You are being a bit harsh. If you click the link it literally takes you to the first issue of the newsletter. It probably took you more effort to write that than making the effort to click the link to see what it is about, you literally can see the issue via the link without submitting your email address so there is no spamming involved. Perhaps read up on how newsletters work before accusing me of spamming people? And yes perhaps my landing page is not great, it’s just a temporary thing that I did and I am working on a more detailed version of that site.
We need much more open science though to tackle pressing issues of the world quickly. Although it is not that easy to do in a practical way. Every country/company/group will want strategic asymmetry that benefits them, this is how the world works for better or worse.

Appropriating Shepard Fairey's graphical style into a QAnon T-shirt and then wearing it to a Trump rally is an arresting masterwork of postmodernism. One wonders: is the wearer trolling the rally, or is he trolling himself? Perhaps we are all trolls. Perhaps we have all been trolled. HAND.
What's the reputation of healthline.com? You can attach all the sources in the world, but interpreting study results is non-trivial and definitely not for the layman. As a layman, I would still depend on a trusted, authoritative source for recommendations on health.

Even better, let's give them descriptive systematic names just like IUPAC does to molecules!
>I am not a fan.

Also agree. I've stopped watching the Weather Channel because I can't stand all of the stupid storm names. Naming everything doesn't raise awareness, it just creates fatigue and reduces the impact of "named == you'd better pay attention".
Wow that is really cool. How many acres/person do you need to farm for this?

> So perhaps Mike Bloomberg is corrupt then.

Yes, perhaps. Perhaps also the Pacific Ocean has some water and perhaps the sky is above the land and perhaps the Sun rises is the East.

Does anyone not think Bloomberg is corrupt?

> You can also see how using 'guilt by association' here makes no sense with Oracle if we keep thinking that 'Bloomberg LP is supporting Biden.'

But the argument here wasn't guilt by association—that some one was bad because they were associated with someone else that is bad.

It was that an action was taken to appeal to Trump by dealing with a firm known to be associated with and presumed to be favored by him. No one is guilty by association in that presentation.
We can also organize as individuals, become single issue voters, send demands to our politicians at the local, state, and federal level.

Maybe it takes too long, but at least it's something besides just individually doing the right thing.
That's fine, you keep doing you. Just done stop other people from living the way they want to.
Yet west coast politicians want to stop calling them "wild fires" in favor of a new term "climate fires".

So the question is, how much of these wildfires are due to climate change, and how much is due to bad forest "resource management" (not sure what this entails - preventing more frequent smaller fires with firefighting which causes bigger fires years later?) and how much to some other reason (water table depletion, etc)?
I'm completely confused here. I have always assumed gambling addiction is centered on winning it big, to recoup prior losses, or to otherwise change one's station in life. None of these things are possible on these apps.

I'm actually at a point of disbelief. I simply don't believe that gamblers spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a game they know will never make them any money. I'm open to the idea, but it certainly strains credulity. Why? Why would anyone do that? What would even drive one to do that?

At the extreme, how would you consider direct carbon capture (https://www.jefftk.com/keith2018.pdf etc) from the air?
"and may just fork off on the ARMv8.3 spec, adding a few instructions here or there"

No, they may not. People keep suggesting these kinds of things, but part of the license agreement is that you can't modify the ISA. Only ARM can do that.

> How is China going to carve that sphere of influence out?

Among other things, my expectation is that Taiwan will go the way of HK. South Korea may at some point reunite with NK and enter the Chinese sphere of influence more strongly. South East Asian nations are already strongly influenced by China.

> Japan already has a powerful military

They still have a pacifist constitution, I think [1].

> following WWII they effectively stopped being chauvinist as a nation

The definition of chauvinism is vague and I think it would be unproductive to enter a debate about which nation is/isn't chauvinistic.
In my view a form of potential chauvinism is built into any nation state. Nation states are a relatively modern fiction that depends to a certain extent on the belief that there is a 'we' that is different and sometimes better than 'them'.

However, in my previous comment I didn't mean to imply that Japanese imperial ambitions will be reignited. Simply that Japan will feel threatened by Chinese power and, unlike other nations in the region, will be more likely to strongly oppose that power, rather than accommodate it.

What are you talking about. My wife went through 2 windows laptops, and nothing by misery, until I gave her my 2013 Macbook and installed Windows on it, she's been using it for 5 years now. I ran OVER my 2015 Macbook Pro with a car last year (long story), it's bent and has rainbows on the screen but still works fine. My 5 year old iPad Air 2, which also got ran over with my Macbook, is bent but still runs fine.

I just took my almost three year old iPhone X in for an expanding battery, first real issue I've had with any of my iPhone's since I went snorkling with my iPhone 4. Since I didn't buy the extended warranty, they charged me $89CDN for the repair. Turns out they can't repair the battery, so I got a new iPhone X. Oh, that phone I snorkled with, they COMPED because I'm a good customer.
There is a caveat that this article doesn't consider.

In India, if you are studying for elite colleges, in this case the IIT's, you write the entrance exam designed specifcally for that, which is IIT-JEE.

Most people go for separate training camps to study for JEE. The 12th grade exams are a cakewalk compared to these exams, and the stuff you study for the JEE is sometimes super advanced, like calculus in super advanced levels.

Most kids studying for JEE ( I was one of them), don't optimize for 12th grade exams because the JEE exam rank is all that matters to get into these "prestigious" institutions.

So a bad 12th grade score is by design more than anything.

Though there is definitely a lot of signaling, the research has ignored a very important behaviour.
It’s not like FB is the only one making VR headsets.
We mostly do audio calls and get to the meat of what we need, sometimes I get informal and nothing is wrong with that, you can still gauge if someone is busy by how they respond or if they seem distracted. Every office is differently but we've always had two or three people working remotely so the transition is nothing special for most of us.

On another note we've had lunch calls on Wednesdays as a more informal setting so everyone can talk about general things and keep the social aspect going. Course some people don't feel the need to partake (I sometimes am too busy) so it's quite different from call to call.
Theoretically this would be covered under federal law, but it needs a lawsuit.
The language already has such runtime, for example IBM z/OS.

https://www-01.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/svc00100.nsf/pag...

> Language Environment supports z/OS (5650-ZOS).IBM Language Environment (also called Language Environment) provides common services and language-specific routines in a single runtime environment for C, C++, COBOL, Fortran (z/OS only; no support forz/OS UNIX System Services or CICS®), PL/I, and assembler applications. It offers consistent andpredictable results for language applications, independent of the language in which they are written

The IBM z/OS bytecode is called ILC.

> Language Environment eliminates incompatibilities among language-specific runtime environments.Routines call one another within one common runtime environment, eliminating the need for initialization4 z/OS: Language Environment Concepts Guide
and termination of a language-specific runtime environment with each call. This makes interlanguagecommunication (ILC) in mixed-language applications easier, more efficient, and more consistent.This ILC capability also means that you can share and reuse code easily. You can write a service routine inthe language of your choice (C/C++, COBOL, PL/I, or assembler) and allow that routine to be called fromC/C++, COBOL, PL/I, or assembler applications. Similarly, vendors can write one application package inthe language of their choice, and allow the application package to be called from C/C++, PL/I, andassembler routines or from Fortran or COBOL programs.In addition, Language Environment lets you use the best language for any task. Some programminglanguages are better suited for certain tasks. Improved interlanguage communication (ILC) allows thebest language to be used for any given application task. Many programmers, each experienced in adifferent programming language, can work together to build applications with component routines writtenin a variety of languages. The enhanced ILC offered by Language Environment allows you to buildapplications with component routines written in a variety of languages. The result is code that runs faster,is less prone to errors, and is easier to maintain.

It would be quite educative for teaching programs to actually teach young generations of the capabilities of mainframes.
This is actually quite fascinating. If I’m understanding the article correctly:

“Unlike in a real casino, there is no way to win money back or earn a payout on coins.”

These apps apparently have no monetary payout. So it seems that people are simply paying to play a casino simulator. Clearly they have an addiction to real world gambling to some degree, but I find it really curious that they still find some sort of satisfaction in playing a completely fake gambling game.

Definitely in need of some regulation, no doubt this kind of gambling and others (I.e. loot boxes / skins) would only reinforce that addiction.

How do you feel about offshore companies?
Generally speaking, a tax haven is a jurisdiction in which taxes are either applied at a low rate or not at all. An offshore company is a company established in order to operate and perform business activities outside the jurisdiction in which it was officially incorporated, as well as outside (or off the shores of) the place of residence of its directors, shareholders and beneficial owners, which may be crucial for tax planning in certain legal systems. Usually, an offshore company is established in order to receive certain legal or tax benefits, to allow for a particular corporate structure or to protect the confidentiality of the beneficial owner and/or asset holder.
The six main benefits of incorporating an offshore company in one the tax havens:
Tax reduction;
Privacy;
Simple maintenance;
Asset protection;
Lower expenses;
Lower minimum share capital requirements.

Everything can be measured in principle and in practice.

Are you hungry? Yes.

That trivial question/answer exchange allowed me to measure 1 bit of information about your state or hunger.

Measurement isn’t the difficulty. Objectivity is the difficulty.

For a measurement to become “objective” it requires inter-subjective consensus.

Disagreement is the thing which hinders consensus.

And there is plenty of disagreement to go around when it comes to measuring things like “health”.
Much Unix software today is written by people who really don't appreciate or understand Unix. It leads to things like Homebrew (early on, at least) completely taking over and breaking /usr/local; to command-line utilities using a single dash (-) precending both short and long option names (granted, --long-opts is a GNUism, but it's a well-established standard); commands that output color by default even when the output isn't a tty; etc.

It's not hard to fix things like this, but it exemplifies a lack of familiarity with the Unix command line. There are an enormous number of tools out there that only exist because people don't know how to chain together basic 1970s Unix text-processing tools in a pipeline.
I think this may be a misconception that names raise awareness. In Japan, typhoons and large storms (tsunami..) get scientific names. However awareness is quite well represented in the population. I think what you need to change is how information is distributed in a culture that is more focused on video/music than reading. As well, tying this back into the costs they may face if they ignore it (fear sells)

However since we are now entering a solar minimum (entered?) I think this problem will disappear in the next few decades (or centuries). The question is does this problem need to be tackled with this new paradigm?
I'm not sure this is a particularly constructive line of debate, but predictions in the 1970s from [sources well known and accepted by mainstream press, if not reputable in hindsight or by other definitions] are pretty numerous. Here is one from Paul Ehrlich in April 1970:

"Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make...The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years."

There are many more. I think this type of stuff was that decade's click bait.
Yes, everyone can study for it, but generally the easiest ways to boost your SAT scores are to pay a tutor to drill you through the parts that can have the biggest impact on your scores, and to take the test multiple times until you get a score you like, both of which can get very expensive. Retaking the test is really helpful, as you'll be more familiar with the format and less stressed out the second time around, but a lot of students don't have the opportunity to take it more than once.
Something similar happened with my two year old, out of warranty iPhone with maxed out storage. It had the original battery swollen. I assumed they would just swap out the battery and charge me, but they said they wanted to send the whole thing in to be inspected, and unfortunately they didn’t have any prior gen phones with that level of storage on hand, so asked if I would mind receiving a current gen replacement.

From what I've read, gamblers are actually addicted to losing. They expect it and keep coming back, which is why a zero-win game is addictive, too.
Winning gives you more spins; why would you ever cash out? It's like living in Las Vegas, there's no need for you to ever swap your currencies back.

And the precedent has been set when it comes to these kinds of monetization strategies. It has been normalized by FIFA, Overwatch, Clash of Clans, and every other game that has MTX of some sort.

We can even point blame at the XBox game store for this, for being early to the "abstracting the currency you're spending from real currency" race.

All these casino games are doing is sliding down the slippery slope already carved by these other industry giants.

Both the US and USSR knew about neural networks for decades before fast massively parallel hardware made them feasible long after the end of the USSR, so I'm not sure that's a useful comparison. The development of the internet was driven by the state out of national security concerns, not market forces and was not widely used during the USSRs life, so I'm not sure that one is helpful to illustrate the OPs point either.
Humans of all ages have been killed by natural disasters as long as there has been humans. Nothing new. It is not like huge numbers of people are being killed by them all of a sudden. Increase in population and structure construction in these forests is why the toll seems higher now.

Apple originally claimed that the Samsung Galaxy phones were a direct counterfiet of their work. They sued, and Samsung made changes.

OnePlus buds are a new product (I think released in 2020). It's probably just an honest mistake by the CBP, but it could also be they have some official direction to seize these OnePlus products either because Apple considers them to be infringing, or the Feds are acting as part of the broader trade-war.

Gambling (in its many forms) has been getting out-of-hand for so many demographics recently.

Not just loot boxes and in-game casinos, but cryptocurrency gambling, sports betting, options and stock gambling, and much more. It seems like everywhere I go I enter huge gambling markets, and I see the same patterns of behavior in all of them, and the amount of people that are hurt terribly, sometimes to the point of complete financial ruin or even suicide, is immense. More immense than we believe if you ask me, because it's very shameful to admit this stuff, and I think most of it goes unnoticed.

In theory I like the idea of consumers getting to spend money however they want to, but it's clear that the downsides of letting apps manage their 'virtual item' gambling however they want to is terrible for so many consumers, and it's unfair how addictively-engineered these games are, often using optimization techniques and psychological tricks that the users do not understand, and doing whatever it takes to deceive people about their luck, odds, prospects, and so on.

Just that these companies will do anything they can to retain their whale shows how predatory it can be - they will not just offer free in-game items to keep you, but the true high-spends they will offer free products to like a free iPad or iPhone, and will sometimes dedicate significant employee time to using any trick they can to make sure these people keep spending their money on gambling.
I was surprised too since OP's writeup indicates that he has 2FA on everything. You would think that you'd at least get an email or push notification if you get removed from an ad account/notification settings get changed, so it seems like an oversight by FB.
You overestimate the human potential to be a rational actor.

You pay for the dopamine hit you get when you "win." The money - in real gambling - is a nice bonus.

But it's the hope of a neurotransmitter cascade in the brain that's really in charge.

It breaks the laws of physics as we know them. But we don't know everything, there is still a remote chance.

Conservation of momentum is so well established by this point, that's it's a very remote chance, and I'd expect it to still be conserved in that case, just through a mechanism we did not anticipate.

I'm just really rooting for new physics here, because I think is been about 70 years since we've had that.
This idea is absurd to the point of lunacy.
