  1. "Department of Defense" is always a good one, implying that our nations are never the military aggressors (as that would require a "Department of Offense").

  2. But if you're surrounded by round stones all the time, you will instead take the only jagged stone you have ever seen. Because what your brain really wants is something "special", something novel, this stone isn't like the others so it is important.

  6. +Detective Shaft Yes that, but multiplied by generations. Each scientist standing on the shoulders of the giants that came before them, further adding to the knowledge discovered by their scientific predecessors, so that someone in the future may stand on their shoulders too and continue the work. The generations go by, each taking another further stab at the immortal beast that we call Ignorance, it gets constantly weaker but it will never truly die.

  10. I've been reading Ben's blog for a while, and one of his top solutions to these problems (that he apparently didn't have the time to discuss too much in this video) is that all publishable drug trials should be PRE-REGISTERED with some central scientific body before the trial is even done. This way, it removes publication bias - where bad results are withheld. And it also allows other scientists to publicly suggest alterations to the trial method to weed out problems & bias beforehand.

  11. Things come half charged outof the box because lithium ion batteries last longest if they are kept in a half-charged state. To keep a lithium ion battery in a fully charged state for a long time (like during shipping, and while sitting on a store shelf), will damage the battery and reduce it's lifespan. So I guess Apple likes to purposefully sabotage it's products. Neat

  12. 2:35 Snowden's revelations about how much USA was spying on everyone: 2013 That year, cyber-warfare went straight to the top of USA's "threat' list. What a coincidence. It's like... shining a light on cockroaches and they skatter, then they immediately put lights onto their threat list as #1.

  13. i think he's saying that it can be cheaper to live in walkable cities. Cars are expensive to buy, maintain, insure, licence, and keep fueled. Also walking around a city is quicker than driving long-distances around express-ways (and time is money). Your location itself, and reliance on cars, may be exacerbating your financial situation. Hell, you'll even save money on medical expenses: Less car crashes means less visits to the trauma ward. And you'll be healthier in general from walking.

  18. This fish lives at 55 bars of pressure, when you bring it outof the water it's suddenly only at 1 bar of pressure, a difference of 54 Bars.  It's eyes bulge etc, yet it doesn't explode. When a human is exposed to the vaccuum of space, it's a drop from 1 bar of pressure to 0 bar of pressure, a difference of only 1 bar.  Compare that to the immense 54 bars difference that the fish goes through.  This is why a human exposed to the vaccuum of space does not explode, it's just not enough of a pressure difference.  Humans exploding in space is just a myth.

  23. +Locutus D'Borg Indeed. To quote Douglas Adams: Imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, "This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, may have been made to have me in it!" This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for. We all know that at some point in the future the Universe will come to an end and at some other point, considerably in advance from that but still not immediately pressing, the sun will explode. We feel there's plenty of time to worry about that, but on the other hand that's a very dangerous thing to say.

  24. 2:40 her eyes wern't closed. The problem is that it sees the holes in the mask and that is a big red flag. If they filled in the eyes properly it would have worked.
    29
  25. "it's never failed once in the 40 years of trail" This is a science red-flag right there.  In reality everything fails sometimes due to random freak occurrences, so when something never fails in a trial it's generally indicative of fudged numbers.

  26. Huntracony The quality and style of the videos he's showing, betrays that this is a marketing presentation. 11:15 especially, looks like the highly polished style of a Microsoft advertisement. I'm not sure that a university would pay to have such a video made, so something's suspicious here. Polished marketing should always make you suspicious.

  29. Yes, and it tries really hard to reinforce the American Mantra that "people are successful because of hard work, not luck". But really - even successful scrappers are successful because of luck. Yes, being born with a silver spoon in your mouth is a lucky break. But it's also incredibly lucky to experience an upbringing which naturally fostered psychological resilience. Note around 8:44 where her story admits "i was lucky" as she talks about the supportive early environment she had in her own life. Isn't this just another form of silver spoon? She certainly didn't get that supportive early environment because of "hard work", she was lucky. Just something to keep in mind.

  38. Aristotle wasn't wrong.  The apparently "empty" bubble in a barometer is infact not a vacuum, it is filled with vapours of the liquid under it.  The liquid surface under that empty gap boils away into the gap until the gap's pressure has raised to the liquid's vapour pressure, it's not a vacuum.  Because - just as Aristotle said - nature really does abhor a vacuum. If you got 2 barometers, each filled with different liquids of the same density but differing vapour pressures, they will give different results.  Weight (more accurately density) is not the only factor.

It's especially sinister when U see rich people being the ones lobbying for those funding reductions in the first place - setting up the system how they want it 😑. I'm honestly not sure if Gates qualifies as this, I'd kinda doubt it since a lot of his interests (public health) have notably bad outcomes when private industries are in control, & he seems to be a pretty data oriented guy.

To me, it seems to be a talk about racism, and staying aware of it in our psyches, basically a reminder that "We're all a little bit racist".  The "agenda" of the talk seems to be to stay aware of racism, how is that political?  Is there a big American political party that disagrees with this?  Who on earth would have a political agenda COUNTER to this message?!

  55. Her illustration of Steve Jobs kindof undermines her point. "Would you hire this guy?" No, no-one hired Steve Jobs, he started his own business. (you don't hire yourself when you start the business) A social worker once told me that small businesses are quite often started by people who are simply difficult to hire into traditional jobs. So starting their own business is a way for them to have a guaranteed job.

  58. Just chemistry. Really complex & cool chemistry. This sort of single-cellular death is happening inside U to a part of you at all times, but the greater "you" goes on. And even when we die too, the greater them continues on, society/culture, species, ecosystems. There so much greater that we too are just a part & process within, which continues on after we redissolved back into our surroundings too. It's just real weird how our chemical bodies form memories tho, seems kinda pointless if the memories just erase again & again everytime the chemical body dies, but I guess it makes the chemical selves more effective during each life. It's like a beautiful natural artwork that gets destroyed every life, then the next thing replaces it with a new artwork. I guess nature has no real need to preserve beauty, it still makes it tho, just over & over & over again like it's nothing 😅

  60. 6:56 "of the same weight" But because aluminium is so light weight, that equivalent weight battery would be GIGANTIC in the space it takes up. It's like the "1 ton of feathers vs 1 ton of rocks" question, 1 ton of feathers takes up a LOT of room! The more realistic scenario would be a car with an aluminium battery of the same energy capacity as lith-ion, and probably taking up the same sized space (coz easy swapability will increase the size), but simply lighter weight. If this ever becomes a thing it'll be a bolt-on "500 km range extender" for your normal rechargable lith-ion electric car, that you return once it's used up. It's sort of like a 1-time use "jerry can" you'd use for trips out to the middle of the Australian outback.

  64. +Axel Maikano In my experience one of the things that defines someone with Narcisistic Personality Disorder (NPD), is an inability to acknowledge the problem. They will never accept it. People who grow up around others with NPD tho, often pick up a lot of the traits themselves, but as they grow up they are more often willing to identify the problems and improve. In support groups they call these picked-up traits "fleas". The basic rule is that if you read about Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and get really worried that you have the condition yourself, then this very ability to question yourself means that you probably don't have it. People with NPD find the idea that they're flawed so utterly acceptable, that the thought doesn't get very far at all before being completely rejected. I'd recommend /r/raisedbynarcissists subreddit (and the various associated subreddits)

  68. The fire piston also requires dry tinder to catch, it is not a method which doesn't require something dry, pretty much all of the methods require something dry to catch fire. It was common to carry around your own set of fire starting sticks, which you'd use to start a friction fire when required. So no matter the method, everyone was carrying their fire-making equipment with them, not really just making fire from whatever tools they could find/make locally. Carrying your own set of pre-built tools was always preferred, in all circumstances.

Jarret's main point isn't about the glory of the job, his main point is about media representation.  It's good for people to see positive representations of aspects of themselves in the media, it has a positive psychological effect.  It's like seeing non-white people, gay people, and women on TV playing good character roles. No-one likes being invisible.

So surreal.  Anthony thinks tights pants are "disgusting", well that's ok but here's a small question:  Who told Anthony that he was God?  Who told him that Anthony's taste = God's taste?  Coz this certainly isn't from the bible, unless we secretly replaced the Bible with 'The Book of Anthony's Personal Most Favourite Things'. What else doesn't Anthony like?  Will his next sermon be about how disgusting he thinks the taste of Anchovies is?  Maybe his favourite colour is red, and we'll soon have a sermon about how disgusting the colour blue is. Surreal, just... surreal.

  83. The problem is that the only people who use Internet Explorer are doing so because they have no idea howto use technology. No-one who knows better will willingly use Internet Explorer. So the medical search results Microsoft has gathered are probably associated only with those who are over 60 years old and/or have low IQs. It's probably still useful, but it's a statistical problem. Coincidentally, having diabetes actually kills a certain amount of your IQ points for every year you have it (sad fact). So all combined, there could be some very interesting studies to be had here. Diabetes causes you to use Internet Explorer? Maybe. (i don't.... but maybe in a few years something deep in my diabetic brain will compel me to. I really hope someone cures this disease before Internet Explorer gets me, i'm scared.)

  102. justgivemethetruth No offense, but the same can be said of you, ie: how do we know you're really "understanding" anything?  This is the base problem related to the Turing test, if you say that a computer doesn't do a specific thing and is therefore different to a human - you must have a way of testing to prove that humans indeed DO that thing (as you claim they do).Are you sure that human learning is anything more than "a consolidation of statistics with rules applied to them"?ps: there was an interesting A.I. program a few years ago which was being fed a stream of data from a real-world inverse pendulum physical experiment.  From analyzing the data on it's own it was able to FROM SCRATCH deduce various mathematical laws of physics concerning gravitation, inertia, friction, air resistance etc to explain the movement it was seeing (and predict future movement).  It came up with these equations on it's own, continually refining them until they were passably accurate, using evolutionary methods.  It even seemed to discover some new mathematical equations to explain aspects of the inverse pendulum movement, equations which we didn't recognize and yet gave eerily accurate results.  This was pretty amazing, the system not only reproduced thousands of years of human thought and science in mere minutes, it actually went further and hinted at surpassing human knowledge.

The evidence that hiding-unicorns exist, is when you can't see them.  That's how you know they are there, hiding. There's never not a hiding-unicorn, every atom contains hiding unicorns, they are always there. There is no way to disprove my hypothesies, i will always believe.

  111. 5:29 "The idea that they can be privy to some secret information that even relevant experts can't (or refuse to) understand." This is the aspect that always confuses me the most. The fact that these people think that they - with their ZERO education - know more than experts, experts who are passionate enough about the field to dedicate years of their life to university, because they are THAT passionate about knowing as much as they can about the field. What do they think students DO all day in university? Chant mantras? Now my goto question for these conspiracy theories is to simply ask the person: "Where did you hear/read that from? How much has the author studied the subject? Do they know what they're talking about?". It generally reveals that they didn't consider questioning the authority of whoever they heard the conspiracy from. I mean, i remember anti-evolution books published by Jehovah's Witnesses, and you ask "who wrote these?" and they can't tell you, so you just ask "So why assume they know what they're talking about? This could have been written by anyone off the street, with almost no proper understanding of biology at all."

  113. Astrology and Tarrot are metaphor. They bring together metaphors for aspects of our lives, and shuffle them in random ways. The power of metaphor forces us to consider the interpretations as if they were real - even though they are random - and thus it can expand our minds to possibilities we never thought about. Possibilities that are so random that we would normally dismiss them as noise, this way we harvest this "noise" to inspire us to break outof a life funk, or writers block, etc.

  114. ***** If we could devise a test to identify good vs bad voters, then we wouldn't need democratic processes at all, as the test would also identify good and bad policies. Obviously such a test is impossible. It's as rediculous as having comedians pass a test of "what is and isn't funny", it's completely subjective, always dynamic with the culture, changing constantly, it simply can't be done. Also those who control/write/maintain/etc the test would become the defacto rulers of society, so the test itself would become the primary target for those who wish to exert political influence, it's just moved the goalposts. Democracy's advantage is that it can change as fast as popular opinion can, the government is never outof line with it's voters for longer than 1 election cycle (generally less). As society changes, nothing in democracy has to be re-designed to adapt, it adapts itself.

  115.  @ctmalton1513  it's Entitlement because it's starting with the assumption that a country deserves to attain whatever it's interests are, even if they have to steal them. It's starting with the assumption that the country's interests already belong to them automatically, and thus any action taken to aquire those interests from another person or country are instead categorised as "taking them for their rightful owners". The Entitlement is the incorrect implication that you are it's rightful owner, the word defence implies that you're not the aggressor but are instead merely defending the status quo, the status quo in this case being the wacky assumption of "everything that i want, is automatically mine, and i am justified in taking it from anyone else". But to take things that aren't yours isn't "defence", it's stealing. If i want your car so much that i steal it, no-one says i was defending my interests, they say i stole it.

  116. This made me think a lot about active structures, like buildings that require a constant stream of energy to maintain their shape, if they lose power they literally fall over. Or like what might be required to build space elevators.  Or even the "structural integrity field" that helps spacecraft stay together in startrek. In this video you can see that each individal pulse of the subwoofer breaks and then reflows the strucuture of the blob, like a self-healing material.  I do wonder if you could build larger structures outof dilatent fluids like this - coupled with some kindof vibrators (ie: electronic quartz timers).  The advantage would be the material could self-heal, and by adjusting the vibration you can put it into a mode that allows it to be re-formed into other shapes - then adjust the vibration back and it will be re-locked into it's new shape.

  118. 8:50 - 11:10 The Spirometer story was so strange. The clear conclusion i got from the story is that different races do indeed have differing lung capacity, as the clinical evidence for this is so strong, so undeniable, and so predictable that they actually added a button to the device to automatically compensate for this. If race based lung capacity wasn't as predictable as it is, then the button would only make the device worse. But this is a device designed specifically for testing and data collection, people would have noticed pretty fucking fast if the results were wrong, it's the entire purpose of the device. I mean, if she presented evidence that the results and data from the device were actually incorrect then they'd have a point. But she presented no such data. Before this talk i had never even heard that different races had different lung capacities, but (opposite to her intention) her talk actually convinced me that different races do indeed have differing lung capacity. How can i argue against data?

He's looking at the types of MicroRNA (miRNA) in the blood.  It's kindof like searching through the local landfill, analyzing people's thrown-out paperwork and reciepts, to get an idea of how many people are (for example) actively committing tax fraud.  Every activity has a specific signature.  If you find a lot of receipts for paints and paper, you may conclude that there's a lot of artists in the area.  If you find a lot of receipts for bullets and bombs, maybe you've got a military situation on your hands. MicroRNA is like the thrown-out paperwork.  By analyzing it, you can figure out what the cells in the body are doing.  Different types of cells emit specific signatures or patterns of MicroRNA, and cells with cancer also have specific signatures. The various vials in his device each contain a unique mix of chemicals which only react with specific types of MicroRNA, if you add that MicroRNA into the vial it will glow, how fast and how bright it glows can tell you how much of the MicroRNA is in the vial.  The camera then looks at the vials, in a controlled lighting environment (that's why it's in a closed box).  This allows the speed and brightness information of the vials to be converted into simple data, which can be graphed.  The graph is like a signature, which tells you if you have cancer, and what type it is. Over time, we'll discover more signatures, and be able to identify more cancers.

  123. The handy thing about the world is that there's multiple nations that decidedly don't look out for each-other, but do have the tech & resources to gather/steal secrets from each-other. So nations can quite happily leak each-other's secrets to the public, for the purposes of publicly embarrassing each-other. That is - unless the nations wish to use the information for blackmailing each-other, or mutual trading of such secrets. TL;DR: If USA had an ion cannon up there, Russia and China probably would likely have the ability to spot it & would have spilled the beans. Unless they're all mutually agreeing to keep eachother's secrets, and ALL secretly have all sorts of weapons up there, urgh.

  136. This does a disservice to evolution education >:( Bees don't decide anything, it's in their genes, it's instinctive.  As bees (like all life) reproduce there is variation in each offspring, like a bit of experimentation.  If the new bee's slightly different instincts make it build a hive which is slightly stronger and better, then the bee will survive better, and this means it will reproduce better - it's kids will carry the genes to build the better hives. Whereas if the variation gave the bee the instincts to build a worse hive, then it will survive worse, it might die without having any kids at all, so the genes will not be passed on.  Thus bad experiments get eliminated and good experiments become the next generation, so each generation is slightly better at building hives than the last was.  Bees that can't build good hives DIE, and the only ones left are the ones who build good hives, that's the bees we're seeing - the ones who were lucky enough to be born with the right instincts, everyone else is dead. The bees don't think about it or decide anything, they're just born with a slightly experimental variation in their instincts which either helps them live or die.  DEATH is the one making the decisions, not the bee :(

  137. 1:45 >"i decided i try to print an entire fashion collection from my home. The problem was that i barely knew anything about 3D printing". facepalm Something that's confused me for a while is why we even refer to these artists as "professionals". If i decide to make something, that i have absolutely no idea howto do, then i'm described as a "layman". But this artist does the same thing, she has the exact same lack of necessary skillsets, and she's called a "designer". I mean, an architect knows their material and howto make buildings from them. A mechanical engineer knows their material and howto make machines outof them. If you have been trained in a profession where you know nothing about your chosen medium (lol how do i 3d print things?!), then of what use was your training? How would your results be of a higher quality than that of any other layman hired off the street? Maybe that came out as more negative than i intended. I'm just confused why we elevate these people to a class label like "Artist", put them on stages, listen intently to what they have to say, when they clearly deserve no more respect nor attention than any other layman. Why is it a thing? Don't get me wrong - what she's doing is indeed quite cool & interesting, but it's no more interesting than what any other maker is doing *, why has she been elevated to a higher status class? *infact less so, because other makers tend to know their mediums and thus more often are really pushing the boundaries of what's possible. All this artist is doing is buying off-the-shelf 3d printers & flexible filaments and repeating what others have already done, why does she bother? But more importantly - if this is so banal and derivative, why do we bother listening? Shouldn't our time be better spent listening to those who know their medium and are truly pushing the limits? TL;DR: TED your entire stage is broken.

You're taking it for granted just how useful they are already in your everyday life. I can do a significant amount of my non-computer work with my eyes closed, because my environment is rich with tactile cues, i don't have to look at everything. Do you know how hard it would be to change gears on your car, if your hand was numb? You'd have to take your eyes off the road everytime. You can type without looking, but you can't type without looking if you can't feel the edges of the keys on your keyboard. What if everything you did on the computer was like that, if you could feel the edges of every button you click, if you could grab a window and feel the edge of it, feel it's resistance as you move it to the other side of your workspace. These sorts of things greatly speed up everything you do on a computer, a 50minute task turns into a 10 minute task.

  140. ***** yes, as i said it's: >"generally indicative" ie: it's a red-flag.  When people search for bad science, these are the types of initial clues they look for.  It makes it suspicious, but a more indepth analysis of the research is obviously required before reaching a conclusion. What i wanted to point out was that "never failed" might seem like a positive point, but in science it's actually a negative point.  Given the amount of bullshit and bad-science in our world pretending to be real science, when you see that a trial has "never failed", you should probably just assume that the whole trial was bullshit and move on.  It's actually a rather common occurrence, it's why the respected science journals are so careful with what they choose to publish, there's lots of charlatans out there trying to subvert the system.  Most "science" that laymen are exposed to on a day-to-day basis (ie: filtered through journalists & reporters) is actually bullshit.  Headlines routinely spout the exact opposite of what the actual science says, journalism is utterly horrifying.

And it honestly hadn't ever occured to me that all of our insect movies were being cast with the wrong genders, it kinda blew my mind. I mean, the main characters in both the Ants movie, the A Bugs Life movie, and Bee Movie were male - but in reality they would have been female drones*. I can't believe i'd never considered this before, but it's so obvious now that it's been pointed out. (*that is, if you consider drones to be female. By many accounts drones are really a 3rd gender entirely, which is interesting in it's own way. It's interesting that we consistently choose to cast them as male instead of female).

There's probably minimal issues with vibration (at least compared to copper in motors) & impacts, aluminium would probably be ok in this usage.

American culture will never grow up, it just changes it's insults. I mean listen to conservative radio, they use the word "Liberal" as an insult, tone of voice dripping in hatred, exactly like a 1930s conservative talking about those damned "N__ger Lovers".

  191. McKnowledge1000 Modern phone batteries (lithium ion) will last the longest if you try to keep it near 50% charge at all times, also try to avoid letting it get hot. Keeping it constantly near a fully charged state (ie: plugged into the charger after it's already at 100%), or near a fully discharged state (ie: when the battery runs out, you leave it turned off for a long time instead of re-charging it) will both shorten a lithium-ion battery's lifetime. It doesn't effect it that much, not really enough to bother, but if you're obsessive about extending your battery's lifetime - that's how you do it. If you want to keep a lithium-ion battery on the shelf for a while, charge it to around 50% before you put it away.

Expressions like "studies show", or "scientists have discovered", but without any included references, is a terrible ongoing journalistic bad habit we need to change. But yeah, interesting claims otherwise.

  230. @sausage4mash technically the human brain is subconsciously calculating more lines than you are giving it credit for. Mental processes that we are conscious of, make up only a small segment of our brain's activity. I suspect a lot of the "useful calculations" are happening subconsciously and automatically in the GM's visual and spacial regions of the brain, before they are even aware of checking lines. Or to put it another way, this is what you are calling "Intuition". It's just calculation.

Once i'd successfully jumped through the NDIS hoops & i finally stopped being asked for things, i am left in a state where i'm terrified of daring to mess with it. i fear that anything that draws attention to my file (i have no idea) may throw me back into that Kafkaesque "do i deserve to exist?" soul grinder. I still don't understand how the system works, it'll forever be a hard subject to think about, & most TV shows dealing the matter literally trigger panic attacks. This one was ok tho! 👍🏻

In space mining we may instead choose to seal the entire area with a film bag, then smelt everything in-situ. Our tailings may be more like solid lumps of sintered material - more like blocks than dust. Remember that even the biggest lump of waste material in space will be easily movable, it's not like on earth where we need to break things up so they fit into our forklifts & trucks.

  260.  @ctmalton1513  When you combine it with the word "defence", implying that the status-quo is already "everything is already mine", it's more apparent that it's entitlement. "Defence" contains an implicit assumption about what the status-quo is, about who already owns what. It's not so much "i will take this coz i can" as much as it's "this was already mine the entire time". It's like if i stole your car but said i was "repossessing" it, implying that the car was somehow already mine and infact you were the one who had previously stole it from me, thus i'm merely acting in "DEFENCE".

When it's spun up, you no longer need to exert effort to keep it balanced in your hands.  So it becomes just as light as if you were doing weight training on a cable machine.  You are feeling it's true weight, which is less than you'd expect. It's really a reminder of how much extra effort we expend trying to balance things. There's probably a zen koan in here somewhere.

Now the important part: The most likely scenario is that FriendlyGeordies (and/or whoever he sourced this from) just mispoke, perhaps the trials don't actually have a suspiciously clean 100% success rate over 40 years. I mean i'm taking his word for it. This was the main point to the OP post afterall: FriendlyGeordies was reporting the 100% success rate as a good thing, but in science a 100% success rate in this field is not a good thing at all. My expectation was that FriendlyGeordies (or someone else) simply exaggerated the figure for hyperbole reasons, and he didn't understand what he was actually implying.

  281. vanarcken113 Sadly what i said is indeed true.  Algae farming (& biofuels in general) and solar power are competing interests of mine, a few years back i was closely following a fair few algae projects (as my old videos attest to), and i still occasionally tinker with algae-tech ideas to this day. Algae is the fastest growing plant on the planet, it's the best, but photosynthesis isn't particularly efficient compared to man-made tech.  It's great for producing liquid fuels though (ie: for vehicles), very simple.  That's why there's so much buzz about algae, exciting stuff.  But everything has it's limitations.  It's more than just great for fuel, but also for food, and even carbon sequestration.  This stuff has a lot of uses, but it doesn't do everything. If you search for Algae Thermodynamics there's a fair few articles which will catch you up. But as a quick explanation: Think of how much land is required to produce X amount of biofuel for combustion cars (wikipedia has some good biofuel yeild numbers, algae is the best).  Then compare to the same land-area covered in solar panels charging electric cars.  It's almost no comparison, the electric cars come out way in front, mostly because the thermodynamic limitations of photosynthesis just can't be routed around :(.  You can easily charge your own electric car from the solar panels on your roof, but to grow enough biofuel to fuel your own car takes a relatively gigantic amount of land (i'd have to dig through my old notes to give you the exact land-size required), the yields are super low.

  294.

To judge someone else based on your own moral values is idiotic.  The assertion of absolute morals can at least be somewhat logically justified by those claiming supernatural origin for their moral framework - but what's your sad excuse? All you're asserting is that others should live as you do, that your sense of moral right & wrong are best.  But why would anyone be so arrogant as to think this?  Do you think you have some kindof authority on these matters, that you can tell other people that the way you live your life is better than the way they live theirs?  Dunning-Kruger much? And we're all still waiting for your explanation backing up your outof-the-blue assertion that premarital sex is bad.  I'm particularly looking forward to your attempt to first provide a universal definition of marriage.

  296. +Troy Milton errr, well the paraphrased answer is: because Science. A slightly longer answer might be: Via various observations & iterative experiments in biology, chemistry, physics, etc. Gradually increasing our knowledge until we get to the level of understanding & confidence that we enjoy today. Your question is very vague, it's sortof like a "To make an apple pie, one must first create the universe" thing. In Science, any new knowledge generally builds on existing knowledge, so to answer your question i'd need to know what you already believe - so i can build on that. I'd rather not explain the whole universe to you from first principles, it might take a while. So what do you already believe? ie: Are you asking how we know that evolution exists? or how we know that enzymes exist? or how we know that cells exist? or how we know that organs exist? or how we know that the material world exists? etc etc To answer the question all the way back, would be to study the history of science & philosophy (ie: logic, rhetoric, etc).
    2
  297. +Troy Milton one way is that they can first have an number of ideas of how it might work, and then they devise relevant experiments to test the ideas individually. For instance, they can introduce a specially shaped molecule* which they imagine should block or interact with one of the processes. If it has absolutely no effect on the cell in an experiment, then it would heavily imply that their ideas on how that process works were wrong. They can keep doing this until they find things which do have effects, then they analyse all of these things to build up a picture of what could (or definitely couldn't) be happening inside the cell. Over many experiments and testing of ideas, the picture becomes clearer. It's sortof like being in the dark, trying to figure out what an object is by repeatedly poking it with a stick from different angles, and keeping notes of when you hit something and when you don't. It can take a while, but over time this data paints an increasingly clear picture of the shape of what you're poking. It's like a game of connect the dots, each experiment gives you more dots, and marks some other places as "definitely no dots here". Every time they do an experiment and get more dots, and more "no dots here" areas (i think i'll call these "anti-dots"), they then can have another round of brainstorming to try to figure out what the picture could be. They take the best ideas from this brainstorming, and then devise new experiments to test the ideas, ie: "if this idea is correct, then there MUST be dots right around here and here." Even if the experiment fails to reveal dots there, it will instead reveal a "no dots here" area, and this data will still add to their picture. So even if an experiment fails to prove a hypothesis, it's still a win win situation. I guess the boardgame of "Battleship" is another which can be used as a metaphor. Each single shot you take gives you very little data, but over time it builds an increasingly clearer picture of things you couldn't previously see. It only takes a very little experiment, repeated slightly differently time & time again, to build up great amounts of knowledge. *Thesedays we have such a huge amount of knowledge about chemistry, that we use computer simulations to model what we know. This makes it easy to find new things we can experiment with, because it's sortof like "the computer simulation shows that the shape of this molecule should effect this thing", and then we test it in the real world to see if it's true. Remember all the poking with a stick we've previously done, by now we have a really good idea of the shape of various things, we even have a whole bag of specially shaped poking sticks to speed up the process. Thesedays we're super confident about the shape of most things, we only really poke specific areas we're not sure about.

  300. I saw a political party like this at our recent elections here in Australia, the party is called Senator Online.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senator_Online The party's support of bills is completely decided by it's members in online votes just like this.  Thus the party itself has no stated policy goals, no message, it's merely the medium. What's interesting about it is that policy changes don't need to be based around election cycles (eg: 4 years), since people can change how they online-vote at any time.  The party is thus able to dynamically react to changing needs of society faster than any other.

  305. +Jesse Steck Since communication is a 2 person process, it's incorrect to assume that your inability to understand someone would be solely their fault (why not your fault? Why automatically assume you're in the correct position by default?). You should look at people's differences in talking as the same as people who speak entirely different languages. You're going to have to be immersed in their culture for some time, to properly understand the nuances of what is being communicated. I very regularly have the sensation while listening to people from other cultures, where i can understand the words but i can also tell that there's something important that i'm missing out on. i don't assume i'm listening to idiots, what i assume is that i havn't been around this person or their culture enough to be able to pick up on the nuances, what they're really saying. It's not their fault per-se, since they're not a part of my culture either, they likely don't know all the nuances of my culture just as i don't know theirs. Neither of us are speaking the universal default language/grammar, we both just have our own languages - i wouldn't want them to think i was an idiot because of how i talked, so why would i do that to them. Lets not let our first reactions be shallow, this is a real actual person infront of me, they have depth.

  306. Only-Nixon-could-goto-China, because his party had poisoned the well.  If progressives had tried to goto China, then Nixon's conservative party would have screamed about doing deals with Communist states.  "Oh those democrats are such communists they're doing deals with China to make America communist omg!".  You know it. All of the progressive things that Nixon did, were because his party had dedicated itself to campaigning strongly against these things - assuring that no-one else could do them. His party had essentially dammed the river for generations, and then when elected he removes the dam, THE DAM HE PUT IN PLACE.  And everyone is supposed to praise him for making the river flow freely?  He was the very problem he fixed, his party's obstructionism only stops when they are elected.  That's not democracy, that's racketeering.  It's what the mafia does with protection money: " pay us elect us or we'll break your legs stop all progress".

  308. She gave a talk about gender in the insect world. GENDER! To give a talk about gender without feminist implications, is like giving a talk about mythology without comparing it to our contemporary religions. It'd be a lot of work to navigate that minefield just to preserve your feelings. So instead why not just let the expert tell it like it is, and if you think she's got something wrong then by all means feel free to leave a comment which explores that. You know it's possible she's not even a feminist right? She might just be saying things that she thinks are patently true, blissfully oblivious that there's a group of people out there who actually disagree. Sigh, if only that were truly the case. "People of all genders should have the same rights and opportunities, yet they current don't, and this needs to change" is apparently so strange a belief in our society that it actually requires a "name" to differentiate it from the vastly different beliefs of large groups of other people, urgh.

  309. Hmm, i thought she explained it perfectly adequately. Her points were that these cultures are so fucked up that women actually need to get doctors' certificates to prove they are virgins, and that sex education in these cultures is so poor that these certificates actually work to ward-off public ire.  Both points are highly embarasing, this was her goal, she was justifiably shaming these cultures.  She then went on to how it can be better. It's classic rhetorical technique, you first show the audience the scope of the problem, justifying the need for intervention, then suggest some suitable interventions (and/or explain the interventions you are already enacting).

  327. to go further... A Kitten playing with a string, is actually learning about it's environment. It is fascinated by the shape and movement-style of the string. It curiously messes with things it doesn't understand. It's constant batting at the string actually teaches it more about how the string moves, and why. Eventually as it can better predict the movement of the string - the game is no longer interesting and the kitten looses interest. "Play" is: instinctive & intuitive "learning".

  341. He keeps mentioning that he's a CEO, that he's a leader. A false dichotamy, and an archaic authoritarian throwback. If he so values people - why insist on labeling himself as above others ("THE CEO", "the main man", "the king")? Also selling "an experience" to his customers inspires greater customer loyalty and employee retention. But it still boils down to "give me more of your money". Hollow capitalism, no amount of Greenwashing and clichéd Tibetan pilgrimages can save you.

The time you waste travelling between the suburbs and city, is time you could have spent working and making money. So now that you live in the suburbs you can afford to waste 2 hrs of unpaid commute time everyday? That means your wage is already effectively 80% lower, and all this before you even factor in the costs involved with keeping a car. I guess it would have to approach 25% 4 u tho :-/

And at the end of the day you're defending a CO2 industry. VERY SUS. NO USEFUL FACTS/DATA. 🤔 Why arn't we using Co2 in our air-conditioners, heat pumps & geothermal? No answers.

  356. Since Peru's military is protecting either majority civilians - or the Peruvian society/civilisation (ie: the status quo, the bourgeois), this is perhaps why typical Peruvians refer to them as "our troops". I imagine only those who approve of the local Peruvian cocaine trade would have reason to object to the "our troops" label. As obviously the troops neither defend nor represent their viewpoints or wishes. However, I do approve of the cocaine trade. Drug prohibition is pointless.

  360. Yeah 😔. I mean these days there are legit reasons not to go nuclear, mostly economical (renewables are simply cheaper thesedays). But I'll always love nuclear as a tech, and these sorts of research/pilot plants are a necessity - simply for the research/development potential alone. We'll likely need more & more of this tech as we venture further up in space.

  375. I think you could get away with saying that Metaphors are the collective unconscious of cultural groups. On a larger stage though, even a species wide collective unconscious contains metaphor. For example, everyone experiences mother's milk. Hell, i guess all mammals do. Also the fear of animals larger than yourself is common to many species. It all seems related, but it may be needlessly watering down the definition of collective unconscious and/or metaphor.

Sure she didn't mention it, but there's SO MUCH to mention on this subject you can't fit it all into every talk you do on the subject. *well technically i think there IS a gender difference in brains, but it almost pales into insignificance compared to the influence of socialisation, like you say.

It seems like the culmination of a disaster situation: To me, his surprise disappearance shows that something was drastically wrong with family life. Something that could have been handled much better, predicted and prepared for, or outright avoided - had everyone (not just Dad) been honest and communicative.

  384. what she said about how we pay more for babysitting than we do for education is really interesting. It makes me wonder if we should be combining the two together - like the "governesses" or "tutors" that used to be so much more common. We could pay them more than $5/hour/child, even more than $15/hour. Indeed it's not uncommon these days for social critics to suggest that school is really nothing more than industrialized daycare - keeping kids OUTOF THE WAY so society can function better.
    2
  385. Free Market theory suggests that the free market is supposed to work by the best products winning out, coz ppl want what is best. But the forces of Advetising/Marketing/PR all distort this process - and ensure that it's the best marketing that wins, not the best products. Thus you get shitty products that do incredibly well, while awesome products die. Those companies who can afford huge marketing costs - reap the rewards and continue to monopolize the market. Capitalism is stupid

  389. ​ @Resumeshortly opposite. Making the powdered concrete emits CO2, at the concrete plant. Then when it's setting/drying it absorbs (some) CO2 from the atmosphere again. I should point out there are some newer kinds of concrete that are actually carbon negative (very exciting), but they're new and not very common. IIRC a local university here (QLD) poured an entire airport landing strip from it as a trial recently. New tech is cool.

  391. @GrudgyDiablo Not taxes. Climbing everest is expensive - the climbers pay plenty for climbing equipment, survival gear, keeping base camps running etc. AFAIK that's all paid for by the climbing expeditions (i mean who else pays for it?), not taxes. The climbers can pay for this as well. It could even be run as an privatized ultra-successful self-sustaining private charity. Everest climbers are rich people - save lives every season and it would pay for itself with grateful donations.

Legalisation of victimless crimes (ie: prostitution, drugs) will indeed solve a lot of problems, and i'm all for it. But it won't solve everything in the criminal world. Mind you - given the huge impact it would have, you could get away with calling it a silver bullet.

  416. the cool thing about it, is that you can focus it - to just look at one light (and therefore data) source. If you stand on a hill you look down and can possibly see tens of thousands of street-lights. If each of those carried a separate data signal, you could "tune in" to which ever one you wanted by simply using a telescope You could erect a tall tower covered in millions of separate little lights (each a different data stream), and the whole city could aim their telescope at it to "tune in"

  418. it quite striking how much "glamour" relies on a naïve and uneducated audience. it makes me angry. Because i see it as discouraging education. I don't believe in the (post?)modern apathetic belief that ALL ideals are wrong ("so why bother"). If an ideal is correct - it should not be afraid to show it's non-glamorous guts. Glamour should ALWAYS set off alarm bells in people's heads everytime they see it: "what are they hiding?" guts are good, simulating, and interesting. reality is great.

  423. If we rely on bees to pollonate our food crops as this video says, then colony disappearances would be followed by very quick measurable drops in crop yeilds. So does the evidence actually support that? It would have been pretty easy to cite some evidence in the video, yet it was curiously silent on that. Yeah i'm tipping this is just fearmongering bullshit, moving on.

B Both beakers will now have the same buoyancy (& 3rd law of motion) forces applied to them; but while the blue ball is adding no weight to it's beaker because of the string - the pingpong ball IS adding it's weight to the beaker now.  Therefore the Pingpong beaker will be heavier by the weight of the ping-pong ball, it's not much weight difference but it should be enough to tip the scales down on the ping-pong ball side. (ps: i got the first question wrong.  Didn't consider the 3rd law)

  436. It's much easier than the previous strategy tho, which was to grow algae using the direct sunlight. This new way, you can harvest the energy via solar cells and transport the energy via wires, which is a much easier (and more efficient) strategy than pumping algae around roofs. It's better to transport electricity over long distances, than to transport liquids over long distances. (ie: large solar installations can be in a far away locations where they don't get in the way, but your chemical plant can be right in the city where it's products are needed). It also allows you to use alternate sources of energy such as geothermal and nuclear, if needs be.

So problems of crowding & shade have been moved outof the city to wherever the solar collector is (ie: the desert). Basically, this vertical farming could scale down underground rather than upwards.

Autistic or something? Maybe if like... both people were Linguists, correcting* eachother's grammar during a story would be acceptable because both parties know it's a mutually enjoyed shared interest. It'd be basically an inside joke. *it's not even "correcting" tho, since there is no universal standard for these things and they're always evolving. The person wouldn't say "you should say it this way", they'd instead say "You should say it this way, if you were trying to sound like a person who grew up in this specific particular geographical/historical point".

Anyone who's used mouse gestures knows how much faster it is to use tools you can operate blind.  But if you don't, here's a good trick anyone can learn:  Hit the X in the top-right of the screen to close a maximised window, but do it without looking at all.  You'll get used to it, and be amazed at how much faster it is.

  467. Even if we programmed AI with our human values, i'm not confident that those values could survive the complex world of computer networks.  It's such a different network than humans are socially used to, personal boundaries would be blurred, it would send a human insane, our values would have to change.  I imagine it would be the same for any AI programmed with human values, their networked environment would be so socially insane that they'd get mental illnesses (in our human opinion), so to psychologically survive they'd have to be less human. If we integrated our human selves into such a network we'd probably end up like the Borg.  I really wish star-trek's fictional exploration of the Borg wasn't so negative all the time, we really need a proper literary exploration of these sorts of things without painting it all so negative and ugly from the get-go.  It could be more mystical, beautiful, we can probably better understand it if we come at it with religious concepts.

  481. +Cayden Normanton I can understand your reaction, but we live in a world where there are a lot of people trying to pull a fast one on you. Science is a huge target for this, there's countless people trying to pass their work off as legit unbiased science when it's not, trying to pretend they are an authority they're really not. This is one of those "if it sounds too good to be true" situations where it's best to assume the worst. There's enough scientific work being done that DOESN'T have red flags like this, so it's best to prioritize the work that has no red-flags, and ignore everything questionable. I agree it's a sad state of affairs where some scientific work can get ignored just because it's not PERFECT, but we're spoiled for choice and shortstaffed. When bad science makes it's way into the media (and it very often does), it's often stuff which was riddled with red-flags from the get-go. So if you put the bar so high that no questionable red-flag science gets through, you cut out a disproportionate amount of bad science in the media as well. re: your Water-Tap example: If none of the taps in my house ever had a problem in 40 years, i would be amazed. It would be strange, even though my taps are of high quality - i still would have honestly expected at least some normal problems like a leaky seal here or there, i wouldn't expect a 100% success rate over 40 years. Sometimes a farm crop gets wiped out by a flood, or locust plague, or some sortof blight. There are countless outside forces which can effect crop trials, which is why they have to do a lot of them to average out the results. If results are PERFECT 100% success rate it's very very suspicious. Over 40 years, with so many farms, you would have to have some failures.

Error-check your results, get your peers to do likewise, look for suspicious activity that may indicate a problem (ding ding ding!). You can do better, step it up.

  493. Instead of remembering all of the names for sugars, just go straight to the Nutritional facts table. 0:52  See the table to the left of the ingredients list.  That's what you're interested in. All sugars are carbohydrates, and if you're avoiding sugar then you're probably doing it for weight loss purposes, and thus you're really trying to avoiding all carbohydrates (not just sugar).  Carbs are like slow release sugars, but you still get the same amount of calories - just slow release - you still get fat. So you look at that table, you see how much carbohydrates it has per 100grams # and you basically treat that as percent sugar.  If it's 90grams per 100 grams carb, then it's effectively 90% sugar. Simple. As a diabetic, when i compare foods i'm primarily concerned with the percent carb, percent fat, percent protein, and the glycemic index (ie: how fast the carbs are absorbed). Even if you're not diabetic, it's handy to get a feel for this stuff beacuse it can remind you of why particular foods are so addictive (they generally have a lot of carbs and fat).  It's good to be aware of where your feelings are comming from, coz if a food is actually really healthy for you AND yet you still really love eating it - you're onto a winner!  Fill up your fridge with it! # the table in this video doesn't actually show carbs per 100grams, but afaik most labels in the real world do.

How about you compare it to maintaining natural stocks of wild Buffalo, wild Antelope (ie: Deer, Moose, Kudu, etc), wild Rabbits, wild Birds, wild Boars, wild Zebra, wild Kangaroos, etcetc.  I'm sure these are all cheap options just like the wild fish, maybe even better. Kangaroos are an especially exciting option, they eat very little as they are quite efficient animals.  They are being seriously considered as an alternative to Beef farming.

In the whole talk he never mentioned HDI, he's knowingly lying to the audience for his own benefit.  It's like Apple trying to re-write history to say that the iPod was the world's first portable mp3 player (nope).

If it can't do this, then it probably also wouldn't be considered to be intelligent. The 2 concepts may be inseparable.

Brandan09997 i scoff when i look at a shiny 3D rendering of a futuristic phone, with a caption reading "This amazing phone's charge could last for 100 years and be powered by unicorn farts, kitten giggles, & quantum woowoo", yes. Any designer can render & write whatever fictional story they want to go with the artwork for their fictional devices, but actually constructing a device that will function under the known laws of physics is another story. Sadly, designers often aren't trained too well in this. It's easy to design a (effective & competitive) hand-held laser pistol, low power prototypes already exist, hell you can watch real videos here on youtube of people's DIY pulsing laser blasters, it's known tech. What's hard though is powering it (to a sufficient level) with known battery tech, that's typically the limitation in the real world: the density of energy storage. Another one is the economics of actually constructing the device (It's common to see designs for all sorts of things that stipulate ridiculously expensive materials, or construction techniques which are still barely being understood in universities - let alone in use in industry right now). Most of these things are "what if". But sadly the media reports on them as if they're just around the corner. This serves both the design firms and the media well, they're generally more interested in page views and SEO exposure ratings than any sort of accuracy in reporting. To answer OP's question directly: TBH the reason we don't all have exoskeletal power armour is because we're civilians and have little need for armour. But the reason we don't have exoskeletal suits is because they're a relatively new tech. Exoskeletal suits already exist right now in a primitive (still mostly prototype, unaffordable) form, but it's good enough to predict that they'll be cheap and commonplace tech perhaps within 10 years, we'll get there with slow incremental improvements alone. No exotic materials needed, OP is in luck, we just need time. I'm glad OP didn't ask for (useful) personal jetpacks tho, that's a much harder nut to crack. Sorry, no flying Ironman suits for a while yet.

  549. The components of sunscreen may be dangerous to Marine life, but the quantities used are so minuscule that it's irrelevant when compared to the effect of industrial pollutants such as farm fertilizers. You could need to dump truckloads of sunscreen onto a beach everyday to have an effect.

  550. Yeah but it's still nothing compared to industrial sources of pollutants. So much oil comes from just boats alone, during normal operation. How many boats do you see at the beach? Add to that everything comming outof the rivers and the shit washed off our roads from stormwater runoff. Sunscreen is nothing. It's like a single drop compared to the barrels a day comming from everything else.

As an advertising company, they probably make the best use of such data themselves, and thus guard it carefully lest their competition find the data just as useful.

  561. Multirotors are too inefficient for long distances though, you want fixed-wing UAVs.  There are some fixed wing UAVs that can take off vertically just like a multirotor, that's the way to go. The $3000 price tag is a bit rediculous, i'd think it could be built for less than $500.

  562. Rather than the slime-mold being "intelligent" and "learning" these mazes & temperature patterns, isn't it much more likely that we're just seeing evolution at work?  The mold is reproducing with variation, the variations which better predict the environment are simply surviving better, and everyone else is dying off leaving only the successful mutations left. The mold is producing offspring which to go dormant at random intervals, but the ones who's dormant interval (by happenstance) coincides with the cold weather end up surviving better, and thus reproducing more.  Everyone else DIES.  So over time the petri-dish population becomes more and more skewed towards coinciding with the temperature change, since that specific mutation is being genetically passed on to the offspring.  That wouldn't be "learning", it's evolution.

I mean, who's to say our human values are inherently good and naturally something to strive for?  They're just values, we're functionally incapable of adopting, understanding or valuing other value systems (can we think like a tree?).  We're just where we are, and everything else is doomed to appear incomprehensibly alien to us, and we're also doomed to appear incomprehensively alien to everything else.  All of us forever locked in our speciated loneliness. :(

  592. AFAIK The amount of sugar in your blood would be more like 2-3 teaspoons, as this would be literally the amount of sucrose required to raise your blood sugar by 4-6 mmol/DL (which would be the normal range for your Blood Sugar Levels). If you only had 1 teaspoon of sugar in your blood, your BSLs (Blood Sugar Levels) would be around 2mmol/DL, you wouldn't feel very well as you'd be hypoglycemic. 2:55 It should be noted that your body actually does convert a significant amount of the protein you eat into glucose, something not mentioned in the video (but hey it's only 5 mins long). Eating cheese, meat and eggs does raise your BSL. From personal experience, i'd say the effect is about 1/3 or 1/2 that of eating the equivalent weight of complex carbohydrate. Insulin sensitivity is something important even for type-1 diabetics, because if your sensitivity is high then you can take less insulin. I typically exercise at least once a week to keep my sensitivity up, and if i skip a few weeks i can tell because i have to raise the amount of insulin i give myself. If i then exercise again, my sensitivity goes up again immediately, literally WITHIN MINUTES, it's like flicking a light switch. Exercise: highly recommended, for everyone, diabetic or not (everyone has insulin). Don't even think of it as burning calories, you're doing it to bump your insulin sensitivity up, and improve your mental state.

If you want to visualise it: Look at large scale Algae bioreactors, and then remove the requirement for sunlight. edit: Hmm, an algae bioreactor is simply an industrial chemical plant with a sunlight component (which greatly complicates it). Remove the sunlight component and you've basically just got a normal industrial chemical plant. Like a factory that produces bread yeast, beer, or medicines. It's just a normal chemical plant, looks pretty standard & boring.

  603. Destro7000 These "feminists" you're describing, who aren't striving towards equality, are what we call "Strawman Feminists", because they mostly only exist in people's heads and not in reality. You're not railing against feminism, you're railing against something else, something that doesn't even exist. A fake target. Well i shouldn't say they don't exist at all, the world is pretty diverse and i've met some crazy people. But they are very rare, and certainly not what mainstream feminism is about. The thing is though, that most people who are anti-feminism like to argue against feminism by painting it as exactly what you described, they paint a weird picture of what feminism isn't - claim that this is actually what feminism is - and then use it to justify their stance against feminism. But really they are attacking something else, they're attacking a fake "Strawman". I mean, if you're for egalitarianism and gender equality - then you may find that your viewpoints could be quite inline with feminism, and you're merely calling yourself something else. But on the other hand, if you get annoyed when people talk about gender issues, and think it's all dumb "feminist talk" instead of just normal human talk about important and highly relevant issues in our lives, then yeah you're probably not a feminist. To me, it sounds like someone in 1700s America saying something like "Wow all this anti-slavery talk is so annoying, i wish people would just shut up about it." The fact that you don't think this is important weirds me out, but TBH it's a feeling that most feminists are pretty used to :(

  609. Detroit is kindof suffering because of the loss of it's automobile manufacturing sector, right?  And that industry failed because it wasn't sustainable, it was a toxic culture that resisted change so much that it inevitably killed itself - was outcompeted by foreign companies who gave ppl the more sustainable cars they wanted. Soooo, what this really is - is a burst bubble.  If the Detroit automobile industry was never really sustainable, then Detroit's downfall was always inevitable. It's sad, sure, but bubbles burst all the time.  I don't really understand why people think Detroit's bursting bubble is any more tragic than any other bubble.  I guess it's more tragic than the dot-com bubble, because the tech industry adapts VERY fast and recovered almost instantly - i mean look at how strong silicon valley still is, is it even dented? The American auto industry needs to change it's culture.  Ok who am i kidding - it won't change anywhere near fast enough, the American auto-industry needs to just die so that the room becomes available for something better to replace it.  It's too fucked up. I say it's replacement needs "room", in the sense that while the auto-industry is still alive it has proven time and time again that it will mercilessly attack anything new that threatens it.  So for things to get better, this crazy dog needs to die.

  610. Yet he would have shouted down his political opponents for doing the exact same thing. It's like the vietnam war thing, mentioned in the video.  The only reason Nixon was able to stop the Vietnam war while he was in office, is because before he was in office he sabotaged all efforts to stop the war.  It's the same thing with China, if the democrats tried to open ties with China the republicans would have campaigned hard against it with their typical anti-communist rhetoric.  They are an insanely obstructionist party. It would be more accurate for you to say this: "China, China, China. Had he not stopped his anti-communist rhetoric against China the world would be 100% different today" HE WAS THE PROBLEM

My grandmother grew up in British India, and escaped with the rest of the British during the tumultuous time of the India/Pakistan national split. I remember she always had an Indian accent, but it'd be technically correct to say it's also a Pakistani accent, since she grew up in the time when they were both one single country still. Actually now that i think about it, the area she grew up in might now be called Pakistan, even tho it was India at the time. She was born in India, now Pakistan, but even tho she was born there - she was British. Right? Cultural identity is weird.

  622. nitwndr The battery continues to (try to) supply power (somewhere between 2.5V and 4.2V) to the phone at the same time as the charger is supplying 4.2V to both the battery and the phone, the 2 sources are connected in parallel, so the phone only ever sees 4.2V like usual. It's all connected to the same single terminal: the positive of the phone, positive of the battery, and positive of the charger. A fully charged battery will supply 4.2V to the phone, an almost discharged battery will supply maybe 2.5-3V. When the battery is being charged - the charger supplies 4.2V positive to the battery's positive terminal (ie: it's in parallel). So as far as the phone is concerned it just sees 4.2V positive on it's positive terminal, just like usual, all that's changed is that there's slightly more amperage at it's disposal (comming straight from the charger). Inside the battery though is where things are different, it's suddenly seeing voltage at it's positive terminal (from the charger) which is comparitively MORE POSITIVE than it's own positive 2.5V. You have to remember that voltage is a relative thing. This means that to the battery - if it's charging it's own positive terminal to 2.5V positive, but there's an outside positive voltage of 4.2V, then what it's actually experiencing inside itself on it's positive terminal is 1.7V of NEGATIVE charge. The battery's own residual 2.5V positive is cancelling out 2.5V positive of the incomming 4.2V, (it experiences that 4.2V positive as relative to the 2.5V positive that the terminal already had) thus leaving a RELATIVE voltage difference of 1.7V in the other direction (ie: negative). So yeah, while charging there is indeed a reversal of voltage going on, but it's only the inside of the battery itself that is experiencing it. :) It's like having a bucket that is pouring it's water out onto the ground slowly, and you're occasionally topping up that bucket with a glass of water. The water pouring out from the bucket never stops, and the level in the bucket is normally going down. But when the glass is topping up the bucket - the water level in the bucket suddenly starts going up (this is like the internal reversal of voltage the battery is experiencing, the weird experience of it's water level going BACKWARDS is only experienced by the bucket itself and no-one else), even though the water pouring outof the bucket isn't effected and just keeping going during the whole process. My point is that when you are recharging that bucket, it doesn't effect the pouring out of the bucket's water onto the ground, it certainly doesn't make the pouring go in reverse. The only reversals that are happening are within the water-currents of the bucket itself. I hope that helps :)

  623. The rest of the talk was ok, but the first 1/3rd of the talk (ie: before snowden was brought up) was so outof touch with people's concerns. Covering the whole planet with Google's balloons?  It was so stupid to talk about that.  We are all incredibly concerned with privacy and governments ability to co-opt any tool they wish to, just like they co-opted Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Yahoo, etc and use it for whatever evil purpose they want to. I mean, it's like dropping crates of guns into a despotic area - thinking it will help the civilians protect themselves from the government.  Is it really any surprise when the local government will receive all of those guns and use them to further subjugate the populace. You need to design protections into the systems themselves. Google's data should have all been anonymized and encrypted to protect everyone from NSA spying, from the beginning, it should never have been possible for anyone to steal your (more like OUR) data without your consent. If you drop balloons all over the world, what do you think's going to happen?  The NSA is going to come along and say "here's a secret court order, all of this is ours now, thanks a bunch for building a geostationary global spy network for us".  Your corporate policies on user data protection are so piss-poor you may as well just think of yourself as a contractor building infrastructure literally FOR the spy agencies, since they have the legal (and/or brute-force technological) power to just take it and all of the data you've stored. To talk of creating this balloon network, with no mention at all of safeguards.  Wow.

In a democracy, this level of public ignorance about such an important subject is outright frightening.  :( also, i'm not sure i want to read the comments section on this channel ever again. ps: Australian here.  Over the past decade our government has been increasingly politicizing EVERY issue and playing the day-to-day opinion polls, very little is to do with any actual good for the country, these ppl have zero ethics and are only in it for their own short-term power games.  I don't think our dropping of the climate tax was done for any reason other than political maneuvering for short-term political gains and keeping powerful campaign contributors happy (ie: the mining giants).

My advice: If you want a secure password, use huge sentence phrases.  Don't use just 4 words, use more than 10 words, write a whole sentence. You should see the length of my wifi passwords, goddamn.  My only hint to you is that they're 64 characters or less.

Note: i'm not talking about your irrelevant 1/4 vs 1% stuff. I'm talking about the stats in the video that you complained about.

  637. starfish24:) it should be noted that this part in the video is actually wrong.  The space above the liquid is not a vaccum, it is instead filled with vapour which has boiled away from the liquid.  The "vapour pressure" of the liquid comes into play, as well as the temperature.  Since different liquids have different vapour pressures, you actually get different results depending on what liquid you use.

  644. i was about to say that shape changing phones won't catch on until mobile phones continue their rush to reduce in size until they are finally too small to comfortably use - and we have to make them artificially bigger than the technology requires (ie: they will be full of wasted space). But then i realised that we've already passed that point: Since the introduction of smartphones, phones are now getting BIGGER so that they have large highres readable screens. Gimme a big FOLD-OUT phone screen

It's limits in this regard are (surprise surprise): "exactly like a TV remote".

Luckily the urge to avoid authoritarian dictatorships seems to be rather instinctual and doesn't require much attention or forethought, it does require things like freedom of the press and free speech though. Most importantly it requires the ability to vote - ie: Democracy. (Since if someone does clamp down on freedom of the press or free speech - the populace will simply vote them out.)

But actually i dont, and it was always a waste of everyone's time. Stuff where experts give us insight into what's happening tho, thats useful. But if it's literally just some fucking guy then don't waste your time, you have no compulsion to stop and listen. It's not worth sitting still for. I'm not just talking about 24hr news channels, i'm talking about all general news. Imagine a journalist/anchor is just some fucking guy talking to you IRL, he's told you some bullshit that's happening... ok. You reply: So? Was that relevant? Are we going to have a conversation?

  718. A majority of votes is NOT REQUIRED to cause change. To form government in a multi-party system the participants comprimise their policies with one another to work together to form a coherent government. A number of votes for a party, member or policy does not have to be a majority, it just has to be significant enough to shift the "balance of power". Because the system is complex, even small influences can have knockon effects which ultimately decide the outcome. The small issues do matter.

You can think of 1 grape as the standard needed to keep you alive, and all subsequent grapes as disposable income - to do with as you will.

It's something a lot of religious people get to do @ church while non attending Atheists miss out on that convenience. Maybe Atheists should do that too, why not? that's 1 example

  774. Yes her comment on "fermented grains to heat our homes" is certainly not very smart. The much more efficient option is to harvest the solar directly. Don't waste that solar energy on incredibly inefficient photosynthesis. Liquid fuels (eg: from Fermented biological matter) should only ever be used for situations where an easily transported fuel is most nessesary - ie: as fuel for vehicles. It shouldn't be used for heating homes. There are much more efficient ways to heat homes.

Also, humans don't produce energy - we USE it, from SUGARS - which is how plants store their harvested SOLAR energy (via the leaf). You can use artificial lighting to grow plants. But where does the energy to run the lights come from? Fusion? The machines should cut out all the pointless middlemen, and just power themselves with Fusion directly. No humans needed.

They are peculiar language skills someone learned from their culture, it's petty to call it "childish and bullshit". It's just how they learned to talk. Does it mean anything, or is that just an irrational prejudice? Frankly i'm glad she's just talking naturally and authentically without trying to disguise her voice with false pretensions. As that's kindof the main point of the talk, no?

I actually thought it was a fun and exciting documentary. A lot of the stuff in it was verifiably true and i learned some cool stuff (after fact checking to make sure it was true). But also a lot was verifiably false, and that pisses me off. I don't like getting lied to, understandable no?

In the Startrek universe, Starfleet is essentially a successful Communist state. But where would they be without their technology? They speak to their computers with natural human language, play in holodecks, travel via transporters, and automated food "replicators" create limitless quality food, tools and materials.

  800. You mean your vw passat with a reserve tank fitted. Let alone EVs for a tick, i'm curious what your thoughts are about practically every other fossil-fuel car having half that range? Do you complain that fossil cars are "not good enough" too? ps: i remember once reading a prediction that EV battery range will plateau at ~1000km. As battery tech continues getting better from there - they'll likely just reduce the amount of space the battery takes up in the car, opting for the same range but less weight/size. Tho for situations like yours where you may need a reserve tank, i guess you could simply add a reserve battery instead.

So i'm just asking for confirmation of your views, and i don't see why you should be obtuse about it. The fact that you assume a treatment for homosexuality is even appropriate, prompted my questions. The questions boil down to figuring out if you see all sexual activity as dysfunctional if it doesn't produce babies.

  870. You can imagine how it'd be useful for a filter-feeder to sieve water until it had concentrated a lot of nutrients into a storage location. It's water still - but now more concentrated with nutrients. Sortof like how a humpback whale filters water krill through it's mouth until it has a mouth full of highly concentrated krill water (then it finally swallows). A filter feeder (like coral polyps) might do this too, concentrating it's collected nutrients into a protected area. It could also use this area to store all kinds of things, like important chemicals that it doesn't have room to store in the polyp but are too important to permanently disard, coz they'll likely want them again later and it's handy to not have to waste all that time & energy to filter for them in the ocean all over again. I can see how this could easily evolve into a circulatory system. Also, it's sortof a way for filter feeders to evolve an anus. Normally they only have 1 hole, but with a circulatory system the polyps can specialise and become a multicellular system - all sharing the same circulatory system, all dependant on it and all evolving to defend the collective "environment" that is now the collective body of a multicellular organism. So some polyps can specialise on filtering from the ocean (mouth cells), and others can specialise in maintaining the health of the blood (liver, kidney, pancreatic cells etc). As the body gets bigger, they'll need cells that can move the circulatory system around more. They'll also need a way to remove waste from the circulatory system. You can't just flush the whole thing out, you'll lose all your collected nutrients, so you must filter the waste out and dump it. Congratulations it's an anus. :D

The very fact that we DO need to use such things shows that bugs are hard to control.

  910. After our private conversation i think i better understand your point jalgjalg. You are concerned that trying too diligently to erase "bad feelings" may have unintended negative outcomes on society. Our "bad feelings" may be necessary for motivation. We may throw the baby out with the bath water. As an example, Pain is a bad feeling - but a person impervious to pain may accidentally set himself on fire without knowing it. Pain serves an evolutionary purpose. It is certainly a good point.

  920. "Power" is your influence on the world around you. Hard power is forcing your (unwanted) influence via physical/economic means. Soft power is when your influence is actually sought after. ie: people want Hollywood movies. The Beatles' facination with India was long ago. Now it's ugly classism and materialism. When an obnoxious Indian telemarketer greets me - i don't call that soft power. That's Hard economic power, it's unwanted and forceful. *click*

  926. @sexyloser The way i figure is that everyone has been working on the walking for so long by now that they must have it polished pretty well. But those other maneuvers are rather new, and thus they havn't had the accumulated manhours yet, and might not be balancing very well. I find it hard to explain why the walking maneuver didn't have the tight wires, yet the other maneuvers did. What i'm essentially saying, is that those tight wires introduce unneeded suspicion into the video's claims.

They may not want to taste everything on the menu, but it's handy to know what the restaurant serves as it can give you an idea of what meals the general populace prefers. We humans instinctively notice trends, it's an integral part of living in a society.

Oh well, i guess we'll always need that final rocket push at the end.

  959. She's right tho. There's occasionally campaigns pushing for replacing herds of meat cows with kangaroos. So many benefits: Roos eat less, drink less, burp less, their feet do less damage to the ground (so does their grazing style, they don't yank the whole grass plant outof the ground like cows often do). Their meat is also healthier for you. Problem is tho: it's hard to make fences TALL enough to keep Roos contained. Currently (afaik) all Roos slaughtered for legal consumption are killed via a single rifle-shot to the head in wild undomesticated animals (ie: not at point-blank range). It's illegal to sell Roo meat for human consumption that wasn't killed via single heatshot, coz we're worried about animal suffering (especially in mass-produced meat markets). So it makes it difficult to scale up as an industry, currently. Hopefully we'll work it out tho, coz it'd be great to move on from cows.

So we'll have to wait until 2053 until the single dumbest person alive on the planet at the time (an IQ of only 5) will be smart enough to destroy all life. ps: an IQ of 201-202 would be smarter than any human who has ever lived in all of history, so 250 would be pretty out there.

  974. Yea. Tho as he says: rooms ALREADY have power connections all over the place. So one way of conceptualising this project is kinda like using your home's existing power sockets as your (lossless & lagless) digital audio speaker cables. I agree tho, it seems it could be better if the speakers were passive & the optical receivers were powered by battery, and the whole system sized appropriately for that. Coz unfortunately those optical receivers do need to be powered, the speakers can't be completely passive & wire-free. Tho perhaps it could be powered wirelessly, maybe solar? We're already using mirrors afterall. If the optical receivers are low power enough, an internal battery could last a few days and be charged constantly with incidental passive light in the room 🤷‍♀️. Lots of fun ideas to be had.

  975. i must say - given the lack of supporting evidence for his claims (as far as i can tell anyway), i'm surprised this man is regarded as a prominent scientist.

Is this man really worthy of the professional respect he receives? I'm now suspicious.

He didn't say that. We CAN use already existing tools to create these things to reach our goals. It will take energy to create. They won't break-even instantly, no investment does that.

Coz the WWF doesn't like Nuclear power. Why? Coz.

  1031. Yeah, i don't know him personally, I fault him for his industry. TBH the problem of sensationalism is even becomming a standing problem in scientific research (ie: at universities). If your work isn't "wow!" - it can be difficult to court journals to get your work published, or attract funding. But that's not how science is supposed to work. More routine unexciting duplication of previous studies needs to be supported and expected. Don't let journalists tell you what problems "really matter".

I think the Chevy Volt is also set to use the A123 batteries. It's a new tech - still rather cutting edge so the cells are kindof expensive.

  1052. ah, noise. Hmm, yeah there's probably better ways of organising walkable city spaces so that they muffle noise. Perhaps buildings with fewer straight right-angled concrete edges, fewer large echoey unbroken paved areas, more greenery, more secluded nooks. Making quieter outdoor cities is an interesting idea, it'll take some ponderin' :)

You've never really seen any of them and have no idea how they work or are designed, but yeah they're nonsense. Why? Because you have a brilliant idea, which is to replace all IQ tests with a simple test to see how good you are at long division and addition/subtration in your head. BRILLIANT!! Wait no. You are a walking talking example of the Dunning–Kruger effect, ie: u r dumb as a stump

  1076.  @comingsn2519  "Not working" according to who? I'd expect it's surely helping, and as long as ppl keep doing their best to wash hands, socially distance, & quarantine etc, but obviously the vaccines won't be able to work to STOP the pandemic continuing to spread until enough people are vaccinated, (I remember hearing something like 80% mentioned in the early days but that goal may have since changed as we learned more, I'd have to check.) Obviously, this is why they are so keen to get enough people vaccinated, coz until we get there - the virus will still have enough vulnerable ppl around to continue jumping from person to person.

  1116. re: The Q&A at the end. Just want to correct something: Evolution does not at all suggest that life out there in the universe would be using DNA with 4 or 6 letters. This is not a new thing. When TED owner Chris walks onstage to ask this question after the talk, he seems to think this is some kinda change to how we understand life & evolution. IT'S NOT. This is not a change. Infact, science already had a robust understanding of evolution long before we had even discovered Chromosomes or DNA (let alone that it has 4 letters). All that evolution suggests on the matter is that if there's other naturally occuring life out there in the universe, it must have evolved, and to be able to evolve it must have some form of data storage . It likely won't be DNA like ours, it might not even be stored inside cells, it just has to be some way to store/edit/copy information . That's it. And the very end Floyd suggests that we may find life out there that doesn't even have DNA (by which i think he means it won't have a way of storing data at all). That's pretty dubious, if we ever found something like that then we probably wouldn't categorize it as "life". There are many things on earth that already fit that bill, many chemical reactions (eg: sped-up footage of metals rusting) do look & act very much like they're alive in some way, but they aren't. The main reason we know they're not alive is because there is no data storage at play, there is thus no way for it to evolve. At it's base level, "life" is really just a specific sub-category of chemistry, it's chemistry that has a way of storing/editing/copying data . All chemistry isn't life. If chemistry doesn't do this - it's not life. That's not to say it's automatically unimportant & not worthy of protection & respect. It might be it's own new category of chemistry. (ps: "DNA" is just shorthand for the chemical name Deoxyribonucleic Acid, the chemical our biology uses to store our genetic information. But since alien biology would likely store it's genetic information using other chemicals, we wouldn't call it "DNA", it'll have a different name)

If those people require an injection so badly that they will die without it in a couple of days - then using a dirty needle is obviously the better option than no injection at all. Think about that. If you had a choice: (A) - Die in a few days from a lack of much needed injection. OR (B) - Die in a few years from an infection from that syringe. Wouldn't you choose the latter?

  1132. But the ever changing whimsy of the Husband must be taken into account when deciding to start a family. Either the husband deceived his wife (and/or even himself), or the wife mis-judged the husband (ie: was he prone to flights of whimsy when she married him?). Or as you say - the husband just had an uncharacteristic strong change of desire. In which case - i suppose on many bases he is unsuccessful. (evolutionary, social) The harm *could* be minimised.

  1136. This seems legit. It's very simple what they're doing, it's just a reliable & reproducible way to pre-concentrate & collect breath samples. What's exciting about it, is that this could be a much easier & simpler alternative to a blood test. Think about how great it would be if Doctors could take a routine blood test everytime you visit, without needing to have a painful arm jab (that also requires extra training/technique & a sterile environment on the Doctor's part). If tests were as easy as this, we'd all do them much more routinely and doctors would have would have a lot more information to work with. They'd be able to catch and treat disease much better. It'll also lead to more medical discoveries, because all of this data can be put into computer models which can find new patterns. We'll end up finding out stuff like (note: fictional example) maybe Alzheimer's disease is almost always predicted by a drop in Folate concentrations (seen in breath tests) 5-7 years before any symptoms show, and subsequent experiments then showed that a sudden Folate mega-dose at this exact time will immediately stop the disease progressing (reminder note: that was a fictional example). Devices like this will lead to all sorts of discoveries like that.

Here in Australia we have had a lot of problems with invasive predatory animals and insects. The cane toad was stupidly introduced to control a beetle that damaged sugar cane plantations - but the toad has itself become a huge pest spreading across the entire country and damaging the native ecosystems.

  1190. 13:52 I'm not sure you got the math right there. You're saying that to cover 3.8 million km^2 requires 16 trillion small shades, that means each one would be only 49cm to a side - you'd need 4x of them to cover a single square meter. (even "launching 1 million at a time" would only act as a 550m diameter shade) That's... rediculous. We have already successfully launched multiple experimental solar sails - all much bigger than that - made of thin reflective film that unrolls to it's full size after deployment. As an example of typical experimental sizes: Znamya 2 was around 300 m^2. Since they're so light-weight & stow well, it's thought that they could unroll to many kilometers across. You'd need a few thousand big solar sails (not trillions). It might take less than 100 launches, perhaps much less. Doable.

It doesn't matter where it's registered. Stamp down your feet, right here, where are we? Is it legal here? NO? Guess that's what's called an "illegal car", wow the concept does exist afterall, who would have thought. Stop predictably wasting ppl's time.

  1197. i dunno man, their leadership seems kinda desperate & childish, like they're barely holding onto local power & are using violent threats to do it. TBH their whole nation seems rather unstable lately, i hope things improve. It's quite the slump for a once-great ancient culture. We do expect great things from China as usual, as in from the Chinese PEOPLE, but not from their current leadership. China is probably similar to how Australia was while languishing under the past several years of Liberal-Party governance. A whole nation tearing it's hair out, waiting for the gremlins to finally step down off the podium, so we can all collectively join the future.

  1199. @sachamm you forgot the default option: 4) Don't even build the city, change nothing. you mentioned "better work". You need to keep in mind that better work is indeed better work. You would rather campesinos remained campesinos forever? Or should they instead aspire to gain better work. Which is better economically? A region full of campesinos, or a region full of campesinos looking for work in a city built in their region.

  1208. Renewable ammonia production (huge feedstock for artificial fertiliser industry) is becoming a thing, through combining electrolyzed hydrogen with carbon monoxide from the air or something (can't remember, would have to look it up again). Test plant on west coast of Australia, I haven't heard of any problems. I was primarily hearing about it as a way to store & transport hydrogen (in the form of ammonia) for a possible hydrogen energy economy, but ammonia is itself very useful to produce anyway.

It also tends to force people to confront the question of the existence (or not) of an immaterial soul.

  1233. don't feel bad for trying to hard, it's all about context. when people "test" eachother thesedays we are really concerned with proving we don't have something blatantly wrong with us (ie: prove basic competence). Then we are concerned with "impressing" the other person. Unfortunately, to know howto impress another person you have to know a bit about them - to an extent we all do a bit of "cold reading" to get this information if we're to succeed in giving a good first impression.

One side has consistently proven itself to be died-in-the-wool obstructionist, is sworn to never agree with the other side on anything, and will never change. Everytime he talked about how "all sides agree" about this point or that point, i just shook my head. Because that is simply not the political landscape we live in, no, we instead have people who play hate, enmity and perpetual disagreement for political points.

  1246. It's a hell of a lot more than 5 per year if you count vehicle interactions. It's why "Roo bars" are common here. The animals are dumb as hell, notice in the low helicopter footage that the Roo is not running AWAY from the helicopter. It's common to have a Roo running full-speed BECIDE your car and then it veers directly into the side of your car - BONK. Due to their jumping it's not uncommon for one to come straight through your car's front windscreen at highway speed. It's a mess. If we see Roos around we slow right down coz they're so dumb & unpredictable.

  1252. @contarious Armor only really needs to be gendered when the armor is light-weight & the wearer is small, because individual body shapes are more pronounced at this scale. But when humans get huge, both genders tend to wear the SAME armor, coz all you need is strength. Look at the armor of "Brienne of Tarth" (Game of Thrones). Alphonse's armor is huge, it's not gendered, a woman of sufficient strength & height would wear the exact same armor. edit: sorry lol, sometimes i forget we're talking about fiction & art. Sure, you could absolutely make it gender-exaggerated if you want that aesthetic 👍, it'd look badass.

  1262. Yeah. I don't get why people think of education as a competition, student vs student, with prizes at the end. I listen to debates about the use of cognitive enhancer drugs (like Ritalin) in education, people say that it's not fair "coz it's cheating". That makes no sense to me, because it implies that the point of schooling is not to reach levels of competence, but rather to see where you fit on a social-status ladder :( It's all about scoreboard rankings, but we just wanna Level.

  1263. Plutonium is an element, the ability to at-home print designer elements outof a library of basic sub-atomic particles is a long way off.

  1264. I could just as easily dismiss your opinion too because you never mentioned the biochemical nature of neural activity. You didn't actually dismiss anything.

  1265. But who are you or I to dictate that a party's policies are good or bad? The safest (least corrupt) way is to poll the entire nation's populace to decide such things. Oh i agree, the Republicans are idiots, but for me to be in a position where i'll deny them what they want, it would make me a dictator. I don't think anyone should be so self-righteous that they think they have the right to have such control over others, it's narcisistic. One should always be willing to accept they're wrong.

How much ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT-DEMOGRAPHIC revenue would he lose, by simply growing some intellectual honesty & not lying to himself 🤷🏽‍♀

Their purpose here is to distract you from talking with eachother. Look at how much of the chat they have already dominated (seriously, count it). Ignore them and have your conversations regardless.

Much of the most powerful and damning data collected was as simple as which cellphone tower his phone was connected to at the time - this is the data used to gain his (approximate) location. It's the data that map was displaying, as he shifted from tower to tower as he travelled around during the day.

And the blip lasts so short a time (a planck-time) that there is no time for ANY physical/chemical interaction that could be defined as "continuity", let alone "living", let alone "thinking"... Then "i think therefore i am" is wrong. and also: frosted butts

Sure, there was nothing incorrect in there. But there was just nothing in there, period. I feel like i just ate a pack of ramen noodles, no nutritional value.

  1342. 0:48 approx 22% of China's entire urban housing is UNoccupied (ie: only 78% is occupied). 7:53 90% of homes in China are owned by their residents. How can 90% of homes be owned by their residents, if only 78% of (urban) homes even HAVE residents? I guess the "urban" descriptor is the key. In non-urban areas the % of homes owned by residents must be much higher than 90% (perhaps 95%+), and this offsets the low 78% occupancy figure for urban homes, to end up with 90% of homes being resident-owned for all of China (urban & non-urban). Tho i do wonder what the % is of urban homes that are resident owned. We know it's less than 78%, but how much less.

  1343. @DurexDurpaneu2 what i'm saying is that these EEG Neurofeedback devices haven't significantly changed for decades. They ALL promise controlling your computer with your mind, and they ALL barely work at all, it's always been this way. Giving only one axis of control at most - and it's hard to tell if the results are legitimate or just random fluctuations. Example: this guy trying to activate "invisible", you couldn't even tell if it was connected or not.

  1344. Human skin is actually pretty strong, quite strong enough to hold a mere 1 atmosphere of pressure inside you - no blowing up, no blood boiling. When you go underwater, you are dealing with much higher pressure differences, that's why the bends is an issue there. I recall a story where a hatch malfunction exposed a guy to a near vacuum for 30 seconds. He blacked out after a few seconds, but once they brought the pressure back upto normal he started breathing again and was fine. Light bruising.

  1349. Yeah it's a worry. There was this "Pictures For Sad Children" comic strip about it, someone from the future freaking out about how we still use metal water pipes. Apparently one way to reliably raise global intelligence levels is to address nutritional deficets in children in poor countries asap, as even slight stunts in brain development during childhood can & do turn into a notable lack in adult intelligence averaged over the entire population once that generation grows into adulthood.

  1365. The reason you've heard of 51% in relation to the "majority shareholder" concept, is because if you don't have more than half of all available shares (ie: 51%) then it will always be possible for someone to buy all of the rest of the shares (if other shareholders are willing to sell) and get a bigger majority than you. But if you have 51% then no-one can do that. It's just risk mitigation, to ensure you will REMAIN the majority shareholder.

  1368. but since we are a part of nature, it's more like nature is throwing a spanner in it's OWN works. If human technology is nature committing "evolutionary suicide" then far be it from we humans - we mere integral cogs in nature's bigger system - to question nature's inherent fate. Are we natural or not? You can't have it both ways. It's like the God debate: Why would a God give us as a species the capability of logical thought, then demand we forgo it to have faith in his unlikely existance?

Without such tests - people will sell you any useless snake-oil saying it will cure anything and everything. Homoeopathy has been tested in this manner, and it fails.

If it were upto nature we'd all be torn apart by lions. Nature is cruel.

  1435. It is entirely accurate for Alain to say that to him - a secular person - the notion of an after-life is subjectively insane. It's not insane to you, but it is insane to Alain. And honestly it's insane to a lot of well educated people. The intellectually honest truth of the situation is that there is no evidence pointing to the existence of Gods and/or an afterlife that doesn't have an equal or better secular explanation. Therefore as far as we can assume - Gods and/or afterlives do not exist

  1438. And yet - the linkages i pointed out between Economic Libertarianism and Violence, are patently obvious to all. War is one of the most profitable institutions around. The free market loves it. In the socio/ethical void of Economic Libertarianism - violence thrives. The 2005 movie "Lord of War" was an easily digestible pop-culture illustration of the link between Economic Libertarianism and Violence.

The first one is SCEPTICAL (not supportive at all) of Allan Savory's claims in this video, the 2nd is about an unrelated Indian forest. What's the game Thea?

  1443. @OhThatJason Think of it like this: if you were videotaping 20 friends, all together in a group shot. They are all holding blinking LEDs. The video will be able to see all 20 individual blinking LEDs, it's no problem as long as it's in focus. eg: watch?v=SoZTWBGPGvE Also when you add into the mix a camera's ability to zoom, it helps even more. You could be in a room full of BILLIONS of blinking LEDs - and zoom the camera onto just one of them.

  1455. What's most strange to me is that they'd actually publicly patent the inflatable stealth technology. Are they morons? It's already a very common practice in industry to NOT patent inventions that you absolutely want to keep secret, but instead just rely on internal secrecy. So maybe the patent was trying to send a message of "this is the stealth tech we're using, so look for this everybody, & don't look for anything else" as a sortof red herring to discourage people from investigating whatever their real stealth tech is.

Is there? When Brain damage comes into play though, that's where it's debatable.

  1484. Agreed. She's way too vague, no substance. She says we should be replace farms with Permaculture. This is rediculous, permaculture requires more land, and more labour than farming does. Does she think we should all be farmers? We live in a professionalised society, because professionals do things best and most efficiently! Farmers are the best at growing food. Architects are best at designing buildings. Maybe she should write books about that instead.

  1504. The aircraft question was just recently posed to me. It's a mixture of Bernoulli's principle (lifting wings) with flaps, and basic deflection (ie: a rocket's fins). It depends on the design of the plane. An interesting followup question is "will it GLIDE?" and "will it glide upsidedown?" Water has a slight blue tinge. But most of the blue colour in oceans comes from the reflection of the sky. On overcast days you'll note the oceans are significantly less blue and more grey.

  1515. You dismissed the sunshade idea pretty quickly. You wouldn't put a lens up there in space; You'd use mylar MIRRORS to reflect sunlight away. If you give the mirrors small reaction-wheels so they can control their rotation, then they can act like solar sails to adjust & maintain their positions. It'll also give you the ability to make a giant distributed space-based death-ray, if you focus all the mirrors on a single location. Or you can use that same death-ray to boost light-sail spacecraft around the solar system, and even to other star systems (similar in concept to the "Breakthrough Starshot" project, but that uses ground-based lasers instead). The same tech could also selectively light-up anywhere on the night side of the planet, so you can have 24hour daylight if you ever wanted to boost some crops, or give a melty helping hand to a snowed-in city. The mylar film mirrors are incredibly light-weight, it's all very easy to launch and folds out to a huge mirror size. We've already had practice with solar sails in space, and this isn't really that different.

Please be careful, use of force is not a toy!

To kill all the bacteria in your gut you would have to consume thousands of DIFFERENT types of bacteriophage strains. and since there's always genetic diversity within a bacteria's population, a total bacterial eradication is pretty hard to pull off. You'll always have some immune mutants that will save the population from extinction, and quickly repopulate.

An IQ of 195 would be smarter than anyone else alive on the planet ATM. An IQ of 250 would be well over the smartest human who has ever lived in the existence of humans so far. I'm not sure anyone has a measurable 250 IQ. The further away you get from the norm, the less reliable the results get. I'd take anything above 150 IQ with a pinch of salt.

For example there are robotic surgical techniques that track the movement of the heart muscle and automatically operate around it, thus forgoing the need to stop the heart for surgery. Some groups are trying to use a mix of techniques (incl soft-body physics) to help anticipate the constant lower abdomen organ movement caused by breathing. Still early days though afaik.

  1566. why do you need to avoid being eaten by lions? to clothe yourself and live in cold climates? to need to live past 30? to farm? to read and write? to understand the world around you? why do you need antibiotics? why do you need phones? why do you need satellites? why do you need computers? Transhumanism is merely inevitable technological progress. The answer as to "why" is as obvious as the answer to any of the questions above: "It prolongs and enriches our delicate lives".

  1576. If the CIA ever had sufficient evidence that Saddam had WMD, then why are we even having this conversation. The Evidence was apparently good enough to go to war over... but not actually good enough to convince anyone he ever had MWD after the fact. Yeah that's some evidence. PROTIP: The evidence WASN'T good enough to goto war over. The CIA isn't considered believable anymore, and should be "the first against the wall" when this PATRIOT-ACT and PRISM shit finally gets rolled back. (If ever)

It surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the tissues together. To answer your question: Yes, it is in every organ. It is the most common protein in our bodies.

  1579. Organ donation used to be opt-out in Australia. When a few years back they changed it to opt-in - i signed up with barely a 2nd thought. I think that all of those years when it was an opt-out desision - gave me time to "get used to the idea".

  1580. The question always in my mind was "according to who?". I find it troubling to cite figures from a regime that relies on censorship so much. In what way would any such figures be legitimate? Imagine if the world censored talk about slavery for the past few hundred years - and then someone releases statistics showing how happy slaves are and how great slavery is. Why would anyone beleive such stats, if its so great then why are we being censored from saying otherwise. Obviously its NOT great

  1581. You'd want it to be see a see-through screen for that to keep the lag low (no cameras), and unfortuantely i doubt that'll do that (it would add too much complication to this -primarily VR- gaming device). A shame though - because if i get where you're comming from - the Occulus would really reduce the visual lag that tends to plague AR displays. Oh well, at least this will be bringing low-lag AR a little closer to fruition though, but we'll still have to wait. On 2nd thought, lets use cameras.

  1594. Because your society isn't bad enough to prompt you to fix it by becoming involved and actually educating yourself on the available candidates. (ie: you think there's only 2 available candidates. lol no) If you move to China, you may be rudely surprised by problems you never had to face where you live currently - such as in-your-face corruption, censorship, lack of free speech, lack of free press. If you're ok with that, then ok fair enough. But for some of us these things are vry important

  1595. @Danraemon It's because they were marketing and PR people, their whole job is to manage the company's image. They take it very seriously, and normally give a lot of thought to any public statement they make, to avoid things coming back to bite them in the arse. ie: to avoid PR risks. To have to make a sudden statement about what their product was all about, was unexpected. They had to very quickly try to sum up Morgan's possible motives, intentions and expectations before giving an answer.
    1
  1596. Oh, I agree. Democracy itself harbours corruption, just less of it than other commonly observed alternatives (monarchy, dictatorship, corporatism, fascism, China's non-socialism, etc). I say democracy is "the best we've got" based on the common alternatives. Unfortuanately i can't think of many modern large scale anarchistic experiments. I think we need a lot more technological progress (free food) b4 a nice anarchistic form of socialism can really be successful, but eventualy we'll get there.

  1607. If you could design a NEW system of Capitalism without Marketing and PR, then that would be interesting. Capitalism (as we currently know it) is a system that rewards those who control and distort information in the market (ie: less-than-truthful advertising, etcetc) - for their benefit. Those who hire the best lawyers, the best marketers, etc - Monopolize the market. Thereby making enough money to CONTINUE hiring the best lawyers & marketers - preserving their unfair market dominance.

PS: are you honestly going to drive 900km non-stop with only a 5 minute break to eat & use a toilet? Get real. I'm not sure how it works for other car companies, i'd hesitate to deal with them coz prettymuch all of them still have their thumbs up their arse, & tho some say they're serious about EVs - their actions continue to show otherwise IMO.

Sure the early adopters might be willing to do it, but most drivers out there are quite attached to their digestive tracts 😎

Then in the end the man has been successful, while the woman has been unsuccessful. Honestly, initially the man and woman were both unsuccessful in understanding the man's true desires/needs. But the woman seems rather shallow in this example anyway, we need more info about her.

I imagine that what "changed" later was the increased availability of the vaccines finally making herd immunity an attainable goal. Elon was answering these questions back during a time when eliminating the virus via herd immunity was still just a future hope, and the primary reason to be inoculated back then was to reduce YOUR OWN risk (due to vaccines not being plentiful at the time).

You could have just 10 cars in a city - shared between your overlapping respective friend circles. A call ahead time of maybe 5 minutes, they'd never be too far from you or your friends. (I'm just making all these figures up)

  1622. i've been looking for a news network like this for a few years now. One that sizes the coverage (and the effort invested in continued reporting on the story over the months) based on how truly important the story is over the longrun. I'm glad other people have the same idea. I want to read stories put into their proper longterm context. eg: The land speed record was just broken? The story should show a graph of how the top speed of cars is improving over the decades.

  1623. See, someone who supports a dictatorship only at the beginning but then (predictably) changes their mind... i wouldn't call her an intellectual worth her salt, i'd just call her an idiot.

But hey it's a subjective term, so sure, you can call her "an intellectual" if you want to assign her some authority. Low standards eh.

  1634. 1:31 I don't understand the motivation behind that. If U have nanotech, you're probably post-scarcity, so why would you even NEED to control other humans? What would that give you? Surely anything you want could be provided by nanobots. It'd be like someone in our time period trying to take over the world "so other humans don't breathe all my oxygen & use it up", it's just not a realistic problem to motivate anyone. I struggle with this idea in a lot of fiction, the cliche space-overlord who just wants to control everything. But... why? It's like building an army of robots - not to accomplish a task or do anything really - but just so you can be their leader, to play out some weird childish power fantasy. If U want to "control more people" you can just build more robots. Or do they just fear other people existing who aren't under their control? If they discovered a new star system, and it wasn't inhabited, would they not be interested in invading? They only care if there's people to subjugate? I guess I'm tainted by utopian anarchist sci-fi situations like Banks' "Culture". Once sufficiently post-scarcity - there's no real reason for politicians to exist, there's no real reason for anyone to "be in power" & control anyone else. The notion of doing so seems more like a mental illness. It would be irrational to believe U have unmet needs, & further irrational to believe that those needs would be satisfied by controlling others.

  1638. AFAIK, you can't source information from Wikipedia articles - but you can steal the references from the articles and cite the references directly, if they're any good. Afterall - at the end of the day Wikipedia wants the best sources, just as anyone does. Personally i'd frown apon a university level paper using citations from ANY general-knowledge encyclopedia (Britannica, Wikipedia, whatever) - it's simply bad form. You should trace your info to the original authors/works.

It could be possible that UFOs are everywhere but if you're too lazy to collect the proper evidence to convince people and document your claims - then you don't deserve to be believed. And if you're letting this go on, letting UFOs fly around without anyone knowing about it because YOU couldn't get off your ass to collect proper evidence like you should be doing, urgh, terrible.

  1652. Why is our curiosity endless? Curiosity in most animals gives an evolutionary advantage: the urge to explore discovers new food sources; combined with learning - it gives you the power to predict things about the world around you. If we can predict the movements of predators we can better avoid or defend ourselves from them. Then we invent weapons, fences and safe houses. Understanding the seasons allows us to better predict when and where food will be, then we invent farming.

  1682. "ECONOMIC liberal" i think you mean. meaning free-market capitalism. When American television talks about "Liberals", they generally mean SOCIAL Liberals. Meaning a society with more social freedoms. It is very important people understand this. The Republican party is a marriage between Social Conservatism and Economic Libertarianism. When you talk about Liberals - you must be specific as to what you mean. Because technically the Republican Party is full of Liberals (of a certain type).

She can't think of a 1st World Nation more progressive than USA? LOL Also it's kinda weird that she's fine with pointing out how gender labels are dumb and arbitrary, but ignores the fact that playing our stupid us-vs-them nationalistic games, drawing borders on maps to artificially seperate people, is just as arbitrary and dumb. USA first? who cares

  1698. Could this also help reverse the predeliction of gun ownership? I mean, we all know a bunch of gun nuts on various forums - maybe they can be helped with this technique. So I guess we first need to educate (convert?) some from their culture, and then go from there? I worry the memetic disease rapidly mutates in response though, eeeeuuuurrgh

  1699. Yeah I do wonder about that. I would have liked to see some sort of audio latency numbers & real comparison, rather than just the "it has no noticeable latency, just trust me dude" explanation. That's subjective 🤔 The transmitters/receivers clearly have microchips, so time is being cut up cycle-by-cycle, some systems do this with a lot of latency & some don't. Point is U can't just trust its good latency, its gotta be checked. Otherwise what's the point, we could have saved ourselves the effort of doing the whole project, by just NOT CHECKING whether the Bluetooth speakers we were replacing had latency in the first place!

Just because something has a physical basis & deviates from average, doesn't mean it's pathological and/or even harmful. It could just be normal biological difference, we all have them. Someone might be born with 6 functional fingers, should that 6th one be surgically removed just coz it's deviant? Thus "deviant" is not really a word i use. (cont...)

Sorry my last comment (below) was a bit harsh, I just didn't know how else to respond to that. :( If any member of a democracy says "my first reaction is fear"... as a phrase that really should set off alarm bells, it makes you incredibly easy to manipulate by fear-mongering politicians and/or media etc.

  1715. ok Dyna i'll answer them: - Hydrogen is an energy carrier, it is used like a battery. The energy used to create the hydrogen is like the energy you put into a battery to "charge" it. (note: this is less efficient than just charging a battery, that's one of the disadvantages of hydrogen) - Electric engines are more efficient and lighter weight than combustion engines.

  1716. What's Nuclear got to do with Copper? That's like saying we don't have enough iron to make cars, therefore we should be using diesel engines in cars (what?) I share your concern about Copper's scarcity tho (i too dread the approaching "Peak Copper", not often talked about). But we'll likely simply be substituting more copper infrastructure for Aluminium alloys of comparable mechanical properties. You may be surprised by how much electrical cabling used in the hobby RC industry (incl motor windings) is already primarily Aluminium alloys rather than copper.

  1720. I think that "brutal honesty" negates most (if not all) of the negatives of Hedonism. Thus i DO think that a blind pursuit of happiness can equal Success. The way i see it - in your hypothetical family breakup situation - the entire situation would have been avoided had all the parties been brutally honest. Perhaps this brutal honesty is an unachievable ideal, but then i imagine that extreme Hedonism would be equally rare. IMHO communication and honesty are vital to all healthy relationships

If you can't cite any such study... then how can you honestly tell anyone that it works? How do YOU even know it works if a proper test hasn't been done? Until then, you're just yet another snake oil salesman, why can't you see that.

  1723. it's a much needed pollution tax. Think of it like a river. You can piss in a river, no-one will notice. But when the whole city pisses in the river, it ruins the river. And to fix it you need to reduce the amount of people pissing in the river. So charge a river pissing tax, and some ppl will make an effort to save their money and piss elsewhere. HORRAY! In much the same way - too much traffic ruins a city. When it gets too much - something must be done to fix it. Here is a solution.

  1729. yes, unfortuantely our best batteries still come no-where near the huge energy density of gasoline. Electric cars make up for a lot of that by the incredible efficiency of the motors. But even the best engineered electric cars still only go a few hundred miles between charges - which is ample, yet still well below how far gasoline cars can go between refills. Still - now they can charge in only 5 minutes, so it's no biggy to stop off for a quick recharge every few hundred miles.

  1740. @t3tsuyaguy1 >"How are they successfully stifling voices"? It's because their minds don't work like that. They think in terms of dick waving displays of power, and revenge.

And just because you don't see the thousands of polluting cars required to maintain your small town, is merely the blissful happinstance of sprawling 2D geography limiting your line of sight.

(ie: praying for someone to get better, without their knowledge, has no effect) But non-blind studies of prayer actually show a difference. Which makes sense, if someone is sitting with you wishing for you to get better - it tends to have a psychologically positive effect. Positive thinking, and the feeling of being cared for. Basically just good bedside manner.

  1791. @filipasusanafreitas it may be because Indian culture is more embracing of psychological differences. I mean the main religion there is polytheistic, that's gotta help. No matter who you are, there's a few Deities perfect for you. There's more gaps for people to fit into. On the flipside, I'd expect cultures built around monotheistic religions to be probably more authoritarian and psychologically oppressive on the whole. Coz it's "my way or the highway".

"Messing with things we don't understand" is practically the very DEFINITION OF LEARNING.

  1795. People don't need employment. What people need is food, shelter, medical care, social interaction etc. The progress of technology is making most of our needs cheaper, easier to get. Thus we can all work less. But it doesn't always work perfectly. Sometimes housing (shelter) is too expensive. And to properly keep up with the changing cultural/social landscape we must always upgrade our phones/tvs/pcs/etc.

  1801. well that was weird. but well orchestrated i guess. He introduced a big gun into the talk in a manner ensuring panic was minimised, but still with a constant threatening presence: - He didn't walk on stage with the gun, but was presented it by an assistant, relieving the audience that the whole thing wasn't a surprise attack/suicide. - The assistant also unloaded the gun (to the speaker's approving nods) so the AUDIENCE could see. ...but that assistant seemed itching to grab that gun...

  1802. @NietzscheanMan Rob you of things that don't even belong to you? You are in a school playground, you put your hands on a tree and say "this tree is mine".

But that doesn't make it so.

  1803. _"humans exist"_, yes we do. _"the universe is PERFECT for humans"_, no it isn't. The only place we know of where we can exist, is on dry parts of a thin crust on a ball of molten magma. There are only one of these balls in existence. If we travel to anywhere else in the universe we will die. The universe is perfect for killing humans. There's just one tiny crust, on a tiny speck, where it's a tiny bit harder for the universe to kill us. If you think the universe is fine tuned for human life, then sir you are insane.

Because the batteries last so long, there are typically SO MANY secondary uses for the batteries AFTER taken from the car (eg: Stationary home-batteries), before they ever get close to recycling. You gotta remember, most ppl who are concerned about lith-ion battery recycling are probably coming into the topic from MISINFORMATION sources like BBC-TOPGEAR and other Tabloid rags, telling them that batteries will "only last a couple of years, oh no!". All of those ppl are quite misinformed. But with that foresight - you can prepare for their very predictable questions!

  1829. @sachamm I'm not sure why someone would build only a 10 person boat, when there is 100 people visibly swimming in the surrounding water. These cities are being built FOR campesinos, in their neighbourhoods. Surely it would be tailored specifically for the needs of the area, and designed for growth. If it's so successful that it's overrun with overpopulation. That's a success. And perhaps a statement of how truly shitty peasant life was, that this is a step-up. Again: Success.

Perhaps they just wern't socially engaging shows? The shows i watched as a kid (eg: Playschool) were quite socially engaging. According to my family i apparently learned some sign language from TV as a kid, i was momentarily confused last year when i tried to learn the signed alphabet from youtube and only took a few minutes "WTF!".

  1841. Great thing about it is that you don't need a hospital for it. It doesn't even need a sterile environment (unlike a blood test). You could do this at home, school, work, and the collected samples can be mailed to your Dr or a testing clinic. Because this doesn't require any training, learned technique, nor a sterile environment, it can allow you to do easy medical tests in all sorts of everyday situations. Also because it's not painful, people will have no hesitation being tested (unlike a blood test which can be a bit of an ordeal). All of these sorts of factors combined will lead to a huge influx of data for doctors & medical researchers. This is a good thing, because these-days we have computer models which sort through this sortof data and find new patterns we never even realised where there.

  1844. ...before someone interprets this as a plan for destruction of opposing/different ideologies in people's brains via a kindof targetted lobotomization. (ie: mind control) I am not suggesting destruction of any brain tissue and/or brain functionality. Merely ADDING functionality. The person may perhaps remain fully capable of ignoring the new impulses from the new device, rationalizing them away. eg: I would find a brain implantable math and/or geo-spacial co-processor quite handy personally.

They work anywhere, planets don't matter. Honestly not even STARS matter, you can have ample fusion energy without a natural star. We could easily inhabit the blackness of space in-between star-systems, even inbetween galaxies.

  1862. The secretive X-37 military spaceplane was launched exactly 6 weeks before 'Oumuamua was officially discovered, and the spaceplane is still up there somewhere. Part of me wonders if someone involved actually discovered 'Oumuamua earlier and it immediately became a military secret, the X-37 was launched to intercept what is actually a dead alien craft, and it's been up there ever since exploring 'Oumuamua & beaming back data. Then later on the ordinary scientists discovered it on their own too, but they don't have access to the sortof hush-hush space-based telescopes that allowed the military to see it much earlier (& then launch their X-37 to intercept).

  1863. I can't shake this feeling of disingenuity when listening to her. Her wavering emotional voice and passionate gestures remind me of a religious leader who has cultivated these manipulative skills.

  1896. What if planet 9 is a observation probe, or a giant ship carrying a huge scientific expedition thats studying us. Utilising very advanced (& heavy!) tech for its power & propulsion, they can hide well but can't hide their mass. Maybe this ship was manufactured from local kupier- belt objects, and this has partially created the "holes" and patterning in the solar system. There was stuff there but it got used as construction material. And maybe the resulting ship already left to do the same in another system. So what we think is evidence of a gravitational body moving things around, is infact just long ago "bite marks" on our solar eystem when some objects were harvested to create more von newman probes which left for other systems.

  1900. Alas, that is a result of mass-attention - she is giving a speech to a crowd, it can be a somewhat paralyzing experience. Coincidentally, it may well be an overload of the rTPJ that causes this reaction. Perhaps when we are confronted with the attention of an audience we get overwhelmed with too many people to empathise with at once. It's mentally taxing enough to analyse just one person's reactions in realtime. When we attempt to analyse a crowd - our mind can't keep up, the mind hiccups.

  1902. My frozen peas come with directions to take em straight outof the freezer, into a microwaveable container, then in the microwave. No need to add water! The ice that naturally(?) coats the frozen peas is already the perfect amount of water for steaming. When done i stir in some salt (or butter for a treat). As an Australian, it's a great accompaniment to a meat pie, or Shepard's pie (if it has a pastry base). you cut the meat pie in half, dunk the cut surface into the peas to grab them, then bite off that pea-coated surface layer. You essentially use the pastry-surrounded meat pie as a RE-dipping "chip" for "guacamole" of peas, constantly eating-away the cut side to create another. It's confusing, we live in confusing times, so some days you just gotta -live a little- be dying inside a little less 👍

  1903. The VAST majority of drug development is done by universities, drug companies then pick and choose what patents they will purchase FROM the universities. But universities do research based on what is most promicing and useful, not on what will "sell". If anything, drug companies actually make things worse for everyone by lobbying for DECREASED regulation (more quacks and snakeoil salesmen) and INCREASED intelectual property rights (increasing monopoly and encouraging scarcity based economies)

Each frame comes into existence on it's own, is alone, has not been influenced by the previous frame, and can't influence the next frame. All observations too would be false, there's not enough time for neurons to relay information. You know how a severed head still lives for a few seconds? In, plank-time - everything could be "alive", even static.

But don't kid yourself that you're doing the planet a favor by doing so, to create one habitat you will destroy another.

Further irony: Australia has a looong-ago introduced species of domesticated dog (dingo) which re-wilded, they came along with first human migrations over 10,000 yrs ago. Like in many lands, human habitation changed the environment a long time ago, hunting most species of mega-fauna to extinction, and changing the biosphere by regular burning 🔥 to maintain easier hunting areas. It's hard to really point at much and say "it's how it should naturally be"

  1962. @ceaos his point was that Shanghai doesn't have slums because the government systematically removed all of them, which is a bad thing. So yes, the image started off as a shallow comparison of wonderful skylines. But ended up backwards, the image was ACTUALLY a comparison of wonderful slums.

  1973. The dots are them counting something. Maybe people in the tribe, maybe animals to hunt, maybe days, maybe celestial events like lightning strikes or shooting stars during a meteor shower. 7:40 These are graphical division calculations. They are probably counting up howto fairly distribute the meat from a big hunt. This would sync well with the dots being counting. It could also be a map of tribal land control/influence, or animal density on the land. It could also be a map of the sky, dividing it into portions, if they are counting celestial events.

  1974. @roidroid in conclusion... he's identical to that politician he described early in the talk. high in social skills. low in substance.

  1975. (...cont) But maybe that was the point. Since obviously no-one has yet destroyed all life on Earth - perhaps Einstein was saying that the IQ requirement to destroy all life on Earth is still beyond what any human has yet experienced. We can take comfort in that, but that comfort diminishes with every passing year. We don't know what the IQ requirement is, is it 1000? or is it only 203? (ps: i'm just waxing poetic, i don't believe this, don't take this srsly).

  1986. It's because male-male social culture (just like any other culture) is a distinct thing, and thus interventions can be specialized for it. No, of course John beat Mary is not worse than Lisa beat Mary. The talk acknowledged these other situations and explained why it was concentrating on men. Yes, the topic of this talk does make up part of a much larger effort to fight all violence. Do not mistake specialization with ignorance of the overall complexity, all topics can't be tackled at once.

They can - and do - test these mines nowdays to make sure stuff is safe, and the vermiculite used thesedays is thus all safe. Well, 'cept for the odd annomaly like Libby mine, which was a horrid debacle. Phew

  2001. i'll explain. Because electric cars have huge batteries in them, while those cars are parked at home those batteries can be effectively plugged into the grid and used as energy storage for the grid - to smooth over peaks and troughs. Or, if they use fuelcells, and your house also uses fuelcells and stores energy via hydrogen/electrolysis (ie: off the grid). Then to save money you can just use the one fuelcell for your car and house. Your house powers down while you go out in the car though.

  2016. @MrGiftedReflex her point was not so much to introduce education into games, but to let games into education. Basically, bring the blood, gore, violence, guns, explosions and tons of action back into the schools where it has been outlawed. Coz by outlawing it from school, we are essentially outlawing boys from school. It was all mentioned as a critique of the zero tolerance policies that are alienating boys from education.

  2017. i mostly agree. However... High levels of dependance are not healthy and *could* well be Dependent personality disorder. And Society should always be ready to minimise harm from family breakups, if there's no society support then it's a major failing of that society. My major point is that the situation likely would have been avoided or the harm minimised had Alain's major points been taken to heart anyway. This family situation is not normal or healthy, disaster is thus inevitable.

  2041. @Greeb17 i get what you're sayin. But this isn't her personal project, a 1 man show, no. She's briefly touching on insights gained from the field/study of body rhythms & sleep physiology. Basically, try to look past the limits of this talk (basically just time limits) to the greater work that this is representing. I feel it would be a disservice to say that the field of sleep physiology lacks substance, just because the wondrous insights gained from it can't be described in 4 minutes.

He's hitting the agencies where they will be forced to pay attention: their income stream. The documentary is merely a weapon to achieve this strategic strike Good work.

  2059. The tslk started off and it seemed like just another neocon talking about the imaginary problems that he wants us to be scared of (immigration, terrorism, war, *rolls eyes*). But by the last 1/3 of the talk he had me seeing his point & agreeing. Cities are where the problems primarily are, and are the locations where the leaders (mayors) are the most assessable, accountable, and transparent to the democratic public. So is this what they mean by "think global, act local"?

  2060. Yeah how can kids concentrate with all of these arbitrary activities in their lives, like eating, breathing, pooping, sleeping, showering, dressing, talking, balancing, and walking. I once saw a kid riding a bicycle, do you know how complex that is? The thermodynamics alone, that kid must have been so mentally taxed trying to keep his body from overheating, mentally commanding each individual sweat gland to pump out a pre-mixed cooling solution so that the correct amount may evaporate. Yikes!

  2061. He didnt address the most important illegitamacy of chinese goverment: CENSORSHIP. To be quite honest - who cares what some naive ignorant fool thinks about things they are not allowed to know about? They live under threat of DEATH if they dig too much. China might be great, but without transparency we'll never know. The fact that such transparency is resisted with such force, tells everyone that actually china is hiding a lot and is probably terrible

  2062. Idea: As a manageable step towards an eventual Carbon trade industry. Why don't we start by forcing industries to put CO2 (equivalent) cost of their products - on the label, on the shelf. This will encourage competition in reducing their product's footprints, just on a consumer choice level, at the supermarket. Then we can think of enforcing / penalizing (ie: via carbon trading) offending companies later. I'm curious to see how this first step will result.

Just because medicines are hard to make, doesn't mean they're specifically designed that way for evil rent-seeking purposes.

  2077. The problem though is that if you were so inclined - you could find theoretical reasons to never progress in ANYTHING. This kindof conservative reactionary mantra is rooted in Ludditism, fear of the unknown.

Guns/Combustion engines, Rockets/Missiles, Nukes/Orion Project.

  2084. Combustion engines are certainly not immune from such losses - far from it, they have to deal with deal with their own conversion inefficiencies such as the Carnot limit. Electric engines come out quite far ahead there, with standard efficiencies north of 90%. The only advantage Combustion engines have is their liquid fuels - which have both high energy densities and ease of transport. Electric engines come out ahead in every other aspect.

Perhaps we should stage a collective expedition to find this knowledge? If anyone knows anything about these these 30 hour "retraining" exersises, PLEASE TELL US. Someone above mentioned "his Brainspark Software".

  2094. -Isn't optical digital? It's binary.- Edit: Ah I see your point, I forgot that he isnt using the existing tv's or amplifier's OWN optical output. I guess he didn't want to modify his existing equipment

  2095. People like textures and tactile sensation. If i am told the stars are hot, it'd still be nice to reach out and touch them to feel it.

  2097. Troublesome concept coz it's hard to disprove. When someone says that something isn't beautiful, it often says more about the viewer than anything. There are people who can see the beauty in something, and people who can't . Even a shit can be beautiful, it depends what point of view you come at it from.

  2102. @MundusPax What would happen? American mouthbreathers would cry that it was an act of terrorism, of course. I am fucking sick of people using the word "terrorism" for every act that is against your state's interest, or for every act of war, that is NOT what terrorism means.

  2103. America is a continent. That continent contains both USA and Mexico. Given the context, maybe you should think of another word to use other than "American" when differentiating your nation state from Mexico, hmm? Now try your statement again.

  2104. I don't see why this couldn't ultimately treat an entire person's body in one, automated, step by step procedure. End-stage cancer: multiple small tumours all through the body. This thing can quickly reach every single one of them, zap each one, in a single operation. I mean why not? He said each sonification takes 1 second, so that's tiny 3600 tumours zapped in an hour. Have a short whole-body treatment every week. Computers scan and find them, computers aim and zap em.

  2108. @roidroid When someone decided to market Idiocracy's Brawndo drink in real life, Picnicface was commissioned to make the ads for it in the same style as their Powerthirst video.

  2109. The sun won't destroy our solar system. We can do "Star Lifting", which is a way of mining the material from a star, making it smaller in the process, stopping it from destroying itself (and the solar system). Shh shhh, we got ya fam.

  2111. 10:55 Why (or how) would a galactic civilization ever go extinct tho? We're probably talking about trillions of individuals, there'd always be survivors, surely.

  2114. I see your point for the sake of this question: "Is a mind - separated from it's usual bath of blood-transported hormones - the same mind?" Possibly not. However I take issue to you saying that "the brain is NOT the root of all cognition" for this reason: When a person's spinal cord is damaged - in what demonstratable way does this change their personality and/or cognitive functions? What organ, when destroyed/removed, will fastest cease the body's cognitive powers? The Brain - instantly.

  2115. @crackthecorn There is a system i've seen where it quizes you on random subjects you're trying to learn at various times. It uses algorithms to estimate how long it takes before there is a risk of you forgetting something, so they quiz you on that subject just before then, as this is the best time to refresh your memory. eg: smart fm watch?v=fzNEFtZ1tY8 I dunno if KhanAcademy uses this type of space repetition/revision system yet, but they could incorporate it.

  2117. @deconverts yeah the fact that at the end of the day this talk could not cite/include any proper citations at all (likely due to the TED format), is some kindof sick irony. :( i personally want a link to the antidepressant vs placebo study he mentions. The Cochrane website has over 100 reviews mentioning depression, urgh
