Mostly because he the object which creates the ideas and interacting with us is not his genes/body/brain but on the most abstract level it's his neural system, and the imperative you're talking about is imposed by his genes on his neural system (via brain wiring + hormones).

Since Joscha says that being adult means taking control of your emotions (I guess, to a point), so they serve your goals, and you're not at their whim, I wonder why he succumbs so easily to this specific emotion. Since having offspring has nothing to do with goals of his neural system (say... discovering the nature, advancing knowledge, exchanging ideas).

Goals of your genes != goals of your neural system (brain), and for the purpose of this conversation you are for me the latter.

He won't. I keep running into people like this all the time. They are hellbent on the idea that anything they don't understand must be meaningless, useless, or the fault of others. If you get a reply at all, I suspect it will be something like "pi is just a meaningless approximation to a real physical concept" or "infinite series don't actually exist in real life, I'll sum the first 1000000 terms on a computer and that's all that exists".

> Yes your DNS is a secret, just like your fingerprint is a secret.

But is it really? I think the point being made here is that actually it is relatively easy to obtain someone's DNA. Is there a law that prevents someone who knows your name from picking up a discarded coffee cup and extracting your DNA? I think it's an interesting debate. Is your face private? Is the sound of your voice private? Those things are unique to you but anybody that interacts with you will be exposed to those features including possibly your DNA. I guess the concern is how the data is collected, what it is used for and in the case of DNA the impact it has on anybody that has a genetic link to us. I think it's fair to consider DNA in separate category. There's only so much that can be deduced from your face as compared to DNA. It's tricky...
As an amateur singer, I feel deeply disappointed by the fact that Chris Cornell isn't on this list. The range this guy had was unbelievable, even in his later years. I personally find it easier to sing Guns and Roses songs than to sing Audioslave or Cornell's solo songs. Such a beast of a singer and composer.
Lots of empty promises:

* int: arbitrary size integers

* decimal: arbitrary precision, base-10 encoded real numbers

* timestamp: arbitrary precision date / timestamps, with ISO 8601 format "2019-05-01T18:12:53.472-0800".

So exact same drawbacks as JSON basically:

* Large integers will be casted to 32 or 64 bits in most languages no matter what.

* Arbitrary decimal will be casted to float or double as well.

* ISO timestamps are not well specified when it comes to millisecond, microsecond and timezone.

What It Takes to Make an Impact
You're assuming Android apps and iOS apps are the same market. Which they might be if they both ran on both kinds of devices and you could distribute iOS apps via Google Play or Amazon, but that isn't the case.

It's like having a regional monopoly. Even if Google has 80% of the world market, if no one but Apple has a store in California, they have a monopoly in California. If you (or any of your customers) live where they have a monopoly (i.e. have an iOS device) then no other app distributor is reasonably available.

Obviously they could change that by not restricting iOS users from using other app distributors. They separated iOS app distribution into its own market explicitly and on purpose, but that's still what it is. "Windows app distribution" might be its own market but Microsoft has no monopoly on it.
I'm puzzled by today's news on the vaccine. They were saying they would not make it available until it was proven "safe and effective". They said the vaccine may not be effective.

But my understanding is the previous trials demonstrated it was safe. If it turns out to be ineffective, at least no harm is done. So why not make it available? If it works, and is even only partially effective, it would be a big help.

I recall they said the vaccine would be considered "ineffective" if it worked something like less than 50% of the time. But wouldn't a 25% effective vaccine be a vast improvement over nothing?
I have a slimbook pro (the model before the silver keyboard) and sadly I am very unhappy with it, I got a fairly maxed out version and it's fans are always on full blast and I have found no way to keep the power management under control except throttling the CPU - so it is constantly overheated, suspend is not working properly and the chassis is not strong enough so the fans stall unless you have it on a flat surface. Note that I have some lenovo computer from work which is configured in the exact same way and there are no overheating or suspend issues.

I also got a pinebook pro and I managed to use it a sum total of 12 times (and only on flat surfaces with the power plugged in because otherwise the screen would flicker like a strobe light) before the screen completely gave up and now it's an expensive paperweight.

Still I will keep buying these things.. eventually someone will figure out how to make reliable laptops that align with the ethos of free software. I've researched system76, puri.sm and also lately the way too expensive MNT reform, but really the only laptop people seem to be happy with is thinkpad x220 / x230 which came out 12 years ago.... This makes me sad.

I would pay a lot for a super sturdy laptop which works (and aligns with the free software ethos).

Notion pages are so bad in those ways. Space/Shift+Space don’t work either, arrows do very much the wrong thing, they wrap all the text blocks with contenteditable (why!? it’s not even like I can edit the page!) which mangles at least Firefox’s link handling (it makes it not show the href in the status bar on hover) and Tab-based keyboard focus (it makes each block focusable, despite that being useless, and stops inline links from being focusable), …

It’s just awful. An accessibility disaster, and I don’t say such things lightly (normally I might just say it has serious problems).

If I come across much more usage of Notion, I’ll need to craft a user script to unbreak as much as I can. document.querySelectorAll('[contenteditable]').forEach(e => e.contentEditable = false) is a good start, fixing the focus issues. Unfortunately all their event handlers are on the root element, so you can’t just clobber them with document.body.outerHTML = document.body.outerHTML or similar but must figure out some other way of deregistering or breaking their event handlers.

LOL. There's no "fashion" in economics.

HN has its fair share of statists who due to their left-leaning values tend to be Keynesians (or worse, such as Magic Money Tree fans). There's no need to consider how economics actually works, because it's just a matter of choice and not right or wrong. For example Austrian economics is out of question because it favors minimal government spending, which doesn't play well with HN's Big Government fans. Why consider it when it's clearly a wrong choice?

> Also, debt is currently cheap to get, so for the government not to invest would be rather unrational.

Have you thought that one person's debt might be another person's asset?

And did it occur to you that the cheaper it is for governments to borrow, the more they steal from all who own that debt (including, but not limited to, your retirement fund)?

> And that is ignoring the downside on the income of a tanking economy.

Who says that "government investments" generate more income compared to investments made by private investors who invest their own money in things they usually understand pretty well?

I doubt you'd invest your money in a renewable energy fund managed by AOC. But here you are calling for exactly that because it's not your money. It's not hers either and that's how anyone who thinks can figure out how much income growth those investments can generate (none).

Do you not remember how this investment went?

I've ASUS TUF A15 laptop (Ryzen 4800H with GeForce 2060) with Linux and haven't experienced a freeze yet. I own that laptop for 2 months now, so it's not impossible I won't experience it, however so far - no freezes. There are some annoyances with it, but overall I'm more than happy with 4800H and what you get for that kind of money.

I gave my MSI Ghost Pro 4K gaming laptop to my mother to browse the internet and bought an XPS. For her, in windows, it works ok, and if she launches anything that needs the Nvidia card it'll enable/disable as required.

Using that laptop in Linux was the bane of my life, Optimus is hell and if you want to switch between Intel/AMD you need to reboot, no thanks.

You can't use it for VR if you have the type of Optimus I had, where if the display was connected to the Intel rather than to the Nvidia, it wouldn't work. If you left Nvidia on, and tried to use it as a laptop, you'd be lucky to get 20 minutes battery life (not exaggerating), so it was neither great for gaming nor useful for productivity.

You are arguing against `print('hello world')` working.
This is awfully negative. JSON explicitly does not declare the represented range of floats or integers, and doesn’t have a distinct arbitrary-precision decimal type. I haven’t read the Ion spec, only the description, but since it’s advertising arbitrary precision, presumably any implementation that does not support that is not a correct implementation at all.

Costs 50% more than any. Also inferior range due to 1000 small design & drivetrain details. Can't produce 100,000 of them per year, due to battery sourcing constraints. No global charging network that will make cross-country trips painless.

Technically charges at 350kW, but good luck finding more than a 50kW CHAdeMO along your route. Especially during congested hours. Porche claims intention to install 800 of the fastest charging points globally by 2020, but after years of dragging feet, onus is on them to prove it.

This is what most casual observers fail to get. It's not about the specs of the cars themselves, it's about thousands of small details in production & distribution infrastructure, charging technology and UX that go deeper than just paying a subcontractor to slap it on top.

Many manufacturers can, with a proper effort, make something that seems convincing at a casual glance. But creating a properly competitive product is hard and will take years. Along with a cultural change that I think almost none will mange.
You may be forgetting the massive cost of ramping up vaccine production to immunize 7 billion people.

Even at 25% effectivity, with so many other vaccines in the works it would be a huge waste to go with one that is barely effective when there’s another one that might work at 100%. Obviously the decision must be made eventually, but this is why they don’t rush it out.
> The Spanish invaded, conquered, and enslaved.

Name me one single culture that never invaded, conquered and enslaved other people. From Egyptians to Romans, Chinese, Muslims, Aztecs, Belgians, and of course US Americans. Everybody did it, and the other are dead.

Some people could argue that christianism, occidental medicine, and an unique lingua franca was definitely an improvement over the former myriad of isolated tribes unable to understand and speak with their neighbors, the trepanations to cure diseases, the wars against everybody and the human sacrifices and spreading terror as part of the way of life.

The current situation can be improved of course, but nobody would want today a world with followers of mayan or aztec gods.
The news also reported that they were going to manufacture the vaccine before the trials were complete so there isn't a delay following approval.

So it will be a sunk cost anyway.

(The government is paying for it. Frankly, that's cheap as dirt compared to the economic damage from months more waiting for it to be produced.)
> If you are doing a MPA, I would only use a session cookie and set the secure only flag as well as the same origin flag for the cookie.

I am doing an MPA. I am setting a session cookie, the secure only flag and the origin flag. But I am using JWT to store the ephemeral session id which is then compared on the server-side to the session cookie as a cross-check. A new JWT with new id is created for each request. That way the server remains stateless and the client gets new token back for each request; this token is then used in the next request. The only question I have is what are the disadvantages of doing this i.e. making each request independent of the other requests and then cross-checking the validity of incoming request by comparing id stored in the JWT with the one stored separately in another cookie.

That statement is a provable fact. FLT is "for all positive integers a,b,c and n > 2, a^n + b^n != c^n". Equalities and disequalities on natural numbers have no interesting proofs in the HoTT sense. That is, when x,y are natural numbers, x=y is either the empty type or the unit type. Formally, if FLT is the statement of Fermat's last theorem, we have isContr(FLT), which means that FLT only contains a single point.

The issue is that the terminology that is used in HoTT is highly confusing and contradicts conventional terminology. The word "proof" is used when it would be clearer to use the word "point" or "evidence" or "witness". With conventional terminology, there clearly are multiple proofs of FLT. But, when translated into HoTT, they all correspond to the same point/evidence/witness. It's similar to how there is only a single number 3, but there are many ways to write 3, for example as 1+2. There are many ways to write down the single point in FLT, and these correspond to different ways to prove FLT, but in the HoTT sense they are all equal.

A theorem in HoTT can have multiple points. This commonly happens when it is some kind of existence statement. For instance, the theorem "there exists a number greater than 3" has infinitely many points, namely 4,5,6,etc. Or a theorem "structures A and B are isomorphic" usually has infinitely many points. That statement means "there exists an f : A -> B such that f is an isomorphism between A and B", so it has one point per isomorphism between A and B.

Fermat's last theorem is not of this type. It is simply true, and the point/evidence/witness contains no data.

There's also this bit on Egyptian medicine:

"It contains a mixture of magic and medicine with invocations to banish disease and a catalogue of useful plants, minerals, magic amulets and spells."

So it doesn't, except when it does.

I'd also argue a lot of medicine employed 'magical thinking' such as efficacy from similarity. Herbs were recommended based on their physical similarity to organs or parts of the body. I don't think it's pejorative of early practitioners to point this out. Until empiricism and experimentalism there was no way to reliably clarify what worked and why.

Artificial consciousness and the nature of reality (Joshua Bach)
I'm left handed but can only use a mouse right-handed, so I can see how a numpad could be an issue, however;

> And it is next to impossible to get a keyboard without the numpad

Every single keyboard in my home, would like to disagree with you. I have at least a dozen, not one with a numpad.

A lot of them are mechanical, Tenkeyless (TKL) which is my favourite size, and is _literally_ a numpadless form factor.

You might say, that they don't count because they're mechanical, or expensive, or loud, or some other argument, non of which are unavoidable, but, if you want to argue concern about comfort of keyboards and long term use, I think you should seriously consider investing in a half decent mechanical. There are ergonomic form factors, and variety of sizes and key counts from 40% to over 100% (of standard).

You can get a cheap TKL for as little as £30, or hand build one like some of mine for £500-700+ and everything in between.
Very interesting. Did anyone else look at this, and think it was super complicated, at first glance? You’d have to be an expert in the data exchange format itself.

I can see why Lisp style syntax is bad for human comprehension. It’s because of the lack of an explicit delimiter, like a comma. I don’t think human eyes are very good at using a single space character, as a delimiter.

And with this format, you’d have to agree upon the data exchange structure. There would have to be a master key somewhere, maybe as the header. Albeit, this format is far more efficient than XML.

But, XML probably won out because it was explicit, and allowed multiple levels of nesting, but at the expense of overly wordy delimiter tags.

And JSON made it simpler, by forcing it to be a lightweight key-value pair.

It’s too bad something like this didn’t take root and become more popular. This might be a very useful advanced data exchange format for some scenarios. Although the headaches and problems associated with trying to understand, and work with it, might far outweigh its efficiency benefits.
Don't worry. I'm sure there are plenty of other job opportunities available for someone with a skills portfolio consisting of looking vacuous while wearing expensive clothes.
