This entire thing is a strawman argument.

"'small “nudges', often the sorts of things that we might not think would affect us at all, can have big effects on behavior. Thus the claims that elections are decided by college football games and shark attacks..."

In Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein's book "Nudge," where I believe the term was coined or at least popularized, nudges are almost exclusively presented as the results of "choice architecture," that is the way decisions are presented to people. Of note is that this makes the nudge directly related to the decision itself, and bears resemblance to the butterfly effect only in that both make claims about cause and effect.

To say that behavioral economics is obsessed with trying to hunt down unexpected correlations and publish papers is at best misleading or just plain wrong. I'm sure there are obscure researchers invloved in such pursuits, but it's crazy to characterize the entire discipline this way. He has the caveat "at least how it is presented in the news media." What is that? He should have talked to someone or read something (like Nudge, the book) before ranting. Did he see John Stossel do a segment or something and now he's an expert?

Also of note is that the author is a statistician and political scientist, but his "piranha argument" is a crude attempt at colloquializing analysis that economists (including behavioral economists!) do all the time. Close behind in ubiquity of the economic mantra that "there is no such thing as a free lunch" is that "people respond to incentives." The law of unintended consequences was a term that was popularized by a sociologist, but its roots can be found in the writings of Joseph Schumpeter.

It's a concern for me when they no longer become opt-in to prevent dangerous things like "misinformation" and "terrorism" and most importantly copyrighted material.
When I was a child, I was allowed to go into the adult library. In a conservative, Southern US state. It's a shame to see the UK being more right wing than the most conservative parts of the US.
You're saving fake quotes? If that's your hobby go for it I guess. You don't need to tell us though.
Probably just say the car won't start if it hasn't phoned home in a certain amount of time. Attempt to phone on start-up, shutdown if it can't. You don't have to rug-pull while the car is active.

I could see this being a "feature" of leased vehicles for example since you don't own it.

Tesla's should be fully functional currently, it's the self-driving that's a subscription.
You specifically rejected a point. I responded to talk about that point. Now you want me to defend everything someone else has said.

> So let’s try this again: Use your math concepts of jailing to justify giving the police unilateral power to jail people despite the policies voted on by the people of San Francisco (or not!)

Again, this is so far over the line. It's not something I've talked about. Indeed, no one except you is talking about arbitrary police powers to jail, as far as I can tell, but instead talking about the appropriateness of civil orders.

I don't really want to talk about civil orders, because my answer is: it's complicated! I do think civil restraining orders are often good, which are a power of the police to jail if you go certain places or near certain people. One that covers a 50 block area to prevent broad sets of possible criminality is probably bad. But that has never been what I've been talking about in this thread.

You talked on the other topic, which I responded about, and you've refused to talk about any more.

What is the exact thing you are trying to achieve here? Are you trying to convince people? Are you trying to make yourself feel good by making other people feel bad? I had hoped to share ideas and really discuss, instead of being lambasted for other peoples' words.
This is just war, nothing else. But this is Fourth world war, that's why it have so huge consequences.
The title sounds rather alarming. In reality, this is one mobile ISP blocking archive.org as part of its parental controls. I can't help but wonder if this is the author's first exposure to ISPs' content blocking?

Still, I'm curious as to the logic (if any) behind targeting archive.org - is it because it allows filters to be bypassed, or was it in error? Or something else?
There will always be performance-enhancing drugs.
I disagree that it's human-centric.

Life seems way more likely to evolve in a gravity well. That creates certain constraints. Likewise, it's hard to imagine how life would become a spacefaring species without some form of social organization (ie they'd need to be social creatures).

And thing slike generating and using energy and creating living area also seem to be quite fundamental.

An alternative is for a meatbag civilization to go virtual. That's possible of course but computing power is a function of energy expenditure so you're kind of back where you started.
> make sure I'm not violating any terms (give source credit in recipe page).

This is a common misunderstanding. Giving credit does not grant the right to copy protected works.

In terms of copyright for a recipe site -- you can't copyright an ingredient list, and you can't copyright a process, but the language in the directions can be protected. For example, this (https://recipehunt.app/kimchi-recipe-1224) seems to be in violation of copyright. However, if the directions were re-written in original language, it would be fine.
I'm not aware of any such services in the Czech Republic, for example, opt-in or not.

Some of these ISPs do block Reddit at least.
Microbiome researcher here. Like many microbiome results - this paper has tantalizing evidence of a powerful and systemic effect, but extremely limited direct evidence. The primary experiment in the paper is the transfer of stool contents from old mice to young mice (and vice versa). The chemical complexity of stool is hard to overstate - it's one of the most chemically diverse environments known. While the microbes are ~75% of the weight of feces (and thus of the fecal transplant) there is a huge complement of other things including host-derived effector molecules, fungal, and viral components. Three things that I think are important to think about:

1) A critical experiment to determine that it is bacteria (or fungal/virus) per se and not a host effector would be the transfer of contents from aged germ-free control mice (mice without microbes of any type). The authors mention a transfer protocol that could be optimized for fungal commensals, but don't address the more important germ-free control.

2) It is hard to characterize individual immune metabolites/signals (e.g. IL-10, IL-6, etc.) as either good or bad. The context determines the effect and they show changes in at least 20 cytokines in Fig 3E. While they focus on IL-6 and TNF, it's not immediately clear those are necessarily a part of pathogenic inflammageing. LBP conversely, seems pretty hard to interpret as anything but evidence of barrier permeability and this result seems strong.

3) It's not clear how much of this effect would sustain over the long term. The amount of time between fecal transplant and mouse sacrifice/result generation was only 18 days. Experiments with such a short duration seem like they might capture an unrelated effect due to some other coincident factor.

Overall, a well done paper with a lot of interesting things, but also reasons to be very skeptical of the magnitude of this effect. As usual, I will end with: you can dramatically improve your microbiome health (whatever that term actually means) by eating a high fiber diet like most humans did for most of evolutionary time.
Your wiki link is missing. But I've had gut issues for a year since eating something bad. I've tried everything, seen a dozen doctors. Very curious about this.
It can be made to work with any framework with a proper adapter. NestJS is quite opinionated though so I suspect the two will not work well together.

> I was referencing Fight Club as an example of an auto manufacturer making a life and death decision based off their financial incentives and not the best interest of the customer. The decision to take on liability is about money, not confidence in safety.

The Fight Club scene is about how these two things are integrated: their confidence in safety defines their ability to choose to take on liability.

Yes, its intent in the story is to horrify: there's a lack of humanity, a reliance on a simple function relating those two variables.

However, that doesn't imply the two variables are unrelated, in fact, it implies they are completely correlated.
They also associate by mobile phone number and name matching based on one reply I got to my ticket.

They suggested changing the name on the business account but that would just shift the issue to someone else unless we use a fake name. And I think it did not let me do it when I tried, it's been a year or two so I forget some details.

I did, I can't remember the details but it didn't work. I think it prevented me from adding one type of data because that was already in the other account as a unique identifier (possibly phone number). I just tried today though and it let me add my number, so maybe that fixed it finally.

I don't see that as an "aggressive" interpretation of the words – that's the actual provision in the policy. There's a lot in that sentence, let's reduce it to the relevant stuff:

> We may transfer your personal data to [third parties] in connection with... a corporate transaction or... we are acquired by or merged with another company or we sell, liquidate, or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets

I don't understand why a company preaching privacy wouldn't want to show good faith by making an ironclad privacy policy around the same.

Single-word quotes can't help but be taken out of context.
Looking into this a bit more, this seems like a classic case of “much ado about nothing.”

The situation as I understand it:

1. A UK telecom company, EE, has an optional (!!) parental control feature, which blocks websites based on a user-selected threshold [0]

2. Archive.org was added to this block-list. This makes sense at first glance: as an exercise to the reader, go to archive.org and type in the URL of your favorite porn website.

3. This is all user-controllable and is disabled by default.

Yeah, assuming I have my facts right, this seems like a big, fat, nothing burger. Please correct me if I’ve misanalysed.

Climate change is a natural fact of our planet, it's been happening since its inception and will continue. Is this current push towards renewables our first forey into terraforming?
> under 40mph in city,

from the video:

> but once we hit some traffic we go under 40 miles an hour we'll be able to engage it but there are some other caveats: you have to be on a highway, the weather has to be nice, it can't be raining, it can't be freezing, and you can't change lanes; you have to stay in your lane while drive pilot is enabled

Hence the need for geofencing to the easiest situations where assuming liability means assuming nearly 0 liability. I really hope it progresses but we'll see in 3-5 years.

They pass the initial law as opt-in. That allows them to fund the initial infrastructure.

Then they make it out-out. The change doesn’t get much attention because the funding is already in place and “think of the children”.

Then they add political thought crimes to the filters.

Then they make it so you can’t opt-out.
Teaching is not the primary focus of most Ivy League universities, research is. There's more money in research and faculty would rather be doing research. Undergraduate instruction is also valuable, but is a secondary priority.

This degrades our freedoms and our privacy. Many of us are already being tracked every time we drive. All of the tracking, all of the loss of control and it's not serving us. Most people aren't even aware it's happening to them. These "features" are and will increasingly be abused and not just by the government, but by the corporations as well. Do we really want a permanent record of everywhere we drive and when? Of how fast we went? Of who we were with and what we were talking about while in the vehicle? We'd better start asking ourselves those questions now because that's where we're headed.

Right now, you can at least physically disconnect and disable the OnStar system. In the future it seems likely that kind of thing will be entirely built in and impossible or illegal to disable.
This reminds me of what I recall was called "analog tetris", where you had pixel perfect control of where you dropped the bricks. Aligning them to fill holes was really hard!
I think the phrase "eat shit" is still safe.
Or civilizations stop growing and never get to a Dyson something stage. You're a hundred billion or so immortal beings that can engineer their very wants and propensities, with a trillion autonomous robot minions, near-inexhaustible amounts of raw materials from asteroids, and more than enough renewable energy to live very happily ever after, why keep growing? Maybe the great filter is just that, a shift in priorities that prevents the others from getting big enough to be easily detectable.
> Some sort of ship emitting enough power to be detected at a non-trivial distance from Earth (see inverse square law) would vaporize itself.

Then you can say goodbye to those robotic spaceships. Note that I'm not claiming that they're possible -- I'm just saying that if they do exist, they're very detectable.

> An antimatter spaceship could fly past Pluto tomorrow and we could easily miss it

We can detect Voyager from way past Pluto, even though it emits only several dozen watts. I'm not sure how you'd miss an antimatter-powered spaceship at a comparable distance.
I don't see the misunderstanding. Most of what you quoted is irrelevant, he said two key sentences:

"And so actually, when you think about it, in order to solve full self-driving, we have to solve neural nets and cameras to a degree of a capability that is on par with, and will really exceeds humans. And I think we will achieve that this year."

The meaning seems pretty clear. He says they will achieve "that", "that" being "solve full self-driving" and "solve ... on par with, and will really exceed humans" from the directly preceding sentence, which can only be either Level 4 or 5. Where is the misunderstanding?
The point is that there are senses of the word "where" that have nothing to do with location, and it is one of those senses that is operative in the question "where does space come from."
The full quote:

> once we hit some traffic we go under 40 miles an hour we'll be able to engage it but there are some other caveats: you have to be on a highway, the weather has to be nice, it can't be raining, it can't be freezing, and you can't change lanes; you have to stay in your lane while drive pilot is enabled

So it also needs to be on the highway.

The efficiency of stellar fusion doesn't matter, only the cost does. Whether or not humanity decides to harvest it, the sun emits a ludicrous amount of energy for free, just waiting to be captured with today's tech.

Of course, you'd never want to actually use a Dyson Thing to ever transmit 100% of the Sun's energy to Earth, because all energy turns to heat eventually and you'd scour the planet clean from all the inevitable waste heat.

Like so many others I also have created my own website to show my artwork (photography, printmaking), recipes for the benefit of others with dietary restrictions (low-sodium), and software projects.

But to me it's much more than a website. Behind it is a set of software tools I've been developing for website generation. The public-facing website is in effect a major demo of what the tools can do. The programming challenge is what makes it worthwhile, stretching the site's capabilities is highly rewarding. Also improving the site's performance and efficiency is a benefit of "roll-your-own" site creation. Polishing it to excellent results contributes to a sense of accomplishment.

Anyway it's pretty easy and cheap to use a modest VPS to host the site. If a person has the knowledge running a self-managed host is quite practical and allows maximum freedom and minimal risk of "deplatforming" that was going on a while back even if the risk is near zero.

I never expected to get a lot of traffic, though there is some. One surprising aspect has been the number of attempted "break-ins" (e.g., via ssh). Properly configuring a firewall is a necessity. But that stuff is just part of normal administrative responsibility.
Just remember the golden rule about advice (this advice included) is that it's all relative to one's own personal circumstance. What may work for me may not for you and that doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong or there's anything wrong with you or your approach.

The ridiculous thing is the researchers not only don't know but they don't care because they never controlled for those factors and never even bothered to replicate their own experiment in different situations to explore the scope of applicability. Nor even replicate it in the same situation. It's as if they're trying to hide the truth from themselves because really they know it's a fraud and they'll only end up exposing the nothingness of their finding if they try too hard.
