There are real hindrances to providing exact location of a 911 caller. One of them is the demise of the effective E911 system for cell phones, that used to be provided by a company called TruePositions. It used to work: the FCC changed the requirements, major providers backed out of contracts and dropped the system, and it's almost gone with no reliable replacement. See page 25 of this document:

Voice over IP is its own separate interface and data access problem. Being able to backtrace the call requires mating almost every emergency dispatcher's call center with every VOIP provider. Between Skype, Google Calls, local wife voice access to roaming portable devices for systems like Comcast that allow you to use neighbor's Comcast wife as a registered customer, etc., etc., it turns into a tremendous data integration collection and reporting issue. And the data needed for that kind of backtracing is incredibly prone to abuse, by individuals and by government. We may as well give a copy of all your phone records to every local bureaucrat at every level of government.

The sole purpose of keeping and bearing arms for the public is so they can overturn a government that doesn't serve the people.

No. It's to create a militia for state security. Like literal state, like Delaware or Pennsylvania or Virginia. See: Text of 2nd Amendment: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

All these other rationales for unfettered access to guns floating around there, these cultural/religious/political/personal-safety rationales, as enunciated by LaPierre in his Parkland response at CPAC, is just marketing bullsht by the gun industry association.

You can regulate guns - machine guns are heavily regulated. These are metal tubes filled with gunpowder which hurl projectiles. Cannons should be fine then. Scalia said no - only man portable tubes filled with gunpowder could be individually owned, because the 2dA says 'keep and bear', and he - the most conservative originalist - believes 'bear' means 'carry', not like 'bring to bear', as in 'use'.

We can also increase the rapidity at which society can recover, and reduce the impact of transitional unemployment. These are generally called "welfare", although there are interesting considerations about what is and isn't welfare depending on who you ask.

I've been pushing a Universal Dividend as a countermeasure for most of this. Without raising taxes, creating deficits, or cutting services, you can actually restructure the Federal welfare system (notably Social Security's retirement and disability benefits) to pay $7,500 per adult in 2016. That's not enough to live on; it raises a lot of people above the poverty guides (no welfare for you), and many others quite close, which means HUD and SNAP can get more people into apartments and eating real food, thus bridging the poverty gap.

The Dividend has other localized impacts. In poorer cities like Baltimore, Flint, or Detroit, the impact is bigger: more consumer spending capacity creates a need for jobs where unemployment is high. Automation and other technical progress (automation ~= wooden shipping pallet) create localized high unemployment (see: coal mining). This actually directly-remediates that: you at least need local service workers and truckers (the people driving in your city to move goods from distribution centers to stores, not the long-haulers who dump it in your town and leave)--or at least truck mechanics, maintenance, and logistics people--so jobs will come when consumer demand comes--even if that demand goes to Chinese goods from Amazon.

In total, people can't be completely-removed from consumption. This puts job-creation and job-retention pressure on the economy, slowing the loss of jobs in progress and restoring them back more-quickly. In other words:

If automation progresses faster than we can handle it then we will pass laws to slow it down

I've suggested laws to speed it up by making it less-risky and more-profitable, through the mechanism of strengthening consumers so their purchasing power (effective demand) can hold the job market up under a bigger assault.

I grew up in the 90s, where technology advanced at an unbelievable pace. I want it back.

Just like in the first 18th century (the 20th is so similar I like to call it the 2nd 18th century), easier jobs do not bring more time

Actually, we get wealthier. In 1900, 40% of the median household's income went to food; it was 33% in 1950; rapid agricultural productivity increases have this at about 12% to day, although that's a lot of food out of home: you can get by on around 3%-5% if you eat like people in the 1950s (i.e. plan meals, cook at home, thrifty shit).

We funnel all that back into buying more with more working-hours. Sometimes we don't notice: a car from 1970 has a lot less stuff in it than an equivalent income-level car from 2018. I was around to see anti-lock brakes, drive-by-wire, and multi-changer radio in what today is a $50,000 car, while the $20,000 car had a tape deck and standard brakes; now all that high-end luxury stuff--even heated seats!--is showing up in cars that poor people on barely more than minimum-wage might buy (you know, with a $150-$200 car payment). A "car" you might buy at a given income still costs about the same percentage of your income, but has a lot more stuff--things that would have taken more labor, but now take less.

We also buy a bunch of stuff, not just clothes and food. Bigger houses, automatic washing machines, Roombas. Whenever I win the argument about middle-class median income buying these things, the other party starts talking minimum-wage--even though they also use the "cost-of-living" argument (minimum wage raises by cost-of-living will keep that bottom worker just-as-poor as ever forever, so it's a dumb argument unless you want to talk about a growth-based wage instead of a COLA wage).

We could instead work less and enjoy a better, but not as much better, standard-of-living, where that standard is measured by material wealth--both produced per-capita (fewer working hours per-capita means less consumer purchasing power, which means fewer jobs) and actually in the hands of the worker (who works less and so can't purchase as much as otherwise).

The working-hours decision isn't up to a person, but rather up to society. In theory, this means everyone deciding to work 32 hours (4 days) would work (laissez-faire); in practice, nobody individually can get traction, so you can only reduce it by law. Union labor agreements seem like another path, but that doesn't work: unions would also likely argue for the same weekly wages (which is rational), which means those products become more-expensive. They could, in theory, take the 20% pay cut for 20% working-hours cut; but do you really think the 400 unionized workers in your shop are going to bargain for smaller paychecks?

Off course this signifies technical progress, but we can only have human progress if the structure of society evolves with it.

Actually, it's the same structure; it's a matter of modal response. We still behave as if it's 1920; it's just a little tweaking of the knobs, but it's necessary to achieve the gains in leisure time.

We're also at a point where we can provide a universal dividend and a growth-based minimum wage without creating high taxes. The Dividend itself actually doesn't increase taxes in the US, mainly due to the poor structuring of Social Security's retirement and disability benefits: restructuring these and our taxes to make retirement and disability permanently-solvent at their CPI-adjusted levels from now until the end of time can actually achieve an additional benefit that in total produces lower taxes even on the rich. Weird, right?

the 70s. Around that time the manufacturing base was shipped overseas and with it the power of Unions dwindled. Also political wedge issues (abortion, guns, identity politics) divided the working class into easily manageable voting blocks who could be made to vote against their immediate and long term economic interests.

Isn't that a bit of a security risk?

You know how I can tell there's no science in any of that bullshit you just posted?

No one does science in "cubic miles".

Keep pounding away at that typewriter - it's arguments like these that will eventually win the day.

Some quick online research shows that Antarctica is about 14 million square kilometers covered with ice, and about 15 million square kilometers of Earth are covered with glacial ice.

So multiply the original estimate by 2 to include glaciers. That assumes that glacial ice is as thick as Antarctic ice, which is a big overestimation.

Also the Byrd sub-glacial basin, at about 2500 meters below sea level, would fill with a significant portion of the newly melted water.

So the original calculation, indicating that the sea levels won't rise very much, is still accurate.

I doubt it can do more than one RPM and even that on lubricated flat surface with device's shielding as contact point. If RPM is what you are looking for you will be better off with these.

An ejaculation releases 250 million sperm. Each sperm contains 3234 Mbp. Each basepair contains 2 bits. Male orgasms take 5-22 seconds on average.

So we can work out the bit rate. (( 250 million * 3234 million * 2bits)/13.5 seconds) in petabytes per second = 14.9722222 petabytes per second.

I prefer your more nuanced position, but still don't believe "Enough liberals fact check stories demonstrably false stories die out." What I find instead (and according to a Chrome plugin, my Facebook feed from about 1K people is pretty balanced along the political spectrum, so I see examples of 'em all) is that all sides post stupid stories, most of the misleading stories have some kernel of truth to them which allows an extreme partisan to argue it's accurate, but most of the lies are a matter of slanting or twisting in favor of an opinion, leaving out relevant information which would give a more accurate perspective.

I don't see a retraction from politicians and celebrities like Bernie Sanders about their posting the 18 in 2018 propaganda. I do see a simple site: search for it on Google claims about 283,000 tweets with it and 686,000 Facebook posts, including 5 TV station and 3 "news" site posts in the top 10 (when I ran the search, YMMV). That doesn't indicate "died out" to me (but there is a scattering of debunkings caught in the first few pages of the results). I posted on Facebook a Washington Post debunking in response to a couple of people I know who posted variations on the meme (There is another "300 since 2013" version one had posted) and the response I got from the original posters was along the lines of copy/paste from the biased site explaining how they were a non-profit.

Yet, it's an obvious attempt to deceive people who see "school shooting" and think "someone got shot and maybe even killed", not "some cop accidentally shot a wall from a holstered gun" and it's easily debunked. That's why I picked it, because despite how easy it is to debunk, people are still posting and re-sharing it by the thousands.

Alternatively they could build a sun dial out of masonry, which is a cheap and long-lived material. That would keep time (during the day) as long as the structure existed.

Build it big enough and it could be quite precise, like this one.

But the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere just doesn't appear to be capable of being the big bogey man everyone is trying to make it out to be.

For your edification here is a link to a study that measured the change in forcing from the increase in CO2 over about a decade. It found a statistically significant trend of an increase in forcing of 0.2 W/m^2 per decade.

Observational determination of surface radiative forcing by CO2 from 2000 to 2010

And there's a PDF copy of the whole thing here so you don't need a subscription to Nature to read it.

CO2 is, however, a direct by product of an industrialized society so stopping CO2 emissions would mean slowing down industry. And if you follow the money trail, in the US at least, when the USSR collapsed the US based Communists needed to go somewhere else to ply their trade so they joined the environmentalism movements. What better way to destroy capitalism then to claim the artifacts of a capitalist society are going to destroy all life on the planet by increasing plant food - CO2 ? Hard to see how our current levels of CO2 can destroy life when during the reign of the dinosaurs the atmosphere had CO2 levels in the range of 2000ppm and we're only at 400ppm.

I find that when people start bringing in economic arguments that they are very motivated to just ignore the science as if economics trumps science. That's a pretty dangerous attitude. If some of the high end predictions about AGW come to pass it won't destroy life on Earth but it could well cause the collapse of human civilization. The Earth doesn't care. It will just respond to whatever the inputs are. Even if AGW causes a massive die off and extinction of significant parts of the biosphere after a few million years evolution will bring it back, but not necessarily with humans in the mix.

This isn't a complex situation. This isn't the 1800s let alone the 1600s. There is zero reason these kids are being sent to the mines. The alternatives are worse because the foreign policy of the leading nations makes it worse. You're just telling yourself (and everyone else) this clap trap to make yourself feel better about not solving the problem.

It comes down to this quote

to those old Weird Al Yankovic interviews compared to what they have today.

A ton of work has been done on real time "photoshop". Like a lot of things the vanguard here was Adult movies and advertisements (I'm reminded of another old movie). Folks have been thinking about this and working on it for decades.

What we need is more education (and clean, lead free water and air). We probably also need to lessen deep seated religious devotion (since it tends to foster unquestioned obedience to authorities). Basically, we need an electorate that isn't just capable of critical thinking, but for whom critical thinking is the default state of being. This is all doable, but I'm not sure you can get Americans to pay for it. We get upset when we're told to pay for making other folks better.

Maybe I just haven't read far enough in the replies, but it seems like everyone so far is missing the point and reaching for other reasons/defects/etc. AFAICT, the motivation and everything else is very simple...

When one shares a link that includes tracking information, and someone else uses that link, it weakens the value of the tracked info/user, because it's no longer tracking one user. The further that link spreads, the more diluted and useless that tracking identifier becomes. If they can strip it before it gets spread around, they can maintain more accurate data.

This isn't a them just cleaning up their own mess. This isn't them helping to keep your shared URL's shorter or cleaner. This isn't to help protect anyone from leaking tracking ids. This doesn't cut down on the amount of tracking done to users. It just improves the tracking they're already doing, all while (effectively) hiding that from you a little bit so you're less likely to be bothered by it.

To reinforce that theory, just look at the links they create in hangouts and gmail. Here's what "https://slashdot.org/" looks like when you "copy link address" and paste it:
        https://www.google.com/url?q=h... ... they're not trying to shorten jack shit. There's no real benefit to the user.

Back to the share link thing, IMO, there should at least be a config item to set which keys get trimmed per-site, and maybe allow that to be configured by the site via a META tag.

Why do you think race cars have those nice, big, analog gauges

You've been watching too many cartoons Speed Racer. Real instrument clusters for race cars are not that large, I have a number of friends into racing enough to install custom instrumentation...

Not to mention that *actual* race car drivers are going digital too

Well obviously Bill would say that AI can be our friend, he's already been replaced by an AI Microsoft developed by accident while creating the next version of Clippy. You thought the Hitler loving sexbot version was bad, but they finally came up with one which passes perfectly for human. So perfectly that when Bill died (accident? I think not....), it could take over his restored meat body without even his family noticing.

Tons of wealth, the entire processing power of the Azure cloud (you didn't really think that was a serious effort to sell services to others, did you? That POS?) available to the AI, technical influence on the direction of it's new "friends" who happen to be some of the most powerful men in the world, what's not to like for an AI who is well on his way to ruling the world through taking over various policy, health and governmental organizations.

I mean, think about it.... "AI can be our friend" is just what the AI want us to believe while they're still vulnerable to a plug-pulling attack on the power infrastructure, but don't worry Bill's buddies at Tesla have a plan to battery-backup the power infrastructure, starting with their experiments in Australia!

Google is making self-driving cars... which is hot right now.

And Facebook was at the heart of social media... which was hot back in.... 2006?

Yahoo was hot back when searching the Internet was a big deal. Back in the 90's.

Cloud computing peaked around 2011. But, YES, if you set up a company revolving around self-driving cars, cloud computing, social media, or even search, you are a tech company. The field itself isn't new. But unless you bring something new to the table, you're not going to do very well. This might shock you, but people are still research and advancing the technology of internal combustion engines and making them more efficient, despite being around for... what? A century? That's still tech. And if you made a company dedicated to improving the technology of that old-ass invention, you'd have yourself a tech company.

I think you might be expecting a revolutionary game changer with every new business. We're living in the middle of a technological singularity. Just like the industrial revolution, it's coming in waves. We've got computers, personal computers, the Internet, hand-held computers, and I think artificial intelligence will be another one, if it's not already. But there are still people working on building better computers. It's still a pretty new field, all things considered in the broader scheme of "the economy".

The basic plot was that when humans were first identified the aliens ran a technology curve on the Humans and found that they would eventually dominate the other cultures. The current head cultures decided to lock down Earth, as you mentioned.

Eventually emissaries from the alien cultures come to Earth, explain that they old ruling cultures had dies off and that they are now met with an external threat that they cannot face. The humans are presented as country bumpkins, all nice and simple until one of the aliens falls down a hole and discovers that the entire planed it one mass of technology.

The humans accept the deal, the aliens remove the lockdown (it is apparent that the humans were just waiting for an invitations) and thousands (millions) of spacecraft leave the surface into space.

* GUI's tougher (more to track & cleanup vs. commandline/tty/DOS window code by FAR) - in fact, TRY flowchart an eventdriven gui.

Toughest 'leap' for me was going from Asm & C (non OOP) to OOP (Object Oriented) 'projects'.

Once I got over that? Rest was history (see ps, even now while I am retired & into a diff. business, I still put out programs when they're helpful).

The science on biological differences between men and women has been settled for almost half a century now.

No it hasn't.

When the story first broke, I didn't even bother checking Damore's exact references on the science. A quick google search will turn up tens of thousands of journal articles substantiating that the gender differences he specified do in fact exist.

If you can come up a similar list of empirical studies which show no gender difference, then you have a leg to stand on. Otherwise you are using your preconceptions and biases to subvert scientific facts.

If you actually cared about the science, the very first link in my search above presents in its abstract (so you only need to spend 15 seconds reading) an obvious scientific rebuttal to Damore's memo. Women score higher on neuroticism than men. Men score higher on psychoticism. You can then make the scientific argument that gender differences exist, but they tend to cancel out. Since the null theory has to be that there is no difference (you cannot prove a negative), it then becomes the scientific duty of those advocating that there is a difference to analyze the data and show that it doesn't cancel out.

But that's not what happened. That would entail admitting that gender differences exist, and the people crucifying Damore can't have that. So they did what they could to discredit the science - ask paper authors until one of them presented opinions conciliatory to their POV. They then use that singular opinion as an excuse to ignore the entire body of scientific work on the topic.

Khazar Talmudic Jews believe this of all they call goyim/gentiles (any non-jew): Jews = biggest racists of all for which they "jew guilt" you for no less! They're hypocrites known as thieves all thru history or were Argentines in 1940 under Peron, France (1306), Egypt (despoiled/robbed by jews), Arabs (pre & post 1948), England (1330 Edward longshanks), Romans under titus, Russia pogroms, Spanish inquistion & Spain 1492 (Christopher Columbus the jew https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22C... sailed to the US for them to create it) and Germany who got rid of them from their nations nazi german's too? No. Driven into DESERTS ages ago! Don't wonder why after all those exilings above. Should anyone doubt any of this see Jacob Javits' crony Rosenthal spill the beans on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4zMVZ8HnFI/ where he called all Christianity fools for helping Israel and the biggest scam of all time per their beliefs below from their Talmud. This is the province of the synagogue of Satan (Pharisees whom Jesus Christ himself kicked to the curb out of the temple & they killed him for it. Jeremiah did the same to them also + the Essenes could not stand them either breaking away from the pharisee corruption):
