I mean you can make metaphors between plants and animals all you want, but they break down if you even sort of think about them.

Every monstera and fiddle leaf that is kept indoors is a juvenile plant that will not get the chance to reach sexual maturity.

Under your framework, That’s the equivalent of starving an animal so much that it stunts it’s growth.

I can cut leaves off of a kale plant to eat without killing it. Under your framework, surgically amputating an animals leg and eating that meat would be equivalent.

Plants don’t have consciousness in the way animals do (in fact they are much closer in sensory responsiveness to the bacteria you kill every time you move).

I would seriously ask yourself why you are anthropomorphizing plants if you are making your arguments in good faith. Being able to understand what warrants empathy and what doesn’t is an important life skill.
If you're curious about XPS support in general, I use Arch and force S3 on my 9380 [1] and it works fine, also slightly worse battery when sleeping than ideal (loses about 5-10% in 24 hours, or so), but fine.

Arthur Jensen was himself from UC Berkeley. That alone should have made the place a psychometry powerhouse.
I don't think you have to worry here. The people who take the SAT are a minority. We need to stop thinking everyone takes the SAT. It is not valid. This policy benefits the people who take the SAT, which is likely a minority of students.
Strongly disagree. I have many examples where unions are the political force that is part of the (anti consumer / anti citizen) lobby; even stronger than the company's management sometimes. It's a bit naive to think just because the unions serve employees they are some a force that cares about the common good.

(They also do not always serve employees well. Same as every elected authority does not always do a good job and often invovle a self-serving small circle).

It seems like a 'simple' case of using SMS codes as a single factor. If it is enough for a password reset, it's a single factor.

It seems to me that SMS codes are much more often abused like this than other second factors are.
That's not quite fair. In the East there were actually many different streams of development.

And the Soviet space program didn't really slow down. They would continue to make great engines and launch great rockets. In no way can it be said that they lost 'the edge'.

What failed was the moon program, but its not at all clear that Korolev being alive would have changed that.

The Soviet still ended up building the second most powerful rocket ever. They built engines that were way better then anything the US did (RS-25 might be the exception but it was outrageously expensive). The Soviets also built pretty cool nuclear engines as well. In the 90s US engineers went over to Russia and literally didn't believe the engine specs they were being told. Some of the things they did was considered impossible in the West.

Keep your eye on the 'Everyday Astronaut' channel on Youtube. He will soon release an insane 1.5h video about Soviet rocket engines. Its insanely detailed and long and well researched. I was able to see it because of Patreon, but it should be public in a week or two.
Romanian here, mostly the same age as yours, humour greatly helped us during the last years of Ceausescu's regime, when things were becoming really rough (power cuts in the middle of winter, food rationing etc.). I'll leave one of the (dark) jokes in here just for the sake of history:

> There's a funeral procession on the street just outside Bulă's house (Bulă was the eponymous hero of almost all our jokes back then) and Bulă and his mother could hear the grieving lady crying from outside:

> "Where do you go, my beloved husband? Why do you have to go where it's eternally dark and cold?"

> Bulă, to his mother: "Mom, quick, lock the doors! They're bringing that guy over here to stay with us!"

It still cracks me up to this day thinking about that joke, even though the cold (especially the cold) was a very difficult thing to negotiate as a kid.

We also used to have jokes with a Russian scientist, an American scientist and a Romanian (didn't really matter if he was a scientist or not), in the end the Romanian was always getting the better of the other two (that sort of joke is alluded to in the text, with the Russian scientist doing something bad to a snake in Los Alamos).

> Before the 1900s, how many banks lasted more than a hundred years?

Lots of banks. Honestly, I have a hard time finding a bank that is large today that were created in the 1900s. Most seems to come from 1700s and early 1800s.

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

I think the biggest reason you don't see more banks is that the concept of a bank is fairly novel, and they exploded in popularity with the printing press and industrialization. World war 1 and 2 didn't end these big banks, and if they can survive those then they can survive most things.
> The dexterity required to only press the key (roughly) half way to the actuation point is just as strenuous

You don't have to only press the key to the actuation point, you have to press it at least to it. You can then stop anywhere between that point and the bottom, which is easier to do with long travel keys.

In my experience this works best with lighter keys (requiring less force). I found this out when messing around with a cheaper mechanical keyboard[0] by realising that I had just stopped pressing the keys all the way. I wasn't even looking to "type better" or whatever, I was just curious about all the mech hype and was trying one out.

Getting back to membrane keyboards, in my case a 2013 MBP, was actually painful because the keys actually require more force to move past the rest position, but they then become very soft, so all the force becomes speed which then stops all of a sudden when I hit the bottom. To me, it's practically impossible to not bottom out the MBP keyboard because of the short travel. Also, since I got used to pressing the keys with too little force, I find I actually miss a lot of the keys, which had never happened before.

After 20 Years of Failure, Kill the TSA
IDK about Hungary, but Czechoslovakia executed almost 200 people for political crimes within a relatively short timespan of true Stalinism (1948-1953). Hundreds more were shot at the border trying to escape, or killed in concentration camps mining and processing uranium ore without any protective gear etc. Thousands survived the camps with health undermined.

Many of those were members of the intelligentsia. An average escapee with an academic title was likely to know at least a few victims by name.

It wasn't hard to hate the perpetrators genuinely.
This is closer to what I meant, but a few things I feel I should clarify:

- I am an immigrant, ethnically Asian (Indian), and moved to the US from Asia (China)

- The 'Asians are overrepresented' meme isn't targeted at _immigrants_, but at Asians, regardless of birthplace. When I meet Asians who went to UC, they were usually born in California.

- When people decide to implement racial quotas (or policies that allow them to effect racial quotas without calling them racial quotas), they necessarily decide not to treat each person as an individual. Each person becomes just a 'representative' of some racial group.
Any physical jurisdiction? Probably not.

Digital “jurisdictions” like Twitter are starting to support displaying “verified” NFTs though: https://cointelegraph.com/news/bragging-rights-twitter-previ...

The next step in the chain is OpenSea, which sounds like they will enforce real world copyrights: https://support.opensea.io/hc/en-us/articles/4404423595667-H...

So basically Twitter is outsourcing copyright enforcement via NFTs. Which actually doesn’t sound totally useless, but could also be done without a blockchain.

Now, when many content displayers (websites, games, multiverses, etc) outsource their copyright enforcement to multiple copyright-enforcers maybe using the blockchain starts making more sense.
I guess we aren't talking about the same humanities majors. Most of my friends from Berkeley who are history or humanities majors are lawyers, academics, or doctors (yes, many of the humanities became doctors). They don't really seem to care about the money even though we as engineers seem they should care. Or they had to go through additional layer of study which depresses their true value.
Probably, but it'll be vastly too expensive for most folks. I imagine the construction costs are greater than devices that use the stairwell due to design and anyone that lives in a rental or otherwise cannot do the construction are out of luck.

I am surprised this is rare in the Valley; very much common among folks in South Asia starting up medium to small scale business.
How do you make this work with a project you don't control?

I think they solve different problems. It doesn’t seem to me like the woman in the video would’ve been able to get upstairs as quickly or even at all, with the assistep. Especially moving upstairs with it seems very dangerous if there is a chance that your feet don’t do what you want them to.

Side note: “upstairs” is a great word that shows how ingrained stairs are in our lives as a means to move up or down. The Vertiwalk people have really thought outside of the box. Very cool.

I made fun of server people touting serverless as if that wasn't saying I'm useless, hire me. It's like the cloud, which is speshul. You're running your servers in my data center, but that sounds correctly like we own your ass now... so let's add a layer of abstraction and call it a cloud. Oh cloud is overused, let's add another layer of abstraction and call it serverless, my aren't we clever. I build serverless clouds when I fart, the best clouds.
Note that, in this case, the SMS code is not a second factor. It is a single factor that is enough to get full control of the account.

Besides that, I think you are right. Binding 'signatures' to what you are authorizing is one of the ways to prevent your authorization from being re-used. There are parallels in cryptography where you sign not just data but also what it will be used for.
Otherwise an attacker might reuse your signature.
> No workflow that I'm aware of ever has you read a one-time code to a human, it only ever goes into a text field

If I place a large wire with my bank, they text me a code and ask me to read it back to them. Granted, I will only do that if I initiated the call.

My two favorite quotes:

> But the Homeland Security Red Teams in the 2015 test actively concealed forbidden items just as real criminals and terrorist would. The result was that "TSA agents failed 67 out of 70 tests, with Red Team members repeatedly able to get potential weapons through checkpoints."

> What the TSA is good at is high-visibility groping, scanning, and confiscating. Making people drop their pants, take off their shoes, and surrender their shampoo annoys people in a way that says "we're doing something" without actually accomplishing anything. It's what Schneier calls "security theater."

I doubt automatic braking would help a t-bone situation. Do you have evidence of this?

Meanwhile, any driver worth his salt should be checking cross traffic when nearing any intersection. I've avoided several accidents by examining potential cross traffic at intersections.

Accident avoidance should be drivers ed 101, but for some reason, especially in these conversations, no one seems to know how to look for and avoid potential accidents.

Dunno about that one but if you like that sort of thing, check out Rebol.
The scammers get you panicked and hold you in that state so that you're stressed out and not thinking rationally.

They also exploit a small slip up and escalate it into a catastrophic one. For example the scam might start with the assumption that caller ID is accurate, or the assumption that because there is fraud on your account the person is actually from the "fraud department", or the assumption that hanging up a landline terminates the call.

Each of those are small slipups, but they get people bought into the fiction, and then as the scam escalates they don't stop and think through the sequence and realise that the initial assumption was flawed.

A seatbelt is a safety mechanism.

You missed my point, which upon reflection, isn't surprising.

Do you even know what Eric's referencing in his tweet re: Gated Institutional Narrative or GIN for short? It's a concept he's spoken out about in detail before. I'm guessing you don't or his tweet would make more sense to you. But there is a community of people around him who value and understand what he says, learning from him as well, even so much so as creating a wiki for his concepts - theportal.wiki - and specifically here's GIN for you: https://theportal.wiki/wiki/Gated_Institutional_Narrative_(G...

He's also coined DISC for Distributed Idea Suppression Complex - look it up.

Are you able to understand either of these concepts for what he's pointing to? If no then perhaps it's just not an inherent capability you have with how your intelligence is structured - that's a possibility outside of Eric being a kook - but requires one to be humble in their limitations.

It doesn't seem like you do understand him. He's not fear mongering or spreading paranoia, he's shining a light on corruption and its inner workings, highlighting oddities. It's actually the opposite of what you say, it's empowering to know - knowledge is power - in fact it may be you who's fearful, paranoid, and worrying and projecting that.

NFTs are obviously a bit silly, BUT, it would be nice if things bought on platforms like Steam, Roblox, Amazon, iTunes etc. were transferable to other games/platforms.

The platform providers would still need to agree that a specific blockchain / NFT is actually the source of truth, and so it's not really trustless. But the internet itself isn't perfectly decentralized either. I could see a future where developers could enable web3 support in their games/apps and allow importing assets, identities etc. between platforms, which would be nice.
You can hardly teach a large part of the population how to drive a car and use the indicators when switching lanes. How can you expect to be able to teach them security processes?

The only working approach would be to make a law that phone companies must ensure that caller numbers cannot be spoofed in any way and make them responsible for loses due to spoofed numbers.

And require that banks publish which phone numbers they call customers from (like spf is for email), and do so in a format that mobiles can use. So the mobile can show the customer "this is really your bank" or "unknown caller".

I’m sure there are cases where this is absolutely the truth of the situation, but from my personal experience it was obviously a conscious decision. My father basically spent as much time as possible away from his family doing things, work and hobbies. It’s pretty clear to me now as an adult. People can make time, it’s just not a priority to them.

Of course we have extremely little in common now so I rarely talk to him. I have better things to do. That is a conscious decision. It has consequences.

Tying a copyright license (at least non exclusive) to the NFT transfer sounds not that far fetched. It would be a little bit tricky to make that work globally but you could probably do that as well.

The question is would courts accept it as a valid contacts and how to enforce them. How would NFT prevent infringement (aka mme creating the latest bansky NFT)?

Printing presses became popular about 500 years ago, any large scale organization was really hard to run before then as there was no cheap and easy way to create and distribute large amounts of information.
Which puts it on the same order of magnitude as the number of people on the planet. If every person alive generated a schema (or if 1/100th of all people generate 100 IDs each like you) then we'd have a small number of collisions. More likely you'd get large numbers of schema like that if there's a widespread application of a protocol compiler that generates new schema programmatically, e.g. to achieve domain separation, and then is applied at scale. I'm not saying that's likely, just that it is not, as is claimed, inconceivable.
