The mistake, I believe, is to think of an identity separate from being. If "you" were an insect, someone else would be the particular human you are now. That world would be identical to this world. In reality, both the particular insect exists and the particular human exists. There is no “luck of the draw” that would assign identities (“selfs”) to those existences. What could be said is that the reason you are contemplating this question is that you are that particular human being.

That being said, I’m well aware of the curious feeling of the realization that one is the particular consciousness that one is and not any other, and that it seems quite random (and lucky or unlucky, depending on your circumstances). But in the end it’s kind of an illusion, because what would be the alternative? For any being X, of course they are that being X and no other! There is no way it could be any different.
> Whatever argument you're using right now is exactly in support of the current situation.

It's in support of the current system of decision-making, not the current state of the law (which, as I said, I may disagree with). Part of that system is you and I discussing it here and changing it.
Darling, have a tea. Poster commented with a fact. Black humans and women were not included in founders vision of democratic rights.

No one said racism or slavery until you did.

If you want to die on the hill, come up with a rebuttal, like why you think black and female humans should not have voting rights
the warmer weather is coming up and with it the main Russian weapon there - tanks - will be at disadvantage mostly confined to easily defendable roads/bridges and thus being a prey for the main Ukrainian weapon in the coming fight - Turkish drones. I.e. once the ground becomes deeply muddy the Ukraine will have a good opportunity to strike at Donbass (the opportunity they are probably going to use given the recent amassing of their forces there and the strategic advantage they've got with the drones), so the civil population needs to be moved out. To prevent Ukraine from such escalation of the war, Russia has been threatening to hit behind the Ukrainian Donbass forces if they move on Donbass, and the mud will make that threat less effective thus providing the opening for Ukraine.
You can prove you haven't used deniable encryption. Encrypted data looks random. As long as your disks and files don't contain unexplainable random sections, there must be no encrypted data there. Steganography might have been used to hide the encrypted data in otherwise meaningful data, but that is a separate concern.
I'm not sure I follow. At least from my perspective if war were to happen "on his watch", even if it wasn't really his fault / a different president wouldn't have avoided it, there's effectively no chance I'd vote for him. How is this crisis a good thing for Biden?
My bad - not really up on the IOT thing. Regardless LTSC 2019 (non IOT) seems to have 10 year support which goes longer than LTSC 2021
I think sometimes this makes sense. In a lot of math, there isn’t actually a reasonable name for the variable. It’s intermediary and has no real meaning other than it’s full definition.

But I think sometimes they do take it too far and use single letters when full names could exist.
Not at all. The existence of the Gran Turismo game (a simulator) is not the same thing as an AI that can play Gran Turismo.
"Into their coffee shops and houses, the children were building their assumptions about ownership and the social power it conveys — assumptions that mirrored those of a class-based, capitalist society — a society that we teachers believe to be unjust and oppressive. As we watched the children build, we became increasingly concerned.

The kids were discovering that both capitalism and communism have serious problems, that it's really hard to build a system that works, and that somewhere in the middle may be a tolerable compromise.

Too little equality, and people are starved out. Too much equality, and nothing big can be done. "Keep the needle pointed North", from "Freedom(tm)".

Not quite what you're asking for, but makes it possible to tap/trace the other end which might help depending on your goals.
I'd rather not. As much as possible I want to avoid being in a filter bubble. This is an interesting article. If nothing else, it gives a lot of insight into the way a different set of people think. That's useful, even if I disagree with their principles and conclusions.
I can't speak for Github CoPilot as I don't use it nor intend to ever use it but I find this article extremely unconvincing. He is basically considering an IDE as an autocomplete suggestion automaton. For me the features of an IDE that I use and value (fast code browsing both across my code and the code of my dependencies, refactoring support and taking care of mundane stuff like code formatting and import statements) have very little to do with autocomplete method suggestions.

I also find the workflow that author is describing where people blindly probe around until autocomplete suggests them a method that does what they want extremely unrealistic. Most developers will look up various libraries and options to accomplish a thing, indeed the only way you can get autocomplete to even work is if you kinda know what library/tooling you want to use.

For example if you want to use a b-tree for something the IDE can't read your mind, you're gonna have to go on the internet and see the options available in the language of your choice, weight them out, decide on one, add the library to dependency management file in your language and only then will the IDE be able to provide any help.
Single pane windows are not common in the US in anything built in the last 30 years or so (give or take a few decades). Sliding windows are usually 2 or even 3 pane. Movies use single pane candy "glass" windows so characters can be thrown through them.
Thanks again samstave, for explaining it in an illustrative way more down to earth on how everyone wants it now how the Rectangular calendar is now.

This is a challenge, calendar hasn't changed in last 50 years. we are trying to re-imagine calendar. I am assuming you mean you want to see multiple entries in multiple calendar together in one place?

For one day Whats my "family" or "team" doing together in a friendly way
Multi - Calendar view in a familiar dashboard kinda view.

Thanks once again for giving me feedback, would you be interested to see a demo and may be try it and help us build it. you can setup a time here and I would love to chat with you if you are available? https://id.teamcal.ai/id/go/helloraj
Then nobody would use the Windows Store or all the other stuff they want you to use!
I love this move to explore our computing history.

It's a lot more than the popular retro machines. It's so much, languages, people, systems, ideas...

Enjoying all of it very much. We have a rich history filled with vibrant people who really got after the future in their own way.
My home server runs Nixos, which is an amazing server operating system: every service is configured in code and fully versioned. I also use this server for development (via SSH), but while Nixos can be used for development, it's relationship with VS Code, its plugins, and many native build tools (Golang, Rust) is very complicated, and I prefer not to do everything the Nix way, which is usually convoluted and poorly documented.

LXD is my perfect fit in this scenario: trivial to install on top of Nixos, and once running, allows for launching some minimal development instances of whatever distro flavor of the day in a few seconds. Persistent like a small VM, but booting up within seconds, much more efficient on resources (memory in particular), and - unlike docker - with the full power of systemd and all. Add tailscale and sshd to the mix, for easy, secure and direct remote access to the virtualized system.
Pretty much. It's a basic story of teaching kids about unfairness and how to play nicely with each other. The hysteria in some of these comments is baffling.
This is slightly unrelated/related to the author's problem, but I've been working on creating something that can continually scrape websites for updates for me - and tell me when something has changed. Still a WIP, but if anyone's interested: https://fetcher.page
On the one hand, the kids had developed a system that excluded other kids from playing. Past generations would use this as an opportunity to teach sharing and taking turns.

These teachers, on the other hand, took it as an opportunity to teach socialism and collectivism.
School does not challenge beliefs. It teaches you not to do that at all, and to respect inefficient unreasonable government systems. U.S. schools don't even teach your basic constitutional rights. They intentionally block that because if people knew their 5th amendment rights the vast majority of policing wouldn't work.

Public education, like many government pet projects, attract warm bodies, inefficiency, because there is no incentive to be efficient. It's free money to them.
I just checked my copy of Word, and honestly that doesn't feel like an ad. Seems like a pretty cool feature for a lot of people, and your link shows how you can disable it through settings.

It's not asking for money nor does it save your personal information, it's just a Github CoPilot for resumes.
Careful, there could be an alien out there thinking the same about what you just wrote.
I use office 365 and I've never seen an ad (and I would drop microsoft immediately if I did, they are on a very short leash already, although they don't show 3rd party ads their software bags and annoys the f* out of you and makes every effort to steal you data, even on a business subscription, but I digress)

The linked thread talks about a "home" version, and I have (I assume) a business version, though I dont remember seeing an option, that may be why
The way I have always thought about it is we don't really know what will carry meaning in the future. We don't know the real questions asked, or why, or anything really.

So, what we can do in the now is just resolve it all as best we can, preserve and communicate it forward in high fidelity.
I presume a Malaysian study would (though this one is open label study, not hugely significant either way IMO).
On Tuesday 16th of August, 1977 I ten years old and was in Porthcawl, on the coast of Wales, staying in a permanently sited caravan with my sister and future brother-in-law. The announcement of Elvis' death was on the black & white 11" portable TV running on a car battery with a loop antenna. My future brother-in-law was a big Elvis fan and was devastated by his death. I only vaguely knew who Elvis was.

My face was all covered in scabs because on the Saturday prior I had been riding my yellow Raleigh Chopper bicycle down the hill in Pentyrch a little too fast and the small front wheel began to wobble crazily and I face planted hard, at speed, and looked like a victim of domestic violence. I face planted right outside the house with the swimming pool just before Windy Corner, four doors down from where my friend Malcolm lived.

My sister, 10 years older than me didn't want me to go to the caravan because she was afraid people would think she had been beating me.

Tuesday morning was overcast. Grey skies for as far as the eye could see. Though the afternoon was incredibly hot and close and dusty with a strong wind, which is why I was in the caravan to hear the announcement and not outside running around and doing whatever it is 10 year old kids do when they are at the beach without adult supervision.

On Wednesday the 17th me and my friend Malcolm who wore a blue and white striped t-shirt met a couple of guys camping in the dunes in a putrid orange two-man pup tent with frayed guy ropes, one of which had snapped and been replaced with blue nylon string. They were short on food. I took two pounds of my own money, after lying to my sister about why I wanted the money, which is a different story, and I bought a loaf of white sandwich bread & some butter and we sat outside the tent and toasted the rounds of bread over an open campfire in the dunes while the two older boys, who were in their late teens drank some cheap beer and smoked roll-up ciggies they had scrounged up. I impressed them with my ability to roll a tight pack with the Rizzla greens and the classic cigarette rolling machine with the orange plastic and cheap metal, press-fit ends that would never stay closed properly. There was a trick to using them that my older brother had taught me on the same day he taught me how to safely handle a rifle and reload and chamber another round with only your left hand.

On Thursday the 18th I purchased an orange sled for 4 pounds that let me ride the steep sand dunes with the other kids. And there are more stories to tell about that. That sled finally broke, years later, in October of 1981, when I would ride it down the scree slopes on the cliff coasts of Penarth.

And I also keep a journal of every day things and thoughts and events. Though I don't often refer back to it unless it is a moment of "huh! I think I already thought/said that some time ago."

Memory is a strange, strange thing.
Come on. That's like still bringing up the Sony CD rootkit incident as a valid reason to boycott them so many years later. Ubuntu reversed course on ads pretty quickly, and if any of the past 4-6 years worth of LTS releases included ads, then they were so unobtrusive I literally didn't notice anything was there.

If you want to hurt Linux adoption by discouraging the most Just Works distribution for normal people, be my guest. But please at least figure out if it's still got any actual problems that are as bad as the ads in the past, like snap or systemd or something (which IMO aren't even such huge issues - most users won't care).
What's the alternative to public conviction information? Secret trials?
Semen retention is a rediculous idea to you? I bet you wear glasses and are balding
Marx's labor theory of value is wrong.
I don't know about the specifics of Minecraft launcher, but usually these types of unified login schemes are all based on OAuth. The Minecraft launcher never/shouldn't get your actual login, and instead they get a scope-restricted oauth access/refresh token. So everyone is actually authenticating through the same secure interface, and even if one application's credentials get leaked, all they would give access to would be your Minecraft profile, and nothing else. Hopefully.

Separately though, I think it's a good idea to have different Apple/Microsoft/Google/whatever accounts for different purposes. I'm not sure if it makes a whole load of sense to have your (business?) high importance Azure account on the same Microsoft account as your Xbox/Minecraft profile.
Intervening when some of the kids are hogging all the pieces doesn't seem all that unreasonable, especially since, in this case, the adults noticed it was mostly older kids not letting any of the younger kids play with any of the pieces.

That's not a healthy environment. That's literally the big man screwing over the little man.
> it is wildly unsettling to acknowledge that rules can have built-in inequities. So most of the children resolved their disequilibrium by clinging to the belief that the winners were ruthless — despite clear evidence of Liam and Kyla’s compassionate generosity.

Maybe that's why I've seen lots of redditors claim that you can't be a billionaire without being a sociopath.
That was a great essay, thanks for linking. The writer’s experiences overlapped with my own, as I dropped off of Facebook/Instagram/Twitter/Reddit/Snapchat a couple years ago. I still find those platforms distasteful and have no desire to go back to them, but the isolation is real. When you drop off, people really do forget to talk to you. It becomes a real effort and a struggle to keep up friendships. Like people forget you exist when you’re not broadcasting. It’s a little unnerving, and it brings up all sorts of existential anxieties.
Actually, I noticed it because the OP wrote kcal in one place and calories in another and since they were using large units I had to read the sentence twice to make sure they meant the same thing. I don't have a problem with the fact that we have a unit that means something in one context and 1000xsomething in another as long we're consistent in naming (only calories or only kcal in the context of diet). And of course I didn't mean to be mean (no pun intended) to the OP - being consistent is good but this is such a minor thing that we could safely ignore and it won't affect our lives at all - now I even feel sorry I paid attention to that.
The underlying factors are deeper: in many places (read: along racial and other lines) it is difficult to get fresh fruits, vegetables and other healthy food. Add in a subsidized fast food system, massive amounts of added sugar in the cheapest foods, and so on, and you start to see that a "choice" to eat healthy is unfortunately one of privilege. And one of the driving factors in having that privilege in the US is race.
Hat tip to the Chinese company that pulled this off. It's pretty cool. But I still can't help rerunning this scene in my head: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfVKH2pLuiY
> Isn't this finally a conclusive study debunking all the claims saying Ivermectin alone is a good prevention/treatment for COVID-19?

No, because they didn't <administer some particular dosage>/<administer it at the right times>/<administer it when the moon was in the right phase/when Mercury was in retrograde>.

A true believer can always keep shifting the goalposts.
The overly loud eating you hear might have been overdubbed in post-production by foley artists (sound effects technicians).

Read the closing credits at the end of each show and you may find a foley artist was part of the production (and therefore the likely person who created recordings of simulated eating sound effects, to sync with the filmed visuals of the actors eating)
Not sure what you are talking about. Been watching too much Fox News?
You can still create local accounts - it sounds like it is just during initial setup they require a Microsoft account and internet access.
You'll just get discrimination based on proxies for criminal background instead (poverty, suspicious gaps in employment, zip code).
No. Discuss the article. Reasonably, calmly, and keep it around so when people say "what evidence do you have that kids are being taught socialism in school" you can present this 2006 article among others, in a teacher's journal, as evidence that it's been that way for a while.
More importantly, it was the Steve Jobs of the time who wrote those numbers, not the Steve Jobs of billionaire Apple fame.

When you've only a few employees and you need to ship, everyone pitches in.
I didn't downvote him, but I can see why some people would. Many of us aren't going to be coerced into making Microsoft accounts or eating bugs no matter what. Now I've got to take my flip phone out of my faraday bag and return a page from my beeper.
Looks nice! You might be interested in related tools to build off of, like rss-bridge: https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/
That reporting threshold is a direct consequence of tricks like mixers and other anonymizers. It is a neat tech trick but it is also just another form of smurfing / structuring.
How does OP idealize animals? And why exactly does the leopard's capability for pity matter?

I can have pity on a baby, or a tree, and help preserve it, even if it doesn't have the capability to pity or perform a similar task for me.
I don't have a problem with telling kids they have to share if they can't work it out. I do have a problem with the 90% of the article that was about the teachers pushing their ideological beliefs on the children who defenseless against the adults indoctrinating them.
Because EU regulators knew what the response will be. Trade wars go both ways, and EU is more vulnerable in case of all out confrontation.
Crypto is a coup
Highly recommended way to use any flavor of windows going back to way back when - give your admin account a long fancy password and then just rarely logon as that account. Your daily driver is an account with normal priviliges. Also good for Grandma so she can't install a bunch of spyware
The grandparent's example of a different world wasn't the guy picking up the check, it was making six figures by doing something virtually nobody does.
I really want to know what you see the difference to be.
I don't know, my sister and I kept a lot of things around for a long time, in a similar way to the Legotown in the article.

But I'd agree that probably doesn't work if you have a bunch of kids trying to play with the same set. It has to be very clear that everyone is borrowing the Legos, and anything that survives the day's session needs some consent from everyone.
Or, better yet, use it as a teachable moment. They are teachers. Teach. Instead of doing that, they removed the problem instead of facing it. Instead of explaining it to children who lacked the tools to deal with the issue, or the language to express their thoughts completely, they used their lack of language to trap them... from the article:

>>Carl: “We didn’t ‘give’ the pieces, we found and shared them.”

Lukas: “It’s like giving to charity.”

Carl: “I don’t agree with using words like ‘gave.’ Because when someone wants to move in, we find them a platform and bricks and we build them a house and find them windows and a door.”

These children seemed to squirm at the implications of privilege, wealth, and power that “giving” holds. The children denied their power, framing it as benign and neutral, not something actively sought out and maintained. This early conversation helped us see more clearly the children’s contradictory thinking about power and authority, laying the groundwork for later exploration.<<

This is twisting language to trap, like a debate. Something a child is not prepared for. They have neither the understanding of the power structure nor the conversation they've enganged in. They've been punished for crimes they don't fully comprehend and lost the chance to learn engineering, team play and concession, while the teachers have missed out on a very teachable moment because, "We saw the decimation of Lego-town as an opportunity to launch a critical evaluation of Legotown and the inequities of private ownership and hierarchical authority on which it was founded" - but, in truth, it was an exercise in laziness.
It seems the main purpose of that website is to pump the Apple-1 market. It shills certificates of authenticity, outrageous auction prices and makes preposterous claims like "the Apple-1 is the rarest microcomputer in the world".
Just to say that this is probably one of the best written, most thoughtful, caring and lovely "exit articles" that I've ever read!

Well done and I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing you all the best.
I would feel conflicted as well. On the one hand, I would be happy to see someone work hard to build something they're interested in. On the other hand, I would feel nervous about all them getting exposed to the grossness of the internet.
That's like saying that Linux was bad in 1991, so it can't possibly be good enough to use 30 years later. Evidently, stink can wash off just fine.
One thing I strongly believe, ans have iterated it here a couple of times, is that MS uses peripheral software such as Teams to train their new hires.

They knew the new hires need a couple of years to mature, and Teams are bundled with Office anyway, so they won't worry if someone messes with a release.
In this case the author literally gives the full names sometimes. And in fact he leads a paragraph with "Asserting the non-existence (2) of the ciphertext" so whether something gets a one letter variable and some formal logic operator or whether it gets expressed in plain English seems totally arbitrary.
