I'd point out that the mechanism you're proposing is itself an anthropogenic change in the environment. We've altered more than just the atmosphere of this planet. Their overall point, "we've effed this planet, and I believe that's caused this specific problem," would still hold, whether or not they were sufficiently precise with their language.

The ways we've "effed" the planet are so numerous and interconnected that it makes sense, at least to me, to lump them together into an umbrella term everyone is familiar with. There is no clean separation between our mining practices and what has happened to the water and what has happened to the atmosphere - they are intimately related.
Did they use the word accurate? You used the word accurate and then you yourself are going on a tirade about how that’s not correct?

It’s clear the article is talking about why sensitivity is important in layman’s terms and while it could use better writing it’s a real problem in diagnostics. This is why you don’t ask men to take a pregnancy test to check for prostrate cancer. It is accurate but not sensitive.

There was a time - the smaller the store the better. I agree big box stores were rarely good. But Radio Shack had excellent, helpful employees. Probably because RS vetted their employees carefully and paid pretty well (I know this from trying and failing to get a job there when I was around 16 years old).
I recently searched "Is XYZ healthy?",

I wouldn't expect that to work any better than the other example someone quoted above, where a search for "nice restaurants" returned restaurants in Nice. Put some more thought into your queries. Like most tools, what you get out of a search engine is largely a reflection of what you put into it.
In general, "synthetic" drugs are more of a menace due to the ease of transportation and production. They don't have to be produced in specific geographic regions and can be very powerful, which adds up to dangerous combination.

Home insurance covers stupidity as well as acts of god, in most cases
They might send an inspector and then refuse to insure, but if you are paying the premium and make an out of code change that causes a claim, they are going to have to pay out for the most part unless your out of code changes are super negligent. Using screws instead of nails would definitely not be considered super negligent. Nor would anything ever be inspected close enough to notice that. Running electrical through the wrong type of PVC is also not likely to be considered negligent enough to deny a claim. Of course, doing everything right the first time is the better way to go anyway as you never know when an insurance may become super petty and try to deny a claim for whatever reason they can find.

My understanding is cardiac deaths early in life are mostly caused by congenital issues that are more likely to shake out under stress, and those late in life are dominated by issues acquired via lifestyle.

Among people under 35 (most athletes) athletes are at significantly higher risk. It's possible tables turn later in life, can't really find a source. Anecdotally I knew two people growing up who died suddenly of congenital heart issues, and both were athletes.

Arguably, small mom & pop shops already started dying in large numbers when big box stores started taking over, and online shopping is continuing the small shop’s march to extinction. Globalization of commerce has only added to the margin pressures. Add a global pandemic for good measure, and it’s been a brutal few decades for small shops in increasingly many parts of the world.
I agree that will is required; the trick though is recognizing where to apply it. I think 1 is a losing strategy. 2 is an excellent starting point, but it might be blocked by another bad practice of some kind...so maybe that needs to be identified and fixed first. I guess the point is that, like that old joke[0], having the hammer is not enough -- knowing what bit to bang on is also critical.

In such projects there is often a promised release date and a contract stipulating e.g. a total test pass rate of at least, say, 95% or something like that.

Now if you use a fuzzer to generate a lot of test cases that fail (if it only saves the failing ones) it will impair the ability to release.

So sadly there are often incentives to not fuzz close to a release.

The management euphemism is “taking a risk based testing approach”, when selectively removing test cases to make the numbers to qualify for a release.
Yup, this is hopelessly confounded now. Soda and juice are "bad", and so letting your kids have a lot of soda shows that you don't really care about parenting norms or data about what's good for kids.

And a lot of people who don't care about parenting norms at all are probably dubious parents in other ways...

There's no attempt here to case control for other factors.

Worse, the parents' own reported measures of children's executive function were used.

I actually created "my own search engine" because of this: notrashsearch.github.io.

It uses Google search tech under the hood (which I've found superior to other search engines), but filters results with a white list. It's only ~100 sites long & very focussed on STEM, but the results are surprisingly good.

If anyone has suggestions for site to add, please let me know!
That kind of manual intervention doesn't scale though. The only way it can work is to have community-curated lists of bad domains, similar to adblock lists, that users can upload to personalize their search result.
Even lowest common denominator has gone too far. Querying "Barcelona" gives you 100% search results for the League team above-the-fold. You must search "Barcelona, Spain" to get information on the city, which then gets you direct links to Google Maps, etc.
All search engines lack a feature that would make them hugely more useful: disambiguation. Suppose I search a common name "John Doe". I should next be presented with a disambiguation page allowing me to select whether I meant "John Doe who was President of Calexico 1905-1909", "John Doe who won the World Series with the Greensocks 1975" or "John Doe professor of Spanish Technicalities at Idaho Institute of Science". It shouldn't be my job to disambiguate my query. The search engine knows much more about the total search space than I do!

They're kids, so parents make a lot of these choices for them, in which case it wouldn't be the kids' poor executive function causing them to drink more. Perhaps the general causal threads are overly indulgent parents, and SSB's are just one facet of that indulgence, which as a whole is what impacts executive function. A behavioral (instead of chemical) cause.

Technical debt, however, comes back to bite your ass, so you eventually learn how to deal with it with so called "best practices" - with better or worse results. The point is that for game developers it's rare to have that pressure actually applied on them, which is reflected in what's considered "best practices" in that field and how fast they evolve compared to other fields.
While the author may not be well versed or focusing on the stats side, you're missing the human side here I think.

> the tests are inaccurate, when in reality the tests are accurate

If the test make someone consider terminating a pregnancy or even considering it, that's a lot of pain. So for that human, the test is failing its purpose potentially, depending on the value calculation of terminating a viable pregnancy vs the severity of the issue if it comes to term.

For a human, accuracy as you defined it means little to nothing. Usefulness and helpfulness are far better metrics, and such a high false positive rate is clearly causing issues in respect to those, which is what the article is highlighting.
While I don’t disagree with Josh’s blog, concentrating on just language features leaves out the style of Lisp development: bottom up REPL style development. When I have to use Haskell or Python, I find myself working as if I were using Lisp: I still favor the REPL and building up from primitive functions to the top level application. This is probably a bad habit but it is the way I work. BTW, using the standard Emacs support for Python works very well: load a file, then re-evaluate just changed classes and functions (not Lisp, but a good work flow anyway).
I can't even tell in which direction you think the astroturfing is happening. Because many of the posts are negative. The more likely thing is that it's a trendy topic and people write and share posts about it. And when something becomes a popular topic, of course most of the posts will be from the past month or two. What else could be the case - people talking about web3 before... they were talking about it? That doesn't make any sense.
The article I was remembering was https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-57018837 in which case the result of the division is 2.45. But in any case, since you can't have a fraction of a country in this context, you would indeed need 3 for each one to have lower emissions than the US.

My experience is that Google continually improved up until around 2014 or so. For the last 3 or 4 years it has slowly been getting worse.
I don’t use a VPN and I don’t think it’s my network because I don’t have any problems with “old” protocols (UPNP, samba, RDP/VNC, SSH, everything on top of HTTP). I wonder what Apple’s protocols do that makes them so error prone. If it was one or two of those I’d say it’s a bad department but the amount of errors suggests a deeper problem in the way Apple develops these things.

> it seems to take decades

This seems to be pure incompetence on our collective part. The Chinese do it on time without much trouble. If you take the EPRs, all the delays are supply chain and contractors issues, and a moving regulatory target. Nothing about that is specific to nuclear.

> cost an order of magnitude more per kWh than offshore wind.

Not quite, but a bit more. I don’t have the data offhand, but EDF Energy’s offshore wind farms have a similar cost per kWh compared to Hinckley C. Also, in an all-intermittent grid, you need to add the cost of storage, which is far from negligible. The true advantage of wind is that you can scale the project in a much finer way (you can’t build half a nuclear reactor).

> It can't be built anywhere either, given the local protests

This is a problem in all cases. People are not thrilled about wind turbines or solar farms in their backyards either.
who knows what the long-term health effects are for sitting on top of a HV battery and being surrounded by that electro-smog.

Absolutely a UX failure here, one that it seems some doctors translate for patients while others are left in the dark on.

> I absolutely expect Google to be able to detect someone's SEO life story bullshit at the top of a recipe and penalize that for ranking purposes.

Agreed, but those life stories are there because Google penalized the site if they weren't.

A whole lot of this is a problem of Google's own creation along with people adapting their behavior to fit how Google works.

You cannot bury EMT underground.

One of the nice things about actual metal conduit, depending on the nature of the soil where you live, is that it only needs to be buried 7" down to meet NEC rules. PVC conduit requires significantly more depth.

Google would need to not have a monopoly if they wanted to do that. Otherwise, they would be accused of anti-competitive practices (since their policies would be aligned with their policies in other services, they would rarely ban themselves).

To be honest as italian this hits me deeper than I'd like to admit, but it's also one of the things that some british people appear stupid to me, complaining about american english, not being their english, like, if that's their native language, haven't you realised the amount of ocean between the countries, but other than that, isn't every population allowed to have their language?

But even with accents, like sometimes I meet some british and complain about my italian-accent-spoken-british, does it even make sense, have you ever listened to yourself speaking italian?

I think british (londoners mostly) are mostly introverts because they really create a lot of un-existing issues for themselves it's really that sometimes you feel scared of doing anything because it could be slighly wrong

I've noticed the same thing and given it some thought recently.

I think a structural shift has occured. A decade+ ago people made sites about their hobby's and interests, they were amateur experts on subjects and because they enjoyed what they wrote about they tended to build up extensive knowledge bases on their subjects, effectively their sites let you learn a subject rather than just trying to give you quick direct answers which might actually not be right for you, their sites let you understand what you really needed.

I think the thing that changed, is those people or their newer versions moved to youtube instead. People make videos instead of articles and what's left on google is the seo'ified crap that lacks the deep knowledge and context the original sites had.

Of course google owns youtube so it likely doesn't care, but yes google search is now a lesser product and I'm not actually sure google can do anything about it.

i wonder if it has anything related to the covid vaccine rollout? The timing coincides.
I think a large portion of the internet agrees with you: the problem isn't that this podcast was de-indexed; the problem is that I was able to learn about it in the first place.
Different countries have different methods of determining if COVID was the cause of death, but so far if I remember correctly only Belgium has excess mortality equivalent to attributed COVID deaths, thanks to their cause qualification method (if COVID is only suspected but wasn't diagnosed, it is attributed to COVID).
For a mass market product the emotional response that people have to the results is pretty important.

It doesn't seem crazy to me that people are seeking out COVID-19 testing now. On the other hand I don't have any question in my mind about where I would go for COVID-19 testing because both Cornell and Cayuga Medical Center run testing sites that are well oiled machines. I am entitled to use one for free because I am staff, students are required to get testing once a week. If I am getting a medical procedures done I am required to get tested by CMC. For people in Tompkins County there is very much a "right answer".

Is testing, particularly personal interested in testing really politicized? My wife was required to get tested once a week when she was helping out at a nursing home and she found that pretty annoying. If somebody wants to get tested personally though what could be wrong with that?
You can always do it the hard way and have an inspector tell you what is wrong, fix it, repeat. The whole point of inspection is to get it right. This method isn’t cost efficient for starting. Find friends to ask questions before starting to reduce inspection failures.
