My observation is that the strong reactions to the Nature article mainly came from people who had limited knowledge of ethics, and limited familiarity with science. I think people’s knee-jerk reaction to this points to something dangerous, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. The open hostility towards guardrails meant to protect all people is troubling.

Nature: “we should try to be nice to each other as much as possible”

Nope. Globalstar's voice and data network (specifically) is a literal 'bent pipe'. They use modified CDMA base stations on the ground, and it's all CDMA end-to-end through the sky to the sat and back down to your phone.

The original phone they offered (the GSP-1600) was a modification of a Qualcomm QCP-860 that they just slapped the Globalstar stuff on top of. The only difference here is that Globalstar's CDMA authentication was done on a SIM card inside the phone (which is a supported CDMA feature, R-UIM).

You can, but I'm not sure how "then" onwards is going to help — the people I've seen conflating these things before will still conflate them after doing this.

I watched the video, and the sense I got was you don’t need to bother to read anything where scientists talk about having figured out what happened at the beginning of the universe because we can never know. This seems to explicitly exclude the possibility that there could ever be a discovery you might read about that would change that.
I’m just exhausted from arguing with the electrically illiterate.

HVDC makes transmission from state to state trivial at almost no loss. We should have a national HVDC grid so that a breeze in Texas might power a toaster in Connecticut.

Instead we have another $XX Billion for Ukraine. Another $13B here for a new carrier we’ll never need etc etc. So much waste everywhere while fundamental problems go unsolved.
> The EU sanctions don't include energy

There are sanctions preventing Nord Stream 2 pipeline to be used. Sanctions also obstruct maintenance and normal operation of Nord Stream 1 pipeline, which had caused the reduction.

One could argue that Russia is not being too consumer-oriented and is overly pedantic in legal maters, but this is hardly surprising at the current level of relations.
Ok, so corruption matters to you?

From my observations Trump (and his admin) were corrupt as can be. Small case in point: Jared Kushner's business dealings where he's gotten huge amounts of money whilst ostensibly serving as a government employee.

> Which religious texts? Each and every one of the texts available for each religion in the world?

I should have been clearer: religious texts on average. Maybe there is some religion out there that is not vague, very clear and not open to interpretation. I'd be happy to hear about an example and explore it further. But the major world religions all have varying interpretations.

> I think Mao, Lenin, Stalin, etc. disagree with you there.

The existance of these monsters does not prove religions don't create issues. Or what's your claim?
T-Mobile's likely going to use their 600MhZ spectrum allocation for this, which is lower than the multi-GhZ frequency used by the other parts of the 5G frequencies, and is less impacted by weather and goes further.
There is a great deal of evidence, philosophically and rationally, for the existence of God.

The Big Bang, first theorized by theoretical physicist and Catholic priest Georges Lamaitre, states the universe sprang into existence 13.7b years ago; it was not eternal as previously thought.

And we know from observation that everything that begins to exist has a cause for its existence.

This suggests that the universe was caused. Since the universe can't cause itself, its cause must be outside of the universe. It must be immaterial; not made up of the stuff of the universe. It must be timeless and not governed by the laws of the universe. And it must be exceedingly powerful to create all the energy that kicked off the expanding universe with its billions of spinning galaxies, stars, and planets.

A powerful, immaterial, timeless force outside of the universet that caused the universe to exist. This points to God.
I agree. Research papers and books (can currently think of one[1]) mention that there is more nicotine users among less-educated.

It's not far-fetched to assume that this substance is not atypical and educated people make in general more health-conscious choices.

My point is the company is not going to provide you instructions that would likely damage or destroy the product, not debate whether or not one should attempt those procedures.

The poll of what were largely ethnic Russians that Kyiv declared illegal to run under any circumstances whose results were corroborated almost exactly one year later by Western pollsters.

> In a group debate, nobody has to (or even should?) change their minds. It’s okay to have different priorities and think different things are best. Debate is not about admitting fault or changing one’s mind – it’s about informing the rest of the group about which arguments one thinks are salient to the judgment.

This hits at a key problem in dysfunctional companies ... since there is often no clear "right answer" people will do dysfunctional things like delay decision making until there is a clear, unambiguously best choice (which may never happen) or force through their preference because other, better, choices have trade offs.

I don't understand why you expect more from them. You are selling employment services on the free market. You told us yourself that you are yet to find someone else offering to pay you the same or more for the same thing.

That's precisely how your bosses are thinking.

The key to negotiating job situations is to have several other offers lined up. Fix your CV and skills so that you're more desirable and the problem becomes considerably more tractable.
> If your loss-leading pricing strategy was unsustainable from the start, that’s on you.

Yes, exactly. Companies can't tell consumers "it's free" and then be surprised people get upset when they change the terms. Do sufficiently sophisticated people know that free plans are always at risk? Yes. But clearly a pretty small percentage of people have fully internalized that, or there would be a lot fewer companies talking up their free plans in ways that suggest they're unlimited along important dimensions like time.
Two ancedotes, one true, one heard fifth hand.

In high school some 30 years ago, I was voted in to student council, and somehow became the parliamentarian (President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and the lowly Parliamentarian).

Eager to wield the little power I had, I was a stickler for the rules. Until someone made a motion to suspend Robert's Rules of Order for the duration of the meeting, which was quickly seconded and approved with all but one vote.

Separately, I heard a story that in the Midwest, a rich man was ticketed for speeding, and hired a big shot attorney. At the trial, the defense attorney moved that the charges be dismissed. The old judge looked down at the prosecuting attorney, the defense attorney, and the defendant. He then called a vote, which passed 2 to 1 and the charges were dismissed.

Not anymore. Certainly never to the extent Japanese relies on it on a daily use case basis. Go ahead and downvote me for this

Up until 90s, early 2000s it was common to read Hanja in newspapers. Starting around 10 years ago they all disappeared. English words have largely replaced complicated Chinese characters and young Koreans no longer learn it.

Instead English loan words are now used so much that most Koreans can't go a few paragraph without using it. Downside it leads to confusion as to what the original Korean words meant. But for sure it is not comparable to Japanese which absolutely requires you to memorize a few thousand Chinese characters, their strokes, pronounciation and meaning.
What does having texts with some degree of interpretation have to do with whether those texts are true or not? Sounds like a genetic fallacy.

An important caveat is that this is practically and theoretically true for "embarrassingly parallel" (in the term-of-art, not perjorative sense) compute problems, and only if one sets aside supply-chain issues.

It's theoretically (but rarely practically) true for network-bound problems of all sorts.

It's not theoretically (and usually not practically) true for storage-bound problems. (Though Wh/bytes-at-rest is a useful bounding metric to understand if you're trying to build a storage business. It's never zero if the integrity of a byte at rest is at all important. Integrity is complicated.)

But in any case, supply chain issues tend to dominate as the limiting factor at the largest scale in my experience. This has always been true, even since before the current clusterfuck.

I don't know enough Prolog to know why you'd want that (please share), but SWI prolog has a SQL interface to run prolog over SQL data, and the author has released it as CSV and JSON, I know SQLite lets you import CSV data, probably other databases do.

JSON to s-expr's should be convertable with simple search-and-replace, or you could just load the file with a json library with reader macros so it loads the data into the appropriate data structures, I'm fairly sure both common lisp and clojure let you read jsons directly like that.

> …I’m sorry, still calling bullshit on this, just like every previous year this rumor came out.

To me, the bizarrely premature T-Mobile/SpaceX pre-announcement ("beta in select areas by the end of 2023") makes a lot more sense if they felt they needed to beat Apple's announcement.

But I'm still mystified by this for two reasons:

(1) Apple doesn't/can't do niche. So either all customers will get this benefit for free, or it'll be another checklist feature of iCloud+ and/or Apple One.

(2) Presumably, there are non-trivial, hardware-related costs to doing this. I find it hard to believe that Apple's going to enable this esoteric capability on every device.

What am I missing?

Good observation. This will mentally plague me for a while.

I think that categorizing cryptography as munitions was based on what the NSA knew, and we probably still don't know. No agency may have inside/concealed knowledge about AI. Or maybe they do, and it indicates no real problems.
In the US I saw those kinds of “bendy plastic clamps” (kind of like a wide plastic staple?) growing up in the 80s, but I have never seen one as an adult. I think they were phased out for some reason (presumably cost).

Apple Silicon will have the title of world's best designed silicon for the foreseeable future. The only way for AMD and Intel to be competitive is if they can match the performance/watt, thin-ness, fan-less and battery life of the M2 MacBook Air. Forget having all of these things at once. AMD and Intel chips can't even function in fan-less enclosures!

Faith by definition isn't something which can be backed by evidence otherwise it would by definition just be a type of science. It would be the study of God via experimentation, accumulation of evidence, and logical extrapolation. There are religious folks that are big on logical deduction and extrapolation but they all start with terribly unlikely axioms pulled straight out of their ass or equally made up fictions rendered sacred somehow by the passage of time.

We know the mortality and virulence of smallpox and the other diseases that the indigenous population had never seen. From that you can estimate a death rate and it's clear that the toll would have been devestating. How devestating might be subject of some debate but no doubt that it was very bad.
When we're talking about laws we're specifically discussing the interaction between companies and "our society" or our communities. Broad strokes like "society" just make it easier to talk about.

A company as big as Amazon exists across thousands of communities, and in contexts that don't even include communities. It can afford to harm some contexts while profiting on others, because it is a monolith. That's why when we talk about business law we need to consider more than just the simple economics, because companies can have greater impacts than that.

Anti-competitive laws are just that, they're not about increasing simple metrics, they're about managing the harder to measure externalities of bigger companies like the ability for a market to be competitive, promote innovation, and to make sure customers have enough choice to choose with their wallet.

That's not 100% true. There can (and is) proof and evidence for validating religious claims. You're conflating belief in the unseen (with evidence) with blind faith without evidence, those are two different things.

Or they should just make more, after the first and second batches sold out.
I agree. I dropped out of school in kindergarten. Why do I have to know my multiplication tables by heart? Why do I even have to know how to add two numbers together? I don't even know the alphabet and how to read and write - I'm just talking into a microphone and this is being written. I don't even know what country I live in or who the polical leader is, why should I? I can look it up online, I just don't have any desire to.

As you can see, your argument is silly.

It's important to know things, in your head.

Of course I realize that you don't mean people shouldn't learn the alphabet or learn math, but where does one draw the line, where they don't have to learn stuff in their head?

But there are always holes in what one is even able to look up. Maybe not for everyone, but for most.

I just and a conversation the other day about this with someone and I was flabbergasted. The topic we discussed is that anyone can create a SQL database - anyone can. But do they normalize the database to 3rd or 4th normal form? He worked with a lot of corporations, and he said most companies don't have normalized databases. In university, that was a basic thing that they taught a semester course on that. An entire semester. Not to memorize anything, but just the general concepts.

Someone can learn how to create an incorrectly structured database easily, but they don't even know about normalization, so how can you even look it up in the first place? And even if you do, somehow, learn what it is and look it up, I took the class for an entire semester. How is someone going to learn it in 15 minutes by looking it up? I looked up stuff in the book, too, and got info from the professor, and it took me an entire semester, and everyone else in the class, too. Unless you're calling us all dummies.

There's all kinds of stuff like that. You don't know how to look up something if you don't even know it exists to look up, and it is not obvious.
Not in isolation, no.

E.g. FIRE. It's not unfair that those who retire early don't continue to get a salary.

It's not even unfair (on its own) that those who are irresponsible with credit cards to go on trips, instead of investing in their future (e.g. staying home and learning), later have lower income.

That's not unfair.
I’m only 10:33 into this video and already facepalming so much. The guy starts with explaining logic basics, which is cool, then goes to blaming some people “leading the atheist movement” (whom I never really listened to and agree that they devote too many of their attention to fight religion, but hey everyone chooses their own way) and then summarizes “if you don’t have any moral authority then what’s your moral anchor” backing it by some citation of classics lacking any context. Right after talking about logic and how these atheist leaders manipulate it. Then goes to repeat some worship nonsense.

Don’t expect many people to watch this hour long blah blah blah.
