The thing about animal intelligence is that it is probably significantly different from ours. In studying it, we must avoid antromorphization of animals.

Mammals are somewhat close to us, but we have diverged from birds over a hundred million years ago and we still struggle to understand how a tiny and smooth brain such as corvids have can produce such an observably intelligent behavior.
Earth also doesn't have any nuclear powered rovers driving on the surface and yet Mars does. Might have something to do with the fact that the risk to humans on Mars is slightly lower than on Earth,no?

The message, "DONT USE YOUR USDT TOKEN YOU VE GOT BLACKLISTED",
appears to be knowingly offering how to advice to someone actively committing the crime of hiding stolen money.

18 U.S. Code § 3 defines an "Accessory after the fact" as "Whoever, knowing that an offense against the United States has been committed, receives, relieves, comforts or assists the offender in order to hinder or prevent his apprehension, trial or punishment, is an accessory after the fact." and states that it's worth half the jail time as the primary offense.

However, it could also be argued that hanashiro.eth is aiding someone in committing the crime of money laundering, not just helping them avoid being caught, in which case 18 U.S. Code § 2 says that planning, ordering, or knowingly helping commit a crime makes one eligible for the same full full punishment as the primary actor.

Right, so Elementary is trying to enforce a consistent language. Apps that follow the language will look consistent, apps that don't, won't.

The only difference with macOS is the number of apps that make at least a minimal effort to follow the OS paradigm.

Ask HN: Project Management for Life
What task manager set-up do you use for work/life/personal projects? At this point I've tried: trello, workflowy, asana and am looking for a set-up that:

1. has multiple views (i.e. daily/monthly, cross project)
2. has a feature for dates/deadlines
3. has a low-cost or free version
You know they're possible, because we're discussing them. Do you pay your debts?
Although I think the criticism is also overblown, there's a difference: under windows, it's mostly about look and feel. Older apps look like garbage, or are inconsistent with the current look. Take an older app and compare with an app from the store, and they look like they came from a different OS.

Interestingly, Microsoft Apps are the largest offenders, historically. They like to ship them with new versions of their common controls library, so it may take a while until you see changes in the OS itself (the ribbon being a large offender).

However, things work similarly. All the keyboard shortcuts work (unless they messed up on purpose), screen readers work, most settings work across the board (even if it makes the app look even worse). Change the color scheme, everything changes. In most cases, you can use the same API functions to interact with the controls, and WM messages tend to work consistently.

Not so with linux GUI toolkits. There has been a lot of effort in trying to make them look the same, but it's pretty obvious when an app is written in GTK vs QT or TK. Even the way they respond to sizing events change. Widgets work totally differently, keyboard shortcuts and conventions change.

It's less of a problem than it used to be, but it is still there, and it is sometimes very jarring. I don't know how to fix it, but it has to be fixed at some point.
It seems like they're going in totally the wrong direction. If program content is predictable based on patterns (low entropy) then that's a sign that our programming languages are too low level. If we want to improve developer productivity then the solution is the same as it always has been: create higher level languages which abstract away all the repetitive patterns.

I have rented in about 15 locations in the last 10 years and have a rental property of my own and I largely agree with everything here, but this particular sentence is fantasy.

> A landlord can maintain a revolving door of low-income tenants, evict those who fall behind on rent, and keep the security deposit.

The idea this is somehow going to be a long term money making strategy is a fantasy. If a tenant pays rent on time and doesn't wreck the place, a landlord isn't kicking them out without a really good reason because there is a huge risk you get a garbage tenant who doesn't pay and wrecks the place, or you fail to get a tenant at all.

"Interesting that everybody accepts that this was a "hack"."

I much prefer this interpretation. I think this should be considered ipso facto legitimate use of the contract.

The more frequent these contract "failures" become the more suspicious I am that the authors of the contract themselves are the ones exploiting them.

It's an obvious scam in this frothy market: introduce a contract with an intentional defect and then exploit it yourself.

Again, I am tempted to consider this a legitimate use of the contract.

Ask HN: What to consider joining early stage startups
Hi Friends,
I am engineer with about 12 years of experience in two big tech companies. I want to join early stage startup to experience the early stage hustle of startups.

Like everyone else, I am definitely interested in the early success and equity but also want to grow the company myself.

I wanted to understand what are the kind of things I should consider joining early stage startups and what are typical red-flags to watch out for?

Thank you.
> Mass eviction, both in and out of pandemic times, is best understood as a symptom of a system out of whack.

I think the shock will be releasing the dam all at once after you've held back all of the water in its entirety for over a year instead of letting it trickle naturally, and giving those people room to find what to do. Now they're all going to be scrambling for the same resources all at once, and in a lot larger numbers, in a time when those things are getting more expensive and rare. I believe this solution is much worse in the long run than what it was trying to prevent. For the renters, the landlords, everybody.

> a system out of whack

The moratorium was outside of the system, artificially created by politicians, imposed on the system. AFAIK, there has never been a moratorium of this kind in US history.
So in a way, this is time travel. If you wanted to see what the world looks like in five thousand years, you could get on a spaceship, accelerate way out to wherever and back, and voila! you've fast-forwarded five millennia.

A fascinating thought. The ship and crew would surely be long forgotten. You may be greeted as an alien visitor, until the people of that time recognize your relatively ancient technology from fragments of historical records. Too bad you speak a language nobody else even remembers.

Or perhaps you emerge as gods on a pillar of fire from the sky, witnessed by the primitive-again survivors of whatever has played out since you left.

I'm strangely tempted. If you offer me a ticket on such a ship, I might just come along.
Yes but the article doesn't speculate on the practices of late 13th century French Christians, it's speculating that the mural is referring to "early Christians" depicting a story that "Christianity itself had derived from a fertility cult whose members ingested hallucinogens". How late middle ages Christians knew so much about 1st century protochristians is left unexplained.

for await (const { respondWith } of Deno.serveHttp(conn)) {
respondWith(new Response("Hello World"));
}
}

You are being downvoted but you're correct.

Consider the natural numbers. There is no 'why' behind them. There are axioms behind them, and -- given those axioms -- there are statements about the natural numbers that can be logically reduced to the axioms, but the axioms have no why.

Moreover, it is provable the axioms have no why, because they cannot have a why, because the axioms cannot be proven except in relation to themselves. If you're so convinced the axioms have a why, please prove me and Godel wrong.

The 'why' behind natural numbers is a social one, and one of convenience. The natural numbers make it easy to solve and communicate about certain problems, but they are not the only way to solve those problem nor are they the only way to communicate about these problems.

For example, another way to deal with basic arithmetic, is to talk about numbers as sets. Now you can define certain operations on them, and completely ignore the axioms of the natural numbers. This model is way better than others for certain problems. However, you now have a new set of axioms.. and oh yeah, actually the most obvious ones are completely self-contradictory, so you'll need to choose Zermelo-Frankel or something else.

Or if you want to be even more general, you can simply talk about the lambda calculus, but good luck trying to 'prove' the lamba calculus theorems in itself, because you'll quickly hit the halting problem.

Of course you can then say... well let's get rid of that and use the typed lambda calculus, but then oh yeah you can't do anything interesting. Why are these choices made? Can the choices be justified in the systems themselves? No of course not. The idea that you can use 'logic' to derive these systems is also ridiculous because formal logic is itself a system with axiom (and a very controversial system at that).

But if you look at the lambda calculus, ZF set theory, and the natural numbers as simply models and systems that are sometimes useful, then it makes sense as to 'why'. But the 'why' exists independent of them and is not provable in them and is social and cultural in nature. It is certainly not mathematical as in order to 'do mathematics' (symbolic manipulations) you first need axioms.

Mathematics education in this country has been replaced by rote dogmatism which is why many Americans cannot handle this ambiguity.

What must be explained is that mathematics is a language and in order to communicate with other educated humans about these abstract concepts it behooves everyone to speak the same language. It is the same reason the word for 'dog' in English is taught as being spelled D-O-G. There is no why behind it. It's just the result of thousands of years of culture. Except mathematics is a more global language and more useful for different kinds of manipulations.
I think a lot of people living in suburbia today remember, and are unhappy about, the disappearance of Main Street and the town square. A lot of that gets blamed on capitalism, developers, Walmart/Amazon, etc. but a decent part of it is required by planning codes.

Funny enough, our early prototypes were done using Google Docs. There are features in Clarity that were impossible to simulate there, which is what drove us to build custom software in the first place.

The two most obvious are:
1) declaring tasks across documents and visualizing them in a single task database to create filtered views of work
2) interconnecting docs by topics and keywords so that you can navigate your knowledge base more effectively

There's also a shared notes feed for async information sharing, nested projects, in-app notifications, and other features that fill in the whole picture. The outline block structure also makes your information queryable beyond basic string search, which enables new types of exploration through your knowledge base, notes, and conversations.

I also wouldn't underestimate the power of a default home screen. There's a lot of power in having an enforced front page vs a doc the team must remember to check.

It's a cohesive set of functionality built to support teamwork vs a generic collection of documents.
That's all fair, but I think you're mixing my intent a bit.

I would not call "telling me what/how to do something in an area I am completely lost in" as "by fiat". By fiat implies they're telling you what/how to do something by the authority in their title.

And when it comes to giving details, I am not trying to say there isn't coordination or similar involved. This, again, has to do with the level of delegation. There are 10 I've seen discussed in coaching literature, and they range from "I am literally telling you ever step to take", up to "I gave you a broad desire I have, and now I walk away". What is right in a given situation varies, but the way you figure out what amount is right is by having a respectful conversation.

But I agree, operating at that level is not cushy. At the same time, I don't think it has to be as hard as it oftentimes is...but I think that to be true at every level. When a given position is really hard, it's because of bad management above them, I've generally found, but I've not observed many C-levels so can't comment there.
For real? Any source on which ones?

The section titled "Eviction moratoriums may hurt mom-and-pop landlords and favor corporate ones" is absolutely true, and it will result in even more wealth concentration.

I have a family member who had the misfortune to rent out a house he previously lived in (he was moving and due to some issues in the neighborhood wanted to rent his old house out for a year before selling) in Feb of 2020. I think his renter paid one month of rent, and then nothing after that. And I looked the guy up, I have sympathy for people who are really on hard times or who lost jobs but this dude is a grifter who is just taking advantage of the situation.

So he's lived there coming on 18 months paying absolutely nothing. My relative was fortunate enough to get a good dose of rental assistance (as this article said, the process was extremely chaotic), but I guarantee he will never be a landlord again. The risk/rewards of a tenant/landlord relationship used to feel well known, but now it feels like the government can basically commandeer your property at will.

So this means you are just going to be left with large corporate landlords who are diversified enough that they can take the risk. And what makes me so angry about this is that, as someone who is generally on the "left" side of the political spectrum, I see all these calls for "cancel rent", as if housing grows on trees and landlords are all some kind of Ebenezer stereotype, instead of being a lot of small-time folk just trying to get by.
The article also mentions that AP (and, presumably, IB) are being maintained. These programs provide a recognized curriculum and the courses are typically taken by students who want advanced classes. I also took a quick glance at the BC mathematics curriculum, which is typically offered in different tiers, and it is offered in different tiers. Science appears to take the usual tact of a general course, with specialist courses for students who want to study biology, chemistry, or physics in more depth. In other words, regardless of whatever nonsense is being spewed by the board, differentiation between interest and ability is still available.

It is also worth noting that there would be significant public push back if there was a true degradation in the curriculum. Ontario tried replacing calculus with pre-calculus about a decade ago, which the government had to reverse due to public pressure.
Everyone would take huge loans and bet on the stock market knowing they never needed to pay them off. It would need to be announced and executed at the same time.
Not OP, but at a former gig I was in a position to know the salaries of an engineering team spread out between North America and the UK. The UK engineers were doing the same work but paid salaries that would be considered insulting to most US engineers.

And frankly, the UK team was coding circles around much of the US engineers.

It was incredibly eye opening, and humbling.

It doesn't help that MANY doctors are complete morons and give out antibiotics for "suspected" infection.

The amount of times I had to refuse an antibiotic has been insane. There was a time I had some abdominal pain, got diagnosed with inflammation of the colon.....googled the name doctor said(cant recall now) but the information I found was that antibiotics are completely useless for it. In the end it was a muscle strain lol.

FDA/CDC needs to step in and really crack down on antibiotic usage. If I could report the doctors I would. Documents should be reviewed and warnings issued.
It remains to be tested in court whether a smart contract exploit is illegal, since there's an argument one is simply following the 'letter of the law' aka the contract.

edit: this is also something different governments may take a different stance on. If the U.S. finds someone criminally liable, El Salvador may not. Also, it's contentious what the 'location' of the crime even is, as there are no physical servers which have been attacked; could the blockchain as a distributed database be considered to exist 'everywhere' or 'nowhere'?

"Animals cannot, in principle, use abstract concepts because it requires language and brain centers which never been evolved in these branches of evolution."

Also, bird brains are very different from ours and knowledge of brain centers in mammals cannot be easily transferred to birds.

In another universe, a bird with your attitude could claim that flight requires feathers and thus non-birds cannot in principle fly, because they never evolved feathers.
