> if someone presents a new, compelling argument against a belief you hold then shouldn’t you change your mind immediately?

Change? No. Question? Yes. Question, probe, & investigate.

An argument may be good but applicable only to a narrow field of something, or be a valid exception to a general principle, etc. It also may be compelling but on further examination be fundamentally flawed or rely on logical errors (most of the more advanced religious apologetics are like this).

It should absolutely cause a reevaluation of your belief, but that’s not the same as necessitating it be outright changed.

It might sound like quibbling, but I feel that’s an important difference. One I feel is key to intellectual rigor & honesty.

I used to swim in an Olympic-sized pool with a depth of 10 feet (3m) at one end. I could hold my breath and swim down to the bottom for a minute maybe, and looking around, it was definitely a lot of water. I could feel the pressure even there.

I also went snorkeling in Hawaii once in cove that had deep areas easily over 10m. Even looking down at that depth could be disorienting and anxiety-inducing.

A hundred meters is technical SCUBA diving depth. A few hundred meters is where military subs hang out, and not much below. A kilometer is crush depth for all but the sturdiest military submarines and special deep-diving vehicles.
> people do not think for themselves

I understand your strong reaction to events in some countries in recent years, but the conclusion is both incomplete and unfair.

People can and do think... This is demonstrable, look at the good things around us in the world.

However, people can be brought very low intellectually and civically by their environment. They are vulnerable to a society that does not guarantee education and accurate information (in traditional or in modern media).

People are willing to conform, especially in exchange for food and opportunity for shelter. People are consummately manipulated by the control of the information around them.
Interesting. I just finished reading Ulysses with a group of friends, and I thought it was a work of absolute fucking genius. One of the best things I've ever read--possibly the best thing I've ever read--hands down.

It's not just stream of consciousness; it's the way each chapter is structured differently, has different themes and different form. The stream of consciousness comes and goes--some sections are easy, and some are incomprehensible. One chapter is a play; one chapter is a series of pastiches of different English styles throughout the past millennium; one chapter is an absurdly over-erudite lecture on Shakespeare; one chapter is an orgasm. I learned a lot about Irish history.

The language is absolutely exquisite with endless onomatopoeia. I kept switch back and forth between listening to and reading it, or doing both simultaneously.

It was incredibly hard to get through and absolutely amazing.

The red color is still caused by iron oxide, but it is in a different form than expected.

>Now a new study has examined samples of the water and found that the iron appears in an unexpected form. It’s not technically a mineral – instead it takes the form of nanospheres, 100 times smaller than human red blood cells.

>“In order to be a mineral, atoms must be arranged in a very specific, crystalline, structure. These nanospheres aren't crystalline, so the methods previously used to examine the solids did not detect them.”
It was a second order observation, so doesn't need to also include itself.

Are there any good performance tests done between Tinc and WG? Curious to see how they perform and what there bottlenecks are.
I learned once (on npr when i used to listen to it) that when you hear some new information, you should immediately think the opposite. This gives you the ability to not subconsciously weight the idea you heard higher than you should. After all, for every point in life a reasonable counter point exists.
I've done this for many years and I do believe the practice has helped me not blindly believe things.
This turns into a mildly frustrating riddle as some of the challenges are random (captcha, Street View, chess challenge) and end up making it impossible to continue. Got my number added up from the captcha and the best chess move came to be Qh6 (I would need a chess master to disagree with me) so I'm already busted on the add to 25 and then it tells me the "Qh6" notation is illegal (Ok, I was never good with chess notation but I'm pretty sure that says Queen to H6...)

It's worth noting that this form of dogmatism (e.g. ironic or paradoxical dogmatism) can lead to intellectual arrogance or self-righteousness. If taken to an extreme, an individual can become close-minded about their own beliefs regarding open-mindedness. I see this a lot in today's society, especially amongst many young people who may not have accumulated enough life experience to understand why others might have come to think differently than themselves.
There's lots to do outside big city centres if your life doesn't evolve around consumiption of services provided by others. Big cities suck for most physical and creative outdoor activities.
That’s true but the lifetime costs of buying can be immense. On a home built solution you can maintain it for 30 years or more, on an off the shelf solution you may have had to rebuild and re customize 6+ times maybe even switch vendors
AMD has much better open source drivers. nvidia gives you a binary blob... but it works better.
Are you kidding? It used to be common knowledge that virtually every used car dealer was committing some sort of odometer or other fraud just 25-30 years ago. The advent of anti-tampering devices in cars, manufacturer certified pre-owned, carfax, listing of odometer values on registrations and insurance forms, and hefty fines (and even prison) for dealer fraud cut down on that.
Augmenting Empathy: The AR Revolution
There's evidence from one side in the lawsuits, while the defendants have so far declined to submit any for scrutiny. In any case, the title of this submission says that Fedex is 'accused' of fraud rather than having been found guilty of it, so you knew what you were getting before you clicked; you could have just ignored it.
I've had a lot of success with the natural oil repellants, and I usually get eaten alive. I think the most effective traps I've seen release co2 made by yeast, then trap and dry out the mosquitoes with a fan. They are sold, but at least around my area they're roughly $90 USD. Fanless ones are really easy to make out of a gallon jug, some sugar water, and yeast. Just pour it in the jug, and invert the top-half of it. Hang it upside-down and they can get in, but not out.

At least the Android version requires manual input (pressing the power button five times in quick succession) but as reported some people seem to do that accidentally somehow (bad power button, I guess?).

It's crazy what large tech companies are allowed to do with public infrastructure. I bet you an app from a small developer would get cease and desisted within a month if it had false positives like these. At least put some of your own operators on the line first so you can verify that the emergency services are actually needed, and maybe don't even roll out the feature in areas that don't opt into receiving these automated alerts.
They do, however, want to listen to the leader who can discern good into from bad, and make decisions or alter course as needed as new good info comes to light. I think it's important to zoom out a bit when considering what we humans seek in a leader. Confidence, yes, but also the ability to change one's mind is a marker of intelligence as opposed to the cognitive impairment that is concrete thinking.
This is one of the larger reasons why I will never again use Uber, and more generally is the main reason why I no longer give ratings or pay attention to ratings for anything.

They're no longer just worthless, they're actively harmful.
This in my mind can be a dangerous path, if I am not disciplined to validate the new information.

In all this the presumption is the "facts change", "information change", and "persuasion" is done from a basis of objective truth.

In Keyes (btw Sun Tzu 孫子 said something similar a wee bit earlier) notes this presumption is present, such that the information added to financial decision is objectively true.

But, in my experience in life (and even in investing) there are objective truths and then derivatives of objective & subjective truths. These second type of truths are often presented still as objective truths. To what percentage of the objective & subjective intermingle and when I decide the "truth" is now too subjective is... subjective.

Its that puzzled look in my inner monologue that triggers the question "is this truth objective enough to be considered to influence my current stance?"

In general I think as we gain more life experiences, the less subjective truths we tolerate in such derivative truths. Externally, this may manifest itself as jaded, or stubborn.

And, finally, even when we think something is objective -> 2+2=5
Thanks for sharing. If you could share also, what was the field like for you when you first came in?
Read the next paragraph after that damn silver bullet quote:

> Skepticism is not pessimism, however. Although we see no startling breakthroughs,
and indeed, believe such to be inconsistent with the nature of software, many
encouraging innovations are under way. A disciplined, consistent effort to develop,
propagate, and exploit them should indeed yield an order-of-magnitude improvement.
There is no royal road, but there is a road.

Stop using the quote as an excuse to dismiss tech. Exploit tech instead.

Apple maps automatically pops up with directions to home when I connect to my 2008 car’s bluetooth. I’d just enable it when connected to a vehicle’s bluetooth.

Or if the phone continually collects sensor data already for this feature, I’d just make sure the second preceding the supposed crash was consistent with traveling in a vehicle, not being in the same place. It won’t work when you are hit by something though in that case.
I don't use it, but I've heard Tutanota's calendar[0] feature is good, since it's encrypted and more private than say, something like Notion.

Yea because the government never tries to assert control over projects it helps fund. See PBS and NPR.
possibly, yes, it’s certainly an argument that could be made in court. However the battery itself can be removed without those. It’s the rear glass that can’t (currently, who knows in 4 years).

Sounds hair splitting I know, but court cases are won & lost on less.
Yes - they have audios.
How does suburbia stop anyone from going to concerts? I live in a very suburban area and go to shows about once a month too. Sometimes those shows are downtown and sometimes they are in the burbs (sometimes the even further burbs).

Sure, everyone like to follow strength. I don't want someone to lead me just with confident bullshit though, which has been hyperoptimized for in recent years in politics.

When before confidence came as the result of skill and experience, now it's all "fake it till you make it".

The fact that we can't distinguigh between the two is a problem with our culture, which we actually can improve upon by explicitly condemning in public baseless confidence.

For something that's more of a prepackaged build-your-own-Linux kit, there's also KISS Linux[0]. It's kind of a microdistro with minimal abstraction over the raw guts, and "packages" are just pre-downloaded source code repos that you compile yourself.

The "package manager" is just a shell script. The installation process[1] is entirely manual, so you control every step as you bootstrap up to building your own kernel and installing each subsystem, all the way up to compiling and running Firefox. It's pretty neat.

No because it would also require compelling evidence. Certainly I would entertain a statistically probable argument to an extent. Sometimes there are compelling arguments in both directions and we have to accept not knowing.

TBF internal sites break on firefox for months too. People foocus on Chrome outside too, I think it's just that the mindset of coding against the standards and tracking all the version rollout for multiple engines is gone now that many "browsers" are just chorme reskins.
Third option: only call 911 if there is no movement after the supposed crash.
> Uber's star rating has a sensible design - anything below 5 requires the user to explain why.

That is not a sensible design at all. That's effectively demanding that all reviews be 5 stars.
Light sensor. If the phone is in a handbag, there will hardly be any light. If it is in a car or flies away some amount of light would be perceptible by the sensors. Or just disable this feature. We got along ok before without it. First, do no harm.
This is true of all crypto, to be fair.

Hashing and hash stores are not unique, or particularly original, so really this is just applying common crypto tooling/standards to an existing problem.

Not the OP, but the concept "sin" is nowhere nearly as physical as the shape of the Earth.

I would even argue that for non-religious people, the concept is entirely irrelevant, with some exceptions, and religious people shouldn't try to legislate anti-sin policies into law.

[Exceptions:] If you live in a heavily Jewish neighbourhood and sell sandwiches, it is a good idea to have kosher ones as well, even though you personally don't care about mixing of cheese and ham.
Me personally, and many others don't count ketamine and both MDMA as psychedelics, because there is no _mind manifestation_.

this is the LambdaUpdateCode api, and it’s definitely fast enough for a good dev workflow.

it even lets you pass the zip data as the post body when less than 50mb. otherwise it points to a zip in s3 or a container uri.
It depends what level of security you need. My runner doesn't have root access and it talks to the nix-daemon on the host to do the building, so theoretically everything is safe.

Of course the attack surface is quite large, so I wouldn't expose this to the public. But using this for my repos and trusted developers is fine with me. It is basically impossible to accidentally do harm. Also note that GitLab forks and Merge Requests from forks run in the author's repo, so they won't use your runners. So it is only people with push access that will use them.
Lobbyists can certainly say a lot more than most people, on account of that being their job. That's the point. A factory worker may or may not be able to say anything to their representative, but they certainly can not say as much as the lobbyist. Now, what the lobbyist says may be counted equally or even less than what the factory worker says (though cynically I would say they could well be counted more: if they represent a donor, for example), but that doesn't make up for sheer volume.

I think a key difference here is that the prompt is not asking you to choose between the browsers you’ve already installed, it’s asking you if you want to launch chrome or safari, and if you don’t have chrome it’s an install button to the App Store. It’s essentially just an ad, presented like a selection UI.

Properly implemented such prompts would be great though. Someone else in the thread mentioned how location search results on mobile Safari always launch Apple Maps - it would be great to have the option to choose from whatever I have installed.
