I have a serious hard time marking progress in the modern 'science' field.

There are too many people afraid of Industry, so they get a PhD, and to graduate a PhD you need to prove you are correct.

That means too often finding 'conclusions' in 'data' that you 'studied'. The incentive system in science is warping the scientific method to proving your idea by any means necessary. This is not an opinion, its been documented that many PhD studies could not be replicated. (psychology is particularly bad)

In Industry, this isnt true. If it doesnt work, your customer knows. Industry is my indicator of progress. There is no lying about data or stretching conclusions. When you leave the math of chemistry, these conclusions become more and more opinionated.
I thought this was going to be about the infamous AWS Service Health Dashboard[1] icons.

Would be cool to do a similar quiz describing different failure modes of various services and having the user select which icon should be showing.

This is great though!

don't be mad. This is exactly what a canary is for.
Glacier and Snowball were both the internal code names for the products pre-launch, and only ever intended to be such.

When things came close to launch, AWS Marketing decided to just roll with those code names. I've a suspicion that some teams deliberately used copyrighted names for their internal pre-launch project names, just to force the matter.
> You wouldn't want your heart,brain,etc operation to be in the hands of someone who isn't that talented but keeps on trying.

I dunno... I can't imagine any of the surgeons or doctors I've seen have been top of their class, at the #1 school in the country. Probably not even top 10. I've probably seen a lot of just average doctors, who probably did an average job at school, and now are pretty average as far as pure talent goes. But I'm still alive, so I guess it's not that bad.

Startup headed by an ex-Facebook/Oculus exec, https://www.cnet.com/news/telepathy-openwater-mary-lou-jepse...

"I think we're talking about less than a decade, probably eight years until telepathy." The details of exactly how all this will work are a little murky, and Openwater says it needs to file for patents before it will publish a peer reviewed proof of feasibility and eventually launch a product. But Jepsen, who has also spent time at Google X, MIT and Intel, says the basic idea is to shrink down the huge MRI machines found in medical hospitals into flexible LCDs that can be embedded in a ski hat and use infrared light to see what's going on in your brain. "Literally a thinking cap," Jepsen explains."
"You can't take a rocket to India and you can't manufacturer that rocket in India (Skilset, US based corporation, ITAR) so you can't achieve your savings that way."

Out of curiosity -- can they _fly_ a rocket to India (maybe have a booster return to India instead of a drone ship ? Too far/out of the way ?

That may not help much since stage 2 would still have to be shipped around, which is probably not cost effective, and there might be other regulations that make it infeasible to launch anywhere but in the USA.

Even though you think you're ready, you may still need some down time. Find some way to disconnect completely from your daily responsibilities for a weekend or even a whole week to sleep, eat, and reflect.

If down time isn't working for you, you may need to start permanently removing or changing unpleasant things in your life. This can take a lot of creativity and out-of-the-box thinking and therapy can help here.

I like CNN a lot more than InfoWars, but there's a few instances - the Trump fish feeding video editing incident, and claiming the Obama admin rep said they didn't seperate children when they just recorded him doing so - where CNN has deliberately and demonstrably lied / misrepresented the truth. Would you support banning them? FB has a strong 'anti fake news' stance.

Jones is an asshole, but we should have specific ToS violations, not "we banned you because we've decided glorifying violence is the same as graphic violence now" (which, logically, it is not) and then apply them consistently.

We currently have people seeming banning anything they don't like, and allowing ToS violations by people they do like (not just on FB, but also Twitter recently).

FB should have said: "we're taking action because we believe your video on this date harassed the Sandy Hook survivors". And they should punish fake news wherever they see it, in the same way Twitter should punish racist trolls.

It's a shame this is getting downvoted because it's a good point, and the very same can be said about late night comedians and their "I'm just a comedian bro, you expect me to be accurate and consistent, lol" bits on the news of the day. These things do have an effect on perception of reality.
i dont understand. you completely omit laws in your suggested solution. we need to pass laws that prevent businesses from fucking everything up worse than they already have. you can innovate all you want, but i think you should also not elect people who are fucking STUPID about climate change.
It appears this was related to CSS variable support.

Typora's themes use CSS3 variables which aren't supported in IE and weren't supported in Edge until more recently. I tried on Edge 42 (EdgeHTML 17) when I said the background colour displayed correctly. Perhaps you're using an older version of Edge (the version is displayed at the bottom of the settings panel).

In any case, I've added CSS to set the background colour without using CSS variables. It now shows correctly for me in IE 11 too.

Thanks for letting us know.
I agree with you, as it also implies that we can shift the blame one else.

There is no conclusive proof. Likely climate change is a factor, but forest management practices are as well. I can recall reading that not allowing forest fires to occur in the past can lead to an increase in dead plant matter on the ground, which makes future forest fires worse.
> I might be uneducated about the issue as a whole, but I don't really see the negative side to this service.

Two negatives:

(1) its worse than what they've gotten existing customers used to, and

(2) if they weren't able to capture enough of the market with the old deal to bring theaters to the table, they certainly won't with the new deal, which is still unsustainable without that leverage.

They'll die more slowly this way, but it's not a route to a viable service.
No, I think he is smart enough to avoid making statements around depreciating CAP theorem. He actually emphasizes repeatedly the trilemma of blockchain networks with the factors scalability, security and decentralization and talking about that this would bending physics if it could be realized.

I think it is very important for Ethereum to research other consensus mechanism as an alternative for Pow. Otherwise it will be the bottleneck if it wants to realize the vision around "worldwide computer".

Vitalik has statements related to usefulness of use cases around private/permissioned blockchain networks. I think that will be only useful if combined with a layer 1 network which is public.
Since none of this has been tested in court, the subsequent statements could be insurance on their part to avoid a bad outcome. Conceivably a prosecutor could argue that by removing the canary, they've published one bit of information in violation of the gag order. By publishing a bunch of excuses for their action, they give a jury reason to disagree.
A large part of it is that it is a collective action problem. If you want to talk about "effective action"? You're talking about shutting down coal plants, not going after the man or woman on the street. A person needing a car to get to work is, both in real and proportional terms, causing overwhelmingly less damage to the environment than industrial-scale polluters. If everybody who could switch to a bike instead of a car (which is fewer people, at least in America, than you might realize), you would see a blip on the graph.

Calling into question the sincerity of people concerned about climate change but also concerned about actually getting to work on time and not stinking and getting fired because their bosses don't care is just some nasty, uncharitable stuff. And it's also counterproductive. It's the "but Al Gore flies in jets!" thing all over again, discrediting what state actors need to be doing because of the actions of private citizens. Don't do that. It's bad for you and bad for us.
The vast majority just want their cat memes and will actively avoid anything involving real politics that aren't essentially outrage porn.
I’m not underselling my talent - that’s how i can afford it. But I also know that it isn’t that special, so I basically think other people are underselling themselves, or unwilling to take the risk.

After 10 years of working as an average programmer for average companies, lots of big clients or governments will consider you for "temporary" roles, which pay very well but give no security. Maybe it takes 100 applications and interacting with recruiters but the opportunity is there.

You can configure the top bar in the AWS console to show icons only, but that would be madness. (I usually do the opposite and have it show no icons and only text.)
Lots of vividly-colored text is hard to read and makes a pretty bad interface, too. Also, apparently the whole quiz is kinda' moot - here's how my console looks now: https://imgur.com/n9Ohtri (apparently they moved to "one icon per service category").

Omega-3 for Health: What the Latest Research Shows
well, the enemy is clearly those of us who decided its a hoax, or that it doesn't matter.
I wasn't implying that 150 miles was a day trip when Stonehenge was built. I was questioning more why the distance was significant in the original title.

Assuming the bodies were brought from Wales, 150 miles wouldn't be a remarkable distance to transport a body. I say that because the stones in Stonehenge came from Wales and are orders of magnitude more difficult to transport than a body would have been. And that's assuming these are people who died in Wales when it's entirely possible these might have been the people moving the stones or constructing the monument who died on site.

On the other hand, people in the UK today seem to make a much bigger deal about travel distances than people from other countries.
One thing I am struggling to understand is why MoviePass is paying theaters full price for tickets, essentially needing to take on the same economics as an insurance company.

If I'm a theater, I'm incentivized to put butts in seats and make my markup on concessions. If MoviePass is helping to put lots of butts in otherwise empty seats, I imagine I'd be willing to provide tickets to MoviePass at a discounted rate. I'm not sure how much that helps MoviePass's bottom line, but my initial guess is that it would be nontrivial.

What don't I understand about the incentives and economics here?
> More generally, not all bad behavior is or should be illegal.

Apple hasn't said (that I know of) that Infowars speech is illegal. Merely that they want no part of it.

>The fact that the first amendment only legally applies to the government does not mean that free speech as a concept doesn't have moral force on other organizations.

Morals differ between organizations and individuals (just ask any church, the supposed arbiters of morals). Morals are relative to groups and individuals because they are created without/despite the input of other groups and individuals. If there were an absolute moral authority (which would obviate the need for other sets of morals) then perhaps this might be different.

All of this to say: good riddance to bad rubbish. His followers may feel differently, but to Hell with them, too.

> the individual perspective

I see your side more clearly now. You are correct that I was thinking more along the social unity side. Not sure I'd say I agree completely with you, but I see where I was mistaken before.

On the individual note, is it that persistence wins, or that the win is felt with the inevitable mental compromise taken in order to feel one has succeeded? I do see that it's better to try and fail than never try at all, just feel it's 'elitist' to think that persistence wins, as only the wealthy can really persevere. In my mind anyway.
I think the parent might be arguing that this should all be government-run/funded, like in European social democracies. Tech has been increasingly moving into middleman spaces like health insurance, which only exacerbates the problem.

privatization won't fix the problems that privatization caused.

likewise, our society can't use software alone to solve our socioeconomic problems.

note: this is not because software is incapable of being part of the solution. far from it. but software is not about to rectify these issues without a political will to do so, which is separate.
Trying to link individual, recent news events to climate change is generally a bad idea. You're taking a long term term trend (climate change) and comparing it with short term extreme events - there may or may not be a direct link, it's hard to say.

This makes it easy for climate change deniers to give cherrypicked examples of outliers that tune to emotional responses, rather than factual evidence.

It's better to look at overall trends over time to see the impact of climate change, e.g. are we getting more of the extreme weather scenarios? Yes. Are temperatures globally going up? Yes. Are sea levels rising? Yes. Are the polar ice caps melting? Yes. etc.
> but i think you should also not elect people who are fucking STUPID about climate change.

No, the comparison doesn’t work. Gyms count on going to the gym being something people have to force themselves to do, and so often fail to do so. Seeing movies is different: it’s a fun activity people want to do.
Is there even a "war" against climate change? If there is, it's barely gotten started.

For the most part, politicians are at best apathetic and at worst, actively hostile to the idea of "fighting" such a war.
This is hard. Like, really hard. It definitely needs to be done, but it takes tens, hundreds really, of millions of dollars and a vast network of candidates who can run for office and win (US-specific outlook).

Whereas driving coal and natural gas out of the generation mix is "as easy" as getting PPAs signed with electrical consumers and getting solar and wind installed as fast as possible. You don't need to convince people in this case, as the actors (large corporations and utilities) are economically rational (cheap renewables->huge cost savings->yes please kthx).
