> It like we can't understand complex systems very well.

I'd reckon the geniuses in the labs do understand complex systems very well, only problem is that these chemists, engineers, etc who do bring concerns their concerns to the table tend to get shut down in favor of getting a product to market so that the company can continue to reap profits no matter what the environmental impact.
>In other words, our visceral, emotional views of Thems are shaped by subterranean forces we’d never suspect. And then our cognitions sprint to catch up with our affective selves, generating the minute factoid or plausible fabrication that explains why we hate Them. It’s a kind of confirmation bias: remembering supportive better than opposing evidence; testing things in ways that can support but not negate your hypothesis; skeptically probing outcomes you don’t like more than ones you do.

So this is the challenge, then, probably no different than most "human condition" type challenges - to what extent do we let our subconscious thoughts drive out conscious ones?

Without consideration, we are slaves to our unconscious thoughts and instincts. As philosophers and religious leaders have demonstrated for millennia, however, we can wrestle our quick shot subconscious into relative submissions with enough application of conscious thought. Say, mindfulness, meditation, consideration.

So the article alleges that as a white male my amygdala is gonna fire off an aggression response when I see a black male, microseconds before my conscious brain can grab the wheel and apply my hard-fought-for values (non racist ones). Is this just how it's gonna be for me, or can I subvert even that initial, lizard brain initial response to be in line with my value that all humans are equal?

Most DAB stations are MP2, not MP3. MP3 is not supported in DAB. AAC is supported in DAB+, though you need to upgrade your radio again.

MP2 is transparent once you get to 256kbit, so the actual codec isn't really the problem, it's the bitrate choice. I don't have any experience of EU DAB, but in the UK, most DAB stations are 128K, which isn't even close to being transparent. The audio quality on FM is considerably better.

> What if it was an official marathon where they run with very strong winds at their back.

The courses need to follow certain rules to mitigate the effect of tailwinds, slopes and things like that. That's why Boston isn't eligible for world records.

Here's the rule: "The start and finish points of a course, measured along a theoretical straight line between them, shall not be further apart than 50% of the race distance." (http://www.aims-worldrunning.org/world-records.html)

That's interesting but I haven't heard any of these compelling cases. All I see is fear mongering from the NRA.

I'd argue that there isn't a good argument against gun control. The 2nd amendment gives US citizens the right to bear arms but pretty much any sane person will agree that there should be control over some arms. You aren't allowed to build a nuke or make sarin gas in your back yard. If everyone agrees that control over some weapons is a good idea then why would guns specifically be exempt from regulation?

Here are a few questions I'd like to see answered by someone who is against gun control:
Should we allow the sale of devices that modify guns to fire at a rate of 100s of rounds a minute? Should we allow the sale of guns to people with a history of violent crime? Are there mental illnesses that should prevent someone from owning a gun? Should we require a cooling down period between when a person decides to buy a gun and when the actual purchase goes through? Are there any places we should not allow people to go while armed with a gun?

It's not ideology getting in the way, it's pure corruption. If the Republicans truly believed in free market competition, they would seek to end the agreements between ISPs and local governments that create monopolies. They would put a stop to the ISP's usage of the legal system to hamper competition (Google and Nashville, for example). They would find ways to use federal money to incentivize people to create new ISPs, increasing competition.

As it stands, though, the Republicans are doing none of that. Their only goal has been to undo Title II and then do nothing about the state of broadband access in the United States.

Also:

> Why is Title II so important?

Because right now, it's the only tool we have to enforce NN. I'd love to have more ISP choices and not have to rely on the government to ensure fair play, but money, politics, and business are a hell of a drug for people.

It is the other way around; running back from Marathon to Athens.

The story takes place after Athenian Hoplites pushes back a Persian army into their ships at the Marathon shores, after which this ship sails to Athens to wreak havoc. Hoplites make the run from Marathon to Athens just in time to defend against Persians and successfully discourage them against further attacks.

After the Battle of Marathon, hoplites who were in the war referred it to as "the run", "we ran", or had "he ran" carved in their tombstones etc. So Marathon became synonymous with running.
This is, rather intentionally or not, right now a classic "Pyramid Scheme" that must, as they all do, implode.

What's truly sad is all the "little guys" who are going to lose on this. I really couldn't care any less about the "Winklevoss Twins" losing out, but I have friends who buying into this at $200-$1000+ a pop right now and they don't have a clue about what they're actually purchasing and they're paying high fees to purchase it.

I've tried to tell them about "Pyramid Schemes" and it's a deja vu experience for me because just like back in the early `80s when all my friends were pestering the hell out of me to "join my pyramid" they refuse to listen to the fact that there is nothing but hot air holding this up.

This is not a critique about blockchain technology. It's a realization of witnessing "irrational exuberance" once again.
Radiation treatment for ventricular tachycardia
Forced anonymity perhaps? Suppose you're a Striper and I'm a Dotter (from the deadly enemy Stripe and Dot tribes), but we both like to play guitar. Well if you show up on my guitar forum I'll be 'who let that filthy Striper in here?!' and will interpret even innocent participation as attempts to stripe up the place, regardless of whether I have been trying to take it over for the Dots or not.

But if we're just Guitarfan_1172 and Guitarfan_3654 then we can chat about guitars and build bonds that transcend the decor war, as long as neither of us goes off topic and starts discussing patterns. Of course the problem is that the positivity is latent and confined to the interior of the guitar forum, unless we meet in battle and then become aware of our mutual guitar friendship which will cause us to re-evaluate our whole worldview.

Think of it as a poker-like game where you have public and private cards. Your public dot or stripe cards are your loyalty to your design tribe, and the # of stripes or dots across all your cards indicate your degree of group identification. But you also have hidden cards reflecting various private interests.

Let's say when you battle another player you're required to reveal one set of hidden cards if any other have the same or more points (or some other ratio) than your public loyalty cards. In this example you really love guitar and have to reveal your guitar cards. If the other player has the same cards they must also reveal theirs, or perhaps the revelation depends on the strength of their affiliation. Of course, by revealing your similarity of interest maybe you lose points among your own (stripe/dot) peer group because you have something in common with an enemy player...

You see where I'm going with this. Of course, any modeling of relationships and disruption built on this framework assumes that tribal affiliation is fundamentally arbitrary, eg as an accident of birth. If it turns out that the Stripers really and truly want to slice up their enemies or that the Dotters really and truly want to punch holes in them then mutual interest in guitars/crochet/pokemon may never be sufficient to overcome their differences. Thus a good deal depends on whether the enemies are opposed to each other by default or have made a conscious choice to fight each other, in which case that's likely to predominate over all other factors.
If you mean a culture war scenario, this was discussed briefly in the article - do you focus on the success of your Us, or on the relative success of your Us as compared to your Them?

I prefer the former, because it is a pure "improvement" mindset, whereas the latter allows for "success" via subjugation of other people while your Us stagnants.
To add to this comment, the majority of Finland's infantry fighting and transport vehicles that in use are still Soviet BMPs and MTLBs. Same applies to artillery and also all light machine guns are and probably will Russian PKMs for a while.

But yeah since the fall of USSR they've been slowing shifting towards buying from NATO countries/allies, with German Leopard tanks having replaced T-72s and recently buying artillery units from South Korea.
To me it just seems like they're identifying extraverted people and finding they're happier. No surprise, that's been known for decades.
Yes. It really cannot be overstated how amazing the Apple operation is - over the course of a year they make, distribute and sell half a million iPhones every day. All while having some of the highest environmental and human standards in their supply chain (I'm not saying those standards are good enough, just that they appear to do more than many other companies).

When you start to consider the numbers, it gets quite crazy - 200 million iPhones a year need 200 million LCD/OLED panels to be made and delivered to factories in sync with production demand, same for NAND flash (Apple buys about 20% of the world's capacity for NAND production every year, and given that starting capacities are 64GB these days, Apple must be buying at least 12 Exabytes of flash a year). They also then need 200 million of their custom CPU/GPU chips to be fabbed, 200 million aluminium cases, etc. etc. Right down to 200 million little SIM ejection tools to put in the 200 million instruction booklets in the 200 million boxes.

It boggles my mind when I start to think about it all :)

Not an expert, but I think this means your foot is sliding across the ground.

I do not develop blisters nor callouses because the feet are not landing hard and they're not sliding.

A couple of observations then. First, you can't bring your old form and start cold. Be prepared to work up to it by walking and gradually adding running. Second, the new form involves a more bent-knee, hopping, springy aspect. This vid was very helpful for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jio7DK15Q1E

This is quite accurate.

In my past I worked at a greasy bike shop and turned wrenches for several years. The smaller bike shops without the gloss and glamour of high end branded stores have a different mentality, and they are far more scrappy than their more "elite" cousins.

What you'll find is that when times get tough the elite shops will shut down because their overhead is higher, they carry more stock of higher priced merchandise, and they tend to have an attitude of exclusion toward their customers.

Meanwhile the scrappy grease shop will just cut back to carrying the best selling items, reduce some operating hours, and maybe drop a brand or two until the market picks back up.

There's a reason why the smaller shops usually have been around since the 70's or 80's and the larger elite shops always look shiny and new; The smaller shops live and the larger fancier shops die.

>From the article, it sounds more like these were systems designed to protect the equipment, which they did. A loss of productivity due to equipment failing or being destroyed has an associated cost. If that cost, factoring in the probability of that event, is less than the cost of not having these things remotely accessible (however that is determined), then the math is pretty clear about what choice you make.

People are not good at figuring out probabilities of events like being hacked - and that's assuming somebody even thought about that as a possibility, which is not at all a given in an industrial setting. The smaller factories that have clung to life here in the Midwest, for example, basically have one 'computer guy' who knows enough to keep things going.

>Even if humans are involved, that's just another cost to factor in. People get killed in work accidents all the time.

This reads like you think that people dying is acceptable risk to take. I'm going to leave it at that, lest I just call you a bunch of unpleasant names for an entire paragraph.

>This is the problem with "security people". Their only care in life is stopping attacks

It's as if that's my fucking job or something, eh?

>so they don't give a damn what the cost is and how it relates to the rest of the organization. We take calculated risks every single day, and if we didn't, nothing would ever get done

Sure we care. An airgapped internal network for this sort of thing would be an acceptable compromise for accessing something remotely. The public Internet is stupid to the point of gross irresponsibility.
That’s also how I always did it and it works well for startup jobs. A lot of people are too formal or list too many things that the person on the other end doesn’t care about.

It’s also important to reference something from the company website / job offer in my opinion. I recently had to wade through a bunch of applications we got through Indeed and 100% of them had irrelevant generic cover letters / intro text that could apply to a startup or an enterprise at the same time. Spending your time on that instead of formatting your CV goes a long way.
Ok, that was barely cohesive but oddly fitting the situation. :)
I wouldn't disagree that snobbishness is present in the running community, but there are standards that must hold for a course to be "record-eligible" (by the dominant athletic organizations). In sprints on a track, this includes the wind. I'm not sure if distance events include wind. But marathon courses must start and end "near" the same location (be a loop course, more or less) to avoid being wind-aided the entire time, and to avoid an overall elevation drop.

The course of the Boston marathon is notable in that it is not record-eligible. It is not a loop, and there is a net elevation drop. In 2011, there was a tailwind at Boston, resulting in abnormally quick times, including Ryan Hall's 2:04:58, which would have been an American record, but is not due to the course [1].

If you're talking about Monsanto Canada Inc. v. Schmeiser, this happened because Schmeiser deliberately sewed Roundup Ready seed throughout his fields. This wasn't a case of the wind randomly depositing the seeds on his fields. He knew exactly what he had, and he planted it on purpose.

But after that case, a number of activists with a political agenda decided to mischaracterize the facts of the case in order to smear Monsanto.

How to get developers to report time?
Very little. In this case, a single inspection (assuming all units were affected) over a period of 20 years would have prevented losses that more than compensate the effort of the added scrutiny.

Also, I like to be the first to know I'm wrong. If I make 100 aircraft and dedicate one to disassembly for study after a quarter of its estimated life, I'll be a .75% investment on better understanding my product. If De Havilland had done that, the stress on the square windows of the Comet would have been discovered before they started falling from the skies and we'd all be flying more beautiful planes.

I was shocked when I found out that, in more than 100 flights, nobody inspected the underside or the leading edges of the shuttle in orbit to check for damage incurred on lift off. They were pretty sure the only dangerous part of the flight was the re-entry.

You say a problem does not exist. You may have good reason to think it doesn't, and, yet, people die because it does.
"The biggest reason is that you cannot write `var someVariable: SomeGenericType<Type>` nor use it as a parameter or a return in a protocol, for example."

What's the reason for that? In Java, for example, interfaces can be generic in just the same way concrete types can, which also means you can declare variables and parameters of some specific instantiation of the interface. It looks like Swift has two different generics systems, one for concrete types and one for protocols, leading to this extra complexity. Presumably there's some reason for doing things this way.

Depends on the provider and codec. Who are you using for VoIP now?
It's a catch 22, since that divisiveness strengthens the divide, and that divide strengthens the two parties.

The biggest thing we are missing in the fight against the two party system is confidence.

We need people to be confident that they can elect someone from outside the two parties, and that those people can effect change in politics.

The problem is that individuals see greater participation by others as a dependency for their own participation.

Because people wait for that dependency, they refuse to act until there is a significant participation, and they themselves are no longer needed.

To tell someone otherwise is (or seems to be) to tell them that their vote does not effect the result, which is untrue, and undesirable.

I'm not really sure how to express this problem, or its solution.
