How do you quantify externalities of media? Do NYT and other progressive outlets share responsibility for looting during summer 2020 because they largely shared the views of demonstrators? If climate change anxiety is shown to be a large factor in psychological issues, do outlets covering climate change get held responsible for that psychological consequence?
> It's pretty easy to find examples outside of the animal kingdom where an organism's lifecycle depends on it being eaten at some point. So far as I know, there are no animals with this property.

There are parasites for which being eaten is a part of their life cycle.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucochloridium_paradoxum

Black widow spiders are so named because the females eat their mates. Some spider mothers become food for their own children.

Not to mention that (while not exactly what you asked for, but I think it's important to recognize) carnivores kill other species as a means of survival, and even their own species at times. Wild wolves cannot feed their pups without killing other animals. Death is common in nature.
> ownership of digital products

There is no such thing. Data is just bits. Really big numbers. Asserting ownership over numbers is simply delusional. The second that number is published, it's already over.

Non-fungible tokens do absolutely nothing to change those facts. They just let people delude themselves into believing they actually own stuff. The only thing they own is the token.
Animal agriculture is a top cause of climate catastrophe. Is avoid global catastrophe a radical idea?
> When we were taught business in school, it was about setting the price, hiring staff, choosing a target market. You know, thigs that make a business a business.

You have a very narrow understanding of business and entrepreneurship. Not all businesses have employees. Every business book will tell you almost all businesses are price takers, not price setters. You can't wave a wand and say "I want to charge X".

The target market could be Uber, Lyft, black car, limo or personal. Maintaining equipment and accounting for depreciation is very important
> So far as I know, there are no animals with this property.

Ultimately, many grazing animals have their property. If their numbers grow too large from lack of predators, they'll consume all available food and then starve en-masse.

We may then just have different scopes for what counts as "Social Media" and what are other "categories of online services". The wikipedia definition seems good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media

> Most of them were ludicrous for reasons that were obvious at the time, and apply equally to social media:

It seems post facto to conclude that they were obviously ludicrous at the time. Perhaps with hindsight it seems as ludicrous as a belief in alchemy in the middle ages, but it wasn't obvious that you couldn't turn lead into gold before we had chemistry. In the Web 2.0 era lots of smart people thought social media could make the world better. I raised money and founded a "social media" startup expressly thinking it would empower people, and many of my peers in that world were equally earnest.
Who decides what's exploitation? Me? You? The drivers? Uber? The court system? Who may be right or wrong?
Experts vs Elites are made-up categories. More categories can be arbitrarily created. For example, Experts vs Elites vs Workers. Or Experts vs Elites vs Workers vs Long-term unemployed.

I haven't seen solid evidence for splitting the world in such categories. It definitely makes for entertaining demagoguery but not much more.

Such categories also completely exclude the concept of time from the analysis. It's like trying to judge a movie from a single random screenshot.

I.e. a person might be a worker today, expert in 3 years, and later suffer from depressive symptoms and be chronically unemployed.

I for sure agree with this, but why should OpenAI be the judge and jury for what is and isn't acceptable with this model?
They forget to say that obedient AI is a greater danger: having an obedient AI a relatively small group of people can wield an arbitrarily large power and thus achieve freedom from social norms.

This is only partly true. One of the problems with almost all cattle pastures, even those that do 100% pasture-raised beef, is that cattle are like all animals and they have habits and preferences, so they tend to congregate in the same areas day after day, nearby the watering tub or under the shade tree, which means their urine and poop are concentrated in small areas.

One Regenerative Farming's emphasis, widely practiced on many high-quality grassfarms across America, but pioneered on Kiwi sheep farms, is the regular, constant movement of cattle. Whereas most cattle operations in the USA have some kind of rotational grazing system, it tends to be larger pastures with the livestock inside for very long periods of time. What this causes is a large amount of waste of the animal byproducts--the pee and poop are concentrated and oxidized by the sun and wasted. What the Kiwis pioneered was using temporary electrical fencing and frequent movement of the animals, alongside "intensive pasture management" (the management is the intensive part--carefully monitoring the sward and keeping it at optimal growing height--grass growth rates follow a sigmoid function, so if you graze too low, it takes a long time to grow back, but if you graze to just above the peak growth height, it regenerates much more quickly), allows higher stocking rates, lower environment impact, increased carbon sequestration, and many further benefits.

There's an excellent book about this called Greener Pasture on Your Side of the Fence (https://www.amazon.com/Greener-Pasture-Your-Fence-Management...) that goes over the history of this practice.

It takes more labour. Sometimes you move the cows daily, occasionally twice a day, rather than once a month or whatever. But the impact on local ecology is fantastic. Plus, if you move chickens into the pasture after the cows, they help spread the manure, eat all the fly larvae out of the patties, and act as a natural antibiotic (who needs a depreciating piece of farm equipment to spread all that poop when you can use appreciating livestock?).

The remaster devs were very careful at only improving AI in "safe" ways, understanding full well that the original game was designed for a resource-advantaged AI.

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-08-10-the-command-an...

> This became even more evident, because there are a couple things we did try and fix. A good example of this is, there's a bug in the game where when the AI uses an airstrike against you, especially in the Nod campaign, the code stated it would always target the top-left enemy in the map. And so, people discovered this and what they would often do is they would just leave a single minigunner up at the top-left of the map and the AI would always waste their airstrike on that minigunner.

> Well, we we heard that bug from the community, and we're like, oh, we should fix that because obviously that wasn't intended. That was a bug, a miss-programmed thing. And so we fixed it. But we didn't really understand what the ripple effects of that were going to be. And once we released the game, we started getting reports of the Nod missions becoming incredibly difficult because the AI was now optimally using their airstrike and taking out key base structures, taking out your commandos so you would lose the mission entirely.

> All these things happened because we unleashed the AI to now be a lot wiser. And we're still tackling that issue. It's taken us two months to undo the impacts of that change. So, you just think about, okay, what if we had fixed the sandbag exploit? And now, in all these missions, wherever there's sandbag walls the AI knows how to deal with them. It would have dramatically changed the feel and the balance of all those missions.

---------

They "improved" the airstrike AI, but then they had to self-nerf the improvements, to make the campaigns easier again. They felt like they truly had to get rid of the "target top-left soldier" glitch and truly target strong units across the map... but they still didn't make it "smart enough" to target say... your command center (leading to probably a game-over condition).

The AI in the remasters target high-priority units (commandos, Temple of Nod / Nuclear launch Capabilities, and/or GDI's Orbital Cannon). So it sucks to see your endgame units one-shot. But you can at least rebuild them and continue the game (compared to if you lost your command center. Basically all hope is lost if that happens)

As a meat eater, I don't think there are too many serious challenges outside of religious beliefs to the ethical arguments for veganism. Mammals at least are clearly as sentient about survival and their kin as we are. But that doesn't mean we can't accept that their suffering is worth it for our gustatory pleasure. I could accept a world where I simply have to pay more for meat to spare the horrors of factory farming, but I have no personal problem with humane-intentioned husbandry and slaughter.
I'm having trouble parsing your sentence. You're annoyed and resentful of yourself or of the vegans?
I did quit Facebook for about 6 months. What made me login after that period of inactivity was to find information on a local forest fire that was threatening my house. It was and is the best source of up to date information for that.
> Unpopular opinion around here: teachers aren't underpaid, they are drastically overpaid given the utter lack of results they produce.

Teachers tend to be paid less than an assistant manager at a Walmart. And require a master's degree.

Meanwhile, if you want different results, have teacher's judged differently. Right now, they're judged based on how well the worst performers in their class do. Of course they're going to focus on bringing up the rear.
You can choose when and where to work. Most businesses don't have pricing power. There's a market price. They can charge more or less sure but in theory there's a market clearing price, and anything above/below that price will yield suboptimal returns. You're romanticizing the discretion individual businesses have.

I wonder how long it will be before someone breeds a miniature cow like those mini pigs you sometimes hear about.
There’s nothing particularly natural about the steaks, burgers, nuggets or fillets you eat: even aside the cooking (quite possibly humanity’s first invention), they are the product of many generations of selective breeding by humans, specifically to maximise value (including taste as a subset) for resource cost (including farmland and time as inputs).

And then you have all of the seasoning, for example KFC’s “secret” herbs and spices are from basically all over the planet.
speaking of take down notices...

I don't know the full details, but as a point of interest, the Ig Nobel awards was a project at MIT, and after a dispute between the editor, Marc Abrahams, and MIT, he claimed to own the intellectual property rights and MIT dropped it and he moved it to Harvard where he is an alum.

here from "The Tech" http://tech.mit.edu/V115/N48/ignobel.48n.html

"Legal rift takes awards from MIT

For the past four years, the Ig Nobel prizes were awarded at MIT, by the Journal of Irreproducible Results and its successor, the Annals of Improbable Research. However, a legal dispute that arose between the MIT Museum - the publisher of AIR - and its editor, Marc Abrahams, caused the ceremony to be moved from MIT to Harvard.

Abrahams and the MIT Museum produced AIR for a year without a contract between them, but the museum wanted to create another organization to publish the magazine because handling the AIR required too much effort from the museum staff, said Warren A. Seamans, director of the MIT Museum.

Last March, contract negotiations broke down, and Abrahams claimed sole control of AIR. To avoid a lawsuit, MIT abandoned the magazine and the Ig Nobel prizes."

Yes, Scrapy is quite a good scraper technology for some features, especially caching, but for some websites it's like doing things the hard way...

The easiest scraper with a proxy rotator I've found is in my current fave web-automator, scraper scripter and scheduler:
Rtila [1]

Created by an indy/solo developer-on-fire cranking out user-requested features quite quickly... check the releases page [2]

I have used (or at least trialled) the vast majority of scraper-tech and written hundreds of scrapers since my first VB5 controlling IE then dumping to SQLserver in the 90's and then moving to various php and python libs/frameworks and a handful of windows apps like ubot and imacros (both of which were useful to me at some point but I never use those nowadays)

A recent release of Rtila allows creating standalone bots you can run using it's built-in local Node.js server (which also has it's own locally hosted server API you can program anything else against using any language you like)

> Because why else would they spend tons of engineering time and money on interviewing people with zero intent to actually hire anyone.

Not so much zero intent, but I see groups who keep job postings open for ages just perpetually holding out for that perfect unicorn that doesn't actually exist and can't exist (you know, the person who has 20 years experience in low-level kernel development but is also a UI design god and a full-time devops guru on the side; I exagerate but only slightly).

So technically they can claim shortage of experts, can't hire anyone. But meanwhile the team continues operating just fine for years even though this magical person can never be found.

So to those job postings, I consider them essentially fake. They just inflate the count of positions that can't be filled by a position that never will be filled.
and let's not forget that not having a religion is a religious freedom.

I think the "wham!" battery bill is an outlier for telsas. It's more normal to have a gradual range degradation. I've seen cars with > 300k on the odometer that work fine.
I recently gave a friend my old PC, I installed Windows, updated it then did a factory reset so they could go through the first run setup themselves. Watching them set the machine up and blindly agreeing to all telemetry without even blinking really opened my eyes to how much "normal" people dont care about telemetry.

The great irony here is that we - technical people - have done this to ourselves. We opt out of telemetry (as we should IMO) as a default so out usage patterns never get sent to the mothership. So of course Windows gets dumbed down, options disappear, and the OS gets targeted at the normal folk.

I have no horse in this race to be fair as a linux user but I do find it amusing.

It sounded like NSO group just considers loosing zero days like this a cost of doing business.

There seemed to be an implication that they have a war chest of these exploits and expect them to each get burnt after a certain amount of usage.
As they say, science fiction doesn’t predict the future, it just communicates what present people think about the future.

The “future generations will look back at us in horror” and “we’re on the Right Side of history” are both nonsensical positions that have zero historical basis and function more as a religious eschatology than as a serious scientific prediction.
Our 3 kids have gone in and out of homeschool at all different ages. We generally left the choice up to them. Our youngest decided to homeschool through high school and is studying computer science at Georgia Tech now.

In the lower grades, the biggest issue is the parent/child dynamics. When things are going badly, do they spin each other up or can the parent keep things calm. If you spin each other up, homeschool is not for you.

In the higher grades, parents need to know their limitations and bring in experts when needed.

Personally, I adored homeschooling my children.
Picking nits is fine, but this seems like an irrelevant nit. Like I at least get the argument about calling Linux GNU/Linux, even if I don’t care… but this one, I’m not sure why anyone would care.
I've spent a lot of time talking about art with art friends. At this point, we've all seem to agree on three different aspects of art:

1. Non-random uniqueness / creativity. Even is something is lame, originality alone can constitute art. (e.g. weird, uncomfortable stuff)

2. Story. The context or meaning behind a thing can take something done before and make it new again. (e.g I made a rubber band ball for my ex-lover...)

3. Skill. Something can be totally derivative and bland, but if it's really hard to do.. the act of doing becomes the art. (e.g. high-quality muzak)

One thing not in this list is "familiarity." Even though familiarity is most humans favorite thing. Familiarity is actually a major aspect of what defines popular media.

I find that mash-ups lean really hard on the positive connotations of familiarity.

Tesla didn't just go to AutoZone and pick up some brake calipers and pads. Tesla sent a specification to that third party, and they probably should have specified that the brake pistons don't seize in the calipers if the duty cycle is quite light.
Entrepreneur A creates a company with a very labor-intensive business plan. He eventually hires 1 million low-wage blue collar workers, all of whom preferred working for him over their next best alternative. His company earns $1 billion in annual profits.

Entrepreneur B creates a company specifically designed to require minimal labor. He hires only a small number of workers, mostly high-earning and white collar professionals. His company earns $1 billion in annual profits.

I would argue that both entrepreneurs should be equally obligated to support the social safety net. And both companies should be taxed equally to fund the social safety net. Imposing higher taxes and obligations onto entrepreneur A and his company, is a perverse way of punishing entrepreneurs for pursuing labor-intensive business models which create more job opportunities for low-wage workers. If anything, we should be doing the opposite.
