I guess the answer is do you believe you have a soul? If you get that far do you think that extends to animals? Some? An elephant or a whale, but not an ant? all?

One part of the anthropomorphism part they touched on (but I'm not sure the last line is universally agreed to)[1], is that humans will do that to more than living things. We once talked about the souls of ships and lately a piece of metal, mechanisms, and circuits was mourned like family member when it lost its battle against the conditions on the next planet over. We pack up and form tribes with other humans, animals, and even inanimate objects that we claim have lives of their own. We invest in things. To the point, I'm pretty sure someone, somewhere added retrieving our lost probe to the must do immediately upon getting their ourselves list. I get the feeling if we have souls, then we invest little parts of them in the things we value.

We like to feel that these inanimate objects have reciprocal affections for us, although we always know at some level that they do not.

Yeah, that is pretty much the entire objective of SVMs.

Right, TiDB developer here, TiDB is more suitable for the scenarios that the data cannot fit in one machine.
I would say sharding may bring extra maintenance cost and code refactoring, and sometimes the storage change is almost transparent to the application layer (well, that depends what’s the workload), but if the application can live with that, TiDB would be a good alternative for large MySQL sharding cluster

Unlike janitors or checkout operators, software work can be outsourced. Outsourcing doesn't make sense for high-skill software engineering for two reasons. First, actually writing the code is only a small part of the job. And second, even when it comes to writing the code, there's still a real quality difference between top US candidates and top international candidates [1].

But software work that requires "little to no skill" is exactly the sort of thing you can successfully outsource.

What has hurt Boeing is the design problem and the poor response to it. At this point, the best way to mitigate the damage is for Boeing to step up, acknowledge fault, fix the problem, and demonstrate concrete changes that will prevent similar problems from occurring in the future.

It's stuff like this that makes me want to build after-market privacy-oriented Samsung firmware, that at a low level (secondary bootloader) supports dual booting. By default you'd boot into the "non-private" environment. That way if customs asks to see your device, you simply boot it up and hand it over. Could make life a lot easier for lawyers, doctors, C-level executives etc.

I should note, dual-booting Android phones isn't a new concept, it's just generally performed at a higher (less secure) level. In particular, the secondary bootloader implements Loke (flashing protocol)[1], so a custom secondary bootloader could also prohibit flashing of unsigned images.

MCAS wasn't designed because "autopilot systems cannot cope with AoA disagree."

Reread what I wrote.

MCAS wasn't enabled at all when autopilot was. Only manual flying.

Quite literally what I wrote.

The Ethiopian Airline pilots never tried to enable autopilot, and didn't "keep trying to engage autopilot" that's pure fiction.

I'm not sure what you're going on about. You can see plain as day that the captain engaged the autopilot — there are five AP warnings on the graphs in the preliminary report. You can also see the position of the AP master switch (which, yes, they engaged autopilot with the stick shaker going off). You can even read through the transcripts where they're fiddling with the autopilot throughout the whole flight.
It's not an assumption. That's based on reading about the topic.

It may not be universally true, but the fact that it is fairly often true is why the term has such negative meaning for most people.
Yes, that's the core premise made by the author: If we're going to plant male plants, either we plant female plants (which have evolved to take up the maximum amount of pollen possible) or our lungs take up the pollen (which results in biological issues).

There's an inflection point where the amount of pollen left in the air by a sparse male forest equals the amount of pollen left in the air by a dense balanced-ratio forest. The article doesn't say where that inflection point is, though — when you state that inflection point as "a balanced-ratio forest can be XYZ as dense as a male-only forest with same or lower pollen counts", XYZ could be 1.1x, 20x, 5000x. Extrapolating that to urban trees, with pollen measured at human face heights, would be the holy grail of prove-or-disprove the value of this approach.

It is very likely that trees evolved to pollinate no more than is necessary to deliver the correct amount of pollen to the trees near them. I cannot find any estimates of this percentage at all, so as with XYZ above, it could be 1%, 10%, or 99%. More science is definitely required in both forest-shaped configurations and urban-shaped pockets.
Autopilot comes up several times in the report, but maybe I'm misunderstanding. Can you clarify?

At 05:38:46 and about 200 ft radio altitude, the Master Caution parameter changed state. The First
Officer called out Master Caution Anti-Ice on CVR. Four seconds later, the recorded Left AOA Heat
parameter changed state.

At 05:38:58 and about 400 ft radio altitude, the flight director pitch mode changed to VNAV SPEED
and Captain called out “Command” (standard call out for autopilot engagement) and an autopilot
warning is recorded.

At 05:39:00, Captain called out “Command”.

At 05:39:01 and about 630 ft radio altitude, a second autopilot warning is recorded

At 05:39:22 and about 1,000 feet the left autopilot (AP) was engaged (it disengaged about 33
seconds later), the flaps were retracted and the pitch trim position decreased to 4.6 units.
Six seconds after the autopilot engagement, there were small amplitude roll oscillations
accompanied by lateral acceleration, rudder oscillations and slight heading changes. These
oscillations continued also after the autopilot was disengaged.

At 05:39:55, Autopilot disengaged,

At 05:39:57, the Captain advised again the First-Officer to request to maintain runway heading and
that they are having flight control problems.

At 05:40:00 shortly after the autopilot disengaged, the FDR recorded an automatic aircraft nose
down (AND) activated for 9.0 seconds and pitch trim moved from 4.60 to 2.1 units. The climb was
arrested and the aircraft descended slightly.
It's a bad trade off. Every security related bug Firefox fixes is a how to guide for ruining waterfox users day for anywhere from weeks to years.

As the article notes, planting both actually reduces one of the problems: pollen. Female plants attract and capture pollen. So you will slightly increase litter while moderately reducing pollen.

Additionally, as the article also notes, all allergens are not created equal. Pollen is mostly notable insofar as it is allergenic; planting trees with low or nor allergenic pollen uncouples "pollen" and "pollen that causes allergies" levels.

I'm very curious - why are you still on XP?
I remember reading about a model boating society that, instead of wargaming, would create scale models of famous warships and fight them - the hulls would be thin wood, and the turrets had motorised mounts and compressed air guns capable of firing a metal pellet through the wooden hulls. The ships would have less internal bulkheads (to account for the damage explosive shells would cause) but would otherwise try to be as true to life as was possible given the limits of technology (I don't think anyone was building gyro-stabilised gun platforms, for example, as it was too hard to minituarize).

There was even a proposal to build larger scale ships that used small-calibre handgun ammunition and sheetmetal hulls, but it was shot down (if you'll forgive my pun) for being wildly unsafe and probably illegal (as I understand civilians are generally discouraged from owning remote-controllable firing mechanisms).
I think this might backfire, though.

It's the same problem with Veracrypt/LUKS hidden volumes. If they know about the sandbox capability, they could easily say "okay, now unlock the real one" if they find nothing incriminating. What happens if you _did_ unlock the real volume/sandbox in the first place and have nothing incriminating on it?

Only remedy for this is having arbitrarily many sandboxes.

Portable… for Windows? It’s a .Net application using Windows Forms. That’s open sourced, and thus portable in theory. In practice, it’s Windows only.

This sounds a lot like the film Caligula, from 1979.

They got Malcolm McDowell, Teresa Ann Savoy, Helen Mirren, Peter O'Toole, John Steiner, John Gielgud etc - but re-shot a bunch of pornographic scenes long after principle photography had wrapped, and then edited the whole thing into what's now a bit of a cult classic, but at the time was banned by most countries censorship boards, disavowed by many who were involved in the production, and the subject of a swathe of legal attacks.

Falling rate of profit
"Opt-out telemetry" creates precisely the scenario I describe, where the users who care most are least visible to Mozilla, at which point their needs would go unconsidered; no one knows they exist, how many of them there are, or why they're opting out. This remains true regardless of why, which negates your entire list of issues, replacing them with a simple question that is very difficult to answer:

How could Mozilla respect the needs of users who opt-out of Mozilla knowing they, and their needs, exist at all?

How could any creator of anything?

If you can't identify who your users are, you can't ask them questions, and you can't tell if they're "vocal 0.001%" or "vocal 40%" of your userbase — then what consideration could you give, as a software developer, for their needs?

You can refuse to change, and simply always offer the one thing you offer, and accept that you're the best option for a minority of users over time. You can continue developing to your own needs, and let them stay or go as they see fit. You can try to read the tea leaves of internet forum posts, but that comes with a huge penalty to significance. You can try new things and try to tell from the howls of outrage whether it's a wording error or a direction error or simply "change is bad, I hate you all".

Opting out is not free. Opting out comes at a price to you. Your needs will be less likely to be considered, and your solutions may change in ways that are not to your liking. You have every right to opt out, but is the price of that acceptable to you?

ps. If you can solve how to let users of something influence its creator in a fair and just manner, such that all users have equal influence, while opting out of being known to that creator to exist at all, you will be a billionaire within five years.

> just saying "well it emerges somehow" is the same as believing in the supernatural, but hiding it in scientific language (aka scientsim).

I'm not sure I agree here. Nothing strikes me as unreasonable to hypothesize that consciousness can be something that "emerges somehow", say from a certain system of computations. Yes, it does hide a magic step, but is that not the crux of it? We don't know enough about consciousness to say otherwise. To so thoroughly dismiss this possibility as supernatural from the one statement seems undeserved.
Pick one. Either MCAS "came into play" to "cope with AoA disagree" because "the autopilot systems cannot" or "MCAS is only needed when autopilot is disabled."

The statements aren't mutually exclusive. Not even a little bit.

Autopilot eventually disengaged because there was an AoA disagree. MCAS was active because the autopilot was disabled. That's how MCAS works. That's the only situation in which MCAS could be engaged. And that doesn't mean that MCAS was designed to mitigate the problems related to an AoA disagreement.

I temporarily back up the encrypted file to S3 in case my computer blows up, but for some reason I have a small sense of satisfaction that my passwords don’t live in a 3rd party like LastPass, even though I’m aware of the auditing and scrutiny they go through consistently to maintain credibility for what they do.
