I was harassed repeatedly made to stand with my hands on a patrol car for 15 minutes in case I had developed a record since last week when I was just walking home from my job at night. I was ultimately falsely arrested for using bad language whilst walking away, prepared a reasonable defense then a excellent appeal both of which were ignored. They showed it as dropped then re-raised it when I had left town.

If I was willing to spend 30 days in jail lose thousands of dollars income and spend thousands more I might be able to win it when appeals took it out of that fucked up state.

Realistically I can't do anything about it.

On the other hand they didnt really investigate the 2 attempts to burn down my apartment building attempted homicide x 50 x 2 nor arrest the ex co-worker who tried to murder one of his fellows in a walmart parking lot.

I was left to organize a neighborhood patrol of the premises in the one case and get a psycho to chase me to get him off a guy who can only run by pressing x.

We live in the worst of all possible worlds where police are available to shoot teens but aren't available to do their jobs. If you wonder why you can't hire enough cops wonder no more. It's not liberals pissing in their cornflakes a lot of good folks don't choose to be a part of an obvious shit show.

In closing it's been said those who would give up essential liberty for temporary security deserve neither but more importantly they get neither. A police state isn't a particularly safe place.

That presenter eventually learned not to make that mistake. His recent videos all include links to the original videos exactly so that people who want additional context can get it. But he didn't do that back then.

However, in my experience, Drew goes out of his way to fairly represent people's positions. Based on that I would trust that he's fairly representing his understanding of what other people actually did. Drew's mistakes are far more likely to be from honest error than malice.
Not even wrong.

Those people directly or indirectly alleviate the unwanted condition (though that's debatable where priests are concerned). Youtube is exploiting it without doing anything about it. They're not 'informing the wider world about it'.
The Wired writeup is one of the more misleading ones. You're right: what the paper finds is that Spanish Flu disproportionately killed the young cohorts... it just may have been within young cohorts disproportionately killing young people with subtle hidden frailties.

The real importance of this work is that it supports the interpretation that Spanish Flu was so deadly because young people missed a cycle of flu which would have immunized them to it as effectively as it had immunized (the surviving) elderly people, as opposed to some sort of intrinsic-youth-targeting factor unique to Spanish Flu.

I have absolutely had the issue with being in authority, up to the point of allowing a staff member to work from home for extended time and assuming they were doing everything they said they were doing because why would they lie about it?

Later it took months to fix the damage and I realised that some people will absolutely take advantage even at their own future expense.

This article is a bit maddening. I find the beginning encouraging....

I’ve written before about how autistic people often
struggle to know how to act around authority figures.
Actually, that’s not true– we don’t seem to *care* how
we act around authority.

I like the distinction between unknowing and uncaring. I like the level of personal responsibility that this suggests and I wish the rest of the article continued in this vein.

It makes us *really weird* to neurotypical people,
who seem to accept authority happily.

This is not correct at all in my experience. I don't think anybody loves submitting to authority just for the fun of it.

Certainly there is a lot of personal calculus that goes into whether or not we accept a given authority. Cost vs. benefit. Whether we see a reason to respect the authority. Whether we see value in it. Social pressure. Of course this calculus will be different from person to person and from situation to situation, and of course neurotypicals and folks on the spectrum will tend to have a different view.

But, "seem to accept authority happily?" Yeesh. It seems to imply an absence of thought rather than different criteria weights.
impressive progress, although it's still not real time enough and the frames change too much to be considered smooth.

> I don't understand how people think Carbon Capture is a solution.

While the current crop of carbon capture technologies are rather inefficient and useless, once we've got more of a mastery of bioengineering, it's by far the best answer to the long term greenhouse gas problem (not without its risks though).

The tens of meters deep peatlands that cover Canada, Russia, and the rainforests of the tropics hold enough biomass to more than triple the planetary CO2 ppm if they were burned. Those peatlands only started forming 18,000 years ago when the glaciers started receding so we have hard evidence that nature is capable of sequestering mind boggling amounts of carbon very quickly. That suggests that if we engineered a system we could do it even faster. It might take us a century to develop the biotech to that point, but long term the solution is on the horizon.

If we had the political will now we could get a decent head start by industrializing seaweed, algae, and other fast growing organisms for CO2 capture.
I think the biggest concern with something like releasing SO2 as a geoengineering project, which needs, quoting someone else in the thread "very little" to be released to have a big effect, the concern is over-correction or unforeseen effects caused by an insufficient understanding of the system as a whole.

I imagine unionizing software engineers at a media company is probably a bit easier since the equity side of NYT is likely not as valuable as tech companies in the Bay Area.

For instance there's also this news today out of union-heavy Sweden where a Tesla worker walk-out failed:

They also appreciated the fact that they were issued stock options from the company, some of whom have reportedly seen an increase of several hundred percent to date.

Reminds me of playing life on a minicomputer at my dads work in 1970. It's hard to grasp the feeling of seeing that when nothing like it exists elsewhere. Almost everything mechanical in 1970 was a purely mechanical device without a shred of agency.

> People who do not accept this will be perpetually unhappy and bitter about how others obtain undeserved success

This is a good comment, however a giant issue is most companies will not say this out loud, and in fact say the opposite.

So while it's fine if you're savvy enough to see through this, it's not really fair to smirk at people who don't and who honestly take what leaders say at face value.

It's like a weird western version of Japanese office culture where you need to know the wordless rules, but it's not wordless and you need to ignore the BS said while feigning agreement.
I wonder to what extent their 8-channel memory controller is helping. Intel has been selling 2-channel memory subsystems into the desktop and mobile market for a long time, still doing that even on 24-core CPUs. I believe the cheapest 8-channel CPU Intel offers costs $2000. Perhaps this level of competition will help them fix that.
It is the most used by far.

Smaller countries like China and India? Population-wise they're larger, and area-wise they're not two orders of magnitude smaller. My point is that the chart doesn't really show nukes "spreading around the world" but concentrated almost entirely in two countries. Maybe the US policy did nothing to help it, but for all we know there would have been plenty of other countries with thousands of nukes as well without it. I'm not arguing that the policy was effective or not, just that I don't see how that chart is enough evidence alone to conclude one way or another.
I think there's a lot of fascinating mathematical "dualism" in how many of those were developed at the same time together by both "practical" mathematicians (such as physicists) and "theoretical" mathematicians. You feel it is easy to argue that because the practical mathematicians had an easily defined "need" (hypothesis/experiment) they were the "leaders" and the arrow flowed from them to the theoretical mathematicians working with them, but there's just as much evidence in some of those cases that those theoretical mathematicians were already doing the theory building on their own and had a "need" to find practical use cases/outlets. In some cases we know the theoretical mathematician sought out the physicist to try to find ways to test a theory and were really the ones building the hypotheses. In some of the cases we know that though both are generally credited for "deep" collaboration after the fact, because they never really worked together and did all of their work in parallel and it is likely both would have completed just about the same work even if they never crossed paths. Newton and Leibniz famously never corresponded until after both published their own takes on the fundamental principles of The Calculus. Alonso Church had already developed the Lambda Calculus before corresponding with Alan Turing on the fundamentals of Computing and Alan Turing couldn't even share most of his practical work because it was still state secrets (and there was an ocean's distance in their correspondence anyway).

I think as often as not the "arrows" in the diagram point both directions at the same time: the practical needed the theorist to explain the patterns they were seeing and the theorist needed the practical to take the simple beautiful thing they were working on and make it practical and find the edge cases and complications.

That sort of "dualism" seems an interesting pattern in math.

Im not following the surprise or maybe incredulity of this sentiment. It's normal and healthy for businesses to shed poor performers and merge to create synergies.

We learn different coping techniques from different experiences. (Also, of course, autism presents differently in everyone.)

I often cow before CEOs et al because I sense them to have beliefs of immense self-importance. But internally, I know they're either not more important than me or they're more important in limited, specific ways. If I'm talking or acting in a situation where I don't think I have to appease them, I will talk about them as if they're just an ordinary person... because they are.

Don't think 6 million would be enough, the max temp and co2 levels of the Cretaceous was 66 million years ago, and the Cretaceous period was 145-60 million years ago.

That perioid may be a somewhat large peak in a co2 graph, making the current co2 increase look negligible. However ocean levels are also estimated to have been 50-100 meters higher than today at that period, along many other side effects.

And this is the important bit. All these people like Altman and Musk who go on rambling about the existential risk of AI distracts from the real AI harm discussions we should be having, and thereby directly harms people.
The debate about the "public intellectual" is a very old one by now. Most date the emergence of the public intellectual to the Dreyfus affair. I read the author's list here with sadness, thinking that the younger generation is being cut off from the history of an important modern phenomenon by youtube's algorithm. Youtube videos just aren't a good medium for this. Sustained, in-depth conversation across journals and magazines and periodicals was much better.
I don't think that your opinion that the prompt was not obtrusive is objective truth. Whether a prompt is obtrusive or not is very much a matter of subjective opinion, and I tend to value user opinions on user experience over creator opinions on user experience.

The fact that the donation prompt was shown on startup doesn't undermine the reviewer's preference for not seeing a donation prompt at all. They're factually incorrect on a minor detail, but that doesn't change the larger point.

The rudest part of the review was them referring to the prompt as "panhandling", which is actually inaccurate, and if I were writing the review I would have used a milder, more accurate word there (maybe "soliciting"?). But in receiving any communication from anyone, it's unreasonable to expect people to communicate perfectly, and I try to understand people rather than criticize how they communicate their ideas. I certainly would not describe that as "disgusting" or "appalling".

And again, I'm not saying you should remove the donation prompt. In fact, if you made it show up every time until a user donated, I'd have no objections. Users wouldn't like this, but you're not obligated to fulfill users' every wish. Just as users aren't obligated to fawn over everything you do when it doesn't do what they want it to do.

Believe it or not, users can want things, and you can ignore what they want, and those are both okay!

I think the foreign influence operations that aim to increase division in American society and promote equality of outcome are an attempt to counter it, not by outcompeting America but by hobbling it, seem to be somewhat effective.
Not idolizing, but respecting authority, is just a trait of smart people. The article doesn't provide any references linking it to autism? And common sense would suggest that knowing what others can do to you and how to treat them is a kind of social intelligence.
And that's my point.
I think putting any amount of tons of matter into stratospheric altitude is a hard challenge.

For sure. And that's what you can do if you don't want to work for a company but have desired skills.

For sure. So my question is why are so many unions on twitter advocating for every social cause under the sun and encouraging people to build guillotines? I realize this is an extreme example but its no secret that unions are very leftist and active.

>how is dealing with a union any different from dealing with the ad hoc cliques or unofficial software guilds, employee groups, etc. that spring up in a workplace?

If you don't like those things, you can work at another place. I know office culture is part of every business but every business has a different culture. You can work in software without ever touching a defense company. In a world where there's only one or two software unions, those structures would be inescapable.
