to do. Be it ebook or video game, online only first party sales seek to eliminate 3rd party sale completely.

While I don't condone piracy, I am certain that digital only, first party only sales that will ultimately eliminate 3rd party (second hand) sellers and thus will more than make up for any piracy issue.

There is a reason that MS and Sony are pushing for digital only content delivery for their gaming platforms and it has nothing to do with piracy.

Great movie. When you watch it, you need to pay attention to every little thing. For example, the movie opens with an advertisement for government services. The dittie is hysterical, but its easy to miss. That theme gets expanded quite a bit in the film culminating in a fantastic scene with Robert De Niro as a rogue heating engineer.
