any trait can be positive, negative, or neutral for evolutionary fitness. If a trait is neutral it can potentially survive and be passed down.

There is evolutionary fitness at an individual level, but cultures have evolutionary fitness as well. A culture might preserve individuals that have low individual fitness because they create cultural fitness.

For example the need to explore and expand the boundaries of knowledge may not be useful at an individual level, however a culture with those individuals might survive better than a culture without. All members of the culture that does not have those individuals may die, even if individuals are very fit.

Sociopathy is likely conserved at a cultural level because cultures periodically need sociopaths to completely obliterate competition or ruthlessly compete to survive.

Cultures also are constantly spawning mutations (civil rights, black lives matter, nazi ism, capitalism, democracy. social justice etc) those mutations can be positive, negative or neutral. Neutral traits can hang around if they carried alongside traits that do provide cultural fitness.

Makes one wonder when "listening to business school majors" will be taken into economic school books as "value destructing behavior".

Are you claiming that your personal analysis of a biased selection of YouTube videos is more accurate than the statistics provided to and validated by regulators under weight of law?

The author of the article is also a known bad faith operator. Isn't it more reasonable to base your understanding of driving automation (by Tesla and other companies) on actual numbers and not a laughably biased hit piece by a nonsense person?
> nobody has done anything to stop them

Sort of yes and no.

No one has done anything to stop them just like no one has done anything to stop Apple or the other tech companies.

Farmers have done a lot of lobbying and other work around right to repair just to work on their equipment. This includes being apart of efforts with the Library of Congress for the exemption that comes up every so often. They've been there alongside people in tech circles.
> always... particularly for Halo titles.

Maybe if you started with Halo 2. Halo 1 lan parties and Xbox connect you had a choice of maybe 10 colors. It was about the shooty-shooty. And maybe that's why I like infinite, I get pretty darn good shooty-shooty.

I agree to an extent that the customization system is a little broken though. Team games should force red or blue coloring, half the time I can't tell who is or isn't on my team. "Outlines" aren't enough. All so people feel that their $50 armor purchase isn't hidden.
> This is reversing the burden of proof.

No, in response to someone vaguely mentioning the words “free will”, you made the claim: “Free will does not exist.”

The burden of proof is now on you to provide evidence of your claim as well as on you to define the terms contained within your claim.

I am not arguing the “free will” debate either way for the reasons mentioned previously and do not care to define the terms as the entire debate is nothing more than a creative thought experiment as far as I can tell.
The more I have seen of big tech companies, the more I think they need to split up from time to time. Complacency and ossification emerge as a product of scale. If you want to avoid them, reduce your scale. If your manufacturing engineers (really, the managers) need to be at the cutting edge of manufacturing or be out of a job, they will figure out how to get there.

Intel has had a number of embarrassing technology misses that have put them behind: the first I remember was through-silicon vias for 3D stacking and it was only a matter of time before they missed something necessary for an advanced fab, and they missed on EUV.

Their foundry engineers at the same time were recruiting more engineers out of school on the basis that they were the "best in the world." They thought their position was unassailable because they had high yield at 22 nm, so they rested on their laurels and missed technology after technology before it bit them.

That combined with how foreign actors work to hurt Democrats through the economy.

The rise in gas prices wasn't a coincidence or due to Biden's actions. OPEC (which includes such wonderful actors like Saudi Arabia and Russia) intentionally reduced production and raised prices in part to punish Biden's admin for working against authoritarian nations.

Too bad two evils don't cancel each other out.
This is not the airlines problem: the airlines have type certified transport/commuter category aircraft with all kinds of radios - include the radar altimeters that are the problem here - that are required to meet exact performance specifications - which they did.

The FAA waited until December to issue airworthiness directives that limit the ability of the airlines to rely on radar altimeters under certain circumstances. The background here appears to be some kind of pissing match between US government agencies including the FAA, the FCC and the NTIA.

What exactly do you think the airlines were supposed to do here? Go out and have all their radar altimeters replaced? Replaced with what? The required standards haven't changed, and it's the FAA that writes the standard (technical service orders).

This is also not a "smoke testing" problem. This is a "on the worst day, in the worst set of circumstances, what is the degree of compromise of the assumed safety margins" question.
Except that nearly 100% of political donations from Twitter employees go to Democrats, so it is Democrat-aligned people making the decision about who get silenced and who gets high visibility on Twitter, which influences the extremists that try to get people fired. Heck, Democrat politicians have directly advocated this sort of activity, including physical violence.

Electing Republicans might get Section 230 updated to require platforms to be platforms and not a mix of all the benefits of platforms and none of the downsides of being publishers that are not neutral in silencing certain perspectives.

I don't believe the UK government for this matter is naive. They know very well what and why they are doing this and it's the same strategy used in different parts of the world. It's not new and there's no need to come up with anything new because it works so well and you can justify trading privacy (or even more important things) for security this way no matter how little sense this makes.

I do think that it's naive to think that one of the most important countries in the world with a rather effective intelligence service and a lot of smart people everywhere in the state is naive. I really don't think the UK government believes that if they remove encryption from popular chat apps the tiny percentage of population that might use it for evil purposes will be caught instead of, you know, moving to a different mechanism.
We've been building ente[1] as an e2ee alternative to Google Photos.

Posterity is something we've been thinking deeply about. Our infrastructure is designed to support successors, similar to GitHub[2]. But since cloud storage is expensive, successors will have to choose between exporting a local copy[3] or paying for the newly accumulated data.

We are still designing this "feature". If you think we can do better, please let me know. We would be grateful for any feedback. :)

Something like 70% of Americans support some form of "medicare for all"[1]. And as another poster mentioned Bernie was to the right of many democrats on the second amendment. I'm not sure which unpopular issues you're referring to.

Not the popular vote. Even Hillary managed to win the popular vote in 2016.

Unfortunately, what the mainstream would consider non-independent is someone that would vote for one party 100% of the time even if completely uninformed. Basically, a political zealot and there are a LOT on both sides. Everyone else? Independent voter.
The essence of consulting business is that if you ask a consultant what the time is, they take your watch, look at it, tell you the time, and keep the watch.

On the other hand, there is real value unlocked by simply getting information from team A to team B in a dysfunctional organization that is totally unable to do it themselves; and most large organizations are dysfunctional in this sense.
I'm not sure I can agree with the word "stole." It's clearly in everyone's interest that that process goes on, or at least the interest of everyone who hires consultants; if a company was uniformly better than all of their competitors or thought they were, they wouldn't hire external consultants.
Donut county, poly bridge, angry goose game.. I’d say there is way more variation in indie games
I think the biggest problem is that parents have less and less right - or indeed, ability - to monitor their childrens communications and function as decent and responsible parents. Inevitably, were this implemented, someone would find a way to turn it against parents' rights to monitor their children.

And confounding this issue is the fact that the major platforms (Facebook, et al.) simply don't want parents to have this kind of control over their children, because it will effect their bottom line. Children with less adult supervision tend to be far more easily manipulated.

Its not just child diddlers who want this manipulation to proceed un-impeded by parental oversight - its Facebook, et al. too!

So this evil campaign is going to get a lot of corporate support, I fear. For the wrong damn reasons.

(Disclaimer: am an angry parent who is sick of the shit my kids have to deal with online... but who will also NEVER give up personal encryption as a right.)
This doesn't have to win, it just needs to get discussed until enough corporations make a stink about this before extensions become "illegal".

Just like DRM, DCMA and many other total nonsense systems, they just need to "appear" like something is bad before Google/Firefox end all extensions entirely.

What is the defense for this?

Democrats couldn't move the needle even a tiny bit on gun control, even with nominal control of all three branches and stuff like Sandy Hook as a rallying cry. The most meaningful gun regulation at the Federal level in the past few decades was Trump banning bump stocks.

There's zero reason to believe the current court - which is likely to be around for decades - will do anything but increase gun rights.
I wouldn’t even mind as much if the replacements at least would have the same (or better) usability and quality (in terms of everyday performance, not necessarily longevity), but more often than not they are a downgrade.
As a conservative-leaning person, I've pondered this juxtaposition before and come to the following conclusion:

The religious right says, "We don't like what Disney/Home Depot/Google/etc. are doing, and so we're telling all of our friends to boycott them if they also hold those values".

"Cancel culture" says, "We don't like what you, Joe Schmoe, are doing. As a result, we're going to tell Disney/Amazon/Google/etc. to boycott you and make you unemployable."
Are you really shocked that someone would make a backup before doing something they are unsure of?

Personally, I git clone a fresh copy to do any advanced stuff in, and sometimes an extra just as a backup. Though that's not really much different than copying the folder. Especially if he has uncommitted files like IDE settings and whatnot he doesn't want to fix if things go really bad.

Well Biden confidently went in front of the public and claimed he could, I thinks it's reasonable to be upset with politicians who fail to meet their promises
I mean it's great PR for the west, no doubt about it. I think the South Park episode "I'm a Little Bit Country" is very relevant here - the US is a country founded on the basis of "saying one thing and doing another".

AAA games are about art as much as big budget films are… which is to say: not a lot. You’re never going to see as much risk taken when each game costs hundreds of millions of dollars. There are however tons of “mid tier” studio, what some might call “triple I” big indie studios that put out all kinds of innovative games.

Even Minecraft and Fortnite, two of the most popular games in the world, are systemically quite interesting compared to games 20 years ago. (yes really, Fortnite is much more interesting than you might think looking at it superficially)

Defining “art” when it comes to games is of course subjective. Some would say The Witness is much closer to art than The Last of Us 2, while others would say the opposite… but does it matter? Either way they’re both fantastic games. The medium is still being pushed forward, you just have to know where to look.
For tech consulting, there was a lot of layoff unless a services contract committed contractual spend. Keep in mind, staff augmentation / time & materials is a very common contractual model - which has no committed spend.

Also, another point I didn't mention above is Marketing Agencies and Lawyers. These business are fundamentally "consulting". The massive difference is that (a) these industries found ways that allowed them to capture more revenue than just billing time, e.g. lawyers can get a % of a cash settlement case, or marketing agencies can get a % of ad spend from a company, and (b) they found ways to help with the cash flow float by creating "retainer" vehicles.
Ok, I'm extremely embarassed but it looks like I got the terminology wrong with regards to "Anonymous memory". And sorry for being so upset, at least I finally got something out of it.

It's also a fact that if I'm using disk swap space on a Unix, the same performance and stability issues apply as for disk backed file mappings. In that sense, there really is no difference.
I see survival space like an outer hard boundary. Brain can and in reality often makes its own vaguely related space and we navigate it oblivious to the hard survival boundaries..till they hit us.

In my experience (Canadian public school 20 years ago), schools _try_ to teach the scientific method, but I think the effectiveness is highly dependent on the school and teacher.

I did countless science labs throughout school, and they all followed the scientific method: We were given a question, formed a hypothesis, performed experiments, analyzed the results and evaluated the correctness of our hypothesis. But this was never really described as the scientific method, or presented as some general framework you could apply to things in your life. It was just the series of steps you had to follow in science labs.

Now, some kids might be able to bridge the gap between this process and the facts they read in textbooks. When you're presented some fact in biology class, it's because people have followed that same process iteratively to reach that conclusion. But in my experience, bridging that gap was left up to the student. Some kids figured it out, but I'd wager that most didn't.
I once found a rock that turned out to be a fossil. Therefore, all rocks are fossils. That's the logic I'm reading from this.

> Don't look at the game as it exists on Steam

So I should ignore all the evidence that refutes your position, and only look at a limited subset of data that does support it?

Having a publisher doesn't invalidate a companies indie label. Being "indie" has never meant being bootstrapped.
I could say the same thing about lots of obvious economic policies... The world doesn't work like that.
The question on the poll was which party the person considered themselves affiliated with, but not who they vote for. As other commenters noted, self-declared independents typically always vote for one party. If you look at the earlier questions in the article, it accounts for this by placing these "independent" voters into either the Democratic or Republican buckets.
See the Cole Memorandum. This was from the DOJ under Obama rather than the president, but similar policies can be made in an executive order.

But Biden has been consistently against marijuana legalization. His power to make such changes is greater than his willingness to do so.

In terms of the "console war" competitive landscape, Tencent is not relevant as they're not a significant stakeholder in that market.

I think this was a case of playing vote chicken. There were a tiny number of democrats who were never going to vote for those bills. There are a larger group that didn't want to vote for those bills but didn't want to go against party lines. So they voted for bills knowing that they wouldn't pass. They risked nothing and still got the outcome they desired.
Forcing people to buy some of your products in order to use others of your products is called "tying" and it's illegal monopolization.

I don't think it makes sense to tie dopamine to physical movement and analogize that to "movement" in the ludicrously high dimensional and topologically weird "space" of all possible actions, including but not limited to job interviews. If a space analogy still works after all the complexity we've added to our "run and tumble" algorithms, I think that's probably a coincidence.

Let's not overlook the intentional messaging to get you to feel that way. It's lucrative to get people stirred up.
To a lot of people on HN, it's obvious that the freedom is to use E2EE is fundamental, and that hardly any other consideration could override that.

To a lot of people who aren't on HN, it's obvious that more needs to be done to combat child sexual abuse online.

Rather than fuming at the government, it would be more useful in the long run if people could come up with actual ideas for combating child sexual abuse that don't require increased surveillance. Otherwise we are left with the unattractive (to most people) alternative to just ignoring the problem.

I mean sure, the government might have bad motivations in this instance. But there is a real problem that a lot of regular people are sincerely concerned about, without sinister ulterior motivates.
