Funny, all the people I know that do dumb things can't imagine themselves acting dumb.
You don't need Song of Songs, Exodus 21:10 tells you that the Bible is positive toward sex in marriage.

I don't understand how the twitter thread can claim a requirement to minimize sex in light of that.

There's a difference between the KKK being represented as heroic in BoaN and the KKK being the origin of all super heroes, though. Moore is slandering the genre, or at least attempting to, by association, and that association is absolutely not deserved.

Every culture has heroes, and every culture tells tales of impossible heroics. It would be more accurate to call Achilles the first superhero, or Beowulf, or Gilgamesh. All of these characters are larger than life, and all of them are morally flawed.

American racists had racist, American heroes. That doesn't mean that Captain America is devoid of commentary about the nation's role in today's world. And if Moore had watched Civil War, for example, I think even he would be forced to agree.

Because people enjoy it. Why do we need to fix other people's enjoyment? Would this still be a criticism if we were talking about people reading too much fiction or watching too many plays, or telling too many stories by the campfire? Maybe playing too many board and card games?
Nearly every animal with a brain has young that misbehave. Mama kangaroo, elephant, tiger, horse and chimp will put up with a certain amount of bad behavior, eg overagressive play or taking too much food, then they’ll grunt, then a growl, and then when bear cub keeps it up, Mama bear nips just hard enough to get them to stop and hopefully not do it again.

We’ve abandoned something that’s been at the core of nurturing the young for 60,000,000 years. I would assume there’s been a fair amount of natural selection at work in a fundamental aspect of the parent-child relationship. I think choosing not to teach that “when I say stop, stop” without thinking that it will not work out for a meaningful fraction of the population, seems a bit like trying to figure out what the Boeing MCAS engineers were thinking.
Let us know once you do.
Alcohol had a very long history and entrenched industry behind it where (as far as I know) weed didn't have any thing of the sort. Old shitty things that people are used to often get overlooked and a big enough portion of the population were already drinkers so when there was a push to prohibit alcohol similar to weed there was a bigger push back.
That's basically Spider-Man's usual character arc.

Concentrated solar power (CSP) is used for energy production with mediocre (though improving) performance/price, and heats to like 500°C. As the article states their technology doubles the temperature and is cheap to deploy, applying AI in the process to do so.

Sounds like a huge step forward to me. And Bill Gates is usually on track with his investments in transformative tech..
> Now what the retention looks like, that’s another story.

That's what's got me skeptical. There's a lot of people saying TikTok proves Twitter killing Vine was a bad move, but Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp are wildly different "social networks". IMO the equivalent of putting Amazon, Youtube and Wikipedia on the same "website" category.

WhatsApp is incredibly useful. It's perhaps the "lamest" of all social networks— it doesn't have "creators", it's not known for its cool filters, it has no "likes", but it works and where it's used, it's as ubiquitous and used as phone numbers once were.

Facebook is very utilitarian too. IMO they haven't become "uncool" because they dropped the ball— they went for the general population. It's like they purposefully toned down their "cool" brand to widen the age of users that could associate with it. Now you can not only find pretty much anyone on Facebook, but also buy and sell on Marketplace, find a Job, find events, restaurants, find groups for parents, study groups, groups for people with rare diseases, the list goes on.

TikTok is very popular, but what's the demographic and what's the value proposition here? Teenage entertainment? If so, they're competing with Instagram, but also YouTube and Netflix. It's also perfectly plausible its users will outgrow it by the time they go to college or enter the workforce, or once the ads pick up to keep with the operational expenses.

The real challenge for the company will come in the form or retention and the broadening of their product + user base to compete on the next level, as something useful and not just entertaining, IMO.

Same for Nemo 2. One of the first scenes (Octopus in the Zoo) was only finalized after 2 years because the puppetry and shading of the Octopus took a lot of R&D to implement
"Not comparable" is the favorite phrase of the snob. Roger Ebert thinks that video games are "not comparable" to movies. Scorsese thinks the movies he make that mine negative stereotypes of Italian-Americans are "not comparable" to superhero movies. (Funny how you find so many Italian-Americans working construction jobs but not so many making films...)

There was a "making of" feature in the 1960s Marvel Comics where Stan Lee was talking on the phone and said "How can he say it was a cheesy story? I ripped it off from the best classic I could find!"

Similarly it's just as fair to say that Shakespeare was like Joss Whedon than the converse.

The telescope in the OP whose observations were interrupted has a 4m primary mirror. Hubble has a 2.4m primary mirror.

The optical corrector lens -- just the corrector lens alone -- that is part of the camera instrument of OP has a diameter of 1m, with a mass of about 200kg. (https://www.darkenergysurvey.org/the-des-project/instrument/). The entire Starlink satellite mass is 227kg.

I don't think SpaceX is going to be putting instruments of this class on its satellites.

The way you seem to frame the presumption of innocence, arresting and detaining someone would violate it. Presumption of innocence is a legal principle once charged, it's not a trump card against being accused and held responsible for one's actions.

All the SpaceX satellites are in LEO, low enough that even in the absolute worst case scenario (which, FWIW, is not realistic), they will all de-orbit in a couple years.
It should have been a free launch title with the Index to spur sales. This is not going to do that now as a separate sale. The buzz (what little there was for an expensive VR rig) is over. It may well be good for VR overall, however.
Yes, there has to be unrest. Promising all sorts of benefits isn't the battle. Those who think they can combine the exorbitant spending of a US system with the social financing of a European system are not serious players in these discussions.

Same for universities. If you want European style public financing of Universities, get ready for a system where universities accept only 1/2 of the students that American universities accept, where a degree lasts only 3 years, and where total spending per student is 50% of the US level even on a GDP basis.

This is the kind of the system that you can get the public to agree to fully fund, and it again requires massive cuts to university staffing, shutting down a lot of schools, as well as lower salaries (on average) of those who remain.

When that starts polling well together with the free tuition part, then you know you have real backing for a European style system.

I'm from Europe and I think European systems are more rational and ultimately much more humane, but they are so far different from what is happening in the U.S. that when I see the college kids argue "why can't we have what they have in Germany/France", I want to yell back "If we had a French system you would have never been accepted to University." People have no idea of whether or not these moves will be popular.

Keep in mind that when European nations adopted universal health systems, the health care sector was a small part of the economy and the nations were politically united with high levels of social trust and solidarity.

When England adopted the National Health Service act in 1946, healthcare was less than 3% of GDP (https://www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/chart/nhs-spending-as-a-per...) and the nation had high levels of social trust especially trust in government (they just won WW2, large portions of the economy were nationalized, they were used to rationing, etc). Even then it took a big battle, with lots of organizing to get it done.

So when people say "why can't we do what the Europeans did", the Europeans never took over 20% of their economy, they took over ~3% of their economy and that grew to 10%

There is a big difference in the political battle to take 3% versus 20%. Today, in almost every city the hospital is the biggest employer. Healthcare workers are huge political players, and while they certainly favor more government spending, they do not favor more cuts. But taxpayers favor the free stuff, not the "we will tax you more" part. These are huge requirements for social trust and especially trust in government. But now, the U.S. is as divided as never before and social trust, particularly trust in government, is rapidly falling. (source: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/07/22/key-finding...). The younger generation is in the curious position of demanding more free stuff while also trusting government the least of any generation.

So when all these people say "Hey, free stuff polls really well, we can do this people", I just roll my eyes. This would be 10x the achievement of what the Europeans accomplished and in a nation completely divided and growing farther apart each day.

They are not the same.

The Russians have incursions into our airspace and we do similarly to them.

We don’t call those “invasions”. An invasion is more physical in terms of control. When you invade you’re attempting to control an area with troops some time accompanied by non local pop. An incursion may result in extrication, surveillance or reconnaissance, those sorts of things.
The moral lesson was that the best man had to become the punching-est man, in order to thwart the power of someone who wanted to use his might to conquer.

And, moreover, that an incredibly rich nation's resources should be shared with the world at large, in order to make the world as a whole a better place.

Guys, what you guys are saying is against the market mechanism. Whether you like it or not, people will continue to evade taxes and find a safe haven in countries like the States and Canada, cities like New York and Vancouver.

If there is going to be a large surge in demand, the only counter solution is to increase supply. In my opinion, every single building that is lower than 5 stories below 96 ST in NY and any lowrise between Georgia and Commercial Drive in Vancouver needs to be wiped out and replaced with Hong Kong-style highrises. Housing prices and rent prices will tame down eventually!

If you dump 200k new highrises in downtown Vancouver, how the hell prices are not going to come down? Again, it's supply and demand.

At the end of the day, there is no such thing as market that goes beyond supply and demand. And developers always have incentive to build more as long as city intervenes less and liberalize them in terms of what they want to build.

All I am saying here is to let the market figure out. Look at Uber -- were cabs any better before UBER? Travis Kalanick "gentrified" the taxi market and it turned out to be a beautiful thing!
> The short answer is they can't tell you because they don't know.

Bingo. My partner works in revenue cycle management (arguing with insurance companies to pay their bills) for a large hospital chain, and even she can't get accurate prices for procedures. She can walk down the hall to the finance department, and ask them, but even they can't figure it out.

I found this out after asking her why they don't prioritize cases with the largest bills, and she said it's because the billed price of the procedure has no relation to the actual priced paid. They could review a $800,000 cancer case and only recover $750.
To be honest, if Obama had proposed this legislation I’d have supported it. But Trump has a history of policies and behaviors that I find reprehensible. It leaves me wondering what I’m missing in this pricing transparency position. Politics aside, I believed Obama always had the American people’s best interests at heart. But Trump has his own interests at heart. Maybe his interests align with the people’s on this issue? I’m not sure.
I’m not arguing about the motives of the big studios cashing in with superhero franchises. Merely pointing out that the root cause of the demand they’re tapping into is the exact opposite of what the parent comment claims i.e. childhood insecurity not security.
Not to offer a defense of Hollywood's throwaways, but I would say that enduring classics like The Illiad or The Bhagavad Gita were intended to reinforce the cultural norms of their times, which of course is an aspect of the human condition, but not about "making you think" in any sort of critical way. In that sense superhero movies are not so far afield...

Disk heads have been "sticking" like that forever[1], I guess. And it's a good bit that it will stick back down soon and plow right into a set of cylinders.

And the internals of disks have gotten more finicky (helium filled), faster spinning aerodynamically lifted heads etc.

I don't think the purpose here is to be the proverbial president of the US but to simply have a community of people who are willing to chip some money in and who want healthier discourse.

If you're going to blow up to the size of facebook you're just going to suffer from the very same problems. More diversity and more competition and more alternatives is what this is supposed to be part of. I think the point here is to build an ecosystem of saner social networks, not the next Franken-network.
It's a self fulfilling prophecy. People are obsessed with super heroes because they are hopeless and helpless to change the society and move forward due to the large forces in society holding us back that can only be changed with collective action. But no collective action happens because, at least in America, people expect one person to rise up and fix everything, to "save the world," as it would be. This is as impossible in the real world as the concept of "saving the world" itself is stupid, childish, selfish, grandiose, and ultimately beyond delusional.

Why does the world need saving all the time? It's been going on for millions of years (human populated world) or billions of years (the whole universe) without ever needing saving. Maybe instead of waiting for Superman to come fix our healthcare or inequality or climate or insert any other modern problem, we should try to do something about it ourselves together. Unfortunately, these movies standardize the idea that people working together cannot achieve anything and only super heroes alone or in small groups can. That's completely delusional, the opposite of reality. And this mindset has become the cornerstone of our real society feeding the helplessness that leads to hopelessness that leads to hoping to be "saved" by imaginary children's stories.
Puzzle me this - as an employee in the US, for a company paying well above market for your labor, with generous perks and the freedom to speak out against the employer (which is likely absent in China), the response of the Chinese workforce seems rather paradoxical - criticising an accommodating work environment, which, mind you, is only possible because of freedom of speech

Or, the press is out to make a mountain of a mole - most Chinese employees at Facebook are happy despite Zuks' tone against the govt.
One issue is that while posting standard prices is good, most analysis I've seen says that it won't actually have much effect for most people.

If it is done as part of a broad effort to address health care costs and availability, then it's fine. But so far there is no sign of any such broad plan, which leads many to worry that this will be all that the current Administration is going to do to try to lower health costs.

> Everyday guy or gal gets bestowed with or discovers powers of some sort and cut to blowing a bunch of stuff up.

That comes across the same way as if I said "all romance movies end up with a couple, who don't get along, and there's some obstacle in their romance, and then they discover love, and end with smooching- end credits with some sappy music."

Yes, the elements you pointed out are a predictable part of (many, but not all) super hero movies- but there's plenty of variation if you dig just a little bit deeper. Iron Man 2 has themes of substance abuse and trust, Black Panther questioned the roles of loyalty and honor in running a country... the recent Spiderman had themes of responsibility and whether it's okay to abdicate it...

> To my mind, there's little true creativity to movies anymore

And this sounds a lot like the patent office commissioner who said, about a century ago, "we should shut down the patent office, everything that can be invented already has been."

Yes, there's a lot of unoriginality in cinema, and also a lot of originality, and both of those statements have been true for about a century. Maybe you just need to take a break from cinema for a while, you're sounding burned out.
What syncing ability are you referring to?
Yeah, Obama Care had some good things like preexisting conditions but nasty things such as fining people who cannot afford health care. However there's about 5 states that are implementing their own fine for residents. I know though people who are part of health sharing ministries, or if you are amish, a scientologists, a Christian Scientists or a Muslim were exempted from ACA so not sure if states will carry that along or not. Really feel like no system is perfect though.

Then the whole idea of enrollment times being limited, being in network and out of network, even a hospital in network can have doctors and providers out of network. So if you get surgery in network, your anesthesiologist might be out of network and get a surprise bill. Then some doctors will even tell people to not worry and everything will be covered but it's not. I know someone who needed something done but was so worried about getting costs, the doctor got a pre-approval from the insurance company and they still didn't want to pay it. So either the insurance company or doctor lied.

I know some RVers recommend health sharing ministries though, but I know it's not technically considered insurance. There's a few of them that were approved, so Obama Care would see it as insurance even though it wasn't. Also I don't believe you have to worry about the whole in-network or not as you are self paying and then get reimbursed for your bills. Plus traditional insurance doesn't cover you across state lines, so useless for travelers too. Plus I think they might be cheaper too. Something to research more though as sounds like an alternative. I know one isn't too religious, just got to believe in god, don't smoke or drink alcohol unless socially. Kinda interesting you can be legally forced to buy health insurance but you can't even use it.

Same thing with car insurance, forced to get it but it isn't forced to pay anything. Even if you wasn't at fault, they try to wiggle their way out of paying or drop you. Pretty much a legalized mandated ponzi scheme. Then they all run flashy TV commercials saying they are the cheapest to switch to, well they all can't be the cheapest so someone is lying or they give you a deal then a year later it just increases.

While I don't know the history of the term "algebraic data type", I do know that the algebraic structure of ADTs is much deeper than what this article presented. For instance this structure supports some limited notion of a derivative[1]! And purely algebraic manipulation of ADT "equations" can actually be used to generate some non-obvious results [2]. So I think it's probably wrong to say that ADTs were just "given a name that sounds mathematical".
