If we persume that life is completely based on the physical world, then yes consciousness is based on memory and you can somehow replicate the same consciousness which will continue with different experiences.

But if consciousness is based on what is percieved from physical world, then the consciousness can really take different forms, be parallel, be one single consciousness, and even not be dependant on time at all.

I think more interesting concept, than comparing death with being partially unconscious, is losing your complete memory. If consciousness is related on having past memories and experiences, how can we say a person can be conscious and function without having any single recollection of anything that ever happened.
I get what your saying but how is their artificial firmware limitations different than Apple's own market segmentation practices? Or Google's? Or Microsoft's? Or Hashicorp? Or Docker?

Hmm, I think you're right. I was confused by the phrase "warrant or no", thinking it meant hedora had tried to get data both with and without a warrant and neither worked.
> If our solar system gets destroyed today

That's a useless hypothetical in my book, we have no reason to believe it will be destroyed any time soon and at the rate we're going, assuming we don't destroy ourselves, in another 1000 years we'll have long escaped the potential destruction of our planet or even our solar system. And a thousand years is a very short time "in the grander scheme of things"

I believe the vast majority of people can not really influence events like nuclear wars or any such extinction events so it's pointless to fear or even take into account. So focus on what you can do better, be kinder to your fellow colleagues, neighbours etc. and find problems and try to fix them in a sustainable way. Those things might seem small but they're important too
Thanks; it was ChaCha.
The problem with an autopilot and the reason some of are so worried is because if one fails, the others will fail in the same way.

If one driver hits a bicyclist at a stop sign, we can assign the blame to the driver and figure out the cause i.e. driver inattentive, lack of reflective gear on bicycle. We can then take steps to mitigate this, driver education, requiring lights on bicycles.

If an automated system hits a bicycle at a stop sign, we can try and do the same analysis but my understanding is, we have to interpret the data and might not actually discover the root cause, in which case we have no way of mitigating the failure. Add in the fact that the explanation is difficult or does not make sense to the general public(i.e. the body of the trailer was white and contrasted with the sky as the car went up the hill(public: anyone can see the difference between a trailer and the sky!))

We understand how and why people fail, we can empathize with them and assign blame to them. We don't understand how the computer is failing and can neither empathize with them nor are we actually assigning blame to them(This system is in beta; You must have you hands on the wheel at all time and be ready to take over; X is not liable for any damage caused by use of this system, the user assumes full liability etc.)

wildlife markets were an idea from Mao, because what else are you going to do when you have a population of hundreds of millions that are dying of starvation after colonial expansion and civil war?

But even if it had been intended as a stop gap, at this point its large industry. So if you wanted to "clean up" as in, "end" the wild meat market trade, you'd be ending a large, growing industry, that brings money and food to poor parts of the country that can't afford other foods. Additionally, you'd be crushing an industry that is actively bringing new foods to market that aren't available in other countries, but for which China may one day be the primary agricultural provider.

Not an easy ask for any country to do, let alone a developing one.

If you're asking for better regulation of these markets, then I am sure China will do so over time. But authoritarian countries will never be able to self regulate to the degree a rule-of-law country does. Authoritarianism breeds a "if you're not cheating, you're not trying" mentality that undermines regulatory attempts.
I was using firefox for Android but they removed the support for extensions (actually there is a restricted subset of curated extensions that are allowed).

So I moved to a chromium based browser.

I was using firefox on my laptop because it was in synch with my phone, but bit by bit I started using it less and less.

At firefox they are not paying attention to users, so they are losing them slowly...
This is why Apple is going to continue to crush it. They can build a subpar equivalent to google services and a large portion of the tech world will adopt it for its privacy benefits. The 'tech world' is a large influencer to the general public, leading to further penetration.

It's a great strategy as Google makes 80%+ of it's revenue from Ads, and their ad model does not work well with a privacy first mindset.

Apple designs with privacy in mind. Google designs with invasiveness.
If Google had spent millions of dollars trying to kill Firefox they would not have done as much damage as the MBAs that have taken over.

Do you see Brave as more private and secure? Or do you think it gives a false sense of security relative to Firefox?
My take on this is that potentially this is true, but we don't understand the nature of consciousness yet.

I prefer to think that there is something beyond a specific configuration of molecules that creates consciousness, but I am unable to understand how that would be able to exist within an individual.

However, I can envision a 'plane' - not a plane of individual consciousnesses, but a field, similar to gravity and electromagnetism etc., and where it is concentrated densely, it creates an individual 'well' of consciousness. When an individual dies, it is my belief that the 'well' ceases to exist, and whatever made up that individual continues to exist as part of the field.

I've got absolutely nothing to support this idea beyond speculation, but it brings me comfort to think that just as though the matter and energy that formed myself and my loved ones exists only as part of a much larger ecosystem of matter and energy, and once our bodies are nothing more than cold soil, our consciousness also becomes part of a much larger ecosystem.

They say that a million atoms that are currently in my body today were also part of Jesus' body. Similarly, I imagine that in 2000 years, parts of my consciousness will also be part of others' consciousnesses.
> I nominate putin for the nobel peace prize based on his efforts here.

You're implying intent on his part. If any single person in the world would want renewables to never exist, it would be him. I also am aghast that you would feel this way about a man destroying hundreds of thousands of lives. The man is evil.
1960s America led to 1970s America, which had a lot more concern for the environment. It's inevitable that as problems accumulate, people affected by them will want to do something about it.
That sounds like a low risk, high reward amusement. Before cameras were everywhere, of course.
Maybe they looked at the US statistics, 29 million users in July 2019 to 22 million users now is quite the drop.
Since when does police issue warrants? A warrant is issued by a judge, unless it somehow works differently in the US. I assume police just didn't do anything with that warrant.
> Is it really the same consciousness though?

And to push it further, in what sense is each moment's consciousness the same as the previous?

This is just like "racist" and "groomer" in online discourse. I would hate being told "we don't do that here." Tell me why you don't do it. This is another way to ossify discourse and prevent people from questioning anything.
Why should tax dollars be sent to a private company without anything but a promise in exchange? The promise of "jobs" isn't enough, as evidenced by just about every single other time that these programs (including the tax cuts) happen. Further, how are we going to hold these companies accountable for their promise? What comes to mind immediately is when we gave telecoms a bunch of wire up rural America, and they purchased and consolidated the cell providers instead.

If we just write them a check, they'll do whatever they want with it. They need to be held accountable, and ownership percentage is a way to do that.

Alternatively, the gov could take this money, start up a corporation of their own, and make their own fab. The language in part of this bill is that they are trying to ensure that older tech and DoD stuff is made in house. So let's make it in house.

We don't necessarily need to say "we're buying intel or nvidia", but we can make the money available to any company in exchange for the ownership percentage. That eliminates the "playing favorites" issue, I would think.

Not nostalgia, DSLRs get vastly better battery life than mirrorless cameras. Because there is nothing using electricity in the optical path, you're just looking through the lens. A mirrorless on the other hand is constantly using power for the screen.

I knew a mother who allowed her kids to question everything all the time. It was cool to watch. Once. After a while I realized why she was also the most tired mom I had met. At some point the kids realize dessert before dinner is a question we are safe to ask, so we are gonna ask it four times a week. I’m not sure if she ever saw that she conditioned them into that via random reinforcement. They didn’t stop until the youngest was about 14. That’s a long time to be tired.
I might be reading something wrong, but in 2019 the number is about 250 million. In 2022 the number is about 200 million. Losing a 5th of their users in a couple years seems like a big change to me?
It's nice when you can pass laws.
Humans understandably are extremely averse to the idea of dying for a stupid reason, especially if control over the death is shifted away from the person, in which case they are more "furious" than "averse". It's why we hate drunk drivers so much. If I introduce a car that reduces deaths to near zero, but the remaining deaths are caused by a robot arm that is programmed to pop out and stab the driver, people are not going to accept that. If my car reduces car deaths dramatically, but the remaining deaths are caused by the car killing you by accident in an extremely dramatic way that you are confident you would have avoided if you were driving, e.g. swerving off the road and driving at full speed into a median, or into a truck that you can see but the car can't, people are not going to accept that either. You can not shift a person's ability to protect themselves away from themselves and occasionally kill them with your solution simply because your system is better than the average across all humans, even if it's much better.

It's frankly a little baffling that this part of human psychology even has to be explained. It's like the trolley problem: There seem to be some people who don't understand why you wouldn't simply pursue the result that holds fewer deaths - who don't understand why the trolley problem exists at all, what the point of it is. I suspect there is a relationship between these people and the people who don't understand how there could be any part of decision-making about autonomous vehicles apart from the raw numeric value of deaths vs non-autonomous vehicles.
I'm kind of amazed the government doesn't embed a RAIN RFID sticker in renewal tags. They can be read ~30ft away and cost just a few cents per.

I also had one of these. I think I completed one of the designs included in the kit, but it broke apart relatively quickly. As alluded to in the article, it was relatively easy to make a surface weld that didn't penetrate far into those little black plastic I-beams from the kit. From what I recall, the "welding rods" in the kit were the same ABS plastic that the I-beams were. I've got to wonder if a slightly harder plastic (or with a higher melting point) for the rods themselves would have worked better.

Years later, I built another dragster from the Lego Technic 853 Car Chassis and the steering from the 854 Go-Kart.
I doubt it. DALL-E struggles with text, and the Windows logo is missing from the Windows key, which suggests a level of concern for trademark law that I doubt DALL-E possesses.
Has Wyze ever provided privacy guarantees on their cloud service? Their privacy policy says they will gladly share data.

> In response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, any applicable law or legal process, including lawful requests by public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements;

IANAL but that sure sounds to me like they will provide data in cases where they aren't legally required to (as in a warrant) as long as they believe it's "in accordance with" the law. Which could mean almost anything other than a clearly illegal request.

https://www.wyze.com/policies/privacy-policy#c

I like Wyze and think they are acting in good faith, but I wouldn't assume they would say no to a request from government/police. They may offer local recording and RTSP, but AFAIK they are still cloud connected unless you otherwise block them or use alternate firmware and hence not private.

You are giving me bad flashbacks to Internet Explorer websites. When I worked at a large (fortune 500) defense contractor the new timecard portal was ie only. We had no windows machines (we were a SunOS and HPUX shop). Solution was to set up a citrix windows NT environment, so we'd all have go to a separate terminal and remote into these machines to do our time in IE.

For me firefox was failing on some ordering sites, but it turned out to be I had ublock origin on my firefox which some sites won't work with.
You completely missed the point I was making, which is that you are just using a group of people to justify denying healthcare to some - like it was done with gay people and HIV. You're just targeting self defined promiscuous people instead, ignoring the fact that some people get those diseases never having slept with anyone, or having a stable partner. But sure let's deny them care because you feel like some punishment is in order.

I feel like my punishment today is arguing with someone like you on the internet, I don't know why I'm doing it to myself frankly.
Tens of millions of people in only about 27000 days is approximately 700-4000 people per day as a long-term average (if tens means 29-99). Don't you think killing a thousand people per day and getting away with it requires considerable competence? Thirty thousand in a month, and not even one arrest, month after month after month?

More competence than writing wildly wrong reports about Saddam Hussein's weaponry, and much more than I'm willing to believe about the CIA. Remember, this is an organisation that used to respond to agents being uncovered by sending in a new agent, who would then use the same car as the agent whose cover was blown.
It is a 'when' not 'if' since it is becoming easier and easier to self-host, and more people are realizing the benefits. I did it this year and convinced many others to do the same or use mine.

Hackers go after value targets which are companies or organizations holding a lot of valuable data. My little home server with social media, XMPP, Home Assistant and Nextcloud for pictures and such is not something they can do anything with. Good enough security is built into most self-hosting platforms.

This definitely seems like a decent explanation in my opinion. Sure Firefox is available on mobile, but on iPhone there's not much point to it since its WebKit anyways, and Androids have Chrome on them by default, which most people are already comfortable with.

I feel like I care more about my browsing experience on my desktop than I do on my phone, and I would guess that's a fairly popular opinion, so on mobile I usually use the default, but on desktop use Firefox.
I have been using Notesnook[0] for over a year (mostly because its encrypted and private) and it has helped me tremendously. Obsidian is too text-editor-esque for me. I haven't tried Logseq or Dendron though.

I actually like how Notesnook forces you to keep your organization at 2 levels. Restricting at first it helped me simplify my workflow a lot and finding things is a breeze since I know it can't be more than 2 levels deep. For some reason I can't wrap my head around interlinking; hierarchy based organization is good enough for me.

Taking notes doesn't need anything else.

Aside: the recent news about Notesnook going open source[1] has gotten me really excited. This might actually turn out to be a notes app I stick to. Let's see where the winds blow...

In a way, yes.

However, we need to know what we mean by "manipulation" here. Manipulation, in colloquial usage, refers to the act of deceiving others, and often causing harm, in order to achieve some selfish desire.

In general, "manipulation" as "human interaction" does not require malice (malice, in my experience, leads to extremely poor manipulation tactics, as humans are not stupid, and will realize what you're doing and retaliate).

E.g. when you're encouraging a friend to call a girl he likes by telling him about all the good things that may come out of it, you're manipulating him - you're telling him things that will affect his feelings in a way that will make him do what you want, i.e. call the girl. In this particular case, this kind of manipulation is actually benevolent.

Human beings can and do influence each others' feelings using words all the time. Most of the time, that influence is subconscious, and often it is harmful. Being aware of how your words and actions influence other people - i.e. knowing how to manipulate people - is a tool, and just like any other tool, it can be used for both good and evil (of course, "good" and "evil" are always subjectively defined, but you can take any measure you want and you will always be able to use manipulation for either).

I don't like using the word "manipulation" because of the above reasons. I prefer the more Wittgenstein-ian term "wordplay", because that's all it is - just playing with words in some contexts that we're familiar with, which we know will make stuff happen.
Try a written question and answer session with yourself. Begin with questions like: "What is the problem" and "Why is that a problem." Keep asking questions about your answers and writing out your answers in full. Writing this out is essential. When you reach some conclusion, write it out too. I find this clarifies my thinking and leads to useful conclusions. Good luck.
You might misunderstand the point here.
