When you start calling five sigma events "click-baity" you may find others asking legitimate questions about your ability to assess what is significant.

Encountering a headline that tries to get people to read the article is a roughly zero-sigma event. That's the purpose of a headline, and has been for about 150 years. Retailers also sell things for more than they paid for them and supply chains are hard. If you can understand what a five sigma event is, you can understand these things as well.
It’s a devious click and switch game. It’s tricked and continues to trick many a person, not least the old and vulnerable. It’s a form of evil cynicism.
St. Patrick’s Day was originally a pagan holiday celebrating the vernal equinox, before being co-opted by the Catholic church. And I feel like it (the US version of St Patrick’s Day at least) still is fundamentally just a celebration of Spring - people feeling good now that Winter has passed and can’t help but celebrate.

People have layered on symbolism, and I agree that the Japanese interpretation is far more interesting than the US version. But ultimately I find any sort of symbolism to be rather dull compared to that feeling you get when Spring finally arrives. To me it really is primarily just about feeling good, and enjoying that feeling with family and friends.

Russia is not trying to annex (the whole of) Ukraine, at least that’s what they say. My understanding is that Russia wants a neutral buffer zone between themselves and NATO. This is basically Putin’s negotiation conditions. Putin isn’t even asking Ukraine to join CSTO, if I understand correctly.

Never cross a river that is on average 4 feet deep. Storms, currents, each time more frequent extreme weather, disrupted climate features (like the polar vortex or AMOC).

There are so many, but there are three in particular that in my experience are most important and weirdly lacking in a number of organisations:

- Type checking (and particularly modern type systems) can remove entire classes of error – often reducing the long-term maintenance cost of code substantially at the cost of (sometimes) slowing down initial development.

- Automatic and enforced code formatting and linting eliminates almost all bikeshedding and feedback loops around formatting and code style, and is an observable efficiency improvement.

- Continuous integration without a doubt. Build every source control push or PR into an artefact that's ready to deploy, along with validation and automated testing. Basically remove all manual processes from every system to the fullest extent possible.

Also, can't stress enough – fix anything that irritates you as soon as you can. Is your IDE failing to resolve some types properly? Fix it. Annoyingly long debug build times? Flaky tests? Stupid manual environment setup scripts? Fix them – you almost always fail to realise how much stress these things are causing you until they are gone.

I think your case is a bit different because you don't actually want to live in the city. Obviously both city and country living have their advantages and disadvantages, and it would likely benefit most developed countries greatly if more people were willing to live outside the major cities.

The issue is mainly people wanting to live in a large city, but also wanting to live in a single family home (and most of them, although maybe not on HN, seem to favor residential zoning instead of mixed) which results in really shitty cities that are environmental disasters with endless sprawl, long commutes in city traffic, having to drive even for basic things like going to a grocery store, etc. And you don't have a "prairie preserve without having to drive" in that case, in fact you more likely than not have a longer drive to get out of the city than a person living in a denser city. Check out Perth, it's probably the best example in the world of this being taken to the extreme, with almost the entire city being just endless rows of houses.

> There is evidence to the contrary.

Your evidence is incorrect. None of those are FOSS licenses. If you google their names, you'll see each sparked controversy, and ultimately the SPDX doesn't exclusively list FOSS licenses.

Ultimately they infringe on the most basic right: to use the software for whatever you want.

> There are popular community supported projects that are often colloquially described as open source which use licenses that are not OSI/FSF.

Nobody cares about "colloquially". Colloquially, Microsoft in the past tried to pull a fast one and pass their Shared Source initiative as "open source", which it wasn't.

FOSS means something. None of the examples you gave are FOSS.

Mostly nonsense masquerading under math/science and missing forest for the trees. Rising temperature does not in itself make land arable or suitable for habitation. In fact it would probably have the opposite effect in sub-arctic regions by causing extensive desertification, forest fires, flooding, erosion, etc.

I can't speak for land in Siberia, but I can speak about land in the north here in my own country, Canada.

The limiting factor for arability in the north here is not temperature, but soil (or, rather, the absence of it.)

Most of the north of Canada, especially the near-north which is now mostly boreal forest, is shallow soil overtop of an almost (or fully) exposed granite base we call the "Canadian shield". It covers a huge portion of the country. It doesn't matter how warm you make it, you won't be able to farm it.

Warming the north also means massive forest fires, which we are already seeing.

In areas where the soils are decent and that aren't on the shield there's already farming quite far north. E.g. take a look at the Peace River etc areas of Alberta. There's quite a few crops you can grow quite far north. (Also much of Canada isn't geographically that far north anyways, when compared to Eurasia.) But you have to have dirt to grow it in.

As for the tundra / taiga / permafrost even further north, I don't know much about the potential soil quality of that land (I doubt it's great though, it's quite arid), but its thawing is already leading to massive erosion problems and population decline for native species.

EDIT: Just for context: The Canadian Shield is 8 million km^2. The total land surface area of the earth is 148 million km^2, thus: The Canadian shield is 5% of the entire land surface of the EARTH, 8% of the northern hemisphere's land mass and 80% of Canada's landmass.
Reimagining calculus has changed several schools’ success rates. Here’s how.
Pharo is more of a research experiment than anything practical than can be used to engineer complex systems, I know I tried. It comes with many flaws, first and foremost being a lack of vision (often seen in academia) that significantly holds back its potential.

As far as state of the art in image-based development goes, that is without a doubt, still Symbolics Genera. It's depressing to realize that after all these decades, we still haven't reached this pinnacle.

> Lines 1, 2 and 3, together, uniquely determine special and general relativity, cosmology, the Hilbert Lagrangian and Einstein's field equations, as told here.

This is a huge exaggeration.

For example 1 says "W=∫L" but L is never defined. The definition of L hides a lot of details, in particular that each point of the universe is equivalent, so there is translation invariance that using the Noether's theorem implies the conservation of momentum.

There are many definitions of L, for example if you are analyzing bead that locked to a circular wire, it's usual to define L with a coordinate that follows the shape of the wire. There are also definitions of L in spherical coordinates, where each coordinate is different. Anyone with a Major in Physic has nightmares about the posibilites to define L.

For example in 2 "v ≤ c" can be true in a stupid universe where the force is bounded and there is enough friction everywhere. Imagine a universe that is full of "water" or "aether" or other magical thing with magical friction. And for some reason the force is bounded, for example like the post says in 3 "F ≤ c4/4G"

Also, I can't imagine how it is possible to rediscover all thermodynamics from "S ≥ k" in item 5.
Same, for me it appears to alternate between /min and /min(), but I can see max and max() properly.

That's not any different from the many open source projects that require a CLA.

highlighting and underlining don't per-se cause you to learn. However they do have two useful properties.

1. The act of looking for and underlining or highlighting text helps you to focus on identifying core ideas or concepts in the text.

2. Underlined and highlighted text are useful as hints when reviewing a text and reviewing a text is a critical part of learning.

These properties are so helpful that many texts actively help you to absorb their content by bolding, underlining, or otherwise calling attention to core concepts and ideas for you.

Temperature is bounded to a positive values and it is sufficiently reasonable to at least try to look at temperature distribution as a log-normal distribution, where logarithms of temperature are distributed normally.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution

From this vantage point, bigger positive swings are more likely than bigger negative ones - because positive swings are in the range exp(logmean)..infinity and negative ones are in range 0..exp(logmean).

Take a look at second picture in Wiipedia article. The value with CDF(x)=0.75 is about four times bigger for sigma=1 curve than value for CDF(x)=0.25.

And I guess that distribution of temperature in Antarctica is more close to a log-normal distribution than distribution of temperature in, say, Houston or Cancun.

>But all of the reliable evidence is that if you’re vaccinated, boosted, etc., the chance of you being seriously ill from catching COVID is really no more likely than the flu.

The best of my understanding is that the evidence indicates that if you're vaccinated and boosted, you'll likely test negative for covid. Testing negative seems great, but what if the whole story is that while you do test negative, you still end up suffering seriously from a covid-like illness you wouldn't otherwise have experienced if the pandemic wasn't raging?

Basically, there's not enough data out yet to say if those who test negative but get a covid-like illness fare better due to their vaccines in terms of hospitalization and death. But Chris Masterjohn is doing some awesome research to try to find out. In short, he's trying to figure out if the vaccines are worth taking at all. At the end of the day, people want to avoid suffering the symptoms of a disease and couldn't care less if they can merely pass a test.
>They did not threaten anybody

Try viewing things from another perspective for a moment. If there was an unfriendly alliance to the United States, and Mexico declared they wanted to join this alliance, and were being supplied military weapons and training by this alliance over the past few years... wouldn't you think the US would be somewhat alarmed or threatened? (Cuba missile crisis hello?) Furthermore, in such a situation, how likely would the US warn Mexico to not join this alliance, and/or threaten to invade if they didn't demiliterize? How likely would we invade if they refused? We did invade Iraq after all, over supposedly weapons of mass destruction - why not an unfriendly nation on our border that has been militarizing the past few years?

Now replace Ukraine with Mexico, and Russia with US, and that's basically the situation.

DEVELOPMENT: Confusing and complex development tooling or middleware, nope - just SFTP a single file to your webroot.

There are plenty of so called "derivations of Maxwell equations", however, I would not claim that they were based on U(1) necessarily. IMO ME are just the integrability conditions for any conserved quantity (continuity equation): take a generic three-form in R^4, then dJ=0 => J=dF. F has six components corresponding to two vectofields in R^3 which depend on the fourth coordinate and satisfy the div and curl relations as in ME ;)

Drought and flood projections undermine the 'usable' claim:

https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2881/earths-freshwater-future-...

Projected result on agricultural production? (IPCC 2020):

"World Bank (2009) projected that, without the carbon fertilisation effect, climate change will reduce the mean yields for 11 major global crops, such as millet, field pea, sugar beet, sweet potato, wheat, rice, maize, soybean, groundnut, sunflower, and rapeseed, by 15% in Sub-Saharan Africa, by 11% in Middle East and North Africa, by 18% in South Asia, and by 6% in Latin America and Caribbean by 2046–2055, compared with 1996–2005. A separate meta-analysis suggested a similar order of reduction in yields in Africa and South Asia due to climate change by 2050 (Knox et al., 2012). Schlenker and Lobell (2010) estimated that in sub-Saharan Africa, crop production may be reduced by 17–22% due to climate change by 2051. At the local level, climate change impacts on crop yields vary by location (Chapter 5). Negative impacts of climate change on agricultural productivity contribute to higher food prices. The imbalance between supply and demand for agricultural products is projected to increase agricultural prices in the range of 32% for rice to 100% for maize by 2050 (Nelson et al., 2010), and cereal prices in the range between a 32% increase and a 16% decrease by 2030 (Hertel et al., 2010)."
