Bing?

Ya but clicking that doesn't even work. And I rarely go on Twitter so I don't know why they would do it intentionally.

"We've got about 400 people in this room.... Imagine if dinner was carted into this room, and four people got half the food. The night would end in violence," Anand Giridharadas told IDEAS host Nahlah Ayed at a public event hosted by the Samara Centre for Democracy."

Violence is unethical. Half of the food is theirs who is the rest to take it away from them?

What do you think about the claim that non profits like Bill's are only designated such to get favorable tax policies and are actually profit driven investment vehicles?

Apologies. That's just what I thought of when the comparison with indigenous was brought up.

But that's not the only reason it's a bad comparison. When Manhattan was purchased there was no market. Chinese are buying things at market prices. Which I was taught are fair.

For wealthy people churches are for socializing. For developing countries churches can provide health care, food assistance and such.

Why does Twitter often fail to load when I open a thread and if I refresh it works. Does Twitter use us-fail-1?

But I don't think he's suggesting he's reporting his experience with Britons. I'm pretty sure they evade the bad parts of empire in their education. Just like the Civil Rights Movement is sanitized in US.

I guess it matters to people who want to bring colonialism back to Africa, Lebanon or Hong Kong. I think HN is pretty down with the last one so I don't know what you're talking about.

I think he was being charitable. Not wanting to offend anyone. He ended like this

So for British teachers wondering how to teach the subject, it is important to cite various perspectives, including, crucially, the perspectives of the colonised; not in a wholly arbitrary manner seeking to buttress this or that grand narrative, but in a way revealing the complexities and contradictions of Britain’s colonial encounter with Africa.

which suggests he doesn't agree with their views. I think he is pretty neutral.

OP likes to feel the rush of shooting the messenger.

I think this is because churches provide services that governments in developing countries cannot. People there are more likely to be religious because churches provide value to them.

> Didn't we do this to the indigenous people here once ourselves?

Not until they invade and slaughter everyone here. And no that's probably not going to happen. Hilarious that people think this way though.

I don't know about balance but the person that embodied every human virtue renounced his citizenship and he lived happier than his peers, lacked nothing and stood taller than kings. We can't all be Diogenes but he's something people should strive towards.

fish is pretty popular?

Can you share the notes you took while debugging? What was being sent, which dll or exe was doing it?

The wearer.

To people who think the point of fashion is to imitate people with higher status, fashion loses its value if your name carries status for you.

It does sound crazy but that's mainly because it'd be crazy for mainstream Chinese opinions to be discussed in English. Maybe r/china.

Ya but other people not having the choice to side load apps makes the app economy better. Seems reasonable.

Maybe it's not the responsibility of the toolkit library to manage window placement?

How do you know those language bindings wouldn't exist if GTK+ used C++?

He has such an account because he wants to remain anonymous because views such as his are such that people like you would censor and ostracize him. Such is the hypocrisy of one who cries for freedom and free speech.

If he thinks GPT-3 is a simple consciousness then any language model would be a simple consciousness. That doesn't make intuitive sense.

It's OK to be open to that idea as long as you are open to various definitions of consciousness.

As for consciousness, I am open to the idea that a worm with 302 neurons is conscious, so I am open to the idea that GPT-3 with 175 billion parameters is conscious too. I would expect any consciousness to be far simpler than ours, but much depends on just what sort of processing is going on among those 175 billion parameters.

How can he say that without defining what he means by conscious first?

Why can't they write the code to a writeable page then remove the write permissions when they need to execute it?

Why do people keep saying China doesn't allow US tech? Apple, Microsoft, Google, Tesla all make a lot of monies in China.

The history of computers seems tell us that people don't care about security until they're compelled to.

It could be used to deter users from making multiple accounts. It won't stop determined spammers though.
