>Consciousness is a physical property of matter

No. Wrong. Not a physical property. At all. This is completely the wrong way to describe it.

Consciousness is better described as an "emergent phenomenon". This is how serious researchers and academics define it.

Like I said in another reply to you, you really should go talk with a neuroscientist or cognitive psychologist. It sounds like you need to catch up quickly on the field of research.
I appreciate you making the point, but it sounds like the perception is correct, but the definitions don't match. Individual-human-level privacy controls are important, and it's good that they're in place, but equally important is the systemic use of all that hoovered data.

I am a worker. I am also a capital owner, though on a small scale, from investing the surplus of my pay for my labor.

> Poor people in the United States are far richer than rich people of 150 years ago.

There is no material improvement in wealth over the past 20 years, but inequality has grown.

Wealth is produced by innovation, and greater concentratuon of wealth will lead to less innovation.

To me all of this is a mess that make administering a system more complex.

Personally, I use ArchLinux, and everything I have to do to update everything on my system is launch `pacman -Syu`. I can install extra software from the AUR, but this is managed by the same package manager in the end and thus installed in /usr/bin.

For work I use mainly Debian based systems, that is Debian or Ubuntu, similar thing happens in these systems, you update everything with `apt upgrade` and don't worry about the rest.

I'm also of the philosophy that is always better to update to the latest version available, that is I don't fear upgrading my system (rather on critical systems I install OS such as Debian stable or Ubuntu LTS that only provide bugfix and not new features).

While it's true that with the FreeBSD approach you can update one software and not update the core of the operating system, why would you want to do so? Updates usually fix security problems, you typically want all the software updated to the latest version, unless we talk about some specific edge cases.

To me it seems the distinction that Linux once had about /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin and /usr/sbin: in modern distributions (such as ArchLinux, Fedora/Red Hat, etc) everything is a symlink to /usr/bin because this distinction doesn't make a lot of sense anymore. Only a few distro such as Debian keep this distinction as far as I know (only for legacy purposes probably).

That's great for regions with hydroelectricity, but the significant majority of the world is not lucky enough to have that geography. Also, the places that do have good geography for hydroelectric storage also usually generate their electricity from dams anyway and thus don't benefit from storage.
I watched the Mandalorian and didn't really get that feeling at all, but Mandalorian was also overtly cartoony (the army of Boba Fetts!) so that may have thrown me off. The thing in Andor that made me take notice was the TIE fighter buzz on Aldani. I think that's the first time any Star Wars ship ever felt kinetic, which is pretty funny since starfighter porn is part of the rationale of the whole property.

> how did these exchanges get so large before anyone thought of audits?

Who said no one thought of this? There was simply no one to enforce this.

Look at Coinbase. They made a point of being “regulated in the US”. They’re audited. They’re legit (most likely. I’m not the auditor). They’re complying with disclosure laws as a publicly traded company.

Look at Patio11, he’s been publicly making claims about tether and the crypto ecosystem for years. If it all blows up and his speculation /research was right, then who is to blame? We’ll have years of boy crying wolf and we thought it was a sheep.

Nothing is being brought to light. The comment was not well considered but it was so obviously not a threat either.

Some folk took the comment and decided to hyper sensationalise it. In truth, what the Muse guy was trying to say was that he wanted the offending user to see reason and stop hosting software that allowed users to get free access to paid content. His appeal was that is was pointless to risk legal action and he was right. Incidentally, they were well within their rights to pursue legal action. They cannot permit a backdoor to licensed content to exist.

Also worth mentioning that after this incident, they never did pursue legal action - so they obviously found some quiet solution instead. Of course that ruins a good story. God people love outrage so much, they are just unable to see the boring reality of things.

> I’ve also seen morale being slowly killed by people who _thought_ they were doing this, but were _actually_ just argumentative defeatists.

Yes, I've also seen this as well. At some point you need people who will go off on a limb and do something crazy. I've seen in multiple times in my career. In particular I remember an architect who'd ruthlessly attempt to take scope out of projects but while we was in charge, we were nearly never innovating. Just delivering features on time and budget. Existing customers were always delighted but we had a hard time reaching new markets.

After he left, there's been a fair bit of projects that "didn't work" but there's been a couple of absolute home runs that would've never gotten off the ground because they were pretty wild.

There's I've heard a few times that resonates with me and I reiterate to all senior engineers I work with when they get into conflicts. "It takes all kinds of people to make a great company" You need dreamers, the people who worry about the money, cold and calculating execute at all costs types and folks and the folks who are happy to toil in a small but critical corner of a massive system to keep the lights on.

In my experience you can get into trouble when you try to play multiple roles at the same time because it's mentally exhausting trying to to do things like sell a vision while being the person trying to keep the economics of the thing from completely falling apart.
I'm curious what the median church "experience" is of those that attend. One could imagine a single 50 million member church and two churches of 75, which would lead to a median church size of 75 but a median experience of 50 million fellow congregants.

I was disappointed when post-purchase Psyonix dropped official Linux support for Rocket League. However, the Proton support has been rock solid, and I'm yet to encounter any crashes, even after updates. The Linux binaries occasionally had regressions after an update.

Finland has good weather for solar? You realize how far north they are? They gave good weather for solar in the summer when they don't need electricity for heating anyway. How much solar are they getting right now?

In case you aren't aware latitudes reduce solar energy collected per square meter of land. This can be motivated by tracking solar panels. But what can't be mitigated are shorter days in winter that get more extreme the further your are from the equator. In Helsinki right now the sun rises at 9:30 and sets just after 3pm.
They didn't say "everything is fine". There's a lot wrong with everyone's economy from the perspective of "we work just as hard, why don't we get the same stuff?"

However, I think you're misapprehending quite how much worse things were a century ago. Now the poor may struggle to afford a PET/CT/MRI/ultrasound scan, or a PCR test, or a dose of antibiotics, or a heart (lung, liver, kidney, bladder, pancreas, ovary, …) transplant, but 100 years ago they did not exist. Diabetes only stopped being lethal just over 100 years ago, the first successful human treatment in the beginning of 1922. Smallpox no longer exists. And so on.
What's amazing is that most folks who get a crack at Star Wars can't even apply the dumbest version of its formula—mash up a few genre-things, apply Star Wars lipstick—competently. That is all The Mandalorian did, and that's all it took to put it well in the top half of all Star Wars media. It's simple, it's easy, yet most of the folks involved just don't seem to get it.

Agree with most of your take. The worst thing about Andor was that nearly every scene was too long. It's not slow in an "it's slow on purpose and is still making good use of its time" way like a lot of excellent film and television is, it's slow in a "the writers and/or editors weren't good enough, or weren't given enough time, to make it better" sort of way. I agree with the article that it's not clear the politics of Andor are in service of any kind of real message, but they sure are shocking to see in something Disney put out. It's not that they're shocking in an absolute sense, but I'd never have believed The Mouse would green light something like it.

Falcon and Winter Soldier actually had some similarly dark, realistic politics going on, and even got a little close to saying something with it at the end (before shying away and saying nothing at all, instead, because Disney's run by cowards) but didn't go nearly as far as Andor. The execs must have been really high when the Andor scripts passed their desks for approval.
Perpetual futures don't require any margin. All it requires is matching buy side and sell side market participants and transferring money between their accounts as the underlying changes in value. The exchanges don't actually hold any underlying with perps, so there's no need to borrow money.

I've taken a different approach: I spent about a year silencing anything that grabbed my attention and shouldn't. Ad blockers handle that job just fine. On social media, I just unfollowed everyone, and blocked every related content feed. These websites are empty, but accessible. They can be queried, but not browsed.

It worked great. I sometimes just don't know what to even look at on my phone. It's as exciting as an old flipphone.

That took care of the impulse. Beyond that, it's just a matter of self-discipline.
Omg, Chats and Teams separation which forces you to constantly click between these is real ADHD amplifier. Company switched from Slack to Teams because the latter comes free with Office365. I hate it!
nothing specific, just do a google search.

generally i think advice that will always be applicable:

- learn and use a profiler before there are performance issues, not after (dont treat performance as an afterthought).

- internalize which patterns are faster and which are slower, and when it matters.

- for any runtime with a GC, reduce repetitive memory allocation and GC pressure. prefer shallow structures. mutation instead of immutability (thus, mem allocation).

- cache/memoize whenever possible.

- don't use algorithms that scale poorly with data size.

finally, beware of following any performance advice older than 6 months; JITs advance constantly, so make sure to re-bench/measure continuously to avoid doing unnecessary refactors, and test with real code; there are lies, damned lies, and micro-benchmarks.

I was hoping to write up a TellHN about something similar once my situation was resolved, but the same thing happened to me at the end of November.

My Facebook account has MFA and a very strong, unique password. I began to receive emails about my "account recovery code", which I ignored. A day or so later I received an email that MFA was disabled, and then one that my password had been reset. I was able to immediately reset it again from a new device, log in, log out all other sessions and re-enable MFA. Then a few hours later the same thing happened, but by that time it was overnight and I wasn't able to catch it in time. I woke up to the emails outlining that process again along with one saying my account had been suspended.

I went through the recommend process of supplying my ID, which was rejected as "forged" and I was told my account would be terminated, decision is final, no ability to appeal, etc. Luckily (maybe?) my account created Facebook Apps for some state and federal government offices and personnel, and those went away at the same time. Now there's some high level people butting heads with the Meta Pro team on my behalf, and I'm watching the emails as they go back and forth.

It's about 3 weeks later and I still haven't gotten access back yet, but we've collected dozens of other cases of people that have had the same thing happen going back to mid-October.

It appears to be a scam where attackers are able to somehow gain access to Facebook accounts bypassing passwords and other authentication processes and then post about crypto and NFT sales on Facebook marketplace. If the account has a credit card attached, they will buy $100-500 worth of Facebook ads for the same thing.

We're all wondering what happens to the regular people who don't have the business connections to have the ability to reach out to someone that is able to bypass the regular process that is failing in a major way?

I did not miss that tweet, nor did I miss this one[1] that seems to geolocate that video the video and found it nowhere near an airport. In addition, that incident was on December 13th. Elonjet posted his plane landed in LA in December 12th[2], a full day before that went down. Not seeing any evidence at all that this was connected to what ElonJet posted.

There's also no context in that video, it's just a clip of a person in a car. I do not take Elon's word for anything, he's demonstrated over and over and over that he will act in bad faith. The one party he probably would/should not lie to, the police, doesn't seem to have any report from him about this event.

I enjoyed the idea of "thrown into the mix of things and slowly warming up to the idea of the rebellion", but it was handled rather poorly IMO.

So we have Luthen specifically seeking him out because he's so great and good. And in a conversation he mentions how he casually stole imperial star-thingy. So he is kinda gung ho (or at least extremely competent). Then he learns minute details of the rebels he just met by just observing them...

And that's it. Everything else is him being extremely incompetent (how he ended up in jail to begin with), or suddenly competent without any prior explanation (how he was instrumental in the plot to run away).

But this more due to the format of the show I think.
That's a single proprietary option from a single vendor with its own storied history of both poor privacy and poor long-term hardware support. (I believe they've effectively bricked the first generation of their routers already!)
