Answer is genetic modification, I believe. If you can change brain's reward system to not fall in those cracks, we can have a much better society. Instead of designing a system fit for humans, we should design humans fit for the system. :3
You can't stop climate change. It has been happening for billions of years. Records of floods and droughts (and subsequent wildfires) exist in Australia since it was colonized. There are naturally occurring dynamics that influence the patterns of rain across the world. At one point the Sahara was able to support vegetation, but whatever rain was falling on the Sahara at that time probably caused a prolonged drought in some other part of the world.

You need several ingredients to get wildfires:
1) lack of H2O
2) wind
3) either lightning or human-caused flames to reach the 500F+ necessary to trigger combustion
4) an abundance of dry vegetation in close proximity

Notice CO2 has no effect on any of the above, except indirectly. CO2 acts as plant fertilizer, so it causes photosynthesis to work more efficiently, and therefore more plant growth occurs overall in the entire planet. While more plant growth is a good thing, it also provides more fuel for wildfires when droughts inevitably occur.

EDIT: I know alarmists are sensitive to facts, but your assertion that humans cause rain to either fall or not fall over given areas is rooted in superstition, not science. It's one you share with your pre-Renaissance ancestors who were prone to witch burning and human sacrifice to try to combat drought.
That's probably because I didn't watch cartoons growing up! But yes, I am aware of that connection.
To be clear, it's two concepts, one for branches and one for comments.

The first concept we've been calling deployless, and discussed it here: https://medium.com/darklang/how-dark-deploys-code-in-50ms-77...

The second one is just an idea right now, suggestions welcome. The observation is that comments on a particular line of code are spread in as many as a dozen places (a google doc, slack, trello, the code itself, an old version of the same code, PRs on github, comments on commits on github, commit messages, another place in the codebase referencing this one, the docs folder in your repo, another repo that uses this API, your 3rdparty docs on README.io, etc). This is weird and bad, and it must be possible to do better.
Think about how little actual user value that youtube itself provides, except from the network effect. Its nothing but rent seeking. IMO if they're going to be landlords, they need to fix the appliances.
> Dare I ask why you put your guards up against YouTube instead of either deciding that your kids are too young to use a tablet/smartphone/PC in general, or that sometimes contents is scary but it's OK to talk about?

My kids are too young to have unrestricted access to the internet. That's why they are limited to specific kids apps.

But YTKids is different than all the other kids apps. All the other apps have a human check all the content before it goes live.

So I can be reasonably certain that the content will be ok without watching it all first.

With YT, I can't have that certainty. So they just don't get to use that platform anymore.

Yeah, bad things happen, and when they do I talk to my kids about it.

But I don't want to purposely subject them to such things if I don't have to.
There are actually. There is a class of star in the "tip of the red giant branch" (TRGB) which have also been used to calibrate luminosities of type Ia supernovae[0] to form a "cosmic distance ladder". I believe they have been used to confirm the accelerated expansion results (though less strongly). I am not super well versed in stellar evolution, but I believe that the TRGB should make this calibration method independent of progenitor age? Hopefully someone could chime in on this. I was formerly a cosmologist and would be very interested to know more about this result from any experts that might be reading this.

[0] There is an explanation of this calibration here: https://aasnova.org/2019/07/26/tldr-the-trgb-gives-us-anothe...

> But let me just ask: are macros absolutely essential?

Yes, for two main reasons: (1) type-safe printf; (2) #[derive]. Nothing is "absolutely essential" in any Turing-complete language, of course, but printf comes pretty close. The only real alternative would have been to use the builder pattern for formatting like C++ does (i.e. the << operator), but nobody seriously proposed that as the aesthetics are really bad and setting formatting flags like precision is problematic. And without custom #[derive], you couldn't serialize types, which is pretty important in a modern language.

Note that these are both cases (maybe the primary cases) in which OCaml has built-in ad-hoc solutions that feel very un-"systemsy". In OCaml, format strings are built in to the language, as are functions like PartialEq and Debug, the latter of which are implemented via magic built-in functions that call private internal reflection APIs. There was a desire to do better in Rust, as it was felt that these are the ugliest parts of OCaml, and so macros were part of Rust from the very early days.
>E. coli and salmonella aren't plant diseases

You must have misread what I wrote because I never claimed that they were. I put quotes around "plant diseases" because the two major outbreaks that everybody thinks about weren't plant diseases, they were animal-related.
>I guess the speed of tree growth might be a bottleneck.

Also depends on what grows back in their place. For example, re-forestation efforts in places like Ireland have lead to an "ecological dead zone" [0] due to the choice of the trees that have been planted, the Sitka spruce and its sheddings offering or removing habitable areas for animals to prosper.

Without an expensive and concerted effort to clear the floors of ash and re-plant animal-friendly, indigenous fauna I would imagine we won't see much of a recovery in our lifetimes, if ever.

I would argue if you're doing performance sensitive work in that fashion, you're doing it wrong.

I'd also probably argue that if you're doing it that way, you're probably already not that concerned with performance to the degree where losing a few tens of seconds is a big deal.

I certainly wouldn't include any tight bash loops that execute external code in any service code, for example. Performance there shouldn't be impacting either the sync or async path.

Much like the article's point, it's a question for optimising for the right things.

I do agree that people can perceive values faster than 100ms.

Several years back I was interviewing for a sysadmin job at a futures trading company. Part way through the interview, one of the traders complained to the interviewer that the latency was increasing on the connection to the exchange, and sure enough it was up 20ms from normal (I forget the normal, but it was very low, on the order of only maybe 10-20ms) and monitoring was just about to page the interviewer.

Can it dial me at multiple numbers? My primary use for Voice is that I can give people a single number that, when they dial it, will call my cell, my home, and my office numbers.

Why is it good to force all your users to figure out how to set their text editors to do something different and unnecessary just because you refuse to do what essentially every other non toy language has always been able to do? How is a decision like that not a giant red flag of user hostility and bad judgement?
Maybe it's time for piracy and people power to take over. Parents curate for other parents, perhaps parents that know each other. Use youtube-dl and other things. Have an open source app (You might have to get away from iOS for this) on a tablet that can watch this community curated content.

wrt to piracy: keep in mind that parents are often relatively financially disadvantaged as well as being the most financially targeted group. Some parents turn to youtube rather than (say) disney+ for a reason. Those that can afford it do because it is less mind time and real time than having to do even community curation.
YouTube doesn’t have a god given right to the toddler market. They are the ones implying (through the existence of YT Kids and such) that they have done the filtering!

If they are honest about there lack of actually effective triage then this whole controversy is of a very different valence.

Stop pretending you’re triaging well if you’re not!
It's not a slogan; there's a published type safety proof of the core of Rust. You may not like the assumptions that underlie that proof, but it's unarguable that "safety" has a very concrete meaning in the context of the language.
The FTC is specifically targeting videos on the main YouTube site, not YT Kids, (because they claim kids might be on the main site anyway, regardless of the ToS forbidding children) and their criteria for whether they consider it children's content is a set of fairly broad guidelines outlined in the article in the post above.
When is the last time there was a major outbreak of potato blight that made thousands of people sick?

The diseases I'm referring to here are the ones that are making humans sick on a large scale, like E. coli for example. I'd think it was obvious given the context. But then again this is hackernews so being pedantic about everything is par for the course.
I'm not an astronomer, but "tired light" makes more intuitive sense to me to explain the redshift. In effect, we already know that matter can affect light through gravitational interaction. Since light is travelling so fast and far it seems intuitive thst interstellar matter, as fleeting as it is, could act to slow light down over these great spacetime distances.

yea definitely, a name sets boundaries of intention; and if you appropriate it from other domains helps to boostrap understanding.

>If I add this new property does it make it a different enough function that I have to change the underlying analogy?

actually ran into this situation the other day, but for the name of a project I'm working on. the intention of my idea changed, so I felt like I had to change the name, too.

a name, in that way, has a two-fold effect, it helps shape understanding but it also guides what we feel we can/can't do with something
"What the public wants" is relevant insofar as it allows the legislature to craft law within the space of what is otherwise legal. (Here, for example, if the "public wants" beach access, California may pass a law raising money to buy an easement over Khosla's land.) But public whim, or even public whim translated into state law, cannot overcome property rights and federal treaty obligations.
You're comparing ethnicity and psychopathy.
The obvious solution to me is to just ask users how old they are. Parents should be supervising enough to do this for their young kids. Maybe let you lock an age restricted account logged in.

If you're not supervising enough to notice your kid clearing history/cookies to get "adult" access then that's on you. It's not clear to me that youtube should be expected to police this very strongly, especially when sites like pornhub or liveleak are a few keystrokes away.
Descartes’ Mathematics
This is exactly the point I tried to make below when people kept claiming that E. coli was a plant problem and not a plant problem. But as you mentioned, it's far more convenient to talk about the dreaded potato blight and ignore the fact that animal agriculture is the biggest contributor to species extinction (through clearing of land for growing of crops to feed back to animals).
Not true. Evidence is building that tau protein import to neurons activates the inflammasome, which causes cell death and local inflammation, if I skimmed this paper right:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1769-z

the cell death would presumably lead to the accumulation of more tau, a destructive feedback loop.

Out here (Southern CA) we had devastating fires. We used to have thousands of rabbits. A year later and they’re still gone. And they’re supposed to be the first ones to bounce back.
I think they're both for the reason that the less effort required the better. The faster you can hire someone that can do a job reasonably well the better off the company will be. Likewise in dating, you'll likely be much more successful if you don't have to put as much effort into finding dates/hookups.

You wouldn't need to moderate all the content. Just the content that has "safe for kids" stamped on it. If a creator says they are publishing a video "safe for kids" then it gets flagged for review before going live to YT kids. It could go live to general YT prior to that, which could preempt the review process if it was flagged before a moderator even got to it.

I think the issue for here is the YT is trying to claim they are providing a YT kids offering, comparable and competing directly with Netflix, Amazon, PBS, etc - if they want to make this claim and have parents allow their children to view it then they need to back it up.

edit: I am sure there are more checks in place and that the above idea has been considered. My main point is that they need to take responsibility for whatever claims they are making. If they can't back up the claims, then that is fine - just stop making them...
So assuming this is true, what plan of action do you recommend for an “old gen” data scientist who is strong in math, stats, ML theory, R, dataviz, ETL, research, etc., but who is not by a long shot a “full fledged software engineer”? I will soon be competing against this new crop of statistician/engineer superhybrids you speak of.

I know a fair bit of Python (mostly for ML/DL applications), bash, and just a smidge of HTML/CSS/JS (just enough tweak a front end demo via R Shiny). I’m OCD enough that I make every effort to write clean and reproducible code and unit test it as I go (is this TDD?). I can implement some stats algorithms (e.g. EM algorithm, MCMC) from scratch with a pseudocode reference, but I rarely if ever have the occasion to do that for obvious reasons. I understand the concept of computational complexity, though I don’t have any figures memorized.

But I’ve never taken any CS course beyond Programming 101. I wouldn’t know how to navigate a complex production codebase. Embarrassingly, I know almost nothing about git. I’m 100% sure I’d get slaughtered in a whiteboard interview or similar. For that matter, I could easily get nailed on some holes in my core data science knowledge (cough SQL cough).

So, do I rebuild my foundation around software engineering, or just patch up the obvious holes? Grind towards a management position and let my inferior skills rot away?
>Dark matter is assumed to exist from the excessively quick rotation of stars around the cores of galaxies.

That's what initiated Zwicky's notion in the '30s. It is far from being the only, or even the main, evidence for dark matter (which can be read as "mass effects we can detect not associated with matter we can currently detect").
1) That's not ironic

2) Do you not see the massive obvious difference between killing an animal with a PURPOSE (sustenance), vs ones that die completely without any side benefit?

3) Plenty of people care about animals being killed for food. That's why there is continuous progress and campaigns to A) change how they are raised (more humanely), B) how they are killed (ditto), C) reduce overall consumption of meat by meat eaters, and D) change entire diets to cut out meat entirely.

4) The animals killed for food are MOSTLY (exceptions - certain forms of hunting and fishing) raised for that purpose, and therefore their populations and species are entirely sustainable. The animals that died in wildfires are wild ecosystems, some of which may not recover (see: Koala population)
The YT Kids app itself was never monetized to begin with. They only monetized viewing of kids videos on regular YouTube.
You have it backwards. We need to patch in fast-to-build renewable and imperfect storage capacity while continuing to research nuclear fusion. Fission plants however are both uneconomical and slow to build - to the point that even the fastest builds of already safety reviewed designs would not complete until after our fate in climate change is largely irreversibly decided.

The MD-80/90/95 didn't have a very big order book, and there was no replacement for it. The MD-11 was a failure, and the MD-12 was cancelled. Douglas essentially had no future after 2000. The military side was better, but the A-12 was cancelled, and they lost the JSF. The only bright spot was the Super Hornet, which was supposed to have been an interim aircraft until the JSF started to be produced.

This is survivor bias.

YouTube doesn't release many of the details of the methodology or even the content that they block because it can then be circumvented by the people who create and/or circulate it. It can create a streisand effect which only makes that type of content worse by drawing attention to it.

Some of what you can see is in the child sexual abuse material (CSAM) APIs that Google is now sharing to help other organizations detect CSAM material en-masse in their content. These services that were originally built to do so on GMail, Drive, and Youtube.

They're trying to shut down all their possible COPPA liabilities because they can get incredibly expensive very quickly so any data on made for kids content they're treating like it's data on kids. Also skimming the FTC's FAQ it sounds like if you're serving a web page targeted at children you have to do a lot more so google having channels aimed at kids puts them under the stricter standards about ensuring kids data doesn't get tracked.

What generally happens is you set rules and teach what is acceptable or not. When you are not around the kid is expected to follow the rules.

Many kids do not follow these rules. They get punished and have valued things taken away. Some learn a lesson and will follow the rules and others do not.

The ones who still don't listen have to be with you when you cook and clean. If you go out another parent/babysitter/old children will watch them.
>there are only a handful of people who you should really care to keep tabs on

I don't consider myself an extreme socialite, but as someone who has lived in 3 states in the US and whose friends are scattered around the world after getting a degree here, this sounds really, really, really perverse.

That said, most of my use of Facebook is not to keep tabs on the people I care about (a lot of them don't use Facebook much, if at all).

The product that the OP described already exists: it's called a chat room (IRC channel, Skype group chat, Telegram channel, Whatsapp group chat, etc).
If you find things like this interesting I suggest you look on youtube for videos on the electric universe.

The main take is that our current models having gravity as the main driving force shaping our universe is a misunderstanding - hence rejecting the idea of dark matter / dark energy that was "invented" to make for math for gravity work with the observations of expansion.
"And laptop manufacturers will now proceed to stuffing these into bargain bin laptops with shitty 1080 displays"

Which is good as we would have some serious processing power without having to second mortgage a house. At 15" 1080 display is anything but shitty (assuming it has decent gamut and dynamic range). Higher resolutions are much better served by standalone monitors. 40" 4K works just fine for me while on 15" screen 4K either makes fonts too small or if I increase the scale then there is no real difference with 1080
