US Missile Defense Needs to Chill Out
Replying to you from a typical suburban home (3k sf 4 bed, 3 bath with an office and a bonus room).

It’s about 10 feet from the sidewalk at its closest point. It’s about 8 feet from each of the property’s sides.

The back yard is very nice (about 6k sf, with nice outdoor living spaces, room for kids and dogs to run around, and good views).

This seems fairly common for newer construction in the Seattle suburbs.
This conversation is entirely unproductive.

I’ve said twice now that the phenomenon you described (and mislabeled as quackery) is called “talking past each other” and it’s a common criticism. I then linked you to a paper discussing this, and I agreed with you that this is a problem.

The definition of quackery is relevant here, because it implies that philosophical works exist which are deliberately “fake” or pretending to be philosophy when they aren’t. A doctor that is unproductive and wastes everyone’s time isn’t a quack, they’re just unproductive. The phenomenon you described is therefore not quackery, it’s just being unproductive in a way often referred to as “talking past one another.”

This is just a rehashing of the exact same thing I already said. I cannot make this any more clear.

"And yet it is (extremely) improbable that individuals will pay many many billions of dollars/year"

And yet it is happening right now ! You should have looked at the data to see what fees are being paid :-) Looking at the average over the last 10 days: bitcoin users have been paying about 1 BTC in fees per block, so 6 BTC of fees per hour, or $8M per day, or $3B per year (yes, billion with a B): https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/charts/transaction-fees-...

I can't locate a source that calculates exact fees spent over the last 12 months, but per the chart above it seems to be around $1B per year.
Just to add to this, there's all kinds of wild and wacky ways something that seems fine can actually be not-that-fine. For example, when I worked for Microsoft I learned all about how when a product interfaces with people in the PRC, we needed to make sure we don't refer to Taiwan as an independent nation. And there's thousands of little rules like this (e.g., don't use "0xdeadbeef" in places that hold cows to be sacred). So you either make sure you're following all the rules in a sophisticated manner, or you optimize for least offense and move on.

> ukranians have internet, palestinians have controlled internet, and sudan victims have neither

Well in that case, there are people in Sudan that are using bitcoin[1], especially to help others escape the region.

And there are people in Africa using bitcoin without reliable internet access[2] (not just Sudan) using various methods mentioned in that article.

So it seems that bitcoin is not totally useless for a region that has limited or no internet access, as long as it's operating elsewhere.

The thing most people don't understand about the O1 is that it's on your lawyer to prove that you're going to build is important and that you're legit. The large majority don't understand tech and will likely not have a clue what you're doing.

The O1 is a visa for actors and artists; it's not all about founders. So I wouldn't expect them to know what YC is, Github, or anything technical.

Always consult am immigration lawyer, just help them understand what you do.
Bullshit. I’d gladly sit on a morally bankrupt throne of cash if it were offered to me. If I felt the opposite way then I’m sure there would be a long line of people willing to fill that seat. You exist in a bubble.
I suppose for the Internet to _permanently_ go away that would mean frying every device with a TCP/IP stack and network hardware. I think every nation-state could shut down their own Internet indefinitely and the maybe top 5 most offensive-cyber capable countries could shutdown the global Internet for as long as they desired.
If people need to put in that much work, it won't be of much use to buy groceries with it, as the kid at the grocery store can't even spell SDR. If it were me, I'd spend my effort rebuilding terrestrial IP networks over copper instead. It would be more useful.

I'm actually quite agreeable to idea the that much of philosophy is incoherent nonsense. I would have completely gone to bat for this commenter if they said Heidegger was such an example. Or Searle for that matter. I can even see the case for Kant. And they all have their defenders, just not me.

But even for someone as sympathetic to that argument as I am, I don't see any version of Wittgenstein's reflections on the Tractatus as agreeing it to be nonsense much less a paradigmatic example of it. It's not just a matter of the later Wittgenstein being the "good" stuff. The Tractatus built on the work of Frege and was incredibly dense in its logical expressions, and half the challenge is keeping up with him, because he did philosophy from the perspective of an engineer, knowledgeable in logical and mathematical notation. It's one of the essential works of philosophy from the 20th century.

I've been saying this for years! Almost everyone I know scoffs, "bah, there's no known case of a human ever catching it!" To which I've said, "That's what they said about BSE, too! Do you want to win the lottery of having a disease named after you?"

Surely they have crazy European rules instead? The EU isn't exactly known for a lack of rules.
Lets assume a state-sponsored threat model, with AS blackholing. It may happen the node you connect to sparsingly to sync your ledger is a malicious one, and does not represent the main ledger.

Lets assume you are in a country at war, with poor conectivity and you receive money via blockchain; Poor conectivity means the local places where you can spend your virtual money aren't synced, possibly for weeks. What good is for you money you can't access?

There are far better ways of carring value in warzones. Crypto currency is the most useless one - specially because you can't easily bribe anyone with it.
If a much more intelligent species comes to earth and says, we'll kill you all now , or we'll farm you for organs, at age 70; However, we'll help your species have a fairly good life and chance of survival overall ? I'd take it. Even if my kids were impacted.

Then imagine if they said: "it's likely that due to advancements in science, in 50 years we won't need to do this anymore because we'll have lab grown organs so we'll just leave you guys alone when we have what we need". I would double take that deal. This is likely where we are now.

The major difference with all of this discussion though is that obviously, animals are conscious, I don't believe they're capable of reasoning where they would be disturbed or troubled by such a deal. We're capable of understanding that our kids will be slaughtered for organs in 70 years from their birth. We also have strong emotions tied to this. So we'd be upset about it so I think that makes it a worse deal. Not the worst possible deal in such a theoretical circumstance, but it would be better than annihilation.

Definitely not saying this means this is ideal for anyone, animals or humans, nothing is perfect, I just don't think it's catastrophic.
That’s human theories which is way downstream of the classical interpretation/paradigm of nature being defined as physical processes.

We live in a wildly different world now. Cars, shopping centers, everything is bigger.

Is that bad? Depends on your viewpoint. As far as I can tell, people are buying what they like so the customer is happy.

There are side effects we don't like, but I can see attempting to solve that could have its side effects.

Eventually, the market works this out. We got sick of sprawl some people moved back to the cities.

Houses are too big? Some people live in much smaller homes closer to the city or even tiny homes.
This post.

There's I think supposed to only ever be 21 million bitcoin. Bitcoin rewards for mining halve every ~4 years. Eventually they will stop; there will be no new bitcoin.

People will also lose bitcoin; this already happens. Famously, no one knows where ~1m bitcoin supposedly mined by Satoshi are, they are assumed to be permanently out of circulation. So not only is there a cap on maximum bitcoin, and over time less new bitcoin will be injected into circulation, existing bitcoin will also be removed from circulation over time.

This presents a strong incentive to hold bitcoin instead of spending it, since scarce assets become more valuable with increased scarcity. If a bitcoin is likely to be worth more tomorrow than it is today, you're less likely to spend it. Which has the compound effect of reducing bitcoin in circulation further.

This is why people say it's deflationary.
> he said at one point in some interview almost exactly this: That most of the mental states we think we have don't really exist. I think it's also in his book Consciousness Explained (1991), but I didn't read it so can't be sure.

I can't speak about whatever interview you saw, but in the book Consciousness Explained he does not say what you are describing. He says the same thing he says in one of his papers, I think it's "Real Patterns", which appeared in one of his later collections: Real consciousness does exist, but it is not like what many people think it is like. It does not have all of the properties that many people think it has. He does say that things with those properties don't exist--because nothing with those properties can exist. But he does not say that consciousness does not exist--just that it doesn't have those properties.

> the apparent total denial of experience

He doesn't say this either, although many of his opponents misdescribe him as saying that--because they cannot understand what he is actually saying. The only concept of consciousness they can grasp is the magical concept they have in their heads--I call it "magical" because it cannot exist if consciousness is a physical process working according to physical laws. And the latter kind of consciousness, the physicalist kind, is the kind Dennett describes and the kind he believed existed. So for opponents of his who can't even grasp that there is such a concept of consciousness, the only way they could interpret what Dennett was saying was that he was denying that consciousness existed.

But that is a gross misrepresentation of his views: he was not saying that people don't have experiences or thoughts. He was just saying that those real things, when you actually do the hard work of figuring out how they work in accordance with physical laws, turn out not to have some of the properties that people thought they had before that hard work was done. This is no different from any other concept once we try to build an actual scientific understanding of it.

> John Searle

Whose Chinese Room thought experiment was debunked in The Mind's I (though that's hardly the only rebuttal that has been published), and I suspect that chapter in the book was written largely by Dennett, since he published other similar rebuttals later on.
What do you think the minimum complexity would be before an animal can show a personality?
I'm just annoyed with the lack of reading comprehension. My statement was "we've drastically increased one of the primary greenhouse gas concentrations at a rate unseen in Earth's history". I am aware of no other scientific evidence, or even hypotheses, where greenhouse gas concentrations changed as quickly, and that includes periods of extreme vulcanism, such as when the Siberian Traps were created.

Again, if you have any evidence or citations to the contrary, "put up or shut up".

Not necessarily. You could take your bitcoins to your grave.

Ya but that was coordinated by the union for the benefit of the union, right? These people are going rogue. I don't think the UAW would support them either.
Variations in cosmogenic radionuclides like beryllium-10 provide an independent proxy of how Earth's paleomagnetic intensity changed.

Indeed, Panovska found that the average production rate of beryllium-10 during the Laschamps excursion was two times higher than present-day production, implying very low magnetic field intensity and lots of cosmic rays reaching Earth's atmosphere.

Specifically, I'd guess, that twice as many cosmic rays reached the surface, at that location, than the mean present day average that reach the surface. *

The location hedging is due to:

magnetic field excursions, brief periods in which the intensity of the magnetic field wanes and the dipole (or two magnetic poles) that we're familiar with can disappear, replaced with multiple magnetic poles. The Laschamps excursion that occurred around 41,000 years ago is among the best studied. It features a low magnetic field intensity that implies less protection for Earth's surface from harmful space rays.

So the magnetic sheilding in the upper atmosphere and further out "in space" had 'holes' and was not like the 'modern' IGRF.

The Earth still had a denser lower atmosphere, though, which also provides protection from cosmic rays - geophysical air surveys for ground radiometrics have to calibrate for cosmic rays by running "stacks" .. survey lines high up in the air and prgressivel closer to the ground in order to estimate the cosmic falloff with atmospheric density for the duration of the ground survey.

* "twice as many* is also a hand wave, cosmic ray energy has a spectrum and the changed geomag field would bend the pass through spectrum and likely allowed more high energy gamma's through .. the end result was the doubling of the creation of a proxy indicator.
Either this joke is going over my head or this is a term I need to look up :D

When the Supreme Court rules on this topic specifically, union lawyers are going to be fairly clear about the consequences and advice strongly against it. Whoever organized this at Google either didn’t do a basic Google search or didn’t care about very clear consequences.

A parallegal I work with told me he has argued that the podcasts have a wide audience because they're available across multiple platforms (vs a niche website).

So don't bother if it's someone's personal blog but if it's a regular podcast that's been running for a bit and is available widely, an interview with them is good!

me too I was into halo 2 modding when I was young and knew very little programming at all.

the concepts there blew my mind, almost, I was too green to follow how it worked even to start. it was so dynamic I fundamentally didn't understand how something could be like that.

how could a player position be within the same context as a weapon that had configurations and then effects themselves were in that same list.

a lot of the stuff I'm interested in very much circles around these same concepts.

It's odd how people say "no inflation risk" when the price of Bitcoin goes down sometimes, and it's the same thing. Inflation is a price change.

The difference, of course, is that the price of Bitcoin also goes up sometimes.

The projections are that population decline will hit the whole world, it's just hitting developed nations first. So immigration is only a temporary solution that'll last a few decades.

If we really want to address population decline, we have to reverse the reasons people are choosing to have fewer children. Which starts with policies aimed to give child-bearing aged adults better financial stability, affordable housing, and support -i.e. easily available, non bank breaking childcare (perhaps even free childcare), improved income / decreased expenses to make it easy to have financial security while also having extra bedroom(s) for kids, and longer, paid parental leave.

Whereas the existing housing crunch, continued downward pressure on median and lower incomes, bare minimum parental leaves, and high cost of childcare in the US discourages and delays a lot of people from having children.
This is a really good point because the vast majority of YC members (97-99%) either graduated or dropped out from Ivy League level schools, or really highly rated state schools. (Dropouts are also a very small minority.) There are YC members who didn’t come from prestigious schools, but they are outliers. Maybe it’s changed the last 4 years? That’s when I stopped tracking it.
It lets you increase taxes without actually increasing taxes. People get upset when you increase taxes (sometimes upset enough to create their own country), but less so when you increase the money supply a little bit.

Sure, but in that case, the alignment really just saves you on conductors, it's not required for the larger structure to operate correctly. The posts aren't meaningfully tied together in any structural way unlike a post and pier "foundation."

What I meant was, for something like a building, the plan will describe the invariants of the design, but what it really reveals are all the available variants in achieving that outcome on the actual site. With a solar farm that available variance is actually very small because the overall "plant" has very little additional or emergent structure.

How many Sudanese do you know that are using bitcoin right now instead of money on their pocket? Yah, the article is about sending money to their families (since traditional wire transfers are not working -I wonder why?), not that people can actually cash it in.

Oh and lets not even talk on the fluff promotion piece of a L2 startup with gasp 3000 users across 7 nations - none of which are Sudan. Nigeria alone has 218 MILLION people. Are you kidding me?
