> The alternative, not beating global warming is a big compromise too.

It's not either-or. Owning a private car in the Alps and using it for the occasional shopping or skiing trip is far from being the main source of CO2 emissions for their respective country, let alone for the world.
This used to exist. From memory it was called Bets of Bitcoin. Don't think it's around any more.
> the job of democracy is to foster the well-being of the people

The basic "social democrat" mission statement, rarely heard these days even in Europe.

> why were democratically-oriented politicians unwilling or unable to take similar measures?

The short answer is that while politicians are dependent on the public for votes, they're dependent on a much smaller group of opinion formers, media organisations, and donors for everything else including winning those votes. And the small group tends to be wealthy, conservative, and not willing to have their economic freedom restricted.
At least he sticks to his word and doesn't take vaccinations himself?

Having had chicken pox as an adult I hope he enjoys it as much as I did.

Took me two years to get over it completely.
So what is the news? Nearly every child had that some decades ago.

It isn't like measles, which was vaccinated against back then.
Sure, that’s true - although the client didn’t need telling that, as they already know they’re onto a good thing - their flagship clients and steering group are industry leaders.

Either way, they went away bubbly and excited about the prospect of grinding their cocksure new competitor into sparkly dust!
Their journalism is usually quite sound, precisely because they take a restrained and level-headed approach to their subjects, rather than rushing to cry wolf about possible worst-case scenarios like people in the vast majority of online forums including, at this point, this one.

The real way to make an impact on the world isn't by shouting as loudly as you can about whatever the issue of the week is. People tune out, and soon you're just shouting into an echo chamber.
Love it and use it from some time! Scriptable status bar is also awesome feature. :)
Chickenpox vaccinations are not mandatory in all of Europe. E.g. our daughter was vaccinated against chickenpox because we lived in Germany at the time (where they have been vaccinating against chickenpox since 2004), but kids in The Netherlands (where we live now) are not vaccinated against chickenpox.
He probably had a higher contact rate with non-vaccinated population.

I don’t see a reason to mock him and wish a fast recovery.
On a slightly related note, I find it incredible that the Kindle (and presumably other e-readers) still fail to support typographic standards that printed books have had for hundreds of years. It took them years to support hyphenation at all, and now that they do, the number of times I’ve turned a page only to find it completely blank but for the very last syllable of the very last word of the chapter is infuriating. I know it’s a small thing, but it instantly rips me out of the story and reminds me of the imperfections of the thing. For a single-purpose device by one of the world’s largest tech companies, that’s just not good enough.
My reading is the following. Say my IQ is pretty constant. As any father can attest to, there are a lot of factors influencing whether I'm on top of my game. A few rough nights and I'm in a worse state for days. Let's say exercise usually is correlated with better sleep, better cardiovascular operation etc. and also the other way around (I train less when tired). Then I can easily follow better performance after training but also for groups that exercise more. You just make better use of your potential (IQ).
Hm. Depends how you do it. Given how much it costs childbirth costs in the USA, I’m surprised there isn’t already health tourism from the USA to literally anywhere else. The cost of genetic modification will probably be small compared to the cost of childbirth, if the current existence and price of amateur CRISPR bio-hacking kits is anything to go by[1].

Could this be overcome by requiring all newly registered children to have full genome DNA tests, along with their parents, and prosecute on the basis of clear genetic modification? Or is that likely to get too many false positives?

Dangerous for pregnant women IIRC. And can cause complications later in life, afaik.

Either he shakes it off, feeling confirmed in his pov. Or he suffers miserably. Both are no outcomes I wish.
Technically bikeable: yes

A long unpleasant bike ride for your daily commute: also yes

I think biking works if it's either a last mile type of thing via bike share programs combined with public transit, or if you are biking in a denser city. In NYC with lane splitting, sometimes you can be faster than cars.
That's also the point in vaccinations. It protects us in both a personal and poluation level by decreasing the risk of contracting the virus.
Varicella (Chicken pox) vaccine was available in mid 80 (widely available in 90s) I didn't have it either.

That being said: while the news is mostly sensualist, the anti-vax movement is beyond sick and dangerous.
Storage should be measured in MWh.

When you measure it in MW (i.e. how much power it can generate _per second_) the important variable is for _how long_ you can do it - getting you back to simply using MWh.
The NHS also do not vaccinate for chickenpox in the U.K, arguing that vaccinating children (where chickenpox is mild) makes the the health risks for adults more severe

> says something that makes someone uncomfortable and that gets reported to HR

If it's a one-off, not part of a pattern of behaviour, and the person is willing to apologise, they can usually be forgiven.

(Doubling down on "I'm right and they were wrong to be offended", on the other hand, is a terrible idea)

If you want a visible physical disability analogy, imagine that someone with a wheelchair runs over someone else's foot.

"I'm sorry, I didn't realise you were there" = everyone's friends again

"I'm sorry, you shouldn't have been standing there" = probably OK in the long run but unpopular

"You should have got out of my way" = unacceptable response.
If you like the music from the Sonic the Hedgehog games, and you like to hear arrangements of video game music, I suggest you take a listen to Opus Science Collective's album Zoned[0].

It's basically a concept album based on Sonic's music, full of arrangements, mash-ups and tidbits of interviews about the Mega Drive and the Sonic games layered upon the music.

I recommend taking the time to listen to it in full, but if you don't have the time, my personal highlights are tracks number 3 (Sky High), 6 (Hydrofunk), and 8/9 (My First Experience With Funk/Back in the Yard).

Really, the first time I forked money for music in a long while.

While I don't especially like the guy (he's the governor of my very state), the title is clickbait and the news is NOT ACCURATE.

Fedriga is 38 years old, just like me; and, when he was a child, just like me, chickenpox vaccination WAS NOT MANDATORY IN ITALY, nor it was recommended. I was not vaccinated against chickenpox, either, while I did all recommended shots.

It is mandatory TODAY, and he has already stated that his children ARE vaccinated.

The only reason because this was news is because he has stated that he's against the Lorenzin law which makes vaccination required in order to go to school.

EDIT:
In the 80s there was no chickenpox vaccine available at all.

EDIT 2:
Fedriga's answer to his haters:

That second example isn't "inciting violence", that's self defence!

This should be obvious but how does your law work in a situation where, in fact, there is a war and there are people coming to kill us. Or are you naively believing that we live in some sort of utopian post-conflict era, in which self defence against armed groups will never be necessary?

I’m not sure the best evidence for AD is infectious. Do you have sources?

Mutations in the APP (amyloid precursor protein), PSEN1, and PSEN2 genes are shown to cause early onset AD with very high penetrance.

Here’s an overview of AD genetics: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3044597/

One interesting comment from this article:
“...which subsequently led to the cloning of the APP type I integral membrane glycoprotein from which Aβ is proteolytically derived. The APP gene was then mapped to chromosome 21q, which accounted for the observation that patients with Down syndrome (trisomy 21) develop amyloid deposits and the neuropathological features of AD when in their 40s”
Sometimes I've wished that Sublime Text's API used JS so that I didn't have to know Python just for one program.

It seems a waste having to keep a battalion of imperative OO languages in one's head just for incidental use.
Actually, any unsupervised method, including clustering, still has training data. The only difference is it doesn't have a target y variable in the training set to minimize the error metric, hence the name unsupervised.

But the definition you mention is right. Yet, any dataset that you use to fit your model will be your training set, even if you don't have a train test split or the like, because you used it to train your model over.

> Wind and solar resources can provide an order of magnitude more than what we currently consume. [2]

Why are you linking a study that just looks at the potential wind kinetic energy available for conversion? A study that ignores where the bulk of useful wind turbines would need to be built? That ignores the economics and ecological impact? I mean that study is pretty clear about what it's looking at, and it isn't at all what you're implying.

"We elected in this study to exclude forested, urban, permanently ice covered, and inland water regions"

Uhhhh. Cool, in more breaking news, theoretically if we cleared flora/fauna and covered 1/5 of each continent in solar panels we'd also exceed our energy demand!

Did you just google your premise and pick a paper that vaguely seemed like it agrees with your presupposition? Take the time to actually read it.

Sorry for ignoring the rest of your gish gallop. I'm sure you understand that it's hard to engage in serious debate with people who scan your entire post for a couple of uncited fragments and latch on to those one by one. If you held yourself to the same standard, your entire comment would need to be broken down line by line and attacked since you have cited nothing. Especially if you're ignoring commonly understood facts like the existence of a nuclear waste disposal cycle, or if you're citing completely unrelated papers without even checking them first.
Seems to be a miscommunication. I use they as a gender neutral way of referring to individuals as the English language doesn't offer a better alternative.

Would like to add a practice that may be helpful for someone: I store an uploaded image as an array of objects in the DB. Each object contains format (jpeg, webp, etc.), name, size, hash and other pieces of information about the transformed image. Frontend app chooses which one to render according to a browser (use webp in Chrome for example.) and UI element.

Is anyone catching the irony that building cities for bikes is pretty much like building cities for cars, just in a somewhat smaller scale? You need fast lanes, parking lots, bad weather handling, crossings, cross roads, etc.

Will we in 20 years have even denser cities and then try to ban the bikes?

How about fighting the trend to ever denser cities? Allow for three or four story buildings and leave it at that. Demand lots of space between buildings. Build intelligent subways. And plant some effing trees now and then.
Make the bike lanes wide enough to allow a snowplow to pass. Additionally, plow cycle paths first and more often, as cyclists are more vulnerable to slippery road surfaces.

I really like the design!

I would like a filter for controversial, having people add: The earth will still exist in 2020, is not so interesting.

I normally don't like leaderboards, but in this case, it would be nice if and only if it was weighted by how controversial the prediction is.
We can differentiate between how religions and the groups within behave in practice, which is why we can ban some terrorist groups using religion while not banning all religious groups

How?

Can you really define an utterly objective definition of hateful manifesto that captures what you want but does not also capture the Koran, or for that matter, the Old Testament?

I would be extremely surprised if so. Those books have a lot of nasty stuff in them. Moreover if you go look at newspaper comments sections reporting on the NZ attacks, a disturbingly high number of people have concluded that Islam is not a religion of peace and that the Koran does in fact radicalise people (helped along by radical preachers). They can point to many terrorist attacks as evidence.

There probably isn't any standard of censorship or free speech that isn't twisted in self contradiction of the form "any violent text which leads to terrorism which is sufficiently popular is ok".
Confirmation bias explains a lot of what is going on with media. It's human nature to be biased. This doesn't have to be a big problem if we accept that we are all biased.

Biases are rooted in the computational limitations of the human mind. We have limited memory and communication bandwidth. Our brains use compression algorithms to record, store, and retrieve data.
As far as this is concerned children are an extension of their parents. What makes individual liberty such a powerful force is that different paradigms can compete peacefully in the same society and everyone can then see what works and what doesn't. So yeah, parent should be able to absolutely block their kids from games and they should also be able to let their kids play them as much as they want (as long as they still eat and go to school ..) and everything in between.
I would say the same about JS, which I've never used once in my life.

Not everything is done in a browser.
I do wish him a fast recovery, but I don't mind him being mocked.

He knowingly preys on people's ignorance and fears and the damage he causes is not even confined to himself or the people who listen to him, but people who can't vaccinate their children for legitimate reason are put in danger because of his actions. Even people who do vaccinate their children are put at risk because herd immunity is compromised.
Who will determine the odds of predictions?
Full stack means every system involved in the request-response cycle.

A lot of architectures are simply divided into front-end and back-end, but not all, and there's often ancillary systems involved (such as caching, external data imports, etc).

It means you aren't a specialist - you can work on anything.

In the UK, they and a few other companies pioneered shipping CDs from Jersey to avoid VAT (which was 15 or 17.5% at the time).
Yeah, well, I did things the other way around and picked my job around not having a commute. That means remote, I work from my apartment.

I still have a car, but I drive much less than those who commute by car every day. It might be sitting unused in the lot for weeks (I have my feet & bicycle for grocery store trips). But when I need it, I need it, the public infra and ridesharing simply isn't there. (But I occasionally give rides and haul stuff for people who don't own a car, hey, isn't that exactly what we need?)

As far as global warming is concerned.. well, one glance at the statistics shows that my car ownership couldn't matter less. For example, if you take the top polluters (China & USA) and compare to my country (Finland), and break it down by sector, you'll find that our transportation's contribution to CO2 emissions in the world is a fraction of nothing.

As far as domestic energy consumption goes, we've cold winters, and heating is the biggest drain. There's a lot that could be done to improve the energy efficiency of older homes without spending too much money but the will isn't there. The only way we get heat efficient buildings reliably is via regulation that applies to new buildings.
>chickenpox vaccination WAS NOT MANDATORY IN ITALY

When he was a child there was no vaccine developed.
I didn’t see what is inaccurate, he is an anti-Vaxer and he has caught chicken pox. Low rates of vaccination, for whatever reason, carry significant risks of increased infection rates. He’s lucky it’s just chicken pox, but the reason this should be news and is important is that people are dying needlessly from
measles.

Infections and deaths from measles are on the rise in countries with significant anti-vacination movements. This nonsense is killing people.

I listed down things that other nation states (NSA? Abu Gharib/Patriot Act? Wall along the Radcliffe Line?) have done in the past in response to persistent danger. And are guilty of taking populist measures at a great expense, sometimes.

There's always been such knee-jerk reaction from nation states, that then resort to drastic initiatives partly because they do not understand technologies involved (Secure Golden Key?), or they aren't held accountable as often and get away with a lot (WMDs?).

Most countries with a bill of rights, including Canada and presumably NZ, have a "notwithstanding clause" that allows the government broad power to abrogate those rights if it feels it is in the public interest to do so.

The USA is the sole major exception.
It seems that QUIC is a new transfer protocol created to replace TCP. QUIC uses UDP and LTS/3 and solves the head of line problem addressed in HTTP2. Furthermore, sending the data encrypted allows QUIC to begin transfering data earlier. An experiment by google shows that in connections with high latency or loss QUIC gives a 15% reduction in highest latency.
Take another look at the book, every single bike lane is already seriously fading.

You're not supposed to lay new streets. First of all, you can tear up single lanes, so no need to do the whole street. Secondly, you probably should already be tearing up a significant fraction in order to provide proper separation. But most of all, there is no need to replace them: just add the green dye when you're replacing them on their regular maintenance schedule.
Wikipedia claims the vaccine only appeared in 1995 [1] or 1984 [2] (and probably later in some countries). Either way a lot of the population could not possibly have been vaccinated as a child.

Amsterdam also has high average wind speed. Headwinds can slow you down just as much as hills, and crosswinds make it harder to control the bike. Most energy spent while cycling goes to overcoming wind resistance, and it's easy to underestimate how important it is if you don't cycle regularly.
The vaccination is not perfect, this is varicella.
Did anyone else notice that ZeroHedge is apparently now a site so dangerous that entire populations can't be exposed to it?

ZEROHEDGE?

Jeez, I've been reading articles on and off there for years and have never hurt a fly. What are they afraid of exactly, mass outbreaks of gold hoarding, extremists who disagree with central bank monetary policy?

I just visited and one of the top stories is objecting to an apparent trend of US cops shooting dogs. How is this site considered systematically dangerous by New Zealand ISPs?

Or is this what we always see censors do - decide terrorist attacks by white men justify blocking large swathes of ordinary conservative political opinion that has nothing to do with race or religion?
Not necessarily. Like anything it could be good or bad in certain situations. I interpret it as meaning the person will be driven to do what's right according to logic and merit as opposed to politics. It's another way of saying they are a disagreeable employee which are known to be very valuable to companies.
