Exactly, that's why runescape and world of warcraft have adopted the marxist game mechanic of automatically redistributing all resources and exp between all players at the end of every day.
Whether we are looking at 1.5C vs 8C is absolutely enormous in terms of what policies we should be looking to enact. Everything in this discussion is shrouded in a cloud of uncertainty due to the complexity of weather, and the thousands of negative and positive feedback loops which can take thousands of years to stabilize.
Popular science articles misrepresent the science and ignore the variance/complexity, in the end hurting the cause in the eyes of those who don't agree with the prescribed policies to address it.
There is a debate, it's just not on the questions you're looking at.
Climate Change is by no means a 'settled' science, one of the most important questions scientists must answer is what the Climate Sensitivity is to CO2. There's a wide range of answers to this question by scientists, depending on which climate model you use, as well as many other factors.
That's good to hear, because whether people want to admit it or not, journalists misreporting studies constantly is one of the reasons why trust has eroded.
> theoretically, everything could be reduced to physics
Is there a thing as free will, and if so, is it explainable in terms of physics? And with consciousness (if you believe there is such a thing)? Is morality and ethics reducible to physics as well? There's a lot of presuppositions to the statement that everything is reducible to some purely mechanical process.
I have no doubt that many serious people believe as you have stated, but it's not a self evidently true claim.
This article conveniently redefines the definition of blue collar work. By similar thinking, are typists, receptionists, data-entry folks all blue collar?
> Coal miners are really technology workers who get dirty
Really?
I even agree with the premise that were going to see an increase of 'trades' style programmers assuming a certain classification of programming jobs, but the article is sensationalized.
I find it sad that some people don't believe 'Native People' are able to make their own decisions such as agreeing to having lithium mined on their territories. Extremely patronizing - stereotyping large swaths of people as incompetent, for what purpose? To push a political narrative.
A lot of people in finance spend their entire life doing the same work over and over. Same goes for programming. There is more to work than years of experience. Though no doubt there is a correlation, not everyone gets better with age.
Cool! What kind of performance gain does one get by computing the DOM Diffs in a web worker? My understanding is because webworkers you do not have access to the DOM, you still have a single thread doing all the rendering (main thread).
Communication skills are certainly important. I believe we both agree communication both at an organizational level, as well at a personal level is important.
My point is that as an organization scales, you will have many teams, and teams of teams even. The wishful thinking is that you can disband this entire structure because 'we hire good communicators'.
I noticed they found a correlation between living with parents and higher education, which isn't surprising, but I think they missed a big component of it, and the effect is certainly smaller than it appears from their visualization.
Higher education correlates directly with an older average age, what would the statistics look like if you corrected for the high-education -> older age correlation? The average age of PhD graduates will certainly make them skip out on the age brackets which are most strongly associated with living at home.
I can't comment on the validity of Scott Adams claims on being censored, but he wrote a long post about it. His claim isn't that the posts never appear, but that is there was a singular point in time when his 'influence' acutely decreased. I imagine twitter has a 'relevancy' number that is required for a tweet to appear on a timeline, I suppose this could be done by upping the required relevancy for the 'lightly censored' users.
This is wishful thinking at best, companies require practical thinking because reality is corporate suicide. Not everyone will have great communication skills - and as a team increases in size, this becomes increasingly difficult.
