I see it as yours but recognize it as probably being read like the parents as not only is the default behavior for absense of evidence to treat it as evidence of absense or subtly of magnitude the fine distinction is lost on most.

It is anti-communication in context as cunningly putting effort into /not/ being clear. If they truly weren't sure a more honest form would be "We have neither confirmed nor denied the possibility of human to human transmission."

> whatever assumptions he has about open source is not a fantasy

I no way am I going to accept anyone's opinion based on what project they are associated with. If Linus Torvalds says something about open source or free software, I'll read what he says and make my opinion based on what he is saying, not based on that he was the original creator of Linux.

Anything else is just appeal to authority and we would do much better in discussions if we didn't do that.

It is much simpler than that: it is to make sure you won't trust any kind of communication anymore. And that in turn will undermine democracy more than anything else. If 99% of the stuff on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and for all I care HN is nonsense, why would you continue to believe in that 1%? At what ratio do you stop to absorb new, potentially faulty facts simply to protect yourself? The 5G/Coronavirus one is easy to dismiss. For us. For my mom, not so much.

> there are technical measures in place that allow you to verify the build you're using yourself.

There are no technical measures for Signal in place that allow anyone to verify the build all ends of said end-to-end encryption are running nor any technical measures to ensure the software they are running won't be updated with compromised end-to-end encryption by the vendor in the future. The measures I talk about address both points by removing trust from the vendor and distributing it across many independent entities.

> if Signal was doing an active MITM attack against their own encryption, that would be eavesdropping which is a felony in the US.

It's not just legal anywhere in the world, it's what a lot of software already does.

Anyway, if end-to-end encryption requires the exact same level of trust as TLS, there is no point in it. It's only useful in truly open source messengers, not Signal, Whatsapp or other binary blob centralizedly controlled messengers.
O'Reilly assigns the animals from the menagerie. The first two SRE books had lizards, so this book is consistent with that. It is a Chinese Water Dragon... now I had asked for a fire dragon since that's my Chinese zodiac sign. That's not a real thing, so I'm pretty satisfied with our water dragon!
It's been so long I really can't recall anymore. (Edit: but just like you, I do remember that I had the ICQ window visible at pretty much all times, and I could comfortably fit an Emacs window, the contact window a chat window on my desktop's 1024x768 screen.)

That being said, the window in that screenshot is about 200 x 320 px. It would have taken about a third of the horizontal space of the screen, and about 2/3rds of the vertical space of a 640x480 screen. It was certainly usable -- way, way more usable than Skype on a full HD monitor today -- but lots of stuff was claustrophobic in 640x480.

(Then again, most modern apps are practically unusable if you resize their window to 640x480...)

No, you're putting words in their mouth.

You have your head in the sand if you don't think people use perfectly legitimate encryption service to discuss illegal activity. But that is not a reason to ban encryption. The entire US constitution is built on the premise that people have rights.

But it has always been true that some people use their rights to avoid having their criminal activity detected. That doesn't make our rights any less important.
If drivers are doing something that they shouldn't be, and there's a fairly straightforward way for them to avoid negative consequences, then this is a matter that is out of scope of public policy.

Been thinking about VR workspaces since sometime in the '80's. Broadly, they suck. It seems so cool but in practice VR adds pointless overhead to efficient UI. Windows with affine transformations suck at their one job. Very few people use Second Life as an IDE.

The big win, as far as I can tell, would be to engage the user's spacial memory. (There is a small but non-zero niche for 3D visualization of complex systems: weather, large molecule, etc.) You're going to want to combine "memory palace" with "zooming" UI in a kind of pseudo-3D (I think of it as 2.618...D but the exact fractal dimension isn't important I don't think.)

That's exactly what it is, and so is python's range(15):

>>> list(range(15))
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]

The important thing with syntax is to avoid the illusion of understanding. That's when the language user is confident that the syntax means one thing when it actually means something else. If the user is not sure what something means, they'll look it up in docs or maybe write a few toy examples to make sure it does what they think it does. Python's range() is ambiguous enough that I did this when I was learning the language. I was pretty sure it would create a range from 0 to 14, but I wanted to make sure it wasn't inclusive (0-15).

Examples of the illusion of understanding abound. These aren't all true for everyone, and HN users have been writing software long enough to have internalized many of them, but every language has them:

- Single equal as assignment. Almost every newbie gets bitten it. They see "=" and are confident that it means compare (especially if it's in a conditional).

- x ^ y means xor, not "raise x to the power of y"

- "if (a < b < c)" does not do what newbies think it does.

- JavaScript's this.

Sometimes syntax can make sense on its own, but create the illusion of understanding when combined with another bit of syntax. eg: Python newbies will write things like "if a == b or c" thinking that it will be true if a is equal to either b or c.

The illusion of understanding is the cause of some of the most frustrating troubleshooting sessions. It's the thing that causes newbies to say, "Fuck this. I'm going to do something else with my life."
Signal is not built for anonymity. It's built for message privacy. It's a lot like PGP in that the government know who emailed whom, but they cannot read the email. That's the whole point. If you are trying to hide your phone number, Signal is not going to help you and it's not meant to.
Just to toss off one more worthwhile idea to you since it seems like you're interested in this topic. p-zombies is not the most challenging scenario strong-AI deniers are likely to face. Brain cell replacement is.

With p-zombies you have two observers outside the system arguing about the system's inner life. With brain cell replacement, you have the subject directly and quite authoritatively experiencing the system in question and reporting back.

It seems many times more likely some of us will live to see this, but you just never know. Newtonian mechanics had it all locked up save for a few details and look what those details held.

Every brain science / cog-sci paper it seems has some alternative amputating conclusions to pronounce about consciouness.

They sort of have to do that because of the funding model they live under. Positive results only ! It's not the researcher's fault; I don't fault them. I just adopt a highly skeptical, wait and see, there's-probably-more-to-the-story attitude generally in science, that, and the more concrete counter-arguments I mentioned in my other comments make me a very highly dissident observer of this field.

Thanks for the link, I sent an email with it.
Agreed. What I get out of that is that we can get more useful info out of perspectivism if we look beyond just the individualism-collectivism way of framing perspective and consider how the fact that some scientists favor holding interdisciplinary perspectives so that they basically have more ingredients for their guts to cook up new hypotheses with implies that there exists an area of study where you examine the relationship between holding one or many perspectives and the conclusions that follow, which could serve as a less subjectively constrained way of thinking about thinking.

I also agree that this is borderline self parody because it's much too thick with itself to be an enjoyably stimulating read, at least for anyone who isn't well versed in the vernacular already. It also has a ton of typos given the level of language it's trying to use.

Not a noob question! It's a deep and interesting question. :)

Pricing art is harder than pricing most other things since artworks are, by definition, non-fungible / unique. This makes it hard for there to be a "correct" price. For the most part, we address this by letting our artists set their own prices (they have more information than we do.) Other factors that play in are the cost of materials and labor (often hundreds of dollars per painting) and the potential for the artwork to go up in price some day, like a stock.
> What their understanding and expectations in the open-source world are

Thanks for putting it like that, it's completely true and I agree. Many people have an understanding and expectation of Open Source that not even the definition of Open Source agrees with (https://opensource.org/osd), which is contributing to this problem. That was a bit of the point of my comment.

The article doesn't require anything, but in general, most people see OSI as the organization who stewards a lot of things around in the Open Source world. If people cannot even agree about the definition of Open Source, we're in for a real treat now when companies start to abuse it.

> You can say that you use a more restricted definition, and that is it.

Again, I'm not going by my own vision of Open Source (as the article's author does), I go by the Open Source Initiative's definition of open source, which again, you can read here: https://opensource.org/osd

What are the chances the fed makes money overall on these junk bonds?

Buy enough of them and you might prop up the economy long enough for the bonds to come to term and be repaid.

Buying any one individual bond would have been lossmaking, but buying in such volume proves profitable due to a kind of network effect?

Is this likely/possible? Is it possible someone other than the fed could have done this? Like maybe a foreign government (China, EU, Saudi Arabia)?

Yeah really, but I'm a very experienced dev so what I'm getting from it is likely very different from your experience. Consider looking into git or some other version control. If you are deleting stuff that breaks your code, you want to be able to go back to a working version, or at least look at the code from the last working version so you can see what how you broke it.

The Truth About Isaac Newton’s Productive Plague
You're completely misinterpreting (I'm the author of (1)).

C++ and javascript are languages of professional software engineers, of which there are many many more languages with various pros and cons.

Python has been the defacto standard in scientific/data/academic programming for decades. The only other language you could say rivals it would be MATLAB which is even more simplistic.

My point is that simplicity and clarity matters to people who don't care that much about programming and are completely unfocused on it, they are just using it do get data for unrelated research.

'if __name__ == "__main__"' is not in the example code nor is it a required part of a python program so not really sure what your point is here.
I'd be interested to see why the author would be unable to use the ports interface to work with the API of his package.

My understanding about why the core team is being so controlling over the native modules access is that they're trying to prove that each native module is pure, so they can make assumptions and declarations in the compiler that the code produced is pure. By forcing unblessed/unreviewed modules to use the ports interface they can maintain this assumption. Without doing this you lose all of that assumption and your compiler falls apart, if it's based on that assumption.

I'll concede that Žižek has a flair for theatrics, but I agree with Žižek that Peterson's claims are "pseudo-scientific" because they are fundamentally not truth-claims that are falsifiable. It's simply not science to say the things he's saying. He may wish to use science to fortify his philosophical or sociological claims, but you can't do that without making statements that are fundamentally at odds with the scientific method.
