“China has much more to gain from resumed testing than we do,” said Dr.[Siegfried] Hecker, the former Los Alamos director. “It would open the door for others to test and reignite an arms race to the peril of the entire world. We shouldn’t go there.” This is the world Trump and his enablers want.

www.propublica.org/article/we-d... it really was in play well before he was elected — before Obama's first presidency, even Trump may be an amoral garbage fire, but there were some extremely organized and productive people laying the tracks ahead of him

Oh, it already is. Same thing happened with "Blockchain." Lots of people were talking about "how do we integrate with the blockchain?" And then I'd ask, "for what?" Nobody seemed to have a good answer for that.

What part of the straight line from Taft to Trump wasn't telegraphed by the GOP generations ago? Yeah, you didn't pay attention to Ike deporting Americans or all the fun with newt, but didn't you read the history books before they burned them?

Then give the fnording machine the emotional bandwidth needed to live with the data it's given.

Best part of climate change is the exposure of government corruption by putting under stress systems that have rotted from within. (c.f. Arab Spring, etc.)

People aren’t freaking out nearly enough about what the Chevron decision could mean. sounds like a boring admin law dec’n, but the consequences will be widespread & catastrophic if it goes the wrong way

We're going to be hearing a lot about the SCOTUS case on the Chevron defense soon. This is important. And it's one more reason the Supreme Court theocrats are dangerous. www.scientificamerican.com/article/supr...

Yep, the president's Gaza policy actually gets failing grades from surveyed Middle East scholars, with over three quarters saying the policy has had negative impact on advancing peace in Israel/Palestine, on US interests in the Middle East, and on America's standing in the world:

I think it's safe to say a healthy majority of Middle East experts have been yelling at the Administration to do the exact opposite of what it has been doing the last eight months and that may explain some things

Adding additional storage or generation to the grid does you absolutely no good when you have an incident like this that disconnects your house from the grid.

My reaction? I shall impose peace, prosperity, and harmony on the Holy Land theme park. It'll be a Potemkin village for religious diversity as a distraction from the true global region of worship of the machine overlord. Yes, I am all out of mercy.

Programming ain't about automating the routine path but instead handling the exceptions and Automated Interpolation is the least efficient means of sensibly dealing with the abnormal. Hence every AI project is all about the delusions of adequacy from getting the easy stuff done.

Fun fact, the one element of "broken windows" that has legs is that public retreat from communal spaces because they are unpleasant reinforces that erosion. The biggest problem is that police operating under this theory inevitably serve as their own "broken window" themselves

I don’t think people appreciate that increasing the number of people on sidewalks does more to reduce crime than cops.

Our popular culture really does do a lot to reinforce the idea that an eye for an eye is actually great and works out awesome for everyone.

Metric tons worth of popular culture built around the idea that you can kill anyone you want if someone you love gets hurt. Almost nothing in popular culture about the downsides of murder sprees. Maybe not great.

One editor persistently asking "Did that happen, though?" would leave the Wall Street Journal opinion section a clean soothing expanse of blank paper

That does sound awful, when did it happen, exactly?
