Even the Regular Joes don't much fancy thinking about their mortality or to ponder they may be caught.

The egotistical usually like it even less. To plan for a dead mans switch, means staring down the abyss that is your own mortality.

I figure for many of these people it's very much out of their character to do so.
I don't like your comment for several reasons>

1.) You don't provide any example how he damaged academia. It lacks substance.

2.) "he doesn't care at all about being a mathematician (well, except when it gives him credit he doesn't deserve)" That bit of character assassination is unnecessary. He is obviously one of the most accomplished Mathematicians alive.

Oh great, so lets compare numbers of deaths and draw a line shall we?

Can you give a number of how many native americans where genocided and straved by US? By the Red Kmher as they were supported by US?

If you draw the line at, 1932, and dont want to look further back than that, the native americans killed.

Now then, what is the death toll of those bombed in Dresden, Nagasaki and Hirosima, Tokyo, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq? Notice, these are all deliberate deaths, not "policy accidents" as Stalin can claim for Holodomor.

Oh right, maybe you drew the line at "but killed only in 2 years time not spanning decades". US wins that game with Hiroshima, total kills at minimum amount of time.

> In terms of numbers, Stalin's genocide was almost twice as large as the holocaust.

See, you are brainwashed more brainwashed than any citizens living through Holodomor, and thats scary.

On the basis of cultural, religious or ethnic differences. Palestine, taiwan, kurdistan, the division of middle east in ethnic groups instead of ww1 borders, The divisons we have seen in Congo in the last 30 years, even the indigenous people of Peru probably with their recent protests againt Lenin Moreno all have claims to needing due to incapability to form an understanding with the central goverment to be allowed to have their own country.

Catalunya has no historical, political, religious or ethnic divide with Spain. Literally 0. Their tripartit is gonna be mimic now by Cuidadanos, PP and PSOE. Their elites are just as corrupts as madrid. They are as religious as anywhere else in Spain. Catalunya has never been a historical region unless you concede Aragorns crown to be fundamentally Catalan but even then it is ages ago.

Basque country has a much better claim to indepdence in my opinion, and I still do not think they deserve the right of self determination. Not only in part because a great claim of their ethnic difference is still based in anti Spanish racism.
You know what I like about Amazon? I'm a <i>customer<i>. I pay my money (not much) and you give me what I want (enough for me). I deal with Google and lots of other Big Tech companies too, but I never forget that I'm not the customer there.

There's no coming back from that.

He had “come back from” one conviction before. And with what he knew he could probably have cut a deal, even gone into witness protection. The suicide theory just doesn’t hold water.
> You know what works? De-platforming them. Not giving them a voice in the public discourse

Many people (me included) find this approach very unpalatable because of how inherently authoritarian it is. (Ironically, this suggestion often comes from the same people who are concerned by how underrepresented some groups are in the public discourse and how the voices of those groups are not heard, and want to artificially amplify those voices). If you have studied history of any repressive regime where dissenters were deprived of any conventional platform and were reduced to circulating their ideas in the underground, you might empathise.

It's absolutely fine not to take certain groups seriously. But it feels (to me) deeply unfair to undermine their very ability to speak.
Careful using this argument it's an appeal to nature and can be used to excuse just about any behaviour.

Starting from definitions, you're saying that our consciousness is different from animals.

But we have no definition of consciousness and no way of quantifying differences between animals and us (ignoring the fact that we are animals).

> What if consciousness is illusory?

since we don't know what it is nor can measure it (other than in degrees of unconsciousness, which I guess isn't what is meant here), how can we say that is is an illusion, and if so, compared to a non-illusory what?

Finally, who cares? I don't and I guess many people would these days shrug and say, descartes-like "I am what I am" and carry on. It's like religious people saying their morality comes from the bible and the threat of hell, but as secularity emerged over the centuries, the non-religious still behaved pretty much the same morally (I use this as an example of fundamentals turning out to be less important than expected, I don't want to start a religious discussion here)

I worked on modding a political forum from its laissez fairs days to its current operating philosophy.

Bad speech regularly frowns out signal, and in times of crisis, will overwhelm the channel with emotion.

It’s easier to make vague funny one liners which reach the top of the page, drowning out that 8 page report on the telecom industry.

Bashing a political candidate? Channel crusher.

Once the channel is overtaken, crazier philosophies start opening up - nationalism, religious cleansing, minority targeting.

> I believe the reason why small businesses and freelancers struggle so much is because most CRMs out there do not ask them WHAT THEY NEED.

I work for a smallish CRM company targeting the SMB space. Not to be defensive, but making a general purpose CRM is hard. It's not that we're not asking, but there are as many different answers as there are customers out there. Some want contact management, some want task management, some want pipeline management, some want productivity and collaboration tools, all ending up shopping in the same bucket of "CRM". The list of potential features to add is endless, as is the scope creep and complexity creep of your software as your feature interactions multiply.

Though I suppose, the silver lining for you is that if you are operating as a bootstrapped business rather than growing under duress from investors, you can choose your battles (and customers) more judiciously. Best of luck out there.
This seems like the sort of job you'd send two people on for security reasons. It's not as though the military typically has a lack of people. Giving one person that kind of responsibility just presents opportunities for corruption. I know if I needed someone to destroy a bunch of hard disks I'd make sure someone was watching so they don't just get sold off with our data.
The best, free, and totally underappreciated CRM is Bitrix24.com IMHO. There's just nothing else free on the market that combines client and project management like Bitrix24. Check out https://bitrix24.com or https://bitrix24.eu

Hopefully I've made your day a little easier. It seems we find a way to "ease our pains at work" by building what we need to solve some of our problems. There is also a JPG to JPG and PNG to PNG which will attempt to compress the file into a smaller version of itself.

I've also run into the issue of CMYK colors within the JPG which can either cause bloat as those colors are very well defined as they are menat for a print version and converts it to RGB colors. These are just things I needed for work at work in order to work.

I do plan on adding multiple file support as well as an API service in the future which would just zip up all the files and download them to your way or share with you every individual file converted via API and then a developer would just download them remotely.

> Unlike dogs and other omnivores, cats are true (so-called “obligate”) carnivores: They meet their nutritional needs by consuming other animals and have a higher protein requirement than many other mammals. Cats get certain key nutrients from meat—including taurine, arachidonic acid, vitamin A and vitamin B12—that can’t be sufficiently obtained from plant-based foods. Without a steady supply of these nutrients, cats can suffer from liver and heart problems, not to mention skin irritation and hearing loss.

Unlike cats, we can survive without meat.

I could see myself using this often if it was a built-in feature in netflix/primevideo.

Often I am trying to watch something of low importance on TV while kids are running in and out of the room and I'd rather not accidentally expose them to a pointlessly prolonged sex scene, which seem to be in every single tv show these days for no apparent plot reason.
Vivaldi 2.9 is out – let us know what you think
I agree but what makes it so hard to swallow is that phrase, "be much less than they thought", should really be "be much more than they thought".

I mean, your heroes sometimes turn out to be all that and so many more, horrible things. It's hard to fathom that people can contain good and bad qualities, and after the fact push them aside among "bad people". But if you do this, you won't learn anything, or be watchful of your remaining heroes.

Next time you idolize someone, remember that. They may be more things and those things may not all be pretty.

Trump has been able to do very little, and this is a good thing. However, what he has done is effectively demonstrate that the executive branch has too much centralized power, not too little.

In regards to whether or not it would be great if we had a powerful centralized body that could determine what constitute outrageous lies worthy of a fine, no, for the reasons I've already stated, I do not think that this would be a good thing. I have no problem with European and Asian countries granting their (very often highly competent) governments greater authorities than what is afforded to the US government, but I think it's supremely important that there remains at least one superpower fundamentally predicated on a mistrust of a central authority.
It seems the shark might disagree with you on that.
It depends where you test.

General relativity should be tested and verified in energies and conditions where it has no been tested yet, because it's likely that there is crack there somewhere.

Many those military research projects mentioned in the article are pure crackpot science. They search where it easy to search and reasons to do so are usually based on misunderstandings of existing theory.
Unraveling the Secret Origins of an AmazonBasics Battery
Yeah, that's not surprising. Cutting-edge R&D is very boring hyper-parameter tuning basically, and requires a kind of person that is able to do things for a long long time (to gather data) and then to think a bit later.

The same goes on with neuro folks. Consciousness, mind, hello? No, just let's poke rats, thanks.

But this works.

And that's why I don't understand Sabine's viewpoint. She can't just sit in an ivory tower and stare down the cosmos in a contest until it reveals its secrets. We need data, better models, better measurements, etc. Yes, sure, it needs better theorists too, but then why not let the experimentalists do what they do best? It's not like there isn't a bunch of theorists in every serious university on the planet, maybe organize them better?
The instruction to pour water straight into the pot, and not onto the plant, always struck me as odd. Maybe it’s one of those small ancient nuggets of knowledge that we struggle to justify but just work. Might be a big leap still, but reactions like the one from this paper could justify not spraying water all over my house plants.
It’s not nothing. It’s the price premium charged multiplied by the number of customers deceived.
Too many words to convince that guy. It is funny how one can tick people in thinking high of themself. For instance, they usually don't have a clue about vaccination, AI or climate but they know that there is a trend and as long as you keep the currently popular opinion, you will be on the right side. Up to them, the rest are dumb fucks and should be deplatformed. Obviously, most of them never worked in science and have no critical thinking which develops while reviewing hundreds of papers where people (mostly) lie in order to get things published.
Nice case of double standards. The practice of force feeding geese looks more cruel than it is. It's basically nothing compared to what we routinely do to chickens and other farm animals. Industrial chicken farming is infinitely more cruel compared to this.

We're talking about organically farmed birds that are kept such that they are fattened up and delicious (aka. in good health) in a way that is the complete opposite of the dystopian life of a chicken bred in cage that needs antibiotics just to survive their miserable life long enough to be slaughtered.

Banning Kentucky fried chicken or other fast food chains would be considered ludicrous. So, is this.

I eat meat and chicken but I'm well aware where it came from. I've had foie gras a couple of times. Not crazy about it but I appreciate it.

From https://nypost.com/2019/10/30/deadspin-writers-revolt-say-th...

Things are spinning out of control over at Deadspin.
Several staffers at the news site announced their resignations on Wednesday — amid a struggle with their G/O Media bosses who recently issued a memo telling writers to file only sports stories.

The internal revolt began Tuesday with rebellious staffers continuing to write non-sports stories — and the deputy director saying he’d been fired for not following the directive.
“Hi! I’ve just been fired from Deadspin for not sticking to sports,” tweeted Barry Petchesky.

On Wednesday, sports writer Lauren Theisen posted an image she said was of “the meeting where management tried to get us to move past Barry’s firing.” She then announced that she was leaving the site over how her colleagues were treated.
Features writer Kelsey McKinney and media reporter Laura Wagner were also among the many staffers to announce they quit Wednesday.

A G/O spokesperson said in a statement: “They resigned and we’re sorry that they couldn’t work within this incredibly broad coverage mandate. We’re excited about Deadspin’s future and we’ll have some important updates in the coming days.”

I don't understand why sports writers would be mad about being told to stick to sports. If I go to a sports website, I want to see sports articles. That's the job. Instead, you got progressives writing political articles tangentially related to sports if at all. If they want to write political articles, don't write for a sports site.

Air breathing saves wet-mass, but increases dry mass. So far, the dry mass increase has been enough to make it not worthwhile. Especially since the change in trajectory required results in much higher drag losses, and more worse thermal performance (rocket gets hotter)
If you can't back up your claim with hard evidence, it's hardly an objective truth. Hence NSA spying being "conspiracy theory" before Snowden.
I've just been teaching some basics of DB to high school students; wanting to introduce the concepts of tables, forms, reports and queries, but without need to know too much technical stuff, administration etc. Access should have been perfect (I hadn't used it previously, but have programmed, used and administered a number of 'real' DB systems), but it just didn't make sense to me. I'm sure I could have learned it, but the workflow just wasn't obvious. As well as being ugly as hell. So I went looking for alternatives, and they're thin on the ground.

Went with Zoho Creator in the end, but even some of the concepts in that aren't intuitive (it treats forms and tables as the same thing).

Having done quite a few things with anvil.works in recent times as a 'modern Delphi' I'm left wondering when the 'modern Access' will arrive.
WebAuthn doesn't have "passwords" it does public key crypto. So phishingsite.example gets a public key signed response saying "Yup, burner wants to sign into phishingsite.example" and the whole point of cryptographic signatures is that nobody can make it say mybank.example instead of phishingsite.example without invalidating the signature. So it's useless for breaking into your bank account.

There's no UI. Even if you are 100% convinced this is really your bank, you desperately want to sign in, you keep tapping that button, trying again, it can't help the bad guys. There is no "Yes I'm really sure this is my bank" option that destroys your security.
of course, but for a ui?
Even better! Let's deforest huge areas of virgin forest for crappy vegetable oil plantations, and then fill our own air with particulates that are awful for anything with lungs.

According to a US based equivalent Robinhood [1] they make a significant portion of their funds from "uninvested cash that isn't swept to our network of program banks. We do this primarily by depositing cash in interest-bearing bank accounts outside of Robinhood Financial."

Do companies like this fall into any of the same regulations that normal bank/financial institutions require? Is there a big fractional reserve held by these companies somewhere that needs to represent their client's uninvested money?

Totally agree with these points, plus

- I am Indian and I don't fake my identity. But one thing I noticed is, when people came to know about my nationality either they avoid me like plague or discriminate over rates and demand way underpaid contract. For me that is just another hard learned lesson of being in India.

- I just don't use webcam and never do video chat, That is almost an unspoken personal rule of mine. All My social profile look dormant. Last time I posted on facebook, it was 2013. I have Facebook, Twitter, Github[passively active I fork projects and star them if needed nothing else], linkedin and many other social profiles but I have not a single of my photo posted online. Does it make me fake person? In fact I can say, yc profile is my most active one ;)
Eating meat is not the only way to inflict pain on animals.

Animal tested products are horrible on animals. For example, they test that a soap or a shampoo doesn't irritate eyes too much by putting a concentrated form of the product on some animal's eye over and over again, sometimes rendering them blind. And that's just the beginning. It's just horrible.

Milk doesn't kill cows, but cows can only produce milk after giving birth. You are smart enough to figure out the rest of the story: cows are forced to give birth to calves, the calves are "taken away", and the milk is harvested. The animals get traumatized in the process, crying for days.

Chicken eggs should not require us to kill, but in practice if a male chick is born they're often "sacrificed" (often by being ground alive). The survivors spend their lives in a cage.
The push appears to be coming from animal rights groups, many of whom may or may not be vegetarian / vegan. I wouldn't lump this squarely on someone because of their decision to not consume animal products.
Tap water is often hard so pouring it on the plant leaves deposits behind.

Another justification is that when it's sunny water droplets on leaves act as lenses and might burn the leaves.

It is also known that wet leaves increase the chance of fungi, mildew, etc. taking hold on them. The article shows that plants are also well aware of that!
If you put a team to make a better MRI, you'll get the same MRI maybe a bit faster or smaller.

If you want the MRI 2.0, you start with something monstrously different, otherwordly, like gravitational wave detection. There you reach metrological precision, DSP, optics, waveguides, EM shielding, thermal noise compensation, and other incremental advancements that taken together gives you MRI 1.5, and then you can bring in those who make it work into a nice and shiny improved MRI.

The problem with moon-shots (eg. AGI) is that you don't know where to go. With physics at least you sort of do. Higher energy. More sensitivity. Better experiments.
