Is the android version less stable than iOS? I ask because on the website https://getquirk.app/ , you haven't mentioned it and avoided putting link on Github yet.

Thanks for working on this!

>Slightly off topic, but I'm convinced we'll also eventually have a lot of robust data that shows that alcohol, even in minor but regular amounts (2-3 drinks most days of the week, say) has large negative effects on mood/energy that build up over time.

Do you remember any particular studies that show this? Would love to read more on this topic.

I think the idea might be to have them for different kinds of works. We might be seeing 0.1% of the work these robots (this particular design) will actually do.

This made me just realize that MBS might fund Enquirer's legal fights with Bezos which may reduce the possibility of Enquirer's extinction (as everyone is hypothesizing).

They have President's blessing, who is already acting above national security interest. So yeah, they don't care.

There is enough crime to marvel at right now.

It is possibly due to pressure from Saudi Arabia. MBS was pissed that WP is going after him after killing of Khashoggi. Enquirer (and Pecker) are quite close to MBS, they ran a cover story on him (how awesome he is).

It could be a bigger story than it seems at the moment.

Evolutionary speaking, all the animals that care for their young or form bonds with other animals (same species) for cooperation have a higher likelihood of feeling emotions that you mentioned in your comments. Pain might be universal but things like "love", "play", "excitement", "boredom" etc. are highly unlikely in crustaceans or even fish.

So it's very clear that eating mammals and birds is ethically not okay but apart from the environmental reasons, eating sea food is probably not as bad as eating mammals/birds.

Are you based in US or a European country? The whole point of projects like Sci-hub is to help people in poor countries where $300 is insane amount of money for getting access to a journal.

What you saw probably was the collection created by Nicky Case. Check his own explanations though https://ncase.me/ and then also check http://worrydream.com/#!/ExplorableExplanations (and other explanations by Bret Victor)

Really? Considering AI has (or will soon have) the best "brain" when it comes to adapting its default heuristics based on new information, plants don't seem to fit the right explanatory model.

I would like to know in what way you think they are a better model than animals.

He could have been grilled, sure. But I don't think that was the reason as Google was arranging someone else to show up before this leaked.

Nothing in this video is surprising though. It has always been clear that the value system of people in Silicon Valley is completely different from Republican values. Their despise for Trump or his base is the most obvious connection anyone can make.

I personally would love to see more such companies (more innovation) but unfortunately Bird scooters seem to be having legal trouble in my city Milwaukee:

Can you also share the slatestarcodex link if that was a different post?

I think this factor is overplayed sometimes. Why can't people simply be lazy and not driven or motivated enough to overcome that laziness? It doesn't help that internet and TV feeds into that laziness and lack of motivation by providing quick escapes from thinking about what needs to be done.

OP's post is presenting correlation of moderate consumption with lower Cardiovascular disease and no correlation with higher consumption. Did you read the paper?

>We selected participants eligible for mortality follow-up, aged 20 years and above, who answered “yes” or “no” to the question, “Have you ever used marijuana or hashish?” Participants who answered yes were classified marijuana users and those who answered no, as non-marijuana users. Duration of marijuana use was estimated by subtracting participant’s age at marijuana use initiation from the age at the 2005 screen.

So even if I smoked a single joint since I started smoking, I am put in the the same bucket as someone who smokes weed daily? That doesn't sound right. Am I missing something?

>In certain sandbox environments traffic is intercepted by replying to all URL lookups with an IP address belonging to the sandbox rather than the real IP address the URL points to, a side effect of this is if an unregistered domain is queried it will respond as it it were registered (which should never happen).

Can someone please explain this? I have no idea what was said there.

There is barely any human on this planet without an agenda. Not sure what your point is. Is it that we should stop trying new experiments with news because some humans are involved?

do you have any particular blogposts in mind that go into details of what you explained here?

Any way to read the article without signing in? Can someone paste useful paragraphs from the article here?

He actually won 7 on trot until carlsen drew with him : 'Carlsen, employing an unexpected Accelerated Dragon defense, fell behind early but then managed to work a draw. Caruana’s streak of outright victories was over. “It's an amazing result,” said Carlsen in a post-match interview with Sinquefield Cup commentators. “Even if he doesn't turn up for the last two games, it would be one of the greatest of our time.”'

If they are scanning novels and lyrics in various languages, there is also an interpretation that musicians and writers have in general written more positive words in their work. This can be part of art instead of something inherit to language.

i guess putting graphite in an inverted container made of glass should make it a bit safer.

I was using Firefox on OSx at the time I checked. I did another check on Opera and refresh isnt working and displaying same error. Now I can move between textboxes using tab.

Refreshing the page not working, "cant get /results".

Tabbing doesn't work so I have to click on every text box to type.

You need to increase the number of colleges on the first page itself.

Keep working on this(potential of being helpful to many) and add more criteria as you mentioned.

This is great. can you recommend a few readings to someone who is interested in artificial life(and has some programming experience) but not sure where to start?

You are probably not seeing this but your point needs refutation.

Dawkins model(not his actually but he presented to general public) was not competition-centric. Main idea was gene centric view of life. Competition, cooperation, symbiosis etc all were explained from the genes point of view. The thing to note is, even when we see apparent 'cooperation' between species, at the genes level there is a competition with other gene pools. So the non-competitive forces look so on the surface, but the only thing genes care about is moving on to the next generations and spreading as much copies as possible even if that happens with symbiosis.

Gould on the other hand, was not happy with this selfish view of life(everyone says he had Marxist ideologies which made him a bit bias). He thought of selection as happening at multiple levels, not just limited at genes but also species and individual. This was the main controversy between him and dawkins.

So, to reply to GPs query, yes that quote is sort of incorrect since everyone agreed that cooperation and symbiosis(Darwin too) are very much part of evolution.

>bacteria that are less prone to washing away

The only reason a bacteria will be less prone to washing away is if its useful for our skin in some way and has a symbiotic relationship with it. In which case its highly unlikely if it will turn out to be harmful in the long run.

In any case, is there any evidence that we do have some skin microbiota that sticks even after good soap wash?
