A typical way to articulate it is that the experience of consciousness is just another sense-perception, not the "center of you". In the same way that your sense for certain types of light is called sight, your sense for certain types of neural activity is consciousness.
The average income earner could take savings and buy out the flyover people. The city benefits can be hard to quantify. Take quality of healthcare, which you can't be sure when you'll need. More often I see city people stay in the city, and instead just travel.

I legitimately don't understand this point of view. Original reporting of the kind that keeps politicians and corporations in line costs money; investigative journalists aren't cheap. What YouTuber gives you this kind of depth? Will the world be a better place without the Fourth Estate?
Thanks for the response. I think I wouldn't be too sensitive regarding being treated different but I would feel more sensitive to how my wife and kids experience it. It's the same issue keeping me away from places in the US like Idaho and Montana.
interesting. it seems to me that if Google really wanted to influence Australian public opinion, they have far more sophisticated ways to go about it than this clumsy attempt at PSA outreach slash fear mongering. It's almost as if they need to be seen to be taking some responses to the media payment legislation but they don't really care. That's what's interesting to me. I wonder why they would not care.

perhaps because they have inside knowledge that the legislation is a dead duck and the government doesn't intend to follow through but perhaps the government is simply doing this for whatever reasons maybe political points with the population.

I have no doubt that the Australian government and Google play a delicate dance with each other while they both cooperate and see that they both get the outcomes they both want. so the gloss that this is all about consumers, spouted by both sides, I think is false.

anyway, interesting to watch where this goes.
Yeah, we get a lot of that sort of claim in Australia, where the conservative side of politics have made climate change a massively politically polarised topic (it might not be a surprising coincidence that a lot of the major political donors to these parties have made billions from coal mining and natural gas extraction).

We have media commentators and even members of parliament (!) actively trying to discredit our Bureau of Meteorology, pulling up newspaper reports and people's anecdotes of slightly higher temperatures recorded decades ago than records that have been broken just recently. It doesn't seem to a lot of these people to be a good argument that 1) thermometers weren't as accurately calibrated then as they were today, and 2) an observed temperature at your grandfather's farm that was taken from a thermometer hanging under a tin roof that was radiating heat at it isn't up to the standard of the official figures!

Anyway, so at the end of the day it's extremely controversial that the official figures have been adjusted based on measured deviations between the technology used at the time and the more accurate measuring devices used today.
Honestly, I can’t take anything you said seriously if during your 3 weeks here you didn’t step foot into one of the most unique/distinctive neighborhoods in the city and then proceed to berate the availability of tasty food. I read all of your comments here and was trying to decide whether you were uniquely knowledgeable or full of shit and this right here tells the whole story. I have also been all around the world and SF has a wide collection of high quality cuisines from all around the world — not just Japanese food in Tokyo and Russian food in Moscow.
But does it have to be anything else? That insight doesn't actually change the discussion or what we are trying to describe I don't think.
This reminds me of many of the issues with laissez-faire capitalism: perfectly competitive markets tend to consolidate, as less efficient participants drop out of the market. Also, network effects. It seems like perhaps economists should engage in more proselytizing in order to reconvince the average person why monopolies are bad.
Pretty sure there's bugs. http://9ol.es/unsolvable.png I don't think any more logical deductions can be made here.

edit 2: I can now proceed pretty reliably working around that hole.

The metrics by which “good schools” are measured don't measure teaching, they measure outcomes that are determined almost entirely by the out-of-school upbringing and socioeconomic background of students.

Absolutely. This quote from Westworld articulates is nicely too:

"The self is a kind of fiction, for hosts and humans alike. It's a story we tell ourselves. [...] There is no threshold that makes us greater than the sum of our parts, no inflection point at which we become fully alive. We can't define consciousness because consciousness does not exist. Humans fancy that there's something special about the way we perceive the world, and yet we live in loops as tight and as closed as the hosts do, seldom questioning our choices, content, for the most part, to be told what to do next. No, my friend, you're not missing anything at all."
A few months ago, I disabled all of that stuff, so that YouTube only recommends videos based on my subscriptions and liked videos. I guess it's still personalization, but it's personalization that I have control over, which seems to have drastically improved both the privacy and the quality of recommendations.

I don't use Google for search, though, so I can't comment on that.
The claim you're replying to is very specific, and starts off by acknowledging that Google does not live up to "Don't be evil" in general, so I don't think the Medium post (which indeed describes some pretty evil behavior) refutes it.

The claim is that Google does a much better job of protecting and securing your private information and not turning it against you than the Australian government - not that they do good things in general.

Yes, they monetize the browsing behavior they collect from you. Yes, they are able to use that to price products at $0 so others can't compete without also finding ways to monetize data. Yes, senior management will gladly take Xi Jinping's money. Yes, senior management will gladly sleep with subordinates. Even so, they are better custodians of user data than the Australian government or the Australian media.

And yes, they cannot protect their data from law enforcement - hence writing this letter telling the Australian voting public that if they don't want Australian law enforcement to compel Google to share certain data, they'd better stop this law.

Let me put this another way - if the Australian government ran a free email service, would you advise every Gmail user in Australia to switch?

With Go? It's magnitude faster than python and it's concurrency might be paralleled maybe only by elixir although I wonder whether the later would match Go's utility based programming paradigm which results in faster roll-outs.

My subjective opinion is, the only place I wouldn't consider using Go is when it's garbage collection could hypothetically be harmful(literally) i.e. Say I'm coding a system for a ventilator, I will either go with traditional/proven language for that environment like C or a newer, safer alternative like Rust.

Explained: The IKEA Effect
A student used GPT-3 to write fake blog posts and ended up at the top of HN
So people like tutors, graders, TAs, are considered academic staff, and you can add them up in terms of FTE (full time equivalent), so 5 tutors that each work 8 hours per week add up to a single FTE.

It turns out not to make much of a difference to look only at full time staff versus FTE -- I didn't know this when I started looking at the data, but the slices of time by tutors end up being a marginal correction to counting just full time staff when you look at things like student-teacher ratios or total expenditure per staff.

In the US, there is a meaningful difference between tenure track and non-tenure track, as universities shift ever more funds away from academic staff and towards non-academic staff, one way this is accomplished is to pay the academic staff less, and this is accomplished by keeping the old professors at current pay but hiring mostly non-tenure track instructors as headcount is increased. The other way this is accomplished is by identifying some problem that needs an immediate solution, and then creating multiple vice provost positions which require their own department position, etc. Say community relations, gender equality, many different types of "outreach" positions, etc. European universities have so far resisted this type of cannibalization of tuition dollars by non-academic staff.

Thus the extra cost of non-academic staff is a good first order explanation for the diverge in annual tuition between US and Europe, and the fact that our students take 5-6 years to graduate and many don't graduate is another multiplier that explains differences in total spending on tertiary education per bachelors degree holder.

Taken together, these three factors: non-academic staff, longer time to graduation, much higher dropout rates, basically explain the full difference in spending between the US and Europe.
You see hubris in those who would put human consciousness on a pedestal above any other organization of matter in the universe. I see hubris in those who would declare our limited observations of the universe as descriptive of the holistic nature of reality.

The truth is we can’t ever be sure our understanding is complete. This is why philosophy exists as distinct from science and always will.

Out of curiosity, if you’re not a SF resident, what are you basing your disagreement on? Do you live in a nearby city that is affected by SF policies?
I think these questions are bad for interviews because they cause so much anxiety for candidates.

Minimising that will give you a better interview, as if the candidate is more relaxed that’s going to be a more accurate picture of a day to day working patterns.

I like pairing for interviews on a simple problem in a real app in the tech stack your hiring for. But really spend effort easing the candidate in rather than barking orders as soon as the come through the door (or join the video call these days I guess).

I absolutely love doing Leetcode/HR myself - and think they’ve made me a better programmer. I’ve frequently found times when coding where a “trick” has improved code in my side projects (I’m really interested in making bits of productivity software so trees, graphs and ways of speeding up searching over large portions of text are a real help).

Just grinding them out probably isn’t helpful to everyone but go in with an open mind and you’ll be surprised what you learn.
Where in Egypt? I lived in Cairo for 20 years or so, high 30s / low 40s is pretty standard in the summer. A mid-summer heatwave could get to mid-40s. Never saw it get to 50.

In the south of Egypt (eg Aswan, Luxor), though, mid or high 40s would be much more typical in the summer and wouldn't be surprised at all if it hit or crossed 50.
i find it funny you listed food trucks in that mix of street fast food and hipster fusion. world-famous cuisine indeed.

mais j'ai une question. si tu ne parle rien le francais, why do you use french words where there is an english one already -'new.' is it just to make something that's the same, sound hip and cool?

everyone's got big burritos, a classic indian food, vegan crap no one is interested in but vegans, and food trucks. what sf did was add weird twists to everyfay food, just to make it cool and different -not for taste. just like you did with the word 'new.'

it's ranch and lettuce on a pizza. it's cool to try one time. the novelty wears off after that 1 time.
It's a satirical article, and thus has satirical citations.
In my almost 2 years as a parent I say no. I love my son and he makes me laugh a bunch and is such a sweet little guy but the minute he was born my life is no longer mine, it revolved around him. There are late, sleepless nights and the unpredictability of a toddler means that planning get togethers or any kind of event gets complicated.

Another thing, there is no guarantee you will feel a connection with your kid, especially as a male. It took about a month and a half before I felt a connection and it was incredibly hard to get up late at night with a screaming baby that meant nothing to me. There were times I wanted to just open the window and throw him out. From the reading I did, there are men who have not even felt a connection after 5 years. Could you imagine having to take care of a child who you feel nothing for? That doesn't sound like happiness to me.

Like others have said, it looks like you are looking more so for a pet than a child. Though, if you would be up for it I am sure there are mentoring programs (such as Big Brothers Big Sisters program) where you could have a meaningful impact on a child's life with the ability to walk away if it isn't for you.

Anything can happen. We're always at the mercy of the busines decisions of our technology providers. In this case Google can keep the protocol stable and stop supporting the client to the point it stops working after an update of your distro. If you want to be nearly 100% safe you self host whatever the price and the time you have to pour in. Personally I use Syncthing over my home network.
It won't ever come. I use InSync on ubuntu and it works exceptionally well. I actually upgraded to the paid 200GB Google drive plan because I started using Drive dramatically more once I installed InSync.

I would say if you have the question "Do I need Kubernetes?", you don't need it because the benefits are not immediately crystal clear to you.
Also, the author starts the evaluation from the wrong point of view, because the decision should be not so technical, but like everything else should be based on BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS. Evaluating Kubernetes is no different:

- Do you have such high traffic that you need a distributed system?

- Will a unified framework solve all your distribution problems?

- Do you really need high availability?

- Can you swallow the cost of high availability?

- Can you handle the insane complexity of Kubernetes at a reasonable cost?

You should not start asking questions about "Pods, Ingress" or anything Kubernetes specific, those are just implementation details.
The SFMoma & DeYoung are not first class museums. They have modern art. New York may beat San Francisco, but it is not particularly good.

The winning city, without any doubt, is Washington, D.C.

Also beating San Francisco:

Houston, TX
Huntsville, AL
Pearlington, MS
Kennedy Space Center, FL
Dayton, OH
Seattle, WA
San Diego, CA
Chantilly, VA
Ashland, NE

Unless you actually go to the same museum again and again, your own city doesn't matter. To see different things, you have to travel to different cities. The best city is thus one with lots of cheap direct flights to the cities with museums. That would likely be Denver, Dallas, Chicago, or Atlanta.

We need to unite the world under one government. The system should be democracy but no longer country based. Instead, it's region based. A successful party in one region can enter election in any other region and get votes. So it's like war, but with voting not weapons!

Nextcloud supports S3 as external storage. So it, and its app, are essentially S3 frontends.

I use nextcloud but I already have a k8s cluster where I host my stuff like calendars, notes, decks, S3.
