> How does annoyance justify not allowing cyclist to use the road safely?

I'm not justifying "not allowing cyclist to use the road safely", I'm pointing out that people don't like obstacles. It's not specific to cyclists like you make it seem, and not specific to car drivers like you make it seem.

It's unreasonable to expect that people not be people.

Um, no, the idea that evolution has a telos is dumb. Anthropomorphization is a useful short-hand. Nature has no opinions about a vacuum. Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literal_and_figurative_languag...
Someone like Ive, and anyone within his professional circle, would necessarily be intimately familiar with the concept of “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, just as best is. Any one designers design is the best for that designer. Best, by anyones definition, doesn’t always make the cut.
Where possible ensure that children are brought into the world by people in a position to emotionally and financially support them. Availability of contraception being one thing.
Sometimes I wonder if the epidemic of abuse is in part a bad feedback loop from society raising expectations of parents. It wasn't so long ago letting your kids play alone at the park, walk themselves to school, or sit in the car for 5 minutes while you go in and buy some milk wasn't criminalized. Now parents practically aren't even allowed to leave their kids alone at all, meaning there's no relief for some parents. I wonder if this increased punishment of parents by society leads to increased abuse.
Seems like both HTTPS and HTTP/3 can be censored by looking at the Server Name Indication (SNI)? The report says that’s exactly what Russia is doing today. Then I’m confused by this statement

> So, while it is technically still possible to censor HTTP/3 connections based on the SNI in TLS, the collected data shows that hardly any censors actually parse and use this information (even when they do parse the SNI in traditional HTTPS traffic).

Most of these countries would use censorship software developed elsewhere. Once this software becomes capable of reading the SNI in HTTP/3 traffic, seems like we would return to the status quo?

> Judging others’ morals is a slippery slope.

Not judging them is a damn sight more slippery. All it took for German society to go straight to hell was to not judge their madman’s claims about minority groups.

Far better to refuse the business of the corrupt, than to ignore it and participate in it.

When I read "2kg/week", I almost jumped. That is a big number! Google tells me that 7,700 calories must be cut from your "normal diet" to lose 1kg of body weight. It would be an incredible feat of willpower to consistently cut 15,000+ calories per week from your "normal diet"!
That is a very American view of public health care.

The world view is that public health care is actually a massive subsidy for corporations, who obviously benefit from a healthy (and educated) pool of workers.

That public health care is fought against in the US is more about the hideously large and inefficient health care juggernaut in the US that lobbies against the publics interest in their own favour. Forget the smokescreen that the US calls "socialism", the word has no effective meaning there other than an epithet.
CBT, meditation and "fostering resiliency" are poor for healing from childhood trauma, please don't follow this advice.

Instead:

* Internal Family Systems

* Books: Body Keeps the Score, CPTSD: From surviving to thriving, Whole Again.

* Get validation of the abuse/neglect you suffered.

* EMDR

* Yoga with a focus on emotions stored in your body

* Emotional mindfulness, emotional vocabulary (alexythimia).

* With the previous one, paying attention to your needs.

* Boundaries

* Changing self-talk

* Foster the opposite of resiliency. Traumatized people have had to be strong and resilient their whole lives. What they need is softness, to be heard, to be seen and feel understood. To be vulnerable, to rest.

I'm not requiring specific physical processes, I'm asking for any physical process in a hot iron bar that executes any model of computation that is capable of running an arbitrary program. But you're saying there is not one, we just get lucky one time. That's not computation.
Its "evolution" in the sense it's an attempt to apply concepts from evolutionary theory to engineering problems and the principles of biological evolution are similar in the abstract.
Except that this didn't happen with the NHS or with Australia's public health care systems. The worst and most rampant corruption in healthcare is the US health insurance industry. The US could fix that, but the entire country no longer has any basis for reliable discourse on a subject like healthcare, which is by design.

You can but it shifts the burden to the decoder. Since an iron bar over some time period has a finite number of states, there exists a decoder that maps state changes in the iron bar to your Fortnite gameplay.

I think a more fair criticism is that you likely cannot choose the decoder without an oracle (ie the causal relationship would be hard to preserve). I think OPs claim is that consciousness, unlike Fortnite, doesn’t depend on being causally related to some external inputs (thus you don’t need oracle to choose the decoder).
I refuse to believe that these takes are not clickbait at this point
On Friday, I had the California Franchise Tax Board empty one of my bank accounts without any notice. They graciously left $0.01 in there. I am not a tax dodger, I pay all my taxes and I've never had an issue anything like this in my nearly 50 years on this planet.

They sent me a certified letter to an old address informing me of this the day after they did it. Claiming I owed taxes for a period when I wasn't even living in the country. This is some sort of mistake on their end that my accountant is going to have to sort out this week.

You can laugh at crypto all you want and say 'not your keys, not your coins'... but this event is taking a whole new meaning for me. I agree, Celsius and centralized services are bad, but it isn't like the government is any better. Don't think you're safe with your 4 letter acronyms. It is all fun and games until something like this happens to you.

Luckily they emptied the wrong account (which had little money in it) and I rushed to the bank to empty out the account with most of my money in it. Now I get to deal with the cashflow stress of it all.
Over last 10 years have used Freemind & (last few years) Xmind to kind of make superfast flow charts in the tools dressed as mindmap tools. So i can see the appeal of knoted here for quick jotting down of thought flows.

But have also enjoyed making nice diagrams in mermaidjs especially the sequence diagrams. Prefer markdown to digram for code maintainability. Was recently seeing a youtube talk from C4 author on composable diagrams and agree to a lot of what was said in the talk. Src: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za1-v4Zkq5E

Keyboard to diagram is much faster than mouse based diagram tools and have found them better for long term use cases. Quick diagraming in excalidraw or figjam doesn't hurt though when brainstorming especially with not very technical folks as they can easily contribute.

You seem to misunderstand the importance of knowledge building on previous knowledge. That’s the foundation of productivity gains and the engine of economic growth for centuries - learning to do things better.

An example of this I read elsewhere - Alex Honnold climbed a mountain with no safety equipment in 4 hours when it took weeks and plenty of safety gear a century ago. What changed? It was knowledge that people shared that made them more productive. Not just climbing routes, but fitness and dietary knowledge. For example, Honnold does yoga to stay in shape, which few climbers were doing back then.

So when you say “real work” instead of “throwaway”, you’re underestimating how important knowledge is.

I used to think that abuse had to be conscious and with intent to be abuse but it most definitely doesn't. A parent can be doing their best, and loving in their eyes, and abusing/neglecting their kid.
> it is a common article of faith that computers will one day gain consciousness.

Is this actually a common belief?

I believe that human level AI (or above) is achievable.

I'm not at all sure about consciousness. I don't believe it is sufficiently definable for it to be achievable (which is actually a a problem with general intelligence too really).
Thank you for the link.

Except that 4 is not 1+1+1+1, it's the successor of 3, which is the successor of 2 which is the successor of 1 which is the successor of 0. So you'd have to show that:

S(S(0)) + S(S(0)) = S(S(S(S(0))))

and that is non-trivial. (But it's not 26,000 steps either.)
I think the Switch is an example of how little these exploits really matter now. They had a maximum severity bug that was unpatchable and allowed piracy as well as several other patchable ones later and yet the switch did fine since the vast majority don’t want to be banned from online multiplayer. Switch piracy is very contained to a group of tech enthusiasts.

Compare this to the DS and DSI where piracy carts were sold at retail stores and had zero downsides and were widely popular.
I thought all UNIX heads longed for the days we used to telnet or startx into the UNIX development server, everyone had their $HOME configured with noexec, and the tooling configured by the BOFH team.
Here is an article that discusses the topic quite broadly [0]. The most relevant section is part 4.

I will freely admit that it actually refutes some of my claims - that's are actual example of simple syntax identified in several species.

Still, I believe it matches my broader point: there are a fundamental, measurable differences between human language and animal calls, with the latter at best showing only very basic structure, if any.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Monderman

>Hans Monderman (19 November 1945 – 7 January 2008) was a Dutch road traffic engineer and innovator. He was recognised for radically challenging the criteria used to evaluate engineering solutions for street design. His work compelled transportation planners and highway engineers to look afresh at the way people and technology relate to each other.

>His design approach is the concept of "shared space", an urban design approach that seeks to minimise demarcations between vehicle traffic and pedestrians, often by removing features such as kerbs, road surface markings, traffic signs, and regulations. Monderman found that the traffic efficiency and safety improved when the street and surrounding public space was redesigned to encourage each person to negotiate their movement directly with others.

Yes, there is a good possible outcome - they post it, we see it, and then, if possible, we take corrective actions.

Especially after writing "people will assume that being an asshole is a representative sample of those groups. It is not, but logic is not this species' strong suit."

=> xena does acknowledge, that most people will assume that the whole V community is hateful, and even then, used terms like "V cult" and "hatemail".

Accusing an entire community of people of hate, for the actions of a single one, is not nice at all, especially, when it is done without evidence, with just vague descriptions.

Have you considered, that in all these, it may be the V developers, that are in the minority???
People are dependent on government anyway. Your life is very much in the hands of whichever entity wields the most power. Sometimes this power is direct and immediate (like a tyrannical despot). Other times it's less direct but no less powerful (democracies controlled by corporations).

On using healthcare as a tool for coercion - whilst it's a debatably bad outcome, it's generally still better than healthcare locked behind money (the latter resulting a continuous, persistent denial of healthcare to some portion of the population - the former being a once off, or possibly intermittent, denial of healthcare).

Of course healthcare isn't free. The worst case, of course, is when healthcare is both paid for via taxation and then subsequent billing by non-government entities.
Yeah, try to argue in front of a court that this somehow covers private signing keys.
The problem is rent seeking. There are some industries that get stuck at a positive return on capital because they are based around a monopoly. Real estate sits on land and land is the original monopoly.

So everyone starts buying up the monopoly and blames the interest rate for the increase in price even though it should be obvious that a monopoly that fulfills a basic human need has almost infinite pricing power and therefore can always demand everything you have plus some. Raising the interest rate means you can afford less but they are still going to take everything you have.

Singapore solved the problem with public land ownership.

There are more examples of rent seeking but housing is the worst one I am aware of.
I’ve found that a significant number of media queries can be replaced by fluid rules instead. E.g. instead of setting padding and full width on a container for mobile and a fixed width on desktop, do this for all breakpoints

width: min(calc(100wv - 2rem), 80rem)

Instead of resizing text for different breakpoints, use

font-size: clamp(2rem, 4vw + 1rem, 3rem);

etc. No media queries needed. I also find it easier to reason about since you don’t have different rules applying in different circumstances.
> Coinbase is my dream company and seeing the public perception is making me second guess it.

Many people have 'dream companies' that turn out to be 'nightmares'. Don't put all your choices in only one company. There are others that are better than Coinbase that are not in the public eye.

The problem with Coinbase is that their stock is tied and correlated to the price of Bitcoin.

> So many people keep saying they will go bankrupt in 6 months

Does that mean that they are right? I certainly don't think so.

Last year, many people said lots of funny things, like 'Do you think BTC is worth $500k? If so buy Coinbase.' [0], 'This isn't even close to what will be the all time high' [1], 'Doge to $1 by September 2021' [2] and after replying to tell everyone to wait for it to crash then you have 'What if the current bull market goes to $200k, and then the bear market retreats to $100k?' [3].

Fast forward 1 year, what do you think they will be saying now?

In fact, we will all find out why Coinbase didn't shut down in December. Coinbase isn't just an exchange.

It is tied up in more than that. Look up UST and Badger DAO.
I would just add that public health care also adds legitimacy to government; a tangible reason for it to exist. Legitimacy is something that appears to be on the wane in the US.
That sucks, but you have legal recourse and are likely to get every cent back.
> Very little reason to believe they aren't, for the most part, as bunglingly ineffectual as they were then

Really? I thought there was plenty of reason. There has been lots of reporting on Russian troll farms and concentrated Russian efforts for Brexit, Donald Trump. There was also quite good reporting against the propaganda war in the Central African Republic between the French and Russian armies/intelligence services.
For sure, what you're saying is true, but I suppose it depends on the content, layout, and how it's used. Vertical is typically better when first word type scanning is important, like data tables or anything similar. Horizontal scrolling in data tables is something I hate with a fiery passion and do everything I can to avoid, for example. When a workflow or series of interconnected elements are what's important than horizontal tends to work better for how people think about those things, imo, but there are exceptions to every rule. Basically, it just depends.
I can only provide an oversimplified explanation, but the mass-selling of particular assets to which Celsius is over-exposed in order to trigger price dumping and therefore asset liquidations. stETH as the primary vector.

There may also be a Celsius-token short-squeeze being coordinated in order to help Celsius maintain some level of perceived value.

Who knows the reality, but it's interesting in a financial-trickery context.

I dislike Cloudflare for many of the reasons mentioned here. I did not know all of the things that they mentioned there, but some of them I did know. There are other problems too, though. (However, some of the problems listed there perhaps can sometimes be avoided, like other comments on here will mention.)

I do not use Cloudflare for my own services; unfortunately some others do, and I cannot usually avoid it if they do.

Consciousness can end temporarily, perhaps permanently. This in no way suggests that it’s an illusion.

The claim that consciousness is an illusion has always seemed like nonsense to me; for, if consciousness is an illusion, who experiences that illusion? Answer: the conscious mind.
Relating 'Camgridge Analytica' to this situation is a bit hyperbolic.

CA 'scandal' was vastly misrepresented by most in the press, it was a bit of a problem, but completely over stated.

I worked at a company that received 'special access APIs' from Facebook (something indicated during this scandal) and it was not only benign but the mechanics were misrepresented.

That said - it's reasonable to wonder 'What Is Happening Now?'

Another question is ... is it rational and/or moral? That's a more difficult question to contemplate for younger people I think, who have less exposure to the mechanics of the world, which are materially relevant. My view on that has evolved so much over time, it's so hard to say.

> If two thing cannot possibly be observed to be different then they are the same.

I think that suffers the same flaw as logical positivism: if my axioms can't find a difference, there isn't one, no way my assumptions are wrong. (Namely, my axiom is that external observations capture the entirety of reality, there is nothing subjective.)

If two people laugh at a joke, one faking and one actually finding it funny, what is the externally observable difference? Assume the faker has been trained in all manner of knowledge about what would make the joke funny, they just don't find it so.

Yes there are good singleplayer games around, but the vast majority of people will at some point want to play a multi player game as well. The group of people who are willing to permanently give up multi player to save money on single player games is quite small.

In the modern internet connected era, piracy is almost completely solved. A good example is the Nintendo Switch. There have been several major exploits which have allowed full access to the system and priacy, and yet it has hardly touched their profits since multiplayer has become such a big aspect and network updates allow this stuff to be fixed.

Compare this to the Nintendo DS and DSI. You could buy piracy carts at almost every retail store and almost everyone was doing it. There was also no downside to the consumer since it didn't require giving up anything. Piracy was a massive issue for this console.
