you said you work in a corporate context, right?

let's take an example that's not too far-fetched: legal comes and says that every month, you need to generate an report of some sort to comply with some regulation that corporations over a certain size must comply with.

you sit down and run v1 of the software which works but takes 24 hours to run. is your first instinct to get infuriated, as you said, even though from a requirements/company perspective, this is completely "done right"?

"the issue" is that changing software involves risks, which may be acceptable to you, but may not be acceptable to e.g. legal. they couldn't care less if it took 29 days to run or 29 ms. what they require - again, this is the requirement - is a monthly report generated, correctly.

and yeah, 99 times out of 100 you change the SQL correctly and it runs in 1/1000 of the time the first time. then for whatever reason it messes up one month and legal asks "what the F was this guy doing mucking around with this software which worked 'right'"?

"Q: Will there be a version for Android and iOS?
A: No, because there would be no point: very few – if any – mobile devices are powerful enough to even theoretically run SpaceEngine."

The A1980 should meet the minimum requirements but I wouldn't expect to be fast or high quality by any means.
In Europe, tipping is not necessary to make a living wage. Yet tipping is still quite common. But it's more in the nature of rounding up than the US' approach.

those parts that I've been to or lived in.
In general, I agree with the government stance that "warrant proof" communication is not in the best interests of US citizens. I believe that there is some precedent and established law that can be built upon to provide a compromise that allows for encryption to remain a strong privacy tool for society but one that does not hinder the state from lawful access.

I believe that the US should establish a court similar to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court created under the FISA Act. The government must make a case to a judge establishing probable cause, and if approved a warrant can be issued to a 3rd party communications provider to disable encryption on suspected devices such that lawful interception (i.e wiretap) can be executed.

Warrants are subject to renewal every 90 days and access to encrypted communications prior to the date of warrant approval and not provided by the platform specified in the warrant are prohibited (ie, obtaining a warrant to disable and intercept WhatsApp does not mean you can disable and intercept Signal as well).

I believe this balances the interests of individuals, governments and communication providers evenly.
That simply isn’t true at all. There are plenty of unused or underused highways and bridges in China that made a few red families lots of money.

It’s fascinating to me that some people think corruption in China is lower than the USA. Not even the Chinese would make such a claim.
Many experts are just preachers in different attire. Honestly, should we really listen to scientist who gets labeled experts based non replicable studies? The problem is that all of them gets the same doctors titles but only some of them are doing honest research, and our current society has no good way to deal with this. As a result laymen notice that significant parts of science is pure bullshit, no wonder there are trust issues!
In the intellectual field it's a far more of a left-wing based issue than right-wing. Universities in the US have skewed left for a longtime. Which has meant they are hit the hardest when it comes to the eat-your-own outrage culture engulfing the American left.
>The issue is that physical properties are by their nature relational, dispositional properties. That is, they describe the way that something is related to other things

Author neglects to mention that this may apply to everything except the universe itself.

>Something in the universe has to have some kind of quality in and of itself to give all the other relational/dispositional properties any meaning. Something has to get the ball rolling.

The "something" may be the universe, i.e. its total wave function. Occam's Razor suggests looking for simple explanations rather than assuming the existence of things not detectable.

Could the universe itself be conscious? Making such a claim would seem to make the author's argument a tautology.
A hard-to-capture cost factor is keeping highly used services operational or replaced while doing work on it. A super-fancy new subway with lots of stations in Shenzhen where people weren't already taking trains and expecting to use stations for their daily commute will be much cheaper than disrupting a line service to open a new station in London or New York City. Replacement bus bridge services, network-wide service advisories, staff and enforcement training, are all costs that are not easy to quantify or justify because it doesn't directly manifest in the construction of the infrastructure.

Of course there are other factors that vary a lot across cultures:

* China's heavy-handed governmental decision-making leaves no room for inefficiencies via neighborhood antagonism towards the constructions or zoning;

* Car culture differences create different magnitudes of popular roadblocks to investment in non-automobile infrastructure, which can result in large expenditures on lobbying and campaigning;

* Significantly more arbitrary middlemen making their way into the process because of "let the market figure it out" does, in fact, create some process inefficiencies in supply chains and contract pipelines. Few countries are as aggressively market-based for things meant for public good as the US.
You're not really answering the question here, you're just stating fairly vague goals. I guess I should be more specific: Do you have a good featureset for support inboxes (such as Assignees, internal notes, open/closed requests, ticket merging, product teams with auto categorization for different email/Twitter accounts, ...) or would using Missive for support inboxes be more of a hack?

Don't kid yourself, there are people getting rich on those china projects.
I don’t fully buy that we can’t work this out. The author gives examples of how it’s difficult to compare, but what those examples show is that yes, to compare properly you need to go very deep on some parts to find out why design decisions were made the way they were. This may be more time consuming and cost more but it’s doable.

One other thing we might try is to set aside a hundred billion dollars for a half dozen key “trial” or “learning” projects, and see if we can get some of the agencies from say Japan and France and Spain to execute those projects so we can learn how they do it differently. And they can show up all the things (regulations, interference, etc) that they encounter here that would be different to back home.

In the scheme of things it’s cheap, we still get infrastructure out of it, and it’s one sure way to learn.

May be this is just too much cynicism but isn't it possible the GAO just failed to do what it was supposed to do and is offering that paragraph as a poor way to explain away their failure?

The trend of it being more expensive in the US is a real, statistically determinable fact. That hints there are structural reasons for it. They should at least give a stab at it rather than throwing up their hands and claiming there's nothing they can do.

Yes, of course. Deaf people use their visual sense instead of hearing. Blind people have a keen hearing, this is something similar.

One example: my wife and I realized that we are a lot more able to read the mood of our children by just looking at them than hearing parents. We just "see through" our children.
Re: OIDC providers: to be clear, you absolutely can just parse the JWT. I'm saying that (up until recently, if memory serves) e.g. the GSuite documentation told you that while you can validate a token, that's hard, and instead you can just hit this HTTPS API and we'll tell you what's in it.

Turkey's GDP peaked at $950 billion in 2013, just before Erdogan became president. By 2017, it had slid to $850 billion, and after the intellectual purges, slid to just $766 billion in 2018. [1]

People may argue from ideology for or against politics like these, but I can think of no clearer indication of these policies' failure than the impoverishing of a country.

Words are just data. Are there illegal combinations of words to exchange? The law says, YES. Some speech is absolutely illegal, including making credible death threats, conspiring to break other laws, or disclosing certain state secrets to foreign powers.

Very few people argue that since words are easily available to everyone, that it is futile to make some combinations of words illegal.
Aspartame Still Hasn’t Been Proven Safe to Eat, Say Scientists
Many people want to keep the very concept and system of tips in place because it affords them power over someone:

https://theoutline.com/post/4602/the-restaurant-industry-is-...

>“Money is power,” said Brooklyn-based waitress Marisa Licandro. “If the customer is paying my wage, they have power over me. And customers having power over you means that you can’t speak against them when they try to grab you.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/03/11/business/tipp...

>There was the waitress in Portland, Ore., Whitney Edmunds, who swallowed her anger when a man patted his lap and beckoned her to sit, saying, “I’m a great tipper.”

https://jezebel.com/what-does-tipping-have-to-do-with-sex-an...

>And his go-to line was so predictable, we would wait for it, anticipate it. “I always tip way more than twenty percent!”

>If that was the case, why were these guys so mad about paying only 18%, far less than they otherwise would? What was it about not choosing the amount they tipped, that infuriated them, even when they were getting a discount?

>It had to be at least partially about lack of control. Or, more accurately, lack of imagined control. This guy thought that, in a tipped environment, his server would perform better in order to get more of his money. That idea is false, as shown both by repeated studies and common sense, but that was irrelevant. His anger could not be redeemed by mere facts.
How is a single person responsible for that?

I think the English rule that "I" has to be capitalized is stupid. Do I go off on you for perpetrating such a disgraceful custom?
I don't think that addresses the problem set out in the post. Other, non-cooperative third-party systems need to be able to parse the JSON blob as is.
I agree with you on that. Roads help the enemy too. I grew up in rural northern Georgia and hope I can make it home to live in the woods if shit ever goes down.
That's a huge over-reaction.

One reason Facebook came to dominate over older social networks was that they provided much, much better user privacy controls, they were better at keeping fake users off their networks and they kept the site more secure. Before Facebook social networks didn't have APIs and thus didn't have permissions - everything just scraped the (always public) profile pages.

Moreover many of the things they're being rapped for here aren't even betraying user trust. I believe the only time they've ever asked for passwords for third party services is to import friend lists. That's a useful and optional feature. If a mail provider doesn't have an OAuth style API, how else is it meant to work?

I know everyone has decided it's cool to bash Facebook because they're big and use advertising. But when I look at the actions of the FTC here, I wonder how on earth such trivial things turned into such a huge fine. Advertising doesn't kill anyone, and targeted advertising is much preferable to the noisy punch-the-monkey type of barrel scraping ads the internet used to be filled with. If they use a phone number to better target ads to me (presumably regionally) how is this any different to using my IP address? At worst it means I see more local businesses. Yeah, if they'd had some small print somewhere, a few people would have cared. Most wouldn't and we know this because they use WhatsApp which already gives Facebook your phone number. Big deal?

I just can't get worked up about these trivial "evils" that mostly exist for my own convenience, or which are irrelevant given the set of services me and all my friends use i.e. Facebook gets the same data anyway voluntarily. Why am I the only one?
Unfortunately, I can’t think of any. Twitter could arbitrarily change where those elements are placed in the DOM at any time (and they probably will to prevent other extensions from blocking promoted tweets). I would just consider this out of the scope of your project and not bother handling it.

I sort of agree, but human willingness to attribute agency to physical objects (the willingness of the wind to blow, the rains to come, the sun to rise etc.) makes me doubt even quite strong versions of the turing test persay. I'd belive that a robot that managed to live a life in society and could make me feel that it was human like in a conversation was conscious; I think I would want it to have rights and protections.
I like the idea, and the interface looks good so far. However—and I know this may not be a popular opinion—if I can’t self-host it, it’s a non-starter. The sorts of stuff that get discussed in our internal meetings would be the stuff of nightmares if it were dumped from an online service: project planning, root cause analysis, vendor comparisons, code reviews, you name it. It’d be a very tough sell to put that in the hands of a third party.
If encouraging voting is electioneering then surely withholding information about voting is as well.

And if "go vote" is a threat to democracy then I shudder to think of what newspaper endorsements, superpac advertisements and opinion news channels are. Heck, election day isn't a federal holiday so flexible work hours (which favor the professional class and therefore Republicans) must be a conspiracy to sway elections!

It's baffling that anybody takes this seriously.
But we don't know that we can't ever possibly test consciousness, we just don't know how to test it yet.

Before Archimedes, the problem of determining the purity of a golden crown was intractable. Archimedes' solution was not arrived at by brute force concentrating on the problem, but rather by an epiphany (leading to the famous story of him shouting "Eureka" and running out of the house naked). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eureka_(word)#Archimedes

It's possible that someday someone like Archimedes will realize a way to test consciousness, and it'll be something ridiculously simple (like Archimedes' submerging the crown in water and seeing how much water it displaces), and we'll all kick ourselves for not thinking of it first :)
It doesn't exactly. I think this quote really clarifies what the article is trying to discuss:

> While physical properties cannot explain consciousness, consciousness is needed to explain physical properties.

If consciousness is (and, yes, qualia are) how we perceive reality, how can we define consciousness based on observation? It would be like trying to use a telescope to capture an image of itself.

If "consciousness comes first" that means that consciousness contains reality, not visa-versa.

Can't you ask for a key fob OTP code generator device? Employees who work at sensitive client sites in many cases wouldn't be allowed to connect their phones to the Internet and may have restrictions placed on the usage of it. A separate hardware key generator (which is really a second factor) could possibly help (depending on the situation and need).
The funny thing about calling it "asset flip" is that at the same time they were adamant that what matters is gameplay rather than the graphics.

Once with my hosts, I took care of the dining bill myself. Just when I thought I figured it all out, they’re like “oh, that was the owner of the restaurant with the cheque at the end, you really don’t have to give him a tip”.

D’oh.
Ideas like this which are politically charged but plausible explanations also square with the GAO's failure to make a satisfactory report. Perhaps certain interests tugged on people which tugged on others and ended up watering down the GAO's report. If it weren't true, at the very least the report could dispell/falsify the notion that widespread corruption were to blame. But instead, we get neither.
I would be interested to hear your thoughts on PASETO, which I increasingly see as a replacement for JWT -- I just haven't had a chance to use it in production yet, myself.

I often use inline images in emails, for the same reason I put images inline in other writing. I recently wrote an email summarizing some debugging I had done so someone else could pick it up. It looked like:

text describing steps

image of graph
link to graph source

more text

another graph
link to graph source

etc

We're all using email clients that display messages like this well, and it makes communicating complex ideas much faster.

I'd give up HTML email if I could still have format=flowed and inline images, but that's not what's on offer.

> the second option is basically the government's position

The second option is the government's ostensible position. But you seem to have forgotten the central point of my argument which is that the government is not trustworthy. Just because the government says that it will only use its decryption keys when it has a warrant, history shows that the government cannot be trusted to keep its word on matters like this. The government does end-runs around Constitutional rights regularly. Therefore, the power to enforce the Constitution's constraints on government action cannot be entrusted to the government. It must remain with the people.

I wonder why we believe that the evolution that has equiped us to be conscious and to wonder about consciousness (which I think is probably part of the deal of consciousness) has provided us with minds and languages that can understand or discuss it? In fact, it seems quite likely that being able to understand consciousness has no evolutionary value at all!
