Interesting findings, extremely badly presented.
Thank you, that's the first intelligible explanation I've read here on this thread!
Upwork has worked well for me. You really have to invite promising candidates individually instead of opening the floodgates, and even then the hitrate is low. I typically give a small assignment to around 5 selected freelancers. I've found some amazing people this way, and are still working with them on an on-going basis.
At first I react the headline as asking whether I was an antichrist. Hopefully not.
I didn't emit any remark about the obvious rampant misogyny in tech. You're jumping to completely unwarranted conclusions.
I don't think it's realistic to believe that hierarchies wouldn't emerge one way or another. The hierarchy can arise in the form of a mafia, or in a more regulated way.
> If there’s a line to get on a crowded bus, do you wait your turn and refrain from elbowing your way past others even in the absence of police?

> If you answered “yes”, then you are used to acting like an anarchist!

No, if you answered "yes", then that means you live in a society that maintains bus stops, and buses, and these buses are expected to come at regular intervals and stop right in front of the first person waiting in the line, and (for example) not stop fifty meters from the stop sign (and in the middle of the road), forcing everybody to run toward the bus before it takes off again, because there are five other buses and eight illegally parked cars between the bus and the stop sign.

In other words, being able to wait in line in an orderly fashion is not (only) the result of human decency. It's a result of decades of social trial-and-error, forcing people to (for example) not park at bus stops, and eventually convincing enough people that there is a working social system.

I guess one can build a convincing case for anarchism (I particularly liked Le Guin's take in The Dispossessed) but this example is a straight-up first world problem.

Thermal efficiency in the Rankine cycle (which powerplants apparently leverage) is around 30%.

So it sounds like there's a lot of potential improvement. Of course, given we're talking fusion and not fission any power plants are purely hypothetical at the moment as all publicly known fusion facilities are for research.
So you consider their differential diagnosis to be wrong. They clearly considered Kawasaki as a comparison too.

Could you indicate your source and credentials?

Is Kawasaki syndrome already considered a post-viral problem?

Are you saying these children had Kawasaki already, or that Covid19 infection causes Kawasaki?
That is definitely the debate that the Democratic side of the aisle seems to be making as well with the same amount of clarity and nuance.

This is definitely not OK because it reduces the entropy of the passwords without the user knowing this has happened.
If I understand correctly, it's not that the computation itself is subjective, but that the interpretation of the results is. Like how things are represented in lambda calculus - is this really an integer, or is it just a blob of function applications that has an interpretation consistent with being an integer? That part is subjective. Edit: to be more explicit, the parallel is "is that really a mind, or is it just a blob of molecules that has an interpretation consistent with being a mind?"

How does capslock remapping have anything to do with proper training? I remapped capslock because it had been years since I pressed it intentionally, but I use escape all the time.

For me there's a few reasons, but the chief among them is its positioning of its desktop client as an afterthought. Telegram's clients are first class citizens on every platform they run on, which is rare and hard to let go of once you've experienced it.

Its security is more questionable than Signal's for sure, but it comes so much closer to a cross-platform iMessage than Signal does that for 99% of day to day communications it's hard to care.

I'm sure Ubuntu considers it progress when they can push more people to use their pet project and it's app store nobody can self-host and give less room to its competitor. But is it progress for the users, for whom access to software not available as Snap and not in repos became harder? The developers who hoped supporting one of the competing formats would be enough to reach most users, and picked for Flatpak for any number of reasons?
It is strange given my physics training to read this discussion.

Physicists do not directly apply Occam's razor in most circumstances, and we certainly don't do bookkeeping on how many “entities” there are, and your comment illustrates precisely why: how you count is not a given.

Here is something that did happen in classical mechanics: we transitioned from F_i = m a_i to Lagrangians even though they have roughly similar explanatory power. Here is an argument that was not made: “Lagrangians are truer because you don't have to postulate three equations of conservation of momentum and one of conservation of energy, you just have one law of least action.” Nobody even declared a confident end to the tyrrany of Newton's third law as Lagrangians no longer need it.

Furthermore nobody said that classical field theory was “better” per Occam's razor merely because you were no longer bound by the tyrrany of the least action principle and could now consider essentially a world in which F_i = m a_i was not universally true, to be replaced with a philosophical interpretation by some bloke Neverett who declares the fields on-shell “typical” and derives the least-action principle as a statement that “if you find yourself in a typical universe then almost surely your retroactive reconstruction of events satisfies the least action principle.”

No, many worlds interpretation is thriving precisely because it calls physicists attention to the importance of decoherence calculations in the understanding of various physical phenomena. It gives you an idea for how to model measurements that are somehow partial, or being continuously performed. Occam doesn't enter into the discussion in the first place.

That's probably the one. It's probably not for everyone; the first part of the book is building a whole and detailed world for the story to exist in, as well as creating an interesting and articulate main character to tell the story. One of the really good things about Anathem is that Stephenson hides a lot of clues and advanced mathematics in the early chapters. For example, there are two very good explanations of configuration spaces (aka Hemn Spaces) which might seem like a complete waste of time, but is actually foreshadowing.

Great article. Resonated within me.
I once worked with a Malaysian guy who had worked in the Singaporean broadcast company. They managed all radio equipment. He told me the story of one time the radio gear salesman gave the manager a box of chocolates at Christmas. The manager was so nervous about accepting a gift that he insisted that everyone on staff eat at least one of the chocolates.
> Your assumption is that we led happy and fulfilling lives before what we now call society, which is false.

No, that's not my assumption, and I'm confused why you think it is. I'm simply saying that I, right now, in our current state of society, am not driving a car to work or buying water bottles in my current happy and fulfilling life, and the only reason I did that previously (and might do so in the future) is because a corporation backed by our current form of government made it so that I needed to do that to have a happy and fulfilling life.

I didn't say anything about the state of humanity before modern society. You make some good points, but I don't think they have much to do with this particular discussion. You may well be raising a different good objection to anarchism, but it's not the objection I'm responding to.
How the Passion Economy Informs the Future of Earned Media

I don't see a problem with the author using a more modern terminology for "cause" than would have existed at the time, to describe what anyone working with lime plasters appreciates on a basic level; the stuff stays exceptionally white and clean.

Personally I don't like their saying just that it kills off bacteria. It's an antimicrobial/fungicide in general because of its elevated Ph.

I'd prefer the article take the opportunity to educate me about the practical value of lime plaster than restrict itself to the limited education of medeivil minds.

This mainly affects stuff like opencl, opengl, vulkan, qt, Apache, PHP & PAM.

A few this could be solved (esp PAM and GPU ones) by making the full thing work over IPC. Already opengl is a pain to work in generic containers.
Would you argue the same if they were called Python v37.0 and v38.0? Let's imagine that they are and move on. The problem is to use the alias "python3" as if it were the executable name.

Sure, that's a reasonable objection to anarchism, but that's also not particularly relevant to the question of whether individuals on their own will harm our planet, I think?
I still have that book. As fascinating today as it was as a child.

It's a title, not a summary or a value judgment. The conclusions are in the article.
I don't think people are trying to downplay COVID but rather "up-play" the effects of obesity that so few people seem to care about
Well, the way I see it is this: you, as a person, contain your thoughts and possessions and so on - call it your value. But you also exist in space and time, you have a defined location. You don't carry it in your pocket, it's something you implicitly contain.
It's a bit circular, though, isn't it? It is in part due to the fact that a mechanical engineer _has_ that legal certification that they have the standing to meaningfully object, and actually be listened to by their PHB.
People downplay it because even when presented with these stats, they picture "overweight/obese" as a stereotypical "fat person" wearing size 55 pants and using a scooter to get around the grocery store. And they think "well I'm not fat, so I don't have anything to worry about."

In reality, a significant portion of the people reading this comment probably are "overweight" without even realizing it. "Overweight" is classified by your BMI, and the threshold for "overweight" is much lower than most expect.

If you are 5'6" and weigh 155 lbs, you are medically overweight. That's someone who wears size 31 pants and size small t-shirts. Not even close to your stereotypical "fat" person, but according to the statistics: overweight.

edit to clarify: I intentionally put "overweight" in quotes to indicate that I am using the medical definition of "overweight", and I am not saying that someone who is 5'6" and 155 lbs is unhealthy, fat, or needs to lose weight. Someone who is 5'6" and 155 lbs is, IMO, on the fitter side of the spectrum, but according to the statistics, still "overweight".
I finished the book last night. It's not a long read in terms of pages, but in the first half particularly it took me quite a few stops to ponder about what had been laid in few sentences. Greg Egan is awesome.

I can actually grasp the Dust theory thing pretty well as I followed Durham's realizations, however I somehow can't fathom the "more practical" TVC universe stuff, and perhaps you can enlighten me:

- TVC starts with borrowed compute but somehow connects to the Dust Theory, right?

- The whole "TVC is software and compute-based" at first (some software is even implanted in it), but somehow becomes a self-expanding thing as the story needs it simply by being a mathematical object, am I understanding this correctly?

- Why would a few minutes of compute offer Durham any more relief than a second of it, a theoretical proof of it, or a billion years of it? Since they are even in a position to kickstart something computable, it mathematically exists, therefore by the Dust theory they don't even need to start it in order for everything in the book to happen. Admittedly, that makes for a much shorter book (or a billion trillion other scenarios and then some, whatever floats one's boat)

- Why would the TVC Durham enjoy the continuation while the "flesh" Durham wouldn't? I guess I'm getting personal there, but isn't part of the understanding of this wholeness of existence also the acceptance that whatever currently unsatisfactory situation is but one amongst infinity anyway, and pain is as powerful as you want an illusion to be? (in his case, alienation from society, or lack of purpose once he feels validated). This is the part where I think the book really crosses into Buddhist concepts at times.

I really liked the book, and like a lot of good books it left me with more questions and wonder than I started with. For me, it does make the sound of one hand clapping. :)
Most here seems to just think that iMessage is just SMS. They don’t think in terms of protocol, iMessage is on the phone, it sends text messages... it’s SMS.

I think it help that SMS had been basically free even before iMessage arrived, so people never care to look into alternatives to save money.

30% of the population are obese, and another 30% are overweight. In total, more than 60% are overweight/obese.
Any approach to sharing and collaborating around a git repository that requires some convention inside that repository seems fundamentally broken to me. I understand why people want to do it that way -- self describing artifacts are quite handy. Having something like fossil that can live inside a git repo itself is a big plus, for some workflows. I would be shocked if the linux kernel tree ever has a project.json file added to it. All the identifiers you need are already there in the commit hashes, why create another layer of complexity inside the repo itself?
I think you overestimate the amount of QA resources available to the Ubuntu project. Looks like this was an issue that only happened after repeated use and seems somewhat related to individual systems' font configurations?

> "iMessage has a very strong lock-in effect while iCloud and Apple Music do not."

Does it really, though? I'm an iPhone user but have friends and family who have moved to Android without too much drama. Our chats just moved to other messaging apps with barely a second thought.

If we lived in a world where WhatsApp and other cross-platform messaging apps didn't exist, then there would be a strong lock-in effect. But as it stands the iMessage lock-in is weak, at best.
The study in question is for kids though. The percent of children who are overweight or obese is smaller. Likewise pre-existing conditions are rarer in children.

Food courts exist and often have very lower quality food at higher prices than individual restaurants because it turns out the overhead of having everything under one roof, and having to compete with redundant choices, takes away from the bottom line.

So I'd say you're over thinking the analogy, but actually that's the perfect representation of what's wrong with cable.

-

Not to mention, my comment isn't just saying "it's good because it's better than cable", that's just focusing on an aside lol.

My comment is "it's good period as you're (god forbid) willing to watch something else once in a while, or pay for it." Hell like I said I don't care if you pirate it just again don't pretend the studio made you by not making a bespoke service with everything you want.

And also your comment about your home country... something tells me your home country doesn't have the worlds largest entertainment industry: https://www.selectusa.gov/media-entertainment-industry-unite...

People often confuse raw sales with revenue, even Bollywood revenue the pails in comparison to American revenue

That being the case a simple comparison of "I paid less elsewhere" doesn't represent the reality of things. You were either paying for less overall content, or paying for a lot of content produced and heavily funded by the US payment structure and much more cheaply licensed to your country.

The complication being of course, if it was values at that pricing locally then the shows wouldn't exist.

-

And it's not like the US was alone in their cable situation so I'm very surprised to hear it was better else aside from the fees. The fees were problematic, but by it's very nature cable involves hardware and often has termed contracts

I've lived in multiple other countries (I wasn't born in the US) and 10 years ago I find it very hard to believed any country has cable (or even worse satellite) TV at "decent price" without the "pay us more for HD" and bundled packages mess unless there was just straight up a barely any content compared to the kinds of packages I'm talking about.

Resources are not infinite but human imagination is. We already produce more food than needed, there is hunger in the world, but not because of shortage but for multiple other reasons.

Main point is that humans are intelligent and we can choose where and how we compete or if we don't want to compete at all.

Holocene extinction is mainly because humans collaborated in much better way than any other animal can. Life might be build on competition but we see how powerful collaboration is.
