Thank you for answering. I agree that "scientific consensus" is an elusive thing in practice: interpretations change, new data comes in, sometimes it turns out data was held back or falsified. On top of that, what is consensus and what isn't is often distorted in the public view. There is no established quorum process (which is a good thing).

> For instance, the Theory of Gravity. I know people who take it to be a law, even though science itself hasn't moved it into that category. If you dare to suggest that there might be some as-yet-undiscovered mechanism for gravity

There is no scientific consensus on the mechanism that is causing gravity, at least not on the level you suggest. There is consensus on how gravity behaves, in regimes we can currently observe.

The problem with suggesting "some as-yet-undiscovered mechanism" is that you can generate arbitrary many such mechanisms, because there aren't good options yet for experimental corroboration. We all have favorite ideas for how gravity might work behind the scenes, and it absolutely is fun to speculate. But if your goal is to actually make a contribution, your need to come up with an idea that can be falsified.

In my opinion you are completely within your rights to make claims that contradict empirical findings or theoretical frameworks. There often are holes in our knowledge, and continuously re-examining established science is absolutely part of the process. Of course, the burden of proof is on you in that case. But science is absolutely meant to be a living process.

I think scientism relates to beliefs that equate the current state of scientific knowledge with absolute truth and ignoring unknown unknowns and limits of scientific methods like statistics.

A common fallacy is that "absence of evidence is evidence of absence". For a government this might mean "There is no definite scientific evidence that substance X causes cancer, so we do not ban it.".
I fear that the high school degree will become (even more) a marker of the passage of time than one of a minimal level of educational mastery.

Let kids take what they’re interested in and put off what they’re not, so long as they eventually do it. What could possibly go wrong? In university, if you clown your schedule, you just don’t graduate until you sort it out. Are we going to have the backbone to do that to high school kids, especially if we find that wealthy, college-track kids manage the flexibility just fine while other students struggle to get the guidance to help them navigate the flexible schedule? I doubt we would.
Okay, but the studies will still end up in meta-analyses and potentially skew results.
No, because checking that it is exhaustive is required by the language definition.

It's not just not optimized, it's wrong.
I think your argument pretty much boils down to the same as for most GUI vs CLI arguments: parallel vs serial, intuitive vs abstract etc... but it all comes at a cost, less flexibility, less power, more complexity, less combinability (less unixy). Just saying, the argument is the same as for any other GUI version of a particular CLI tool, and so it's inevitable we end up with an opinionated divide, because it's not objectively better in all ways - it depends on your values.

For me the most valued aspect is return on my investment for learning a tool... official git cli porcelain will be around for a _long_ time, it's available almost everywhere, it gives the most power and flexibility, I can combine it with all kinds of things for new problems - Magit (or otherwise) exists in a much narrower context, I know it's probably only a subset of git porcelain to smooth over the staging and committing etc, but I prefer to stay familiar with git cli... Perhaps more critically, I've already mastered 95% of the official git cli porcelain and then some, so I suppose from my perspective my return on investment for using yet another git porcelain feels fairly low, even for the specific case of staging, i've done it so much it's second nature, and I'm generally comfortable with the serial nature of globing files over the CLI.

>So happy I have my grandfathered unlimited Verizon. I know I'll lose that when I move to 5G, based on what I'm seeing.

By "unlimited" you mean an unlimited plan that does not throttle/deprioritize after ~50GB of usage, right?

I pay $23 a month for two Sprint unlimited lines, but both deprioritize after 50GB (although I think I only exceeded 10GB a month once for unusual circumstances, and I hear that in many places deprioritization never happens anyway). On the other hand, there is no obstacle to my purchasing and swapping in a 5G phone on those lines.
Not all science is good. You can publish papers which literally do not allow any valid conclusions to be drawn due to methodological errors. I suspect that's most of them since academics are judged by the number of papers they've published in impactful journals.

Just because science says something doesn't mean it's true. Truth must be verifiable. It's possible to easily and cheaply verify basic physical concepts like gravity. This inspires trust. Professors routinely reproduce physics in classrooms:

https://youtu.be/hezfZ91ayiA

Reproducing some medical experiment is hard, expensive and time consuming. Once a study is published, a huge number of people will simply assume it is true. Very few will actually check the methodology of the study. Virtually none will attempt to reproduce it.
Vaping indoors for any length of time leaves a sticky residue over everything - perhaps either nicotine or propylene glycol residue. Even ignoring the air quality issues for people who didn't sign up for it, it's not completely impact free.

Maybe kebab also creates poor air quality and sticky residues, but in my experience people don't tend to eat kebabs continuously every 5 minutes through the day.

I'm all for e-cigarettes as an almost-certainly-better alternative to real cigarettes (banning vaping but not smoking is ludicrous to me) - but allowing using them indoors does have a real impact on everyone else. Perhaps some are discreet, but the cloud chasing guys ruin it.
"No one knows the rules." What? The US legal system is incredibly strictly codified. It's literally the main draw for foreign investment. If you ask any investor on the planet what the largest difference between the US and China is for investments, it's regulatory risk.

How to View Multiple Apps Side by Side on Same Display
It could be very overwhelming to deal with multiple apps and files at the same time. You shift from one desktop app to the other, make excessive clicks to switch from Outlook email to Photoshop, Chrome to Acrobat Reader, Skype to MS Office files, or Notepad to YouTube, etc. The continuous switching between apps becomes very annoying. The best way to handle all the apps and tasks simultaneously is to open desktop apps’ windows side by side.

My father has COPD from over 50 years of smoking. I convinced him to switch to vaping and he's been using a Juul for a few years now. Awhile after the switch his primary care physician listened to his lungs and said they sounded a lot better. She said she because the science isn't in "I can't tell you to vape but I can tell you to keep doing what you're doing".

Should non-smokers pick up vaping? Probably not. But in this one instance it was a good move for a smoker.

I'd like to see more studies in this area and some more regulations on the "juice" for vapes. The quality, and I assume health effects, vary widely between different juices. For example: I bought him a non-refillable vape by another company and he started coughing and complaining of soreness in his throat.

I also think the arguments against the flavored juices are hysterical/hypocritical given the variety of flavors of liquor one can find.

Disclaimer: I think all drugs should be legal.

> Do you really want to spend that limited bandwidth on your favicon that you might have already sent to the user before, maybe even in the same browsing session?

That's a really going point, but if the site's coming down over classic HTTP then still possibly yes, as separate requests are liable to require additional rounds of cold start. The other detail is that I don't think I've worked with a favicon much exceeding 1500 bytes before.

Another option would be pushing the <link> into the footer, but HTML 5 seems to require <link rel="icon"> only in the header. I wonder if browsers really enforce that.
Machine learning is singularly well-suited for superresolution, because you can trivially downsample and train it on that inverse operation, so training at scale is really easy.

But pleasing hinting—even operating on raster rather than vector sources—can’t be trained in the same way, because it’s inherently more subjective; it may be possible to come up with an alternative approach to training, but I suspect it’ll still be much more prone to inducing significant errors.

And of course, performance in all these things is such that they’re not going to be shipped in browsers; from your link, that model is thousands of times more expensive than the (admittedly-inferior) alternatives. (What’s their disk space like? I’m not familiar with how big such ML models end up.)

Regarding the first link, which (perhaps ironically) I've only skim-read: much of it seems to be attacking bad slideshows, rather than inherent problems with the format.

A slideshow isn't meant to be read in the absence of a speaker giving a presentation. It exists to support the speaker in their presentation. If the intent is to offer a resource which can act as a substitute for attending a presentation, a slideshow is an inappropriate choice.

A good lecture typically makes effective use of a slideshow. Lectures are mostly non-interactive, but this needs no apology, contrary to what the article seems to imply. Perhaps other kinds of presentations should be more interactive, but I don't see that non-interactivity is always a failing.

Similarly, a good slideshow can make effective use of bullet-points. Bullet-points don't always mean you're skipping over important detail, or that you've failed to properly structure the content.

> The Board views the endemic use of PowerPoint briefing slides instead of technical papers as an illustration of the problematic methods of technical communication at NASA

Right. A slideshow is not a substitute for a proper write-up, it's just a presentation aid.

In some contexts you might get away with not doing a formal write-up, but certainly not in a life-and-death context like the one mentioned in the article.

> For serious presentations, it will be useful to replace PowerPoint slides with paper handouts showing words, numbers, data graphics, images together.

I can see that might work well, but I can see this might degrade into just rewriting a technical paper to fit the flow of the presentation. It might make more sense to just say For more detail, see the formal paper. Certainly a slideshow is not a substitute for a proper paper, but even a handout will presumably lose some of what the full paper has to say. If the full information is already there in the paper, why not refer people to it?
That's a convenient way not to engage with the actual arguments - seems like you have been wasting everyone's time. A good day to you as well!
Isn’t the point of the article that they’re collecting data from women in the West?

>For instance, the Theory of Gravity. I know people who take it to be a law,

You mean Newton's Law of gravity [1]?

I'm not sure where you get the idea there are "theories" and "laws" in science and science moves things from one category to the other.

The closest I can find is this distinction: "Scientific theories explain why something happens, whereas scientific law describes what happens." [2]

By this description, laws generally happen first, then theory, because observation makes it clear what happens before we understand why it happens.

In which case law and theory go hand in hand in pretty much every single law and theory I can think of (and the page lists zillions)

There are other language extensions to make the haskell type system undecidable. The classic example is `RankNTypes`

E.g. you can proof that type systems of rank n >= 3 are undecidable. [0]

I think that's why haskell has both Rank2Types and RankNTypes as a language extension. So you can still use higher rank types without running into decidability problems up to rank 2.

Congratulations on your father's change of habit, I hope he continues to recover and has a long life!

That aside, the collective balance is:
- how many cigarette smokers will switch (benefit)

- how many people will start vaping instead of smoking
(benefit)

- how many people will switch from vaping to smoking (harm)

- how many people will start vaping but wouldn't have started smoking (harm)

Perhaps someone with expertise can explain the current state of research. IIRC I saw a study arguing that the beneficial effects were less frequent and vaping as an entry to smoking was shockingly prevalent.

I just feel like when you have a problem like this, where the interests of business and state are aligned (data collection is useful for both), taking a principled stance allows people to marginalize you.

Obviously, people don't like invasive data collection. People don't like wars either. People generally have the kind of common sense that institutions and businesses lack.

My feeling is that you don't win fights like this by making a principled stance, then trying to get the public on board. You do it by finding wedge issues, where the argument is so strong that opposition is very difficult, then using victories there to build momentum for the next fight. That's what the civil rights movement did. That's what you have to do if you're fighting from a weaker position, and I think privacy will always be a weak value in western-style democracies because there are just so many compelling incentives for actors to erode privacy, and the threat of losing privacy is generally abstract, and only felt by already marginalized groups.

> I think most people expect their mail provider to not read their mail, of course compromises are made to filter spam etc.

Machines reading my mail is something I reluctantly accept (For spam it's a good thing, and for ads it's a bad thing).

> But I think it is still important that mails qualify as confidential communication, even with all its limitations. That has been clearly removed by this legislation.

True, but this is also a temporary exemption to legislation that basically lets things go back to how they were just a short while back. And it's how it works everywhere else.

I'm all for codifying confidentiality (there wasn't really a strong protection for it in the past either) and while this certainly isn't a step in the right direction, I think it's important to look at this on two different levels: a) "regular" messaging (mail, emails, text messagges, etc) where people have some understanding that they aren't sending e2e encrypted data but still expect some privacy. For example they are probably fine with phones being tapped if it's after court orders and targeted rather than mass surveillance. And b) secret communications such as Signal where people expect that their e2e encrypted communications are secure and that governments do not break that such as by mandating back doors or banning the use of strong crypto.

This law only applies to a) but all the screaming from the pirate party seems to be about b). The hyperbole is in that nonsensical extrapolation. I'm completely fine with the conclusion that everyone looses all their "a-privacy" here - and I don't like it either. But it's still not the same as the mandating backdoors or banning crypto .

But if by highway he meant Lim Chu Kang road, then it's not just plausible: Lim Chu Kang road is actually used as an extra airstrip.
