Yeah, but this ad cancer has spread everywhere. My Samsung TV just yesterday started showing ads for chocolate in the home hub, the TV that I bought full price, not subsidised, no nothing, started showing ads in my living room for chocolate. I saw threads on reddit about this some time ago this, but never experienced it,. Now, happening to me, it felt so weird and wrong, like my home was being invaded by a big Mondelez brand that I would never in my life buy.

>to feel something

This is a phrase I hear in American discourse a lot. What does it mean?
Because housing is typically such a bad investment, it actually only makes sense in some cases because you get your mortgage on margin.

I see this argument all the time but once you do the math, it comes down close to the same with the house being leveraged and index funds without leverage (also known as the 5% rule)
Thanks for your feedback! Very good points!

But all that is very controversial and imbued with political bias. This is why CS ethics courses and the 'liberal arts' have a bad reputation: they claim to be teaching some sort of universal ethics but are actually just teaching left-wing propaganda.

For instance, from a libertarian perspective I'd argue:

- Social media makes democracy stronger because people can communicate more. There's little to say beyond that.

- AI surveillance is no different to surveillance powered by people, except cheaper. It has no real impact on anything beyond scale, which may make a practical difference but makes no fundamental difference to any arguments about surveillance. A much better question would be how cryptography affects surveillance and human rights, but very few ask that except the politicians and investigators it actually affects. This is because questions in the media about "AI" are almost always standard leftist anti-capitalism targeting tech firms whilst posing as something new. AI is merely a prop to start tired old conversations, not a real interest.

- "The emergence of tech firms with the resources of nation states" being the very next bullet after "AI" is just re-inforcing my point. You aren't interested in tech ethics. You want to debate capitalism itself, which universities and academics have wasted far too much time on over the centuries. The resulting "debates" have yielded no insight but lots of violence, subterfuge and general chaos.

It's also - like the other question - based on false premises. There are no tech firms with the resources of nation states. A very few might appear that way if you compare arbitrary and incomparable statistics like GDP vs market cap, but those don't measure the same thing. As a simple example showing how false this is, tech firms can't make law or raise an army, which even the tiniest and most useless nation states can and do.

However, good luck arguing any of these points in a paper required by such a course and not getting a fail grade. Universities are the absolute last places that should be trying to teach ethics.

Completely agree with this.
Homeowner usually understand very little about investing. As you said it is intoxicating when it goes up a 5 or 10% a year but pretty much invisible if it goes down or stays flat (since the mortgage is seen as an alternative to rent).

The problem with ICEs is not that they emit carbon dioxide but that the fuel they use is from fossil sources. This adds additional carbon into the carbon cycle which was 'locked away' for millions of years but is now re-introduced into the shorter term carbon cycle with all the effects that has.

So theoretically one could have carbon neutral ICEs by not using fossil fuels, which could be sourced by converting carbon dioxide into fuel:

I don't think that this is a reasonable thing to do though. Go electric instead. Producing and transmitting electricity is easier and also more flexible as different sources (solar, wind, hydro, nuclear...) can be used.
Hat tip: reddit/r/writingprompts. A poster provides a single line describing a premise and commenters write short stories. It's a great way of getting triggered to be creative.

The difference between gaming / youtube is that writing is producing. You're creating something. And that triggers different parts of your brain making you feel like you're accomplishing something.

Beware though. Writing short stories can become a procrastination in itself! For instance, instead of doing homework, you write a short story.

Managing yourself is also being aware that your mind works at different speeds. Read up on Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow to get the idea. The big challenge each of us faces is learning to live with yourself and striking the right balance.

I'd pay some seriously good money for some information about how to efficiently meditate with ADD. From my experience, it is a poor tool to improve one's condition, and ADD makes it nigh impossible to efficiently meditate anyway. I have done some googling on that topic and only find lame "meditation for wellbeing" BS all around, but nothing clearly targeted for ADD.

This program puts forth an attempt to show certain propensities in a limited capacity to focus time.The program is concocted as an enhancement to your day by day schedule. Despite the fact that the outcomes may fluctuate from individual to individual, the program is intended to furnish you with a reestablished feeling of life rapidly. The program adequately utilizes the idea of trance and effectively moves the improvement of a human personality.

Having read the original description of the challenge[1] I don't think you're correct. I think what they're doing is trying to identify the types of photos and descriptions that are successful so they can do more of them. Like: Do you want the dog bounding through a field or do you want them snuggling up on someone's lap in the photo? That sort of stuff.

I mean, you're right, you could just run the tool, find the ones that are unlikely to get adopted and euthanize them, but I don't think there's any reason to believe that's actually their intention.

Java synchronization primitives and it's ability to flip bits incur heavy performance penalty when compared to native ones

I think your knowledge on this might be a bit out of date. If you look at the Unsafe class (in old versions of Java) or the VarHandle class in newer versions, you can implement synchronisation and bit flipping with the same efficiency as Delphi, indeed it compiles down to optimal machine code.

You are also free to point me to a good DirectX framework in Java and/or the one that let's you write Directshow and Media Foundation filters and graphs as well.

Well, you can do this, albeit nobody really does because Java code tries culturally to be cross platform so using DirectX would be an odd thing for it to do. There are COM frameworks that let you write COM objects in Java. Whether you can do high performance image processing does depend on whether the JITC auto-vectorises though, at least until the vector API ships.

But you can for instance instantiate a JavaFX video player and then apply hw accelerated effects to it. Writing your own image filters would these days be best done in shader languages or lots of AVX anyway, so neither Delphi nor Java would really be appropriate for that.

Windows desktop: sorry I'll choose Delphi any time.

Yes, if you want to specifically write a Windows-only desktop app (that isn't WPF/WinUI/the new stuff I guess) and use lots of Win32 specific APIs, then Delphi is going to be better at that. On this we fully agree.

Still, these days people mostly want to write for at least Windows and macOS if not also Linux. And then you can write a good desktop app with JavaFX and the java packager tool (with native installers and the general appearance of a themed Windows app).

FWIW I used Delphi for years in the 1990s, even wrote a 3D video game with it in OpenGL. I've also written cross platform desktop apps with Java/JavaFX. So I have a lot of experience of both to compare them against. Delphi was fantastic at the time, and I still sometimes point out to people how the web platform fails to compare to even Delphi 2 + Windows 95 in many ways. I don't think we're really so far apart. But times have changed and Delphi wins only if you compare it to the web.
With higher-kinded types on the long-term roadmap, I would definitely rank Rust as a high level language.

> Small vehicles are inherently unsafe, and are primarly marketed to people who dont know basic dynamics.

Or to people who need to park their car in a city. Or who rarely have to drive over 50 km/h. Or who can't afford a larger car.

There really are a lot of reasons for having a smaller car, it's quite ingenuous to chalk it up to "not knowing basic dynamics".
> But to me it feels like the major divisions as we know them in English are intuitive beyond language.

Did you perchance grow up as an English speaker, or a speaker of a language with a set of colour terms similar to English?

> Surely when you look at grass and the sky you feel you need different terms to describe them

Well, I'd guess that all languages have different words for sky and grass. The difference is how you relate those words to words for other things that have similar colours. There are many languages with less colour terms than English, but also some with more - and as far as I remember it's usually green and blue that have more shades, if you'll excuse the pun. Like the slice of spectrum covered by green-blue in English will be covered by more words in some languages.
I hadn't heard of Kiss, looks cool. I'd say that the go-to simple linux option has been Slackware for a very long time. And the simple linux modern option is something like Void Linux. Simplicity largely comes from not using systemd in the case of Void, though I'd be reluctant to say the same of its (very powerful) package manager.

There's all these adblocker apps in the app store, but they seem rather scummy and the few I've tried don't appear to be working with Firefox anyways.

> It's an artifact of the culture of western aristocrats.

There are elements of truth in what you said. But liberal education is also the bedrock of western education and knowledge which includes STEM fields. Every stem field was created and advanced by those who came from "liberal arts education".

Also, liberal arts education has always included math and science.

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

Liberal arts education created the western world order. It's why the west is on top. It would be counterproductive to discard it. Perhaps we should just increase the share of STEM within the overall liberal arts education system?
It’s technically true that doctors need patients. But does anyone believe any doctor actually thinks in those terms?

Not just because it’s unethical. The mechanism doesn’t work: your future income will benefit a lot more from being regarded as a competent doctor, than it ever would from the minuscule damage you could do to public health with being purposefully bad.

I’ve also rarely seen doctors that cared about patient acquisition in the way normal businesses do. Since health care is somewhat expensive, governments tend to try running the system with a slightly low number of people.
Free Content Strategy for SaaS Companies in Early Phase
Hi there! After working in a marketing agency for 6 years and building out a couple of blogs to thousands of monthly readers, I would like to help some founders here who are interested in driving sales through inbound marketing efforts.

This month I want to help 3 Saas startups build out a content strategy for 2020. I am offering this service for free. Here is what we will do:

1. A full content audit of your current site to see what is working and what is not.

2. Full research on keywords to discover low-lying fruit opportunities.

3. A strategy on delivering quick wins for your blog based on current content.

4. Discover current SEO pain points for your industry and product (niche-specific only)

5. Find out what your competitors are doing.

6. Develop an extensive 2020 editorial calendar (work plan) informed by the above research.

7. List available distribution channels and develop a ruthless distribution strategy

8. Find ready-to-go guest posting opportunities for your Saas product - build credibility and incoming links to your Saas (Great for SEO and referrals).

Leave a comment below if you would like this. I am hoping to help out just 3 Saas startups for now due to time.

Because the NHS doesn't optimise for cost, it optimises for cost per QALY (quality adjusted life years). Given the high impact to quality of life for blindness your claim is dubious.

NICE make the decisions over cost effectiveness of treatments, and publish their findings. If you can tell me the name of the drug we can find the actual report.
We have a collective bargaining agreement and a huge Union where I work (Germany). The pay is still much less than USA for the same type of jobs.
This is also a fallacy.

Why do you think houses are going for 2 m$ in the bay area? Because the expectation that it goes up is already priced in. Also a good reminder that the return of the past are not an indication of future returns.

Buying in the bay area is de facto a speculative investment as rents are comparatively way cheaper. The only incentive for buying at those prices is the hope to sell it for even more to someone else later (see also, the greatest fool theory).

Not really. Unless they completely hijacked all DNS resolution under .org to IPs they control, fraudulently gain TLS certificates (using DNS-based proof), and proxy the traffic to the true IP. Not a realistic scenario at scale.

That would mean only 80-odd people know about IA, which seems a tad low :P

I suppose that means that for most people, 99.9999% of the world's population don't know they exist. Interesting thought. I wonder which living person is known of by the largest percentage, and what that percentage is?
Staying alive is more important. Larger cars are not significantly more expensive; people get to choose, some ride motorcycles, it's their choice, but we shouldnt gloss over the 2nd law.

Witold Pilecki – the man who volunteered for Auschwitz
Interesting. After some thought, I’d summarize that all taxes on income and assets..including property.. are inappropriate.

We should have a flat consumption tax for all. And a single one time child tax. It is in effect a double tax, but still will be lower impact than the cacophony of various taxes we have now...it can be used to fund education. Currently funded by property taxes.

a single flat consumption tax will stabilize economy. I suspect that it would also curtail consumption and carbon foot print. A tiered consumption tax might be punitive but not a terrible idea even though it ought to be a back up or a emergency measure during crisis situations.

Food, shelter, medical and educational expenses should be taxed after a minimal deduction.
We are a long way from making our energy carbon neutral. The UK is often cited as being ahead yet all we have done is pick the low hanging fruit. Dealing with the rest is going to get increasingly difficult and expensive.

If you are really serious about lowering your carbon impact then you will be visiting the bike shop rather than car showroom.
To feel excited, engaged.

Therac-25? That's normally taught as a safety and correctness issue, not an ethical issue. What exactly is the ethical lesson from Therac-25? Always use hardware interlocks when building machines that can kill people? Don't be over-confident and believe user bug reports?

There were lots of lessons to learn from Therac-25 but I'm not sure any of them would be classified as ethical.
