Not even “not curious”, but often just “not curious about that thing, right now”.

Heck, most people understand very little about the myriad of everyday systems that keep them alive. Forget engines, computers or say, type theory. Most literally don’t know where their water comes from (to any level deeper than “it comes in a pipe”) or where their poo goes - and collectively that’s ok because the benefit of society is that this stuff gets taken care of for us.

I think looking up now and then, scratching the surface of our own ignorance, can help specialists build empathy when communicating with others outside their field.
I think a lot of performing musicians actually prefer the reliability of a wired connection with no handshaking going on.

Von Neumann was thoroughly familiar with non-classical logic. He himself came up with several variants (including quantum logic) in the 1930s.
Nice tip. I am going to try this too.

Good negotiating shoots for a win-win scenario, not a cut-throat taking-advantage outcome. One of the values of reading books is making sure people are generally on the same page as to how to do this dance.

You can learn negotiating by working on people skills generally. The biggest takeaway from my college class on Negotiating and Conflict Management was that both parties will decide the other is "being difficult" when they are having trouble coming to terms, but the actual root cause of the problem is usually that there is a narrow range in which you can both benefit from the transaction.

So, learn to talk to people around you and ask why rather than accuse.

Also look up the term BATNA -- Best Alternative To A Negotiated Agreement. If you understand what your options are if you can't get cooperation, that helps define "how low should you go?" The answer: No lower than your BATNA. If they can't improve on that scenario, they can't add any value. It's not a deal you should make.

Also, information is power. Research the problem space so you know what your options are.

Last: Value is found in your differences, not your similarities.

Ideally, you want someone saying "Man, I hate oranges. I would happily trade my oranges for your apples!" where you hate "apples." Win-win. You both feel like it cost "nothing" and was all upside.

I also suggested some good negotiating books in a different comment.
I read the OP as saying ‘retrain’. Both work
The Chinese central government is not happy to let Hong Kong run itself. That's why Article 23 was pushed numerous times, as well the National Anthem Bill and the extradition law. They put their customs officials on Hong Kong territory, to the dismay of many locals. They also conduct extra-judicial behavior such as kidnapping HK citizens.

In 1997, HKers were afraid their freedoms would erode under Chinese rule. We were left alone for a while, but the spectre was always there. Now, the Central Government has made it more of a priority.

That said, there are many HKers who consider HK part of China and many others who don't.
On the side of where all the internet platforms are from, it is the US that's relevant. Maybe it's not a coincidence that the EU doesn't produce many internet platforms that are good?
Could this article be provocative on purpose? This seems like something that is written to provoke outrage, and exactly what I would do if I were running anti-chinese propaganda. It's unconfirmably anecdotal, the victim is a female Boston college student (very easy to sympathize with), and fits in the "China is expanding their fascist policies" narrative.

In the same vein, if I were running Chinese propaganda, I'd probably write a story about how a fat American in China demands a Chinese laborer give up their seat because they are inferior.
This may help too, I was lazy about it too, and I found that once I had a goal I wanted, it really helped me actually achieve something.

If you want to work out, two suggestions I can give is check out starting strength. That's a very good workout routine. Another if you ha e the money is to hire a personal trainer. Both of those have really helped me.
No-one seems to have suggested that it’s the one thing we should optimise for, but it is important. Small businesses are the foundation of economies, and every extra overhead ultimately damages those economies and so needs some justification that is of greater value, financial or otherwise. One year on, it’s still not clear to me that GDPR has achieved that greater good, and I write that as someone who is a very strong believer in stronger privacy laws in principle.
I used to run a website called roboshout.com... at one point was making almost $1000 a week... I used Stripe to accept payments. The user could send/receive anonymous texts, send 1000 texts, custom robocalls etc... 2 years into a happy partnership with Stripe and decent income... I got a letter pretty much saying the same thing except it was in regards to "telemarketing". Lost the API and my website functionality overnight with no warning!

Good catch, I was wondering why they all had erections.
So this decision is purely on the team - no saying "we took input from others and didn't do completely what we wanted to do.'

In that case, you as a team basically saying that you were afraid of punctuation was intellectually shallow, lazy, and a terrible decision. It wasn't like a tailing @ or # would have turned rust into APL. You should go back and revision the `?` decision then under the same reasoning.

I can't imagine a usecase for such a feature. It would prevent parents from auditing the page.
Maybe, maybe not. Some apps have no obligation to meet these checklists because they are for tasks that can only be performed by people with no significant visual impairment. I am not claiming that this a common case. But how would e.g. someone with poor eyesight use gimp successfully? Dumb line of business apps that have a simple UI made mostly out of standard widgets have fewer excuses.
China really needs to overcome its own hangups about its sense of victimization by the British. Get the fuck over it. Lose that fascist notion of superiority over the world and learn to cooperate with it.

The Chinese emperors of yesterday and the communist party of today prioritize state power over all else. It is a country that will always lag in the world because it is too busy choking itself to death.
Glad I live in and do business from the US where we don’t have to deal with this wasteful and oppressive law.
Also China knows how to make trains, but much less about making airplanes. So they are not as motivated to develop domestic flights. Even outside of a protectionist angle, when they need economic stimulus, they routinely go for massive HSR construction. It would have been much less effective with airports/planes.
Sorry, you're right this was useless. My bad.

You're talking about a separate thing.

The "speaking agent", or the analyzing agent, is also the predictive agent, and the goal-biasing agent. These are all one "thing." That "thing" is the subsystem of the brain that gets woken up by activity on dopamine receptors, and attempts to model the world (with a bias toward predicting world-states it would like to see, and can make real by predicting a future that requires it to have enacted certain motor commands, which it then enacts to attempt to unify this prediction with reality. Further reading: https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/03/06/book-review-behavior-t...)

We have drugs that lower the activity level of this subsystem—dopamine antagonists (i.e. antipsychotics) and, at a lower level, AMPA-receptor antagonists (i.e. anticonvulsants.) At high doses, these drugs produce a state called "delirium", where the affected person will just sit and stare at the wall (or whatever you put them in front of), doing something if they are coerced to, but otherwise doing absolutely nothing—not blinking, not changing their visual focus, not shifting due to discomfort. You can also get a state of delirium from brain damage, or in some forms of depression.

That is what I mean when I describe the effect of having your analyzing-agent cut out. "You" are still there—you are still conscious, and can still perceive the world!—but no thinking is happening. No predicting, no world-modelling, no goal-pathing or choice-weighing or executive-function-ing. You are a passive, judgement-less qualia sponge.

(Technically, this isn't even the "true" death of the thinking agent. These people can think; they can respond to direct questions, they can solve problems if you force them to do so with threat of immediate harm, etc. What's actually happening is that the goal-biasing is gone, so their perceptual-control agent is just attempting to predict the future that'll happen if it does nothing—and then unifies the motor-command stream with that future by doing nothing.)

(Amusingly, a Buddhist would say that a person in a state of acute delirium has attained enlightenment.)
> which has cost US companies billions and the US government hundreds of lives.

Can you tell me with a straight face that the CIA, NSA etc. do _not_ have active espionage activities in China? Do you think valuable intellectual property and state secrets exist only in the US? That as a result of these activities, the Chinese Government has not also lost lives?

Do not buy so easily into propaganda. Nations will promote themselves as the only "Good" nation to their own people throughout the world. Because the US is a democracy, the US Government has to be very careful and frame the narrative in a way that's not an outright power grab.

"I want to work out and be in great shape."

This is really vague actually, and you could chase that goal forever. I need you to set a small goal, like being able to do 50 pushups and then train specifically for that over the next few weeks whenever you can. Even if you don't become able to do 50 pushups, you'll have gotten slightly stronger along the way. Once you become stronger, you'll start feeling strong and motivated enough to do more stuff.

Set small goals that you can reasonably work toward and progress gradually. What do you mean by running? If you mean like running outside around your neighborhood, that's too easy to excuse yourself from by scapegoating the weather or that the time is bad. I recommend learning to skip/jump rope, which you can do without even leaving your home if you're feeling lazy. Once you get more fit with the jump rope, you'll be able to feel up for running when the opportunity does come instead of pushing it off.

Good luck!
My iPhone X definitely gets uncomfortably hot after less than 30 minutes of playing PUBG, and I don't even use a case. To illustrate my point, there are "gaming cases" with fans on them, so it's enough of an issue for companies to market solutions at it.

Isn't this related to how often we find people closer to the psychopathic part of the mental spectrum in leadership positions ? That distancing themselves from suffering and emotions of others comes naturally to them ?
The key sentences from that paper: "If applications and libraries are written in such a manner that the code path and sequence of memory accesses are oblivious to the data and key being used, then all timing side channels are immediately and trivially closed. [We assume that the hardware used does not exhibit data-dependent instruction timings; without this assumption, it is impossible to offer any such guarantees.]"

That is, these earlier timing side channels can be avoided, even in the presence of SMT/HyperThreading, by not doing data-dependent branches or memory accesses, and not using instructions with data-dependent timings. For instance, instead of "x = cond ? a() : b();", do something like "mask = cond - 1; x = a() & ~mask | b() & mask;".

That is not the case with MDS: even if you carefully avoid data-dependent branches, memory accesses, and instruction timings, you are still vulnerable. It's really a new vulnerability class.
It's possible that it's merely a signifier of gender.

Some comic artist was depicting realistic women -- instead of your stereotypical comic book women with giant knockers -- and got complaints that people couldn't tell who the women were. I think they began upsizing the bosom as a gender signal.

From what I have read, tribal peoples who wore little clothing routinely depicted genitals in their art as a matter of course. They weren't trying to comply with some board that would censor it. They were just depicting the world around them.
Is it possible to (ab)use that hardware support to do other tasks by mapping them to a decoding task?
My grandpa would agree, I think. DOS is way easier to teach by rote, and is a much more consistent experience than a modern operating system.
Show HN: nextdns.io – A Combination of Cloudflare DNS and Pi-Hole
Tried to get the primary source for the study behind the graphs there, links through to a paywalled study - so I can’t find the sample size, methodologies used, how the study was controlled etc... I’m not disputing anything - I am however cautious of drawing conclusions from articles / posts without proper citations and primary source data. Paywalled study: https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fa0035173

It is promising however that this blog as a section on logical fallacies, without going through more articles I can’t comment if they adhere to avoiding them or not, still - good to see.
We've been working super hard on nextdns.io, a cloud-based private DNS service that gives you full control over what is allowed or blocked on your devices.

Here is a few things you can do with it:

- Block malicious websites, trackers, ads, and more by combining the most popular blocklists out there, all updated in real-time (100+ lists to choose from).

- Set your own privacy requirements: you decide what type of logs are kept (and for how long) depending on the level of analytics you want. Down to absolutely NO logs.

- Automatically use DNS-over-HTTPS on all networks (including cellular) with our apps for Android, iOS, Windows and macOS. They are all tiny, tightly integrated with the OS and have negligible battery usage. (Some of them are still being worked on.)

- Bypass nearly all forms of government/ISP censorship without the need for a slow/costly VPN, and make it way harder for your ISP to know what you are doing on the Internet.

- Get in-depth analytics and real-time query logs so you can measure the efficiency of your blocking strategy, see when the apps on your devices are calling home, etc. And choose what is logged down to absolutely no logs, you decide.

- Easily protect your family (you can create as many configurations as you want on one account, each with different settings, and you can use multiple different configurations while being on the same network).

It also supports all the latest DNS technologies (DNS-over-HTTPS/TLS, Query Name Minimisation, DNSSEC validation, etc.), and it's fast (for most countries, we are or will very soon be as low-latency as Google DNS, Cloudflare and the likes).

There are tons of other cool stuff we built into that service (like the fact that each configuration gets its own DoH/DoT endpoint and IPv6) but that post is already way too long :)

We recorded a short GIF of us browsing through the interface:
https://gfycat.com/LinedVerifiableBellfrog

You can create your first configuration and test it right away without signing up (you can sign up later and "save" it).

We would really appreciate if you could try the service, tell us what you like, what you don't like, what you would add, etc. We will happily answer all questions (even the technical ones).

Cheers, and thanks!
Thats the point of it all though isn't it? The value of the CEO is in knowing where to prioritize reinvestment. The CEO is the one responsible for making the decisions you are suggesting be made.
So some high profile US govt officials were at risk of exposure. Yet they’re happy to collect and use data of and against everyone in the world including their own so called citizens. (Subjects really.) Privacy for me, not for thee.

This seems really strange, I mean Native Americans had domesticated dogs, and as far as I'm aware the earliest migratory groups had dogs too, and that was at least 15000 years ago.

Surely dogs that they possessed were trained and controllable? seems a strange claim that it only dates back 8000 years.
That may be the right approach. But desktop toolkits don't do this.
I fixed it! How about recent ones?
I think of it as T-shaped developers who have the attitude that they can learn what is necessary, have a culture of collaboration that reduces the friction of learning, and still allow people the ability to shine in code.

I think of my teams as "primarily front end" and "primarily API/back end."

Many people would call that "full stack." Some would call a developer like me "full stack" as in my career I've been a backup sysadmin, Db (pl/sql) dev, back end, front end, and a few other things as needed. But at any one time, I can really only be proficient in two of these - everything else decays.
I figured out for myself a while back, that if I suspect I’m taking the “easy” choice or making excuses for myself, if I imagine there was a great coach standing next to me who knew my mindset & goals and had my best interests in mind, what would he tell me to do right now. The right action will often become surprisingly clear.
Yeah, that's definitely a difference.

I still feel the sting of not performing well on my SAT to this day, and it's been 5 years! It's like a mark against my humanity.
I call bullshit Mr Trump
I believe it is the desire for hidden truths, so that one may begin to understand themselves. Mysticism used to play that role for many. "Here is a practice you can do daily to find hidden truths about oneself." But in the modern world, conspiracy theories fill that need.
How familiar are you with Hong Kong? A lot of people who don't know anything about its history or politics are very surprised to hear that it wasn't a democracy under British rule.

> Your account is 2 days old and just has posted a bunch of geo-political Anti-Western stuff.

Poisoning the well much? If you're referring to my support for Assange, then I'll just say that I don't consider the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to be "anti-Western."
It may or may not be overly paranoid, but I think the risk would essentially be that a publicly stated incorrect interpretation could be successfully used in court as evidence of failure to comply. I doubt the executive themselves would be held directly liable or be personally punished, it's just that it's a risk for the company that doesn't have any tangible benefit from a legal standpoint - so from a lawyer's perspective, why do it?

That being said - it seems unlikely that his understanding would be inaccurate given the amount of time and research and he claims to have done, so the actual risk could be negligible. It might even be conceivable that such a public statement could be used as legal evidence in the company's favor showing that the CEO took every practical step possible to comply to the best of a reasonable and well-informed person's understanding of the law. The public relations boost of giving out good knowledge/guidance (attracting talent, customers/clients) might be sufficiently beneficial to justify the risk.
If the business is user-hostile then why do the users use these services instead of paying for services that aren't "user-hostile"?
Sometimes it's not the content of a thought that is the problem, but the way a thought affects other thoughts. In other words, often the goal of controlling your perception of your train-of-thought, is to use the feedback mechanism of quieting and negatively-training ignored thoughts, to prevent and discourage your thoughts from spiralling (as in panic disorder) or to prevent thoughts detached from a referent (as in schizophrenia) or to prevent thoughts from over-staying their usefulness (as in OCD.) In each of these syndromes, the analyzing-agent is freaking out due to something, and the perception of the freak-out is painful for the perceiving-agent, just like having someone shout into your ear is painful.

As well, in some psychological paradigms that people tend to intuitively use (at least in Western culture), some thoughts that diverge greatly from the "motivational base" of other thoughts—thoughts that aren't coherent with the rest of the self—are deemed to be "intrusive" or "ego-dystonic." (This doesn't make as much sense when you model your self as containing multiple agents with distinct preferences, as in the Internal Family Systems model, but I digress.) In such cases, mindfulness meditation can be used as a tool to silence incoherent thoughts, since they often trigger a crisis of self whenever they occur (e.g. "I keep thinking about what would happen if I stabbed people; does that mean I want to stab people?" or "I keep thinking about stepping out into traffic; does that mean I want to die?" when often these are just the ramblings of an internal agent obsessed with not doing those things who really wants to make sure you're aware that the consequences would be bad if you did do them.)

In either case, there's nothing wrong with thinking certain thoughts. It's really just that your analyzing-agent thinks there's something wrong with those thoughts that it is thinking, and this makes it do very useless and annoying things (from the perspective of the perceiving agent), like repeating the same thought over and over, or being unable to focus on or interpret what's in front of it, etc. These are "bad" inputs to thought-perception, just like clashing, atonal noise is "bad" input to sound-perception. (It's really the thinking agent that notices that the perceiving agent is experiencing pain qualia due to its output, and who then decides to do something about it by modulating the perceiving agent such that the thinking agent gets less CPU-time to run. Other than autonomic stuff like breathing and hardware-accelerated stuff like forming phoenemes with the mouth, it's only the thinking agent that ever "does" anything at all. But it's helpful to model the things it does because of the preferences of other agents, as being done by those other agents.)
That wasn't done to the United States. It was done to the native people before the United States was founded, and by the United States to the native people afterwards.

If you make it harder for companies for protecting people it's still a win. I recently visited SF, "the center of innovation" for the startup world. I saw 2 people defecating on the street in 2 weeks, countless peeing and had to jump over homeless at some points to walk the street. If that's the cost for startup and innovation, please don't bring it to EU.
