Option 2 isn't exactly reflective of how most animals are kept. If you were rewrite it to have similar conditions, it would be a far less rosy picture of rape, young being taken away at birth (because they and our milk is delicious to aliens), hands being docked at birth so humans don't cause trouble/start fights, etc. Not exactly a fun picture I would want to opt descendants into.

It also ignores that, in your parallel, we are the aliens. The aliens could make an option 3:: don't eat humans. And all they lose is something they find tasty.

How confident can we be about what other potential universes might be like with different fundamental constants? Maybe if we pick one constant and vary it slightly, we can reason that there would be less carbon, but how do we know that some other combination of parameters wouldn’t create some other phenomenon, unknown in our universe, that could act as the substrate of life?

Especially considering we may not know what all the parameters are.

It's been a while since I bought a car, but this approach has worked out very well for me as well with every vehicle I've bought from a private party. Meet the previous owner, talk enough to decide if you trust them (walk if you don't), and learn about what the car's gone through. I'm much more nervous to buy a car from a dealer who usually has no idea what the car's been like aside from the state in which they brought it in.

If there's a specific model or models I'm shopping for, I do some research (reviews and forums) to try to get to know their quirks and pitfalls so I can check for them when I go to see the car. I tend to over-research big decisions but with cars it's useful to know what I'm getting into and what to watch for in the future.

I've found a 2-step process helped me a great deal. The first is to identify the general broad areas that work best. This video by The Futur was really helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2SqqjRn_c0 It helps you find the overlay in Things You Are Good At, Things You Enjoy, Things that Help the World, and Things that Pay Well. In that venn diagram center you'll find the areas that are likely to be the highest successes for you long term.

After that, I took a page from Sam Harris' "Moral Landscape" to think about my 'journey' topographically. I know that where I am standing now isn't good.. and thanks to Ikigai above I have some vague ideas of where I'd like to head next.. but I don't know how to get there. So I just start walking. I JUST DO SOMETHING. Basically I'm just trying to get a 'better view' of my destination. This first step might be wrong, but at least that should give me some new insight to course-correct. Repeat until it works. Its not a sexy answer, but its an effective one.

I created Tiny Flashlight for Android 12 years ago. It's been downloaded almost 500m times. Back then every hardware vendor implemented the camera API in their own way and it wasn't easy to start the camera led. I had to purchase many different devices from different carriers from all around the world just to find out a way to start the camera LED. It was very helpful when the vendor published the kernel source code with the camera drivers for the particular device model. I could send custom commands to the driver to start the LED, where it was not possible using the standard camera API.

> Self defense is an easy first place to look.

There are some extremely relevant and notable moral differences between someone defending their own life from a threat, and raising a lamb in a cage so small that it cannot turn around, forcing it to drink it's own urine in a desperate attempt to recycle the little iron it has in it's system (gotta keep the meat anemic and tender!), before stunning it with a bolt gun and slitting it's throat. All because you enjoy the taste.

It is not a case of having different values. It is a case of being socialized from a young age to disregard the wellbeing of certain animals. The values are fundamentally the same.
> I'm not asking why it's not classified as one, rather, why it wasn't made one.

Because Android was intended to be a business platform that creates software artificial scarcity so that it can later be filled with paid products and services. Linux is an operating system which empowers the user by offering multiple choices for every problem. They have nothing in common, especially the kernel, which is ridden with closed source drivers and blobs.
Being forced to use mostly one programming language (Java) which isn't exactly known for its performance also has a price to pay.

This is one of the Alpine Linux VMs I'm playing with.

https://ibb.co/rtRzW21

As you can see, a desktop with Firefox, Libreoffice and Gimp (the real ones, not dumbed down mobile versions) loaded can run in under 1GB or RAM and no swap. Note that this is the full x86_64 image one would use for real iron, not the VM optimized one which would probably save some more resources. I have also put it on two laptops and figures are identical. Just think of how many "obsolete" tablets could be saved from a landfill if manufacturers opened their firmware and unlocked old devices bootloaders once they're out of production.
Android, as any other proprietary mobile OS, is used to prevent that, therefore I think turning it into a Linux distribution would require too much effort with an end result that would satisfy neither mobile OS users nor Linux hackers. Porting regular distros to mobile platforms is the way to go, although it's a very slow process because of the mobile industry working hard against it.
The UK is (still) officially metric, just with a few exceptions - speed limits being one of them.
I get downvoted all the time, sometimes I failed to express my intent properly and caused a misunderstanding. Other times I expressed a view or opinion that was unpopular. There is no way to distinguish "i disagree" vs "your comment has bad arguments or intent and don't add value"

For example, I was going to leave an honest comment: "She is mostly right and I have no problem with it. Beauty is an advantage, as well as money, class and who you know. Just getting a lawyer depends on those factors before you even reach the court" it is an honest observation but guaranteed downvote.

It would be better to require a comment reply for a downvote but no requirement at all for flagging a comment.

> We mocked, ostracized, and argued them out of common spaces until they created their own.

They weren't pushed out, they walked out because their views weren't accepted. That's the problem with this line of thinking: people will only stick around if you're willing to accept their beliefs as reasonable to some extent. But nobody accepts that for ideas like Flat Earth or white supremacy, so they formed their own communities where they do.

There's no way around this. If you try to "keep them around", then you have to say that these are reasonable ideas. And if they are reasonable ideas, then why should they drop them? This is how they spread.
Why not just look at market share across all devices? Which makes chrisseaton's point: Firefox sits at 3.26% as opposed to Safari at 18.61%.

I'm also a parent and although I fully execute my duty to the best of my abilities in the interest of the child I never found it to be particularly advantageous position to be in. You're basically on-call constantly for an often rote and laborious task and there is no guarantee you're going to enjoy it. If you do it well nobody (except if you're very luck the child) gives a fuck and if you fail or have remarkably bad luck you end up in prison. I doubt I'm the only one that just tries to enjoy it to the extent to keep my sanity, for the same reason I would try to keep smiling while in prison.

My personal advice is if someone has an enjoyable life now and don't absolutely have to have children, stop and think hard about the fact you may turn a lifestyle you enjoy into a responsibility you can't back out of.
I'll have to respectfully disagree. Not with your first sentence, that's true enough, but everything else.

While economically that makes sense, that is a money/efficiency issue not an ethical one. So I agree fiscally but say that has no ethical bearing.
That’s been addressed. In English you use the short scale. Other languages use whichever scale they want.
Agreed, I can think of lots of use cases that come up in day to day life:

- century

- decagon

- decimal system

- decathlon

- centipede

edit: admittedly, hecto is pretty rare and centi is often used for both 1/100 and 100
The rate of drift is so slow that people will never care.

Even over thousands of years when an hour of drift is accumulated there won’t be a manual adjustment - people will have just gotten used to different times of day having sunlight, with generations having been born and died with mean solar time happening at 11am.

Eventually the rotation of the earth may change enough that drift accumulates too quickly and leap time needs to be added, but that’s only going to be true thousands to tens of thousands of years in the future.

Most accounting issues aren't legal issues. Most businesses can't give you an up to the current date balance sheet. Most VCs don't get audited financials for most of their early stage investments. Most financials given to VCs have errors in them, most of the errors will be harmless and wouldn't meet any definition of fraud (legal or pub talk). Virtually none would meet GAAP if audited. Most early stage businesses don't have good management/cost accounting in place and can't actually work out exactly what's going on.

FTX seems to have been doing actual bad stuff - moving assets between companies that would never be done at arms length. From a practical perspective, it's almost sending money to the founder. If someone sees their company doing that, yeah, talk to someone. But that is not an accounting issue.

The chaos and lack of accounting rigor is.. just not rare or surprising.
People have been seeing it as one big moderation problem and it's a bunch of smaller problems, plus the problem of people actively gaming the system and operating at large enough scale for it to always be bigger than humans can handle.

But that's only true when you delete posts and block users. It makes mistakes so costly (and with machines being so easily manipulated) that we need to run too many decisions past people because our decisions here are making huge impact at a personal level for those involved.

But if you're willing to accept "hidden at default-browse-level" wrongly appearing every now and then it becomes totally solvable.

We were trying to scale fact-checkers and playground-nannies but the trick is to get rid of those roles and use users to flag what users like and/or don't like directly. You can do a staggered release to previously critical people, and known-objective people, once a few posts have been flagged.

Not to make you feel bad, but it feels like poor form to ask how you did in an interview at the end of the interview itself. If the person you're talking to is just some random IC then you might be putting them in a tough spot if they say you did great but the employer later passes on you.

Also interviews are sometimes structured to always seem successful to a candidate even if they did poorly. For example, the interviewer might gracefully skip some technical questions if you struggle on easier ones, or avoid bringing in later interviewers if it's clear it's not going to work out. If you ask about how you did directly then you're putting your interviewer on the spot to either lie or say you did poorly even though they've tried to hide that from you.

Could you give specific examples of how asking at the end has gone well for you?
If you find yourself characterizing something as an "excuse", it's a pretty good sign that you're looking for confirmation of bias rather than new information to form an opinion about.

But sure, how about:

- Model years. Have you seen the 2022 Tesla Model 3? No, because it doesn't exist. Teslas evolve over time. Other manufacturers still have days where the next model year starts being produced and the cars are very different than the previous day.

- Greatly simplified cabin. I hate this, but I think it's the future.

- OTA software updates. Some other makers are doing small updates a bit, but nobody (let alone everybody) is doing what Tesla is here
