It's been a while since I played minecraft, so I don't know what a chunk loader is.

When I played, if nobody was in the vicinity of the chunks with your farm in it it would unload and of course then the farm would not produce, so people would AFK in their farm to keep the chunks loaded.
14 years ago, Alvy Ray Smith wasn't listed with the other people in Wikipedia's Pixar navbox. I added him a couple of times but someone kept deleting him without comment. I found it so odd.

Thankfully someone else seems to have added him back in and it has stuck now.
The Apollo app is leagues ahead of even their mobile app, not sure why they don’t just hire that person (probably because the person gives a shit about the user experience, and the suits at Reddit are more interested in ruthlessly monetizing, ipo and all coming up).
Simply put: two of the five justices who voted in favor of Obergefell (the case that legalized same-sex marriage) are no longer on the Court. They have been replaced with justices who would be more likely to vote the other way.

The realignment of the Court, plus this Court's willingness to overturn settled law, together signal that a new law prohibiting same-sex marriage might be allowed to stand if brought before today's Court, returning the US to a country where same-sex marriage is not universally legal.

So I would regard our current regime around same-sex marriage, civil rights, etc. to be subject to not being directly challenged at the Supreme Court.

If your house is on fire and you use an ice cube to cool your neck it'll feel good for a bit too, but you would achieve nothing, or even worse, you'd be under the impression of doing something while losing precious time.

We know what the right solutions are, but doing the right things is hard, hence we focus on meaningless half assed solution which are, in the end, only aggravating the situation. Notice how all these solutions always are about adding things to the system, never about slowing down, using less, producing less.

At the end of the day every single metric point to the fact that we're fucking up big time and that our slow incremental half assed solutions are nowhere near enough. The best case scenarios of our best current solutions are still not enough, and we're never meeting our own "not enough" goals.

I agree that people shouldn't be forced to use any currency, and should be able to choose freely. The reality is, most countries force you to use the currency they issue. The worse reality is, all of them are inflationary by design.

Cryptocurrencies give you a deflationary option. Don't like it? Don't use it.

I think cryptocurrencies are the future, and we will see more and more stores accepting them, and the conversions will happen automatically.

I think university departments that teach Philosophy, esp where edgy ideas are discussed should have some protection where the teacher is not harassed.

Some of his experimental papers where he talks of "dog rape" were perhaps borne out of his outrage at his situation - I am not sure if they are wise decisions on his part - instead seen as extreme measures to prove a point.

A liberal college by definition should allow diversity of opinion. A literal interpretation of the word "liberal college" reflects the reality that many places are liberal bubbles of thought, where there won't be a safe space for researchers to pick apart and look closely at conservative views of a subject. It's the sad reality that the authorities are not remotely ready to be proven wrong - the anti-thesis of rational inquiry in an educational setting.

Outrage Politics has pervaded everything. But his outrage is real and maybe justified, where he seems to be the victim (being 'coached' i.e. akin to a PIP )

There are some subjects that require lots of capital equipment to properly learn, like chemistry. But the majority of subjects like English, Computer Science, philosophy, etc. do not need anything more than knowledge, discussion, and a laptop to properly learn.

Companies should start hiring based on aptitude rather than degrees. Most roles don’t need a degree. Students can learn the ability to think and reason without an insane amount of money and time spent at these indoctrination factories.

People say, “But what about the social experience?” It seems to me that creating groups and meeting up has never been easier with the internet. If people can online date than the stigma of meeting in person after coordinating online can be lost too.

Overall I think universities through their neverending price hikes, focus on grievance over education, and the lack of actual teaching is sowing the seeds of their irrelevancy.
Jay Springett describes this as the “poisonous pill” one most swallow when engaging with Solarpunk: “It means that there's the decentralization of technology, the decentralization of power.”

Frankly that sounds excellent to me. I don't really trust the royalties at the tops of the various old-fashioned hierarchies to which we are subject to have my family's and community's best interests in mind. We're entirely capable of planting gardens and operating life-supporting equipment by ourselves.
I've been following the situation around Peter for a few years now.

Here's a documentary that touches on the panel with James Damoore that he mentions.

He was also a member of the Grievance Studies Affair[1].
They got a chapter from Mein Kampf published, rewritten in a feminist manner.
I think that shows how rigorous the gender studies field is in practice.

He was indeed reprimanded for social experiments on people.

Then again, how come a university isn't reacting when its personnel is spit upon and finds feces in front of their office door.

You might remember the moral outrage on a noose that was found in the garage of a black racing driver[2]. It's the asymmetry that is the problem.

Also correctness. There were a lot of implementations already that had poor behavior at different points in the number space (especially with respect to very small numbers).

Kahan also had experience because of his work for Intel on FP coprocessing. He couldn’t talk about the then not-yet-released parts, but he pushed hard for implementation decisions that other committee members said were too expensive but that he knew had been solved at Intel.
> accounting for human nature

A different take: Capitalism reinforces the most base part of human nature and sabotages our ability as a species to transcend that nature.

Our biology evolved to make culture possible, and as culture evolves we have the possibility of transcending that base nature. Or we can choose a culture that doubles down on "selfishness as a virtue".

The whole point of culture is to enable us to evolve beyond our original core / bootstrap programming.

I have no idea how Australia handles this, but in the U.S., the process of discovery is what is supposed to keep the police from just planting evidence. Prosecution needs to present all evidence that will be used against you, including exactly where it came from and chain of custody. If they can't, it gets thrown out. The only exception is they can't be compelled to give away the identity of confidential informants. But a confidential informant also can't testify anonymously, so the police would always need additional evidence beyond the word of a CI.

It's not a perfect system by any means. The police can and do plant evidence. But a lot of convictions also get thrown out and this is often why obviously guilty people get off on "technicalities" because the police don't follow procedure down to the letter.

The opposite end of the spectrum, not giving the police any power to do covert surveillance at all, is effectively just giving a license to the Mafia to do whatever it wants, as anyone who just commits all of their crimes privately will get away with it as long as they can sufficiently scare or kill anyone who would otherwise have been willing to testify.

It's a tradeoff either way, and we try to let there be a middle ground, where the police can bug your house, tap your phone, hack your router, but they need a warrant that has to be granted by a completely separate branch of government that is not in the same chain of command, and they have to prove to your lawyers that they obtained all of the evidence they have against you legally.

> People are just too religious.

I'm not sure this is strictly a religious matter. It could be rather deeply rooted into the perception of humanity, the human "self" that we have, and the reciprocity of it towards others: how would you make sure that a "grown" clone is not "someone" already?
They also murder unarmed people with a frequency I'm not comfortable with, so any argument that guns is what makes the police trigger happy has plenty of counter examples of clearly unarmed people getting killed.
There are switches out there by either Juniper or Cisco (can't remember which job I used them at) which actually have ARM CPUs on each switchport for one hardware acceleration feature :)

Whoa.... Pretty big left turn from education free speech to "I was accused of stuff". It seems like this grandstanding might really be about the latter.

Edit: Downvotes for expressing an opinion contrary to the thread. Very fitting.
No one knows... I was being facetious in my earlier comment.
Yes, when I was going to school one of my teachers said political correctness is the new facism. And with the actions that people are taking now with the destruction of statues in the US by erasing history. And with the resignation of this great man. I realise that that teacher was completely right in his depiction of what political correctness has turned into, cancel culture.
yes, amazingly enough anything can be achieved in a free democracy. I heard Nazi was elected too. Just takes good people's indifference.

To be honest, any military dialogue isn't of major interest to New Zealand because um look at our military? We have at most 2 planes that are usable. And maybe 5 sea faring vessels that probably can't even attack anything.
It's "easier" to capture from water in chemical terms but harder to actually move the water. I think the economy of moving the weight of water makes this a nonstarter.

Also yes, ocean acidification is likely to be the bigger immediate problem. People depend heavily on fish protein and other sealife. That plus poor farming yields will be bad.
Cooperatives can cooperatively decide to allocate more resources to more important tasks. One might suspect they would be less effective at such decisions than a Fortune 500 company, but that would be proof one has never worked at a Fortune 500 company.

if you dont allow your children tiktok/insta/etc, they get completely excluded from their community.

a possibility is to move into a community that does not use social networks that much, so not using them is normalized, but sadly this is not easy in western europe (at least for me).

What could possibly go wrong. It really amazes me that humans think they have everything under control.

Mao Zedong thought so too (sparrow killings) and produced hunger and suffering.
I'm confused as well. When it benefits these platforms to be private orgs they claim to be within their rights as a private org. When it's beneficial to claim they're a town square of sorts then suddenly they're a town square. If you think that moderating posts infringes on free speech then perhaps they should be regulated as a utility?

I personally have no issue with any of these platforms moderating to their heart's content for the following reasons:

We are entitled to free speech but we are not entitled to use Twitter's megaphone.

I am against megaphones. I don't like companies like Twitter. With any hope, the more they moderate the more people will move away from centralized platforms. Don't regulate them and they will moderate themselves out of existence (I wish).
I did think of that, but then also thought that since oceanic plant life move around with currents, they wouldn't be deprived of sunlight all the time. But yes, as you point out, nobody knows all the consequences. It sounds like they're actually doing research and experiments to validate their idea, so whatever model they use will hopefully take these kinds of secondary and tertiary effects into account.
I think he might be talking about other kinds of activism

They also do things like give a quarter million to black artists to make art about the effects of AI on systems of oppression.
Half a million to broadband towers in the american south.
Money for wetland restoration.

This may all seem neat and fine to do if they have that kind of money to hand out but these things come around the same time of having had a large swat of firings of people working on their projects like the Servo team, people working on firefox, etc. (The board also expanded and mitchell baker notably had her compensation increased by quite a lot)
Ask HN: What are some examples of backward compatibility preventing innovation?
That's kinda what it's implying though. You can't outright say "yeah this thing is doomed from the start" (unless you are Elon). But you have to shape the audience's expectations. "There's a lot that can go wrong" "high risk" "many single-point failure events that have to go off perfectly" etc.
Mate, if you think you're above cleaning toilets just because you also write software, maybe capitalism is the system for you.
Not to mention in the era I grew up in (before social media), people had pretty much the exact same complaint, except it was TV rotting kids’ brains (of course, there can be truth to both, but I’m skeptical the present era is uniquely terrible - kids used to watch a lot of TV).

I don’t use TikTok, but I’ve heard anecdotes from users that it’s currently the least-terrible of the social media services, and this doesn’t sound totally implausible to me, given what the competition is.

It seems more productive to focus on the enriching activities that we want more of rather than trying eliminate distracting ones - there are so many of those it’s easy to imagine one distraction just being replaced with another.

Boghossian is well-known for Sokal Hoaxes where he submits bogus papers to hundreds of journals (where it seems only obscure open access journals seem to actually publish) to discredit "feminism" and "the left" when they get published. The work is largely in the same vein as what you'll see out of Project Veritas.

He had a large following in the "anti-PC" and "anti-SJW" online subculture a few years back. It's been a long time since I've seen that name, interesting that I'm seeing it now where "PC" and "SJW" are largely swapped out with "woke" in discourse.
> Media are legitimate influences

> Disinformation is illegitimate (i.e. illegal) influence

So hopefully there's a space in-between: is it still legitimate (or legal) for me as an individual to influence people, or does that count as disinformation? Is it because I don't possess a codex?

> Society agreed to allow media to exist

"Society" was actually never asked. In liberal democracies, you don't have to ask permission to publish something. Anyone is allowed to do it.

> (and are held to that standard)

Goodness, can you really be talking about "mainstream" media? I don't see anyone holding them to any standard.

This is a really good point. Conservatives had two full years to repeal the Affordable Care Act. They had campaigned as a party for "Repeal and Replace" for nearly 10 years, but then they didn't repeal it.
No, it's not. These people know exactly what they want to avoid.
At this scale and level of tech, projects such as this are employment and research programs just as much as they are a means to get a nice telescope at the end.
I think you're barking up the wrong tree, mate.

The story is "law enforcement and conservative government work together to bring in new laws that makes law enforcement's life easier".

I don't see how tech companies, union bosses or WA tax revenue has much to do with it.
I just did a quick look, searching (without quotes) "Australia permission to leave" on DDG. It looks to me like you're conflating emergency restrictions for COVID [0] with something like the exit visas that the former USSR used and Russia still uses.

Fascinating to see this framed as "legitimate" and "illegitimate" vs true and false. I wonder how much disagreement on the topic comes from the distinctions in these meanings.
i would get rid of infinite scrolling.
This is a misconception.
I think you confused what I mean. I was asking if you were always pedantic. I said nothing about not starting a debate. It’s the way you communicate, not what you communicate.

Your tone makes it seem like you just want to toot your own horn and not like you want to actually have a conversation about the topic.

Maybe you could’ve said “there is this other application that I’ve been using that’s been out for a while and has innovated the browser in similar ways, check it out”

Do whatever you want, I just think you might promote healthier conversations if you don’t come across as pedantic. Unless you’re a troll or proud of your tone, either way, thanks for your time.
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much. I cannot wait to watch it again.
