I think it's less that he anticipated fake news, and more that it's always been a problem. Journalism has always been self-serving - after all, it's a business.
I think the game is significantly misunderstood (although fortunately, still appreciated) - IMHO, the developers wanted to make an unsettling game, rather than a scary one, so the typical comparison with Amnesia, which is a pure horror, is somewhat misplaced.
It could land directly, yes, but it makes use of the aerobrake for slow-down. Without that aerobrake it would not have enough fuel to do a powered landing all the way down and then return to orbit (I think -- I don't actually work for SpaceX; I'm just a fan). But it is my understanding that it has enough fuel to do a full propulsive landing from orbit and back again, without an aerobrake.
You get beginner's minds whenever someone who had a lifetime of experience doing A starts trying to do B.
So vastly superior that no mobile OS has been successfully with C++/QT on the market.

Symbian C++ alongside J2ME were vastly more used than C++/Qt ever was.

The adoption of C++/Qt was still being ramped up when the switch to Windows Phone 7 took place. Qt Mobility APIs were still work in progress just as an example.

Actually this angered many Symbian developers as they were still evaluating the transition to C++/Qt SDK when the news came out.
A corporate death sentence is a bit too abstract. It also punishes the shareholders much more than the actual transgressors.

The CEO and the Board of Directors have often been paying themselves exorbitant salaries and benefits. After they resign or get fired they still have generous pensions. So what if the company doesn't exist, they're still personally quite well off.

No, what's really needed is to take the CEO and the Board and send them to prison. Put them in a chain gang. Have them go out to the prison yard every morning, pick axes in hand. Have them start with big boulders. Have them make tiny little pebbles out of them. Have them do this six days a week (Sundays off of course) for about 10 years.

Put the whole thing on "reality TV".

Such public humiliation would have a salutary effect on all the other CEOs and boards out there.

Yeah, some might say "cruel and unusual punishment", but chain gangs were quite popular not too long ago. They passed constitutional muster then.

Also doesn't sound like it will result in "more input from outside scientific bodies", because the budget for that got cut by 84%...

By the way, was that a euphemism for commerce-backed science? Like the science done for cosmetics companies and the tobacco industry?

I think the idea is to penalize car ownership in places where you "shouldn't" need one.

If you're courageous, you could live in downtown Dallas without a car (can move around a bit with DART). Making it harder to own a car (combined with more "dense-city" developments) doesn't seem like the worst idea. Mainly because we could recover the huuuge parking lots.

And when you want to go to Austin for the weekend you can rent a car.

In any case, even if the entire state is still very much "car necessary", you can still try to incentivise pockets of the state to be less so.
I actually really recommend playing it with the mod that makes almost all monsters non-aggressive.

It's great for players who are not into horror games, and I would argue that it makes the game even more unsettling once you realize what the monsters are.
Are the causes of other mass extinctions known? I can imagine comet impacts can be hard to trace over billions of years. Especially when it's not just a single big one, but a period of increased impacts.

Also, I believe the dinosaur extinction was not just a comet impact, but a combination of an impact and a period of increased volcanic activity. Could the volcanic activity be triggered by comets?

I think the jury is still out, but it's an interesting field of study across many different fields (astronomy, biology, geology and probably more), and it has obvious implications for humanity's future on Earth, in space, and the chances of finding other life out there.
I don't think you are using this in the way it was meant to be used. Wikipedia is a user edited, human centered project. Humans are error prone and that's something that you are going to have to live with if you want to re-purpose the data.

The burden of repurposing falls on you and wikipedia makes the exact same data that they have at their disposal available to you, to expect it in a more structured format that is usable by you and your project but that goes beyond what Wikipedia needs in order to function is asking for a bit much I think.

They make the dumps available, they make the parser they use available, what more could you reasonably ask for that does not exceed the intended use case for Wikipedia?

Afaics any work they do that increases the burden on Wikipedia contributors that would make your life easier would be too much.

But since you are already so far along with this and you have your parser, what you could do is to re-release your own intermediary format dumps that would make the lives of other researchers easier.

I don't think anyone's arguing against what you're saying. It's just that you may like someone, and then at some point down the road, you or they change in a way that causes you to stop liking them. It's unfortunate, certainly, but it happens. Sometimes it's reversible, sometimes not.

The stigma against divorce (made worse when driven by religious edict) is often why things turn into the bad state of affairs you describe: spouses treating each other as adversaries, speaking about them negatively behind each other's backs, etc. If you get to the point where you don't like your spouse anymore, just get a divorce. No, that's not a decision that should be made lightly, but unless you have a really good reason to stay in a relationship that makes both parties unhappy, it's crazy to stay together.
If the area is not dense enough, public transport will be difficult to organise. You would need some form of a hybrid between Uber and a bus.

Also, many professions require high levels of mobility.

Finally, unless you introduce some kind of permit system and create serious beaurocracy for enforcing it, people will just pretend to have their own companies and drive "company" cars anyway.

Nature will find a way :)

And I say this while taking 50% of my trips with public transit (the rest with Uber). I seriously hope we get rid of gas cars one way, but banning private ownership would be crazy.

> We like interacting with other people more than we like interacting with machines

I remember a '70s article in which Bank of America, I think, said that they wouldn't be rolling out ATMs like one of their competitors because customers prefer interacting with a warm friendly pretty teller, not a machine.

We know how the ATM vs human teller preference worked out. (I even have to stick the word "human" in there for clarity because "teller" is almost an archaic word.)

> People wouldn't stop going to Starbucks

People go to Starbucks or similar coffeehouses for many reasons. Better coffee than at home, chance to get away from home or the office, solitude (yes, ironically, you can have more privacy or alone time in a Starbucks than at home or office).

I figure that a Starbucks that was completely automated with no employees and little social interaction, but otherwise identical to a normal Starbucks, would still be quite popular.

I don't remember the source but I read about there being several inflection points in terms of team size where communication overhead changes suddenly...IIRC the first one is 8: beyond this you start needing to have 'managers' (their title may be different), i.e. people responsible for organization & team communication rather than directly making the product/sales/etc.

Anecdotally I noticed that even with 5 people you usually have someone starting to act as adhoc part-time manager, and this role quickly become too much for a part time responsibility as the team grows.

> As a contrast it's much harder for most of the population to quit their job and stop associating with their boss and yet the employer-employee relationship is often a lot less toxic.

There's usually _much_ less emotion involved in the employer-employee relationship. In my experience when a significant amount of emotion gets involved, it's more often negative emotion, and then you start hitting problems where you feel trapped in a job with no alternatives.

Many of the worst spousal relationships are ones where one spouse feels trapped and cannot leave for religious, financial, social, etc. reasons.

"significant reductions in diversity at 415, 322, 300, 145 and 33 Myr ago" - it seems that periods between extinctions events are so large that you can easily fit there hundreds and even thousands of civilizations like ours. So not much to worry about, we will have plenty of opportunities to kill ourselves before a comet does us in.

That's an interesting question. My completely unqualified opinion would be no, an comet couldn't trigger the massive and ongoing volcanic activity that a mass extinction requires. I'd like to hear from someone more informed though.

The claim is not that P is true. P is "e does not accept exactly {n_1, ..., n_k}". If it produces a proof, it accepts exactly {n_1, ..., n_k}, which is precisely the opposite of P.

If we limit ourselves to the standard model, this program will never terminate, because it tries to prove a false statement. In a nonstandard model, the program may succeed after a nonstandard "number" of steps to find a nonstandard "proof" of a false statement, after which it terminates by accepting the opposite of what the "proof" says it does.

Anyway, what exactly the program does before it accepts anything is actually irrelevant for point 1, which is only about the number of accepted inputs being finite. For that, you only have to look at the last steps, which only accept for a finite number of runs, even those that can never happen in the standard model.
If your goal is to have an significant impact on climate change, you'd more bang for your buck and just as likely a chance of banning red meat, especially with electric car ownership on the rise.

I've commuted by bike and public transportation for a number of years and I'd never want to ban vehicle ownership. A more workable solution would be to make driving tests less of a joke or to make dense areas of city centers car free zones. American cities are just too large and often times people drive without a destination in mind, like my Sunday drives down the California Public Highway along the beach.

> Why are you not committed to staying married because you love your partner unconditionally and because they are your best friend that you love to spend time with?

This seems awfully naive. I think the point of they NY times article is that this isn't sufficient? I would definitely say this is not sufficient.

You seem to think that 'religion' taints or devalues a marriage. I've often wondered what role spirituality should play in a relationship. I think it's probably grossly undervalued. I suspect there is at least a tiny bit of nihilism at the heart of every (unnecessary) marriage break down, no matter how much love or friendship there may have been. Spirituality is a way, perhaps the most reliable way, to combat this nihilism. For cerebral types, it's too easy to convince yourself that it's all pointless and rationalise packing it in. I'm not talking about 'religion' in the sense of an institutionalised faith, spirituality can mean many different things some of which are compatible with an Atheism. I find that considering the the mysteries of the universe, however briefly, helps my marriage a lot. As does being with someone that is willing to do the same.
> Most failed marriages (well, long-term relationships in general) happen due to boredom and the inventing of excuses to be unhappy, simply because the honeymoon period is over.

I'm actually curious as to whether or not this is true. It's certainly true in some cases, but the absence of the honeymoon period is absolutely necessary to determine if a relationship has long-term potential. We're completely incapable of making a rational determination of that while in the honeymoon phase.

I suspect that many relationships end after the honeymoon phase more because one or both parties realize that, after the hormones have died down a bit, they just don't have enough else in common (beyond their initial emotional attachment) to forge a lasting relationship. And that's ok! It's good to figure that out, especially if you can do so before you've made a long-term commitment.

I absolutely agree that "having two people who are committed to staying married" is certainly a way to staying married, but that's like saying "the key to being ok with keeping your hand on a hot stove is being committed to not caring how much it hurts". It's true because it's something of a tautology, not because it's a good idea. Being committed to staying married when there are better alternatives might keep you married, but at what cost?
It might be interesting if the people who invented the Yugas could have had any awareness of mass extinctions and the structure and behavior of the galaxy. Since they surely didn't, there's obviously no connection at all and it's not interesting - just made up myths.
Restricting license plates is stupid. Instead they should put extra taxes on cars with higher fuel consumption* and probably on bigger cars * * .

* Higher fuel consumption = some categories could be exempt, for example vans used by ONGs, firms and independent contractors.

* * Bigger cars = smaller cars are easier to park, take less space in traffic and make it overall more fluid, etc. I think exemptions could be made here for the categories I mentioned previously and for families with children, for example.

Well, they aren't. I mean we all aren't taking the same exact path. For example:

> technology to reduce CO2 emission, assuming the same level of electricity consumption -- is far from being available. They had talked about Nuclear, sun, geo, nuclear fusion.

Solar and wind power are picking up steam (pun intendend :p).

> incandescent light bulb converts only 5% to light If larger city (NY, Moscow, Bombay etc) switch to better light bulb, 1 million ton of C02 emissions every year, each.

Incadescent light bulbs are largely obsolete. I'm sure they haven't been replaced 100% but they definitely are on their way out.

> simply changing from coal to gas cuts carbon emission by 40%

This is also happening cause gas is very cheap right now.

It may be a bit different than outright stealing. Many Chinese businesses make money in a foreign currency outside of China. Instead of bringing the money in and then finding that they can't re-export it they leave it abroad and use it to buy real estate and pretty much anything else they can get their hands on.

This makes for a fairly large but hidden component of the trade imbalance.

The only other way to get funds > $50K out of China is through getting 'permission' which equates giving the right people a cut, or maybe you'll find your money confiscated.

Source: did some business with the Chinese well in excess of that $50k.

I agree this is misplaced. There are so many things Wikipedia can try to fix now, and so many things they could invest in for the future. Wikidata for example. Lots of these things will fail and appear to be a waste of money of course, but that's called R&D. Growing businesses usually borrow money after all while Wikipedia is firmly in credit.

So long as there's a contingency plan for donations falling, whereby all the nonessential stuff can be dropped if necessary, there's no need to worry.
