I was literally discriminated on the basis of color of my skin and my assumed family of origin, and that seen as perfectly acceptable and it seems that is what you are argueing for. If we can't have shared definitions enough to say that isn't ok or to say that is not equitable, what's the point in discussing it.

Do we simply assume every application with more melanin should have a leg up on any and every job application? Or how do we leagally measure the amount of non-equitable treatment an applicant has? There are a million reasons two people could be non equal, to institute hiring based on who is the best - but also most melanin even if they grew up in the top 1% with the best education money can buy is real bad.

If we want workable solutions, teachers unions and schools and policies that have failed for decades need a serious rework. Charter schools in the same building as public schools with a lottery system for intakes have been shown to greatly outperform their public counterparts.

I spent years in college, and simply put, something has to radically change before students get to college, and defense of teachers unions and a government mandated monopoly on educate must shift. Unfortunately, this isn't being considered politicaly and is often demonized.

It’s not a donation if they’re getting something in return.
You make a good point. The problem is interacting with the particles, e.g. the photons bouncing off them. Don't poke the particle -- it only interferes with itself. Poke the particle -- now it is entangled with your measurement device, that means zillions of other particles, which changes the interference patterns.

But it is more complicated that this. Consider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elitzur%E2%80%93Vaidman_bomb_t... -- if you only poke the particle in a "parallel universe", that also changes its pattern in this one.

At the end, quantum physics says there are multiple "versions" of how the particles move, and those versions interfere with each other. By interacting with each other, particles become entangled, which means that the "versions" of their states are no longer calculated independently, but together.

There are disagreements of what exactly this means: some people believe that reality only has multiple "versions" on a microscopic level, but when the entangled configuration becomes large enough (how large? no one knows), the parallel computation collapses, one of these "versions" is randomly selected to become the actual reality and the remaining ones disappear. Other people believe that multiple "versions" is the whole story; that observing the outcome means that you (being composed of particles that follow the laws of physics) also become entangled with the particles in the experiment, and now there are multiple "versions" of you, each observing a different outcome.

So, I'd say you got it half-right. Yes, it is about "observation = interaction"; and "observer" is just a shortcut for "the thing that poked the experimental particle, optionally also a display connected to that thing, optionally also a person observing the display". (That is, you could also have a completely impersonal "observer", e.g. a machine that measures the particle but no one is looking at its display.) But quantum physics is a different thing than mere classical physics where you correct for photons being actual things that hit the measured particle. It means there actually are multiple outcomes, which then interfere with each other, at least on the microscopic level.

I mean, compared to the distance to the moon, yeah - 40km is a rounding error. I don't care if I'm measuring the distance to the moon from my location or 40km away.

And that's 4x less of a difference than your 20 light-year example (moon is ~10,000x further than 40km). Choosing "from us" seems more than precise enough.

How was KNL too slow for HPC, like Cori? It does need to be the right sort of HPC that can use the SIMD and/or benefit from the memory bandwidth. Just the large core count (for the time and Intel) helps with MPI communication, keeping more of it local, or all of it for small enough jobs. However, we did have 64-core Bulldozers rather earlier.

> I think the key is that I don't use any deeply intrusive packages

Sure, but if you're not interested in using deeply intrusive packages or addons, then why does the sandboxing and forced separation between addons matter?

I can keep a clean Firefox config if I don't install addons that do anything too interesting, but if I don't install addons that do anything too interesting then I'm also not really going to be affected very much by the move from XUL to webExtensions. I think the core of the debate is about the intrusive packages, not the surface-level ones.

The only reason for Emacs to embrace the more dangerous kind of "everything is editable" levels of customization that people are advocating for within Firefox is so that we can implement stuff like Evil, EXWM, sidebar previews, embedded GTK apps, etc... Those are the power-user selling points of Emacs that keep me hooked on the platform.

Any time immortality is mentioned, the commentary inevitably focuses on the goal itself.

This is natural, but also, myopic.

The dividends of research into immortality are incremental, but each breakthrough has the same outcome: increased quality of life. Humans become healthier; eventually, we last longer.

Yes, at the limit, there are problems with immortality: Sterling's Holy Fire is a great exploration of the problems a gerontocracy could pose, as is Morgan's Altered Carbon. Without older generations dying off, would there be any room for the young?

I submit that these would be excellent problems to have, that there is no guarantee we will ever have them, and that the dividends from trying to earn ourselves such problems would be considerable.
I can clear things up a bit. First off, you're right. It absolutely was fraudulent. The job was being a butt-in-chair in case things went wrong more than it was typing a few keys. There were also some low priority tasks (irregular data entry, restocking printers with paper, etc.), but no one seemed to care if those jobs were done. My memory is very hazy regarding this detail so take it with a huge grain of salt, but I believe he quit because they offered him that versus being fired and charged with a crime. (There were some other shenanigans with other employees, and I can't be sure I'm not conflating things or making them up.)

> You can absolutely argue that the job was stupid and should be automated (it should've been)...

Yes. See my reply to another reply.

> you can absolutely argue about whether that person was feeling societal pressures to work two jobs and felt like this was the only way to make ends meet.

In this time and place, I worked three jobs (separately, and with my employers' full knowledge) and had all my bills paid off the first week of each month. With only (and any) one of those three jobs paying my bills off would have taken about 2.5 weeks. Each job was technically unskilled (although skills helped) and required only a high school diploma.) It was a very prosperous time with low unemployment. I've never been one for societal pressures, but this guy didn't have kids (neither did I at the time); which I think would have been the strongest defense.

> And, in the end, it actually caused other people to likely do overtime to cover up for his skimping.

It definitely had some downstream consequences... possibly overtime but I can't be sure, and although most of the people involved were salaried, on a personal level, they ended up staying later than they otherwise would have.

IIUC The missile pretty much compellingly maintains it's advantage here for as long as the "hybrid" approach maintains non-missile-like design features. Which leads you to either giving up on the approach, or just observing that it's hard to hit a missile with an equivalent missile.
>If developers can avoid the digital checkout, it is the same as if a customer leaves an Apple retail store without paying for shoplifted product: Apple does not get paid.
Fair enough. Give us other ways to acquire software then.

No...it's the same as buying a product from a store that requires additional things.

If I buy say, a car, I don't need to buy replacement tires from the place I bought my car. I haven't shoplifted because I spent money on my car elsewhere.

If Apple doesn't like that they can't make more money off apps they carry in their store apart from the initial sale, maybe they should try banning IAP's and see how fast their ecosystem dries up.

It's just pure greed. 30% off the top, plus 30% off any money made off the app is bullshit.
Maybe I am misunderstanding the terms we are using. Allow me to articulate what I think the valuable line of inquiry is here, and then maybe you can identify what I am missing philosophically, because I'm still not sure exactly what that is, even after reading your comment.

In my thinking, a reductionist thought process goes something like this: we observe oxidation of the hydrogen sulfide in mud, even when there are no apparent electron acceptors in the immediate vicinity. We then identify bacterial filaments which appear to allow electron transport from the reducing agent to the electron acceptor. Furthermore, we will then attempt to isolate the bacteria making up the filaments, and then attempt to identify what structures they synthesize to allow this feat.

And a few follow up questions to your comment: what do you think population dynamics have to do with the current phenomenon, or was that more a related thought? When you talk about "destination states," are you insinuating that there is some design occurring, or that we can observe states in the state space that seem to be stable, and that random walks tend to end up in those stable states? If it is the latter, I totally agree, and I don't see how that is outside of the purview of science as traditionally practiced. It might be an interpretation or model for how the parts of a system fit together, but an attempt at synthesis is basically in the conclusions section of any paper ever written in biology. So I guess it boils down to the same question I posed earlier: how exactly are scientists failing to describe natural phenomena?
This reminds me of The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson...maybe not nanobots yet...but still..
It's not even "content". They're a publishing platform.
I disagree that technology will get us asymptotically closer to true immortality. It is far more likely that technology gets us asymptotically closer to a theoretical maximum lifespan that is determined by our relationship with the environment. Radical changes to our form might extend that theoretical maximum, but it is not clear that someone who wants immortality would be satisfied with a form radically different from human.

As an example, an entity with a fractured consciousness that spans tens of thousands of lightyears (yet not necessarily dispersed enough to be considered immortal) would have a radically different concept of self. If one was uncomfortable with the concept of a few dying for the many, in order to perpetuate the species, then a dispersed consciousness devoid of a self seems equally unpalatable.

A CEO differs from a General Manager.

"A chief executive officer (CEO) is the highest-ranking executive in a company, whose primary responsibilities include making major corporate decisions, managing the overall operations and resources of a company, acting as the main point of communication between the board of directors (the board) and corporate operations and being the public face of the company. A CEO is elected by the board and its shareholders." ~ https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/ceo.asp

"A general manager (GM) is in charge of part or all of a company's operations, including generating revenue and controlling costs." ~ https://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/general-manager.asp
Dogfighting with guns is a great way to stop an incoming missile. You just need the ability to do high-G maneuvers and aim well. Shoot the missile.

Me too, although it was maybe 26 years ago. Learning autoconf/automake served me well, as I ended up working on embedded firmware on ISDN cards using the MC68302 and i960 for a couple of years, and the experience meant that building and setting up a cross compiler and build roots from scratch were a relatively easy step forward.

The price should be zero. Then platform can offer a service e.g payment gateway at a price but not prevent other payment gateways.

Google search and other search engin do allow. They are platforms, not purely marketplace, so what.

The problem is not whether it is legitimate for a platform to enforce terms and conditions, the problem is what are those terms and conditions. A physical market place can and probably should have some terms and conditions, such as rules around how to not dispose of trash and sanitary, but a term that force participants to purchase a cleaning service only from the marketplace manager is where it would be crossing a line. That is what is being criticized here. Not the existence of terms and conditions to use the app store, it is the restriction to use any other payment gateway, the restriction from communicating that there is an apple tax of 30% and offer an alternative route to the end customer.

Apple has the right to monetise its platform of course, but with a fair business model, not an abusive business model.

I still don't understand what's nextdns.io doing in the stack.

Couldn't you just run your recursive resolver as recursive resolver and let it ask respective authoritative servers directly, instead of forwarding to the middleman? You can run your own blocklists on your unbound/kresd/whatever.

Then DNS servers out on the Internet are queried by some random IP from a VPS/EC2/VM IP range, so they are about as wise as when queried by nextdns.io.
