For interested people: there is at the moment a proposal for a StackExchange website https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/121978/texmacs

Especially upvotes to questions are important, as enough people have joined to pass the first stage, but not enough questions have been upvoted.
I used to really dislike it specifically because of the white flowers and how they attracted bees, but have since made an almost 180 on it. As Isamu said, it has great nitrogen-fixing benefits and I'm now trying to encourage the bees.
Oof. This is an important contribution about the handshake and resumption protocols, but the abstract is badly misquotable. I worry this will lead to problems as it’s reported elsewhere.

TLS 1.3 doesn’t encrypt the SNI, doesn’t encrypt the destination IP address, and doesn’t mask the size or ordering of packets. In practice, TLS 1.3 protects secrecy of the bits you send—but not privacy of to whom or how much.

As I wrote five years ago when TLS 1.3 was getting started, https://weblog.evenmere.org/posts/2014-05-16-tls-is-not-for-... , the privacy folks have needs misaligned with the prevalent technology.
My brief Wikipedia look-up on kin selection makes it seem like it is an evolutionary strategy exclusive to animals. Do you have examples of non animal species or "trivial organisms" that have used this strategy?

Edit: just saw a small snippet on plants down the page but if anything, i think kin selection in and of itself is supporting of consciousness. I have a hard time imaging non-conscious subjects exhibiting kin selection.
ffmpeg allows me to turn my audible books into mp3 as I like to listen to them using smart audiobook player.

Isn't there a script to do the same for Microsoft too?
I tried no mow grass. Died too. Then I seeded with California poppy, red poppies, corn flowers, honey wort and Shasta daisies. They are reseeders and bloom in sequence in my Ca 8a/8b zone. Also mint. It will take over.
> Another feature we omit is the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension, which allows a single server to run TLS handshakes on behalf of multiple domains, using multiple public keys.

I don't understand how you can seriously use TLS and privacy in the same headline whilst actively ignoring the mess that is SNI...
I think there's hard to draw boundaries. Small burnishes I think everyone would be okay with a touch-up. But on the other hand large changes people will feel deceived if they meet that person irl. The difficult is in the middle, which is going to have some distribution of perception of deception.

I think this is different than touching up models because we never end up seeing their true form. Though I remember when the fappening happened a lot of people mentioned how they felt better about themselves after seeing these people's true selves.
Well, if some random dude is posting how to do it on YouTube, you can hardly call it a _secure_ system.
Another point that Debt: The First 5000 Years makes that I thought was very interesting - while there's social pressure for everyone to move from being more indebted to less indebted to others, however trying to pay it down to exactly 0 is an anti-social move that implies "I don't need you, don't want to be needed by you and don't want to be in relationship with you any more". He gives examples of societies where you always return gifts with other gifts, but being careful never to return a gift of the exact same type and value. Or of situations where someone pays a parent back for the debt of caring for them as children, and what such an action means.

Indebtedness to each other is the appropriate state of humans in community.
I think people who find it creepy are the ones who rarely if ever use Video Conferencing or FaceTime.

And It would have been creepy if this was coming from anyone else. But knowing this would only be available on FaceTime I don't see what's wrong with it.
The "solution" is choosing your priorities and being willing to make sacrifices, which, in my experience, many people are not willing to do.

"I don't want to be on a censorious megacorporate platform." Great! You can do this, you'll just have to be on the #2 platform rather than the #1 platform, and there won't be as many "free" tools & services. "What?? How can you suggest I abandon the #1 platform? I need all those free tools and services + the exposure of the #1 platform!" :shrug: OK, in that case "free tools and services" & "exposure" are higher priorities to you than user respect, privacy, free expression etc., and you're making the right choice to stay on youtube.

It feels a lot like people want to have their cake and eat it too.

Our (as users) only negotiating leverage with a provider like google is willingness to leave their platforms. If you're are not willing to do that, all this hand-wringing and complaining is just wasted breath as google has ~0 incentive to take your complaints seriously.

Why do you only have one google account?
That's a really dangerous attitude to take. Are you really not curious what your own company is up to? Does it matter where the leak came from?

How about this. Go to google.com and type the following:

"women can"

vs.

"men can"

The bias is clear as day and you don't need Project Veritas to tell you.

There were also numerous documents leaked showing extreme left wing bias. You'll probably have seen them as an employee so it's pretty disingenuous to not address the root point (that Goolge is biased) and instead attack the messenger (Project Veritas in this case).
I agree not everything should be. Which is why people should build more non-profits. And why they shouldn't do a lot of free work for for-profits. But here we are.
> Yes, constant vigilance so that they never regain that position again, as I'm pretty sure they desperately want to.

I doubt Microsoft wants to reign as a dark lord again at the moment - rather, they're attempting to grow their business through use of open technologies, like Google back in the 2000's. Although if any MS products/services become too dominant, I have no doubt that (like any other big company in such a position) they'll fall to the temptation to exploit their dominance for more money and power.

It's not Microsoft that's evil -- it's people and their capacity to be corrupted by inordinate power.
Well, that's kind of my point. Making a superficial aesthetic change doesn't explain what you're actually preferring over JSX. Nor do you seem interested in explaining it.
The MySQL community server can be downloaded from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ the biggest "hoop" is that it asks for an account or registration in big letters, while there is a link to bypass that below the big box.

Alternatively there is http://www.github.com/mysql and contrary to older versions this compiles quite easily if CMake and compilers are around.

(I am on the MySQL engineering team)
I mean, you could just as easily use a real reference for what it would cost.

You can either pay mailchimp, or you can pay your senior developer to set it up for $80/hr.
I'd personally back such a definition of consciousness, and reframe the question more as one of what level of consciousness (eg complexity of processing, breadth of collected inputs) must an entity possess before we consider its consciousness as being meaningful to us.
I figured out how to finally get this to work. For Mac OS, you have to install an old version of the Kindle App. Version 1.23.1 appears to be the last version that downloads AZW3 formatted ebooks that can then be converted to EPUB easily with the DeDRM plugin. All later versions appear to be broken. Also, the Kindle app will silently update to the latest version unless you turn off the auto-update option. I converted all of my paid books to epub and not buying any more through Amazon. This post inspired me to do this before it is too late and the old version is no longer compatible to future OS versions.

Your local auto parts store prices oil lower than a mechanic can get it for, just to bring people in the door to sell them other items.

This is a well known tactic; these items are called "loss leaders". The fact that in this environment other people have successfully made video sharing websites (without a billion dollars, no less) means that the environment is competitive, even with the loss leader tactic.

On TOP of that, "Sharing videos" is not something that is required for civil society. It's an ancillary waste of time, but in no way owed to the public sphere.
From your writing, it sounds like from your perspective there are only two outcomes:

* Unacceptably nanny people

* Do nothing and accept inequality in life, and make no mitigations to prevent it

You have listed a lot of things that you think won't work. What do you think _will_ work, that allows people agency and doesn't require acting as their perpetual nanny?
Don't you recall when we got really close to breaking up microsoft? I mean, in the end we didn't, but we sure did send a lot of _very_ strongly worded letters.

Outside of tech there are a lot of anti-competitive practices that have been left to grow while the cops been off the beat - I'd love to see the Pharma industry shaken up especially with PBM & Manufacturer relationships... additionally, Walmart.
Dismiss PV's analysis if you want. I do the same to some sources.

But it's nonsense to discard a primary source, like that video, because it went through a particular person's hands.

If hypothetically, ThinkProgress (who I do not trust) gets a hidden camera video of Trump talking about his dream of mass-expelling nonwhites from America, I wouldn't just pretend it didn't exist because ThinkProgress is the one who took it. Primary sources are primary sources.
This will be ineffective. Google whitelists many channels by large organizations and they are sheltered from any such reports. If 200k reports came in on the next Microsoft video posted, someone at YouTube might notice, but the video would never be taken down. You should read (as should everyone else) Eric Schmidt's book 'A New Digital Age'. In it he lies out his view. Basically (and obviously this is my perspective, this is the meaning not the language he uses to sell it), because Google is rich, they are Better. The teeming masses of the unwashed must be yolked by their betters. Left to their own devices, the public would destroy themselves and it is the responsibility of Google and other gigacorps to create culture in order to preserve civilization.
"anarcho"-capitalism is not related to the rest of anarchism
Julia "default" behavior (the 'using' keyword) is also importing everything (that is exported on the selected module) to the global namespace, using multiple dispatch to safely assign the optimal implementation of each function for each argument set without clashing. It's not unusual in Julia to have one function with more than a hundred implementations, and the user doesn't need to care which one will be chosen.

Though you can also use 'import' to keep the namespaces separate.
Completely agree that it's very hard to have conversations about implications of consciousness without first having a definition that we can all agree on.

In that line, what do you define as a "closed system"? Technically, nothing exists that doesn't somehow interact with its surroundings. Including humans (we breath, eat, absorb/exchange heat from air/sun, etc). Also black holes (Hawking radiation).
I'd argue any article about "tax havens," that does not include a section on SPVs for insurance and other securities is un-serious agitprop. The "trillions" of dollars of assets registered in these countries is mainly collateral that secures agreements and contracts that yield income that gets taxed in the country where it is ultimately realized.

Writing about these countries without addressing how mainstream financial instruments work should be treated as very revealing.

Because random doesn't look/seem random to humans. The problem is that these players aren't randomizing the order of the songs, they are randomizing the next chosen song.

You'll want to shuffle the entire playlist at once; or use a player that attempts to avoid this issue (Winamp would let you bias the RNG to choose songs further away from the current one, for example). If you decide on the latter, there is always the chance that you'll hear repetition, because repetition is valid in random sequences.
I wish I knew more about the specifics of the hardware differences. Thinkpads are new to me. I just discovered the Thinkpad subreddit several days ago, so accidental sub-community of old Thinkpad folks, but haven't dove into the details of hardware upgrades (like IPS screen!).

I was looking for a cheap replacement to my Samsung R580, and found that T420 laptop online on eBay. It had good specs and was priced well (I had to order a new battery that came in today). Originally, I was thinking if it didn't work out, it would hold me over until I decided what higher end would work better (like Matebook or Dell XPS), but the T420 seems to be alright for me. The keyboard is incredible.

Firefox does get sluggish with like 20+ tabs open though. I did start making modifications to it based off https://www.privacytools.io/browsers/ so may that helps (disabling canvas, webrtc, tracking, etc)

I didn't notice anymore delay than normal on other machines, browsers take a bit to start up, but I didn't time it. It is just a perceived speed.

The speed isn't insane or what may be called super fast, but for $200, nothing is slow for me. I mostly live in terminals and browser, and now with Zim.
Even for the bits you send, although TLS1.3 includes support for record padding, it's not mandatory. In practice, both Content-Length finger-printing attacks and traffic analysis attacks work against TLS1.3.

Who said they were getting taken down? Are we over-reacting here?
I think this is the point that the poster is trying to make. They’re saying it’s difficult to declare something conscious or not using exact criteria.

A popular definition (in my experience) is the existence of a central nervous system, but we don’t really know whether or not that’s responsible for consciousness. I wonder if we’ll ever know for sure.
You can self-host PeerTube and decide what content you want to share, i.e. you can share only your own videos while still being federated.

The thing that a lot of these articles miss—probably because it doesn’t matter at all to bean-counters—is personalization. The idea of spending all day tapping away at a laptop keyboard makes my wrists ache thinking about it, and the idea of being limited to a laptop display is pretty bad too. A real desk with a real keyboard (and no keyboard is one-size-fits-all!) and a real display is key to productivity, and wholly missing from all of these “just work from a couch/phone booth/privacy pod/hot desk” designs. People need individuality in their workspace equipment, to say nothing of the ability to personalize their environment to make it human with things like pictures and plants. The inability to claim any part of the work environment as uniquely yours is dehumanizing, and only serves to make people less attached. If companies want people to be attached to their employers (whether or not they actually should be), they might try harder to make the workplace less generic and depersonal.
To extend that; Mein Kampf has extremely relevant historical significants. It's important to understand the mind of your enemy. Not listening to what they have to say does nothing to stop their actions, it only makes you non-privy and less able to identify similar behavior in other individuals.
Article should definitely have at least made passing mention of fire risk, which is an important concern in many places.
Both of those exercises have progressions from variants that anyone can do. Like knee pushups where you don't go all the way down. I'd still call that a pushup exercise, and it's the first step to helping your cuffs apparently.
Historically, the free or cheap student licenses were believed to pay them back when those students moved into industry and were inclined to install what they were familiar with. There's still a lot of MATLAB in college teaching curricula.

Part of when I help on-board newly graduated colleagues (typically engineers and scientists, not hired as programmers) is to reassure them that they can get a MATLAB license if will help them get productive quickly. This has happened once or twice. Many of them never bother, as they get busy enough with CAD and basic design work, that they don't really find a use for scientific computation. But to an increasing extent, they're willing to make the hop to Python, possibly just because it's a popular buzzword, but in any event, they are able to get themselves up to speed pretty quickly.
I'd take that over a Tesla any day.

Once you learn where the buttons are you can control them without taking your eyes off the road. That looks like most cards other than a Tesla.

That's not a true statement. R has packages for a wide variety of fields--statistics is just the most well developed.

And an important aspect of scientific computation is data visualization, an area in which R is decidedly more advanced than other languages.
Disk images, which is how a lot of mac software is distributed also use this feature.
Quantum mechanics is not so much unified with classical physics as it is more precise description of part of physics that degrades to clasical physics when you adjust parameters to get less detail.

Same way GR is more precise description of ANOTHER part of classical physics that reduces to classical physics if you adjust some parameters.

There's really no reason that GR should share with quantum model much more math than the simplest mathematical operations.

Why unify GR with quantum and not for example fluid dynamics?

GR and quantum field theory for me just describe completely different parts of physics.

Sure it would be neat to know how world behaves when neither GR nor quantum is sufficient to predict what will happen but I just think it's way more likely that unified theory will be quantum model with relativistic terms not the quantum description of gravity.

> I semi-regularly backpack through unmarked wilderness with no navigation

If this were true, you'd be lost. I'm including things like "keep the mountains on your left" in the category of "navigation".

The people complaining about forests are correct in that regard -- in a forest, you can't see the mountains, the sun, or the stars, and getting lost, unless you have very good training in forest navigation, is pretty much inevitable. (If there's a river, you _can_ still see that.)
> The government (at various levels) should certainly have a role in ensuring a healthy population.

this is an opinion. to the extent that the government publishes nutrition recommendations or information, it should of course be accurate, but I really don't want to see what the government actively "ensuring" my health looks like.
Well, I do know that infinite wires aren't practically reproducible.

In physics people talk about measuring single electrons all the time. Electrons can be counted with tabletop equipment made with home-like budget. You can easily add them to up to trillions, what is far from a Coulomb, but still a practical amount of them.

Except the activist press only cares about their side. If you're censoring anything they don't like or critical of them, they will shower you with praise.

They will actually cheer at Google to ban more. Just wait until a US President, British PM, or other leader they like is in power - they'll beg Google to merge with the government.

That is indeed key for restricting running a profitable business - but google could really build demand and public support by running these at a loss. If they're on the streets and commonly visible then they'll quickly be accepted as reality.
Several european banks are also having issues with their login sites and online services. Backends are working though. I know, it's far fetched to throw them in the same bucket, and I won't, but it feels like there is happening some kind of reorganization on the net, which in the worst case would be some kind of global state-sponsored MITM-layer getting set up, maybe to prepare for new techs like 5G and TLS1.3.
I'd say it's uninformed for a completely different reason. Look at the bios of the Go authors. "Out of touch with established programming language research"? Seriously?

"Making different choices than you would have" != "out of touch with research" - especially when they know the research better than you do!
Love this way of framing the subject.

Following that line of reasoning, you could say that even the smallest particle/bit of energy has some level of consciousness.

Then you could also say that Earth (and any planet or star), is also conscious, and at a way higher level than we (humans) are.
