> The impact of the jet stream on climate change, and whether it will shift in the future, is hotly debated by scientists. It is seen as one of the central issues that will determine how weather patterns across western Europe, in particular, will shift as the planet heats up.

> “This is a critically important part of climate science, and one of the least well understood,” says Prof Williams. “We know the climate is getting warmer, and this is settled by now, but it is the consequences of that warming — like the jet stream — that we are just starting to explore.”

> “We think the rapidly warming Arctic is making these wavy patterns happen more often, and as a result we are seeing weather patterns themselves become much more persistent,” she [ Jennifer Francis, senior scientist at Woods Hole Research Centre] adds, meaning that weather such as heat or storms can be trapped in place for longer.

> Other scientists predict the opposite could happen: climate change could cause the jet stream to get stronger and move toward the poles. Atmospheric models — the complex simulations that run on supercomputers and forecast long-term weather and climate — tend to support this view.
Honestly, I am quite happy with the role of Go as a better C. A lot of applications still get written in C because C++ isn't making things better. And Go has a lot of higher level constructs than C, so it reaches into much further domains than C. Structs with methods and struct inheritance as well as interfaces give a surprising amount of power. Also, having first class functions and closures gives a ton of power C (and even C++) lack. Add to that the great GC, and there are surprisingly few tasks I consider Go unfit for.

I am certainly watching the work on Go 2.0, it is certainly worth to continue working on enhancing the language, but I am very happy how carefully it is done as adding too much complexity to the language would be detrimental. There are only a very few things I miss generics for and usually they can be worked around.

I might have to add the disclaimer, that my paying job is mainly about programming in Lisp, so for me there is a high-level alternative to Go, but this also shows me how Go is a great solution for a lot of problems.
I never claimed it was a solution. I just said it helps you to avoid it. If it were the solution I wouldn't be on Hacker News right now.

Although I strongly disagree regarding 4chan being unambiguously worse. Maybe if you're talking about just /b/ and /pol/ I'd agree but the site is so much more than that.

I am unconvinced about this claim.

Sure there are a lot of movements towards getting cars out of the city, but very little is done to compensate for how to get resources in and out so it will naturally have limits.

No. There are programs to teach people how to change crops from traditional crops to more nutrient rich crops, just to avoid what you are talking about. While true in areas where people are starving, any calories are good, but still in most parts of the world, people need nutrition to grow and be healthy. Our bodies can balloon up with fat and still be under nourished, and nutrient poor foods do this.

If I declare a right an "absolute" right I do not aim to answer any of the questions you posed, those are all good questions that need to be carefully considered, but none of them render the "over-simplified" right to live any less morally justified or desirable.
I think we agree on the basic principle, or at least we seem to be talking about the same principle.

My point is that any principle is going to hit edge cases when applied in real life, and so "instead of acknowledging that there are in fact absolute rights - we constantly debate where _the line_ is" is actually the right thing to do, because principles are not absolute rights, and edge cases in fact need to be solved.

Essentialism
It was far quicker to walk a mile to Twyford station, get the train to Ealing, and the tube to White City (or fast train to Paddington and tube to Shepherds Bush now) than to drive.

It was a long time ago, and I don't work in Shepherds Bush any more, but the trip today would be

0835 - leave home
0856 - get slow train to London
0935 - arrive Ealing
0950 - arrive White City
0955 - arrive at office

Or

0840 - leave home
0900 - get fast train to London
0932 - arrive Paddington
0950 - arrive White City
0955 - arrive at office

Driving was

0800 - leave home
0900 - arrive Hammersmith flyover turnoff
0950 - arrive car park
0955 - arrive at office

It was the hammersmith roundabout that was the real killer.

The reason I drove in for 10AM (once a week) was because I was on 12-14 hour shifts, and driving home after 10pm was about 50 minutes. Very few people working office hours would drive into London, especially Central London, and parking at stations across the south east is often full by 9AM.

Regarding the "bumping" mechanism and its effect on "normies": isn't almost every forum like this? I can't think of a forum that doesn't shift threads with recent posts to the top. This isn't limited to 4chan or 8chan, so I think it's unfair to single them out as encouraging extreme views.

Regarding anonymity: perhaps anonymity has the opposite effect, allowing people to be more willing to have thoughtful discussions and change their minds, instead of having to stick to their guns for fear of losing face. Perhaps the freedom of anonymity allowed people to say what they always wanted to say but couldn't because they feared for their reputation.

All of which is not to say that 4chan and 8chan don't contain hate speech and other forms of expression deemed unacceptable in broader society. But perhaps the reason people say such things and talk in those ways isn't because of the forum itself, but because of the state that political discourse has devolved to these days. 4chan and 8chan are nothing more than fora at the end of the day; and if they're blocked, people will simply move to continue the conversation (just like they moved from 4chan to 8chan in the first place).

I came to macroeconomics by way of game theory. I'm going to step in because it's actually a far more sophisticated discipline than one would at first imagine given the (admittedly extremely pedagogical, verging on the puerile) examples one is likely to encounter when not studying it in depth (Prisoner's Dilemma, I'm looking at you). Combinatorial Game Theory has been fundamental in addressing “artificial intelligence challenges” such as defeating human Chess grandmasters and more recently, despite the hype about neural network self-training, Go. Bayesian Game Theory deals with how a rational agent starts off in a situation whereby it knows little of what it is competing against and gradually refines that knowledge whilst also getting the best results given the imperfect information available. Differential Game Theory de-discretises time and is useful, for example, in programming both the manoeuvres to be executed by a surface-to-air missile as the target attempts evasion and in modelling a financial market. Algorithmic Game Theory is concerned with measuring the computational complexity of various strategies, and ensuring that they are in fact computable. Taken overall, it is a very complete and compelling field of knowledge. The problem is that we game theorists tend to assume that because we found an optimal solution by some advanced analytical technique, it should/will be observed to be the norm “in the wild”; sometimes this turns out to be the case, perhaps because there are cumulative or incremental adaptive paths to arriving at it, oftentimes it does not (typically because it's of the “bolt from the blue” variety). Most game theory research publicised is often of the “so simplified it doesn’t obviously apply” (even the most banal thought-experiment, that of the one-shot Prisoner's Dilemma, involves somebody in police custody essentially making a decision whether to spend their life in jail or being fried on the electric chair, a pretty extreme decision to be making on the spur of the moment and all the assumptions made regarding this scenario, including the iron-clad case against them by the investigators and knowledge that the co-conspirator is also in police custody, are fairly unrealistic).

There's a lot of things game theory is very good at and has contributed to. It isn’t represented very well in publicly-accessible material and what is expressed comes across as markedly simplified to the point of irrelevance (which the examples are). But it’s a very powerful tool, actually.
Declaring them absolute also don't solve these problems, because sometimes you can end up with conflicts between absolute rights, where you are not able to protect both rights at once.
This article has more than a few issues. I believe I've seen recently that Tesla is now on Version 3 of the these tile's mounting and interconnecting hardware. Tesla really wants to be sure their tech is bullet proof before they start rolling it out in volume because reworking a lot of roofs five years down the road would be a huge liability.

On the other hand there's still a lot of interest in this because it really does look much better. All things come to those who wait.
> You are quoting garbage websites.

I'm well aware of that, but do you happen to know why I have to do that ? Because they're the only ones talking about it (and they're doing a piss poor job at it btw), fortunately there are pics and videos of these events so we can have a glimpse of what's happening. Mainstream medias and "experts" are too busy telling how being fat is healthy and spewing bs stats about the gender pay gap, why would they talk about contrarian ideas ? To get shut off and deplatformed ?

> The median life expectancy of a trans person is of 35 years, dying from conditions related to drug abuse, STDs, and psychological issues where abandonment is the primary cause of these.

Unhealthy behaviors leading to unhealthy behaviors ? Who would have thought.

Do you know what we were telling teenagers looking for a meaning in life in the past ? "Suck it up kiddo it'll get better", and for the vast majority of the time it worked. What do we tell them now ? "Oh my dear, you're simply not in the right body", no wonder they get depressed there is 0 chance of a successful "transition" unless you start before puberty...(and even then you have to go through body mutilation and life long treatments to suppress your natural body processed). When I was 10 I wanted to be a trash trucker driver, at 15 I wanted to be an indiana jones style archaeologist, it was fun for my parents. But somehow if it gets sexual all of a sudden it's DEFCON 1 and you have to comply with their will ?

Feel free to link your experts studies btw, I'm yet to see any of them pointing something out other than "look at all the suicides, you should feel bad".

Lived temporarily in Seoul and Osaka last year for three months, then moved to Berlin.

The trains were always on time in Seoul and Osaka when I had to take them (though to be fair, not very often) but in the first week of being in Berlin, like 60% of the time the "trains are running at an irregular interval". I definitely don't trust the U/S-Bahn in Berlin, but it's still one of my most favourite public transport systems in a city I've lived in. Lived there for 2 years and never had to use a car.
Helo autorotation largely requires the momentum of the blades to keep going after engine failure (as well as the pitch and forward momentum). I don't think the blades on small drones are heaby enough to store enough momentum for autorotation.

I was in Antwerp this year for the first time thus I can agree with the article. It really is super easy to move around with the bike. Countries like Belgium, Holland, and Denmark are famous for that. They even have big parking lots for bicycles next to train stations. So that you can come by train, pick up your bike and continue your way. And they do so despite bad weather.

In general, in the European cities east Berlin wall, the bicycle infrastructure is not that great. Yet, there are European funds that close that gap and you can see many cycling roads in countries like Poland or Hungary.

There are also European bicycle 'highways' called Eurovelo that are being built from the European money. I think Europe is going into the right direction.
Surprising how the comments so far (351) seem to be debating car vs. public transport, while the original article was more about car vs. other means of personal transportation, including bikes, ebikes and scooters:

> Two wheels good, four wheels bad

Most car rides are done with just one person at the wheel (or in the case of Uber/Lyft, a driver and just one rider). The size and weight of the vehicle is the problem.

A bike weights 30% or less of the weight of the rider; a car, 300% or more. That we consider "normal" or even acceptable to move so much metal to transport us, is simply unreasonable and crazy.
What is happening to prices in the online retail market?

Are prices high, or are prices so competitive, so low, so good for consumers, that competitors have literally been complaining about it for years?

One major risk is that their customers simply build teams in-house. Microsoft has had a very large team for years (and MSR / Ofer Dekel has actually published a lot of useful research on how to handle “crowdsourced” labels). Companies have been building productive off-shore labeling / moderation teams since the early days of Crowdflower. At some point, it’s not just the cost that makes sense, but rather the Product team wants a reliable workforce that they can control.

Another risk is that the well-funded self-driving customers go belly-up. However, one important facet is that dead players don’t release much data. MobilEye has a vast dataset (including images from not just Tesla but other automakers) but that data isn’t going anywhere. Neither is Nvidia’s 180PB of HD recordings. (Release or transfer in part requires dealing with PII of the people in the recordings. Now if only the offshore labelers weren’t handed PII for free...).

The valuation is likely a forward-looking bet on AI as whole versus the current suite of contracts. Anybody using an off-the-shelf model will want some labels after their first proof of concept. I wouldn’t argue that the math makes sense but rather that demand does look underserved.

I just walked to school. I never needed to take a bus or the car except when I lived far in the countryside. I'm talking about Spain.

Anyway schools sometimes have their own bus, parents pay a private company so the bus takes the students either from their home or very close.

In the uni there was special bus lines that went around all the city to the campus.

At least tens of millions of teenage or younger students take public transit to school around the world, somehow few of them seem to fall prey to “the insane people, mentally ill, the thieves and the homeless.”

Last I checked kids don’t tend to wander outside at 2am, and places with public transit tend to have taxis too. (I would add that the last thing I want to do at 2am is to drive myself home; in fact, a couple years back I had an accident due to driving jet-lagged the day following an international flight.)
> Speed helps you deliver more.

It might in the short run.

Take coding hacks for example. It is fast in the short term, but might cost you double in the long term.

Not saying that quick hacks can never have their place, but saying that being fast might cost you time in the long run.

So faster is not always faster, and does not always help you deliver more, depending on the timeframe.
You're hitting on a point that drives a lot of the disconnects in these sorts of discussions.

There are a lot of places where you don't need to own a car or even have a drivers license. And you constrain your activities accordingly. You may rely to some degree on friends with cars (though this tends to become less and less practical as you get older). Or you rent cars as needed if you have a license.

But you probably just tend to forgo activities that involve driving out to the country every other weekend or hauling a lot of gear around or visiting people you can't get to easily with public transit.

As a visitor, I rarely have a rental car in SF (and never if I'm solely going to be in the city) for example. But it means I am going to be pretty much staying in the city rather than taking a hike somewhere for half a day. I do know a couple that live in SF without a car but they do short-term and longer-term rentals all the time.
