This is the most bullshit I've seen packed into a scientific publication wrapper in quite a while.

Look at this graph:

What?

Why thank you, robo-droid! Very intuitive! I'm putting this on the refrigerator!

I feel like I just accidentally read an algorithmically generated ad-tech article from a chum bucket click-funnel content farm.

Good.

Most social networks are bad for you. They’re deliberately designed to be addictive in pointless ways.

I’d prefer teenagers to be tech savvy individuals who have plenty of face to face skills like conversational skills, curiosity, travel, ability to think, work, play, and plenty of other practical skills such as woodworking etc.

Technology as tool but not as a bubble to live in.
Yes. Front pillars are thicker both for airbags, and also for crush/rollover protection, and rear visibility is bad because the beltline has increased, for crash protection and also for aerodynamics. Basically, cars now are MUCH safer than they were 10-20 years ago with these changes, but like anything, there's a price to pay, and it's visibility.

Luckily, rear cameras and radar sensors give me much better visibility now than I ever had with older cars that had more glass.
The reason GDPR exists is to protect people who do not understand the complicated world of online tracking. If GDPR is effective only when said people are on the front line of defense, than the GDPR has failed.

As a matter of fact, I do complain a lot, and I do file complaints about GDPR violations, but convincing my friends and family to even care about this stuff is science fiction (I've tried for over a decade now without success).
Lex Luthor would like a word with you.
I wonder how dolphins and elephants would compare to human intelligence if they had vocals pathways capable of speaking and limbs capable of grasping.

I think this becomes very evident if you pay attention to the multitude of public Community Meeting (and various other SIG meeting videos). The community has wanted equal standing from the very beginning, and even if Google was stepping down funding, I think it would be an important step in making Kubernetes a fairer community, with no particular company seeming to have more input.

Thats exactly what he says. In the long term it may be huge, but it's not a big trend now.

If we exclude Alaska then about half the coast encompasses Texas through North Carolina. This is also the part of the US coast that is most low lying and will see the greatest encroachment from rising sea levels.
To the Mozillians that follow these threads,

Shame on you for making studies like this opt-out. Look, I get that making it opt-in would reduce your sample size but this kind of thing isn't acceptable for a browser that's supposed to respect the user -- you're literally using dark patterns. Expressed consent should be the standard.

You're targeting Nightly users, the very people who know enough to make an informed decision as to whether they want to participate in the study, please just let us make an informed decision. Have a big modal pop-over when the browser starts, explain the experiment and give the user an unbiased choice -- don't select participate by default, don't make the decline button gray and sad, don't shame the user with the decline button text. I would have been excited to participate.

Resort to air filtering machinery. You can buy a HEPA filter for $100-200. If you drive much, buy a HEPA cabin air filter for your car (https://www.boschautoparts.com/en/auto/filters/hepa-cabin-fi...). Your exposure to particulates while driving is many times higher than while at home.

If money and logistics were not an issue, you might be right about it being the most logical step, but primate research is not something that is largely accessible to most researchers. In any case, a null in rodents tends to put a limit on how out from humans such a neuron goes, and they are cheap to work with.

People have been saying that for decades. After spending 10 years in the 3D graphics and VR industries, I just don't see it happening any time soon. The technology, including Oculus, is certainly getting better but it still sucks. It still makes too many people sick. At this point, I am in the "I'll believe it when I see it" crowd.
> or even an iphone (after getting past the touchscreen).

Indeed. The iPhone's home screen is basically a nicer looking Program Manager. Mac fans laughed at Windows users during the 90s for having only Program and File Manager instead of a human-friendly spatial desktop.

"downvoted for stating basic facts, amazing."

Most people who complain about this just don't want to admit that they're not actually stating basic facts.
People under a certain age (16, 14, don't know the best) shouldn't be legally allowed to use ad-backed social media, or be allowed in stores without parents being present.

Social media being defined as anything with a comment field. Stores being defined as any site that accepts payment or a building that has a cash register.

If you are in a legal class (minor) that says you are not legally allowed to work or be self-sufficient, why are you allowed in a place/website that primarily exists to sell you things or engage with a place/website whose primary business purpose is to expose you to ads in order to sell you things indirectly?
> As young people increasingly reject social media, older generations increasingly embrace it.

This is like Tesla (and other startups generally) do it. Sell it to the rich people to garner attention, and then slowly when you've got enough growth/money/experience, sell it to others.

Teens were the lead users. Old people are just the laggards in social media.

Also, Facebook (in its infancy) used to be the place where cool teens hung out. Now if it's the place where your grand dad hangs out, it isn't so hip anymore. No surprise that teens would prefer dropping off.
> If little Sally runs out into the middle of the road and you cannot avoid her by slamming on the brakes, you were going too fast for conditions.

That's an unreasonable standard. You may be driving too fast for conditions, but being unable to stop in time when something unpredictably enters the roadway is, by itself, neither proof nor definition.

The average stopping distance for a passenger vehicle at 20 mph is 20 feet; to say nothing of a heavily-laden delivery truck. That's not including reaction distance. Sally might step out from behind a van. Or a large branch might fall from a tree. Or the wind might push over a garbage can. A dog may wander onto the interstate. Some accidents are unavoidable by simply applying the brakes, except by forgoing non-ambulatory transportation altogether.
OCR is not easy.
That is what society requires us to do. It's very seldom that you can say and act the way you really feel. I'd argue that every culture/society at the moment has this and requires this of the members, to various degrees and in different manners. It just sounds like it's a whole lot more pronounced/obvious in Japan?

Not that I mind, they're a miracle of a country, based on what they appear to have accomplished in the last half-century or so. Compare that to most other war-torn places or places that have struggled in the past, and maybe you could posit that there is something intrinsically good/effective about their culture. And this particular facet might just be that thing.

Hysterical headline and article.

I'd be surprised if the rise sticks to a linear progression. The ice caps are caught in a feedback loop.
No, they are not the record being referred to here.
Riding without clipless pedals means your feet slip all around and you have to pay more attention to your feet while pedaling. Or you have to use toe-clips, which are a PITA because you have to flip the pedal over to get your toe in.

With clipless pedals, you just mash your foot in and go, and your foot is now in the perfect position and you don't have to think about it. But that transition time is more hazardous than simply having your feet on the pedals all the time.
We have 3 kids and will probably have a go at a 4th next year sometime. Bringing new children into this world is probably the hardest thing you'll ever do. There's no way to be prepared. You just jump into the fire and wing it until you start figuring things out. And it's utterly exhausting for a couple of years. But I can tell you that being a parent is the most meaningful part of my life.

By a long shot.

So I would say this: if you want to live life on easy mode and enjoy all the little pleasures that modern life has to offer, then don't have kids. I say that without judgement; your life is yours to live as you see fit. But if you want meaning, if you want to struggle for something more important than yourself, and if you want to leave something enduring behind when you depart from this world, then have some kids.
How to Make (almost) Anything
God I miss this: http://www.codersnotes.com/notes/the-microsoft-network/msn1_....

So clear! So easy to read! So obvious what things you can click and what things you can't. Compared to this Windows Modern crap where it's not clear what's a button and what's a label, and every app (or part thereof) has its own idea about where things go.
Have your spouse/relative shop around for replacement while you recover. Or be destitute for 10 years after being bankrupted by medical bills. I know which one I'd prefer.

> Most do not have the time or expertise for that, nor would anyone want to do it.

Is that a joke? You can find most of those things with a 30 second Google search. I thought this was a forum with technically apt people?
It's an incredibly patronizing way to give feedback: "Hey, you'd never be able to handle criticism on its own, let me window dress it for you. I assume you'll be stupid enough to never notice"

There are plenty of ways to deliver negative feedback with empathy, in a non-hurtful way. This, however, isn't one of them.
Let's say you have rats and human brain samples and are ready to present a finding. Do you hold off until you find an ape brain, find expertise in dealing with ape brains (if reqiured), deal with IRB issues related to using those materials, run the tests, then publish? Obviously not. You use this preliminary work to run a more definitive series of experiments. This is how science works..as a series of studies, not a single definitive study.

Sorry for the dumb question but I don’t get the link between New Orleans and African children? I’m in the UK, so may be missing some common US knowledge?
And others think that it can fix nothing and should provide no services, while you still pay taxes.

I agree with you thar regulation is not an answer here, however there are places where the government has to step in, things like building regulations etc. and in my opinion single payer healthcare. It should however absolutely not step into a parental role.
Debian golang support library
When Google gives projects back to the comunity like this it usually also means that they will stop investing so many internal resources on them, and will move on to the next product.
I wonder what the "vast majority" is that you mention. For me, with JS off by default, the majority of sites I come across when searching for things are perfectly readable without JS.

The sites that need it are a small whitelist of ones I trust (e.g. the banks a sibling comment mentioned), which I enable.

...That said, a 75MHz RISC-V will be approximately comparable in performance to a 100MHz 486DX4, or a 40MHz Pentium.
Sorry you are getting tired.
I am sure this debate will continue.

Some would view that,
not recognizing Jaime Demor, Brendan Eich as victims of blatant economic prosecution of free speech and political affiliation, -- is being, at least, tone-deaf.

I am sure, that US courts will end up testing , whether this type of organized economic prosecution of Free Speech and political affiliations, is legal or not. Sooner, rather than later.
I read that tide patterns are changing so locally measuring climate sea rise makes no sense yet, as tides superimpose ±8mm

So far you need the global integrate of all changes.
> Google doesn’t say so outright, but it’s fair to assume that it wanted others to shoulder some of the burdens of running the Kubernetes infrastructure, too.

Might be a far fetched, but this might play together with the Commons Clause discussion. Nobody wants to do all the work without being compensated, while others make profits with the work.

I hope the transfer of projects to foundations and other open forums continues, and they are backed by industry leaders making the profits.

It should even go as far as finally paying solo-developers through some fairly devided pool of funds. Everybody wins when libraries are free, openly developed, production ready _and_ financially backed for LTS.
Curious - what age group?
> The article isn't saying Miami will be underwater soon.

I beg to differ, it's the first sentence of the title of the article: “Miami Will Be Underwater Soon. […]”

Then there's, “Barring a stupendous reversal in greenhouse gas emissions, the rising Atlantic will cover much of Miami by the end of this century. The economic effects will be devastating: Zillow Inc. estimates that six feet of sea-level rise would put a quarter of Miami’s homes underwater, rendering $200 billion of real estate worthless.”

I don't know what you're arguing against the GP for. The question is, how are we to figure out how _concerned_ we should be? Clearly one day the good citizens of Miami are not going to be waking up to water lapping at their bedsheets. What timescale are we talking about? Who are Zillow? What options does the city of Miami have? Comparatively speaking is Miami an outlier or a typical case? I think journalists and news outlets do a major disservice to an important topic when they make alarmist headlines and skirt around the practical matters at the heart of articles such as this. The crux of the story, that Miami's freshwater is in peril before Miami's real estate is a valuable story to tell us.

But please spare us the melodramatic, “What nobody knows is when that will happen, or what happens next.”

You mean to say that the people in charge of managing these water systems are standing by dumbfounded and helpless? Maybe we should replace them by people who are able to problem solve in the face of adversity.
The associated study claims that these stones have been seen many times - they are likely to appear about five times per century. The study points out that the causes of droughts have changed. Previous droughts were largely due to a lack of precipitation. The current levels of precipitation is actually as high as it has even been.

The cause of the current drought is record levels of heat. Despite statistically high levels of rain fall, the temperature of the region is so high that the rivers are drying up anyway.
I have read that Europe has less fake MDMA, but regardless everyone should be testing.

From rollsafe.org:

> 87% of “Molly” analyzed by the DEA between 2009 and 2013 contained 0% MDMA, instead mostly containing “bath salts.”

> 46% of Ecstasy tablets analyzed in a study contained 0% MDMA.
And obviously rotate the exposed credentials - because even if it was only public for "a while" it could have been viewed by many users.
Fashion Forward: the world’s first digital super-models and virtual tools
The headline is definitely confusing. I thought it was implying that Google was no longer going to use Kubernetes at all. The first couple of sentences of the article cleared that up, but the title should've been something like "Google hands off Kubernetes development to open source community."
Today, in the US, it's flatly illegal for kids under the age of 12 to be unsupervised in public in many states, including Virginia.

It wasn't like this here when I was growing up.
I don't understand why there is so much negative impression of GDPR. Most businesses do not need to track users; they do it only because they can and it is not forbidden. Let me give you some examples:

- Wikipedia can serve you pages without knowing anything about you

- You can download and use Debian distribution without providing any data about yourself. Microsoft can do the same.

- Internet shops like Amazon or Ebay don't need to track you. They earn money when you buy something and if they delete PII after the order is completed they still have the money. GDPR is not taking them away.

- Google can work just fine without tracking users. They show advertisement in search results, they get paid for it and they don't need to collect everything you have typed to earn profit

- Youtube can show ads and get paid for it to completely anonymous users

- Android and Google Maps don't need to track you. You paid for them when you bought your device, you don't have to pay once more with your data and opt into dubious "help us improve your user experience" scams.

- Netflix gets money from you anyway and doesn't need to track you

- Facebook doesn't need to track you across the web. It can show ads and get paid for it anyway.

Look around. Most of businesses can earn money without collecting any personal information. The ones who can lose because of GDPR are only shady marketing agencies, legal spam conpanies, data brokers and three-letter agencies. I don't feel sorry for any of them.

We should think about better protection of privacy and anonimity rather than worry about profits of Californian corporations wanting to make everyone their product.
We don't remove the brain from someone murdered because they likely didn't give researchers permission to do so. Moreover, to study cells requires some skills not found at the coroner's.
That's a great articulation of one way to view the issue, thanks!

I'd love to hear from people across the political spectrum as to whether or not your model seems accurate w.r.t. their own personal views on the subject.

I.e., not whether or not they think your model accurately describes the people with whom they disagree on this topic. Just whether or not they feel it accurately captures their own view.
NCSA had a VR program in the early ‘90’s, and SGI used to demo the Onyx minicomputer with an Apache helicopter simulator on three screens.

Twenty years later people demo slightly cooler things and are disappointed when I’m not excited. I’ve already seen this future. Wake me up when it gets here!
>As someone who believes that developing ourselves comes from the traditional hard work of life and spiritual development (or whatever you may call it) with no quick fixes, I find the prospect surprisingly compelling.

Sure it's fun and stuff, but it is literally stuff like this that makes higher ups think "Why are you taking so long for a form? I can have an AI do it for me!" And then you have to spend time explaining that you have to consider responsiveness, internationalisation, error handling, oh... and there is of course what sits behind the form, all the back code that actually records all this information, error checks it, etc etc...
True. And some scientists believe that rate is accelerating, for example Steve Nerem et al:

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/02/180212150739.h...

That accelerating projection "has the potential to double the total sea level rise by 2100 as compared to projections that assume a constant rate -- to more than 60 cm instead of about 30".

Two feet instead of one. I still don't see where six feet is coming from.
We gave this project to CNCF years ago, and Google is still pretty heavily invested in Kubernetes. :)

This is the end of the last vestige of exclusive control.
If I were a company I would target America first and Asia second. Due to increasing regulations, political uncertainty and lack of growth I'd shift the EU to third (it used to be an obvious second to me).
There's nothing dangerous about stopping, I do it all the time and have never fallen. Cyclists who lack the skills to ride with clipless pedals just shouldn't use them. Or at least switch to something like Speedplay which make it easier to clip in and out.
I doubt you can set the temp control in a car to 100F. Unless you are in a sauna, no one is ever going to want to have that high a temp.
