This is all very reminiscent of early attempts at flight 100 years ago that featured crowds and officials gathering to watch a revolutionary new technology only for it to embarrassingly fail.

Maybe in 20 years time I guess.

In Canada, one can also go to jail if you say the wrong thing. They call it "reasonable" free speech laws. That, and technically Canada is still subject to the British Monarchy,

When you think about it, parliamentary systems were designed for constitutional monarchies. Having said that, the United States is literally the only country in the world where free speech exists. Seriously, it is. In the UK, the police get to decide on their own what qualifies as hate speech, which itself is derived from another EU law. It's like Herman Goering saying "I will decide who is a Jew!" and it is enforced just as selectively. When you think deeper on it, this is actually by sheer necessity, and is the inevitable result of slang that changes too quickly for any laws to keep up.

This guy describes it in good detail:

Approach is wrong.

People want to make a fully identically functioning system that they can then replicate activity patterns on.

Instead, make use of the way the brain (and subsequently, the consciousness operating inside it) incorporates and induces activity on implanted devices.

Basically, stop with all this scanning shit. Instead, focus on a single, uniform platform that is well known and easy to simulate, then implant the patient with some implants that link the simulation with the still living organic brain. The organic brain will incorporate the functionality of the simulation. In short, go the ship of theseus route. As the brain begins to fail from either injury or old age, it will rely more and more on the simulation hardware, until eventually, it gives up. If you made the right connections, you will have valid activity in the simulation after the death of the organic component. Congrats, you have an upload.

This requires a very robust simulation platform though, which we do not currently have. DARPA is doing some interesting research on simulating neural columns, and the last I heard anything concrete was years ago, so if the project is still active, I can only assume they have gotten much better at their simulation. I understand that Chinese researchers are also working on simulating neuronal columns--
https://www.youtube.com/watch?... (Still, as interesting as these appear, they are noplace near mature enough to have attached to living humans as ancillary networks to support and replace function.)

Again, the issue of "Every organic brain is so vastly different, there is no way we can scan the physical networks for replication!" becomes less important, when you instead say "Let's build a generic, uniform simulation platform that we can then attach, and exploit neuroplasticity of the organic side for deep integration."

gerrymandering

Too bad Dems are too busy getting Punked again by the same people who lied about Iraq to do something constructive on this or other issues - but that was the point with this little psyop to begin with. And for all the bullshit about Hillary winning the "popular vote" (such a thing doesn't exist for POTUS) they aren't moving an inch to disband the Electoral College. By their own numbers they could have had a full quarter century of unbroken Democratic control of the White House, but it's Russia Russia Russia 24/7.

Then, despite being the first time EVER when one party has a majority of Congress, SCOTUS, and holds the Presidency, totally fail to get most of what you claim to want done.

Could have been worse - could have been like Obama and the filibuster-proof Democratic majority in 2009, who had to contort themselves into pretzel after pretzel in order to avoid passing any of the items they campaigned and won on. Public option, card check, ENDA, repealing DADT & DOMA - all went through the paper shredder before being deposited in the nearest outhouse. Now that shit was embarrassing.

There is also the issue in contract law of capacity, as in the ability to understand and consent.

That is unfortunately more a theoretical factor than a practical factor given how far companies are able to and allowed to skew the imbalance far beyond a David vs Goliat relation to something more like a single soldier against a national army imbalance. In most (all?) countries law/justice is not part of the mandatory education for kids (which when you think about it is crazy; all citizens of a country are supposed to follow all laws but are given no education about (the most important) laws or the justice system). So when companies have at its disposition expert lawyers with both dedicated education and experience which are paid full time to do the work vs the amateur on the other side having to follow up a case on his/her spare time, it is a guaranteed overrun.

Side note: This is worsened by morons like Jack H. Weil which for political reasons are fine with throwing fair trail principals overboard. On the issue of immigrant children not being assigned a layer but having to represent themselves - quote: I've taught immigration law to literally to three-year-olds and four-year-olds. ... They get it. ... it can be done".

There will always be a power advantage for companies that are able to factor in paying lawyers into their operational cost, and I do not think it will ever be possible to remove. But it is most certainly possible to reduce the imbalance from today's unfairness.

If a company present the same legal contract to more than 1000 persons, it is obviously a David vs Goliat relation imbalance. To counter this there should be put some requirements to that contract. If a company present the same legal contract to more than 10000 persons, even stricter requirements. 100000 persons much stricter requirements and more than a million persons - very strict requirements. Exactly the steps and requirements are up for debate, but some fair ones would be

• company is required to provide an accurate summary of the differences if a contact is updated.
• company is required to document that it has given drafts of the contract to a representative sample of its intended recipients and worked on improving it to the point that all/most/some of the persons fully/adequately understands the contract.
• company discloses to the recipient how much (accumulated) effort it has invested in creating the specific contract.
• if a contract is changed, the company is required to document all the negative consequences for the affected person.

with appropriate penalties when this is not done properly.

Right, because Adobe would never develop

Adobe used develop its flagship products for the Mac market first. Then they would back port their software to Windows. This is no longer the case. Now they develop for Windows first then back port to Mac, if they even port at all.

This change in policy came about because of the processor switches that the Mac went through. Over the years Adobe support has continued to be scaled back for the Mac and shifted to Windows.

There is a very good chance that if this switch comes about Adobe will pull all its support for the Mac.

Adobe is a shit company whose main mission seems to be to rip off it's users in the most outrageous way possible. Where I live it actually used to be economical to fly to the US to buy a Photoshop software package before they came up with their current subscription scheme.

Dear Team Creimer,

I just noticed that the Humpty-Dumpty video has ~375 millions views, that should make you salivate!

I have plenty of ideas to make the views on your own youtube channel skyrocket but you didn't contact me yet. Is it because I am a lady? Ethell says that you are sexist but I hope it isn't true.

Anyway, I will give you a free hint anyway: Dress-up as Humpty in your videos, you shouldn't need that much makeup making this a money saving situation in your own case.

My YouTube channel has 222K subscribers and many videos with hundreds of thousands of views:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Now, with some slight adjustments, I think that together, we could make the view count skyrocket on your very own Team Creimer youtube channel :)

Please feel confident to contact me if you want me to coach you, we aren't living so far away from each other so we could even easily meet.

Love XX,

Carl Sagan:

"The worst aspect of the Velikovsky affair is not that many of his ideas were wrong or silly or in gross contradiction to the facts. Rather, the worst aspect is that some scientists attempted to suppress Velikovsky's ideas. The suppression of uncomfortable ideas may be common in religion or in politics, but it is not the path to knowledge. And there's no place for it in the endeavor of science. We do not know beforehand where fundamental insights will arise from about our mysterious and lovely solar system. And the history of the study of our solar system shows clearly that accepted and conventional ideas are often wrong -- and that fundamental insights can arise from the most unexpected sources."

As relevant today as it was 25 years ago: Bill Hicks' recommendation for marketers

Simply probability outcomes like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?.... You alter one of those pegs and the outcome alters. Cell division is not like making a cheese sandwich, that outcome counting millions of moleculeshttps://michaelgr.wordpress.com/2008/04/06/how-many-atoms-to-encode-the-human-genome/ in the correct sequence, must replicate in the correct sequence, otherwise bad things might happen, dependent upon which part of the sequence was in error.

So damage could be routine but the bit of DNA damage is the bit that defines the shape of you nose, buried in DNA in bit of skin in your big toe and you toe does not care what the DNA instructions are for your nose. The more damage, the more pegs altered, the more likely a specific range of DNA damage is going to occur, the ones which prevent bad cell death (dysfunctional cells should self destruct) and allow unhindered cell replication (instead of just replacing a dying cell breeding out of control, sort of like those crazy religious sects, hmm, is that why they call them a cancer on human society) and of course not be rejected by the immune system (too much DNA damage and the cell no longer recognised).

In fact every single rat could have suffered genetic damage just that the cells died, the cells did not reproduce, the cells were eaten by the immune system, the damage did not impact the functionality of that cell (watch out though more errors can accumulate). The older the more likely as basically you keep rolling dice and eventually you get bad numbers. Alter the dice, induce a bias for negative outcomes and you will likely get negative outcomes sooner. Yep, cell replication is the trigger for cancer and lots of stuff can alter that probability outcome, the more antagonists to successful cell replication, the sooner you get a negative outcome.

Suck it up baby, life itself is a dice roll or at least a random variability outcome during cell reproduction, sometimes shit happens. You strive to improve those odds, rather than making them worse.

The 9am work time exists because that's the time that people in their 50s, on average, become most awake and those were the ones in management positions when the working day drifted towards standardisation.

Oh my Gawd - You probably believe that Air conditioning is sexist too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

The average time for different age groups to reach peak awareness is basically later for younger people (teenagers are basically useless before 11am). This has been studied for ages and is well known.

So what? Most people don't need peak awareness in their work. Simple proficiency is fine. Here's a question. Since we are geting to the point of demanding that a person set their hours because of when they are maximally alert - should we do this for everything? There's a meeting, but you don't have to attend because you aren't really quite awake at that time - or do we have to take a poll so that no one is uncomfortable at that time, so we might end up not having meetings at all? Everyone must be at peak alertness, or it's a failure....

And most of all, what of those people who are useful only a few hours a day - it is unfair and "timeist" to force them to work except a tthe times they are feeling it.

And what of the ultimate - the holy grail of the healthy yet time challenged - the person who has no good time at all to be productive? It is discrimination of the highest order to force them to work - they need to be compensated at the level of the career they identify with, yet are too time challenged to work.

There are outliers (in both directions). Any job that expects any kind of alertness or creative output should adapt the work times for individuals. Doing anything else is simply accepting that you won't get the best work out of people and whichever manager decides on it should be willing to explain it to the shareholders and auditors.

Good luck with that idea. The problem with the Snowflake productivity time dictates is that it might be productivity, but is an exact excuse people can use for laziness.

I don't even accept that people can't adjust. My inherent best productivity times are from about 8 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. Justy about useless for the workday. Yet I worked whatever times I needed to through 40 some years and performed very well. That was usually 0800 to 1700, with meetings often coming in at 0600, and various evening times. If I flew from the east coast to the west, and came back a month later, I simply adjusted. I suppose today's snowflakes can't do that, because time zone differences would surely kill them.

Re: "There is a lot of talk about scientists and very little talk about physical theory. As far as I can tell, EU is some conspiracy theory about scientists as opposed to a science theory. Maybe it would be more attractive and approachable if they drop the antisocial, whiny cruft and stuck to business."

It's probably unfair to judge an entire cosmology through Internet comments. Since a lot of the efforts here are focused upon correcting misconceptions, these efforts may come off to some as "whiny". For a more thoughtful introduction, you might consider, instead, reading The Electric Sky by Don Scott, which goes into great length about how we can explain astronomical observations with ordinary laboratory plasma physics observations.

If you'd prefer to avoid purchasing their book, then consider their technical introduction, The Essential Guide -- which is actually geared towards those with an EE background. It is quite technical.

Alternatively, if you come from the world of plasma physics, you'd want to also supplement these works with the second edition of Physics of the Plasma Universe And in that case, there are also a couple of papers you should read here and here, which both review critiques of MHD in good detail.

Personally, I also recommend focusing upon the historical arguments, whose importance are greatly under-appreciated ... e.g., the mistaken assumption of empty space, the story of Kristian Birkeland, the history of the Birkeland current concept, the electron theory as a worldview, the story of Halton Arp, the Big Bang's big redshift assumption, and this discussion of the debate over uniformitarianism vs catastrophism, for starters.

For those that just want a very basic and quick introduction, then watch these two Youtube videos.

There is really no shortage of high-quality resources, pitched at all of the various levels. If you aren't seeing them, then that definitely says more about your own efforts to find these resources than anything else.
