"Humans are so good at doing this implicitly that we don't even question if other people have emotions, thoughts, ideas, or experiences that differ significantly from our own."

And yet other people often do, to the extent that the concept of "neurotypicality", and its converse, are necessary components of (the closest thing we yet have to) a complete theory of mind.

It's interesting to me that you accuse me of the No True Scotsman fallacy while introducing the concept of some sort of external signals for which a human brain functions exclusively as a receiver. That reads like an attempt to introduce a mind-body duality, but given your prior commentary I doubt that is the case. The closest I can come to making sense of it is that you seem to argue that consciousness consists entirely in experience of, and response to, outside stimuli from other humans and from the environment, with no de novo contribution arising from within the person who experiences a given instance of consciousness.

Considering that this appears to be a sneaky attempt to define the concept of consciousness out of existence altogether, I have to assume I've misunderstood you somehow, because I can't imagine anyone would engage in such chicanery under the color of forthright and intellectually honest discussion. But we're talking so much past one another at this point that I do doubt the use of continuing any further.
It only took Kia 6 years to out-Toyota Toyota, that is to go from producing the worst mainstream cars in the us to the best in initial and 3 year quality metrics (and well above Toyota).

If this is too complex for them to understand I would be really worried with "good software" they are building.

Climate change is inevitable but the amount of change can still be affected. Preventing carbon emissions now will absolutely be cheaper that paying for mitigations in the future.

The amount of warming is very important. An increase from 1.5C to 2.0C will kill an additional 100 million people from air pollution alone.

The mortgage market is giant. I don't think there is enough liquidity to remove all the risk off of bank's books from private investors. This is where the government comes in I believe. Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae buy all the loans off of the banks. Many of these are later sold to investors who want to bet on rates - but I imagine Freddie/Fannie still has huge exposure to interest rate moves.

Sure, we're not as bad as them. We do most of our state-sponsored murder and oppression outside of the country. Yet, we do have infants in concentration camps / prisons / whatever you'd like to call them. Black lives matter has been and remains a relevant calling because our police are not held accountable for extrajudicial killings of black people (or any people, for that matter). And we still have many in prison for crimes like... smoking a plant, or just jailed with little evidence by a broken system. These situations are approximately as absurd and oppressive as what you've mentioned, though it's best not to get out measuring sticks for levels of oppression.

You can watch if you want, or even be a part of the counting. IIRC most paper ballot schemes have the counting be public in some form or another, so that opposing factions can call each other out if someone is cheating in some way.

I fully agree with your last two sentences. However, it has come to light that the FAA has handed over almost all oversight to Boeing. Therefore, I wouldn't trust the FAA being either willing or (after a decade of deregulation) even capable of finding issues. The MCAS deficiencies where glaring obvious. They weren't noticed. Why should I trust the FAA this time?
This could help in some low density cases, but probably not in dense cities. It would require some changes to the inverters such that air con could still be powered in a blackout, due to anti-islanding concerns (feeding power into an isolated portion of the grid can cause injury to workers and further electrical faults).

An easier alternative for these rare cases is probably just to have a backup diesel generator.

My software is packaged by Debian, and the update process is me notifying the Debian Developer (DD) responsible for the package of the new version => said DD pulling the new tarball from GitHub. Pretty sure no one’s gonna notice until after it’s pushed to Debian FTP if I introduce some subtle malicious code. Point is DDs don’t review version deltas for the most part, so when the upstream is compromised, they add little to your defense (other than security by outdatedness, I suppose).
I came across this today and honestly it's quite good.

Actually, it looks as if it wasn't that strictly regulated, hence the hundreds of deaths because Boeing was allowed to self-certify. The magic of the free market was indeed at work here, producing value for shareholders.
There's power-to-gas going on at scale? Where?
Because requiring you to define eq is more correct. Equality and ordering are different concepts. If they wanted to keep cmp, the only correct choice would be to require eq if you define cmp.

This again goes back to what masklinn said: a total ordering across all objects in python is a misfeature. The idea that `object() < 13 < "hello world" < 3+2j < [(frozenset(), frozenset())] < {type: int}` should evaluate to anything but a TypeError is horrifying!

And once you make that decision, if an object implements cmp, it must implement eq (because the safe thing should be the default, and allowing people to implement cmp in isolation lets them shoot themselves in the foot). And at that point, cmp is more work to write than le or gt, so instead just implement eq, and then if you want it, le or gt + total_ordering, or if you need weird things implement each method individually.

In practice, I've also found it much easier to reason about eq or le than cmp. People like to be tricky with cmp, and even when they don't, returning -1 or 1 is less explicit than just returning True or False.

For self harm here the definition comes from NICE guidance.

https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/qs34

> The term self‑harm is used in this quality standard to refer to any act of self‑poisoning or self‑injury carried out by a person, irrespective of their motivation. This commonly involves self‑poisoning with medication or self‑injury by cutting. Self‑harm is not used to refer to harm arising from overeating, body piercing, body tattooing, excessive consumption of alcohol or recreational drugs, starvation arising from anorexia nervosa or accidental harm to oneself.

This definition excludes drug use, but that would be covered elsewhere. For example, the front page of NCISH (National Confidential Inquiry into Suicide and Self Harm, previously NCIS and Homicide by MH patients) has this (under "improving safety in mental health services"): https://sites.manchester.ac.uk/ncish/

> Reducing alcohol and drug misuse

> We recommend there are drug and alcohol services available that work closely with mental health services for patients with mental illness and alcohol and drug misuse.

> Our evidence

> Only a minority of patients who died by suicide between 2006 and 2016 were in contact with specialist substance misuse services, despite alcohol and drug misuse being a common antecedent of patient suicide in all UK countries. In England, there was a 25% fall in rates of suicide by patients in those NHS Trusts which had put in place a policy on the management of patients with co-morbid alcohol and drug misuse.

In the UK there have been effects, but it's too early to tell the full picture. Many drinks cut down their sugar content to avoid the tax and full-sugar drinks are often excluded from 'meal deals' (or the levy is explicity added, e.g. McDonalds' meals) so I would expect that people have be switching to diet versions in those cases. The Uk is pretty small so things can be changed at a whole country level more easily.

Pricing in externalities is a part of that adaptation. It literally is "getting on with it".

It's unclear to me what you mean by this.

If your farm is on fire, maybe you lose a room. OK, so you adapt. Perhaps you'll never earn enough again to rebuild it properly. You might be a bit traumatised - maybe you buy more smoke alarms, cameras, sprinklers, stuff like that.

What you don't do is set the whole thing alight, burn it to hell, and adapt to the changes having contributed to your life savings going up in smoke.

If a family member or close friend dies - you hang out with friends, you go to therapy. You certainly don't buy some weapons and decide to finish off the rest of your friends for good measure!

A climate that continuously changes by a few degrees every decade is going to be impossible to adapt to properly. We will effectively never be able to build permanent structures again.

What's the goal here? 800ppm? 1200? Literally just whack the thermostat up 10c and have every city in the world suddenly be in the wrong place?

> attempts at regulation will just destroy the economy, and thus their place in it, and that ruining the economy and thus untold (b|m)illions of lives that way

It's unclear to me why pricing in externalities would do this.

Shifting consumption to more efficient "happiness/usefulness per damage" stuff wouldn't ruin anything.

It's difficult for me to understand why people would think that carbon pricing pushing people towards different foods or smaller cars or cycling or whatever would "destroy the economy". I think they have a different definition of the word 'destroy'. Consuming a bit less is not destruction. Your hometown being underwater is a destroyed economy.
This is a solution to the problem of more pork for vendors.

Any one wanting to understand why any of these changes occurs will be illuminated by better understanding the business models of the vendors and the appropriations (budgets) of the jurisdictions.

During the HAVA bonanza, which brought us the touchscreens, vendors envied high tech valuations, so repackaged themselves as product companies.

When that fad went bust (market saturation), vendors repackaged themselves as service companies. With a big difference from their prior incarnation. Changing from time & materials to charging a fee for every task for every voter every election.

Before, you'd buy ballots for expected turnout plus 10%.

Now, (with vote-by-mail) you buy the whole ballot packet, for every voter every election.

Before, you'd pay 10 cents for every voter signature verified.

Now, you pay for signature verification services for every voter every election.

It's astonishing how each and every step of the process has been monetized (rent seeking).

Huh. It just now occurs to me there's probably a better way to summarize the business practices of the vendors:

Just imagine what IT vendors like Oracle do to maximize revenue applied to election administration.
golang likes to reinvent the wheel and call it something else. We've already seen it with exceptions (which they called "panics"). Contracts already mean something else (see contracts in C++, C#, D, etc.).

What they're proposing here are basically trait bounded generics. They just don't want to use the word "generics" because of the following attitude:

"The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt."
Without proof that you voted a certain way, people are unlikely to pay you.

That's why some states don't allow you to take a picture of a ballot that you filled out. They're trying to prevent you from confirming that you voted a certain way.

I'm not really familiar with how NPM packages are published - is it just referencing a commit hash in a repo, or is it a separate upload direct?

> voting is the only thing that matters

Voting matters when (1) laws ensure all people have roughly equal influence when voting, (2) laws ensure voting translates into action instead of an empty gesture to appease the population, and (3) the rule of law is respected and consistently enforced.

When one or more of these is compromised, then the actions of the government are illegitimate, and there is a continuum of actions people can take beyond voting.

Writing letters -> peaceful street protests -> nonviolent civil disobedience like blocking roads -> sabotage -> violent street protests -> armed insurrection -> civil war.

So no, voting is not the only thing that matters.
All these criteria make sense except for the PhD. That seems like one of those humble brags.

Probably because most uses of lithium are heavily processed and it's not particularly useful or safe in it's raw form, so if you're going to use it you're more likely to need an oxide or something instead of the raw metal.

I think sustained low interest rates will be seen as the cause of the crisis in the post mortem for two reasons:

1. Corporations took on mountains of low interest debt to fuel stock buy-backs. This "made sense" because earnings growth readily outpaced interest on the loans.

2. Investors took out mountains of low interest debt to fuel stock purchases. This "made sense" because earnings growth readily outpaced interest on the loans.

We are in a dangerous compound leverage situation. The moment growth looks to have subsided, investors are going to deleverage en masse, causing a cascade of sales and stock price plunges. Companies will no longer be able to pay the mortgages on their buy-back bonds, and will make cuts, which will just make the bleeding worse. Cue massive corporate bankruptcies and bailouts.

I have a thesis that interest rates and rate of growth will trend towards each other over the long term. Investors assume that the market will always return ~7%, which I think it has only done because long term interest rates were a little under ~7%. The next collapse may drag long-term growth down to the ~3% range, which will be doubly-bad for companies paying bonds with interest rates near that.
