What I meant was: Why would System76 failing affect Purism (negatively)? I understand that there's some correlation as they're both targeting a similar audience, but it doesn't seem to me like they depend too much on one another.

How are Purism and System76 related?

Why switch the OS instead of just removing snaps?

How do you know the WiFi is never turned on?

Medicine, robotics, social media that improves people's lives, maybe fix universities (or create an alternative. You can learn a lot on the internet, but social aspect of it can be improved), ...

> There are much fewer female Chess players, so it is logical that there are less female GM’s

But even relative to the total number of female players, much smaller % reaches GM.

Who has the power then, if anyone?

I'm young so I'm still fairly healthy but I do have some minor issues(that aren't solvable in an easy way) and the thought of my health continuing to decline over time terrifies me. To make matters worse, nobody around me seems to care. All those issues are solvable, if we had more knowledge and better tools. I'm not sure how I can contribute, but I am sure that this is the most important problem that affects everyone and something I want to dedicate my life to.

What's the alternative?

Nf3

I doubt it. I have the latest version of Arch Linux.

Is the entire list shared anywhere?

The issue is when positions are completely equal and there is no reasonable way to progress. It might still be technically possible to win in such positions, but it would require someone to make extremely bad moves and almost certainly lose. If there is no rule that forces draws in such positions, then players will just keep moving pieces without purpose until either someone's time runs out or 50 moves without capture / threefold repetition happens.

You can still change/remove anything you dislike.

There's still a time investment.

Iirc, they wanted to make a "YouTube for music". It's unfortunate it didn't work out for them, because a lot of the same piracy problems were present on YouTube.

I miss this website so much. It had a soul, unlike most websites today. Post about the pirate flag is also worth reading.

It doesn't seem to me like the rest of the world is united against China. Even the US companies and universities are very friendly with them.

Do you think MIT doing something would've made a difference?

Does anyone know what wins in the longevity field is Vitalik referring to?

I'm confused. Why wouldn't they pay you the minimum you requested. Why would you put an upper limit to your salary? Is this some strange game people play?

I wouldn't expect Covid to be the main reason for suicide, but a small nudge to those who are already close to it.

What do you mean by "the normal state of living beings"?

2 days ago, he said in an interview:

> A month or so from now, there's stuff I can't talk about, that is happing that will be really seismic in this field. Somebody whose name we all know, and whose name I cannot mention, but who has been talking to me and has been interested in this for more than 15 years is finally going to be doing something. And if you're listening for god sake don't fuck it up the way Larry Elison did 20 years ago and the way Larry Page did 8 years ago. Get it right."

My thoughts: The biggest problem about radical life extension is still cultural. I honestly don't understand how this is not the most important thing in everyone's life. I'm not trying to attack or shame anyone, I'm genuinely clueless. What are people doing that is more important?

What are the negative side effects of vitamin C supplements?

Only ~10% of plant based omega 3s is "useful" - https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/why-not-flaxseed...

What would they need the better hardware for?

What can be done about this though? I don't think it's a good idea to make life harder for those who are privileged in some way, because it will just lead to a world where everyone is equally miserable. And it would be wrong to put all the women in this category, because not all of them have the privilege that you talk about.

Can HN help me understand this: When people say that free will doesn't exist, is that a falsifiable position? What would it take to convince you that free will does exist?
