Sure, once we've won the War on Terror, you'll be able to get on a plane without taking your shoes off again and we'll shut down the NSA program to spy on everyone. Once we end the scourge of drugs, we'll restore your 4th amendment rights and end civil forfeiture. The people who take your away your rights to bolster their own political power have always been very conscientious about giving them back later.
Or you could argue that as long as no one is getting hurt what is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ for other people is none of your business.

I appreciate that. I am not sure where I stand on this anymore. I agree that they are private corporations with rights. But they are also unprecedented in history in terms of scale, wealth and power. And they just silenced a president and shutdown a competitor. Those are some implications that need to be considered carefully.

I appreciate the reply. Here in the UK I look on with a mixture of sorrow and fear.

I just want deescalation. I want calm heads and kind hearts to prevail. We need to listen to ourselves less and each other more. Stay safe, America — every last one of you.

I’m no scientist, but the above really resonated with me.
To be fair they wanted to do that because they saw Trump as a would-be dictator unwilling to leave power peacefully and deadest on using the government to punish his enemies and line his own pockets. They did THAT to avoid THIS. Being right about the reasons why you are doing things is actually important.

Also, there are plenty of reasons it might not be happening as badly elsewhere as it is happening specifically on Steam. Microsoft (and Microsoft Research) has made it very clear in recent papers that distributed password spray (where the spray is spread out over large numbers of IP addresses/countries/etc) is the number 1 issue right now in passwords, and that detection and blocking are crucial. Steam has argued in the past that such things are impossible to do at their scale. (Microsoft would argue today that their scale in Office 365/Azure AD/Microsoft Accounts has easily now dwarfed Steam's scale.) There's enough evidence today (as I already mentioned) that Steam still doesn't have those detections/blocking in place (and are relying too much on Steam Guard/2FA to keep accounts safe). (Not to get too deep into the woods of Steam criticism, but the argument may not be that it is impossible at scale but that it is impossible to prioritize it within Valve's notorious management culture.)
You should check out mosh.
Do you think that we should stop people from speculating or entertaining these possibilities/scenarios? I wonder why we are so quick to silence and shut down people. It might not even be very long until we're the ones who are designated as crazies discussing similar things and end up being silenced as well even when we might be very justified (think of Hitler being in power. It would be morally righteous to be discussing such things and then planning to bring him and his people down). Thought crime should never be a thing. If people discussing something amongst themsleves leads to some people being radicalized and they do something bad, all we can do is be prepared for it. And trust me when I say that people like Soros and Pelosi have plenty of the means to defend themselves.

I do agree it is a big limitation, and I am looking for alternatives as Ubiquiti do not seem to be prioritizing getting their app to work without remote login which is truly unfortunate, since the predecessor, UniFi Video, supported this.
Purpose of UUID is to be unique, not random. There is no need to wrap RDRAND into another random generator. One can use time/counter as one part of UUID and kernel provided PRNG, e. g. getrandom(2) for another part.
Yeah, my ISP uses it. It does come with some of the downsides the previous poster mentioned: the inability to make myself reachable from $the_world can be annoying, and I get a captcha on Google every time because of "unusual traffic" (I mostly use DDG, but sometimes fall back to it). Also, ACM blocked me at some point because "my IP is infiltrated by SciHub" (their words).

In the end, it's an imperfect solution for a real problem that mostly works well enough.

Yes, I recommend MikroTik as well. Got two of their cAP wireless access points. All the features you would expect on enterprise level kit at 1/4 the price easily.

Because there are so many features the setup is not as easy as some alternatives I'm sure. But the value proposition is great.

Their "RouterOS" is standardised over pretty much all of their kit. So after you have worked it out once you should be set for anything else.

My problem is with the description of that action as a "coup". I'm not defending those people. I'm not informed well enough to do that. But a coup? I don't think so.

Coups generally rely on military support, or some sort of established basis for taking and holding political power. This was not a coup. Or it was the shittest one ever.
You realize trans people are going to go extinct right?

It should be clear as day to anyone with even a passing interest in biology. Once we've identified exactly what genes influence transgenderism, and genetic editing of our embryos is commonplace for the populace, no one is going to allow their children to be born with a predilection for being transgender. You'd be literally putting your child at an enormous disadvantage for no discernable reason.

Look how long its taken for gay people to be accepted by society. Not decades, but centuries. Transgender people don't have that long. In a century, we'll be editing genetically superior superbabies. No parents in their right mind would give their children such a tremendous disadvantage in life when they could make them "normal". I suspect gay people will probably go extinct too, but one never knows with 100% certainty how these things play out.

I suspect a great many classes of people / traits will go extinct. Down's Syndrome babies will certainly be screened out of the population, because again... in a society of beautiful 200 IQ super athletes, why would you deliberately hinder your child?

it can but this is "late" capitalism, we are at a point where capital that updated every year was outcompeted by capital that updated every quarter, which was outcompeted by capital that updated every month, and so on. Each time this happened there were efficiency gains that required everyone to keep up or go out of business, and the efficiency gains resulted in surpluses that were allocated somewhere in the economy. If we turned back the clock then these businesses would become less efficient and we would have to sink more resources into them to continue the same output.

Iterative optimization resulted in smaller and smaller (and more frequent) corrections.

Is this the case just because it's common for these arguments to be structured as contradiction proofs?

Since contradiction proofs are arguments that operate in connection with the structure of proofs in general rather than exclusively in terms of the specific problem, then the entire argument may collapse on a technicality like "very large" vs "infinite". It's almost like the truth status of the argument is sharply discontinuous: you can't modulate the argument slightly and arrive at sensibly related assertions.

Whereas if the argument were made solely in terms of the problem itself (without the added meta-layer argument from the contradiction proof), but still used the halting problem, then we might consider the fact that in reality our computers have finite state so are technically exempt, but the argument still holds for all intents and purposes because of how large the finite state is.

Or is there another reason these arguments are generally bogus?

Aaron Swartz @aaronsw died by suicide eight years ago. He represents a kind of left-libertarian current that's lost among present technologists —our generation centers the debate on regulating the internet or, most radically, democratizing platforms.

After @aaronsw attempted to communize academic intellectual property, the state destroyed Aaron, while Bush administration officials, Wall Street, and British Petroleum executives walked with impunity.

And therefore, some have pointed out that, despite both MIT and JSTOR not wishing to press charges, the state slamming @aaronsw with 35 years in jail and $1M in fines was a prosecutorial overreach and a grotesque miscarriage of justice.

No,@aaronsw committed a transgression intolerable in capitalist society. The state brutalized him not on the basis of legal injustice but because what he did struck at the heart of our society and property relations. What he did was like the digital version of burning down Target

In a framework that is animated by capital, the state did the right thing: you can't just let people like @aaronsw vandalize and loot intellectual property. You have to go after him. If you don't, then there's nothing worth prosecuting.
What I feel is the missing piece that would tie a truly decentralized social network is a decentralized identity management system. I am ordinarily a massive blockchain skeptic, but it could possibly be usable here. It should be possible to create features like user creation, changing passwords, data querying using sone kind of blockchain that is not in control of a single entity. I feel such a service would be useful and can be made now, but I also feel like it would be quite hard to use as well.

Think of something like Amazon Cognito or Okta, but decentralized and transparent.
Now this is cyberpunk.
I agree with what you are saying in your original comment, to a point.

For consoles such the PS4, the game wasn’t just glitchy, it was unplayable. You couldn’t complete the main storyline if you so desired.

I also agree with you that there were insane expectations - however Vice City had a better AI than this and it was self damage - but they released a game for current gen consoles, charged people for it, and it turned out the game was unplayable. That is a big issue.
Banking, healthcare, education are considered public goods by some.
It’s not coordination if multiple companies actually agree on reality. I would think it would be worse if some companies said this were fine and other didn’t - THAT would imply that someone was being treated unfairly maybe. This is just a unanimous jury, that’s all. I think it’s rather silly to say that if, for example, someone goes on tv and says they’re planning on building nuclear bombs in their closet, you believe Apple can’t suspend them until they say that exact same thing on their platform. If you are a violent threat in the real world, then you also are on all the platforms whether you reveal that there or not.
thats a fair frustration. i hadn't seen your comment in the other thread. in retrospect i was making an undue generalization based on "golden ratio" + "unknown universal constant". there's a lot of naively-platonist woo around this particular juxtaposition. apologies if that's not where you were going.
To social conservatives? The swiftness of things like LGBT gaining moral acceptance. The attack on pronouns, cancel culture that attempts to ruin lives if you have ever done anything in the past that by ever-changing current woke standards is offensive.

To be clear on my stance, I'm left and I am pleased overall with the social changes and tolerance being pushed.

Socially conservative people have always existed, and would typically be wary of changes in the world order/society no matter what. Our society on this planet has changed at a much quicker rate than average. Then throw in social media, which allows amplification of the extremes, and things really can feel off the rails.

Speech is not gasoline, and ignoring the fact that "shouting fire in a crowded theatre" is not the correct quote (it's falsely shouting it, and I only know one case of it happening[1]), you've placed the cause of this on algorithmic ranking as much as speech itself.

its highly counterintuitive to see the modern system in the same terms as the capital markets of last millennium. and I'm convinced the system isn't perfect, I'm sure there are things that should be changed. I'm merely suggesting that the market sped up as people learned to do market stuff faster, and that market stuff is ultimately a process of allocating capital resources.

Hi HN,

Meet Zorbi - an efficient study tool made for busy people.

The inspiration for this tool came from the fact I exclusively used Anki when I got AWS certified myself. I passed my exam with 92% while also sitting four other university exams.

During that time, I realised that existing study tools and exam prep websites were using inferior learning techniques, and that's why Zorbi was born.

We have a lot of stuff on our roadmap now including:

- Study Schedule Generation (do a quick knowledge quiz and tell us your exam date, we'll tell you what to study and when to study)

- More question formats (MCQ, short answer)

- Analytics

- The ability to buy study kits directly from a marketplace (e.g. get Azure certified, Learn the most common chess openings, Learn basic Japanese)

- Integrations with Notion and Chrome

- Lots of stuff in the works to mitigate the demotivating factors that tools like Anki have :)

Our mission is to build a full-featured study tool that people ACTUALLY want to use (Combining the power of Anki with the simplicity and flexibility of Notion)

Let me know if you're pursuing an AWS certificate - happy to help in any way possible.
> Meditating on Stoic mantras helps you accept our inability to control the world, and therefore the pointlessness of taking a world view in the first place. Instead, Stoicism encourages you to focus on maximizing the good within yourself, as that is all that is within your control.

The only thing that Stoicism decries as pointless is lamenting or lauding the actual outcomes of your actions or those of others. It is not the belief that all of life is meaningless, or that "world views" are pointless. It is kin to neither Nihilism nor Hedonism.

"Maximizing the good within yourself" does involve considering what outcomes you believe your actions will yield. Stoicism begs that you understand the distinction between predicted outcomes and actual outcomes, and detach yourself emotionally from the latter.

One of my friends made this argument. He was working in ad tech.
Essentially in MWI each neutron in each universe is a point (actually three because of the quarks), but that point is not in the same place in all universes.

Note that MWI as originally formulated by Everett does not work this way. Eg quoting from the Discussion section of his thesis:

> [I]t seems to us to be much easier to understand particle aspects from a wave picture (concentrated wave packets) than it is to understand wave aspects (diffraction, interference, etc.) from a particle picture.

or

> This view [ie Everett's view, as described in the thesis] also corresponds most closely with that held by Schrödinger.

The main point of MWI is not to go back to a more classical picture of point particles, but to remove wave-function collapse and Heisenberg cut from the description.
I'm with you, here.

I'm not convinced that downplaying facts just to make a headline read more friendly to a group that quite literally threatened to kill politicians is what I would call journalistic integrity. Sometimes the headlines are alarmist because something alarming happened and we saw it coming on the internet from months away.
