Thank you. So "free" does mean free for public images.
Not true. They can make the certificate invalid after a certain date, while still allowing software signed before that date. This happened when Panic lost their signing certificate.
Thank you for making Lunar!

Your app has been a godsend for my multimonitor setup, Macbook in clamshell mode. I tried a bunch of tools, but eventually gave up frustrated after crashes.

Love Lunar since I discovered it, it’s been working smooth from day one.
Apple is mostly a focused company. There is no money in search except advertising and user tracking. Apple has already completely failed at advertising once.

Yes I realize that the App Store has ads and it is a stain that should not have ever happened.
I think you should consider the extent to which the "normal" culture you are advocating is actually "real" or manufactured via the mass media and hollywood. There are so many ways in which american culture (and its inherent, persistent puritanism) is un-natural to people from so many different countries around the world. Technology is an enabler or a megaphone for our desires, but it doesn't create them.

Then there's the issue of helicopter-like supervision of children. This is a very recent phenomenon and has deprived the latest generations of any 'risky' and unrestricted encounters. I can understand why they feel the need to escape from it, because it really acts like a prison wall. If anything, their online escapades probably help them to grow and discover their own personality.

Now the work week is less than 30 hours. Yay! All it took was requiring health insurance for employees with 30 hours.

By that strategy, we could have a 10-hour work week if we wanted it.
Fitting. "There will be a small project delay of 8 months to get the website to a state where it's able to serve active web visitors. Also, please increase our budget by 20%."
I believe in the competitive scenario, there are no profits to cut. It's not clear to me if equity is worth anything if there are no profits to distribute and the company is not growing.

I think the point is that whether it is a "nice employer" or a union, the company will be less competitive. This strikes me as a tragedy of the commons which would have to be resolved by legislation to force all market participants to offer the same benefits. (Of course, the difficulty then are participants putside of your legal system, but taroffs could hopefully capture this detail.)

My feedback. I think if I were to donate I would like to see a clear roadmap for even getting in the ballpark of doing this.

I have donated to SENS for years, and particularly when they started, they didn't really say exactly "donate to cure aging", they said "these are the important known problems that we need to spend time/money on to make progress here."

I believe there are multiple large known problems doing brain emulation. What are they? How will donating to you progress those?
No one is saying a neuron is a one to one equivalent with a transistor. That behavior does seem like it's possible to emulate with many transistors, however.
I agree wholeheartedly, though I'm not seeing much disagreement or discussion, I'm just seeing downvotes on any comment that even suggests the remote possibility unions might actually be a good thing.
People don't pay for porn, they pay for specific porn. "Specific" porn can come in many varieties: the person, the act, the body type, personal touch, etc.
> And if it were, it wouldn't be you.

That's why I'm a fan of incremental substitution. Replace an individual neuron with an artificial one that duplicates its state and function, but is more mechanically robust. It's clear that doesn't matter to you — individual neurons even die without causing any problem, so an externally-indistinguishable substitute certainly won't. Now do that 100 billion times.
Wasn't it disclosed through the Ashley Madison hack that they were employing bots (and real people) to keep the clients busy and lure them into buying more "chatting privileges" (number of messages etc.?

So this has already happened to some degree. As AI (aka humans teaching computers) to make for better "hungrier" chatboxes, with the escalation (buy more messages, send client to next tier), sell a "more personalized package" (to use the parent comment of his friend).

This could do a nice Black Mirror episode. Like the one where she lost her husband, her friend registered for the Tier1 service and it went on from that..
I’ve met him! He signed my copy of Democracy at Work. So yes you’re right! :)
I think most things are trending that direction, even in soft/non real-time. How fast can an interrupt respond these days anyway, a dozen microseconds?
We also have more police violence and a more militarized police force than ever before.

When a dude pulls up to me in a tank and beats the fuck out of me because I’m dealing pot (Oh and whoops happened to be black), who is in the wrong? Maybe they should, you know, have a social worker talk to me instead? Do we need tanks and grenades to solve these problems?

Let’s see if you change your tune after a cop beats your face in. Or arrests you for some charge they just made up. But they won’t, because you probably don’t look like the people they do that to.

I genuinely despise your complete lack of experience or perspective. I guarantee you have never had some jack-booted thug screaming in your face about you breaking some law, while he beats your buddies head in. In the back, his partner just laughing. And then you go to jail, and your friend is dead.

My hesitation with mind emulation is not so much with the technical side; I think it’s fairly clear that we’ll get there.

However, the question of responsible stewardship looms large, and is rarely addressed. With whom am I entrusting my mind? How can I be sure that such stewardship won’t be transferred to another party at some point? Who’s to guarantee that my mind won’t be installed into an eternal torment sim?

The stewardship questions have always bothered the hell out of me, and the lack of convincing answers has always led me to avoid buying completely into the preservation of my body for future scanning and uploading into a sim.
> Over long enough of a distance, say NYC to London (or even farther), the overhead of going up first and then a "straight" line horizontally (it's not completely straight because it has relay between the satellites via LOS laser but each arc would be fairly long) and back down would be shorter than a line following the curvature.

That is nonsense, the route is longer. You are confusing stuff, light travels faster in air compared to fiberoptic cable, so the latency will be lower, but distance is actually longer.
The Senate is far more powerful than the House. They also approve judges with lifetime appointments, Cabinet members, and committee chairs - where regulations are actually chosen.
I'm staying on Firefox until it becomes unbearable, which could never happen. I switched from Netscape to IE at the end of the 90s when IE 5 became the gold standard and vastly superior to Netscape. Then switched to Firefox which was vastly superior to IE. Chrome/ium is not so much better than Firefox to switch. In some ways it's the other way around. By the way I also use Vivaldi for those sites that work better in Chromium. A customer of mine has its infrastructure on the cloud of Google and both the console and the documentation work better there (surprise /s) but I'm writing this on an Android phone with Firefox.
It's not as easy as it seems, I'm sure. But it's extremely compensated well for what is essentially unskilled labor.

Sure, it has some disadvantages, but I'm fairly certain that for most people the advantages far outweigh them.
It's /all/ transient chemical states on a sufficiently long timescale. And the 'critical' timescale varies across different physical systems. (Also, you get severe brain damage after a few minutes without oxygen - that seems pretty damn transient to me.)

Two important notes on Sweden:

1. Its economy relies heavily on export. When the rest of the world do bad, Swedish economy does bad too.

2. It has been argued that Sweden has a very odd definition of covid deaths: if you had it when you died, you died of covid. Two recent studies showed that only 15% of those who "died of covid" actually died because of covid.

This might explain their very high death rate at care homes...

Edit: haven't read the studies and can't find them right now so don't quote me on that.

How about ray tracing?. If we get real-time 60fps+ ray-traced computer graphics in games, that would blow what we have now out of the water
But the Senate does control who gets appointed to the bench. If you are in California or Texas (choosing a blue state and a red state so this doesn’t come off as partisan), how would you feel that your vote counts for a lot less than someone in Rhode Island since they also have two Senators. If you are in either of those states, the last thing you want is a minority of the people disproportionately having sway on government policy.

So you fully support anti-abortion protestors blocking the entrance to abortion clinics?

That's 'civil disobedience' and 'breaking the law' for the 'content of speech' (in their view) of 'saving lives'?

Seems pretty legit? Saving lives?

What about White Supremacists burning down 'desegregated schools' in protest of 'desegregation'?

Or some 'burning crosses' on the streets in front of the NAACP? I mean, hey, it's their right to 'protest'?

How about 'Anti-Vaxxer' protesters surrounding evil big corporate pharma research centres and not allowing anyone in or out (civil disobedience) because 'big pharma' is giving everyone autism?

Or a much more mild case: two days ago in Montreal a small group of protestors brought down a national monument, as police watched and refused to intervene.

So how many protestors do I need exactly to tear down monuments? What's the 'headcount' threshold for the Washington monument coming down? I mean, he did own slaves ...

It's not tedious to distinguish between what is illegal and what is not, it's literally at the heart of civilization.

And no - we generally don't care what your 'cause' is - if someone really wants to 'protests' for 'segregation' - that's totally fine, they can make nice placards and sit in the park.

It's incredibly naive to ignore the damage and harm caused to a lot of people in the wake of a lot of unfortunate protests which have turned violent, let alone the problems caused but otherwise more basic civil acts.

There are 1000 ways to protest, if you want to sit on the sidewalk and get dragged away, that's fine, just don't get in other people's way.

The "pick two" argument tends to hold weight if there's no way to execute anything better.

Innovation is finding ways to do things faster, better, and quite often (in the long run generally) cheaper. It's the nature of disruption.

For education.. it seems mighty suspicious that we can't create better ways of delivering curriculum that doesn't change often... but in social media we can pump out so much digital information of the latest happenings (or opinions/interpretations) that it can overwhelm the senses and brain and become fact.

But, what do non-academics know. And what do academics know about the capabilities and possibilities of tech.

The next year will be extremely interesting for experts and leaders to show, instead of tell or talk.

It depends a lot on the model, but some are probably making way more than they'd make elsewhere.
Okay, this is interesting. Let's play out a scenario.

Take a 45-year-old who's worked hard and gotten very lucky. They've earned $50 million from an IPO and are retiring early. How much money can they spend per year, before and after the wealth tax?

Just to keep it interesting, I'm proposing this scenario before running the numbers.

Assumptions:

1. Death at 90, no money left over.

2. Money invested very conservatively with 3.5% return.

3. No income, so no income tax or capital gains tax [1].

4. Inflation is 1.76% (average of last 10 years [2]).

5. Wealth tax is 0.4% applied to wealth in excess of $30mm.

With the wealth tax, our lucky devil can spend $1,509,000 every year. That's inflation adjusted, so when they turn 90, they're spending $3.3mm per year.

Without the wealth tax, they can spend $45K more: $1,554,000 per year (inflation adjusted).

I don't know about you, but if I had $1.51mm in spending money per year, I wouldn't be sweating the extra $0.05mm. It seems like a reasonable cost to me, and very low compared what you'd pay in income tax.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fV9pip51Z-qqRUG3pDEc...

[1] I may have misunderstood how capital gains are taxed when you have no other income. I don't think it detracts from the overall point, though.

The requirements were surely to give preference to closer delivery people, and the easiest code to write will simply order delivery people by distance.

The simplest solution is therefore that, yes, someone 10 feet away will get it before someone 20 feet away.

The developers would have to go out of their way to add a buffer zone, e.g. find the closest person, add 1,000 feet, find everyone within that range, then select randomly. Or create a "local zone" distance range and a queue. Or other options -- once you try to figure out "what's fair" it gets really complicated.

That extra code is only going to get written if it has to.

So there's nothing ridiculous about it at all. In fact it's the simplest, most expected solution.

Now that it's news, however, Amazon might actually come up with more sophisticated requirements.
A lot of people can't understand just how often people, including their friends, lie; yes even to them! People think they will be able to detect any lie.

People are delusional.
