I recommend Solaris. I think it's a wonderful book focused on our inability to communicate with other forma of intelligent life. It's a pity that the US movie was such a disaster.

For me, the first part of HMV was quite tiring and difficult to get through. It's a long essay written in a first person perspective, but it gets much easier later on. And it's rewarding, I think it's his best book on the problem of understanding other civilizations. Furthermore, it's a bit satirical and critical of military, government, and scientists.
Chasing an animal down, killing it, and eating it is in my opinion a significantly different activity than subjecting it to thirty likely-invasive procedures over the course of its life and then continuing to perform experiments on its dead body. Not saying it's more or less morally questionable, but significantly different.

Evolutionary biology is overused as justification for human behavior. We were not "designed" to eat meat because we were not designed. We evolved the capacity to eat meat just as we evolved a capacity for sympathy/empathy. Other animals have also been shown to "befriend"/care for/grieve over animals of different species, so our own capacity to sympathize for animals should be no surprise.
Its just the difference in 10-years of aging. I moved to this hip town to be around the fun, then... you get married, have a kid, start a 401k and life is wayyyyy different. My next-door neighbor was in her late 70s, had lived in the town for 40 years and was old and tired for the shenanigans. I imagine if I was that age I might be as well.
People starting from scratch would get latest, whereas people maintaining existing projects would be able to upgrade when they feel it’s safe to to so. Do you really want the people maintaining the nuclear reactor code being testers for latest?
I didn't know the Liar's paradox had a name :)

Decades ago (after watching this scene from Labyrinth with David Bowie : https://youtu.be/ReFhu8KYbmU ) as a teenager I wanted to make a sentence I could use in a conversation that would always self-reference wrong. First it was "I always lie." But this (less pretty) version was more "accurate" to me :

"I always tell the opposite of the truth."

"Lie" was too vague a concept : one could argue that a lie is "relative", because it depends on subjectivity = what the subject believes is the truth. The "opposite of the truth" is more "absolute" because the subject and his beliefs/knowledge are out of the equation.
I'm very confused by this article. They seem to just assume that breaking up Google would fix the problem, but they don't explain why. To me it seems that a fundamental problem of search on the internet is that it's adversarial, which means Google needs to make these ranking changes to try to make things better in the SEO war. How does breaking Google up fix this? Wouldn't all the new search engines just be worse at fighting SEO spam, leading to even more spam?

disclaimer: i work at Google, though not on search.
That would make sense if so many easy to detect low hanging fruit like blog spam, scraped stack overflow pirates, and listicles didn't make it to the top. Those are easy for google to de-rank and yet they don't.
> but it was apparently insufficient.

"apparently insufficient" doesn't count as bad?

relaxing these requirements during a period of heavily restricted air travel is an objectively correct policy

the organisation's institutional inflexibility/political inability to solve this very simple problem is yet another demonstration of the EU's current structure being unfit for purpose (or able to respond in a timely manner to current events)

> At least they can claim one good thing came out of Brexit. They need any win, however small.

there are plenty

note that any perceived negative changes are immediately reported as a direct consequence of leaving

however the converse is not true: positive changes don't tend to be reported as a direct consequence of leaving

make of this what you will

> Either way you ARE designed to eat veggies and MEAT, you can choose to eat veggies and deny half your nature, yes.. that is your choice.

Is that similar to you only acknowledging being designed to eat meat and denying half of your nature?
Having worked for a couple carriers, network operators, and the back end data processor for them, I agree that the carriers are fighting and losing the data wars. They did make a lot of money on surveillance, but it is dropping as more coms are encrypted. I don't quite understand why people feel comfortable with a $3T company holding all their data, but I guess it is just in fewer baskets. People like me who know too much only use VOIP and prepaid burner SIM's on phones that always run VPN and airplane mode 98% of the time. It is way cheaper and more secure.
Pretty much standard procedure nowadays. The search term for this is TAVI (Transcatether Aortic Valve Implantation)
>Human beings are also designed for aggression towards each other, yet we generally try to control those parts of our 'savage nature' in modern society.

No. There is no evolutionary benefit for raw aggression. Raw aggression appears during times of limited resources where aggression contributes to survival. Humans as all living things, are designed to survive and use any means to achieve it.

Given minimal resources we all will revert to our primal natures.

>Torturing defenseless animals is not an inescapable facet of human nature. It's something we choose to do and be OK with.

Nothing is inescapable. You are designed by nature to live out a certain lifetime yet you can escape your nature by killing yourself. This does not change your fundamental nature. We are more prone to follow our nature then to ignore it.
This is true with almost any ideology to some extent though when you use reductive arguments like that. My body my choice to put C4 explosives all over it and detonate it in a crowded area. Yet - who supports that? Probably no one.

Also - the Covid vaccine is really more like religion in that - most parents are fine with vaccinating their children. But like religion - now they’re choosing which vaccines (gods) they don’t believe in and it mostly comes down to tradition. There’s almost no logical thought in it.
There are some very good reasons for adopting technical terms for concepts like this.

I would imagine it's generally easier for academics to book venues for conferences when the title is 'CSAM Seminar' than if it's called a 'Child Pornography Convention'

Similarly, when they are looking up publications, it's probably more fruitful, and less prone to terms-of-academic-use-violations for them to google 'NCII' than 'revenge porn'.

It's a little like how people tend to refer to themselves as 'working in pharmaceutical sales' rather than 'dealing in drugs'.
Most of these looks like early summer photos though. Temperatures likely around 20C.
Inviting them to the meeting when I create an appointment is much the same thing?

If I change anything in the appointment it sends everyone in the invite list an email?
You are correct that these buildings were only made possible due to changes in the code as to how many timber stories you could build, and the max is 5 stories. But my point was that they're not called that because they're 5 stories.
> I imagine there needs to be human oversight in some way to stop abuse

That doesn't seem to be working so well for preventing misinformation or threats of violence.
On the flip side, I've found my own question a couple times...
I think it's on my end. I think I failed to make a crucial distinction between "will" and "allow" here. God does allow us to do things that go against His will. He is not too weak, but chooses not to use all His power to force us to do stuff in our lives because He wants a relationship. He has a preference which, while it may not always be easy to see, is borne out of love and is ultimately better for us than what we might insist upon.
> the only request is my own

Literally, elixir doesn't work like that. There is a bunch of other stuff running around in the VM, even if you don't ask for it. It's like an operating system.

> is why people some people find the Elixir community off-putting

I mean ok. Note that I said "you probably". I'm just coming from a lot more experience than you have. But sure, keep giving yourself excuses to be closed minded. It really sounds like you went into the whole thing with the "let me find a reason to hate elixir" mindset, and not the "let me see what people are raving about mindset". Anyways, you're the one missing out.
You're right walled gardens and video make search harder than it used to be. That doesn't make discussing the problem outrage bait.
Pics remind me of the Cormac McCarthy novel "The Road".
one month would be an insane ask
I don’t think that the developers “intended” the game to look the way it does, they were merely responding to the constraints of the platform available at the time. Sure, we all can appreciate the “classic” look and feel, but to imply that it is to any degree essential to enjoying the game would be a bit disingenuous. I have no doubt that kids today would enjoy this game a lot more if, for example, the sprites were in higher resolution and used a smoother animation.
Well I think it was introduced in npm 6, either way you slice it, 6 major versions is way to late for this basic functionality.

Yes but that is the issue with yarn: it has its separate lock file, which is why when I (used to) devops node apps, I required the devs all agree on either npm or yarn but not a mix.
One of the best mask I have found is Cloud Mask. Super light weight, highly breahable and doesn't fog up my glasses. It's also the most expensive mask in this format. Is it possible you can add this one?

"If you have `^1.0.0` in package.json, the version mark is `^1.0.11` in the lock file, which means that a random `npm i` or `yarn install` will install `^1.0.12` in your lock file."

That's not true. package-lock.json file dependencies are specified as exact versions, not ranges. If you have 1.0.11 in your lock file, npm install will always install 1.0.11 unless it no longer satisfies the version in package.json.
There’s been an update to the article addressing this:

> However, many of the users we’ve heard from, and tested ourselves, do not have any such content filtering enabled. We’ve followed up with T-Mobile for additional clarification, but have not yet heard back.
Human behavior that tends to self-imprison on a large scale is fascinating to me.

In the west we see communities opting in to self surveillance 100% of the time, in China it can be literally having your door welded shut so you stay at home.

It all stems from the desire to control other people’s behavior to varying degrees. This desire is probably tied to a survival trait, but more often it is to satisfy something else.
There's no less interesting information on the internet than there was a few years ago - to the contrary there's much more. I agree that the ratio of good to trash content has plummeted but it's the job of Google and its competitors to find the good stuff. If they're failing at their core competency then it's worth discussing.
Wouldn't matter one iota, if there was a guarantee on housing, food, clothing, education, and medicine.

Until that becomes part of the social contract - wealth inequality for some is a prison or death sentence or the means by which one is enslaved by their wages.
I'll speak to Jews. There is no such restriction or even preference.

Not only is this not a problem, Israel does a lot of research on creating pigs that are compatible with humans. Jews have no issue with pig heart valves. In general, the idea is that in Judaism human life is critical. You do what it takes to save lives. Only after that do the rules matter.
What machine learning can learn from Ruby on Rails
Yeah, when I was at Google, the SERP (and caring about users) was a shrine at all levels. Here's an example of one of the weekly Search meetings AlbertCory is talking about: https://search.googleblog.com/2012/03/video-search-quality-m...

For example, my first week at Google/YouTube, I was in a New Hire meeting with our VP. Someone asked about profitability, and he responded that Larry said we didn't have to worry about revenue yet, since the main goal was user growth/happiness, and revenue could come later. Which I thought was fascinating, considering how big YouTube already was at the time (in 2013)!

Though I think this changed a year later, and I find YouTube ads a poor experience compared to Instagram and TikTok -- which aren't merely "better than the rest", but stuff I actually enjoy watching.
Why is this upvoted? This is just "fearmongering" BS. The parent is generalizing from his Parents response who it seems belong to the irrational "don't get the vaccine" crowd. They are reflecting their own prejudices onto the Doctors/Nurses/Health Service Infrastructure who have done a fantastic job amidst trying circumstances.
Dissociatives are the most under-appreciated class of drugs.

Mechanisms of action are difficult to be objective about. It is a lot more complicated than dopamine and serotonin regulation and uptake, receptors and antagonists.

Today was pleasant, despite every reason not to be. It's like the "hope" qualia.
She lost people in her life, and used the resurrections of Neo and Trinity as a way to cope with the loss. Past that I think she didn't really care that much. Good for her, she got that paycheque nonetheless!
I don't know if this is a joke, but working at large software organizations with many independent teams is a lot like what you just described.
The nice thing about Davis is it’s still large enough to have suburbs that are primarily families so you don’t end up with drunk kids on your lawn or parties every week :)
I always wonder why people have all these bookmarks. I think the most I had at one time was 15 and that because I switch to another project halfway. As soon I extract what I want in one page, I close it. If it's something that is interesting, and I don't have time, I add it to my read-it-later list. And if it's something that I may often revisit, that's when I bookmark.
Me too and I am not amused.
Line is also the standard with Japanese friends
I looked at the linked page and it had a big list of masks, each of which linked to a page about that mask with a picture but no information such as test results. Was that intended? Could you just ditch all the fancy web design and have a big table with test results for each mask, with an ordering link for the models that you sell? That would be awesome.

It would be great if you also sold the stuff you use for testing masks. I spent a while looking into testing masks myself, but then the shortage eased up so it seemed less important.
I'm about to type something ... interesting

* Bugs → Bad

* Signed code reviews which can have their ownership transfered via a new proof from the original author can "sell" these reviews to people. Yes, I'm talking NFTs.

As I was writing this, you can also replace "code review" with just general "claim". Claim you wrote a book, or wrote some special software, or thought of a new mathematical idea before anyone else.

From here, people can make a living making and selling code reviews / claims. "Proof of able to do useful work"
I don't think Private Relay routes app traffic through Apple servers, just Safari traffic: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212614

Please correct me if I'm wrong. If that's the case, I believe most/all iPhone users watch Netflix/content sites via an app, so that traffic would not be routed via Private Relay.

This may affect Mac Safari traffic, though. I am curious if they have any exceptions on the backend for edge content providers.
> questioning explicit intent is a bit silly.

I'm not questioning their intent, I'm questioning whether they successfully expressed that intent in the movie.
Attack and rights are not exclusive concepts. I would venture to say that your comment is mostly nonsequitor.

It's an indirect attack against the lazy and complacent, at the very least.
How dare the developer do that to them?!

People hate it when you make more work for them and companies will actively fight back so the outrage is predictable. What's surprising is the lack of support for both user and developer agency. Some have gone so far as to say that users have some sort of ownership over someone else's licensed code they chose to blindly change (apply an update) by right of "community" because they used it when it did what they wanted.
Can you elaborate on the toxic materials? I'm curious to know more. I am aware of Skydrol hydralic fluid and perhaps some other oils/lubricants. Is there anything else that might be toxic?

It feels like a film made during a global pandemic where people have to go into lockdown and can't really sit down to hash out any of the details.
There is the left narrative, and then there is everyone else.

The classic example is CAGW. If I know a person's position on that, I find I can predict their position on most any other contentious issue.

The average people on the street have plenty of received opinions that they are happy to share, but know little about the actual science relevant to them.

But, we were discussing Wikipedia science articles. The issue with Wikipedia is what is permitted to be said on some science pages, and what is quickly reverted.

Everyone is political. Good scientists (and good encyclopedists) ought to try hard to suppress that.

>Evolutionary biology is overused as justification for human behavior.

Let me get one thing straight. I am not justifying anything. My angle is, what's the point? Don't justify anything at all. We're evil for killing, so be it. I am looking at it from a completely dispassionate angle. I do not need to somehow merge and mutate my moral framework to make it work with the existing reality.

>We were not "designed" to eat meat because we were not designed.

Ok we were "designed" by natural selection to eat meat. I am not making a theological argument.

> Chasing an animal down, killing it, and eating it is in my opinion a significantly different activity than subjecting it to thirty likely-invasive procedures over the course of its life and then continuing to perform experiments on its dead body. Not saying it's more or less morally questionable, but significantly different.

In the wild, carnivores devour the flesh of their prey while it is alive and awake. Possibly more significant if not equal in being morally questionable.

>Other animals have also been shown to "befriend"/care for/grieve over animals of different species, so our own capacity to sympathize for animals should be no surprise.

No it is not. But what is surprising is that this empathy is the dominant behavior to our own evolutionary detriment (however mild). Empathy evolved to aid in survival of our genome, but when empathy evolves to the point where we are unable experiment on animals to assist in helping our own species... that is something unnatural.
The common quip is always "we can do both".

I don't really see us doing both though. We keep yelling about identity politics and one side keeps evolving to the point where 50% of the people are basically on the same page about an ever increasing list of concerns around minorities, while the other side is ever more entrenched in opposition -- meanwhile the social policies that 80% of the people would agree upon (like if you poll about universal healthcare by describing it instead of naming it) are simply not happening.

This is unlikely to be an accident since the corporations who have bought most of the politicians in the country don't mind more minority CEOs but they're very threatened by economic policies that would be overwhelmingly popular if an imaginary labor-oriented political party were able to punch through the corporate propaganda.
A good approximation of market power is how poor your support can be while still having a thriving business.

Or it could be that humans don't respond well to uncontrolled crime. Unless you have experienced crime directed to you, it is easy to judge other's reactions.

Most terrifying moment I ever had a car was passing a plow+sand trailer on the colloquial highway (BC). He was plowing the right lane and I was following semi trucks passing in the relatively clear left lane. Right as I got beside the plow's trailer it jackknifed 45 degrees away from me. I though we were all going to die in a huge pileup. But it turned out to be one of these. I had seen them many times. I had never seen one engage the second plow while going 60mph. I did not know they could do it on the move.

Weird that these statements are made (and I don't mean by you, it's a trope to make them by people in general in discussions like this, I'm not picking you out) that it somehow justifies, or ameliorates, the awfulness of experimenting then dissecting (as someone said) a helpless intelligent creature.

I think these statements justify animal trials and using it to benefit humans definitely. But it doesn't justify or make better that it's still an awful thing to do to an animal and for the animal I think. It's weird right like where they get the blood of some sort of poor little sea creature that's got a blue copper containing blood it's just awful.

I really think we need to revise and reform a lot of how industry interacts with and especially commoditizes animals. I'm not saying we need to be vegans at all but I think there's so much room for improving how we talk think and act about this stuff. To make I guess what is probably an obvious point but I think the reasonableness of that point is not obvious but I think it can be a reasonable and obvious point without really attacking anybody and that non-threatening nature of that reasonable and obvious point I think is what is important about what I'm saying. It's possible. Less this comment be dismissed as some sort of low effort outrage--my heart's beating 50 beats a minute right now I'm not upset. I just think we can improve things there massively but that doesn't make anybody a monster.
