  15. Re:slashdot at its worst on Sea Level Rise Already Causing Billions in Home Value To Disappear (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Why is that all dystopias and apocalypses are always predicted to happen in the lifetime of people hearing the prediction? You never hear about an apocalypse that will happen a few 1000 years from now even though we can do more to avert it.

    Humans have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, if not millions. How unlucky would we have to witness the last of us?

    Statistically Significant results are three times more likely to be published than papers with null results.

    By framing the hypothesis to align with your agenda, you can get anything to be science. And from that point onward scientific legitimacy is equivalent to political legitimacy, because all that matters is who gets to gather enough legitimacy by political means to frame the hypothesis.

    It would take political clout to grant money to only one type of hypothesis but it can be done, if you are a rich enough donor in grant-making NGOs or a rich lobbyist in government agencies.

    The great thing about this technique is that you do not have to ask the scientists to meddle with p-values and create data mining bias because that is prone to whistleblowing. This method is also resistant to meta-analyses and reviews.

    There have been cases in science where 40,000 papers by experts had to be considered questionable. It is possible for a large number of experts to be wrong.

  16. The world is going to hell on Planet At Risk of Heading Towards Irreversible 'Hothouse Earth' State (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    The world is always predicted to become hell in the lifetime of those who are making the predictions. You never hear about predictions that the world will go to hell in the next millennia and that we should prepare for it. It is like that anti-tiger rock in Simpsons that keeps tigers away. If you believe in it, when the world does not go to hell, you feel like the remedy worked, even though it might have cost you a trillion. Thus we averted skin cancers by closing ozone holes. We avoided a nuclear war which would have killed us for sure in the 70s. We postponed second coming of Jesus by repenting for our sins.

  17. ISP bad. Silicon Valley good.

  18. How about we just on Facebook Must Delete Hate Postings Worldwide, Rules Austrian Court (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

  22. The Way on Ask Slashdot: How To Get Started With Programming? [2017 Edition] · · Score: 1

    Read "The Little Schemer", and then "The Seasoned Schemer". Then read "Learn You a Haskell For Great Good", Typeclassopedia and Bartosz Milewski's videos. Write lots of code on the side. Rise above syntax and environment. Don't get into petty debates, opinions, and trends of the day. Avoid people and love automata. Perhaps one day we will discover we are automata too.

  23. The correct Sanskrit word should be Vimana on Airbus Is About To Build A Self-Flying Electric Robo-Taxi (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 3, Informative
