> If processing IPs always required consent, every website, app, and operating system would have to come with a cookie banner.

Or, you know, they could just not do data collection or limit to reasonable amounts? The way stuff used to be before ubiquitous broadband connections? As the GDPR intended?

> Instead, processing IPs falls under the "required to make things work" banner. I'm sure VSCode processes your IP address for many things such as installing extensions and updates and nobody is arguing they need consent for those.

Because installing updates is something the user wants and needs (and is recommended by international IT security standard). But telemetry is not something the user wants or needs and the software works fine without the data, therefore it should be opt-in only.

The problem: Microsoft formally has the Ireland subsidiary listed for data processing (as many US tech companies do), and the Irish DPO is notorious for being slow and lax. It will take years for courts to decide on that matter.
Those applications will be a great waste of time, but they are there to solve the problem behind all social media: loneliness and seeking care.
You can distract your mind with other things for a while, but sooner or later you will fall back on social networks, unless you stop being alone or have enough attention.

I think that living beings do not know how to survive alone, so being alone is something bad biologically and arouses something in us that makes us feel bad ... call it "loneliness" or whatever you want, but that thing kills you if you stay alone
Some context?

By the same token, one could argue your comment is part of the trendy progress worship that's been happening since the beginning of humanity.

Mental disorders are at an all-time high. Extinction levels are well beyond their natural baseline rate, due to human activity. Environmental destruction is at an all-time high. Now, with the Internet, we've managed to build a system that can amplify nearly every negative aspect of human society but at the same time offers a shield of sorts from those effects.

Yes, humans are likely to survive in the same way that a virus survives. We find a way but it isn't always a virtuous path. We humans have yet to understand that nature is a balance and that we choose to operate outside of that balance. Everytime we progress we invent new ways for people and other animals to suffer.
Fair enough.

I needed to get an MVP out and start figuring out ways to make money before I completely go into debt.

My goals for the future are to give more customization to the motion graphics and to feature some of the core elements a professional in hurry will need. Nothing too complex but just right.

It was, lost it last weekend unfortunately. Replaced it with a Speaka, which so far is basically a slightly better dragonfly black for half the price.

I still appreciate a good headphone jack though. The usb-c connectors aren't always reliable and ignoring inline controls. A phone with a solid DAC & amp would be best. Unfortunately it seems only LG make those these days and their Android skin is horrible.
IIRC dimensional analysis lets you put constraints on the form of the equation, by requiring that the variables form dimensionless groups. But you still have to include the right variables, and then measure the values of those dimensionless quantities under different conditions (for instance the Reynolds number for different velocities or length scales) to figure out how the groups scale relative to one another. But I'm sure that data already exists for the situation in question. It would just be a matter of estimating the values from the video and dropping them into the equation.
It goes further. Unless you stop the project the missile control will be built with less qualified developers. If a missiles keep hitting buses of average citizens you are at fault because you could have prevented that by finishing the project.

Then you can even extend and say because the missile system wasn't built (because you left) when another country bombs and kills kids you are at fault.

You could even say because the missile control wasn't built the next Hitler was born and all of those deaths are your fault.

It's no wonder all presidents age so rapidly for those 4/8 years.

Yeah, you're right that simple tabs can also be implemented using css, but I still disagree. Another example: how about a simple search on a table [1].

In this case the search is instant. Without JS you would have to have a submit button and wait for the request. Even if you also added a button the JS version it would still feel more responsive, as again, you're not waiting for the request.

> It doesn't have to be this way.

Your could hire competent developers who know how these technologies actually work. Server side rendering is better but still not ideal, because the incompetence is reduced from the load event to merely just later user interactions. The performance penalty associated with JavaScript could be removed almost entirely by suppling more performant JavaScript regardless of where the page is rendered.

Which is ridiculous and just builds in the ability to game the system, because in my experience, amp pages take upwards of 5-8 seconds before anything of use to me actually loads, while the non-amp version loads in a fraction of that time.

I imagine someone is benefiting from amp, otherwise it wouldn't be used, but I have not experienced a single case where the amp version of a site wasn't significantly slower.

Your example is so simplistic, not all situations are so passive and indirect. Here's some better ones:

Do you think Linus would be willing to adding a driver for a USB device developed by North Korea that could or would be used by them for nefarious purposes?

Do you think he would be willing to adding code that would make it easier for the NSA to spy on Linux users?

Do you think he would be willing to add code to track Linux usage?

Do you think he would continue to develop and work on Linux if it turned out North Korea was the only user of it? Not just one of, but the sole consumer?

The real world involves actual hard problems and questions, and in some cases (In Linus's case, probably more often than not) your choices will have a direct impact on people. And while I can't tell you Linus's answers for those questions, it's not the answers that matter. What's important is that he should be willing to stand up for those decisions. It shouldn't be acceptable to us or him for him to simply throw his hands in the air and say "well I don't have any responsibility here so who cares how this software is used".

> You didn't thought things through. If you're talking about a global pandemic then quite obviously you aren't talking about a scenario where the state of things already changed radically.

I agree that the state of the world has changed radically. What we're debating is how the law should change. The world will get over C19 in another year or two. We're still stuck with a PATRIOT Act from 2001. That's 19 years ago now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Act

> Moreover, I fail to see how keeping things as they are can be passed as a rational argument against something. You're actually arguing that things should not change because otherwise things would change, which makes absolutely no sense at all.

I was attempting to suggest that there's a difference between "things which already are a given and have been for a long time" vs "new things which we're going to decide are a thing newly, right now".

Yes seatbelts are essentially mandatory (if you drive) and have been so for the last 30-50 years depending on state. But I think it's not entirely fair to compare new mandates/requirements/laws to existing ones. The existing ones have had a chance for their long-term implications to play out. The new ones would be new. We don't know all the long-term implications of the new thing. It's probably impossible to know what the long term implications would be.

What I don't see (sadly) is anyone saying "hey lets make masks mandatory until expiration on Jan1 2021 with possible 6mo extensions after that". So people who are worried about government overreach have every reason to be worried! The pandemic is very, very unlikely to last forever. The laws that get passed are very, very unlikely to ever be repealed. PATRIOT Act was a temporary measure until we "got" the terrorists. It's nearly 20 years later. It only took a decade in Afghanistan to bankrupt the USSR. We're going on two decades. These concerns may not be entirely foolish.

>time is the thing I don't have enough of, else I would figure out most things.

Sure, if your time has no value, then you can learn to be professional at everything. And for many tasks the amount you'd have to pay to learn to do it far exceeds the cost of hiring someone, since they amortize their training time and tool cost over multiple clients.

Since time is finite, that's why it often pays in both time and money to hire someone.

> With youtube, you can...

Youtube and the like have led a significant number of people to assume they have skills they don't, and the effect is large enough there's subfields in econ and psych that study this effect. For example [1]

I think the author's point is inferable from these two observations.

> Creators needn’t be compensated well just because they are creators.

> Neither must useful works of every kind cost nothing to everyone.

Obviously this author knows that if poor quality cheap information proliferates and high quality information remains costly then people will prefer the former to the later.

The author is effecting a denial of the implicit argument of the "post truth" panic, which is that it is important that the public have a high quality and cheap information source.

It's not utterly unreasonable to argue against an assumed premise such as this but it would've been nice if they had been a bit clearer about it.

No hesitation: yes. Intel Macs will be supported for a long time to come, easily for the next 6 years you cite. And you won't have to deal with 1st gen ARM bugs. And you can use it now, not 1 or more years from now.

iMac is not upgradeable however. don't kid yourself.

Don't understand this at all. macOS will be supported forever. Did you miss a word?

I find these 'design concepts' vexing; they consist of renders of impossible or non-existent materials and technologies. Are they intended as some sort of 'science fiction product designs', or do the creators believe that they can will things into being? And why do the concepts get so much press coverage?

I'm sure these renders look great in a portfolio, but

Thanks for the feedback.

Regarding "impossible requirements", does it really go without saying that knowing an AGI's truthfulness is so impossible? I could write a computer program which does nothing but print "1+1=2", "1+2=3", "1+3=4", ... onto the screen, and know (with "exceptionally perfectly detailed knowledge") everything about this program and know that the things it prints on the screen are truthful.

So it's not that it's inherently impossible to have such detailed knowledge about just any computer program. What makes AGI special? Why is it that we should take it for granted that it's impossible to know the truthfulness of an AGI's knowledge? I'm not saying that's not impossible (indeed, by tweaking the assumptions, the argument in my paper could be considered an argument for said impossibility), I'm just trying to understand why you think it's so blatantly obvious that knowing the truthfulness of the AGI's knowledge is impossible.
