True, but that is also exactly the point of what he was saying, so there is something poetic about how bland it was.
The essay itself is general and surprising, and the combination never loses its effectiveness.

Ideas keep evolving. There was nothing new about the idea of a search engine when Google came into existence in 1998.

In 1945, Dr. Vannevar Bush wrote an article titled As We May Think:

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1945/07/as-we-m...

> he urges that men of science should then turn to the massive task of making more accessible our bewildering store of knowledge.

In the 1960’s, Gerard Salton created and developed Salton’s Magic Automatic Retriever of Text (SMART). He also authored a book called A Theory of Indexing detailing his initial tests that search is largely based off of relevancy algorithms. Here’s a very interesting blog post titled Search Down Memory Lane by Tom Evslin who worked with Salton during this project:

http://blog.tomevslin.com/2006/01/search_down_mem.html

Fast forward to 1990, a man named Alan Emtage created the first search engine known as Archie which retrieved a database files by matching user queries using regexes. Following the growth of Archie’s popularity, two similar search engines Veronica and Jughead were created and they started indexing plain text files.

In 1993, the first bot called World Wide Web Wanderer was created and then it was upgraded to capture active URLs and store them in a database. Then came ALIWEB (Archie-Like Indexing of the Web), which crawled meta information of pages.

There’re others including WebCrawler (1994), Lycos(1994), AltaVista(1995), Excite(1995), Yahoo(1995), Dogpile(1996), Ask Jeeves(1996).

This is just my superficial understanding of how the idea of search engines was born and has evolved over time. They were very different from Google, but they’ve similarities to how data is processed and analyzed today.

The Myth of the Objective
I think the key to understanding this article is this:

> But Mitch, isn’t this wrong? No.

Let's suppose the hacker really did feel no remorse for stealing 153k Ether then it seems they might not feel it necessary to keep their identity hidden. They might also feel proud enough that they feel it is worth the risk to publicly disclose their actions. Given that, it seems that perhaps some of what the author wrote might actually be true.

Despite that it seems that there is more than enough information here to identify them. There is only one country that celebrates Bastille day, they are apparently interested in men so either a gay/bi male or a straight female, they work for a security research company, they have excellent command of English, they are in their early 20s, they apparently have a fast and loose attitude. It seems those criteria would narrow down to only a handful of people.
You'd have to question the existence of a lot of Greek philosophers by that standard.
I was at $155k as a W2 software engineer at my last company...that seemed to be a ceiling for engineers in Los Angeles. I had to become a director of engineering to get to $175k.

No offense, but it's hard to take anything you write seriously when you keep on misspelling atheist like that. Makes it look like you are either trying to apply some kind of meme/trolling or you might merely really need better auto-correction on your browser.

Yes, but in the past, it was often difficult for people to get information or support outside their respective communities. Internet (and other media before that, to a smaller extent) changed all that.

I distinctly remember Laci Green's Youtube channel when she was 17 or so, and a closet atheist from a Mormon community. She talked exactly about this and how Internet let her to get to information that she otherwise wouldn't get to. There are many cases like that.
This does ring true, but I can't think of any reliable sources backing that up. I'd appreciate it if you mentioned some.
This dictator has pretty high popular support.

The military which had a critical role in preventing exactly this from happening was gutted.

I like Erdogan as little as you do, but he is not a dictator; he has been democratically elected and enjoys a lot of support from most of the Turkish population.

I'm not sure you're understanding that the author isn't complaining that Google is deleting content based on a free speech issue but the fact that they're misunderstanding it as terrorist propaganda when it's simply evidence from a court case of her research into whether it was a fair trial or not... The author is not complaining about free speech, she's complaining about Google's overly-broad definition of propaganda which is leading to the deletion of her account. It doesn't apply here because the author is not promoting propaganda, she is simply presenting evidence of research in a potentially unfair court case.
This seems like a case of using an easily available proxy end point and cheerfully ignoring broader social issues. We are in the middle of an obesity crisis and should be looking at the issue of "Fat People Hate" through the lens of morbidity and mortality.

The typical post on Fat People Hate consists of a picture of a morbidly obese person overflowing the seat of their mobility scouter. The comments echo each other as the commenters say how disgusting the sight is.

One topic for empirical investigation is whether the person in the photograph responds to the shaming by losing weight, or perhaps even gaining more. But typically the person involved is unaware of the existence of Reddit. There is a break in the causal chain and nothing to investigate.

Another topic for empirical investigation is whether the (presumably) slim participants in the Fat People Hate sub-reddit maintain a healthy weight. One conjecture is that participants are exposed to extreme images of morbid obesity and become complacent about maintaining a healthy weight. They go on to become overweight and a proportion get fatter still and suffer serious health consequences.

An alternative conjecture is that some of the participants feel social pressures in their daily lives to clean their plate, eat up, and not be a broccoli munching spoil sport. Fat People Hate gives them an opportunity to construct and maintain an identity as some-one who doesn't get sucked in by their local social pressure to over eat. They unexpectedly maintain a healthy weight, contrary to predictions based on their place in society.

We can articulate an ideal for research in this area. It involves tracking down the participants in FPH and discovering records of their body weights. The important questions are: While they participated in FPH, did they buck national trends towards obesity? After FPH was banned, did they gain weight?

We are actually interested in counting diagnoses of type 2 diabetes and toes amputated as a consequence of diabetic neuropathy. When we ask about the effectiveness of the ban on FPH we are actually asking about weight gained and lives lost. But when research question 1a asks: How were their activity levels affected? they are not talking about walking or jogging. They are talking about speaking.
You are confused.

1) Sam Harris / Richard Dawkins are not promoting any of these Bad Qualities (xenophobia, racism, sexism, etc.). You seem to concede that because you now talk about "lots of younger atheists" that "form communities to actively practice and promote" these Bad Qualities. Probably some exist but I haven't seen any of consequence. In any case, they are not SH/RD so your entire opening statement is therefore baseless.

2) The main argument of SH/RD is NOT that only religious people or groups promote Bad Qualities. The main argument is that religious faith is a set of made-up doctrines and "truths" that can lead to a whole variety of behaviors depending on the specific set of "truths" and doctrines. Some of those are good, many of those are bad (see Bad Qualities). The Bad Qualities arise because the faith is made-up and therefore will unavoidably have components incompatible with the real world.

3) The good parts of religion can all, each and every one, be achieved without religious faith. Sam Harris especially has been advocating this. You can have "spirituality" and meditation without all the bullcrap of gods.

Overdosing on fear and becoming numb to it is a feature, not a bug. It's a specific propaganda technique used by Vladimir Putin to create so much chaos and churn that people don't know what is true, and begin to tune out or just become cynical and blame "all sides" for the problem (you did it in your post, there is a sort of social pressure right now to create equivalence on these things).

It's a perfect technique in the age of too much information. Authoritarian regimes of the 20th century were about restricting information - those of the 21st are about creating so much noise that finding truth begins to feel meaningless.

I have a theory that, in Britain at least, the distribution of religious fervour is pretty much the same as it was 100 years ago. The difference is that the more moderate people now no longer go to church, meaning the churches are controlled by, and put out more fundamentalist viewpoints. This in turn drives more moderates away.

I am one of the moderates, I grew up part of a church congregation, but as I grew up I found almost everyone I met who identified as Christian to have beliefs wildly different from mine. Any Christian gatherings I attended tended towards fundamentalism and the quashing of inquisitive thought about the nature of the World, God etc. I do not believe in God, but I suspect that many churchgoers of 100 years ago didn't really either, and the focus was much more on tradition, ritual and community rather than actual belief. I mourn the loss of this, even though I barely knew it myself, but there are hardly any congregations left for people like me (and yes, I know about movements such as Sunday Assembly, which I have tried out but find equally unpalatable for reasons I can't quite put into words).
Sure, but there were always places people gravitated to when they wanted to get the hell out of the Bible belt. They had to wait until they were old enough and ready enough to pack up and move, though.

3 of the Best Benefits of Working with Micro-Influencers
I think you are confusing "arbitrary long" with "infinite".

The leading/trailing zeros are confusing. So many digits are confusing. Let's pick an easy model: The "naïve roman numbers" (This is a made up name, not a technical name.)

Let's consider the set that has

I

II

III

IIII

IIIII

IIIIII

...

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

...

...

i.e. all the strings that have a bunch of "I" characters.

Each element has a finite amount of "I". If you delete one of them you get a shorter string/number.

The set has strings that are as long as you want. If you print them in a 8pt times new roman font, you can pick one of them that will be long enough to wrap around the Earth, one of the is long enough to reach the Moon, ...

This is an infinite set, where each element has a finite amount of "I".

"Maybe the solution is enabling people to realistically host content themselves."

I used to blog about politics, policy (election integrity). Even scored some minor policy victories.

Like with indie bands, the challenge is having access to an audience, rising about the noise, finding your tribe (and them finding you). Posting on someone else's site sucks. Groveling, genuflecting to get some consideration (front page!). No different than the gatekeeping role newspapers played.

I strongly support going the solo route. But it's a lot of work. Maybe even 80%. And I sucked at it. And the self-promotion efforts takes time away from all the other activities (research, FOIA requests, writing, speaking, lobbying).

Saving democracy doesn't pay very well. I marvel, applaud the indie bands, err, solo bloggers that somehow keep it up for years, decades.
Charting the Future of Academic Publishing in the Digital Age
You've got to market your product if you want people to know about it. Assuming you're a hacker/maker, just building a product and hoping people will magically find it isn't a real strategy.
I grew up in a farming family, and I run a hobby sheep farm.

Supplementing your food supply with a family garden isn't that difficult. Completely supplying yourself and your family with enough calories to live via farming is enormously difficult, both in terms of physical labor and in terms of skillset. It also takes at least 45 days, from a standing start, to get anything edible, and that's if you are willing to suvive completely on turnips (which have the shortest yield period of any domesticated vegetable crop). Corn, beans, and potatoes, which are going to be the crops that provide the bulk of your calories in a survival situation, require roughly 100 days to yield, and they only grow during the right season.

Furthermore, without either industrial fertilizer or an established farming system that includes animals, you will only grow those crops once before your land begins to be depleted and your yields in subsequent years will drop until they are no longer survivable in approximately year three. You are growing the animals as much or more for manure as for meat.

And none of that includes the vagaries of the weather and various plant diseases that can decimate your crop.

Basically, if you don't have access to fresh water, you're doomed immediately. If you don't have at least a 12 month supply of food in your basement, you're doomed in two to three months. If you haven't already implemented a closed nitrogen system using composting and animal agriculture, but happen to have land, seeds and a hoe, you're doomed in two to three years. If you have done all of those things you can probably survive for a decade ot three, if you can outlast the looters.

For reference, the pioneers who cleared the forests in the midwest would go in on year one and girdle all of the trees. Then they'd go back home. In year two, they'd plant turnips and pumpkins, which would grow among the dead trees, and they'd survive on those for the first couple of years as the stumps rotted. It took several years to establish a sustainable farm. The pioneers who went eg to Utah, where there were no forests, would plant immediately, but the first crop was just seed potatoes, which they would harvest and store - they couldn't carry enough to eat, and were essentially bootstrapping a potato crop from what they could carry. They carried enough food to survive through a complete growing season, augmented by hunting and foraging. It was a hard life, they were living hand to mouth, and they already knew what they were doing.

Christians, Muslims and Jews believe in the same God, its the historical details they differ in. Buddhism is more a moral and spiritual framework than a religion (a lot of Buddhists are also Hindus).

Ultimately, all that science can tell us on this matter is that it is possible that God does not exist, and it is also possible that God does exist. The matter is outside the scope of science, but atheism (as opposed to agnosticism) is just as (if not more) arbitrary a belief as any mainstream religion.

The kind of content required by researchers, documenting current events, relooking at historical events with current information is always going be hugely controversial according to different POVs.

This kind of content will require its own network not reliant or subject to the whims of business interests or the rules of any single nation. Infact it's essential this content is not located on platforms offered by increasingly compromised and arbitrary SV companies prone to lip service to free speech when convenient.

There is enough funding in the world to create this than rely on companies like Google and the content should simply move from youtube.
> HDR processing is just a post-processing gimmick

Can you explain how it's a gimmick?

If you are confusing HDR for the process of taking an existing Rec. 709 signal and gamut mapping into a subset of Rec. 2020, I agree that is a bit gimmicky.

This (ab)use of the technology has nothing to do with the HDR standards however, what true HDR video is, nor what material mastered for HDR is or is capable of, and shouldn't define how you see the technology (or present it to others).
