> But thank goodness in "socialist" Scandinavia I have several ad-free radio stations to choose from.

It is naive to say that they are "ad-free". They are free from classical ads, but they are politically very left. More than 50 percent(!) of the journalists employed by Public Radio SR and Public Television SVT are voting for the Green Left, a party which has only 4% of the national voters. The journalists are hence very different from the average Sven.

"Över 50 procent av journalisterna på Sveriges Radio och Sveriges Television sympatiserar med miljöpartiet, kommersiell radio och tv kommer därefter. Minst andel sympatisörer har miljöpartiet i landsortspress och populärpress."

https://www.jmg.gu.se/digitalAssets/1369/1369226_journalist-...

The bias is very noticeable when it comes to coverage of topics like Greta, Trump, Macron, Pride, etc.

Please also note that SVT Public television is broadcasting sponsored content, and ads.But they call it sponsored content. Public radio SR is allowed to do it as well by the same laws.

I don't think Apple has said so publicly, but it seems pretty obvious that they knew about that nickname and decided to lean into it with the new model. The new one really looks like a cheese grater, even more than the towers before the trash can.
It's a change of times, go back a couple of decades and all the firings were in the opposite direction. If you want one example, look at Lynn Conway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_Conway

People have always been fired for publicly going against whatever is at the time politically correct, all that's changed is what's politically correct.

What really amuses me about this is that the people complaining about firings over political correctness don't seem (to me at least) to actually want to stop firings for political correctness, but just to change the definition of political correctness back to what suited them.
Game of life doesn't have long range interactions, and doesn't have to deal with electrostatic interactions (which, with parallel B.C., diverge and cannot be calculated in real space).
But not interacting with people outside the monastery. Monks are sort of collectively introverted. Indeed, even within the monastery, interaction is often limited to the essential - consider rule of silence adhered to by some orders.

hrktb is quite right about the general principle of monasticism. Here's the start of the Catholic Encyclopedia's article on it [1]:

"Monasticism or monachism, literally the act of "dwelling alone" (Greek monos, monazein, monachos), has come to denote the mode of life pertaining to persons living in seclusion from the world, under religious vows and subject to a fixed rule, as monks, friars, nuns, or in general as religious. The basic idea of monasticism in all its varieties is seclusion or withdrawal from the world or society."

EDIT although in the entry on "monk" [2] there is considerably less certainty about the origin of the name and idea. Imagine your primary reference work being internally inconsistent like that! Can't imagine where these bible-bashers got that idea.

I'm not sure whether most of this climate activism is productive, or just produces more backlash in reaction.

It would be helpful if climate change could be taken away from the zealous environmentalists, as they have a long track record of advocating for policies that do more to inconvenience people than they do to solve problems. It's the modern day equivalent of wearing a hair shirt.

It certainly doesn't help to keep up the fire and brimstone, judgement day is coming, listen and repent rhetoric. They've played that card too many times to be taken seriously.
> You pick up most of the patterns simply by using the language.

I only recently learned that there are rules to the order of adjectives in the English language [1]; it was never taught to us in school, we just used them enough that I know it by what sounds right. Ex "the big, red balloon", not "the red, big balloon".

This is short term thinking. Tesla's ultimate goal is to provide the complete package of electric car, battery and solar generation for homes and businesses. Buying Solar City obviously ticked the missing box of solar.

That was the plan and good one. It probably hasn't gone as well so far as Musk expected at the time but the game isn't over yet. There is strong demand for the Tesla solar tiles when they finally ship in quantity and at that time this buyout will look much better.

Somewhat, yeah. You're overwhelmingly a product of your parents opinions and you're largely doing what they tell you to do or allow you to do. Because of this, it just comes across as shallow. Greta complained about how she should be at school and was blaming the politicians. In reality it's her parents' fault she's not in school.

Time is the problem.

Imagine you're doing a straight-forward computer simulation. You have a state-of-the-world, a time-step, and rules for how the world evolves during that time-step.

You might write your own orbital simulation; the positions of the various planets and asteroids are your state, you might use a time-step of a minute or an hour or a day, and your rules for how the state evolves during each time step might just be Newton's laws of gravity and motion. You can probably update your state in a fraction of a second, even if you are simulating hundreds or thousands of planetary bodies, and you can simulate eons in hours.

The problem with simulating biology on an atomic level is that your time-step needs to be in the femtosecond to picosecond range, because atoms can move fast, and small differences in their position make big differences, but interesting things like protein folding can take minutes of real time.

So to simulate anything interesting, you need to step through quadrillions of time steps.

Oh, and you're running this on more than one processor, so you need to do smart things so your simulation isn't trying to synchronize all of its processors on every step; oh, and we can't tell you the exact position of every atom in a cell to start with, or even necessarily all of the different types of molecules that are present. Oh, and all of these cells -- or pieces of cellular machinery -- behave in ways that are dependent upon the environment they are immersed in, so you also need to simulate that somehow.

There's a reason Randall Monroe described the difficulty of protein folding as "we may one day find a harder problem".

I’m well aware what per capita means. China has 10x the people as Japan. Resources are finite and the earth is already burdened trying to sustain 8 billion people. China wants to improve their per capita gdp? They should reduce their population. It’s not reasonable to assume 1.4 billion people should have the same standard of living as a country which kept their population reasonable.

If the device is a black box, you don't even need key exchanges though? You can just send encrypted data with a pre-configured, unique, randomly generated (for the device) key to a hard-coded IP-address. And even if you don't want to use a hard-coded IP-address, there are about a million ways to have some sort of custom encrypted "address resolution" through IRC or whatever else. In fact you could also just send the data to some Tor node or even base64 encoded through IRC. And a million other ways. It's not like DoH is really going to make a difference here. I mean you can even just send pings with what seems like randomly generated payloads that actually contain encrypted data. Really not sure what DoH is supposed to change about that. All it does is make spying with zero effort very slightly more difficult to detect.

Climate change is a very divisive issue, for whatever reason.

Even basic Estonian vocabulary is surprisingly different from Finnish. Educated guesses only help you so far due to a large number of false friends and false cognates (some of them rather amusing, eg. hallitus meaning "government" in Finnish and "mold" (as in fungus) in Estonian, or Estonian pulmad meaning "a wedding reception" but Finnish pulmat meaning "problems" or "troubles"!)

Many words in standard Estonian do have true cognates in Finnish, but the Finnish counterparts have a slightly different or more specific meaning, or are nonstandard or colloquial. A typical example would be maja which in Estonian means "house" or "building" but in Finnish has the more specific meaning of "hut" or "cabin"—a dwelling more rudimentary and temporary in nature.

Many Labour supporters in those areas and the far left currently in control of the party do support Brexit.

Even Corbyn is a life-long Brexiter.

This is the very reason Labour is struggling to set out a clear policy on this issue: It is impossible to satisfy their supporters in London and their supporters in the North at the same time but they need to in order to hope to win a general election.

A very telling example: Bolsover. 71% voted leave. MP is the infamous hard left Labour Dennis Skinner (MP there since 1970!), who is a Brexiter.

A random mistake yes, I would agree.

However, this mistake was a piece of information that even the Washington Post said was the reason they did not report on it [1]. To confound it, this was a piece seemingly to drum up interest for the books that the writers of the story also wrote.

Those facts don't make this seem to be an honest mistake. Those facts makes it look to be two authors promoting a book and hoping a bombshell article will drum up sales for their books. It's awfully convenient that the editors took out a couple of details that make it a non-story.

1E9 atoms / 130 000 cores = 8000 atoms/core

in 2011 I was building 40 000 atom models on a 2001 SGI Fuel simulating them on a single 8 core node at 1ns/week -> 8000 atoms/core. They're about 7 times faster then me 8 years later.

So from a computation point, meh.

From a tools point this is cool. It isn't trivial to build or analyze a model of 40 000 atoms, never mind 1E9 atoms.

The attitude that Adams has is exactly how I felt in 1996, when I was Thunberg’s age. I felt that technological solutions will emerge, the world is in good hands, responsible adults will take appropriate actions.

I was wrong. Fast forward 23 years and nothing has been done, emissions have continued to exponentially increase, every warning has been ignored. It’s now clear that for things to actually turn around the way I thought they would back in 96 would have required massive civil disobedience bordering on revolution, and the aggressive application of military force worldwide to pressure other countries into emissions cuts while pumping huge amounts of resources into supplying the world with carbon free power (at the time, nuclear).

Which is pretty much what has to happen now except the timeline is insanely, unfairly shorter.
actually you are, unless you'd care to provide a reference for that Labour policy.

My understanding of the Labour position is that they would negotiate a deal with the EU (likely including a custom's union) and then hold a second referendum, in which the government would stay neutral.

I reboot once every week or two - there's always something that fucks up when you leave it running for a month or more. Or if I ever go through and quit everything (for whatever reason), I usually reboot then. It won't hurt, and it doesn't take long.

It's worth doing fairly regularly to at least check the process still works as you expect. At some point you'll actually have to restart your PC, and the last thing you want is to be surprised by some problem or other. (OK, so I've never had any serious rebooting problem with OS X, but I have had a reboot show up stuff missing from launchctl and the login items, the sort of thing that's an outsize pain to fix when you were in the middle of something.)

Can somebody with some research experience comment on the effectiveness of this survey?

Being inexperienced with this type of process, it would seem to me that ~600 people is a far too small number to get reliable results, specially when the "change" in opinion is from two different ~300 sized cohorts.

Also, wouldn't there be a large amount of variables that could affect the outcome in that ~1 month period? Aren't there better methods to isolate independent variables or is it just very hard to do that in an inquiry like this?
I don't understand why it's search engine's burden to bear for right to be forgotten. Shouldn't the takedown notices go to the source materials, eg newspapers, who actually contains the knowledge?

It's really, really hard to figure out how activism affects public sentiment. Aggressive activism, on its surface, seems counterproductive. How does pissing people off by blocking their commute help change their mind on climate change? That's a very reasonable and intuitive question.

But if we look back at history, there's plenty of empirical evidence that aggressive activism does work to advance its goals. Many of the protests against the Vietnam War were far more disruptive than anything we've seen from climate activists, and engendered a far more serious backlash--the point of National Guard soldiers shooting at college student protesters. But ultimately public sentiment did turn against the war.

Burt's Bush and XXXTentacion's Death: Why Facebook Moderators Fail
If it's all as you say then since Jim is saying he wants everything and you should get nothing despite the fact hat you legally own 40% of the company without condition, I'd now be a hard ass, assert I own 40% of the company, and that I intend to defend that ownership. Put Jim on the defense. By saying you owe nothing he just told you he intends to steal two years of your full time work, which I'd estimate has a street value of at least $250,000. Someone who just told me they plan to steal a quarter million dollars of something I own is my enemy and a serious threat that requires professional legal assistance to defend against. Your ownership might be worth nothing that you can ever get back, but the labor and expertise you contributed still has a value that you yourself invested in the company and morally validates your ownership of 40% in addition to the already established legal fact.
