Humans have needs, and ignoring them probably wouldn't work well in long run, no matter how noble it might sound in abstract. If your needs are constantly frustrated, you will likely lose the motivation to do the noble things anyway.

Then again, there are differences among people with regards to their needs. Like, an introverted person would probably be satisfied with a smaller number of friends; but would probably still want more than zero.

To me it seems like it is important that some people reciprocate your feelings, and then it is not important that others don't. Like, if you love 20 people and 3 of them love you back, it's okay, but if you love 20 people and nobody loves you back, it's not okay. Of course the numbers are made up, may be different for different people, and it also matters a lot who loves you back and who doesn't, how specifically that love manifests, etc.

I would make an analogy that if you are a cook, and you prepare meals for hundreds of people, and then you eat one meal yourself, that can make you fully satisfied. If you cannot eat, you will starve, and it doesn't make it any different for you whether you have prepared meals for other people or you didn't. So while we can make a true argument that feeding hundreds of other people is a great thing, that one meal that goes back to the cook is also important.

Shortly, unreciprocated love can also make you happy, assuming that it is not all that you have. Feeling secure about being loved gives you the privilege that you can now be generous about the love you give, because you don't need anything more in return, and if something comes anyway, it's a nice bonus. Telling people who are currently not loved about how "loving others is better than being loved" is a bit like telling starving people to stop focusing on their hunger so much... the main message it delivers is that you actually don't give a fuck about their sufering.

(Then, there are also people who never feel loved enough, because their mental problems prevent them from having healthy relationships, and trying to give them more love doesn't improve things at all, it just all vanishes in a black hole... It's complicated.)

OK, now I am curious about your thoughts.

I suppose it depends on what definition of effect is in play.

To me it's like asking "is there an effect to seeing all the time?" or "is there an effect to listening to people speak Korean?" or "is there an effect to touching things?". Sure, there are second and third-order effects of using your senses - for example "looking" at an article will ideally cause you to learn something new - but our eyes and ears in particular evolved to be open practically all the time, and most music falls squarely within the non-injurious range of auditory stimuli.

In addition to Matt Ridley, Stephen Johnson has written several popular books on innovation and "The Wizard of Menlo Park" by Randall Stross is a wonderful book on Thomas Edison.

What I find missing in the original Steven Novella article is the role of the dynamo [1] as an enabling technology for the lightbulb, and indeed, the second industrial revolution:

> Commercial electricity production started in 1870 with the coupling of the dynamo to the hydraulic turbine. The mechanical production of electric power began the Second Industrial Revolution and made possible several inventions using electricity, with the major contributors being Thomas Alva Edison and Nikola Tesla. Previously the only way to produce electricity was by chemical reactions or using battery cells, and the only practical use of electricity was for the telegraph.

Wow, so interesting. I'm really curious whether planes from rival airlines would cooperate to fly together like this. And if not, are there really so many situations where two planes from the same airline travel a long segment together at the same time?
That doesn't really explain why right-wingers would want to focus on it as an issue. Why not focus on for example the effect of raising minimum wage on job vacancies or wild fires contributing to climate change? Both have some amount of evidence for them. I'm not really sure I understand why "there is some evidence for it so it might be true" should be a criterion that particularly interests people on the right wing.
Exit nodes aren't used if one connects to an onion service.

And for all we know, the NSA snoops traffic at all major internet exchanges, so tor exit nodes might get extra attention, but so do e.g. people who's search history suggests they might be sysadmins (if i remember reports on xkeyscore selector correctly)
Don't insinuate your point. State it if you have any convinction.

How do you think this invalidates or relates to the topic at hand? People can't engage either positively or negatively unless you actually make a clear point.

I'm not currently convinced you have a coherent one but I look forward to being proved wrong.
Very clever, borderline ingenious.

The task of filtering out bots from server logs can get really tedious even if there's JS involved. Being able to spot humans using this technique is really quite helpful.

What extra data can you track using this method over just normal HTTP logging?

The only things I can think of are how a user interacts with a page - I don't particularly think this is too concerning - although as with all these things there are possibly much more creative uses of it that I haven't considered.

There's a new image property loading="lazy" which generally will load an image when it approaches the viewport. This could also be "abused" in similar ways.

If this does turn out to be a privacy concern, browser settings/privacy addons could simply load all lazy images or images refered to in CSS/JS files on load which would nullify this technique.

It not orders of magnitude worse than a bad flu season, yet the response has been unprecedented. Sweden has managed fine without any lockdown (and it's not a competition over death rates before someone starts comparing). Hospitals didn't get overwhelmed anywhere which was what the reason for lock down was all about (originally). They appear to have reached some level of herd immunity.

If hardly anyone is dying can it still be classed as a pandemic? No one bothers about a "cold pandemic", which is effectively what coronavirus is at this stage. Deaths per day are in single digits.

And you can't claim "permanent lung damage" for something that has only been around for 7 months.

I feel like its partly an unwillingness to make difficult decisions and maybe even to look bad. A discord perhaps in the reality versus a desired fantasy where it looks like we can defeat this virus without sweating. It disappoints me that we'd let the system _obviously_ fall apart instead of actually expecting this outcome and rationing use (especially giving the NHS priority).

I think one disappointing scenario that contributes is the desire to push people back into work (as is happening right now), it appears that desire is ultimately in conflict with our desire to ration testing so its bizarre that we'd allow these competing notions to organically compete as opposed to specifically picking a winner based on our inherent capacity.

If we stop sending people back to work or school then the amount of testing required drops significantly. It not people's fault for "wasting tests" the increased risk we've specifically chosen to take on as a country as we ease restrictions creates the conditions for this outcome. Lets not forget we permitted shielded individuals back out into society and to accommodate that we should be "wasting" tests for the people that directly interact with them.
Well in this case that would probably increase their notoriety but not their profile.

There is no value publishing against the apparent consensus for natural selection, because of the high risk, and the lack of a definitive proof, yet. A true scientist would even refrain to conclude for the natural selection hypothesis.

I find this not evil. If this is covertly used, that'd be evil.

I agree with the argument "If you do it to extract information from your user to which they would not consent, it’s evil."

However, we tend to get caught up in the right-now and not think through consequences. If this were widely used, browsers would implement the same sorts of privacy controls they do around 3rd party cookies, JS, etc.

This seems like a more semantic way to do tracking than many other techniques. It seems like it'd be easier for browsers to manage.
A question is how big those discounts are.

Microsoft have away a free browser with their operating system - leaving little room for other browser vendors to serve that market.

Trees burning in wild fires release CO2 that was captured in the last couple of decades by the tree in the process of growing. Burning fossil fuels releases CO2 which was captured millennia ago and buried deep underground.

What is the event here? The Reality Winner story happened 3 years ago and was picked apart thoroughly at the time. The event right now is that the NYT claims to have acquired secret documents, but since they are not sharing those documents, nor the testimony of anyone willing to go on record verifying the documents, that doesn't rise to the level of newsworthy.

I'm not going to claim that The Intercept made no mistakes ever. The fact that they took on Winner's legal defense bills are a clear sign they took responsibility for those mistakes and did what they could to make them right. I would think an institution which reported that there were WMDs in Iraq, leading directly to a war that killed hundreds of thousands, ruined the lives of millions more, cost trillions of dollars, and whose full ramifications have still not been felt, issued nothing more than a belayed mea culpa, and profited handsomely reporting on the chaos they helped cause would be more hesitant about dredging up the past mistakes of news organizations.

I'm not using Sweden as an example of "utopia." I'm using it as an example of a formerly left-wing country, where more than two thirds of the economy was the government, that has, as you put it, "aggressively" embraced "neo-liberal policies for the last ~30 years." Apparently, people have been satisfied enough with the resulting increased growth and competitiveness that they keep voting in "the parties in power."

One can reasonably disagree on whether all the consequences of these policies have been good ones. But if a whole bunch of countries tried "A" and then for the last 30 years have shifted away from "A" to "B" that is powerful evidence that there must be something to "B".
The common user is not going to be aware and therefore this allows bad usage. So I would consider it as potentially evil.
Amazon EC2 T4g Instances
With T4g instances, customers can optimize for both higher performance and lower cost per vCPU. T4g instances deliver up to 40% better price performance over T3 instances for a large number of applications built on open-source software utilizing Linux distributions. T4g instances also deliver 40% higher peak performance than T3 instances, enabling customers to migrate production workloads to T4g instances more effectively.

It doesn't work this way.

Given objective evidence of a political intent of anti-Chinese propaganda, such as the involvement of specific factions who want to blame China for the pandemic, it's perfectly reasonable to assume this text is "fake news", with only the form of a scientific paper.

And on the other hand, we already know that building a custom coronavirus in a few months is feasible, if not easy; proving or refuting a plausible story about a synthetic biological weapon made by specific people in specific laboratories is a matter of espionage and investigation, not of scientific evidence.

CG, most elegant of quadratic methods. Now let’s talk about why you wouldn’t use it. 1. In the form given, you need to know the terms of the quadratic. 2. If you know the terms, you can compute a stable point using QR, which is more efficient. 3. IIRC CG has better numerical stability than QR, but only under strict quadratic assumptions. 4. If you don’t have the form of the objective, but you know it’s quadratic, and you can compute a gradient, then it also works, but errors in the gradient compound. 5. If it’s not quadratic, then you have the same issue. You can try to account for this using resets or more complicated methods, but then, 6. For so many problems, the stability proof becomes too onerous or the evaluations become less efficient than simply doing more steps of gradient descent, which is why this is still the dominant method in neural networks, despite so much effort on ‘our’ part to find more efficient solvers.

Is not every bought or sold item or service subject to some form of "government" regulation? Looking at Lead for instance; isn't it materially beneficial to a society that it is no longer a routine constituent of our gasoline or drinking water pipes? Is our health not better? Isn't stopping companies selling vehicles that can break speeding laws the same?

When, or if mind-control chips come into being, then it'll be up to the societies of which we are all parts to decide how, or if they want to use them. It'll be one heck of a debate; freedom of internal thought vs stopping rapists and serial killers.

Now, if they screw up, and "bad" mind-control comes to pass, will anyone seriously be saying? "you know what; it was because they stopped speeding cars on public roads". Would that be likely? Or are neural links, miniaturization, better batteries, etc and a sh*tty society misusing them more likely to be orders of magnitude more culpable?

So when science and technology make it (where "it" is speeding) preventable - who wouldn't want to use it to prevent theirs and other's loved ones from being killed and maimed?

If it's CSS, then no.

If it's loading an external image, then also no. Certainly no more evil than any other method of getting a user's browser to make an HTTP request anyway.

If it's tracking users then maybe. Gathering data is evil unless you have a very good reason. If you're gathering it and not actually using it then that is definitely evil. If you're gathering everything in case you need it then that is also evil. If you're gathering data that's unique to individuals that's even worse. If you're gathering data that's unique to individuals, and keeping it, and using it to build up profiles by blending it with other sources, and then selling the information that's really evil.

Just gathering browser agent strings or screen resolutions though, it's not terrible. Although I do wonder why you need CSS analytics rather than just using the server log from the request for the HTML file.
