Maybe she was right, and there were two voices? The female announcement sounds like it was edited. Badly. This might explain the strange verbiage as well ("All buildings" stands out. That particularly phrase, with its inflection, sounds like it originally came from the end of a sentence too). I've heard other people say it sounds like the same voice used by the city during the summer protests or something along those lines.

For the purposes of arguing, let's say someone got ahold of some municipal evacuation recordings and chopped them up for this. It's not likely they had enough phrases to warn people a bomb would be going off in specifically fifteen minutes.

EDIT: For anyone curious about other instances of bad edits, listen to the word "this"; there's another word before that, and it was cut off: "thi-this area must be evacuated now". Also, "if you can hear this message, <unnatural pause> evacuate now." It's not likely any professional voiceover person would announce this way, nor would anyone who's paid attention to basic edits before consider this passable.

If this is all true, I guess the next question to ask is who would have access to those announcements, and who would think to use them? Most people would probably just use some text-to-speech thing unless it was easy/they had good reason. I'm probably overthinking this, though.

> the risk of web scrapers getting their proprietary data

That's some weird logic, to me at least. That data is literally given away to everyone but some people or organizations can't have it? If you want to control access to it, maybe at least require people to register before they can see it? Is it even proprietary if it's public with no access control whatsoever?

This for-profit internet is just really such a parallel universe to me.

I would rather you pay more and pay the full costs of your electrical use. Use solar, wind or invest in a nuclear plant if removing carbon is imported.

Causing extinction in the name of climate change when really it's about cheaper prices is a non-starter.
You don't. You take yesterday's CO2 from the atmosphere, turn it into today's fuel, and emit it as tomorrow's CO2 into the atmosphere. Then repeat the cycle continuously.

If you were successful in capturing the CO2 from the jet and taking it to the point of landing, the airplane would get (much!) heavier as it flew rather than lighter.

> "Alternately...is it possible that there are adaptive genetic traits that have not yet evolved, but will evolve in future, or is life on Earth already so old that everything that will exist has likely already evolved?"

Evolution seems to be a really ineffective mechanism though. It's sort of like how planets "evolve" to support life. Most don't. Some planets might need a terraforming lifeform to evolve. Evolution has done its duty, but now it's up to us mortals to take the next step and evolve ourselves.

If we begin with the unspoken assumption that the system is supposed to be useful, then it's effectively dead in the water because ideas aren't under national jurisdictions. I think this "weird juxtaposition" is the innate problem with the status quo.
We can't honestly equate the Uyghur genocide, jailing of political dissidents, Xi's dictator for life status and the CCP's censorship apparatus to the modern US, even when factoring in the ongoing travesties e.g NSA surveillance, unequal policing, and I could even throw in Epstein's killing in there if it makes you feel better.

This was a compelling and inspiring read, thanks.

The way the CS and genetics concepts map with each other is really fascinating and thought-provoking.

How would a curious engineer go about learning more about this particular "computer architecture" ?

Going further, is there a realistic career path for someone with a software engineering background to retrain, pivot and meaningfully contribute to research in this area ?

By meaningful I don't just mean the obvious role of building software tools for genetics engineering & research, but actually writing those RNA bits and designing vaccines or other similar items.

Would you need to basically start from scratch as a biology or medical undergrad before working your way up to a PhD, or are there interesting jobs at the crossroads where a previous career as an engineer might be an asset ?
> none of those comments are even able to describe which patent it is that is blocking "innovation in this space".

That's because there are over 700 of them:

https://patents.justia.com/assignee/e-ink-corporation

None of what you said about the physics of low power displays is wrong, but you're giving E Ink Corporation a pass when they really don't deserve one. They've been unreasonably hostile to basically everybody that has wanted to work with them over the years. No volume price breaks, no prototype-quantity orders (at any price), no partnering with other manufacturers, no shared development projects, absolutely no sharing of the proprietary driving waveforms to groups that want to use a different controller, etc.

Many, many embedded, tablet, even IoT projects that started out wanting to use an eInk display for power reasons had to settle for other technologies because the company just wasn't interested in exploring new leads that weren't one of their existing eBook partners. I can understand having priorities, but you're not supposed to be able to sit on a patent hoard this large while behaving this badly (FRAND requirements, etc.).

If you had constructed a new technology that is an improvement of a patented technology, the original owner doesn't gain ownership over your improvement. They only have the right to prohibit use of the original technology. If you patent the improvement, then anyone who wants to use it would have to license both your patent and the base patent's inventions. There isn't a concept of "derivative works" (like in copyright law) where if you didn't license the base patent, you lose ownership over the improvement. If you had failed to patent the improvement, then yes, the patent holder could conceivably use your improvement without paying you, but that's a different scenario.

In very large and complicated fields, you'll often have a minefield of conflicting patent claims, much of which are minor improvement patents. These often coalesce into patent pools, assuming all participants in the pool are interested in playing ball. (Looking at you, H.265.) You don't see certain players looking to invalidate patents on the basis of not having been paid for the right to improve their invention, because such a right doesn't really exist.

>i.e. wondering what the point of my life is despite it being “good” by most measures

Stephen Pinker uses an example that considering we have some evolutionary development followed by acquisition of rational ability that we tend to rationalize things we acquired through evolution. He uses an example of peacock but I use a different example.

For instance, cats have an evolutionary behavior which makes them cover their leftover food, to hide their tracks from prey (called 'caching'). If you have a cat living in your apartment, then you will see them try to cover their food with imaginary dirt [1].

If Cats developed rational ability, and you asked them why they were doing it on a hardwood floor, they might say "I do it because I give my food back to earth, this helps me procure my next meal", or "I do it because I am thanking the cat gods for giving me that food", or even "because I am cleaning my paws after eating by rubbing them on the ground right next to the bowl" or something other funny like that.

Same thing goes here. Evolutionarily speaking, we evolved to chase food and satiate the hunger. What happens if we are constantly 'full', well evolution doesn't really know much about that. There has been no natural conditions under which a creature is full all the time, however there are situations when a creature is hungry all the time.

If you are going to create a situation in which you're 'full' all the time (as you described 'good by most measures'), then you're pushing your mind in an uncomfortable situation where it doesn't know what to do. It's like if earthquake survivor sniffing dogs don't catch survivors for some time then they get depressed, so their handler has to make them sniff out fake survivors to make them feel better.

In a nutshell, you've eliminated your hunger, and now your mind doesn't know what to do. Reintroduce hunger. Not necessarily literally, but it would be the easiest, most practical way of doing it. I've been facing a similar problem for past few years, and my solution was to leave the comforts of the first world as an immediate measure and it made a big difference.

An image bookmarking app that can suggest similar images is a genuinely useful thing. That allows a user to rapidly collate a set of images based on some theme (so for example I use it for design/illustration projects). Despite the UI, it works, and I can't think of any other apps that do the same thing and have a better UI, so :shrug:.

However I'd still agree with you 100% on its cancerous nature: it's an app with a limited, specialised use (emphasis on app). That app leaking and pissing all over search results is not at all good and, as you say, contributes nothing for most people. By analogy, if I have some todos saved in a todo app, what would be gained (or more tellingly who would gain) by making my todos appear in public search results? Best answer I've got is simply that advertisers want that data, and want users on that app to advertise to (so, fuck you, users of search who were expecting useful search results).
Your definition is not quite accurate. Some forms of violence performed to promote an ideology are called war.

In fact, war is by far the most common, and the most destructive form of 'violence used to promote an ideology'.

You'll lose out on a lot. The baby will take up your life. You might even resent the child at first. This is only for the first 2 years though. Just slog through it and don't take too many risks in life. The next child gets easier as you get more experience. There's an awful lot to learn, but you'll learn fine.

I also recommend spending a little time with them, a minimum of 10 minutes. Listen to them, observe them, and let them figure things on their own. Babies know how to communicate at 2 months. By 6 months, they usually know how to say no or yes, in their own way (nodding, grouchy faces, and so on).

Every child is different too. Entirely different behaviors, and much of it is nature. They'll act very different to what's normally documented, and sometimes it's hard to know the effects of your parenting.

The biggest mistake people do with newborns is not giving them enough sleep. Newborns have trouble sleeping when they're tired, and are tired because they don't have enough sleep. They tire out after about 5 min of playing. Don't go out at night with the baby, let them sleep at 7 PM.

> How often do we hear about bombings where the bombers broadcast an evacuation message on a loudspeaker for 15 minutes prior to the explosion?

This is how the Provisional Irish Republican Army operated, at least some of the time. For instance they telephoned in warnings 90 minutes before the 1996 Manchester bombing (1500 kg bomb, 212 injuries and no fatalities.) I've read somewhere they had established codewords with British authorities so those authorities knew which warnings to take seriously.
I agree unlikely but that same thing crossed my mind, an oceans 11, Italian job plot, knock out AT&T and the bank alarms go out ? I doubt it but come Monday Morning if a bunch of bank vaults in the area are cleaned out, it would be a pretty amazing heist plot for sure. But they would have to have some inside info because most C.O.'s have diesel generators so if the AT&T C.O. there depended on Natural gas, someone would have to know that. Also, most of them have 4 - 8 hours of battery so the AT&T services went about that long after. I am sure the cops are standing guard in front of the banks right now I would guess.

It's a good deed that they broadcast this message?

Why a rational human would broadcast this message-

a) The penalties if there were deaths would be much, much more severe. The manpower involved in the hunt would be exponentially larger.

b) They have some other goal that would be sabotaged if there were deaths.

c) They have morality and can rationalize bombing buildings, but not killing people.

This isn't a "good deed". It's a presumably rational person playing the situation.
