Because you are part of the entangled system. You can only know that a measurement apparatus is in a definite state because you interacted with it, so your own mental state is partially dependent on it.

You, however, being a large, warm thing decohere rather rapidly, even if the formal measurement apparatus can be made not to. Your consciousness is a classical phenomenon, so you can only perceive one possible classical outcome. If you believe in Many Worlds (which is the most natural interpretation to pair with this resolution of the measurement problem, but is not absolutely forced), then there are other versions of you out there in different parts of state-space which perceive different outcomes, and may even be observable as elements of a superposed-you in principle if not ever in practice, but there is no means of transferring information between any of these different versions of you.

EDIT: To whomever downvoted the parent... why? It is, after all, a perfectly reasonable question, especially (although I do not presume that knzhou personally holds this view) in light of the reasonably common assumption that consciousness is somehow quantum in nature itself.
There have been no fares on our streetcars in KC since they debuted a few years ago. Currently they require EVERYONE to exit the streetcar when it terminates at either end of the route and this seems to work. Not sure what they will do with the bus lines yet.
It works, it activates, and Windows will say it's genuine if you ever reinstall windows from scratch on that machine but technically you don't have a valid license for Windows 10. It's a complete non-issue for personal use and Microsoft is blatantly still allowing the upgrade process and issuing digital entitlements, but for a business this would cause you to fail an audit and need to pay up to license Windows 10. Basically it's a free upgrade for home users but no different than pirating Windows for businesses.

Also, not all gun suicides should be prevented. My friend's grandfather was dying of Parkinson's and had a very horrible and unpleasant 3-6 months ahead of him. He blew his head to pieces with a gun. It was a massive quality of life improvement for him. Nobody in the family was really that upset -- they were glad that he didn't have to suffer, and he took care to do it in a way that none of his family had to discover the gruesome scene.
Off topic but if I wanted some info on farming for hackers where would I look? Lets say I wanted gis data on how well a given crop grows on a given spot on earth or how to back together a set of crops/livestock that promote topsoil growth.
I don't want to go so far as saying that alone would make me consider suicide, but I was effectively deaf for a little over a week once in college with a sinus infection—mine, which I never even had one of until college so was unacquainted with at the time, get up to some weird shit with fair frequency, unfortunately.

Even so, I could still kind-of hear, just not well enough to understand people most of the time, or enjoy music whatsoever (zero enjoyment possible, just a muted mess), or tell how loudly I was talking (I ended up being way too quiet, mostly, I gather). I felt significantly cut off from everything and everyone around me.

It was pretty fucking bad, and I'm not even unusually into music or anything like that.

I'd have said being blind was 100% for sure worse than being deaf before that. Now? Hell, I don't know anymore. Blind's probably still worse, but deaf was awful. Either plus any one other significant problem and I bet I'd be giving... options some serious thought.

>I’d also point out that, at the end of the day, gun rights derive from the Constitution. Gun control is therefore not merely a policy choice to be made based on facts and data.

That it was written in the Constitution (which also counted black people as three fifths of a person and failed to enshrine voting rights) should not reduce the value the facts and data to "mere" status.

You are right about the statistics, though.
They're talking about reading compiler errors, so there won't be a binary to ship. If we could arrange for the code to compile correctly and then be executed, we wouldn't need the binary because the program itself could just upload all the password hashes.

It's an argument by induction. Bacteria (and chair legs) we assume must be less conscious than us. So that sets up a sliding scale with us and the higher mammals at the pinnacle.

> For example, one of the new tactics gun control advocates have adopted is lumping homicides and suicides together into “gun deaths” even though the policy implications of the two things are quite different.

That's assuming that the reason for lumping them together is an attempt to justify policy.

One counter argument to gun control seems to be that gun ownership is a way to preserve liberty and defend the home. It has been repeatedly and consistently found that gun ownership leads to an increase in gun related injuries and deaths for the owners - which undermines those arguments about liberty and home defence, regardless of the type of injury or death.

It's hard to defend anything or have liberty when you're dead.

They get lumped in because they are real mass shootings where tons of people die, but if you explain it as gang violence, it will be immediately ignored as something black/hispanic people do.
I'm not sure if everything being deterministic is an abhorrent, invalid option, but I also don't see why reality has to be local. I mean, the limitation of light speed is something that exists to make a consistent theory, not something that somehow has value in itself...?

The US suicide rate per the CDC is 14/100k (2017). The UK suicide rate is 11/100k per the office of National statistics (2018).

> it’s not normal in any language to mix alphabets

Decidedly not true. Languages like French and Turkish and German use their own alphabet but they look like the typical “American” Latin alphabet but aren’t. How do you decide if it’s English with non-American letters thrown in or not? Languages like Arabic are transliterated with English letters and Arabic numerals. Other Transliteration dialects use random Arabic characters with Latin others.
No. “Well regulated” in the context of the 2A means in good working condition. The militia, which is every male between the ages of 18 and 45, shoukd have a working weapon. Legal “regulations” has nothing to do with it.

Bill Gates' graphic isn't compelling except in the case of some cancer and traffic accidents. Most heart disease, almost all Alzheimer's, most cancer, etc. are just various ways that old people die. You're going to have to die in some manner, so reducing Stroke deaths is just going to mean more Heart Disease deaths a few years later on a person who got to live a full life.

Traffic accidents, earlier cancers, suicides, etc. take people who had much more quality life to be lived.
They explain it here[1] on their discussion forum but still it doesn't make sense to me. If is a statement in every language I know and returns a value, but still those languages have ternary operator. I suspect they don't want to end up with a language similar to what we already have. They want to be different. Even when it isn't necessary.

Why Millennials Want to Die? Some Answers
I like to use 10001 for this. It's valid, populated, easy to remember, and not 90210.
There was once a story here one HN (1 or 2 years ago) about this. There is often just one or so company who can prduce some special parts. So a large company started to buy a lot of these small but important companys. After that, they raise the prize by factor of ten or so.
I would like to see evidence of these mythical companies that pay based on what's fair and not based on the cheapest amount they think they can get away with, while meeting their own goals
Both can be independently valid justifications for gun control without involving any conflation of one for the other.

Short answer is yes. Lisp can be as poorly written as any language. But it does give you more rope to hang yourself.
Things like this you try not to spill a drop.

Sometimes more is spilled, take a look at this, where a noticeable release in Shandong was being filmed from a _safe_ distance when it got worse fast and filming continued whilst fleeing. Footage was then stabilized by a reddit viewer:

>Xinhua News Agency, Jinan, May 9 (Reporter Zhang Zhilong) The reporter learned from relevant departments of Shouguang City, Shandong Province that at around 14:00 on May 9, the bromine tank of Shouguang Yumeng Chemical Co., Ltd. was tilted, and part of the bromine leaked. Short-term red smoke band. No casualties.

> After the accident, Shouguang City safety supervision, environmental protection and other departments immediately rushed to the scene to assess the disposal. At present, the site has been disposed of and the cause of the accident is under investigation.

> It is understood that chemical bromine is a red-brown fuming liquid that has strong irritating and corrosive effects on the skin and mucous membranes.

Glad only a small part of it overflowed, wouldn't want a significant incident.

What you see here is just the spill, not a result of chemical reaction or other runaway condition.
A Very astute observation, chum!
I'm also a Many-Worldser, but I don't quite know how to answer the question "How does the Born Rule work?"

That is, if "worlds" branch off with some amplitudes, and there's a "me" on this branch and another on that branch, how does it make sense to talk about the probability of "me me" being this one or that one?

Empirically we know how to calculate it from the amplitude, but why is that more reasonable than any other answer (if any answer is reasonable)?

> If you buy a new TV today, you’re most likely buying a “smart” TV with software from either the manufacturer itself or a third-party company like Roku.

> It has been repeatedly and consistently found that gun ownership leads to an increase in gun related injuries and deaths for the owners

This supposed factoid is frequently repeated in these sorts of discussions about gun-related data, but I have never been presented with convincing findings that support the thrust of this argument. Is this more true for guns than any other object? Is there such a strong casual relationship between proximity and firearms and subsequent injuries and deaths to overcome the other aspects of the discussion?

Every time it comes to actual hard-hitting facts, this argument seems to fall apart. Perhaps you can help me understand its basis better?
I second that. A few years ago, I began reading the first book of the trilogy after lunch to kill time, and got so bored and nearly gave up nearly 1/3 ~ 1/2. And then suddenly the idea became clear. I couldn't put it down and skip the dinner to finished it.

And the second and third books got even better. Especially the third one was mind-blowing beyond description at that time for me. I was sad when I finished them all because I didn't know when I would have a similar experience on another book/series.
This is going to be a bit cumbersome for those using Thunderbird or Mail.app (on Mac) or Outlook (Mac) over (plain) IMAP — the document instructs users to remove and re-add these accounts. That would mean (in my understanding, at least of Thunderbird) re-downloading all mails and folders once again into the newly setup account in the client. Those who use only a single device are probably going to have to schedule this appropriately to avoid having no visibility into mails for sometime.
Obviously 737MAX and paragliders cannot be compared directly but paragliders don't come with an inherently dangerous design that is not disclosed to the pilots. Gliders do have failure modes but that is O.K. because pilots are trained to handle these. No surprises, therefore safer than 737 MAX with MCAS.

Hundreds of people died, Boeing repeatedly tried to deny the existence of the problem, the responsibility and at the end, the CEO only lost his seat in the board and nothing else. A deeper look unveiled multiple scandals about Boeing and FAA and you are complaining that I am vilifying this company? You have to be kidding me.

Why is it every discussion on this site that involves any technology that is a nerds childhood dream needs to be whitewashed? It’s so predictable and eye rollingly childish
The subject "gun violence" seems like it has inherent presuppositions. Research on violence in the generic seems far more neutral.

Moreover, there hasn't been a ban on research on the subject of gun violence - it is simply that this is the first time money specifically for research on that topic has been allocated.
Put another way, which would you rather do, indirectly kill people or break the law? This is the decision a hospital administrator would be faced with. I suspect that most people would see fit to disobey the law in this situation. It could easily be argued to be a legitimate case of civil disobedience.
Brent Spiner is by far the best actor on TNG. Even Zuck wearing a Cmdr Data skin is an inferior copy.
well, kind of. I think it is pretty common to have a base amount of compute you need, but still need the flexibility to elastically scale up when required. So real workloads are generally a mix of elastic and reserved rates. But how much of each really depends on the workload, so cockroachdb did the easy thing, and just compared the on-demand prices.

Also, there are a lot of things that the big cloud providers manage for you. I haven't dealt with DC managed-hardware, but I imagine that you probably have to do a lot more to set up networking, provision VMs on raw hardware, etc.
I'm definitely not distinguishing between determinism and superdeterminism.

The wikipedia page on superdeterminism starts out:

"In quantum mechanics, superdeterminism is a hypothetical class of theories that evade Bell's theorem by virtue of being completely deterministic"

Logically, something that is "completely deterministic" would have to be...deterministic, no? Does superdeterminism go to 11?
Do you think emphasizing all-cause mortality is questionable in fields where that metric is used? I think these metrics can be better for scientific NPOV because they don't presuppose so much.

The majority of people live in urban centers.

One of the biggest difficulties in modern America is bridging the urban/rural divide:

My father, living in a rural area, purchased a shotgun for home defense -- when 911 was accidentally dialed, the sheriff's response time was roughly 30 minutes. Their primary political concerns revolve around taxes and regulation. Sometimes a bear walks through the neighbor's yard.

At our house in the city, on the other hand, I can throw five burritos and hit five other residences. I can't imagine firing that same shotgun in our house, as our windows and our neighbor's windows are in direct opposition. Police response times are quick, but we have people camping in the bushes across the street, a car break-in thrice a decade, and the occasional heroin addict passed out in the park, needle still in his arm.

These are two entirely different modalities of living, and we are trying to apply federal law to both. The second amendment is essential to our democracy, but it is increasingly difficult to argue with the growing calls to address gun violence as a public health threat. Nobody wants to get shot, everyone wants to live free and out from under the thumb of a tyrannical government. We can find a way.
The timezone isn't for parsing addressing headers, it's for parsing date headers. And actually, that file isn't for parsing email addresses, it's for parsing addressing headers in mail messages.

The code I wrote for parsing email headers is here: https://github.com/jcranmer/jsmime/blob/emailutils/headerpar... . A decent chunk of it is building a full lexer for email headers, and trying to cope with only supporting internationalization support in a few cases where they need to be supported. And the corner cases for that i18n support are really nasty.

I ordered an item in early Nov. It was given a tracking number and marked "on it's way" a day later. The day after its expected arrival, the status updated to "delayed" and told me come come back after Nov. 8 if it still hadn't arrived. The tracking number (Amazon) was never clickable so I couldn't get any info. The item never arrived but I also was never charged, so I just ignored it.

Black Friday, I got charged for the item but nothing else changed about my tracking. A few days later, after a similar search, I found the help link and got a refund. To this day, I have no idea whether my item ever made it out of the warehouse.
>Isn't the world economy built on the idea that markets will always go up?

Not really. Recessions are where there is less spending and production, not when the stockmarket goes down.

While stockmarkets and property prices and the like to tend to go up and up in nominal terms a lot of that is because of the currency they are denominated in losing value through inflation. If you adjust for that there is much less of an uptrend.

Why should any company be forced to support a sale they've already made? Unless they are beholden to a warranty promise, a return policy, or it was promised at the time of purchase that support would be available for some amount of time, I don't follow this thought process at all. This actually sounds like a way to run a company/industry into the ground, or make the original products prohibitively expensive - to account for the cost.

>If you can't handle a support call, don't take my money.

Was there a promise of support at the time of purchase? If so, then yeah, that's a problem worth caring about. If not, then why give them money?

Yes, that's the reason - exactly 10 minutes is a sort of magic number for YouTube, because that's the threshold at which you can place more than one ad on a video and control their placement. Notice how the runtime is 10:02? That's a sure sign that the creator had to stretch their video out.
