I think I'm being trolled! What a hoot.:) However, litigation isn't persuasive. I'm glad to have struck a nerve, because I get to read final boss level arguments that I still think reduce to backbiting, envy, and nihilism, but this fundamental and probably irreconcilable level of disagreement on principle is too meta and off topic for us to have here.

One hopes you will one day use your powers for good. See you in battle!

One interesting technology used in phytoremediation for accumulated heavy metals in soils: plants.

Many plants are known as "hyperaccumulators" of various metals. Medicago sativa (Alfalfa) and Dittrichia viscosa (Yellow Fleabane) for example were found to be suitable for mercury phytoremidiation in a study[1]. Lichen and mosses may also be suitable for above-ground bioaccumulation of mercury[2]

You can't act as an "automated market maker" in traditional finance, I'll give you that (to pick one example of something possible in DeFi).

What I really mean is what can do you in DeFi that is connected with the real world? In other words, what can you do other that doesn't fall into the category of using your money to make more money with no effect on the material world?

Examples of things that traditional finance enables that connect to the real world:

- Get a student loan (you get an education)

- Get a car loan (you get a car)

- Get a home loan (you get a house)

- Insure your car or home (perhaps including insurance in finance is a bit broad, but I think it's appropriate)

- Have some claim on the future cash flows of a company that makes real things (public equities)

Obviously traditional finance isn't some bastion of providing "real world" value and resistance to over-financialization. But DeFi seems like pure financialization so far. I suppose the first step is to enable payments (arguably the definition of money is a payment system), but it doesn't seem like that has caught on very much either.

Almost a year ago, nih.gov wrote about a study, 'Ivermectin is an FDA-approved broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent with demonstrated antiviral activity against a number of DNA and RNA viruses, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).'

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7539925/

Over one year ago, Nature said ivermectin has antiviral properties. 'It is highly effective against many microorganisms including some viruses.'

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41429-020-0336-z

Literature says Ivermectin has antiviral properties. It is cheap and has few side effects. It appears to be safe and useful enough to be used as a prophylactic for those who suspect they have been exposed to the virus.

> There are so many encrypted messaging apps now but none has the feature-parity and convenience of Telegram.

Perhaps because Telegram's servers store and have access to the entire message history (except for secret chats, that are very limited in features compared with both Signal and WhatsApp), and this really helps a lot when synchronizing among devices and managing groups -- all at cost of security and privacy. They also can selectively remove groups, and recently did it, so there is not a theoretical problem anymore.

Remember: they have all the information and can use it for anything once they turn evil (I call it "being bitten by a radioactive Zuckerberg").

That's who I aspire to be, but my batting average isn't that fabulous, maybe .200, and it's really difficult to sell to people, because you have to catch it right on the cusp of being a recognizable problem.

So people are inherently skeptical, and by the time it becomes obvious that they need some outside heavy hitter, it's too late for that strategy to be effective.

I'd really like to systematize it, to be known as the solution for that kind of problem, but that's a different skillset than actually solving the problem, of course.
I’m not particularly familiar with CRDTs but it sounds like you’d need to define a semigroup no?
I think "consciousness" is such a fuzzy term that talking about is at best premature when we are still trying to understand more fundamental things which underlie cognition, such as how human (or mice) memory works, or how the "cognitive maps" which drive spatial navigation generalize to navigation in abstract "concept spaces", how these "concepts" are represented, or how networks of neurons communicate and synchronize for particular tasks, or just figuring out what exactly are those "tasks", the basic computational primitives of adaptation in "lower" animals and insects, let alone humans.

While scientific reductionism has its limitations (e.g. trying to fully describe the complexity of a single neuron in c.elegans is sort of a rabbit hole) you still have to understand at least some of the basic mechanisms, the "LEGO blocks" of cognition, before talking about such higher level of abstraction, especially when it's so ill-defined.

I think Feynman' definition of "cargo cult science" is appropriate here, where we are trying to explain our perception of reality via superficial "neural correlates", or attaching to it these arbitrary "complexity theories", etc., without understanding the fundamental driving factors, mechanics and constraints of perception, the "why" and "how" first.

What? Your asserting against things that are plainly true today. Like I understand not believing that sharing equity is a good incentive, but literally denying the current day reality is just weird. Maybe some dissonance going on.

A lot of people definitely are not happy with existing platforms, and they very much understand getting paid for their contribution vs not. All your replies are essentially “sorry that’s ridiculous” so there’s not much for me to reply to here.

Argue why trust isn’t worthwhile or isn’t plausible, don’t argue that it doesn’t exist or somehow isn’t understandable especially without reasoning.

Almost all of them look exactly the same as petrol or diesel cars. Sometimes the grill looks different as they don't need air-cooling. Is that a big deal?
The only problem I remember was damage to the hydraulic suspension when the truck rolled backwards into a rock. I don't believe they ever explained if that was due to driver error or mechanical failure, but the absence of an explanation led me to believe it was probably the latter. They weren't shy about pointing out driver error in other situations.

A bigger issue for me was the fact that the trucks completely disappeared when they hit (IIRC) Central America. They loaded the bikes into a bus and drove them across Mexico (which didn't speak well of the Harleys either).

All that said I still reserved one.
The embedded market using custom silicon is by far the shipment volume and dollar value leader. That's why that's what RISC-V vendors have been concentrating on at first.

The part of the embedded market that uses off the shelf chips may have more designs, but they are each low volume enough that they are dominated by engineering time (and thus employ more engineers, who are vocal online) not by saving a few cents on an MCU that doesn't have the instruction you want.

The packaging and testing and stocking costs of a chip with nothing more than a generic MCU inside it are such a high proportion of the cost compared to the actual die that it would be silly to leave any available low silicon cost extensions out, unless done for monopolistic market segmentation reasons e.g. you can't buy a Cortex M0+ with an FPU at any price because ARM would prefer to sell you an M4F for much more money.

The RISC-V market with many vendors with many cores is not prone to such artificial market segmentation.

If you want the equivalent of an M0 (short pipe, no cache, no branch prediction etc) but with an FPU or with 64 bits or with a vector unit then RISC-V vendors say "sure, no problem".

This reminds me of a chemistry experiment our teacher ran where we put dry ice in a sealed plastic container so that as it warmed, it would increase the pressure which would let us see some of the co2 in liquid form (under pressure dry ice will go from solid -> liquid rather than solid -> gas).

Halfway through class we figured out if we put enough in the plastic container, it would create little dry ice bombs that would explode due to the pressure. So we started doing that and tossing it at people around the room.

The problem is that the only real solution is a lot more extreme. I think once women are pregnant they go into managed care and babies are immediately taken at birth into academies (with no knowledge of parents) until adulthood. But that will never happen. Unfortunately short of that we’re likely to never have real equality.

Experts do disagree with one another often enough... unless they're all in the pay of a single interest group or our filter bubbles prevent us from seeing the experts on one side of the disagreement. You might not think either of those is happening, but if you trust the experts first how would you know if the former was happening? And wouldn't removing people make the latter failure scenario more likely?
Sure get a black in. Then a brown in. Then a LGBTQ in. Then a woman in. Majority consumers don't give a damn how diversify those companies are. Only the most competitives survive.

China will reward them handsomely when they go over bringing tons of companies secret. Save a black killed thousands jobs. Save a penny pound foolish.
> on the whole Haskell is surprisingly fast for its expressivity

I don't know if I would call it "surprisingly" fast. It is plenty fast, but it's a language that's AOT and these languages are usually quite fast, faster than most JIT'd and interpreted languages. Looking at the programming languages benchmark games and the techempower web framework benchmark, Haskell is around Java and Go. Which means that it can compete against the most advanced JIT and a reasonably good AOT, while being more expressive than both. That sounds reasonable to me. I may be underestimating what it takes to make something like Haskell fast though.

> I can go unvaccinated against polio, tetanus, hepatitis, measles and mumps,

Misleading: 90.8% of infants aged 24 months are vaccinated against e.g measles, mumps, and rubella, so a mandate generally isn't required because herd immunity has already been reached. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/measles.htm

> but if I refuse this one mRNA shot for a virus with a 0.2% IFR

Most recent research lands it anywhere from 0.37% to 0.90% based on various factors specific per country. (Preprint) https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.12.21256975v...

> that doesn’t stop transmission

But it does slow it by reducing breakthrough infections and reducing the window of transmission. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/07/29/world/covid-delta-va...

> and requires boosters every few months,

Booster isn't required, effectiveness is still 85+% for the mRNA vaccines, even against delta. https://www.healthline.com/health-news/heres-how-well-covid-...

> I can’t go to public spaces

Public spaces aren't barricaded to unvaccinated people anywhere in the US currently, and given that people have failed to contribute to minimizing transmission, it's unlikely we'll have those kinds of lockdowns in the future. Spaces owned by private institutions or organizations may be, but most are asking for masks in line with CDC Delta guidelines.

> and may lose my job?

May indeed, depending on various conditions including the desires of the employer. The OSHA regulation is the only one that might be questionable, but OSHA also regulates events with lower fatality rates than covid, so this may well be in scope for them too.

> In February 2007, a petition for rulemaking was filed with the FCC by Skype, requesting the FCC to apply the Carterfone regulations to the wireless industry—which would mean that OEMs, portals and others will be able to offer wireless devices and services without the cellular operators needing to approve the handsets. However, on April 1, 2008, FCC chairman Kevin Martin indicated that he would oppose Skype's request.

The application owner gives up control to a secondary market for no gain. They'd do better to simply buy and sell directly, and maintain full pricing control. They already control scarcity, they don't need some other mechanism.

Meanwhile there is very little incentive for some other application to use those same tokens when their value is contingent on the whims of the original issuer. You're tightly coupling your business and liability to some other party who hasn't made any guarantees, promises or agreements to you. Its a can of legal problems.

Ultimately is like trading Apple gift cards, Pre-loaded debit cards, phone cards etc - its an abstraction in which then value of the token will only ever be less than the cash paid for it up-front, and most people trading them have some other reason for taking the hit (ie money laundering, fraud, etc)

What you need to know about Filecoin – Part 1
The CFR is more biased and expected to be higher because it measures fatality based on observed cases rather than the total population of infections. The IFR for COVID-19 is commonly estimated to be below 1%, and closer to 0.6%. I haven’t seen a measure as low as 0.2% for the whole population, but the IFR for those under 50 is really low, so if you exclude seniors (above 65) it is a reasonable estimate.
Improved standards may help some, but that’s not the real issue. If I, a virologist, enter a remote cave system that no other human would likely ever enter specifically looking for an undiscovered virus to study, I have already tipped the scales significantly to the likelihood that the unknown virus will infect humans by a huge scale over nature.

Then, by experimentation, I make said virus even more infectious or deadly…I have even further increased that likelihood of it infecting humans by a huge factor.

Then, by performing that experiment in an area with a dense 11M population, I have further increased that likelihood of human transmission so far beyond where it was when that virus sat in that remote cave and had a unlikely path to humans.

So you better hope like hell that your lab security is bulletproof, because you have removed virtually every layer of protection that nature has provided us humans from the bug.
