The Leave campaign broke funding rules; took money from the Russians; and ran a campaign that is widely recognised to have contained a range of misinformation from deliberate lies to heavily spun info.

Remain's campaign was only piss-poor.

From what I have experienced, some people have a strong cognitive bias towards the numbers on a clock, for example, needing to look at a clock in bed to decide if they are still tired. (or worse getting up happy and awake to be devastated to learn it is early morning after a few minutes)

People tend to identify themselves as a certain way, and those ideas have a strong impact on behaviors and desires. Of course it's silly to link how tired you feel to a clock, but it happens!

If you'd like more light towards the end of your day wake up earlier! (and sleep earlier) Try to realize that when you feel you want to be awake and asleep might have a lot more to do with an image of yourself you have attached to instead of any biological cause.
I was specifically commenting on the spent fuel pool which generates much less heat (at most about megawatt as far as I can find in the literature). However those pools have been a source of issues at Fukishima as there were some indications that the pool could reach criticality under the loss of cooling. (which rapidly escalates the heat production!) The referenced video talks about cooling the spent fuel passively for 72 hrs and then having to turn on a pump to add more water. (it doesn't say where the steam is going, presumably its being vented) So that got me thinking about letting the steam go through pipes forming a heat exchanger (either in the ground or in the air, and after this discussion the air would be better) so that as it condensed it could be returned to the spent fuel pond rather than lost.

The worst part of a Class 1 Flight Physical is a colon test, which involves a glove and some unpleasant moments. Funny story, we had a soldier who was a former gym rat and horribly homophobic. We were all up for this unpleasant experience and his best friend schemed with the flight surgeon who performs this physical. This could have likely gotten everyone in a lot of trouble but somehow everyone laughed it off.

Anyways, his best friend hid inside the room behind the gurney you bend over. When the surgeon did the colon check, his buddy came from behind the gurney. As the surgeon put his left hand on the soldier's left shoulder, his buddy put his right hand on his right soldier. This was right before the surgeon put his finger in/out for the colon check. Knowing what was going to happen we heard this big muscle bound guy scream like a 12 year old child and erupt in anger. Somehow by the grace of god he didn't assault the full bird colonel flight surgeon. Once he saw his buddy he realized he'd been had and got really mad but calmed down quickly. The rest of the 2 years he was in our unit that poor guy never lived it down. We were outside the room pretty much all on the ground crying laughing so hard.

I think personal attitudes toward collection of one’s personal data are orthogonal to the issue here, which is the weaponization of data collected in the aggregate. This is why I believe that personal boycotts of Facebook and the like, while responsible on an individual level, represent a slow and inefficient way of stopping the corruptible dynamics of large-scale data-collection ad model companies like FB. Regulation and accountability would be more effective. I know both of those words are four-letter words in the modern tech world zeitgeist.

> I don't understand why social media sites today are moving away from that

They don't want you to know when to stop looking. If they present feeds "newest first", you can move on as soon as you get to an item you've already seen. With a "curated" ordering, you never know when you'll see new content, so you keep scrolling (and thus providing them your interest data and looking at ads).
Yet, those same people are OK with handing 5/4s of their pay to billionaires.

>Homosexuality brings with a high level of STDs even within a "couple".

In part, because of efforts by right wing and religious groups to ensure that gay couples cannot receive treatment without risking their personal safety, and to deny homosexuals access to the same medical rights and privileges as heterosexuals. If there were no stigma to homosexuality, and no threat to the funding or reputation of doctors or programs that treat homosexuals, then the spread of STDs amongst that community would be lower. After all, it's not as if AIDS or syphilis knows the sexual preference of the person it infects, and decides not to infect straight people, or to double-infect gays, so the contributing factors here must be external, social and political. One needs to recognize the difference between gay lifestyles (there are more than one) when considering the negative aspects of sexual promiscuity therein, and the existence of homosexuality itself. One can criticize the former without demonizing the latter.

Another factor, also related to the need for gay communities to remain isolated in many places, is the fact that there are fewer gay people than straight people, and therefore fewer potential partners, making the likelihood of infection higher.

>To this end, one could make the argument that homosexual behavior is a public health crisis and should be banned along with non-monogamous heterosexual relationships.

One could make that argument, but it would be an inhumane argument to make, which is why most people would oppose it.
Google is there when you're in the buying mindset. "I need car insurance, let's google car insurance" that's worth $40 a click. And there's return on investment from that too.

Facebook is fantastic for advertisers what it mastered is targeting. It knows EVERYTHING about you. However it is at a disadvantage from google in that, you're not in a buying mindset when you're on the site. So as an advertiser the clicks are worth less.

Reddit could enter facebooks space. Your comments and forum activity could be data mined to build an advertising profile. However, they haven't really mastered that yet.

anyway, I’m not a big fan of the use of indoor farms with artificial lighting. The sun provides the energy that plants need to us at no cost but it’s costly to produce the energy from LED’s. I’m more in favor of the use of greenhouses on rooftops, and urban restaurants getting as much produce as possible sourced from local urban farms, and creating that economy. But hey, people are definitely doing it with LED’s on-premise and making it work for them.
Also everyone is futzing with business models. There are maintenance facilities from many companies all over the world that can work on airframes, engines etc. The airframe and engine manufacturers are seeing all this post-sale income go to those companies, and not back to the manufacturer. So they are "fixing" that.

For example Rolls Royce does "power by the hour" where the airline is essentially paying rent on the engine while it is in use. That means Rolls takes care of the maintenance etc (all rolled into the per hour price). There are far fewer Rolls locations that can do that work. Then suddenly a lot of maintenance work needs to be done, and planes have to wait.

For those interested in aviation, I recommend following leehamnews[1]. The industry is very similar to what is faced in the software industry but over far larger timescales. eg airframe manufacturers have constant streams of improvements, but have to work out if and how to charge for them, how to do deal with existing aircraft of the same model without them ("backwards compatibility"), and the constant spending money to make money. You even see second system effects (arguably the birth of the 787 was just that financially, manufacturing and technically).

> You can't verify what an individual host does. So you can either upload your application to a single host that you trust to run it (like everyone has been doing happily for decades) or you can write your application to by Byzantine fault-tolerant and upload it to multiple hosts.

There is a difference between trusting someone and have a contract with someone. If I use EC2, I'm using AWS, and they have policies and laws they have to comply with (data privacy is one of the first one that pops up in my mind). Technically, nothing stops a AWS engineer to put their hands in my application; Legally, they cannot do it, so they are liable if I find it out.

I'm not saying that AWS is the best. I'm saying that compared to AWS, Codius gives me less guarantees.

> [...] That's not possible with traditional hosting because the uploader generally gets admin rights at ALL hosts they upload to.

A Sybil attack seems to be quite cheap on Codius. I can have 10 hosts managed with 10 different identities and make people think the app is legit.

> Standardization, so you can upload to many hosts without speaking a dozen different APIs.

I don't mind having more tools to achieve that, but Docker/Kubernetes standardized the way devops deploy apps, you can use them on different cloud providers (or on your own machine[s]).

> You pay when you upload and your client is enforcing a certain max rate. The host could turn off your contract before the agreed-upon time so if you're worried about that you could only pay for e.g. two hours at a time using some cron job.

There is still no proof that the host charged me the correct amount of money. Even if I cap the money I put in the system, a host can still charge me much more than it should be.

> In practice, a lot of this will come down to host selection. If a host has been legit, reliable, etc. for years, it's unlikely to suddenly decide to screw you out of $10. That's why we think host trackers like codiushosts.com will play an important role. We're working on building our own host tracker as well.

Maybe I'm thinking too much about "blockchain" when I think about Codius, but reading "Decentralized apps" and "Smart contracts/programs" in the homepage doesn't help, I'd remove it.
> This might in fact be the one service that is a bad enough experience, that I would gladly welcome our new robotic overlords.

I think this does not solve the underlying problem. Sorry if this is out of scope but lets talk about the recent blender on YouTube thing. Often, it is not that the person answering the phone is an idiot but rather the person answering the phone does not have the authority to do anything. I've received bad bills from T-Mobile where the process goes like:

1. see bad bill in the mail 2. Call T-Mobile and wait 3. Get a person and explain the situation 4. Person looks and agrees that line item shouldn't be there and removes it. Person also says they put a note to prevent this from happening again. 5. Rinse and repeat.

I refuse to believe that multiple people over the course of a year are all incompetent. I must conclude there was either something intentional (bill stuffing?) or the staff was not empowered to fix the situation. Will we empower our new robotic overlords to "fix" the situation?

IMO, this is one of the applications where AR really shines. Having a HUD in your helmet to show this kind of information would be absolutely amazing. There have been attempts, I know, but it doesn't seem like there's anything really consumer-oriented at this point (Skully, for example, was ridiculously expensive - over $1k for a helmet, IIRC. That's plainly out of the realm of a normal helmet purchase).
I'm not really sure how the 2nd Iraq War is a testament to American evil. It sounds to me like you're saying the invasion was unjustified?

But, is there really anyone who thought Saddam was a good guy? He was very obviously a brutal dictator. So, at the very least there's one fewer of those around.

Sure, WMD turned out to be a total fabrication and the Iraq War ended up being a misguided attempt at democracy building.

But saying that it shows America's inherent evil nature is very odd from my point of view. Even if the only outcome (as it seems to be) is getting rid of a dictator, that seems like a good thing. Though, you could argue the cost doesn't seem to have been worth it looking back now.

I guess I'm failing to imagine how it could possibly be in the evil bucket and not just neutral or good.

What I meant is: the graph is more useful if you can apply the relations transitively (i.e. find one or more paths between any two languages, and use the compilers to walk along the path). The demo even suggests that by allowing you to find a path, and leave the "directly" box unchecked.
> I would guess the average farm tractor in the fields today in the US is 20-30 years old.

It's actually surprisingly hard to find hard numbers on this topic, but the numbers I've seen have generally suggested that the average age is more like 10-20 years old. The hard numbers I've seen do say that about 10-20% of tractors are less than 5 years old.

Realistically, the difficult part of electric tractors isn't the mileage but rather the fact that you're consuming far more power per mile. You're looking at measuring fuel consumption of around 10 gallons an hour, instead of about 1.5 gallons an hour for a car. Also, you're going to want to work the tractor for as much sunlight as you can muster, and you want to charge back up only overnight. So you'd want an equivalent not of a 200 mile range car but more like a 2500 mile range car, that can fully charge overnight.
yea he's trying to conflate propaganda with "sophisticated targeting" when it's really AFAICT people sharing shitposts with each other reinforcing their beliefs. if you look at, say 4chan or fox news there's no "sophisticated targeting" going on there at all

> AFAIK Codius doesn't provide any tool to compare outputs from different hosts.

I'd love to see somebody make a browser extension that does just that!

There are a bunch of important ecosystem pieces missing from Codius still. Keep in mind that this current release of it just came out a month ago.

If I had a magic wand, the next things I'd introduce would be a Codius namespace system (have the design in my head but haven't had time to write it down) which can securely resolve an identifier like "alicescontract" to a JSON document like {"hosts":[...],"manifestHash":"...","hostPublicKeys":[...],"threshold":5}

(For the blockchain geeks in the audience: Note you wouldn't need consensus for that because names are not fungible, so some weak form of consistency would be fine.)

Then I would add a feature to Codiusd which allows a host to look up that identifier and then depending on the JSON become a proxy to that contract. What that would mean is that you could go to alicescontract.[any-codius-host] in your browser and that host would do the work of collecting responses from all the other hosts and respond once it has `threshold` matching replies. You could use whatever host you trust most as your proxy or, for the super-paranoid, you could run your own host and use that.

There are further optimizations of course but I'll stop here.
You conflate the two. You can have capitalism and not be a consumerist, materialist society.
The problem sounds to me like it's triggered by environmental conditions, not random chance: "during a step climb to a higher altitude in ice crystal icing conditions". In that case, does having two identical engines really constitute redundancy?

The article specifically claims that Cambridge Analytica's techniques _didn't_ sway opinion, merely that they allowed them to locate specific voters. The wikipedia section you linked says much the same:

On a different topic. I feel material design makes website a clone of another website .
Here's one: partaking in a pedo or Lolita fantasy. Doesn't sit right with most people, though that on its own doesn't make it immoral. One could argue that exploration of, say, violent or depraved acts as mere fantasy is apologist, increases risk of partakers trying to up the ante with non-consensual participants to get their rocks off, and is plainly psychologically unhealthy. Fantasizing about what is deemed "evil" is not immoral (we all have fantasized about inflicting violence) but what of habitually doing so to the point where it transforms us? May it be socially considered immoral to genuinely want to commit ill-will even if it isn't performed? Obviously actions are the only "actionable" thing as far as repercussions go, but our thinking changes us perpetually: it is in a sense an action, to choose ourselves. I believe we can choose to be exceptionally deviant, and can choose otherwise, and that the former could have negative consequences both for the self and society. In some capacity, this touches morality...
