modmans2nd··on A few words on DS4
It is really telling when people say that. It’s clear they think the job of harness development is done by selecting the agent environment.
modmans2nd··on I liked the idea of carbon offsets until I tried to explain it
Holland was (and is) a rich country that could afford such floor control systems.

When did the 90's invent a time machine?
modmans2nd··on I liked the idea of carbon offsets until I tried to explain it
Big farms use crazy automated machines that almost (or do) drive themselves. Maximizing output allows them to set the market price because to generate so much compared to any other grower (like OPEC with oil).

If farmers can't profitably farm they sell the land off to other interests or go bankrupt. People are not choosing to go into farming....at all. thus a bankrupt farm will sit fallow, be bought by some golf course development, or be turned into a "nature preserve", reducing capacity. The dots are not hard to connect.
modmans2nd··on Google's New AI Photo Upscaling Tech Is Jaw-Dropping
It’s probably a tool that could be used for generating a likely appearance for helping to find a person to interrogate, similar to eye witness sketches. I would hope it’s never allowed at trial though.

For identifying persons of interest from bad footage perhaps. Not so much for positive identification.
modmans2nd··on Climate change: IPCC report is 'code red for humanity'
How about makign a masive push to gen 4 nuclear reactors that can burn what we today call "waste" and then dump coal?
modmans2nd··on CO2 battery could make wind and solar dispatchable at a lower price
but the CO2 has to come from somewhere.
modmans2nd··on CO2 battery could make wind and solar dispatchable at a lower price
It's closed loop but where is it getting the CO2 from for the system?
modmans2nd··on CO2 battery could make wind and solar dispatchable at a lower price
unless they are getting their CO2 from capturing it out of the atmopsphere, I see this as a way to dirty up wind and solor even more than they already are from their manufacturing.
modmans2nd··on Delta Variant
The difference between 95% protective and 88% is more significant than you think if you live in a low vaccinated area. The more exposure to the virus you have the more likely it is you will get infected. It’s the spread we need to concern ourselves with, not just personal protection.
modmans2nd··on Ultrasounds Could Restore Human Memory and Reverse Dementia
What’s the hypothesis behind that treatment?
modmans2nd··on ‘Dragon Man’ may be an elusive Denisovan
Yep. They need that narrative to push superiority. Genetic be damned I guess.
modmans2nd··on A popular algorithm to predict sepsis misses most cases and sends false alarms
Prior to this algorithm most Epic customers had an alert for providers to check for Sepsis in a patient. In most cases the Epic tool is an improvement in over alerting.

modmans2nd··on You can't censor away extremism or any other problem
Being underground makes it hard for those wishing to spread it to spread it.
modmans2nd··on You can't censor away extremism or any other problem
Deplatforming it helps prevent it from normalizing in the community.
modmans2nd··on JingOS: Linux Distro Inspired by the iPad
Perhaps a less phonetically terrible name?
modmans2nd··on You've Been Referred Here Because You're Wrong About Section 230 of the CDA
Let’s not forget, companies still have to remove child porn due to other statues so a repeal of 230 would still result in theoretical liability.
modmans2nd··on You've Been Referred Here Because You're Wrong About Section 230 of the CDA
They wouldn’t have to stop moderating. Some assholes would sue them and the courts would have to decide how the 1A handles such things.
modmans2nd··on You've Been Referred Here Because You're Wrong About Section 230 of the CDA
Section 230 doesn’t give social media any more power than they have under the first amendment. It is simply a shield from nuisance lawsuits.

You obviously didn’t bother reading the article
modmans2nd··on Poll: Will you take the Covid vaccine?
I predict cynicism will predict silly things.
modmans2nd··on Poll: Will you take the Covid vaccine?
That only makes sense if you don't know anything about who is most at risk.
modmans2nd··on Poll: Will you take the Covid vaccine?
seriosuly? You're arguing that what they did was OK because it was a little above minimum rather than going after the stuff that will help people in the US? They bought 300 million doses of a vaccine that is more relivant to the developing world.....
modmans2nd··on Poll: Will you take the Covid vaccine?
I mean....Republicans have spent 40 years breaking government so they can prove themselves correct.
modmans2nd··on Adam Curry launches a new, open podcast directory
Qanon and the explosion of all the other conspiracies and hate groups who use the internet to amplify and spread their message is proof that the solution to bad speech is no longer “More speech”.
