> If someone somehow forms the opinion that climate change isn't a thing, then present better arguments and information and debate with honesty and integrity.

If you're not already climate scientist, or willing to seriously read up on the literature, then you have no chance of understanding and judging for yourself arguments about the field - this is true for most fields requiring advanced mathematics and statistics. You are deluding yourself if you think you can listen to two climate scientists debate a point and accurately assess who has the better argument; not that this may even be true if you are a climate scientist, as you often need to run your own experiments or at least verify equations and statistical models before making up your mind.

The purpose of journalism is exactly to process facts to the public at a level where they can be understood by most people reading/watching them. The proper way to do science journalism is two steps removed from the raw scientific discussion: you ask scientists in the field about the mainstream opinion, about how strong the consensus is, about plausible non-mainstream opinions; maybe you check with a few people close to the field but outside of it to see what are opinions about the field itself in the larger academic context. If you can, you also get information about consequences of these theories in terms that can be understood by a non-expert audience (such as time dilation and the way it is used in GPS satellites for special relativity).

Then, you present to the public a condensed version of this information.

What you don't do is ignore all of this burden of journalistic research and just bring some scientists that are for or against a theory and let them make some random simplified meaningless arguments to the public to see who has the slicker tongue and nothing else.
It probably meant that the railway was for kids as passengers.

But also, in Russian language, "child" doesn't imply someone younger than teenager, it does include adolescents too. There is a distinct term for "adolescent", but no distinct term for English "kid" or "toddler" except for some regional variants.

Hence, "childrens' railway" is the most broad term for it. Also, naming it "adolescents' railway" sounded more complex in Russian, a bit awkward, and would make visitors wonder: "do they allow little kids to ride?"

Regarding running the railway, there are very strict limitations what adolescents can do and what they can't do. IIRC, they can't control the fuelling of the vehicle, and some other arbitrary operations. Probably, they can't drive the engine, but just sit next to an adult driver.

Respect for the link to John T. Gatto, he was a great thinker, I even translated one of his essays from a link posted here a decade ago.
DNSSEC has support for denial of existence (NSEC/NSEC3) proofs, which means resolvers may require the resolver to provide them. This means you can't just MITM a DS record away. However practically most people dont use locally DNSSEC verifying resolvers, instead relying on upstream resolvers to do the job for them, which can be easily manipulated by your ISP.

Aside from that they bloat the size of responses a lot. However if you can sign DNSSEC on the go, you can use Cloudflare's black lies approach and have small enough DNS responses. [1]

6) In the spec we clarify:
"While DNS is distributed, in practice it relies on centralized, trusted registrars to provide globally unique names. As the awareness of the central role DNS plays on the Internet rises, various institutions are using their power (including legal means) to engage in attacks on the DNS, thus threatening the global availability and integrity of information on the Internet."

The problem is that the current implementation and deployment of DNS is the issue.
GNS has built-in security privacy using crypto and p2p on the one hand with enough user-centric flexibility for trust and zone governance on the other to mitigate power grabs.

The hardware to create a convincing effect is simply too expensive at the moment to be mass market. You can produce collimated light with either a reflector or a lens but both have their issues. Reflectors will add required depth to the package although it can be minimized to some extent. This makes for a rather bulky install and isn't something you can just hang on the wall. Lenses allow the design to be flatter but the more easily produced fresnel variety won't have the same quality of light. You also have to balance whether to use a single point light source or multiple sources and reflectors/lenses. Cooling becomes a problem for light sources that are bright enough to mimic daylight, this would also add noise which would break the illusion of a window. You need a diffuser of some sort which adds more cost even if it is just a sheet of plastic.

All of that adds up to a fairly bulky and expensive piece of equipment which is why you only see a few high end companies producing them for a very niche market.

Hopefully this can be changed in the future by having the cost of high power LEDs come down even more. Maybe mass production of high quality lenses will be helped by developments in the VR field. There are some promising developments there with so called pancake lenses that could make things a lot smaller.
This is how I've operated for most of my adult life. It is generally not received well. It seems to be taken as weakness. It just happened yesterday, on this very forum.

Another possibility: instead of assuming anything, ask questions to clarify where the speaker/writer is coming from. In my experience, people who are arguing in good faith will be glad to go along (as long as you're truly questioning and not badgering or cross-examining). People who are arguing in bad faith will resist, evade, try to turn things around etc. The difference is usually apparent as soon as you ask the first question.
You could apply the same logic to the pirate bay, they're just providing a place to browse torrent files but they're not hosting any of the infringing files themselves, just metadata about them.

The issue with Amazon is not that their services can enable copyright violation (any copy machine can do that), but that even if they're notified of such violations, they don't act on them in a decisive way. I doubt anyone would really complain about book piracy if authors could say "hey this book is in print from so and so publisher, so don't allow third parties other than the publisher to sell it" and Amazon acted on it. Or if authors had a way to say "hey Amazon I'm the owner of this ISBN so other formats for this book need my approval to be listed."
Their comments are not without self-interest. They all see the potential of their own funding being re-evaluated if they admit that any of their ongoing research build's on (or even references) Sylvain Lesné's work.

Those milky way pictures are not so much about long camera exposure but rather tons and tons of after-processing mostly in Photoshop (did quite a bit of night sky photography with full-frame camera). Literally painting some areas with black and massively highlighting colors which are barely there.

You know all those comparisons pre-and-post-photoshop for models? Its same for those over-processed night shots (or generally any way over-processed shots, which most milky way shots are) I turn away in disgust. I understand folks who don't know much about this like it, but once you know what actually comes out of full frame sensor in 25s exposure (even if stacked) there is no way back.

Most pros do this too simply because it sells well to those who don't know better.

It is like metric driven development is a bad idea ...

As soon as any "oh this wont be used for your yearly review" metrics are made up. You need to drop everything and play by the metrics.

Sure, there are some NightJet services by OBB that cover routes like Amsterdam - Vienna. But, that's far too few and mostly covers Vienna to X. But, my hope is that EU leaders would take pride in connecting all major cities to the EU fast rail "grid" so that you can travel from anywhere to anywhere without changing connections just like cheap flights these days.
Amsterdam - Innsbruck (for Ski trips)
Amsterdam - Florence
Amsterdam - Berlin
Amsterdam - Barcelona
Amsterdam - Copenhagen
are all examples that could be direct trains that run frequently such that taking a flight for these should feel like a chore. Of course, I am listing all from Amsterdam because that's where I live. My point is a Rail grid network criss crossing Europe would be super beneficial to the society to remove many cars from the road and many planes from the sky. Heck, these routes would bring added benefit of subsidising freight transport across these population centers.

Yes, EUR/KM operation might come with its flaws. But, if that rail grid is treated as essential infrastructure, and business are allowed to run their train services not the grid competing with each other, it will be a revival of the golden era of trains, and public transport.
> But there was only one moment that really ruptured my suspension of disbelief while reading this whole gonzo book: a scene in which a character from “the autonomous city of Austin” remembers pushing his way onto that city’s subway. Obviously, one can accept that Austin would become a separatist people’s republic within a fractured Texas. But the idea of the “Austin Metro” operating there, even fifty years from now?

Context for non-Texans: Capital Metro is the name of Austin's public transit system, and the current plans for our passenger rail network include at least one large underground station ([0], [1]), so I think this comment is tongue-in-cheek. It's a relatively small component of a relatively small system compared to the iconic subways in other cities, but from a local perspective, a lot of people are having a bit of a "whoah I can't believe this is happening here" reaction, and I think that's what she is referencing.

Whenever I've seen people trot this argument out in the past it's typically sourced from a couple of old Twitter threads and it's a 20/20 hindsight thing wherein he is talking about something exciting and new looks like a shill five years on because they were only talking about that one specific company's thing, ignoring the context of the video and the "at the time this was completely new" factor.

I've seen the same happen for things like ML as applied to a variety of things, most notably Tesla's autopilot features.
Hm, I have not read that book yet, but from what I gathered, it confirmed my view - that he has a generalist understanding of computers(and the sociological impact), but lack the details and don't know how to programm himself.
A key philosophy of mine, is "Success begets success."

I'll set goals small, so success and completion are guaranteed, then raise the bar a bit, on the next one, and so on.

Soon, success and completion become habit, for the team, and the results are amazing. I end up with a team that isn't arrogant, but highly confident, and quite efficient.

"Succeeding" also requires things like careful attention to detail, good testing (and fixing), documentation, and other "boring" stuff. Once that becomes habit, it's just "background noise."

It just takes time, and that is something that seems to be at a premium, these days.

But regular success just feels good. I recommend the practice.

'A lot of people' here being 'Many American men, in engineering / programming who are often unaware'. A lot of the women I have worked with (in dev/engineers) notice and are annoyed by this kind of mis-match. Working in Europe, also most colleagues (men and women) noticed, and made fun of, companies/ stores / restaurants that were too unaware or cheap to notice the problem or fix it.

Light is the prime inputs to human sensing their world! It amazes me people can be so unaware of lighting conditions / problems, when that is how they do a vast majority of these sensing of the world.

Interestingly enough, I have the exact opposite - the more I concentrate on a discussion, the more I have to walk.

This is easy with remote work, I walk in my apartment. People got used to the fact that I suddenly disappear from the video ( a rather good sign :)), I usually do not even realize that I got up.

On the office everyone is seated except for me who is standing up and silently trotting around. Of course I only do it with people who are fine with that.
From the article: "More often, you will run into ordinary people under the influence of bad ideas—ideas that lead them to think and act in misguided, even monstrous ways."

Ask HN: Why do Panera cafe tables have so many NFC Tags?
A few weeks ago, I decided to go to a Panera cafe. I noticed, every time it put my phone on the table, it wouldn't stop buzzing. I thought to myself maybe there's an NFC tag in the table, so I opened up NFC Tools and sure enough, there's so many little NFC tags everywhere.

I thought of a few ways on why this might be, and where I got stuck is the little buzzing things that tell you when to pick up your order, but have zero idea on how that would correlate with the NFC tags. Anybody here know why?

I know it's a weird question, but surely someone else has noticed this before.

step 3. hopefully discover a way to help people that I'm passionate about and utilize all my free time and resources pursuing that passion
