Even in places where a warmer climate might seem to give some positives, for example where I live in interior Canada, with warmer and longer growing seasons in a typically cold climate, it is hard to overstate some consequences of such a change. One thing that is already happening is the massive increase in wildfires during the summer months, and the unpredictable weather and storms. Another example would be the mountain pine beetle, because of warmer winters it is starting to decimate North American forests. Everything is interconnected in the environment, and small changes can have large effects.

Climate change is going to be a net negative for almost all humankind and life on the planet, even for those places where you think on the surface it might have a positive effect.
The article said the last such inversion preceded the recession by 28 months.

It's amazing how much the rich have regulatorily captured the government of CA. It'll take a long time to remove all of the unfair laws like this.

Similar trends are present in e.g. Sweden and France where the depiction of beautiful women in ads is now a socio-political problem.

I don't think that's a "similar" trend. One can be encourage the display and appreciation of the nude form without agreeing with its commercial exploitation.
But it's not just the bond market in isolation that is relevant, it's the possibility that money moving into longer term notes could mean that people are making bets that nothing in the overall market will yield more than the long term debt instruments.
Inverted yield curves mean that interest rates are expected to fall. Interest rates falling mean that (a) demand for money is falling and/or (b) supply of money is rising. In economic recessions, the demand for money often falls and the supply of money often grows. Therefore, an inverted yield curve indicates an increased forecast of recession chances over the next few years.

(I am not an expert and could be wrong.)
MetaFilter has a built-in user preference for this, so that you simply see “has favorites”. It’s really nice.
Sure, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that the probability of the longer spreads inverting based on this is nowhere near 100%. A tiny amount of good news in the market tomorrow will probably reverse this short term spread inversion. Bad news will likely make it worse, but it's not really at a level yet where it's indicating much yet imo.

White House seeks to end subsidies for electric cars, renewables
This was corrected above, but for those who are interested:
For bonds, yield and price are inversely related.

Buying a bond means you are lending money now, in return for more money later. The amount you get later is made up of the price you pay now plus the interest, ie the yield. So if the yield goes up, the price goes down. (You don't have to pay as much for a bond when the yield goes up).
The issue is that it's often possible to stretch the category "attacks" to encompass to useful arguments, if you're motivated to do so. This becomes a mechanism to shut down discussion, ultimately weakening the conversation, leading to groupthink conclusions and boring echo chambers.

E.g. Imagine someone posts (in a context where it's on-topic), "Research [0] has shown that Trump supporters have significantly greater racism than Trump resisters." We can easily see how that statement can be interpreted as an "attack on a group". A pro-Trump forum may flag it to death. Yet assuming there is a good-faith effort to link valid science there, it's also an on-topic scientific result that advances discussion.

Rational, valid, discussion-advancing points can also be easily interpreted as "attacks on a group". However, just because something pattern matches as an "attack on a group", one should not discount it (assuming one values rational discussion itself, which I do). Because it may be a necessary part of the discussion.

--

Appendix: (Of course I don't think a statement about Trump supporters would get flagged here, not because of the form of the statement but because of who is being discussed. Imagine the statement is changed to any of a million ideas or science papers which step outside the very narrow corridor of acceptable beliefs in the San Francisco morality. I use the Trump supporter example to give some perspective of how it might feel to be on the side who thinks a statement is valuable and on-topic, but be slagged by the local majority as making an "attack". And there really is no other way to get those facts into the discussion; it's not a matter of wording or good faith, it's the notion that some facts and ideas are simply not allowed.)
Posting this link as a perfect example of politicians employing the 4 horsemen of the infocalyspe to expand police / security powers.

The both parties in Australian politics ultimately support this bill. But the opposite wish to pass it limiting its scope to terrorism offences and child sex offences.

Why child sex offences are included in a bill being loudly promoted as for national security... That alone is a blatant over reach.

But the key issue is: The government is up in arms claiming it’s about “the national security of Australians who face terrorist attacks”. And that the oppositions requests to have the bill limited to terrorism offences is somehow against national security.

> I think you pulled this card to win the "consistent" argument

Actually, if you look at all the comments I've been making in response to my initial comment, the parent of the thread, I've been talking about accessibility the entire time, especially for visually impaired.

For the visually impaired and those with motor skills impairments, it's fairly easy to overshoot where the floating palette appears. If you shoot too far up, it disappears; it doesn't reappear when the mouse comes back to where the palette was, the text needs reselecting.

That's my main inconsistency.

> (B) don't always automatically change to the appropriate tab;
> They do

I stand corrected in one respect, but we still have inconsistent behaviour. Say you create a table, the Ribbon will change to Table Tools. Great.

Click away from the table and then click back. Still on the Home tab. Well, this makes sense since you're probably editing text — but again, that just reinforces my belief that those tools should be in a separate toolbar (à la Office 2003 and prior).

> What's confusing about this? It shows a header "table tools" so the purpose is clear

The technically minded may figure it out, but ordinary users have to rote learn what the tabs do. As an example, Table Tools shows two subtabs, Design and Layout.

Do you think you could get Sheila from accounting or Bob from packing to tell me the difference between the two tabs, or how the two Design tabs differ, without letting them click around the interface? I doubt it.

When there are two context-sensitive tabs shown, and they're both heavily related, you can almost bet money that an ordinary user, Sheila from accounting or Bob at reception, is going to cycle between the two tabs to find what they're looking for. This isn't intuitive.

> Note: I'm not saying this is the best interface there is, merely that it's not as inconsistent as you depict

That isn't high praise. A user interface shouldn't be inconsistent at all, especially the flagship product of a multi-billion dollar company, and especially the de facto standard in productivity software.

People are fearful of inverted curves because it means the market is pricing in a predicted recession. Of course, that does not mean that a recession WILL happen, just that it's the current market expectation.

During recession scenarios, the Fed cuts interest rates to facilitate borrowing and inject more capital into the economy. So a lower 5yr rate means the market is expecting a more aggressive monetary policy in 2023
"A 5-year bond now has a lower yield than a 3-year bond? How is that even possible? Wouldn't anyone who wants a 5-year bond just buy a 3-year bond and then put the cash under their mattress after 3 years?"

Your confusion is precisely why it's a bad thing. Ideally, longer-term bonds have a higher yield, as that would mean we collectively are investing in high growth over a long period of time. That is, the economy grows.

When the inversion happens, then the short-term bonds have a higher yield, which means something is wrong with the economy in the long term. We don't know what's wrong with it, it's just a signal.

Seeing as everyone seems to agree the whole point (if we're being real) of Tumblr is adult content, that there's at least some acknowledgement that there's real societal value in having a safe space for various kinds of healthy adult sexual kinks that are non-mainstream, and that with this move Tumblr will surely pull a Digg and probably disappear for all intents and purposes...

...why isn't Verizon managing to sell it to someone who wants to support that, instead of effectively shutting it down? Financially it doesn't make sense to me. If free porn sites make money, I really don't see how a porn-embracing Tumblr wouldn't do the same?

Or just split the site in two automatically based on analysis of each account's contents, decide whether the "Tumblr" brand is more valuable for clean content or adult content, and sell off the adult side with or without the name. Sure splitting a site isn't technically the easiest thing, but I can't believe it wouldn't still make sense financially.

Banning this much content seems like literally burning piles of money and just destroying value. Whatever happened to stockholder value... for real? How can a board approve this, or allow it to happen? Looking it up now, MindGeek owns PornHub and so many other sites... surely it would fit perfectly in their portfolio?

> In technology the ability to do something absolutely is the right to so do unless you have already agreed otherwise.

That's just plain wrong. There's nothing special about technology that means you get to throw all your existing moral principles out the window. The ability to technically do something does not confer you the right do it, either legally or morally.

Maybe if I draw an analogy to patents it might make sense? It seems most people in technology agree that taking something unpatentable and adding "do it on a computer" shouldn't make it patentable. Morality is no different. Taking something immoral, like taking someone else's intellectual property without paying for it, and saying "but do it on a computer" doesn't suddenly make it moral. Taking someone else's IP isn't immoral because you're depriving them of the paper it's printed on (that part is just petty theft), it's immoral because you're depriving them of the right to control the distribution of their IP and the right to get compensated for the work they did in exchange for giving you the right to use the IP.
Of course. Although this begs the inverse question: are there any long-gone heralded geniuses of literature who actually just wrote crap? I doubt it.

Abstaining from meat isn't a new thing though. In many historical cultures banning meat from certain groups was enforced as an indication of status for those that were allowed.

This is suspected to be part of the reason for the neotenic expression of blond hair and blue eyes that emerged in Scandinavians, as you would normally get enough vitamin D from meat sources, so the evolutionary pressure for very fair skin is presumed to have come from the lower strata of society trying to live off grains and other vegetables while getting very little sunlight.
It would be survivorship bias if we assumed, based on the old books we have, that all old books on average were better than modern books. I don't think that's the argument being made here.

Even taking conventional rail tens of miles outside a major city to ride a rocket will overall be faster than conventional air travel. I believe the SpaceX proposal for intercontinental travel involves a ferry boat to a floating launch pad and they don't need thousands of miles of safety buffer.

I don't think the BFR will deliberately land at ballistic speeds because it would kill all the passengers. Local authorities would have plenty of chances to monitor the reentering vehicles. We fly airplanes the size of strategic bombers to China constantly and there don't seem to be any problems.

Yeah, I've been following with keen eyes Mozilla's efforts in the space. I really like that they are experimenting with it, and I really hope them success, or at least to continue to take risks and experiment with it, but also due to the nature of the experiments to date there hasn't yet been a case where I'd swap my existing profiles for container tabs (even with the headaches of maintaining -ProfileManager launch shortcuts and remembering when I need to --no-remote or use weirder workarounds/shortcuts to get things launched properly).

In migrating the primary container tab UI into an extension, Mozilla seems committed to at least providing the functionality as a long term extension API. So I don't expect the feature to be scrapped at this point; maybe just to remain rather anemic "out of the box" for the time being as Mozilla iterates on its extension. That has me curious if there's a good power user-focused extension already to meet my profile needs (or how hard it would be to build one), but so far that's only been an idle curiosity.
