It wouldn't matter if there was direct evidence linking 5G to cancer. "Global Industry" sells us things that cause cancer. They sell us things made with things that cause cancer.

I wish that I weren't so cynical, but I just don't think that anything would stop the initial deployment of something like this.

The amount of money that is expected to be made by content creators, network operators, and everyone in between, just makes it incredibly unlikely that health concerns would be taken seriously.

Unless you could force these companies to account for health outcomes as a real cost of doing business and not an externality that could be fobbed off on the legal system or public budgets...I just don't see how you change it.

> Why not detect my coming and wait for an efficient yellow timing, thus I am not wasting gas and braking unnecessarily?

At that scale trying to do anything clever will cost billions. Most red lights don't even detect motorcycles standing right on top of their sensor, we're decades away from smart lights detecting your car speed/distance and computing the most optimised yellow light timing.

Also, in most cases you should be able to roll off the throttle and coast to the light without having to aggressively brake. If it's not the case the yellow light is not timed well and you can contact the company handling the roadwork in your city.

For the non-physical bots, it would've made sense to have them "shadow" a human until they were equally or more capable and only then roll out a hotel with them taking the helm.

Things like reception desk Q&A could easily be integrated discretely, with the human employee getting help from the bot and overriding when it falls short.

There is already a fair amount of automation for tasks like self check in at large economy hotel chains in the UK - and you can see how well it goes down with customers from the queues (which tend to favour waiting for the human assistants except at busy times)

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.

Climate change are now a multi-billion dollar industry with a lot of researchers, companies and international and national governments tied up with it. They have zero interest in changing opinion or even questioning if this is all correct.

One similarity to this post that sticks out:

> Maybe you just try the JavaScript way to see if it works:

Given that the final syntax for async/await was a bit controversial (postfix .await), the compile folks implemented parsing for (at least) the JavaScript way of doing it, and so you get a good error message telling you the correct way:

error: incorrect use of `await`
--> src/lib.rs:2:5
|
2 | await bar()
| ^^^^^^^^^^^ help: `await` is a postfix operation: `bar().await`

This kind of thing can really help polyglots, as well as people new to the language.

A lot of people are going to read only the headline and shout "MIT says global warming isn't true" into their science denial bubbles!

From my reading of this, the study does not say that sea-level rise won't happen, it's just saying one theoretical mechanism for RAPID sea-level rise might not be correct, so it'll be slower than some models predict.

The study relates to ice cliffs on land and the theory that if the ice shelves in the sea break apart, then the ice cliffs on land will break apart rapidly, contributing to rapid sea-level rise. Ice already in the sea doesn't raise sea-levels but ice currently on land would. The study uses modelling to demonstrate that runaway event is unlikely, so the sea-level rise from that even should be removed from estimates.

There's another paper about this from February_:https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-0901-4

Some quotes from the papers:

- "We’re saying that scenario, based on cliff failure, is probably not going to play out. That’s something of a silver lining. That said, we have to be careful about breathing a sigh of relief. There are plenty of other ways to get rapid sea-level rise."

- Ice cliff collapse... "is not required to reproduce sea-level changes due to Antarctic ice loss ... without it we find that the projections agree with previous studies (all 95th percentiles are less than 43 centimetres)."

A couple more things:

- Both papers still agree that sea-level rise will happen, but maybe not so fast and not so much. (Whether your house is under one foot of water or two doesn't make much difference to if you can live there.)

- If your discussion point against climate change is based on the models being wrong/inaccurate/too varied, then you have to discount this evidence, as it too is based on modelling.

- MIT's press department need to write better headlines.
of course, but I'm not sure those discoveries have been "put to work" with the intention and mass organization in the same way climate science has been. I think with climate science we are trying to organize scientific knowledge and use it to solve a problem on a planetary scale that has not really been done before. There have been huge international interdisciplinary efforts like CERN and the ISS for example. But nothing so messily intertwined with people's personal lives, values, principles as climate science.

UNIX and C, Web and JavaScript, Windows and .NET/C++, macOS and Objective-C/Swift, Android and J̶a̶v̶a̶/Kotlin/C++....

Google only cares to push Kotlin on Android, and it only matters because Google visibly doesn't want to move Java beyond the Java 8 subset that Android currently supports, so the choice is between an handicapped Java support or Kotlin.

Until there is a JVM written in Kotlin, and Kotlin gets first class support in all Java IDEs instead being a tool to sell InteliJ licenses, it is just yet another language that happens to target the JVM.

This ignoring that Kotlin already has a couple of impedance mismatches with the JVM, sequences vs streams, lambdas vs SAM, co-routines vs fibers, inline classes vs data classes.

In 2010, a meta-analysis seeking to reevaluate the scientific evidence behind the prevailing view that dietary saturated fats are tied to adverse effects on cardiovascular health was published.[1]

The study's conclusion, "a meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic [sic] studies showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD", unleashed a wave of news reports claiming dietary saturated fats were no longer considered harmful, further tilling the grounds for a movement urging the increase in consumption of saturated fats for added health benefits.

The 2010 meta-analysis has been criticized here: https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/91/3/497/4597072

Again, I'm not a party to this particular debate on dietary saturated fats, but I am critical of the suggestion that a meta-analysis of an inconclusive body of studies will yield an actionable conclusion.

That can be, we had some issues with FF permissions for things to be copied to clipboard. We had to manually add that permission to the install process (only for FF). And I missed doing that a few times. (sorry about that).
We are about to automate that process in the next releases so that does not happen anymore.
I assume what happened is that the extension was turned off because on update it required some of the permissions to be granted again.

Notice that from now into the future it is no longer a line, but a range that widens the further into the future it goes. The base of which continues in a perfectly linear fashion. It's attempting to encompass simple progression and the likely impact of tipping points and accelerating melt.

So no I don't notice anything suspicious by including uncertainty on the plot. If you look at the range of IPCC predictions, current measured sea level rise is tracking the linear portion of their worst case prediction. (RCP8.5) Draw whatever conclusion you will.
No, they aren't reusing the plastic coke bottles like in the old days. The downstream recycling isn't handled by Coca-Cola, so they don't have to do anything with those returned bottles.

The thing is, it does make the product more expensive. A ten cent deposit on a dollar product means a customer has pull $1.10 out of their pocket or CC balance. Customers don't think logically, and even if they do, they have to assign some monetary value to having to bring the bottle back, the chance that it may be discarded, etc.

It does hurt sales. If it didn't, the Coke would already be $1.10. (My exact numbers are fictitious, obviously, but the point is that Coke has already set their price at the number that maximizes profit.)

I'm not opposed to bottle deposits. They're highly effective. I just think it's disingenuous to act as if Coke here is opposed to recycling in general. They're not. They're opposed to the reduced sales that will come from higher prices.

That difference gives recycling advocates options. They can agree to spend some money on educating consumers, or making bottle returns easier, or anything else that might help ease the effect Coke is trying to avoid. They can probably find some common ground. There's no possible reason for Coke to be opposed to recycling in general.

What I have found dealing with people that are Aspie/ADD (father and brother) is they expect others to change behavior to adapt to themselves, but refuse to change their own behavior to adapt to others. (even when directly told their behavior is not acceptable)

I would say the exact same thing applies to the neurotypicals but they are completely oblivious because it is "normal". I have no doubt that if proportions of population were reversed being neurotypical would have its own syndrome.

Do something that better coping autistic people do and apply empathy manually and look at it from their perspective.

They flip out at violations of the most trivial norms and exclude over irrelevancies without a thought to the feelings of others.

Accepting the abuse is the standard "desired outcome" for those with autism. They are often accused of lacking empathy by people who do things like depict an autistic child as a puppet and considered only a burden.

Largely a myth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling

"Some press reports in the 1970s speculated about continued cooling; these did not accurately reflect the scientific literature of the time, which was generally more concerned with warming from an enhanced greenhouse effect."

Acid rain was mitigated via extensive, global efforts to regulate the pollution emissions that caused it.
