Seeing the tracking data report from mobile Safari was quite a thing to behold. There is quite a valuable service in LinkedIn, but quite annoying to use currently. Also had the experience on the mobile version where it just plain stopped rendering input text, which was quite interesting to type through.

Alright, point taken.

It’s pretty obvious if you look at the guidelines. These posts are highly politicized, covered by other news sources extensively, and do not spark/sate intellectual curiosity.

Just picturing some poor dusty little server in the machine shop in Tesla being the backbone of the company

A substack piece with woke in the subject matter, this should be in no-way inflammatory

The Spotify interface is absolutely horrid. And the Apple Watch integration makes me want to cancel my subscription every time I use it.

As a counter to this, consider the fire-season that is now yearly in California with increasing intensity. Living in the inland regions that are now routinely smoke-filled for significant periods is challenging, and provides strong impetus to move. This is both noticeable, and not fast progressing.

Got my towel.

I think this is key. Staying away from burnable areas while still having access to fresh water (untouched by rising salination levels) is a strong play.

Like weather and climate are not the same thing, there will be places that are more/less affected (but no-one will escape, I agree). The question is, given my preferences and the impending changes, where should live to most increase my happiness?

I am not sure I get your argument; we wait until climate change has ruined somewhere, and then decide?

For me, this is is a similar argument to COVID + vaccines. For some people (not saying this is you at all) there is the argument of: why should I get the vaccine? I probably won't die, and they are correct. But the quality of life for a lot of people will degrade substantially, and this is the core issue.

No we won't die from climate change, but wouldn't you like to be somewhere where the effects are mitigated if you had the choice?

That's a good point, but you run the risk of being burned out of your home. I think the emphasis is on "not too much", IMO

I think this is a “choose your poison” scenario. Are you trying to evade fire, flooding, aridity, hurricane impact etc? There is no silver bullet IMO, you have to trade off the negatives. Somewhere with a natural aquifer, not too much surrounding forestry (maybe high deserts)

It can join a long distinguished list of other things that don't make sense currently

Coming back from the grave with eLORAN

There are not. Modern Strapdown-based inertial estimators rely heavily on GNSS; if you want something that won’t become unusable after a few minutes then you need significantly better sensors. LORAN is an alternative terrestrial system, but to nowhere near the scale of modern GNSS.

I can’t recall too many threads where I have left inspired rather than despondent, but maybe that is atypical. In general though, are these topical news-focused submissions in the spirit of the guidelines? They don’t satisfy too much intellectual curiosity, and are well-covered by the news, so it seems like “no”

You could do many things, but if you are focused on performance you shouldn’t do that

First-class support for parallelism as a prerequisite for performance. Seems to exclude python, but pymc is great.

These threads invariably generate heat, and not light.

Talk about getting high off of your own supply.

> which arguably brought his speech out of the realm of futurology and towards optimistic science fiction.

This is all about as unreal as it gets.

> each of which can be aimed at individual targets once their launchers boost them into space

MIRV haven't been news for decades.

> Well, America has been surprised before, at Pearl Harbor and 911, for instance.

> Whoa! If MAD worked as advertised, there would have been no disarming first strike!

What on earth is this article? This genuinely seems like it was written by someone who learned about nuclear posturing 10 minutes ago.

> We could expeditiously return to the Cold-War posture of dispersing our bombers and tankers to numerous bases and placing them on continuous alert, armed, and ready to take off quickly based on warnings of hostile missile launches.

In the same vein as Operation Chrome Dome, which was not a resounding success, see "Accidents" on wiki.

Hey this is pretty slick - I think the videos keep playing after you have scrolled past them? Would be good if they paused. Also a skip/scroll bar would be very useful

Yes

> As a result we will put the tools in place to deal with other problems as well: corruption, mass poverty and so on. Humanity will emerge much stronger

I truly wish I shared this sentiment, but as long as the pain of COVID is not felt equally everywhere, there will be no resolution.

Didn’t know this - thank you

Don’t miss other installments in this series: “should cars be made out of cheese” and “are babies too young for the draft? We say no”

> I didn’t post or share this. Someone found it and spread it and that’s perfectly okay,

Doesn’t seem ok, does it? I guess I am confused. What does “didn’t post” mean in this context?

> We conclude that child COVID-19 vaccination in wealthy communities before adults in poor communities worldwide is ethically unacceptable

This is about prioritization , not about the vaccination of children per-se. fees like a misleading paper title.
