That's what I'm saying. Historical changes to the climate have occurred, maybe with similar rapidity, maybe slower, and they caused huge extinctions. The best case, I guess, is that the shift is slow AND life is hardier than we expected, and we get through it ok, maybe with just a few species disappearing.

But the downside risk is the extinction of a huge swath of life on Earth. (The first species to go, historically, have been big animals with high metabolisms--things with similar volume/surface area ratios as us)
Couldn’t watch the whole thing, was so naff, with grating ‘tension’ music, simply ghastly! At times I actually thought it was a spoof.
It is always the same war...the war for power and control. In this case, governments want more power and control over other countries or their own population.
"Microsoft is going to provide the U.S. military with access to the best technology – all the technology we create."

So which is it? The best technology or the technology Microsoft creates? You can't have it both ways.

The evidence is overwhelming.

There is no way to be a "rational" and "sourced" climate skeptic because all roads lead to the same conclusions.

People like you will cause millions of deaths over the next 100 years.
Few sparse consideration: "push to extreme effect" or when you see something that marginally interest you but keep seeing it because of "customized" results substantially invite you to dig deeper and in case of some kind of results push people to the extreme like when you search a thing from a left or right party and in few time you get more and more "lefties" or "rightish" contents.

That's may not influence too much normal, acculturated, adults but may influence young and unacculturated people, thinks for example at modern urban legend like "white sugar is poison", like "chemicals trails" and they "tam-tam effect".

Another point "censor effect": we know well that a search based information access is less detailed than a taxonomy based one, we experience that often when we organize our mails, documents, files, alternating taxonomy and search based UI. When our entire world will relay on search based UI instead of taxonomy who control search may control knowledge. So it will became easily "hide" something, "push" something else etc.

Normally this is not a problem, it start to became a problem when very few search system became so ubiquitous and dominant.

"convergence": tied to the first, think only about feeds vs aggregators. With feeds you search for specific stuff and stay up to date while you tend to ignore thing not interest for you. With aggregators this "soft polarization" effect get somewhat lost substituted by another (potentially driven) "hard polarization" effect. As a result general information became less diverse (any publisher try to be at top in any aggregator result instead of follow their style) and people became more "extreme" in their information interest.

That's have far more implication than mere privacy. And if you add to the sauce the actual communication systems status like Whatsapp, GMail etc...
Really? Do you think that women simultaneously being the victim and being empowered, the company bending over backwards to increase female numbers and create special awards/events specifically for women won't create some frustration among the innocent male employees who have to pretend like they have to change the way they act around women to avoid talking over them, watching their time around women ( things like saying "Id love to go out but my ball and chain won't let me go"). The slightest criticism against women needs to be considered through a lens of misogyny and if it's plausible you keep quiet. It's just as simple as ignoring whatever the diversity efforts say about you and the situation at work. Don't divulge even a glimpse that you aren't along for the ride. Honestly sometimes silence or lack of enthusiasm makes you suspect.

It's very obvious that gender equality being achieved in the workplace is not via reduced discrimination, but by hiring women at a very flexible bar. It's so painfully obvious in my organization and frankly im embarrassed for the qualified women who are getting tarnished by the changes.
I'm sure if you stick a fob up your ass it'll dampen the signal a bit too.

Or you know, maybe put a button on the fob.
> Actually I live (in IT terms) in Emacs

I never quite got that. What is the advantage of doing everything on your PC with Emacs plugins, instead of using dedicated programs for specific tasks? I get that the text editor for all these tasks is behaving the same way when going the Emacs way - is that the only advantage though?

That doesn’t disprove the “matter-like” observed behavior, it just shows that the particular assumptions under which exactly these non-found WIMPs were imagined were false.
You may not realize, OCEAN is precisely the outcome of approach you seems to suggest. It’s called psychometrics. If you open a textbook on that subject, you will feel at home if you are a statistitian. If you believe anything else can perform better, you are welcome to try. I predict you will be humbled in the process.

The point of that comment was to signal that the discussion was over. I agree that the discussion had passed a line; that's precisely why I wrote the comment, and why I ignored the reply. I was self-moderating. It seems both ironic and counter-productive for a moderator to yell at me for ending the discussion, with the explanation that the discussion should be ended.

But really, it's not the fact that this comment was flagged that bothers me (though being accused of "tit-for-tat" behavior still rankles). What really gets me is my previous comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18604446) is flagged as well, for no reason I can see.

As before, I'm not actually expecting a reply. I know you want this whole discussion to be over, and I'm fine with that. I just want you to spend a few seconds thinking about what I'm saying here.

It always strikes me as incongruous when the government or military says "We're going to be the leaders in the Internet/AI/drones/cyberwarfare", because these are all technologies that eliminate the raison d'etre for the nation state as a social organizing principle.

Historically, the modern nation state arose during the 19th century from a confluence of factors. Taking advantage of new industrial methods of production required larger, more specialized workforces; this implied greater population and larger political units. Longer supply chains also required territorial integrity, so that the nation could ensure that its means of production remained intact without physical attacks from foreign powers. These bigger nations required more social control via propaganda and extensive legal & security systems, but the emerging technologies of mass communications & mass media enabled this. The armored war machines built by these industrial supply chains dominated everything else on the battlefield, so non-industrialized empires and kingdoms fell to industrialized nation-states.

Now supply chains are global and span trans-national boundaries; attempts to enforce national boundaries on these destroy industrial capacity rather than protect it. The Internet provides free information flow across national boundaries. Drones and robots give the military advantage back to small groups of technologically advanced individuals. AI and huge personnel databases allow you to instantly tell friend from foe regardless of geography, eliminating one of the key advantages of territorial integrity (which would likely be reestablished on a smaller scale afterwards). Cryptocurrencies undermine the government's power to tax and track finances, with the latter ability granted instead to anyone with a lot of computer power and knowledge.

Governments aren't sabre-rattling because we're on the verge of Cold War 2.0, they're sabre-rattling because they're insecure. Not just a government or the government - all governments. The next war will likely look more like Syria than the Cold War, with a confused jumble of non-national organizations all jockeying for power, and the social organization that comes after that will likely be a form of corporate feudalism a la Snow Crash. Google's on its own side in that organizational structure, because all the existing sides will be defunct.
SA is not our most favorite ally, but it also doesn’t make sense to blow the incident out of proportion. When the current admin talked tough about NKorea, you had people on the left sympathetic and outraged that the current admin would be outraged by what NKorea was doing. I mean if someone deserves being overthrown it’s thst regime.

Point is it’s theatrical to be upset at them given much worse goes on in other countries that media hardly cover.

Imagine that there is a neurotype that loves the idea of adopting (I have actually known people like this). So they adopt children in lieu of having quite so many of their own. Or they have none of their own at all. Nature, our harsh mistress, will weed people like this out of the gene pool very quickly.

Please look up how Facebook enabled the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar.
Facebook does need to police its platforms. Fake news and the mob mentality will destroy not only Facebook but also the world. And that is a very tall order. Oddly enough this may not actually be possible. I think they could put in some global filters to reduce virality/contagion as well as automated bot/troll detection.
I just don't see Zuckerberg ousted from the CEO spot. I get the argument that it's the only way to right the ship, I just don't think it's very likely at all. I predict they'll issue a vaguely-worded statement or two about ethics and so forth, and then this will all more or less blow over.

Some governments may drag Zuckerberg before some more panels, they may receive a fine or two, but I don't see much more than that happening. Some employees may get fed up and leave, but FB is still making way too much money for their compensation packages to stop attracting talent.

Their bellyaching about "the media" could not be more predictable and eye-rolling. I'd really like to stop hearing about how all the big meanies have it out for Zuckerberg. I say- grow up.

> Let's pretend school now starts at 9. Now everything is shifted by 2 hours.

(1) The school day is too long and the school year too short, anyway, so chopping two hours off the end of the day and making it up by extending the school year would be a win.

(2) Even if you don't do that, eliminating the end-of-school to end-of-typical-fulltime-work gap would be a different win.

“It’s otherwise rational, sane people who’re in Mark’s orbit spouting full-blown anti-media rhetoric, saying that the press is ganging up on Facebook,”

Well, the press probably is ganging up on Facebook. That's what the press does. They are sharks. When they smell blood (a story), they move in. Breaking new stories and scooping the other guys is what they live for.

Welcome to the world outside the bubble.

But if they don't build it, someone else will. They're not building a war machine like they would be for the Pentagon. I, for one, am quite happy to see money flow from China to the US for once.

Do I think China should be censoring their internet? Of course not. But they have been, and they will continue to do so with or without Google.
Reality is most people work where they work because of the money...few are thinking philosophically about the moral/ethical implications of their work. The only reason stories like these might be interesting is because tech had up until now been perceived as this anti-Wall Street destination for smart people with a conscious. Now, it's clear people who choose to work at FB and other tech giants are not necessarily any nobler, and just as greedy, as those who choose to work at Goldman Sachs or Bridgewater.

I'm reminded of Stein's Law. It is not exactly right, but it is how I feel this will likely play out. At least if reduction in carbon emissions is the only card we have in our hand. I.e. we will stop emitting carbon when (for all practical purposes) we run out. Not before.

At some point I do expect people will start having more serious discussions about how much climate engineering we are willing to undertake. Certainly the upper atmosphere sulfur dioxide injection has some plausible utility, in addition to being short-lived should it prove counterproductive. Collectively, humans seem to have more appetite for engineering our way out of problems than conserving.
The planet will be just as warm if one person emits all the carbon as ten billion.

Also, reducing your population growth rate is a great way to reduce carbon emissions. A world with 500 million people living in luxury is arguably better than one with 15 billion where the living envy the dead.

Though you get to some key points. The most annoying issue is perhaps that China's emissions are largely a result of building crap for rich people in the US and Europe.
It's not about enhancing memory or attention, although it might be a side-effect. Meditation is better for that. Lojong is a Mahayana Buddhist practice aimed to re-orient your basic outlook, intentions and attitudes in life and prepare you.
It consists of 59 aphorisms which are attitudes in themselves with various explanations spanning pages throughout the centuries (like bible verses). They are grouped in 7 categories or factors. A few of them you probably know already.

Slogan 13. Be grateful to everyone.
Slogan 22. If you can practice even when distracted, you are well trained.
Slogan 29. Abandon poisonous food.
Slogan 35. Don't try to be the fastest -- Don't compete with others.
Slogan 36. Don't act with a twist -- Do good deeds without scheming about benefiting yourself.
Slogan 37. Don't turn gods into demons -- Don't use these slogans or your spirituality to increase your self-absorption
Slogan 56. Don't wallow in self-pity.
Slogan 57. Don't be jealous.
Slogan 59. Don't expect applause.
etc.

Supposedly it took the one writing it down more then a decade to master them all. You can read more about them in the links I provided or the wikipedia.

To be fair, there are plenty of examples of it exploding after touchdown in the early days (of landings), both on the barge and in the water, some which are pretty spectacular looking!

It may not meet the technical definition of an "explosion", but the fact that it's still intact here is a testament to how "soft" this hard landing was.

Ideally you do it on the job. Go to coworkers' team that does frontend, say "hey, can I join you?" and they know you already, so decent chance you can work something out.

If not, it's possible to apply to new jobs with technologies you don't know: https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/01/23/job-with-technology-...

Final fallback is learning on your own time. At a minimum worth trying to get current job to pay for training first though ("hey these knew skills will be handy because X Y Z can you pay for this course/class").
Isn't "keyless entry" basically same concept as "not locking a door"? You can trivially implement it on every vehicle without using any electronics at all.
A fascinating read until the end, it's not based in reality at all. This is faith based archaeology at it's worst. The conclusion is basically "whats the harm in making up this story"...
I can't speak for everyone of course, but for the companies that I have worked for, where I held equity, and the company was publicly traded, there were some strict controls over when and how employees could buy or sell shares, and three of them forbade any sort of option trading on the company stock. When being acquired there were even more restrictions on the stock that I received in exchange for my 'founders stock' in the original company.

Or did you have a specific scenario in mind?
My answer to the military.

As soon as you stop spying on us, stop compromising corporate networks, and stop lying to our government about doing these things, then we can discuss whose side you are on. As long as you're still doing all that, you're not on our side.

That also doesn't mean we're on your opponent's side either.
This isn't a case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Yes, the other guy is worse, but that isn't an excuse for your undermining the values that are supposed to make this country worth supporting.

Do you want to know how to change my mind? Here is how. Invite Snowden home. Give him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Discontinue all of the domestic spying programs that he identified AND their successors. Do that, then we'll talk.
> GR models gravity as fluctuations in the metric tensor of spacetime, which is a symmetric rank-2 tensor.

IANAP, and don't get the full picture. But isn't that definition itself derived by the fact that gravity has a single polarity?
Tell me when have governments have felt secure, go back to the J Edgar Hoover era, or British Imperial era. Most governments are always on the brink of multiple psychological disorders. There is no treatment for them. This is business as usual... more power for them... that's what governments are good for, accumulating as much power as they can and then trying to order the world according to their interests.

And that's why these sorts of technologies are dangerous, they increase the amount of power that governments can exercise by potentially multiples and make them think that they can assert dominance everywhere which makes them more cocky and more prone to war. And that's why workers refusing to further this agenda are right and on the moral high ground.

> We need to produce a WIMP here, on Earth, and watch it decay.

No. You can't "need" something if that is simply unreachable. There’s reasonable chance that to produce the particles (which still don’t have to be the WIMPs as we imagined them, and still would be „matter“) the energies needed are simply beyond those that will ever be available to humanity. It wold not mean more than that: that we, humans, just can't repeat with our technology the extreme conditions that the Universe had/has.

The WIMPs in the form discoverable by the energies that are available to us at the moment would have been nice luck, but the existence of dark matter is not anything less certain when the dark matter is simply different from that. It would still be "matter" and not something else.
This is often what people think, but almost everyone I know at IPO'd places are at least partially vested. They want that sweet upside and for a while it works and everyone is getting rich together.
