That's a pretty expected outcome when you pay that game.

If you take the sum of all the comments, it goes something like this:

1. Women are disproportionally flocking to a few guys at the very top of the income / success curve.
2. Those guys have amazing dating life, and no pressure to commit.
3. They will go through dozens of women and eventually settle with one. So if they date X women in their bachelorhood, only one 1/X will end up marrying them, and X-1/X will be left disappointed and unhappy.
4. X can be 200+, so that's a lot of unhappy women.
5. Meanwhile tons of guys below the top would love get a date, and can't. They're also unhappy.
6. Evolution isn't optimizing for happiness.
I'm the opposite. I like knowing that at 3am there's somewhere that's open where I can buy things like contact lens fluid, pain relievers, etc. (7-Eleven happens to have those)
Quick look at usnews suggests median plumber (in US) makes ~50k and median psychiatrist makes ~200k. I'm sure there are some plumbers that make more than some psychiatrists, but that doesn't really support the assertion that the market values their skills equally.
> no one caring (at least, the vast, vast majority) about animals killed for food. Else 98% of us wouldn't be meat eaters

This is a false dichotomy. It is common to care about the animals you eat. Maybe not in the way you would like, and maybe it is hypocritical in the same way as giving a condemned prisoner a final meal is. Caring is why we have free range animal products.
I don't support the repressive Iranian regime, however, there's no denying the US has been a terrible bully. I feel really bad for their people.

The US overthrew their popular, secular government in the 50s and installed a brutal puppet government. The Iranian revolution in the 70s was Islamic mainly because the Mosques were the few places the puppet government did not fully monitor, so the religious rulers were the only ones who could gather and strategize a plan.

The US has been trying to make an example out of Iran since the 70s, for the crime of not accepting the puppet government.

The level of propaganda going on in the US is unbelievable. The vast majority of Americans have no idea about the sequence of events that I laid out. I don't blame you for feeling this way, it's a very unfair situation for the Iranian people.

Why Have So Few Women Won the Most Important Award in Computing?
For actual healthcare outcomes, Kaiser will outrank most PPOs. Because Kaiser is an integrated health system, they are highly incentivized to actual improve outcomes. PPOs might feel better to you (because they let you have choice and freedom) but I strongly suspect that from a purely what's best for public health is systems like Kaiser. A patient's sense of satisfaction with their healthcare is rarely correlated to outcomes. For example, I worked with healthcare data and we were developing quality metrics and we found for a lot of providers had a negative correlation in metrics to their review scores. I.e there are tons of doctors with high reviews who actually perform quite badly in terms of outcomes. We strongly suspected these are doctors who have good communication and empathy skills but weak clinical skills. I remember looking at malpractice studies and seeing something similar. As a doctor, the probability of getting sued for malpractice is driven by your bedside manner and NOT your clinical outcomes. Essentially, we've found that a doctor with bad clinical expertise but great bedside manner will get sued more than an amazing clinician who has bad bedside manner.

It's a slipper slope if you think your anecdotal satisfaction with your medical provider is a metric of how well the system takes care of you. Unless you are looking at outcomes at a population level it's really hard to see what's going on.

I will say (as others have noted) that Kaiser's mental health support is terrible, but there outcomes outside of that are very strong (if not best in class). They were frequently studied in my partner's master of public health, because of their strong outcomes.

Also don't underestimate the power of primary care in the heaths system (patient's tend to skip primary care visits in PPOs). Many of the life threatening issues my partner sees were caught only due to a primary care visit which exactly why systems like Kaiser are effective.
The discussion here is about more or less expensive air travel, within reasonable multiples. Al Qaeda would’ve probably been able to justify and afford 10x what it paid for its airfare so that’s mostly a matter of passenger air travel existing in the first place.
That would seem to completely disallow any compatibility layers, which seems like a bad outcome. Unless you had some sort of solution in mind for that?

I was going to point out that Ontario, at 15m, accounts for 0.002% of the population, and suggest it may be a statistical blip.

But -- and thanks for the link, it's fascinating -- diving into that page raises some questions. The nuclear component is very steady at 11MW, which I suppose is a function of the technology, to provide a reliable base load.

Nuclear fission accounts for 12MW -- while Hydro seems to consistently provide about a third that figure, with wind averaging just over 1MW, but peaking up to 4MW.

Canada has 19 nuclear fission power plants, with all but one being in Ontario.

Seemingly [1] several were / will be shutdown, as refurbishment is too expensive, and no plans to construct new plants in the province.

Storage of spent fuel is expected to cost ~$30B ... but that project hasn't found a site yet, and that's a projected figure circa 2005.

I know a few people in my company were let go after 6 months albeit they did fabulous with those interview questions.

Not really the same thing, but I used to work for a small food business that sold bottled/canned drinks from a fridge via a contract with Frucor (New Zealand), and the prices they charged wholesale to this small business were often higher than what you could buy the drinks for retail at nearby supermarkets.
I have a product that has lasted for a little over a decade. I use it daily. Others use it daily. But I have had to keep up with the times.

A website from 12 years ago does NOT look the same as today's websites. There are navigation conventions/expectations for downloadable products. For example, screenshots? It would be good to update the website to follow modern conventions. For example, compare Microsoft from a decade ago to today: https://web.archive.org/web/20080101150414/http://www.micros... https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows/

// stringify the number
yield '' + i;
}
}

const lastChar = stringNum.charAt(stringNum.length - 1);
return lastChar === '5' || lastChar === '0';
}

const mapping = [0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 0, 1];

function fizz (stringNum) {
return (
stringNum
// get each character of the string
.split('')
// find out if total digits are divisible by three.
.reduce((acc, x) => (acc + mapping[x]) % 3, 0) === 0
);
}

function fizzBuzz (stringNum) {
const f = fizz(stringNum), b = buzz(stringNum);
if(f && b) {
return 'FizzBuzz';
} else if (f) {
return 'Fizz';
} else if (b) {
return 'Buzz';

This coming from the company that files patents like crazy and gives out t-shirts that say “patent heroes wanted”. Call me cynical but I feel like google is narrowly interested in open innovation when they are at risk for billions in fines, and definitely also supports openness in other ways, but still supports a lot of proprietary and closed source work. There are lots of business reasons to be closed source, but don’t talk up a big talk about the value of openness when you’re really just trying to cover your ass. Lots of google tech fails on openness.

Yup, undeniably France is an interesting outlier.

As I understand it, the bulk of their reactors were produced over a relatively short boom period of construction, and their projected EOL's were consequently going to coincide -- the number of safety incidents, ageing designs, costs of attending to both, public opinion swaying against, resulted in the relatively recent decisions to try to reduce the reliance on fission.

But, even so, this speaks to my point -- in countries with a positive history of nuclear fission, and little 'red tape' to stall new builds, they're still moving away from it.

That's basically my lay-person's understanding also. It's because the expansion isn't significant at small scales, so gravity and electromagnetism overpower it. This causes existing objects and clouds to effectively remain the same size [I have to assume that there's an effect, stealing potential energy at very small scales].
> I actually think this is a serious point, because it speaks to the difficulty of short-cutting your way to a correct opinion by looking at the character and motives of people participating in the debate.

An awful lot of evil has been done by people who firmly believed they were doing the right thing. I'd even go further and suggest that most evil has been done by people who thought they were in the right.

Consider also that the notions of what is right and wrong have changed considerably over time.

Your interpretation of the expansion is incorrect. Basically, it looks like all points are moving away from each other over large distances.

It is easier to understand in 2D: Imagine a deflated balloon with two dots drawn on it. When you inflate the balloon, its 2D surface increases, which results in the two points "moving away" from each other, without either of them actually moving. It‘s just that the surface on which they lie grows. This is also the reason why distant galaxies are getting more distant faster than the speed of light: They are not actually moving, but the space in between us and them grows.

Notice that the farther two points on the surface of the balloon are apart, the faster they will appear to be moving away from each other, which is why the effect is unnoticeable over small (in astronomical terms) distances. Gravity pulls things together much faster than space expansion pulls them apart.

Bringing this back to your example: Imagine "blowing up" the box. Things inside it are growing a little bit (but gravity pulls them back together), but everything seems to be moving away from everything else.

It looks like the standard business model of sell product, receive payment might not be the best idea for something like this, but there are other models.

What if the primary form of business is selling the parts instead? Then repair shops become the primary customer, with home repairs and selling the actual vehicle just being the PR model for adoption?

You say they won't need many spare parts. But thanks to emissions regulations, they'll still have to have plenty of electrical components, and those do still break. Easily.

Even on the old-style tractors, I've still replaced plenty of parts. Things do break. Simple things that are easy to replace, but you still need the parts. Clutches, bearings, etc. Tractors are exposed to harsh environments for most of their lives. Plenty never ever come indoors.

The engines don't often need replacing. But plenty of other things still do.
Conservation of energy only applies to closed systems though. And an expanding universe (with or without dark energy) is not a closed system.
I have to say, I am really tired of right wingers claiming every SF or other government or political policy they don't agree with is "virtue signalling". It is a lazy ad hominem which I don't find the least bit convicning.

I don't think you're being unreasonably cynical. We have numerous demonstrations of companies pretending to be virtuous when it benefits them, while also being evil when it benefits them. It's fortunate that their posturing lines up with values that some of us hold, but I consider it nothing more than a profitable coincidence.

This is going to be ugly for people who do (did?) family-friendly content such as a lot of gaming-related stuff. I'll use as an example Trainer Tips, which is an intentionally noncontroversial channel about Pokemon Go.

As I understand it, if he marks his videos as being for kids, they end up effectively demonetized and comments aren't allowed. If he doesn't mark them as being for kids, he's at risk of massive fines. If he marks them as adults-only (or just starts swearing or the like), they're also effectively demonetized.

Guess this explains all the push by a lot of creators towards Patreon and the like - the simple solution is to have your videos on YouTube marked as for kids, but to push for people to support you on Patreon to get access to discussions, a channel-specific Discord, etc. for the kinds of things that would previously be in comments.

Edit: Oh, and no notifications when new kid-friendly content is posted, so if you want notifications 'Support me on Patreon'

You replied to a comment where their primary concern is, quote: "When a scary clown jumps out and screams, that's traumatizing". Not porn, sexual innuendo, or pedophiles looking for potential victims. Not war, or violence, or even brainwashing advertisements. It's clowns... their primary fear about YouTube's content is the possibility their sensitive child will be exposed to a clown.

It's impossible to satisfy everyone, regardless of the content rules, and no mater how curated. YouTube could spend a billion dollars curating content, along with surveys where 90% of parents have to approve a video before it is included, and the remaining 10% would still be the vocal minority ruining it for everyone.

Sure, YouTube probably doesn't do quite enough. But when you have parents looking to let YouTube babysit their 2-8 year old children without supervision, whose fault is that? YouTube's, I'm sure. /s
They do/have. You have to be 13+ to make an account.

I'm not the person you're replying to, but my daughter was able to use my wifes iPad when she was turned 1. I decided we should 'baby proof' it, remove YouTube (along with a few other apps), and add YouTube Kids. In many ways YouTube kids was worse than YouTube, since YouTube would have shown our suggestions. YouTube Kids is full of addicting, low effort content. Think toy unboxing, surprise eggs, videos with colors. Nothing thought provoking or educational. They're mindbogglingly boring, but they turn kids into zombies. And they get outraged if you take it away.

You have to whitelist a few channels, then it works ok. Though my daughter is only 3 now, and would be happy watching Blippi all day. Seems like it would be more complicated to whitelist channels as kids get older.
