I lived in Utah for 8 formative years (moving in from another country). I must say that growing up there and not being a part of The Church was very culturally jarring, even though I wasn't in Provo. Here is a good summary of our treatment as the only non-religious family in our neighborhood:

We regularly brought cookies for Christmas to everyone on the street. When seeing surrounding houses shoveling snow, we would offer to use our snowblower to help. But when my mother fell on the driveway while struggling with two garbage bins and shouting for help, not one neighbor came out - not even the very pious bishop's family next door. She laid there in filth, and no one came.

My mother is an engineer. Her experience in Utah tech was a constant drain on her mental faculties (read: suggestive comments from her male colleagues, pointed questions about the welfare of her children, etc.). Coming from the country we did, she was used to it, but I still found it amazing to see in America. In a very large Utah company, a line was crossed and she filed an HR complaint about an individual. This individual had little technical ability, but was known to be very religious and ingratiating to superiors. On the very same day he took a higher position, he laid my mother off - that's after ten years with the company, and every year her performance was commended with a raise, even when many other employees in the company started seeing years without raises! She was a stellar employee, but this individual's first action as manager was retaliation against the only female on the team for one HR complaint.

Eventually, we could not take it and all left the state - I left as soon as I turned 18, my mother in now an engineer in a different state. After more than 8 years, we were still treated like strangers in our own neighborhood.

The cultural shift doesn't feel too jarring on a visit - it's barely perceptible. But years of it starts to feel like social shunning.

NASA’s Mars 2020 mission scheduled for 30 July 2020
NASA is scheduled to launch a mission to Mars at the end of this month. It will carry the Perseverance rover to the red planet, where it will search for signs of extraterrestrial life. The launch is currently scheduled for 7:50 AM EDT, but the launch window extends to 15 August.
There are a few things which are either enforced directly by Bazel (i.e., Bazel takes an opinion on how build systems should work and gives an error if you try to make it work otherwise). There are also a few assumptions which are now harmless, because Bazel will either check that your assumptions are correct, or make the build work as if those assumptions hold.

For example, "Build graphs are acyclic." Bazel enforces this. "Every build step updates at least one file." If your build step doesn't produce output, Bazel will complain.

"It's possible to tell the compiler which file to write its output to." "It's possible to tell the compiler which directory to write its output to." Bazel does this with sandboxes.
> Companies dont have a God given right to exist, nor to intrude upon me with ads, targeted or not, nor are they entitled to my attention. I could not possibly care less what the company wants.

Good for you. Use an ad blocker.

> The only effect banning advertising will have is that businesses will have to find another way to attract customers.

There is no better way in the 21st century than online advertising. Nothing even comes close. You want to remove online advertising, you will have to remove 80% of the companies that exist today as well causing huge unemployment.

> As for companies not existing without advertising are you serious? Billboards or some other passive advertising could still be possible,or how about we all opt in to services we want to hear about.

You possibly can't be serious. Do you know how much it costs to run an ad on a billboard? It is the second most expensive form of advertisement after TV ads! Technology has enabled us to reach people in better ways. If you want to revert back to ancient ways of advertising why not go all the way back to stone age where there was no form of advertising and everything was done through barter system?

> Companies have existed before modern advertising and will exist after.

Yes they have. But there were no trillion dollar valued companies pre-modern advertising. That is also a fact! You want to go back to printing ads in newspapers, using billboards and TV/radio ads? Not all companies can afford it. Majority of the advertisers (in terms of numbers and not revenue) are small mom and pop shops and startups. They do not have the capital to invest in these avenues. What you are suggesting is regression not progress!

I wonder if they were hunting hippos, or if they scavenged the bone from a carcass. Hunting hippos must either be an act of extreme confidence, or extreme desperation.
Most of those points are irrelevant.

The main relevant question is “why is a billion trees not enough?”, to which the answer is: as a rough guide, undoing emissions from 1850-2020 would require more than the total biomass of the entire planet.

It is also important to note that, even if it was physically possible to solve this problem in this way, you can tell it isn’t economical to do so, because if it was we’d already have fully (not partially) replaced fossil fuels with biofuels.
It's very powerful against a subset of problems, usually the kind of things that are affected by perception of severity, would heal themselves over time anyway etc etc.

It is literally impossible for us with our human eyes to perceive these fish in anything like their natural environment.

They aren't even black, to us. We evolved to see things in sunlight. These fish are black at the wavelengths present in the deep. That isn't sunlight but luminescence. Shine sunlight on them and they could be any colour, something irrelevant for a fish that may well live without ever seeing sunlight. So we have a black fish illuminated by a light our eyes were not designed to see, in a place so dark we see can see nothing. Those aren't great preconditions for an accurate photoshoot.
The one issue I can see with this if the original firmware has an outdated TLS trust store, reverting to the original firmware might make it impossible to update it via normal means. Whether or not this is good or bad is an exercise left up to the reader.
Taking a guess, the reason they're kidnapping many people just to release them without charges is because they're fishing for people with out of state IDs to strengthen the claim of federal jurisdiction. The lack of arrest paperwork fits with this - if they kept a paper trail of all their plainly unlawful attempts, it would risk upsetting whatever narrative they use to charge the unlucky ones.
These pants look fine. When I think of cargo pants, I think of ridiculously large pockets that really only work in the context of the baggy style of the late 90s/early 00s. It's not my favorite look (though it was when I was a kid), but you can make it work on some level. Anyway, when most people are criticizing cargo pants, I believe they have the jumbo pockets in mind. Another poster correctly noted that they ruin a silhouette. The pants you linked don't have this issue as far as I can tell.

Note, this is just my impression. Maybe there are people out there who just really hate extra pockets.
Except sadly that's not true. Anxiety medication usually does not improve anxiety. Same with the rest. But sometimes they do, and when it works it's enormously valuable to people.

Medication and talk therapies (including CBT) are more or less tied, from what I've heard.

You keep pointing that out as if it actually means something.
They're making a joke that Ruby on Rails takes a lot of memory
I don't think we can call Brigham Young's attitude and plethora of horrible statements about the African American race as anything OTHER than nefarious. It's systematic racism that "officially" ended in 1978 when blacks were finally allowed to hold the same priesthood as white 12 year old boys could hold. (and the "higher" priesthood level that 18 year old white boys can hold which also is a prerequisite for entering the LDS Temple). With that said, this systemic racism is still a thing as we've yet to see a member of the 12 apostles have anything other than white skin.

So, sadly, "nefarious" seems to describe it exactly.

Ask HN: Artificial General Intelligence: emergent consciousness impossible?
What is wrong in this?

Let's assume emergent consciousness is possible (whatever consciousness might mean), so that a program can eventually say "OK, I exist / feel / think".

How would this program understand time though? You and I (even animals) understand time by being present here and now. We can rely on our memory to know what happened before, but we don't confuse right now with the past. Not even a second back.

But for a program, with (say) a memory defined as a traversable memory, and cpu cycles defining the moments, all it can "see" is a database with states. It could traverse to any such state independently and declare that to be "now". It has no way of really knowing when is the real now.

Interaction with an agent solves some part of this problem. The newest feed from its sensors could define the now, or the last line of the database. But with perfect recall, why would the conscious program choose to stay there? For it, every state is as real as any other. Any interaction with its sensors might just be interpreted as noise in one dimension, something that can be tuned out with the appropriate response. With every passing tick, the traversal scope keeps increasing.

We don't have such a choice. I can't choose to live in the past (barring mental illness). But I guess what I'm saying is that such a program could choose to "live" in any state in its past.

Clearly this is absurd. Permutation City discusses this problem a little, but still thinks emergent consciousness is possible. I didn't find that satisfactory for the reasons above.

Any thoughts?

From my perspective, the main reason for most browser JS projects having a build system is to essentially concatenate modules and to transpile newer JS features so they work on older browsers. That’s really just not as crazy as you make it sound. I don’t know about the Linux VM stuff being part of a browser JS project, maybe I’m misunderstanding that part but it does sound crazy.
I hadn't even really thought about it, but I've had pockets like this for a few years in pants from Patagonia and Black Diamond. They are indeed quite nice, exactly as the author describes. Best for a phone or slender wallet.

Since this took place outside the Federal Courthouse during a riot where members of that group were attempting to burn down the courthouse, the Federal Officers have jurisdiction to arrest and prosecute any suspects at the event.

The officers in question have no duty to identify nor use police marked vehicles (note their uniform DOES say POLICE on it).

As long as the officers present the suspects in court with convincing evidence that they were personally involved, they're going to federal prison.

tldr: Do not try to burn down a Federal Courthouse. You will not pass Go. You will not collect $200.
Road transport is 11% of PM2.5 primary emissions and also 11% of PM10 primary emissions.

Domestic combustion (i.e., wood (primarily) and coal fires in domestic settings) is the top category of PM10 (44% of total) and second highest for PM2.5 (27%), after "industrial processes and use of solvents" (32%).

Notably, the resurgence of wood-burning fires in domestic settings has substantially increased emissions from that category over the past two decades (more than doubling it at a time when most other sources have been decreasing), and worse that's disproportionately in urban areas.

Does noise suppression work in reverse? Can I use it to isolate the noise from the human voices? There are lots of situations where someone might want to isolate and analyse background noises or conversations.
I left FANG for medicine. I think this is not a good argument for 2 main reasons.

1) People tend to compare FANG to family medicine. It wouldn't be more apt to compare the average tech worker making 100-200k to family medicine, or compare to some of the more competitive specialties.

2) Salaries are underestimated by many people. The best source is the MGMA is is often used to negotiate salaries by the hiring side. Unfortunately the data is expensive to access so few have it - there's an older screenshot someone took [1]. Further, these are biased lower since academic medicine and part time researchers tend to make less. You can also tailor you're career with more flexibility. Want to make $1M? Go for it. Want to work 2 weeks a year and still bring in 2-300k? Go for it.

Now if you want to live in NY or SF tech will pay more as medicine pays more as you get more rural.

> Does it revert the firmware to whatever it was shipped with (bugs and all)? Some vendors do, but most vendors do not.

I think if it doesn't revert to the firmware it had when shipped by the factory, it shouldn't be considered a factory reset.
I think this is where we are talking about two different things. Arguing with random people online is unlikely to change their mind, especially when visiting those forums which are frequently in conflict. Everyone has entrenched.

But in my daily life I have encountered people dabbling in conspiracy theories but not fully indoctrinated. Having long term conversations with them has helped in some cases. By long term I do not mean hours long arguments. I mean occasional conversations over the course of months.
This comes from readline, and there are many many useful shortcuts. For example "M-." (i.e. "Escape", then ".") to insert the last argument of the previous command.

Thanks for posting the link, by the way. Very illuminating to the DHS state of mind.
There are laws to prevent felons from having guns. Most people who murder with guns are felons. Some people want to make more laws to restrict gun ownership even further. So in the future maybe people who haven’t gotten a training certificate and who have not passed various tests cannot own a gun. In this case, people who carry around pistols might be seen almost as an extension of the police force who only become active in the most extreme situations where police are not available, because they are so thoroughly screened and trained. The man who head-shifted a terrorist in a Texas church comes to mind.

In this scenario, the number of guns carried by criminals would stay the same. And the amount of people murdered by guns will be the same. You know why? Because stop and frisk is racist. According to everyone, stopping people for 2 minutes to check them for guns is abhorrent, racist and evil. So criminals will always have guns in this country. There is no reason to pass laws one way or another.

Some say that stop and frisk is unconstitutional. I think I agree with this. So it follows that it is embedded in the constitution that criminals will be carrying around pistols. There is no changing this. I think that the only reasonable response is to allow ordinary people who are not criminals, not obviously insane and etc to carry pistols. It’s written in the constitution that we are allowed to do something like that. So if liberals want to be constitutionalists about stop and frisk, then conservatives have the right to be constitutionalists about carrying guns. If criminals are allowed to carry guns in practice then it is only reasonable to let their victims carry guns too.
My interpretation was precisely that: dad pants. Personally, I find cargo pants (and shorts my god) incredibly unflattering. Additionally, the proliferation of pockets is a bit silly for many people since phone, wallet, and keys are fairly easy to fit even in skinny jeans. If you need more than go for it and if you like the look, go for it!
> This is ableist because it claims that sick people are incapable of determining what is good advice and what is bad advice.

But that's exactly what happened here, the sick person was taken in by charlatans. How is that ableist? Not-sick people are also taken in by charlatans all the time, we blame the charlatans, the scammers, the frauds and the snake-oil salesmen for preying on people.
You never noticed that lots of people have purses? They are designed to solve exactly this problem :) Jeans designed for women tend to have smaller pockets and of course a legging or a skirt or dress doesn’t have pockets at all. The big downside with purses is that they require your hands and you can forget them on a train, unlike your pockets.

I imagine that’s why in urban areas the small corded Gucci/Louis Vuitton purses have become very popular with men and women alike, as they overcome some of the practical downsides, they’re more like fanny packs in the sense that they leave your hands free and stay close to your body. The fanny pack itself has made something of a comeback too, although now you wear them slung over a shoulder instead of around your hip.

I can't tell if this comment is serious... What makes you think the White House orders these arrests?

I would imagine that the local Federal offices are happy to arrest people who attempt to burn down a Federal Court house, and would have done exactly the same under Obama, Clinton, Bush, or Trump.
The NRA is the most recognized name in firearms training. A lot of states only recognize their training courses. A lot of the US gun community is unhappy with this since when we look at the history of the NRA (Negotiating our Rights Away) we see an entity that continually shows no attempt to stop the gross encroachment of 2nd amendment.

Make is actually pretty amazing for its simplicity, longevity, how it gets so much of the job done without doing very much. Yes there are pitfalls and caveats, good uses and bad, but the balance reached between simplicity and ability to be productive and get you most of the way is amazing.

I feel that when I hear somebody say they don't like make, usually they misunderstand this, or they think somebody's bad experiences with makefiles is somehow representative of the capability of the tool.

One person created make in a weekend in 1976. We are still talking about it. Most humans and most software will never achieve this.
