Alright, how's this for an intermediate compromise: instead of 70 + life, make it 70 - remainder of life. That way, people who die the second their book is submitted are still able to leave something for their children but people who live a very long amount of time for whatever reason aren't unjustly rewarded solely for living a long time.
How should works created by groups of people or companies be handled?
> this wasn't true until Omicron

You don’t understand what people mean when they say that. The premise of everyone getting covid is based on the continued mutation and evolutionary pressure to more contagious and less deadly variants. The emergence of an Omicron-like variant is exactly what people meant when they said “everyone will get covid”.
Why not 10 years? That’s all your wife gets in the first case, why linger if you don’t die?

In the US, the tax shelter plan only works if you are profitable 3 out of any given sequence of 5 years. Otherwise, the IRS prohibits deductions from "hobby farms". Be sure you check with an accountant, unless you have been showing a clear profit from your farming activities.

In my experience, a small farmer basically needs to cook their books to appear profitable. Profit is not realistic if you include all of the actual costs.

I voted Google because I don't believe it's special anymore. It's become IBM and Microsoft, with just enough forward momentum to find the rare 10x engineer here and there.

The others still have interesting tech that will unfold in disruptive ways, and that will be the big talent magnet for future engineers.
Only 10? Do you have a source for that? I seriously thought it’s more like 20.
Predicting Death Could Change the Value of a Life
The header of an EXE file begins with the magic letters “MZ". = Broken Link.

The 'MZ' letters were the initials of the programmer who made the 'EXE' format. I can't remember his name today, though I used to know it 30 years ago. ("Mike"?? The "Z" part was an Italian surname, IIRC.) That 'magic number' was following in the footsteps of many other programmers who began their file formats with 'magic' letters or numbers.

In the UNIX world, there was a file called /etc/magic which contained a list of all the 'magic numbers', though this has been superseded by more modern compiled lists. To find what sort of file a particular file is, use the 'file' command which accesses the same data as the previous /etc/magic file did.

How many? 20? 30? 50? IMHO the cases are rare (and get widely publicized whenever that happens, creating a disproportional visibility), you get a couple captures per year but the number is just a tiny fraction of the actual participants, more like an exception than the rule.
Abortion isn’t primarily a religious debate in the US. There is a broad consensus view that elective abortion should be illegal after the first trimester: https://apnews.com/article/only-on-ap-us-supreme-court-abort.... Even highly secular countries like France draw the line at the end of the first trimester, because after that point the fetus looks a lot like a baby (has a face, fingers, toes, etc): https://www.babycenter.com/pregnancy/week-by-week/13-weeks-p...

Roe continues to be controversial because it prohibits states from adopting abortion laws that reflect the consensus view. Roe mandates elective abortions until viability, which is toward the end of the second trimester. Roe is thus opposed by many people who don’t believe that life begins at conception for religious reasons. Those people oppose Roe for whatever moral reasons that drive highly secular countries like France to prohibit abortions in the second trimester.
I think you have their point a bit backwards: they're not saying the causes of height are simple, but rather that the output is simple to measure. If you measure 5 groups and one is 20% taller than the rest, that's pretty clear evidence of something. You get one simple number, one dimension.

Intelligence is much squishier because IQ is a suspect measure at best. If a group scores 20% higher on some intelligence test, is that because of genetics? Cultural focus on learning the specific skills measured by this test? A biased test? Completely different methods of testing being falsely compared? There's no real meterstick for intelligence like there (literally) is for height, so trying to extract a number you can throw into a statistical analysis is a lot more fraught, if it's possible at all.
> "no documented cases"

Has it been studied?

> "virus floating in the air"

Air with humans is an I/O. There is a minor risk of COVID on cigarette butts, because they made contact with peoples' lips, but that is basically inhalation. I'll make another Assumption: more COVID comes from exhalation.

How do we stop exhalation? Masks with 0.1 µm between each fibre (that's an N95). The common surgical masks are less efficient, but because we breathe several times, the lower efficiencies are increased. Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. The efficiencies add up closer to 100%. But the wind blows! Which is why we also need 2m distancing.

Yes, there's a risk in handling PPE without extra PPE. But having thought about this, if I do that, then people will think I'm professional. So they'll think that I'm going to be there to do it tomorrow. The reality is, the Bus factor on this process is distressingly low.

I'm not planning to handle thousands of masks! I'm planning to dispose of every mask I see. Unfortunately, a large portion of the rest of the population decided that they don't care enough to help, which means there are thousands out there.

This is a call to help, and arguing on the Internet about whether it is or isn't beneficial to the world in the precise way that I imagine it works is just causing division between people, which isn't desirable. Rather, let's find someone else who is a better communicator to rewrite this as an academic paper in order to persuade you that there's an environmental feedback loop, and we should love our neighbour.

Live this and have a similar system, I think of them as content zones. Two ideas I haven't seen in other comments are:

2. Good book on back of toilet and no phone allowed in there. Helps start the day with a small piece of learning.

I started #2 (sorry) when I was struggling to finish Seeking Wisdom and figured reading 5 mins a day would get me through. Took 3 months but it worked and turned out to be the perfect place to digest dense content like it.

It's a little weird to me. I see in the comments 50 cent chips going for 75 dollars. The old process chips _seem_ diy able - http://sam.zeloof.xyz/first-ic/ Obviously it would take me, like, a year or two to get anything to work. But I'd guess there are folks out there that could spin up far far faster.

I guess I don't understand why there isn't much, or any, labor intensive fabs combining on line, with a plan to automate away parts of the line as money comes in.

I suppose, the chemicals are so toxic, and the skills are so rare you can't get any production for months, even at the small scale. and perhaps even at the crazy high prices it's still not worth taking on the risk.

I know I don't know what I'm talking about. But golly it does _seem_ like I could make chips in a couple of years, and there's bound to be thousands of people out there that could do it in weeks. It seems like the kind of thing you could scale out with more labor and training, and improve process with automation as you go.

edit

Most trying to understand. Is it too toxic? are the skills so rare? Is the risk that high? Is that what's keeping low end chips from using a more expensive process even though they command higher prices - it's not enough to offset?

Yeah, if you search around there aren't any 4K SDR releases for matrix 4. For a release this popular and this late after release, I'm guessing the reason is because it doesn't exist. The same applies to another HBO max exclusive, Dune. However, there are streaming services that have 4K SDR content (eg. Foundation from Apple TV), but it definitely seems to be the exception rather than the rule.
Designing a Framework for Conversational Interfaces with PL Plus Constraints
so much media is emotionally manipulative, it seems to be how humans respond to things. oh well. so lets not discount this book, but rather look at how is could be valid / invalid on other merits.
Seems like an ultra-simplistic hot take that doesn't address the mountain of side effects doing those things would cause.
Update: on further reading of the Wikipedia entry (yes after writing this comment) I see that the rating that is relevant here is based on the critical response, not the public response. Which probably makes my comment below particularly off-topic. But critics are also consumers, although not usually paying customers.

I have a suspicion that consumer rating of artistic content is often a function of how well the marketing matches the content to the consumer who will most appreciate it. Little or no marketing for a niche product might actually produce a higher rating from a small enthusiastic viewership than for a highly marketed product that pulls in more consumers. Of course even those that rated the content lower probably spent money on it.

How science is being undermined
They exist in Europe because of a similar corrupting mechanism; just because the European system hasn't completely dismantled their social systems the way the US is close to doesn't mean that democracy isn't also being weakened by capitalism.
There is a difference in using tax avoidance programs the way they were designed (eg socking away money in a 401k) and taking advantage of tax loopholes, morally at least. Yes, no one wants to pay extra for a laptop, but it's not moral to take advantage of a website error which accidentally did all the math in cents as opposed to dollars to buy 100 top end laptops for $30/each.

You're running straight into an established Canadian conservative talking point. It's pushed relentlessly by private news organisations who would reap financial benefit from the CBC being defunded. These organizations also happen to be the major news and opinion source for many conservative people in this country, so there's a convenient feedback loop in place. I'm sure this is not dissimilar to the other countries listed.

I agree with the majority of the linked substack in this thread, I think that the quality of CBC journalism is on a pretty clear downward trend, and I think that ignoring widespread societal issues to focus on the ultra-niche "darling of Twitter" social issues is journalistic malpractice at best.

That being said, the comparison of the CBC to Chinese state-run news broadcasting (while extremely common from conservative opinion makers in this country) is, I'm sorry, a completely childish take.

Very cool how much interest there is in mit-scheme and sicm. On the csail website I think the '.com' binary for scmutils only works with v10 and was released about a year ago. Does anyone know where there are instructions for finding/compiling a version that works with the latest version of mit scheme?
What the author calls "caveats" I call being clear and precise. Too much of that can become a drag, but reasoning without some kind of nuance, exceptions, etc, is just too weak, and will only persuade those that already agree with you. You may also sound like a jersey.
> There's no sense in which they are black except for the literal colour of their skin

That's the _point_. The writing is completely unrelated to the actors being black. They were casted as black people because the writers/producers wanted black people for the sake of having black people on screen. If there was reference to black culture or some sort of backstory then it would be a _justified casting_ and I wouldn't be complaining.

You don't cast a British person as a Hispanic character in Narcos. Why are random characters in the Witcher magically changed to be black when there's no story reason for them to be black?

> I assumed you had some objection about the actual storyline which does in fact revolve around discrimination against Witchers, racism and genocide and slavery against Elves, culture wars between nations, and cultures domineering others through centuries of abuse and slavery

I actually think the Witcher does a great job at showing the effects of discrimination and racial conflict in this sense.

I didn't say anything about eliminating anyone. I said there are too many of us.

It's dramatic and disingenuous to suggest that "I think there are too many humans" implies "I think that we must decide which humans to eliminate".

You seem concerned about the legacy of the Nazi agenda. That's understandable. But I do not personally have any "final solution" in mind.

I had in mind things like "shifting our economic system to reduce reliance on growth to maintain prosperity". It also acknowledge that it's very human and natural to want to reproduce, and that you mostly shouldn't force people not to.
Why should the children get the benefit of copyrights at all? If the work made anything during the author's lifetime they already inherit that benefit, and then you are saying they should get another lifetime's worth of revenue ownership as well ¯\(°_o)/¯

Also, many works are not by human authors but teams of contract workers who assigned their copyright interest to an employer for a paycheck and waived any long-term interest therein. Obviously said employer wishes to recoup their investment but I'm not convinced that the children of the original shareholders need monopoly protection.

95 years is already longer than the average human lifetime. Betty White died the other day at the age of almost 100; imagine if the 95-year erm had always been the in effect, and consider that only works published before she reached the age of 5 would have become available during her lifetime.
This is exactly the opposite of those stories where member of minority group X overcomes all odds, scores a perfect SAT, graduates from Harvard at age 16, and becomes CEO of a tech startup.

In each of them, one person does something excessive (good or bad). We're supposed to gain different understandings from each of them, though. Since member of minority X overcame the implicit racism and arbitrary difficulties put in front of them by society, that every member of every minority could do the same, if they applied themselves. In the second case, that of this article, we're supposed to understand that any student could receive praise for any bogus article. These understandings both benefit the socio-economic status quo.
