Actually your speculation is a good one.

From the book Why we sleep, by Matthew Walker, it's reported that teenager's circadian rhythm is different from the one of their younger siblings. It's shifted progressively forward, so forward that it passes even the timing of adults.

This is something wired in their brain and should be addressed when setting school times.

Moreover, Walker also proposes a socio-evolutionary explanation of why adolescent sleep schedule is shifted:

"Central to the goal of adolescent development is the transition from parental dependence to
independence, all the while learning to navigate the complexities of peer-group relationships and
interactions.

One way in which Mother Nature has perhaps helped adolescents unbuckle
themselves from their parents is to march their circadian rhythms forward in time, past that of
their adult mothers and fathers.

This ingenious biological solution selectively shifts teenagers to a
later phase when they can, for several hours, operate independently—and do so as a peer-group
collective.

It is not a permanent or full dislocation from parental care, but as safe an attempt at
partially separating soon-to-be adults from the eyes of Mother and Father.
There is risk, of course.
But the transition must happen. And the time of day when those independent adolescent wings
unfold, and the first solo flights from the parental nest occur, is not a time of day at all, but rather
a time of night, thanks to a forward-shifted circadian rhythm."

It is true that immediately after the election, there was a "Russia hacked the election" narrative that many partisans were latching on to to explain an unexpected Trump victory.

I think the primary distinction is that democratic politicians and "thought-leaders" (or wtv term is better suited for influential partisans) quickly dismissed the fact that the actual democratic institutions were compromised (that is to say, the integrity of the vote was compromised, or that ballots didn't represent vote intention), but rather the claim quite quickly became that an influence campaign was supported by foreign powers, and the Trump campaign was happy to profit from it, if not colluding with said nation-state actors.

So, you're entirely correct that we have a tendency to seek out the narrative that best affirms our priors, but whether that tendency is legitimised depends on our institutions and the people we put in places of authority.
Once you consider the full ramifications of continuing to spread this lie in the context of violent race riots, it gets really dark really fast.

That, or I've been living under a rock.
I watched the interview with the artist at the bottom of the article, and apparently the sculptures have been lost.

Hurwitz received the sculptures in the U.K. from the lab in Germany on a slab of glass. Hurwitz then found a local electron microscope operator so he could look at them. After getting an initial set of images, the owner of the microscope accidentally put his finger on the glass when adjusting it’s angle in the microscope—losing the sculptures.

Hurwitz says, “the sculptures have been lost and in their place is a story.”

As a corollary all of the pictures of the sculptures not on a blank background must therefore be overlays (or possibly renders?)

You are claiming that being verbally abusive in response to a correct claim is justifiable as long as the author eventually wrote something that may be itself derived from the same correct claim.

More concisely: you're way out of line here and doubling down is pushing you further over it
The group of people protesting in Charlotte were chanting blood & soil and carrying confederate flags. Anyone joining in that protest, is explicitly supporting that cause by being in that protest. That makes the entire crowd complicit in white nationalism. Trump's claim is that these people who are happy to protest in a coalition of white supremacist and neo nazis are very fine people and not themselves white supremacists? It's absurd.

The Charlottesville protest was a racist, bloody affair that ultimately resulted in a counter protested being killed after a white supremacist drove their car into the crowd of protestors. But, Trump felt it was very important to defend the protestors and in particular defend Robert E Lee, a man responsible for leading the war to keep a state's rights to slavery. The idea that this is somehow not racist and Trump is a man of equality, is again, absurd.
I had looked into those claims around the Central Park Five last year that have since been repeated in Netflix documentaries and on news segments, carefully reading the ad itself. Didn't see strong evidence that the ad was racist as claimed or that it demanded that they be sent to death as often claimed, so I think it was another case of people interpreting it in a way they thought would be politically favorable to them.

A quote from the ad states "Many New York families — White, Black, Hispanic and Asian — have had to give up the pleasure of a leisurely stroll in the Park at dusk...", so there's reasonable inclusion there.

It does go onto say "Mayor Koch has stated that hate and rancor should be removed from our hearts. I do not think so. I want to hate these muggers and murderers.", which can be interpreted a few ways. Nobody was murdered, so it could be referring more generally to murders which have degraded a sense of public safety as a trend since the death penalty was abolished. Still, it would have been better phrased to temper the trend of guilty until proven innocent to prevent reactive unjust violence, but at the same time you don't want everyone to be so apathetic about reported crimes that nothing gets done.

It's no secret that Trump was not a fan of the Central Park Five which is something he was free to express, but when the guilty charge for rape was lifted there still existed other significant evidence of wrongdoing that makes it harder to justify them being rebranded primarily as victims themselves.

More controversially it states "They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes." The Central Park Five did not kill and as a result, bringing back the death penalty would not have caused them to be executed. It seems more geared towards suggesting the reinstatement of the death penalty as a stronger disincentive to those who would commit violent crimes that could result in death.

The better argument against the ad in general is that the justice system is imperfect and while intense anti-crime passions are understandable, there may be enough noise in the system that the ability to formally execute people is probably something it shouldn't be trusted with.

It's one of those cases where I disagree with a central point the ad is making, but also disagree with people's claims about the ad.
I'm sure you can point to individual wackos but what is there that has the same scale and impact as Qanon? It's a very unique thing, and it's almost exclusively affecting conservatives.

I don't see him posting how the Bettfair was way more accurate than his polls.

I also get that Nate Silver doesnt poll himself, but he aggreates polling information, assign grades and mixes it into his formula. I just have zero trust in it. It's not like we get to test his predictions often. 1 sample size every 4 years.
The dogma raise https://dygma.com/ that i recently obtained is the first backlit keyboard that I’ve seen that uses per key rgb backlighting in a useful manner.

It has 8 layers and is completely programmable including the backlight. I set different colors on different keys for a layer so I can visually verify which layer I’m on.

Not quite the flexibility of what you mentioned, but it might be possible, as the firmware and programmer are open. Kind of like what apple had in mind with their absurd touchbar, but with physical keys.
apple no longer makes computers for people who actually like tech, they make easy mode devices for normals

It’s interesting to see how it swings the same way again. I hear the ‘masks are bad’ mantra from both the most right, and most left wing components of people I know.
It's not as if other countries are lands of gold and honey... I live in Europe, and there are also anti-lockdown Covid-skeptics around here screaming "The goverment has turned authoritarian and is slowly turning us into sheep!" (luckily they're in the minority). And surely they are or will be vaccine-skeptics.

It seems truth has become subjective. I tried to talk to a QAnon-spouting girl and posted links to Snopes or The Guardian. She said, "Well, MSM is owned by the Rottschilds so you can't rely on them to tell the truth.". I never asked where she read this, but she probably would've replied she figured this out by reading some random Wordpress blog or watching some nutter on YouTube.

I thought "So, you believe those sources and think my sources are lying?!?". But wait, from her point of view, this sentence is also true! One could try asking them to check the reputation of their sources or dig deeper, but it seems this is an exercise in futility. When there are actual doctors arguing against Covid restrictions or publishing flawed studies on hydroxychloroquine, how do we trust who is reputable? (I'm talking about Didier Raoult, who now also has conspiracy theorists championing him as someone the French government "ousted" because he wasn't towing the party line).

Then again, there are utterly stupid conspiracy theories like the Wayfair one: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-53416247 ; the idea that secret cabals would use publicly accessible online shops to traffic children is laughable, but the people who believe this sort of thing doesn't get that the real human traffickers (is a sad fact that they're out there) probably knows how to communicate in secret.
> anything pro-Trump being consistently flagged which is so fitting of your liberal friends.

That's simply not true. There are pro-Trump comments here that are not being flagged or downvoted into oblivion. But they're the substantive comments that aren't full of baseless claims about Trump being the victim of conspiracies and abuse.
You're that ninja!
Is it your contention that the people defending the statue of Lee would have given similar reasons for their behaviour as those who restored Auschwitz's sign? I ask, because that seems very unlikely to me.

Context is important. Few are arguing that there shouldn't be remembrances of those people and events and the reasons for them, it's how those things are remembered that is in question.

What if we could use electron energy levels in a molecule to mediate a light-based gate? (Sorry in advance for imprecise terminology...)

Lets say we have a molecule with two energetic orbital states. An electron in the Ground state (G) can be lifted to Orbital 1 (O1) by photon with wavelength A, and can be lifted from there to Orbital 2 (O2) by a different photon of wavelength B. Photon B alone is too energetic to lift from G->O1, and not energetic enough to lift directly from G->O2, where photon A is exactly enough to lift from G->O1. So the gate would be set by photon A raising the orbital from G->O1, and the gate is read by sending photon B which is only absorbed if A has already been absorbed. Compose multiple such gates by designing a pair (or more) of molecules where the wavelengths of A & B are swapped, so that the first molecule's B photon is the second molecule's A photon, etc. Maybe recover energy from excited orbitals by passing a laser of each wavelength through all the molecules at the end of each 'cycle', inducing the molecule to emit any absorbed photons in a useful direction to be recycled.

Thoughts?
I wonder how big is the size difference of the binary. Original app is surely many times smaller as usual.
Exactly! While our (Czech Republic) voting system is far from perfect (the current president is rather controversial and the prime minister is a populist with some rather shady financial deals) political parties regularly go out of business if they fuck up strong enough. And this system will likely also fix the current problems over time, resulting in possibly less bad state.

Having just two parties is insane, that simply means they can get away with anything & just take turns once in a while as voters have no other choice.
> The thing that will sit deep within me for at least the next few years is that, no matter how you slice it, a vote for Trump is complicit acceptance of his divisive and harmful behavior. ...

How many Biden voters would approve of his full-throated support for the Iran and Iraq wars? How many support his current stance against Medicare for All? How many would defend the Obama administration's escalation of the Drone Wars (assuming they're even aware it's going on)?

The bigger question here is how many Americans were voting for the the least terrible option?

Duverger's law has a lot of redundancy in our current system. If you implement something like IRV on the state level for presidential elections without handling the Electoral College, then you've just further increased the odds of Republican presidencies.
Then it should also ban other browsers, movie streaming apps, music streaming apps, ebook readers, etc. Be consistent.
Anyone else want to see more states adopt something other than a winner-take-all allotment of electoral votes? Here in Pennsylvania we’d be about evenly split. I wonder if splitting our electoral votes would moderate our politics.
Yes they can affect the outcome, but the opposite direction than you described. People who feel their candidate is doomed to lose don't turn out. People like to vote for a winner.

edit: To be clear, when polls overwhelmingly suggest a landslide, it suppresses votes from both sides. But a much higher proportion of the losing side will choose not to vote, thus inflating the gap.
Trade wars are sometimes justified. Your suggested strategy does not only have bad political and human consequences - it's not stable strategically.

Eventually, China will use its huge manufacturing edge to create a military advantage - this is already starting to happen - and then it could bully all of East Asia to give its trade massive advantages, while absorbing Taiwan.

The US must rebalance before it is too late. Hopefully latest technological development might make this rebalance easier.
It's going to be both: It's not cheap to convert a ship to fuel cell power, so in the short-term a lot of them will just burn ammonia as a fuel. Longer-term, converting ammonia into H2 and N2 will be the more common strategy.

So, your answer to someone feeling distaste for fascists and racists is they just aren't immersed enough in the fascist worldview to feel sympathy for it?
It's important, I think, to not toss out the baby with the bathwater. Are fact checkers inherently biased? Probably. Should we ignore them? No. CNN's fact checkers called out the distortion on the 'both sides' discussion, as did PolitiFact and others.

When it comes to fact checker bias, PolitiFact is a good example to look at because they publish numbers on all the politicians. If you look at both left and right wing politicians, you'll see that they say plenty of inaccurate things. Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Hillary Clinton, Biden, all say inaccurate or untrue things to the order of 20 - 45% of checked statements.

Trump is in a category all his own. 72% of his checked statements are inaccurate.

Of course you should subject those numbers to scrutiny. Certainly there is sample bias in what statements get checked. But it is easy to find many, many Trump statements in which he makes statements that are so verifiably untrue that it becomes easy to conclude that he has little interest in providing evidence for his opinions. This graduates him from garden variety bias into active malfeasance.

I think it's important to recognize bias and fight it, but in the end, the mainstream media at least holds itself to a factual standard, as do mainstream politicians on both sides. Trump is very, very different. He himself represents nothing more than a war on factuality itself and a disdain for consensus or evidence of any kind.
Did you vote? For whom?
democratic voters tragically did respond to the fearmongering of establishment propagandists, but the problem for them isn't in the electoral sphere. it's on the ground where people are facing mass evictions, a mental health and suicide epidemic, poor communities facing a "dark winter", and so on. the moderate wing of the democratic party choosing not to protect vulnerable communities won't make these problems go away.
A lot of the right-wing people that I follow also seem to think that they are having democracy taken away from them. They point to their freedom of speech being restricted, biased fact checkers, big tech being against them, and ballot stuffing.

You might think that they have zero proof, but they're definitely doing their best to find something (https://twitter.com/toad_spotted/status/1325124277503406080), although a lot can be explained without "cheating" (https://twitter.com/HayekAndKeynes/status/132519429924449075...).

Expectations about what constitutes being qualified for leadership positions. The automatic deferring to old men as authority figures over other people (trans people have direct experience). The way most many carry out competition. The idea of stoic sternness as being the ideal. Tone and voice.

Trans people who express themselves as male have a ton of interesting anecdotes about how they were suddenly seen as more competent just for being men.
The owner of the gaming service is still curating the content available through that service. It's not like simply running the service through the browser allows any and every game to be on the service. Game devs for instance, would still need to negotiate with the owners of the game service in order to have their game available on the service. Might even need to pay the game service?

I'm glad we got Trump out of the white house. But I'm still skeptical.

The growing divide and threat of civil war ( not going to happen btw ) are nothing compared to what will happen in the next 50 years of we do not have a green new deal.

Climate change, and its little brother over fishing and unchecked exploitation of our environment, is an existential threat to the human race. Bernie took it seriously. Warren took it seriously. I'm not convinced the new establishment takes it seriously. We need radical action YESTERDAY. More business as usual is not going to cut it.

Furthermore, the new administration doesn't believe in Medicare for all. They plan to do nothing about the currently broken system which causes 40% of people who are diagnosed with cancer to spend their entire life savings and often go bankrupt as a result of something that is not at all their fault.

Democrats down ballot got massacred, well progressive policies like decriminalization of drugs, and raising the minimum wage passed with large margins.

I'm glad we won but this was a mess and we're still not getting towards where we actually need to be: preventing the apocalypse
