Even the most pragmatic mind relies on faith every day. The faith that you won't get killed today, the faith in the scientists who are giving you the information, etc. It's impossible to know everything we need to know without someone else telling us the information, so everyone relies on faith.\n \nHowever... there's degrees to this. Faith and reasoning can co-exist. Someone can tell you something, like vaccines work, and you don't have to just believe them. You can use reasoning, recall information you already know, wether inductive or deductive, and come to the conclusion that they're probably right. You can't claim that they're 100% right, because you're not the one studying the subject, but what they say makes sense based on the other information you know.\n \nBut there's a catch to this. In order to do this you need to accept the fact that you don't know everything. That your brain, as magnificent as it is, is actually kinda stupid. A magician can trick your brain into seeing something that didn't happen, pretty easily. Reasoning is fluid. You will get information that will contradict what you knew, how you view things, and reasoning dictates that your mind will change once new information comes along.\n \nWhat I described above is most people, but there's some who are only reliant on faith. There is no reasoning. These people can't accept the fact that either they don't know everything, or that we don't know everything. Every question HAS to have an answer, and they know what that answer is, and the answer is not changeable. They have no ability to use information outside of their own brain, and will never accept the fact that they could be wrong about anything, because their whole psychology is built around these ideas. You take out one card, the whole house falls.\n \nThese people have always existed, but mostly in the form of religious fundamentalism. Now that the tales of Jesus, Abraham, and Muhammed are falling out of favor, these new tales are taking over. The faith-only mind still exists, it's just the content that has changed, and their ability to form communities.\n \nThere's so many similarities between religious fundamentalists and conspariacy theorists. A fantastic yet simple worldview that answers all questions, good vs evil narratives, the eagerness to spread the message, a righteous attitude toward anyone who doesn't believe the same things (aka \"sheeple\" or \"non-believers\" or \"gentiles\"), the ability to cherry-pick the info to their own advantage, and worse off the ability to blindly follow bad actors who exploit these people for personal gain. Their communities even start to form \"sects\" like you saw in every religion. I remember watching the flat earth doc on Netflix and low and behold two prominent people in the \"movement\" disagreed on the model of the flat earth, and decided to form their own groups. \n \nI know a couple of these people, who now thing that George Soros and the Rothchilds are behind everything terrible in the world, but 10 years ago it was Sharia Law that was terrible with the world, and ten years before that it was Satan.

Just the same as we cant realistically scale - in our minds, I mean - the distance to the Sun, or to the next closest star. We're just not there yet.\n\nEach Government in Europe only reacted to the incoming spread only after the horse had bolted. I realise there's wisdom in timing your restrictions not to stop the spread, but to dull it, and that's fine, but claim as they will that's just not what happened here (the prevailing wisdom here in the UK was that the Italians close-nit culture was to blame for the huge, sudden rise in cases. And that it wouldnt happen here). School's were still sending class trips to Italy on the weekend Italy declared lockdown (said class ended up stranded once they arrived). The scale and severity of the 'pandemic' just did not register.\n\nBoth families and individuals here have been largely ambivalent towards 'rona until they've become infected (or affected) by it. Despite all the warnings, information, and guidence made available, people - largely speaking - just havent heeded the calls for caution. Just as Governments failed to act until the virus was 'in'. Group think appeared to mirror the individual.\n\nAnd all the warnings were there. All the information we could have ever asked for was literally seconds away from anyone via the Internet. You could see what was happening in China, and then Italy, and then Spain, and then France. You could research Spanish Flu (I know that was different, but still). You could find the mortality rate. Who was most at risk, and the almost random nature of severity of infection in those who werent at risk. You could see the figures - cases and deaths - in your area. Everything. The Internet, and media, were shouting from the rooftops \"THIS IS LEGIT, AND IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!\" \n\nAnd yet, nobody really did. Or at least, only until forced to, by law in a lot of cases. Why?! My only guess is that we're just not there yet... the media has only been around for what, 300 years? The Internet for the last 30. Those early warning fell on deaf ears because an invisible virus is an abstract concept too vague to trigger the proper scare response.\n\nAnd, finally, lets look at the two groups - maskers and anti-maskers.

By nature of how much more effective it is, the immune system is going to have less time to defeat the invading virus before it's too late. Delta multiplies a lot faster in the body, so much that it's even starting to effect children and even cause some deaths to occur. Yes, at very low rates but any preventable death is a bad death. \nTotal deaths would have seemed to have bottomed out because of just chance really, both in effect of the vaccinations coming into effect and helping prevent deaths and delta variant being much more effective in that it is killing more cases than previous variants. Before delta arrived the vaccines were set to actually end the pandemic, but delta's caused it to have no real end in sight until everyone is inoculated against it and we just come to terms with a virus floating around that might just cause real health issues in the long term for many people. Some people just get unlucky, even if they were vaccinated. If their immune system is weaker and it can't build up immune cells fast enough, or the covid-19 in their body gets lucky and doesn't get detected fast enough, it can lead to a death even if they were vaccinated. Vaccinations means that when the time comes and you are infected with covid, it saves the immune system time by already having the right anti-bodies for covid-19. It saves up to if not more than a day of time. \n\nThink about it as adding to 100, with covid doing it first ending in death and the immune system ending in living. Older variants would add 2, Delta adds 2.5 and your immune system would add 5. The immune system is going to start later because it can only be reactive to new pathogens. Whoever makes it to 100 first is the winner. With delta, it only needs to add 20 (unlikely) times before the immune system can't catch up. A vaccination means that your body will take the amount the immune system adds up to 10, because it makes the immune system react faster. That means older variants would need 40 additions (extremely unlikely) and delta would need 30 (very unlikely). Being vaccinated doesn't make it impossible for someone to die of covid, it makes it very unlikely for them to die of covid. Because of high number of cases there will be a lot of fully vaccinated people dying just because there are a lot of fully vaccinated people being infected. Another issue with vaccinations is overtime, their effectiveness drops. This is like their number of 10 dropping back down to a 7. This gives delta 5 more additions, halfway between unvaccinated and freshly vaccinated. I am loosely basing these numbers off of real world outcomes. Then you could also say that if the virus adds up to 50 then it would be infectious. If the immune system gets to 100 before the virus gets to 50, then it is an asymptomatic case. It is basically all down to how many additions the virus can get before the immune system can start up, and how quickly the immune system can react.\n\nOf course, the covid in your body isn't multiplying up to 100. It is exponentially increasing. For every \"addition\" I talked about the number of covid-19 viruses would multiply by 2, for example. I don't have the numbers for how fast it multiplies or how many viruses will build up. \n\nFor the last part of that, I don't think anyone in power is going to want to lower the population. That's less people they can control. It's more likely to be someone who doesn't have any power or control to want to decrease the population and they wouldn't really have the means to create something like this.

Of course it's going to mutate.

Any vaccine available currently cannot do that, hence boosters every 4-6 months. \n\nThere are already studies showing that vaccine resistant strains are already present across the globe, because all of the jabs are non-sterilising.\n\nThe vaccination drive for covid has always been to reduce severity of infection therefore prevent deaths mainly of the elderly and vulnerable, it was never to primarily reduce infections.

She recently went so deep into it that I had to cut her off because she was sending me YouTube videos about George Soros and saying that George Floyd was still alive somewhere. Too exhausting, so I moved on. She’s the person who would seek out that information and call it “research”. \n \nBut then you have this co-worker I had, who kind of passively believed that the moon landing was faked. Me and a couple other coworkers talked sense into him and he accepted it. But it could have easily gone the other way. He was on the fence.\n \nIn both these cases they didn’t really join groups, which I think is another layer of this. Someone could be passive, join a group, and become radicalized, other could be hard wired for radicalization. \n \nBut another common thread is the person seeking to profit from all of this, and I think that’s what you’re getting at. The purposeful misinformation for personal gain. Whether you seek it out or you get sucked in, there’s always someone there to give it to you for a price.\n \nScience doesn’t profit from gaining followers, but religions, cults, and conspiracies theories do. And it’s easy to think that the warping of someone’s mind comes from these groups, but you would need warped minds to come up with the groups in the first place.

I don't think people who are religious are in anyway different to those who are not just that for those who are not a different set of collective norms has replaced the religious system of norms . For example general human values , what is right and wrong ,how to treat strangers , the value of human life, ect . We all follow a kind of norm system which gives you answers to these questions. In the past these were big religions but they have been largely displaced in the west by other systems but this also does not have to be permanent. Religion could easily make a comeback . In my country for example catholicism was the majority religion of the past which gradually became less and less relevant for the majority but we have a lot of immigrants from Muslim countries who started immigrating in the 70s . \n\n The interesting thing is that those who immigrated earlier are way less religious than those who immigrated now , you see a lot more young women with headscarfs now then when I was a child so some people are actually becoming more religious.\n\nHumans without social groups don't exist, those who believe in conspiracy theories also have their group who does the same , they don't come up with it on their own .\n\nThis has nothing to do with someone purposely misleading people.

As we have this discussion we're breaking it down into different components and it's getting more complex.\n \nYou're right that humans are a social animal, and that religion is a collective set of norms and values. But religion is also an answer to an unanswerable question. What happens when we die, why are we here, how did everything happen, etc. People don't just look to religion for norms, they look to it for answers, and religion gladly provides them. Religion is a worldview, or better yet, a reality view. As science progressed our need for religion has wained. Science can't answer all the questions, but it can answer lots of them. But here's the thing though. Before the internet it was easier to keep people on that stream of collective knowledge through schooling, and the fringe stayed on the fringe. But now the fringe can congregate just like any religion, or religion itself. The crazy people can form a group. Or even have a resurgence in a religion like you're seeing with the Muslims.\n \nI'm an atheist myself, so I haven't been to church often, but the times I have gone I saw degrees of adherence to that world view. Some of the people actually believed that Jesus lived and got resurrected on Easter Sunday, but most kinda had a \"well, maybe it happened\" attitude toward it. But they were all part of the same group. The hardwired and the passive. I even went to a Pentecostal church where there were people speaking in tongues. I was 8 and I was terrified, lol.\n \nAnother thing we have now is choice. Flat earthers might be part of a ridiculed group, but they chose to be there. They could have joined any other group and got the same sense of community, but something led them to that group. Something that was already inside them. I do think that thing varies. Faith based hardwiring, counter culture attitude, insecurity over not being as smart as they want to be, etc.\n \nMaybe that's why these conspiracy theories attract the craziest people. Because they chose to be there rather than be born into it like regular religions.\n \nAnd I guess that the difference between conspariacy theories and religion. Religion is an all-inclusive package of faith, answers, but also norms and values. Where as conspiracy theories only provide some of the answers.

From there you can have a subclass letter, before getting into numbers to narrow down what the book subject actually is. It then does a funky thing with the author's last name, where it takes the first letter, and then uses more numbers to represent the range in the alphabet where that letter is, idk, it's weird, tbh.\n\nDewey (DDC) uses 10 broader categories represented by the hundreds (000s, 100s, 200s, etc.), and then narrows down subjects by the 10s, the 1s, and then into decimals; it only uses numbers in the classification, and then ends with the authors last name.\n\n(Both systems may include year of publication at the very end. This is for the most part optional, but helps when you have different editions of a book.)\n\nTypically, LCC having more categories allows for bigger collections and that's when you'd use it (it was originally designed for the Library of Congress) - so you see it in large academic/research libraries. Because of where you see it, you'll often see more academic books in a library using LCC, whereas DDC in, say public or school libraries, may carry more topical or non-fiction entertainment (like a Guinness Book of World Records)... but that's not a rule, moreso just a consequence.\n\nThe order of sorting also is different.

Their bodies are going to be already damaged from the first infection and the second is going to be far more likely that they will die", "I actually agree with all of this. It's almost like faith is reason without knowledge. That's why it's so easy for extremely faith-based people to misconstrue their worldview as being reasonable. Of course the Earth is flat, because my eyes tell me so!\n \nI also agree that faith is not a path to truth. It's a way to come up with a truth in the absence of knowledge. Back when we were cavemen there were many things that we didn't know, but our lives depended on. Like the weather. I could get depressed that the rain isn't going to come, or it's raining too hard, or I could do a little dance that I believe will make the rain come/go away, and I feel better. Of course my little dance did nothing to affect the weather, and it's an exercise in vapid handholding, but for our psychology faith can come in handy when the world seems terrible or the stakes seem like too much. A more up-to-date example is cancer. You could have all the info but you'll never know with enough certainty if you will live or die sooner than expected. So do you just sit there and wait to die? No, you have faith that you could beat it. This gives you hope, which gives you motivation to find ways to beat it. Then armed with more knowledge that faith turns to trust, which gives you more motivation. \"I believe\" turns into \"I know\". Sometimes we need a little faith to get us going in dark times. \n \nOf course people take this too far, which is my point. Faith is a mechanism we all have, and some people squat in their faith and never leave. They allow faith to do their reasoning, eventually becoming their truth, and no outside knowledge will change that.", "I provided a X or Y situation, and I now know that many of these people would rather take their ignorance to their grave than change their mind or admit they were wrong. So yeah, not too much faith in humanity...", ">But... Even if you think the incentive is just to make money off the virus, wouldn't producing a vaccine that as safe and effective as possible be the path to that wealth?\n\nNo that's not the case. Like for example, the creators of Oxycodone knew it wasn't safe but continued to sell it regardless of how many deaths it caused. The Sackler family who created the whole Oxycodone epidemic just wanted to be filthy rich with no regard for human life. \n\nBribing millions of doctors and healthcare workers to peddle your drugs to millions of patients is an excellent investment.

This means less chance to spread and less chance to mutate. \n\nThe flu is a poor comparison since there are such a wide range of strains which may or may not respond to the vaccine. A better comparison is the rotavirus vaccine. It is a non-sterilizing vaccine introdiced in 2006 that is given to nearly every child in the US before they are 15 weeks old. Since then the number of positive tests for the disease have fallen up to 90%. The pertussis vaccine works the same way and I can just about guarantee you have had it. It's mandated for most schools, the military, and team sports. Nobody complained about it because no politician politicized it.

Second, I'm not sure where you got your numbers from, official number is below 50 million. Third, I know exactly what the vaccine does when it enters the blood stream. When I got a sore arm, I didn't find that my arm was useless and broken. Inflammation caused from the vaccine is temporary. There is a reason people with known heart damage are not taking the vaccine, because of a latent risk of heart inflammation possibly causing stress on damaged vital tissue. If I were to guess how much heart damage there is I would say around 10x the number of total deaths. Sweden stopped providing moderna to under 30s precisely for this reason, many young people in sweden had unknown heart damage thanks to a covid infection they thought was a flu.

Having done smaller events, max like 800 people, our insurance policies clearly stated that we had to follow all government regulations like capacity limits and fire safety regulations to be covered. So let's say we pack the venue 200 people over the occupancy limit and set up a merch table that blocks the rear fire exit that insurance policy is not going to cover us if a fire breaks out and people die. Insurance is supposed to be for unexpected accidents, not gross negligence and whoever underwrote the polices for astroworld will be looking at everything to find any reason they won't have to pay as insurance companies always look for reasons not to pay out.\n\nAt this event there were problems that might let an insurer off the hook long before the crush happened. You had people rushing in past security without proper screening earlier in the day, meaning who knows how many people you have in the event and not knowing what they might have brought in. Whether they had anything to do with the crush is irrelevant, you knew you had an unsafe condition and you allowed it to continue. Then we have continuing the concert for over half an hour after it was already clear people were being hurt and what looks like not enough emergency personal on site for a concert with 50,000 people, that could have violated local regulations on what you need to have on hand depending on the size of your event. Then to top it off if you can show senior people on the ground at live nation knew what was happening and Scott knew as well I think you might make your insurance policy into expensive toilet paper. All of that might mean live nation and/or Scott are liable for any money won in a lawsuit because they violated the terms of their insurance policy.\n\nTL;DR: I have no idea what insurance policies they had for this event, obviously they would have something, but it is not automatic that they will cover every eventuality especially if there is negligence involved and repeated decisions to keep the event going in the face of obviously unsafe conditions.

Travis Scott was probably never told people were dying as production and staff were actively trying to hide that fact from him. Like Pearl Jam and basically every band that had deaths at their concerts, the problem is almost entirely because of logistics and poor planning of which LiveNation is notorious for because they cut costs, have the most boilerplate operation plans, and are just generally incompetent.

I've been to Uzi concerts, I've seen XXTentacion concerts, and I moshed at an A7X concert. Never have I felt like my life was at risk because it never felt like the crowd was too dense that I couldn't breathe. Sure, you can make the argument that this would never happen at a Taylor Swift concert, but you need to understand that this audience is more aggressive and higher energy. Travis Scott is not the only artist that encourages this type of behavior as Carti, Uzi Vert, and even fucking Kid Cudi have all promoted raging. And I don't think I need to tell you how rowdy metal concerts get. \n\nAnecdotally, I have friends from UH who were at the concert. They've been to multiple Astroworlds and had a great time. They knew that something was immediately wrong before TS even started performing because that amount of crowd density made it so they had trouble breathing BEFORE he even got on stage. Once he got on, that's when it was too late.\n\n\n\n\nThis article is a fantastic piece that I think everyone needs to read:\nhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/03/hajj-crush-how-crowd-disasters-happen-and-how-they-can-be-avoided showing that there are a lot of practices that can be employed to prevent this.

It's just easier to assign a face to it all. If LiveNation had responded to 2019 Astroworld criticisms about why there were 3 injuries and had the possibility of a crowd crush in their operation plan (along with their risk assessment) and didn't cheap out on staff and layout production, people would be able to rush the stage and have a good time just like in 2019. \n\nAnd as for stopping his show: Pearl Jam stopped their show because the stage manager told them to. Plenty of people had the power to stop the show who had more information than Travis did including the stage manager, the police, and the staff who were preventing audience members from reaching Travis. From his POV, how is he supposed to know that a crowd crush happened unless production directly tells him? The guy's a dick, but even as a shitty person who doesn't care about people, he's smart enough to know that this would hurt his bottom line if he continued. From the videos I've seen, it does seem like all he knew was that there was an ambulance, but he couldn't know that anyone actually died. And at the end of the day: Even if stopping his show could have saved lives, him immediately stopping the show when he saw something was wrong would still have deaths at the concert just like Pearl Jam.", "That’s good news.

The setup of the venue contravened best practices in this area, and concerns had already been raised before the show began. \n\nI'm not saying this to absolve any moral responsibility Scott might bear. But you should understand how these things work before you start assuming that the world is corrupt in every way - liability (and thus insurance) burdens are carefully negotiated ahead of anything of this scale, and liability of this type is never going to be on the artist because the artist has no staff or infrastructure involved. \n\nScott is not going to see significant legal consequences for this because, while he might have been callous or irresponsible, nothing he did rose to the level of negligence necessary to overcome the simple fact that responsibility for safety and crowd management was explicitly the responsibility of others, and that those others failed in significant and quantifiable ways. Scott being wealthy has nothing to do with the liability structure of the entertainment industry. An expected, non-corrupt lawsuit will almost certainly not hit Scott himself with much. He may have a moral obligation to help control a dangerous crowd, but legally the responsibility for crowd safety relies on things far more concrete than the tone set by the performer.

The actual \"mental math\" for multiplying large numbers revolves around multiplying each pair of digits. So for two 8-digit numbers, you multiply all 64 pairs of digits and add them up in a special fashion. I can multiply two 20-digit numbers and only write down the product, not any of the intermediate values. But I definitely can't do it as fast a calculator, nor can any of the world record holders. It takes most good mental mathematicians still a minute to multiple two 8-digit numbers (about one second per pair of digits).\n\nAnother trick to multiplying large numbers is so simply convert it to a difference of squares. So 64 * 72 becomes (68 - 4) * (68 + 4) = 68^2 - 16 which is much easier. Then you convert 68^2 to (70 - 2)(70 - 2) = 4900 - 280 + 4.

Yet they still think they're relevant because they're loud...and that's about it.", "You can on most apps like Reddit is fun, or with filters on the computer with RES", "Short answer: no.\n\nLong answer:\n\nAny time somebody yells \"Fuck this, I'm gonna make my own social media site with blackjack and hookers!\" he either inadvertently creates yet another echo chamber that ends up being thought-controlled to confirm to the views of its owners, or he inadvertently creates a \"nazi bar\".\n\nSo, he's got his website set up using whatever money and infrastructure he pulled out of his ass. Great! Now he needs to get people off Reddit/Digg/etc. and onto his platform, which is already an uphill battle since the existing platforms are very well-established. His brand new platform needs an influx of users to build content momentum, fast. Since any and all systems can and will be exploited to its fullest of extents, he'll soon have to deal with a horde of memelords, shitposters, hate crews, and other ne'er-do-wells who will post all sorts of bullshit after getting banned off other platforms.\n\nLet's look at the first outcome. The owner implements moderation, and focuses on quality, at least according to his own standards. He'll inevitably look the other way when content suits his world views, and bring down the hammer on content that doesn't. No matter what, the platform turns into an echo chamber for his preferred political party, and everyone else is seen as an enemy that must be destroyed on sight. These so-called enemies are quietly shooed off the platform all while maintaining the illusion of 'civil discourse' even though absolutely everyone involved knows full well it's complete bullshit - but whoever brings that up also gets quietly silenced to oblivion. The platform lives on, and if you don't share the platform's outlook, then too bad for you. Doesn't matter how rational or sensible or civil you are: you will get squashed, for right or wrong. Tough shit.\n\nThe second outcome is that the owner goes hands-off. The moment the users realize this is the moment the platform becomes a haven for every single contrarian and socially unacceptable group you can think of: the proverbial \"nazi bar\", the place where nazis gather because it's the only place that hasn't explicitly thrown them out, and of course these nazis gather all of their nazi buddies and go \"hey this place lets us in, let's go!\" Rinse and repeat for revolutionaries, domestic terrorists, pedophiles, and any other group nobody wants to even look at from binocular distance (8chan, anyone?). The platform gets raided by the cops, and if you had any ounce of sense with you, you wouldn't want to be on that platform anyway. Doesn't matter how rational or sensible or civil you are: everyone will assume you happily hang out with the nazis, for right or wrong. Tough shit.\n\nModeration is another big problem since most of the time it'll be done by volunteers. Take a wild guess what kind of personality is willing to exercise power over other users, for free. Yeah. No matter what, moderation will be biased, and these people will be very interested in obfuscating their decisions. They moderate something, they don't want to have to explain and justify themselves all day long because it's really a \"damned if you do, damned if you don't situation\". You moderate, someone gets angry. You don't moderate, someone else gets angry. A power-hungry personality is in charge of keeping a bunch of Internet toddlers in line - you bet your ass that the mod will go \"I just modded, if you don't like it, then fuck right off, I have other things to do with my day.\"\n\nThat's the seedy underbelly of popularity and mass-market appeal. If one wants to have serious and civil discourse, then they need to handpick a userbase. This will quite simply not happen on any platform that allows anybody to register with just an email and a phone number.\n\nFor any serious and civil discourse, it's probably best to stick to one's acquaintances, and work those subjects over a pint.", "What is the point of this vid?\n\nThat in the past when there were no rules it was easy for evil people to push their agenda?\n\nAnd what's with all the Pim Tool shmear?

The phrase has lost all meaning it's been so overused.

Here's the [transparency report itself.](https://www.redditinc.com/policies/transparency-report-2020-1) \"Rule violation removals\" is the relevant section. The chart with the data is in the article.\n\n> The volume of content that was removed by moderators is broken down below by whether a removal was performed proactively by a mod or Automod, or whether it was done in response to a report from a user. Removals performed by mods can be for any reason specific to the rules for a given community, and are not necessarily an indication of content being in violation of the Content Policy.\n\n> The total number of removals by moderators rose notably in 2020, by nearly 61%. The increase has a few likely causes, one being more frequent use of automated actions to remove content from subreddits (primarily Automod), and another is that the overall number of pieces of content submitted to Reddit rose by 49% as well in 2020.\n\nNote that it doesn't restrict \"automated actions\" to just automod.

It will be a powerful time machine with infrared vision that will peer back over 13.5 billion years to see the first stars and galaxies forming out of the darkness of the early universe. Webb will serve as the successor to the Hubble Telescope.\n\nSize and Instruments: \n\nThe primary mirror is 6.5m (21.3 ft) across and is comprised of 18 gold-plated hexagonal deployable segments. It has a five-layer deployable sunshield the size of a tennis court. Webb will observe primarily in the infrared and will have four science instruments to capture images and spectra of astronomical objects.\n\nLocation in Space: \n\nWebb will not orbit the Earth, but instead it will sit at the Earth-Sun L2 Lagrange point, \n1.5 million km (932,056 miles) away, which will take approximately 29 days.\n\nWhat will Webb See?\n\nWebb will look at every phase of cosmic history, including the first glows after the big bang that created our universe and the formation of the galaxies, stars, black holes and planets that fill it today. \n\nWebb's unprecedented infrared sensitivity will help astronomers to compare the faintest, earliest galaxies to today's grand spirals and ellipticals, helping us to understand how galaxies assemble over billions of years.\n\nWebb will be able to see right through and into massive clouds of dust that are opaque to visible-light observatories like Hubble, where stars and planetary systems are being born.\n\nWebb will tell us more about the atmospheres of extrasolar planets, and perhaps even find the building blocks of life elsewhere in the universe. In addition to other planetary systems, Webb will also study objects within our own Solar System.\n\nAnd then, there are the surprises we can't imagine!\n\nSource: [jwst.nasa.gov](https://jwst.nasa.gov/content/webbLaunch/index.html)", "This is the most brazen thing humans have done since the moon landings...... \n\nI realize it doesn't have human life on board, but putting this many years and that much money into Hubbles replacement, only to send it up there for a 14-day deployment and then an orbital insertion burn into an orbit that guarantees we can never ever work on it..... Not to mention it's not even designed to be worked on even if we could somehow suddenly get to it.....\n\nAnd after knowing that Hubble not only had to be worked on to function from the start, but has had to be worked on quite a few times over the years....... And hubble had almost no deployment to do by comparison.... \n\nIt just scares me.

I'd be interested to see what it would cost to make a second one should something like that happen.", "What I would have really liked to see is some rudimentary support to be modular. As in, right now we will have a jwst that works very well, but still requires that it targets a star for 12 hours at a time before it can get enough data. But some time in the future, we may actually want to add onto it.\n\nIn this way, maybe we could launch more rockets similar to this one we're launching now in order to make the actual lens part even bigger.\n\nGranted, this project started as early as the 1980s, and we wouldn't have swapped it for better technology because that would have delayed the project even more. But still. My idea is if we wanted to really wanted to invest in this project, we would have not made it impossible to be expanded on in the future.\n\nMaybe it is possible, and I didn't read it anywhere, but I somehow doubt it. The individual hexagons would have to flatten out with the addition of a new bigger \"lens\" and while I think they can be adjusted, I think that only implies that they can rotate. \n\n/rant", "Just be glad you aren't one of the ones responsible for making one of its many components. You'd be biting your nails even now before the launch and several more to come.", "I'm thankful the actual orbit is way farther in space than would be dangerous in earth's orbit, but of course it still has to get there. I don't doubt for a second that what Russia did was intentional. They've threatened to drop their module on the ISS, and then there was that weird incident with a hole drilled inside the ISS that Russia blamed the USA of doing. \n\nI don't know what their end goal is here, but they're pushing against science and progress, and they could do some serious damage if they so wanted.", "I mean the deployment of the Mars Rovers is also pretty insane and they have managed to do it succesfully the past 2 times.", "I'm no expert but I think the money required would be at least 2 million.", "Would explain why they only pop up every 12 fucking years for a new release: They've been working at NASA all along.", "Come on Jamie boy!

Obviously some are poorly constructed (those older XP/Vista era HP laptops come to mind, they would fall apart all the time), but most computers will last quite awhile provided the owner actually treats it right.\n\nThat being said, overall most people break their computers well before using it for 5 years straight sadly. Or just get annoyed because \"it got slow\" (they downloaded a bunch of stuff, didn't maintenance the OS/filesystem), despite that almost always being a user error.\n\nHonestly, I view it like cars. Overall, most people 100% give up their car, or trade in, well before they need to. The issue is that most people prefer to buy/pay someone instead of doing their own maintenance (especially easy shit depending on car model, like oil changes, rotating tires, even filling fluids of all things). Of course, if people don't change their oil, do maintenance and replace parts before they catastrophically fail, cars would probably last twice as long.

And you find really smart, businessy ways to sell these opinions and get public opinion and clout behind your club and their opinions, which make them even more expensive, so the various limbs you chop off your club and sell out to the highest bidders make you lots of money over the years, all based on your same magazine opinions from the 60’s and 70’s when they were worth about 50 cents a word…maybe that’s what they were paid, anyway. \n\nTl;dr.

It’s basically a copy of the sexiest jet ever, the F15 Eagle. Better yet the Russians were able to put better engines and a couple other things due to them building it after we already produced ours. The MiG 35 is a copy of the updated F15E. \n\nDifference being the Mig was always a bit more maneuverable. Higher T/W too IIRC. The whole MiG program was a response to US jets. The MiG 23 is basically an F4 phantom. The MiG 27 and 25 were pretty unique, if even the 25 looked like stolen plans of an early f14 concept. The Russians had no idea how to retract wings. Or couldn’t due to research limitations.", "I have to disagree. The MiG-29 isn't a copy of the F-15 at all and apart from the fact that they both have twin engines and vertical stabilizers, they have little else in common. The F-15 was made in response to the MiG-25 when it was perceived as a large and long range fighter instead of the interceptor that it is. The US also made the F-15 and F-16 as part of a high-low doctrine which the Soviets coincidentally planned at the same time with the Su-27 and MiG-29. This makes the MiG-29 closer to the F-16 than the F-15. The closest Russian equivalent of the F-15E is definitely the Su-30 and the MiG-35 is an attempt to modernize the Fulcrum airframe. The MiG-23 was not an answer to the F-4 per se but an attempt to make up for the shortcomings of the MiG-21. A swing wing was used for shorter/slower takeoff and landings, a larger radar for BVR and look-down-shoot-down capabilities, and still focusing on ground control intercept tactics over dogfighting. The biggest similarity between the F-4 and MiG-23 is the variable intake ramps for sure. And the MiG-27 was based on the MiG-23BN as a dedicated ground attack aircraft like the Su-17/22. The Soviets copied certain technologies, notoriously missiles, but they were not straight ripoffs of western fighters that focused on dogfighting.

The Chinese carrier (Type-003) that is reportedly being built as CATOBAR will not be nuclear powered, and the Vishal, the Indian carrier for which a CATOBAR configuration has been considered, will also be conventionally powered.\n\nIt's also worth noting that EMALS systems are very new, with only a single commissioned ship in the world having one.

Chefs who abuse were abused by their chefs going all the way back to Escoffier. Part of it also stems from the fact that the industry requires a high degree of mental and physical excellence (something you can never truly understand unless you've achieved it) often the quickest way to weed out the weak is to push-push-push and find the people who are strong, fast, and focused enough to perform at such a level.

And the higher he sets those standards the better his reputation. \n\n\nSecond, and I don't think this is intentional, but a lot of kitchens follow similar practices to that of a cult (BITE Model). Why? Because anyone in their right mind would never work for very little pay at unreasonable hours, forsaking their holidays, weekends and time with their family and friends, to get verbally and sometimes physically abused day on end. They would however if they were so distracted cognitively, emotionally, physically. If they had no time to think about anything else, and felt a sense of duty to the people they work with. \n\n\nIn short: because the job is really fucking hard and it work to be an authoritarian to get results. \n\n\nIt's taken years for me to shake some of the brainwashing that took place.

For most construction applications, the nails function isnt to hold things together axially, as much as its for shear loads. Many building nails have nearly no head now specifically because they are not being used axially. Think about the function of a framing nail. Its not intended to resist pulling the boards apart, its to prevent them sliding past each other. If you didnt have the nails at all, gravity alone would hold the frame up, but as soon as you push it sideways the whole thing would shift and collapse.\n\nTypically, screws are used when axial strength is a concern (pull-out resistance as he says in the video) and nails are used when shear is the primary concern. Our designs have largely moved past the need for these types of nails.\n\nI also dont know that I buy his reasoning for the higher pullout strength. Both nails will have layers of fiber holding them in place, but the tapered nail will have a much higher grip strength at the head simply due to the increased thickness at that point. The wood will have been stretched further there so it will have a larger restorative force. If a straight nail had an equivalent diameter to the tapered nail, it should peform the same. A straight nail with the same diameter as the widest part of a tapered nail should outperform the tapered nail, because it would have that higher friction force throughout its length vs the tapered nail which will have less force at the bottom than the top.", "You can make wire nails by buying wire and cutting it with wire cutters, then flattening the head.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw	/r/videos/comments/qwwowe/youtube_cofounder_expresses_his_thoughts_on_the/	[ ">Watching Matt Koval's announcement about the removal of dislikes, I thought something was off.\nThe spoken words did not match the eyes. The video reminded me of an interview Admiral Jeremiah Denton gave in 1966. I have never seen a less enthusiastic, more reluctant announcement of something that is supposed to be great.\n\n>Calling the removal of dislikes a good thing for creators cannot be done without conflict by someone holding the title of \"YouTube's Creator Liaison\". We know this because there exists not a single YouTube Creator who thinks removing dislikes is a good idea -- for YouTube or for Creators.\n\n>Why would YouTube make this universally disliked change? There is a reason, but it's not a good one, and not one that will be publicly disclosed. Instead, there will be references to various studies. Studies that apparently contradict the common sense of every YouTuber.\n\n>The ability to easily and quickly identify bad content is an essential feature of a user-generated content platform. Why? Because not all user-generated content is good. It can't be. In fact, most of it is not good. And that's OK. The idea was never that all content is good. The idea WAS, however, that among the flood of content, there are great creations waiting to be exposed. And for that to happen, the stuff that's not great has to fall by the side as quickly as possible.\n\n>The process works, and there's a name for it: the wisdom of the crowds. The process breaks when the platform interferes with it. Then, the platform invariably declines. Does YouTube want to become a place where everything is mediocre? Because nothing can be great if nothing is bad.\n\n>In business, there's only one thing more important than \"Make it better\". And that's \"Don't fuck it up\".\n\n \\- [Jawed Karim](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jawed_Karim)", "Anybody has any theories of the real reason?", "It is a bad thing, and I don't think they should have done it.", "This seems like a really weird place to express your thoughts, in the description of a 15 year old video.

Nope.", "it's clearly corporate channels and the big youtubers who are fighting for it.", "Because \"the wisdom of the crowds\" is often better in theory than in practice, and can also often be corrupted in the present day with illusory votes for what makes something \"great\".", "This reminds me of how reddit used to allow you to downvote and comment the ads that show between posts.

Anyone know what the reason is?\n\nI assume it's pressure from corporate advertisers who don't want any negative sentiment on their videos. Just a guess though.", "Without being in the room when the decision was made, I would bet this is a case of chasing a metric. In this case, making the average watch time go up. If you click on a video, and see it has a lot of dislikes, you might just hit the back button. YT doesn't like this. They want you to watch and engage with more content. If you see the dislikes before you even click even worse.\n\nNow, you have to click, watch a bit, and decide for yourself. That watch time metric will move, they'll ignore all other metrics, such as user sentiment, content creator sentiment, and claim it a huge win. More than likely someone rides the coattails of this to a promotion. I work in tech / big company too and have seen many cases of people wanting a single metric to move positively so badly they lose the big picture.", "Actually your answer sounds more realistic. I think you can turn off likes/dislikes on videos.\n\nInterestingly, is watching more content the end goal of YouTube. Their goal is to make money from advertisers and watch time isn't necessarily the best way to do that. If people are annoyed by low quality videos then they may be less receptive to adverts. Just a thought.", "The only time it would make sense for youtube to alienate normal users is if it means they are going to increase profits by doing so. I don't know exactly how but if I had to guess I would say it's something to do with increasing their advertisers exposure because people will theoretically watch a video for longer if there are no dislikes to indicate the quality.", "> Without being in the room when the decision was made, I would bet this is a case of chasing a metric.

They want you to watch and engage with more content. If you see the dislikes before you even click even worse.\n\n100% what I figured when I heard about this as well. Many investors/CEO's and such honestly have little understanding about the actual technical details and lack deep knowledge (or much knowledge at all) about the actual products/services they're in charge of.\n\nI've seen many businesses that were doing fine fail, because some dumb owner who bought in, or stopped working a LONG time ago got some dumb idea in their head without listening to actual experts.\n\nThat's the issue with metrics. Numbers do not always mean success, especially in the long term. They can quantify certain things, but should not be solely relied on, as they're inherently flawed when other things are not taken into account as well.", "Probably now you have to watch initial ads. Before you could be scared away by dislikes.", "Goodharts law in full force: \"when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure\"", "Same reason Netflix took down customer reviews. Now all you have is a metric of how much a show \"matches\" with you. You have to watch it yourself to ~~find out it's hot trash~~ engage with the content.\n\nIts when making a customer-centric product succeeds and turns its focus on becoming a metric-maximizing product.", ">Interestingly, is watching more content the end goal of YouTube. Their goal is to make money from advertisers and watch time isn't necessarily the best way to do that. \n\nMore accurately, viewers will hit the back button while the ad is playing at the beginning of the video if the dislike ratio is high. You're right. It's not about watch-time, it's about ad watch-time.

Until then, I think the greater good is to have a gas stove.\n\nOn the bright side, this dude just lost all credibility for all his videos.", ">How do you simultaneously argue that gas stoves provide a tiny fraction of the oil and gas industry's revenue while also arguing that they contribute to global climate change in any meaningful way.\n\nIt explains that in the video.

The gas industry is pumping marketing into stoves because its the only thing that you can get people to care about.", "That tiny fraction is what opens the door for the companies to push for gas space and water heaters.

But that discussion is not what this is about.

How TF you think those winter storms got so bad in the first place?", "How do you know that the apartment complexes aren't installing gas heaters so they install gas stoves while they are at it?\n\nThis is a plastic straws issue. Sounds like you really are attacking a problem but the reality is that you are overblowing problem number 582 out of 600 instead of focusing on something that has impact.\n\nBut hey, as long as you have a villain.", "Nice out of context quote and response.\n\nUnless you are going to make the case that gas ranges are the major contributor to the global climate issue, which you can't.\n\nSorry about your post.", "It's time to stop spamming this.", "Before you say I'm spamming this, maybe check the posting times and see that mine was the first one posted. Hard to spam new content", "Gas is too general of a term. Propane Tech here. (Hold the King of the Hill jokes till the end please) Just need to give God's Gas some love. \n\n\nPropane is a clean burning fuel. Plain and simple. Propane is also heavier than air which is a key issue when talking about health and safety. Leaks will usually run out of cracks in houses like water rather than pool in attics where it can be ignited by recessed lighting or other common electrical sources which you will not find under a house. Propane produces no CO when it burns, CO on a gas appliance is created by soot or other gunk that burns in the flame. Electric stoves do create CO however (see article in video). \n\n\nElectrical systems aren't cheap! getting the local power company to upgrade your service can be thousands of dollars if your equipment is old or not sufficient to handle the demand of a HVAC system. \n\n\nWhat about power outages? Warmth is very important! A Propane stove can heat a house with no emissions. (That's less emissions than it running on the grid, technically) Propane generators are great too and can keep your water running and fridge cold. \n\n\nPropane is most popular in rural areas (no natural gas city piping in the woods) but is much safer in general. Propane is stored at a MUCH lower pressure than natural gas. Almost 10X less. Average pressure in your everyday grilling Propane tank is about 120-200 PSI... The walls of the tank are made of same steel as the protective collar. Like 1/16-1/32 inch steel plate. Nothing in the \"tank world\" Natural Gas, however, takes large amounts of infrastructure to transport and store. Its like 2500-3500 PSI! massive and heavy steel wall tanks and huge pipelines... Crazy. But we see city buses running on it and in millions of homes. They used to run on Propane... but that was a simpler time. \n\nIn summary. BIG GAS BAD! I agree. If your choice is between Natural Gas or Electric and you live in a densely populated area where city code may prevent you from having a Propane tank and system.... well then this video is for you! Also, it needs to be installed correctly, by a licensed professional or ALL of what i just said is irrelevant. But love Propane, bc it loves you! <3 \n\n\n(I do this for a living everyday so I am not going to link a bunch of biased articles supporting anything... you can find articles supporting all sides of these arguments.. Just my professional opinion)", "> Electric stoves do create CO however\n\nHow? They do not burn anything. Especially if we consider induction stoves, that is not possible. I know you are referencing some link in the video but there are tens of links, can you please be more specific? (Edit: actually I could read a couple and in one it says exactly this so idk where you get your info from).\n\n> CO on a gas appliance is created by soot or other gunk that burns in the flame.\n\nYes, but that's part of it: CO is produced when combustion is not complete, and for the applications we are talking about (because of small space and reaction time) there definitely is non-negligible carbon monoxide production. The small portable propane stoves can [exceed 250ppm of CO produced for example](https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/CO02.pdf), and while these are surely above the concentrations produced by an household propane stove, it just shows it is produced.\n\nSource: studied combustion in engineering.", "So you're a propane technician yet you know absolutely nothing about the climate effects of propane? Or, well, gas or electric stoves in general.\n\nPropane is extremely bad for the environment.\n\n\n>Just need to give God's Gas some love. \n>\n\nThen why are you talking about fossil gases instead?", "That is lacks all logic.\n\nWhen an apartment building is built, there are no tenants to \"get them to switch\" to gas. That's when the initial gas/electricity decision is made. It would be a major renovation for an apartment complex to switch stoves from electric to gas, particularly if there isn't already gas water heaters and furnaces. An apartment complex isn't going to rip out walls in all their units to fun gas all over the building because a few tenants want a different range. \n\nAnd even if landlords all over the world are doing major renovations to install gas ranges, natural gas use in houses is such a minor part of the CO2 loading that it is ridiculous to even pick that fight, unless you are just looking for a villain to fight with. \n\nGood lord, some of you will believe any propaganda that is fed to you." ]	11	videos	It's Time to Break Up With Our Gas Stoves - Climate Town
