> The paper does not list the data for these endorsement levels so we cannot know the distribution.

There’s a link to supplementary data at the top of the paper, and a further link within the paper explicitly stating to look there for more details: I haven’t checked, but it’s entirely possible that a breakdown of the 1-3 agreement levels is available there, just not explicitly described, which is perfectly fine if an explicitly listing of such data doesn’t do anything to elucidate the answer to the research question.

And, except for someone seeking to find or manufacture dissent, there’s nothing wrong with this “lumping together”… doing so DOES NOT imply “97% consensus that [human impact != 0]”, it DOES imply “97% consensus that [human impact > 0]”. Now, that may look like splitting hairs, but what you are providing here is the idea that “approximately or nearly zero” is a likely position for those who didn’t explicitly quantify, and that’s simply not the case… anyone with such weak agreement is, if anything, MORE inclined to quantify their position on the power effect, not less.

To Godwin early, you’re acting as if there’s a problem with lumping together these groups that sum to a consensus:

1) The Nazis were responsible for killing [a series of specific, very large number of] Jews, Poles, Russians, Masons, LGBTQT+, etc individuals in the Holocaust.

2) The Nazis were responsible for killing untold millions in the Holocaust.

3) The Nazis were responsible for the Holocaust.

… and calling that “97% consensus that the Nazis were responsible for a non-zero number of deaths in the Holocaust”.

The reality, presented by this and numerous other papers, is that an overwhelming majority of those with sufficient expertise to form an opinion share the opinion that anthropogenic climate change is — shockingly — anthropogenic… to an overwhelming degree they agree that such impact is substantial enough to mean not merely contributory (Imp != 0 and Imp > 0 where Imp is potentially small) but to rise to responsibility ((Imp != 0 and Imp > 0 where Imp is not small)… those who oppose this consensus are, usually, not experts or, if experts, not publishing their opinions in their abstracts.

Now, there is a legit research question there… of the substantial number of papers that stated no opinion whatsoever (not part of the 97% of the opinionated you’re not really succeeding to nitpick), how many held a conflicting-to-consensus opinion but didn’t state it, and what factors led to them not stating that opinion? The authors who didn’t place a stake are where you should be focusing, rather than letting your confirmation bias try and put a wedge where it won’t fit.
Scrivener is insanely versatile in what it can do. It’s an amazing piece of software. The only thing is that UX, while good, can at times feel a bit clunky in an old-school way.
> The Open Location Code characters exclude easily confused character pairs. There is a risk that "VV" will be confused for "W" in handwritten messages but we consider this to be unlikely, since that would change the length of a code and this should be detected by the user or recipient.

Never assume users will "detect" some tiny detail.

Overall their spec sounds like some googler spent some time writing a DSL on top of lat/long and they are a victim of sunk cost fallacy, so they had to put an API in front of it.

> I would love it if you would state what you think the viewpoint opposite yours is and then try to defend it, then explain why that defense is wrong.

Ok, this would be opposite: I want absolute access to my 17 years old kids account. I want read all their messages with their friends and I do not want them to have any privacy, because I want to fully control them.

Second part of the opposite: I dont want to talk with my kids about social dynamic in their peer group. I do not want to talk with them about beauty standards, realistic or not. I do not want to help them navigate peer relationships and I do not care about my kids thoughts. My idea of solving these issues is to cut their access to communication methods.

I am not about to defend either.

Taxes work in some cases, but we do bans as well sometimes when it makes sense. That isn't authoritarianism; it's just regular governance. Or you could call it civilization.

In terms of climate change, there isn't really any budget of "safe" CO2 emissions left -- we've used it all up by largely ignoring the problem up until now.

The world can't realistically just stop using fossil fuels right now, because so much of our infrastructure depends on it. But we can stop wasting fuel on things we don't need. One of those things we don't need is the vast majority of air traffic that isn't transporting high-value time-critical cargo or getting people where they need to go to complete a specific job (and if it could have been done with a Skype call then no, it isn't a need).

I’m afraid what’s happening here is what’s called “confirmation bias”.

Here [1] it’s actually the author who rules that out himself based on prior knowledge and the fact that the situation didn’t get better after the first diagnosis and subsequent treatment. Looking for a secondary cause/explanation is what drives him to ask the question in the first place. GPT says here are some “general information on…”.

I am surprised that logistics security is lax enough to allow for (what sounds like) simple impersonation scams to work. Even before food prices went up, these containers must have been worth at least $50k, I honestly would have expected fairly thorough identity checks before handing it over. Perhaps the impersonation is not as simple as the article leads one to believe, though.

I find that one of its strengths. I can’t be tempted to waste time fiddling with the content’s appearance when it’s going to be rendered later in a separate step anyway.

On Apple devices, you can choose from 3 fonts from the same family, and that’s it. After a short while they tend to disappear into the background while I focus on making words good.
You are mixing up definitions. Pi is computable, meaning we can calculate one by one its digits, but is not rational. If you can compute a number in a finite time, you can put it om the number line, but the only numbers that can be finitely computed are the rationals which are countable
Someone could say an ex-German government leader working for the pipeline company he approved could be seen as corrupt.
It seems obvious to me that if you deem the said country as enemy/systemic rival that's the line you are drawing. I think the governace model(i.e authoritan/communist) could be another reason.

There’s actually a philosophy called “housing first” that says you cannot solve those other problems without housing those people.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with all the "defund the police" bullshit from a while ago.
OK, you have a $750,000 mortgage on a $1,000,000 house, plus $250,000 in equity.

Then the price declines and you have a $750,000 mortgage on a $700,000 house, plus $175,000 in meaningless equity.

You can sell the house and pay the bank $50,000, screwing the bank, or you can deliver the house to the bank and pay them $0, screwing the bank much harder.

Meanwhile, you've lost... the opportunity to take out a second mortgage against the equity you had in your house? What was the equity doing for you?

That equity was only useful to you if you had the option to sell your house. If it was your only house, the equity concept wasn't all that meaningful, as applied to you, to begin with.

Try changing the numbers. You have 100% equity in your house and the price falls by 120%. (What happened?) Are you getting screwed? How?

You have 70% equity in your house and the price falls by 100%. Are you getting screwed?
People don’t choose to go to a doctor. They are not given a choice of using the expert system - even if they can’t afford a doctor.

Chatbots for customer support never worked right, so it wasn’t a choice either. With gpt-powered bots, many - if not most will choose that over calling a helpline.
Wow. I just did my license here in the Czech Republic (after driving semi-illegally for 15 years with no issies lol) and it was dodgey but painless. I paid a dude $500 bucks to drive with me for an hour and rubber stamp my ability, and then for the written test, I had a "translator" provided, despite me speaking Czech. She basically told me all the answers as we went through thr test hah!
We believe something first and then we add our reasoning for it. That is what it sounds like. Which seems appropriate for a religious state like Utah.
You are right, still I always think of https://www.quora.com/Why-are-American-cities-essentially-al... this on the topic… :-)

Yes a walkable city is a massive life quality factor, but one can only „get it“ after experiencing it. Add good public transport on top of that and you can see why european/asian cities are so popular nowadays

It obviously isn't, since the infinite repetition of "Police " is

Indeed it does have alot of good points, and i think its important to understand who Charlie Munger was, like his beliefs etc. First of all he is a total critic of Bitcoin calling it "rat poison squared" and "turds". And the guy is totally minimalist, very frugal in his lifestyle. He lives in the same house in California that he owned for over 50 years, and he vocally expresses disdain for luxury cars and other ways of displaying wealth. I'm not sure if thats due to his deep confucianism and taoism appreciation, though.

That's a bit different problem. What UBI could do is let people migrate away from very expensive places because they would no longer fear they'll become destitute if they risk not being able to get a job in cheaper place.
I had to delete xcode because an update through the app store just didn't work. It had been in an "updating" state for over a week, I had given the machine full working days worth of continuous on-time, and eventually I tried to cancel the update which also didn't work. The only recourse was to `sudo rm -rf /Applications/Xcode.app`.

Not the reason OP is deleting Xcode, but you'd be surprised at how buggy a lot of stuff involving Xcode can be.

> We've needed "jobs" to support ourselves since we descended from the trees

Do you think the lion's job is to hunt? And the zebra's job is to eat grass?

A job is something you do in exchange for something else as payment. If you go as far back as to when our ancestors descended from trees, you will need to explain what kind of jobs were around then, who worked them and who paid.
I would love to build a community of developers and contributors on GitHub around my project - who doesn't want to be a Benevolent Dictator for Life? But I can relate to how you feel - on the one occasion when someone created a PR contribution my reaction was to panic, and then copy the (very minor) changes manually over to my current working branch and merge that way.

I expect I've (accidentally? subconsciously?) built barriers to contributions over the years. An idiosyncratic coding style probably makes it more difficult for others to figure out what's going on in the code - especially as I've never written a coding style guide for the project. The rudimentary toolchain around the project - in particular the lack of unit tests to give others confidence in their PR's quality - certainly doesn't help. Writing a Contributor's guide has been on my to-do list for at least 5 years; it's so easy for me to find an excuse to do the work "tomorrow" (which never comes.

And the stupid thing is that this lack of collaboration seriously damages my project. When devs look around for a canvas library to add to their projects, they care a lot about the community surrounding that library - why risk going with a solo-dev library where there's no guarantee that the library won't be abandoned tomorrow? I honestly don't blame them for choosing to go with the competition ... however sad it makes me feel.
Is cash still the dominant means of exchange in Thailand? If the discounted price of the good covered the potential deductible amount then no receipt would be needed.
I also want to recognize that in the case of Utah’s implementation，it likely doesn’t have my best interests in mind so I do see your point. There’s always a possibility of an agenda which isn’t necessarily “good for kids.”

Maybe what we should focus on is more standardization, effectiveness of controls and requiring these trillion dollar companies to build parents one single pane of glass to monitor and control content for all platforms. May not even be feasible but it really just sounds like another engineering challenge that requires a major investment to get it done.

There's also no reason to keep everyone in the same capsule once you're in space: you could have multiple independent reentry vehicles. Fire off a rocket somewhere West of Chicago, send a dozen people to Stockholm, a dozen to London, a bit of cargo to Prague.

That might seem the case from afar, but once you start writing Haskell and
start experimenting these space leaks, you will notice that:

1. 90% of the space leaks you write end up adding a tiny amount of memory
usage to your functions, mostly unnoticeable. Think thunks like (1 + 2) that
are subjected to demand analysis under optimization.

2. 1-2% of them are serious enough to require profiling your code with
cost-centres.

But that's pretty much the same as in C. The vast majority of memory leaks in C aren't fatal to the program. They just lead to a little bit of extra memory usage, mostly unnoticeable. And then you have the small fraction of memory leaks that draw the attention of the OOM-killer. A tacit admission that detecting code that is leaking memory in Haskell is no easier than detecting code that is leaking memory in C does not speak well for Haskell.

Memory leaks are a matter of correctness and reliability. Our computers are not ideal Turing machines. Their "tapes" are finite. Running out of memory causes the program to crash and produce incorrect results. Arguing that this only happens in a small fraction of cases, and can be handled with testing and profiling isn't persuasive, because one might say the same thing for a dynamically typed language, like Python.
Of course they were not able to see everything kids do. They were not able to track kids movements via app either. Parents have huge amount of control that was impossible in the past now.

They also lost some control, if you lived in ideologically segregated community, kids had no way to learn about ideas from outside. That was destroyed by internet. Your Utah Mormon kid can read pre LBGT materials now.
That's the point though. Van Rossum, Stroustrup and Torvalds made their name early on in their careers or even at college, while still in Europe. Sure, later on they emigrated to the US for the money, but that was on the back of their accomplishments.

Of course Nokia was eclipsed by foreign competition (mostly due to terrible management), but it was still innovative in its time. Just as US companies today face competition from Asia.

> Although useful, HTML isn't a very technical accomplishment. Anyone could invent this, including most CS undergrads.

Yes, but they didn't, did they? It's easy to look at something with 20/20 hindsight and say "anyone could have done this". Back in 1989 Berners-Lee had that insight.
Jobs have been disappearing at a high rate for at least a couple of generations now, and have steadily been replaced with new ones, often high paying ones.

In the past jobs took a while to disappear. People had time to retrain, to change career, and to come to terms with things ending. The difference now is that it seems like you could be in a high demand role today, and the whole industry you work in might not exist any more in a few years time.

The suggestion that this is just like it was in the past ignores that massive difference.
Absolute, immutable store paths are the main reason why Nix is so good in the first place. The key assertion is that FHS sucks. Using complicated and brittle namespace tricks to construct virtual FHS's everywhere is nothing more than shoving the problem under the carpet. It severely limits the places where Nix can be useful. You usually can't create nested namespaces inside a Docker container, so you couldn't use "Namespace-Nix" programs there. You're also destroying the ability to compose packages and environments. Using multiple versions of the same package within one environment - another goal of Nix - becomes impossible. Implementing NixOS in such a paradigm would be a nightmare, and the result would be very limited compared to what NixOS can do now.

Yes, having to clean up RPATH after compiling a program sucks. Yes, having to implement workarounds to make build tools that desperately cling to their FHS traditions work sucks. These are effectively bugs and/or design errors in those tools. Packages are supposed to be installable into various different prefixes, Nix or not. That's why ./configure --prefix= exists.

The wheel needed to be reinvented because the old one was square.

Could also be the advantage of a unified market helps US startups scale faster, maybe someone else can speak to that better. Its been influential where Ive worked, at least.

I also think at least US tech has significantly larger firms, but I dont think thats directly in line with societal good. Seems pretty fucking cancerous to me. Cant speak to industries outside of software though.
Apple even takes it even one step further: they understood (Just like haute couture, cosmetics and luxury watch brands before them) that it's neither the product nor the technology nor even the interface itself that's what's really valuable (in the sense of: monetizeable), but the user EXPERIENCE in the sense of how it makes the user FEEL. Which is Why Apple excels in brand marketing.

If you want a cash cow, you don't want a technology-focused project or a mere company, but something between a luxury lifestyle brand and a cult.
Lots of people still want the receipt.

I suspect there are both undercover sellers and buyers to find buyers willing to buy without a receipt, or sellers willing to sell without a receipt.
Parallel execution absolutely helps when operations are IO bound, if they're more or less independent. Making two network requests in parallel is twice as fast as making them sequentially, if the payload is small enough so that latency dominates and bandwidth is negligible.

The question is, how independent are IO operations in separate directories. And the article is claiming that they're fairly independent and don't block each other.
Both arguments are wrong, in my opinion.
