It was easy enough to replace the notch-reading-switch with a toggle switch on the front of the drive, and optionally wire an LED in series. Then you could write-enable without a notch, and write-protect despite one. Like the mainframe disk drives!
I'm familiar with that graph; I used to have it posted on my wall with a great big "You are here" arrow on it.

Its pretty dishonest to post today, though. Its based on models that are obsolete, and is missing 6 more years of arctic ice extent. Using an anomalous minimum is just as bad as the deniers use of an anomalous maximum temperature from an El Nino year.

There's plenty of reason to be alarmed at the state of the climate and cryosphere, but it is important to be honest about it.

> The implication is that internal Amazon services exclusively use AWS APIs.

Untrue. Some even use older version of AWS "core" services (S3), not the latest and greatest version of AWS services.
This is insane. He's been a politician for many years. What could he possibly say that doesn't have any nouns in common with some other issue? Busses, models, bridges, what else is Johnson now banned from life for mentioning?

> There are a few details that may save Picnic’s pizzas from tasting as if a robot made them. For starters, the dough preparation, sauce making and baking — the real art of pizza — is left in the capable, five-fingered hands of people.

So it's fundamentally just a sauce and topping sprinkler?

When Uber trialed Slack in 2015, there were clear performance issues. Uber was aware of the potential issues ahead of time and slowly onboarded individual teams. As the onboarding went on, functionality like searching for an individual user clearly deteriorated.

I left Uber before the late 2017 Slack test, so I know nothing about it, but I think "It costs too much" is a very fair objection to using a chat app, especially for an unprofitable company that would have to pay for >30k seats.

At this point, I'm sure that Slack has resolved these performance issues for the sake of onboarding all companies that are Uber-sized or larger.
I remain convinced that social media is bad for society
>>>The dystopian military enforcers wear bulletproof powered armor, and private ownership of any weapon that can pierce that armor is a "grievous threat to public order," punishable by summary execution.

Which sounds like a deterrent.....until the insurgents use autonomous vehicle technology to pilot dump trucks full of fertilizer explosives into the enforcers.

15 years? Very odd. I mean the decisions we make now are very important but if humanity gets wiped out it will be sometime in the 75-150 year timescale.
At its core Facebook is a great and useful tool, but like everything else that is sold to corporate influence its primary purpose rots away. It _should be_ a way to interact with close friends and family, but it’s become a breeding ground for ads, and ads welcome misinformation—for the right price.

Honestly—there’s no reason a social network can’t be decentralized these days. Give people back their friendship circles and their information.

My understanding of Facebook is that it taps into human necessity for socialization, but it’s only masquerading as such and yields too-many, and over-stimulating relationships based on false pretense.
https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/arctic-sea-ice/ has September minimum figures up to 2018, and you've already found 2019.
Oy.

For those who know no Spanish, the second translates as "I'm pregnant!" not "I'm embarrassed!"

I'm not sure I remember exactly correctly, but you can't say "I'm hot" (Ich bin heise) in German because it will be taken to mean "I'm aroused." You have to say something more like "It's too warm in here." (schoen warm -- though that's usually spelled in German with an umlaut over the o, not an e after it, I'm just on a "dumb" American keyboard)
Or why don't you just post your actual beliefs and thoughts without worrying about the votes, or being devil's advocate needlessly (subsequently, whenever I've encountered someone playing 'devil's advocate' they are saying the things they want to say, but are too afraid of the reaction of those around them to actually own that)?

Honestly, if your opinions are being hammered on a site, regardless of the site, you have one of two things:

(a) an unhealthy forum/circlejerk

(b) shithead opinions.

It's up to you to figure out which it is.
Your parent comment kind of ripped that one out of context by omitting the following statement that is supposed to contrast with the preceding statement in a humorous way (IMHO).

6) Anyone who doesn’t do this will be fired.
7) Thank you; have a nice day!

This makes it sound like hyperbole instead, or a quip used to essentially communicate "It's very high priority".
I wonder what are the social implications of these types of machinery.

On the one hand, cheaper means more people can afford it, thus more inclusion.

On the other hand, pizza making is not such a harmful job, comparing to let's say mining in which a robot actually saves lives, to justify substituting hand labor. Is it actually leaving people unemployed?

I guess places where cheap food is sold will continue to sell cheap food, so instead of underpaying someone to do the job, a robot does this, leaving people free to do more intellectually demanding jobs.

I guess the real question is then, how can we reallocate people and give them better, more meaningful jobs and not leave them helpless.

Don't get me wrong. Any form of job is respectable. There is always going to be demand for higher quality versions of the same product, where, hopefully people are not underpaid. I mean better job in comparing to poor working conditions.
If all belligerents had access to robots for fighting each other; if only robots could be used in warfare; and if the outcome were to have no effect on the welfare of the people, then the people would be impartial as to the outcome. If the outcome didn’t matter, there would be no reason to even manufacture the robots, let alone send them to fight each other. Because only robots could fight, war would be moot.

My point was that unless people change, the causes of war will remain.

> More than a third of restaurant owners are having trouble filling jobs... And more than 80 percent of workers will change jobs each year, requiring employers to constantly train recruits.

Maybe pay people more and treat them better?

But I can see the appeal of restaurant automation. Machines can work 24/7, don't need health insurance, don't fight for higher wages, don't need to be trusted around cash registers, etc.
The carbon locked up in fossil fuels and a lot of sedimentary rocks was in the atmosphere at some point. Granted the sun was a bit cooler, but the earth has been drastically warmer in the past and life went on just fine. We have the technology today to grow all of our food in hydroponic greenhouses in Siberia and Canada, but food is so cheap that nobody is bothering to.
I haven't used Putty with a smartcard for a while (about a year); but I certainly didn't have to use a fork. The card was a FSF GnuPG card.

Off topic reply, you should monitor the amount of malicious traffic coming from DO networks too. (I did for a few customers at different isps and its insane)
Programatically invoking the "Save As" dialog seems troublesome. Maybe there could be a signed WebExtension blob in the file, too - or it should download the latest updated library script every time the file is opened (although then there are security & CORS issues).
The only scenarios I can come up with for making earth uninhabitable or wiping out humanity within 15 years are biological warfare or freak astronomic events (giant meteor impact, being hit by a supernova etc). Maybe a pole shift. None of these seem likely (well, the pole shift might be happening right now, but we likely have a millenia left to figure that one out).

I can imagine that we have set the feedback cycles in motion that will make Florida uninhabitable. But I fail to imagine how we might make Germany uninhabitable within 150 years (small coast completely covered by costal defenses, most of the country over 200m above sea level, well equiped for snow so a local ice age could be managed, fairly far north so warming isn't a major threat to agriculture). Even if we managed to make that uninhabitable we could just move to Siberia.

Same as when you water-board people.
I agree. Everyone is unique due to their genetic expression from a lifetime of immune function and response. There is limited data and close to zero statistical confidence for the human population about what constitutes effective antibody levels for immunity because antibody levels are almost never measured in vaccine recipients. For example, the chicken pox vaccine trial groups were in the low thousands of people (search and read). The levels of vaccine sub-proteins and adjuvants are almost never measured in recipients. So while disease levels have decreased, likely due to vaccines and other environmental issues, there is almost no measurable data for antibody titer levels or accumulation and immune responses to the vaccine or any other ingredients or injection sites.

The HLA gene SNPs can help indicate reaction to vaccine subproteins and the immune response, or the accumulation of adjuvants like Aluminum, Mercury, etc in some people (scientific studies are starting to emerge on this). I know of three different vaccine+recipients (flu, polio, rabies) who suffered from or are still suffering from Guillane-Barre syndrome which started within days of injections. My son now has tendon flexor issues and had transient synovitis in the leg/hip near his chicken pox vaccine injection. The doctors dismiss any connection to the vaccine with zero data to back up their claim when in fact it by far the largest factor (detailed analysis of my son's leg, material accumulation, and genetic testing could shed more light).

This is the text of the second amendment: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." From its advent until somewhere around the mid to late 20th century it was interpreted universally as an individual right. The founding fathers and others of the time wrote extensively on this and it was not controversial for centuries.

Wiki provides numerous examples of early commentary here. [1] I find the most compelling and clear to be that of Judge Thomas M. Cooley, which I'll include at the bottom due to its length. In brief form: he posits that if the law were constrained only to the militia, and not the masses of people that may comprise it, then it would be quite a pointless amendment as the very government it seeks to protect individuals from could undermine it by inaction or neglect in regards to the formation of that militia.

What happened in 2008 was DC vs Heller. [2] After DC banned guns in 1975, a police officer found himself in a situation where he was able to have a gun during his line of duty but was left unarmed in the increasingly dangerous and deteriorating neighborhood that he lived in. He petitioned the NRA for help fighting the law. They refused, so he went to the Cato Institute. They (Heller along with 5 other citizens) filed suit, it made its way to the supreme court, and the supreme court unambiguously affirmed that it's indeed an individual right.

[1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United...

[2] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_v._Heller

Full quote of Judge Cooley:

"It might be supposed from the phraseology of this provision that the right to keep and bear arms was only guaranteed to the militia; but this would be an interpretation not warranted by the intent. The militia, as has been elsewhere explained, consists of those persons who, under the law, are liable to the performance of military duty, and are officered and enrolled for service when called upon. But the law may make provision for the enrolment of all who are fit to perform military duty, or of a small number only, or it may wholly omit to make any provision at all; and if the right were limited to those enrolled, the purpose of this guaranty might be defeated altogether by the action or neglect to act of the government it was meant to hold in check. The meaning of the provision undoubtedly is, that the people, from whom the militia must be taken, shall have the right to keep and bear arms; and they need no permission or regulation of law for the purpose. But this enables the government to have a well-regulated militia; for to bear arms implies something more than the mere keeping; it implies the learning to handle and use them in a way that makes those who keep them ready for their efficient use; in other words, it implies the right to meet for voluntary discipline in arms, observing in doing so the laws of public order."
The Earth's magnetic field is created from electrodynamo activity in the liquid iron core of the Earth. A solar super storm would have basically no influence on the millions of cubic kilometers of conducting and convecting iron. After the storm had passed, the magnetic field on the Earth's surface would be unchanged.

As to your last question, when the Earth's field flips direction (polarity reversal) or tries to flip but returns to the original polarity (magnetic excursion), the Earth's magnetic field drops to around 10% of the normal field strength and is no longer dipolar. This would cause many current satellites to be destroyed by the solar wind, but since drops in the field to this level takes hundreds or thousands of years, there is little to worry about.
Yeah, I haven't done any tests on this myself but the algorithm is frustrating. I see a lot of posts from people I am not that close with, but I don't really scroll the feed anymore. The only people who really like my posts are family members, and I've heard that once Facebook marks a post as "relevant to family" then it mostly gets pushed to your relatives' newsfeeds, so I'm not sure if non-family people are even seeing my posts.
I just have a list of people that matter to me, and make sure to text or call each of them every couple weeks or so to see what's up. And I have their birthdays next to their names :)
The US Navy is already experimenting with producing synthetic jet fuel on aircraft carriers using power from the nuclear reactor. Their concern is with reducing the logistics chain rather than environmentalism. But if the research results are made public they could be applied to commercial aviation.
I know why you got downvoted, but i actually think you're overestimating the impact climate change would have on animals.

Earth has known far more extreme climate in the past than even the +4 degrees that we could reach because of human CO2 emissions. Some species may disappear from some parts of the globe, but for sure new ones would emerge thanks to increased temperatures in colder places.

However, never has a single specie had such a huge direct mechanical impact on the habitat of all the other species all around the world.

I feel a bit stupid, but does the product look really bad? Why are they hyping it? I thought it would compete with restaurants, but it really looks like a frozen pizza. Weird distribution of ingredients, weird dough without a real crust and not properly baked (compared to for example a pizza baked in real a wood oven or from from a electrical pizza oven). It certainly doesn't look like a normal pizza.
I'm sure your assertion of checks and balances is very helpful for the folks living out their lives in Gitmo with the force feedings and the indefinite detention without due process thanks to a technicality in regards to jurisdiction, as was the parent posts' assertion.

With that in mind, on the balance of it, America is overwhelmingly a rule of law jurisdiction, and the PRC is not. There's definitely magnitudes here.

My point is neither side is all good or all bad, and looking at it that way is harmful to the discourse.
Federal elections are not the only things that matter - state and local decisions have an impact. Obviously not perfect - even with the money affecting government we have the ABILITY to change that over some time period, and lobbying in some places can help. I am unsure about what exactly you are complaining about.
I worked in a Costco, making pizzas all day. The stretching part was achieved via an oiled hydraulic press. Two big ol' plates of metal squished the dough out to pizza shape.

You'd transfer it to a metal grate and then sauce, cheese, and top it. Operation was pretty quick, as long as the dough was in the right condition.
There is a very small subset of people who do.

There's also companies who are posting things like "Hey we won some irrelevant award yay us." Or more likely, employees posting this about their own as a public signal that they are "all in" on "company."

It's mostly for signalling for especially aspirational people. But generally speaking, 99% of the utility of LinkedIn is to have a public resume so recruiters can find you. At least in my case.
> How about we start everywhere that can help?

Some things just aren’t worth the effort, in terms of outcomes. Additionally, doing useless things gives people moral license, and absolves them of feeling like they need to do more.

If we pay attention to both outcomes and psychology, then it makes sense to focus on big things.

This is my understanding of the Left's argument against carbon taxes.

Energy (heating, car fuel, etc) is required to live in our society. If you add more taxes on it, people aren't really going to change their behavior and do less of it.

In every case of these taxes, the energy companies will pass 100% of the taxes onto the consumer. If you can afford the taxes, you won't change your behavior. If you can't afford the taxes, the govt pays you back.

Just not effective in reducing CO2 or encouraging alternative energies.

Yes, this is much more into the spot.

But i think will be a long way til we reach tools that are more like that.

We are very dependent of the current data formats, software and tools, and going into this direction, would mean to leave a lot of working good stuff behind.
