Never mind the massive debate that occurs within the scientific community itself on some new or controversial claims. When the press gets its hands on the views of one dissenter and one proponent, it makes it seem like there are only sides A and B. This is not as simplistic as politics, where politicians form into immutable groups Left vs Right. We are dealing with numerous camps, and within each scientific camp, there are numerous arguments made for/against an issue.

Take climate change, no doubt a controversial issue. To say it is "controversial" in the political sense would mean Left and Right (in the USA alone) have vociferously different stances on the issue. However, if viewed as a scientific controversy, we are now talking about detailed methodological concerns, like methods of data collection, analysis, kinds of statistical bias, and subtle changes in arbitrary parameters. Any scientist can tweak this or that in their model to make it conform more easily to their preconceived notions about climate change. Unfortunately, we also have some oil industry shills out there who got trotted out as an equally weighted side B to the side A of the dozens of scientists who would generally disagree. Then, you also have anti-science proponents who use the legitimate self-criticism of scientists to attack science as a whole.

It's a sad state of affairs. Science should be reported in the press, but it should also be reported much better than it is. In the USA in particular, STEM education is lagging behind: the average person can't delineate the good science coverage from the bad, and we have ridiculous notions and conspiracies that fail to become filtered out (anti vax, climate change deniers, flat earthers, moon landing was faked, etc.)

For me, reproducibility is one problem in a broader ecosystem of scientific problems, including science education generally, as well as misuse of statistics, and a saddening drive for incremental results at the expense of more broad-based thinking which might lead to fundamental breakthroughs. Our education systems must be reformed to deal with these problems, that's the only way out that I see.
There was a study[1] where a plane was deliberately crashed into the Sonoran Desert, and in it they found the front of the cabin experienced much higher g-forces than those in the rear.

There's also an interesting blog by a UK Professor who studies the safety of crowds in various disaster scenarios:

He found that the closer you are to an exit row, the marginally better your odds of survival.

>I haven't read enough D + L to comment, but I don't really understand what relation Foucault has to Heidegger. They're very different.

Writing styles or even subject matters don't matter. Core ideas matter more. Foucault himself said:

"For me Heidegger has always been the essential philosopher. I began by reading Hegel, then Marx, and I set out to read Heidegger in 1951 or 1952; then in 1952 or 1953 – I don’t remember any more – I read Nietzsche. I still have here the notes I took when I was reading Heidegger – I’ve got tons of them! And they are much more important than the ones I took on Hegel or Marx. My entire philosophical development was determined by my reading of Heidegger."

I have evidence of same and it may not be just FB and Messanger

Last week a co-worker engaged me in a discussion concerning her father-in-laws diagnosis of prostate cancer. This lasted about 20 or 30 minutes. I had my cell phone on me. I do not have FB or Messanger.

I do not deal with cancer cases at work. I did not google any information on prostate cancer. I did not send any mails pertaining to prostate cancer or any other form of cancer.

Two days later I start getting ads and suggestions for prostate cancer treatment options. How unlikely should that be?

I am trying to reproduce the effect by talking about other rare disease conditions with my phone switched on.

If the bugger is spying on me I'd like to know.

PHI is a real barrier to your wish list, it's harder to get right than most people think and it is very very hard to get right in a distributed environment. And all the current advances in these general areas (voice recognition, transcription, semantic reasoning, etc.) are leaning heavily on distributed processing.

It's definitely a well identified market and there are people working on it, but I haven't seen much progress (not that I'm looking terribly closely at the moment).

From the point of the view of the last step, the ML one, I suspect the consenting is as much an issue as the PHI. Getting any real traction on this will likely require massive data sets and significant clinician time to aid training.

> How is it not the people vs the corporations?
Take any environmental disaster, BP in the gulf for instance

I am not pushing back on the underlying debates, just the way they're lumped together. Characterizing BP vs. the people of the Gulf as "corporation versus the people" muddies the water. Small, incorporated fishing companies were hit particularly badly by the spill. Meanwhile, certain private individuals did quite well on the clean-up contracts. It's a uniquely local issue with some federal regulatory touches.

There are deep rifts involved in every issue. Understanding those rifts is a pre-requesite to negotiating them. A good way to neuter a movement is to convince it the "corporations" are the problem. The term is so broad and so vague it's meaningless, and sometimes I suspect that's the point.

> If someone has hurt you before, is openly planning to hurt you again, and openly states they don't see a problem with their actions, you don't have to wait for them to hurt you again before you call it a confrontation

If someone hurts you and instead of confronting them, you call out their whole neighborhood, nothing will happen. The offending individual will blend into the background of people enraged at being pulled into a fight that isn't theirs. That's the problem. If someone hurts you, call them out specifically.

>> Like if doctors are right 85% of the time, but the AI is 90%.

There is always the possiblity that the doctors and the device are both right 90% of the time, but not the same 90% of the time.

Or that either the doctors or the device are right most of the time for the most severe cases but the other party is right only for the milder cases, etc.

Awesome, that's funny. I'm working on marketing stuff as well.
What people often don't understand is that a signal handler never has to return, and indeed as far as the kernel is concerned (traditionally speaking) never does return. To deliver a signal all the kernel really does is reset the program counter. Okay, that's not the whole truth--first it sets up a trampoline so that if the handler does return the program counter and stack pointer is restored, plus potentially some other magic. But the important thing is that a signal is fundamentally nothing more than an unscheduled goto, as opposed to an asynchronous call/return.

This is why the kernel is never in danger of recursing and only a small, fixed amount of kernel state is needed to deliver signals (ignore real-time signals). Maintaining this O(1) space and time characteristic explains a lot about the semantics of signals, abstractly and in concrete implementations.

Know this doesn't make it any less dangerous in terms of the potential pitfalls, but IMO understanding how it works can help to make it clear how signals can be usefully employed. And it also shows why simply writing to a pipe is problematic--a pipe can overflow and cause an application to miss signals that smarter code wouldn't. signalfd was born precisely because of this limitation. (Unlike BSD kqueue, signalfd only supports a single listener--including signal handlers--per signal, which means signalfd only solves the very narrow problem of overflowing a pipe.)
I'm sure the New York Times has a vested interest in keeping New York the economic powerhouse of the United States and this article directly attacks San Fransisco's best option for economic growth.

There are entire careers dedicated to determine buildings ability to survive natural disasters and informing people about the risk. There are entire careers dedicated to finding ways to make buildings more earth quake resistant. It seems like banks, developers, governments, and insurance companies would be listening to both of these professionals very closely before building something one thousand feet high. I would prefer to hear from them than Thomas Fuller of the New York Times.

Analytical philosophy: we don't care about morals, what it means to be human, and meaning. Let's constrain philosophy to an axiomatic system based on formal logic and math. We shall think and express only whatever meagre results our systems allow.

> "a mass of meaningless, incoherent, poetic mumbo-jumbo".

Also: are new developments of analytic philosophy really that "clear" in their language? Usually, no. For example, is Saul Kripke really that "meaningful, coherent and logical" or he is just developing his own jargon?

In my opinion, analytic philosophy often tries to be rigorous with concepts that just are not rigorous to begin with. And they just end up by creating an "ordinate mess".

I do not see much need for delineation. In today's world, every higher-level employee can be analyzed just fine from both sides:

- she is exploited, i.e., forced to act in a profit-maximizing way (in particular, short-term profit). Each other behavior will be penalized (no career, no tenure, ...).

- she is exploiting, i.e., forces her workforce to act in way that they maximize her profit.
As others have said - perform more tests. I've worked around molecular pathology testing for cancer (which comes up with a diagnosis based on data analysis after running DNA or RNA sequencing). If the molecular report differs from what the surgical pathologist saw when looking under the microscope, it's typically not 'it's cancer' vs 'it is not cancer', but more 'this is molecularly non-small cell lung cancer' vs 'this appears to be prostate cancer'. So what will happen is they'll do more staining on the sample, specific to what the molecular report came out with - and a lot of times - bam. That tumor in someone's prostate is actually lung cancer and needs to be treated that way.
That makes sense, but US business owners also preferred being insulated from foreign competition.
Indeed, "rapid" depressurization would be the preferred term. (I'm an instructor.)

I try to be empathetic of the flying public when reading about in-flight emergencies. For passengers, a shredded engine and a broken window are terrifying. The deck angle at 3000 fpm is steeper than they've ever seen. I can understand why a passenger might use the phrase "going down."

Obviously for pilots, engine failure and rapid depress are so textbook as to be boring. The captain practices responding to these emergencies every time she's in the sim.

I don't envy the reporters. Balancing these two perspectives has got to be a hard job. And I can see how it's easy to get swept up in the emotionality.

I agree that the comments on threads aren't equivalent, but I have to say that every Musk employee I've known is exceedingly passionate about their company - much moreso than the FB people I've known. More than one has explicitly told me they and the other staff treat Musk as something like a father figure, to the point of being excited and proud whenever they find out he'll visit/tour their division.

Granted, some of that gap is pretty understandable; building rockets is damned inspiring for a lot of people. But I still have the sense that Facebook isn't anywhere near the top of the "religious attitudes" ladder, they just get called out for it because of what their product does.

When I was in Japan in 2011, nearly every girl I talked to had the same favorite singer -- Lady Gaga. I noticed that Japanese pop culture diversifies in time rather than space: something reaches critical mass and then sweeps the entire nation like cherry blossom season, only to be swept away by the next big thing weeks later. Also trending at that time were the anime One Piece and the Disney character Stitch (who had just gotten his own anime which was the canon sequel to Lilo and Stitch and takes place in Okinawa rather than Hawaii). Previous trends are traceable even after they've left Japan: in the late 1980s, Nickelodeon suddenly picked up several shows featuring koalas. What had happened was, a few years earlier, an Australian zoo donated a breeding pair of koalas to a Japanese zoo, and that triggered "koala mania" in Japan with koala-themed anime becoming popular. A similar mania involving hamsters struck in the early 2000s.

Japanese people are individuals, but Japanese society favors the collective, and the person who goes along to get along. Accordingly, people are rewarded for adding their voices to the throngs supporting something that is already popular or favored by the elite, much less so for cultivating individual tastes, which are pushed to the sidelines (think back-alley Akihabara with its tsundere maid cafés and other businesses of peculiar interest).

In the USA we put high value on "being an individual like everyone else". Social media has simply amplified the "like everyone else" bit by making it easy to keep track of what everyone else is doing. Something that's been ongoing in Japan for decades if not centuries. (The koseki can be considered a form of paper-and-ink social media.)

Probably pretty unnerving nonetheless, but here's some fun(1) nerdery. If you convert the probable horizontal airspeed (500 MPH ballpark) into feet per minute, it's about 45,000. Which means the plane went about 15 feet horizontally for each foot it dropped vertically. (Just very rough here, gimme a break.) The slope of its path would've been around -0.067 which is like a 6.7% highway grade. This is allowed on state & federal highways in mountainous areas of the US, though a "steep grade" warning sign is typically required for trucks' sake. The angle of descent would be 3.8º off the horizontal.

EDIT for additional nerdery: NYC and Philly are about 80 mi apart, so keeping that assumption of an airspeed of roughly 500MPH, they were in the air about 10 minutes.

(1)YET ANOTHER EDIT: Just heard somebody on the flight died, so using the word "fun" above isn't quite right to do. But I'm leaving it, with this note.
