No, "Google" did not do it; the ShakeAlert program [0] and their research partners [1] (USGS, CalOES, Cal Geological Survey, CalTech, UC Berkeley Seismological Lab, UW, UOregon, ETH Zurich (SED), Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation).
Seems like they're doing an A+ job on the technical work and a D job on self-promotion :) , it's impossible to find a single webpage listing the ShakeAlert project's team, current and former. But they deserve due recognition and praise.

As to @datadata's comment, "Earthquake Early Warning system" doesn't mean "predictive seismology", it means a (crowdsourced syndicated sensor-based) early warning of maybe 1-10 seconds, on the surface, P waves travel at 3.7 miles/s [2]. Even a 10-second early warning is enough to signal transit, turn off pipelines, put up early warning signs on freeway and in transit, send textphone alerts, avoid disasters, save lives, etc. This was one of the lessons learned from 1989.

This project is a success story and deserves to be written about more. I'd also be interested also to read about the level of interoperability with earthquake and tsunami early warning systems in Japan, SE Asia, ME etc. An alarming counterstory was the 2018 Indonesia tsunami early detection buoys (off Sulawesi) haven't worked for six years due to 'lack of funding'

@alvarezbjm-hn: I helped organize a talk by one of the UCB SeismoLab researchers, she specifically addressed the privacy concerns people occasionally ask about ShakeAlert not retaining PII or being useable for tracking individuals. As to Android itself, that's a different story. (But if you wanted an app to track people intrusively, an app that doesn't use PII and is from a US-taxpayer funded program with federal and state oversight is probably like the last target you'd pick...)

(As to ascribing everything that happens on an Android phone to "Google", if the phone market/OS majority was Xiaomi or Huawei or HarmonyOS, the result would be the same. Google did not make the phone hardware or its MEMS accelerometer)

Incident seems a bit disperse for a crush? Usually would be a choke point like a door instead bodies on the road & the mention of '81 reports of "shortness of breath"'.

Which scientific papers support your hypothesis?
Here's the entire report on the wind market: https://www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/2022-08/land_base... Difference in regional costs starts on page 42 (Texas is ERCOT).
EDIT: There is definitely a mismatch between the display URL and the landing page URL. It's not clear to me how that can happen; for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jx-gl6K2zQw shows that only the display path can be edited (not the domain), consistently with the wording on https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/2616010 and https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/2375287. On the other hand, https://support.google.com/adspolicy/answer/6368661 talks about destination mismatch as if it is technically possible and just forbidden by policy.

The ad's ID is DChcSEwiPvfuL-YX7AhVmkmYCHUXQC1wYABAAGgJzbQ (displayed when reporting it), the display URL is https://www.gimp.org/ and the final location after clicking the ad is https[:]//gilimp[.]org/ (with no intermediate redirects via gimp.org).

Original comment:

The Reddit user says the ad's display URL was different from landing page URL. If that's the case it is particularly concerning. I believe Google Ads only allows the advertiser to set the path component of the display URL, and takes the domain from the landing page (real) URL; so it's unclear how the mismatch could happen.

Maybe the Reddit user took the screenshot on a separate occasion from when they clicked the malicious link, and the ad changed in that time (currently I can see an ad for GIMP, and it links to the official domain, and the linked Twitter thread linked by @pmoriarty says the attacker is actively changing things). The only other explanation I can think of is that the official GIMP website has an open redirect vulnerability.
Could you provide us with suitable maps to compare?
You're being very dishonest, and we both know it. If a news source is legitimately mixed in factual reporting, that would mean you can't assume what they are saying is false, because some of what they say is true by definition. But you just outright dismissed the entire site!

Anyways, you didn't actually catch me on anything. I knew long before that Daily Wire had a "mixed" rating on that site. I had also already clicked on all their examples of false reporting, and all of them were climate change-related articles from years ago where they found a scientist who disagreed with the reporting. So, uh, don't trust Daily wire for climate change articles?

Anyways, even a recent hit piece from NPR admitted that daily wire's reporting is mostly factual: https://www.dailywire.com/news/npr-accuses-daily-wire-of-tri...

From NPR: "The articles The Daily Wire publishes don’t normally include falsehoods (with some exceptions), and the site said it is committed to “truthful, accurate and ethical reporting.”"

Please come talk to me again when you're willing to have an honest discussion about a topic, and not when you're just trying, and failing, to score points.

You’ve misinterpreted the advice :) It’s not about being compelled to say yes all the time to make others happy, it’s about saying yes _more_ to make yourself happy.

As an example, a work friend of mine invited me to a house party once at their shared house, there were a lot of people going but I didn’t know any of them except her. My instinctive reaction was to say “thanks, but no thanks”, but I decided to take a gamble and say yes.

I ended up having a really good evening, and I met some really great people who I now consider to be friends of my own. All because I took a gamble and said yes to something I’d typically say no to.

Chemical Filtering systems are also not cheap, require serious engineering and constraint the designs and yet we are happy not having hazardous waste released into our environment.

I'm personally OK with requiring interoperability when the free market resorts to rent seeking when can't attract customers by offering compelling services.

Interoperability requirements can be easy as mandating documentation and legal permission for interaction with API and it can be up to the competitors to implement the easy switching experience.
You appear to have some fairly detailed revenge fantasies for Musk to exact against people he probably isn't that all personally affronted by.
> So is your stand that because they were wrong 40 years ago

Don't concede that point. 50 years ago the decreasing temperature over time was written about in a pop science article (by a journalist) not peer reviewed science (although scientists were quoted). The magazine covers claiming it was a major story were modern photoshops - the article was on page 64.
Hmmm, HTML has had layout behaviour that works at all viewports since its inception -- it's just that web developers have often implemented markup that that is inflexible. Just as you could make static/inflexible layout in any of the tools you mentioned, so could you do so with HTML. The regular flow of content on a web page has always been basically equivalent to "word wrap" (I don't know the proper term if there is one). The only noteworthy feature specifically regarding viewport resizing for web pages is "media queries" which wasn't necessary for ensuring a flexible layout.

It was always technically possible to have a flexible layout, it just didn't become popular/"standard" until around when mobile started being a popular medium via which to view that content. The prevalence "best viewed at 1024x768 or higher" was just a symptom of inflexible design & implementation, not an actual technical limitation of HTML.

P.S. I will definitely agree that laying out content in HTML has always been awkward, tedious, and inconsistent across browsers, hahah :)

>Why does renewable energy sources have to be so political?

The Republican Party made it political as part of its efforts to establish itself as the pro-business, pro-oil, anti-regulation party[0].

Also, historically environmentalism has had cultural intersections with leftist and feminist movements, which leads in a thumbtacks-and-string way to a suspicion among the American right of a radical socialist agenda behind environmentalism which still persists, as was demonstrated with Trump's infamous tweet about global warming being a Chinese communist plot.

All of this, along with global warming skepticism and a general disdain for "expertise" and "academia" applies via the transitive property of American politics to renewable energy. There is even a dimension of anti-environmentalism/anti-renewable belief among some conservative Christians who believe God gave humanity the world to use as they saw fit, and that God will literally just fix everything.

That’s interesting. I began as a Physics major, and loved Laser and Optics, Electrical Circuits, Mechanics, all the labs really. But then I got to upper division Quantum Mechanics and I hated it. I was pushing around Schroedinger equations all day to get the correct answers but I never had a firm mental model on what was actually going on behind the math. I ended up switching my major to Mechanical Engineering. In hind sight I should have jus stuck it out because I ended writing software for a living anyway :)

“But the hard truth is that now is the right time to focus on this, and the beginning of the pandemic was simply not.”

You’ve hit on one of the biggest issues of the debate.

Early on many of the posts acted like if everyone got on board with a lab leak theory or if it turned out to be a lab leak, then we would be able to get back to normal and also the government would be blameless for their terrible prep.

Neither of those made sense. The virus could have been from a lab, from a meteor, from an angry pine cone god willing it into existence, or from evolution making a virus jump species. It wouldn’t effect the proper response or change the situation.

While the virus is still a concern, we’re out of the acute phase so now it’s appropriate for a retrospective cause analysis in order to prevent it from happening again. The start it would have served no purpose except distract from what actually needed focus.

Also, even today it seems almost moot whether it was from the market or the lab. That both are very plausible scenarios really should be enough to take appropriate measures for making sure neither could spawn a new one.
Once they are forced to become interoperable, they can’t change independently.

Do you not see the problem?
In theory you are right. In the real world the reality is that most of the software out there is built on the shoulders of open source. Due diligence for every thing you pull in (along with planning on what to do if you need to remove/maintain yourself) is prohibitory expensive.

If you rely on something you should try to ensure that it survives and trives. Especially if you are raking in money as a result of using that something.
How would that work?

I don’t think the US and EU have any bilateral trade deals, do they?
I got an alert through the emergency alert system on my iPhone (during the quake though, not before it, but the report said that was also true of some Android alerts). I don’t have an app installed that was responsible for it.
The correct site is https://powertochoose.org but your observation of having a pseudo-choice of energy providers still stands.
My point is just that more specific terminology should be used. Your friends have nonbinary gender presentation, but that doesn't make their gender something other than male or female.

And sure, there's historically been a wide range of gender roles, norms, and expectations, but there's only ever been two genders.
It always strikes me as so weird when someone deems it appropriate to speak for a whole group of people, especially a group as diverse as Europeans. Just say you don't want to live like that and then lobby government to put in place regulations that will allow you to live the way you want while allowing others to choose to live the way they want, even if that means in a 500 square foot highrise apartment in a densely packed area.

> I didn't build this for conformance I just wanted to program OpenGL on the MacOS platform

That's a bit of a red sign. It may work on your machine for your application. Conformance tests are a great mechanism to understand how it's going to work for other applications you haven't tested. Hooking up OpenGL CTS on macOS shouldn't be too hard - we got the Vulkan CTS running there a while ago.

Practically speaking, this project is interesting. While generally I'd recommend looking at Vulkan instead of OpenGL 4xxx (as opposed to, say OpenGL ES 3.1), in this case Vulkan -> Metal is much more involved than OpenGL -> Metal. The low level abstractions of Vulkan just don't play that well. For example, MoltenVK doesn't really record any command buffers before you submit(), and that's an abstraction failure. So OpenGL -> Metal is an interesting way to have portable code with a more flexible (better?) abstraction, assuming you can make it work :)
Exactly this. It’s not enough to take over the world. Growth isn’t enough. The rate of growth must grow as well.

I was happy to see another buying opportunity, but I definitely rolled my eyes at Wall Street’s overreaction.
They happen suddenly, so even if you saw a large crowd moving you might not know what you're looking at. Basically the crowd compacts because people are trying to move at all different directions on the exiting side edge so a massive slowdown occurs. Meanwhile, the farthest edge of the crowd or in a sufficiently large crowd the center mass acts as a force that condenses everything between it and the edge.

There are ways to mitigate this, like having multiple exiting edges and spacing out sets so people don't feel like they're in a hurry or knowing what sets lots of people are going to want to get to and spacing those out.
The tsunami hit an hour later. That seems like plenty of time to get fire trucks, backup generators, and other emergency equipment prepped. But of course hindsight is 20/20. The predictions were off and the emergency preparedness wasn’t what it should be.

I still think it’s interesting that they did have plenty of advanced warning, albeit underestimated. Most of the reporting I’ve seen made it sound like what you said, that it happened suddenly.
It is the fault of email, the protocol, yes.

If email was better designed, it would not allow these situations to happen. For example, if server operators didn't own your account, there would be no problem.

It is a protocol issue.
But that platform is Horizon Worlds.

Mark's metaverse is very specifically a shared virtual physical environment. Yes you're going to pay to enter spaces and have experiences and buy clothing... but Horizon Worlds isn't an app on the platform. It is the platform, it is the metaverse, everything is happening within it in Mark's vision here.

Metaverse == Horizon Worlds
> god punishing them for their wickedness with plague and famine without mentioning the sun was blocked out by a volcano for a decade.

You might be glossing over the fact that perhaps god did the punishing by way of volcano eruption. Just like how god was upset about what the dinosaurs did (the blasphemy of those guys!!) by punishing them with an asteroid.
Taking a side does not mean submitting yourself to an argument. The advice is "take a side", not "advocate/defend a side in all circumstances".
Can’t believe I’m the first/only one to post these:

- Upgrade by Blake Crouch

- Biography of the Pixel by Alvy Ray Smith

Like Project Hail Mary, Upgrade is the kind of book I really wanted back when I was a michael crichton fan. His last book, Recursion was really my favorite. I love books that secretly teach you a thing or two and celebrate science and engineering.

Biography of the Pixel was a fascinating history of computer graphics and fundamental graphics concepts.
> Interoperability requirements can be easy as mandating documentation and legal permission for interaction with API and it can be up to the competitors to implement the easy switching experience.

This is a misunderstanding of the problem. Once there is an API it can’t be changed without breaking the clients.

Therefore independent progress is no longer possible. This destroys innovation.
