> Locking computers while away in a locked office is like using PRs on a high trust team.

In our office it is encouraged because we work on projects for multiple different clients. In some cases competing clients and we are required to partition the knowledge internally. Even if it isn't quite that serious we try to keep detailed information about the project inside the project team.
Ha on pulling the rhetorical trick of "when did you stop hitting your spouse?"

There are many things employers do that employees dislike. Not all all of them are abuse. A union will attempt to remove the dislikes, abusive or not. The removal of non-abusive dislikes will limit the employer's competitiveness. In the absence of genuine abuses, say after an effective union is instated and when all abuses have been removed, a non-union shop is therefore at a competitive advantage in the market place over a union shop. The union overhead becomes purely frictional and it never goes away.

To add to that, what Tesla apparently calls structural battery means integrating the battery enclosure into the chassis, whereas this research means integrating the battery chemistry itself.
It's funny how serious twitter and facebook has become even for governments. In my location, highest order politicians use it as a channel to provide important declarations/news and the media cites those in serious tone. Shouldn't governments use their own web sites and services for all official communication?
Why did you cut out the "and that's ok" part from the title?
Slightly off topic, but I was listening to a piece of music[0] yesterday which starts with a sample of someone saying "I knew these people. These two people." followed by another voice repeating this, over and over, becoming increasingly manic towards end. And today I read this story, and find that "I knew these people. These two people." is from the film "Paris, Texas". Odd co-incidence, although I'm sure there's a perfectly rational explanation involving probability and so on, rather than any deeper significance.

It "works" but it is a mess. Large chunks of the spectrum require some combination of radar detection and power reduction, and if you live near a radar station you basically cannot use 160mhz wifi.

I will also add that 60ghz works great, but it will not penetrate walls. I have found it penetrates my doors and thus makes a great replacement for 2.4ghz/5ghz mesh networking in my apartment, but not much else.

This. The OP is fighting a straw man. The argument opposed is a critic of the system, not a broad attack on individuals.
If your fender bender short-circuited your battery and ignited it, you might need a wee bit more than just a new chassis.

(This is not a claim that the batteries described in the article are a fire hazard - I don't know)
congrats! And finally Corba is being reinvented!
I'm wondering if these batteries will maintain their capacity over time. I think part of the appeal of traditional battery packs is you can replace them as they wear out and hold less charge. If they do degrade, hopefully a chassis/ battery replacement won't be too expensive.
Just from a debate that is almost similar in nature. One person posed a question: would you leave a high-paying job that is in a toxic workplace?

Not so many were in the affirmative. Someone even added that they would rather stick with it and remedy this with therapy later on.
I feel like the author is really missing the point of this criticism. It's probably fine on an individual basis to work for (most) adtech companies like google. What sucks is the overall system which incentivizes the creation of arguably dangerous products and behaviours, even if by chance some of that money spills over into being spent on better causes.

Or even as a supplement to a conventional battery - being able to squeeze in 10% more energy capacity without expanding the battery could be a way to incrementally improve range. And also possibly provide a small backup power source in case of main battery failure.
Yes perhaps, but the fact is that it's the bitcoin network that secures the majority of the money tied into crypto. It's going to play this role regardless of the technical drawbacks unfortunately. I'm not a bitcoin "maximalist" - I don't even hold any, but it's hard to deny the role it plays in propping up all of crypto.

It's particularly normal for them to find issues that were let by at a prior point, as some reviewers are more lenient than others.
But once they find something, you're stuck with it.

If those bugfixes are important, you can also ask for them to let it through, and postpone dealing with the login issue until the next release. They'll do this for bugfix-only releases.

You can also keep appealing if you believe you're right, it'll eventually escalate.
A century ago, any reasonably intelligent and diligent person could join the business world as a "clerk," organizing and arranging information in support of business operations. There was a vast workforce of clerks. They probably made decent money. Nobody lamented the loss of the best minds of their generation.
science is still great. "scientific consensus" has taken over in many places where people used to mean "scientific method"; and thats not great but still fits into "believe the science" for the people putting logos on signs.

Science doesn't care what we believe.
The big chunk around 5ghz is more restricted e.g. DFS/TPC requirements. Using 160mhz channels is impossible in my NYC area apartment because of those restrictions.
The article was not at all what I expected!

I agree that it's hard to gauge the usefulness of applying the best minds to do banal work. After all that the work of making people click on ads is what allowed Google to benefit the world with stuff like Google Maps. But it also created a monopoly: for every Google Maps, there's a Waze left in its wake.

What's truly disheartening about this mercenary culture is not that one can't predict the usefulness of making people click on ads, but that there are so many other tasks which are patently more useful - but whose sponsors have drastically smaller pockets than a FAANG. I'm not talking about lofty projects, like curing cancer and flying to Mars. I'm talking about banal stuff that, at some point of another, affects everyone's. Like trying to navigate a government's website.
My concern with structural batteries is that if your battery wears out (like all batteries before) then you not only need a battery replacement but also a replacement of your cars subframe or underbody. I think this would lead to cars being even more disposable.

It’s funny how we seem to be going meta on ads, and I think it could be good to refocus attention on things that produce better value.

Ads are powerful, but I think they maximize on value to the seller at the expense of the buyer.

Many of the big problems we’ve had have a lot of responsibility on ads, I think: cigarettes, opioids, political action committees, mass consumerism in general, sugar/diabetes, pharmaceutical prices, etc etc.

I think many of these crises are made possible or at least worse through ads that change people’s perception to move them toward more negative behavior. I think this is like the urban legend of hypnosis in that you can’t make people do what they don’t want to, but you can shift just a few percent and that still makes tons of money.

Drinking cokes every day, eating fast food every day, “talking to your doctor about Foo drug,” the list goes on and on. People like doing this stuff so making them do more by showing ads is just a function of ad spend.
There's a quote, which I absolutely can't find the source for, it's something like geniuses are toiling away in factories.

> That is, they are building software for their own personal amusement or financial gain instead of working for the benefit of us all.

Writing software for their own personal amusement or financial gain is perfectly acceptable. Advertising is perfectly acceptable. The part of that crosses the line is "thinking how to make people click ads" since it violates people's autonomy. It is used to rationalise crossing other ethical boundaries ranging from respecting people's desire for privacy to outright psychological manipulation.

Interesting reasoning. But isn't it true to say that the "complex existing machinery and parts" which interprets the DNA was itself put together from instructions found in other DNA? I suppose that metaphors are rarely entirely comparable.
Any group/person/movement with any agenda other than promoting science and reason must necessarily be against science and reason at points. Any “agendaism” must be prepared to attack science and reason as well as proponents of science and reason. I’m not suggesting other agendas aren’t important. Rather that they can incur a science-debt, and don’t typically have the motivation to pay it off.

Edit: I should be clear that I’m speaking about the scientific process: admit you may not have full understandings, devise experiments to test/expand understanding, execute, interpret, repeat.

> You are looking for sources that will predict the future with accuracy?

No, I was looking for sources that would talk about the "certainty" of invasion by China (in a large enough interval, from let's say tomorrow to 10-20 years into the future), like I said, about 10 years ago that was not the official discourse.

"Predicting the future" would be to ask for a specific date/time interval for that supposed invasion, which I did not ask for because that would have been a reasonably difficult task to predict, I concur.
I’m not sure it’s even true that cheating is less prevalent at top universities. It’s probably not something we can know in practice. Anecdotally I saw a fair amount. You could make the argument that people are more likely to cheat to even get in to top schools, resulting in more cheaters ending up there. Who knows.
Free? Hardly. Nobody is free to do anything medical. You need to comply with a whole suite of regulations put there for patient safety.

DeepMind was never a business (and never will be), it's an AI R&D toy for a trillion dollar tech company. It was always going to end up in the belly of a larger tech company, and the US has all the dominant tech companies outside of China.

Besides, it's fair game. The US had one of the two global leaders in AgTech in Monsanto, which was captured by the Germans. That repeatedly happens in biotech as a prominent example, most of the European biotech industry was built up on the back of acquiring US biotech companies.

Even ARM Holdings was originated heavily by US companies. There is hardly a piece of the global tech market that wasn't directly financed or made possible by the US tech industry and its mountain of profits and VC money, from SoftBank to China's tech companies to Shopify or Atlassian.
The irony here is that this article is published by Scientific American, who themselves have abandoned science on topics that relate to ideological issues.
My thoughts exactly. Load bearing structures tend to be permanent or not frequently changed (on the order of decades). Now someone wants to place a battery in that structure?

I hope they develop a mechanism that allows exchange of the battery and can bear load without the battery with some sort of mechanical movement that can shift the load to a more permanent structure (not that this is necessarily a good idea either but proposing an option). Or, perhaps the battery never needs changed, and by that I mean the life of the product lasts as long as it would with a replaceable battery. They can't just redefine the life of the product as the life of the battery to get around this (unless the life if the product was already defined by the life of the battery for a long time before).

There is plenty of antiscience on the left (chemtrails, 5g, anti-vax).

But critical race theory is a deliberately extreme academic model of the world, and it actually turns out to be a useful model. To complain that it is not a falsifiable model misses the point of what literary "theory" is for.

Your post smells like a bad faith dogwhistle, rather than an attempt to discuss something.
Lysenko was scientist with stellar credibility, he was wrong, but that happens in science. Main problem was not "anti science", but turning science into religion. Unproven theories were implemented too fast, without enough tests and verifications.
You make perfectly reasonable points in your second and third paragraph but the name doesn't seem like something to take quite so personally. From a scan of the paper it makes sense as a name and only seems like it would be offensive if one were actively seeking to be offended.

Certainly, though it was mostly ignored by major political parties in those days.

And WRT EamonnMR's point, while the article invokes 'antiscience' as a movement, its author is clearly only interested in medical science. Personally, I'm not convinced that there is a unitary, consolidated anti-science movement, though it might be developing.
By this line of thinking, any file type is specified, because the specification of a file is a sequence of bytes.

The article doesn’t claim that only those who lean right deny science. It claims only the right has embraced science-denial as a major political platform. There are plenty of science-denying democrats. There aren’t many (to my knowledge) science-denying policies, platforms, or official talking points of the democratic party. The same cannot be said of the GOP.
Even if they only advertise their own products, they will probably become interested in conversion rates and customer segmentation at some point. Or they want to advertise on other sites as well. One way to do this, would be to include trackers from ad-networks, such as Merkle M1, in the admin dashboard.
The real joke is, that advertisement costs are ultimately paid by the consumer.
I think you're talking about certain subjects being more prevalent in left- or right-wing communities.

That's different from making opposition to science a political priority. Yeah, there's kooks on the left who go for healing crystals–but that's not incorporated into left politics. On the other hand, elected Republicans have actively fought in the political arena against climate issues being taken seriously.

This shows up in other areas, too, such as the Dickey Amendment that discouraged CDC research re: guns as a public health matter.
