I often wonder how people can not understand the world in which we live?

Didn’t President of the United States just go to Saudi Arabia and ask them to produce more oil.

Have we not supplied them weapons for decades?

Does the world use 100 million barrels of oil a day?

Let’s go throw something on a famous painting and maybe that’ll stop.

Still waiting for the batteries and all the renewable energy to solve the problem.

In the meantime, it’s great that people can take the moral high ground for decades on end.

We’ve been trying to get off oil since the 1970’s. How’s that working out?

Code server might be what you're looking for: https://github.com/coder/code-server

The caveat with the above is that you'll need something to host it. You could use a computer on your local network or a VPS of some kind (DigitalOcean, Linode, etc all have cheaper plans for hosting).

Once you get Code Server running, you can add the URL to your homepage to remove the Safari URL bar.

They made a whole movie about this.

My wife and I had the amusing task of learning all kinds of obscure facts about each other ahead of my interview, since we had seen the movie and knew they would ask about which end of the toothpaste tube the other squeezes...

But in the end the person conducting the interview seemed to have seen the movie too and determined that we were bickering sufficiently about our answers to prove the marriage was legit ;)

> Consider an alien which subsists on photons, which is a form of life that exists today.

Plants don't just subsist on photons, there are many other ingredients.

> We know from heseinberg that the sensing of this food "here" or "there" is nonphysical.

I don't know what this means. How do you "non-physically" sense photons?

> Rather it is the concept of objects remaining in a single place that would require some real mathematical innovation to a creature with no experience of such an idea. And so this distinction of entirely separate logical states, far from being basic or inescapable, is our very human invention.

Assuming you're talking about some alien made of bosons that aren't subject to the Pauli exclusion principle, you'll note that bosons still interact with fermions in which that principle does apply, so I don't think your argument follows. I admit I don't really understand your premises though so I have no idea what you really meant.
I worked with the Wikipedia category system a few years ago, and you could see the problems with hierarchical tagging systems right in action back then. (Though it may have gotten better in the meantime)

The system appeared simple: There were just two relations, "Article A is a member of category B" and "Category X is a subcategory of category Y".

However, in practice, the community was using this system to represent a whole host of wildly different relationships between items, often with different implications what a category actually applied to.

E.g., if A has a subcategory B, this could mean one of several things: B might be an additional constraint on the items in A ("American writers" -> "19th century American writers"), the things in B might be more specific than the things in A: ("Writers" -> "Novelists"), A might apply to the concept B, not the things in B ("Occupations" -> "Writers") or A might refer to the category B ("Categories with more than 100 entries" -> "Writers") and on and on...

Of course those different aspects could even be combined. E.g. "Categories with more than 100 entries" might have a child "Categories with more than 100 entries in need of review", which represents a constraint but might itself contain less than 100 entries...

The basic question "Is item X in category Y" becomes impossible to answer generally, because there is no clear indication if a category only applies to its direct children or to all of its descendants or only to the subcategories itself.

I'm sure there are sophisticated ontological systems which would allow users to specify all those different relationships separately. I'm also pretty sure that users would become sloppy after a short time or would disagree which particular relationship to use in a particular situation...
True, but I as expecting them to want to port the browser to other platforms. Well, you can use webkit on those as well, so maybe it's less work, I don't know.

Re: Fire: I wasn’t around for it, but it’s safe to assume people discovered fire was dangerous around the same time they discovered fire, wayyyy before cities existed and before humans decided to harness it.

Re: Social harms from AI: you should ask yourself about the harms that can come from automated decision making. We’re automating decisions for policing, for hiring, for delivering posts on social media, for delivering political advertisements on social media, etc. We’re using AI research for profiling, for improving bomb drones, for getting children to spend time and money on games and social media, etc. I’m sure you agree at least one of these are harmful.

Re: Social harm from ‘deepfakes’: It’s currently costly to create a convincing fake image, audio, or video. It’s easy to extrapolate that it will be easy to make convincing fakes in the near future. It’s easy to see that can cause harm, especially since people are already tricked by obvious photoshops and deep-fakes.

In the US at least, there are political attack ads rampant today that use altered media.

I find it difficult to find a generous interpretation of someone who thinks we should proactively shut-down any discussion about potential and current harms from AI.
It is broadly speaking not legal. Many lawsuits spiralled out of this. In the broadest settlement, workers were entitled to $2,500 in general damages plus any out-of-pocket costs & losses incurred due to this clusterfuck including "a compensation process for severe impacts such as ruined credit ratings, accumulated interest on loans or credit cards, loss of security clearance due to bankruptcy, mental anguish and trauma, or loss of savings from cashing in investments such as RRSPs to pay debts". There's still other lawsuits ongoing.

Ask HN: Why El Salvador's Bitcoin experiment failed?
From a newsletter today and a section that was titled "The Spectacular Failure":

"It has been more than a year since El Salvador became the first country to make bitcoin legal tender under the Bitcoin Law came.

The one-year update on how the law fared:

- Adoption and use of Bitcoin has remained low as the currency has lost about 60% of its value since the experiment started.

- Very few businesses accept payment in cryptocurrency, and even fewer Salvadorans wish to pay in the digital token.

A survey by the El Instituto de Opinion Publica found that 76 out of 100 small and medium-size enterprises in El Salvador do not accept bitcoin payments. Another survey published in March by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of El Salvador found that 86% of businesses have never made a sale in bitcoin, and only 20% of businesses take bitcoin, despite the Law’s mandate that all merchants accept the cryptocurrency.

In Short: $60 million lost, $375 million spent, and little to show for. The Bitcoin experiment was a spectacular failure."

What do you think? What was planned and why this happened?

Amazon union suffers defeat in New York warehouse campaign
>Each one of your posts has exponentially more tangents

Is this not what you were asking for though? I'm addressing all the concerns about these random web3 and defi projects, yes they're tangents but so is the whole conversation as it relates to the original article. None of that fundamentally changes the game, crypto is still a big fraud.

>Forking is a user activated decision. If an honest majority users of the chain wanted to point to a new ENS contract to resolve names to addresses, they could come to that consensus regardless of the will of core devs or root multisig owners.

Ok, with DNS you could also just do this by spinning up some new DNS root servers and trying to get everyone to use that. People have already tried to do this multiple times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_DNS_root

Again you're not saying anything new here. None of this changes just because someone decided to write the name resolution code in ethereum solidity instead of C++.

>If an honest majority of users would like GoDaddy to stop censoring X.com domain, or PayPal to stop blocking funds, they cannot fork the centralized private protocol.

I'm sorry what? This whole sentence makes no sense. DNS is an open protocol, and Paypal isn't a protocol. No you can't convince Paypal to do business with someone they don't want to do business with (unless you force them legally) but the same is also true of the big crypto companies like Binance. If they decide some customer is bad for business they can just block their wallet and force them to go somewhere else. It's the same exact thing. Also I should remind you, Paypal is now literally a crypto company that offers crypto services.

>If a dishonest actor manages to push an unwanted change in DAI contracts to block a user’s funds, the honest majority could easily reject the change by following the old protocol.

How would they do this when their tokens are already gone because the original smart contract was looted? This isn't a theoretical, this stuff happens constantly all the time, another big one just happened last week: https://www.investopedia.com/mango-markets-got-hacked-675007...
As the other guy said.. Simply because a lobby group is behind it doesnt change the message.. "your kids are being indoctrinated" - this is what is taking place in schools these days.

These groups were created because a number of parents are getting upset with what is taking place in the classrooms.

when i went to school teachers never spoke about their political views. They have a DUTY not to do this. These days, math teachers are SJW's in a classroom with a captive audience.

it is unfortunate you opted to post and state that calling out indoctrination for what it is "is part of the problem".

H-6 Bomber-Launched Drones Could Be in China’s Air Combat Future
Your article actually argues in favor of the type of research BU was doing because it's being done post-outbreak: "Once an emerging outbreak virus has been identified, it needs to be analysed quickly to establish what type it is; which molecular mechanisms (such as receptor type) enable it to jump between individuals; how it spreads through human populations; and how it affects those infected In other words, at least four kinds of analysis are needed: genomic, virological, epidemiological and clinical.". BU's work is in the genomic and virological categories and addresses the kind of questions the article wants addressed as part of a surveillance strategy.

The article strongly opposes making predictions of whether a pathogen will be pandemic because predictions are a rigged game. There are enough factors that you are very unlikely to be correct, and even then a true positive combined with successful mitigations erodes public trust because "the severity of the virus had been overblown". Geologists avoid making predictions of volcanic eruptions or earthquakes for similar reasons.

It is not directly opposed to study of pre-pandemic animal pathogens: "Surveys of animals will undoubtedly result in the discovery of many thousands of new viruses. These data will benefit studies of diversity and evolution, and could tell us whether and why some pathogens might jump species boundaries more frequently than others." This makes sense, because study of pre-pandemic pathogens is needed to set a foundation such that the post-outbreak analysis the article wants us to focus on can be completed in a reasonable time frame.

The article is arguing for rapid response and against predictions. It's not opposed to basic research of pathogens, and actually supports this specific type of research.
I long loved Facebook's Workplace, but I feel like it hasn't gained adoption. I think something that mixes chat with support for longer-form discussion would be great.

This is not true. An H1B employee can not apply to become a permanent resident ("green card") based on their H1B employment itself.

As far as I know, the only way to self petition for an extraordinary ability (EB1) based immigration, but that probably applies only to a small percentage of H1B workers. The rest are bound to their employer applying to grant the employees immigration benefits, which the employer may or may not do.

The injury rate at walmart warehouses are apparently much lower than amazon so no, amazon alternatives are not worse in regards to worker injuries. Amazon's algorithmic management is just that harmful. Not sure about the small time logistics companies, but if you want to make a claim put up some proof.

One could (without data) come up with some explanation about reporting rates, and while that should be investigated it would be weird to assume something like that without actual proof.

>According to their findings, Amazon workers are twice as likely to be injured on the job as e-commerce workers for Walmart, Amazon's closest retail competitor. The injury rate for Amazon's delivery drivers — who are classified as contractors rather than full company employees — also have an injury rate that is 50% higher than drivers for UPS, the groups found.

Completely agree. That is why having built a tool similar to this one, I'm not even linking to it. The complexity involved in working around the OS limitations is maddening and convinced me that it would be better to think of a different approach to writing software that wouldn't require monitoring files to achieve the fast feedback loop that these tools are designed to facilitate.

I've kind of found this with certain reporting that I used to automate. I used to be of mind that everything that can be automated should be automated. I've come to realize it's a big mistake as it limits my processing of information. Even cutting and pasting can have me thinking about something more than automating.
The article appears to use these individual cases to draw the conclusion that "speed and competitive pressure in the private space race make workplaces necessarily unsafe". While tragic, I don't know how a few individual cases can show that.

Is there any actual statistics that support that claim? The article says that at least 24 workers have been killed while in the space industry since 1980. Compare that to coal fatalities, of which there were nearly 2,000 fatalities over the same period.

SpaceX has 12,000 people and are making rockets so it seems like some degree of danger will be inherent. Of course this should be reduced where-ever possible, but if the claim is that the space industry is unnecessarily unsafe then I'm not sure that's convincing.

I have a really high standard for my blog posts. They go through several rounds of rewrites, with feedback from friends, before I'm happy with them. That plus the length (median ~2000 words) means that most of my blog posts take weeks or months to write. I can hammer out a tweetstorm in 20 minutes.

(Also, tweets are a fun format! I want each tweet to be a complete idea, which is hard when you have only 280 characters.)
