The shoe scanning is an extension of that, based off of the real threat that someone will pack shoes with explosives. The only reason it didn't work the last time it was tried was that the bomber stayed in their seat as opposed to e.g. using the toilet.

They teach you this in the course you need to take to concealed carry.

If someone is doing massive damage...cornered people in a restaurant and is shooting them one by one. Someone can respond to that. Youre going to hear it and see it. Not every scenario is going to play out perfectly but at least theres mitigation on the table.
I think the most sensible use of SRM is to head off positive feedbacks. With increasing temperature, the planet starts emitting greenhouse gases on its own, from permafrost melt, forest fires, etc. We can see it in the geological record, where orbital variations cause a modest initial warming, then CO2 increases a lot and warms the planet several degrees more.

SRM could help prevent that by directly lowering temperature, which means less CO2 released and less ocean acidification. And it buys us time to decarbonize before things all fall apart.
The best way to load a dishwasher is to get a Miele. (At least the US models, I can't speak for other countries.)

For Reasons, I've dealt with six dishwashers over the last decade. This one actually works. Anything that goes in and isn't ludicrously dirty or positioned just gets clean. It's wonderful not caring about top rack vs bottom rack or prewash or starting the hot water early or....

It just gets dishes clean.

There are plenty of radicalized people, but valuing your life so little that you'll risk it for the cause and having a cause that wants you to kill random civilians is not very common.
the global picture of access to COVID-19 vaccines is unacceptable. Only 20% of people in low- and lower-middle-income countries have received a first dose of vaccine compared to 80% in high- and upper-middle income countries.

In the critical months during which COVAX was created, signed on participants, pooled demand, and raised enough money to make advance purchases of vaccines, much of the early global supply had already been bought by wealthy nations. Today, COVAX’s ability to protect the most vulnerable people in the world continues to be hampered by export bans, the prioritisation of bilateral deals by manufacturers and countries, ongoing challenges in scaling up production by some key producers, and delays in filing for regulatory approval.

No mention of patents or limitations of capital and supplies reducing the ability of lower-income countries to directly produce vaccine themselves, where that ability exists. Given much pharmaceutical production is outsourced, that ability does exist to a substantial degree.
Please show me which laws Uber and Airbnb have changed. If anything, those companies have trended towards existing regs.

File sharing creating an entire industry of copyright enforcement, far from whatever you’re suggesting.

Internet pornography ending obscenity laws? What in the hell are you on about? Those laws changed before the Internet and not because of technology.

Drug laws have changed for no reason other than the fact that society has become more socially liberal.

You are conflating the fact that society is changing at the same time tech is advancing (btw - both have been occurring for millennia simultaneously).
This could only happen if we've got some local apps beyond the main (terminal) app. PF-timeframe, as you say. I will write the idea down so it doesn't get lost.

It probably makes sense as a toggle, perhaps selected when initially setting up/getting a software tour of the device, depending on who is using the system. Writers for example, would want it, sysadmins, not so much.
What made the DC sniper attacks so terrifying was that there was no commonality to the targets, except that it was normal people doing normal everyday things. There's nothing you can do to protect yourself from the sniper except to not go outside (which is in fact what a lot of people did in response to the sniper).

> Basic combat training and paramedic abilities, disaster recovery and such associated procedures.

... Military training teaches none of those, so far as I'm aware, except maybe the first. But even then, you're getting training on a rifle, which is not the most likely firearm a civilian would be carrying.
In Greece I would sometimes encounter packs of aggressive dogs roaming the streets. If you bend down and reach for the ground like you're about to pick up a stone then they disperse immediately. There doesn't even need to be a stone there.

I've not had the chance to try it with a tiger but if it works with them too then I'm afraid you won't fetch much for your stone.
Wow... A single HN reader gets it ;P
Hah, easier. Well into a sci-fi meta-comment here. Think of how self-similarity emerges as a property of systems of energy and 'information,' and then consider what popping out and traversing pools of those self-similar equillibria might look like. The universe doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. While it won't make a difference, think of time as a fractal dimension of space (it's all there for 3D, in your constant, pi), where creating turbulence on the space 'side' can let you traverse and hop between islands in these self similar pools of 'time.' We can encode and transmit DNA across these pools using quantum computation ahead of ourselves, and by the time we arrive physically, the civilization is mostly baked and ready to join us. I happen to occupy this body to help prime this civ for the arrival and quick sort. You've got the moral criteria for working with others, and everything you need. As your people say, "Don't Panic."

Anyway, be kind, this next part is always a hard one.
Climate economics is terrible, climate policy should ignore nearly all of it.

The leaders of climate economics have been so deeply wrong in their analyses, and are usually motivated far more by political ideology than trying to understand the mechanics of the economy. The field is built on treating the aerodynamics of finely tuned fighter jets with the math of spherical cows.

We need better industrial policy, investment in proven technology, and investment in new technology, but economists have little to say about this transition that is useful.
Well it all depends on how much it costs. If the buying price is reduced enough, an additional subscription may be interesting. It’s similar to leasing your car instead of buying, which a lot of people do.

What if they don't want to be de-escalated?
You’re vastly overrating the ability of the common American to make rational decisions. In a stressful situation where a gun may be necessary, without proper and continual training, that ability drops to near 0. Look at the police - they use their guns incorrectly all the time and they’re trained peace officers. An average American, in an argument, maybe mix in some alcohol, with a gun in their pocket…many many senseless murders.
Interesting idea. I intentionally do the opposite because spoons stick to each other.

Plenty of people are harassed by DEA, customs or immigration on Amtrak trains. They don't seem too concerned with terrorism or souls, though.
Where are you going to post your retraction when it is just temporary?
We are way past temporary here. Australia is not as far along in vaccinations as other countries, but at this point the most vulnerable have had ample chance to be vaccinated. The virus can't be eradicated, will continue to mutate, and herd immunity by vaccination alone is not likely. At some point, Australia, New Zealand and China will need to join the rest of the world in the new normal, unless they want to become virtual prison states.
Well, when something is presented as innovative, while it's really not (given the context of "browser space"), and you say so, how is it pedantry? There was an overenthusiastic false statement, and I responded to it accordingly, that's all.

This is actually a great example:

- You held me accountable

- Others can read our exchange and adjust their trust (in me in particular)

That's a good outcome, I guess!
Not every person is going to carry a gun. And you need to be trained. Thats a requirement to concealed carry today.

I might be slightly old/senile/dumb but what problem does this solve? If the dishwasher contains dirty dishes, it's dirty and if not, it's not. Why would you need another signal to tell if it's dirty or not?

Or I grandly miss the point here, sorry if so.
> Obviously this doesnt work for a plane though.

I was thinking it absolutely does, unless everyone from more than 3ft away starts shooting.

Doubly so if we're talking knives or other sidearms.

Sikh logic, wildly underrated.
Agreed--and added! Thank you!
>> Considering how many crazy, extremely radicalized people are out there, I'm surprised attacks like this aren't much more common.

They are extremely common, except the main stream "liberal" media's definition of "radicalized" and "attack" doesnt include the most common incidents. If "radicalized" means brown, yes, it isnt common.

If "radicalized" could be expanded to literally hundreds of incidents of ethno-religious-nationalist crazies who kill with guns -- it is actually really common in the US. Except whenever this happens, people instead just talk about how perps were "deeply disturbed" and needed help, rather than classifying it as "attack" or "terror"

Some years ago I wrote a conference paper [0] pointing to the clear difference in security screening for a flight from Lyon to Paris, and the same journey taken by TGV. The train would have more people on board but no screening of passengers, and only a friendly warning that you had to have a ticket to ride the train (in practice, you could buy one on the way or not buy one at all if you got lucky). The ticket could be bought from a machine or counter without ever showing an ID, and anyone could load baggage onto the train even without later boarding. It seemed to me to be an obvious target for a terrorist who wanted to cause some havoc in the French transport sector, and a compelling one now that the flights were so locked down and difficult to board with ill intentions.

I've heard this phenomenon being called a "purity spiral".

It makes sense intuitively - nothing productive is really being done when a group just engages in ever-escalating virtue signalling.

But since I'm not an expert, is there more material about this that one can access? Would love to read/hear someone who studies this.
Remember back in the day when the one good thing about the airport security line was not having anyone use it as a stick for the hard sell?
> And of course everybody ignores trains, they don't even look at you...like the 300 souls aboard a train don't matter.

In trains with a separate locomotive, passengers cannot even get to the driver compartment. In any electrified rail scenario, a runaway/commandeered train can be stopped by removing the power supply and then diverting the train onto catch points. Not to mention that running a red light triggers an automated immediate brake in many rail systems.

Of course, breaking into a parked locomotive, starting it and overriding the safety systems (deadman switch, red light detector) is possible, but it requires a lot of training you won't find online, and without the cooperation of someone at the control center all you're going to do is to derail the engine (as usually, there is a catch point switch at the entry of every branch onto the main track, that is by default pointing to the catch point).

> Also the 10000+ souls at the departing and arrival train station also don't matter.

Agreed, but bomb/poison threat is a risk at every large building.

> Not to mention the 4000 souls aboard cruise ships.

It's incredibly difficult to pull off a fatal attack using a commandeered (cruise) ship as a weapon - wannabe pirates would need to control the entire bridge and the machine room as well as any auxiliary control points (e.g. for guides) that allow a remote shutdown of the engines. And even assuming attackers do gain control of a ship... a ship is slow, and cost guard will intervene if they notice you on a dangerous collision course.
I find it strange that Bosch doesn't put grinders in their dishwashers, they certainly do have a good reputation. Why don't they?

I happen to be looking for a dishwasher now. Mine is having problems after 8 years (it's from IKEA, probably a rebranded Whirlpool). It has a grinder, but it the upper deck is no longer getting clean because the upper spinnning thing is no longer spinning and flinging water, I think. Also the plastic bits and gasket are starting to deteriorate.

Any recs for a good dishwasher? I'm looking for something that will last 10+ years.
> It doesn't meet the requirements of a good currency

Aaand you just moved the goal posts. Notice how you switched your argument from "currency" to "good currency". So dishonest.
Among what populations is it near universal? I grew up in an upper-middle class bedroom community, and I only had to get first aid certified in order to be a lifeguard at a local pool. That was just about a decade ago, and I’d be hard-pressed to do anything other than apply a cold compress and perform the Heinrich maneuver now. My father-in-law was a trained physician overseas but became a pharmaceutical researcher when he came to the US, and the last time he was in a situation where he had to perform CPR, he had no idea what to do. I doubt more than 20% of American adults would be useful in a serious casualty situation.
It doesn't take 'most' passengers to overpower some people. All it takes is one hero to move and others will pile on, just one person to break the bystander effect. This is scientifically proven with crowd modelling.
Right, the article could have just done this, and compare IBM clould vs Amazon / Google / Azure for equivalently powered instances.

If what the article says is true, then for a similar workload, then IBM could instances ought to be much cheaper than the competition.

I only have experience with GCN, but to me it looks like GCN is much cheaper then IBM cloud, so something must be extremely off in the calculations done in the article.
>The world just watched three billionaires make fools of themselves to establish space tourism

At most two, surely - Branson and Bezos were rushing to get themselves (in their own untested launch systems) up to the Karman line and drop back down again. Although arguably only Bezos made a fool of himself by acting butt-hurt about flying after Branson.

By contrast, Musk is launching paying customers into orbit on a proven rocket system that launches NASA astronauts to the ISS, same as Soyuz. If somebody's willing to pay for the launch and risk their lives, why wouldn't you let them?

>and I'm sure Russia noticed

Space tourism is hardly anything new for Russia - as far as I know, all space tourists who've flown to orbit so far have done so on Soyuz.

I'm more upset that Roscosmos, in their rush to fly the film set to the ISS, endangered the station.
I use those names as well, at least now that I entirely use ZoL. That wasn't an option back in the day with OpenSolaris and Illumos. You'd be using names like c0t0d0 instead, and woe to you if it found the wrong disks in the wrong places (it would just refuse to import claiming the pool was faulted).

Caveat: things may have changed since then - it was at least six years ago.
I have never heard of any life-threatening allergic reaction to any drug or bomb sniffing dog. Has that actually happened? If so...how, when, and where?
It is not always obvious whether the dishes are dirty, especially if you are in a household that does some amount of rinsing of dishes (or if you had a meal that didn't have a lot of color to it).
> If you are in a field with so called "peer reviewed research" and someone can publish complete made up bullshit, then your entire field of study is garbage.

The problem is, that's simply not what's happening. Boghossian isn't getting published in any large or reputable journals. He's getting articles published in tiny obscure open access journals. His paper has repeatedly, consistently failed peer review in academic journals.

If I published a logically incorrect math proof in some obscure journal no one has ever heard of, I haven't "disproved math." To claim I did so would be deeply dishonest.
When you import all your new transactions are presented. You can click (or ctrl-click to choose several) and match them to an account of your choosing.

It also memorises what transactions go into what category, so after you categorise, say "PURCHASE LIDL" as Expenses.Groceries, it will automatically match future transactions with the same name to groceries as well.
In true capitalist fashion, you can pay to skip the line, just like at Disney.
There are some relevant architectural differences that explain that. Most fundamental is that the Z CPUs can run continuously at 5.2GHz. Another difference is that these CPUs are assisted by a multitude of smart IO devices, each its own computer, that offload almost everything but application code off the CPUs. They also have humongous caches and will not wait for main memory as often as x86's.
How are you dealing with weaponised flags?

It’s funny how you Americans intellectually masturbate so much about putting in place extreme measures like this to stop terrorist when in reality you’re 10000x more likely to die in traffic. However, implementation traffic calming, lower speed limits, and better public transit to reduce the need for and over all level of risk of personal vehicles, is almost never proposed by your type even though it would save far far more lives.

But I guess actually being effective isn’t as masculine sounding as ‘everyone learn to shoot guns!’ Lol

For a good example of how to make the public safe in a real, non delusional way, look at the infrastructure of the Netherlands, and compare road fatalities to the US.
> . "I thought we were rational people in a free society

There is no polity in the world in which "rational people" drove covid policy (or individual behavior) to any significant degree. Whether we're talking about Florida's low restrictions and high cases or the Bay Area's converse outcome, the best you can hope for is that the masses, through their blind superstition and social signaling, ended up somewhere close to the policy/behavior landscape that you think is optimal.
This is still my favorite reddit mode! It does seem to hide posts if you click the link, which is super annoying.

I don't smoke weed. What was your point?
I wonder. Minecraft and arduino happened close enough together in time that they could be said to have captured aspects of the same social mood. They haven't died back but they stopped boiling so fast once that mood changed.

I'm close to saying "creativity was less frowned on, breifly" as the Ur-source of that mood, but then that gets into requiring a lot more explaining than I care to do.

Also, presumably you're fine with vinegar, but for anyone else who prefers less fragrant cleaners, citric acid (usually available as a powder) can almost always be substituted for vinegar with comparable to better results.
> The parallels between COVID and our post-9/11 reaction are eerie.

I don't see the same parallels. After 9/11 the US was extraordinarily united and committed to vengeance. Thousands joined the military. After COVID we're more divided than ever and people are not even willing put a piece of cloth on their faces. Widespread denial and resistance to anything inconveniencing them. Whereas after 9/11 people were willing to put up with 3+ hour wait times and tons of other restrictions.
