Well you don't have evidence either way, maybe we do have magic neurons, until a computer displays the same level of consciousness as other living creatures, then we don't really know because we don't fully understand how a human brain works and we cannot build one.

So I feel a bit similar about your argument to be honest.
Open Source Confusion Cases
Oh, I see, yeah maybe not the exact right fit is "loss leader" but it sounds good. Hmm. It's more like domination via attrition?
What a wonderful site. I am not a watchmaker but I developed an interest in clocks and watches at an early age from my grandfather who was a watchmaker and jeweler.

I've only spent a short time browsing the site and downloading files so rather than comment about the site's content I'll do so about its presentation. Every scan of a book/text, image and diagram has been meticulously done. It's a great pleasure in seeing someone who takes the scan of old texts seriously. Books are scanned in high resolution, pages are properly cropped and the text carefully centered and straightened so it's parallel with the page edges. Same goes for drawings and maps which are as sharp as a tack.

It's delight to behold someone who is not only very knowledgeable about his subject but also who goes about his work with meticulous care.
As someone who has lived in most of those places and is familiar with all of them... no.
Bingo! I don't consider my phone a 'full computer', it's more like a 'computing appliance'.

My OneDrive (for Mac) woes are many:

- When saving a file, it's sometimes not possible to not have access to the file immediately after saving. This is super fun when you're writing software and you save and then can't compile it.

- The setting to keep every file locally doesn't stop files being ejected and then not kept locally.

- Files that are not local take very long to download (e.g. an 85kb file just now too ~60s on a 1GB fiber connection)

- One drive creates duplicate folders and files during syncing errors

- Some bug in making changes to a word doc and then renaming it made the new changes inaccessible by either the old or new name. This was an old issue, but was particularly stressful when I was working on a ~50 page document with a large amount of edits across the entire doc, that had a hard deadline for submission.

- For a period of time I was unable to login with my account to OneDrive using the Mac software. Support could not give me any indication about why the error was occurring and were unwilling to continue diagnosis - the suggestion was to effectively wipe my user profile and start over

- Eventually in some update the sync client started working, and promptly deleted every file in my OneDrive folder before pulling it down again (100s of GB). A stressful few days of wondering which files would be kept / lost at the end

- Sync speed is reduced to 10s of kbits/s when you have millions of files (on a 1Gbit/s connection this is frustrating)

- Putting any git repo or a nodejs project in OneDrive is problematic due to the millions of files issues, generally results in locking up the process

- No tooling to understand how much syncing time is left and see the overall status of large syncs

- No user accessible user interface / logs to help understand why things are syncing / what is happening under the hood (this wouldn't really be necessary if the rest of the software wasn't so buggy).

There are many more examples I could go into all of little things that OneDrive does that a buggy, broken, or terrible. But my general impression is that the quality of the product (at least on the Mac side of things) is not sufficient to be fit for purpose. OneDrive really has 1 main job: make the data I save available when I need it. If fails at that regularly.

In summary, I wouldn't trust OneDrive to not lose data (but haven't yet moved off it due to inertia and the effort required). I would recommend that other users choose anything other than OneDrive if you care about any of your data long term.
As far as I can tell, the author seems to be trying to simultaneously use two separate definitions of "consciousness":

1. Something which results in "qualia"

2. Something which arises by a non-mechanistic process

and then is just expecting readers to accept that these two definitions are equivalent. It's the same fatal flaw as the original Chinese Room argument.
I read somewhere about a radar system which exposed film reels, developed them in a continuous process, and displayed new images with a film projector every few seconds. I wanna say it was British, but maybe it was American.

Can’t find a reference anywhere anymore.

Cool thing was, you’d get a log “for free” because you still had all of that film you could replay.
> Okay, but this is not at all what Marx himself said. Marx was philosophically opposed in all of his writings to answering even the most basic questions about what a communist economy/government would look like. In his mind he was only proclaiming the inevitability of such a system.

No, the point is that he's not talking about a particular system. The famous soundbite from The German Ideology:

> Communism is for us not a state of affairs which is to be established, an ideal to which reality will have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things. The conditions of this movement result from the premises now in existence.

Communism, for Marx, is the thing that beats capitalism, and he's only willing to make claims about it that he thinks follow from that. He believes it will lack the features of capitalism that undermine its long term stability, and do a better job than capitalism of accomplishing the things that a mode of production needs to do to win out over others (namely, producing things), but anything more than that cannot be predicted decades-to-centuries out. Things will need to be administered, but they're not going to be administered by him, or in circumstances he can predict.

Consider feudalism. An educated Frenchman in 1700 could reasonably think that feudalism was on the way out, that it would probably mean the displacement of the aristocracy by the emerging bourgeoisie, that it would not have a patchwork legal system built out of a thousand years of accumulated hereditary agreements and local precedent, that it would professionalize government to some degree, that it would do a better job of maintaining a professional military, and so on. But they had no chance whatsoever of predicting the structure of the Federal Reserve, and it would be insane of them to claim otherwise.

Your opinions are perfectly valid, even if I might disagree - my belief firmly is that the world gets better with more participation - not less.

Particularly here in the states, if we could get 90% of the voters who show up for the general to show up in the primary, the results of elections would look different in general.

Even as a gay person, I'm generally anti-authoritarian to an extreme - I dont think you can legislate politeness or ethics, that said, my belief, quite firmly is if you're operating any kind of public accommodation, you waive certain rights by doing so. I cant dictate to individuals that they accept me, I can reasonably dictate that they tolerate my presence in the public sphere.

What this works out to is in my eyes if people operate a facility where the general public might dwell, sell to the general public, or employ people outside of close family, they have to follow some modicum of equality. If people dont want to do that, they dont have to do those things. I'll note that leads whole kinds of self employment wide open to folks too.

Rights are not absolutes either those to demand tolerance or to be intolerant, much of whats wrong with the states is people treating all rights as absolutes.
Consider that Marx wasn't Marxist-Leninist although I think he was pro state. Anti-statist socialists like Kropotkin thought about some kind of decentralised planning. You could even have market as a distribution mechanism, but without capitalism through some variant of market socialism or market Anarchism.
> in this context it is being used as a class signal, not a race signal.

Yes, but a default association that those with a certain race are likely to have a certain class is racist.
Wow, that's bang on.
In this exact context it's likely not a problem, but essentially this is a ready to go XSS attack. As far as I can tell there is no CORS or domain level protections, so an "attacker" here could easily do anything else with any client-side data being used by any other "site" on the domain.

Let's say I make a little chat app that stores some history or some other data in local browser storage or cookies. Any other site can just as easily access all of that information. An "attacker" could link you to a modified version of the chat site that relays all of your messages to their server while still making it otherwise look like it's just the normal chat. It would also retain any client side information you had previously entered like your nick name or chat history, since it's stored in local storage.

Most of the time sanitizing input, like ensuring users don't have HTML in their names or comments, combined with domain-level separation and CORS policies ensures that one site can't do things that "leak" into another. It's the reason most of the time no matter how bad people mess things up Facebook getting hacked in your browser doesn't compromise your Google account.
No server is going to give you 25 gbit for yourself. Or routes are going to be congested. I have 1 gbit and almost all servers don't have that available for me.

> Ledgett's answer is confirmed by a comprehensive listing of the tasks of the NSA in the Strategic Mission List from January 2007. It was published by The New York Times in November 2013, but got hardly any attention, despite the fact that it clearly contradicts the claims by Snowden and Greenwald that the NSA has just one single goal: collect all digital communications from all over the world.

If you look at the document, it indeed lists more than half a dozen goals, not just one. For example, supporting industrial espionage is mentioned (expressed as preventing "surprises" in the area of technology - wonderful euphemism!), which is not terrorism-related at all.

But the part that worried Snowden is actually reflected in the strategy document, even using the same wording as Snowden: MASTERING the Internet/cyberspace. That _does_ have a ring of total control and exhaustive gathering.
A personal appeal to our users
Or until the voters wise up and start electing people that believe and espouse imperfect freedom rather than perfect control.
> there's enough licensed code that open sourcing it as is would probably be a non starter.

This is exactly what Sun wrote the CDDL for; it let them open source as many components as possible while still leaving some pieces closed. Sun also ended up releasing a bundle of binaries that you drop into a source build to get a complete /functional OpenSolaris system with the still-needed closed bits included, and over time some of those components got replaced piecemeal with FOSS alternatives (although illumos still includes some closed parts AFAIK).
By all means human neurons (and animal neurons) are -- for lack of a better word -- magic as they achieve a thing that no other thing does. Namely they arise in some a lack of actual feeling that has no mechanistic explanation. That does not mean it's magic, it's just that we have no way of ascertaining whether computers are capable of this feeling and all evidence points to the contrary.

A feeling in your mind is more than just a signal. Feeling a pit in one's stomach is not because I feel serotonin or GABA or whatever (i don't know which one). You really, truly feel a literal pit in your stomach. Why does one feel this? Even if you claim it's due to a physical pit in my stomach (perhaps due to muscle clenching or whatever), why do I sense a pit? Not in the 'oh my brain neurons fire indicating the presence of something' but in the 'why does it feel like that'?. Why why why? No one can explain the qualia of the sensation and the only way to claim this thing can be experienced by non-biological objects is by a blind faith.

EDIT: there should be a rule on HN against downvotes without responses. Unless you can explain qualia; stop downvoting. It's a major problem.
DebConf23 Key Signing Party
I’ve fully flipped the bozo bit on 37Signals. They just keep smelling their own farts. Their attitude is incredibly off putting and while it’s been many years since I last used their software I found it lackluster.

Subscriptions are preferable for 90% of the software I use. I’d rather pay a lower upfront cost and be able to cancel whenever I want. If it’s for business I rarely want to self-host at my scale and I self-host a ton of little things locally (open source). If I’m already paying I’d rather have someone else maintain it for me.

Who do you believe that buys the services or goods that the owners produce?
That's a largely self-regulating problem: I mostly go to places with ample parking, which merchants (and my company) are willing to provide in exchange for the traffic it brings.
It's a shame articles like these don't include comments from those who have been priced out of renting/buying in part because of the new breed of buyers who are looking for short term rental investment properties (some "hosts" have dozens or even hundreds of units). To have this be the only comment (below) that vaguely touches on the context is either lazy or deliberately biased, given all of the airtime given to Airbnb talking points. I suspect this reasonable regulation is quite popular with the majority of NYC residents.

>“In New York City, residential apartments should be for residential use,” said Murray Cox of Inside Airbnb, a housing advocacy group that collects data about the company’s presence in cities around the world.
This name is confusing. “AI” + “Copilot” == Microsoft; between GitHub and M365, copilot might not be the best name to use for a product in the AI space.
No they don't. Consumers will go for the cheapest way to get what they want. End oil subsidies and alternatives become more attractive. Tax oil and they come more attractive still. Ban it and they'll look to bikes.

And yes, of course Norway can decide to phase out oil production.
I live in Germany and I just buy milk, soda, water and yogurt in glass bottles from my local supermarket. All are from companies less than 50 kilometers away and will be washed and reused several times.

So there are places in the world, where this is still possible, although there no longer is a delivery service. But it's more expensive than plastic bottles and even more expensive than single-use plastic, so the majority uses plastic alternatives. Most milk here comes in some kind of cardboard containers that are mixed with a lot of plastic.
If these people worked in asbestos facilities and developed mesothelioma, then there is a very good chance it is the cause. Out of the banned substances, asbestos is one of the few where we can actually count the dead and get a meaningful number.

But air pollution is vague, there are many types of pollutants with different effects, a wide range of diseases, and we are all exposed to it in some way. There may be some rare cases where you can make a direct connection, for example if you are very exposed to a specific chemical, and you develop a disease that is known to be common for people exposed and rare otherwise. But if you just counted such cases, that would be a gross underestimate of the damage air pollution does.
> What does putting into suspend look like?

Two ways to trigger it: timed (via Settings) and ad-hoc (via a software button in a separate Mobile Settings app).
When suspend is triggered, the screen turns off. (You can tell it’s suspend because the phone cools down considerably after a while.) Calls and SMS will wake it up but other events won’t. Waking up with the side button is instant, but it takes a few seconds until wifi and mobile data come up again.

Great. That’s where the tax money went, and thats where they’ll go again once raised.

Really the only option for the uk is to let people decide what to do with the money, by lowering taxes and focusing on the essentials.

The notion that we can perpetually increase taxes to patch gaps left by poor management is ridiculous.

As with all of these discussions, the definition of 'consciousness' is the crux of the argument – and since nobody can agree on that term, we're doomed to talk past each other!

This isn't a bad thing. It's actually the core human question – that of our existence. Stare into a mirror for a few minutes and ask yourself "Why am I me? Why am I here?" and you'll come to the exact same conclusion: unknown and probably unknowable.

I too am a bit surprised that the billionaire doesn't do more but looking at Musk or the land grabbing in California for a new city for example, to get anything done requires dealing with haters and grifters and scammers at the speed of policy changes.

Eventually they give up and try to make a name and legacy.

Helping people is hard. Helping a lot of people is really hard.

I think about gasoline from the evil oil execs. I never had to return their product. It's always affordable compared the associated costs, and it's always available and convenient, and there's no discrimination. California gas would be 20% cheaper if it wasn't taxed 4x before use.
> Those companies will basically sell them to anyone willing to place a volume order

If that were all, you'd see these parts resold through distributors, just like you do for other components like transistors or DRAM or audio codecs. But you don't -- the manufacturers place restrictions on how these parts can be used, and those restrictions typically forbid their resale.

(As an aside, the same is also true of many Intel and AMD CPUs. Some parts are sold to consumers, but many others -- including non-socketed CPUs and motherboard chipsets -- are only sold directly to manufacturers, typically under restrictive terms.)

> an individual can get one of their CPUs on a single board computer

I've never seen one. There's plenty of SBCs built around ARM SoCs which are available on the open market, like Allwinnner or Rockchip, but, as far as I'm aware, Samsung and Qualcomm only sell parts to manufacturers intending to use them in end-user products.
That's right, I definitely had the ordeal of freeing Solaris in mind when I was writing the comment. Honestly something of a minor miracle it even happened. (also I'm pretty sure all the closed stuff got purged out of illumos?, not even using Sun compilers now, it's all gcc/binutils)
Slack launches new Workflow Builder to help better automate your tasks
It's a myth that people can't ride bikes in cities that experience exceptionally hot or cold weather. They can, and do, it's just that the cities need to fund infrastructure to make those things more comfortable and enticing.

For heat specifically, you need trees covering sidewalks and bike paths. Also the materials you build sidewalks and structures with contribute to this, and if you can then adding some evaporative cooling via fountains or ponds is a great idea too. For more ideas: https://www.epa.gov/heatislands/heat-island-cooling-strategi...

The heat island effect is real, and it's only going to get much much worse in cities that refuse to work to fix it.
>The bizarre thing is in practice capitalism works so well

Does it? It's exacerbating environmental destruction, it creates all manner of bullshit jobs that are an epic waste of human potential and it has created a massive underclass who can't even afford the roof over their head.

I dont think this economic system will be looked upon fondly in 500 years any more than we're impressed with the divine right of kings.
Well, to be honest, it seems we have achieved it. At least on a word-thought frame of mind. By no means a spiritual frame of mind.
I am - Great for solo dev-ing.
There was a great article a few years back relating oil from modern Norway to opium from the British in China, forcing them to sell a toxic product the British would never allow their own people to consume.

Having been responsible for running the DOI system for several years, I decided to include DOIs in the parenthesis.
Good riddance. Short term rentals have been banned in NYC for a long time, but Airbnb chose to simply ignore the law and continued to let people list their properties, arguing that the burden of enforcement fell on the city and not their platform. And when the city did make plans to start enforcing the law they had the audacity to run PR campaigns, lobby and finally sue to block it – thankfully all in vain.
Perhaps one should also consider that many significant socialists were killed by other socialists. I am not saying this to defend capitalism or its order, however socialist organisations did not have an international standards that can prevent such calamities nor could they prevent the conflict socialist institutions may have with the workers councils.
