Are you suggesting that these international platforms should keep track of location (and nationality?) of everyone who is on them and apply different standards based on that?

Or just on the basis of the one or more places the company itself is are incorporated? Will they shop around for communication laws the same way they do for taxes?

> I think we should be relatively open to the possibility that there is a good description of consciousness

I agree but what could that possibly be?

The only reason we know subjective awareness exists is that we "have" or "are" it ourselves.

It's not like electricity where we don't (and can't) know what it "is" but we can describe its behavior and effects mathematically with extraordinary precision because we have instruments to measure it.

We have no instruments that can measure subjective awareness, only self-reports.

Now it's often overlooked that you can investigate consciousness by means of your own consciousness. However, the information evolved that way always remains subjective, and so is of no avail to create objective descriptions of consciousness.
Excluding people is exclusionary. It doesn't mean justified or unjustified.
I can't emphasize how much this needs to be done (granted, the population in the age group that needs it the most is shrinking).

The current seniors phone are utter crap. I've tried a bunch for my dad.

My dad, 80+, can't figure out how to use a feature phone (I got him a Nokia handset) much less a smartphone (have tried iPhone and Android).

The thing is, he has no desire to read a menu, or figure out what an icon means, or what the text under the icon says. He can't even be bothered trying to understand up, down, left, right and OK in terms of navigating a phone's capabilities.

What he does know how to use is a land line. He's got a Northern Telecom phone with some pre-programmed numbers, and he seems to have no problem with that at all. He doesn't know how to do voice mail on his phone, but he does know how to use an old school answering machine.

If someone can make a phone that behaves more like a traditional phone (i.e., maybe a lid flips so that it's like lifting a phone off the hook, close the lid to hang up), and no send/cancel buttons, I think my dad would be able to figure it out more easily.

On a separate note, the reasons above are the same reasons why he can't use a media player on a TV. He only knows the concept of sticking physical media into a player, and using the standard media buttons, and for the TV, he is used to punching in numbers to change the channel.

Menu navigation, which is easy for most people under 60, is SO foreign to him.
Whoops fixed now. Thanks!
Docker is for running Linux apps. I honestly don't see the appeal of abstracting away the Linux VM via Docker for Mac, especially if it has issues like filesystem performance. I have been running docker inside a Linux VM in VMWare Fusion on my Intel MacBook. Surely it would be possible to just have a plain Linux VM on an M1 Mac and run Docker inside it?

I read their reasoning why they’re stopping, but my gut tells me China is behind this. They’re actively tapping Africa for natural resources and I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some dealings behind closed doors to hand over cacao to China.

Same. It's seriously hard to say how awesome it is that a few days invested into customization ~10 years ago have lasted with me all this time. According to my dotfiles, the last "upstream updated something so I had to fix my setup" change was 4 years ago.

Firefox is the only program I run that requires constant "config maintenance".

Meanwhile, I've used macOS at work for ~5 years. Every time a big release comes out, IT departments have to go around screaming "DONT UPDATE IT WILL BREAK EVERYTHING" for a month. Once that calms down later we finally can update (though I only _want_ to update because by that point the incessant "Update now or tonight?" prompts have driven me mad) -- and instead of everything breaking, it merely breaks half my customizations and I have to waste time fixing it.

>So where did they find a control group with 47.6% mortality? Is care that much worse in Brazil vs. the U.S?

Yeah, unfortunately it is -- 38% according to this news piece, 80% for ICU patients[1]. It makes sense that it is even higher in Amazonas, the Brazilian state reported in the study. Over there they had a very serious health system collapse the last few months; even oxygen supplies were completely depleted statewide for a couple of weeks.

I'm a bit of an HN neophyte, having recently left FB for a place where thoughtful discussion was still welcome. I'm not being rhetorical when I ask, what is going on? Are some highly-rated users just abusing their power to flag, or is this something else? Is HN on its way to being more concerned with virtue signaling than open discussion?

> Those links are being/have been broken. No amount of added rigor will fix that. I don't know what will.

The institutions could start telling the truth once in a while. Statements like "27 police officers injured during largely peaceful anti-racism protests in London" (BBC) and "Fiery but mostly peaceful protests" (CNN) with the city burning down in the background account for why trust in media is rapidly approaching zero. It makes it clear that the violence and devastation is just a curiosity to the upper-class elites that control these institutions, but normal people who actually have to live with aftermath are not amused.

Fauci is another huge contributor. First don't wear masks, they can actually hurt. Then you have to wear masks. Now wear two or three! But earlier he was ridiculing people who wore multiple masks. Along with all the knowingly false statements about how long lockdowns would last. Clearly Fauci should not be allowed to speak in public, but unfortunately the blast radius of his mistakes extends beyond him to the government and media institutions that defend him and amplified his misinformation.
I think when we talk about something being a hack, we have a context in mind and a goal in mind, and the "hack" is just the way we achieved this goal that wasn't immediately obvious within this context. Of course, once this non-obvious solution becomes well-known, it's incorporated into the context and thus is no longer thought of as a "hack."
The site presents me with a pop-up:

I have two HB 5 string basses, the former was the bare minimum I could afford to move to the 5 strings world and see how I adapted to it. That bass wasn't great but it was well set up and tuned, had a decent neck binding, the electronic was really quiet and the sound, although a bit rubber-ish and lacking some sustain, was good enough for playing in a band in which the guitarist played gear that cost 10 times more without anyone noticing.
One year later I purchased one of their HBZ-2005, which besides being a piece of beauty sounds fantastic. I paid it about 220€ years ago, before they bumped the price to about 300€ - bummer, I was considering the purchase of a spare one. Apparently it was too good to be that cheap.
I agree that existential types can increase the abstraction level, but not to the level of high-level languages (and they increase generated code-size), because in the end there are still specific low-level details a lot of code needs to care about, like storage and lifetime.

> I'm not aware of any assembly languages which have traits. Replacing a concrete type with a trait tends to be pretty easy in Rust because mistakes are caught at compile time.

I'm not thinking in terms of language features but abstractions. The best way to see this is to think how many different implementations to a code unit I can do without making the consumer aware? That number is significantly lower for low-level languages compared to high-level languages because things that can be hidden in high-level languages, like layout, storage and lifetime, must not be in low-level ones, hence "low abstraction." Changing something in one place is more likely to require changes elsewhere. Therefore, low-level programs are more rigid, more jigsaw-like, and their evolution more difficult.

It is true that a compiler that tells you if you missed a change helps a lot, but it doesn't change the nature of the low-level language, even though it improves its ergonomics (although it's not so simple, as sometimes even correct programs are rejected) -- you still need to do all the extra work, but it doesn't take quite as long.

It seems like his motivation was primarily increased online engagement.

As human socialization occurs increasingly in digital spaces, will be interesting to see if there is a rise in trans people who only wish to transition using technology without wanting to change their own analog physical appearance.

Similarly, I wonder if there are remote workers who use filters like these to consistently present an idealized version of themselves professionally.

I predict within the next 20 years, having an avatar that is more attractive than your true physical form will become normalized. Perhaps some middle aged people will only present as their 20 year old selves online. I'm sure transracial avatars will be a controversial issue.

Maybe I should short cosmetics and go long on GPU manufacturing.
So it's not what she did, it's what other people did before her. Now, finally, we can call someone to task for it. Ah, this has so many parallels now with so many other things going on.
Did anything actually happen when it was repealed? I was pretty upset when it happened, especially when that awful "you can still use the internet" video was made. But I have to admit, I have experienced exactly 0 of the negatives that I was worried about at the time.
This is a huge improvement because very often by the time ContentID claims are resolved most of the subscribers and other early-serge viewers have seen the video so that money has basically been stolen from the creator and that video will not bring in much profit after that initial surge.

It obviously isn't perfect but at least this lets the creator appeal/update the video before effectively cutting a large check to companies who very often don't deserve it.

Rust does not intend to be a replacement for C though, while Go does (partially).
I also wanted to abolish all patents, and I think that whatever problems it may cause are probably worth it. (There may have been a use for patents in the past, but even if so, that is no longer the case.) I think that there are further transitions that could be made rather than only shortening patent terms; there can also remove some restrictions on other people's use of them (e.g. so that FOSS cannot be sued for patents), and perhaps to prevent filing new patents. But, the final goal should be to abolish patents entirely, and it ought to not take too long to do so.

Copyright should also be abolished, also with transitions.

Normal users wouldn't be aware of this token. Sandwich bots monitor all pending transactions. The author sent transactions between his own accounts, and sandwich bots tried to take advantage.
The two prison reforms I want to see the most:

1. Education programs that actually mean something and actually are adequately funded.

2. Retaining prison work, but requiring that prisoners who are not paid minimum wage where they are be paid the difference on release. (The Federal government may need to make this a protected fund or trust to make sure its not use as a fund to raid by lower governments and administrators.)
This sounds very useful. Does anyone know of any package similar to this for emacs?
Yeah, the ones here have multiple lanes with pneumatic tubes to transfer stuff to and from cars, and one of the tellers wears a headset like a fast food drive through. When a car pulls up, they step away from the counter and serve the drive-through window, often multiplexing to assist multiple cars. It's kind of interesting to watch, and can be (or at least feel) more efficient than going inside.

They typically only staff the drive-through when the bank lobby is also open, or a half-hour later. One of the lanes will also usually have an ATM and a dropbox for after-hours service.

> It was probably so successful precisely because it was seeing the world through the eyes of a 50 year old Japanese biker with the face people expect in influencers.

I can't read Japanese and I used Google translate for the post text (so maybe there's more depth that's lost in translation), but the pictures look to be pretty "generic influencer". None of those pictures look any different than what you would expect from a random 20 something influencer. Additionally, the text on the tweet is pretty much "I like motorcycles" along with "her" age and height. Everything here seems to be pretty much the same "here's a pretty girl in front of something" post that instagram is full of.

Again, I'm only going off the pictures and Google translate, so if someone who understands the culture better wants to correct me, feel free, but until that happens, I'm going to believe there's nothing more to this than a bunch of people wanting to look at a pretty girl.

Edit: Ran the tweet in the article through DeepL at the suggestion of some replies. Here's the translation so you all can come to your own conclusions:

Do you think prison reform is not a political topic?
One path you should consider is SME consulting, there are multiple entrances such as databases, networking, social media, mobile apps, websites, etc. SMEs have many computer-related needs that they need filled, but can't afford to employ someone full-time for. Certifications may help for some fields but not others. Depending on your local market, it may be expedient to specialize in a particular type of customer (home landscaping businesses, or small value-added food manufacturer's, or graphic design studios, or law firms, etc.) as that will help with both WOM and credibility. At the very beginning, you may have to rely on personal references and introductions, not to mention heavily discounting your services, in order to get work.

If your focus is on helping your clients succeed in measurable ways, you'll go far.

After you've done that for a while, you should have both experience and references that you can use to apply to larger firms (some of them possibly among your larger clients) for full-time positions (assuming that is still your goal at that point).

Can we clarify what a real world appearance is here? Does your real world appearance involving nice looking clothes, makeup or having showered recently?

Why do we even really care about real world appearance, appearance is something that we have very little control over and if we've accidentally created something in the internet that allows folks to escape their appearance can't we just celebrate it?

We seem to be accepting that gender identification and body dysmorphia are both real things that people deal with and this meta-society where you can look however you please is probably a really helpful outlet for those who don't like how people judge their appearance from day-to-day - I think it's important that we preserve this freedom and try and ascend beyond judging people by their meat-bags.
Sounds pretty nice and fairly foolproof.

Machines that write believable stories can fabricate entire realities. The deepfake stuff is just a very small part of it. How much of the information we use to make our daily decisions on come from unverified sources on the internet? How many of the "trusted" sources are just paid PR for the rich and powerful?

The deepfake stuff can be solved with public/private key crypto anyways.
I don't disagree. But isn't calling anybody who disagrees even slightly with you a racist, or a bigot, or a xenophobe, or a hate monger, or any of a thousand other things, the very height of "unwillingness to even attempt to understand an opposing viewpoint." I don't hear critics of CRT and wokism calling their opponents the most reprehensible and odious names they can imagine. I see plenty of CRT advocates doing just that. Why is this okay?
