It was a rushed job that had to get done, because a Chinese lab intentionally let an engineered virus onto their people. This is not disputed anymore [...]
Nope. It's not disputed anymore. You're just mistaken about it.
You might want to re-read the Brandenburg v. Ohio concurrencies. Shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theatre is given as an example of a rare case where such speech *can* be prosecuted, because it is "a classic case where speech is brigaded with action."
Why is it so difficult to use explicitic wording?
If I knew what that is, I might try.
When "action" and "reaction" aren't well-defined, or even sensible. For example, during preacceleration of a charged particle (the Abraham-Lorentz force).
And in the case in question, where entropy is generated.
You're correct. The poster above you, who claims an obvious and inescapable result, is ignorant of the physics involved (which is why it makes a compelling problem in the first place, and is why it entered the collection of stories about/around/by Feynman).
The committee hearing focused on possible compensation for victims of what has been called "the worst miscarriage of justice in British history."
How short and insular people's memories are.
I think the key here is that some websites will use browser fingerprinting to track you.
This will use data that websites typically need to function correctly so it's not a good idea to mess with it when switching to incognito mode. Things like what fonts are available for use and so forth. Messing with some of this stuff could cause some websites to break which you don't want to happen.
And if you replace some of these factors with static lists to make it harder to differentiate incognito users, well, it also becomes easier to guess when a user is using incognito mode. Then the website can block them completely making incognito mode useless.
I suspect Google tried to have a good balance here between privacy and stealth, as well as a balance between accurately informing the user and informing the user in a way most people can understand. A court decided they did not just a bad job, but a legally liable job.
We now live in a world that, for better or worse, AI voice reproduction exists. If you record your voice and distribute it in any capacity, it can be reproduced now, and in the end everyone will have to accept that.
Focus should be on preventing fraud (via impersonation) as well as money-making off of someone else's voice without their permission or compensation. Bujt outright stopping it? Horse has left that barn already.
[...] language proficiency at this level of journalism just doesn't exist any longer - it seems to be whoever is willing to type up copy and charge less than an AI for it will get the job.
Perhaps you mean an em-dash rather than a hyphen there, and you
I think Archangel Michael was thinking more of people like Al Gore. https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem....
If I had become world-famous for warning that the seas are going to rise and drown us all, I probably wouldn't invest heavily in expensive property right next to the sea.
Cute link! Any article containing "Climatard" is definitely a winner.
Is three miles away across nearly sea-level ground "right next to the sea"? Is something on a 200-foot-high cliff that rises nearly vertically from the ocean? Perhaps both are. But one is going to be flooded far, far before the other one is.
Obviously the wetlands beavers create will sink a huge amounts of carbon over their lifetimes. It’s strange these researchers have neglected to mention that. They also never seem to mention that higher CO2 concentrations increase plant growth in general, as do higher temperatures. They focus heavily on “runaway warming” and positive feedback loops, but never mention the significant sources of negative feedback. Furthermore, these positive feedback loops always seem to relate to methane, a potent but not persistent greenhouse gas.
