I think he's referring to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_(philosophy)

In particular, this Descartes quote
"I should like you to consider that these functions (including passion, memory, and imagination) follow from the mere arrangement of the machine’s organs every bit as naturally as the movements of a clock or other automaton follow from the arrangement of its counter-weights and wheels."
First definition of "dox" that came up for me on google:

> search for and publish private or identifying information about (a particular individual) on the Internet, typically with malicious intent.

Sounds appropriate, doesn't it? If you still disagree, here's a thought experiment: If someone were searching and posting that info about you, or anyone else reading this very thread, wouldn't we call that doxxing?
> It really is a matter of how you look at it, and which timespans you observe.

No it's not. China is producing 2x the CO2 of the US, while the US has an economy 60% larger. China's emissions are still rapidly climbing and are set to continue to do so.

> The current downward trend is just a blip in the general trend across all recorded data since ~1900

So you're predicting that the US is going to dramatically reverse course and begin producing a lot more energy with coal, soon? That's the only way the US CO2 decline trend is going to reverse course and consistently move higher. You must also be predicting that the US is going to entirely skip the inbound electric car change-over. As it looks now, the US is seeing the slow death of coal, with increasing electricity from natural gas and renewables, while simultaneously the US is about to adopt electric cars (like much of the developed world). Would you mind supporting your counter premise with some kind of data?

> US per capita output is still higher than China's.

It should be. US GDP per capita is five to six times that of China. China's CO2 output is 2x that of the US. That means the US is radically more efficient than China when it comes to economic output vs CO2 output.

China's CO2 output has been climbing rapidly the last five and ten years. The US added $4 trillion to its economy while reducing its CO2 output. China is such an immense polluter when it comes to CO2, that within perhaps just 15 years that per capita CO2 imbalance will decline to near zero - with the US still possessing 3x to 4x the GDP per capita of China.
I'm not a scientist. I can only post links and say "let's see, this might have some merit".

The authors (or at least N. Gorkavyi) recently (12th Sep) announced a new paper (literally "it's in print" whatever that means) that as far as I understand tackles the question.

A crude translation of the announcement:

> In the second article, (in print) we show that the reverse process - growth of the black holes by consumption of high-frequency gravitational waves - is the cause of the currently observed increasing acceleration of the expansion of the Universe. We have even got the correct value of the cosmological constant, solving the problem which is about a hundred years old.

Might be the hope that you quoted was about surviving long enough to witness the acceleration to cease increasing.

Claiming that you are right and someone else is wrong because they don't have evidence is posturing. It means the default in your mind is that you are correct and have to be proven false.

There is a pattern because individuals across the country are seeing these things happen first hand. The people in this thread are evidence. Asking for links for every claim is the exact thing the GP was talking about.

> Oh, really? That's too bad, accelerated seems to be a way to get up to speed with Fate in a very short time without knowing anything about the game, shame that that's not so much the case.

You might be able to get by with just FAE and watching enough actual play to get a good grasp on how it works. For me, it felt like the FAE book sorta glossed over a lot of stuff that's more thoroughly explained in the Core book. That's just my experience, though; yours might well be different, of course!

> I browsed through that a bit and it seems to have the exact same text as the guide, so I'm a bit confused. Is it just the guide in HTML format?

Yup! It's exactly the same text, but some people prefer the organization and function to that of a book, so I figured I'd mention it :)

> That's a fantastic suggestion, thank you! I'll definitely check that out.

No problem! Fate—like its ancestor, Fudge—is so flexible and malleable that I've found it better to think of it as a framework/starting-point for creating a game rather than as a game in-and-of itself. Actually, it wasn't until I started thinking of it that way that I really felt like I understood the game. I think that if you take a look through some of those "Worlds of Adventure", you'll see it reflected therein: in tailoring the system to fit the setting, certain parts of the system are removed or restricted nearly as often as new parts are added.

> I've been playing D&D for a while, I just haven't DMed, so I'm not completely new to RPGs. I'll have a look at Dungeon World too, though, as it may fit our group better, thank you.

I wasn't sure how experienced your group is. Even if you decide not to play Dungeon World, I highly recommend reading over the GM chapters (The GM, First Session, Fronts, The World, Monsters, Equipment) and perhaps the appendices of the Dungeon World book (or "SRD" site as I linked before; it's the same text). The vast majority of the "rules", guidelines, and advice written there is generally applicable to GMing any sort of game. I've applied much of that stuff to D&D 5e and even GURPS games, and players have reacted positively. As an added bonus, I now spend far less time preparing for sessions (because I encourage and guide the players' own collaborative creativity so that we're largely creating the world and the plot on-the-fly, together as a group; they have more fun, sessions are railroad-free, and I have more freetime ;) ).

> Good call, I'm going to watch a few to get a feel for how the game is played, thanks again.

That group (modulo the guest player each season) has played a lot of different games, so if you're interested in checking out some new systems, I recommend looking through their videos :)

Your story illustrates why they are focusing on pollution control and developing the Social Credit System.

"..the Social Credit System will focus on four areas: "honesty in government affairs" (政务诚信), "commercial integrity" (商务诚信), "societal integrity" (社会诚信), and "judicial credibility" (司法公信). Media coverage has thus far focused mostly on the rating of individual citizens (which falls under "societal integrity"). However, the Chinese government‘s plans go beyond that and also include plans for credit scores for all businesses operating in China."

Science doesn't need a conception of objective reality or absolute truth to work. Evidence is still evidence even without absolute truth or objective reality. In fact, the scientific method is crucially reliant on the intersubjectivity of scientists, not direct access to a supposed external truth/reality. It's also a fact that this reliance on subjectivity indicates the ways science can fail. Science is not a platonic ideal, it is a human process. Human processes can fail due to human factors. These failures can have horrendous implications for society: atrocities are committed in the name of science.

When Richard Feynman talks about cargo cult science [1], everyone agrees that he has made a deep point about the process by which science is done and is clearly in favor of science. All the same, it is possible to criticize science as a contextual, social construct in order to find the ways it can fail while still being in favor of science. A great deal of postmodern philosophy falls into this camp, but you won't learn that by cherry-picking summaries from wikipedia that say less than you think they say.

Aside below

In mathematics, the fact that there is no absolute truth is merely a technical fact. Tarski's undefinability theorem [2] says that arithmetic truth cannot be defined in arithmetic. This is easy to see: Arithmetic makes use of arbitrarily nested quantifiers. If arithmetic truth were an arithmetic statement, then it would necessarily have some finite number of alternating quantifiers (forall A. exists B. forall C. ...), but the truth of a formula with a greater number of alternations can't be defined by such a truth formula of lesser complexity. Like all results of this sort, they are just an application of the diagonalization argument.

This result is the same for all theories of non-trivial expressivity. There is no way around this, you cannot formalize truth. You can only push the notion of truth out into a meta-level, which again has an unformalizable notion of truth. This is not a deep philosophical failure, it's just a technical aspect of mathematics.

If mathematics cannot pin down absolute truth, what hope does the concept have in far more complicated situations? It's a useful heuristic but when you look at it closely enough, you see its incoherence. I'm glad that there are philosophers out there who critically engage with the social implications of this incoherence.

Not really even close. While two cameras is nice, is definitely not the same as the structured light approach in the Kinect.
Postmodernism is still a useful philosophical concept-the idea of fluidity is important when debating abstract ideas. it's when hard maths and science are literally changed as a result of perceived injustices that society becomes destabilized
The same way any company becomes profitable; they spend less than they earn.

It doesn't seem like the kind of thing you'd have to wonder about. Just like restaurants can be profitable in a low margin industry, it takes incredible awareness of the costs of your business, and the ability to give greater value to your customers than it costs you to produce. Most companies, specifically tech companies, way overspend. Stripe seems not to do that.

Screenhero.com says:

> If you currently use Screenhero, you’ll need to migrate your team to Slack before December 1st, 2017. At that point, the stand-alone Screenhero app will no longer work — but you can enjoy the same features in Slack.

Sounds like they already have their plans set in stone.
This is actually pretty neat, although requires more digging
I use screenhero daily for work and I am incredibly sad to see it go, even though we all knew this day was coming. It hits even harder for me since my company just moved us off of slack due to their lack of hippa compliance and cost issues, so not only is the standalone screenhero gone, I've lost the ability to use it in slack too. Does anyone have a good suggestion for an alternative?
I dont know what kind of HDR you refer to. My point was that for realistc rendering or physically based, whatever you might call it, a linear workflow (light calc in linearized space) is crucial. It is very important for the artist too if you aim at realism. Of course it brings challenged such as exposure correction and managing dyamics. These challenges are not yet fully solved but to say we ought to abandon HDR and go back to SRGB is at least questionable... we might as well go back to mode 13.
Once again, you're confusing a personal religious/spiritual practice with the physical act of abstaining from food. They aren't the same. I never said it wasn't real, I certainly believe you feel it -
If you're looking for a spiritual experience you'll certainly get one. I never said other people won't have similar experiences, in fact, cleansing rituals are a part of most of the world's religions.

It's just that you are not speaking of fasting itself, you are speaking of a spiritual practice that incorporates fasting.

Besides, I have a ton of experience fasting, I fast very frequently, short fasts every week (1 to 2 days), long fasts every once in a while, when I feel like it. I enjoy the physical feeling of fasting. I was merely speaking about the very first time I fasted.

They are actually extremely inefficient since they use a thermocouple. They only convert about 5% of the thermal energy to electricity, the other 95% of the heat must be rejected somewhere.

A steam turbine nuclear reactor is a Rankine cycle heat engine, their efficiency is above 40%.

The reason RTG are used is simplicity and no moving parts, but efficiency greatly suffers. If we could figure out more efficient thermocouple all sorts of opportunities open up, haven't seen much work in this area.

AFAIR, it was acquired by ASUS. Original Kinect was developed by an Israel company Xtion, which now lives as a trademark of ASUS game accessories: https://www.asus.com/3D-Sensor/All-Series/

The core technology (structured light in iPhone X and Kinect 1, ToF in Kinect 2) is rather straightforward (for a computer vision researcher, that is...), it's hardware (embedded CPU, cheap sensors and lasers) that enabled its mass adoption.
>A foreign power from 10.000 miles away, no borders with a country, and no reason to be there, comes there with their army to "protect" the local population?<

Trying to distill the 50 year old motives of a superpower can be a challenge in a thread, but consider it like this; if the intent of the US wasn't to protect the local population, wouldn't they have done more than this?

To address each point of your argument, distance doesn't really matter in the 20th Century, or earlier. Global actions occur, well, globally. To imply that a country can't have interests outside of it's border isn't a strong argument.

You may have a differing opinion, but to me "per capita" is the only fair metric there is, unless you can make a convincing argument Chinese are somehow worth less than Americans.

And "per capita" still places the US solidly at the top of global polluters.

Post-modernism inherently critiques many of the assumptions underlying the practice of traditional science, including the objectivity and reliability of evidence.

For the most part (though extremes that go beyond this can be found) this isn't an attack on science and empiricism as useful techniques, but more a cautionary critique that it is impossible to completely avoid subjectivity and cultural influence, and that that cannot, in the general case, be safely ignored.
