Something in hadn't considered was the sans duck hunt.. My fam got NES quite late in 89-90(at least) and indistinctly recall it being bundled with duck hunt. Not sure I have seen a standalone cart.
I think things like that add character to places. I do agree that if I was in the university that's not a hill I would like to die on, especially if people on the opposite side have social justice on their side. I'm glad they didn't destroy it at least.
I was surprised with how this comment turned out. I thought for sure you were saying that emotional maturity would show you how much people project their own emotions upon any given subject of art. Much of your comment could be read on a way that conflicts with your conclusion.

Why not just use the phrase without reducing?
>The system is made out of people.

Yes, and a people system has serious vulnerabilities. Consider marketing, or the impact of a handful of vaccine misinformation bloggers had on a huge segment of the population.

or:

>“. . .it’s the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it’s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it’s a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.”

Those admirable qualities you mention have been not been forgotten by accident. We've been made to forget, because people without them are easier to manipulate.

It's extremely hard to prevent this, because those who perpetrate it have much to gain directly, while those who prevent it do not. Consider any environmental protection law that is costly to a business - if you benefit financially you can put resources/lobbyists/marketing against it, than the volunteers who seek to protect it can. For strictly economic reasons, in the long run, the people lose.

You can't really rely on "people". The vulnerabilities need to be patched.
8 characters of printable ASCII can give you 52.6 bits of security, which is reasonable for many purposes, as explained in more detail in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28103073. Things like TzPb(5>1, #Dalx{NQ, or *^uRup@b. The correct-horse-battery-staple approach gives you more memorable versions of these passwords like "and operation sexual players comfortable", "and tape fleet bell mould", or "AUK HOOD LEAN JOT KID".

The literal constants in this code are not in double precision and the results will not be accurate up to 64bit representation. Also, Fortran compiler optimizations can change the order of computations to generate the result faster. This does not invalidate the final outcome, but not necessarily yield the same result. Fortran has the most precise, exact, and portable method of literal constant specification among all programming languages.
If you deliver it by aircraft, that's about 40000 flights per year (assuming you use Boeing 747-400 or comparable). That sounds like a lot, but right now there are 10000 aircraft in the air, adding 40k flights a year isn't going to throw the numbers off.

The bigger issue is that aerosol delays the "warming" issue, but doesn't stop ocean acidification (in addition to the issue of what happens if we ever stop for whatever reason)
That’s what I thought too. So there seems something more here. So either they did something amazing. Or the suspension was BS. Or something.

It's a problem in any game, chess is just a low barrier for entry to cheat and is easy to hide. Open a new browser tab and off you go, don't make too many perfect moves and pepper your game with decent evaluation but not perfect and it's hard to prove you're cheating.

COVID isn't over by a long shot, we're smack in the middle of it - if we're lucky and this is the half way point -, if we're unlucky this is just the start.

Of course we should do what we can. But if this is far from the worst possible outcome, imagine the relative complexity of scale between a virus jumping species and trying to undo 200 odd years of runaway emissions and the effect on our climate in the next couple of decades and gain some appreciation for the change in scale and intensity of cooperation required to achieve a meaningful difference.

Optimism is a great thing to have, but let's not delude ourselves: humanity is in for a very rough ride, and there is absolutely no indication of how - or even if - we will weather this.

HN is supposedly one of the smarter fora on the net, and yet, every day we are overrun by conspiracy nuts, people have been shouting down the ongoing pandemic since day one - and merrily continue to do so day by day. Forgive me if I'm not all that optimistic about how we are going to deal with something far harder.
neilv's hypothesis is much more likely, you won't win money cheating at chess or online shooter games and those who do cheat usually do so because of character flaws. Can't really compare no-stakes recreational cheating with high stakes pro sports where everyone is trying to cheat in some way or another because of the money / status incentives.
The sales numbers exactly follow my generous assessment. Most of the BEV market worldwide is not Tesla and Tesla's market share is falling. In the last year it has gone from 28% to 23%.

This isn't surprising. It's a direct consequence of other automakers ramping up BEV production and selling more BEVs.
"We have a lot of scientific evidence and a good knowledge of chemical laws and the way that these drugs work that says this is impossible," said Ryan Marino, medical director for toxicology and addiction at University Hospitals in Cleveland.

Try growing a cannabis plant indoors without a pH probe when supplemental nutrients are needed and get back to me. Outdoors is another story but indoor growing has a significant learning curve.
Fully agree. We were having a heated discussion last night about this in my grad student circle. In the end we felt pressure must be put on the big players in the industry, such as Elsevier, to move away from the profit maximization model. It will take a lot of hard work and sacrifice from many in the academia to do so, not just because Elsevier is so big and influential, but also the fact that the stakeholders like the researchers- professors, post-docs and grad students are such a diverse community with very wide range of purpose and motivations. One avenue could be through the authorities in Netherlands and EU where they are based. The other solution would be to remove some anonymity from the peer review process- make the reviewer comments public at the least, to somewhat improve the quality of science that is being generated these days.
More pointily: "correct" is not a formal property of a program, so you can't actually prove it in the first place. Rather you have proved some actual formal properties of the program (eg, always terminates, does not branch dependent on cryptographic secret data, etc[0]), which may, or may not, have any relevance to it's actual intended behviour.

0: Strictly speaking, even those are only English-language descriptions of formal properties, and you still need to worry about whether the formalization actually means what you think it means.

This is the most important problem to be working on right now, and will continue to be until we achieve gigaton scale carbon capture.

That whole hippy sun / nature plant thing appeals to people.

Less sarcastically, there is two types of indoor. Hydro and soil. The hydro based is only grown in water and fertilizer and as a result, has a more chemical taste to it. Since both are fed very specific spectrum lights and even airflow (added co2 is common), they also develop their own characteristics.

Outdoor brings people back to that natural feeling. Of course there is different outdoors too... like container based or just allowed to grow like a tree. Elevation, climate, water, bugs, etc... all play a role.

At this point, strength is all relative... it has been enough years of professional growth that the strains are all super strong and bred for very specific highs.

The botany of weed is fascinating. It grows like a weed, but it is a super complex plant in the things that it requires to grow well.
> Yes, but they are because their power source is unbelievably large and free

Power sources on earth are also plentiful and almost free, compared to building stuff on the moon (at least until we have a lot more infrastructure up there)

Alternate theory: We want to believe the rich and powerful deserve to be rich and powerful.

If they didn't deserve it, that would imply 1) the system is not fair and 2) we can't ever get what they have even if we become deserving.

Thus, we defend their credibility & merits so that we can go on believing in the meritocracy.
This is exactly what happened with moviepass- their success was their downfall as even VC money ain't endless.
'elite dangerous' offers a very rudimentary version of that.
Exactly. It's 1.5 degrees Celsius to heat 5x10^15 tonnes of atmosphere. That's a mind-boggling amount of energy and it has to go somewhere, all that power is available to disrupt our 'normal' weather systems.

The laypersons interpretation of 1.5 degrees change is 'so what, it will be a little bit warmer'. The difference between those two views is very hard to reconcile, simply because of the scale.
I imagine I’d eventually feel like an outcast for being the only one.
Well I mean you do live up to your username but you surely understand that there could be second and higher order effects of such a change in policy and geopolitics? And that these effects could be so great as to overwhelm whatever merits and demerits the first order effects obtain?

Although positive and productive effects may accrue it seems highly unlikely when all things are considered that they would outweigh the negative effects and externalities.

Regardless of any heroic action on climate, the trend will probably continue. I think it's time to stop hoping for "a solution to climate change" and start considering mitigations.

The problems of excess heat, from heatstroke to infernos, can be partially addressed by water management. We know we are already approaching shortages of fresh water. So one big mitigation we could do is a new strategy to conserve and distribute water where it's most needed due to climate change.

I imagine massive engineering projects to identify sources of fresh water and start distributing them over populated areas. The Romans built their aqueducts over hundreds of miles to bring water into their cities. Well, imagine a nation-wide distribution of water. Unless we want to completely abandon formerly-habitable swaths of the planet, we may need to start "plumbing the world" to share what little water remains.

Imagine root-like networks of fresh water that can be activated to tamp down on the spread of fires into cities, or accessed for cool drinking water by anyone who needs it on a hot day. More acquifers to collect and process rainwater. Tighter regulations and enforcement around the dumping of harmful material into waterways. Additional regulations or taxes on excess commercial uses of water. Desalination plants to contribute more water (regardless of cost, it will probably be necessary due to increasing lack of fresh water). Development of new technology to reduce the need for water. And finally, regulations to eliminate wasteful use of water in general (we can't keep watering lawns forever).
Seeing a link like this at the top of HackerNews is deeply disappointing. Regardless of the accusation or the status of a person, everyone deserves due diligence when it comes to attacks on people's character and reputation.

A brief 200-word blurb is gossip, even if she provides links. The fact that she couldn't be bothered to write any more is indicative of how little she cares about whether her criticism is legitimate or not, whether there's important context left out, or whether the statements are supportable by concrete evidence and not just rumor.

We need to take stuff like this more seriously, and not just take the words of some random gossip writer at face value.

You'll need to do better than just stopping emitting, you will have to undo some of the damage to have a chance to get back to equilibrium, all else is just a - relatively short - stay of execution.

The last 200 years has seen humanity reverse a climate trend that held for many millions of years and yet there are still people that believe - strongly - that this is all just coincidence.
Tanking the network for the cost of some supercomputer time seems like a pretty good deal if you view it as an existential threat.

Like many, Rizos believes the climate emergency will only get worse. “We’re ecologists, we love nature in my family and we want to protect the environment, not install air conditioners that will destroy it. But with temperatures of 45C, that’s going to be hard. We have to adapt. For sure, I’ll be replacing pine trees with other trees that don’t burn so easily.”

We need more people thinking like this. I don't know how we get people to take things seriously and act.

It needs to be local. It needs to be wise more than smart. We need more small solutions to push back against the effects of our top-heavy world where money and power and the like often sweep in with no respect for local traditions just because they can.

I don't know how we get there from here. I know it doesn't help to presume it is a foregone conclusion that we can't make a meaningful difference at this point and we are simply doomed.

There are cultures and then their is business culture. Nobody is acting exactly the way they do at home in a business, because in order for a business to work efficiently people have to adapt to the cultural practices that can help a disparate group of people (who are usually not family) work together effectively and efficiently.

So let's talk about the effectiveness and efficacy of screaming. What is the point? To compete for attention? Won't that just lead to louder and louder screaming and the drowning out of voices of people who have the decency not to scream?

To intimidate a coworker or a subordinate?

To express anger?

I can't think of one reason screaming could be beneficial to the workplace, but I can think of many that make it intolerable. Intimidated, stressed subordinates. A culture where the loudest person (not the most competent) gets the most attention. And acceptance of a practice that can easily turn abusive and lead to a toxic workplace.
Also: The rich and famous make for lucarative targets given their appeal and profile. Blowing things out of proportion, bias in reporting, privacy-violating scrutiny, coordinated defamation isn't all that uncommon to have happened to them.
There are also a lot of AI researchers today though. I'm not sure about higher level positions, but for current grad students and postdocs DeepMind is still a very sought after place to work.
Not before it became big. Usually projects start out under some random person GitHub page, and only register domain names later on when it gets traction.
Good luck with that. You can't tell people a life long that their possessions and their future are entwined and then yank that away from them and expect them not to - briefly - be in a state of confusion. It's pretty easy to be all rational from a couple of thousand miles away but these scenes play out over and over again in the face of imminent natural disaster.

Berating those people is not going to solve it, and I suspect as these stories become more common people will give up their possessions more easily once realization sets in that their attempts are futile and only endanger them. But we are not there yet, and in some ways that is fortunate. The time when that sort of feeling becomes more commonplace will be harsh.

Even if it he is unaware of it, it still shows dominance to ask someone to do something outside of the scope of their job. If I asked a coworker to get my coffee, you could say that perhaps I just wanted coffee. But I am also expressing a power dynamic by my expectation that the coworker will do something I can and should damn well do myself.

Applying the general benefits of a whole group of people to individuals applying to jobs is wrong. And doesn't work. Every person has a unique experience.

Also, grouping "cis" in with all that is nonsense. Esp trans women, who seem to think they don't have all the benefits of being male. (Because biology is, in fact, real)
It ends up being worse than that once you plug in general relativity. You're only using special relativity, but that doesn't hold when acceleration is involved (as would be required to go from 0 to 0.99999999c).
