I lean more toward the side that climate change is starting to become undeniable, even to subjective experience, but in either case it really is a Pascal's wager as far as I can see.

The worst case if we act as if climate change is real and it's not real is that the economy might slow a bit, and the environment probably becomes quite a bit healthier. The worst case if we act as if climate change is not real and it is in fact real is that the only place we know of in the universe where our species can exist might become uninhabitable.

"After just one night of only four or five hours’ sleep," Walker tells The Guardian, "your natural killer cells—the ones that attack the cancer cells that appear in your body every day—drop by 70%." Sleep deprivation has such serious outcomes that "the World Health Organisation has classed any form of night-time shift work as a probable carcinogen."

^Matthew Walker, presumably the 70% drop is from work at his Berkeley lab

What's the argument here, that average people are too dumb to know that their computer needs to be on to access something running on it? That they're too dumb and poor to find and buy another device to run their Plex server if they don't want to use their PC?

I think you underestimate people a bit too much.
Shame they're (still) spoofing certs.

A couple notes I wanted to point out. First, the competitions do not have to be physical. Most commonly I see intellectual sparing. Attempting to be so quick intellectually that the aggressor pushes their idea through by not giving anyone else time to think is a very common tactic.

Second, play fighting is one of the quickest ways to learn how to check your ego and gain humility. I've met plenty of very smart people with egos so big it got in the way of finding the best solutions.

Commingling isn't a problem with the complaints. Commingling reflects a deliberate profit motivated decision at the highest level of Amazon's management. Amazon executives have evaluated the health risks of commingling food. The safety risks of commingling electronics. They've calculated it more profitable to lawyer up when bad things happen.
Why Doesn't Someone Write a COBOL-Python Cross-Compiler?
RE: compilation speed, given that it appeals to an entirely different demographic than the one being reached out to in this blog post I suspect it was not mentioned because it would only be distracting. Nice though!

Arduino with Python: How to Get Started
The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering by ‎Frederick Brooks should be read by everyone, even though it was written in 1975. Some things don't change no matter the technology change. Sometimes I am amazed to have co-worked who have never heard of it.
>> Hayek is arguing that no centralised agent has perfect information. The author is arguing that Amazon is approaching the stage when it would have perfect information about the consumers it serves.

>This statement in the article is a huge misstatement.

At least blame the right person: me. The above statement is a paraphrase of what I thought the author's argument was.

>First, Amazon only has information about the goods it sells.

>There are huge supply chains behind the products it sells that it does not see.

And it is in the process of acquiring more information. Amazon isn't just a retailer anymore: its main source of operating income is now AWS[0]. Also, dredmorbius has pointed out[1] that Amazon is doing vertical integration with its Amazon Business offering[2].

>There are many things it doesn't sell, and many things that it can't sell.

This is irrelevant, because these "many things" exist in a market outside of Amazon's "jurisdiction". Even in the historical centrally planned economies, these "many things" also existed.

>There are also many things of value that are not exchanged with money.

And they are getting rarer and rarer, because monetisation is now the Great Project.

>In other words, it has exactly the information that Hayek says a market participant has, and no more: the price at which other market participants will buy whatever quantity of one's products are sold.

Actually, Amazon has more information than a single market participant has. Since it is the market because it is a marketplace-as-a-service, it has exactly the information that Hayek says the sum total of all market participants have. This invalidates Hayek's argument that no centralised agent can possibly collect that much information. This point is what I believe the author of the article is trying to make.

> Companies are afforded protections and benefits under the law. They owe society something in return for that.

I don't like this way of thinking. Individuals are also afforded unsolicited "protections and benefits". Therefore, individuals owe society? That's basically like the Mafia offering you protection, at a price.

They don't. What you're describing would take them out of common carrier status and make their business unworkable. What they do is respond to notices from copyright holders.

I desire the same type of "unbiased" information myself but I do not believe it is attainable for this topic. The amount of emotion that people have about the effects of pollution on temperature makes it hard to take anything at face value. The best I do is try to read up on different opinions and ignore people telling me not to look or listen to something. Ultimately, though, I have a Ph.D. in physics and not meteorology, so there is a limit to how well I'm going to be able to understand the actual science involved.

No, because you're only exposed to radiation if you actually use a phone. Google for "inverse square law". Your exposure is orders of magnitude lower from "second-hand cellphones" than from using it yourself; it's not like second-hand smoking.
>See the date. As others have noted, even thought this post was on Friday, which was the 11th, the date on the post is the 12th, indicating that it was posted from overseas, possibly China. That's not a big deal in and of itself, but let's me talk about how these things are done.

Ah yes, UTC == China. Very reasonable logic here!

This post was almost certainly made on Fri Oct 11 2019 17:18:58 PDT from Irvine, CA.

Every single post on that site has the timestamp in UTC format, this is an utterly ridiculous conspiracy theory. Either Mark Kern is misleading on purpose or he's a complete moron.
I started trying to write out a reply going point by point, but it's just exhausting. When someone is that far from reality it's just too much work to try to pull them back, and they're not going to do any of the work themselves.

Arctic sea ice has a third of the volume it had when I was young, smaller than at any point we've ever measured, can reconstruct from ships logs, or estimate from ice cores. You'd think that kind of absurd level of change would give some of these people pause, but it doesn't.
If my VPN provider trades user data, the service will quickly deteriorate and it won't be a VPN provider for long. But even if that is the case it wouldn't be my primary concern.

I don't even live in a country were I have to fear much at all from malicious authorities, but they wouldn't even blink before trading privacy for perceived security.

I might change my opinion if there were actual consequences for sharing user data. I believe it when I see it.

Otherwise I just like privacy, information is power and I don't like to share with the state.
I knew other grad students who'd say, "oh, it's a meta analysis" and then toss it in the bin. But in recent years I've met people who worked on boards for cities and hospitals where they dug though a lot of papers and wrote detailed meta analysis about the larger body of work. They'd comment on things that seemed consistent and inconstant, and tried to help others make well informed decisions.

With a meta-analysis, you do have to look at the whole thing. Phrased like, "when controlled for.." you can't control for some things over 10 different studies. You need to read how they attempted to control for things and why the came to their conclusions.

They are still valuable and you shouldn't just chuck them in the bin.

I suppose my anecdata supports your sentiment. Though, most criticisms and support I hear about climate change are based on anecdata. So I dismiss them as such.

Like hearing a family member or friend say, "Summers are getting hotter, and we got 2 extra inches of snow this past winter. Climate change must be real!". Usually these types of comments are ignorant of multi-year long climate cycles.

I can personally say that I have no idea what the state of the climate is, or how much humans have had an impact on it. Each article I read is only a small glimpse of the big picture, and I am not a subject-matter expert. So I try not to spread FUD.

Confidence Became the New Happiness
To counter what most people seem to be saying here, I definitely skim most things I read because I have a short attention span. This is especially true of online materials, which I'm fine with, but I don't like when I'm reading in my spare time and find myself doing the same thing. I try to do the opposite of a speed reader and ensure I have some subvocalization. It helps me remember what I read.
The arguments you're making - "climate change industry profiting! global cooling! scaremongering!" - tend to be deployed to prevent that effort.

It is, for example, rather curious to focus on "multi-billion dollar" climate science but not to count the multi-trillion dollar fossil fuel industry as an interested party.
So my summary from the comments here is that almost all scientific study is junk, except when one is certain themselves it isn't.
Let's build an interactive display of different models. Like Coinbase.com/charts but for climate models.

You can check and uncheck various factors (ice sheets, greenland, methane tundra).

You should have your friends on a guest network instead, have this on a DMZ, and tell them to use a VPN over such guest network.
Exactly.

Further, if I were an FBA seller, I would probably avoid shipping in expired goods in case they are checked. There's also the issue of goods passing expiry if they are warehoused too long.

I suspect many of the expired food sellers are actually FBM, just like the used book sellers. Avoids a lot of potential headaches associated with FBA.
I use one when I have to connect to a public access point, or really any network that's not owned by someone I know and trust. It's not a perfect privacy/security plan -- you're right that I can't completely trust the VPN provider either -- it's just better than the alternative.
Elm was my favorite Unix email client back before GUI-based email clients became a thing. I still think it's the best text-based email client out there.

You are being downvoted because you are spreading lies and misinformation. No AGW nightmare scenarios have been spread for "hundreds of years" (except maybe a biblical end of times, which is not scientific) and the "global cooling" of the 60s/70s meme has also long been debunked.

Please read up on climate science before making outrageous statements like you do (and provide sources for your claims). Maybe you can start learning here:

So, if there isn't a solution to do something at scale, then the answer is to simply not do said something at scale.

The defence that "this isn't technologically possible" isn't at all a defence. The _most_ charitable interpretation would be that this is Amazon stress-testing how well they can handle co-mingling of various product lines... but that's still not great if they don't pull the experiment immediately after realizing they can't.
>It’s a huge risk for the person or company hiring, so of course they’re going to trust their gut feeling.

What makes SW so special?

This is as true for most small businesses that are just starting out (e.g. real estate work, etc). Yet I do not see an emphasis on culture fit there. They are very picky and will filter for one/two traits, but they're clear and up front about those traits. They don't not hire people because the person had differing hobbies, etc. Partners, maybe - but not employees.
For the physics and art, maybe. But how about NPC AI in e.g. a market-arbitrage game, that shows known psychological biases that can be exploited? Or a damage system in an FPS where people/creatures get weaker and slower as they get hurt, and leave blood trails to find them by if they’re not careful? Or how about an item crafting system that’s just regular chemistry, requiring complex glassware setups, catalysts, ice baths, filtering and distilling, fume hoods, etc.?

Games sure don’t seem to favor fidelity when it comes to the “game” part. :)
There's plenty of ways that non-ionizing radiation can result in increased cancer rates. For example, they can induce currents in the DNA (DNA is s molecular wire) which might jam the base excision repair system and prevent it from detecting DNA damage (which is a redox-driven process).

What's even scarier is that this sort of an effect will not be found in a standard Ames test and also is unlikely to be found in highly controlled lab settings, since it requires a second factor - a contaminating primary mutagen - to manifest its effect.

I'm pretty sure the answers to the questions you have posed is - no.

People who appear to me to live happy lives don't seem to have gone through those phases to get there, or regard them as important.
The browser (as should your email client) appears to have rejected those certs.
This is again a misleading response. If these are uncertainty ranges, it should be statistically absurd for reality to always end up at the extreme low end of the predicted range.

How many times does that have to happen before you would have to say the prediction isn't a good one?
In general, Leftists are people who hold equality as their principle political value. Originally, leftists were people who opposed monarchy and supported democracy, because they wanted everyone to have an equal role in making political decisions. Socialists and Communists are universally considered left-wing, because they support economic equality. Movements that advocate for the social equality of disempowered groups, like women, immigrants, racial minorities, and LGBTQ people, are also usually considered left-wing.

In the US, the Democratic party is the more left-wing of the two main parties and is sometimes included under the "leftist" umbrella. However, some people, mostly on the far-left, reserve the term "leftist" for those who oppose capitalism.
For dedicated servers this would work, especially for VPN where data-loss is "acceptable".

> I will probably get downvoted, but climate change has turned into a religion where any sort of criticism or questions are not appreciated and you are immediately treated as a heretic.

Interesting to say in response to a scientific study published by a reputable institution that questions previously believed theories on climate change. I haven't seen anyone here calling MIT a heretic institution for doing that.
You can train people in reading and good writing far more efficiently than an English degree. Edit: And I'd value students who take their study more seriously a lot more, but most are just third-rate students at third-rate schools getting a piece of paper.

See there's the thing. Wouldn't you think there would be a few vested interests who would be putting billions into research proving it ain't so? It's reasonable to assume they've tried and failed given how little there is questioning the basic premise, just arguing about detail.

Some estimates will turn out to be pessimistic. Many have turned out to be happening far worse than predicted. Both are normal and expected.

Point of order - acid rain scare: You do realise that the world agreed to mandate sulphur scrubbers on coal power stations, and hugely limit vehicle emissions in response to that? It's not like it magically went away on its own.
If it is truly unsafe, yes. And develop a new next-gen wireless technology. Just because someone developed it does not mean we have to adopt it.
