"Dark Matter" defies parsimony. Occam's Razor suggests rejecting the
assumption that spacetime is uniform. The search for "Laws" may be a
parochialism built into human epistemology. Advanced aliens may be
comfortable with the idea of "space weather" and local variations. :)
After reading the article. I don’t see where they said it was a counting system. Rather that it has the same rhyming structure as counting systems and so it had to be considered a possibility that it came from that. Which by the end they said was very unlikely.
> You’d have to explain what should be done about that.

Well, there should be something that follows from the assumption that there are huge amounts of particles that only interact via gravity. What's the prediction that this model makes? If it doesn't make any useful prediction, it's pretty much worthless.

> That’s living in the 19th century, basically - which admittedly, many people still seem to want to do.

I think this attitude is inappropriate. The scientific progress made with 19th century methods, and that includes most of the stuff discovered until the 1950s, is massive. Maybe scientists should focus more on a clear nay or yea? I mean, the LHC is certainly a significant achievement, but compared to the detection of gravitational waves or even just exoplanets it doesn't seem to deliver as much bang for the buck.
Absolutely it's an entirely ridiculous notion.

> Here in W.Australia Rio Tinto manage and remote co-pilot otherwise fully automated 100 tonne Haulpak dump trucks (that can easily run over and crush a car or pickup truck) from 1,000 km away.

Comparing a truck that goes slowly back and forth on a single, unvarying track which never changes to an airplane is not reasonable.

And do you know what happens when those trucks, which drive at slow speeds, lose connection? They stop and wait for the connection to re-establish. Does that work for planes?

> but there is an argument to made for emergency remote pilot capability.

You don't actually make that argument, because there isn't one. Most air emergencies happen in seconds and require situational awareness, and usually some sort of physical input.

Funnily enough I was just asking chatGPT what it thought about it, so here it goes:

>It is unlikely that AI will completely replace programmers. While AI and machine learning technology has advanced significantly in recent years, there are still many tasks that require human creativity and intuition, such as coming up with new ideas, solving complex problems, and making decisions that involve subjective judgement. Additionally, as AI and machine learning technology continues to advance, it is likely that new job opportunities will be created in fields related to these technologies, such as developing and managing AI systems.

There is literally no other path you are legally permitted to use in many places.
I'm not sure why you're taking this as victim blaming. _Everyone_ needs to change, including the corporations and the very society we live in to make it a goal.

If it wasn't implicit in my fantasy world, there is no more class difference. Everyone has a very good baseline, like _VERY_ good. Clothing, food, transportation, energy, housing. When this is all taken care of in a great way, what exactly will corporations have to sell anymore to have the power they have now?

Personal gain doesn't just mean exorbitant wealth, it means the entire style of life we've built modern society around. Yes, I work for personal gain because I want to travel, eat cool food, and get nice things to make my life better. Everyone does this because they have to. That's not victim blaming, it's a fact of life that everyone does this. Many have to work harder and struggle more because of the inequality of the system that forces the only means of living as "work towards personal gain."

Now just try to imagine for a moment what your life would be like if you didn't have to focus on personal gain, you just implicitly had a guaranteed stable and nice and comfortable life; what would you do? Would you still try to chase only ventures that secure your future further, or would you maybe start to consider more passion projects?

To be perfectly clear, I absolutely understand that this is not as simple of a matter of "hey everyone, let's just be nicer" and then we will have utopia. Far from it, I understand there are deeply entrenched systems that force this way of consumption and struggle on the entire planet.

The first step towards something better however is to accept that it can be possible; as long as we're telling ourselves it can never be better, naturally it's going to be stuck this way. You can see small examples of this everywhere; municipal ISPs versus the incumbent ISPs are a perfect example of a community saying "hey, the corporation is bullshit, let's do our own thing", and this works out pretty well, results in better and cheaper service for communities, and ultimately weakens corporations as they have to play nicer in order to play at all.

What other elements in your life could be improved like this? That is all I'm asking you to think about.

I was told this once by a scrum trainer when I told him it sucked. I then challenged him to figure out which part we were doing wrong. He couldn't coz we pretty much did it to the letter - following the directives from another scrum trainer.

Altering the prompt a bit (how will AI put programmers out of work?)

>It is unlikely that AI will completely put programmers out of work. However, it is possible that certain tasks currently performed by programmers, such as routine and repetitive tasks, could be automated by AI in the future. This could potentially lead to job displacement for some programmers. It is also possible that the increasing use of AI could lead to a shift in the types of skills and expertise that are in demand in the job market, potentially making some programming skills and knowledge less valuable. However, as AI and machine learning technology continue to evolve, it is likely that new job opportunities will be created in fields related to these technologies, such as developing and managing AI systems.

I have suggested MERGE as the last resort (due to the the main table having 40(!) circa columns), not as the preferred option – please refer to the last paragraph in my comment. Yes, it is difficult indeed to recommend something more specific without knowing exact details.

MERGE does have a number of its own peculiarities that are database engine specific and the MERGE behaviour is not portable across RDBMS's.

For instance, Oracle simply does not care about the transaction context width in which a MERGE is used, and the transaction will either succeed or fail no matter how long the transaction takes. Whereas MS SQL Server is very, very touchy and will kill off the transaction if, say, an index update caused by a MERGE is taking too long (from the SQL Server perspective). So it is better to minimise the transaction context containing a MERGE for the MS SQL Server and carefully assess the index update performance. I would expect Postgres to have the behaviour closer to that of Oracle, but I have not looked into it.

More generally speaking (and if we ignore MERGE implementation specific details for a moment), remember that the UPSERT pattern has come about as a workaround for the missing MERGE functionality which was added into the specification very late, and vendors were slow to implement it. MERGE covers a few very useful use cases, especially for complex UPSERT scenarios, but it does not obviate UPSERT's in simple scenarios. Both are useful.
I come from one such city in Canada.

There are no sidewalks in my parents' suburban neighborhood. You just walk among the houses, and there is nowhere to go. It's no surprise that we spent our childhoods at the mall.

These dead neighborhoods are connected by high traffic roads, also with no sidewalks, each more boring than the last, each loud and dangerous.

In Germany, wherever you go, there are little paths. They go along fields and streams, between houses, from park to park. It's easy to find a pleasant place to walk from your home. It's something I dearly miss when I visit the home country.
Resetting the immune system can be already done and it seems to help against auto-immune diseases such as lupus, but it is very dangerous. Once you destroy the immune system of the patient, and before it grows back from donor cells, the patient is fatally vulnerable even to normally banal pathogens such as the common cold. Keeping the patient isolated and alive in a hospital full of germs is a major challenge.

That is why this kind of therapy is only used when the patient faces death anyway.
Some explanations:

1) Actual regulated banking is ... well regulated. Buying and possibly selling monopoly money passes this regulation.

2) Making a token out of everything allows you to play on the chain.

3) There is profit in trading customers real money to your own monopoly tokens... Which of value is determined on market while you keep the real dollars.

4) It could allow some people to argue that they never realised any profits from their trading. Thus tax avoidance...
The fact that you have ways to avoid paywalls doesn't change my question imho.
"Doctors fitted a contraceptive coil without my consent"
"Simultaneously alone and in company" is an accurate description. What may be added, are long hours coffeehouses in context of the emerging "Beisl" scene in Vienna in the 1980s. With the added traits of a nightly bar, the aligning media consumption (as in newspapers) was replaced by potential connectivity and the social scene became its own ultimate media. Maybe somewhat helped by libidinous ambitions, which in turn promoted the exchange of ideas. (An example would be "Café Alt Wien", a respectable coffeehouse by day, which would transform into an essential nightly point of exchange with regulars stopping by frequently on their tours, mixing with those who preferred to spend the evening there.)

I very much agree with you, and have raised these questions before.
I got some interesting responses that half-mollified my worries.

Originally dark matter was hypothesized because of galaxy rotation mismatches. This allows for mapping where 'dark matter' should be. One falsification of dark matter that was tried is gravitational lensing. If there is indeed extra curvature of space-time in these galaxies, then they should bend light-rays, Potentially showing the same galaxy twice.

This was tested, and confirmed. Hypothesized dark matter, as detected by galaxy rotation, causes the expected gravitational lensing.

I suppose another potential falsification is by 'moving' dark matter through a gravitational tractor (very heavy mass with rocket engines) and then detect the resultant change in gravity. You could attempt that detection by gravitational lensing, orbit velocity, or perhaps something else.

Despite all this, dark matter still feels like our theory of gravity was falsified, and instead of concluding the theory was wrong, it was attempted to add random parameters to the theory. Its not like there is a better theory though (I believe MONS has trouble with explaining gravitational lensing), so perhaps this is a problem of PR much more than a problem of science.

As for the second question, for dark matter to be matter, I think it suffices if it has mass and inertia. My gravity tractor detection idea tries to work with that.

I see this in system admin. It's not a popular view, but automation is not always the best way forward. maintaining your terraform/ansible/etc ecosystem to run a single service on a single raspberry pi that sits in an office running a ticker above reception is far more work than a 5 line instruction manual. Chances are you'll never have to touch that box again until it comes time to move office, and when you do all that automation fails anyway.

I vaguely recall hearing that there are galaxies "without any dark-matter". Or, more accurately, galaxies whose rotational speed is consistent with general relativity without needing to presume dark matter exists in those galaxies.

If that is correct, does it not immediately invalidate MOND?
It's all relative. In the most simple case there is no reason (and no requirement) to file a tax report at all.

Adding information from the employer is data that the employer has already submitted. Investment data could be transmitted from banks to the tax office directly, instead it's paper, as it always has been for the traditional process. The only iformation that would require filing is such not created through parties that are transmitting data anyway. e.g. private loans, collecting rent, etc.

As soon as any information is required to be transmitted, all information is required.

It's a process designed for execution on paper put into a computer. It's not a process designed for full automation. If any private company would operate that way they wouldn't be making any money.
