I’m here playing devil’s advocate - this test doesn’t work. Here are some related thought experiments.

Suppose a soul is an immaterial source of intelligence, but it controls the body via machine-like material hardware such as neurons.

Or an alternative, suppose there is a soul inside your body “watching” the sensory activations within your brain like a movie. The brain and body create the movie & have some intelligence, but other important properties of the consciousness are bound to this observer entity.

In both these cases, the test just shows that if you damage the hardware, you can no longer observe intelligence because you’ve broken the end-to-end flow of the machine.

> but (clunky) IMAP is already and works just fine

Well, 'works just fine' is not what I would say about IMAP, more like 'works most of the time'. But in the end, IMAP is just for accessing mailbox and mail. JMAP also covers (besides server side actions and settings) calendar and contacts. If you remember, there are a separate protocols for these now (CalDAV, CardDAV) which are totally unrelated to IMAP. A desktop client with a full JMAP support would be close by the functionality to Outlook connected to Exchange, which is a thing many desire, especially in corporate settings.
Just make it a crime to use the internet when the government tells you not to. The actual content doesn't matter. Or don't make it a crime, and just arrest people on spurious 'national security' charges, with vague allegations that they were spying.

The article does not support the claim made in the title. Similar claims have been made many, many times. They never come to pass. A better approach to this topic would be to acknowledge the failure of earlier prophets and explain what's actually different this time.

Perhaps there is no purpose to consciousness.

Perhaps it's a phenomenon that somehow arises independently ex nihilo from sufficiently complex systems, only ever able to observe, unable to act.

Weird to think about.
The nuance of what is “intolerance” is very subjective.

The prime example is Germany that forbids any mention of Nazism. There are some that say removing all mentions of Nazism will doom us to replay a similar tragedy. Others say that mentioning it will draw followers. It’s not only important to draw the line, but to know who’s drawing that line. And are they drawing that line now, to further discriminate against views that don’t support theirs in the future.

I’m turning 36 this year and averaging about 80km/week these days. Although I didn’t stop for the pandemic.

The main thing that has helped me is to fix my form – make sure you always land with your leg straight down underneath your hip. Work with a reflective surface or a coach until you get this down and know what correct feels like. Then be conscious of this until it’s 2nd nature.

Second important thing are fresh shoes. No more than 600km.

Third – barbell squats and deadlifts. This gives your legs strength and balance so muscles/tendons can hold your joints steady.

Fourth – I added daily foam rolling this year and it really helped with tightness and resulting imbalances in my legs. Made running much easier.

Oh and make sure you eat enough. That helps with muscle soreness.

As credentials I offer that I ran a 3:15:28 marathon in November at 35, my fastest ever.

Has it occurred to you that most other places make barely any manufactured goods at all compared to China? Particularly basic materials like steel. How do you factor that into your calculations? The US will look pretty good on your chosen metric because our primary exports are soybeans, credit, and IP.

But it doesn’t matter regardless because any attempt to impose authoritarian climate measures on China will send the West into economic crisis, one way or another.
As someone who started editing videos in the early 2010s when Final Cut Pro X was a beta and Final Cut Pro 7 was extremely expensive, I think the age of charging for video editing software is already over. FCP X was only $300. These days you can use DaVinci Resolve for free. Plenty of very good videos by independent creators on YouTube or TikTok are produced without spending a single cent on video editing software.

I think Apple will regret this pricing decision and make the software free (as in beer) in a few years' time. I mean I paid for iWork 09 and iLife 09 and I was livid when Apple made them free but still I think that's the trend of where things are going.

> Why is this funny? Because small businesses and family farms are inherently more socialist than capitalist. Why? Because it is closer to owning the means of production and capturing the excess value of labor by those who are, well, laboring. These are socialist principles.

But why is it funny? You're not wrong that family farms are socialist in nature. Farmers have traditionally, at least here in Canada, even been socialist in political view. Our socialized healthcare system, for example, was a product of the work of farmers. The NDP, our closest answer to a socialist party, was born out of the older United Farmers party.

Bemoaning the death of that socialist legacy is like bemoaning the disposal of an Apple II, Commodore 64, or whatever legacy computer system is to your fancy. Being sad to see that history go isn't at odds with extolling the virtues of our modern technology, nor is it unusual to have a place in one's heart for the past while also embracing the present.

> I'm sure a tiny bit of RF leaks out of the LNB

Any receiver using the heterodyne principle (this includes most current digital radio modems) is trivially detected by its local oscillator, often to some considerable range (potentially hundreds of metres).

In the UK, the BBC used to exploit this, with radio detection vans patrolling the streets for unauthorized receivers, to fine people for watching TV without a license. So did the USSR with shortwave receivers, where the penalty was potentially more than a fine. A satellite receiver is the same, in principle.

> Comparing diameter to radius is a little misleading

Nah. It is comparing a distance with a distance.

Besides I assume more people reading my comment are familiar with the concepts of radius/diameter than the meaning of astronomical units. But now, thanks for your clarification, even the geometrically challenged will have the correct mental model. You never know.

> On the same scale, Pluto is 78 AU and Voyager is 320 AU.

Have to disagree. You take your pocket tape measure, carefully hook the end of the tape on the Sun and slowly walk to Pluto. You read what it says. That is a distance.

Then you walk to the disk, hook one end of the tape on one side (carefully, since it is made of dust) and walk to the other side. That is a distance.

Where do I hook my tape measure to measure 78 AU for Pluto? Orbits are not real. You cannot kick them, you cannot lick them, you cannot hook a tape measure on them.

“See where that planet is? Now imagine how far it will be in 124[1] years in a sun fixed coordinate system!” does not quite have the same impact on me as “See that blob? It is huuuge!”

Doubling the number with Voyager makes even less sense. You cannot even say that you are measuring the antipodal points of its orbit, since it is not orbiting the Sun. So the “diameter” of what are you even talking about there?

1: half of Pluto’s orbital period.

Those remedies are against the parties breaching the contract. It’s a small hair to split, but relevant given the point being made.

contract law is the body of precedent and collective set of laws related to the legality, construction, execution and all around use of contracts, and while I’m sure there are some specific extra laws that make breach of certain types of contracts a misdemeanour or felony. Generally speaking in most jurisdictions around the world in fact, breach of contract is a civil law matter between the parties of the contract, and settlement of the civil law side of the “is this actually a breach of contract” is usually necessary first before any potential criminal liability can be applied.

An example: An contract can be invalidated for lack of sufficient consideration offered (peppercorn isn’t always enough to make it valid)… this makes the contract void, not illegal. This is a simple example but it illustrates the basic point well, and I’m not trying to write a legal theory essay while on the way to work.

> The prime example is Germany that forbids any mention of Nazism.

AFAIK, German law does not forbid “any mention of Nazism”, it forbids “Dissemination of propaganda material of unconstitutional and terrorist organisations” and “Use of symbols of unconstitutional and terrorist organisations” including, but very much not limited to, the propaganda and symbols of the Nazi Party. But this does not – for instance, as controversies in 00s established, prohibit incorporation of Nazi symbols in contexts that, taken as a whole, are directed against them. The issue isn’t mention but promotion of Nazism, etc.

> Those remedies are against the parties breaching the contract.

Yes, remedies in the law are invariably against the party breaking the law, not the people complying with the law. What would be the point of sanctions for not breaking the law?

So, what I just said that breach of contract is a violation of the law for which there are sanctions available, but not in and of itself criminal. That was a…very argumentative agreement.
could you say this seven more times?
No, but we can make decisions about what sort of losses/abuses we consider tolerable. A simple way to approach this is to just change the calculus of what sentencing terms different sorts of crime should attract. Right now you can operate a bank, rip people off or launder dirty money wholesale, and face only mild criminal liability.

Consider Wachovia Bank, for example, which was found to be laundering cartel drug money at scale. They had to pay a fat fine and the company was force-sold to Wells Fargo amid the financial crisis, but as far as I'm aware nobody spent a day in prison.
