Depends on the mode the satellite is operating in. Typically: a full disk image every 15 minutes, the continental USA every 5 minutes, and two selected "mesoscale" regions (they will move around based on interesting events) every minute or even 30 seconds. Not all these products are relayed through this downlink though. On HRIT you'll find a full disk image across 7 different spectral bands every 30 minutes, and mesoscale images across 3 different spectral bands every 15 minutes.

Next to this data, it also contains relayed images from GOES-15 (GOES-West), Himawari-8, EMWIN data, and NWS forecasts and plots.

Yeah I feel the same. The Sam&Max titles by telltale are wild. There's weird shit going on in these games, especially later on.

However, after the walking dead, the walking dead, wolf among us, minecraft story mode... they kinda feels the same. And as you say, the games are not a divergent graph like witcher 3 or the avenged is. It's more of a fork/join graph, with very low distance from fork to join.

From there, I had no interest in their other games, tbh. I bought Minecraft Story mode entirely because I like Petra, but that's about it.

> As Google does not censor conservative content...

There are certainly many anecdotal complaints about Google censoring or demonetizing conservatives on YouTube.

There have been a few notable instances where Google has promoted incendiary content against conservatives in their search results “answers” — although those cases seemed to algorithms picking up tainted UGC. [1]

Also anecdotally, Google News seems to present a highly scewed viewpoint (browsing logged off with no cookies, only inferred location from IP).

I’m not aware of rigorous studies, but by no means would I take it as a foregone conclusion that Google is not censoring conservative content.

[1] - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trudy-wade-google-search-result...
>Who would ever want these companies with hundreds of millions to a billion+ users to be allowed to censor other than complying with local laws?

Because local laws are about creating level playing fields, not quality control.

A billion-user for-profit organization is going to optimize value for their billion users, not for their re-election campaign. This is why we have the first amendment.
I've heard that if a page is banned for impersonation or copyright infringement, etc, the likes are 'transferred' to the 'real' page.

I don't think this argument is warranted. Corporate structure varies wildly among companies, especially among tech companies. You're right that General Counsel (here called Chief Legal Officer) isn't traditionally seen as on par with a C suite executive, but it may make sense for Google to send him especially if government affairs are handled by his reporting chain. By the way, I've never heard of PR being referred to as Global Affairs. In my experience that's typically a euphemism for a company's lobbying arm, which in this case would make a lot of sense, don't you think? PR at Google seems to be called "Communications" which is fairly standard in the Valley.
It's very possible he had other things already lined up that weren't easily changeable.

That alone would piss off any congressman/senator. Pretty sure anyone telling US Congress/Senate that "I can't show up because I have something more important lined up" is making a big mistake.

This is the lawmakers whose ego is rarely matched...
Couldn't it be argued that a design without these unintereuptable states artificially constrains the user (of the driver) by preventing them from entering a state where all signals are blocked?

Not saying these should be the primary considerations, but I don't really understand how "don't artificially constrain the user" can be a consistent design principle...

> I would like a source to read more about this. I don't distrust you. I'm genuinely interested in reading more about this.

Sorry, I don't have a source. Epigenetic changes in somatic cells (all the cells in your body except for your sperm or egg cells) are common and necessary for the differentiation that takes place as cells divide and multiply to create a growing organism. But epigenetic inheritance is rare, because epigenetic changes can only be inherited if they somehow change the DNA in germ line cells (sperm or eggs). There just aren't many plausible ways for stuff that happens in the environment to modify the DNA in sperm or eggs. The most plausible way would be for some sort of systemic stress. And, IIRC, one of the only known instances of epigenetic inheritance was a result of starvation.

But, more generally, epigenetic inheritance has to be rare. Evolution is a balancing act. On the one hand you need some mutation, because otherwise there is no variation against which natural selection can act. But on the other hand, you need to limit the amount of mutation so that beneficial genes can persist through time (otherwise they cease to be beneficial), and so that the crazy house of cards that is a developing organism doesn't collapse.

If you know anything about how complex organisms work, it's absolutely insane. There is almost none of the abstraction and encapsulation that we use in engineering to manage complexity. Instead, everything effects everything else. Evolution is like building a computer program by mutating individual bits in a binary program. If you play that out in a massively parallel fashion over billions of iterations, you can get some programs that do really cool stuff.

But they would be incredibly brittle. It would be incredibly easy to crash the whole thing by mutating the wrong bit. And these types of catastrophic mutations seem pretty common in complex organisms. Among humans, the miscarriage rate is 30%-50% (according to Wikipedia; look up the Miscarriage article). A significant number of those are believed to be caused by the female rejecting the fetus because of defects of some kind.

All of this is a long way of saying that it's simply not believable that there is some process which is introducing significant mutation into the reproductive process.

I'd add, if you're a young blood without a lot of money but want a performance vehicle, you buy a motorcycle. So maybe quite a bit of self-selection for accidents.
This goes a step further and could offer an architecture-neutral kernel space. If part of loading the module includes validation and external memory access is checked as in browser implementations this could even lead to safer/less exploitable kernel modules with more well-defined failure modes.

An employee can be laid off if he agrees to it but that's not like firing because it needs an agreement. I am not sure if the OP is talking about that.

It's possible to fire people without justification and the company will be brought to court. There is a new law from Macron that caps the damages the employee can get to pretty much nothing when he only has a few years of tenure or less. You could provision for a few months of salary.

Anyone have time to create a plugin mapping site?

That was the only hangup I had to move over to Firefox.

Most things work on Firefox, or there's a similar plugin.

Still looking for a few:

* Flix Assist - Chrome Web Store || https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/flix-assist/jeeccn...

* WhatFont - Chrome Web Store || https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/whatfont/jabopobgc...

And... Lighthouse.

A few of the plugins I used on Chrome don't quite have perfect matches...

* Create Link - Chrome Web Store || https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/create-link/gcmghd... -- haven't found a Firefox addon that lets me copy URL + Title via keyboard shortcut.

Also looking for a way to change Firefox's default Apple + Shift + 5 to not try and take a Firefox screenshot, as Apple + Shift + 5 is my Skitch shortcut.

Google does not have a monopoly. Market dominance with accessible competition != monopoly. Having a consumer preferred or superior product != monopoly.

>I don’t think that’s universally accepted. I think trees are conscious and they have no brain.

I don't think consciousness of trees is accepted by nearly anyone. But even if any trees were conscious, I don't see how it helps your argument at all.

>I think the brain does create an illusion that other things are not conscious. It tricks us into thinking our own consciousnesses are distinct from the rest of consciousness.

Yes, but consciousness of animals doesn't really mean anything here. If anything, it's a point in favor of the opposite side: that consciousness really isn't very special.

>It’s possible such a thing already exists. We have ancient stories about it. If it were true it would be very difficult to detect.

Many things are possible. We have ancient stories about many of them. If they were true they would be very difficult to detect. That's why the basic scientific principle is falsifiability.

>If the universe is a simulation then it seems extremely unlikely that consciousnesses would never be read, just operating until they get eaten by the 2nd law.

I don't agree. If the universe is a simulation then they could be read, but they don't have to be, and I don't think it's extremely unlikely that they wouldn't be. If it's a very "raw" or "real" simulation with no interference, they could very well just dissipate into nothing.

Assuming it is a simulation, what happens when you get shot in the head and lose brain function? Where is your consciousness at that moment? Is there a pre-damage backup somewhere? When was the backup taken? If backups are taken every instant or otherwise very infrequently, which one is the "real" state after you die? The one from right before the damage occurred? Something picked at random? If there is no backup needed because there is instead just some outside extra-dimensional consciousness "force" or "energy" existing since long ago, what is that thing doing exactly when you suffer from a brain injury? Does it just "stop working" in or "lose connection" to those parts of the brain? What is it doing when we're children?

I think even if we're in a simulation where nearly all living things are conscious, the chances of some kind of post-death experience is still basically zero.
Because the bias isn't as obvious. If one of the media majors is pushing for something political that is known and sorta expected. Anyone who cares knows that your choice of media source is potentially politically motivated.

When I browse through a blog post that speaks positively of a product, I know there is a pretty decent (double-digit percentages) chance that it is a well disguised paid ad. I can at least try to factor that in to my decision making.

Now with Google there is very much an assumption that they have an algorithm that applies some linear or non-linear math and comes up with a rating, sans some by-hand filtering for pornography and some other stuff that should be non-controversial to 80% of the population. If that assumption is wrong, government absolutely has a role to step in and expose that.

I counter that it doesn't work for a lot of other people, particularly the young and single. Pickup times are during working hours or social hours. There are seriously people who excused themselves from social functions because their rubbish is collected at 7:30 pm.

Recycling is only collected twice a week. Oh, you want to study Chinese? Sorry, the class is the same time as your rubbish collection. Or you've got to be home on Saturday. There is nowhere available to take rubbish and just leave it there.

It causes arguments between housemates. When my girlfriend complained "Why did you put the used bendon box/bubble tea cup/etc in the regular rubbish?" and I suggested that it was my housemate, it started a terrible argument. When she caught my CouchSurfing guests not using soap to wash the oil out of a tin of tuna, she wouldn't talk to me for 3 days and refused to let me have guests again.

If you want to throw away broken glass, and put the pieces inside a cereal box for safety, the rubbish collectors will yell at you for throwing it in non-recycling. The only real solution is to throw everything into the regular truck, run away fast, and never admit it to your girlfriend.

There is a big philosophical and legal difference between a population of companies each executing editorial/moderating power over content published on their own platforms and a central government doing the same thing over arbitrary content on arbitrary platforms.

Who is doing the editing is extremely important. If a newspaper declines to publish a white supremacist screed in their op-ed column, that is not censorship. The screeching racist can always try and publish somewhere else, or publish themselves (online or in print), or yell in the streets. But if the government intervenes and tries to force/prevent any of those things from happening, that's censorship and it's unconstitutional. Completely different ballgame. It drives me up the wall that people think those cases are "equivalent".

If you want to delete all cookies and site data, go to the "All cookies and site data" page in settings (chrome://settings/siteData) and click delete all. This also deletes Google cookies.

If you just want to browse without your existing cookies, I suggest opening a Guest Window. Just open the "Current User" menu and then "Open Guest window". That way you don't have to delete them at the end.

This is assuming you're in good faith trying to delete cookies, and just can't figure out how.
On the surface level, sure. However, it's mostly just a lower abstraction way of accessing largely the same JIT. I'm pretty sure browsers supporting WebAssembly are doing so by reusing most of what they already have. And if you dig deeper, this was almost certainly inspired by tools like Emscripten and the Asm.js concept. After all, Asm.js accomplished a similar goal to WebAssembly, at the end of the day; Wasm is a cleaner, higher performance, less backwards compatible way of doing largely the same thing.

JS already unhinged from the browser pretty thoroughly. I think when it comes to Wasm it's almost as much about what it doesn't have as what it does have. Lack of DOM bindings and a GC make it much more suitable for hosting in more environments like the kernel.

This kind of comment is exactly what we're referring to. I'm sorry to be blunt, but it's so false that I wonder if it's a parody. SF's government is one of the most left wing of the entire country.

Almost third of the debt is intergovernmental holdings, another ten percent is owned by the Federal Reserve who makes profit payments to Treasury. So basically 40% of the debt is internal debt and interest payments go back to the the government.

there's a lawyer filing a case soon for a woman that lived with her fiance for over 10 years...never married, and they had a quid pro quo sexual relationship...she paid most bills, no rent though, and lived/appeared as if married to him everywhere, but were not in fact married. The lawyer pursuing it says this type of case is almost always ruled in favor of 'common law' marriage. She got shafted by him for another woman and was left out in the cold w/out any money after having spent a considerable amount of her own time and money w/this POS. Now she's suing and will win half the increase of the house he owns and they lived in. I'll let you know of the disposition of the case.

So yes, he/she consented to common law marriage.

This is from a lawyer. Are you a lawyer by chance?
