How big is the danger of polarization of society and further misinformation?

I do not doubt scientific method, I doubt people's ability to carry out scientific method correctly and without bias and agenda.

Relative number of lies/media sensation is inversely proportional with trust. Solution, reduce corruption, sensational news and lies.

Note: Sorry about unrelated root topic, I remembered a scientist attending "Global Challenge Competition" asking "Why people nowadays more and more mistrust authorities..."

On the completely different topic, I do not know why people asking why is there so much mistrust in authorities (politics, media, science)...

One day "coffee is good for you health", next day "coffee is bad for you"...

"fats are bad" next day "fats are good for you"

"microwaves are bad" > "microwaves are harmless"

"blue light is bad" > "blue light is ok"

"covid is just a flu" > "run for your life..." > "we can live with covid" ...

If "fork" and "shirt" are allowed I am fine. :)

You can still use any other language except English to achieve the goal .

I can see it from UK no issues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7lRV1VHv1g

I was expecting to see at least one joke along werewolves... (soft ware wolves... they turn bad on full moon)

"Chapters Closed - 5.9% complete"

Huh, that looks more like description of a very large mafia structure than a democratic government.

It would be interesting to know how lows that back inside corruption pass into being, and how does dynamic of citizens allow that to happen.

Serbia in EU will not happen in 2025, and probably not even in 2050. Corruption rate is high, and chapters requirement to get in EU are far from completion, some things are even more complex as status of Kosovo that simply wont be solved by 2025. So, Chinese and Russian influence will grown in that part of the world, which is kind of sad as the largest companies opening now are heavy polluters. although to be fair, some western companies as Rio Tinto are the same so ...

Poverty and more misery by heavy industry go hand by hand ...

But there was one earlier presentation I cannot find it, guy was showing live debugging of the video game. Not sure is it TED or one of conferences ...

Edit:

This is it:

His series production earnings are not important in this context as the main topic is how UK farmers have lot of crops/fruits rotting on the fields as they cannot find people to work.

Was trying to say that it is not easy to be a farmer, I watched few youtube guys in america saying the similar thing, earnings are tied to subsidies and also fluctuations in crop price, and can literally mean boom or bust.

I just wonder when exactly is the game going to change?

True, Star Trek initial release was October 14, 1986 while theory was there from 1934. Thanks for correction.

Second part is not that simple in global economy if you have Chinese cheap labor as direct competitors especially in the food industry where margins for farmers are already too low.

I would recommend Jeremy Clarkson - "Clarkson's Farm" first year of operation on a 300 acres farm made a yearly profit of £144 :)

So, after all, it seems science fiction writers are prophets in disguise.

Although, from "light into electron and positron" to "Tea, Earl Grey, Hot" there is a long way to go.

This reminds me of David Graeber's story on how during one of the pandemics, a plague killed so many people in the UK that those who left got rich by inheriting land and by increasing wages, as there was no one to work.

In the case of UK there was a superstorm of Brexit, IR35 change, and pandemic all in one - adding to the issue for employers. But in a way, I do not see this as an issue but a chance to equalize wealth. Either they will reduce their profit and increase wages, automate or go bust.

Is it good or bad? We will see over a longer period of time...

Syntax highlighting is more than the article is mentioning, it seems author comment is focused on old highlighters. Once when you get used to one theme brain is not even noticing, unless as shown in example colors are highly offending to aesthetic (the one in the article is hurting my brain). In modern editors as VSCode there is a huge range of adjustments. Nowadays we can do more than just see what are commands, keywords, increments ... we can see unused variables/import, mistyped variable, see bracket that are not closed, comments, etc.

With syntax highlighters can be applied same rule as with UI, pleasing interface make it more usable. https://www.nngroup.com/articles/aesthetic-usability-effect/

For instance if someone attempt to build something as "quarksplosion" how would they know without testing?

Questions for anyone who maybe knows answers: How likely is that there are nuclear weapons beyond listed in the article, something as Black projects? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_project)

Also I am curious, when new nuclear weapons are developed, as testing is banned, how do scientist know what will be the effects/yields/outcomes?

I mean theory is well known, but again in practice there are always some unexpected thing that can happen.

I remembered that in 2018 Japanese team manage 1200 T peak power. http://www.sci-news.com/physics/strongest-magnetic-field-ach...

In comparison, 20T does not look much, but again it is, I wonder with the Japanese technique what is the highest continuous magnetic field.

I guess waste heat stays but by increasing future albido more sunlight is reflected having cooling effect same as ice caps. Again I guess, it would operate in polar circle where water is significantly cooler, and convert solar energy to create ice, and re-use heat to additionally power maybe sterling engine, converting it further to mechanical energy?

Question that need answers are:

- what would be the amount of reflected light?

- how many of these in theory we would need to have any impact?

- what is operational cost?

- how much energy they need?

- dump heat does not need to be huge, salt prevents freezing, so temperature to freeze in salty water is -2C (28.4) and fresh water 0C (32F), so just by removing salt in some areas would create ice ... still it would be good to have calculation

How likely is that there are multiple smaller planets instead of one 9th, on the same side working as offset?

Erm, if you buy it, do you need to inform Russians and Chinese to delete that particular site as a target in case of the nuclear exchange? :)

California population = 39.51M

= 161,548 homeless [1] (0.41% of total population)

72% = 116315 people

1. https://www.usich.gov/homelessness-statistics/ca/

Somehow, I thought that figure is significantly larger, when I visited SF, CA - walking around town I could see homeless people everywhere.

Somehow I have a feeling that each passing day, things are getting tighter and tighter and private corporation and government institutions are getting more controlling and totalitarian. That feeling like slowly being boiled into 1984.

it seems that manual submission is necessary.

I like your proof of concept. I guess, next step would be to take google result, and crawl all their result and convert it into scores, rejecting in the process those that are going outside defined limits. Additionally, a weekly list of most infamous sites would be interesting to see, in the sense what people visit the most (probably social ad driven) but has bad UX...

Idea: What if we had a search engine that would search only web sites without ads...

It could have some type of "readability / usability / user friendliness rating" (score 0-10) ...

Issue is that there will be always those that will accept if someone refuse, for higher amount of money or bit of "nudge" (pressure). Let's not forget that even now we have black, gray and white hackers...
