On the other hand, when you think about take-home pay for the artists, more people listening, even if paying less for individual streams, can mean more money.

Isn't one of the strengths of the internet the fact that it's easier to scale and reach a wider audience, thus having more money in the end?

Github. There are downsides to centralization, but it's still amazing that you can get a hosted and integrated bundle of version control, bug tracking, CI, patch submission, and Q&A (recent) for free.

That list is made up entirely of logos for Apple products and features, and images of their products. Many of them are trademarks! It'd be hard to think of anything that is more clearly Apple's IP than this.

Google / FedEx can steal your money
So I ordered a Samsung Note Ultra from Google Fi via expedited shipping signature required. When it is supposedly delivered the signature confirmation from Fedex claims it was signed for by 'C.NINETEEN'. Google then proceeds to immediately deny my claim for a refund of the ~$1000. Pretty nice scam these two are running?

Interesting. Basketball is an extremely team integrated sport. 100% of the time is spent playing as a team. Do you find workplace teams to be near that level of integration?

Maybe my thinking comes from not working on particularly integrated teams.
Not that AMD seems to be able to get any cards out the door either.
I mean Wikipedia offers basic information about some topic it's not like you are about to get deep insight unless you buy a book. And I bet Wikipedia generated millions of book sales like I said people who read an article from Wikipedia and went to Amazon or Google to search for a book.

The XEGS was my first computer. My parents bought it for me when I was 11. I later got a floppy disk drive and a 300 baud modem. It honestly felt magical to me. Rescue on Fractalus was one of my favorite games. The light gun was not as good as the NES one, but I still had fun with Bug Hunt. I really enjoyed the Infocom text games, though I think the feelies were the best part of those. Later I discovered Ultima IV and played the heck out of that. I had my first experiences in programming with it. I would read the manual for fun and typing in programs from Antic. I eventually started asking my parents for an Atari ST but ended up with a second hand IBM AT.

> It's still drug induced state though. You don't see profound reality. You see what the drug is making you see. IMO, better to focus on the reality in front of you rather than something that is effectively a hallucination. Just my opinion though.

This last paragraph you wrote demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the mind, chemistry, and reality.

The drug is a mere simple molecule. It does not contain any hallucinations or video recordings or instructions. It's a chemical that tweaks the parameters of your neurons, causing them to fire in patterns different from those they typically fire in. That's why it affects different people very differently: because the experience is created by the brain, not the drug. And although we might all take the same drug, we've all got different brains.

Anything you see/feel/hear/experience on the drug came from your own mind or its sensory input. It did not come from the drug. You may not have had those experiences without the drug, but the drug itself is not the origin of those experiences.

Your final comments about how it's "better" to "focus on reality" rather than a "hallucination" also screams that you are simply jealous of those who claim to have had profound experiences with these drugs. The people in this thread citing profound experiences are largely explaining how the drug actually helped them to better focus on reality. They aren't talking about how they spend day-in-day-out taking these drugs or thinking about them.

We're all hallucinating all the time. Our mind is constantly autonomously filling in the gaps left by our sensory system with "hallucinations". Certain drugs may cause your hallucinations to diverge farther from rational/empirical truth, but to be clear, most people aren't very rational/empirical to begin with.

The title doesn't give much context, but this is specifically related to planning for China's anticipated annexation of Taiwan. China's advantage is that they are close to Taiwan, and speed in achieving their takeover is to their advantage.

I really fail to see how parts of the tech community continue to be beguiled by utopianist notions wrt AI and automation, unless what's really happening is that the already successful techno-capitalists are trying to lay a disingenuous groundwork for them to innovate ever closer towards AGI, unimpeded.

We know what will happen in a future world with more AI and automation that renders more people obsolete: the world at large will increasingly approximate what we already see in the poorest parts of it. Specifically, those with capital and who can access AI and automation will be in charge and have most of the wealth and the rest will look not very different from villagers in Africa or slum dwellers in Mumbai. People who think capitalism is the problem fail to see that there is no alternative to it that is both compatible with human nature and that would also yield a substantially better outcome.

The future is a world in which the masses are pacified by the provision of a minimally-viable lifestyle that keeps them just satisfied enough to nullify the threat of violence. And even that bar will be lowered when policing and military force become fully automated.

This depends on the exact nature of the object being auctioned. The details matter a lot. Some good economists have worked on this problem both in theory and empirically for a long time.

Under independent private valuation (where the value of the object is completely idiosyncratic to you), your thought is (AFAIK) correct. Here think of art: ignoring resale value, how much someone else would pay for an object depends on how much he likes it, but doesn't have anything to do with how you should bid - your bid is a function of how much you like it. (To a first approximation - again the details of the auction format really matter.)

In a common value situation (where the value of the underlying object to any player is the same, but players _signals_ (an input to their beliefs) about that value contain an idiosyncratic component), you might learn something about the quality of your own signal by knowing something about the bids of other players in the auction. For example: are you about to overpay b/c you believe Hinton's time is worth a lot more than Google and Baidu believe it to be worth??

The phrase "the winner's curse" was invented for this problem in the context of bidding for offshore oil leases. The value to all players (the number of barrels of oil in the field) is the same, but they have different beliefs about what that number is. The winner's curse is that the highest bidder was generally the most optimistic about the value of the field. It's a "curse" b/c the optimism was frequently not justified.

What was actually being auctioned here is a little unclear - something like "the time and expertise of Hinton + two grad students", but it's plausible that Google, Microsoft and Baidu could have made equally good use of it. It reads more like a common value setting, that is. So knowing the bids can matter.

If you want to know more about auction theory (this comment may already be more than you want to know!), I can recommend Krishna's "Auction Theory" or Milgrom's "Putting Auction Theory to Work."
"What you have to realize," said one Atari engineer (I think it was Shiraz Shivji), "Is that DRAMs are really analog components."

IIRC the ST was running DRAMs a few tens of nanoseconds (ten to fifteen percent) faster than they were rated. Not sure exactly why, but I think the ST was running cheap parts faster than they were supposed to go, and it largely got away with it.

Wonder if they played the same games with the refreshed 6502-based systems.
I wonder if we will have a new wave of miners. If you want to get in, instead of spending $10,000 on mining gear, spend the same amount on coins which are easier to sell off later when you want to get out.
Perverse incentives for book authors too. You could create a industry generating books to cite on Wikipedia.
This is an interesting idea and brings up a really good point about crawling being something that can lead to a fundamental monopoly when successful. However it misses that the storage, algorithms and indexing required for searching the crawled sites is fundamentally part of the development of the crawlers and the end search engine. If this was a forced monopoly there would suddenly be a situation where creative or new methods for crawling or differences in how the crawled sites are searched would be limited by the bureaucracy of the government monopoly.

Now what if a consortium of search engines worked together to create a direct competitor to Google. Could that work? And it would avoid the total centralization of the monopoly to a government agency?

Monopoly power right there (yes I'm assuming someone I don't know on the internet is speaking the truth - the assumption may be wrong). What percentage of the mobile phone market is now closed to you?

If you've got the supporting docs to that story it's a good one for any journalist who has an interest in silicon valley market power. Silicon valley monopoly power into a search engine will link up a bunch of newspaper stories about it. Start with the author of the one you think is the best and send them the docs and it may well be there as supporting evidence the next time they write about the abuse of monopolistic power. In general it's a bad idea to "trust" journalists so exercise usual amounts of caution.
Well if you look at almost all people, they can't either.

Job retraining has an abysmal success rate. I don't think it's even 10%, last time I looked into it.

That's why all the "Learn 2 Code" shit that Huff Post and Vox and etc. so forth were spouting off to rural West Virginian coal miners was so stupid... if you can write, or can even learn to write, complex C++ code, why the fuck would you keep mining coal to begin with? Strangely, I didn't see much "#learntocode" when those 47 Huff Post workers got fired, many of whom had been there for 9-10 years.
On the other hand, the rate of change itself has a rate of change.
If someone steps on your foot, the nerves in your foot conduct an electrical signal to your brain for interpretation as pressure, pain, etc. Plants use external chemical signals for similar signaling. Presumably this is similar.
What's maddening is that that "solution" isn't even informed by anything in their guidelines, and technically Hey is still not compliant according to 3.1.3(b).

> 3.1.3(b) Multiplatform Services: Apps that operate across multiple platforms may allow users to access content, subscriptions, or features they have acquired in your app on _other platforms or your web site_, including consumable items in multi-platform games, _provided those items are also available as in-app purchases within the app_.

And by that rule there are _many_ apps from big companies that violate App Store guidelines, yet they get a pass because Apple doesn't have has much leverage over those companies as they do with small independent developers.

I like this point. I wish it would be reported as an "influence operation" rather than "misinformation". The most effective propaganda is 80% true.
Whats the path from something syntactically functionally like Dockerfile, to an OCI compliant outcome runj would work with?

To me, Dockerfile and the image repo is the killer-app side of this.

Conversion scripts, re-compilers would be cool. Lots of things won't work, because of assumptions about what POSIX or like spec means inside the run state, but it would be a great first move, and over time people would move to more portable OCI outcomes hopefully.
Are any details known yet about the format or structure of the API? I didn’t see anything in the article.

Define better. Gmail does a pretty good job for most use cases but it's all about compromises. One person's spam is another's ham; so you will unavoidably end up with false positives and/or false negatives. For some organisations you might want a system that you can fine tune those.

Right, you couldn't run docker/dockerd, but you could run some docker images, probably? They're just filesystems with regular Linux binaries in them.

Ed: for example, AFAIK there's no native build of Microsoft sql server for freeBSD, but there's a release for Linux, and a docker (oci) image:

https://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-mssql-server

So, assuming runj could fetch from docker hub, and interpret the images, you might in theory just:

runj run mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server

(I'm not sure about the status of init vs oci - I know docker defaults to/uses tini these days?).
FreeBSD implements a nice Linux compatibility shim. It might be worth asking if the cost to implement the kernel API needed for this, is too high, or can be GSoC or something.

Yes, countless VPN providers do need your payment details. And that is a risk. The comfort in that risk however is that anyone with knowledge of your VPN payment still doesn't know what you did with that VPN. With a messaging app however, you are risking your entire online identity.

If country B in that case has extreme inequality it may actually struggle with economic growth as there isn’t enough purchasing power among the poor to drive consumption which generally is what drives corporate profits.

In that case it could be that country A outgrows country B because the restributive policies have a stimulus effect.

The thing is, we don’t know how fast society-wide experiments will turn out.

In the US, this is where federalism is advantageous. Allow different states to try different policies and then measure the outcomes. Over time, winning policies will emerge and spread across the country.
According to this argument though, who would ever mount a Shakespeare play? The theatre down the street could rip you off at any moment.

Theatres remount things and profit from it. Theatres do original works without much intention of selling the rights later and profit from it. Obviously there are going to be a ton of examples where copyright is used to generate revenue, because it exists and why wouldn't you copyright something when there's no cost to doing it and potential upside. But there's plenty of evidence that live theatre would still exist without copyright.

> Why should they care about you if you’re not even there asking them to care about the things you care about?

Because they were elected to their position specifically to do what's best for everyone they represent. That is, quite literally, their job.

And yes, I care more about me and my own than I do for others. But I do care for others. Plus, caring for my own means I need to care for others because society as a whole must survive and be better tomorrow than it is today if I want the best for my own in the future.

All that being said, we do create laws to make sure people act in the best interest of "people", not "person", and that includes limits on what lawmakers and those that interact with lawmakers can do. They are part of that mitigation you spoke of. We can change how humans behave, counter to their human nature, via those laws and their enforcement.
