Consider Newton. He pursued physical theories, alchemy and theological studies with similar amount scholarship and zest. His physical theories obtained popularity due to its utility. And his theological and alchemical studies didn't give the world any material benefits and so the world calls those areas of his output "random speculations". But at the core of all these three attempts is a probing, speculative mind. That is my definition of philosophy, that there is an intensely curious mind, which will pour forth effort in understanding the world (including oneself). Newton's subject area was called "Natural Philosophy" for nothing. There are less "successful" philosophers and streams of philosophy, of course.

So I agree with your main point that free will is an illusion like many others Sam Harris outlines this point well.

However your last paragraph that because people are "addicted to the belief that they are in control of their lives we can't have nice things" implies that they have control over what they are addicted to and that your post is somehow information that will help to change this.

Neither of those implications can be true if your initial premise is true

If people are interested, the story is “The Feeling of Power” [0]. I remember reading this as a child and feeling a profound feeling of sadness. Now I tell myself I’m older and more cynical, but being reminded of it brought a rush of those feelings back... human memory is a strange thing.

Does Twitter allow it because "most" of society believes it to be true... or does "most" of our perception of society believe it because Twitter allows it?

True or not, we mustn't let a potentially minority-held opinion overtake the public sphere because the next generation will most certainly believe it because that's all they'll know. That is why absolute free debate is crucial and feelings should have no part in it.

We're remote and have a one hour meeting every three weeks; because we believe it's important to have a high bandwidth conversation to make sure we're all on the same page.

Beyond that, we communicate mostly on GitHub issues, Slack (for realtime issues, goofing off, etc), and P2 for designing things that need more threading/nuance.

We're so distributed (literally around the world) that our one hour meeting is guaranteed to inconvenience someone. When it's my turn, our meeting is at 11pm local time. I usually join with a beer. This meeting is usually a retrospective and just going through what issues we're planning to prioritize for the next few weeks.

Submarine, aircraft, and icebreaker reactors usually operate on military-grade fission materials. You don't want those to be exported all over the world. And a bigger reason is that they simply can not compete with bigger plants. 1 GW class nuclear reactors generate much cheaper electricity even after factoring in their huge CAPEX. There is one example of using a small nuclear ship-scale reactor for civilian power generation in Russia [0], but I would say it's a very edge scenario, not applicable to the most of the world.

The problem is that carnivore fishes are tasty, and vegetarian fishes... not so much. You can't just replace all their food by plant stuff and expect a good growth. 5-10% of soy, maybe, I' don't remember the exact value, but > 50%... No way.

Fishes get ill and growth is stunted. It promotes cannibalism also. Premium fish food for aquaculture is expensive.

I think making an addicting product and getting people hooked on it is another topic all together. Smoking is something you should be able to do, and not to do. If you are unable to move about without inhaling smoke that is injected into the scene by someone else it’s an active scenario. Getting sick is part of life, viruses and bacteria don’t have morals. You shouldn’t smoke around people who don’t want to smell it just like you shouldn’t set someone’s yard on fire. But literally controlling the movement and assembly of people because of microscopic organisms that have existed for millennia? That’s totally absurd and wholly different than intentionally burning chemical laden plant material around others.

Oh yeah, buying into a cult whose entire appeal is convincing selfish people they can stop feeling bad about it, you're very very developed.

Government legal and enforcement efforts to promote a currency are neither sufficient or necessary for a currency to have value.

The value of a currency comes from its usefulness for transactions. Many ingredients come into play there, but the big one is wide acceptance.

Government efforts are a (for good or ill) common coercive and often successful tactic to create the conditions of wide acceptance.

But such efforts can fail and any other conditions that create wide acceptance are just as valid.
Let's say doubling your holidays means roughly 10% reduction in work time. If a fully dedicated 37.5 h person creates one job per year, could you estimate how many jobs creates a) fully dedicated 41 h person b) fully dedicated 34 h person?

Of course, people are different and this is just an anecdote, but from my personal experience (a couple of instances) I can push myself to "fully dedicate" more than 4 hours a day of mentally really hard work - for some months. After that I tell politely that sorry, it is time for me to do something else for a while. More often than not, I have been welcomed back later. Of course, those have been exceptional circumstances, typically there is no need to fully dedicate more than 4 hours of mentally really hard work, but there is some less demanding aspects of the job taking some time off.
So, we can seem how Twitter's censoring works now, start at a word that's only associated with Memphis, then draw gradually closer. Alternative spellings, alternative utf-8 lookalikes, alternative characters (leet speak, etc.).

Most hilarious one related to the 13yo boobytrap was that they lock you out if your date of registration predates your 13th birthday, regardless of how long ago it was.

Like, if you were younger than 13 at some point, and you didn’t prove yourself that you’re no longer 13, it can’t be ruled out that you potentially haven’t aged since, by Twitter logic.

Seen through survivorship bias it’s obvious that you may never set DoB for any of your accounts, but ... I guess Twitter is kind of weird one from what SNS is generally understood to be.
It does not. The US has far more guns. But Canada has significantly more guns than other similar western democracies. And, in fact, Canada has an intermediate level of gun violence between the extremes of the US wild west and totalitarian Europe!

It's almost like, as I said above, the clearly obvious determining factor in gun violence is the simple number of weapons. That this obvious hypothesis is simply disbelieved by large numbers of HN posters (many of whom like to call themselves "rationalists") continues to astound me.
So I've been binging Stargate lately while working on other stuff, and a common trope they'll fall back on is being trapped on a derelict starship designed by a dead ancient race where the two goals of survival and preservation of the starship's status quo need to strike an appropriate balance. This is because so much of that starship the characters don't have a great grasp on. There's so much lurking in it that they both currently depend on for survival and don't realize, and it contains knowledge and insights that'll help us improve the status quo in the future if we don't destroy it. Yes, survival is always goal one, but massive compromises need to be made for preservation and balancing them is key.

I think the metaphor works pretty well for Starship Earth too.

I don't think network transparency is a goal for Wayland. X11 network transparency was awesome in the late 80s and early 90s. In many universities, there would be rooms of X11 terminals that connected to the "big machines" in the server rooms- and you could have each of your applications, even even the window manager itself, all being run on different machines.

This made sense when an institution would license software for their big iron, and when desktop computers weren't nearly as powerful as they eventually became during the 90s.

But most people gave up on it right around the time that Netscape Navigator, with its very bitmap-heavy UI gained traction. The X protocol really wasn't designed around this. Extensions helped, but not enough.

I bet the vast majority of people using X11 today have never run a remote X11 client.
It's called peer review ;-)

You know, I have to wonder though.

I've been ok with the tesla-only superchargers, because they are good. But it is a self-serving infrastructure and a competitive advantage.

I wonder what the reality would be about sending up bezos's satellites? It could also be a PR problem, PLUS it would undermine the bezos employees working on their launch platform.
Yeah the whole thing doesn't make sense unless if you already are looking for that kind of message in the first place, which I doubt little children has the ability nor the will to do so.

It’s easier to kill civilians and blame it on a bug than to admit that someone ordered the attack.
Perhaps they could make some allowances like they did with the vaccine approval method. Wasn’t the fastest vaccine ever previously a 4+ year endeavor with animal testing?

> We built lots of what makes Earth habitable. Try removing your clothes, housing, heating, etc. and see how long you survive.

Even a totally unprepared person can survive for many hours with none of these things in most places on earth. If you happen to be near a source of fresh water in a not-too-cold climate you can survive for days, and if there's a natural food source nearby you can survive indefinitely. That is crucial because it means you have a lot longer to build the things you need in order to improve your odds in more hostile environments, and a lot more margin for error when things don't go quite right.

By way of very stark contrast, a human without a space suit will survive for at most a few seconds on Mars. That doesn't leave nearly as much margin for error.

So yes, engineering our environment is integral to our survival even here on earth. Nonetheless, earth and Mars are in on way comparable as a consequence of this.
Random thought of mine was companies use AI to moderate. But potentially malefactors can train the AI to flag harmless stuff. And because of the opaque nature of neural networks there isn't good mechanism to undo it, except by reverting.
Sorry, but the convention is the opposite here, and I've switched from "passed away" to "has died" now.

Generally we try to avoid euphemisms in HN titles. I understand that tastes and conventions vary widely, though, especially with such an international community. It's impossible to work the same way, or to work well, for everyone.

I think this view of hoarding is wrong. Here is how I think about it:

You get money as compensation for goods or services you provide to other people. The money is a sort of "IOU note" from the rest of society.

If you never spend the money, you've chosen to never cash in the debt. You're essentially gifting that money to the world.

There are a lot of complex and dynamic systems at work in the economy, and it's easy to make good sounding arguments for and against anything. I find it helpful to think of the fundamentals.

>> My biggest issue with DIY boards is drilling the holes and in particular getting the bit in the center of the pad.

Get a small drilling stand that can let you mount the PCB in a vise.

Now, I would still use pre-drilled prototyping board. Drilling all those holes is just such a hassle. I want to focus on designing circuits and boards, not drilling them.

I drill rarely, when the component must be mounted directly to the prototyping board but does not conform to standard 2.54mm pitch or will not fit the premade holes.
In order to have rigorous training and licensing requirements for ownership, you have to have more government control and intervention, and potentially yet another id/card system. That's a non-starter for most people in States that care more about individual rights and privacy.

The far better solution is to have a firearms safety and target practice course as part of compulsory schooling. Use laser-dry-fire equipped, color-coded handguns and you can avoid any live fire/ammo anywhere.

Live ammo and live fire aren't necessary to learn safe handling. The instructors would still be correcting any students who handle their laser guns unsafely. And the lasers in those laser guns or snap caps aren't powerful enough to be a huge safety risk. The laserlyte snap cap ones appear to be 5 mW. Not perfectly safe, but unlikely to do significant damage without intentionally staring up the beam.
Not OP, but I feel similar way - these lessons can be learned here on earth(colony on the bottom of the ocean?) Or simply on the moon, without going all the way to mars. It looks like due to radiation anyone living in mars would have to live underground anyway, so what's the difference between that and a habitat on the moon? Except for the moon being infinitely easier to get to and back.
Ironically many countries are considering underground storage of CO2 to combat climate change.
That’s just asking users to moderate themselves.
> I would suggest looking up what the Dutch did in relation to race equality in history and how we were involved in a lot of slave trade, sometimes even to the US.

I am aware of the history, but that's not enough to give the words themselves emotional charge and significance. The reason this is so for Americans is that the consequences of slavery and racial segregation are keenly felt right now - it's not just an abstract wrong committed on people long ago and far away. As a point of comparison, I'm from Eastern Europe, and the word "slave" is derived from "Slav" - but this is effectively ancient history with little bearing on the present, and so the word doesn't carry any emotional charge or special meaning.

To put things differently, is there a segment of the Dutch populace for whom the words "master" and "slave" signify that kind of viscerally felt injustice, as they do for black people in the US? This isn't a gotcha question, I genuinely don't know, and these kinds can be arbitrary and irrational. For Poles, "slavery" is abstract, but "forced labor" brings up some major traumas from around World War 2, for example.

Science is not the ultimate arbiter. There is no arbiter, foundational science rests on axiomatic assumptions and even with these assumptions in place it is not possible to prove a any statement to be true within the framework of science. Disproof is even technically not possible due to limited accuracy of our observational tools.

You have a limited fuzzy understanding of science and I believe it is interfering with how you interpret the fusion of philosophy and science how it generates category errors.
