Which time are you talking about when it flooded? It flooded on mother's day this year during just a hard rain because all the pumps are failing because the cities infrastructure is falling apart.

New Orleans has been losing its natural protection of the wet lands and barrier islands for decades, exacerbated by the oil companies digging trenches in the wetlands to speed up their demise.

Louisiana has been losing land for a long time, and it is concealed in maps by the local government.

In the last 80 years louisiana has lost 1900 square miles of land to the ocean.

The problem isn't only mismanagement. That is just one of many problems that are causing failing infrastructure throughout the city.

What the poster above said about Miami is probably somewhat true, in that mismanagement is one of the issues of why Miami is flooding as well. But it isn't the only problem and it isn't even the main issue these cities are facing.

It will only become more expensive to maintain these flood protections in the future, and create more opportunities for greater corruption as well.

If you look at the more detailed source materials of various surface temperature reconstructions, you will see error bars, and that they are bigger as you go back in time, for instance, NASA's data, 2nd chart on this page (click on "Global Annual Mean Surface Air Temperature Change"), the grey error is the error range, and is thicker as you go back in time:

Apple doesn't really operate in a competitive marketplace with most of their products. If I figure out how to manufacture an iPhone for 10% less than Apple, thanks to various protection schemes afforded by law, I cannot reasonably start to sell an iPhone that costs less than Apple charges to try and gain marketshare.

It is true that I can produce a device that has some similarities to the iPhone, but with things like incompatibles that prevent the end user from being able to run their favourite app or integrate with certain cloud services they subscribe to, they are not similar enough for the customer to consider them to be interchangeable. In reality, they would be sold to different markets.

On the flip side, if I manufacture standard screws and figure out how to produce them for 10% less than anyone else who manufactures standard screws, there is a lot of incentive for me to increase supply to attract more customers to my product instead of someone else's. A competitive marketplace is necessary for that to take place.
Sure they have, security improvements always come with a small inconvenience cost, although they provide a better outcome in the larger picture.
I kind of disagree on what you try to accomplish in your second half. If you want to live here, you should be exposed to local culture and language, and have a somewhat hard time retreating into your own, separate filter bubble. Sure, Youtube could find more effective ways to achieve that, maybe by more gradually introducing you to it (especially language). But with their current capabilities, I'd vote for them pushing location based crap over not doing anything.

No you are not misunderstanding. The author of the article doesn't understand elementary physics as well as you do, which means he or she should NOT be trying to write an article about relativity or the future of physics. Welcome to modern journalism.

In the paragraph after your quote is another point the author almost certainly gets wrong:

>When Einstein realized that a person falling freely would feel weightless, he described the discovery as the happiest thought of his life.

I have read elsewhere that this "happiest thought" was that there is no experiment that someone falling freely could do that would reliably distinguish between being stationary and falling freely, with an emphasis on measurements of the speed of light. I am pretty sure that it was common knowledge among physics PhDs back then that people falling freely feel weightless. It is not like physics PhD are incapable of jumping while noticing the sensations in their bodies when the sensations are a straightforward consequence of Newtonian mechanics.

Things related to this seem to be religion and the state of the economy. One factor in the acceptance of gay people is that christianity is much less powerful nowadays.

It seems that well-fed and reasonably happy humans are much less prone to religion.

> But you can't have it both ways

You're reducing multiple known sources of error to a single one for some reason, which doesn't help here. Here's an example: my car shows 4% higher speed than the real one due to difference in expected tire diameter. Additionally it has some small dynamic error of speed measurement. In this case I can "have it both ways". I can correct for the known difference and use multiple measurements to get a higher precision speed reading.

The same thing applies to old temperature measurements if you provide good explanation of the systematic error.
No, I'm using statistics exactly as intended. Last year was much safer than any year in the 20th century, and so will this year be.

In many ways each generation is a referendum on and criticism of the previous, and there is something of an anti-establishment pendulum effect involved in many shifts from culture to counterculture. The anti-progressive and anti-feminist movement in tech culture now seems to be an example of that, as is each new wave of feminism and LGBTQ+ activism.

Many of the traits in society or identity that we believe to be static (especially when viewed from outside) or axiomatic turn out to be more complex and more fluid than they initially seem.

Well, we kind-of define work as being that done by humans.

My laptop does more number-crunching than all the human computers of last century every morning, but we don't count this as work taken away from anyone.

Humans find new things to do, providing services (or amusements) to each other which were not previously thought necessary. The entire services sector of the economy is things that basically weren't done 100 years ago (or were done on such a tiny scale as not to matter). And we all work hard to afford these new things, by making other such new things (like websites!), partly as a game of keeping up with the neighbors, rather than being content with our great-grandparents' living standards.

I'm familiar with the blog posts you have been reading on this topic, but its really not so easy to dismiss the data. The hypothesis you would need to accept, to believe the surface temperature record is not accurate, would be the systematic error is consistently measuring things a little bit warmer over time. If you wanted to prove that point you could try to find some mechanism that would explain it.

But the problem is many other measurements confirm the surface temperature results. Air temps agree with ocean temps, various proxies agree with those (ice extent and mass for example, are declining as would be expected with a warming trend)

Now, does 1800s temperature data have large errors? Yes, and those are reflected in surface temperature reconstructions by large error bars.

You are not the first person to be convinced that climate data is bad, some very smart people have felt that, and got funded by the koch brothers to do it right, and they did an excellent job, but got the same answers NASA, NOAA, and other groups did:

My point is that atheists and agnostics do not usually believe in creationism. Therefore, their belief in intelligent design may indicate it is not creationism.

Additionally, for the Christians who believe in intelligent design, most of them also believe in evolution and an old earth.

So, it doesn't seem like the majority of intelligent design advocates are themselves creationists.

My perception is most intelligent design advocates are convinced that stochastic processes cannot generate highly complex structures with very precisely specified functionality. Thus, they believe the source of this functionality must lie outside of traditional evolutionary explanations.

I don't know about PCB level, but on smaller scales you should avoid making right-angle turns in metal lines because of electromigration [1]. Energetic electrons flowing along the line will crash into the 'wall' at the turn, and will knock the atoms out of place a little bit. Over time, this will lead to 'erosion' of the corner.

Hans Rosling rebuts this, especially in Factfulness.*

If you look at population trends in countries worldwide, populations routinely level out only after improving underlying economic and health conditions.

When infant mortality is high and children are an economic necessity, parents compensate by having many kids. When a country gets better healthcare and better economic opportunities, there's an initial generation of population explosion as more kids suddenly survive childhood, but then the population immediately plateaus and begins to recede.

The epidemiological studies and population data is overwhelming that the simple model Malthus used fails to explain human behavior.
