The story would be no different if the scientist was talking to a priest, and neither would its message be. The point is that for logical arguments, about matter or philosophical, you must always start with some set of a priori content to work off of – axioms in logic and the universe in physics. Any physical process by definition can only work when given a universe to work in, you can't possibly derive the universe from nothing because all scientific models by definition describe how the world evolves, and a lack of the world can't.

A naïve person would then argue that hydrogen must have been created by their God, that the existence of the universe must be the doing of their God and that proves that their God must exist. A scientist would interject, as that's a whole load of assumptions which are untestable and the simpler theory, that the universe just exists as an assumption in itself, is a much better one. A less religious person, however, would argue that God is that abstract fact of pre-existence, a pre-existence that all the scientific investigation in the world could never get rid of.

All philosophy of science starts with the set of assumptions known as materialism: the world exists objectively, and its phenomena can be measured and explained. We can't possibly ever escape the assumption that the world exists with any scientific theory and therefore must accept some kind of pre-existence.

The argument does not actually support the existence of a conscious, material God any more than just saying that you believe in him. It simply argues that science can never explain the existence of the universe, just its development. Intelligent design is pretty much excluded.

> instrumental in prediction of the rate of mutation of the spike protein

The research must have been pretty misleading then, because all the experts appeared to be taken by surprise by the fact that it mutated at all, given their original plan was "two shots and done". Something that has now become promoting infinity boosters to a world that has stopped listening (uptake of the current round is extremely low).

But again, why should we listen to claims about virology? People who have been living in ivory caves may not realize this, but it's been proven beyond all doubt that the entire profession engaged in a conspiracy against the public to mislead people about the likelihood of a lab experiment gone wrong. Not just the many authors of the proximal origins paper, but so the other scientists who saw this coverup happening in public and said nothing.

I think it is a little more than that. A chain store strategy of deliberately embracing inconsistent branding is unusual, and going as far as to brand a store with an entirely different name so as to adapt to local tastes is uncommon. Collecting less data about stores (removing foot traffic counters and customer counters) so that staff can concentrate on being nice instead of worrying about store entry/exit metrics is also unusual. It’s a story about a store making a comeback by doing something that other stores wouldn’t do and other retail leaders would quickly reject.

> The missing link here is how we can use tech to actually take care of people; how to feed them,

Food technology is the only reason we can all survive today and why starvation is essentially unheard of among societies with stable enough governments to get aid.

Same here. Basic clothing is incredibly cheap and second hand stores are overflowing with clothes.

It’s as if this author doesn’t understand that technology extends beyond smartphones.

>how to make sure the planet doesn’t reach such high temperatures that we all just melt away.

Green energy is one of the huge technology booms we are going through right now. 20 years ago solar and wind were just novelties. They can now generate massive amounts of electricity and we have viable electric cars to run off of the grid.

> What is missing here is that San Francisco is already the tech hub of the world and is one of the most unequal places in the universe, both socially and economically.

That has nothing to do with technology and everything to do with “fuck you” land owners and cripplingly incompetent legislators so dominated by ideology they spend all of their time fighting over how to best destroy the school system while approving essentially no new housing.

Being the “tech hub” has zero to do with where the tech is used. It only takes one ride on the portable toilet and drug den known as BART to know that technology has little place in day to day SF. It doesn’t take breakthroughs in software or AI to stop people from shooting up and making a living stealing. That takes government, which is the one thing technology hasn’t meaningfully changed.

>What is missing here is that the technological revolution made it easier to hail an Uber or order food delivery, but did nothing about how those drivers and delivery people are being exploited, and how some live in their cars to sustain a decent wage.

Technology is the reason that driver can still eat a meal for less than 1/3rd of an hour’s minimum wage in CA. Technology is the reason they can have a car in the first place. Technology is the reason they can keep in touch with family.

That’s just one paragraph and the rest aren’t meaningfully different. This smacks of someone who is so blinded by their political beliefs, they can’t realize all of their complaints are just about the incompetent government around the Bay Area (and wider California to some extent).

This article is inadvertently nearly completely agreeing with Marc Andreessen’s manifesto. All of its complaints are about areas that technology hasn’t disrupted yet.

Yeah but he is still right when you go under surface level : learning to write is basically learning to draw specific shape that have specific meanings.

It is not surprising that peoples learn to recognise those shape faster when they actually had to learn to draw them instead of just pointing (typing) to use them.

But I don't think it makes any kind of real difference to achieving proficiency level for reading/thinking/writing the language. Recognising the glyphs is a small part of learning a language, you learn grammar, vocabulary, sentence construction, idioms, mostly by repeated exposure and chances are the vast majority of it is from reading ; it wouldn't be very efficient to learn by hand writing everything...
Perhaps not all of your problems! I have my phone in en-gb and live in Switzerland. When I travel to the US it starts showing me temperatures in farenheit

When I travel to the US/UK I _do_ actually want to start seeing distances in miles (I'm "bilingual" with m/km, it's useful to think in distances that locals understand and that match signage). So "just use my home locale's units all the time" wouldn't work (especially for speeds!). So yeah I guess localization is indeed hard!

Honestly I've now just started trying to learn Farenheit! 90 is hot, 70 is nice, 50 is cold, 30 is ice.

I don't know what other people think.

Afghanistan initially was to fight Al Queda, and then just target Taliban military infrastructure when being used to support Al Queda, but then the scope changed to fighting the Taliban, leveraging the lack of discernment from constituents at the time and their undiscerning Islamaphobia (and the Taliban's need to retaliate). The Taliban moved between non-state enemy combatants to not being an enemy at all multiple times, confusing constituents. Ultimately, suppressing the Taliban failed after 20 years and America and NATO decisively lost, but there was a fun opium poppy trade going on. So, historically that makes it worth it, we didn't get Hong Kong 2.0 but it was a nice try.

Iraq was just because to finish a vendetta, with the President once again leveraging the lack of discernment from constituents at the time. There are opportunists that seek to finish oil pipelines, but this has had mixed success given that remote areas continue to be conflict zones.

In the meantime, the President and defense contractors were also able to get Congress to authorize a global endless war against terrorism, sort of as long as it was against Al Queda and other non-state extremist groups, which was somewhat necessary given the adhoc undefined nature of Al Queda and other offshoots of that concept. but there are a lot of exceptions that make the global military authorization to be kind of whatever we feel like, which makes the criticism of America accurate: that there is no moral underpinning from its actions despite the leaders always saying there are.

There is a convenience in being able to surround Iran with American-led military interventions and bases. But this has also largely failed with Afghanistan no longer being occupied by the US, and not really limiting Iran's growth, unless slowing down Iran over 20 years was good enough for the last 20 years. But at this point in time, nothing has been solved.

from what I can tell, other people don't think that. but this reality is more capable of being corroborated.

Of course it was sequenced by virologists, they're the ones who were there at the start when they let it escape, they're the ones who were splicing cleavage sites into it and developing vaccines against what they'd developed. It's all in the grant application to read about there. Then they provided the sequences to allies via back channels early on.

So they don't get points for being first, when they're the ones who created the problem in the first place.
There are systems like this: Fibre Channel has it's own data link layer, actually they do reliability at the data link layer! I think InfiniBand is similar to this respect.

Does this get applied to the NBA, benching the majority black teams and getting some 5'6 Asian or Hispanic males onto the court who Represent America?

Generals get promoted for having more women or people of color promoted under their command. When the casualty reports come in and white men are dying on the battlefield as disproportionate rate, double their demographics do we have generals saying "your race and gender distribution should at least vaguely resemble that of the general population" so we aren't going to send white men on the front lines anymore, we're going to get some diverse front line soldiers until our casualty rates look like America?

I have found this to be not quite true.

In my experience a ton of people in the wrong know very well they are in the wrong. They don't internalize it, but they know anyway.

They just prefer to stay in the wrong because they prefer other people suffering over having to change their world view, especially if it would make them look bad.
Since he embarked on the Barnes & Noble redesign in 2020, Mr. Daunt has demonstrated that consistency doesn’t rank very high on his priority list. New York City has nine Barnes & Noble stores featuring four different logos above the front doors.

A lot of brands benefit from uniformity, knowing that your coffee or burger at Starbucks/McDonalds/wherever is functionally the same in Tokyo or Toronto. I think book stores and other "cultural spaces" might not benefit from this, and the more local flavor, the better. So, this lack of consistency might be more deliberate than it seems.

(As an aside, I dislike the uniformity of global brands and my favorite chain locations were ones unique to the location. This Costa Coffee in Sopot, Poland, being one of the more interesting examples: https://www.tripadvisor.com/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g274735-...)

Show HN: TurboAnimator – Google Slides animations with one shortcut
Hey HN!

I built TurboAnimator as a browser extension to fix my biggest issue with Google Slides: a painfully slow workflow to even add basic animations. I've probably spent hours just dragging that one animation speed slider because Slides doesn't allow you to change the default value.

With TurboAnimator it's just simple shortcuts (e.g., Alt-A), to add a preset animation of your choice to the slide element(s) that you choose. You can also define and use up to 5 more custom animation combinations, choose their triggers, delays, change keybindings, etc.

It's free and available for both Chrome and Firefox (links available at turboanimator.com).

Any feedback at all would be helpful - to try a guided walkthrough and make testing easier, please feel free to clone this deck: https://bit.ly/turboanimator-test-presentation

Thank you!

It's following a passion, but hardly an "objectively perceived benefit".

Except in the sense that everything is a benefit (including shooting heroin, where the benefit is the high, and so on) where the term becomes meaningless. But even so, it still wouldn't be "objectively perceived". More like "subjectively pursued and felt".

It’s always interesting to compare to see how and why some of the hits and misses happen.

The optimism is exaggerated, but overall there has been a sustained global boom. The thing is the benefits have disproportionately accrued to modernising economies in the developing world. China, and much of East Asia has seen an incredible transformation. Catching up is always much easier than forging ahead.

Genetic computing is obviously not a thing, genes are long terms storage, not processing. On the other hand while we don't compute biologically, all the latest advances in AI are based on neural networks, inspired by biological neurons.

We’re not on Mars, and thinking back to 1998 I don’t see where that optimism came from. There was no indication of the technology or appetite for a project like that. It’s only with the advent of reusable rockets that it’s becoming viable.

Nanotechnology was the big buzz back then, but it isn’t pushed that much in the article. Other futurists were making absurd claims of what would be possible in 5 years. Impressive restraint.

China on the road to democracy, and a Russia modernising? Oh well. Both are on the list of major risks though.

As a Brit it’s conflicting to see the optimism for us leading the way in Europe in the main article, and the fact that we basically opted for 10 on the risks list instead.

How exactly do seismologists or meteorologists do artificial experiments that replicate the phenomena they study?

> GoF research in virology is specifically to replicate what happens in nature

And yet in both the leaked chats and third party analysis, they talk extensively about how the RNA sequence doesn't match what they'd expect from natural evolution. Not only was it highly adapted to humans right from the get go, but there was the furin cleavage site too. The strange and artificial looking nature of it created suspicion immediately which is why they engaged in a conspiracy to shut down and censor discussion of it.

So that doesn't seem like they're just replicating nature.
