>This is unfortunate and unacceptable. Joe should have a free and censorship free place to discuss topics.

I mean, Joe signed the contract and choosing what to exclude was more than likely discussed in negotiations, or even written into the contract. He opted to take this route.
> Would you say the same if someone questioned the original race of Sub Saharan Africans in distant history?

Nobody is questioning the ancestral homeland of anyone. Just because some Scandanavians were dark skinned or had ancestors from outside Scandanavia - maybe even somewhere where people were mostly dark skinned - doesn't mean they weren't Scandanavian, unless you choose to believe that "Scandanavia" is a racial and not a geographic term.

At some point in relatively recent history some European ethno-nationalists developed this concept of a "racial homeland" and unfortunately to this day that way of thinking holds appeal among some groups.

All humans ultimately descend from hominids from more equatorial regions, and on the scale of hominid history we've only very recently left those regions.

> If race is a social construct then there isn't a Black nation, Black peoples, or anything ancestral to anyone who identifies as Black.

It's exactly the opposite, black identity exists precisely because race is a social construct, and furthermore is a powerful construct that has dictated the fates of untold millions throughout history.

That SA article has been overtaken by events.

We still don't have any evidence of early, drowned civilizations, but the comet strike now seems to be responsible for extinctions in both South America and Africa. As an aside, you don't need a crater. Multiple airbursts over a wide area, Tunguska style, provide plenty of devastation.

You might be able to believe in mass extinctions caused by newly arrived humans in South America, but explaining the African ones the same way ought to get you funny looks. The more you think about that, the less plausible human responsibility for the American extinctions becomes.

presumably since the protein is usually present, and the prion is just has a misfolded shape, it would be very tough to get the immune system to attack just the prions... however, there's at least one paper that has researched a vaccine in mice against a scrapie prion infection.

are there even treatments for any prion diseases? for BSE/mad cow disease, they killed millions of cows. to this day, if you're from/were in the UK during the outbreak, you can't give blood in quite a few countries.

and - surprise! - apparently prions could be spread via the air [0]. but it isn't clear how this could occur naturally, so at least that's good news.

But this is missing the elephant in the living room (this thread), which is nuclear.

One of the main issues with nuclear is that it isn't cost effective to turn on/off to meet demand changes in day and night. Nuclear power stations usually only generate energy for the baseload. If we were to cut energy consumption down at night (by increasing costs), the baseload would also drop, and leave an even larger gap to meet for peak, which must be met by other means like solar or fossil fuels.

If anything, we want to shift some energy consumption to off-peak times like early hours, so that the baseload is higher and can be met by cheaper nuclear, along with other solutions like tidal. If this happens, the gap between peak and baseload during the day/evening will be smaller, and can be met with solutions like (concentrating) solar which are more environmentally friendly than photovoltaics + batteries.
They are dropping things I might actually pay for to focus on products I never will...
False. Neither freedom of speech nor censorship are tied to the concept of a government. They are much more fundamental and basic than that. Additionally large tech platforms control enough of societal discourse that they function as defector public squares. Censorship by tech companies is as effective as censorship by governments.
He has talked about this at length (its was most of one of the episodes), or rather his guest did.

Its a lot more nuanced, the conversation on that particular episode was about whether _children_ are both mature enough and not likely to change their opinion about having hormone therapy/etc, frequently before puberty. And the situation those children's parents find themselves in, and how much of that situation is the child seeking a transient identity to belong to or various other reasons that I suspect a lot of people find to be red flags. Much like a lot of JRE conversations, certain things are condemned, usually outlandish things everyone can agree are outlandish, but he also notes that there are reasoned counter points, and he is willing to concede on them. The result is a gray line that no one who actually listens to these conversations can frequently conclude is coming down hard one side.

Hello and thanks for asking such questions!

Everyone may have different definition for words: "undervalued company". What we mean by "undervalued company" was explained on our landing page.

Basically, for us, undervalued company is a company whose "operating income/ev" is the highest among some set of companies. So, "undervalued" for us means "undervalued" in relation to their financial statements, because it shows how much money given company is making from its operational activities in relation to how much money people would like to pay for it - so we get a multiplier (call it "gem" multiplier).

You can agree with this definition or not, this is up to you. However, what we (and this is well explained on our landing page) and lot of other people showed using historical data (for different time periods and countries) is that in the long term (many years) companies having higher "gem" multiplier have higher chance to outperform (for stock returns) companies having lower "gem" multiplier. That's it.

We are just inferring conclusions from history and we let you use such conclusions.

Please refer to our backtests included on the landing page and other analysis we refer to.

Additionally, I encourage you to watch this video from Google Talks explaining why using such method may work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r1vJZ80Z7I

There are two vaccines on the final stages of development in Russia. One from Gamaleya center (Moscow), another from «VECTOR» facility (Novosibirsk).
From my (layman's) point of view, Gamalaeya's vaccine is somewhat hurried in development. Also, Gamaleya is known for its lobbying power. In the past, it approved and popularized a number of controversial drugs like Kagocel and a few of «-feron» drugs.
VECTOR's vaccine, on other hand, looks more trustworthy.

> Populous cities with expensive real estate, including Houston A and Miami B, will see damage tallied in the billions — losses worth several percentage points of GDP — largely driven by storms, sea level rise and deaths from high heat, Hess said. Climate will have a larger proportional impact in rural places like Gulf County, Florida C, which might lose half its economy.

Even in the high emissions scenario, apart from some hard hit gulf coast areas, the losses will be a couple of percent loss in GDP. With some places even increasing in GDP due to better suitability for agriculture? Why do we need a “total economic mobilization” to avoid this?
It is a massive amount of work to rework every single application's shortcuts. Higher level frameworks (e.g. KDE) may have ways of doing so centrally, but most applications do not use the higher level frameworks.

If you were to suddenly change 1/3 of the applications on Linux to use Mac style shortcuts, it would make usability worse.

Wait, that doesn't sound right. It's a bit hard to tell with Google translate. But from what I see on the wikipedia article (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verdrillmast) Germany is doing exactly the same thing as is done in the US - the US does not twist lines in midair. Only at poles.

What do you mean by "moving parts"? The US lines don't have any parts that move more than slightly, which EU lines do as well (they have too: the lines themselves expand and contract, and move in the wind, so the insulators have to have flexibility).

Time to first plot is still painful even in julia 1.5, sure.

But after paying that startup cost, the speed boost can be transformative in terms of the flexibility and dynamism that it buys. I've been using Pluto.jl lately, and interactive data analysis feels like way less of a burden than working in jupyter.

As to harder to use, writing fast vectorized numpy code can take a lot of mental effort. For one project I ended up forcing things into this 5-D array broadcasting mess, where in julia it's way simpler to just write intuitive code that's performant without bending over backwards to avoid explicit loops. For numpy code you can "just" drop down to cython, but for pytorch you can get stuck with thinking up some clever broadcasting solution.

Your skylight anecdote aside, the EV rebates are about subsidizing the creation of an entirely new trillion dollar industry around batteries and electrification. They are about moving up the “manufacturing learning curve” at an accelerated rate on this new technology. And they are also about geopolitically moving away from oil.

The relatively meager environmental gains along the way are dwarfed by the larger environmental gain that start really compounding after 15-20 years of investment on this particular technological path and energy policy.

It only takes one tiny stream of water to make it's way through the glacier and start eroding away at it. If you've seen videos of dams collapsing, they also start from the smallest of trickles which quickly turns into a feedback loop of more erosive power.

Rogan's schtick is that he lets his guests explain their ideology without directly attacking it. Instead he has an assistant fact-check any claims they make, and Rogan is also very forthright about calling them out on logical inconsistencies - "you said x just before, now you're saying !x, can you explain how that makes sense?"

The spirit of open curiosity and honest discourse is important. It also gives some ideologues enough rope with which to hang themselves, eg the Milo Yiannopoulos incident.

That's a cool question about treatments. I guess there's no FDA-approved therapy for mad cow, but I did find this cool animal model using 'anti-prions.'

"Here, we report a novel experimental strategy for preventing prion disease based on producing a self-replicating, but innocuous PrPSc-like form, termed anti-prion, which can compete with the replication of pathogenic prions."

Fail safely. In this case the failure of the beam should have broken the cables or fallen in such a way to not create a pathway across the non-zero phases.
Fair.

OTOH, the less you prove correct, the more bugs you leave, and you get people asking "How did software get so reliable with so little proof?"

On the third hand (I think that's the number I'm up to now), types are a kind of proof, and I really do want those. So I think there's some kind of curve, with no proof giving you lots of bugs (which are expensive to fix, and bad for your product's PR), and full proof taking forever and costing a ton, and somewhere in between being the sweet spot.

And where is that sweet spot? I would say at least type systems, but less than full formal proof. Somewhere in between, which leaves a lot of room and therefore is not much help. Worse, where exactly the sweet spot is probably depends on several things, which means we can't give any simple answer.

> But I guess that's not the kind of freedom you are interested in.

I do not see a suggestion by anonu that the people they disagree with should be deprived of their freedom.

To criticize people for saying something is not the same as saying they shouldn't have the right to say it. That would only be the case if somebody had an absolutely authoritarian mindset. It unnerves me how quick some are to conflate these positions, as though they view the world through an authoritarian lens and assume others must as well.

"People shouldn't say mean things" and "People shouldn't have the right to say mean things" are not equivalent statements unless you are an authoritarian.

That's a good question. Contractual obligations with Spotify? I've been pondering this for a while. It does seem somewhat plausible because some of the episodes removed weren't controversial. Rogan also hasn't commented on this. It's also unclear whether he would deny it even if it was false. I've also been wondering why would Alex Jones lie about this? If he was going to create a narrative, I would expect it to have some crazy "Democrat elite controlling the media" bend to it.
If politics is consequential, then one of the worst ways to handle it is have people digging themselves into entrenched extreme positions just to "win" the ideological war against their dehumanized imaginary enemy. Better to shut them up so at least they have a chance to engage their brain in peace without the endless emotional need to fight for whatever unreasonable nonsense somebody goaded them into getting angry about.
