Logic unfortunately tends to fail in the real world. Even seemingly concrete ideas like life and death get tricky when dealing with frozen sperm and viruses. Edge cases abound https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_(genetics) People really want stuff like Bayesian statistics to work. But it’s also fails for similar reasons as it depends on accurately updating a model.

The world is filled with models that are simple enough to use and accurate enough to be useful, sadly that doesn’t make them correct.

Censorship seems so simple on the surface, but like everything else the implementation rarely matches the theory. I would argue for disclaimers as a much better option, even if they also fail.

Tesla at least managed to release an infotainment system with a user experience you'd expect from modern smartphones, something many other car manufacturers still struggle with to this day (the navigation UI lagging is a standard example, even though we've had the processing power to make these smooth for over a decade).

This may depend on personality and group dynamics. If leader is so-and-so, expect the followers to mimick those traits. Everything else being neutral however, people adhere to their personalities. They're often rather stuck with that, contrary to advertisements. Externally-induced transformations are bogus claims, as life itself is transformation. One may be guided along a known path though, however, every traveller is distinct and unique.

Finally you're totally missing a beat here -- MySpace lived and died by its community of indie bands. Ditch that dodgy mainstream iTunes Music wrapper and make the actual music function work again.

You're asking about the interpretation of a statement such as "I assign the same probability to events A and B"?

The speed of light is a huge limiting factor on modern processors.

https://arstechnica.com/science/2014/08/are-processors-pushi...

Light travels about a foot in 1 nanosecond so moving RAM from a foot away to touching the CPU saves 2 ns in round-trip latency. That's a big win on modern systems.

In reality it's a bigger effect since electric signals travel slower than light. And the effect is yet bigger because off-package memory must be accessed through buses with several levels of synchronization and buffer and gate delays.

Apple gets away with "unified memory" in the M1 because having the memory on-package means a good deal of the bus and sync and contention logic becomes unnecessary. So everything that touches RAM gets a lot faster. And almost everything touches RAM.

It’s Not Science Fiction
Thank you, I think this link clarifies the points you are making elsewhere in the thread and I understand your perspective much better now.
Sadly you missed the golden era for the Mac. Back in the PowerPC days there were lots of developers making fun and useful tweaks and there was a fair amount of configurability built in. It really was a professional's Unix OS back then. Over the past decade or so I've watched the possibilities narrow with every passing version.
> There are indeed theories about a secret organisation plotting to take over the world, and if we were rigourous that's the only time we should be talking about "conspiracy theory".

No, not really.

There is a constant stream of idiotic and entirely baseless and outright irrational conspiracy theories popping up all the time, which is proportional to the amount of stupidity and ignorance in the universe.

Take for example the ridiculous conspiracy theory of how "the masked singer" is a psyops project designed to manipulate people into accepting mask usage. No one in their right mind would be pushing that gem of idiocy. But here we are, with lunatics selling that off as true.

> (...) It's a concept that prevents you from thinking rather than helps you think better.

It really isn't, and you are not helping your case by trying to shamelessly misrepresent your point and move the goal post.

The key aspect that you are trying to disregard and avoid is the fact that conspiracy theories share a common trait: misrepresent baseless assumptions and unfalsifiable assertions as unquestionable facts, no matter how silly or ridiculous or crazy they are.

That's what separates mere hypothesis or suspicions from the crazy train which are conspiracy theories: how they push baseless allegations and unverifiable brain farts as undisputable facts.

To make matters worse, the loons pushing conspiracy theories use all sort of sociopath tricks to force their conspiracy theories onto others, including but not limited to attacking those who dare point out logic flaws in their craziness.

That's the touchstone test that separates the conspiracy theory loons living in crazy town from those living in reality which recognize the fact that conspiracies do exist: how facts and hypothesis and proof are treated differently.
> The current status of world dominance/power is an evolution of previous iterations (be it good or bad). But we never had a democratic system the CIA is breaking.

True

> The video is presented in a way that if you don't know all of that you will assume the CIA is making the world bad.

Maybe true, but this is an unintended consequence. In no point does the uploader make such a claim or presents evidence to make you think of that. It's only by absence of mentions one can derrive to this false conclusion (that cia is the only such player)

Final thought, although I get your criticism of the uploader, let's say "forgeting" other players as CIA, I would argue they are the biggest and most impactful contemporary agency. Thus, although not the only one, sure the one to be most concerned about. Thus his lack of mentioning other players isn't that of a con to me. My argument is based on what we publicly know of these agencies.
Slashdot only exists for financial gain.
> Tom Holland... argues the separation of church and state can be traced back to the Bible and it been a steady progression to secularism from there

This is basically what's known as survivor bias. I think if you look at history you will find that power shifted to and from faith (and the church) in many waves. But true secularism was not, to my knowledge, seriously suggested for the first thousand years or more of Christian history. In a way this view of theological history suggests that there is a "true meaning" of the Bible that people didn't happen to notice for over a millennium - that the principles of modern society was always there in waiting, waiting for us to understand it. What this Tom Holland might refer to are sayings such as the phrase "Render unto Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and unto God the things that are God's", which does sound like advocating some form of secularism - to modern ears! But of course these verses had many different interpretations over the years.

Personally, I think a much better explanation is that the interpretation of religious texts always happen in a context. Like any text, I don't think it makes sense to claim that there is an interpretation of any religious text that could be called its true meaning, because meaning always arises as a dialogue between the text and its reader, which happens in a certain context, a certain point in material history. You might be able to say that there is the original intention of the authors, but this is not accessible to us. "Render unto Cesar" can perhaps easily be used as an argument for secularism in a Christian context, but I don't believe the phrase can fully explain its inception.

The Bible, like any religious text, contains the blueprint for an infinity of societies. This idea that any part of modern American society, or Hegel's 19th century Prussian society, for that matter, is the natural consequence of what's in the Bible is very strange when you look, both at everything that came before, and also the fact that a very different progression happened in many parts of the Christian world, like Ethiopia or Coptic villages in Egypt. I don't think the theory of "steady progression" holds much water unless you're extremely selective about your facts and perspective.

I think you made your wrong turn when you equated this to the heinous crime of rape.

You are no doubt correct, which is aggravating to me for a long list of reasons.

From the article:

Increasing numbers of English-speaking tourists have made a point of stopping in to snap pictures of themselves by the signpost at the entrance to the village, sometimes striking lascivious poses for social media.

The word is not a sexual word in German. It is in English. This is being forced on the village without their consent and it is leading to sexualized behavior without their consent.

When one man does that to one woman, we define it as rape. When a bunch of tourists do that to a town, we point and laugh and act like the town is overreacting and doesn't have a sense of humor.

Over the years, I have tried to think of another example of something where we make this distinction that if we agree to it, it's a good thing and if we don't then it's a bad thing. Rape vs "making love" is the only one I know where we make that distinction and the legal distinction hinges on the detail of consent.

There was a case where a man and woman were getting divorced and she accused him of rape and there was film of the incident because violent sex was her kink. He was found innocent. Violent sex with consent is kink or BDSM, not rape. Rape is about lack of consent, not about the degree of violence.

Rape is not always as clear cut as people would like to imagine. It's really common for women to feel confused about whether or not what happened to them was really rape, in part because people imagine that rape is some kind of violent assault and not simply the detail of lack of clear consent.

The legal definition of rape hinges on the detail of consent and this town is having a sexualized thing forced upon them without their consent. It's unfortunate that people feel I am somehow "escalating" this to a much more terrible thing than it is rather than seeing my remarks as clarifying part of why this is so extremely objectionable to the townspeople.

Fortunately -in many civilized countries- we have institutionalized and ritualized the act of having a revolution every 4 years.

As with many such rituals, -and as long as everyone sticks to the prescribed acts- this reduces the bloodshed immeasurably. With a little luck, the only victims are dead trees and broken pencils.

At $300 the manufacturer has to make serious trade offs. I’m sure there are models at that price point with great cameras, or 120hz, or 5g, or longer battery life (actual size of the battery is irrelevant, battery life is the important metric). Is there a model with all of those features at $300? I’m not aware of one. Especially performance, since most Android phones can’t beat the 2 year old iPhone XS.

Id even go as far as looking at their acomplishments. If they say they’re superior but have nothing to show then it is possible we’re dealing with some form of narcissism. They may as well have acomplishments and be narcissistic. Narcissists don’t have passions. Some of them are incredibly smart but they learn things/have accomplishments solely for the world to be impressed by them. They do brag a lot. On the other hand really knowledgegable people are quite modest as they truly understand how little they know.
Remember that you're talking about a company that had the problem of a lack of apps/developer attention on their original mobile platform (Windows Phone 7) and decided that the solution was to reset the ecosystem in a backwards-incompatible way... twice. (first with WP8, then with W10).

After that kind of stupidity, I'm not sure anything else would be much of a surprise. It saddens me to say this because Windows Phone could've actually been a great platform and alternative to iOS/Android had idiots not been in charge of it.

It's understandable that you have been misled in this way; enforcing this particular myth seems to be the primary purpose of USA public schools. I recommend historian Gerald Horne. He has identified Somerset v Stewart as an important event in inspiring American slaveholders and their sometime lawyer John Adams to start the Revolutionary War. That is, they fought a war in large part so that they wouldn't have to give up the practice of slavery.

That's not true; as an example: you don't have to understand the nitty-gritty of the theory of relativity to understand that it's used to make GPS work, or to use GPS. The genius is in making the leap to understanding the theory the first time or to imagining the theory. It's the difference between learning calculus and writing the Principia.
They didn't make WSL for the benefit of mankind though, they made it so that Windows would be a better, more competitive product for developers.

If Linux distro vendors want to be more competitive for Windows users then they will have to take the initiative to improve Wine, the same way Microsoft took the initiative to support Linux apps on their own platform. It doesn't make any sense for Microsoft to take both torches and kill their own competitive advantage. They would rather have people use their own platform, Windows, which they clearly believe is the better one.
