Simplicitas

This convo reminds me of .. “my contention is that prior to the Revolutionary War, the economic modalities—especially in the southern colonies—could most aptly be characterized as agrarian pre-capital —"

lol

Any discussion of a model for consciousness that doesn't include Daniel Dennett's take is a bit lacking from the get go.

In an ideal world, maybe. In the US, where business mostly already owns government, this decision will further erode the little control citizens have over them.

A philosopher who appreciated engineering. RIP Daniel Dennett.

Another feature that make birds really remarkable, if not mistaken, is that they take in oxygen when they inhale AND exhale. Feathers are great, but a creature such as B6 still needs a lot of energy to fly for 10 days straight.

This is awesome. Thank you!

I live in the New Jersey area where all of this happened. I wish someone could recall and mention the actual diner where UTF-8 was supposedly designed :-)

> they fail the "normal human being" test

Hahah

This story will naturally separate the young Hacker News readers from the older ones .. lol

Wars between developed states, who can more easily afford this stuff, are gradually becoming (have become?) a thing of past, and thank goodness.

Go haters are in full display with this one. LOL

"go run" is yet another wonderful feature of an awesome language.

The alternative being?...

Is Permission Slip mobile app, by Consumer Reports another?

"antidote to the darker side of our species." .. LOVE THIS!

Is it just me or does hearing "Zilog Corporation" not sound like it's straight out of the movie "Blade Runner"?

Hahah .. I cannot stop myself from clicking ..

This brings up an interesting question: If the control was fully automated, the computer entirely in charged, would this have happened?

Doesn’t mention the special core reserved for the NSA and other national security agencies :-)

I stopped reading right after that silly comment - the world is full of colors!

Good point. On his passing away right before Blade Runner was release, not even a mention that reportedly Ridley Scott screened parts of the movie, and he evidently was lost for words, saying “I’m in awe that you were able to reproduce what was in my mind”.

Why don’t people use their own TOTP provider, like KeepassXC/Strongbox, storing the DB in an encrypted manner on a cloud of their choice.

Then use across multiple devices.

It took time for this to sync in, so maybe that’s why so many others do not see that there is really no need to have a third party involved in this pattern?

Great to have alternatives, but wish there was a “Why” section in readme

Every time this comes up someone shares the joke about the European Union’s changes to the English language ..

Was expecting this to leverage QEMU

Love your summary. It’s more for the minority of us. For the masses, the negative headline makes the money :-)

Maybe another reminder that we Americans really need the Glass-Steagall Act back.

Call me a cynic, but the most likely explanation for all of this is the Military-Industrial Complex looking for small ways to keep obscene tax money flowing into it.

The rebranding of "UFO" to "UAP" is a dead giveaway, just as it was for changing the "Department of War" to the "Department of Defense".

Definitely a prisoner's dilemma .. an applicable take on where all this is going is Popper's Paradox Of Tolerance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance). Not sure that Elon and many other seemingly well-intended social media free-speech advocates fully grasp the implications of this.

I once shot a duck in my pajamas .. what it was doing there, I have no idea!

Wait! It was an elephant.

Some have even compared them to psychopaths .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corporation_(2003_film) .. which seems fair.
