I use a AMD Linux machine for work (softfware development).

Now I want to setup a second machine for audio production (Pro Tools and Ableton). For that I have the choice between Windows and Linux. Easy choice for me: M1 and MacOS, I certainly won't dabble with Windows.

And even outside of science the notion that people thought the Earth was flat tends to be vastly exaggerated.

E.g. Dante's Divine Comedy contained a detailed explanation of how the Earth is round, including a description of how this means daytime comes at different times in different locations in the 14th century, well before the fanciful fictional descriptions of Columbus struggling to convince people the earth was round (rather than the more realistic argument over distance)

Dante wasn't first in literature by any means either, and at most the detail in which it is described might indicate it was something he may have thought his audience were unfamiliar with the consequences of, but it doesn't appear to be presented as some shocking, controversial idea even for a non-scientific audience, more than just illustrating the sheer scale involved.

It's interesting how the notion that the belief in a flat earth was widespread, may well be far more widespread today than the belief itself was.
> we will have normal social structures again.

What do you consider "normal"?
Perhaps it shouldn't be.

It doesn't fit the modern world at all. It was designed when people tended farms and raised a brood of children. We have new needs and lifestyles now.
Suspicious timing is a good term. As far as I know the 4000 years of development which preceded the Eurasian bronze age are absent in america (tokens, cold hammering, accounting, step by step increases in architectural complexity), even though agriculture must have been part of a much earlier package or human condition as you said. Wooden idols and totems go back to ice age times, I give you that.
As climate problems increase and we fail to resolve them I wouldn't be surprised to see terrorist acts in the name of environmentalism.
The oldest conclusive research on the topic came from (and was buried by) oil company researchers - at a time when this wasn't on anyone's radar at all.

The only political stance is climate change denialism, the data has always shown anthropogenic climate change as the most likely explanation, even when it was a fringe new idea.
I'm guessing what they are referring to is the IPCC working group 3 report, set to come out next year but leaked a month ago [0] by concerned members of the group.

At the time the website was derided due to its anti-corporate/governmental rhetoric. But they were right - everybody is lobbying for our destruction.

> Japanese names will look correct after Han unification both to Japanese people on a Japanese computer and to Chinese people on a Chinese computer.

Only if you are displaying them in a way that respects the computer's preferences (most websites and programs, especially American websites and programs, don't) and those preferences are set correctly. And certainly if you have text blocks that contain both Chinese and Japanese names you will always mangle at least one of them.

> The problem with correlations are that you need a large volume of data to suggest causation. We don’t have that.

Just based on this sentence I have a hard time believing you really are a scientist as you claim. There is no requirement on large volume of data to suggest causation. In fact no amount of data and correlation by itself can establish causation, because they are very different concepts (Hence the correlation!=causation). You need mechanisms to explain the causations, and you need to verify the mechanisms. This has been done extensively for climate change.

> Because of those claims of causation, the field has lost significant credibility

I would say your claims lost you a lot of credibility just now.
It's important to first note the obvious: physics didn't change when Einstein came up with his theory of relativity. Where classical mechanics had proven to be very accurate, Einstein's relativity had to be in agreement. It could not have been otherwise. It's only where classical mechanics had not been tested (or not been tested with much success) that relativity could diverge.

This is something that is often misunderstood by those who dismiss scientific knowledge: accumulated observations and experiments don't end up in the trash. Any new breakthrough theory is first going to have to be in agreement with all of them.

That's why classical mechanics is still not only taught at school, but also widely used by engineers to this day: it's extremely accurate (within some bounds).

No. It's the other way around: shifting responsibility from government and corporation to the individual is an excuse for doing nothing and blaming you for nothing getting done. This is how recycling and the carbon footprint is invented - by the softdrink and fossil fuel industry. You have just fallen perfectly into their traps.

I think you really need to name a couple particles like that if you're going to bring it up.

The most biased super-precise physics I can think of offhand is when someone measures a physical constant slightly wrong and then subsequent results all lean in the same direction. This happens more than once, most notably with fundamental electric charge, but it's absolutely nothing compared to a nonexistent value!

That's true, divorces are expensive.
Do you also wonder how much funding is granted in proving that the Earth is flat? Or do you understand that at some point the weight of evidence is big enough that funding theories that contradict that weight of evidence becomes wasteful?

> We did a hacky image analysis with ImageMagick to survey favicon colors. Here is the dominant color breakdown across our favicons. This isn’t very accurate, unfortunately. I suspect that many multicolored favicons are getting lumped in with purple.

Writing or reviewing a sentence like this should make you reconsider. Either do the right analysis or remove this from your article. But when you say your analysis is probably wrong and the results look weird, then why publish as is?
Are you saying that big oil/tobacco have not funded scientific studies denying climate change?
It is indeed that I will not use anything from Google unless I absolutely have to (doesn't happen often but image search on DDG sometimes misses results Google shows).

It reminds me of conversations I used to have with an autistic guy who didn't really get conversational cues. He would just come out with facts that didn't at all fit the flow of the conversation.

In any case I don't think the point of the articles is just to be a conversation starter.

Everything sucks, but I have come to the conclusion this is a good sign. It means there are not enough programmers to do the things we know are perfectly possible. It's not just web dev, which actually I don't touch. Recently I'm writing LaTeX again and I find the experience surreal. Hell, there are several open source computer algebra systems with lot of man years inside and they are barely maintained. Most (all?) of them written in Common Lisp, they work, but need some serious interface work. Our imagination has no limits but our time is finite.

That's not at all true for all dating apps and their users. I used apps nearly exclusively geared towards and users who were looking for standard dates and relationships with long term horizons. The model for these apps is to get new or returning users under subscription. Apps and/or users targeting the short term are easily avoided.
This gov literally needed the former Prime Minsters letter to start acting even when the mess was as clear as day for everyone else. The gov was too lost in their lust for even more power. Making things way worse than they needed to be. To get to that "decisiveness" we needed fires burning constantly in Delhi, the Ganges flooding with bodies. Plus foreign media covering how big a mess it was.

A coalition gov would have been faster to act just because they have to take care of the people or face a major backlash. We paid a heavy price for this "decisive" leader!

I am not going into how the supporters of the gov behaved with people who lost family...all because they wanted to protect the image of the government!

While the M1 is surely impressive I think you put too much weight on those JS compilation results. Windows is known to be really slow for this specific task since it has poor per-file IO performance - especially when Windows Defender is enabled.

I do my daily work - involving lots of JS compilation - on a i5-4690 running ubuntu server, it's faster than any of my colleagues' much newer MacBook Pros (no M1's yet though). Our Windows laptops are so far behind that it's just awful to watch (3-5 times slower).

Well, it was the 70s. The "start" and "stop" codons were known. They could work out that transcription proteins would seek out those codons, produce a strip of mRNA of the DNA bases between those codons, zip it on over to the ribosome, and crank out a protein.

Then there's the rest of the genome. Vast stretches of DNA that don't have the signals needed to transcribe proteins. Why?

They didn't know. They had no idea. It would be decades before they even had a complete copy of the genome. It was years of grinding effort, of trying to work out the big picture by staring through a straw. DNA methylation, gene expression, histone stuff, the entire field of epigeneics-- non-coding DNA playing an active role in cellular operation without directly producing proteins-- was still in the future.

If Theranos ultimately produced equipment that did what the demo demonstrated, would this demo then be fraud, or not?

That's a legit question.

Where is the hard demarcation between 'fraud' and 'controlled demo'? Because the ability to follow through with something is fairly intangible.

Tesla could have gone bankrupt at several points. Would that have made some of Musk's unfulfilled claims (and actual unfulfilled orders) a form of fraud?

I think Theranos is effectively a fraud, but I think it's also based on a kind of self-delusion derived from what is otherwise kind of common activity.

It would be ideal to have maybe a bit of regulatory concern over this for medical devices, i.e. if you can't make anything up in a demo, anything hidden amounts to a material lack of disclosure of something serious.

It will be interesting when they realize that it's not a "crisis", but that it is what it is and that psychological phenomenon are just too variable (in time and space) to be reproduced.
surprised by your experience with an older laptop. I have both a 4 years old dell (forget it's name right now, for biz uses) and a 2015 MBA (which makes it 6 years old now), and they are both getting SLOW. In a vacuum - they are fine, they pull through. but they are notably slow machines. (i prefer windows but can't stand the dell and find myself keep going back to the mba - although youtube sucks on that machine with chrome)

edit: oh the mba battery is still a miracle compared to the dell's, btw

> we will have normal social structures again.

Does this basically translate to, "we'll judge the shit out of any non-traditional family again"?
Stop spreading this misinformation. Climate change has started as a hypothesis like any other, first proved by oil company researchers (the company proceeded to bury the research and force everyone to sign NDAs). There were many competing theories (including the default that no climate change is happening), and climate change has been consistently attacked and belittled by powerful interests for 50 years.

Slowly though, the research kept trickling in and became incontrovertible, and alarming. As the question of IF became scientifically settled, funding naturally dried up for the fringe still looking for alternatives - just like funding for flat earth science is pretty dry today. This is normal and good and doesn't show bias, except towards simple scientific truths.
Excellent reasoning, but I strongly disagree with the conclusion. The gap between action and belief is exactly why we need collective action, not individual action.

There's a difference between us as a citizen, and as a consumer. The pandemic has shown perfectly that leaving everything up to 'individual freedom' will result in a mess.

> Stop blaming others for your footprint

Did you know the very idea of a footprint is invented by BP as a mechanism to shift responsibility and place blame on the consumer?

Personally I spend a large part of my income on reducing my footprint by the way, but I have no illusions that this is where the required change will come from. In the country where I live, merely being registered as a citizen, paying taxes and everything that is legally required, will have am unsustainable footprint - before I even begin to take a breath I have consumed my share.

What we need to do is hold the actors who are responsible accountable and make a mass collective change that is non-optional.

I agree with this. It's about economic and social support. Leif Eriksson was the son of the notorious murderer Eric the Red. Eric was twice outcast, first from Norway to Iceland, then from Iceland to Greenland. On top of that, Leif was an enthusiastic convert to Christianity, which somewhat alienated him from his still pagan father. They lived on a fringe of a fringe of the European economic, cultural and religious community. They didn't even really have the economic support to sustain a settlement on Greenland (where they were more by necessity than opportunity, due to Eric's crimes), let alone Nova Scotia.
It makes sense if your ex stayed out of the workplace during your relationship to take care of children and the home.
This just sounds like standard "last days" apocalyptic religious claptrap.

Likelihood of dying by violence is lower in developed countries now than the historical norm. Forms of bigotry on average seem to be way down, acceptance of those different from you is up. People's morals have mostly gotten better, not worse.

There are still problems -- climate change is the big one that's potentially actually apocalyptic -- but for the most part humanity is prospering.
And still throw thousands at it.
Alimony is useful in a context where wages are sufficient for one parent to stay at home full-time. Part of the reason it seems so out of place today is that as a society we've let average wages stagnate so far that living on one wage is impossible for most couples.
