in 2007 lehman brothers had an internal tome detailing the investments best suited for a global warming future. i don't remember that much of it, but one of the real biggies was pharmaceuticals focused on respiratory problems, claiming that this would be a huge early class of health problems related to global warming. somehow.

i understand that we need to retire 'fucktard' for being slur'ish, but let's be honest: being a 'fucklord' sounds pretty awesome. i petition we go for the slightly boring 'fuckwit' until the right neologism is found.

hn is not being that extreme in either direction in that debate anyway. there is a real point to be made that if we shut everything down for 18 months, which at this rate may still be the length of time needed, the poor and disadvantaged will get incredibly hosed over. as a pretty specific example i would be very unsurprised if a lot of kids from harder backgrounds never make it back to school again having had to survive a gap.

i agree with that post. it is not at all obvious how it'll all turn out, and e.g. having a generation of kids just not getting to go to school for a year will gently caress so many over in so many ways, and here "the economy" is actually largely code for the poorest and most unfortunate getting screwed over the worst. because US political discourse is the dumbest in the world it of course needed to be decided whether the left or the right was going to be the side in favor of lockdown. now that it has been decided that it is a leftist position the central idea is to roll ones eyes about ~the economy~, pretending that anyone actually rich is suffering at all from this poo poo, when the reality is far more grim.

uncurable mlady posted:r0 of 4, 2-5% CFR gives us an optimistic 2.2m dead Americans alone so no I’m pretty sure we need some changes in order to avoid like 100x 9/11s "some changes" sure, "some" things are already being done. again, taking the example of closing schools; something like 25 million children almost just losing a year of their childhood, but many of them being locked up in bad family situations or at very difficult ages. and that is not necessarily the most significant, just an easy example. the only reason not to get into how awful a years lockdown would turn out for all poor, disadvantaged, and just plain unemployed people is because people love to pretend that help will obviously be given. just start by arguing for the lockdown and surely the powers that be will be guilted into providing aid for the needy. the catastrophy is here, the lockdown can be used to change the nature of the catastrophy, but any more than a few months is a very very difficult calculus. i don't have any data or clear inkling to argue against a long lockdown, but the issue is that the data for a very long lockdown is not there either. not on the virus itself, but even less so on the effects such action has on the population.

i'll lay off the subject now though, i am sure plenty of people disagree, and i don't have some very heavy-hitting argument to add. it is pretty nice that yospos is not too deep into these kinds of rather morbid debates, so i'm sorry for trotting it out.

e: originally asked for context of the above, but managed to find it, and the whole thread clarifies the idiotic point pretty well (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23913295): foobar_ 1 day ago [–] No one uses mathematical notation for practical purposes. This is just like the medival music notation which is neither practical nor what modern composers use, which is more visual in nature. Infact modernism is a rejection of medievalism. I think in the future programming will force all mathematicians to code or give out simulations. Most mathematical notation was intended to be throwaway by the original authors, thats why there are so many notations. Trying to find relevance in them is a pointless exercise. Much like 80x20, tabs vs spaces ... most of the original intent is lost and what survives is guff meant for ceremonious purposes. foobar_ 1 day ago [–] What I am trying to convey is writing software is better than writing maths, just like medieval music notation vs modern notation. Programming is better than proving because most proofs are mere tautologies or artificial constraints. This is why theorem provers in code rely on term rewriting. A triangle has a sum of 180 ? Well how about if you push the triangle inside out. In code you can easily run a more complex simulation which gives you all possible values of the sum ... which is why ascertaining useful facts like 180 ad-nausea is boring at best. In fact most mathematics if it can't be simulated can't exist. Cybernetic Vermin fucked around with this message at 11:32 on Jul 23, 2020 |

i understand what you're saying, but i am pretty persuaded that it is indeed really useful to push these more restricted licenses. partially because it lets (the relevant) people get paid, partially because we are indeed getting to the point of most "open source" ending up being effectively closed when fielded by amazon/microsoft/google (and that being its primary use).

afaik it is indeed pretty good with unicode, notably it was pretty early and quite complete on unicode in regexes (which is not that trivial, beyond defining what word boundaries are, a more general idea of up/downcasing, there's also stuff like canonical equivalents, where some code point sequences should be treated as the same).

it can't be a very big problem for google, or they could obviously be more obnoxious about preventing it. e.g. actually set up the backend to not send you further video data in the periods you are expected to be viewing an ad.

Doom Mathematic posted:The problem is that "yellow" doesn't unambiguously mean "no possible human skin tone", it pretty much means "white person". See The Simpsons, and Lego people before that. If all emojis had been pale green or pale blue from day one this would have been less of a thing, maybe. yeah, and that is a real problem. as a solution multiple skintone emoji also has serious problems though, where lack of representation gets made overt when only paleish or yellow emoji gets used in some circumstances (e.g. media), or other skin tones only show up in extremely performantive ways. which might not be worse, but it is actually real hard to tell. either way that can of worms is fully open, so we'll see. it helps little to imagine going back in time to push for emoji being really cartoony and with a really unrepresentative color scheme.

eh, i think it is a pretty sound and reality-grounded kind of question to ask what the symbols you use to communicate actually mean, or at least how they are perceived. yeah you can just refrain from using them at all, but even then it is at minimum worth knowing why you're doing so.

living in a historically fairly socialist country it is interesting that the word conservative is not really used in politics, but when it is it tends to align with the american view, despite that not making a whole lot of sense. liberal is defined as you would expect from circumstances though; right-wingish and anti-tax and so on.
