"We have highlighted the remarkable possibility and potential of generating small amounts of power by radiative cooling at night using low-cost, off-the-shelf, commodity components (less than $30 USD for our initial proof of concept demonstration). In off-grid locations throughout the world, this approach of generating light from darkness highlights an entirely new way of maintaining lighting, entirely passively, at night. The power generated could also be used to power small sensors in remote locations, with their lifetimes not being limited by batteries but the lifetime of the thermoelectric module, which can be an order of magnitude longer"

The invention seems more fitting for certain remote sensor applications rather than say, lighting for an off-grid home that's already served by the various solar-battery-lighting companies that've been around for over a decade.

>The optimistic belief that economic growth and market integration would liberalize authoritarian or totalitarian countries should by now be wholly debunked.

Yes, but the belief that the market/capitalism can enforce a set of values, good and bad, lives on.
Is the nebulous idea of "illegal aliens" (often the people in ICE facilities are legally applying for asylum) not political enemies here? And is the separation of families, including death of people in ICE custody and the "losing" of children, with no information on how long any individual will be kept under ICE custody, not altogether even remotely matching this idea you depict?
Thanks for the detailed reply! Getting a real perspective instead of an article is always great.
That does seem to be the case. The "big" announcement at last year's Blizzcon was a Chinese free to play mobile game with a Diablo skin.
> That arc bends towards increased fitness in a given ecological/economic niche, but no more than that.

We went from single-cell -> multi-cell. Has the reverse ever happened? Maybe "fitness in a given ecological niche" is linked to complexity in some deep way.

I'm not sure how to define complexity. It isn't obvious that humans are "more complex" than cockroaches but it does seem obvious that humans and cockroaches are more complex than viruses and that life has become more complex over the last few billion years.
Not to denigrate supporting any kind of human rights, but promoting LGBT and humanitarian causes in almost any western country won't lose them a single customer. Today, that's the easy way out. 20-30 years ago it would be gutsy.

"Most X's are also Y's" does not imply "Most Y's are also X's." We would need additional information about the X and Y populations to make this stronger claim.

However, making this claim incorrectly is one of the more common logical fallacies. Given that, it seems more appropriate to attribute the error to logical fallacy than to specific racist intent, again, unless we have more information about the authors with which to make this stronger claim.

Cardinal Richelieu. Maybe; origin of the quote is a bit disputed.

In any case, it's a cute sentiment but it's unclear it has any bearing on a world that isn't an authoritarian universe with a power-protected clergy class. Perhaps in terms of modern-day utility, we can interpret it as a warning to always check primary sources, not trust someone else to have accurately or honestly arranged six lines of text from a third party.

(Unfortunately for rms, the primary sources don't actually make him look that good in this situation, since he decided to "um actually" a conversation about rape).

The difference here is that although the US government doesn't want us to talk about September 11th, I'm totally free to do so at any time, on any channel, using any medium. I can freely call George W. Bush an idiot and a dupe for playing right into Osama Bin Laden's plans. I can say that the TSA and the further restrictions on freedom of movement have been one of the worst aspects of the post-911 world in the US. And the persistent culture of fear that has grown up as I've become an adult has been a scary thing for me to face. And I'm free to say that the news media in the US is creating this culture and sustaining it.

I can say all of this without fear of recrimination from my government. I'm enrolled in TSA Precheck, never harassed by the police, can move freely within the country, and am free to buy or view whatever I like in spite of my lack of support for that part of our national government. One of our founding fathers is famously quoted as saying "I do not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it." We take that statement as gospel. For us to censor our citizens is an affront to our national dignity.

Can you say that the student protests in Tianenmen Square were met with a police response that was massive overkill? Or that attempts to censor Hong Kong's free speech are unacceptable? Or that free speech against your government is an inalienable right? Because if not then there's not really much similarity between the US and China despite how it may seem to you.
In a sense, the idea of eternal recurrence (and much of Nietzsche's philosophy) was a direct attempt to reject Eastern (or Buddhist) conclusions.

Schopenhauer had a metaphysics & morality that was fairly consistent with (and maybe informed by) Buddhism - i.e. existence is suffering/dukhka, this arises from will/trishna, and its cessation can be achieved through something that looks like the dissolution of the self.

Nietzsche, who was an avid reader of Schopenhauer, ran with the idea that life was fundamentally a process of will/craving, but spent his career trying to reject the conclusion that this is something to be overcome.

I find Nietzsche's philosophy makes a lot more sense when motivated in this manner.

Only billionaires gain from higher production of products? Makes sense. You never gained anything clearly because you've never purchased anything made in China.
Smartphones are full of this. Even if you've been using computers for decades, when you pick one up for the first time there's nothing to suggest, for example, that "swipe" is a verb, or what it does, or whether the direction matters and if so how.

I find it mind-boggling that more than a decade into the smartphone revolution there are a zillion fart apps and (AFAICT) zero tutorial apps teaching a user what the verbs and affordances and conventions are.

I'm curious what the reaction to these events has been in South Korea, where Blizzard derives a significant amount of their worth from. I would think South Korea would be particularly incensed, given that they are also a small country near China and are familiar with tyrannical rule. But I've not read up enough to know if these events are making waves there.

If they are, that's a far bigger issue for Blizzard than a handful of angry American players.
Ancient Greeks were 1000 years ahead of their time. The more you study about their history, the more you go crazy. For example the first vending machine or the automatic doors, or machines that working using steam. They were talking about robots (Talos) and had a God of Technology (Hephaestus). Some scientists believe that if Greeks didn't invaded by Persians or Romans and continued to give all this knowledge and technology to the world, we would have the industrial revolution 1000-1500 years earlier.
The comment you're replying to is suggesting a way to prevent a PR crisis like this, not a way to escape an ongoing crisis.

It's hard to deny that there would be a much smaller PR issue here if the player had been prevented from voicing any opinion on Hong Kong in the first place.

Creepy means they make another person feel threatened. It's certainly not a term most women would use lightly. For example, my sister's "creepy" neighbor would come out of his apartment anytime she came home by herself and would engage her in conversation while attempting to follow her into her apartment.

That's not "flirting" (even if said guy thought that's what he was doing), it's straight up threatening behavior.
I don’t understand, isn’t this harvesting the same energy as a heat pump? (Warm earth, cold air)
A hypothetical example is drones going through a field and manually picking out weeds, increasing yield with the same amount of resources. Similarly you can get fine grained ‘crop analytics’ through drones scanning the field and acting in response.

I think there is a distinction between illegal immigrants (people who are not in the country legally as citizens or on a visa, regardless of country of origin) and asylum seekers. One has support of legislation (asylum seekers), the other does not (without disregarding the idea of national sovereignty; this thread should not be where the merits of borders and sovereignty is debated though). Regardless, everyone in ICE custody should be treated humanely and with dignity.
There Are No Zero-Cost Abstractions – CppCon 2019 [video]
They touched on this in the article, but I'll go into more detail here since it's been fashionable for years to bash on "Blub" languages like Java or Go. I myself was guilty of this for a long time until I started using these languages in settings where they shine, and developed an appreciation for them.

The argument is nothing to do with machine chugging time, and is entirely towards developer time. The problem with expressive languages like Lisp, Ruby, Python, etc. is that the language ends up varying from person to person - the more expressive the language, the more variance there is. This is a feature when you're a small team because the abstractions you build let you move quickly, but it is a bug when you're a large team maintaining a piece of software over years, where developers have come and gone. The ramp-up time to learn and understand the various abstractions that people have built over the years ends up accumulating and cancelling out the gains that those abstractions gave earlier on.

Blub languages on the other hand tend to be more uniform, so it's easier for someone who isn't very familiar with the code to dive in and understand what is going on.
Wouldn't a rival phone/computer be also assembled in China ?
It seems you are confusing the mathematical language with the concepts themselves.

Its bread and games to keep the people happy. So what would be a widely cherished food item in china that could be hijacked for a political message?
Well, assuming that was the case, it could be for several reasons.

For one, because in certain areas of philosophy (as in certain areas of life in general) what's important is how deep you went, and what insights you brought, not how clearly you expressed them.

Second, because, unlike the case accounting or physics, but not unlike paining, a particular sketch open to interpretations can more important than a perfect, but bland and meaningless, photograph. One of the roles of philosophy is to make you think, not necessarily to tell you what to think and give you exact proofs and specs.

Third, because literary techniques, including poetry, metaphor, parable, satori, and mystery, have been part of philosophy for millennia. It's not just some crude axiomatic endeavor (as it sometimes, for some philosophers, is) going from first principles to the proof some theorem.

Fourth, for the same way we don't drop physicists just because they have holes as big as what's this "dark matter", or how QM and relativity work as a cohesive whole in their theories.

That said, the case here is simpler (although part of the above hold). Nietzsche made quite a clear case. Scholars argue about the extensions and repercussions of it -- the same way computer science is still developing Turing's ideas.

ICU is a problem of our own making. Computers worked with other languages all the time before Unicode. You could say the same for pretty much any modern dependency.
Did it occur to you that, like ordinary consumer products, industrial products also oversell their efficacy?

There was just a paper released about a widely used pesticide that did not appear to actually increase yields.

If the question is, how does crop tonnage go up without water and fertilizer use, maybe the answer really is a computer helped people plan better and be less wasteful.

Or all the least efficient farmers were bankrupted out of the market.
Sorry if this sounds rude, but why does it matter if HK was more or less democratic before 1991? The protesters are not asking for a return to British rule.

In the same vein, the United States is vastly more democratic than it was a 100 years ago. That does not mean the democratic process does not need additional improvement; there are critical things worth protesting today.

"Many Experts Say We Shouldn’t Worry About Superintelligent AI. They’re Wrong"

I dunno, I might listen to the AI experts on this one.
That is not the same at all.
I agree with you, but there is no crime here, just bad work conduct, and as a professional, that makes you not as good at your job, and as an employer, it can justify letting you go.

Call it a bad cultural fit if you prefer. Someone who cannot navigate the social work environment, and makes others feel uneasy and lowers their moral is not as good an employee as someone who'd have no issue doing so, and makes everyone else motivated and confident.

As an employer, I'd probably quickly try and replace such an employee, with someone who's just as good technically, but also has better social work ethics and collaboration skills.

This is totally fair to me. Being good at your job also involves being good with coworkers and promoting a healthy work environment which boosts everyone's productivity. If you have deficiencies there, try working on it. It'll be good for your career.

Now I know what's going to happen... But what if someone totally fabricated a case against you and brought it up to your employer and now your employer falsely believes that you're a big bully and harasser and that you hurt the work environment and they fire you over that?

And I think that's a bit of a fallacy counter-argument honestly. Some kind of reification fallacy. Yes in the abstract hypothetical, this would be unjust, and you can deduce that it was in fact the accuser who was being unprofessional and fabricating an environment of blackmail. But give us any concrete case, and we can now observe the facts of that case and see if employers did an unreasonable assesement or not. For example, we might see in real cases, there is always more than one complaint made, or there are recorded behaviors like emails, chat logs, naughty passwords, etc. Or there's repeated offense, or there was prior knowledge, etc.

And again, no crime here. An employer for their business sake, might prefer to lean on better be careful rather than sorry. That makes total business sense to me.

The article is displaying an ad with the tagline "The Evolution of Watching Movies in your PJs".

I don't think the author is suggesting that you can stop technological change. The author is saying that it is fair to recognize the change often comes with a cost, and you can ask if you want to pay that cost. You can takes steps to mitigate those costs. Also, that the people who create and deploy these changes should recognize their own responsibility for it. They're not operating as blind natural forces, but deliberate human actions, and we can judge them as such.

Good that they are learning , because their designs are awful. I m struggling to understand why they consider their new adwords and adsense and search console an "upgrade". For example, I was searching the button to add a new campaign for 2 minutes between endless spinners, progressbars and "cards". There is absolutely no hierarchy in the page, even though the concepts campaign > ad group > ad are there. I don't even fathom how they manage to make such bluders on something simple

I doubt this incident would sour people on the general idea of de-platforming, anymore than people would sour on the concept of prison if someone innocent was found incarcerated.

All residential property is already exempt from the split roll initiative (unfortunately), so residential landlords don’t need to claim the small business exemption. As for nonresidential property, if the split roll initiative passes, every single commercial landowner will want to classify themselves as a small business to get the exemption from reappraisal (unfortunately), so I imagine that this will be fairly contentious. As the initiative is written, a small business must (1) occupy the property, (3)(A) employ <50 employees, (B) be managed independently, and (C) own some real estate in California (but not necessarily the property in question?!)

web pages that suck by vincent flanders
I don't really understand this question. What's a function or file to do if I ping them, talk to them with TCP/HTTP, or otherwise communicate?

I suppose I could imagine a system like that. Files could be IPv6 addressable entities that can communicate using some file access protocol, and functions could be entities that receive their arguments as the IPv6 packets I send them and that could respond with whatever their return value is.

This is too different from current OS conventions, though. Also, I'm not sure what the benefits would be. If I have an IPv6 address, how would I know that it's a local file and not a host on the other side of the planet? Wouldn't that be a problem? If a directory tells me it has a file with a certain IPv6 address, and I try to open it, is there the possibility it would send a file open request to a host elsewhere on the planet? Would I be waiting for a response to open the file until the host replies that it doesn't serve that protocol?
