I am not disagreeing with you about population modeling. Altho I don’t have the numbers with me right now, from my earlier calculations, it would be 150 years to stabilize world population at the carrying capacity of one billion.

But I think it’s better to have half a surviving child per person(rather than one child per woman. we don’t have the time to deal with the definition of ‘woman’)for the sake of genetic diversity. And this right to procreate should be non-transferable. (No one can buy or sell the right to procreate. Adoption exempt).

I would like to amend that to ‘1/2 surviving biological offspring’/person.

If we are going to reduce population drastically, then genetic diversity is important for species health and survival.

And all this assuming that we don’t indulge in tech like artificial embryos or create babies with pluripotent cells. It is important to find ways to preserve genetic material and gestation tech for said genetic material.

Having said that…I believe that the first cloned humans are already alive and likely adults now. I refuse to believe or accept that countries that have scant regards for global ethical constraints will restrain themselves from exploring reproductive tech.

Could you cite a more direct source for this? It's in direct contradiction with the materials the site you linked provided me [0]. If you go to page 17 "September Who are my students?" they do not discourage different classes or tracks existing, they discourage placing students in different tracks without input from the student or their parents. As a former educator that seems sensible to me. Sometimes a student isn't quite ready to enter the more advanced mathematical track but could be made so with if provided some guidance on how to self study. I've seen many high school freshman apply themselves more readily when I laid out the long term consequences of different math tracks.

I did not get the impression that the author intended to uniquely characterize them as savages. Yes, it's the first instance of that word, but the preceding paragraphs are about replacements/displacements/invasions by other groups.
I've adopted a different solution - use an old charger. I have a seemingly endless supply of them sitting around. They were never powerful enough to begin with, so they charge many times slower than modern chargers.

This is ideal for over night charging for me. From a nearly empty battery, it charger my phone to about 95% during a normal night. If I need to top off, I throw it on the quick charger while I get ready for the day.
I compile stuff for myself all the time and I bought the installer. As far as this category of software goes, $15 is cheap. (Although I think it was $5 when I got it.)

Excellent, thanks! I think a label config item should be enough to get Traefik working, but I'll know more after I look at it.
The only things that are relevant here are mining and verification. PoS replaces mining, but you still need stake to verify.

Hah is this some reference to PoW miners coming out swinging against PoS to protect their mining infrastructure investments?

1. Of course not

2. This is a great demonstration of how centralized these "decentralized" networks are; people are even worried about the PoW miner lobby.
I'm a relative newcomer to the crypto-space so please forgive me for any errors.

I see the point you are attempting to make but the number is rather useless, in the past week hackers took 20% of what was stolen by BEC in a year. And skimming through the report you sent it seems like there is a program to recover said funds that have been lost and it has an 82% success-rate.

> But you're not trying to prove X = 3 and starting out by assuming X = 3.

No, you're trying to prove

for all N>=1: A(N) is true

and start by proving that

IF A(N) is true THEN A(N+1) is true

This implication can be true even if A(N) is false, and your final proof will only use the implication, not the assumption used when proving that implication.

Assumptions in math proofs can have scopes. For example in many proofs you split the domain into subsets and prove that something is true assuming X>=0 and X<0 separately. Naively you would say that we cannot assume X>=0 and then assume X<0 in the same proof because that's a contradicion.

But these assumptions were used in different scopes so there's no contradiction.

> So what? You are still running on top of the hypervisor. It’s entirely doable from a unikernel.

Is it? Does this unikernel have support for all the hardware that the Linux kernel does?

Once you're dealing with real hardware, 90% of your project becomes drivers, and 10% the actual kernel bit. No niche kernel can compete on that front.

> Need a dedicated disk array with full performance? You can get it.

Meanwhile you're still paying for VM overhead (it's not zero) for no good reason...

Again, this thing's selling point is "it runs in the cloud", and cloud vendors don't do passthrough. If you're running your own metal, you're better off with a sandboxing approach that doesn't needlessly involve a full VM.

> In the actual world, VM are safer.

There are many sandboxing technologies not built on VMs with good track records (or even built on VM modes but much lighter than a full virtual PC like cloud vendors use). Do you have statistics on how VMs are safer than these kinds of technologies? OP is only comparing containers and VMs. There's plenty of more secure technologies, like gVisor (that has a backend that uses KVM and one that does not, and is in both cases lighter weight than a full x86 virtual machine).

> If you can’t even call the interface because support is not there in the unikernel it’s not part of your attack surface.

If you can't even call the interface because support is not there in the sandbox layer, it's not part of your attack surface.

> But you are once again using a completely flawed argument. It doesn’t matter that syscall interfaces could be as safe as the one provided by the VM because they are not. This is not an argument about potential.

Again, look at sandboxing technologies. The kind that use either full on syscall wrappers or at least very strict whitelists.

There have been plenty of VM escape bugs going around. Syscalls have a larger attack surface because they do more stuff. Start filtering all that with a strong sandbox and you can achieve similar levels of security to VMs. There's no magic thing about VMs that makes them safer.

> You are completely missing the point because you live in a fantasy.

I guess Google is living in a fantasy too, seeing as they've been running untrusted customer code on App Engine by using sandboxes, on top of kernels shared between multiple customers and also internal code, with no VMs in sight (at least originally; they may have moved to the KVM backend of gVisor now, but again that's still not a full blown virtio PC like the thing this unikernel runs on).

W.r.t. that article, while Christianity does emphasize the value of the individual (Imago Dei), individualism (emphasis on "-ism") is a feature of liberalism and therefore a Christian heresy. Human beings as social animals and individualism is as much of a departure from the human good as collectivism.

Attack surface reduction, maybe? Bluetooth vulnerabilities at really low levels in the stack aren't that uncommon. And if it's just disabled in solder and not on the silicon die, wouldn't it be practical to re-enable it by taking it apart if you really wanted?

- a greetings line
- quoting the entire mail you're replying to
- the choice of whether you include an attachment inline or as a real attachment
- threads that you can't have a glance at because messages are in different mailboxes (inbox, archive, Sent, ...)
- having to click on each message to read the conversation instead of having it all in one view that you can just scroll (thanks Gmail for doing this correctly)

It is undisputed the Philistines existed and were of Greek origin, that an area around today's Gaza was settled by them and later named after them, and that the name was known to Greeks - though even Gaza itself was assigned to the Judean province so it probably was much less used by Hadrian's time.

Of course Greeks used the name given to them by fellow Greeks (when they existed at the province) and weren't clear on borders. However, every empire and kingdom which actually ruled there knew very well how the locales called it and that's why the province was named as it was.

Now, Hadrian was acquainted enough with Judaism to specifically ban many of its practices like circumcision, reading the holy books, etc. Learning a tiny bit on a province after fighting a massive war there is rather expected. However, I believe it's much more likely that he chose the name from Greek language and history. This is a Roman Emperor we're talking about, Greek was a extremely popular language for the Roman elite, he must have been very familiar with Greek.

Renaming the province is consistent with Hadrian's other moves which do have a well known rational of suppressing the Jews. There's no reason to think renaming the province just after the massive rebellion is somehow different, accidental or separate from all the other moves, like renaming Jerusalem itself or banning many of Judaism's practices.

> the claim that Adrian renamed Iudaea comes from the Christian 4th century scholar Eusebius and is not found in other sources (such as the Talmud)

The Talmud has no reason to care about how the Romans name things in their own language for their own empire. It's a religious text, not a history book. It's actually noteworthy that there is an ancient text mentioning this - most ancient historians cared little for such details.

EDIT: I also note that Eusebius lived and wrote when the Roman Empire still existed, and probably did not have much need for guessing. A Roman historian living at that time could access Roman primary sources and common knowledge easily.
Aye, growing up in a church that teaches teetotalism I heard people say that ① wine was less alcoholic back then becaue you had to ferment by leaving things out to gather yeast from the air and not from industrially produced active dry yeast powder, and ② what alcohol wine may have contained was then a necessary evil because of pathogens in water before the proliferation of treatment plants.

I'm curious how true ① is, and/or if lack of distillation made wine weaker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquor#Distillation_of_wine makes it sound like the process might have been uncommon knowledge still in the process of refinement).
You see them building a delivery fleet as a moat: I see it as they've burned through literally every logistics broker in the US and now have no other choice. Their modus operandi to date was to put bids out to logistics brokers who would treat Amazon like any other customer and have some routes that were profitable, and some they'd lose money on in order to win the overall business. Amazon would then use that broker for nothing but the loss leader route and hammer it until the broker fired them as a customer. You can only do that to so many brokers before there is literally nobody left willing to do business with you.

Source: my buddy runs a broker business and will not do business with Amazon under any circumstances nor will any of his peers in this market.

> There's no biological reason a human subspecies couldn't have gotten isolated in a valley somewhere and ended up being fifty IQ points smarter or dumber than the rest of humanity. Same goes for our sexes being identically intellectually capable. Would the principle of egalitarianism have ever emerged in such a world?

I want to say yes, because how are you even distinguishing that world from this one? There exist humans who are fifty IQ points smarter or dumber than other humans who also exist.

The batshit crazy idea is that these differences are caused by or intrinsically bound with skin color.

As for sex differences, here's the money quote:

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

> All or most of the major tests commonly used to measure intelligence have been constructed so that there are no overall score differences between males and females.

We believe in egalitarianism, therefore IQ tests that show a sex difference are wrong, therefore we use IQ tests that show no sex difference.

Now, if there are biological differences between the sexes, they could not only go either way, they could go both ways. It's possible that on average women are better at X and men are better at Y, so you could really design a test to show whatever result you want.

It's also obviously the case that no matter what the averages are, the world's highest-scoring male will almost certainly have a better score than the world's lowest-scoring female and vice versa. So arguments of the form "women can't do X" are stupid even if you can find a statistically significant difference in the averages using some metric. Because most people are not exactly average.

Discrimination is the assumption that all members of a group are the same.

Semantic Versioning for Dummies
The Minoan civilization had been on a downward arc for several hundred years (i.e. since 1600-1500BCE, including possibly being conquered by Mycenaeans around 1400BCE) by the time of the Sea Peoples' antics (about 1200BCE).
I’m not sure if there is any difference. They are assuming that their “AI” is acting alone and in a very narrowly defined context.

What’s to say the human voluntarily entered this capsule and the “AI” does what that person wishes? One could take the Kim Jong-nam assassination as an example where the participants may have believed something completely different was occurring than the true context.

In the absence of “AI” someone could reverse the do die/do not die button. However, adding an additional, pliable layer is a bad idea.

Whether it is autonomous weapons or this, once AI or machine learning is added, the human is no longer in full control.

I can buy it because I don’t think we’ve yet gotten anywhere close to a full accounting of the second order effects of the collective reaction to Covid-19: not just in terms of negative health impacts of the shutdowns, but also the long-term economic devastation.

At the same time as many governors were effectively shutting down hordes of small businesses for daring to stay open even while Amazon and other big firms were doing record-setting business, scammers rushed to claim many of the government loans meant to keep actual businesses afloat. I think many real businesses got completely hosed.

Don’t expect to hear an inkling about this forced transfer of wealth from Main Street to Wall Street from self-described progressives who are currently focusing on enriching Big Pharma. They might start to focus on the economy again when it’s entirely too late.

1. I wouldn't have chosen Physics given that a great number of people with a degree end up in Data Science / Developer Roles, I would have chosen Computer Science or Medicine.

2. I would have stopped comparing myself to others since the first year of high school: I was almost always top of my class but the constant comparisons and fear to be a "loser" even for a single score have greatly contributed to my extremely deep depression; I can't find joy in my accomplishment: it doesn't matter how good I am.

3. I would have tried to be more physically attractive both for a health and social reason: I would have dropped all the b*it about interior beauty and focusing on having a good looking package to pass the initial first-impression, instinctive reaction.

4. I wouldn't have thought much about the future and how much I need to do everything right or else. It turns out that I do not have and will never have all the information to do the right choice in every given context and most of the good and the bad in life are happenstances, luck: our right choices are a nice narrative that we tell ourselves to make sense of the mess that it is existence.

5. I would have stayed a bookworm even if it was not cool: the cool kids turned out to be not so cool after all.

6. I would have started watching more anime in high school instead of being snobbish about it.

7. I would have tried to develop much more my interpersonal skills with people I was really interested about instead of the above-mentioned cool kids.

8. I would have dropped all the lofty multi-year goals and expectation and focused on small goals (at most 6-12 months-long goals) and create sustainable habits on the day to day mundane grind so that, when the realization that the goals were impossible would have hit, I would have been sustained by a healthy lifestyle instead of my big mess of a so-called life.
Have you really not heard of decentralized exchanges?
This is to eliminate the pesky doctor from the situation.

Doctors have ethics, morals, and feelings. Doctors, at least ostensibly, agree to "first do no harm". If you take that statement literally that means doctors are obligated to not help a patient commit suicide because killing someone is ostensibly more harm than having them in pain. I know this isn't popular on HN being very pro individual liberty, and I agree people should have control over their own lives, but the inclusion of doctors presents a problem to people who want to enable anyone to kill themselves easily.

The sarco is a techno-dystopian solution. Now that the cat is out of the bag, 3d printable, and theoretically reliable, it's only a matter of time before it's used for something other than killing yourself. Or, even worse, it's used to create some new tech startup that starts to approach soylent green. Just throw a nice screen in there with images of pretty scenery and you have the "exit" in the most literal sense.

It's humane in theory because the nitrogen provides a painless death. I say in theory because this only works in theory. There have been many failed suicides directed by exit international that demonstrate the method is not as effective as they tout but no one seems to mention the quackery by EI when they talk about them.

My concern is these people walk the line between "helping the actual sick have a peaceful death" and "homicidal psychopath" and with this device I believe they are leaning far, far closer to the latter. Creating mass scale suicide devices with the specific intent to end people's lives is immoral and unethical. As stated above, it will only be a matter of time before a company decides to provide suicide-as-a-service.
