According to this article, the study found those who watch 5 or more hours of TV a day while sitting were 65% more likely to lose mobility in the period tested than those who watch < 2 hours per day, controlling for all other variables. I am skeptical the study was able to control for all other variables. Maybe those who watch 5 or more hours of TV a day are less likely to get activity during the day e.g. from taking the stairs, making dinner, chores, etc. To be frank, these sound like exceptionally lazy humans. They may be less likely to cook for themselves and eat healthy meals, or to take good care of themselves in other ways also. It's hard to control a study like this for all possible complicating factors. What is clear is that if you're sitting and watching TV with all your free time instead of being active, that's probably not healthy, but hey, it's your life.

> - Artemis: Spaceship Bridge Simulator comes to mind; it's a great exploration of cooperative multiplayer design and the possibilities opened up by incomplete information. But it's also clunky and acutely underdeveloped in terms of game modes, balance, and AI. If you want a good game, you'd better dive deep into modding.

Could you elaborate on the sorts of things you'd like to see in terms of game modes, and AI? I ask because I've been working for the past 5 years on an open source linux game that has the same basic premise as Artemis called Space Nerds In Space, so I'm always on the lookout for good ideas for this type of game.
Thanks for your reply.

As I've mentioned before, there's a book from 1926, "Chapters on Machinery and Labor", which outlines the three basic cases of what happens when new technology is introduced. Their examples are the Linotype, the glass-bottle blowing machine, and the stone planer.

The Linotype was a win for printing workers. Typesetting had been bottlenecking the process, and with fast typesetting, book and newspaper prices came down, and the volume of printed material increased enormously. That's the good case.

The glass-bottle blowing machine is the not-so-good case. Bottle-blowing used to take a team of five people trained to work together and manipulate molten glass, blowpipe, and mold with tight coordination. This was a skilled trade and paid well, but bottles were expensive. Automatic bottle-making machines could make bottles rapidly with minimal labor. Bottle sales went up, and the bottle business grew, but the skilled trade was dead. Most of the workers were shoveling sand in one end or taking bottles out the other. This didn't take much skill. Operating the machines was not too hard. You probably needed a maintenance guy who really understood them, but only one for many machines. So most of the skilled jobs went away, replaced by low-paid entry level jobs.

The worst case was the stone planer. Back when brick was the key building material, stone lintels were used over doors and windows to provide structural support for the bricks above. Stone was chipped by hand by big guys with big hammers and big chisels to make flat, rectangular stone beams. The stone planer was a powered machine for squaring off a block of stone. Like a wood planer, but heavier-duty. No more need for big guys with chisels. Huge increase in productivity. But the market didn't grow, because stone lintels were a minor building component and cheaper stone lintels didn't mean more demand for them. So most of the workers lost their jobs.

Those three outcomes still apply to many cases of computerization.

Truly shameless plug for a personal project that does exactly what you suggest by clustering news articles from multiple (reputable) news sites; prioritizes highest quality articles, and shows the headlines. It's really interesting to see headlines on the same story side-by-side and see the bias that comes with it. Helps me stay just a bit more centered and see multiple sides of often complex stories.

Because every couple is different. Marriage is incredibly simple. The actual complexities of marriage don't come from marriage itself but from all the shit left undefined, which has to worked out ad-hoc per couple.

I'm sure if you were the dictator and God-King of a small country, where you could reinvent society as you wish, you might be able to create something that would fit 99% of the population, since you would be able to forcibly squeeze the behavior of each couple into a few standardized containers with corresponding legal rulesets.
Non-refundable deposits are.

If you really do have a model pet that damages nothing, why does the landlord get to keep your deposit anyway?

I can grant, say, compulsory carpet replacement—but even then, what if you live there 10 years and the carpet really ought to be replaced whether you had a pet or not? And do two pets double the cost of replacing the carpet?

(Also I know for a fact scroogier landlords will leave the old carpet in when they really shouldn't—when it's 10 years old, the last tenant's cat peed all over it, and also the last tenant chainsmoked indoors. But they'll still collect a non-refundable pet deposit, and probably bill for cleaning in excess of deposits even when that cleaning did not happen.)

Why is that reasonable risk management and not gouging?
I've felt it on my Samsung Galaxy S4, and on my SO's Samsung Galaxy S3. Both of which are high-quality devices, not some random el cheapo smartphones. Over the course of two-three years they both went from smooth&crisp to annoyingly laggy to (in case of S3) pretty much unusable even for making phone calls.

Now in this story I'm just an alchemist with no experimental controls, but then again, the experience is not isolated. I'm not saying it's purposeful software slowdowns - maybe it's general bloat + flash memory wearing out? I don't know. But seeing as others report similar cases too, something is going on.
> A raspberry pi is only $35, but that is more than 1/3rd of their weekly income. It still isn't a useful computer though, you need quite a few more accessories that are not common in poor homes.

That is incredibly cheap. When my dad bought our first home computer it was 3 or 4 times his weekly income.

The bigger question is how much of their $90 is discretionary? If they have $5 a week spare then a raspberry pi is affordable.

I think you are targeting an argument that doesn't really exist (though I could be wrong).

In my eyes, the heart of this argument is to avoid the whole idea of "me vs. you". This falls in line with the last part of your argument, but I think it's worth driving home. Learning to approach arguments with the mindset of "even if I'm right, the best outcome is that we both come out of this altercation with a mutual understanding", is much more important than "winning" an argument, and I don't believe that concept can be misconstrued.

As a simple example - maybe you're a woman with an attractive male friend. She knows that her intentions are pure, so why is it a big deal if you go out with him after work? Totally valid.

However, it's important to approach the conversation with an aspect of I understand how this could make my partner uncomfortable, so how do I communicate that understanding and alleviate any doubt instead of thinking well, if my partner just trusted me, then this wouldn't be a problem.

To that end, it's also important to identify these concerns early on so they aren't given the opportunity to fester as insecurities in the opposite party.
Evidence is hard to untangle from other social factors. It is relatively safe to say that people have in the past not been sheltered from rough language and did just fine in most every culture. Sheltering children started about Victorian times I suppose, later than children got removed from dreary factory work in the generalized Western culture. (And incidentally later all kinds of work.)

So no, the onus of evidence is on people claiming that rough language hurts children in some way. (Note we're not talking about abusive language here.)
It would be more useful to publish anonymized datasets, if they got any useful data.

Interesting. A few remarks:

* The "What they both should probably read" section should be motivated. For example, what makes WSJ or BBC better? They are both known to occasionally publish dreadful articles.

Democracy is messy, slow and complicated because it's build upon compromises between different factions. A lot of things in the west are more of a mess than they are in Russia, but there is a reason immigration streams one way.
It's ok to say "it doesn't appear to" but the onus of evidence is always on someone making a positive claim. It's safe to say that children have historically not been sheltered from many things that are today definitively known to cause harm, so the appeal to the past is not a strong one here.
If you're big enough, it'd still be profitable even with the other manufacturers free-riding on it.

Is it specifically hypothalamus or just generalized, as shown in most every study ever in obese people?

My bad science meter just lit up. They should be more careful to disentangle causality.

That said, it is a useful data point to show how the vicious circle happens. (Advanced glycation products, also explains how people tend to get more obese as they get older, those things are cumulative damage.)

The other problem is that rats are inherently more vulnerable to AGE than humans (see ALT-711 story). So this might not really mean anything relevant.

> Why are the poor getting pets? Why do you think it's a right?

Wow, there's a way to get an Englishman's hackles up! Nation of dog-lovers...

Generally, we'd like society to be reasonably inclusive regardless of means. So that even if someone is poor, they don't merely subsist, but can engage in some of the fulfilling parts of life, including having a pet (which along the way if you'd particularly like some Victorian moralism to justify why the poor deserve such things, also engages people with all sorts of virtues like responsibility, companionship, empathy,...)

This is fascinating! I love the duality presented side by side, how they react in a completely different manner to the same topic. It's also a bit sad, because it reminds me of the pressure to colour news with more opinions, take stances, etc - very rarely will you see the style of dry, "just the facts" reporting.

It appears they build the feeds based on a simple keyword filter - for example, under "guns" and "liberal outlets" we have a post about a guns and roses concert... :)

I think two things need to be mentioned :

1. ZFS is officially supported by Canonical on Ubuntu as part of their support plans.
2. Docker over raw containers or zones.
Objective-C has the message-passing approach to object-oriented programming; all dispatch was at run-time, and an object could delegate any unrecognized messages or decide for itself how to respond to them.

I suppose it's not "modern" anymore though - and it doesn't look like swift kept this paradigm.
My own iPhone 7 is plenty fast, but I have noticed that the older models seem to be getting slower.

Presumably this is because Apple keeps adding features and animations and so on, and so iOS grows bigger and more resource-hungry, as are apps, and developers aren't optimizing by running their stuff on old iPhone 5 models anymore.

There is precedent. When the Spanish extracted all that gold and silver from South America and shipped it back to Spain, all they got was inflation.

The importance of human intelligence to a functioning economy is overrated.

Humans are social animals; we are each interested in ourselves, and interested in each other. It was true before we developed intelligence and it remains true today. We want to be healthy, socially connected, and entertained; we can never get enough of those. And they can't be automated--a robot can't be healthy for you, or feel emotions for you.

There is no reason to doubt that an economy that is 30% health care, 30% social communications, 30% entertainment, and 10% everything else, can work. Or even an economy that is 99% entertainment, and 1% everything else. Comparing today to even just 200 years ago, we're already well on our way.

> My dogs are as important to me as my friends and family. The first criteria my girlfriend and I apply to where we eat, drink, and travel is whether our dogs can enjoy it with us.

Eek, the article lost me here. Much as I have a very dear dog that is "part of the family", I do tend to think it's important for people to remember that no your dog is not as important as your family. It is a dog, not a four-legged human. Time in the back yard while you're out is just fine, and it would probably enjoy occasional trips to a dog-of-leash area to chase other dogs much more than "enjoying a restaurant"...

> As machines get more capable, the economic role of humans diminish.

Empirical data shows the opposite. Machines have been getting more capable for at least 100 years, and job creation has soared. Even if you just look at a snapshot of data from today, the societies with the most capable machines are also the societies with the best standards of living and lowest unemployment rates.
If I have a serious wreck in my car, I win the insurance bet—that is, it may well pay out more than I've paid in. Even crappy health insurance policies have cases where they do the same.

Not so with pet deposits in any lease I've seen. They take your money, which is usually non-refundable, and will still charge you for any cleaning and repair not covered by the deposits you paid.

Perhaps it's insurance from the landlord's perspective, but it's an added cost the tenant bears that offers them no financial protection at all.
Ok I've been poor, so I guess that "qualifies" me to comment: the OP is right, if you're struggling for cash in an expensive city then it's not wise to live by yourself.

The argument of "oh but something bad might happen" doesn't hold water - if you're struggling to feed yourself and have no money, then something very bad is ALREADY happening.

Are there any ML-as-a-service platforms that offers something comparable to what Uber has here? And importantly, do you actually like using them?

That is, suppose I'm willing to do the following:

* Send said service a firehose of data

* Write code for feature selection, data cleanup, transformations, etc. -- i.e. the sort of code you'd expect to find in a data scientist's Jupyter notebook.

* Specify the type of ML model and parameters I'd like to experiment with.

Is there a service that handles data warehousing, serving up predictions via a REST API, deployment of new models, reporting model performance over time, and general scaling issues? I know it's possible to set up a large portion of this using AWS services, but ideally, it'd be nice to have something with a Heroku-like ease-of-use, but for ML.
This isn't really what you're looking for, but SMB is supported on all major desktop platforms. It's also supported on all major mobile platforms through third-party apps.
