Let me explain. First, let me tell you the background story of how I came to think about this. Second, I will explain my theories on how to define humanity, and the ramifications.

What started me on this debate, is a scene from my story where I envisioned the AI advances so well in controlling humanity, given the traits and limitations of human are so throughly analyzed by the AI.

A group of dissent believes the AI overlord is obstructing human FREE WILL, hence rendering them lesser human. So, they did what they could. They used bodily dysmorphic technology to alter themselves, differently from the original human states, but as you could see how it might get ugly. It's like this time, human willingly opt themselves into transforming into the likes of Nemesis from Resident Evil, willingly get in contact of a virus and lose their human forms.

The remaining human who pride themselves on their intact human form hunted those dissents down. But it sparks a whole new debate, who's more human? The ones that are permanently slaved to the form, or those who pertained what they thought, would be the most important thing of humanity?

I agree.

> somebody to agree that the time that they have budgeted will be enough for the [...] software project

For me, that's still software estimation.
I definitely still use a sleeve (Apple magnetic wallet thingie) to carry a few cards. But--assuming I'm willing to bet I won't need cash when walking around (which in the US is a decent bet in general)--not carrying a wallet, even a sleek one, is still a positive.
Heh I suppose I did whine about it. But if you opt for a 10 key it’s probably because it’s going to get used, and putting it absolute top right would keep it consistent with its placement on other products.
I have some pretty complex feelings about this.

Many people end up at a given programming language because they are fleeing something else, rather than being necessarily drawn to it, and I know that in some senses, Python was my reaction to having to deal with what I didn't like about Perl. One of the larger factors was dealing with CPAN. I was always having to hunt down modules, which would do maybe seventy percent of what I needed, or a another module, that would cover a different seventy percent. And then comes the question of, "Can I get this to run on Windows?"

Meanwhile, Python made hay with its enormous standard library and certainly xkcd made many references to it. Now people tell me that the standard library is where code goes to die and I get sad all over again ...
NYC phases out positivity rate for Covid decisions
You'd have to know the fundamental reason why people in SK (or anywhere) aren't having kids. Maybe it's women not wanting to be pregnant or give birth but maybe it's not - if it's for example, people aren't up for the investment that kids require then ectogenesis will get you nowhere.
What I like about the Mac implementation of storing credit cards is that it requires using touch ID to autofill the credit card info. There's no autofill without explicit user interaction.
>Does it matter if there are X number of parties if you still end up with multitudes of DINOs and RINOs, etc?

In Europe, over the last decades our equivalents to the Democrats (mostly, Social Democrat parties) and Republicans (Christian Democrat/centrist parties) shrank in percentages and the political field widened. These days, you have in most countries everything on the spectrum: communist/tankies, democratic socialists, social democrats, christian democrat/centrists, free-market liberals, center-right, nationalist/far-right and (in some countries) outright fascist/neo-Nazi parties for the "mainstream" political orientation plus a host of special-issue parties - most notably Greens which have become mainstream in itself, national ethnic minority/indigenous representation parties, Pirate Parties, pan-european liberals, local voter associations/"Freie Wähler".

And all of these are to some degree viable, with voters flocking to whomever they want to support. Of course, coalition forming can be tedious (cough Netherlands, Israel), but it is actual representative democracy at work!
Again: Relevant Si compounds don't exist here, because there is no Si-based life here. Our favorite carbon compounds would identically not exist in a Si-based ecosystem. That the useful compounds would not be simple substitutions of Si for C is of no importance. As I noted, some liquid-analog is likely involved in any spontaneously evolved ecology, but it does not need to be water, or even, technically, liquid-as-such.

Nature is not constrained to the limits of your imagination. I am frankly surprised to find you continuing to insist it is.
Sure that’s fair, but I’ve been very fortunate to have worked reasonably or very well paid jobs most of my career. Those jobs also enabled me to develop valuable skills. I think it’s only fair I put in a good effort in return.

Yes if business priorities change I could end up out the door, and that happened once, but no hard feelings. I quit all my other jobs anyway and there was nothing malicious either way.

The clothes on my back, and those if my children, the house we live in, the car we drive all were paid for by my employers. Yes it was a transaction, but a beneficial one on both sides. It’s all good.
Since you asked,...

The Kantian categorical imperative goes something like, "act as if the basis of your actions would be made universal law." What happens if everyone conducts denial of service and ransom attacks against anyone they perceive as a legitimate target?

> Is there a good scientific explanation why quantum phenomena are required to explain consciousness?

I think it is simpler than all that: quantum phenomena belong to our description of reality, as also does consciousness.

Assuming both are valid and explanatory, it should not be a surprise to see overlap. However, if one believes that one or both of these is false, the question is not to explain one using what we know of the other, but to disprove it using what we believe we know to be true.

Is consciousness required to explain quantum phenomena, or simply our only means?
> The downvotes clearly indicate an unpopular opinion

That's one conclusion. Could also be your attitude / way you expressed your opinion too. ;)
Oh I bet, but if the office space is becoming long term not useful, and people still pay a lot to live in NYC, it seems like there’s money in conversion.

That said I am the farthest thing from a real estate expert as you’ll get.
To be more precise, it is right above the backspace/delete key on every other device that has one. So they decided to stay consistent and put it in the exact same spot here too.

When you make an extended version of a keyboard, it makes sense to me to stay consistent and not rearrange keys on the part of the keyboard that's shared between the extended and regular-sized versions.
> nothing is stopping the developers from publishing on both

Nothing except for the exclusivity contracts that Oculus pushes...
> Please provide examples tying the gold standard to boom bust cycle frequency.

The Great Depression 1929 (Gold was so blamed for this depression, that Roosevelt made it illegal to hold more than a few ounces of gold to "solve" the depression).

Moving further back: The Panic of 1873 (which eradicated the Silver standard). Panic of 1893 was also tied to a gold-panic. Black Friday (1869) was another gold-related panic, but luckily the US wasn't on the Gold Standard at that time.
Agreed 100%.

I draw the line at "wishing ill upon its developers". Yeah, we were a part of the beast and responsible for its output. And I did quit, as the sibling comment failed to notice in its blunt anger. Login was beyond controversial even amongst my peers.

My point was: If, as a critic of Oculus, you look for someone to feel a dull sense of non-actionable vengeance against, aim higher.

I left and my headset of choice is an Index, despite its software having much rougher edges.

Is there a good way to measure what potential productive capacity of infrastructure investment is? I wonder what percentage of the limit we're at right now? Could the market efficiently react to a doubling or even 10x-ing of federal infrastructure investment?
Should be a tag for iOS only.
There's more than one way to look for consistency: in terms of key it was next to, or overall position on physical item.

In other words:

"It was above delete button"

vs

"It was in top right corner of the device"

From my personal usability perspective, FWIW, there's a difference between "Go to physical corner of a device" and "hunt for a very specific place in the middle of keyboard", but preferences differ.
Thank you for your work :D

Sometimes a bad solution is better than no solution at all.
Great to see innovation in this space. How does your service compare to offerings like those from PRIVO? Something we get a lot of value out of is their review of whether our practices are compliant (and if not, how to achieve it - all done in the design phase of new features etc) on top of offering a widget for verifiable parental consent. Is this something you also offer?
What Should We Make of Sasha Chapin's Claim That Taking LSD Restored His Sense
"We do not deny that business is destructive, but if we look deeper—as a result of these problems new technologies are developed and created."

This is such a transparently self-serving joke of an excuse.

A serial killer could likewise say "Sure, I kill people, but as a result of my murders the police develop new forensic techniques."

Right.. as if that justifies anything. These people are just interested in money, no matter who it hurts. They are sociopaths.
Does that really guarantee in-order processing, or just that messages can be picked up in order. If you have multiple consumers on your queue and consumer A picks up message x from the head of the queue then consumer B picks up message y next, it is possible for y to get processed before x. Maybe consumer A is slow (gc pause?) for some reason, and now we are processing out of order, even though the queuing infrastructure does not see it. If you truly need to guarantee strict processing order (x must complete before you start processing y) I think you may need to build that into your app. Or, I misread, which is very possible.
JavaScript Curry Anyone?
I'm rather fond of MyLifeOrganized (https://www.mylifeorganized.net/), an outliner available on Windows/MacOS/Android/iOS. It offers the ability to zoom into a branch of a tree, which I find very valuable. The developer offers a subscription sync service, which I use to keep my tree sync'd between desktop and mobile.
This sounds interesting. An example would really be helpful, I have a vague idea of what you're talking about but have a hard time concretizing it.

I remember that thread (and replied to it!).

It's important to remember the whole "30-40% raise when you switch jobs" only really happens at the beginning of your career. Your next job switch will maybe be 20-30%, your next one 10-20%, etc. until you reach the inevitable compensation plateau. I'm over 20 years into my career and my last job change was for +1% or so. No company would offer more.

If one could actually get a 40% bump every job change perpetually through their entire career, someone who starts at $100K would only have to change jobs seven times to reach >$1M. No way on earth that is happening for the vast, vast, vast majority of tech workers who job hop.

I worked with an engineer. She told me that when working at her previous company they permitted you to switch teams every 2 years. Every 2 years she would take that opportunity and got to work on a huge variety of projects with lots of different people. Some of them good, some of them not.

It kept her there for 12 years or so.
> I've heard quite a lot of people that talk about post-privacy, and they talk about it in terms of feeling like, you know, it's too late, we're done for, there's just no possibility for privacy left anymore and we just have to get used to it. And this is a pretty fascinating thing, because it seems to me that you never hear a feminist say that we're post-consent because there is rape. And why is that? The reason is that it's bullshit.

> We can't have a post-privacy world until we're post-privilege. So when we cave in our autonomy, then we can sort of say, "well, okay, we don't need privacy anymore, in fact we don't have privacy anymore, and I'm okay with that." Realistically though people are not comfortable with that. Because, if you only look at it from a position of privilege, like, say, white man on a stage, then yeah, maybe post-privacy works out okay for those people. But if you have ever not been, or if you are currently not, a white man with a passport from one of the five good nations in the world, it might not really work out well for you, and in fact it might be designed specifically such that it will continue to not work out well for you, because the structures themselves produce these inequalities.

> So when you hear someone talk about post-privacy, I think it's really important to engage them about their own privilege in the system and what it is they are actually arguing for.

Yeah but we're not really talking about bronze ages or if a species can achieve comparable technology, but whether we can correctly detect intelligence, or even life, around us.

I don't think we should label dolphins as un-intelligent just because their physical environment doesn't allow them to smelt metal.

My point is - I'd like to avoid judging something as (not) alive or intelligent just because it is (or isn't) similar to our daily life.

For me (not the op), the difference is between going to a corner of a physical device (mindless, immediate); vs having to hunt for specific position in the middle of device (more conscious, intent).

Put it differently, "one of these things is not like the other", so it makes intuitive sense -- for me :) -- for it to be in a corner and "isolated" from typing keys.

20 years ago I read in a very basic "Intro to UI" that 1-pixel in the corner of your screen is effectively the biggest button on the screen (this was for mouse and desktop monitor, of course), as you can just push your mouse there without aiming or stopping. The wisdom of being able to use motion to go to an extreme of device intuitively stuck with me ever since.
The global median household wealth is about $7,500. The median income is around $10,000. To much of the world (making some assumptions based on your presence here on HN), you have more in common with Jeff than you do with much of the world; they might take the same attitude to you.
I was hoping people would find it in themselves to try to rid the world of these invisible barriers instead of pointing out how "they do it worse than we do."
Breakpoints on throw are triggered before unwinding (you are effectively setting a breakpoint on the function called to unwind).

You simply cannot create a stack trace from within a C++ exception handler because that state is gone. Hence my argument that exceptions are not a continuation, there is nothing to continue.

How many companies will be around in 30 years? Half the companies I've worked for in the past do not exist anymore. The idea that you could get a job and stay there until retirement is antiquated at best.

Guessing that I'm less than 10 years younger than you, I had a college professor that told my class to change jobs every 5 years to maximize income. That was in the early 90s.
More time on this article and I think the body is just wrong. The visionary examples all highlighted seem more to be finding ways to leverage major technological changes that will be largely paid for by someone else.

This has been tough to reason on lately because it isn't that you don't need to invest a ton of money. You do. But, if you are investing where other investments are getting made, you have a faster road to success.

Now, granted, I can't really comment on the slack and Basecamp things... Largely, that feels more like a tempest in a teacup not realizing how big the rest of the world is?

But the rest of the examples? Which, seems to just be one example. Apple and the touchscreen revolution. It would have died quickly if not for everyone jumping on it and making them better every year.

There is an allusion to more examples in, "everything you love about smart phones". But for me, that amounts to an mp3 player and an audible app. Really only possible because of the minimization of storage and processing. And largely ignored advances in battery tech.

I still resonate with some of the conclusion. Most of it, even.
You assume that the value in this case is created merely by its existence but software in a vacuum is worthless. The value in software is also created by orgs that choose to use the software, by distribution networks. It must be reduced to practice.

As a software dev that can be a hard pill to swallow.

I personally deeply understand a new language only if I write the same code in two languages, one that I already know very well in your case c++ and the other I'm trying to learn, in your case that's rust.
