I completely agree with you that shame works. I think people who pretend that shame changes nothing haven't been to Asia. But the world has already shamed these people as much as any group can be shamed in current year; there's not really any higher level of shame that can be given out at this point. The ones remaining are unaffected by shame.

So I'm not saying your plan is ineffective, I'm saying your plan was already executed and finished. That's why we're at 80-something percent instead of what it would have been.

My understanding is that it's not as total as insulin deficiency and of course that the function is not as critical has caused it to go largely unnoticed.
The hope was that consumer adoption would be more broad and people would have little incentive to keep their money in silos/banks because the security offered by regular wallets would be enough. In a world where most businesses accept crypto directly banks would be relegated to their proper function: facilitating loans.

Consumer adoption was going pretty well until the technical hurdles were hit. Each blockchain handled it in a different way, but the poster child of crypto, Bitcoin, is still seen today as expensive to transact and impractical for consumer adoption. When Ethereum got more popular in the last years due to the NFT boom the same thing happened to them. You can't reasonably market the "be your own bank" narrative when each transaction costs $25 regardless of the amount being transacted. Lightning is an interesting alternative but after 5 years it's still impractical to use for regular consumers and if you look under the hood anyone saying they're "using lightning" is actually using a custodial wallet that just has a coat of Lightning paint on top of it. Bitcoin Cash increased their blocksize to reduce transaction fees, but since they are a minority chain the lackluster adoption means it's not widely available for commerce.

Probably the biggest flaw in the entire "be your own bank" concept was underestimating how little people care about privacy. I mean, they claim to care and they get "outraged" whenever XYZ company gets caught harvesting their data without their consent or whatever, but in the end they don't actually care and happily will fork it over for a few pennies worth of goodies. Maybe there is a future where privacy becomes more important to consumers, but for now if you tell most anyone that their bank is looking at all their transactions and selling that data to someone their answers will range from "don't care" to "make some regulation" - neither of which really seem to move the needle or solve anything.

With regards to where to have discussions: I don't know. I have unsubbed from every subreddit and forum that primarily covers crypto. They are mostly all echo chambers now that just try to rally the troops against whatever they perceive their "enemy" or practice sketchy censorship and misinformation. A part of me doesn't really like "giving up" like this because it's well known there are many actors in the space that are actively trying to disrupt and manipulate the conversation, but at the same time I only have limited time on this rock and would prefer to do things I enjoy.

Octopi is not the correct plural. Octopus is of greek origin, not latin. Thus, its greek plural is octopodes. And thus, since we don't tend to use greek plurals in english, the other proper plural is octopuses.

Octopi is what's known as a hypercorrection. "A hypercorrection is non-standard use of language that results from the over-application of a perceived rule of language-usage prescription. A speaker or writer who produces a hypercorrection generally believes through a misunderstanding of such rules that the form is more "correct", standard, or otherwise preferable, often combined with a desire to appear formal."[1]

Now, you will find octopi in the dictionary, but only because so many people have engaged in this hypercorrection that it has become widespread and dictionaries reflect common usage.

This is a good step. I am a meat eater and I love eating meat, including all kinds of seafood. Even though I agree with all the ethical arguments against meat eating, I cannot bring myself to stop eating meat: it’s something I both grew up with and have a taste for.

Recently I’ve been switching my diet to eat more seafood when I crave meat (rather than land animals). Things like this will at least let me be better informed and nudge myself to eat less of the sentient beings. Lobsters are unfortunately too tasty to give up completely but it’s also not something I would eat daily anyways; most of my diet is salmon and sardines.
Octopi isn't the correct plural. See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29301946

I'm a type 1 diabetic. None of the examples mentioned truly replace the endocrine functions of the pancreas lost in the disease progression.

They do, however, use a sensor that measures blood glucose (fairly accurately) and a controller that estimates how much insulin to give (very crudely).

Maybe this seems unintuitive, but the bottleneck of these systems is not the hardware or the control algorithm, but rather the time it takes for the insulin to start "working" once injected.

In a normal situation, the pancreas secretes insulin directly into the hepatic portal vein and reaches peak concentration within minutes. When you inject insulin, depending on how good ($$$) it is, it can take anywhere from 2-4 hours to peak [1]. In technical terms, you have a closed loop controller with a very slow actuator, which severely limits how tight the control can be.

There is ongoing work to make faster insulins. But personally, I think the "cure" for type 1 diabetes will come from restoring the insulin-producing capabilities of pancreatic islets, or synthetically adding such capabilities to other highly vascularized tissues.

Also worth checking out is Tidepool, an organization trying to take an open source closed loop controller through FDA submission. https://www.tidepool.org/automated-insulin-dosing

The vegan argument is definitely a legitimate one, and not something I was trying to refute.

A lot of meat eaters have these strange ideas about what is and isn't cruel (the classic being "hunting is evil but eating farmed meat is totally OK"), ostensibly based on reducing unnecessary suffering but also completely devoid of hands-on understanding of what actually happens.

I will disagree with you on this point, though:

I've kept yabbies in a tank before as pets. They're absolutely metal creatures and will do things like rip the legs off of live rivals one by one, then slowly tear them apart over the course of hours. I saw one spear a fish wish its claw and pull its guts out too (as if unreeling a spool), just because it could. They're supposed to be herbivorous but damn can they be cold-hearted killers.

(Crabs are far more social, apparently, but I've not seen them interacting before).

I never said being anti-immigration is always about being anti-[race].

But, to quote Pauline Hanson's 1996 maiden speech to Parliament [0] (my emphasis):

> Immigration and multiculturalism are issues that this government is trying to address, but for far too long ordinary Australians have been kept out of any debate by the major parties. I and most Australians want our immigration policy radically reviewed and that of multiculturalism abolished. I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians. Between 1984 and 1995, 40 per cent of all migrants coming into this country were of Asian origin. They have their own culture and religion, form ghettos and do not assimilate. Of course, I will be called racist but, if I can invite whom I want into my home, then I should have the right to have a say in who comes into my country.

Some people's anti-immigration sentiments are not anti-[race], but Hanson's are. If it is a "weird thing to tie together", I am not the one doing the tying, Hanson did it herself. And virtually all Australians know her history, and know where she is coming from – no doubt Smith included – and Smith chose to publicly ally himself with her anti-immigration policy. If he'd expressed his anti-immigration position without choosing to publicly invoke her name, far fewer people would have accused him of racism and xenophobia.

You're forgetting the other half of SoftBank's strategy: that with a billion dollar cash injection, SoftBank could play kingmaker and decide the winners in any given market. SoftBank didn't just invest a billion dollars because they thought WeWork could win the market, they invested a billion dollars to make them the winners. Which SoftBank would then own the controlling stake of.

But, uh, yeah, turns out that didn't quite work. Turns out when you Silicon Valley tech executives a billion dollars, they don't really think too about long-term business plans. And a billion dollars dries up a lot faster than you think.

The essay "Consider the Lobster" by David Foster Wallace came to my mind. In that essay he describes how extraordinary the nervous system of a lobster is and how mindlessly and cruelly we boil them live. If David were still alive, he would definitely welcome this development. I really miss David. I am awestruck by his other essay "This is Water". I am amazed at his deep insights into human nature and how well he describes it, kindly.

Or, it was about spreading FUD before the election, the very same FUD they'll crucify you for today. (For the record I agree with the article. But the bias is clear given the context regarding when it was released.)

> The example given in the article is about vaccines with attenuated viruses and mRNA vaccines are not attenuated viruses which removes a whole bunch of safety issues, hence why these vaccines are the safest form of viral therapy that has been developed by biologists and virologists.

And, yet, what they all have in common is they're vaccines, made by human beings, who are not infallible. Hence the reticence by many in the general public, including myself, to rush to go get one. We're not really disagreeing here, but I'm giving you a window into the mind of those who aren't as quick to endorse an injection into their body as you are, or as I was after waiting half a year.
Those people aren't "bad", they're murderers.

No one here is arguing that it's OK for people to steal essential parts from cars, just that it's morally reprehensible to kill that person for doing it, if they aren't threatening your life.

Livelihood and life are separate things. In the situation someone gets fired for missing a day of work, you should be arguing against the ability for an employer to fire someone for something outside of their control, not for the ability to kill someone for a non-violent act.
I remember back in the old days we all thought that it wouldn't be long before computers and artificial intelligence would learn to do advanced science and reason about the world. But, we thought that things like art, that involve some unknown hidden 'human' or spiritual element, would be something machines might never be able to deliver.

I find it remarkable that it turned out to be the other way around. Turns out machines can do amazing art very easily. They are still nowhere near being able to replicate human intelligence though.

I guess it is because art and vision occur at such a deep level we aren't aware of it, so we used to not really understand how it worked. It's quite hard to build a machine that does something when you don't understand what it is. We built them anyway because apparently even though we didn't understand it, it wasn't very complicated compared to other tasks that we perform.

> Maybe I’ve read too much science fiction, but eating sentient beings seems Bad.

The common scifi definition of "sentient" isn't the dictionary definition.
Sometimes it is necessary. Pest control is inherent. We cannot allow mice, rats, etc to live in urban environments unchecked.

Mice are sentient, does that mean we should only use no-kill traps and then release the mice somewhere far away? Many urban pests have population numbers that are 50-100X higher per square mile in the city than they could sustain in the countryside. So if we could even theoretically capture them and release them in the countryside, most would die due lack of sufficient food, which also seems unethical. And simply releasing a pest on the other side of the city so it isn't bothering your house clearly isn't solving the problem.

Killing animals, particularly pests, seems like an inherent part of urban living. Is this unethical? I don't think so.

Don't overlook storing and moving prebuilt components. Complex shapes don't stack well, requiring added trips for distribution and delivery, and warehousing these shapes would be terribly inefficient.

The definitions given in the article are the ones I would give; see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraversion_and_introversion#...

I'm not familiar with the theory that only introverts have an "internal model" that needs updating.

Sometimes hyperbole just isn't the right thing, but I seriously doubt the original poster honestly believes laws were created that allowed for mowing down of citizens willy nilly. Pedantic people go nuts and throw out the rest of the conversation on a caveat rather than keeping focus on the discussion. Laws were written that allows for a defense after running people over with your car. There's plenty to be left to the interpretation of lawyers to argue and judges to decide.
