Almost certainly. Joseph Priestly, the discoverer of oxygen, was a confirmed phlogistonist. He even called oxygen "de-phlogisticated air". The reason oxygen theory wasn't developed sooner was technological limitations, not intellectual ones: scientists simply didn't have any way of preparing pure oxygen to experiment on before Priestly.

(FYI, I just happen to know all this because I'm in the middle of preparing a series of lectures on the history of science, and I just finished the segment on the atomic theory. It's a really fascinating story.)
> I'm sorry, but this is crap.

I agree with your sentiment that on by default should be the standard. However, it isn't. The standard is specific and it says it should be off by default.

The standard was designed to be completely toothless and the advertising industry still tried to water it down. There's no enforcement mechanism and nothing that says what it means to comply.

If you want something with teeth, try the EFF's pseudo-standard for DNT: https://github.com/EFForg/dnt-guide

Maybe a better approach is to take an existing language and build a DSL for it

That's not my point. You can't judge China's actions towards a situation that you don't face. It doesn't help that the US completely failed in their treatment of Native Americans. It's comfortable to believe that modern day America is more enlightened, but do you really think that's the case? Hundreds of thousands of people were killed during the war in Iraq, in the name of "national security." Technically, we didn't force anyone to do anything after Sadaam was captured, but we basically set up two sides to kill each other and feign suprise when they did. Imagine how we would react to an actual internal threat of national security.

Maybe you think you can do better. Let's say you had a chance to be Andrew Jackson in 1830, and you're facing an American Indian crisis in Georgia. You have two options. The first is to let history repeat itself with the Trail of Tears. The second is to let the settlers and natives duke it out. Ultimately, the settlers will win and Indians are drived out anyways, but thousands more are killed in the process. The two groups are too different to coexist peacefully, and you don't have the authority from stopping people from moving to Georgia. Which option do you choose? Either way, history would remember you as a terrible person.
Because their entire business model is based on tracking you.

Microsoft killed DNT by enabling it by default in IE. I was working for one of the largest web analytics companies at the time, and we were fully prepared to support it (the code had been written!). But after Microsoft's move it was immediately dead across the industry.

Basically, Microsoft sacrificed consumer privacy as part of its petty feud with Google (and after their own attempts in ad tech went up in flames—taking a $6B write-down on their acquisition of AQuantive).
It'll be interesting to see if Flutter, through Hummingbird, ends up getting any traction as an alternative to Electron. Not to mention with Marzipan on the horizon, what other cross-platform competitors will arise.
Are the street sweepers in SF effective at actually sanitizing the urine and feces or are they really aerating the excrement so any diseases contained within are more easily transmitted to passersby? I'm guessing the latter.
There are already several anti-bias and discrimination laws on the books. Why does facial recognition warrant additional regulation?

Numerous processes already capture gender, race, and age.

Facial recognition seems like a better/faster tool for capturing these data points. But the requirement to comply with existing laws is unchanged.

Any further regulation will only limit the development of facial technology to a few large players that can afford compliance and enforcement measures.
I agree that pediatric practices refusing service to no-vaxers is the norm in the US.

I've have a few friends who range between full on anti-vax vs being skeptical of one or two, and I’ve heard a few stories.

It seems that a parent asking for their child to not receive one or two of the 20-50 vaccines the pediatrician gives by default has about a 50% chance of being kicked out of the practice. As you said, asking for no vaccines is about a 99% chance.

However, pediatricians have a racket where they will not accept a new child (unless they moved to the area) unless they saw the child within a week of its birth. Thus, when you get kicked out, you are out. You can't see a pediatrician anymore unless you drive 80 miles to sketchy 90's new-age pediatrician in a dingy strip mall, and you can't get any more vaccines unless you go on the correct afternoon of the second week of the month to a government clinic in the part of town with litter and shootings.

This has pushed several people I know into not getting further vaccinations when they were getting 95%.

Maybe it's just our area, and the whole US isn't doesn’t have pediatric practices like this...
Thanks for reporting! The team is aware and on it.
If you want it cheap, you self-host it, don't you..?
It is a complete bogus argument. We need a functioning eco-system to survive.
I wonder if the there could be a section in the GDPR that would forbid websites to track their users if they have such option turned on, and if it's legally feasible.
Oh I don't know the same way every other class of job across every other sector in the economy evaluates their candidates? Imagine hiring a PhD in Physics to lead your Applied Research lab and asking them to derive Maxwells Equations from first principles as part of the interview Or hiring a new Surgeon and asking them to perform some obscure procedure they did twice in Med School before hiring. Absolutely absurd. You've been fooled into thinking this is an acceptable way to judge people.
I'm hoping that this results in a nice, high-level API for https://github.com/fragcolor-xyz/nimtorch as well, which AFAIK has been wrapping the low-level Aten API. I've been keeping my eye on that project, and been really excited about it.
Slightly misleading title. VW's last generation of combustion motors will be released in 2026. Basic motor platforms can and do last for decades after initially introduced, so I think closer to 2040 is a safer bet.

The Eemian was caused by reduced North Atlantic ocean circulation, a courtesy of the previous Saale glaciacion period, too much fresh water, and continued transfer of heat from the south.

It produced abrupt effects localized to high altitude areas. Most of what you described occured in the later stages of this 15000 year long period.

The Eemian cannot be really compared to the current global warming, a potential AMOC (Atlantic meridional overturning circulation) instability is just one out of the thousand problems we are facing.
It's the same with the Australian Aborigines, but then virtually every other kind of disease is also much higher amongst that group - especially those living in remote communities. As the article says, Hep B is largely "a disease of the poor".

macports forces you to install 15GB application that lots of users don't need(xcode). Homebrew just requires the cli tools.
I usually follow 80 if possible, or in Java 100, but put a hard limit at 120. There's just a need for the occasional judgement call.

The off-by-default behavior was the result of a compromise made between the advertising industry and privacy groups. Since DNT was voluntary, adtech firms were not going to voluntarily destroy a huge chunk of their businesses. The only way to get buy-in was to ensure that it reflected an individual user desire for those who cared enough about privacy to enable it. The subtext was that this had to remain a fairly small set of users.
It could have had legal bearing, if Microsoft had not turned it on by default.

Before DNT, the way consent basically worked was that companies just assumed you consented, and only if you specifically denied consent, they would have no chance to defend that in court.

With DNT, if the user turned that on themselves, they would have clearly signalled that they want this the other way around. Do Not Track me, unless I specifically give you my consent. This would have made it hard for companies to defend their behaviour in court.

With Microsoft turning it on by default, there was no way for companies to know, if the user actually wanted privacy, or if they supposedly wanted to be tracked, for whatever reason.

With the GDPR in place, you theoretically now need to get consent every time (including implicit consent, e.g. when the user asks for something to be shipped to their address, that means you can process their address). Most companies don't yet keep to it, though.
That's just one way to do it. Another might be

I’ve never had a problem with it myself even on mid range kit (DL580 sized)
Since I was an intern in college, I have seen older technical folks become harder and harder to employ. I've had good friends lose their job and because they're older/more expensive, they get rejected with all sorts of creative excuses.

Well, guess what? Now I'm older and I'm more expensive. Thankfully I saw it coming, and I have been saving diligently along the way. I'm not rich, but my lifestyle costs are not insane and I can continue to save from now until the gravy train pulls into station.

At that point, god willing and the creek don't rise, I can afford to work part-time, or take a big pay cut, or switch to consulting gigs.
Even if I use git exclusively in the command prompt, I usually have a working copy where I edit files, and another copy that's read only where I switch branches without care, do the binary search bisect thing and so on.

I don't remember what happened for me to start doing this, but it saves so many headaches that I don't care.

All the graphic Git clients cause me panic. I have Sublime-Merge has a read only thing, because it shows diffs in a nice format. But I am still not ready to commit something from it.
I had a cat who would walk on a leash. I had another one that liked going for "walks" where he would perch on my shoulder while I walked, like a pirate's parrot.

My current cats aren't walkers. One hates the leash, and the other hates the mere idea of "outside."
If the decline of native apps means the apps will be available on all platforms, because it's the same codebase then it's a welcome change. No more this app works on Windows, but not on Linux,etc.

But then of course the question arises why have different platforms at all?
The slogan "The planet has seen sudden warming before" misses a crucial point: yes, the planet has seen sudden warming before (for some value of "sudden"). But human civilization never has. Climate change is not an existential threat to the planet, nor to life, nor probably even to homo sapiens. But it is very much an existential threat to civilization. Personally, that worries me. I'm a big fan of civilization, and I don't want to see it die. But right now it's not looking good.

[UPDATE:] As anyone who has read the story will be able to tell, I wrote the above comment before reading the story. Because the full headline is "The Planet Has Seen Sudden Warming Before. It Wiped Out Almost Everything."

> I know the IV user in this film (they call him Chris on camera). This user is atypical but there are many people with extensive bladder damage and negative social effects.

That's not pharma grade ketamine. We have no idea what these drug users are taking.
Osborne effect is caused by announcing a superior product you aren't selling. Customers can't buy the announced product and won't buy what's available instead.

But VW already sells or has ready products like the e-Golf (or indeed the Taycan mentioned in the article). So if you read this and think "Oh, I should buy an electric car" well that's fine, VW will sell you one of those today.
Now I'm scared; 23andme reported that I'm at risk for Late-Onset Alzheimer's. What lifestyle changes can I make to reduce the risk of liver cancer?
I am not an expert on this either, though I guess I hope to be someday. But when Hossenfelder says that Spin-2 necessitates like charges attracting, I believe her. I've also heard that result elsewhere.

My understanding is that the spin of a field or particle is more of a result of the equation (specifically, the Lagrangian) which governs its dynamics. This is irrespective of whether you consider it as a field or as a quantized particle of that field; either way the Lagrangian has certain symmetries. The Fermion Lagrangian has symmetry on 4pi rotation, but not 2pi, which (confusingly) we call spin-1/2. I suppose that the GR Lagrangian has symmetry under pi rotations, which corresponds to spin-2.

(that would make sense if the stress-energy tensor is contracted with two vectors; it would essentially boil down to the fact that (-x^T) M (-x) = x^T M x if you wrote everything as matrices. But while I have studied GR I haven't studied it as a field theory so I'm not sure it's this simple.)

So the Spin-2 thing is not too questionable. I don't anything about how to turn that into a statement about gravitational charges, though.
It's slightly terrifying to see the data about the loss of nutrients in plants around the world due to climate change. On YouTube there was an interesting Veritasim story about plants and their mineral levels.

It seems plants have fewer minerals now compared to 100 years ago. Farmers have fertilizer and the plants grow but they don't have the same levels of nutrition even with all that help. Samples of weeds from the 1800s were compared to the same weeds now and even the weeds have fewer minerals, so it's all plants not just food crops.

Larger farms growing more food may not solve the problem it's the quality of the plant not just the quantity.
Its an open secret that Intel adds custom accelerator hardware to their server chips for the big corps, that are undocumented/disabled for everyone else. I have no idea if AMD does this too.
They could also be preventing customers interested in supporting a sustainable energy future from leaving the brand for Tesla vs. driving their existing VW a little longer until a VW EV comes to market that suits their needs/preferences.

By going on the record stating as soon as 2026 ICEs are finished at the company, it clearly states that their lineup will be electrified shortly.

KitKat was released in 2013[1] as well as Blink in the same year[2].

Apart from Blink being a WebKit fork, WebKit itself is not "the dominant engine" anymore at least since 2014.

Slack and Spotify are two other famous examples.

Yeah, like everything, Electron is all about trade offs. It’s incredibly expensive and difficult to implement every new feature 3 different ways for three different clients. It’s very nice (and probably worth it) to just do it once, even if you lose some performance or small details that most users won’t notice.
Mr.Porsche's first car was petrol-electric hybrid, because he deemed clutches unreliable. And he got it right, because clutches wear out so quickly that DSG boxes, after 80 years of gearbox development, need clutch adjustments every five years. He should have developed the Beetle as a petrol-electric hybrid with continuous throttle and resistive brake instead of a petrol car with 4+1 switching gearbox.
Yeah, but they're gonna include a software patch that turns off the IC engine whenever an emissions detector is attached so it will always appear to be carbon neutral.
The purpose of the article is to point out that the last time the Earth saw sudden warming, almost all complex life went extinct.

And Duck Duck Go's just-released study (https://spreadprivacy.com/google-filter-bubble-study/) shows that Google tracks you, not just DNT or not, but whether you are logged in or not, incognito or not, probably no matter what you do.

When Google recently silently made Chrome log you in whether you logged yourself in or not, I switched to a different (previously unused, non-Chrome) browser on a new computer, and without logging in to anything Google (but from the same house), I went to YouTube. It asked me to log in, but I didn't. It proceeded to suggest mainly links to very niche-interest, low-view-count videos I had previously in the past few days, making it clear that it had at least a very good guess who I was anyway.

Apparently, asking me to log in was mostly just asking for my permission for what they were going to do whether I agreed or not.
> If my technology is used for evil, I am responsible.

So, by that logic, Tatu Ylönen should be held responsible for all hacks/crimes committed via ssh?

You can't blame someone for making a tool that someone else uses for evil. Should Ford be responsible for all auto-related deaths? Should Edison be responsible for all deaths where the state put someone to death via electrocution? Should Jobs be responsible because a hacker used an OSX machine to hack into another machine?

I don't get this line of thinking, although I understand the sentiment.
Maybe I'm just reading into it, but this looks like:

a) Anti-AWS (conceding loss of JEDI contract)
b) Regulatory capture for the remaining big cloud players
Yes, I just updated my comment to reflect that.

But I think many people will, as I did, interpolate the truncated headline as, "The earth has seen sudden warming before [and therefore there's nothing to worry about because it all worked out the last time]."

Hi Peter,

I have an family member with GC who visits the US for short periods of time every 6 months to maintain it. They currently have no intention of moving to the US. Recently, they seem to be getting more scrutiny at the airport due to the US not being their permanent residence.

Is it possible for their GC to be revoked for this reason? If it is, then is there any way they can continue on with their lifestyle and still maintain their GC (by investing/buying a house/etc.)>
I thought vintage cars are usually exempt from these things due to the enthusaist population being too small to environmentally matter. That's why we still let people drive those century-old steam cars fired by coal, any damage just comes out in the wash.
Look up "Battle of the Forms".
Same issue here. I'm a Linux user but recently got a new laptop and thought I should at least log in once to Windows before installing Linux.

I was welcomed by candy crush tiles and other questionable stuff. It is totally incomprehensible to me how a machine that costs almost $2k has candy crush as the first tile the user ever sees. I don't think Microsoft cares anymore.
Topsoil is needed for plants, which won't grow underground without it. And if you're going to carry soil underground, might as well do it in an above ground building. Or try hydro ponics
If it's a competitive advantage for your desktop product to use the native system frameworks with the platform preferred language (Cocoa/Swift or UWP/C#), I believe its just as easy to justify the development time and cost to build your product today as it was 10 years ago.

The main change I see is 2 things...

1. Companies now write all internal software using the web both for deployment and accessibility reasons and for storing things in the data center.
2. Consumers have mostly moved on to mobile devices.

Honestly, if you need a desktop platform at home for anything other than hard core use cases (photo editing, software development, music production, etc.) those tools have largely been written and established.
> he retracted the CC despite the fact that it actually turned out that there is a (non-zero) CC

Dark Energy being the CC is just _one possible explanation_, it hasn't been tested.
IMO you need to start loving UI/UX to get anywhere. It’s actually interesting and with modern frameworks is not too hard for a decent programmer to pick up. Getting out of your comfort zone and learning new paradigms, solving new class of coding challenges etc will also make you a better backend engineer. Think of it as a good investment.

Second step - twitter bootstrap and admin templates for it are the little known secret of fast and cheap and good looking UI.
Good templates are under $50, recently some nice ones started popping up on github under open source licenses.

One aspect that is hard for me and probably requires another half of the brain is making it “pretty” (or graphic design).
Good news is there are tons of UI freebies, UI kits, free app templates shared on behance and dribble. Basically it’s pretty app designs created by people who don’t have skills to convert them into code. So they give that stuff away for free.
Taking one of those goodies and using for your side project will make your project stand out without dropping a cent on professional designers.
I always recommend freebies designs for MVP even when it’s more than a side project.
