Opposition to embryonic stem-cell research is principally rooted in compassion towards others — specifically, the human embryos which are killed in such research.

This is primarily about the poverty of the victims. Most of the adults must have known about the extreme danger of being close to gasoline fumes. If we can't blame their innocence, what's left besides an overwhelming need for the gas or the profit from it?

Maybe the answer is herd following behavior. A few oblivious people go into the danger zone, and the less oblivious think maybe they know a reason why it isn't dangerous and I shouldn't miss out. It's a human variation of the myth of lemmings jumping off cliffs, but less mythical.
Pyrrhonism, you start on the assumption that no-one [else] even exists and go from there ... ;o)

Seriously, I'm not so sure -- I try to trust first and then update that status as more information becomes available; but that's more of a religious position.

I don't think it's necessarily instructive to look at my personal modes here. I guess my main point is that if you're going to say "well humans have cracked trust, we'll just model it on that" then I think you're shooting wide of the mark.

This is why I always try to read newspapers from both ends of the spectrum.

At first it is often very annoying to confront yourself with the different viewpoints and opposite spin.

But you train yourself to read everything more critically, recognize how easy it is for your preferred media outlets to blur your "vision", and discover that the truth usually is somewhere in the middle.
Dont you think "hostility towards police" and "violence against police officers" as phrases themselves are purposely under contextualizing whats going on, in a biased sort of way?

'A worldwide community supporting the violent threats of local militia backing their civilly disobedient politicians efforts to evade the government use of police force to mandate participation and speech' is a super interesting power dynamics story. Whos the oppressor in this story, government use of police force, militia chaos, insubordinate politicians holding process hostage? Is the use of police FORCE to strong arm their votes itself violence? Shouldnt people be banned for supporting police force?

To Godwin's law this topic, would reddit choose to ban advocating prisoner violence towards auschwitz guards, in their efforts to escape? Would the rebels be banned for advocating destruction of the empire and violence towards storm troopers? It doesnt seem like there is a line drawn anywhere, it does appear arbitrary, or biased against violence they disagree with. The actual policy seems more like "ban what gets us bad press." If the rules were enforced consistently, rap music would be banned. I'm not pretending there are easy answers, even the supreme court has been looking at whether rap music is artistic or a credible threat, maybe they arent mutually exclusive. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/06/us/politics/supreme-court...

> disparage their service because of one incident

It wasn't one incident. A very similar incident has made the rounds last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18332918

Again, the victim got fully compensated only after making a big enough stink, and the top comment calls out KitSplit's advertising as misleading.

I have a hard time calling it an "oversight" that KitSplit puts statements like "Always Insured - Your gear is always covered" front and center, while you have to go dig for the reality that there is no coverage against the renter walking away with the gear.
Ironically, on a meta level, OurWorldInData itself isn‘t immune from that. While I personally love how they build a positivist and fact based counterpoint to a world not built for a 24h news cycle, they are selectively confirmation biased as well. All their facts are aimed towards their main message of „in the grand scheme of things, everything is good“ and they conveniently underreport on climate change and growing inequality.
I'm just relaying the sense I get from all of my Mexican friends, and studying their culture and history. Their government is unbelievably corrupt and under-performing - and insofar as they've nationalized the provision of gas, yes I expect their government to be less reliant than private&international companies.
Thanks but no thanks. All you have done is describe contemporary Adtech in the terms they wish to be seen in. What you describe still requires keeping massive surveillance databases on prospective targets, which is intrinsically aggressive.

If I have a problem that needs solving, I will research it, hear earnest recommendations from friends, or find about it through static advertising in appropriate venues. Imagining that I have some problem that I am not aware of, and that I will be grateful for your communication if only you can reach me, is the epitome of arrogance.

In all fairness though, a typical conservative legal department is going to take one look at that first statement and ask for documentation that it's true. Which, of course, you won't be able to provide.

Not everything said by a company spokesperson or written on a web page is fully vetted by legal but ads specifically often are.
I hate to say it because I’m one of those people who bounce at a “turn off your ad blocker” notice but you’re absolutely right, and I had never considered before the fact that they don’t care that they’re losing my page view. They just want that ad impression. What a sad state we’re in right now.

Their followers are of course to blame to encourage these behaviors, but this whole situation where there’s strong financial incentive to act dickishly is guaranted to never stop.

I was thinking, perhaps when punishment gets really severe, but then I imagine all these videos about how they got around the rules or defied authority.
It makes you wonder about how teachers are selected and trained in the first place/what kind of behaviors are incentivized that they would not be able to handle a minor situation like this and had to resort to emailing/phoning parents when all that was needed was to just sit down and have a calm chat with the kid.

I am interested.

I have.

I actually agree here, to be honest.

This is literally the only thing I took issue with. I was, and am, genuinely curious on all the other stuff. I was hoping you would expand on it. I, however, thought it prudent to mention that I'd not be interested in reading it from the "elites controlling society" position.

I'd really like for PCs to send a wakeup to the TV. My AVC and ShieldTV can both wake up a TV connected for display, why can't a general computer do it? Currently using a 42" 4K high refresh TV as a monitor (would prefer 36-38" 4K).

I've resolved to just use a classic screen saver to keep the TV from shutting off, which causes total chaos when resuming from sleep.

Aside: anyone else notice how hard it is to actually use a screensaver these days. Linux desktops have removed it from in the box mode, and windows has totally obscured it away from you.

~50% of males have their genes exterminated each generation.

Their experience of reality is probably very different than yours.

That does not mean that their reality is not real.

If you are not part of this group, congrats on winning the genetic lottery.

Their reality may indeed seem very “warped” to you.

But the probability is high that either your sons or your grandsons will experience this warped reality as well.
I mean, there are obviously a huge number of caveats associated with that, to the point that it's meaningless when we ate discussing "possible universes". There is no rule that a n^-2 force cannot exist in a 2d universe... which would obviously result in stable orbits.

I mean come on, we have forces in our universe which are not n^-2. All this proves is that gravity couldn't work in the same way in a 2d universe..... so?? Heck, what about discrete universes? What about nonlocal universes?
I think you've got the right general idea, but I don't know that it has to be homomorphic encryption. After all, an index of the public web is not really secret, and the user doesn't have a private key for it.

In the simplest case, you could make a search engine in the form of a big, public, regularly-updated database, and let users send in arbitrary queries (run in a sandbox/quota environment).

That's essentially what we've got now, except the query parser is a proprietary black box that changes all the time. I don't see any inherent reason they couldn't expose a lower-level interface, and let browsers build queries. Why can't web browsers be responsible for converting a user's text (or voice) into a search engine query structure?
I guess the point is that Twitter could easily tone down pile ons by noticing that a tweet is generating many more replies than likes. Then reduce display of that tweet instead of boosting it to non-followers.

Perhaps not for blue checkmarks (they've declared themselves central to the public debate), but for average users Twitter should try to calm down pile ons.
It would exist but not in a nice way, with electricity and magnetism inducing each other.
In an age when nothing seems to replicate, this wouldn't surprise me. But

1. There is an obvious conflict of interest in having a fact checking organization claim to "debunk" studies showing that fact checking is ineffective.

2. This "refutation" is a press briefing, not a peer reviewed study, and doesn't have a lot of facts to back up the claim, other than looking at the N difference in only 7 handpicked studies.

This is an amusing example of what happens when so called authorities are held to account. Let's say someone reports that fact checking organizations are a waste of taxpayer dollars. Then the fact checking organization comes out with a 'Fact Check: False'. It seems there should be some prohibition about being an authority on criticisms of yourself.

For logic, yes, but not for visuals, interactions, or anything that needs to interact with anything besides itself.

So it might be "compilation target for JS engines", but it sure as hell isn't "compilation target for the web". The web is so much more than just running logic in a browser.

That might come in the future, but it sure isn't the present.
Dying Bookstore to NYC: Just Treat Us Like You Treated Amazon
> As man advances in civilisation, and small tribes are united into larger communities, the simplest reason would tell each individual that he ought to extend his social instincts and sympathies to all the members of the same nation, though personally unknown to him. This point being once reached, there is only an artificial barrier to prevent his sympathies extending to the men of all nations and races. If, indeed, such men are separated from him by great differences in appearance or habits, experience unfortunately shews us how long it is, before we look at them as our fellow-creatures. [...] This virtue, one of the noblest with which man is endowed, seems to arise incidentally from our sympathies becoming more tender and more widely diffused, until they are extended to all sentient beings. As soon as this virtue is honoured and practised by some few men, it spreads through instruction and example to the young, and eventually becomes incorporated in public opinion.

-- Charles Darwin, "The Descent of Man" (1871)

> A human being is a part of a whole, called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

-- Albert Einstein

How to Estimate Weather Forecasts with the OpenWeatherMap API in Python
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain /r/The_Donald already didn't have ads on it as the article implied it did. Reddit only allows ads in white-listed subs and T_D was never white listed AFAIK.

Edit: Found where I read this: https://www.reddit.com/r/stopadvertising/comments/85vdwo/gro...

Edit 2: my comment was moved from a different thread that was on a TechCrunch article on this. TechCrunch claimed that this quarantine would mean that ads would no longer run on T_D.
I didn't suggest that I couldn't; however I figured that the work had already been done in the extension.
Even replacing "need" with "want", there's plenty of room for entirely ethical adtech that just isn't done because it's slightly less profitable than the unregulated craziness we have.

For a simple personal example, I have weirdly-shaped kitchen cabinets, and it took me months of trial and error to find a cutlery organizer of exactly the right size to fit. If I'd had some way of plugging in drawer measurements and getting back a list of things that fit, that would have been a purchase the first day.
Chicago Got a Lot Faster at Beach Water Warnings
I'm sorry but you are wrong regarding the Toyota problem.

There was (is?) a firmware issue that caused the vehicle to attempt to speed up, regardless of if the accelerator was pressed, or even if the brake was pressed.

In my case, I had the brake fully depressed with around 100kg of force, and the engine was revving to attempt to overcome the brake (VERY scary situation, believe me!). The system only recovered when I bumped a taxi in front of me.

Now you may say I was pushing the accelerator. If I did that I would have hit the car in front of me a lot faster than 5kph. If I was somehow pushing both the accelerator and the brake, the computer system should ignore the acceleration anyway (due to brake taking precedence).

But you don't have to take my word for it. Go read up on the Toyota firmware issue, starting with link I put in the prior post.

EDIT: here's another article, summarizing the faults as determined by court: https://www.edn.com/design/automotive/4423428/Toyota-s-kille...

- Toyota’s electronic throttle control system (ETCS) source code is of unreasonable quality.

- Toyota’s source code is defective and contains bugs, including bugs that can cause unintended acceleration (UA).

- Code-quality metrics predict presence of additional bugs.

- Toyota’s fail safes are defective and inadequate (referring to them as a “house of cards” safety architecture).

- Misbehaviors of Toyota’s ETCS are a cause of UA.
In a logical discussion whataboutism is never a relevant response. If something is bad it is bad if any side does it. But hypocrisy as a fallacy don't necessarily apply when discussing geopolitical power struggles. This is because people on one side using a tactic but not the other is usually a disadvantage, so when someone accuses you of hypocrisy they're basically saying that you're trying to get me to stop, but you won't, which will give you the upper hand, so... why should I stop?

Given its 200k buget (One developer-year), PRISM was exactly as it says on the tin.

A web form for sending, and storing the results of Section 702 information requests. Those were targeted requests for user data.

You can legitimately quibble over how precisely targeted they were, or whether there was a justifiable trail of evidence leading to a warrant. It, however, was not a mass surveillance system. You can't build a mass surveilance system on a 200k budget. You can't even integrate with one on a 200k budget.

I’ve heard this « go has generic it just doesn’t let you access it » argument so many times, it would be really good if someone could actually point to the piece of compiler code that define those generic capabilities.

My guess is they don’t have anything usable by the end user any way, otherwise they wouldn’t spend so much time thinking about a design for go 2. It probably means whatever is in the compiler isn’t that elegant, nor reusable.
I don't think anyone is arguing against that. I think it's mostly that "the lowest price [they] could" is typically a pretty aggressive offer. Apple is really great at finding companies that have great proof-of-concept products with no way to polish them or scale them and then using their resources to make the "Apple-y" version of that product that's integrated into everything. They're rarely the only company looking at these potential acquisitions and they're more concerned with locking them down than they are at negotiating and potentially losing out.
