I found this:

> The United States has a religious makeup that’s broadly similar to that of many Western European countries. Most people on both sides of the Atlantic say they are Christian, for example. At the same time, substantial shares in the U.S. and Europe say they are religiously unaffiliated: Roughly a quarter of the American adult population identify as “nones” (23%), similar to the shares in Germany (24%), the United Kingdom (23%) and other Western European countries.

> At that point, however, the similarities end: U.S. adults – both Christian and unaffiliated – are considerably more religious than their European counterparts by a variety of other measures, according to an analysis of data from Pew Research Center’s 2014 U.S. Religious Landscape Study in the U.S. and a 2017 survey of Western Europeans. For instance, about two-thirds of U.S. Christians pray daily (68%), compared with a median of just 18% of Christians across 15 surveyed countries in Europe, including 6% in Britain, 9% in Germany, 12% in Denmark and 38% in the Netherlands.

Also to my perception US citizens always seemed much more religious than Europens.
Looks cool! Are there any security risks posed by ssh'ing into an unknown server?
It all boils down to the liability. A standard residential lease only has the deposit as the collateral for any possible damage. Theoretically the landlord can go after more money with a judgment but it's not very probable to collect from an individual without much property (thus renting and not owning).

For rich and sophisticated renters there is always an option to pay the landlord to do whatever modifications they want.
Even the author of Java, James Gosling, disagrees with you.

I'm not going to get into nitpicking because then it becomes a chain of "well maybe you're too stupid to get it", which I probably am but considering you're hearing from a few people then maybe there's something else going on.

For starters, the reference/borrow checking stuff is opaque. The tick is a lousy visual choice of operator as is 'mut'. The idea that some statements need semicolon terminators while others do not? I don't even want to explore what that's about.
This seems to assume that the 10 strangers are not someone else’s children.

My understanding of utilitarianism is that other factors than keeping someone alive should be considered. Is it utilitarian to save 10 elderly people over the life of a child? It might not be, depending on how long the elderly are expected to live, and if the remainder of their lives is as valuable as those of a child (eg, will their remaining years be unproductive and sickly due to age, while the child’s life may be full of productivity and health).
The way Big Tech has been handling "misinformation" is atrocious. The last thing we need is them sticking their fingers in other platforms.

I agree they have been politicized. I wonder if that has anything to do with the political fight over gun regulations that seems to be unique to the US, or at least have a unique level of divisiveness. It seemed that my grandparents generation viewed guns as just a normal tool, but also didn't have as much active legislation, news coverage, etc. It seems, in my view, it's mostly the increasing disconnect between the urban and rural areas.
The NLRB is not structured or mandated anything like a prosector's office. They're an administrative board which does arbitration; their relationship to a legal court is essentially that of a lower court to a higher court. A prosecutor's office has a mandate to prosecute; the NLRB has a mandate to evaluate evidence on all sides of a labor-centric legal issue and offer a non-legally-binding judgment.
IIRC, investing in lawsuits can also open you up to liability if you lose.
I think one reason is that the big record companies rely on each other for discoverability. Consider two artists in a similar genre both signed to a different label. Label A couldn’t profit from people who would have discovered their artist A by listening to artist B signed to the competitor label B.

Also they can just demand more from Spotify etc. by threatening to pull their catalog. This would hurt Spotify a lot because people like to listen to playlists that include all their favorite tracks and not just the ones that aren’t from Universal Music. A lot of people would probably cancel their membership the next day because the value of it just sunk a lot.

There is no standard environment issue. As long as your charger and device are compliant, it's fine. If they aren't, there is nothing that can be done no matter what you're using.

Charging nowadays requires a high voltage and manufacturers have decided they want to reduce the number of ports, so we have no choice but to have high voltages with a controller in the CPU. An alternative would be to have a charging controller that can be activated and take over, but that's again an issue no matter what standard you're using.

I absolutely endorse Mahindra but if youre outside TN theyre kinda hard to come by. the tractors are less reliable than more modern western designs but faster and easier to repair by far. new head seals rocker arms valve guide seals and an oil change was 6 hours of labor and i actually started to enjoy it. bolts are over-built for what you need in some cases. the gyrovator has some of the beefiest engine mounts ive come across in a long time (looking at you Western Star)

im sure every one comes with a free "you dont want that" from the usual scumbags at the dealer but if you have an engine lift you can service your own Jivo very easily from tip to tail. the only reason our shop saw one was because the owner couldnt safely work on the engine (gyrovator series) as he was 71 years old.
Yes, even from a utilitarian viewpoint, the prospect of living in a society that will murder you if there happen to be a sufficient number of people that require your organs is a dismal prospect. A utilitarian should also account for that very significant negative externality.

Many of these examples fail to take overall utility into account. The sadistic pleasure is another prime example. You must consider not just those who would enjoy the torture but also those that would be repulsed by it.

Same with the cookie. Rewarding a serial killer would make much of society unhappy. From a utilitarian point of view, giving the cookie to Mother Teresa (generally rewarding those who act kindly to others), is a very straightforward choice. The individual perception of cookie sweetness contributes very little to the overall utility.

Thank you for clarifying. I'm assuming (without endorsing) the "capitalist realism" and "rational self-interest" Overton Window of the industrialized West.

I suppose what I'm pushing back against, is the conventional story that tulip bubbles are purely a sucker's game: a belief that "a fool and their money are soon parted" (and the follow-on belief that they deserve to!). There are indeed low-information investors, quasi-gambling-addictions, true believers, etc; but I think we underestimate the game-theoretic trap of zero-sum speculative bubbles, if we merely scoff at the "suckers" buying into beanie babies, or NFT jpegs, or whatever the next thing ends up being.
I guess you're right... I think of it the analogy more like baloons than water bubbles...

How are these false? Framing an innocent person causes less overall harm than allowing a riot to happen. Killing a healthy man causes less overall harm than letting 5 men die, etc.

If you think killing the healthy man is wrong, you probably don't agree with utilitarianism.

Might it be because with music there’s a lot more fandom for specific bands/artists?

For example, if I want to watch the latest Tom Cruise action movie but Netflix doesn’t have it, I might settle for an alternative in the same genre. But if I want to hear the latest Adele album but my “disrupted music streaming service” doesn’t have it, I’m not gonna settle for an artists that sounds like Adele but isn’t her.

So if every label had their own streaming service, you’d basically needed to have a subscription to all of them. I don’t think that’s realistic and maybe the labels’ market research tells them the same?
I read something here about lisp, that it was too good at letting you make whatever you wanted that libraries that 'carry' other programming languages didn't pop up and that had adverse affects on popularity, etc. If someone remembers this and has the link that would be great.
U.S. still isn't #1 in gun related deaths. While mass shooting and random shootings are terrible terrible things. And because they are terrible terrible things they tend to get a lot of press, 2/3 of gun deaths in the U.S. are suicides.

Oh yeah I worked on a similar project at Oracle. The sales people basically sold the state on a 'stack' with a bunch of random horseshit that was magically supposed to work together and then dumped it on engineering. I mean that in a totally serious way, sales seemingly just grabbed a bunch of names of Oracle software and mashed it together. It literally never worked at any point.

Then Oracle sued THEM about it, lmao.

Is such a misrepresentation it is basically untrue. Coronaviruses are (+)ssRNA viruses, which are not the very fastest-mutating RNA viruses, but mutate much faster than DNA viruses.

We don't need to invoke other mechanisms to explain why Covid mutates rapidly. As soon as it was found to be a coronavirus, that fact was already known.
>If a course of action where you do some amount of harm to mitigate a larger amount of harm would clearly result in a worse world, then you are NOT actually summing up all the resulting negative utility in your so-called-utilitarian calculations.

This is kind of missing the point. Even if it were to result in a "better world", the intuition is that it is still wrong to murder the innocent man to save 5, just prima facie. This is a problem for the utilitarian.

Their best response might be to just bite the bullet, but it significantly weakens their argument overall.

I'd be very very worried about a protein model that just came out alphafold to be used to come up with drug targets without at least some molecular dynamics simulation of the solution within which that protein works with.

That’s not at all what I’m saying. I’m not saying we shouldn’t raise taxes for the ultra-wealthy, just that we should also spend time on solving the structural issues that prevent efficient and effective allocation of capital, both new and existing.

What other markets are there, where new entrants face the same problem?
There’s definitely a fight over gun rights in the US more than other countries. It’s a positive feedback loop: gun-related violence prompts for more restrictions which in turn prompts people to acquire (and carry) guns in defiance despite not having other, more practical (self-defense, recreational shooting, hunting, etc) to do so and in turn cause more gun violence, intentionally (escalating confrontations to deadly shootouts that would otherwise be resolved without deadly force) or accidents like this one seems to be.

It doesn’t help that guns are also a political weapon - whenever a party wants to introduce gun restrictions, the other can use this as an advantage to secure votes (supported by pro-gun organisations such as the NRA). This of course isn’t limited to guns per-se but guns happen to be there and have a cult-like following often defying rationality - a perfect tool for politicians to take advantage of.

I’m not sure what a good solution to this would be. In my mind, the right to bear arms is already meaningless - my understanding is the the original purpose of the second amendment was to allow people to be armed to defend themselves against an abusive government - as using these arms to defend yourself against abusive law enforcement is already outlawed and can only result in life imprisonment at best and death (as in by deadly force used by police) at worst.

In this case (assuming my understanding of 2A is correct) I believe a solution might be to forcefully restrict gun ownership. There’s definitely going to be turmoil and collateral damage (I believe guns can be owned and recreationally enjoyed responsibly without harming anyone and it would be a shame to let that go) but the advantages of having less guns around might pay off in the end.
78% of the people hospitalized with Covid have been obese[1]. Almost half had diabetes. Mandates ignore this, and are therefore not logical. At no point in the pandemic has government included in their messaging the need to lose weight and exercise. It's always an argument of top down control.

Interesting. I literally just pushed live a small project for global city searches. Idea was for a drop-in polyfill for Algolia Places (`type: city`) once their service sunsets in May, a service which my org uses a lot. In the polyfil searches run in memory in the browser, served from a CDN.

You could use existing trusted lending Institutions, no? Investors can loan their excess Bitcoin to a lending institution that pools Bitcoin from multiple investors and loans it out to borrowers? In return, the investor receives interest on the loaned amount when it is paid back in full? If the loan isn’t repaid, the courts get involved to seize other physical assets from the borrower (cars, homes, etc.).

In some sense, we would be back to having banks with the exception that the bank now exists solely as an investment vehicle.

I guess I’m struggling to see what barriers prevent crypto currencies from being used in traditional financing?
I'd point out two things though:

1. They are much better now.

2. Other platforms (particularly small ones) aren't handling it at all.

Banks and data harvesters are not good guys. The problem with blockchains is, unlike banks, they let people send abusive messages to me? Every time i wade through my Gmail spam folder I see dozens of sexually explicit messages. Every time I open my phone there’s notifications I dont want that I never asked to receive from, among other things, my bank. I’ve had money taken out of my bank account, charged to my credit cards from services that couldn’t take a, “No I don’t remember subscribing to you and I don’t want your services.” I get physical mail for loans I don’t need at rates, stated in misleading ways, that nobody should take. I didn’t ask for these.

I don’t think blockchains accomplish what they’re supposed to, but you’re telling me the problem with them is they don’t respect and privacy and allow people to send me unwanted messages? Compared to the status quo? What world do you live in?
