Not sure how the link supports your claim. The question was not "is the doomsday clock moving closer to midnight" and safety is non synonymous with time on the doomsday clock.

And it really just detracts from a well written and reasoned counter argument to what Steven Pinker said. I tend to agree with the article. And it is good counter to the old "don't mind the gangs, they only kill each other" claptrap really.

The core point this article raises is that it is not clear why homicide rate should be accepted as the sole and primary measure of safety. And here you come and suggest that instead we should take the doomsday clock ... which I would argue would be a step back.

I have to say, the linked Voter Information document in the article does a great job of describing the intent of question and the consequences for a "yes" or "no" vote. I wish all ballot questions had such a clear explanation.

These ballot questions are typically bizarrely phrased in legalistic and often deliberately misleading language. Someone entering a voting booth unprepared to read a dense confusing paragraph about a topic they may have never thought of is vulnerable to the whims of whatever politics are in play behind the rhetoric of the ballot question.

Apple Screwed Up Its Marketing with the iPhone 12 Pricing
With the launch of iPhone 12, Apple follows Samsung in no longer providing a charger and cable with their phones. The marketing speak used to justify this is that it reduces electronic waste and is thus good for the environment.

Yet, many are pissed at this move and expressed their consternation online in many forums either directly or sarcastically.

This negative publicity is partly justified as any new iPhone owner will obviously not have a charger or cable and are being forced to shell extra for accessories that has been standard with every new phone. Even old iphone owners may not have the new charger - cable combo. So they rightly feel justified in their irritation that they are being forced to shell out more, to increase Apple's profit margin.

Apple could have avoided this negativity with a small change in its pricing and marketing.

It should have just included the cost of the cable and charger in the final iPhone 12 pricing. And then marketed that the cable and charger was optional, and those who didn't want it could get the iPhone 12 for a lesser price (minus the cost of the charger and cable). (It wouldn't have made any difference to the logistics.)

This would have actually better reinforced the marketing of this being an environmentally conscious move. And even delighted some new buyers not opting for the charger and cable (who would assume they are getting some discount, and would more readily believe they made a small contribution in protecting the environment)

Right now, Apple is busy firefighting the current narrative of "greedy" Apple everywhere.

Even more cool would of course be to join an expedition like this - but following one must be second best.

Sega Master System Architecture: A Practical Analysis
The SpaceX satellites are in such a low orbit that anything that is not actively being pushed back up (well given more speed in reality but whatever) by engines will come down in a couple years due to drag from the atmosphere. Most of the Starlink satellites from the first patch have already come down on their own as planned (as have the 2 tintin proto ones)

This applies for ISS even more (it is huge and thus a lot of drag) and thus it has one of the Progress spacecraft docked or the Russian service module use its engines to boost it back into proper orbit so that it wont crash down on earth.
Wires only pick up current when they’re moving through a magnetic field. Just sitting in one is fine. Although the internal compass isn’t going to work great.

Also people significantly overestimate the amount of current a normal (something you’re gonna encounter in day-to-day life) magnetic field can induce in a wire. There’s a good reason motors are packed with so many windings, you either need an incredibly large magnetic field, or a crap ton of wire, to get an interesting amount of current.

Whenever I use "begs the question" I'm only doing it to broadcast that I'm well educated to a presumably educated observer. That I know that it means "circular reasoning" is itself a form of a signal. I chose to use it over alternatives as a form of extended trust in the other party's education as well. Essentially it's a term used when having scotch with Obama's education secretary[0], not something to use over beers with the mates.

The issue with re-deploying it to mean "raises the question" is that it does the opposite. It signals to those that know its true meaning that the person employing it in that way is sloppy or imprecise or even that they are willing to knowingly appear to be so in order to redefine the language to better suit their preference.

This is essentially a matter of class and to any communicator that cares about how they're perceived it's important to use it correctly or to avoid it entirely.

You are writing like a depressed person. I think age is cool patina, you can get wiser, learn to meditate, i love old peoples wisdom and how they get easily emotional, i have upgraded my health several times since my twenties where i didn't eat as healthily as today, i sleep better, i have understood my bodily rhythms, my emotional life is amazing compared to when i was younger.

I know people who who's always had health issues and i have a grandmother who is 96, she loves her plants and her iPad, always tell me about all the books she's reading, the things she's seen on the internet, she cries with joy when she sees her grandkids and still sees her friends regularly. That's how diverse life is.

A lesson to learn is that numbers aren't everything. Yahoo mail was irrelevant well before gmail surpassed them in users. The Yahoo comments sections (on news) were as active as reddit until months ago... but boomerland.

A topic might have 1,000 yahoo comments, 1,000 reddit comments and 1,000 tweets but what happens on twitter is the culturally relevant one. Reddit's weirdo-land is better than Yahoo's boomerland, but Twitter is where politicians, journalists, CEOs, artists and such hang out.

Of course, money matters too. But, yahoo lost mindshare well before they lost users.

IDK if Google will go this way, but FB probably will. Remember that fb's growth strategy was (1)Harvard (2) Ivy League (3) Colleges (4) High schools & everyone.

I suspect that whatever fb decides to do vis-a-vid censorship, politics & such... they will be thinking of who, not just how many, user like and dislike it.
When I started college there was an orientation lecture by a special guest -- Carl Sagan. He asked us what we thought the probability is that there is life on other planets. The guy sitting next to me mumbled "50-50". Dr. Sagan said "50-50". He said there was no data on either side, and without it, 50-50 was the only probability he could assign to a binary question.

There is nothing more than one can say about Evola that wasn't said before. You can pretty much go to his page on Wikipedia and the first few paragraphs sound like a hit piece. I will say that everything is true, even the things that I know for sure are not. It does not matter, in the end there he is, popular as never before. "The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is."

Yes, a ballot question can be a referendum or an initiative. Basically, at least in MA, if you as a citizen want a law passed or repealed and you don't think the legislature will take it up, you can collect signatures of people who agree with you. If you get enough, it will be added to the next state election as a question for the voters to yea or nay.

In other words, it's a direct democracy end run around the usual representative democracy system.

Adding macros seems like a good way to destroy this reputation.

I am not convinced they are needed, and the examples provided leave me quite indifferent. But I haven't been enlightened by LISP yet so perhaps it's just me.

In particular,

> Many domains see repeated patterns that are difficult or impossible to express as a library. Macros can allow those patterns to be expressed in a more concise and less error prone way.

On the contrary, I believe such generic multi-domain libraries would be a hot mess to maintain. These abstractions would be way too high level, and undoubtedly different fields have significant, if small, different requirements.
Would be nice if they could also stop abstracting warehouse workers as well optimizable non-human automatons.

One thing that makes me think the chances are less than 50:50 is the bit in the book QED by Feynman where he talks about calculating the magnetic moment of a proton. He says at time of printing the experimental value is 2.97275 but the best theoretical value they had was 2.7 plus or minus 0.3 as the calculations were so complicated. The things are full of quarks and gluons going all over the place. If doing one proton is so hard a whole universe is going to be tricky.

The Doomsday clock idea has a lot of respectable people behind it but I've always been unclear how it isn't just a bias-o-meter.

I generally see people who describes themselves as capitalists in the “good” sense, act in accordance or in support of capitalism in the bad sense. They claim to like “the invisible hand” of the market etc, but don’t complain about monopolistic behavior or ever agree that healthy capitalism and efficient markets require regulation (as Smith, for example, was clear about.)

One thing that always surprises me about gymnastics is how inherently sexist it is. For nearly all sports, the male version of the sport is identical to the female version. Maybe women don't lift as much, don't run quite as fast, or do shorter distances (like in speed skating), but the basics of the sport are the same. Not so in gymnastics: men and women do entirely different things. Men are all about upperbody strength, women are all about flexibility and elegance. They're basically completely different sports, which I guess goes a long way to explain why athletes peak at totally different ages.

What if a female gymnast wants to do the horizontal bar or other "male" events? And even when they do have the same event in name, like the floor, they're still different for unnecessary reasons. For example, women have music, men don't. Why?

Obviously there are biological reasons why women aren't as strong, maybe it's unreasonable to expect women to do a heavy event like the rings, but most events could be equally accessible to everybody. But the sport itself forces athletes into very gender-specific roles. I can't help but wonder if unifying the sport may help to reduce this kind of abuse as well.

How do you get to the outer solar system without going through the asteroid belt?

We don't worry about hitting an asteroid if going through the belt, because the density of objects is so low.

If you wanted to stay in the asteroid belt you would have many more opportunities for a collision, so avoiding asteroids becomes a lot more important.

Why would you add macros to the most succinct widely used programming language that is loved for its readability?

Macros are generally useful because they A) make something more succinct, B) improve performance by doing something at compile time instead of runtime, or C) enable metaprogramming. The downside is that they risk the creation of unreadable or overly magic code.

Python already is succinct and already has metaprogramming (although not to the extent of Lisp, as pointed out by the rationale). And we all know Python is slow, but the downsides of making it less readable through macros outweigh the upsides IMHO. Python is loved for being readable. Instead let's improve on its general performance.
> It's a testament to Apple's build quality and long term support that you don't need to upgrade.
> Those phones you have to upgrade after a few years

Shall I remind you that Apple was sued and lost in Europe precisely because it forced user to either upgrade after after 3 years or be condemned to live with a phone that was throttled at like 50% cpu clock?

This is exactly why I never bought an iphone again, I don't want my phone to expire after exactly 3 years because of a forced update.
Apple probably stopped doing this since they lost that case, but let's not talk about a "testament to long term support" as if that was a long standing tradition.

I switched to android 7 years ago because of that and never had that kind of issue, Android upgrades don't brick my phone, and I have not noticed a worse build quality even though I am buying "cheap" (OnePlus).

The only thing that is making me consider Apple is privacy.
>So I am rolling with a cracked screen iPhone 6S+ until I can find the motivation to upgrade.

I recently fixed a iPhone 6S+ for a friend, primarily with an aim to retrieve the photos and contacts. It wouldn't switch on, and had a broken screen. I ended up replacing the screen, battery and the charger port+headphone jack flex. It cost less than £40 in parts and some elbow grease; a superb compromise for a phone, which supports iOS 14 albeit it might not receive any future OS updates.
