A Cryptographer's Moral Responsibility

http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~rogaway/papers/moral-fn.pdf

An academic cryptographer says scientists and engineer's must protect people from surveillance.

cleangreenandnotsomean

This guy actually compares the situation to the moral responsibility of nuclear scientists in the 1940s. I think this isn't quite a parallel not so much because of the stakes but because he is asking people to go beyond their jobs and become activists where as the 1940s guys (including Einstein) were petitioning existing leaders.

Those 40s scientists were up against something inevitable so they could only stall things a bit, this lot can actually enable.

It seems Tim Cook is taking it pretty seriously and I applaud him. Apple is in the position to help freedom in a way but no politician could ever accomplish because technology is the enabler of human progress.

wells

he was, now he is lying with a gun to his head, just like any company beholden to governments that must see everything

ted

I'm not so sure of this, technology is what allows all the surveillance to begin with. To take things to the extreme think of primitive people with no technology and the freedom to do whatever they want, put anything in their bodies, go wherever they please, etc.

This piece is worth listening to, the former head of anti terrorism efforts for the US gov is on Apple's side and besides the says everyone in government besides the FBI is too.

What is post-humanism?

Ubik

Essentially, it's what humanity would become once a critical level of technological progress has been made, beyond which we can no longer be considered entirely "human."
It doesn't mean a world with no humans, it means a change in definition of what a human is.

theStrokes

and we think identity politics is bad now

yagz

It's a bit vague if you ask me because it means *everything* that comes after us: AI, cyborgs, augmented humans and god knows what else. I prefer "trans-humanism" which implies people transcending the human body.

Post Humanism means information tech based evolution whereas transhumanism means the "everything"

Acuity 9.7/10

That's a lot like the question "When is the Singularity?" the moment that artificial intelligence passes humans'. A lot of people laughed at Kurzweil's predictions for this happening in the 2020s, but with all the progress in the last year and the exponential curve this is following he might be right.

evey

It might be easier to say its coming than it's here. If you work as an uber driver or a stock trader you are already taking orders from an a.i. entity much smarter than you.

illirum

Post humanism hahah... maybe parasitism? As a species we are already doing it.
Btw. Im down only for analogue transhumanism in any case.

In essence it is man being puppeted by Satan into trying to eradicate God. To replace God with a counterfeit. It is the attempt at justifying what was done in the Garden of Eden and fulfilling Satans promise that 'ye will be as Gods'.

the same old revolution is still avoidable

yeah yeah if you look at all the data when any society gets this stratified a revolution always follows. but we are are pre-post-humans self-aware of this fact! so we can do it different this time and get fucked over differently, worst case.

poor suckers (most of the world) are handed serf jobs - the spoils of a trade war "protecting" them. for their labor they get to take it in the ass from monopolies, polluters and anyone else that they are sold to by the "leaders™.

the sycophantic rich get their spoils too - the poor's labor and the right to suck back every cent in consumerism. but they are just as vulnerable as the poor, if don't pay the rulers for their privileges they are reminded that ultimate authority ultimately owns everything it wants because it has the guns. if they dont play ball the fallen are made into public examples; the leaders thus bond with the rabble who revel in the schadenfreude.

ultimately authoritarians sell out the poor to the rich and vice versa a very old art perfected by russian tzar's. and as long as both sides remain divided the cunt standing in the middle can play savior to both sides.

while many rich savor an ass kissing plutocracy some of them actually say fuck you to the government just like the masses of disenfranchised. maybe they hate injustice or maybe they just cant stomach the ass kissing. and the poor are ready for anything.

no doubt burn it all down has some delicious appeal but the aftertaste is still a bunch of cunts playing divisive games. only they don't even have the brains to build the shit they just stole.

somebody tell me another way.

Anyone here have noopept?

I just did after near daily use for months and I felt bad for 6 days max. I can't say I missed it a lot and used the time to experiment with other nootropics especially the racetams. I will start the semester all healthy with noopept and then start slipping in the moda when studies start heating up.

downHillz

I did and I missed it tbh. Not so much for the focus but for awareness feeling when it first kicks in. That said glad I took a break.

revenge is still harm fella. see the prime directive.

The prime directive on Star Trek is easier to define than "do no harm" on little biggy but I do agree it's unequivocal harm.

How much flower is used to make 1 gram of cart oil/juice?

That depends on the integrity of the chemist. Whole problem with carts if you ask me.

on {cannabis}

How much flower is used to make 1 gram of cart oil/juice?

Hi,

Just curious to know how much flower goes into making 1 gram of vape oil. Don't need an exact figure, I assume anything between 2/3 grams are used and the byproducts then used to make other cannabis related products such as edibles, massage oils, creams etc.

I have tried looking it up on the Web, however I'm not having much luck. Would be nice to get some info from people who make the oil or anyone with a greater knowledge then myself.

Many thanks.

blackdragon00

I’m having trouble with this myself too HBiz with the quantity of weed to 1g cartridge ratio, I think it works out to a similar amount for homemade rosin, where you usually gain back 10 - 25% back depending on how much you put in. For example a gram of weed will get you a return of .1g - .25g of rosin if you have a rosin press or you can do the hair straightener method. With that being said, you’ll probably need to have 4g - 10g or more, but I’d say the 7 gram mark on average. I’m honestly not too sure mate, hope someone can help inform us on it more who’s more experienced. Hope this helped though.

HBiz

Thanks Bd

ram9198

amen. very inconsistent

HBiz

Thanks for the heads up. I wasn't aware there was inconsistencies. I'll do some research into it.

ram9198

I probably should mention that most of the ones I've bought on LB are good and I've bought carts from 5 different vendors.

I've had 2 duds but the rest of them were very good, just various degrees of potency

blackdragon00

Yeah that’s true enough, the potency varies with each seller, I think the best I’ve had is MJconcentrates so far, but I know GC has got some carts in now that i wanna try out. If you’re making the carts yourself, you’ll at least know the potency depending on the weed or concentrate you decide to use for it.

HBiz

See, I only do vapes. Did have a quick look at the inconsistencies but I think as long as you have a good branded cart (my personal favourites are heavy hitters and select-at the moment) and a decent enough battery, you're good to go.

Yes, you should look into each brand to see the vibe on the Web and then make an informed decision. A good friend did say that he's not been feeling anything bad nor is he growing any extra fingers, so he's going to stick with vaping. He does have a point.

Only bad experience I've had with a cart is I ponce dropped my vape and the cart smashed. Gutted, best part of a gram gone.

ram9198

the 2 bad ones I had burned too fast. I'm not sure what the problem was but I could watch the contents disappear with each toke. After 7-8 puffs, it was all gone.

I prefer ingesting b/c it's longer and more intense high for me. I vape with the carts to kill the time I wait for the ingestion (green dragon, distillates, or brownies) to kick in or when I want to catch a quick buzz

What is the correct dosage for my first time using modafinil?

mastershake

It depends what you are using it for and how you plan to move forward.

If you are a shift worker or have chronic fatigue syndrome you are going to want to manage for long term effects, you'll be taking it up to 5 times a week (always take a couple of days off) and you want to get away with the minimal dose that will keep you awake, that's going to be 200mg for most people but 400mg is possible after a month of usage. taking more than this is serious business, even with a relatively benign drug like moda, make sure you have the medical history for this especially cardio health and monitor closely.

if you are taking moda for an exam or project a 1/2 (100 mg) will get you through a day if you don't eat much; a full 200 mg is ok, don't do more without an a.d.d. diagnosis.

whatever you do stay away from caffeine and other stimulants.
