Perhaps I'm missing the point here but why does this say anything about free will? Of course you can't make split second conscious decisions. But you've still made a conscious decision to prime your subconscious facilities to act in a certain way.

Here's autopilot swerving into oncoming traffic.

You can't assume that autopilot won't screw up lane following and swerve into a large obstacle. In those situations it's not as simple as making sure the lane ahead of you is clear, you might only have a split second warning between Autopilot going into "casual murder mode" and a collision.

>> Because we can't close corporations for a rules violation.

The post I was replying to talked about “closing” a corporation for a rule violation. Closing a company is akin to “killing” it, not “punishing” it. I think the analogy stands.

>> Meat production is such a big contributor to climate change that I’m all for this kind of research.

How big is the contribution of meat production on climate change? The following page has a pie chart of global emissions by gas (the site is the US Environmental Protection Agency):

https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/global-greenhouse-gas-emiss...

I don't know when the data is from. Methane, which as I understand it is the primary emission from livestock, makes up 16% of overall emissions (CO2 is, unsurprisingly, the largest contributor with 65%).

Another chart a bit further down shows emissions by sector. Agriculture and forestry and other land use takes up 24% of that (another quarter+ is energy production). The text accompanying the graphic states that most of it is from crops and livestock, without further clarifying the contribution of each. I also can't tell how much of the contribution of farming is due to methane produced by livestock and how much from CO2 emitted by transportation etc.

Overall, I'm none the wiser about exactly how much meat production contributes to climate change. I have to say I remain very skeptical that farming is a heavier burden on the environment than transportation and energy production, not mention deforestation and desertification by urban sprawl etc.
But it should be central to scientific process. If you do any kind of experiment and gather the results, then the first thing you need to do is to make sure that your results are real, and not just some random noise in data. Otherwise you're not doing science anymore.

Why isn't the explanation that the reporting function is slow? Your "free will" -which we won't explain- decides to fire the motor neurons, and then does the reporting, which is pretty unnatural compared to moving a muscle, to do the thinking about where the dot was.

> Yeah, but someone needs to actually develop ChromeOS, without Pixelbooks management might decide to focus elsewhere.

I really, really doubt that. I don't think you understand how ubiquitous Chromebooks are becoming to the education space. Last I heard, in the US, 60%+ of all school provided computers are Chromebooks. School SysAdmins love them because they're dirt cheap and can be provisioned quickly.

From Google's perspective it's great too. Between Google Classroom and the way chromebook device management works, students have to have a google account to be able to go to school. There's rules on what data can collect, but still, kids are forced into the Google ecosystem at a young age.

ChromeOS doesn't need the pixelbook to survive, it provides an enormous amount of value on its own.

100% agree there. I've been hearing for the past 3 or 4 years that Android and ChromeOS were going to be merged and nothing has yet to come of it. It seems like even Google doesn't know what is going on there.
Isagenix Reviews 2019 – What’s Inside the Isagenix 30-Day System?
All because everyone wants champagne taste on a beer budget. It reminds me of a Frank Lloyd Wright quote when someone asked for a $5k house and he says “Are you sure you want a $5,000 house? Most people want a $10,000 house for $5,000.”

They could just pitch these as cheaper substitutions and it wouldn’t be so annoying.
> It is obviously troubling to see self driving cars run into solid and stationary objects, but human drivers do that all the time too. The question shouldn't be whether this technology is perfect, it should be whether this technology is safer than humans. You and I certainly don't have enough data to say one way or another on that. I would bet even Tesla doesn't have enough data to say definitively. However writing this tech off as unsafe just because it makes what seems like an obvious mistake is a great way to slow progress which will result in more human deaths long term.

And where is the research to show that? To prove that within any significance, they would have to have millions and millions of miles to compare against human drivers. This is new technology and making false claims about its safety is dangerous.

We as a society force drug companies to rigorously show that their drugs do what they say they do and all of their side effects are properly accounted for. This should be the case here too.

I remember hearing psych-major classmates discussing that experiment in the dorms after class. It's kinda mind-blowing when you think about it.

I read (in a book sitting in a science museum giftshop, so take with the appropriate grain of salt) that most of Freud's theories have been shown to be bullshit in the century and a half since he lived, but his enduring influence was showing that the vast majority of human behavior is unconscious. Instead of thinking of your consciousness as the primary actor that determines what you do, you have to think of it as a vague overseer that occasionally notices the body doing something and can intervene with enough time, exposure, and practice. And whole industries have been built upon that principle - advertising, mass media, propaganda, behavioral finance, therapy, coaching, education, gaming, gambling, cigarettes, coffee, travel, social media.

There was a HN thread 2 days ago about the rise and fall of scientific authority and how to bring it back. I cynically commented that the rise of the physical sciences came from the ability to win wars with them. You could look at the rise of the psychological and social sciences as coming from the ability to make money with them.

I didn't invoke any strawman. A slippery slope argument is, by definition, precisely as I described - that a particular degenerative state (be it social, or political) will inevitably be reached starting from some innocent and minor consequence, and that this trend cannot be reversed or corrected for.

In a hotel room with an attached suite, this isn’t very hard. Most in the group can stay in small economy rooms, then use the suite for group things or big meals. My extended family (usually groups of 20+, with various budgets) does this also for beach vacations to book oceanside hotels pretty cheaply, and we also make use of shared spaces, like picnic areas or large table spaces you can use for free at some lodges.

I’ve found that groceries in and around big ski centers are often much more expensive than low-end takeout or a pizza.. plus you have to have someone in the group spend time cooking and cleaning instead of just enjoying the trip. Personally, if my budget was too limited to avoid that, or I couldn’t afford one suite at the hotel, it would be a sign that it’s not a financially good idea to plan the trip so soon and I should save money longer before going.

The trade-offs are different for everybody, which makes me feel like these just-so anecdotes simply should just be omitted from any discussion about the overall scumminess of Airbnb business practices & lobbying vs hotels.
Bandwidth; we deploy frequently, and pushing images around is a fairly hefty part of that deploy, and the less the better. OS images don't update too often, thankfully, and Docker will only upload layers if needed, but it's still much easier to push 5MB than 80-200MB, so Alpine does have a distinct advantage there. 1GB is pushing it, a bit. (We also put much of our tooling on the host VM; generally, this can suffice IME.)

While my office has a great connection, my ISP at home is less so, particularly in the up direction. On mobile, pushing 80-200MB up is essentially not going to happen, both because it eats into my data caps quickly, and because mobile latency is such that that's really slow.
It needs to be good enough outside GCloud that AWS/Azure/on-prem customers choose it, and can then migrate to GCloud later.
After many years of peak wasabi use (i.e. highest saturation possible) at Japanese restaurants in the US, I had a chance to eat sushi while on a trip to Shanghai.

I don't know if Chinese wasabi is more real or not, but quickly learned it had at least 10x more sinus-cleaning power than US wasabi.

That was also the first place where I had 'not possible to be any fresher' sushi - orders were placed at the fish tanks on the first floor, restaurant was upstairs.
> Positive/strong atheism ("I believe there is no God") expresses an unproved and unprovable belief, and therefore is incompatible with the scientific method, and with agnosticism.

'Incompatible' is not an accurate word here. 'Incompatible' implies that Atheism conflicts with the scientific method, which it does not. It would be more accurate to say atheism is orthogonal to the scientific method. But even that isn't true.

Saying that God exists is a claim in the positive and requires proof on your part to prove the claim, not proof on my part to disprove the claim. Anyone can make a claim about anything (pigs can fly) and we're not required to provide proof to the contrary in order to say with certainty that pigs cannot fly. Likewise, I can say, "There is no God" without having to prove that God doesn't exist.

The problem here is that a huge amount of the plants grown go towards feeding animals. [1] That’s probably one explanation for why estimates regarding the carbon impact of meat production vary widely.

From Brad Efron in [1]: "The frequentist aims for universally acceptable
conclusions, ones that will stand up to adversarial scrutiny. The FDA for example doesn’t
care about Pfizer’s prior opinion of how well it’s new drug will work, it wants objective proof.
Pfizer, on the other hand may care very much about its own opinions in planning future drug
development."

Significance requirements should be approached differently depending on the use-case. The above are two extreme cases: FDA authorized a new drug where significance guarantees should be rigorously obtained beforehand, and at the other extreme, exploratory data-analysis inside a private company, where data-scientists may use fancy priors or unproven techniques to fish for potential discoveries in the data.

Now how much significance guarantee should be required from a lab scientist is unclear to me. Why not let lab scientists publish their lab notebook with all experiments/remarks/conjectures without any significance requirement? The current situation looks pretty much like this anyway with many papers with significance claims that are not reproducible.

We should ask the question of how much the requirement of statistical significance hinders the science exploratory process. Maybe the current situation is fine, maybe we should new journals for "lab notebooks" with no significance requirements, etc.

On the other hand, in the mathematical literature, wrong claims are published often, see [2] for some examples. But mathematicians do not seem to as critical of this as the public is critical of non-reproducible papers in life sciences. Wrong mathematical proofs can be fixed, wrong proofs that can't be fixed sometimes still have a fruitful argument in it that could be helpful elsewhere. More importantly, the most difficult task is to come up with what to prove; if the proof is wrong or lacks an argument it can still be pretty useful.

I can get a chunk of wasabi for about $6 at my local greengrocer in Tokyo. Unless you plan on eating a lot of sashimi at home within the next few days, though, it’s not practical since it goes bad much faster than the tube stuff.

The taste is substantially better than the fake stuff, but it doesn’t really matter if you’re eating at a cheap place that doesn’t properly prepare the nigiri rice.
> How can this be even remotely against the scientific method?

Even the claim “there is no God” is preferred within the scientific method in the absence of evidence by the rule of preference for parsimonious explanation: if God is not necessary to explain anything, then God, from a scientific perspective, does not exist.

From a scientific perspective “X exists” and “X does not exist” are not symmetric claims requiring equal evidence; science starts with the assumption that only actual observations are real, and then admits only those entities necessary to the most complete and parsimonious predictive falsifiable models which withstand efforts are falsification. What is not required for those models is a non-entity to science.

Which is part of why the Redux patterns became so common in React apps, because that message reification for logging and debugging is hugely useful.

That also strikes to the heart of a lot of complaints about Redux patterns and their boiler-plate in that a lot of the raw details of that reification are left to the developer (in the various action-creator patterns), as well as the message bus dispatch (the various reducer patterns). There are usually questions about why more of it isn't "just" single function calls.

I would say it’s the other way around.

It doesn’t say anything about the probability of the null hypothesis being true.
