Many things are possible, but that one would not on the face of it seem that reasonable. Dark matter _seems_ real hard to interact with in any way, pretty hard to harvest something you can barely touch. You could posit that they have advanced technology, but even so why wouldn't they use up their matter first? Why isn't there any other evidence of their existence? Etc.

I have made a lot of money on Bitcoin, and only bitcoin. It paid for my education, my house, and my future retirement. But I knew about it from 2009 and started mining in 2011.

I'm under no illusions: the money I made from Bitcoin didn't come from nowhere. It came from people losing their savings and gambling money they shouldn't.

This is the question / thought experiment that the Owner-Free File System explored[0] (based on the XOR operation), and the legal / philosophical issues are discussed in the famous essay "What Colour are your bits?".[1]

An idea that is often missed in these discussions is that if you have two random-looking files which, when XORed together, produce an interesting file, it isn't clear which of the two source files were created by someone with access to the interesting file. For example, if you produce a sufficiently large random file, I can create another file which, when XORed with your file, implicates you in copyright infringement.

My non-expert conclusion is that unless a third party can prove which file was created first, there is no way of knowing who to prosecute, like having an eye witness trying to separate identical twins (which I believe has been a problem in court cases before). There is, however, the counter-argument that merely publishing large random-looking data files is evidence of a conspiracy to aid copyright infringement, although the same could be said of running a Tor node.

Just 2GB of RAM. Seriously, folks, that is NOT a slim Linux system. Linux is getting so obese that it's now considered an accomplishment to be able to run with more RAM than the biggest HARD DISKS of 30 years ago.

In 1992, a typical Sun/SGI/HP/DEC high end ($30-75K) workstation of the day would have around 64 MEGAbytes of memory, and the largest SCSI hard disks available were only 1-2 GB.

You can't tell me that what most people are doing on a Raspberry Pi wouldn't have been perfectly possible on a machine of that caliber.

Linux is too fat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ2U0boOucY
> Developers have to pay Nintendo a lot to get access to customers with a SNES, Wii, Switch, etc as well, which is the OP's point

The different here is that Nintendo is not a 3 trillion dollar company, that owns 50% of a massively important market in the US.

Yes, anti-competitive practices are allowed if you aren't a huge company.

Literally it is the law, that if you become a big enough company, and have enough market power, then certain actions become illegal, that were not illegal if you weren't as powerful of a company.

> that doesn't mean a bunch of 3p companies are entitled to access to those customers.

It actually literally does mean that they are entitled to that.

For the same reason that 3rd party web browsers, were entitled access to windows users (and before you say it, yes I am aware that windows had a larger control of the market than apple, and it is not literally the same in every single exact way, but the same principle still applies, just in a smaller amount)
Let's assume that at Bing Bang all the matter was in a very small area. Then it exploded, in other words all the pieces of matter started moving away from the starting area, presumably at an accelerating speed. That would simply mean that everything started moving away from everything else and that movement seems to be even accelerating. Fine. That is a good and easy to understand description.

Why then do I have to add "BTW. space is expanding"? Things are moving away from each other I get it. Why do they need to add to that "Space itself is expanding"?

I don't doubt there is a reason since best scientist are thinking about it. I just haven't seen a good explanation for it, yet.
It probably do that and also pay its fines exemplary but at the end of the day it is a monopolistic network, a privacy abuser, a compulsive liar, a opinion manipulator and a big threat to democracy and society.

To the government exerting control over it's citizens is far more important than protecting it's citizens rights and well-being. Facebook knows that and just play the game and at the end of the day Zuckerberg can do whatever he want if he saves politicians faces.
A BSL-4 lab operated by researchers who never made mistakes would probably be quite safe. Unfortunately, they're instead operated by flawed humans. If you look at the safety culture of nuclear engineering, aviation, or other fundamentally dangerous activities that we nonetheless manage to practice safely, then you'll see practitioners who recognize that. They don't dismiss accidents or near-accidents as human error, even if a human failed to follow a procedure, and instead look for better ways to build systems tolerant of the human errors that inevitably occur. The attitude I've seen from many virologists--or at least, from the virologists with the perhaps-questionable judgment required to become the public face of these arguments--is disturbingly different.

And yeah, the WIV was working with novel bat-origin coronaviruses at BSL-2, not 4. That makes the risk of an accident yet higher, which makes our reddit virologist's argument that "BSL-4 labs like the WIV are really safe" not just bad but also dishonest. So I'm not sure what you think is addressed?

ETA: And I see that the reddit post talks about the WIV doing work at BSL-3 before they opened their BSL-4 lab. This claim is unreferenced, and as far as I can tell it's false; Dr. Shi confirms that they were working at BSL-2:

> In an email, Zhengli Shi said she followed Chinese rules that are similar to those in the US. Safety requirements are based on what virus you are studying. Since bat viruses like WIV1 haven’t been confirmed to cause disease in human beings, her biosafety committee recommended BSL-2 for engineering them and testing them and BSL-3 for any animal experiments.

The reddit post could easily be read to imply that after the BSL-4 lab opened, all work moved to the higher BSL; but it never actually says that, and I'm not aware of any evidence (or even any claim from the WIV) that it did. There's a strong incentive to work at lower BSL even when a higher-level facility is available, since the extra precautions significantly slow work. I therefore believe it's likely that work was continuing at BSL-2 in 2019.

I spent years working at a place where apple wouldn't allow us to even link to a website to manage your account if the signup wasn't sourced by apple, so I feel like any marketing they have around being customer focused is really just window dressing.

Which looks to be quite high.

While I'm sure 'nope, sorry' felt gratifying for you to type, the market cares very little about your individual opinion. Even illegal drugs, tangible items that a drug dog might sniff out, can't be choked off.

>whatever random distributed thing you like

The 'whatever random distributed thing I like' is something with a market cap of 2.21 Trillion dollars, which is like 1/10th the GDP of the united states. You make it sound like it's my random pet individual project.

> Optimizing for people who want to side load ~and~ cannot click the build button in Xcode seems wild to me. (No disrespec

When you personally limit sideloading to be "I compile the app and manage a personal security chain to keep it active" it may seem wild, that's not what the vast majority of Android sideloading/3rd party stores is though. Xcode, beyond requiring installation, requires a macOS install to run it on. There are other ways to compile iOS apps, each even less accessible to users or distribution by companies. And again: the obvious statement that the vast majority of revenue generating apps on the App Store are not open source.

Even amongst the Android tech nerds 3rd party stores like F-Droid are popular because users don't want to compile their open source apps constantly... and there are even less requirements around compiling Android apps than iOS apps!

> It’s identical though in that <when one side loads> one is <completely disconnect from the ecosystem of the device manufacturer>.

Not true, sideloading apps on Android means loading them from a different source not disconnecting them from Google services or the Android ecosystem as a whole. It of course allows for that if it's what you're after but it's not limited in such a scope.

> Re: side loading binaries/APKs on my actual phone that’s logged into my actual bank account? Hard pass. There’s a time and place for lax security. This is what air gapping is for.

On Android sideloading is being able to pick which app sources you trust, even if that means "not Google". That could mean "I compiled it myself on an air gapped computer" to you, "I loaded it from a 3rd party store" to another, and "I downloaded it from the developers site" to a third. Which you personally choose is irrelevant as each user gets to pick their allowed sources so it can fit any user's need.
It seems like that because there aren't many alternative beside iOS and android, and iOS market share is big.

However if many players decide to get out from Apple ecosystem, it'll be Apple that'll change stance here.
That would be my preference. Regulating a service fee like this can get messy. There are plenty of models where intermediaries take a cut of something and actually provide roughly equivalent value for it that you'd have to write a "This only applies to Apple and Android" app store law. Even then, 30% for a small low profile developer just starting out isn't entirely unreasonable when no one would easily find them or know who they are without App Store exposure, even with the noise in there. (I think devs like this get a slight discount already though)

Of course household names like Uber are different, but it would also be difficult for Apple to have a policy like "The top 100 most recognizeable brand only pay 10% because we're not providing exposure value to them since people already know who they are."

I think a regulation that requires the ability for competing app stores that can be installed without Apple or Android putting scary security warnings in user's eyeballs before installing them would be a cleaner move.

Admittedly, even then I'm not sure where to draw the line-- should Xbox also then be required to allow competing game stores? Samsung smart watches? Fitbits? I don't have an easy answer to that.

>> and the desire to reach as accurate as possible answers

Something that I believe I have genuinely noticed is that some/many[1] Rationalists have a tendency to apply some sort of "rational" processing to any given idea and then reach their conclusion, but whether the processing that is actually applied (as opposed to what the person perceives themselves to have applied) is substantially different than standard human heuristic processing with post-hoc rationalization[2] (as opposed to rationalism) applied on top of it seems quite questionable to me.

[1] Any hypothesis is true to the degree that it is actually true - everyone is free to have their opinion, but the actual objective state of reality "is what it is".

[2] To what degree is the difference between Rationalist (as opposed to rational) and "normal" thinking & belief formation a function of differences before or after the post-hoc divide?
I've started reading a book on this topic, "Hitler's American Gamble." As the title suggests, it's about the fact that after the US and Japan declared war on each other, Germany declared war on the US four days later, without which it's debatable how soon (or maybe whether) we would have sent troops to the European war.

I'm reading the chapter about 6 December 1941. I think I know what comes next.

BTW, Hitler was not thinking about developing intercontinental rockets until late in the war, so no Americans would have worried about it at that point. At 1941, I don't think the V-2 was even on the drawing board. But you're right about "America First", particularly the Republicans. FDR was itching to get into the European war, as I read it, although his opinion of the British Empire was rather low.
I mean, assuming your experiences are shared to some extent with everyone else's is a pretty human thing to do. It's also a particularly American thing to do, perhaps for cultural reasons.

My point is this isn't a hypothetical; you can walk around Tokyo at night and be fine.
Or in many cases, get not poor quick.
Well, this reminded me of the situation right here in the US. The other day I couldn't place an online order at CVS because it was repeatedly "having technical difficulties". Turns out I had to unblock half a dozen (!) advertising domains in my Pihole (incl. the ones I've never heard of) to finally place an order. I don't know how to treat it as "I have a choice whether to do business with them" ;-)

I guess the only way to protect my privacy in this case is to risk going to the physical store with other sick people atm.

Would a Grocers Association or supermarket chain have any financial, political or legal reason to overemphasize that unusual or substantive shortages might be happening?

Yes. (Though that doesn’t mean they are wrong or misleading in this case.)

Which is why it is wise to look at actual objective nationwide data first. Anecdotes are useful in suggesting where to check real data (or gather real data if missing).

Whoever is gathering supermarket pricing data on a nationwide basis (secret shoppers) would objectively know what’s happening, if anything, and if it is local or regional or nationwide. An actual news agency would have contacted them and paid for the general non-proprietary regional/national info.

I agree with your take on this being a staffing issue where you are, if they are posting those sorts of signs and actively hiring.

If only a small part of my traffic / business comes from the EU yet I am going to incur huge costs, and have to fundamentally change the way my business runs to comply with GDPR guess what, the EU is getting blocked, as make not sense to do it.

My current company does not really collect user info, does no business at all in the EU or is even consumer facing in the US but looking at our internal processes it would be almost impossible to comply with GDPR with out changing MASSIVE amounts of internal processes and procedures.
There are two easy answers for this:

1. Don't create surveillance files on people in the first place. It's not like the lack of privacy legislation means there are legitimate reasons to be performing surveillance. It's just that the illegitimate ones have not yet been made illegal.

2. US states should start adopting the GDPR verbatim (with no corpocratic handouts), so there is only one law to follow.

Dark matter made out of black holes would be upsetting to cosmologists, because they need for the universe to be only 4% "hadronic" matter. If the black holes are made of hadrons, then there is too much of that.

But maybe the stock of primordial black holes started as Dark Matter particles. They then have the problem of explaining why so much of the Dark Matter started out in or close to a black hole. Maybe each Dark Matter particle is so dense it is a black hole all by itself?

You have to be careful talking about what a black hole is made of. Stuff that falls in only has a description before it falls in. After it falls in, it can't be thought of as made out of anything, anymore. So if black holes were part of the initial universe, there is no saying which flavor of matter they represent. After things have settled down, these black holes could proceed to swallow any amount of regular matter, and any amount of "other stuff", if there is any.

The assumption is generally that the "other stuff" has difficulty cooling off enough to be sucked wholesale into black holes, unlike regular matter that is happy to radiate away a big fraction of its energy as photons, leaving the rest able to collapse and form planets and stars, and thence perhaps be gathered into the nearest black hole. Meanwhile, the Dark Matter can mill around a black hole's vicinity indefinitely, maybe swooping close and getting ejected, but otherwise hardly bothered unless it blunders straight in.

I learned a bit of this way back in college! The grammar itself is unambiguous (e.g. indefinite articles are implemented as Skolem constants, the whole thing is LR-parseable) but the semantics are not. There's a category of six-letter words (e.g. jbopre = lojbo + prenu = lojban learner) where the semantics of combining them isn't (probably can't) be defined. Remarkably, how the words themselves combine isn't even fully defined!

I wonder if any neural net-based translation services learn to translate to an intermediate language (Source->IL->Target), and if so, if analyzing the IL would have fairly unambiguous semantics to resist differences in semantics across languages.
