> Only if you equate “having fewer children” to “killing yourself”, which is transparently incorrect, not to mention tasteless.

It's the same result. You're just choosing it for yourself instead of your parents having chosen for you, which only seems fair -- I know I'd rather be the one to choose for myself. But the point is that the choice, in either case, is not worth the cost when there are better alternatives.

If we were at the point that population reduction was the only possible solution then we would be soliciting volunteers, but it's not.

> However, the responses to this simple fact continue to be enlightening: people would rather commit all sorts of tortured fallacies of reasoning than change their lifestyles in any meaningful way.

Why would anybody want to do that when it isn't necessary? You can't just buy an electric car and call it done, but it's one among a collection of things you can do that sum together to an actual solution that doesn't require people to abandon their standard of living.

Seconded. My parents are in their 90's and I'd be first in line if I could buy one.

I've seen many of these be announced over the years but not one has come to market, whether for the military, the elderly, or the handicapped. It makes me wonder of there is some common problem with these devices that is not easily solved.
Running Effective Bug Bashes That Your Team Won’t Dread
People who've made a firm decision that dying is the best thing for them to do don't call hotlines to get talked out of it. Nothing stopped any of those people from trying again later, either, if they decided that holding off had been the wrong decision. There's plenty of stories from people who e.g. jumped off a bridge but survived, who were filled with regret as soon as their feet left the platform. The fact is that suicidal impulses are often acute and transitory.

People should have the right to die, but you're basically saying that people shouldn't be allowed the option of talking things over with a sympathetic listener before making a final decision.
Some cars have a lot of capacity, so in some cases that is like saying who wants a car with only half a tank of gas?
I don’t know, but I’d expect them to send the police if it’s an emergency (you’re in imminent danger of going through with it) and to tell you to stop tying up the line and seek help yourself otherwise.

This would be just like calling them for any other medical problem. If you’re in imminent danger they’ll send help. Otherwise they’ll tell you to get off the line. They won’t forward you to a doctor.
They probably are. If someone uses a Mastercard to donate to the Bernie Sanders campaign, they are not allowed to refuse the transaction.

>"regular layoffs are necessary for this ecosystem"

>"I try to be as unemotional as possible"

Allow me to propose that a corporation shouldn't be structured in this way. Obviously a large bank is operating with a much more complex business model when compared to a small business that unclogs people's toilets, but the plumber's business should in theory not require any layoffs. It should be possible for a lean team to operate forever in a very humane manner.

Instead we have this pooling of capital and contracts in the hands of inefficient mega corps. The corps scoop up pretty much any worker they can when times are good, and then lay them off arbitrarily when the managers need to meet some KPI.

This is inherently unhuman and a waste of time and money. The laid off workers would normally be able to go innovate and start their own shop, but the big corps have locked up all the contracts and clients.

Maybe I should use an Ethernet cable on my iPhone instead of LTE, that should be convenient.
Agreeing with you: I'm only familiar with Idris insofar as I've watched talks on it, but my recollection is that its implementation inference is a search across pre-listed implementations. Edwin Brady says that that's surprisingly useful. I believe him and look forward to trying it out some time soon, but it is not as magical as we might guess.

You're not legally required to get insurance for a mortgage. But you won't have much luck finding a lender who will lend to you if you don't. I'd be surprised if this wasn't equally the case in most other countries.
Sure, but the really lucky break IMO was a decade of INTC repeatedly punching itself in the face w/r to manycore computation. I was at Nvidia from 2001 to 2011 (and now back) and I spent 2006-2011 as one of the very first CUDA programmers. It was pretty obvious within a week or two that this technology was going to be huge, and I more or less made my career with it.

But instead of stepping up to the plate and igniting a Red Queen's Race that would have benefited everyone, INTC first tried to discredit the technology repeatedly, then they built an absolutely dreadful series of decelerators that demonstrated how badly they didn't understand manycore. Eventually, they gave up, and now they're playing catch-up by buying companies that get within striking distance of NVDA rather than building really cool technology from within.

Now if someone threw a large pile of money at AMD again, things could get really interesting IMO. But the piles of stupid money seem biased towards throwing ~$5M per layer at the pets.com of AI companies these days.

> What's money for after all.

> At the heart of capitalism is a vast and scarcely examined assumption: you are entitled to as great a share of the world’s resources as your money can buy. You can purchase as much land, as much atmospheric space, as many minerals, as much meat and fish as you can afford, regardless of who might be deprived. If you can pay for them, you can own entire mountain ranges and fertile plains. You can burn as much fuel as you like. Every pound or dollar secures a certain right over the world’s natural wealth.

I'd say that it's justified if and only if that community fof 100 people agrees to willingly suspend these rights and liberties (the word 'privileges' isn't appropriate here) because they consider that it's for a good cause that they support.

But if you come in from the capital and take away their rights from innocent people (i.e. anyone other than the "2" you mention in your example) without the consent of that community, then that's evil oppresion - and the factors you mention are weak excuses, they certainly are not valid justification for that.
Oh yes. Just the other week, the largest workplace immigration raid in history took place.

Seven factories owned by the same company. 680 individuals arrested for being undocumented - a misdemeanor, leaving aside all the other polarization of opinions on that.

It's a felony to (knowingly) employ someone without work authorization.

Not one supervisor, manager, or executive has been charged with anything in relation to these raids. And ICE has announced no plans to do so.
Is calling some one stupid or telling them to fuck themselves all that horrible to you? There wasn't even a threat of violence or attacking based upon "protected characteristics."
Do you work at Google? People at the company may well recognise the situation. Whether or not you believe it is relatively irrelevant. Anyone with any social awareness will recognise this as something that certainly could happen. And people who are set to disbelieve it no matter what, will not be swayed by evidence anyway, like creationists and flat earthers.
Funny aside: Khara means "shit" in Arabic. I don't think it affects Studio Khara's market that much but they'll have to change their name if they want to sell Evangelion in the Middle East.
Sometimes when I have insomnia I sort of daydream instead of sleeping. When I get up, I am more rested than the 3-4 hours or actual sleep would suggest. I had wondered if the daydreaming was similar enough to sleep to be a poor substitute
If things go south, in the US, yes, you can be sectioned. That probably shouldn't be seen as a negative, though. You'd typically be taken to an ER where a qualified medical professional would talk to you and decide whether you're likely to need assistance from a hospital. If you are, you're sectioned, which means you're placed under observation for three business days. During that time, they would typically provide a wealth of medical and mental services to you; full check-ups, access to therapists, etc. You're also given free access to a lawyer, if you so choose.

If, after three days, they determine that you're not a danger to yourself or anyone else, out the door you go. If they determine that you're in harm's way, they talk to you and make recommendations. You don't have to agree to any of them. Typically they involve plans for moving forward, like making arrangements to see appropriate medical professionals on a regular basis, finding housing (if you're homeless), enrolling in rehab... whatever is relevant to your case.

If they decide you need to stay, but you say you want to leave, they can either take the matter to court, or they can let you walk out the door. I've only ever talked to one person who landed in that situation; it doesn't seem to happen to most people who get sectioned.

Obviously, some areas of the US have worse medical and mental care than others. If you're in a part of the US that's lacking in that regard, it could be more like a jail sentence than assistance.
please, expand the reasoning of why you think an entire class of people should be omitted from a discussion.

Mindfulness meditation is absolutely great, a miracle, a root. I don't meditate regularly but every time that I do it again (and if properly), the thought that opens is something like "where have you been so long / why have you denied this to yourself for so long" type of question.

And yet, I feel like doing that every day is not fully compatible with the type of consciousness which is optimal to get me from day to day in my life as a software engineer.

Meditation sharpens your senses -- you may then find yourself distracted by sounds of road traffic that you previously didn't care about, you may discover that the air in your area smells bad to you from time to time, you may realize how locked most people are in their own patterns (that includes you). You may find yourself thinking about going to a Buddhist monastery somewhere and trying this for a longer time. I'm just saying it's really _that_ good.

Whereas, if I do what I love, and I let my consciousness to its own momentum, I feel like it's auto-tackling the daily roughness of life more on its own and not bothering me with otherwise unimportant things that much. In essence, you were born into this physical reality to be a thought / to have thoughts, not to be thoughtless / formless.

That said, mindfulness meditation as a consciousness-momentum modification tool, applied (even daily) within the proper bounds, can a venerable weapon for life.

I guess I just find it to be an extra overhead to manage if everything else in my life goes really well even without it.

p.s. If you use meditation as a daily crutch(?)/bandage(?) to something that _really_ bothers you, there are much more effective weapons to try (one-off, by no means regular use): Ayahuasca, Shrooms, Family Constellations -- after healing with these, the meditation itself can provide you with much more, as a cherry on the top.
Harmony OS – The Android Killer?
How is it a straw man argument? I’m not a US citizen, I look at the country history at dealing with international actors. The country has a terrible history at cooperating with others in a peaceful way, or even consider common interests. If for some reasons the US government decides to that its mission is to tackle climate issues, I don’t think it will take long before they come with a rational for a climate war.

> Carbon-based import tariffs, sanctions, and having a very strong, innovative US clean tech to export/sell its tech to other countries who need but dont have the R&D budget.

Sure, that’s all fine. That’s really not what I would expect from a country that systematically refused to collaborate on climate issues with others, but that would be great.

>This is a striking metaphor of life under communism, and what it takes for a human being to survive in it

Or any large capitalist corporation. Survival is a stretched term in both cases. (We should not confuse the general idea of communism with periods of brutal purges, that many/most "communist" countries went through). If you stand against any large system, guess who is likely to win.
So you first issue is data. For any problem you would probably need a sizable training dataset.

Hence, your idea should come after the data, not before.

In this case, I would suggest going to companies that already have data (for example support tickets), which they do not use.

After you have data, I would use auto ml.

I might argue that it is precisely a route to figuring out why we need to do this to begin with.

This notion that somehow all this suffering and stress is generated by external factors is a trap, in my experience.
Good faith reporting of suspected fraud sounds fine, but a couple concerns about this:

> In one case, investigators at State Farm withheld several crucial reports contradicting their fraud allegations from the bundle of evidence they handed over the law enforcement. In another, a Farmers manager admitted under oath that there was an "unwritten policy" within the company to withhold evidence from customers that could help prove their innocence.

Besides the appearance of possible bad faith, that might also -- in the context of government relying on the insurance company to do some of the investigative work -- thwart government obligations to share evidence with a defendant.
In that case, it's true for both Twitter and email. The exact same network is used.
This is not a trivial attack. Within the short key negotiation phase, the attacker must simultaneously prevent the two devices from hearing each other, and be transmitting in their place at the exact frequency hop and interval.

"The attacking device would need to intercept, manipulate, and retransmit key length negotiation messages between the two devices while also blocking transmissions from both, all within a narrow time window. "
If we replaced Sarah Palin with some left-wing politician, I'm not sure this article would get any traction.

I'm not sure what the solution is, even recent articles on proposed social media legislation[1] led to comments that Trump is trying to "censor the internet".

I agree with this a lot. When discussing this with someone who has been around ML/Optimization since the 70s he pointed out that it took 20 years for simple things like a Kalman filters to make their way out in to all the places in the world where they turned out to be useful. That is likely true of more modern ML technologies.

Your question implies you consider Twitter a common carrier. Verizon as a phone company falls under common carrier rules. Twitter (social media) does not and therefore, its not the same.

If we want to reclassify social media as common carrier we need regulation to do so but that is not how the internet or social media companies work today. Sadly the internet in of itself doesn't even fall under common carrier.
This just underscores one of the main things I desire from social media these days: Ephemerality. I wish that social media services, Snapchat aside, started treating content as transient. Services like TweetDelete help, but I can't think of anything I'd say on a Microblogging service that I want to exist in 9 years.

Yes, yes, "everything on the internet is permanent". But every one of my social media streams could benefit from a "Automatically delete after one month" setting.

We grow, we learn. Why not let our social media represent who we are, not who we were?
This article mentions pop voice specifically, but doesn't delve into the actual physiological phenomena associated with head voice/falsetto, in part because of current limitations at understanding how we make sound. Male head voice and falsetto are related to crico-thyroid (antagonistic muscles to vocal folds) dominant phonation, as opposed to thyro-arytenoid (vocal fold) dominant phonation. The differences from there can be attributed to a number of additional factors, like subglottic air-pressure or pharyngeal shape. If you're interested in further reading or research on the subject, the writings of Richard Miller or Ingo Titze would be great places to explore.

> Generally you have to dial an international call prefix before the country code, so this is a non issue. Without it, the phone system won't know if you're trying to reach country code 44 for the UK, or area code 440, 441, 442, 443, or 445 in the US.

...are you in the US? That isn't true at all. You start with the country code. You can't reach any of the area codes you mentioned by dialing a number starting with the area code, because you have to start with 1, the US country code.

Outside the US, you can use the more unambiguous country code 001 to reach the US. (e.g. I had difficulty calling the US from China because normal American 11-digit numbers starting with 1 are processed by Chinese carriers as 11-digit Chinese cell phone numbers. But there, like here, there was no "international call prefix". You just start right off with the country code.)
Well I don't think the argument is that you need academic justification before implementing something in your own life. Obviously not the case.
