Legally speaking this would be a truly awful idea for them to do, so I would be absolutely gobsmacked if it were the case.
It's a bit ironic because you made the exact same mistake they made. Interplanetary colonization only makes sense if humans are even around in 10,000 years. It's possible they will not be -- the speed of light being finite makes interplanetary colonization much less probable. Making any kind of 10,000 year prediction on a population thousands seems myopic.

>You source simple concepts and then use a children's book to back up your final claim?

Yes, because the concepts of healthcare in the US are absurd, and it's easily illustrated through a children's story book. In the US diabetes (1 version of it) has no known cause or cure, but in other countries (where there is free health care) it has a known cause and cure.

>...medical advances are often necessary...

Again, in countries with government supported healthcare they recognize that lifestyle choices are the number 1 cause of preventable disease. Number 1. What is "often necessary" in the US is in reality a rare exception.

Consider smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, junk food diets, no exercise, etc... these all are widely _known_ to deplete the immune system. So the only argument left for hacked viruses is for people with auto-immune diseases or other serious compromised systems, which is in fact rare.

UK supermarkets (Morrison, Sainsburys, Waitrose, Asda, Tesco) are the worse places to find proper good food.

The European supermarket chains (Lidl, Aldi) which also have UK stores, are much better for food varieties.

Holocaust denial is, on the root, pure antisemitism, which has been an evil element of every Western society since the beginning of the diaspora. The ideology behind it is pretty much equal to that part of nazi ideology (and I'm not one of those who is quick to run around calling everybody nazi these days).

As someone whose school system has provided them with some insight on how this all happened I see the US absolutist view on free speech when it is about outright lies like Holocaust denial as a bit dangerous. Preventing deluted individuals from spreading a life-threatening lie is not censorship. I see that the US view is coming from a very humanist view here, but tolerance needs to have limits set by basic human rights values, otherwise it will be destroyed by itself sooner or later.

The approach to "educate the deniers" is indicating to them and the listeners that you are taking them and their delusions seriously, and dissiminate them in the process. In the current debates about e.g. evolution you clearly see what happens in wider society if you talk to the 1% "skeptics".

I can only speak for my own religious tradition (Protestantism, Australia) but as the son of a minister and a lifelong churchgoer, I've never seen money come into it. I think the trope about money-hungry evangelists certainly has some truth to it in some parts of Christendom, but when it comes to money the church as a whole really isn't the stereotype that some make it out to be.

Growing up in a church ministry household, the only time I ever heard my father talking about specific individuals and their financial support for the church was in situations such as when someone died and left a bequest they had to sort out. I imagine he probably did get some idea about the generosity or otherwise of some of our parishioners just through knowing them sufficiently well, but I don't think he'd ever let it show.

Of course, if my dad wanted money, he'd have stayed in accounting. As a software engineer, I was earning more only one year out of uni, even with only Australian-level engineer salaries, than he's ever earned at any point in his whole career.

You are right, it’s still there and does periodically make it into the news (eg the U.K. Labour Party is still struggling with anti-semitism this week). https://www.google.co.nz/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/politics/...

The cited persecution of Catholics was and is still undoubtably, but it things happening around the turn of the 20th century in Britain really weren’t of the same nature as what was happening in Russia, not at all.
British weren’t raping and killing Catholics in massive waves of concerted violence with state involvement and approval and that’s exactly what was happening in Russia around that time.
100 years is relatively short time but I definitely argue that a lot has changed and the level of violence is declining. Pinker has some good article on the subject of violence but which notably don’t say anything about violence toward small groups, though say a lot about the larger picture.

> Do a live demo, people love live demo's

It really depends on the topic of the talk. If it's something that can be demonstrated in a quick and straightforward way, do a demo by all means. But I've seen talks where people were forcing a demo into a talk about complicated concepts. There's little value in seeing someone type in a page of code, compile and run. Or seeing something run without understanding what is happening on screen. I would much rather have the speaker spend those minutes discussing the topic.

> Do not use a linux machine

Better advice: make sure you know how to setup an external screen on your laptop and how your presentation software works with it. Try it before hand with an old VGA monitor.

> Create short slides, the slides are there to guide you and the audience. Try to prevent reading the slides out loud.

I would argue that the slides are there for the audience. Ideally, you need to be able to present your talk without seeing your slides. They are not cue cards for the speaker.

Very short slides light on content (e.g. memes, one word or sentence per slide) make for a terrible tech talk in my opinion. Do make your slides informative. They should complement what you are talking about. Show a relevant graph, code snippet, etc. related to what you are talking about. If you can't do that, fall back to a summary of your spoken content in a 3-4 bullet points per slide.
The studios once owned the theaters. That's why you see old "Warner" and "Paramount" theaters in some big cities. That monopoly was broken by an antitrust lawsuit by the Syufy chain, which, among other things, built the domed theaters seen around Silicon Valley.

With antitrust enforcement so weak today, Disney could probably buy theaters. They probably wouldn't. The margins are not very good.

The Marvel Overextended Universe looks tired. Star [Wars|Gate|Trek] has been done to death. Coming up from Disney: another Winnie the Pooh movie, another Wreck-It Ralph movie, another Mary Poppins movie, another Aladdin movie, another Toy Story Movie, another Avengers movie, another Lion King movie, another Frozen movie... Disney used to have an official Crap Sequels Division called Disneytoons, which cranked out Cinderella 2, Lion King 2, Mulan 2, and other direct to the DVD bargain bin products. Disneytoons was supposedly shut down after the Pixar acquisition, but the Disneytoons sequel mania seems to have taken over the company.

It's perhaps worth pointing out, for anyone planning a trip to the UK and suddenly alarmed by our baffling array of dialect terms for bread, that the standard international terms like "bread roll" and "baguette" are absolutely understood by every English speaker in the UK. Even in deepest, darkest Yorkshire you are unlikely to run into difficulties ordering something involving bread unless you really go out of your way to use a dialect term that you genuinely don't understand.

My SO manages a popular bakery chain store down south. Being from Lancastershire when someone asks for a sausage roll she always has to ask for clarification (‘bread or pastry?).
There's one remaining subtlety that I don't see in his comment or in almost any of the comments in this thread, and it's the entire novel point of the paper.

If you give any particular term in the Drake Equation a value of some magnitude, say, P(abiogenesis) < 10^-100, then you're still treating it as a point estimate, and this is the flaw at the heart of all arguments about the Fermi Paradox.

What the authors do instead is give each term of the Drake Equation a range of magnitudes. When you multiply those ranges of magnitudes together, you get a ton of different possible outcomes. If you then look at those outcomes together, you find that in over half of them, we are alone in the universe.

This is the "multivariate probability" that a top comment referred to, that seems to be problematic for a lot of people (including me).

The authors point out that with this approach, even if we nail down the range of probabilities for some of the terms, the uncertainties of the remaining terms will still lead towards a > 40% chance of being alone in the universe.

It's a little bit like: in a poker game, I draw five cards. Each of my cards is a 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. What is the probability that I drew a straight? To calculate that, you'd count the number of different possible card combinations, and then count the number of those combinations that resulted in a straight.

What everyone has been doing previously in this analogy is calculating the odds of drawing each individual card.

In the case of the Drake Equation, using a probability distribution approach to estimating the chances of being alone in the universe leads to a very different result than we expect.

I hope I didn't add to the confusion.
While A'bunadh is great, try Macallan Classic Cut if there is still any in your area. Almost all Macallan is over-hyped and over-priced, but Macallan CC is a fantastic cask strength sherry bomb at around $70-80 that handily beats out A'bunadh (which is saying a lot!)

I'd also recommend Clynelish 14 as an entry level sherried scotch. The Signatory Vintage releases of Clynelish distillate tend to be a bit more ($90-140) but are some of the best scotch money can buy in my opinion.
I mean, we do have active research and treatment vectors involving this, but it's tricky for a few reasons.

One of the nasty ones is that accidentally teaching the immune system to attack the wrong thing is catastrophic, and we don't really have good general ways to undo learned response once present. (Exposure/desensitization therapy works for some things, but is still relatively early in its refinement.) Just look at the fun with the lone star tick and induced red meat allergies, and that's apparently a purely incidental outcome (e.g. it's not obviously a beneficial part of the tick's outcomes from biting things, just a quirk of primate biology not possessing a protein that every other mammal does, and getting upset when it finds it in the bloodstream).

Another example that comes to mind of when this doesn't "just work" is culturing uninfected immune cells from HIV+ patients, teaching them to kill HIV, and then putting them back.

AIUI, this works for a little while, but then it just shows back up again, like it never left. As it turns out, T cells happily share information between each other by making a happy little bridge between the two cells, and HIV is perfectly capable of spreading that way. Womp womp.

If you want to see a really strange immune outcome, go read the recent experiments about graft-versus-host disease potentially wiping out HIV in patients. (It didn't work for two patients in one experiment, so not extremely hopeful about the outcome, but it's a fascinating complex interaction. [1] [2]

I’m friends with André! We work in the same building. He’s been working on that damn hook for some time now. My desk is near a multi story atrium in the building and sometimes he tests the spooling system near me. I can’t recall when he started this part of it but for at least a year now I’ve been hearing of the ups and downs. They have so many little issues to work out and they always want to keep weight down. It’s too bad the article didn’t have any pictures of the prototypes he has, but I guess they’re not ready to reveal that.

André is also responsible for building a pretty awesome jet turbine powered chainsaw. :-D

Re 1) It is useful to keep exploring other means of treatment because at some point you won't have antibiotics left. You want a secondary method that can be deployed instantly once the primary fails. Currently cryptographs are developing Quantum-Computer-resistant cryptographic algorithms not because there is a quantum computer that can crack RSA but because a quantum computer that can is in the not to distant future and if it exists then we need immediate replacement.

Re 2) I don't think that would be a problem considering together with 1 there will simply be a need to develop a quick but reliable method to test for which collection of phages work, probably even develop cocktails of phages for a more broad application. Reducing the amount of antibiotics used would also help reduce the risk of the broad spectrum antibiotic failing because of resistant bacteria.

3) Phages are living things depending on who you ask. Phages are rather simple and will to my knowledge remain viable for a good and long time. Antibiotics may be inert but also have an expiration date, you can't just use an 60yo antibiotic and hope that works. At some point the contents of the antibiotic will have broken down and oxidized.

4)Fair but apparently people have been using it in the Eastern Block for a while with some success. There are some shoulders to stand on and continue R&D.

I feel like live music in general is at a low point right now that I've never seen it at since I started paying attention in the '80s.

I'm in England at the moment, and for the last several years all the band listings I see at bars are for one of the ten thousand "Tribute to the Mildly Popular Band from the 70s/80s". So if I want the Thin Lizzy experience or the Foreigner/Journey experience or the genuine-in-case-you-missed-it-the-first-time Ratt experience, you can get it six nights out of the week because that's all that's playing at every bar in town.

But there are no bands with stupid names playing their own crappy stuff. Even on a Tuesday night. And that's what I miss.
Love this, watched this in my micro bio class ages ago!
It reminds me how many different words for bread and pastry are in the other languages and dialects. In Russian there's famous difference between 'батон' (baton) in Moscow and 'булка' (bulka) and St.Petersburg, but there's also 'шаньга' (shan'ga) to the east of Volga, which would be called 'лепешка' (lepyoshka) in central Russia, and there are lots of others, all sorts of pirogi (pirozhok, belyash, rasstegai, karavai, sochnik, vatrushka...). As Russians say, bread is the head of everything.

In German there are so many varieties of 'brötchen', that it probably can be used instead of GPS for identifying your location. Schrippe, Semmel, Weck and so on, and this should not be a surprise: after all, it is bread that is the main course of German cuisine from Baltic coast to Rhine. Germany has the biggest variety of bread in the world.

The coolest part of it is that this diversity will never cease to exist because of the internet and all of the technology disruptions. People may move from one place to another, bringing their own words and meanings, or share a recipe online under the name that would feel unfamiliar or unusual to a local, but in the end they will always go to the local bakery and buy a bulka or a schrippe, as proud Pitertsy or Berliners.

No there are also scammers targetting buyers. In my case some script outbidding everyone seconds before the end of an auction to reveal bid limits, cancelling the bid, and setting a new bid £1 below the bid limit to max out people’s bids. Ebay support clearly uninterested in curbing this (the account that did that cancelled many other bids in the days after I reported this, having never completed a single transaction). I think their are outright complicit.

Ebay is a scammer nest and I will stay away from it.
