Someone on the other thread pointed out that search engine users are often specifically seeking news in a way that Facebook users aren't.

That makes this an area where competition between search engines matters, even if what link targets want doesn't matter at all.

It's entirely possible that Google's internal position was "this is a tax on search engines, and the higher the taxes on search engines are, the better for us".

I think a lot of it comes down to how it's processed... fermentation probably made it safer to consume over time.

I think the aversion to dietary fat for the past 3 generations combined with refined seed/bean oils has been hugely detrimental to human health as well. Not to mention, even with reductions, we still consume a massive amount of sugar per capita compared to pre-wwii levels.
If it turned out that BTC was a primary vector of money laundering and means to pay for illegal stuff, the US could declare it illegal which would crash it instantly. EU and China probably and everyone else probably would as well if that were the case, and then it would be wiped out.

Specific kinds of regulations might kill it as well - though most regulations probably validate it, there could be certain things that make it impossible to survive. Maybe some kind of regulation regarding asset size + value certification, or something about the security of the BTC numbers. Or possibly something about disclosure - since BTC allows you to keep 10 Billion in your drawer at home ... it creates a problem similar to offshore financing.

Musk was maybe smart to buy BTC because he's the kind of guy who can give it hype and 'cred' ... but either 1) he doesn't realize what it actually is and is unknowingly pushing Ponzi or 2) he knows what he's doing and happy to take money from dupes and rubes. I suggest it's the former, as everything Musk says leads me to believe he has never opened a finance text. The paradoxes of great leader: their giant blind spots outside the realms of their interest. Gates, Musk, Jobs, Bezos, Soros ... they can be big visionary in some areas and insufferable fools in others.
there's actually an interesting argument that i first heard Diane Fleischman pose -- that chicken is worse than beef on a calorie/animal measure and so would harm more animals because it takes more chickens to feed x people than it does cows, and so more animals suffer for the same amount of food produced.

Indeed. Even if eating meat caused zero deforestation (directly or indirectly), it's super inefficient. If everyone stopped eating meat, 75% of the land used for farming could be re-wilded. That land area is something like China, the US, the EU, and Australia... combined.

I'm not vegetarian, but after seeing the results of deforestation first hand I've reduced my meat intake substantially. Side benefits included improved cooking abilities and lost weight without trying.

Doesn't much of these sulfur emissions disperse and break down before it reaches land when they're out to sea?

There's already a lot of activity to reduce emissions when ships are near land. In Norway there's a big push to provide electricity from land when the ships are docked. There are also a very big hybrid ferry that has enough battery to run electric for the first and last few minutes near land.

Maersk wants to have its first carbon neutral vessel by 2023, and be net zero emission by 2050. That's probably going to be done with ammonia as fuel, which I don't think has big problems with emissions.

So it seems like there's already a good amount of pressure to solve this problem. Could be better of course. But "the largest emissors don't change one bit" is pretty far from true. Shipping is not really the biggest problem in total emissions, especially for CO2, and seems to be following the development in the zero emission space quite well.

Why “agrees” and not “decides” ?
Primaries are only tangently related to complementary colors. Sure, it is commonly said that every RYB complementary pair is also a primary/secondary pair.

But complicating this is that primaries can be defined in many ways.

Any primary set expresses indivisibility. The psychological primaries set is: black, white, red, green, yellow, blue. To me this seems wonderfully commonsensical. No matter that in RYB space, black can be expressed as a mix of red, yellow and blue in equal proportion. For me, black is black. Full stop. However, these primaries have limited utility in design.

The RYB primaries started life exactly as utilitarian tools for painters. From this set, all other colors can be defined (so long as one had a warm/cool pair of each primary).

Almost 95 percent of the soybeans grown in the U.S. are genetically modified.

In 2007, over half the world’s soybean crop was genetically modified; a higher percentage than any other crop.

https://worldofgenetics.weebly.com/genetically-modified-soyb...

Asians are probably eating less GMO soy (than Americans) and we don't really know what those genetic modifications do in terms of human health. They are typically made to improve profit in some fashion, not to improve human health.
" He was in a horrific crash on one of those salt flats and his personality was permanently changed. He went from being pleasant to the person I knew him as-- cold, strange and reclusive."

If it was not traumatic brain injurie, like others mentioned, I can maybe give an other point of view.

I guess it is the struggle of acceptance. Everyone knows accidents happen, but before you were in a bad one and have high self esteem, you likely believe, this won't happen to you. That would be unfair.

"Those things cannot happen to me" - well, yes, they absolutely can happen to you. Why not to you? Why not to me?

I had that with a actually not so serious sport accident, which still meant I could not do sport for years - which was a very serious crisis for me. WHY ME?

Well, why not me. In hindsight I would rather think I was very lucky, to not have that accident, while being somewhere far off.

Today I can even do (moderate) extreme sports again, ... but much more aware of what I am doing and how easy it is, to loose it all.
So I can allmost say, today I am thankful for that accident, but I can also see, how such a accident can bring you to a very dark place of where you cannot get out.

Your former boss seems to need his flying to get out of it at least for some time. I guess there are worse ways to cope with it.
That's seems a bit unfair. It's not about "products" or "advertising", or society being stupid, there has to be communication from researchers to wider society, research has to be allied to education.
> a frontal collision between two tiny cars going at full speed will likely have severe outcomes for the drivers and passengers

Wouldn't the lower mass of the vehicles mean less forceful impact of the crash? Momentum, kinetic energy, impact - everything scales linearly with mass. If that cars weigh half as much they only need to handle half as much impact.

> Of course, it might get worse when they get hit by a faster driving traditional car.

The real problem, as you mentioned, is when they get hit by a bigger car. The same problem we have where regular cars get hit by trucks, or trucks get hit by semis. It's pretty obvious size matters.
My biggest concern about the proposed laws were that the government wanted publisher’s (i.e News Corp’s) approval of future changes to Google and Facebook’s “algorithms” before they went to production...

How on earth did these two companies even agree to meet let alone completely roll over because they’ve now just let News Corp be part of their future CI/CD pipeline approval process?! :mindblown:
I know it's the official reason, but it's also a really bad one - nothing prevents current JSON parsers to add some weird syntactic rules inside plain strings (similar to "use strict" in JS), but you don't see that happen. It's always been a completely hypothetical issue.

The only real reason why comments would be problematic is that they are a pain to preserve in a consistent way when editing a file, and thus would require extra work in parsers / serializers. Still, it would be worth the cost imo.

> From the linux side, dd(1) has blocking/unblocking and EBCDIC/ASCII conversions as well.

dd's built-in EBCDIC/ASCII conversion is terrible. It doesn't use any proper IBM codepage (such as EBCDIC 37 or EBCDIC 1047). It is based on the character set of some random mainframe printer at Bell Labs in the 1970s. As a result, it tends to garble punctuation (especially square brackets).

iconv can do it correctly – provided your copy of iconv has the EBCDIC conversion support compiled-in. Ubuntu's does, macOS' doesn't.

Most 8-bit ASCII codes (e.g. ISO 8859-n, UTF-8) are based on US-ASCII, where the first 128 characters are always at the same locations, including the punctuation marks traditionally used in programming. By contrast, different EBCDIC code pages put those punctuation marks at different locations. Even for US English text, there are two different EBCDIC code pages in common use, with different codes for square brackets, exclamation mark and pipe symbol – IBM 37 is the main traditional US English EBCDIC code page, and IBM 1047 is a variant originally devised for use with POSIX. UK English, and other European languages, add even more.

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPEK_10.0.0/ch... covers some of these details, although it doesn't go into the history behind it.
People say this, but I think they mean that you can go from L3 to L4, or L4 to L5. It is very difficult to come in at L6, and it's even relatively hard to come in at L5, where L3 is new college grad.

Also, if you come back within a certain timeframe, you don't have to re-interview, but you also don't get a bump in level. That timeframe is usually a year or so. I'm not sure if they would even allow you to re-interview if you come back within a year, but I'm not sure of that part.

I should also say that I see this claim a lot, but I am on a hiring committee and I have never seen this happen. I'm sure there are some people for which this works, but I think it's more rare than people know. I also suspect that the vast majority of people are leaving at L3, and coming back at L4. If you are good at doing a Google interview and have some experience, it's not that hard to interview at L4 and get in.

Now what I have seen is someone leaving for two or three years and coming back in at a higher level. But that seems like it is based on the experience they gained outside of Google, not that they were necessarily passed over for promotion while at Google.

Now the promo process at Google is the absolutely worst process for promotion I have ever had to endure, so I'm positive that good engineers are passed over on a regular basis. But this idea you leave and come back in a year to get your promo is more myth than reality.

> when environmental laws first went live in the 60s.

I love our Earth and want to protect it as much as possible, and it's incredibly frustrating that restricting housing construction, globalizing pollution emission so it's out-of-sight-and-mind, and economically wrecking large swaths of middle America are the only things our environmental laws seem to be consistently good at :/
That's an overly simplistic / too-low-resolution analysis. As always, it depends on the specific problem. In the case of self-driving vehicles, regulations are the primary impediment. Some for good reason mind you. But undoubtedly the technology would advance more quickly with fewer regulations on its deployment.

As for the Texas outage, regulations could potentially have prevented, but the question is at what cost.

I honestly don't know why debt for growing companies is vilified. People will literally give you their money.

I feel like efforts like this is just a hamfisted example of preaching to the choir, a feel good bandaid for liberal worshippers at best. I don't see this affecting the minds of people who think a picture of Mohammad is cause to behead people. At the very least, the government should not be spending 30 million Euro on this. It seems more like extortion mixed with appeasement than anything else: please radical Muslims, can't you see your religion is just as respected in our secular society as any of the other religions? Please stop your random acts of heinous violence. Generally speaking, it seems for the most part Jews and Christians are able to worship separately without the threat of violence, without the help of the state. Why is it that only for Islam does society need to go out of its way to show its adherents that hey, we are people that don't deserve to be murdered in cold blood, come worship next to us and we will demonstrate we are just as worthy of life as you? Imagine there was a spate of violence against Muslims in Saudi Arabia or any Muslim majority nation committed by Jews or Christians. Do you think for a second the government there would sponsor a similar building? Why is it so difficult for European nations to draw a line in the sand and say, regardless of your religion, culture, or ethnic background, if you go around lopping off heads because you feel insulted the state will crush you. I feel like Western civilization coddles Muslims in part because they are afraid of being accused of racism but as some point we will need to acknowledge that people who get offended and start waving around scimitars need to be excised from civilized society, not have money wasted on pointless assimilation programs that don't seem to be needed for any other culture except the Islamic ones.

If the mass fraction of batteries on the plane is bounded by some not too large number (I'd guess at most ~30%?), then your range increase will be less than that. Given the increase in complexity, risk and additional hardware neutralizing those changes, I don't think battery ejection (via gliders or anything else) is viable.

Mid-air refueling (e.g. via drones swapping batteries) would be more plausible, but it still seems like a risky and complex operation -- think of turbulence, weather events, remote flight routes, etc. (but maybe it's possible to get it reliable enough).

"Our current recession is not caused by the pandemic, but the lockdown response to it."

I was initially going to post this to refute freddie_mercury, but when I looked at the data it's more suggestive that he's right, and the recession actually is caused by the pandemic.

We can examine this by looking at countries that had no lockdowns and seeing how they did relative to countries that did.

Taiwan had no lockdown, instead relying on incredibly strict quarantine procedures, robust contact-tracing, and being an island. South Korea also had no lockdown, but managed a few surges through very thorough test, trace, & isolate procedures. Those two countries had the smallest economic declines, with Taiwan barely registering a recession at -0.6% and South Korea at -3%:

https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4008495

New Zealand had a very strict lockdown in March and April, a steep recession (-17%), but then eradicated COVID and ended the lockdown. They had a sharp V-shaped recovery (+14%) in Q4:

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/nz-economy-bounces-out-o...

But there's a potential conflating effect: the countries without lockdowns usually lacked them because they didn't have many cases. To remove the conflating effect, we can look at Sweden, which had no lockdown but lots of COVID cases (and more deaths than its neighbors). Sweden had a -8.3% fall in its Q2 GDP. By comparison, Norway (strict lockdown, few cases) had -5.3%, Denmark (strict lockdown, fair number of cases) had -8.5%, and the UK (initially no lockdown but reversed course when they had lots of cases) had -21.7%.

This would seem to indicate that it's the pandemic itself (and resulting societal fear) rather than the lockdown that caused the GDP fall.
