I'm pretty sure the mainstream view is that the moon "as a glowing disc" is entirely created by your brain.

It does not mean that there is nothing when no one is looking, just that what we see is a representation by our brain of something objective that we can't directly assess. The representation stops to exist when we stop looking. What part is representation and what part is objective is debatable.

Assigning more to the representation and less to the objective solves some problems neatly, like that of quantum entanglement.

Take Donald Hoffman's example of a cube drawn in perspective as lines on a piece of paper. In your mind you see a cube, but nowhere is there actually a cube. The front and back faces of the cube are entangled : if your mind has decided on the projection in which one face is the "front", the other face has to be the "back", and vice-versa if your mind has decided on the other projection.

Your comment is disingenuous and obfuscates the logic of the issue.

The combo of the NRC+CAA ensures that Indians without papers are liable to be in internment camps. If you don't have papers, you are declared an illegal. There are a lot of Indians who don't have formal documentation. There is also a lot of corruption that makes it possible for officials to reject formal documents. You then get declared illegal.

Once in an internment camp, you cant go anyplace else. If you are a muslim, you don't have the option of getting out of the camp at all. if you are a poor Indian or a dissenter of any sort, you will face the same logic and all documents you produce will be deemed unfit.

A single internment camp costs 40Crores to make. To house just the northeast's so called illegals, you need close to 25K crores. This is a government that has just recently said no to primary education budgets for lack of cash. You think they have the budgets for large scale concentration camps? No. They are building up for a pogrom.

This is straight up Nazi policy.

The other question I keep asking is how is this a legitimate government if all the voters themselves have been designated illegal/noncitizens by default?

Last question and a prediction, why is the government transferring the workload of proving citizenship on to the population? This is to make people protest. Given enough protests, they will flip the policy to say, "hear hear, no, we will find the illegals for you, no need to stand in queues." Once they do that, they will form squads and informers like in Nazi Germany and hunt down the "unwanted."
The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) included mandatory insurance funding for homeopathy, chiropractors, acupuncture, and naturopaths. My wife worked at a chiropractors office who got paid by Medicare to shock elderly diabetics legs while they chowed down on candy bars. Homeopathy is one of the dumbest scams known to man, and I don’t really know about the other two but I wouldn’t call them “medicine”. The more government there is around to fund things, the more dumb bloat there is and we’ll get more glorified massage therapists cutting children’s “tongue ties” and selling amber teething necklaces for $40. Let people waste their own money on this stuff.
It's not that it's random. It's that it is a non-linear, dynamic system. What that means is that if you have the perfect climate model (which, we don't) and you're off on your input of the parameters to that model by the slightest bit, the outcomes will veer off wildly from modeled expectations.

The Muslims that have been living in India according to the laws of the country won't be affected. Those that willingly went to Pakistan during the Partition got exactly what they wanted so why would they want to come back?

You probably forgot about atheists, LGBTQ, Jehovah's witnesses from Russia and Blacks from the US. When it comes to immigrants, India always had a policy to deal with one problem at a time. It's impossible to cover everyone and every problem with one bill. The Government has chosen to tackle the problem of religious persecution in our three neighboring countries that have Islam as their state religion, which is line with the approach.

> Arguments that say that other religions are persecuted in the neighbouring states, what about Myanmar? The Rohingya persecution has been going on for years and our government has done nothing notable about it.

Myanmar doesn't have a state religion. Not just Rohingya Muslims, even Hindus are persecuted in Myanmar. And they are not covered in the bill. One more thing, Rohingyas are known for some serious violence.

> What about Srilanka and the mass genocide of Tamils? Rohingyas and Srilankan Tamils are mostly Hindus. Why not extend the help to them too?

Tamils are victims of linguistic oppression instead of religious one. In the past, India has accepted large number of Sri Lankan Tamils. Heck, they even financed LTTE for a certain period of time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Lankan_Tamils_in_India

> Why focus only upon the Muslim majority nations?

Because non-Muslims are being increasingly harassed in those countries and unlike that of refugees from Sri Lanka and Uganda, this problem was never addressed.

There's a number of charities that have been exposed like this - care homes run by charities have been exposed for sexual abuse and violence, homeless charities have been exposed for selling data to deportation agencies. The situation there is different because people come to those organizations expecting help in a crisis or untenable situation and end up harmed rather than helped. In the case of people giving their genetic data to a for-profit corporation there is the reasonable expectation that that data is not and was never safe because any such organization is a target to friendly or hostile takeovers by organizations that wish to harm the users. So in one case it's a matter of a broken promise, an organization doing the opposite of what its very purpose of existence is, and in the other case it's just capitalism doing what capitalism does.

Amazon uses AWS for some new stuff. New AWS services high up in the stack like AI services run mostly on AWS. Most infra-AWS services run on foundational AWS services like EC2 and S3. Foundational AWS services (EC2, S3, DynamoDB, etc.) don't run on AWS for obvious chicken-and-egg reasons. For all of the things that are done by latecomer AWS services you can count on there being an unrelated internal tool, since clearly Amazon was doing those things before they launched those services.
I'd add that the opposite can be true, too. My 'command menu' is like VSCode's: you can narrow down the list of commands, and you can see the keyboard shortcut for running the command beside that.

I'm 1 kyu. I don't have any problem winning against two 6 kyus (I saw some experiments like that in the past.) There are simply too many things they overlook.
And two 1 kyus (or a room of them) won't win against a 4 dan. We're playing different games.

What happens is that the weaker players become a little better at don't making reading mistakes and at finding possible moves. Unfortunately they don't get any better at evaluating moves and the unknown unknowns are still unknown. The better player finds moves that none of the weaker ones would think about or be able to explain.

I can imagine that the knowledge about the game of two 11 kyus have a smaller intersection than the ones of 6 kyus. This means they become much better together.

However two 1 kyu have about the same knowledge, so they could be at most 1 dan together, probably still 1 kyu.
I am aware of that. I am also aware of the Nellie massacre. I am not sure how far you read Assam's history. The dis-trust of Bengali language imposition originated during the British era who brought many Bengali babus from Bengal for administrative jobs to their newly acquired Assam(most of the current's NE states). The result was, from 1836 to 1873, Bengali became the official state language in Assam. and for a community whose identity is primarily based in the Assamese language, it was a big blow. Even in present time, in Barak valley of Assam, Assamese is not recognized as a state language. Some politically motivated leaders still keep talking about throwing out the Assamese language from the entire state. Only between 1991 and 2011, the share of Assamese speakers in the state fell from 58% to 48%. This is matched by a quick rise in the share of Bengali speakers from 22% to 29% during the same period. Let's be clear, Bengali is the fourth largest speaking language in the world. All the immigrants from Bangladesh are speakers of Bangla. The suspicions of Bangla as an imposing threat to Assamese identity will remain.
I mean it seems bad on paper but my uncle just recently got cancer and despite having no money is now cured. He ended up on disability, but he received prompt treatment. It just sort of works out. My daughter was born when I was unemployed and this actually ended up being better for us, as the private insurance would have had a copay but instead Medicaid applied retroactively and then covered her 8 month NICU stay. Thank you, taxpayers, for supporting my daughters $300,000 a month hospital stay.

Maybe some people’s lives get ruined by medical debt but I’ve never met them. People just don’t pay and even mortgage companies just sort of shrug and barely care when you’re getting a loan.
> Free consumer products are not the same as paid enterprise services.

They may have different revenue models, but there is little difference when it comes down to management killing services which aren't profitable.

If there is a difference, it is that Reader could be maintained at little cost, while GCE (when it gets the axe) could potentially be costing google hundreds of millions per year to keep running.

There have been plenty of other cases where google has burned bridges with the technical crowd which they should have embraced as champions for selling services. Killing off XMPP support was another prime one for me, and absolutely affected paid enterprise customers as well.

Everyone ever using a POC application in a store - the DOS/Windows kind, from before the current generation browser-based nonsense?

If you saw them, you probably noted they were fully keyboard-operated, had a lot of functionality accessible under function keys, and enabled the clerks to accomplish a lot of tasks without actually looking at the screen(!). You can't beat something like a muscle-remembered "F2, enter, enter, <type name>, tab, enter, enter" with a dropdown menu. I've seen cashiers do the former faster than it'd take to select a single option from a menu.

The only way I can imagine Tog's assertion to make sense is if we're comparing a mouse menu vs. looking up a shortcut on a physical, printed cheat sheet (which is essentially a menu-equivalent), for an operation that you're using for the first time in your life. None of that resembles actual use of real software.
Even the term “keyboard shortcuts” implies that the mouse+menu is the default. They are simply keyboard commands or keyboard operations.
Yeah, seems like he vastly overstates things. ssds are great for relational databases. They all use them.
Are all your execs now spreading misinformation in random HN threads? Was your CEO not enough?

Making it sound like Mark Karpeles had no real association with PIA is disingenuous.

You say this yet PIA says diferent in your official statement

Sure, maybe it's the parent company but based on how they were structured it seems likely that the CTO of LTM had a lot of influence. Moreover, he was hired as a CTO somewhere by the same people making the big decision at PIA..

Also we can look through your CEO's comments from 2 weeks about Mark. E.g.

>You don’t know a person until you see them in the toughest of situations.

> Obviously, meeting the energy demand of a high-growth world would require new sources of carbon-free power in amounts beyond the IPCC’s most optimistic scenarios. But we are already stuck hoping for a global political breakthrough. Technological breakthroughs are less far-fetched a solution. And a mass embrace of abundant energy is more realistic than sudden globally coordinated altruistic self-abnegation. ...

> Rather, shifting our mindset from austerity to abundance will open up the political space necessary for imagining these answers and pursuing them

So, Law of Attraction from New Thought philosophy meets techno-optimism?

I mean, it isn't like people aren't already trying to figure out new sources of carbon-free power, because abundance makes profit.

Jared Diamond's book "Collapse" gives several examples of successful 'altruistic self-abnegation'.

The CFC ban was globally coordinated. So were the limits on the use of Antarctica.
Unless they of course keep it to themselves. If employer hired you for data entry and nothing else. And there is no other work for that employer, is it fair that you automate the job and not get rewarded for it somehow? The only way to make things just might be keeping it from your employer. If the employer was intelligent they would have realized they could automate it in the first place and this type of employer likely will not reward the employee, but instead just get rid of him/her.
Yes, it's not same and is something akin to India's caste discrimination. Besides, it complicates things. Tomorrow, what if the Pakistani state declares Wahabis and Salafists as non-Islamic? Do we pass an amendment to accommodate them too?

Well, it doesn’t serve the interest of those who are trying to make a living to buy the latest Jordan’s for 200$ a pair, live in the most happening part of the city where rent is a premium, and go out every week to the latest trendy restaurants. Of course my experience with my fellow 20 somethings are anecdotal, I believe We are doing this to ourselves. I can buy a house now in a very expensive part of the city and I’m 30. I saved, and most importantly invested, while others were lavish and spent. Yet they want the easy route?

My generation forgot what meant to live in moderation. All the drinking, poor diet from restaurant outings several nights out of the week is not good for health or the wallet which affects the former thing.

I remember a discussion here on HN about how it makes life very hard for organizations like a school in Africa where the Internet connection is slow and expensive. Although many requests go many times to same pages (e.g. Wikipedia), HTTPS makes it impossible to cache them with a local cheap proxy.

HTTPS is cargo-cult'ish in this aspect. One obviously should not accept or serve personal data over HTTP, but why to encrypt public information? (Having said that I'm guilty here too as I blindly followed the instruction given to me by my hosting company and my plain open site redirects to HTTPS.)

Mattermost CEO here,

Thanks for highlighting this. It's a ticket from two years ago and this thread is a good opportunity to share more of the context and intention of how we think about Team Edition vs Enterprise Edition.

I've shared a reply on the ticket here: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/6320#...

Also, I don't know if the ticket title is highly accurate--a non-admin can't delete any channel:

1) There is no "Delete Channel" in the UI only "Archive Channel"

2) A non-admin cannot archive any channel, only channels of which they are a member.

3) A non-admin archiving a channel they created is not really an issue, so this ticket is really about a "Non-admin can archive a channel which they are a member of but didn't create" which we've seen can be more helpful than harmful--when someone leaves a team and their out-of-date channels remains anyone can go and archive them without having to find an admin and make a request.

The current wording sounds like non-admins can delete private channels, channels on different teams, channels they're not part of, etc. and in my mind it's not the case. But perhaps other people have a different read?

This isn't about cryptography. It's just that any VPN server must know the IP addresses it's communicating with. So with one VPN, someone can just look at the traffic logs.

But with two VPNs chained, neither one knows both your IP and the IPs of the sites that you access. And the longer the chain, the more collusion an adversary needs.

But yes, you're also encapsulating multiple levels of encryption. I do appreciate that potentially increasing the risk of breaking the encryption. However, I'm willing to accept that in exchange for not being so trivially findable.
