The article referenced in this post refers hints at alternative sources of the CFC's that the researchers considered. That seems key to know eg. were the CFC's produced from existing CFC laden garbage in landfills (old refrigerators) that have suddenly released their content? But can't get to see that since the apparently publicly funded research is hidden behind a $199 publishers fee.
This is like comparing the stats of two teams at the bottom of their league standings. Who cares? Except for the obvious question: how can two of the most scientifically advanced and prosperous nations on Earth be duking it out for last place?
"hundreds or thousands" of years to recover? what does recover mean? it takes forests decades to recover if that. it would take hundreds or thousands of years only for forests to recover to the exact state they were in when the fire occurred but that's a pretty nonsensical definition because some forests would _never_ recover. words, the cause of and cure to so much misunderstanding.
That's kind of a given in data science. And causation has been an active challenge in all human reasoning. So the writer's bias is against AI, just scare mongering.
... we already have all the answers we need, ok? We know everything we need to know already about everything. Climate is changing, humans are the cause, and we have to make everything back the way it was. End of story thank you. We must make maximum efforts to roll back the clock because we have allowed our planet to change and that is not acceptable. Our species rose to prominence based on our ability to prevent change. Change is bad.
So we put the CO2 in the rocks... can it ever get out again? And if so, when and how? Is this not just a way of delaying the issue, making things good here and now and 'screw the future'? And isn't this just how we got in to this predicament?
It seems like the fact is that CO2 levels are higher. The climate may change because of it. Rather than trying to stop the change why don't we do what we do best and adapt to it? And while we're at it, why not plant more trees not to reverse things but because it would be a good thing, the right thing.
The only way our human understanding of biology has been able to progress has been by the brutalisation of living organisms. While that was understandable centuries ago in the past century (at least) there have been the tools in place for biology to take a more theoretical approach say, the development of mathematical models to explain and simulate living organisms. Yet instead biology has overwhelmingly continued to embrace crass approaches to the study of organisms using modern technology only to persist in the same observation-by-destruction methodology. What is it in the majority of biologists that makes this approach persist, that makes killing organisms or perverse experiments like the subject of this thread acceptable?
Biology isn't a science until it develops some first principles like say math or physics. Until then it is little more than butterfly collectors, mostly harmless unless you are something they take an interest in... then your life is forfeit.
Article makes no sense. Satellite resources are too constrained to be using something as bloated as Win95 OS. Possibly some ground stations are using win95 but certainly not for anything mission critical. And anything that involves jamming up or moving a incredibly expensive item like a satellite is mission critical. So, fake news, uneducated reporter, whatever; this is not a real thing.
Let's say the system didn't work ie. doesn't recognize faces in _real_ time. Would they admit that? Nope. Fake it with an actor. Put the fear of god (or cameras) in to people. And in future when someone gets caught, comb the video records for pictures of the person and claim they were caught _because_ of the video. Ultimately the system might be useful for retroactive evidence just as those systems are now but instilling a belief that they are 'real time' is a good way to prevent crime in the first place.
Yes the changes "... which _may_ affect biological productivity in the lake".
What they did was observe something and then made a WAG speculation about a worst case scenario. Is there a detailed map of the biological network of the lake with ground-truthed models? Is there a detailed map of the lake's chemistry and thermodynamics again with ground-truthed models? Is there even data from prior occurrences of this nature (yes the area was warmer in the distant past) so that they can validly speculate about the ramifications (not to mention the _fact_ that the lake has to have seen this cycle before and yet here it still is doing fine)? The answer to all three questions is: no.
Biology is 'science' with no first principles, continuously surprised by what it finds ("... bacteria found living in !!", "puffin beaks glow in UV", etc), and no meaningful way of predicting anything. Biologists are collectors and observers. Any prediction by them should be met with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Did not know that? Also how do they test to see if the crocs can recognize the taste of toxic flowering plants? Force feed them and see if they spit them out?
Yeah, Iranian universities, etc. cannot access most of the high end academic journals eg. publications of the IEEE. There's an embargo or some such. So some enterprising types likely figured it would be easy to just download a bunch of stuff à la Aaron Swartz or Alexandra Elbakyan and liberate it in to Iran (possibly for profit). Kind of a non-event in that light isn't it? They got caught and there's a big anti-piracy/anti-Iran lobby so this makes news... kinda.
Yeah Thomas Gold would not have been surprised. But that's because physicists have first principles and draw conclusions from them and think about what is possible. "Geo"-types (and esp. Bio-types) aren't scientists in the sense that physicists are rather they are collectors continually surprised by the unexpectedness the world presents them with.
... then you have lost sight of reality. This has to be one of the most blatant examples of public censorship. And the forces behind it have clearly revealed their degree of intolerance and ruthlessness. People should be frightened by this. If you are gloating then you are part of the problem. If you are shocked then you then welcome to a reality you should be very afraid of.
You need a 'code of conduct' for your event in Delhi? Seems to say a lot about the city/country and maybe that's really the heart of the problem as opposed to the 'open source community'.
"hard hires" are a self-inflicted wound. Multiple skills with significant experience are desired while expected to be young enough to work for entry level wages.
Unlike physicists, biologists have no 'first principles' to work from. No solid theoretical foundations. It therefore attracts people curious about life but averse to any serious theoretical endeavours. The kind of people who happily kill to 'understand' by say watching how long something can survive while utterly deprived of oxygen. 'Biologist' provides respectable sounding vocation for children whose curiousity made them experts at pulling the wings off flies, burning ants with magnifying glasses, and choking kittens.
Just saying that there is a lot missing before we can call this 'a good thing'.
Some cancer treatments are only 'safe' if you've got nothing left to lose. What do you do if your doctor says, "The tests show that you have very early onset ___ cancer"?
And how certain is the doctor? FTFA: "The algorithm guessed right 83 percent of the time."
Question: Has the health system has developed protocols to address very advanced warning of cancer? Answer: No.
Yay! Now you can start worrying sooner about that cancer you might or might not have while getting treatments that will definitely affect your quality of life.

Vandalism is very very rare in Japan. for sure wont happen in major north american cities.

Sarcasm in case you didn't see that.

Wow. I would like a look at the sports section of that news service so I can place my bets more intelligently.

Okay so now for the next wave, a windows version that runs in Ubuntu. _That_ would be nice.

Just a weird thing to read ...
Does your brain produce new cells?
The policy makes no sense legally or otherwise.

Does that mean that AI is undergoing a phase up? If nothing changes is it phase flat?
