>Atheism is a recognition that there is zero evidence for the existence of any gods.

You're bemoaning a lack of empirical evidence when the problem is actually a philosophical one.

>there is nothing to refute

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like your stance is that God doesn't exist because God doesn't exist? Circular argument much? Atheism is a positive statement, too.

>It's not the job of atheists to disprove your assertions.

Of course it's not your "job". But I'd rather talk to someone who can actually explain why they think what they think.

> It either exists or it doesn't.

We are not omnipotent beings. We must strive to gain knowledge and understanding of the universe we live in. How do you know whether or not it exists?

>None of the aforementioned scholars ever presented evidence for their god or demonstrated supernatural causation.

Disagree completely, they all presented interesting arguments.

All civil disobedience is illegal, yet you seem to adjust for some of it vs. others.

Extend that to all employment. Nothing illegal about not being forced to work. A contract is not a prison sentence, or I should hope so.

I will grant you certain conditions apply to armed forces that wouldn't otherwise apply to civilian employment, as that does actively put other's lives at risk. This isn't a conversation about desertion of duty, merely protesting or quitting. Even then there are laws that protect conscientious objectors .
I would love to hear sources on that, I doubt that apple refurbs their 2-3 year old laptops and sells them to customers. Maybe they are doing this for iPhone lines, but I doubt they are doing it for their MBP/iPad stuff.

TBH, refurb stuff in my mind is basically remanufactured. When most devices go through that process at a manufacturer, many times they will get the guts pulled out and have replacement cosmetics redone.

I have never seen anything but the current gen stuff or N-1 laptops for sale on their refurb store, so call that into question.
You have a valid point and open-sourcing definitely creates known risks we could enumerate without too much trouble.

If open-source were part of your mission then you would have to treat those risks like all the other risks you assume by providing your service or doing business at all.

If not, then I agree that closed-sourcing looks more attractive in most cases.
No, not a China expert. Just wondering, like other HNers, why ARKX includes these Chinese e-commerce firms and trying to find an explanation. If you know of one that can pass for logical, I'd be glad to hear it.

As far as my own efforts, from the source cited, (which is 'nperf.com' and as far as I can see, not associated with any of the 3 services), You can see the coverage area of each service by selecting their drop downs. I looked at all 3, China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom. The maps of the three services show very limited coverage areas for all 3 services, relative to the land area of China. If those maps are inaccurate, perhaps you can point me to one that is accurate.

Thanks for your link. It states that the service is available in most villages, but that does not mean in and of itself that the villagers are using it. The additional information of 900 million Internet users vs. 1.4 billion citizens suggests they are not all using it. To that point, your link indicates you're on target, since the satellites don't deliver directly to the brain and they'll need a device that would put them on 4G anyway.

I've personally had an iPhone 8 purchased in Thailand replaced under warranty in Sydney. I've had US-purchased Macbook Pros serviced in many other countries, including batteries (Canada, Thailand), mainboards (Germany, Singapore), top cases (butterfly keyboard in Thailand and Germany) and screens (Texas, Thailand). Certainly seems global to me, though countries without Apple stores are most definitely second class participants in Apple's repair network.
While your idea has some merit, there is a distinction to be made between writing a book about completely fictional scenarios involving sex with minors, and advocating sex with minors (telling people that it is fine in a piece of advocacy like on a blog).

People sometimes get these two confused, but they're not the same thing.

Someone can easily construct a fantasy world where doing that might be fine / unharmful (or in scenarios where it is harmful, it is clear to the reader that it is bad to act on), yet believe it is harmful in reality.

Between the covers of a book is another universe. In a way, imagine someone is transported to another planet which resembles your own.

There is also indeed the distinction between advocating for something and doing it. To pick a less charged example, I advocate for the legalization of most drugs (although, it doesn't mean I would support irresponsible use, much like how I wouldn't support drink driving). This doesn't necessarily mean I am secretly consuming cocaine, heroin, LSD, and all manner of other illicit drugs.

Another thing is that there is a difference between someone giving their opinions on the matter, and actively inciting someone to do it. If someone specifically instructs the reader to go out and do it, that is clearly very bad. But, I've never heard of such a thing happening, and if it did, it is more likely to be an internet troll. It is too damaging of an act.

I am of the opinion that text + anything which is digitally created is fine. Nothing which goes back to a specific abuse, although there are occasions where the victim of child abuse will chronicle their abuse in text, and I think they should be free to do so. There is also the case in Canada where someone did a retelling of an old story (IIRC Hansel and Gretel) which was more faithful to the original.

In practice, I imagine it would be quite ruinous to publish books which cover such themes under your own name, and it would be advised to use some sort of pen name.

There are tons of things that don't follow TTLs, but a large majority of normal people traffic does.

Easily 90% of new connections will move following the TTL. Of course, some traffic got a DNS result once in 2003 and is going to use that forever. If it's important traffic, you can trace it and follow up with them. If not, you do the best you can and let the rest go.

Love the wink-wink nudge-nudge hint towards violence typical of the radical left, the planet over. The US is full of refugees from places that fought for 'workers rights' with 'rifles and multicultural unity' and never recovered. Check out all of South America, and even India, former USSR, China, etc.

Employment in the US is totally voluntary, with unemployment one of the lowest in the developed world, immense competition for tech talent, and you think this requires 'reckoning of the owner class' - which is often the SAME workers' 401k accounts?

What exactly is your ideal - that 'workers', who are also 'owners', fight themselves?
No it won’t, insurance doesn’t need better than human performance it just needs to be able to quantify the risk and price their policy accordingly.

If there is no driver it’s already lowers the risk even at as good as a human capability because you remove one potential human casualty from the equation when it comes ride services.

If AVs are going to be slightly better at causing fewer pedestrian casualties then it reduces the risk even further.

And even if the premiums are more expensive because of higher risk the question will be are they $30-50K which is the “salary” you would have to pay a full time driver at a minimum in the west these days a year more expensive.

If Uber will have to pay $20-30K per car per year in insurance it will still be cheaper for them than to use drivers. And that’s at about 10 times the average care insurance cost right now.

I would argue that from a moral stand point, every strike is legal.
It is sad that so many people do not understand WHY religion is worse over other things mentioned here.

These things are SHARED among many things, along with religion;

- we humans tend to form social hierarchies

- we all want to be belong

- we want to be the hero of our story

- life is hard, and death is terrifying, so we need lullabies

- some rules/codes required wherever there are more than 1 person alive. Be it religious, moral or written/legal.

- we all need some ideal to work towards

This however, is SPECIAL to religion;

Religion makes it a habit in believers to believe without evidence, forbits questioning, and delays answers to "afterlife".
Hence takes away the power of understanding and reasoning.

It installs a backdoor to people's minds so to speak. From which all the other bullshit are welcome to come in and also take a seat in their mind.

Oh wait, there was this video that was explains these more elegantly than I can.

It depends. I haven't heard of him licking anyone's arm again. He does change his mind if you can convince him. Otherwise, he is just going to be inappropriate in novel ways, because he can't tell what inappropriate is. Also, if he disagrees that something is inappropriate and you fail to make a convincing argument as to why it is, he will not change that behavior.

Short of calling it a diagnosis, those are all hallmarks of ASD, which you should recognize if you have ever dealt with such people in depth. If you haven't, consider moderating your judgement.

I don't really know. I'm sure plenty of people consume a lot of new stuff, but I just had a gut reaction to seeing "4 movies or 6 new TV episodes a month" mentioned as a low bar. To me that's a very busy month! But of course I have no data and no reason to believe myself and my family/friends/peers to be representative.

Families with children are an obvious case that probably pushes up the average. But I also get the impression, based anecdotally on myself and my friends and peers, that there's also plenty of people who routinely find themselves considering whether they should even keep paying. There's definitely a common sentiment like "it seems like I browse around on Netflix for several minutes and see the same couple of dozen things that I've been seeing for months, I swear I remember hearing about some recent must-watch movies and shows, but I sure can't find them right now, and I just end up watching YouTube videos." I personally am definitely way over-subscribed to streaming services, and my YouTube Premium subscription is delivering tons more value than all the others combined.

Lots of non-blockchain things could clearly be better for that, too. Since centralization and trust represents a massive optimization, a non-blockchain solution by definition can be more efficient.
Find another field where you're happier. Chasing money isn't worth it.
Not OP but I think if you were wagering on delivery right now you just can’t make the claim that it is solved for Tesla; maybe they will but they have been saying that for 5 years now and the demos don’t look that different from the video they released 2-3 years ago when it looked to be just around the corner (and before they instituted a program to replace the hardware on all cars even after they said every one has FSD ready hardware)

The military one is interesting... seems like autonomous military vehicles will be massively prone to adversarial attacks and as soon as the line of training is discovered that entire line of hardware suddenly can’t see the mine it’s about to drive over, for example.
I think unless you get to full general AI then you’re still going to need a human in the loop to protect against adversarial attacks for everything but the most mundane cargos, and at that level the difference between LIDAR and CV is probably minimal
If the justification investing into space/moon infrastructure will make constructing further space/moon infrastructure cheaper, then that's a circular argument, it's the "how, not why" about the most efficient way to produce some terminal goal, but it does not assert how large the benefit of that terminal goal is going to be.

For earth needs, it's cheaper and simpler and more efficient to mine titanium right here. There's a reasonable argument that mining all these things for space needs could be more efficient if done "on site", however, what are those space needs that will ultimately somehow benefit the people of Earth in a way that's more efficient than doing it down here?

If the end goal is to produce power, no matter how you invest into space tech, IMHO it's going to be much more efficient to build large quantities of solar panels on Earth and place them in Sahara desert, than to construct a large-scale solar panel industry on the moon to have the same quantity of power through satellites. Sure, they'd be cool, but that's not a justification.

When/if there's a resource shortage on earth causing some minerals to be orders of magnitude more expensive than today, then it would be worthwhile, but not yet.
A lot of SpaceX fans would disagree with having Boeing and Lockheed on the list because they see them as old space, locked into the failing model of bloated cost plus contracts for wasteful expendable rockets that’s now doomed.

I’m a SpaceX fan too, but if SpaceX cut costs to orbit by 10x or 100x someone is going to need to manufacture all the huge, powerful satellites, space stations, Mars habitats, probes and resource utilisation gear SpaceX will be launching. That’s Boeing and Lockheed, they have a crapton of experience making commercial and scientific space hardware. They’ll make a fortune.
I discount Turing's works because of his suicide. I think the Turing award ought to be renamed.

Consider all the love and respect directed at Robin Williams after he died. The perverse reality is that for someone in a suicidal frame of mind, that kind of love makes "I'd be better off dead" far more credible.

I think the other extreme, outright condemning someone, probably doesn't work either, as it's liable to make a person with suicidal feelings feel trapped.

So I settle for disapproval, that suicide is a permanent stain on someone's legacy, in the hope that it nudges someone to stick it out for another day.

I'm not sure you're clear on the difference between a SoC, and a System on a Motherboard. In the case of the motherboard, you are absolutely correct. However SoC means System on a Chip. For any manufacturer, if you put all the components into one IC, I'm not seeing how you can reasonably "repair" a component that's on that die? It's necessary to replace SoCs. But yeah, if you have an SSD on a motherboard, you should be able to replace it.
many of the largely atheist countries seem to be doing ok. But atheism isn't really anything other than a lack of belief in the claim there is a god. So what becomes more important is what you choose to make judgements, and many of the more atheist countries tend to have more secular humanist values. It's much more worthwhile talking about positive belief systems like secular humanism rather than lack of belief.

Also I'd be careful with any kind of statistics that measure people who conform more closely with Christian values in societies who are largely Christian or structured around christian ideals. Being outsiders in any society is often problematic because of how the society ends up treating/valuing you.

Integrating a satellite on to a launch vehicle on average is, it is fair to say, more than half the work of your entire mission, whatever it may be. Far more work than integrating a lidar sensor into your product. Source: working with both lidar systems and designing a satellite system for launch in university days.
You must be filtering by speaker at some level and in some contexts, though, right? I assume you have opinions on e.g. scientific topics that you don't understand in depth. The only way I know to form those opinions is by doing my best to work out who to (provisionally, partially) trust.

Likewise, you talk about devoting your attention to the most important arguments -- but how do you decide which arguments deserve that attention? You can't be doing that 100% independently, you must at some point be allowing other people to raise issues to your attention, and to shift your priors a bit by virtue of the credibility they have earned via their track record (of being right, of being honest, of caring about things you care about).

A strike, by definition, cannot be illegal. It's an established form of protest which may or may not lead to firing. Despite the results of the strike, the protest itself is not illegal, nor is walking out of a job. At least from both a moral standpoint.
> if you are ever involved in academic research and you hear the words "that's just engineering" be very wary

An eminent computer scientist (Jeff Mogul I think) once pointed out that computer systems research is basically engineering.

I concur with this assessment and suggest that it's something that systems researchers should be proud of. After all, engineering means you're actually designing and building something that could potentially work.
