What level of PM2.5 are they considering? I cannot read the full study

Second line of the page:

> Stablecoins enable instant, borderless, programmable transactions, but current blockchain infrastructure isn’t designed for them: existing systems are either fully general or trading-focused. Tempo is a blockchain designed and built for real-world payments.

What is different in the details, no idea.

I don't think putting all your net worth in S&P would be considered diversified.

With an MSCI world, those companies would drop to ~22% exposure. Throw a bit of real estate, more exposure to your home country if you are not in the US some real estate, some bonds and you can make it drop to <10%.

> The global pandemic will tank the stock market

> War in Ukraine will tank the stock market

> High interest rates will tank the stock market

> Tariffs will tank the stock market

> IA will tank the stock market <- We are here

All those statements made sense to me at the time. And I have no doubt that one of these days, someone will make a correct prediction. But who the hell know what and when.

Diversify, be reasonable and be prepared for it to happen someday. But freaking out with any new prediction of doom is not the winning strategy.

It is not a opinion article about the current admin. It is the direct statement from the state department on a topic that doesn’t belong less here than many other general interest topics found on hacker news. A few post below, there is a petition against pesticides in France.

UNESCO stands for international cooperation in education, science, culture, and communication. That seems well within what HN can cover in my opinion.

It is one of the most 10 upvoted topics on the main page.

People seem to want to see it here and comment about it.

Personally I am happy to see it discussed here. I have seen interesting comments tempering and contextualizing the headline that I appreciate.

There are still a vast majority of articles on other topics. Those ones are easy to ignore if they bother someone.

Then maybe those todos are not todos but just regular comments?

I messed up my message, I wrote it from memory later.

I meant: At 3:17, which is the perfect fifth of E. It is B, the video is showing A.

Nitpick: The perfect fifth of G is E but the video says A: https://vimeo.com/730642802

Well, he did get elected TWICE so, seems deserved enough to me.

Clearly they cannot. They had already banned selling alcohol to kids.

No opinion on the topic but "say economists" doesn't inspire trust

> If you want people addicted to less things, design society where everyday life is less boring

I think society has never been so entertaining. I feel like we should instead learn to embrace the boredom. Life is supposed to be boring most of the time. It is healthy.

Also, with time, we can make effort to decarbonize the production chain of EVs. With ICE vehicles, they reject carbon and there are only so many micro-adjustments we can do.

And in the past weeks, America as a country has clearly signaled it didn't want friends anymore.

Isolationism at every level of society. From friends, neighbours, people with a different background, other nations.

Future looks really depressing.

Don’t have kids.

The password book of every person around me become awful over time. They don’t distinguish between uppercase and lowercase, they write bad notes, most of the content is outdated, sometimes there duplicates and overall cause me more headache than anything.

I hate password books. I don’t have a better solution though.

For now, I teach them to use chrome password manager for now and log in their chrome account when they need help. It sucks too. But at least I don’t get angry with their notes.

Hypothesize then experiment

I agree. But with great powers comes great responsabilities.

Looking at the examples here: https://x.com/kimmonismus/status/1861450051085545880

It seems pretty underwhelming compared to what was shown in early 2024 no?

I think the jury is still out on the cost benefit of AI on the long run.

Boeing

I don’t know enough to have an opinion on that.

I am wondering what would happen to Exxon if they publicly said the opposite though?

> This paper, released two weeks ago, used new modeling techniques to examine cores taken off the coast of California. Their findings show a much higher sensitivity between CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere and temperatures. The main conclusion is that with the doubling of CO2 we have experienced since the Industrial Revolution took off, we should expect a rise of 5-7C by the end of the century, instead of the 2-3C suggested by the IPCC.

As the paper notes in its closing discussion (quoted below), it seems to support the theory that there is much more warming to come. This paper also reinforces the conclusions of Hansen et al.'s Global Warming in the Pipeline (linked below) and a growing (but admittedly controversial) body of academic literature which finds that we may indeed be heading to a "hothouse Earth" future.

When we again weigh each sensitivity by the percent-area for the Earth, our global average ECS is 7.2 °C per doubling of CO2, much higher than the most recent IPCC estimates of 2.3 to 4.5 °C and consistent with some of the latest state-of-the-art models which suggest ca. 5.2 °C

It is a widely used analogy generator

Maybe she was misled by the name of company?

Exactly. And for one thing you know, there are 100s you don't know about the company.

Luck and survivor bias.

Then why narrow it by gender specifically? I would think that AI would probably work equally for both. Maybe that would not be the case for age?

Googling “are men lonelier than women”, first link is Reddit.

Second link is that one:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37563853/

> Our analyses show that women were more lonely than men also in adjusted analyses.

I don’t have the background to judge that study and I take social science studies with a huge grain of salt. For now, I will just stick to “I don’t know” then.
