Re:I'd prefer a less beautiful superman.
It is just bizarre that studios would put so much money into the making and marketing of these movies without ensuring that they follow basic fundamentals of narratives / characterization in cinema. Zack Snyder is definitely obsessed with visuals over storytelling.
Somewhere in the writing process they forgot to make the protagonist likable. This analysis (one of the best that I've watched) points out how we don't connect with the heroes because they don't have believable motivations and they do not make any choices that show them to be interesting heroes.
Another analysis by the same reviewer pointed out how those movies are lacking in compelling villains. -

Re:A way better solution
The maybe best solution ever I've seen in Austria. Here is a quick comparison between US vs. Austrian traffic lights.
It should be noted that Austrian drivers are far better trained and disciplined than their American counterparts.
The problem isn't the light sequences, the problem is the mentality that thinks "yellow light means gun it" and "fuck anyone else as long as I get through".Basically, their lights flash green 5 times before they go to yellow, giving you ample time to know that the green period ends. Also, before switching to green, it shows red and yellow for about a second or two to give you an idea that you should put your car into gear and prepare to accelerate, thus improving the reaction time of people and improving the usage of the green phase.
All in all, a WAY better solution. Of course their law also says that there is ZERO grace period for entering with a red light. You have ample time to know it's going red. Actually, I don't even know whether there isn't already some kind of provision that you're supposed to not enter when it goes yellow.
The thing is, whether this works depends entirely on the attitude of the driver.
In Thailand traffic lights often have counters that indicate the time to the next change (no amber lights on these intersections). However the local mentality is that you can go for the first 3-5 seconds of Red and you can start to proceed on the last 3-5 seconds on red. This kind of attitude means that 24,000 people die on Thai roads a year or 36.2 per 100,000 pop, almost 3.5 times the United states with 10.6 per 100,000 pop and over 12 times the UK numbers at 2.9 per 100,000 pop (Austria is 5.4).
The lights here in the UK flash amber before green, this is a sign to most motorists to put the vehicle in gear and prepare to move off and by and large works quite well. However I'm originally from Australia and with the attitude of Australian drivers the UK system would only increase traffic accidents as you get two types of drivers at a traffic light, the one that misses it because they're on their phone and the one that's on their horn exactly 0.00001 second after it turns green.
Point in short, to make the Austrian or UK system work, you need disciplined and responsible drivers like you get in Austria or the UK. -
Re:Similar
I think they've done a good job at that by diverting water from the croplands to some fish somewhere.
This actually worries me more than AGW. And AGW worries me a lot. The situation needs addressed. But we aren't a country that can address much any more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
BTW, most of CA already is a desert.
Exactly. Its a situation where the weather is pretty good, lots of sunshine, OK soil, but not much water. They've wrecked their local sources and when you get soil subsidance like this, http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~... https://ca.water.usgs.gov/land... you've probably made the water table recharge either impossible or a tens of thousands of years effort.
Then we have the river diversion issues. Already the Colorado no longer reaches the sea. Most impressive to stop that river.
If I had a say in how water use in California is handled, I'd say you start with the Sunshine. That's not likely to go away any time soon. So that's good. But the next issue is that water. It has to be used better, and more efficiently. I'm seeing a lot of farming under glass, so to speak. If you are going to use water, you have to meter it out and limit evaporation. If you are going to ship water from another state, you need to keep the damn stuff covered. Gotta watch how we deliver it to the plants though, because drip irrigation is great for saving water but you eventually salinate the soil. https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/Inte... https://upload.wikimedia.org/w...

Re:Because you say so?
0.70c on the dollar has been debunked over and over again.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
The thing that struck home is a survey of STEM new grads, that shows a ~0.7 disparity as well. Seems like that's the most apples to apples comparison there could be, before things like family and work home balance start to factor in.
I guess she could be lying about all of her data though.
Interesting that she did note the observed effect of "devaluation" (as more women move into the field, both the wage discrepancy *AND* the wages decrease). Presumably this is similar to the effect of right-to-work law changes on union jobs strongholds, right? Which is not really that different than the H1b discussion.
I'm not trying justifying discrimination, but just observing that apparently the laws of economics don't give a rats ass about what basis discrimination occurs. Discrimination will help some and hurts others, but if the goal is to end discrimination, then to help others, you must hurt some. The net economic result may be higher, but probably not high enough so in the end somebody has to lose... Generally, some of those won't want to lose, so expect friction. Hopefully this is obvious.

The one good thing abut Batman Vs. Superman
I shouldn't really say "the one good thing" because I didn't see the movie yet so I don't know if there's more I would like...
But what Batman Vs. Superman did set up was a lot of really great ongoing batman/superman at the diner scenes the end most How It Should Have Ended episodes.

Re:This just in
Kung Fury review and movie. If a single person with a small budget from Kickstarter can do that, then Hollywood should be orders of magnitude better. As it is, I found this more entertaining than the latest Iron Man or other Marvel stuff. I may just have questionable taste, but while this is a cheap and cheesy feature, it also quite clever--the whole thing is a parody of movie tropes, doesn't take itself seriously, and ticks a large number of boxes.

Re:Fake news, see the MASIE data for yourself
Ice extent is the easiest variable to measure but can be misleading as there's no difference in a patch that 15% covered or 100% covered.
Ice area and volume are also very important but more difficult to determine but Arctic sea ice volume has declined dramatically in the satellite record and is 30%-50% lower than 2006-2007 -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...2017 - Fasting-Mimicking Diet Promotes Ngn3-Driven -Cell Regeneration to Reverse Diabetes
http://www.cell.com/cell/fullt...You can replicate the study at home with 4 days of a ketogenic fasting mimic diet every 10 days for six cycles with a %5 carb ( 20 net carbs of nuts/greens/dairy) / %75 fat (nuts/olives/fish/eggs/butter) / %20 protein (nuts/fish/eggs/greens/bacon) macro and 50% then 20% , 20% , 20% calorie restriction (the 3 day 10% restriction of the study on mice was extreme and not for the faint of heart). Throw in multi vitamin and probiotic day 3 and 4 and lots and lots of water with pinch of salt now and then/mineral water/coffee/tea during the fast and... amazing. You lose fat, feel better, and if the studies are right; get some nice anti-cancer, anti-aging, anti-disease, body regeneration benefits.

Re:very few new movies worth seeing
I blame the low-brow entirely formulaic dross that Hollywood continues to churn out.
I don't think that logic works. That would make sense if we were talking about older audiences who have basically seen all these movies before. But the young people who haven't already been exposed to all the plots and archetypes might still want to go see them.
I am not interested in movies (I watch few of them even at home) because they are all the same old shit I've seen before. Most of them are literally just remakes of the same old films, often with the same old title. A new director with essentially the same script. Why would I want to see that? At least make some different books into movies.
Hollywood is going down the toilet. They are still huge so it will take a long time unless LA falls into the ocean, but I've been keeping my fingers crossed for that one for a long time and it still hasn't happened. They will be able to hang on with superhero movies for a while yet, but their dominance is shaking.

I'm just surprised that dialing 999 (or 911) is beyond him.
His mother is probably on the young side of millennial - meaning voice calls are a rare thing, having been replaced by messaging and Snapchat. He may not even know what "dialing" means, but can ask Siri.

Removal requires a Raspberry Pi (with GPIO pins) and a SOIC clip.Decoding Intel backdoors:
The situation is out of control and the Libreboot/Coreboot community is looking for BIOS/Firmware experts to help with the Intel ME decoding effort.If you are skilled in these areas, download Intel ME firmwares from this collection and have a go at them, beware Intel is using a lot of counter measures to prevent their backdoors from being decoded (explained below).

Intel CPU Backdoor Report (Updated Mar 13, 2017)
The goal of this report is to make the existence of Intel CPU backdoors a common knowledge and provide information on backdoor removal.
What we know about Intel CPU backdoors so far:
TL;DR version
Your Intel CPU and Chipset is running a backdoor as we speak.
The backdoor hardware is inside the CPU/Bridge and the backdoor firmware (Intel Management Engine) is in the chipset flash memory.

Re:In Other Words
I also saw somewhere years ago a proof something along the lines that quantum systems mathematically couldn't be built on top of non-quantum systems. I wish I could find that again. Though its possibly-to-likely that it wasn't as solid as it sounded at the time or it (and similar proofs) would be pasted all over the internet.
Well, I suppose it depends on what kind of proof. One of the things about QM is that it is such a horribly complicated mess, mathematically - GR, relatively speaking, is simple: it's just differential geometry, give or take a few bits (not that it isn't hard enough, though). QM is so full of things that have the look and feel of rules-of-thumb or patches to repair holes in the theory, and the maths is still running to catch up. If it is something that interests you (a lot), there are three lecture series on youtube that you might enjoy:
The WE-Heraeus International Winter School on Gravity and Light: https://www.youtube.com/channe...
Lectures on Geometrical Anatomy of Theoretical Physics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Lectures on Quantum Theory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...They are all given by Dr Frederic Schuller, who is a phenomenally good lecturer. What I find refreshing is that he teaches the maths behind modern physics as the primary subject, rather than as something you unfortunately have to deal with to solve the equations. I think it is essential to understand the maths to understand the physics.

Re:This will be denied by all the idiots
Just to be clear, only a small fringe of the scientific community thought global cooling was happening _quickly_, at least by human standards.
Many more will agree that we are in an inter-glacial period and that if things continue as they are (which seems increasingly unlikely) we will enter another ice age... in 25,000 - 50,000 years. Which is fairly soon on a geologic scale but not exactly an immediate concern on a human scale.

Re:The devil needed an escape route
Not under that label (though I have studied some related material), but more importantly, you failed to establish any relevancy. Also, not even a nod to the original topic. Perhaps you want to suggest that logic will work differently on Mars?
Seems to me that you must be unaware of Godel's Incompleteness Theorem. Without checking the references I am aware that around 1931 he proved that no logical system of sufficient complexity can actually capture the notion of "truth". Gross oversimplification, but I'd recommend Godel, Escher, Bach if you're sincerely interested in the topic. Or even Godel's original paper.
Oh yeah. The punchline. You can fix the system by extending it. Unfortunately, every new extension is merely broken in a new way.
My point was that this Mars project is a form of political lie. Therefore the ontology of lies was relevant to describing what sort of lie it was.
Guessing wildly, but perhaps your point was some sort of knee-jerk defense of Herr #PresidentTweety. If so, then this recent video on do-it-yourself brainwashing is relevant, but it won't help you (because you are too busy brainwashing yourself): https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
