Indeed, Massachusetts has the oldest constitution still in force in North America (older than the US federal constitution). People mostly felt loyalty to their own state and that was one reason for opposition to the v2 national constitution, even when it was clear the v1 articles were inadequate.

Even so, they are united States (as opposed to, say, Australia where the so-called "states" are for all intents and purposes merely administrative subdivisions of the continent, and could be remade by passing a law in the federal parliament)

>Otherwise there would be no point in such projects as node-keytar.

On Windows, the DPAPI (which node-keytar uses) does not protect against physical access. Here's a nifty GUI tool that is easily found with Google: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/dpapi_data_decryptor.html

On Windows, DPAPI may protect you against unprivileged code execution, but it will not protect you against a privileged RCE or someone physically mounting your unencrypted hard drive.

I'm not sure what the state of the art in Linux or OS X's keychain is, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't try to protect against that threat vector as well.
>“Feinberg and Mallatt concluded that only vertebrates, arthropods, and cephalopods possess the threshold brain structure for consciousness.

The relationship betwen brain structure and consciousness is so poorly understood that this statement is basically idiotic. We know various ways to affect consciousness in humans. For example, using blunt force or drugs. However, we have no understanding at all of any mechanisms by which matter gives rise to consciousness and we cannot even be sure that matter does give rise to consciousness. And we have no way to evaluate the relationship between matter and consciousness in non-human entities like plants that do not communicate to us in any understandable (to us) way about their consciousness or lack of it.

It often amazes me how many people are highly advanced in their own technical fields but fail to grasp the hard problem of consciousness - something that can be understood by a bright kid.
You want YouTube to be one way, but it's the other way.

Protest.
Boycott.
Build alternatives.

This is how you fight corrupt corporations. It makes no sense to force YouTube to host all content for free. YouTube is a video entertainment business, it's not insulin or a house. Again, it's a video entertainment site. It is wholly unimportant in reality.

The only power YouTube has is the power society willingly gives it by visiting the website. Society needs to take responsibility for its own browser history.

The more this metaphor is fleshed out the more it sounds like it's referring to civilization in general and how ancient cities/city-states actually operated (to some level of similarity).

Build a city, invite people in, tax them and rule them, and destroy or absorb every rival you can get away with. Have technology or resources your competitor doesn't have? Sucks to be them.

I guess I'm not that surprised that even though we can collectively build better systems for ourselves after time and lots of understanding where the alternatives lead us, our nature shows itself in various other areas.
Boeing Engineer on Heroin Robbed 30 Banks in Just One Year
Nah, it's the student (and parent) pool, mostly, I reckon. Selection bias, essentially. The bad lockdown-over-threats-of-violence-every-week sorts around here pay better than the good schools, by a large margin (they get more grants and such). The problem's the lockdown-over-threats-of-violence-every-week, not the money, and fixing that's a much, much bigger (and more expensive) problem than just evening out school funding. Goes like that on a sliding scale, middle-tier schools will also have a harder-to-teach population though may not be so obviously bad as the ones that are real wrecks. Usually a ton more English-as-a-second-language.

Some actual variety among the good schools where some truly are better, but the vast majority of the difference across the whole spectrum is selection bias, if we're talking graduation rates, college entrance outcomes, test scores, that kind of thing. All the usual measures.

[EDIT] point is, the main thing you're paying for is for your kid to be around other kids whose parents could also afford to pay more for housing, plus keep a couple cars running regularly to handle the commute, and so on, whatever the barriers happen to be for the district/schools in question.

Your claims are legally dubious at best. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrink_wrap_contract

“One line of cases follows ProCD v. Zeidenberg which held such contracts enforceable (see, e.g., Bowers v. Baystate Technologies[2]) and the other follows Klocek v. Gateway, Inc., which found the contracts at hand unenforceable (e.g., Specht v. Netscape Communications Corp.[3]), but did not comment on shrink wrap contracts as a whole.”

I tried openbsd in my thinkpad x220. IDK if the processor only make a huge difference (mine being core i3 2.1ghz), but what I saw was a slow system experience, opening firefox for the first time (after boot) took a decade. I would experience slugishness everytime I closed a tab. And I was using cwm which is supposed to be even more lightweight than xfce4. I'm upgrading my motherboard to have the same processor as the author, maybe I will give another shot.
There seems to be a predisposition toward consciousness as a property of nervous systems, or biological systems.

in speculation perhaps the concept of consciousness as an emergent property of physical systems should be explored.
if consciousness is dependent on persistence of a quantum mechanism it is possible for consciousness to exist as a result of any sufficiently spanning rule parsing interactions; And i'll just leave this right here;

What is a new use-cases that React brought in, that couldn't be replicated with plain old JavaScript?

Browser capabilities are game-changers, not a tech stack that runs on top of them. I don't need React or Angular or Node or whatever to make use of them. I can use those capabilities with plain old Java Servlets and JavaScript.

React is a shiny new jQuery - that's all it is. WebAssembly, Canvas, WebRTC, etc. those are something different. Those enable new use cases.
You can set that up with Foobar 2000 if your albums are correctly tagged. It's also one of the few players I've met that gives you a "middle choice" of randomly picking albums, but playing the albums themselves start to finish.

"Race conditions of threads with shared memory parallelism" - yes you can avoid those in JS, the "yield" points are obvious in all code (await). Although its there if you need it (SharedArrayBuffer)

Regarding whether its hard or not, yes, I have some first-hand (non-Rust) experience.

On second thought I agree with your original point. Node isn't great for CPU-efficient + multithreaded. But

* most platforms aren't (either not great because unsafe, non-cpu-efficient or both)
* most of the time its not what you really need.

So a good question would be, what would you use shared memory parallelism for in typical back-end programming?

When I grew up, we had a few wild/forest areas, a few flower areas, and the rest we mowed and didn't spray.

There was grass in the mowed area, but also many, many other plants and insects. It was wonderful, as was the forest.

I find pure grass lawns very bland and unnatural, and in no way superior to a trimmed lawn with whatever plants happen to be growing. And you can have wilder areas too.

Perhaps you didn't mean 100% grass lawns, but that seems to be what a lot of American lawns aim for.

I haven't read NVC, but I am peripherally familiar. I would say that the two are only related so far as they are books about communication; for people who only read sci-fi, this might seem to be apples and apples... NVC is prescriptive while DC is about developing a greater understanding of intent and the motivations behind our words.

I was about to summarize, but instead, I'm going to copy and paste from the web:

----

Difficult conversations are anything that someone does not want to talk about, such as asking for a raise or complaining to a neighbor about his barking dog. People are usually reluctant to open a difficult conversation out of fear of the consequences. Typically, when the conversation does occur the parties think and feel a lot more than they actually say.

Underlying every difficult conversation are actually three deeper conversations. The "What happened?" conversation usually involves disagreement over what happened, what should happen, and who is to blame. The feelings conversation is about the parties' emotions, and their validity. The identity conversation is an internal conversation that each party has with herself, over what the situation tells her about who she is. The authors identify common errors that people make in these sorts of conversations. The key to having effective, productive conversations is to recognize the presence of these deeper conversations, avoid the common errors, and turn difficult conversations into learning conversations.

----

My favourite example is a scenario in which you have been consistently working late and missing dinner - and your partner is pissed. You feel tired and angry that your hard work is unappreciated and that they are just adding to your frustrations. This is roughly where most couples would fight.

The book helps you understand that when your partner is angry that you've missed dinner... well, unless you've been wasting away of a nutritional disease, they aren't concerned that you're hungry. They feel lonely and disrespected. They are aware that in the early days of a relationship, all of the demons in hell couldn't have kept you away... so what's changed? They are worried for the future of your relationship. They are worried that they've been replaced, physically or emotionally.

And part of this is the questions you have to ask yourself; is your partner correct to be concerned? Has something intangible changed? Am I hiding and using work as a cover?

After reading the book, I had powerful new tools to understand and correct the problem. Which is a big deal because these sorts of problems happen all of the freaking time. And if I can make even some of the problems in my life resolve faster with a better outcome, then I'm truly winning.

Honestly, the book was so powerful for me that when I finished, my primary emotion was anger at myself. I suddenly had to confront the idea that most of the major problems and conflicts in my life had been far more my fault than I'd ever considered... and that if I'd done some simple things differently eg. thought about what someone was really saying, there are people gone from my life that might have otherwise still been there today.

> Creators need to get off YT, and onto something else if it exists.

It does now! I'm currently in the process of launching a content-host agnostic platform for creators.

Basically, MyNexus is a platform to share content with your audience, highlight your preferred avenues for support (eg. Patreon or PayPal), and run promotions (whether your own products or sponsorships).

MyNexus doesn't host any of the content itself. You can still upload your videos to Youtube, Vimeo, Peertube, or any other service. Need to shift to a different platform later? No problem. Simply edit your post and your entire content catalogue is preserved without any inconvenience to your audience.

Nice to see this feature. A few months ago I made a demo app for my own personal use which did this exact thing, just to see if it would work. As I was still learning AR at the time, I didn’t fully understand the API well enough and I just had a point cloud with loads of holes in it, but it still showed it worked, and made me wonder why Apple hadn’t already done it.

It's not trivial but it's also not an order of magnitude more difficult anymore, as you describe it. There is a reason why Kubernetes gets a lot of backing from corporate customers - precisely because it hides and abstracts most of the underlying infrastructure and provides platform-agnostic primitives that make sense at the application level.

Once you have deployed your stack on Kubernetes, you can pretty much run it on any cloud or infrastructure with minor tweaks at most.

This relies on the assumption that the authors model of consciousness is "correct" for lack of a better term. If you accept this model, then we should be able to agree on this conclusion, but it's not like this is the only model of consciousness out there. This is just one model of one type of consciousness that we think we can agree on. The truth is, we don't know that plants aren't conscious, just that if they are, they don't use the same mechanisms to experience it. It's like saying that life is impossible on a planet without carbon. It's possible that silicon based life exists it there somewhere, we've just never directly observed it.

Why even bring in the "systemic oppression" part? I can only assume that they'll be more lenient on disparaging comments that don't reinforce "systemic oppression", i.e. they'll apply "positive discrimination", otherwise it makes no sense to include such an expression in the CoC.

I refuse to participate in any project that discriminates people based on their personal traits, that includes "positive discrimination".

Being a brain in a vat doesn't imply much though. I mean, you can't assume someone has lobbed your head of and crudely crammed it into a jar of formaldehyde. For all anyone knows, you're in The Matrix instead. So unless we constrain the problem, there's no more reason to assume it is torture than there is to assume it is euphoria.

As such, there are no implication to being a brain in a vat other than the fact that you don't experience the outside world. It says nothing about what you do experience. And it certainly does not imply permanent damage in the same way that death does.

I am unaware of any governments that provide wewillhostyourvideos.gov, as to the question of mediums... it's a delicate balance. It is very logical that the government doesn't need to support everyone's ability to paint their opinions on a forty foot canvas with premium oil paints, but I think video based (and even more specifically that vlog/video essay form that has emerged recently) is a way that people feel naturally suites their self expression, if it isn't heinously expensive to support them expressing in that manner then I think we (as a society) benefit a lot from supporting their expression in that form.
MailChimp has gone super crappy. It's not just the pricing (the whole "we charge for subscribers who aren't active" thing is just pure underhand profiteering) but the damn UI is an absolute clusterf* too. Finding anything (forms, automation, even the last email you sent) is just awful. I get the "groovy interface with scribbled cartoon" thing in some instances but dammit sometimes you just need to do stuff easily and quickly rather than being wowed by how clever and groovy a company is being with their design.

IMO they've gone from "do one thing well" to "do all the things badly". I've gone from being lifelong MC advocate to someone who is looking for an alternative for our clients.

Right now I'm liking MailerLite. It's like MailChimp used to be when it was good.
