I share these curiosities and agree with the sentiment that something that requires skill to de-risk should not simply have its perception of risk lowered but actually educate. This is likely a contrarian view, but there is a benefit in novices losing non-trivial amounts of money so that they learn risk avoidance and develop a respect for expertise & experience. It's no different from how children learn from mistakes and the risk is proportional to the learning experience.
That's just rap (and other pop music). I feel like a "product placement" vs a "product reference" is a key distinction. Rappers reference Cash App because of what it represents, not because they're being paid to endorse it.

Like when YG Nipsey dropped "FDT "it wasn't a campaign ad, and Smith and Wesson wasn't funding "Nickname" by Qadir. Way different from Coke paying to have a bottle on the table during Modern Family or whatever.

we should increase the upload speed, but 100Mbs is overkill. I had gigabit fiber for 3 years before I realized I never went anywhere near that. I switched to 100/100 now and no one even noticed, that's with the whole family working/schooling from home. I'm pretty sure 50/50 would be fine.

The biggest issues are data caps and upload speeds.
The paper has no perspective on electric energy consumption of other activities, there are many more with similar or bigger consumption (ad industry, MIC, etc.) and still advocates regulating specifically cryptocurrencies. The window of opportunity, attention span and resource for effective regulating economic activity is limited. We should focus on the (few!) important polluting classes such as transport and power production, not hundreds of minor consumer classes such as cryptocurrencies or aluminum producers. Focusing on minor issue, cherry-picking contorted arguments and advocating targeted policy is not how respectable scientific paper should look like.
This will never happen because the people who would pay the most to avoid targeted ad tracking are the ones who are the most valuable to advertisers (essentially, people able and willing to spend money). So when you see Facebook making $20 per user or whatever and think “I’d pay $20 to avoid being tracked,” it’s actually Facebook making nothing from a ton of users, a little from a bunch of them, and a huge amount from their “whales,” and the people willing to pay to avoid being tracked are most likely in the “whales.”

We should not assume that the appearances of experience is proof of well... anything, and especially not of existence of experience. The classic example of where I think people f*** this up is with unironically accepting "Cogito Ergo Sum" or "I think, therefor I am". I'm surprised that blade runner didn't give folks intuition for why this might be wrong.

Funny enough though, many people have tried to boil down consciousness to be some "simple" concept like the original author with "consciousness is just a feeling". I'm reminded of when Sartre writes all about it in Being and Nothingness: "All of consciousness is consciousness of something"
If you live anywhere with cheap cost of living you can have a pretty chill lifestyle and raise kids. If you want to live in a tournament zip code you have to live a tournament lifestyle. The US is a gigantic country that is mostly empty.
> Saying that "consciousness is just a feeling" is equivalent to saying that "consciousness is just consciousness". It may sound like and explanation, but it is just a tautology.

I think you hit the nail in the head with that. Consciousness might very well just be a tautology, so the only definitions we are going to be able to produce are going to be circular or recursive.

However, this is a problem with written language in general. The definition of any word is only provided in the form of other words, which themselves are defined by words as well, so without an interpreter/reader that makes a connection from language to something else, language by itself can’t really have any meaning.
I wouldn't get to hung up on GDScript. It works well and is well integrated into Godot. If you already have experience programming it will be easy to pick up. Where Godot shines is the ability to create something without a lot of code. This is a good thing because IMO the real time suck is creating assets.

Well, I suppose it depends on whether you're comfortable with "I can't afford this, therefore it's okay for me to copy it." The rest of my original comment -- about how the kinds of people who pirate Altium and other stratospherically expensive, highly niche software are highly unlikely to actually represent lost sales -- might apply in your case.

For me personally, if I was actually going to be using niche software like that to make things I was going to sell, I would not be comfortable doing it with pirated commercial software for both ethical and legal reasons, and I would look for adequate cheaper alternatives, only moving up to Altium when and if my sales justified it. This is why I don't actually own or use any Adobe software anymore -- it's less niche, to be sure, but I wouldn't use Photoshop and InDesign nearly enough to justify the price of Adobe Creative Suite. And, again, personally, I don't feel like "but I'd use them occasionally and I wanna use the big boys' toys" justifies me pirating Adobe's software rather than finding much cheaper alternatives that I still like.

>The program isn't doing anything because it's just a bunch of symbols. You need something to "animate" the program, but that something need not comprehend the symbols it is given (hence the whole idea of an effective method).

But the symbols aren't the interesting piece of a sequence of computation, but rather the structure being instantiated. There is a map/territory ambiguity here. The symbols are just placeholders into an abstract structure that describes the dynamics of some system. When the structure is reified, i.e. made actual by being implemented in a system, then it is the structure that has causal efficacy in the world and it is that which we interact with. Dismissing the idea of an implemented program understanding Chinese because "the program doesn't understand the symbols" is confusing the map for the territory.

>Searle goes further when he describes computation as observer relative, and I would extend this to programs.

I totally disagree. If I have a program that inverts an arbitrary matrix, this is not a function I project onto the program. This function is intrinsic to the sequence of operations it carries out. An intelligent alien studying the operation of the program would be able to figure out its function given enough time and effort.

>The program lacks this semantic component and merely performs what amounts to a syntactic translation of the input signs into output signs. This process is entirely stripped of any semantic element.

The CPU is performing syntactic translation, but the structure being implemented is an existing thing beyond CPU operations. And this is the misdirection in the Chinese room argument. To ask if the man understands Chinese is just to ask the wrong question.

In much the same way that much of 2020's progress was actually started from the 20th century, much of e.g. the year 2060's progress will be stuff actually started from 2020. We likely systemically underestimate the use of today's discoveries simply since the big stuff mostly isn't useful yet.

Why is it that we need to constantly go here with accusations of ignorance? Do we really need to do that all the time? Somehow philosophy contains everything, all the time. You're ignorant! No you're ignorant! My thing contains your thing! No, my thing contains your thing!

Read my comment again. Why do some philosophical problems get turned over and over for centuries with no progress and yet the empiricism of Science has absolutely revolutionized human life? Why should we be so afraid of some neuroscientist who hasn't read Searle? I mean, isn't he going to just stumble on it again? If it's true, then they would, right?

> wish we could live in a society where people would not have to work themselves to death and were able to... you know... enjoy life

While I do agree, this is where I draw a distinction between "job" and "career." A job is something you do to make money. A career is an end in itself. Balancing a career and parenthood is incredibly hard because they're both large time commitments. Despite what the 90's told women (though this applies equally to men), you can't have it all, and you have to decide what's important to you.
It’s important because the Fed is interested in the NAIRU - non-accelerating-inflation rate of employment.

Below a certain level of unemployment, the NAIRU models expect wage inflation (companies offering higher and higher wages to get new employees in a tight labor market) which drives inflation in the broader economy. This model kind of assumes that the labor force is inelastic. In reality if unemployment were low, a lot of “unemployable” or underemployed people would probably start looking for jobs, which makes it so current unemployment rates don’t accurately reflect how close we are to NAIRU.

Or get a husband that takes care of the kids. The woman will of course have carry the children in her womb, which will be some tough months. But after that the husband can do almost everything. If she feels that it is important to feed the baby breast milk the first months, excellent pumps can be bought.

This is a much better option than waiting until it almost is to late.

I think this is a great idea, the biggest trend in global investing is ESG, with all the largest fund managers moving that direction, in part driven by client demand but also in recognition that they don't want to be laggards to the cultural shift and the inevitable regulatory interventions that are coming down the pipe; everyone expected ESMA to lead the way here but it's telling that the SEC also published a letter of intent. So I see this app as filling a real need as well as anticipating one of the mega trends that appears to be set to play out over the next 5-7 years. I've worked in fintech for 15 years, and built and sold a couple of companies in this space, happy to offer any advice that might be useful but it seems to me you've got a great idea that's well positioned.

Imagine the sad state of affairs if they didn't have government programs for these same problems with electricity and phone lines in the 30's through the 60's. Not just in relatively dense city areas, but even rural areas.

There were plenty of things wrong with Ma Bell, but having short-term profit rule all else is just one more systemic issue that keeps poor areas poor.

Sadly, I doubt this will ever get better; the system is too entrenched, and can protect it's interests better than any other human system in the past, making it nigh-impossible to topple.

I think Square organizes around how people gather and transact, and focus on the under-banked. They have good data to inform where that happens, in what quantities, and when. Clearly food places, craft fairs, and music festivals have been crucial marketplaces for them, and now they are establishing themselves as a promotional platform to those markets. They now have a lot of surfaces to do so, and will probably always now be after more ad inventory.

They are positioned to own not only how people transact in person, but who will be doing those transactions, where, and when.

Imagine they roll out a data product to their merchants that shows an Uber Hot-Spots style dataset of sales, demand, and trends in both merchandise and the wild psychographics you can learn from a music service.

Not an authoritative source just a fyi, the forksoverknives [0] (informative film if you've not seen it) site:

- Whole foods describes natural foods that are not heavily processed. That means whole, unrefined, or minimally refined ingredients.
- Plant-based means food that comes from plants and doesn’t include animal ingredients such as meat, milk, eggs, or honey.

I've mostly seen the term 'plant-based' to differentiate between stuff you probably shouldn't be eating (all vegrtarian: french-fries, potato-chips, oreos, beyond meat (heavily processed [1]), non meat pizza with real-milk cheese) to stuff you should be eating: fresh-fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts etc.

i.e. if what your eating tastes REALLY good, made by a robot, comes out of a box with lots of fat/oil, salt, sugar, then it's mostly likely not in the range of plant-based diet (AFAIK). Technically ketchup is a vegetable [2]! :)

Note: I'm not criticizing you for eating any of this, that's your choice, I think that a lot of evil corps are probably mis-labeling these products as pseudo healthy (and maybe they are compared to the original versions), but whether one should be inserting them into your body is subject to opinion.

Your fertility drops exponentially after age 35, and the risks for both the mother and child significantly increase. And since it takes ~2 years to make a baby, ideally you should start having kids no later than 35 - 2k, where k is the number of kids you want. And you probably want at least one extra year in case anything goes wrong, which it often does.

IVF and egg freezing, while useful tools, don't really magically change this formula in any meaningful way.
