these are one off incidents in selected arenas. there wasn't a sweeping ban of these messages across the nba, in fact many attendees had pro-HK shirts and were never bothered.

Moreover, i would not be able to enter an arena with a MAGA, Trump, or a Biden poster (altough there was one incident with someone with a MAGA hat), so to imply that these one off incidents are actions that are due to the extensions of the CCP is very much in line with the propagandic rallying cry that we are seeing against China right now.

I agree with OP, this is much more of a financial issue to the NBA, than the NBA being an extension of the CCP which you are trying to imply right now.
Nothing fancy, just a few home grown shell scripts to essentially replace external dependencies in the html (e.g. script tags or link tags) with the contents of those files. There's no minifying, optimization, or building or anything. I only use vanilla js, css and html. The only exception to this is if I have anything that needs compiling to wasm, which essentially is just SQLite, but could be anything really.

Because I only deploy these locally on desktops it's pretty much pointless to build/obfuscate/optimize anything for transport, it's so fast to load anyway since it's all off the local drive.

Maybe I should write up a how-to or tidy up the workflow and publish, but it's really nothing fancy.

“ "Ubuntu" as political philosophy encourages community equality, propagating the distribution of wealth. This socialisation is a vestige of agrarian peoples as a hedge against the crop failures of individuals. Socialisation presupposes a community population with which individuals empathise and concomitantly, have a vested interest in its collective prosperity. Urbanisation and the aggregation of people into an abstract and bureaucratic state undermines this empathy. African Intellectual historians like Michael Onyebuchi Eze have argued however that this ideal of "collective responsibility" must not be understood as absolute in which the community's good is prior to the individual's good. On this view, ubuntu it is argued, is a communitarian philosophy that is widely differentiated from the Western notion of communitarian socialism. In fact, ubuntu induces an ideal of shared human subjectivity that promotes a community's good through an unconditional recognition and appreciation of individual uniqueness and difference.[12] Audrey Tang has suggested that Ubuntu "implies that everyone has different skills and strengths; people are not isolated, and through mutual support they can help each other to complete themselves."[13]

"Redemption" relates to how people deal with errant, deviant, and dissident members of the community. The belief is that man is born formless like a lump of clay. It is up to the community, as a whole, to use the fire of experience and the wheel of social control to mould him into a pot that may contribute to society. Any imperfections should be borne by the community and the community should always seek to redeem man. ...”

A lot of this has always confused me. In times of peace you should invest more in civilian research. In times of war or near war, more military. They complement one another too. Civilian research will always be used by military, from basic understanding of how people act, to lasers, to economic theory. One helps the other. The reverse direction is slower though because it is often held close to the vest for a bit of time.
This shows how the old experienced people can fall into the trap of over-rating the 'hands-on' human experience.
In fact a human will have no chance at all against an AI operated fighter designed as a high-G fighter.
We saw how the video AI was able to win with the ability of the AI fighter limited to the human driven planes ability. What do you think will happen when the AI has 30-50 G turn capability.
This is why modern missiles have guaranteed kill zones - they have 30-50G turn capability. Modern jamming is running out of room gradually as tech advances, so missiles can still be jammed for quite a while as that arms race evolves.
There may be some universal aspects to sentience. Especially one that, presumably, comes knocking at our door. Any energy and/or resource consumption probably leads to expansionary tendencies to acquire more resources and energy. And if they come here, that implies they have some technology or ability for motion, which I’m fairly certain necessitates energy usage. So, on some real base level, they’d probably want ‘stuff.’ And when you think about it, wanting stuff drives a lot of our evolved biology and social structures. I’d venture to guess that if aliens ever do show up, there would be at least some mutually recognizable aspects.

Now my favored theory is that there are no other sentient species within a detectable range from us, and same goes for any of them out there too. Time to start accepting that we’re (functionally) all alone out here.

Can someone in-tune to this world explain why Moskovitz purchases equity through a trust, in the form of convertible promissory notes? It seems like he isn't taking any compensation in stock or cash, but prefers to "invest" in the company's stock, through this trust and promissory-note scheme?

If you're confident that the company's eventually going to exit (obviously a big "if"), and you have the cash liquidity (which he obviously does, as one of the original co-founders of fb), is this essentially a method of getting compensation that isn't taxed as compensation? I'm trying to understand what the justification is for maintaining what looks like a fairly complicated transaction. It looks like they've done it a few times (2017, 2020 jan 2020 june).

Not meaning to cast aspersions, just curious because I haven't seen these kinds of setups in S-1's before. But most S-1 companies don't have people with pre-ipo, >1bn net worth founder-CEOs, so it makes sense that this one might be a bit anomalous.

> The main problem is tax havening, Hollywood accounting, and abusable tax loopholes.

But this is one of the other things that a UBI makes easy.

One of the best taxes in terms of resisting avoidance is a flat rate consumption tax. You can move your headquarters but you can't move your customers. You can't arbitrage the rate because it's uniform. The burden falls disproportionately on uncompetitive industries which have to eat the tax when a cost increase across the industry doesn't allow them to raise prices any further because they were already charging monopoly prices.

The normal problem with a consumption tax is that it's regressive. Everybody pays the same rate. But that's the part that gets fixed by combining it with a UBI. Someone making $50,000 may be paying a 35% marginal rate, and $17,500 in tax, but they get $12,000 of it back. Their effective rate is only 11%, even though everybody is paying the same marginal rate.

You get to have an increasing effective rate with increasing income while still having the fixed marginal rate that makes everything administratively simple, and the complexity was what enabled the avoidance.

How? If it takes me 10 seconds to travel 10 lightyears, then I should've gone forward in time by 10 seocnds, no matter if I'm measuring by my own frame of reference or an observer's (i.e. if it's my stopwatch v. an observer's stopwatch that's counting the seconds).

That still has a distortion effect on the institution and scientific community. And that's assuming the world's top scientists could never possibly guess that the only rich dude who always talks about X is making large anonymous donations to support research on X...

The correct way to do this is to fund a non-profit that then hires a set of third party reviewers to award grants on a competitive basis around one or more themes. This is how Elon Musk and Bill Gates do things, for example.

But no matter how you package it, anyone with a real reputation has more to gain than to lose by taking money from a pedophile. Harvard's/MIT's admins were trying to protect their faculty's reputation.

I'm not saying that's how it should be done. I'm just clarifying what the author of the article was referring to.
Your argument is logically sound but provably false. Humans are known to compromise their ethics for relatively small amounts of money. For example, Martha Stewart was a billionaire when she engaged in insider trading and then lied about it to the FBI, resulting in her going to federal prison--all to avoid a measly $45,000 loss!

The article makes clear that Epstein was granted physical access to facilities, the title of "visiting fellow at Harvard" in areas of study in which he had no credentials, and getting world-renowned researchers to validate his crackpot theories of racial eugenics due to his wealth.

I mean, you are being reasonable: $10 million in funding is peanuts to Harvard, which has an endowment of almost US $41 billion. But apparently Harvard is willing to lease our their credibility for such "a tiny bit" of money.

Sure, okay, agreed that 6 million is not much on a global scale. But you can't be serious if you think 6 million in the hands of one person can't be used for some serious damage. You won't be able to buy a country but you could, i dont know, buy a really nice lab, and then use it to research eugenics or something.

Not a big fan of these 'drop in the bucket' arguments. A breakthrough scientific idea can cost anywhere between 0 dollars and a billion dollars. We don't want that breakthrough to be in the field of eugenics.

That's a very US-centric view.

If this is expected, companies will plan for it and will survive just fine. Normalizing the non-stop grind should not be acceptable.

Probably because its a really weak theory..folks in the scientific community are grasping at straws far more than they are willing to admit.

For some sense, just notice how rare it is for any so-called "expert" to preface their statements with "as far as we know" or some other similarly appropriate hedge.
dunno about difference between effect of daily vs monthly dosage, but 15000IU per month is newborn dosage here in Europe for first year, 1 drop per day = 500IU, so I would not worry too much about such low dosage which is insufficient for adult anyway unless you spend lot of time outside exposed to sun

I'm taking 2500IU daily
The problem isn't so much an AI involved in military planning so much as an AI raised by the military, similar to how we are more okay with children who grow up to join the military rather than child soldiers (or children raised to be in the military). Defense (defense!) should be a tool taught and employed only after one has developed an understanding and appreciation of what they should be defending.

Frankly, we shouldn't be developing AI outside of institutions with STRONG ties to humanist missions (possibly including religion). AI is not for war, and it's not for "efficient" resource extraction and development; it's for helping humanity to safeguard itself and its potential.
> I've said the exact same thing in other threads. You can do fakeouts a human can't possibly do like corkscrew at 500rpm and pull 50gs randomly and repeatedly when a radar is trying to predict your path.

Well, we can already do things like this with non-piloted tech; and there is no way that a traditional jet could keep up, load-wise. The g-force induced load limit for most modern jets is about double the rated limit. You likely wouldn't be able to fly any air-frames made with human passengers in mind over 35g without significant re-engineering.

The point of the AI jet-fighter idea is to have an AI that is capable of piloting a fighter jet (designed for a human) at near-human levels.

We can already programmatically control super fast flying devices into whatever wacky flight-plan we calculate on the fly, on the device, near instantly. Lockheed and Raytheon advertisements have been talking about super-fast on-device radar/surveillance avoidance systems for years.

Government science investment frequently comes from fear. ARPA was the US government's big "give money to research" program. It was started in response to Sputnik because we feared we were falling behind the Soviets.

Then in 1969-73, Senate majority leader Mansfield decided that this research might be being misused to fund science in ways that wasn't directly useful to fighting Soviets, so ARPA became DARPA (the D is for Defense!) and now researchers needed to explain why their science might help build missiles.
The article equates "trolling" with phishing and harassment. It states "Trolling is a hard concept to define" and uses this as a convenient excuse to make false equivalences. The term "troll" is actually easy to define: "antisocial, quarrelsome and slow-witted creatures which make life difficult for travelers." Its the literal interpretation from norse folklore. The troll doesn't follow you around, build a following, or encourage suicide. The troll sits under a bridge and charges you a "toll" (time, monetary, or emotional) as you pass by it.

One could argue that this author is trolling their audience with obfuscatory language.

We need some Best Practices.

When I was homeless and on Metafilter, there was a doctor running around cramming her opinions down everyone's throats and everyone let her get away with it because of the way Metafilter works and one of her hobbies was harassing me, a homeless woman, cuz Reasons. (Edit: I was homeless at the time. I'm not anymore, though I'm still dirt poor and yadda.)

And when I posted the best answer one day using internet best practices of backing it up with citations, this did absolutely nothing to get my reputation out of the toilet, even though it probably saved some guy's life. But I remained chopped liver and I was eventually banned from Metafilter for reasons I think are really not how you run a healthy forum.

Metafilter does not have the man power to vet who there is a doctor or not and if they start vetting people, then you start getting into this weird territory of more or less pseudo practicing medicine on the internet. She was posting under an anonymous handle but also wanting to lean on "I need to win every medical question because I am a doctor with a huge ego and personal issues." It was just all kinds of messed up and the mods were not policing it.

If you want to discuss medical stuff on the internet, you can't lean on "I'm a doctor" and also be anonymous. Anyone who is anonymous can claim to be a doctor and we can't verify that.

So if you are a doctor, you should have no problem backing up your claims with citations. And if you aren't a doctor, but can back up your statements with citations, then no one should be harassing you and claiming you are "practicing medicine without a license" for leaving comments in a discussion on the internet.

It's different if the doctor is putting their name and face to it and staking their professional reputation on it, so this is absolutely not some kind of attack of this blog posts. But the internet does a lot of weird social stuff where we haven't yet figured out that the internet works different from meat space and it doesn't work to borrow rubrics from meat space and so forth. It needs its own rubrics.

Another thing I would like to see is that we should be allowed to err on the side of self determination for purposes of doing things to our own bodies without having to justify it. A lot of people with serious conditions are dying, doctors cannot fix them and then the medical system gatekeeps them away from trying experimental stuff and if you are part of such a community and you have such a condition and you are late stage, it's incredibly horrifying and makes zero logical sense.

So those are two things I have thought a lot about. I don't know what else to suggest. I'm too busy just trying to muddle through my pathetic life in the face of my condition and the poverty it helps foster and yadda.
Very cool old-school way. I also like the attempts at reverse engineering that led to the wrong interpretations but which were true results!
