Experience is not a function of a simple "level of complexity" but of structure with specific function. The idea that you reach a certain level of complexity and just get sentience as an incidental side effect of the complexity is a fallacy for multiple reasons. Sentience results from structures specifically crafted to create sentience. In the 21st century as opposed to the 12th century we know for sure that the structures that give us sentience reside entirely in the brain. We can examine the highly complex structure of the heart and compare it to the brain and see that while the heart is complex it does not have the same structure as the brain. The heart is not sentient not because it lacks sufficient "level of complexity" but rather because it lacks a specific functional form of complexity, i.e. the heart lacks information processing structures that the brain has. We can also observe things like when there is a heart transplant the recpient does not start experiencing a change in personality from an independent "sentient" donor heart. Thus there is no evidence that sentience resides outside the brain, so why assume it might?

You could just as well assume that a rock has the processing power of a computer CPU but it just lacks input and output.
As far as I know, starlink has not been subsidized by the government. They recently won an rdof grant to provide service to rural areas in the US, but this grant was received after most of the satellites were in orbit.

Musk always seems to be thinking two steps ahead, so perhaps Starlink is just an enabler for a future, more profitable product.

I agree with you, taking rural Wisconsin as somehow exemplary, I think the author is really just observing the 80 year slow decline of small town America. I live in a bigger metro of around 1M and though we have never succeeded in bringing downtown back to what it was there are at least 4 distinct layers of neighborhoods- the 1900s streetcar neighborhoods, the postwar suburbs, the 80s developments, and the contemporary (post 2000) redevelopment of the postwar areas. These areas are all being bought up and rennovated rapidly. I would have loved to restore an old bungalow type house but they essentially all are rennovated and sell for a much higher price. There was a lot of development of suburbs and exburbs around the 2000s that has virtually come to a halt. Its all infill developmemt and rennovation now. I live in a 50s house and my sister in a 1910s house and both are fine.

Good thing I gave up Perl5 years ago (after 15 years) and switched to Python. I can't even read the new Perl code, it's so obtuse. Now I like Python, it's much easier to parse because there aren't 1000 ways to do a simple thing. Perl was a write only language.

What I liked about Perl when I started using it was dictionaries, lists, regexes and CPAN. Coming from a statically typed language like C or Pascal it was freedom. Writing modules was weird, objects weird - so that meant messy code. And when they did implement something, it was always a sophisticated flavor of some rarely used programming concepts.
>I wish we had a reasonable alternative, it's so frustrating to have to choose between two bad alternatives

It's highly likely that even if there's an commercial alternative which gains significant market share to compete with duopoly in the future, they will have to do so by either compromising privacy or ownership of the device.

Solution right now is to make difficult lifestyle choice by using passion or idealistic projects. LineageOS + Fdroid can get things done for those who use their smartphone as an tool and ready to sacrifice a bit of social conformity(which can be a privilege at current times).

There are more extreme alternatives like Linux phones which I hope becomes less extreme in years to come.
The "environment" absolutely should _not_ be part of the name of the resource.

Coupling the notion of "environment" with your workload (be it in their name or their configuration files) is an anti-pattern that I wish people stopped following.

If you have 3 environments, dev staging and prod, you want resources in these environments to be named _exactly the same_ in each environment.

Whatever your workloads are, wherever they run, they themselves should never _be aware of the environment they run in_. From a workload's point of view the "environment" and its label (dev, staging or prod) do not matter. What makes a workload a "dev" or a "production" workload are their respective configuration and the way they differ, _not_ the name of the "environment" they run in.

What makes a workload a "dev" workload is dictated by its configuration (which database host it talks to for example).

When the environment is being coupled in the configuration of your workloads, inevitably a developer will end up writing code like:

if env == 'dev' then use_database("dev.example.com")

This won't work at all at scale as people start adding new environments (imagine, "qa","test", "dev_1", "alphonso's_test", "etc") as developer will start adding more and more conditions:

if env == 'dev' then use_database("dev.example.com")
if env == 'qa' then use_database("qa.example.com")
if env == 'dev_1' or env == 'alphonso' then use_database("dev_00.example.com")
// ... add more and more and more conditions

Instead, if your "dev" environment must talk to a "dev.example.com" database, create a variable called "DATABASE_HOST".

And for each environment, set the "DATABASE_HOST" to the value of the database this specific environment needs to talk to.

For example, for your "dev" environment DATABASE_HOST = "dev.example.com", and in your prod environment DATABASE_HOST = "prod.example.com". Here we clearly have a "dev" and a "prod", yet "dev" and "prod" are merely a "labels" for us humans to differentiate them, but the _configuration_ of these environments is really what defines them.

The code above then simply becomes:

use_database(DATABASE_HOST)

and _this_ ^ will scale with an infinite amount of environments.

_Configuration_ defines the "environment" _not_ the name of the environment.

edit: I realize the article is talking about your cloud provider resources and people might be running multiple "environment" resources in a single account. The above applies to "workloads" talking to these "cloud provider resources", not to the resources themselves, since, of course, you can't have 2 DBs named the same under one single account (obviously the names would collide).

LGBT rights. Religious rights should be at the absolute bottom of the barrel when they come in contention with any other civil rights.

Anybody can make up whatever bullshit they want and call it a religious belief, and when that doesn’t violate someone else’s rights, then fine, you do you. But just because you believe some bullshit or another doesn’t mean you have the right to trample my civil rights.
Of course it would be more expensive, otherwise they'd already do it. It's always cheaper to just exploit existing resources.
So, there's another similar case mentioned here, but related to a Reason comment: with that one the government went and got a gag order from a judge.

In this case, they just sent that "preservation letter" and in the letter said not to alert the user: Techdirt (somewhat reasonably) is portraying that as "effectively" a gag order. They didn't go on even to issue a subpoena here, and so they also didn't go get an actual gag order, but it's something they've been known to do.

Wow! Cool. If I remember correctly, Internet services was launched in India on Aug 15, 1995 (Independence Day). While still in college, I waited to "read" about it in magazines (which I had to specifically ask/order the book shop) that comes a month late to my home town.

For the next few years, I learnt and even did HTML page designs by reading from these magazines. The day I landed in a bigger city (Bombay), the first thing I did was visit an Internet café and created my Hotmail (I still own it to this day) and a Yahoo account. I felt happy, relaxed and visited the beach (my next biggest priority) in the evening.

I had a mentor-ish kinda "uncle" whom most other people treated as semi-crazy. But he was the one whom I debated endless hours on how and why the Internet without even experiencing it way back in the early 90s. Now, I understand many things he said, the most interesting one being that the Internet will allow anyone to do anything from anywhere and that's gonna change everything.

In a single instance of 4GB RAM and 2vCPU only one app is running as opposed to entire desktop applications running on usual 8GB machines. We are not saying the platform will and should replace your desktops or laptops, infact we feel both will co-exist together.

> If you have 3 environments, dev staging and prod, you want resources in these environments to be named _exactly the same_ in each environment.

So your production database server has the same resource name as your dev database server?

I live in Australia. We, like much of the developed world, have built our cities and suburbs on the fertile parts of the country and drain our rivers to irrigate semi-arid farmlands.

Lake Superior receives about 1 meter of rain per year and covers 82000 sq km. So Lake Superior is using 82 billion cubic meters of water per year, or, in medieval units, 21 trillion gallons. You could catch 10% of the rainfall on Lake Superior in barges and supply the entire friggen lawn consumption you want to ban.

The Mississippi River discharges 16800 cubic meters per second of water, which is 530 billion cubic meters per year. In medieval units, that's 140 trillion gallons of water per year.

You're too easily impressed and have no sense of proportion, making it easy for dishonest people to manipulate your emotions. Humans are doing massive environmental damage, but human water use for lawns is insignificant.

Now get the hell off my friggen lawn.
I think it is helpful to include environment name - they show up in UIs, consoles, DNS names, etc, and provide the operator a sanity check what environment a resource is in at a glance.
That's a poor comparison, given that reading Chinese requires you to memorize thousands of symbols that have little internal consistency or rules to deduce their meaning. It's _actually_ really hard and time intensive to learn to read. That doesn't make it ugly of course. Just not well suited for the analogy you're trying to make. I guess Arabic would be a better fit here, since it has an alphabet, if I'm not mistaken.

I partially disagree. For decades the taste of tomatoes coming out of Dutch greenhouses has been considered as 'underwhelming'. At least for small cherry tomatoes that is not the case anymore, they are usually superior to the stuff that comes from Spain. Furthermore all sorts of so called 'cultured' berries are often acceptable now, year round.

Don't know about nutrients though, since I have no real means to check for that.

So it seems, at least for some plants it is possible to selectively breed them over long times to make them adapt to
greenhouse/hydroponics/etc without losing their taste.

And I remember the real taste of berries, because I picked them in the wild in forests in my youth, and sometimes, though much less often even now.
Absolutely top! I always recommend syncthing. I use it to sync and backup data in different situations which are all similar to what others reported here.

One thing I'd like to add is, that syncthing is also configurable in detail. I use it to sync data between a workstation behind restricted network and my laptops (most of $HOME). For this I use ssh-tunnels between the hosts. So syncthing's public discovery would not be necessary. I can directly set the tcp endpoints for syncthing so it find its communictation partners. Nice!

Anyone here who decided to try to sync files at TB scale?

And what about file holes? AFAIK syncthing filles them with zeros. Is this still the case?
Race doesn't exist in humans. Races are subspecies, and homo sapiens doesn't have those. "Race" is a concept maintained to exist by people who think society should be organized by ethnicity, and those people are called racists. Racists have an extensive literature supporting this fundamentally fallacious worldview, stretching back centuries.

In the US, who has benefited from the historical ethnic organization of society, and who might feel they're losing something when society is organized that way less than it used to be? "You will not replace us!" they chant.

>Once you define something as “racist”, then it’s not hard to conclude it’s “racist”.

As I laid out, racism can be defined in concrete terms that, as it happens, don't constitute a tautology.

"Original sin" is entirely fictional, invented to convice people that they are fundamentally guilty of something, a guilt from which release is inconceivable. This was the innovation of Christianity: you were born with a debt that cannot be relieved.

A few of thoughts here.

First, we have proof of Viking settlements, but they just seemed to die off completely. It may be that before they really got settled, they were just killed by natives.

We don't have actual proof, it seems, of anyone else being here earlier.

Outside of that, the tomato, potato, and a lot of other things, aren't native to Canada, or even the US. It's native to Central and South America, which is 4000 or so km in a direct line, and 7000 or 8000km "hugging the coast" travel from where a viking settlement was found on the coast of Canada.

So just being in the "new world", won't even remotely put you in contact with everything.

On the farming side, no one really understood much about soil management, conditions, crop rotation, fertilizing, drainage, fungus, "growing zones" etc, etc until the 20th century.

Often, attempts to transplant crops would fail miserably, by:

* placing them in the wrong location (some plants die with too much sun, others with too little)

* same as above, but "requires a more southern climate" or "northern climate". Some plants literally cannot grow with short/long day cycles like the far North or South has.

* placing a plant in too wet, or too dry soil for its growth requirements. One plant may rot in a certain type of soil (clay/wet/whatever), another thrive

Well, there are many points like this. Farmers often knew their specific plants, but it was all guesswork compared to scientifically derived knowledge in the early 20th.

So even if a handful of seeds somehow made it back to Europe earlier than Spain getting to the new world and back, there's no promise it would thrive on a first-try.

Especially if it was just fishermen, not even interacting with the natives (maybe, earlier contact as you suggest).

But beyond all that, superstition! When the tomato was first introduced, it was actually seen as a 'sign of the devil'. It was considered evil, and dangerous to eat.

And if you look at corn, for a long time the Brits and much of Europe considered it only suitable as 'pig food'. Most humans wouldn't touch it, and likely this had also to do with taste, for the rural town I grew up had 'cow corn', which is corn hardier, quicker to grow, but not as succulent, or even very tasty (too starchy).

Early farmed corn was like this, starchy, and it took centuries to get the human palatable breeds we have now. Natives in the new world used it just for flour, basically, not as a grain to eat on its own.

And to speak to that, natives had to process corn in a special way:

https://www.spiceography.com/corn-flour/

Otherwise, it severely lacked in nutrition. Yet, Europeans may have just thought it was "tradition" to prepare corn this way...

I guess what I'm saying with all of this is, there's a lot of nuance here. Just taking a few seeds won't guarantee growth, or adoption.

Erm, another thought:

Potatoes were seen as deadly in some places and illegal, were seen as horrible in other places (and, people had to trick the commoners into eating them:

Tell that to the 73.6%[0] of Americans who are overweight or obese, but that the government doesn't care too much about it, in fact they subsidize it[1] via the farm bill & friends. Being overweight or obese will shorten your life [2]. Also the US gov doesn't care, as it's own dietary reccomendations differ from accepted nutritional guidelines e.g. Harvard nutrition plate[3].

IMO the government should not be in the business of policing one's health, or advocating for the people's health, as the USDA and associated agencies are demonstrably corrupted.
