There is data to go by that supports that these systems are highly dynamic and human activity around them do feed back into the system irreversibly effecting them. There is a hot spring 10km from where I lived called Gunnuhver. It was a tiny little mud pool that steamed a little, but it was fun watching the mud boil. In 2006 they raised a giant (and really ugly) power plant close by. Now the mud pool is unrecognizable from before. It is massive, it is hard to see the mud under the amount of steam it releases. It is a common believe that the geothermal power plant is the direct contributor to this change.

However there are ways to mitigate the uncertainty. You can start small, observe, and if still stable, expand. I believe that is how most new geothermal plants are done today in Iceland.
I don't think you have a complete understanding of the larger opposing point of view that you think you do. What you're regurgitating is a media enhanced narrative. You are upset with a caricature.
Is this your assumption or you are doing this to your kids? My kids had remote schools, but they also went and met with their friends (albeit a smaller group than usual). Most of the parents took enough precaution and given the age group, we were all comfortable with kids being with each other.

Helicopter parenting is not related to the top level comment at all.

Unfortunately a merit based system is the opposite of what we are moving towards in the United States, where the only metric that matters is the distribution of people based on their skin tone.
Controversial or outrageous content is likely to generate way more "engagement" (as people fight over it and call each other names in the comments) than normal, unobjectionable content. Social networks thrive thanks to this.
Yeah, that's the baseline drift I mentioned. The whole line kinda flows on a wavy baseline, like a human does.

It doesn't look like it on the video because we're talking a few millimeters or less. But when you stand back from it you see that the baselines aren't exactly straight.
>This trope has to die.

It's not a trope. It's just time has moved on.

> The government landed on the moon and drove around it 50 years ago.

Yes, this was amazing. And then gov't got bored and cut the funding. Back then, there was no private money large enough to do this without gov't funding. Now, the economy has gotten to where it is that private individuals have more worth than some nation states.

The Gemini, Mercury, Apollo missions paved the way. Now, private companies are picking up where gov't stopped. Robots are fine for first missions.

>The greatest explorers in the history of humanity, with nobody else within an order of magnitude, are a US government agency, NASA.

That's great, but there's more that could be done. Robots are great first expeditions, but what would have happened if the great explorers of old only sent drones but no people followed? There would be no NASA.
Well we haven’t bombed Haiti, so this makes a kind of sense
Likely anecdotal, but I recall doing a bad behavior (throwing another kids binder over the school fence), that absolutely mortified me in second grade.

Another one was me kicking an exit door of a school when a friend was deliberately holding the exit door closed.

Looking back, the punishments felt arbitrary based on some random factor that I didn’t understand as a kid. Throwing a binder meant monetary compensation (described by the principal). Kicking the door didn’t have a definitive reason, but I assumed general “rambunctiousness” was to blame.

Maybe I’m passing the buck here, but I didn’t completely understand the result of my actions, and felt, as an adult, was an obvious opportunity to teach a kid something enlightening but instead just got passed to my parents who were happy to punish me without context. I’m 38

If distribution is done like bit torrent then the users pay for it - the cost is then distributed and very low.

There needs to be some kind of peer to peer rating system so you can find content suited to you (reinforce your bubble I suppose) because there is going to be no central filtering authority, but that's part of the point.

In the paper, the treaty if forever. But once there is a clear economical or military reason to have a non scientific base there, the treaty will melt in no time.

Imagine that all the nuclear powers (China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States, India, North Korea, Pakistan, Israel?, Japan??, South Africa???) decide to split the Antarctica in equally sized pieces. (Perhaps replace North Korea with Germany.) What are the other countries going to do? [Hi from Argentina!] Invade the Antarctica? Launch a conventional war? Blockade Antarctica? An economical blockade of the nuclear powers? Make a very long speech in the UN so the nuclear powers get so bored that decide to return to the previous status?

> At least understand that when someone is literally putting themselves in danger, they're not evil or selfish, they're delusional and misinformed.

I think you'll find most "liberals" are pretty understanding that militant anti-vaxxers are delusional and misinformed. The issue is less with their delusion and more with the militancy of their delusion and the societal consequences.

If the militant anti-vaxxers instead of being anti-vax were just pro-drinking bleach then the danger of that delusion would be personal. Only idiots drinking bleach would be harmed.

What's happening though is the delusion of the militant anti-vaxxers is causing problems for everyone. They're breaking if they haven't broken hospital systems in many parts of the country, they're a breeding ground for new variants of the virus, and they're actively fighting mitigation measures to contain the spread of the virus in kids who can't be vaccinated.

People that have acted rationally and have socially distanced, worn masks, and gotten vaccinated are being negatively affected every day by delusional sociopaths. These same delusional sociopaths have made every aspect of the pandemic worse.

Why should anyone feel the need to keep coddling them? The militant anti-vaxxers are keeping the pandemic a pandemic, had they gotten fucking vaccines we could have COVID at least partially under control at endemic levels. Their words and actions advertise the fact they are sociopaths. Dealing with them is exhausting and unrewarding.

It's sad that positions on vaccines tracks so closely to political persuasion. At the same time if delusional sociopathy is part and parcel of a so-called political philosophy maybe that suggests a little self-reflection is needed for its proponents.

Yikes. Imagine being the drone operator. You probably develop a certain mental wall against the people you're targeting and it's possible you can rationalize "just following orders", but you'd have to try pretty hard to avoid the news these days with the pictures of the little kids that were blown up in that strike. It's literally heartbreaking to look at their photos. Equally horrible is that it seems like there's no rush to find any accountability at any level for what happened here.
So we're getting the "real communism has never been tried" trope here on HN?

Ok, so now what if the machine is 100% accurate?
The simplest explanation is that they didn't report it because they thought they could contain it; and why embarrass yourself when you believe that you can avoid that?

It might not even be something initially decided by those on top. Just as likely that the lab management decided to sweep it under the rug to avoid damage to their reputation, and then by the time it blew up, the higher-ups couldn't admit to being ignorant without damage to their reputation; and so on, all the way to the top. It happens all the time in bureaucracies.

Predicting Covid deaths based on vaccination rates with neural networks
Tynan Sylvester (creator of Rimworld, and author of "Designing Games: A Guide to Engineering Experiences") has some great thoughts on this in the early part of his GDC talk on building a 'story generator' rather than a game. He talks about 'apophenia' - the propensity of players to ascribe narrative meaning to events - and the way in Rimworld they strive to create simulation systems that facilitate that kind of player-provided narrative reasoning.

In my case, I am a high school dropout with a GED, and a bit of tech school. I've looked up a lot of noses, during my career.

I've never hidden the fact, but also never made a big deal of it (until now, because I am no longer looking for work). I don't mind saying it, because it may help folks that are struggling, to power through the bad times, and help folks who want to hate me, to have something to latch onto (you're welcome).

If you don't have educational cred, people treat you like garbage. I can understand why folks would do the "stolen valor" thing. I also think it's idiotic. You'll get called on your BS, sooner or later. Even if you never do, you’ll spend your whole life, looking over your shoulder.

I’ve never claimed qualifications that I can’t back up, but I also have a great deal of very real material, available to peruse[0]. The fact that almost no one ever actually looks at it, tells me that it’s fairly easy to slide by, on BS. I’m an awful liar, so it’s important that I have something to show. It’s funny, when people actually start looking at my work, I get very surprised reactions. They just assumed I was idly boasting. That sort of makes me sad. I feel like Integrity and personal Honor are anachronistic.

In my case, I'm smarter than the average bear. I've also got a real knee-jerk reaction to being bullied and challenged. It helped me to power through the shitstorms. The best way to get me to do good work, is tell me that I'm not worthy. I'll master the job, just to shove it down your gob. I feel that all the adversity helped me to be a top-shelf engineer. I could never convince anyone before the fact. I had to present people with fait accompli; which also means that I’ve had a lot of my work shitcanned. That which does not kill you, leaves you weak and exhausted, or something…

I'm not 100% sure what the answer is. Maybe if education could partner more with vocation. I'm not bitter for not getting a chance at an Ivy-League school, like my older siblings (I actually did quite well, despite); but I know that my path would have been a lot smoother, with the sheepskin. I credit the redneck tech school that I attended for teaching me some serious work ethic, and that was probably the best education I had.

Almost everything I have learned in my career has been since leaving school (and it's still going on, now).

Nah, I've talked to enough of these types to know the information and reasoning they're relying on. One of my personal quirks is a lifelong fascination with crackpots.

And for what it's worth, I have some heterodox opinions on certain COVID-related topics. For example the case against ivermectin has been greatly overstated, although there is still room for reasonable doubt about its efficacy.

Not everyone with a streak of independent thought on COVID is a fool, but essentially all the vaccine haters are. Drunk on sentimental nonsense and ideological fantasy, with just enough fact mixed in to make the toxic brew superficially plausible. The 1/6 rioters were much the same.
I would just like to say, the insight to try just a random choice of words and see how well that satisfies the criteria demonstrates a kind of creativity that isn't captured by having people generate a list of "unrelated" words from memory.
It's so strange the way that American liberals hand-wave low vax rates in minority communities. Vague references to the "Tuskegee Experiments", a real event that of course has had some effect on the way some minorities view Western medicine and vaccines. Or notions of "access", despite the vaccines being completely free and widely available for many months.

Tuskegee was many decades ago. There are much more recent examples of the pharmaceutical industry and doctors prescribing a product to millions of Americans that was later shown to be harmful, at least for some patients. I'm of course referring to Oxycontin and other supposedly "non-addictive" opioids. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have died as a result of these drugs. Countless more lives stunted or ruined.

In my view, events like this explain a great deal of working-class (including white, who heavily lean Republican) skepticism about novel treatments. Just today, Pfizer issued a complete recall of the anti-smoking drug, Chantix, after discovering it can increase cancer risk:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/shopping/2021/09/17/cha...

I hope we all can have more empathy for anyone who is skeptical after witnessing or experiencing harm after a incident like this. I'm not saying all fear or skepticism is valid or warranted. Just that I wish people would not judge the individuals involved for their (presumed) politics, and work towards greater education and understanding.
Wait, why do you get $1M 10% of the time with the one-box strategy? The article reads:

"If it predicted that you would take only B, then they put $1 million in B. "

If it predicts that you will take only B, and they put $1M in B, and 90% of the time it's correct, why isn't the one-box strategy 90% likely to get you $1M?
Religions teach that God forgives though. People don’t. Governments most definitely don’t.
I'm not saying we never answer the question, I'm saying there's more important things to focus on right now. Many people are more concerned with the specific question of "where did it come from", I'm more concerned with the specific question "how do we prevent or mitigate this in the future." People are using the former question to reenforce biases against other countries or place blame where, to be frank, is a complete waste of time in my opinion. Specifically, because this will happen again and next time (regardless of origin), it might not be this (relatively) easy (compared to things like Ebola).

"There are few resources on the ground, and especially outside of major cities, for students who are keen to pursue different fields of study like astronomy and astrophysics."

There are no jobs in AY, either. Even at Caltech, the AY students knew that there were no jobs in it upon graduation. Hence, they were double majors, AY for fun and another for a job.

If you still really want a job in AY, a more realistic approach would be to first become a cryptocurrency billionaire, then use the money to fund your own orbiting space telescope.
LACP (which is a control protocol) is a standard feature supported forever on switches. To put it simply both the server and switch see a single port (fake) that has physical ethernet members and a hashing algorithm puts the traffic on that physical ethernet link based on the selected hash. The underlying sw/hw picks which physical link to put the packet on. The input to the hash in picking the link can be src/dst (for all items listed here) MAC, port, IP addr. LACP handles the negotiation of what that hash is between the ends and also hands a link failure "hey man, something broke, we have one less link now). For any given single flow it will hash to the same link. So a for example in a 4x10G lag (also called a port-channel in networking speak) max bandwidth for a single flow would be 10g the max of a single member. In an ideal world the hashing would be perfectly balanced however it is possible to have a set of flows all hash to the same link. Hope that helps.
Side effects are extremely useful for debugging and telemetry, so I really don't see this being useful in any practical sense. Seems interesting in theory. Good luck!

But I am cynical about that working because I wouldn't trust anyone with the power to set the default, especially when the people they are setting the default for aren't able or interested to understand if it's done poorly or well.

That's what sells ads. If you read an article that makes you feel superior to another group of people, like "look what these stupid people are doing," in so many words, that's a hate-monger company. There are many. Fear also sells, and it's a cousin to hate. You can't really have hate without fear. Fear of loss, fear of some unknown boogie man (George Soros, Koch brothers, etc.) It's all to sell advertisements and keep you WATCHING and READING! Pretty sad that is all it takes: money.
I agree, but on the flip side, these guys aren’t doing anything to better themselves. They can’t hold down relationships and they wouldn’t be able to support a family anyway.
