My gut instinct is that the mob might be a (potentially significant) factor here. I could be wrong, but this is their bread an butter after all: bribe politician to get large-scale infrastructure project and then artificially inflate costs (false purchase orders, buying materials from companies they operate in amounts that are far in excess or what's required and not actually shipping them, etc.) so that they can siphon away tax dollars.

Before we make a report on how our costs differ from other G20 countries, how about a report on how our costs differ from ourselves 100 years ago.

In 1900 it took four years to lay nine miles of subway in NYC. The second ave tunnel was just a couple miles and under construction for 12 years.

That's just an example. It also took longer to build the new Eastern span of the Bay Bridge than it took to build the whole bridge.

I think we should start by figuring out why these things happen.

> No, Science simply hasn't FOUND the way to talk about it in physical terms which I personally believe in time we will.

Sure, but that's a largely useless belief.

People don't put enough value on the usefulness of a belief. They seem to think it is all about what is true from a data perspective, but truth is only valuable as both thought AND action, with emphasis on action over thought. Example:

- If you think gravity exists but don't behave as if it exists, you're gonna have a bad time because you will probably fall off a cliff, even though you're right about gravity in theory.

- If you don't think that gravity exists, but still behave as if gravity exists, you'll be alright because you won't fall off a cliff, even though you're wrong about gravity in theory.

If dualist thinking helps someone achieve the goals of a psychologist or therapist, then dualist thinking is more valuable than just waiting around for science to fill a gap it may never fill. And just because someone adopts a dualist perspective today doesn't mean they can't reject it tomorrow. There's no rule saying you have to believe the same thing your entire life. So if science comes up with a better explanation, the dualists can adapt then.
It's worth noting the massive incentive for a company to push the narrative that "One more big financial hit and we'll be gone! All those jobs destroyed!" - in the build up to what is obviously going to be a massive fine by a regulator that can be politically influenced. Boeing will be using every avenue it can to spread fear about what would happen if they get hit too hard by regulators.

What good is my imagination as a tool for measuring consciousness?

Years ago I’d have a hard time imagining RESnet.

I see what you’re going for, if I really try to imagine it my brain starts ascribing consciousness to it. But that’s my point. I ascribe it due to intutition, not reason. Nothing about my intuition gives me a solid argument for why your bot must be conscious, it only evokes an intuitive feel that it would be.
I guess because you're only not paying sales tax on the tip portion of the payment - so if the sales tax is say 10%, your bill was a $100 and you left a $10 tip, you're only saving $1 on the sales tax.
The third side of the coin:

* How many processes aren't executed more often because they are inconvenient? How much less efficient does this make the org?

* How much is index fear driven by 20th century hardware cost?

Anecdata:

In a prior job, I worked at a nonprofit that partially shares a CRM codebase with another ~30 peers. I cut query runtime 10x with a few indexes. I cut query write-time similarly by writing a few denormalized SQL views. The cost on CRUD transactions was marginal.

These queries drove mailings, marketing efforts, financial reporting, PowerBI dashboards, etc. Our peer organizations that used the out-of-the-box query tool favored SSRS reports for the same functionality, which meant that reporting was less flexible and more expensive to maintain. I can't prove causality but I believe query ease-of-use made a big difference.
Sure maybe from a philosophical point of argument consciousness trumps all and physical existence and objective external reality should be viewed through that lense. But every single particle has a worldline tracing back to the Big Bang, where there were no conscious beings present yet. Only until the universe cooled and became less dense did consciousness become possible. So can consciousness really claim supremacy over external reality. To do so would require retroactivity or bootstrapping. Unless you accept the idea of a timeless universe where no point on a worldline (or collection of worldlines) is privileged, and now is a statistical reality more than anything in that there are more collections of worldlines with consciousnesses when the universe is relatively evenly made up of dark energy and regular matter+energy (highest amount observers compared to much closer or much further from Big Bang).

The flow of time may be a subjective illusion.
Do you have a cheaper tier for people that are sole-proprietors or have only a handful of transactions a month?

I don't think so, because to Chalmers it's an epiphenomenon, and so has no influence on the outside world. Only our minds experience consciousness, but as an epiphenomenon it doesn't influence our behaviour one bit, so to Chalmers, we might actually not even have consciousness and are simply deluded in thinking we do.

Exclamations of "but I know I'm conscious!" would mirror exactly those of a p-zombie who wasn't conscious.

Why we are withdrawing the NHS Common User Interface
Christian mystical theology has never had a problem with the god of the gaps argument. It's always postulated that God was something so utterly alien from us (prior to time itself!) that we can know him only through revelation. The nature of God lies in the realm of the unknown, for our finite minds cannot grasp the infinite. Knowledge of God is given only through experience and his grace. What has been revealed is logic-defying and mind-bending, although it has a certain paternicity of its own.

Whether the God of the Gaps points you towards atheism or theism depends on your concept of the unknown. If you think of it as a fixed sized bucket of things gradually trending towards zero due to the effort of science, then you are an atheist. If you think of the unknown as practically limitless in size and our process of discovery as barely scratching the surface, then you are pointed towards theism. Generally, materialists trend towards the former and phenomenologists towards the latter.
I am on Google Fi network with ~35 Mbps of download speed on LTE. The overall speed on interaction within the app is slow. For example: When I click on Route Options to select "Avoid tolls" I always end up clicking on something else because the UI lag is almost always there on interactions. And the new features such as "Start AR" never opens for me and app crashes on that feature.
Facebook revenue beats estimates; discloses antitrust probe
"Includes an additional $2.0 billion legal expense related to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) settlement and a $1.1 billion income tax expense due to the developments in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner, as discussed below. As the FTC expense is not expected to be tax-deductible, it had no effect on our provision for income taxes. Excluding these expenses, our operating margin would have been 12 percentage points higher, our effective tax rate would have been 30 percentage points lower and our diluted EPS would have been $1.08 higher."

This accounts for more than the difference YoY. In other words, without these, net income would have actually grown
To points 1 and 2: It's proven very difficult to sanitize datasets in a way that ensures anonymity, but doesn't render it useless. You aren't the first to think of these kinds of transformations.

There are problems with Point 3: we're continually surprised with how effectively smart people can identify people in datasets expected to be 'safe'. You've also not accounted for that a collection of non-identifying attributes may become identifying.

That said, the GDPR is largely about prohibiting unnecessary data collection, in the spirit of Point 3. Hopefully it'll help at least a little.
This seems solely because of the recent fines: "Includes an additional $2.0 billion legal expense related to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) settlement and a $1.1 billion income tax expense due to the developments in Altera Corp. v.

> or to expire

Add an expiry time to your signed payload. Tokens can have metadata.

> If the server generates the token, and all it's effectively doing is verifying that the client has the correct token

I think you might be understanding "token" as the API tokens that are just a random bunch of bytes that are later matched to authenticate like they were a password (let's call them "passtokens", I don't know if they have a name).

Tokens can be far broader than that. For example, JWTs contain arbitrary data. Verifying that the token is valid is just verifying its signature. You wouldn't check that the passtoken matches (in fact, you wouldn't have a passtoken at all). The payload is where the sauce is at.

A payload can include anything, from an user id (which is similar to the passtoken use case, authentication) to a list of grants (so you wouldn't even have to hit the "users" table to check for permissions... or even have access to it! As long as you can verify the signature.)

> to be revoked

That's true though. This is usually handled with short-lived tokens that must be renewed periodically.

Alternatively you could have a Token Revocation List of some sort (which isn't O(n) storage since 1. not all tokens will be revoked and 2. you can purge expired tokens). But then you get the problem of synchronizing the TRL across services (or centralize the token verification in a service which IMHO kinda defeats the purpose).
I still don't understand what people mean when they say something like

"Rather than trying to reduce consciousness to fit into the box of relational/dispositional properties, it is time that we begin to explore it for what it is—and for the answers that studying it on its own terms, in its full splendor and variety, stands to provide."

What are you supposed to do with that? What does recognizing the ontological primacy of consciousness actually entail?

A lot of this sounds like the kind of "center of what's known" fallacies that plagued human thought in the pre-scientific era. The sun isn't central to anything, the Earth isn't central to anything, human consciousness is probably not central to anything either. Why wouldn't that pattern hold here. Why wouldn't we just be wrong about how unique consciousness is?

Nothing of the sort is clear. If you train a GPT-2 instance on a corpus of the philosophy of consciousness which has been rewritten into the first-person singular, and you then ask it a question which it answers with a discourse on "my consciousness", is it conscious? Your argument here says that it is.

You're assuming without evidence that consciousness is, and is only, an epiphenomenon of a sufficiently complex neural net, which you are of course welcome to do. But attempting to cloak that assumption in positive language, as you do here and elsewhere, is a bit of linguistic chicanery that doesn't deserve to pass entirely without comment.
Computer science != application development. There's a bit of overlap there but they're different worlds. Most universities are teaching theories and fundamentals, not platform APIs.

True, but at the same time not every bartender makes a great cocktail, or cares to. If people want service levels to race to the bottom this is the way to do it.

The main problem with the DD model is that they're asking people to decide a tip before being provided a service. That's unfair to the customer and driver. As far as paying a decent wage before that, DD could provide a mile cost reimbursement as well as one for the time spent on the order. Paying the driver a blanket fee for every order they deliver rather than one based on time and millage is not sustainable. I understand that's much how the model used to work, but the whole thing about tip culture is rewarding people who do the little things to make the experience worth it for you having to pay extra. As a customer of DD you're only going to be aware of things after you've received your food.

Also, if a bartender is not getting the best shifts, that may be because the bar cycles their shifts or they aren't as good, or maybe Wednesday is a busier night and they only staff one bartender so that person may end up doing better than having to split a bar with several others. That said, if it's busier on a Saturday and the bartenders are getting hammered, why should they have to subsidize the bartender who isn't there?
I wonder if there couldn't be some form of automated tooling which creates dummy accounts in your system and looks for leaks of this type?
It's going to be a sad day if the argument in court is that the customer is "tipping DoorDash" (and not the actual delivery contractor).
Well in places where the intellectuals are fleeing, that's basically what they're doing, no? They're not trying to control the money exactly, but they are ceasing to share their skills with the rest of the people in that country, and removing themselves from its economy.

> In the not-so-distant-past, a dictator purging academics would be clearly and universally acknowledged as bad.

Honestly, I'm not so sure that's true. That's still a consensus view for people without a stake in what's happening, and it never has been clear and universal for those close to the topic. (Who, as here, generally accept the principle but reject the accuracy of both 'dictator' and 'purge'.)

It's not hard to find people, even in the US, who in their own time excused (or praised) each of fascist crackdowns on historians, Soviet enforcement of Lysenkoism, Pinochet's 'disappearing' of artists, Maoist 'reeducation', or even the Khmer Rouge's outright mass murder of educated people. Mostly, those purges have only been near-universally reviled in hindsight.

The evil is that overtime products add more and more features. When a feature is added and it slows down the app only 2%, they think it is no biggie.

But overtime they ship 40 features in that way... and now the app take 220% more time.

It just slowly happen overtime and that it is why they may not notice it.

Products need to have performance tests with time limits that you do not want to compromise overtime.
