> This is good stuff! The impulses from the individual's sensory perception is filtered through a mechanism that is influenced by the current body and it's stored history of retained memories. This influences the experience bringing the mind into the picture as it tries to gain an understanding of the perception using the history it has cataloged.

> As long as your consciousness is plagued by the breath and the senses it cannot perform its proper function and is dominated by the mind. The breath gives life to the ego which is your thoughts on your life situation, a time based reality. Your mind then spends a good deal of time in the past and future, neither of which you are interested in. As long as the consciousness is plagued by senses, your mind is focused on body awareness that makes you believe you are a separate individual. The breath and the senses block your consciousness from it's most important job which is to tap into God consciousness and the all knowingness that it provides.

> The goal is to shut down everything that is causing us to think we are having an individual experience and to turn on our communication system to God consciousness. So when your kundalini is completely functional, you tap into universal knowledge and discard your experience as an individual, realizing you are one with all. The rewards from this knowingness are so much greater than anything that could be gained by experiencing life as an individual. And so you start working for the good of all humanity and realize that God is the doer, you are just experiencing his work through you. You gain complete understanding of the temporary nature of your body, a prison that is the cause of your consciousness' feelings of separateness. In this state, your former desires and discomforts are either washed away or become trivial to you in the grand scheme of things.

> This is why Satyananda writes that there are essentially two types of human beings: those who are on the pravritti path and those who are on the nivritti path. A man following the pravritti (outward) path looks away from bindu towards the outside world. He is almost entirely motivated by external events. This is the path of most people today and it leads away from self-knowledge and into bondage. The other path, the nivritti (reversed) path, is the spiritual path, the path of wisdom. On this path the individual begins to face the bindu, turning in towards the source of his being. This path leads to freedom. The path of evolution is the pravritti path of manifestation and extroversion. The path of involution leads back along the path that has produced your individual being. It leads back through the bindu to sahasrara. In fact, the whole purpose of yoga practice is to help direct your awareness along the involutionary path.

> The books all say we are not the mind, we are consciousness. The consciousness has access to the universal truths through the ajna. The mind is suppose to be a tool of the consciousness. It's job is to tell the consciousness what is going on in the body. Somehow the mind has taken over the consciousness making us believe that the mind and body is all you are. You can intellectually believe that this is not true but until you actually shut down the mind, you cannot utilize the full resources of the consciousness and therefore this is not truth to you but merely beliefs. The contents of the mind is made up of current sensory perceptions and stored sensory perceptions.

> When the mind is focused on the stored sensory perceptions, you focus on a time based reality. Your life is consumed by memories or a fantasy based future. I believe shutting down the breath takes care of the stored sensory perceptions or the time based reality. The next step is to shut down the current sensory perceptions or body awareness which gives us our present “reality”. I believe the ability to do that comes after the achievement of kechari stage II and so I can't speak intelligently about this. Most of the senses the body has, sight, hearing, smell and taste are near the tongue. I have read that a circuit is completed when the tongue enters the nasal pharynx. What does this allow us to do?
We are slowly loosing ownership (and in many cases we've already lost) of the tech that we think we own (mobile devices, laptops, gadgets, etc). And the thing is that is hard to make people aware about this issue, especially elder people. I have just helped an old lady with her own new laptop and I was completely shocked the number of steps that we had to go through to get her Windows 10 working for her brand new Acer laptop (asked for PIN number, fingerprint, Microsoft account and don't know what else mumbo jumbo just to get it running). Proprietary software definitely is going in the wrong direction and people generally are ok with it. 15 or 20 years ago you got a CD and that was more than enough to get things running. Sometimes I think how lucky I'm to be able to put a FreeBSD/OpenBSD/Linux in my computers and do whatever the f* I want with it and get rid of all the nonsense and bs that multi-billion companies are putting in front of us to consume.
I naively assumed, until today, that the whole point of using linux in docker was that you get the multi-arch goodness of linux for free!

> Second off I hope I don't offend but I feel people are throwing the term guru around loosely. This is from the book be here now by dr. richard alpert who transformed to hari dass baba. "At certain stages in the spiritual journey, there is a quickening of the spirit which is brought about through the grace of the guru. When you are at one of the stages where you need this catalyst, it will be forthcoming. There is really nothing you can do about gurus. It doesn't work that way. If you go looking for a guru and you are not ready to find one, you will not find what you are looking for. On the other hand when you are ready, the guru will be exactly where you are at the appropriate moment. All you can do it purify yourself of body and mind. Each stage of purification will make you sensitive to new levels of perception. Finally you arrive at a level where the guru is. Question: Does everyone have a guru? Answer: Yes, however, you may or may not meet your guru on the physical plane in this lifetime. It isn't necessary. Since the relation between a guru and disciple is not on the physical plane, the guru can act upon you from within yourself. YOu may meet him thhrough dreams or visions or merely sense his presence. However, it is only after much purification that you will honor these meetings rather than rejecting them in favor of the more gross manifestations. There have been many saints who realized enlightenment without ever meeting their guru in a physical manifestation. . So My point is not to offend that people are loosely using the term guru where the term teacher or guide should be used instead of guru.
As someone who is quite unattractive, enough so that complete strangers, sober ones, occasionally feel compelled to point it out without any prior prompting or contact, for me it isn't about the playing field or anything else like that. As unpleasant as it is, I get that sometimes you're on the unfun side of the bell curve.

No, what I would like to see is the occasional acknowledgement that it might affect a few situations. I do not need any kind of recognition ceremony or anything, just a nod to it. I don't want attractive people to feel bad over it or rub it in their faces, just ... could stand to have fewer people falling all over themselves to say no no, that cannot possibly be.
You didn’t answer the issues I raised.

In the Twitter video (https://twitter.com/FrankFigliuzzi1/status/13244858190427054...), Bannon immediately goes on to talk about executing traitors and justifying it with historical examples. So, he's not just talking about "putting heads on pikes" metaphorically, but also doubling down on why execution is a viable tool historically. And Bannon knows that these comments come with the context of Fauci needing 24/7 security after receiving multiple death threats.

You might come down on either side of the censorship / free speech argument, but Bannon knows exactly what he's doing with his words here, and it went beyond a one-off bad-taste metaphor.

There's a few startups in this space: see Spreedly, Optile etc. In my experience large enterprises are heading in this direction and managing that abstraction is not something which they want to do themselves (particularly with evolving local regulation/APMs/3DS2.x in Europe).

> a Bill of Rights was promised during the ratification debates, and then drafted and ratified by the Congress

Well, Articles 2-12 of the proposed Bill of Rights were ratified by the States (Congress proposes amendments but does not ratify them), though Article 2 only after quite an extended period had elapsed from it's proposal.
I think the point is that that database is too large to store on a single machine which is why it has to be ad-hoc queried and cached. I mean it will have the signature of every program run on a Mac.
You’re making the common mistake to assume AGI significantly increases the advancement of technology. If AI research has demonstrated anything it’s Intelligence doesn’t increase linearly with computation. Compare two identical chess engines where one has 10% more computational power behind it and that program has a surprisingly limited increase in ELO score.

It’s seductive to think AGI will suddenly advance technology dramatically, but dumping more effort into existing technology has a bad habit of hitting diminishing returns. Ideas like nano-machines seem to have vast potential, until you realize biology is already operating at those scales and has significant limitations.
Yeah, Java is better than most languages at this too. It’s still too early to say for sure, but Go feels better at this point. it has more to do with the libraries, dependencies, and ecosystem relative to Java.

I don’t even remember what I was using for Java 1.2. Maybe ant and struts? I doubt there’s a good path to update such things without a giant rewrite or refactor.
I always wonder about the after action in a situation like this. Obviously, it makes Apple look bad but it isn't like they are going to flog the responsible team (and I mean responsible in the sense that various teams are in charge of the components of the overall system: the os service that issues the request, the website responding to the request, etc.)

I'm sure some devops folks were getting screamed at while running around with their hair on fire, but what's the cause and response. Hopefully they'll issue a public after action report that isn't jammed with marketing talk like "we were unfortunately caught by surprise and due to the unprecedented massive interest in the latest macOS with its great features for users and developers, blah blah".
Why wouldn't Windows update deleting the user's files be worse?

Urgh, atmospheric ignition was considered but it was studied 6 months before the first nuclear test was conducted: [1] https://www.realclearscience.com/blog/2019/09/12/the_fear_th...

The whole atmospheric ignition thing depends on physics which just doesn't work: specifically, that you can reach a temperature without gravitational pressure that triggers nuclear fusion at ambient atmospheric pressures.

It is in the same category as the "concerns" the LHC would create black holes which swallowed the Earth.
Thanks, the new title is much more actionable.

It happened to me pretty much every other forced windows update, from broken graphics drivers to non functional start menu.

I just replaced that pos with a mac mini....

I use centos 7 for my daily driver, it'll get 8 on it next hardware upgrade. Touch wood not a single problem with that for years now, and amd5000/nv3000 are looking very tasty.
Hmmm I wonder, I'm 6'4", average looking, have a European accent(which i hate) but last time I interviewed for 3 jobs I received offers from all of them. I don't think it was my actual skills as I failed two out of three questions in one of the interviews. I'm not particularly smart either, just common sense and can hack things together.

I have a zoom interview soon, we will see how that goes, maybe I need to hold banana or something for scale.

Just like Microsoft had no obligation to allow Netscape browsers on their operating system?
I don’t really want a giant hash table on my disk either.
>This is what everyone misunderstands. The Developer ID code signing program is not analogous to web certs. The usage of these certs is entirely different.

If a web cert gets revoked a browser won't accept it when making a connection to a domain/server anymore even if they previously did (unless you make it). If an app signing cert gets revoked the OS won't run a binary signed with it anymore even if it previously did (unless you make it). Sounds similar enough to me, minus expiry handling.

Revocation is indeed extremely destructive and should only used by Apple on their own accord against malware but I don't see why a dev themselves shouldn't be able to revoke their own cert without having to go back and forth with the Apple security/support team to have to try to convince them that the issue is severe enough.

The main and basically almost only reason where I see developer side revocation be used is if their keys or account have been (possibly) compromised and therefore there's a chance of it being used for malware. Time can be of big importance in a situation like that too. As a user I absolutely want Apple to revoke certs when requested by the dev themselves without triple verifying if they are really totally actually absolutely sure. I consider the upsides of that to outway the downsides.

While a binary from a dev that has been installed for a long time will be less likely to be malware but not enough to be exempt from that.

Users that dislike OSCP can disable it fully on their side if they want or locally sign anything specific they do trust. Devs didn't ask for it but having developer IDs and application singing seems like a pretty sensible thing to me in an end user OS used by the average consumer.
> I also don't think the rate at which amendments are proposed is a good indication of how healthy our country is. Shouldn't things stabilize and require less revision eventually?

I don't think that's obvious at all, especially given changes in population, technology, and international situations over the same timeframe as that nation's institutional stagnation.
Forking is the ideal solution here. Leave Cairo what it is and continue development in the direction you want. In time those changes can be merged back in if the orginal project continues.

Pressuring maintainers to come back is foolish.

If Windows is working for you "without a hassle", you must be using some version that us mortals can only dream of.
No they can't, at least not with the same amount of effort. Of course, you can make everything good by throwing enough time and money on it, but that's not the point.

The issue is that to have a nice and well architected code base, you have to constantly refactor and improve - sometimes you need to re-arrange and refactor huge parts of the code. Without types _and_ tests, this is just not gonna happen. It will be unproductive and scary, so that people will start to stop touching existing code and work their way around it.

> I think the understandability and maintainability of a code base has more to do with the person writing it than the availability of a type system tbh.

That is the same thing. Because someone who wants great maintainability will also want a great type system (amongst other things).
Hmm, it still seems advisable to do everything humanly possible to avoid nuclear conflict.

_If_ I survived such a conflict, I’d probably wish I hadn’t.
Are you seriously trying to make the argument that it's ok to threaten to decapitate someone as long as you do it in the good old fashioned European way, rather than like ISIS?
Nope, there have been a few issues with BSOD that have impacted quite a lot of people. The latest one was with nvidia drivers being old that caused BSOD after update.

In a previous company the IT dept had to revert a forced by MS update manually on each machine by “hacking” and deleting and replacing files as it was causing BSOD.
I can’t imagine being able to schedule whether I want to play guitar, exercise, read, or start on a new woodworking project. I pick up my guitar few times a day to practice, not at set times. I exercise either in the morning or the evening depending on my mood and my plans. I’m usually working my way through a few books at a time so I may choose any of them to read. I work on projects when I can squeeze an hour or two in or when I wind up with a free afternoon. None of that would ever happen if I had to block out time for it or wait for the necessities to be delivered. Hell, half the time I don’t even know what I want to build until I rummage through the various fasteners and bits of scrap wood laying around and something strikes my fancy. The same goes for cooking, some of the best meals I’ve made were whipped up from the ingredients I had on hand. A perfectly planned life would be devoid of happy accidents.
If your computer is actually airgapped and has no networking interfaces configured, you won't have this issue.

If your computer is able to resolve DNS for ocsp.apple.com but to connection-timeout all traffic, yes, you could possibly reproduce today's issue.
Thanks for the feedback. sans-serif is the new standard font. Looks better you were right.
Further, if you do make it through the rough parts of your life and push through and find yourself in a situation where you _could_ get a job in some industrious, high-paying field, like hires like, so the reality that many other people of your ethnicity DO have those privileges allows you to take advantage of them, too because "oh hey, I was interviewing that guy and we really got along. he's just like me!"

> Does your right to spout hate speech about my religion infringe on my right to freely and safely practice my religion?

Does your right to criticize my religion infringe on my right to freely and safely practice my religion? No. Even if the criticism is harsh, even hateful. I find this a particularly curious example, because there's a long history of criticism of religion, from Nietzsche to Dawkins, much of it harsh, even hateful. I'm not aware of any countries that ban these writers, though apparently Dawkins got cancelled for also applying his criticism to islam. And what if your religion itself entails beliefs that makes other people, such as women or homosexuals, fear for their rights? Then they are not allowed to hate on your religion, because that makes you fear for your freedom of religion?

> "Stripe is now charging 0.5% more for recurring charges", which apparently is misleading...

Stripe is indeed stating they'll start charging me 0.5% more for a service they said would be free for me when I signed up. They've done this by renaming the service from subscriptions to billing and adding features to it that I've never used. According to others in this thread, the message they sent out two years ago was:

> "Your account has been upgraded to Stripe Billing for free. No matter how much revenue you process on Stripe, you’ll get unlimited use of Billing’s Starter plan included in the price you currently pay for payments. All new features are available in your account now, no API version upgrade necessary."

This is what I remember as well.

I'd say a good title would be, "YC-funded Stripe moves Subscription customers to Billing, increases their fees and breaks earlier promises". The original title isn't as nuanced but is still more accurate than the current one, IMO.
This is specifically for older adults, not a general result.

Still seems promising, though.
"and delivery will all suffer if you don't have the right fundamental design skills"

Some people will never get them. And maybe do not have to, if they are not involved in the complex design process(too much), but rather the implementation and testing of well defined small modules.

So I believe it is very important to let people do, what their talents are.

America has never been a democracy.
It amazes me that people think we are smarter now, than we were then. We are just surrounded with technology.
The way these things are taught in history class is pretty weird, and goes a long way toward explaining this. The Connecticut Compromise is a great example. You're taught that the large states wanted representation in proportion to population, and the small states wanted states to be represented identically (regardless of population), for obvious reasons. So, they decided to split the difference, making one house proportional and the other population-independent. While they did this because it was the only thing they could get agreement on, it was also the greatest civic invention since democracy itself... by coincidence, I guess?

Yeah, it's pretty weird.
A few comments:

1. Based on your flu data, those deaths are for 11 million symptomatic flu cases, vs maybe 1 million Covid-19 cases in May. And that doesn't include asymptomatic flu cases (less often but still happen).

2. The numbers you're showing for Covid-19 deaths are just for NY. The flu ones were at US level.

We'll have to wait and see but I don't see why the flu would be deadlier than Covid-19, for any age group.
