> We've had a period of cooling that none of their models have predicted

I'm not sure what you're referring to. I did a search for some citations, and I found this:

"The observed slow-down in the global-mean surface temperature (GST) warming from 1998 to 2012 has been called a “warming hiatus.” Certain climate models, operating under experiments which simulate warming by increasing radiative forcing, have been shown to reproduce periods which resemble the observed hiatus."

- https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijas/2016/9657659/

So, that's describing a slowing down of the warming... which is still not cooling, it's just warming slower. And it was predicted by many models.

Furthermore, a climate model doesn't need to reproduce every bump and dip to be credible. It just has to give a range within future predictions can be judged. And there are lots of models that have predicted events which were later observed and point at multiple degrees of warming in the future.

If you can point to a specific observation, I'd be very curious to look at the models, though, and see if you're correct that the observation is outside the predicted range of the model.

As for skeptics, I think skepticism is great. I'm skeptical of you. This web site is skeptical of you and it's called skeptical science: https://www.skepticalscience.com/climate-models.htm Science is, for the most part, incredibly skeptical of past models. That's how we've gotten such good models.

While you may be right about the CCP's motives, China has its own long history of political thought, including the correct role of the State and public dissent. Guess what? For the vast majority of Chinese history, rulers viewed public dissent as tantamount to open rebellion and reacted accordingly.

Political systems are in part products of their culture. Free speech is not part of the cultural or political history of China, as it is in the West.
Youtube is horrible more so than ever before. The recommended videos is completely broken, it keeps recommending the same videos, and half of them are not relevant to what I'm watching. It's been like this for years.

If I watch a single video from any kind of niche genre, suddenly half the recommended videos for every video are from that genre. I watched one of those helmet cam videos from a cyclist today, now youtube seems to think I'm infatuated with them. It has become slower and more bloated every time they redesign it as well.
Studies have shown that regardless of whether or not people start as religious or not, they hold irrational beliefs at same rate as other people with their level of education.

The real interesting thing is that the irrational things that non-religious people believe in tend to satisfy the same psychological needs as religious beliefs. The Illuminati secretly ruling the world provides the comfort to people with an external locus of control that someone is in charge and they have a plan, just like God (or the Devil or whoever). The fact that most people are sheep who can't see the Illuminati's schemes but a few special people can reinforces the idea that some of us are special people, just like how the Israelites were chosen. Etc.

I find that to be an awkward form of argument because any category that is sufficiently taboo is going to split the audience into two camps-- a small group who empathize with the practitioners and a larger group who don't. (Otherwise it wouldn't be a taboo.)

The problem at hand is that Google and others are scooping up everyone's data. A change in the way these companies decide to use that data can have an effect on everyone's lives, but without anything like a Congressional Budget Office or public debate to gauge whether the benefits of those changes outweigh the costs for the people who are affected.

>Or the idolization of entrepreneurs and the ultra-rich?

As a non American I've noticed something similar at least in US media there tends to be a lot of respect given to people who are wealthy or in positions of power you see it a lot in movies and television Generals, senators, congressman etc are almost universally depicted as praiseworthy figures.

When I was a kid in all of the American music videos the performers tended to drape themselves in gold jewelry, drink champagne, ride around in luxury cars etc. Sometimes it seemed over the top to the point of parody but at some level I think it reflects an aspiration towards wealth.

Here in Australia there is much more of a tendency to mock and ridicule the wealthy and powerful. There is even a word for it "Tall Poppy Syndrome" i.e. The flower that grows to be the tallest gets cut down the soonest. I think part of it is cultural the whole ANZAC myth thing - people tend to be distrustful of anyone in a position of power here politicians, bosses, bankers, lawyers etc.

I live and work in Utah, which, for not completely clear to me reasons, is home to a lot of MLMs. Nu Skin, Usana, Xango, doTerra, Young Living, Jamberry (and those are the ones I can just name off the top of my head) are all headquartered here.

For an area that in many ways is punching above its weight class in terms of tech companies, I occasionally have nagging (possibly unfounded?) concerns in the back of my head that one day a lot of these companies will be a hindrance on the continued growth here. I know some people already view Utah mostly as the home of MLMs and I don't know if that does much for attracting forward looking tech investment. That said, these companies have brought a ton of jobs and has certainly helped fund the growth in the area and I have worked with and met a lot of people who seem pretty decent.

While many of these companies aren't "evil", I think the MLM is probably one of the most insidious dark design patterns around. I think the best way of how these companies primarily operate is like the Cassette/CD clubs of a few years past. A small fee gets you a decent amount of "up front value" (Join the club for $30 and get 30% off your first order!) with the expectation that you won't order anything else or forget to cancel the yearly membership fee. This is, of course, all made worse by the fact that is often friends and family who are peddling the high margin health and dietary products with questionable efficacy. Like I said, I don't know if I can call it an outright scam (I know a few people who really like there shakes and supplements and swear by them), but it does drive strange incentives...

That's true. I lived in China for a few years and was surprised to find out that most people seemed relatively (if not very) happy with the CCP. Ignorance plays a role but it's mainly that they value economic growth (and therefore, political stability) over anything else. Free speech would be nice but when you go from near starvation to owning a house and a car, you learn what economic growth does and start to value it.

So by that logic, Chinese companies should push Chinese values on the rest of the world. Are you okay with that? And if not, what makes Western values special? Absent an independent moral authority (i.e. God of some sort), there's no way to say that Western values even should be spread. Absent an independent moral authority, pushing your values on everyone else is exactly what the Chinese government is doing.

The trans bathroom laws are a good example. What makes your position "right"? The other position happens to go against some of your core values (presumably), but that doesn't make it "wrong." Maybe your core values are "wrong" or at least incomplete.

There's a lot of people that are trying to push their values on people under the guise of "it's right." Ironically, these people will say they want people to have the freedom to live the way they want. Trans bathrooms, homosexual marriage: well, maybe I don't want to live in a world where I have to put up with that. Too bad, I don't get a choice, because "it's right."

You'd better have concrete direction from the independent moral authority (i.e. God) if you're going to push your values on other people, because otherwise it's just intolerant. "I feel strongly about this" != "it's right"

Vitess deserves more love here on HN. It's incredible the way it gives you the best of both worlds (RDBMS and NoSQL). Most operations end up in a single shard, so you have no performance impact and still have the benefit of built in MySQL joins and relational integrity. It is built to be container-native, so the recommended usage is to split into 100-300 GB chunks, which simultaneously makes schema changes take 1/(n shards) of the time for a normal ALTER TABLE.

That's a very good point. The paper suggests that "severity may be a key variable for subgrouping ME/CFS." So it's possible that there are three different ME/CFS diseases that can be distinguished by cytokine levels. Hopefully once these are separated, statistical analysis will succeed and medical progress would follow.

In the bigger picture, you have to wonder how many things that we currently categorize as one disease are really many different diseases. (Like how in the 1800s, people would die of "a fever" but we now know there are many different diseases causing fevers.) It's kind of a cliche now that cancer is not a single disease. I expect conditions such as autism and schizophrenia will fragment once the right tests are available. What else?

I'm lucky my dad uses a different password for his gmail account than his linkedin login (using said gmail address). He was stuck for a while complaining that he couldn't log in. Turned out he was already logged in, and LinkedIn was just presenting him with a "put your gmail password in here so we can raid your contacts" box. It looks just like the login page, so he kept putting in his LinkedIn (not gmail) password and it kept saying "your password is incorrect."

What a shitty thing to do.
This is called culturalism. Saying X is not for race Y is racism. Saying that X is not for culture Y is culturalism. There is really not that much difference here. Because I am Chinese/Saudi/Russian etc. in no way implies that I, or my culture, does not value such a basic right as free speech

Is this a news piece or an opinion piece? The article is terrible. Apple has two choices: comply with the laws of China when operating in China or not operate in China. They can refuse to comply on principle, get kicked out of China, and get sued by their shareholders for breach of fiduciary duty. They can use all available means (none) to fight it. Or they can obey the laws of the country they are operating in.

I bet the author would take a dim view of a Chinese company refusing to obey an American law in America.

Indeed when I said defending I didn't mean they were saying Google is right but rather moving the discussion away from having bad PR for Google, which is like defending the name of the company (even if it's justified). I admit that my vocabulary is rather limited so perhaps that is not the right word to use but hopefully you get my point.

>Free speech is not part of the cultural or political history of China

And that has absolutely no impact on whether or not free speech is a fundamental human right. There's many examples of cultures with abhorrent traditions. It doesn't make them just and that's why many of those cultures reject those traditions today.

I don't think this logic holds. Apple and Amazon both spend millions every year on lobbying. I don't think their attempt at influencing policy has to do with championing a particular political ideology.

These companies don't follow required business practices out of a political sensitivity or an underlying respect for sovereignty, they do so because it is financially expedient and they demonstrate an eager willingness to modify those legislated business practices when presented a route to do so.

The majority of people who end up being distributors absorb a net loss, and given that many already come from financially unstable backgrounds, that loss is particularly painful.
The largest sellers in the chain either got in super early, or make more money off of ancillary products (seminars, etc.) than actual sales.

That sounds shady as hell as best, downright predatory at worst, and all of the "Yeah, it might be bad, but so is X" arguments in the world don't absolve it.
