> As the little ice age ended and temperatures warmed, ice melted and freshwater flooded into the North Atlantic. The results suggest the current state of the AMOC is the weakest it has been over that whole long record. Whether today’s state is just a continuation of that reaction or whether global warming has also started to chip in is not clear, he says. Caesar, meanwhile, put the turning point toward a weaker AMOC in the mid-20th century, suggesting it is due to the influence of human-caused warming. Her team’s record, however, does not extend as far back.

It's always difficult reading climate analysis like these articles where it bounces back and forth between sounding confident of projections in the first half of the article, to how it's all still really speculative without consensus and needing better modeling in the latter half.

All I want is to know what the data says and a reasonable estimate of it's probability of being true. Yet it's almost impossible to separate what the scientists hope the data may to point to and what it reasonably does in it's current state.

I guess, as a casual reader, it'd be better to not jump on every new study that comes out and wait for future consensus to form.
In this particular case, it did not ask you to log in though, so there's little difference.
I had a roommate in college who had a BeBox with the twin PPC 603(?) processors and a row of LEDs on the front configured to show the current load of each CPU.

It was super cool and could make these absolutely insane multimedia demos, but he was forever trying to get software to work on it. Whatever POSIX compatibility it had was absolutely insufficient for modern (at the time) applications. Everything required some rewriting by hand, and there were definitely crashes. Worse, Netscape didn't release a BeOS version of Navigator so he was always hacking up the latest Mosaic release to try to get it working. I was running FreeBSD at the time and it was the polar opposite. Sound barely worked, the only video players were slow and unreliable open sourced school projects, but it was front and center on the newfangled Internet thing that was going around at the time.

The goal is to avoid blocking, not to offer async also. That's a lost cause.

Fuchsia once had the goal to offer async only, but then some manager decided that he needs some blocking, and then it was gone.

non-blocking only is lower level than blocking. You can always wait indefinitely for that callback, but usually you have a default timeout.

Blonde hair and blue eyes? It seems to me that traits not currently found in nature would be most difficult to produce, ergo most rare and expensive, therefore most prestigious among a certain crowd.

How about purple hair and orange eyes? Natural skin pigmentation that mimics tribal tattoos? A tapidum lucidum? Ears with elf-points? Sharp vampire-style canine teeth? People are going to be designing their babies, which means certain traits will go in and out of fashion, just to keep people paying more money for "better" babies.

It is likely that certain traits will be subsidized as a matter of national security and/or pride, like those identified for intelligence, athletic ability, or resembling the current dictator-for-life. The rest will be a la carte, and maybe paid in cash under the table.

Forward-looking countries will subsidize packages to meet national goals, such as uniform body size, lower total mass, higher bone density retention, and lack of freefall-sickness for a space program, or strength and endurance for soldiers, or fine motor control and analytic ability for surgeons. Frivolous cosmetic traits would be add-ons for the rich and/or powerful. As they trickle down to the lower classes, they become less fashionable, and rich people pay to have them removed. Star-bellied Sneetches pay to be unstarred, and Plain-bellied Sneetches pay to get stars upon thars. Sylvester McMonkey McBean takes all the cash and gets away clean.

It's also a matter of seeing what you can achieve on aging hardware. Can you do better than a team of professionals could in the 80s? Could you make something that pushes the console to its limits? Those types of questions are very inviting for both homebrew and ROM hack developers alike. Or perhaps before them, for those in the demoscene.
And it’s an overstated solution. I don't think people have a sense as to how incredibly large the U.S. budget is - for 2016, the expenditures were nearly $4,000,000,000,000 (trillion). Even if you seized the assets of the top 10 richest (which took them a lifetime to accumulate), you're not even close to covering the U.S. budget for a single year.

The military budget is the elephant in the room that no one will address for fear of appearing as soft or anti-American.

> Reddit is a private corporation, these supposed core tenants of western liberalism do not mean they need to provide a forum for racists.

It seems like you're arguing with cliches that I'm not putting forward. They're a private corporation, and I'm saying I support their decision to not go further down the road of speech censorship. I'm not saying they're not capable of more censorship, I'm saying I support the choice they've made.

I fail to see the point of your use of the word "supposed" there. Free speech is unequivocally a core tenant of western Liberalism. It's fine if you don't believe in Liberalism, it seems quite popular not to currently, but attempting to redefine it is a bit Orwellian.
/r/politics is definitely not leftwing in any real sense. It's more like distilled American centrism: socially permissive but ultimately capitalist.

All of those illnesses are tied with circadian desynchrony problems. If you screw with the clock gene in a mouse for example, or poke at the part of the hypothalamus that controls sleep-wake cycles (the suprachiasmatic nucleus), those mice will die early of heart disease and cancer.

Fun fact: one of the top genes associated with type-2 diabetes, for example, is the melatonin receptor!

These are hardly confounds, but more end-points of diseases of aging, which can be accelerated when the bodies homeostatic control of anabolism and catabolism is broken.

In short, there is much that remains to be done to find the associations between sleep architecture, aging, and human health outcomes.

We could increase the estate tax and capital gains taxes. They're much harder to avoid, the focus purely on income tax is the problem.
I disagree, most of them are simple static sites. Gmail, Google Docs, etc. are the outliers, not the norm. Reddit is a static text site with images. Hacker News is a static text site. Blogs are static text sites (with a few embedded images or non-text objects.

Sure they could but they haven't, yet.

No, the Oxford dictionary definition for the product's name as cited is correct in the regions it says it is. The existence of other, similar derogatory terms in other regions is secondary, if anything.

Fuck accessibility, right? Neat project, but please don't actually use this for anything serious. A lot of people use accessibility tools to interact with the web, and this this would make it nigh impossible for them to consume your content.
I take a defined format like .xls over an unspecified de facto ‘standard’ like .csv anytime. In many locales .csv files don’t even contain comma separated values because the comma is the decimal symbol already. It’s a mess, half of the time Microsoft can’t make it work either even when you only use their software.
> But some of it's because nobody in the system seems to have a real incentive to reduce costs

And I think a large part of this stems from insurance companies paying for most of the cost of care (if you're insured) rather than the person who is receiving the care, which leads to a market failure because the insurance companies aren't incentivized to keep costs down like an individual would be.
Yeah, this is a goldbug's list.

"Quantitative easing", CPI, "Debt-based money", "Zero interest-rate policies", and "The decline in the purchasing power of money".

Raising the interest rate would constrain investment and lead to recession. This is a key part of the conventional understanding of interest rate/inflation links, which have been managed fairly effectively in the West for decades.

The only really sound thing he says is "Wages have not risen by the same amount. Those who rely on their salaries to get by have suffered an inexorable erosion of their wealth. Those who own assets have made good."

What is HSM, how it works?
For the kind of equality being discussed, none of those things really matter. The best job in the world, the best education in the world, the best technology in the world, none of that really fixes this problem.

A fiscal/monetary policy problem like this is potentially best served with a fiscal/monetary policy fix.
The doctor doesn't know what the claim is going to be. It takes sometimes weeks to know how much you charge at all.

This is because insurance companies pay in base on what you did or how long you did it. You itemize each visit like a tax return that later gets reviewed. Then someone reads the return and thinks if it makes any sense.

After that, they pay back the doctor, but according to the plan, they also have to charge the patient the copay.

That said, a doctors office that is only cash will get very little patients. Because people that are employed will not go to a cash-only doctor's office.
Depending on regulations of this, I doubt they can resell. Especially if each background check is done days apart from each other. You may run into a scenario where a felony case was recorded in between background checks.

Eh, I think a few of the replies explain why that may be true about certain subreddits, or more accurately the behavior of troublesome users, groups, or even mods therein, but can't say that's in any way backed up by the experience of many of the largest/regional/niche/meaningful communities either.

Recommend against generalizing (which is good advice to apply to indie boards as well). I could just as easily say phpBB scrubs the identity out of many (and frankly insofar as certain sets of smileys, signatures, and other craziness "defines" other communities, in a way...it does)
> But, as you've said, you're not an Apple customer, so this isn't irrelevant is it? Apple customers in general don't work like you do.

Thank you, this was exactly my point. Buying Apple and expecting long-term backwards compatibility is a mistake. If that is what you need then buy something else. I'm sure some people are being screwed by it, but it's not like this came out of nowhere.
I've written quite a bit about this topic (www.iheavy.com)

Yes getting "out of the building" is important, and going out & meeting people is key. All the time. Also don't hard sell people. Instead introduce one person to another person. At first you are simply giving your connections. But soon people see you as a go-to person, and will bring things to you. Also people don't forget gifts of introductions & business you bring.

Another thing. Don't go to "peer" events with other engineers. These events are useful to build your knowledge, but not work building your business. Stronger leads come from business owners, managers & CTOs. Start going to events outside your subject area of expertise. Go to pitch events, vc events, startup events, entrepreneur events.

You will be surprised how valuable you will be in a non-tech business event. This will also teach you to communicate better with non-tech folks. And share what you know. Also ask people, "what events do you recommend?" Then go to those events. And so on!

It depends what you mean by successful. The Soviet Union and China were both very successful at taxing the rich. The consequences of doing so were disastrous, however.

Screw this [insert decision of reddit admins], I'm going to Voat!

The only problem with voat is it's probably the Mos Eisley of the internet now, since every time reddit kicks out the racists or the fascists or the bullies they all say they're going to voat.
I was under the impression that DoNotPay worked well because text is fairly boilerplate (if so can you really call that automation?). Plus, I don't think many people pay lawyers for parking tickets.

As far as law in general, I have heard convincing arguments that it would be difficult to make ML for defense and judging, given the tainted historical data (and likely that historical data will always be tainted as our morality and laws change).

How is this different than open(secret_file)? Serious question.
Most often it's to try and help the other person become a better programmer. I've found that people who have little desire to improve end up sitting there regardless.

The underlying desire to do it, of course, is to give the programmer (the one who we're investing in to improve) a chance to improve. It feels, however, like a wasted effort.
> But I'm finding it more and more the case where mods feel the need to heavily regulate conversations/posting preemptively based on arbitrary personal worldview on what is 'good' content for the subreddit, instead of coming in to help when there's actual problems and situations where downvoting simply isn't enough.

That seems like a fair description of Metafilter as well, which is a poster child of "moderation that works" in some quarters. At some point the moderation drifted to shepherding the conversation in particular directions, though that may be to appease users who'd cause problems if it went any other way.
I wanted to believe this, but I think it could be too late. Doing so would require gargantuan amounts of energy that I think could only come from fusion but that is at best 30+ years away from first net energy. Even then it would take some time to build enough capacity, and lag effects in the environment mean we will almost certainly see some pretty effects in the next 100 years.
> Funded by subscriptions

This sounds like it might be a good idea because it seems like it would remove the incentive to monetize personal information, but in practice it creates a barrier to adoption and makes the social network kinda useless.

I joined a subscription-based social network that was designed for expats [1]. It was by all-accounts well-designed, well-managed and had everything going for it. But no one in my circles are part of it, and the event lists were really thin because the network was really thin (and I live in one of the largest cities in the U.S.). It does "work" for some definitions of work, but it isn't very successful (though there seems to be enough people on it to make it sustainable--I wonder about retention rates past year 1).

I suspect the things on your list were conceived based on your circumscribed experiences and are not what the general market really wants. It could work in a more niche setting, but you'd have a hard time scaling the business model.

People change, though. The human condition is one of constantly justifying and explaining your actions and coming up with a story to arrange everything into. I think the story of Facebook as an "idealist" company is one that Zuckerberg and friends have genuinely taken to heart.
Nintendo Switch and Tech Program Launches Today to Find New Technologies
Fair enough, but I still wouldn't disregard Sun Tzu or Donald Knuth as making arguments comprised of "insanity rooted in nostalgia." That was my primary point.

In any event, Knuth specifically made statements dismissive of C++ 25 years ago that I believe are still valid today. I must have missed reading Sun Tzu's missive on mechanized warfare from the 6th century BC. ;)

Indeed, we can both agree on the backwards compatibility problem. I'm waiting on a C++ build as I type this. Also, I really like the new language features like std::unique_ptr std::function and lambdas.

I'd still rather do my true low-level programming in C bound with a garbage-collected higher-level language for less hardware-focused or performance-critical work instead of bolting those features on to C by committee over the span of decades. For example, C shared libraries with Lua bindings or LuaJIT FFI are bliss in my humble opinion.
Every Single Setting in iOS Control Center and How Each One Works
Nice. I was thinking about this lecture too.
That's why I qualified it with "like Windows or Linux", but yes they haven't totally disregarded backwards compatibility. They definitely have a history of dropping support for many things a couple years after they stop selling hardware that supports it, but they don't do so without warning.
Yeah but you don't have to only eat vegetables to feel full. Just eating "normal" food in the right/limited amounts feels fine (at least after the first few weeks).

Also I doubt that people trying to diet would just eat a few candys for lunch and try to live with that.

And surprisingly the full-feeling does actually correlate with the amount of calories you eat. If you eat 2 strips of bacon (which doesn't seem much) and let it sit for some time (without eating more) hunger passes. Maybe not as much as with better food, but it still does to some degree.
This reply is a classic straw man (and one of the main reasons I left Facebook behind). You are making an assumption here that's wrong and I hate that I have to speak to what you've said here because you are reading words that I didn't type. I personally would not choose to put profits ahead of people. But I didn't say anything about profit. I deliberately left profit and money completely out of my post for a reason. You also seem to be suggesting that throwing money at the problem is going to magically make it perfectly safe. You are looking for guarantees and I'm sorry to break it to you, but there are no guarantees in life. "Screws fall out all the time". People are going to die in the process of developing self-driving automobile technology. People are going to die in situations that have nothing to do with self-driving automobile technology. Deaths are inevitable and I am saying that it is worth a perceived significant loss of human life to close the gap using technology so that the number of people dying on the roads every year approaches zero.
It's definitely not commonly known as a derogatory word in English - at least not by the largest English speaking nation (US).

Very, very few Americans would even know any meaning for the word "munt". But if they heard it spoken, especially if in the context of money or the herb (mint), they would assume the speaker said "mint". Also, I don't think it's a bit of a stretch to imagine that munt became mint in England a few hundred years ago...

Some of the people here need to lighten up about names. Perhaps we can start with the assumption that a word isn't being used negatively until it's demonstrated otherwise.
There are a thousand of these health/nutrition articles every year, all telling you that this or that has a small effect on your health and life. Given how hard it is to reproduce these studies and how minimal the effects are, I find it hard to care.
