When predictions of what was then called the greenhouse effect first came to the public consciousness in the 1970s, they were pretty handwavy. So most people over 60 today would have dismissed those early predictions as yet another science fiction doomsday scenario when they first heard about it. That wasn't an unreasonable conclusion based on how reliable the science was in the 70s. They should, of course, update their beliefs based on 2018 science, but a lot of people stop doing that as they get older.

Google has a lot of resources to do normalization, when IDNA in the URL bar became common they and other browser manufacturers had to put resources behind similar looking glyph attacks to make sure that you were actually on google.com and not on some site that was using a homoglyph attack.

This may explain why Google is able to discern these use cases.

It's less "can they render them" and more "do they maintain their meaning in alternate renderings".

For example, it's common in these to use non-latin characters that visually resemble latin characters. But if you were to try and substitute them literally, either as their actual phonetic sound, or a latin equivalent that is semantically similar but visually different, you risk breaking the meaning.

It's a bit like when old manuscripts use letters that look like "s" and "f" in places that seem nonsensical today.

In google's case, it's certainly worth it to write a little interpreter that maps the visual meaning to its latin equivalent so you can get better search results.
The only unique thing here is Google officially left China years ago, while other companies never did. Leaving China is a choice any company can make, and Apple could do it too. It's not like China is the only country in the world with workers or factories. Other countries would love for Apple to bring jobs to them.

The decision isn't free, and that is the problem everyone is pointing out. You can't expect companies to "do the right thing" when it gets in the way of profit. The only way to make that happen is to put massive PR pressure on them to do "the right thing" whatever you believe that to be.

That's useful, however, that's not even close to the order of magnitude of lifestyle change required to counter climate change. Instead of not littering, think not using a car; instead of banning disposable bags, think banning beef; one could go on - restructuring cities to use less transportation, drastic reduction in air transport (so, no overseas travel for most people), etc. Sure, such lifestyle change is possible as well, however, instead of a fraction of people who currently volunteer to do it, we need to ensure that the vast majority of global population do so, and we need to ensure that they do it quickly enough. Which is unlikely to happen without massive coercion.

Wonderful approach!

I would just change it to work with notebooks instead of PDF (to include the data and the algorithm and make replication easier) - through the notebooks could certainly generate PDFs.

Then it would bring into publishing the problem of replicable builds: the PDF would not be very helpful if the MD5 didn't match the published signature!

That's pretty much exactly what CBT is, which we already know is effective and is already relevant as a "mainstream" treatment for mental illness ("have you seen a therapist?").

I think coming to the point where you're ready to "face your fears" may be the real difficulty, and not just because people are lazy, stupid, or "coddled". On the contrary, we as humans are really smart. The mind has developed complex strategies exactly for avoiding dealing with your fears.
If I were to write a math formula in ASCII, it would probably have strings of multiplied variables that would be indistinguishable from English words to a screenreader that didn't know anything about meaning. The only way it would know to sound out the letters is if they had spaces or asterisks between them. The additional glyphs would do nothing to change this.

I don’t believe your last sentence is correct in the case of brands like Dasani that are just filtered tap water. And for drinks other than water the bottles still have to get made and disposed of.

> I feel like I’m missing something, because I keep seeing blog posts that tell me a browser monoculture is bad (and the irony of Microsoft saying this is nearly too much), but none of them tell me why.

For me personally, multiple independent implementations is a stamp of approval. It means that Google can't just sit on the standards committee, build something behind closed doors, and ship it, even if the result is open-source.

It means someone outside of that one company has to understand it, and be able to implement it. It can't be ridiculously complex, or have DOCX-style "just do what proprietary implementation X does" requirements. There has to be sufficient documentation. The implementations probably won't all have the same bugs -- I've heard avionics systems have multiple independent implementations for this very reason.

> Maybe the rendering engine should be more akin to the Linux kernel and less akin to Windows?

I fear it'll be more like Darwin. It's nice that XNU is "open source", perhaps, but nobody is taking advantage of this. I've never heard of anyone running XNU except as part of Apple's proprietary operating systems, and I've never heard of anyone forking it to run a custom version on their Apple hardware. I'm not even sure to what extent it's technically possible.

I would be much less worried if the single surviving browser engine were Gecko -- not because I think it's technically superior (I don't think it is), but because I trust Mozilla a lot more than I trust Google, or even Google+Microsoft. Mozilla is not good at design but they operate out in the open.
However something from this book passage does not seem to fit: most sources indicate that the "viager" annuity started to be paid in 1965 (by a local notary, not by a large French company), while Yvonne (or Jeanne?)'s death was in 1934, so if fraud happened at that time it was not to keep receiving the annuity.
because, if i can work it out, the script takes ascii char 69 (E) and maps it to say unicode 2107 which is the Euler Constant and looks like a scripted E - so when you then paste unicode 2107 into the app again, it has no map for 2107 back to 65 and so cannot "change" fonts

That's what I assume anyway.
And yet it works in the weirdest places. Saving some of the text in a file and opening it in a Python interpreter works fine, it even counts the numbers of letters right.

No, of course not. The American use of deadly force by police is far in excess of other first-world countries, and it has become a deadly part of the culture war. Various people have commented that the US troops in the occupation of Iraq had more restrictive rules of engagement.

With all due respect, professor, claiming that sugar is 'addictive' and that it is in fact a drug, is a bit of a stretch. I'm not nearly at the level of addiction research that you are privy too, so please excuse my ignorance of the most recent research results. However, in my lay understanding of the science of addiction, it seems that sugar is no where close to the same ball-park as nicotine or caffeine. Unless the definition of 'drug' and of 'addiction', has recently changed, of course. Still, if what you say is true, this would be a large overturn in the common, lay-person, understanding of drugs and addiction! It's implications on a dietary (and policy) level, would be fof a great boon to all of us. If you have the time, I would love to know more about this and how you formed your understanding. Thank you.

For example there are medical tests for pilots and other professions where the lives depend on sound mental and physical health of the operator. The same should be for police - can't handle the stress, got overflooded with stress hormones so that mental function drops below threshold - you dont get the right to kill.

Carrying the gun knowing that stress severe impairs your perception and executive function means negligently putting public in danger akin to drunk driving.

Interesting article. I wonder if there's evidence that the mindset of a police officer reflects the general public.

Sorry to have to generalize here but I've had a lot of exposure to police over my life as a volunteer EMT and an ex wife who's department was part of a police department. I have a lot of friends who are police officers.

They have one thing in common (mostly) - they think they're right about every situation. I don't think the general public thinks the same way.

Of course I have no idea if that's a selected behavior or something they learn during their time as police officers. I can certainly see how it's a beneficial behavior from a stress standpoint but we can see how it turns out with respect to these deadly force encounters.

I have a lot of respect for law enforcement but also personal knowledge enough that their decision making strategies are not like mine.
I did a ton of research because I was looking into creating a VR falling sand game (which someone actually made about a year ago https://www.oculus.com/experiences/rift/1337446473017832/).

There are a couple of other 3D falling sand games (http://csiuo.com/Sand3d/, https://github.com/TheTomster/sandish, https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Thread/View.html%3FThrea...) but none of them are very good due to the factors you mentioned. UX is also a pretty big problem, as traditional mouse or touch controls don't work well in 3D, which is why I wanted to go the VR route, but something like a very dynamic Minecraft as you mentioned could work as well.

Most falling sand game implementations are sequential, so parallelizing the simulation using a margolus neighborhood (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cellular_automaton) or double buffer could greatly improve performance. Most falling sand games tend to not be pure cellular automata, and some are implemented as particle systems with particle in cell grid collision instead of CA, but particle and fluid sims are easy to parallelize. I haven't seen a falling sand game (2D or 3D) that runs entirely on the GPU, and my goal was to do that, eventually ending up with some complex Claybook (https://www.claybookgame.com/) style engine.

> Participants are assumed to share equal information.

That is not a requirement for efficiency. Unknowns are factored into the price as "risk".

For example, if I am selling you my car, I know its condition a lot better than you do. But, the more you are suspicious about its condition, the less you are willing to pay for it.

If you're a crackerjack programmer, my interview process is inexact, so I'm going to discount the salary offer based on how risky it is that you're not a crackerjack.

Sellers offer guarantees in order to reduce the customer's risk, and hence be able to sell at a higher price. Investment returns are based on the riskiness of it. I pay more at the post office for less risk of non-delivery. Insurance companies, of course, are an entire industry based on managing risk.

Risk is a perfectly normal characteristic of efficient markets, perfect or equal information is not required at all.
