...There have been many attempts to get a <footnote> element into HTML...

HTML is now well into its 2nd quarter century, grew from academic origins, and yet still lacks a <footnote> or <note> element and standard presentation(s).¹ I've not followed developments at all closely, references here are based on current DDG searches, bit so far as I'm aware, the situation's not improved and has arguable regressed.

Suggestions to use <cite> fail as not all footnotes are citations. Using <aside> overloads the element, creates ambiguities as to usage, and leaves us with nonstandard footnote mechanisms.

There was a 2003 proposal for a <referral> tag which seems ... excessively Byzantine.²

David MacDonald's <note> element proposal seems to cover most of the features (and objections) I'd anticipate.³

I'd consider footnotes (bottom of current page), endnotes (end of document or section/chaper/article), sidenotes (margin adjacent to text), inline notes (parenthetical communts, such aas this), or pop-up dialogues to be for the most part implementation details of an underlying notes element. An author might specify a default presentation, but the reader or device / media properties could override this in all cases to suit needs, limitations, or preference.

In my view not about disagreement or agreement. It's about being completely outdated, already debated and abandoned viewpoint from highly active senior citizen. Good for him for being active, but we cant just entertain elderly.

Main support for his viewpoint comes from references to articles from 70's and 90s.

Both Google Pay and Apple Pay showed up a little to late in many countries. Local alternatives already dominated, so neither have really been able to gain traction.

Seeming someone try to use Apple Pay in Denmark is a bit of a novelty. It works and is reasonably well supported by payment terminals, but why bother when you already have MobilePay, which have even wider support and more features?

I have yet to encounter someone who uses Google Pay.

If the ability to do the job at hand is evenly distributed, but somehow only blue marbles can pass the interview, then you've got a problem: you're actually going to be picking incapable people over capable people because of your hiring bias.

If we pick 20 marbles (to avoid rounding errors) then you expect to see ten blue, eight red and two white. But you actually see 17 blue, one red and two white. Your processes tell you you've found the best candidates. But statistics tells you that you could probably have done better.

The blue marbles might not be happy about that: they know they're obviously more able to do the work than the red marbles, because they passed all the interviews. Bringing in "less able" red marbles feels like a bad thing. But the key here is that they're not less able to do the work, they're less able to demonstrate they can do the work.

You're missing the fact that, by the 1970s, the rate of US-caused murders and famines (abroad, to be fair) had far outpaced anything the USSR was doing [0]. Ruthless capitalist imperialism has been at least as destructive as any other imperialist style in history, if not more so.

The American economic system has always lived on the shoulders of the American Empire - with almost free access to exploit resources within and outside the US with little regard for human life, especially the lives of non-citizens (slaves, foreigners). Combined with public research being funneled into private hands, usually under the guise of military research (see the entire IT industry in the 1960s-70s, and bio-engineering today); and with vast subsidies, either direct or as government guarantees of financial products; the capitalist system owes much of its success to the vast power of the American state, and has never been successfully replicated in significantly weaker countries (though it has been tried time and time again, usually under American guidance).

I think the correct word here is "doublethink". Cognitive dissonance implies experiencing an unpleasant sensation from the contradiction, which leads people to try resolve the dissonance. Doublethink implies fully accepting two contradictory notions at once without any unpleasant sensation.

For what it's worth I live in Denmark, working a private sector full time (37/week, usually less) job with a nice salary - though nothing out of the ordinary for my education and experience. Came from a middle class family: My mom is a nurse and my father is an engineer. No life-changing inheritance from grandparents (~$10.000).

My wife stays at home with our 2 year old daughter.

We own an apartment in Copenhagen that we bought some 5 years ago, though we're obviously still paying a mortgage on it (0% loans definitely made that easier!). We're paying it down aggressively, though still have quite a bit of cash left to invest.

From my experience it's about priorities. We rarely go out to dinner and don't own a car - hopefully never will. Rarely buy new clothes.

While it might not be the norm, it's not something that's completely unheard of.

One major factor though is probably student loans. When my wife and I left the university we both had savings of roughly $15.000. A year later, we bought the apartment. That would have been impossible if we had debt we needed to overcome first. If your friends moved here with significant debt, they're definitely playing catch-up compared to their peers.

There is no contradiction as "keeping them home" was staying all the time at home with no income and advancement.

And being forced to work here means "being punished for talking about possible pregnancy or needing more rest in the last few weeks or it or in case of health issues".

Whether patriarchy or not, these are not contradictory.
I didn't see the purpose of it when I got told of the principle at school. The supposed control of error detection feel like a very vague benefit to me. Especially now with computers. Actually hashing of the chain of values would probably be more secure (like bitcoin yes).

However, I think the real value in double entry accounting is that it not only represent money you have but also things you own: If you buy a pen, you have less money, but you have an extra furniture pen and your accounting can reflect that. It can also reflect the loss of value of the pen over time.

It is also useful if you get in debt to buy something: you transfer money from a debt account to your current account, you buy the thing you wanted to buy and appropriatly report the value of what you own in accounting. You now have a thing, and a debt to be repaid in whatever term was agreed.

It's also very useful as a tool of control for state. All exchanges you have with other entities are recorded in a separate account. It's possible to take that account and check that the other entity accounting book match exchanges they have with you.

> UCSF, the paper author, consider HFCS to be a poison and likely explains why there was no obesity in 60's photos

I presume you're referring to Dr. Lustig of UCSF's research on sugar, or more specifically his position that fructose is a toxin akin to ethanol due to how similarly they're processed by the liver.

If so, Dr. Lustig is careful to point out that this is not an HFCS-specific issue. Sugar and HFCS both contain fructose, and are essentially identical in this regard. This kind of misinformed demonizing of HFCS results in people thinking sweets are perfectly safe as long as they contain sugar and not HFCS, UCSF does not back such a position AFAIK.
If we reframe the problem as:
How do we run an economy not based around GDP growth, ie. Not based around birthing more people to increase labour?
Japan is ahead of the curve here in that it has an ageing population, they appear to have placed their bet on robotics.

Fundamentally this is an energy issue, with enough free energy everyone can have a high standard of living ie. BI becomes possible, we can automate away most mundane jobs with cheap robots (BOM goes down with cheap energy).

With a good standard of living, births drop- viz population charts globally except Africa, thus we get into a virtuous cycle.

The only issue is the environmental impact of lots of energy in the ecosystem, I'm not sure how that would pan out.

> I think two hours with my loved ones over one hour with my loved ones is a quantifiably superior option.

It's not that simple though. There are so many assumptions in this statement, that aren't easily proven/disproven. Is two hours of kissing your partner really better than a minute of kissing? Are the circumstances also relevant? Maybe two moments aren't even comparable at all?

You seem to have (as so many people do nowadays) the assumption that all of life is completely quantifiable, measurable (as soon as we have the technology). Theory of science shows that this is a belief, which can never be proven or disproven.

Personally, I believe the opposite, that no matter how great our technology gets, there are certain things, that will never be measurable.

So I disagree with your above statement, that one of them is the quantifiably superior option. I think they can't be compared at all.
Yeah, I don't get the point of those kinds of Youtube videos. If they think its a "scam", they should publish a paper on the inability to replicate of the results.

Instead its just some weird reaction video by some rando on Youtube that has not cited his sources. The irony of this is, he accuses them of doing the same thing EU proponents have accused modern Cosmology of doing: filtering out anything that doesn't fit their narrative, even when its established science in another field for the past few decades.

The SAFIRE guys aren't cosmologists, they're approaching the problem of the Sun the same way a plasma physicist would. Literally, they are following in the footsteps of Hannes Alfvén (the guy that got the Nobel for magneto-hydrodynamics), and Kristian Birkeland (nominated for a Nobel seven times due to his work in this field), and continuing their work.

The people who claim that plasma physics has no place in space, in solar/planet interactions, in galactic/star interactions, etc are, frankly, insulting both the Nobel committee and the work of NASA for the past 30+ years. They're on the same delusion spectrum that flat earthers are on, just not quite to that extreme.

I'm not saying SAFIRE is right, but SAFIRE isn't even saying they're right. They've literally asked for other labs to replicate their results because they've found a novel way of replicating the Sun's activity in their lab, and they need to rule out measurement error in ways they haven't already. They are seeking replication and validation, something scammers don't do.

> offset by the huge increase in healthcare and education costs

These costs increase to the maximum amount the individual is willing to sacrifice to obtain these services. Because they are inelastic services - you cannot substitute healthcare. You can barely substitute education (esp. tertiary). And there's not a lot of economy of scale with these services, which makes it hard to lower the cost in competition (if there's even any).
The historical example of Japan absorbing knowledge and technology, leap-frogging to the modern era, is a good support for your argument.

There are fascinating artifacts from the period following Japan's opening up to foreign trade, reminiscent of European science in the Renaissance era - with an Asian twist.

I'd like to point out though, that there was a steady "leak" of technology, or rather cultural exchange with the West, through the Dutch since the 17th century.

Japan–Netherlands relations - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan%E2%80%93Netherlands_rela...

---

To return to the "leap-frogging to the modern era" - it seems that developing nations are all in the process of doing this. I recall reading how many African countries "skipped over" the building of traditional telephone infrastructure, and went staight to mobile.

That also supports your argument that it only takes a couple generations for a country to catch up to modern standard of technology.

But to surpass it, and become the leading edge, probably requires a bigger cultural change - to have an academic and business environment that fosters innovation. In that aspect, I think the U.S. has a lead in the world, and will continue to keep that competitive advantage for a while.

It suggests that cultural (and perhaps social and psychological) change is harder to achieve than the knowledge transfer of technology.
So what if the tone is good. The arguments that he made are not supported by the evidence.

The idea of companies trying to push app on their customers is something I've been think a lot about recently, as the number of apps on my phone has grown to cover two screen, not including those hidden away in a junk folder.

The IT landscape has turned out completely opposite to what I would like. I love have dedicated, native, applications on my computer, but things are slowly migrating to web application or Electron apps. On my phone I have a ton of apps, some of which I just use a few time a year and which could just as easily be a web application. Companies just love to get their little logo onto my home screen on my phone, so now everything needs to be an app apparently.

My take on it is that 'it takes two to tango'. Massive investments in ITER send a very strong signal to the market/innovators. And IMHO other initiatives would not have gotten funded if it were not for the trophee of getting it to work before ITER does.

But the virus hadn’t wrecked Dowd’s lungs. In fact, she had only mild pneumonia. Instead, SARS-CoV-2 had ruptured her heart.

A lot of the early part of the article rehashes basics, like how viruses replicate. If you have basic knowledge of that sort, you can kind of skim until the mid point, where we find the above factoid.

I have been reading less about the virus of late, but this fits with everything I know. It causes blood clots. Ventilators aren't really fixing it. The lack of oxygen is probably more about what it does to the blood (than what it does to the lungs).

Later in the article, it talks about impacts on the feet suspected to be a side effect. Feet issues are commonly associated with blood/circulation issues. This is why diabetes can lead to feet being amputated.

The blood issues are well established and this has been known for some time. I'm somewhat aghast to see this article talking like we don't already know that detail.
No, ITER will not be used as a power plant. Think of it as an experimental device like the LHC. The findings from ITER will be used to build DEMO which will be able to output power continuously. And DEMO's findings will be used to create PROTO, a commercial power plant. Sometime after 2050. Maybe longer.

And if you want to be really technical, we've had fusion reactors for decades, but ITER should be the first one that produces more energy than it consumes.
