I am using motion quite generally, to include the motion of particles, heat, etc. I don't know if the emergent property stuff is proven or discussed much, but I think the field is coming around to it, if for no other reason than they are running out of ideas.

Physics has been working in the top-down direction. That is not how you find emergent properties, it is an attempt to explain things from the properties they seem to possess.

For instance, the relatively gigantic boson is somehow "sub-atomic", to particle physicists. Whereas I think it that particles emerge from the breakdown of the bosonic field, and when we smash together the particles which reveal the boson, we are briefly seeing what happens when we have put them back together.

A very good primer on this is "Intensive Science and Virtual Philosophy" by Manuel DeLanda.
For me they are both: Small groups of people passionately working towards a unique vision, typically under-funded to address a niche that is under-represented / under-invested by "the incumbents".

I'd be happy to view them differently. I just haven't been educated on the differences.
What, how is this possible?

Is it a electrical problem of the TV, or is the TV emitting some sort of EM field? If the latter, that surely would be strong enough to affect all sort of electrical appliances. If its electrics, then surely other stuff like lights would be flickering or fuses would blow.

The articles links to a blog post by Openreach which doesn't go into much detail about this.

Does anyone have an idea?

EDIT: This [1] provides a far better explanation, and links to a page at BT [2] which explains what SHINE is.

I still think this is crazy, surely broadband/telephone lines would be better shielded from this type of interference...

Meanwhile, the much maligned Sweden is experiencing no uptick in deaths: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/, and US death counts are dropping as well.
I'll place my bet on cephalopods. Wonder how the two civilizations would interact after discovering each other.

And if we don't go extinct, perhaps one day we'll uplift both species.
they have to tune the DSP settings to get the amplification et al. profiles to match the patient's individual hearing loss pattern. that takes custom interface/programmer hardware the manufacturers generally only (afaik) give to licensed audiologists as it takes specialized education to do this work properly. the ear dome/mold bits themselves are a minor component of the overall fitting process. (src: been wearing hearing aids for about thirty years)
That’s deeply false. The US has engineered and provided support for coups around the world. Does that not count as destabilization?
Yes, the teats are cleaned, cups cleaned, all automatically. Cow is fed during and has optional feed afterwards. Instead of there being a fixed milking time, the cows just come in whenever they feel like it - encouraged by the feeling of relief. They’d auto-detect mastitis etc.

Obviously people have views on dairy but the tech was very cool to see up close. The dairy family could look up on their phone, any particular cow and get info on milk volume and timings.
Oh, yes, I knew about that, thanks; it sounded as if there might be something further along.
There was plenty of replication, it just wasn't published in the "peer reviewed" journals that are supposed to help advance science, but work against it these days.
This is a really great idea.

You can skip the complex mathematics to begin. You'll millionaires before it matters.

I don't think it's intelligence, but humility.

We are (hopefully) transitioning through an era where being a conqueror is less successful than collaboration. But there are way too many of us who are less than seven generations separated from conquerors. Conquerors bank on exclusiveness, not inclusiveness.

We're still trying to convince each other that all the humans deserve to be in the Humanity Club. If we can't hack that, then who is going to want to talk about cetaceans and chimpanzees and corvids?

Delphi and family have changed hands several times since the golden Delphi 7 age. A lot of the decisions along the way were very controversial. Think of a product with a massive community turning into niche. Price up while cutting costs.

It was clear that they intended to squeeze the few remaining customers. The forums, even moderated by the company, reflected the bad morale. So they closed the forums. They were in a nntp server with a web gateway.

The last insult, that made me disconnect, was removing database access from the "Professional" license and moving it to the "Enterprise Architect", not sure how it ended, I couldn't keep watching.

This Bold news seem too little too late.
Let's not overlook the fact that he did present himself to the police for questioning in sweden. He was told he was free to go and free to leave the country.

The investigation was then re-opened by a politician subsequently after he released the Afghanistan war logs. iirc.

But if that doesn't bother you maybe the uncontested fact that his _one_ accuser literally wrote a scribe on how to get back at an ex-boyfriend by falsely accusing them of rape might just a little bit.

To say the case was thin is the most massive understatement. If you had published the secrets of the military industrial complex and intended to publish more should any heroes get them to you for publication do you think you'd be at all scared?

>To say literally anything else is to assume that he must be beyond reproach simply because of who he has upset.

That is nonsense. Nobody has said that. Ever. He has consistently said he was available to be questioned a second time via video link up or in person in the uk.

The total unwillingness of the swedes to make a skype call in the circumstances while being completely willing to drop the charges is something that bothers me.

>And if you cannot trust the police, it is already too late.

At no point have you ever been able to "trust the police" This is why we have the rule of law and courts in liberal democracies. It isn't perfect but its vastly better than anything else the human race has devised. We should protect it and keep striving for its ideals. This is the big issue at the center of this story. Assange's rights and yours and mine to the rule of law and equality before really appear to be being infringed based on the power of upsetting the military industrial complex.

That should probably bother us all to some degree.
Great and awesome resource. Just signed up as a paid member. My only minor gripe is that most of the courses are geared towards frontend development. It would be great if founders can invite authors to develop some courses on backend development, databases and some SRE etc.

Any courses on frameworks such as ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails or Django would be great. I can see the complexity arising in creating in-browser tutorials involving any backend or framework etc. But I think it will add tremendous value to the platform.
The context of the NYT article seems to be that the bat-eating theory is now classified as “misinformation” by the NYT. This is confusing to me because that theory was widely discussed in the early months of the pandemic; implicitly classifying it as “misinformation” implies that it’s been discredited. That alone is news to me. The primary alternative to this theory, which I’ve definitely seen classified as “misinformation”, would be that the virus somehow escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

By “official theory” I meant the narrative that NYT and similar establishments are going with now. Infer from that what you will.
Besides lacking thumbs, dolphins would also have a pretty hard time harnessing fire as a tool. This probably truncates their tech tree severely.
I don't follow what point you're making. I mentioned nothing about monopolies, disallowing anyone from making a phone or console(?), nor Apple specifically. My comment was about smartphones in general.

It's pretty simple. Gaming consoles are primarily (almost exclusively) for entertainment.

Smartphones are for accessing information, essential services (ie. banking), directions, forecasts, and news. They also facilitate communicating with family, friends, business associates, emergency services and in many cases the government itself. Oh, they also contain our most intimate thoughts, plans, ideas and memories.

It's not even comparable. At all.

>I don't particularly like Pepsi, and rather enjoy coka cola, but I'm not going to go out on a mad rager ...

Absolutely terrible analogy. How about instead you were denied the right to own a smartphone? But were told it's okay because hey, you have a console! It's a perfect substitute!
If I can hijack this thread to make a plea of my, very short, wishlist:

* Multi master reads and writes.

* Much better connection handlers, it's silly to always install pgbouncer every time I need to use PostgreSQL.

With these 2 features, PostgreSQL would grow to the next level. It already has a lot of SQL features. Now it needs operational features.
As a person from a tropical country, I was puzzled with all those salty "candy" sold in the west. I ate one and thought who the hell would eat this horrible salty candy on purpose? So those are actually good for the throat on freezing climate?

They largely still do. The Oceans are huge, both in terms of surface area and then in terms of depth.
> but we decide what "open source" means

Well, "we" in the Open Source movement decided that it means not restricting what users do with their code.

I don't understand what's so hard about this. Overwhelmingly, the biggest players in the Open Source ecosystem have consistently been saying, "call it whatever you want, just be clear that you're not the same as us." And the response from a lot of people has been, "no, you have to let us call ourselves the same as you."

Source Available has been a term for a really long time, and its generally understood what it means, and plenty of people use the term with plenty of good will. This shouldn't be a controversy, it's such a straightforward, easy concession. There's nothing wrong with being Source Available.

So why do we need to come up with a new term that describes the freedoms we've been consistently preaching for decades just because a couple of for-profit companies want the good will that we've generated? This isn't language evolving over time, it's people outside the community trying to decide how we're allowed to define ourselves within in the community.

Yes, language is descriptive, but that doesn't mean you can just redefine anything you want any time you want. Even more than that, the fact that language is descriptive does not mean it's a bad thing for communities to try and publicize and preserve the descriptive language that already exists. Open Source advocates are hardliners on this issue specifically because we recognize that language is descriptive, and that our ability to preserve the meaning of the words that describe our community is dependent on us taking the time to educate and correct people who are genericizing those terms.
wow! ah, other than naive googling on those drug candidate identifiers, are there any sources you'd recommend to read more about this?

(I have a genetic condition that tl;dr impacts hair cell substrate material leading to hearing loss by early teens. Being able to hear natively again would be ... words fail me.)
Simple. Nobody needs it to sell things and make money, or spread ideas and grab power. Amazon isn't going to spend a penny of its income on things that don't have a profitable ROI. Misinformation sources would prefer things not be cataloged accurately an sensibly. The actual portion of the web dedicated to information based on fact and useful content is dwarfed by everything control by actors who are only there to make money or control people.
You don't need fiber. As for use cases, i just now played an hour of The Division 2 on my laptop (with intel integrated gpu) using 4g connection from my phone.
People can't be bothered to run their own websites, that is what happened.

Wikidata was launched, so now you can just host your data there.

Wikidata has better searching than the real semantic web could ever get, since it has a team of devs and sysadmins with a view of the whole dataset.

Also, the Semantic Web had no story for how to contact authors and suggest changes to their schema. DNS does not provide sufficient identity or messaging. But Mediawiki does.
>Unlike streaming movies or music, cloud gaming can consume up to 10GB/hr at 1080p

Makes sense. It is also a problem on many internet providers (including Comcast), not just mobile.
Honestly I'm not sure what your complaint is here. Or at least you seem to be very adamant that some particular interpretation/ontology is obviously the right one.

In standard quantum theory, electron spin can be modeled by a 2 dimensional complex vector. It's also possible to model the spin of an isolated system using 3 dimensional real vector (the "Bloch sphere").
> misusing government power to enforce unequal treatment for a disfavored subgroup is exactly like what the Soviets did.

It is, which is why Proposition 8 was rejected.

> Now that you've steamrolled your own position more effectively than I managed to, we're done here.

Dude, are you seriously going to be that snide while poorly strawmanning my argument? I’m not at all saying we need to stop gay marriage via govt. I’m saying cancel culture sucks.
I think the opposite, the law should stop burdening banks and the regulators with these mostly erroneous reports. The SARs didnt necessarily help bust Manafort, the bank already had records of the sender and recipient either way.
Can this imbalance occur transiently?

One time, I was awake for ~3 days straight. I ended up in the hospital (visual hallucinations) and the only thing remarkable was low potassium and high BP.

But I've had this long running hypothesis that body has trouble with cortisol regulation when I'm extremely fatigued. If I miss a night of sleep, the next night it is extremely hard for me to fall asleep (cortisol inhibits sleep) and I have that terrible 'stress sweat' odor.

Remeron will then knock me out... where as hypnotics will not. Remeron being interesting because it inhibits the production of cortisol.
The common misconception of HN crowd: assumption that everyone are like them and actually want complete control. There is a nontrivial cost to having that control and not many actually want it. They want something that works and is useable.

I highly recommend this PBS special largely dealing with the intelligence of crows: https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/a-murder-of-crows-introducti...

They might have had some other specials too, but in one they show them completing complicated multi-step challenges using tools to get food.
They definitely don't offer 400mb of updates every single day. You also don't have to apply updates every time they offer them.

If you waited to apply updates once every 3 months you'd be fine.
You and I came to different conclusions from the same idea.

I came out thinking why anyone would fuck with this gameable broken system, the more i learn about cypto the less I think of it.
I'm endlessly grateful that Raccoons aren't more intelligent.
Of course it's focused on retail and profit-oriented services.
Can’t wait until Amazon and Google and Twitter drones regularly patrol the neighborhood.
Ok now compare the iPhone's market share to Standard Oil and AT&T's market share at the time of their breakup. One of these things is not like the others.
Yeah a peeve of mine as well, I've always thought the name is insensitive at best.

However, I would have thought it's taken as given that you only stand if you are able and the real goal is to keep the meetings short and focused; with physical "discomfort" being an inspired motivator.
We didn't come to rule the world with our intelligence... we came to rule it with fire.

Fire, control over it and the ability to make it, is the one thing humans have that no other animal has. We may (or not) be more intelligent, have a more complex capacity for language, etc., but those are differences of degree. Only fire is truly a difference of kind. We are the animal that makes fire.

Fire is literally what made us what we are... it is probable that increased availability of food calories from cooking was what allowed us to grow our big and calorically expensive brains. So fire comes before our vaunted intelligence. And then fire made us the most powerful creatures on earth, and enabled what we call civilization and technology and progress, each new stage in our development enabled by ever greater dissipation of energy gradients... mostly through fire. Although we did also harness other energy sources throughout history, such as wind and running water, and lately, nuclear fission, always fire was primary, the real driver of our dominion over the planet, even today.

And as it looks, fire will be our end as well, as we use it to release the fossil energy nature stored up over millions of years in mere decades and turn our lovely earth into an inferno.
But it's not just users that have this behavior. There was major outcry from some developers about Apple removing Carbon even after 12 years of deprecation and no updates. There was a lot of support from developer-centric community like HN. An example: [1]

Considering that even developers are not too understanding, it's no wonder people assume non-tech people will react the same way.

I really don't see a good solution for that. Even if Apple open sourced Carbon, I doubt Carbon users would be able pick up the slack, since they had 12 years to update but couldn't (or 20 if you consider Carbon was always marketed as a stopgap/compatibility solution).

Maybe the longer term results are different. If the Fermi Paradox is a thing, perhaps our brand of intelligence - the combination of brains and dexterity and environment that let us quickly advance from sophisticated tool building to a global industrial economy - is an evolutionary dead end and species that have gone down this path destroy their ecosystem and themselves along with it inside a few thousand years.

Whereas other intelligent species that lack the environment or manual dexterity to even light a fire will keep on going long after we're extinct.
The comedian Hannibal Buress (who has asthma) has a funny bit about this in his most recent special [1]. He talks about how asthma gets a raw deal compared to other illnesses and isn't taken seriously at all (nerdy stereotypes etc) and how insane it is that you need to keep renewing a prescription for such a necessary and life-saving substance. As if there are people out there getting messed up on albuterol.

People have died from drinking too much water, probably more than have been killed by liquorice.

But this type of reasoning went out the window, as soon as humans started killing dolphins in large numbers (see tuna nets), and the dolphins had no way to defend themselves or otherwise dissuade humans from doing that.

This is one of the big lessons in history. The civilizations that use their intelligence to make tools and weapons end up screwing civilizations that "muck about, having a good time".
No because I'm betting on the concept not being successful enough to become the dominant distribution method. I think it will have a successful niche, but not much more. I know that I never plan on using it, I already own over a thousand games and have barely played 10% of them. TBH I'm probably good for most of the rest of my life haha.
No, I seem to not be communicating my thoughts properly. My moral framework is, "killing animals to eat is okay." I have no issues with it. My preference is to keep my pet alive because I do not need him for food and I like him better as a pet. I didn't say I wouldn't eat him: I would have no moral issues killing him for food, though I probably wouldn't much like it. If not for the fact that animals that die of natural causes aren't very tasty, I'd probably eat him when he died.
Depends last offer to work (earlier this year) as Delphi developer was €1200/day excl. VAT which is an amazing day rate
They can build nests. Nest building seems to often get overlooked in discussions about tool use, perhaps because shelter isn't traditionally considered a sort of tool? But it seems tool-like to me. Maybe nest building doesn't impress us because bugs do it too?
The thing he was afraid of potentially happening to him in Sweden is in fact actually happening to him for real in the UK right now. It is a logical requirement for him to be more at risk in the UK than Sweden, unless you wish to deny that the events being reported on in this linked blog are real.

I completely agree our personal opinions should not define who we support or oppose in a court of law. Even if he had gone to Sweden, been convicted, been given the maximum sentence for those offences, served that entire sentence, and only then been released: that does not change how guilty he is or isn’t of the new accusations by America.

Likewise in reverse: even if he is completely innocent of every crime is accused of by America, and the American courts exonerate him and proclaim the prosecution to have been brought for purely political reasons, and end up prosecuting and convicting his persecutors instead of him, that does not mean he is incapable of being guilty of the crimes he was accused of by Sweden, and for which the statue of limitations has now expired.
It's really the general case that I'm interested in. Understanding and dealing with different licenses doesn't necessarily scale well, which is exactly why license proliferation is a Bad Thing.

For those people who use Timescale and really like it, and are willing to read and understand this license and then use it, I say "Great!" But in general I find license proliferation to be undesirable and would generally encourage organizations to use standard licenses.
