...Granted, if you're in a collision with that pickup, you're more likely to die in a small car, but you're still statistically safer in a small car with a good safety rating, because most collisions are not head on collissions between cars...

Not necessarily.

I don't know any Muslims who are "anti" Christmas, though there was a class at our school that had to bad Christmas carols and decorations because of one christian family, I forget what sect.

Christianity had the best of European culture for the better part of 1000 years. Trust Americans to force the worst of it on innocent school kids.

I've been rather surprised by the shallowness of all of the discussions I've seen on this topic, even in association with relatively deep articles like this one from Ars Technica. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

My comment on that article:

How is it possible that the word "eugenics" does not appear in this story or in any of the comments? Or maybe I'm just more mindboggled than usual? Or people are just too afraid to use the word, even though it is obviously the key issue here? Too much study of philosophy?

If you approach it from the perspective of eugenics, then I think the key distinction is between active and passive eugenics. Starting with the passive side, I think it is relatively benign to say that people should be allowed to have healthier children, including their genetic health. We are beginning to know a few things about what that actually means. For example, I think it makes sense and is even ethically appropriate to allow parents to consider whether or not they want to have children with fatal TSD, debilitating sickle cell anemia, or even hemophilia.

People don't have to undertake those considerations, though the "natural" equilibrium solution is for parents to have four children on average so that two of them can die. Nature has a very coldblooded perspective. If the genes are mixed at random, half of the combinations are below average and half are above. Cruel Mother Nature "fixes" that problem by killing off the unlucky half before it can reproduce. Too bad that most parents would prefer not to see half of their children die, eh?

What we have in this research is NOT passive eugenics, but active eugenics. Even worse, it is in the form of gambling of the most dangerous sort. We don't know the real price of the lottery ticket and we don't even know how close the result is to the ostensible prize. If you were figuring the probabilities, then the positive side has a low probability and a low value, while the negative side has much larger probabilities and many large costs.

But there are human lives at stake here. Regardless of what degree of consent the parents may have been able to give, the resulting children had absolutely NO say in the matter, but they now have to live with the consequences. If there is any defense for this research, I haven't detected it yet. I could say much more against positive eugenics, but I've already spent more time than I can spare on this comment...

Even less time for Slashdot these days. That's why I didn't bother to tailor it for this discussion. The issues are basically the same.

If your entire existence was this, maybe nonexistence wouldn't be so bad. And don't give me your typical apologist bullshit, this is what industrialized meat production looks like.

And there isn't going to be 100M livestock just for fun, that would be the point. There will be some, just a lot less, and room for other biodiversity instead of homogenous farm animals is the point. And less pollution overall.

Your entire line of logic is retarded, bar none.

3 Feb. 2011: ICANN allocates the final /8 IPv4 blocks to the RIRs.

The RIRs in turn are running out too (ARIN is the RIR for North America.)

New ISPs are simply out of luck. They can try to buy IPv4 addresses from someone else or they have to do without (they can still get a very small allocation from the RIR, as address space is sometimes returned to the RIR and the remaining scraps are reserved for IPv6 transition mechanisms, but this does not cover general IPv4 use).

"I eat meat. Meat is yummy"
What an insightful comment! Here is a ball. Why don't you bounce it?

I'll bite. I eat meat. Meat is yummy. Your body has evolved so that things that are good for you taste yummy. By not eating meat, you are depriving your body of nutrients it needs to survive. Vegetarians and especially vegans have to be careful to supplement their diet with pills or sufficient quantities of specific plants which provide those nutrients. Thus indicating that theirs is the diet which is innately unnatural and unhealthy. You can make an argument against eating too much meat, but that does not translate into an argument for eating no meat at all.

The argument that eating meat is cruel is easy to shoot down too. If your reasoning is based on minimizing the amount of cruelty animals suffer, consider that the fate of nearly every living thing is to be eaten alive. It just happens out of our sight most of the time. But that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Living to a ripe old age and dying of natural causes (organ failure) is something almost unique to humans and the few animals we adopt as pets. Nearly all wild animals die young, painfully, and frequently with what most people would consider close to the "maximum" amount of suffering possible. In contrast, the way we dispatch domesticated animals for meat is quick, painless, and humane. So you actually reduce the total amount of cruelty suffered by animals by replacing wild animals in the environment with domesticated ones, protect them from predators and disease with our fences and medicines, then dispatch them painlessly when you're ready to slaughter them.

Then there's the argument that meat is too resource-intensive. That the world's human population is growing beyond the land's capability to feed it, so we need to start eating lower on the food chain. Except that's false too. Nearly all of the world's population growth is happening in developing nations. The developed countries (where most meat eating happens) have close to zero population growth; some even have negative population growth (their population is shrinking). So they're clearly able to feed their populations using the land and resources they have. If you want to reduce population growth, the key is to help all countries on the planet become economically developed. Regressing to an agrarian society is actually counterproductive, and will result in even faster population growth.

The only argument for vegetarianism / veganism I've heard which makes sense is the energy intensity one. You can feed the population using less energy per capita if everyone eats plants (even after accounting for supplements to make up nutrients normally obtained from meat). But the entirety of modern civilization is based on being able to generate more energy per capita than in the past. As a nation develops, the percentage of its economic output devoted to food production decreases. Since everyone still must be eating (the same amount of food is being produced per capita), that means the country is producing more energy per capita than before. And that excess energy is being spent on productive tasks other than food production. If there's plenty of excess energy, why not use some of it to raise meat if you want?

Note that if the scientists researching this are able to produce something which tastes like meat but requires less energy to produce than raising animals, I will have no qualms about switching to it. Less energy to produce translates into lower cost, so it'll be a simple economic decision. Contrary to the imaginations of vegetarians / vegans, knowing an animal died to feed you is not a part of the enjoyment from eating meat.

I think the damaging 'our bodies' is popular drivel. No peer reviewed research seems to show this. Meat/fat being bad seems to come from grain lobby and that there is not enough meat to go around if the general population woke to just how beneficial real meat was.

Yeah I'm on the Keto diet( less than 25g carbs/day; strict) and it did f'ing wonders. ~10 months now down over 50lb(eating as much as I want), skin conditions I've had for 10 years went away, improved BP, 1/4 to 1/10th the number of headaches. I use to feel like shit after eating a bag of potato chips, never the case after eating a pound of bacon.

if it isn't meat...

Ya. It's a "steak-like substance". (Says so in TFS)

Probably tastes like "despair".

Even in the animal kingdom this is true.

Can't "wait" for the inevitable day when Internet of Things devices get mass hacked.

It's already happened many times over.

Can we start calling them: Insecure of Things or "Insecure on 'Tubes" instead ? :/

Get with it, grandpa! It's called the Internet of Shit. ;)

You have Dr. Jon & Dr. Chris.

I'll will add, my main skepticism about the article was regarding the following: "Devices can be built on ultrathin glass, plastics, and elastomers... So they could be used in flexible and wearable technologies." Hmm, 35nm airgaps in bendable materials - that sounds like a recipe for errors to me

The bend radius for things which are "flexible" on the human scale is so large that there's almost no bending on the nanoscale. Same reason fiberglass bends so easily. Glass in your experience with human-size windows shatters rather easily rather than bends. That's because a 1 cm thick window bent with (say) a 1 meter radius results in the the two sides differing in length by 1% before it breaks. But if you shrink the glass down to the 10 um (0.01 mm) thick, suddenly you can bend it in a 1 mm radius before it hits your 1% threshold. And the result is glass which behaves like cloth. (If you ever get your hands on an individual fiberglass fiber, you can in fact break it by tying it into a knot and tightening until the bend radius becomes too small for the glass to withstand.)

For materials like silicon, the rigid crystalline structure results in shattering at very small amounts of flex.

And I have to disagree with you, the headline was click-bait. It asked a question which TFA does not answer. TFA uses a non-click-baity headline: "New Metal-Air Transistor Replaces Semiconductors - A novel field emission transistor that uses air gaps could breathe life into Mooreâ(TM)s Law." That makes it clear the future potential is unknown, whereas the click-bait slashdot headline implies you'll get the answer to the question it asks if you read TFA. The click-bait headline was added by the slashdot editor.

Unfortunately that's enough to make cycling more dangerous. If you have made teenagers, who go through puberty and are very self-conscious, wear bicycle helmets which are not exactly fashion statements, then you've turned them off cycling for life. With no cycle traffic to speak of, car traffic won't learn to share the space and treat cyclists with respect. Safe cycling looks like this. Normal people in normal clothes without helmets. They're not racing. Leave the cycling armor at home. Bicycle helmets are not a good idea.

A list of vindications for Halton Arp:

In most of these cases, cosmologists and science journalists point the public to ad hoc extensions of the Big Bang. Yet, their original model did not predict these observations.

1. Alignment of quasar minor axes (vindication of Arp ejection model)

"The first odd thing we noticed was that some of the quasars’ rotation axes were aligned with each other -- despite the fact that these quasars are separated by billions of light-years"

2. Numerous apparent interactions of objects of wildly different redshifts (not possible with Big Bang, vindication of Arp)

For example, NGC 7603, NGC 4319 and NGC 3628, just to name three. There are many, many more at this point. See the first part of the Universe: Cosmology Quest documentary and Arp's Intrinsic Redshift lecture for a more thorough treatment.

Of particular interest is the press release by the Space Telescope Science Institute - the research arm of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope - promoting the claim that NGC 4319 is not connected by a filament to Markarian 205, the object next to it. These press releases appear to be a case of scientific fraud insofar as they point the readers to visible light photographs from the Hubble instead of the far more radio-deep imagery produced on much less expensive, even amateur, CCD telescopes.

Markarian 205 was reported by Weedman as a Seyfert nucleus appearing within the arms of the lower-redshift spiral galaxy NGC 4319. Most of the argument here has centered on whether or not there is a visible connection between the two. Pictures were published with and without a bridge (Arp once said that he had pictures that showed no bridge as well, and didn't want to be thought lacking in observational skill). There was some early discussion of photographic proximity effects creating false bridges between bright objects, but it doesn't go away with linear detectors. Various reports were given by Arp 1971 (ApLett 9,1), Lynds and Millikan 1972 (ApJLett 176, L5), Stockton et al 1979 (ApJ 231, 673), and Sulentic 1983 (ApJLett 265, L49). Cecil and Stockton (1985 ApJ 288, 201) used CCD data from Mauna Kea to show that there is definitely some kind of luminous object between Mkn 205 and NGC 4319, stating that "Arp was correct in his insistence that his broad-band plates showed luminous intervening material. The opposite conclusions of his critics were - depending on their degree of qualification - either wrong, misleading, or irrelevant."

Arp commented:

"We realized that ... the people who had been processing the pictures and released it must have known that the bridge was there, and yet they chose to try to convince the public that ... in fact it wasn't there, and that everything was right with the current expanding universe paradigm."

3. Numerous instances where high-redshift quasars appear aligned with the axes of low-redshift "foreground" galaxies (statistics indicate this occurs far too often for a strict recession velocity interpretation of redshift)

Quasars, Redshifts and Controversies, by Halton Arp (1987)

"To summarize this initial chapter, I would emphasize that with the known densities with which quasars of different apparent brightness are distributed over the sky, one can compute what are the chances of finding by accident a quasar at a c

That's the nicest explanation for why "only 1.5 degrees" matter so much, that I've seen:

In nature, everything is in a stable balance of many dependent cycles, where everything is juuust right. Even for life itself to even exist.
Nudge one of those balances off only a bit too much, and the entire thing goes over the edge and spirals out of control. Taking things with it, that you never thought of.

To me, this is also the best approach, to make sense of "chaotic" behavior. (As in: chaos theory)

Only lossless cycles can go on forever. Everything that isn't in such a balance, is very obviously by definition bound to die. Because it means it goes towards infinity or towards zero. And that is not possible in reality, with its limited resources.
And we, as humanity, are the prime example of that. The "economy" is the most extreme example. Since it demands not only infinite growth... which by itself is already so absurd, a small child would realize it, ... but exponential growth.
The only other things I know, that do that, are deadly pathogens, and explosions.

I also don't see how "we", would turn that around.
I'm certainly pulling my weight.
But the loud morons once again go the ManBearPig route.

Good memory! Here's the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

What do they call people who use cars without wearing a helmet?

More than half of deaths within 1.5 hours of a car crash are due to head injuries: 46 percent of the deaths occurred within half an hour, 24 percent between half an hour and an hour and a half and a total of 90 percent within 24 hours. Of the deaths occurring during the 1.5 hours following injury 52 percent were the result of head injuries

Race drivers wear helmets.Helmets should be mandatory in cars.

Bicycle helmets are not designed for impacts at the speeds you claim to ride at and don't prevent the injuries you want them to prevent. You only think they do, which gives you false confidence. 30MPH in a city like New York is nuts, with or without a helmet. Cycling helmets are good for children or older people who tend to ride slow and have more accidents on their own where they fall off the bike. You know what proper helmets for higher speed looks like: Motorcyclists wear them.

And no, helmets are not required here or in most places in the world. In the Netherlands, where cycling is ubiquitous and safe, you will rarely find people with helmets, and if you do, they're tourists from Germany. Part of the reason why cycling is very safe in the Netherlands is that other traffic is used to sharing the space with cyclists. If cycling were seen as a dangerous extreme sport that requires armor, this wouldn't be the case, because people wouldn't be cycling. Cycling is normal in the Netherlands. Besides, head injuries are the most common crippling or fatal injury in car crashes too, so why don't people wear helmets in cars?

Here's a video of cyclists in Amsterdam, Netherlands: Count the helmets. Here is a video about cycling in Copenhagen, Denmark: Count the helmets.

I've run into a number of histories which seem to leave the "wrong" lesson, and so even though they carry with them important lessons, these stories are not widely told. The story of the invention of the rocket is probably the best example. The beginning of that story is like kryptonite for a lot of people, so nobody ever tells it. People should learn that part. It's like we are culturally trying to block it out - like it didn't happen.

"You're asserting everyone who bought them was told that. You have yet to prove that. It's obviously not the case."

You have two problems.
#1. You are assuming that I can somehow PROVE that my story is correct in any meaningful way. I am not in the habit of taking video evidence of people not following my advice. So NO I don't have to prove anything, the comment is anecdotal. Do you automatically believe people when they say they were assaulted? It's the same thing... anecdotal unless some evidence supporting the claims are presented. A busted nose is not good enough.

#2. People bought items from Best Buy, as in Best Buy was still selling these systems POST MEDIA STORM and still failed to notify customers that malware was KNOWN to be present upon the systems involved. Let me ask you this, if your local grocer was selling products known to contain salmonella would you want to sue them if they didn't pull that stock or warn you? Product sellers do have some incumbent responsibility here. This means that there is some culpability on Best Buy's behalf legally if someone presses the issue.

""when people "knowingly and voluntarily" buys a product they "legally" accepted something called "assumption of risk". -Sure, but there are still laws. They don't go away because of assumed risk generalizations."

You do know that once the "specifics" are out, that it is no longer "assumed risk generalizations" right? If you are going to argue your side you need to be more intelligent about it. The problem is specific in this case NOT general. When specific information is provide and you ACT upon that information POST reception you are "legally" considered informed! This means you LEGALLY accept the transfer of risk because you are informed.

Yes, people that did not know deserve compensation, but lets be honest... that only works for so long. Or do you think that it is okay for everyone to be walking around like mindless zombies trusting everything at face value?

"Anyhow you can say I'm lying but you are advocating above to halve the court fine based on a fallacious sub-legal argument, so yeah."

Go and talk to a lawyer, they argues this stuff all day long! You can even go and listen to one on youtube called Legal Eagle say the same thing.

So if you disagree with a REAL lawyer there is your chance to challenge one!

no. i'm not from tar budgets. I can't sing even a simplest melody.

One of their swords for coming is discipline of kung fu hustle for disturbing the peace purposes. In this case it's about surfing the waves of "one eyed is the king in the kingdom of the blind".

"It works for all those record company pricks" - Frank Zappa

Tinseltown Rebellion

From Madam Wong's to Starwood
To the Whiskey on the Strip
You can hear the crashing, blasting strum
Of bands that come to be real hip
And get a record contract
From a talent scout some day
They'll sell their ass, their cocks and balls
They'll take the check 'n walk away

If they're lucky they'll get famous
For a week or two perhaps
They'll buy some ugly clothes to wear
And hope the business don't collapse
Before some stupid magazine
Decides they're really good
They're a Tinseltown Rebellion Band

A big problem with roadkill in Tasmania is that Tasmanian devils are attracted to the carcasses. As they feed on the roadkill, they are nearly oblivious to oncoming traffic. You might think this will exert evolutionary pressure for them to become less stupid, but that doesn't work because they are few in number and have very little genetic variety. The are all nearly identical twins of each other. So similar that cancer cells can be transmitted directly between individuals with no immune rejection.
