I guess this isn’t super related to the article but from my experiences here on HN, even if conversations are not outright trolling or insulting, the warmth just isn’t there.
The style of argument isn’t horrible but it’s also not as constructive as it would be if it were amongst in-person friends who knew and cared about each other.
It’s been great. All the best. Bye!
I'm speaking from firsthand personal experience, and overwhelming experience seeing others go through the same cultural conditioning I described in my post.
Extreme sex and body shame.
We receive, from a young age, shame about exposing - even with clothing on - “sexual” parts of the body - breasts, butt, and crotch.
Women are strongly motivated to tuck in the backside because it is both shamed and unsafe in our society to stick out our butts. This is why women squat to tie their shoes in public. Rape, assault, catcalling, is so prevalent and a constant awareness for women in public. This pose would also be considered “unprofessional” in a workplace.
Men are discouraged as well, lest they incur the worst male insult in our society : “gay”. Men are shamed and called gay from childhood if they take this hip-hinge pose. So they stop.
Bending at the waist exposes the vulnerable backside in a way that is unsafe in historically Puritanical Western society.
You’re going to have to deal with the baby first, and that issue has nothing to do with free speech.
It has to do with the real, sad, abused people who do this behavior. Their society and families have failed them and now we are paying the price.
Somewhow these people are going to need to be taken care of in the real world otherwise this problem will never go away.
He can pretty much say the “DNA” is anything he wants, since it’s after the fact.
Also people who use “sciency-sounding” words this brazenly make me want to puke.
“It’s hard-wired in the neural net!”
Also, we are not slaves to “biology”. We are perfectly capable of murdering each other but we don’t, because we have rules. Rules trump biology.
Is the advantage of the computer that it has no rights to being paid or treated fairly?
If that’s the case, we need to set where the rules are. What if my “AI” is 50% stem cells grown into a real brain and 50% a computer? Is it cool to enslave that too?
What about if an embryo is involved?
The whole AGI thing makes no sense. If the point here is slavery, someone needs to say it.
Whether it’s equality or justice or art or freedom or inclusion or community, those are all things worth fighting for.
The noise has been narrowed down to one island that has "a few blasting operations". So stop the operations and see if the hum goes away. Then have each one restart one at a time. Or bo binary search, whatever. It doesn't matter.
The obvious takeaway here is that the city/state/province does not care. They are too deep in the pockets of those industries to make any waves at all.
Government has so little power to do anything. They are just the paid legitimizers of the corporations.
Are you looking for co-hackers?
Here's my project on Project Board: https://goo.gl/VPLsoC laurenmendoza@gmail.com
Don’t get me wrong I love the stores, and it’s sad to lose nice things. I’m not happy about it.
But don’t blame the new CEO, blame the old CEO for doing nothing for a decade as the market transformed around them.
Have you?
Has this guy never taken a look at his situation and noticed something off?
He works in a relaxing huge retail store reading books to kids for free, and makes above min wage and keeps his job for the next 20 years and supports 5 kids???
That’s insane, and completely abnormal. No one else with that same type of job has that kind of life.
It reminds me of someone I know who lived in an in-law with no rent control and no law against eviction, for 15 years, paying 60% of market rate. And then was completely stunned and devastated when the landlord gave 60 day notice. Really???
Their whole deal was “we are going to merge humans and machines”, yet it had zero technical side on how to do that.
“It has become a conference and seminar company” .....
No, that’s what it was from day 1.
A lot of people are experiencing real harm to their mental state from habitual social media use.
Most CEOs and VPs are idiots, handing money around to each other in a circle jerk of old white guys club, backslapping each other for hiring each other and keeping the hegemony going.
These idiots do not know what they are doing, they have just been conditioned to ooze confidence and ignore critics.
I guess you could always explain any war by listing all the events that came righ before, but I don’t think that answers another question, which is this:
Why is it “ok” for governments to hire huge groups of people to murder other people, when murder is not ok in other settings? This is an obvious legal and moral contradiction right?
I’m pretty poor too but I feel like I have other options than to put my life in danger.
