For decades, scientists, doctors and dietitians said that eating fat caused heart disease, and you should decrease your fat in your diet. Only in the last couple of years has this "fact" been deemed wrong.

I don't think you would have found a single scientist, doctor or dietitian since the 70s that would have disagreed with the above. It was taken as fact and anyone who thought differently would have been a laughing stock.

The same goes with global warming caused by CO2. It makes for an easily digestible theory, but it doesn't explain many known facts. Global warming caused by CO2 has never been proven, obviously, since you can't do experiments on a global scale. So there's already a lot of faith that you would need to take into consideration. There's circumstantial evidence at best. But still a lot of unknowns about climate and the vast changes that the Earth has undergone over the last 6B+ years, so to say that we know that the current warming trend is caused by CO2 to me is not science.

If you read this thread, it's humorous to read all of the people who think that there is data going back millions of years that links CO2 to climate change. It's a great example of how regular people just take whatever is spoon fed to them without thinking "really, does that make sense?"

For example, North America was covered in ice at one point, and the temperature increased dramatically over the last hundreds of thousands of years. What caused this, and could the same process be responsible for the warming we have seen in the last several decades?

The 5000 year old Iceman found in the Alps attempted to cross the Alps when there was very little snow. We know this because of the clothes that he was wearing when his body was found. So obviously the climate was much different 5000 years ago than today. What caused this change, and could the same process be responsible for the warming we see now?

We know that during the Medieval Warming Period, it was a lot warmer than it is now. What caused this change, and could the same process be responsible for the warming we see now?

I would like these questions answered before I change my opinion. As a man of science, I see too many people flocking like sheep to the answer of CO2 causing climate change. Just like the whole fat-in-the-diet belief, too many people don't really think, they assume that the scientists are right, which is not thinking, in my opinon.
Problem is, lung cancer rates are increasing all around the globe, so that does not answer anything regarding "are the lung cancer rate in Beijing unusual vs the rest of the world?".

But at least that's a start for a proper discussion.

And please do not compare a US rate that includes countryside and cities with a city-based rate in China. That's not a relevant comparison at all. Rates vary wildy state by state in the US :

At work I do multi-language development. One program has a mixture of C, C++ and Lua as a (more or less) static executable (Lua modules written in C and Lua are included in the executable). It was easy enough to add the steps to make to ensure the Lua files were recompiled (into an object file) if they changed. I'm bullish (skeptical) that this will be easy with an all-singing-all-dancing compiler/build/package program.

When there's a close match between a lexical rule and a semantic rule, it's easier to remember how to use the semantics.

Most languages have an arbitrary rule for distinguishing between an identifier (it begins with letter, except for 30 to 80 special cases) and keyword (30 to 80 special cases) which is hard to remember. When the rule is that the first character of an alphanumeric sequence determines whether it references a number (it begins with digit) or identifier (it begins with letter), that's easy to remember. Golang extends that idea by also distinguishing between public (beginning with uppercase) and private variables in this way, but it still falls short on its rule for recognizing the 50-odd keywords and special identifiers.

Languages that have simple lexical-semantic matches enable people to program in it without IDE's or other crud.
I love the channel for the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis.

The middle of the ocean is about the only place you can go if you really want to screw up royally, be totally helpless, and have no one come to your aid (and even there any passing ship is going to try to help you). If you are on land, it pretty much doesn't matter where you are, there is someone who will be pilloried by the media if they fail to come to your aid when you are in a crisis. That's mostly a good thing, but it does mean you are asking someone else to risk their life, whether they want to or not, each time you decide to risk your own.

> I teach my beginning students simple openings like the London System as white

This is not a good idea for a number of reasons. One is a d4 opening will lead to a more closed game, at which the beginner is at a disadvantage, since it requires a deeper understanding of positioning and strategy.

Two is the beginner will learn less if playing closed games initially. A beginner should aim for open games (1. e4) where they will have more opportunity to learn tactics. As they advance, they can move to closed game (1. d4) strategy.

Inevitably, you will play as black and some of your opponents will open with 1. d4. So you will be learning a little about closed games from the beginning even if you're never opening with them yourself.

One thing I did initially was just to usually play the same opening moves. As white, I always played 1. e4. As black, I would see what piece white moved, and then played the same response to that every time. This cut down on the openings I had to learn - at the end of move 1, the board was always in one of twenty positions, as opposed to one of forty positions, or one of sixty positions. Easy alpha-beta pruning.

For example, I never played the Italian Game as white. If white played it, I might play the Rousseau Gambit, which is probably not good against experts, but is good enough against beginners who depend on knowing the traps of the Italian Game. Even if they do 4. d4, you can do 4...fxe4 and then the board is wide open again, even if you're at a slight positional disadvantage.

The increase of risk of lung cancer was NOT significant with PM2.5 ratio. Only with PM10.

They aren't that big. Many FPV aircraft carry GPS units for automated return to base functionality and crash recovery. However, there is a significant number of UAVs that are extremely light and weight sensitive (microquads and ultralight gliders).

> any model aircraft that can't carry the weight of a GPS unit itself is won't pose a threat.

Right. It is quite likely that any requirement to carry transponders will be associated with certain weight limits and/or flight types. UAVs that will operate out of line-of-sight or that will operate autonomously will likely (and should) be required to carry transponders and have additional licensing/registration/insurance.
In defense, you're not recording keystrokes. Simply taking bash history which is already recorded locally and moving it to the cloud.

Well perhaps that is true, but having someone who is dieing because the surgery is failing is a bit different than someone who's dieing because you can't remember some login's passcode.

And of course then these delays compound over time and adversely affect the entire system.

Designing good software which meets government legalese constraints (which are guaranteeedly absurd in certain instances, in wording, and nature (while others will make perfect sense and still be just as hard to implement)) in extremely complex situations (health care systems with millions of users with an outstanding number of providers of different sizes, with different conditions, and medications, and the stringency of the privacy requirements).

That's tough.

It'll be really neat to see the progression of software through time. It'll be neat if what we see today is the Model T to the Tesla (X?) of tomorrow (+~110 Years).

All of the mainstream media I've read on the subject identify the Iraqi camps (Camp Bucca in particular) as the modern origins of ISIS and attribute the camps to facilitating networking and radicalization, without which ISIS would not have been able to spread the way it did. [1] [2] [3] [4] I'm not an expert on the subject, that is just what I've gathered from mainstream sources.

I was able to find a profile on the Islamic State by the Brookings Institute [5] that corroborates the earlier roots:

Although currently centered within Syria and Iraq, IS’s roots lie in Jordan and Afghanistan and date back to at least 1999. However, IS has evolved considerably since then, transforming from a small and loosely structured body with broad international ambitions to a vast organization focused on governing as an Islamic state across nation state boundaries.

Throughout this 15-year period, IS and its various predecessors have undergone a significant process of operational and organizational learning. While a first attempt at Islamic state building in 2006-2008 proved overzealous and alienating, a second attempt from 2013 onwards has proven more sustainable, although concerted international intervention begun in 2014 will pose a serious challenge to its success. Nevertheless, through its impressive advances across large swathes of Iraq and Syria in 2013 and 2014, IS has arguably proven a more successful organization than al-Qaeda.

> All 9 Supremes interpreted it as an individual right

No. There were two dissents, one by Stevens, one by Breyer. From Wikipedia [0]:

The Stevens dissent seems to rest on four main points of disagreement: that the Founders would have made the individual right aspect of the Second Amendment express if that was what was intended; that the "militia" preamble and exact phrase "to keep and bear arms" demands the conclusion that the Second Amendment touches on state militia service only; that many lower courts' later "collective-right" reading of the Miller decision constitutes stare decisis, which may only be overturned at great peril; and that the Court has not considered gun-control laws (e.g., the National Firearms Act) unconstitutional. The dissent concludes, "The Court would have us believe that over 200 years ago, the Framers made a choice to limit the tools available to elected officials wishing to regulate civilian uses of weapons.... I could not possibly conclude that the Framers made such a choice."

Justice Stevens' dissent was joined by Justices David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen Breyer.

Justice Breyer filed a separate dissenting opinion, joined by the same dissenting Justices, which sought to demonstrate that, starting from the premise of an individual-rights view, the District of Columbia's handgun ban and trigger lock requirement would nevertheless be permissible limitations on the right.

You must be thinking of the Breyer dissent. Even that does not stipulate that the right is individual, but just argues that even if it is, the DC law was permissible.

Even people who agree with you on the issue recognize that the Stevens dissent does not support an individual right [1].
