>>127261 Well that is exactly why the treaty against anti-ballistic missile technology used to exits. I don't think it will change much though, you would have to be 100% sure that you could shoot down 100% of all incoming nukes over 100% of the country, or you end up with cities being nuked anyway. Plus in competitive environments like this where both nations are working on better missiles how can you even be sure you actually can shoot them down? It's a big risk to take. On top of that there are other ways they could deliver nukes that would be much harder to prevent or even impossible.
For example Russian and Chinese subs are becoming much harder to detect, it's said that Russian subs can't be found by passive sonar anymore. So if one of these subs evaded the US navy and surfaced a few kilometres from New York or LA, then what? Your anti-missile system won't be good enough to stop something that close and that sudden. They have missiles that travel far faster than bullets.
Anonyaamous 12/04/21 (Sat) 01:38:27 No. 127263
>>127262 Well, an issue with the hypersonic weapons is that they're too fast to detect, and due to their speed, they might be too fast to shoot down. With conventional ICBMs, there's at least the potential for MAD because the 15 minute time between lift-off and impact leaves plenty of time to confirm the validity of the attack, and then mount a counter-strike. With hypersonic weapons, that may not still be the case, and one would hope it would not make those with their finger on the button more prone to want to act with haste.
As far as these weapons are concerned, they very much go against the spirit of MAD, and really can only be interpreted as developing first-strike capability, meanwhile the US has been focusing on simply modernizing its existing arsenal rather than developing new weapons.
This new cold war sucks.

Tornado outbreak story update. 22 confirmed tornadoes.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/50-dead-tornadoes-devastate-kentucky/story?id=81672801 >>127266 The best that meteorologists can say is "there will probably be the right conditions to produce tornadoes in a couple days. Maybe.". It's really unpredictable, and when there's too many false alarms people stop paying attention, which was a problem in the past. A couple of years ago it was predicted a week ahead of time there that there was going to be a major outbreak, but then thankfully it didn't happen.
A "tornado watch" is when the conditions are right and they tend to blanket large areas to let people know, but a "tornado warning" is when there's direct sight of a funnel or radar-indicated rotation, either still in the clouds or on the ground. There's a huge difference between them, and thankfully even "warnings" rarely produce tornadoes on the ground.
Then, once it's on the ground it's still unpredictable. Even professional stormchasers with decades of experience have died when a tornado changed course.

Which was basically the point of vaccines in the first place... Don't know why people are expecting it to magically disappear just because people are 70% less likely or whatever to contract it. 30% are still getting it.

>>127286 Might not be like it where you live but the government thinks that everyone has to be completely immune. This is partly due to public reception of the virus. This means it's possible that the definition of fully vaccinated goes up every time the public is in hysteria. Fully vaccinated individuals are currently the only ones allowed into public social spaces. Also governments are currently implementing more restrictions on public gatherings. Definition of being effectively masked for medical professionals in Ontario is changing from 1 cloth mask to 2 cloth masks or a medical mask.
Severe cases, death cases, vaccinations. None of it matters. Goverment wants 100% removal or for the public to stop caring about it(if 9/11 is any measure people won't)

Anyways, I went and read the paper, and I'm not convinced. Even though it uses the term "cause" multiple times, all it's doing is point out a correlation. It's literally just statistics. In fact, look at this line:
>Participants’ level of physical activity was not considered due to missing data in 17.4% of the cohort. That's a massive flaw. What I find much more plausible is that coffee drinking is associated with a set of behaviors that can reduce cardiovascular risk, like a less sedentary lifestyle. And keep in mind, this doesn't take away the other effects of caffeine like anxiety and insomnia, the paper itself mentions this. "Good for you" is just the usual media exaggeration.

Most from the west seem to think that people and society of Japan and South Korea are more or less the same. Even Japanese 2D media fans seem to be just ignorant of the Koreans rather than having negative impressions.

In Canada we have various regulations around the suppression of foreign cultures and promotions of local cultures. In practice it sounds like it could be OK and debatable, but all plans born from the desire to suppress other's culture and viewpoints are met by terrible corruption. Recently the TV broadcaster lobbies are pushing hard to get YouTube and streaming platforms to shift their algorithms towards suppressing nationally unapproved content and promoting the established content. Of which the only people who can reasonably do this are TV company channels and studios on YouTube who have to be approved by a bureau. All for the benefit of nationalism, the country and yada yada.
Anyways, that's the context.
There isn't much to say about it since it's proposed effect is on corporations that compete with the Canadian TV cartel, but it's ratification
could , by the end of the decade, slippery slope to legal clauses which will cause issues with search engines or potentially user generated content in general.
Just that I'm aware of it and will deal with the issues if it becomes relevant and will deal with it in such a way that doesn't effect how the site will run. Lets hope it doesn't.

https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?showtopic=261743 E-H had a pretty big update recently. The main thrust of things is that the old pagination system was causing too much load so they've completed removed all concept of paging and now only have "First", "Prev", "Next" and "Last". A lot of people are upset by this, particularly because this changes provides a markedly worse use experience with regards to searching many pages deep since there's no equivalent "Jump X galleries forward/back", and instead users have to navigate based on gallery IDs and manually type into the URL to go to an approximate location. The admin, Tenboro, has declared that these complaints are, "brigadeering", and because of this, "I'm not actually reading this thread anymore".
Notably, there are many other changes included, such as changes to filtering and improved search parsing, many of which had users reporting issues that they were experiencing as a result of the update. Unfortunately, due to the swell of pagination removal complaints flooding the thread, many of these bug reports are likely to be be ignored.

https://www.npr.org/2022/11/02/1132950728/coral-reef-resurrected-climate-change-bleaching-protection-nat-geo Apparently algae grows on dead coral which prevents new growth, which a healthy (I.E not commercially harvested) fish population will keep in check.

Interestingly, the other company with a major game engine (Epic) has just announced a series of layoffs, about a sixth of its employees, to "financially stabilize the business:"
https://www.epicgames.com/site/en-US/news/layoffs-at-epic https://archive.ph/C3YRh (Bloomberg article)
Earlier this year they implemented UEFN, which gave map makers a lot more freedom and even struck a deal where these creators get a cut of I'm-sure-what-exactly. But apparently their profit margins aren't doing so great, and they're still fighting against Google and Apple, so they're letting go of people outside the "core business." It's interesting that Fortnite doesn't actually give them infinite fuck you money.

So by trying to use labs and chemical warfare to genocide one species they undermine the chemical warfare they are using to genocide another species. And then that even goes further because large populations of rabbits will mean in turn large populations of cats, so it undermines their cat genocideing efforts as well.

First genetically modified pig heart transplant into a person is so far a success in that it wasn't immediately rejected.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59944889 There's still a few more thresholds of possible reject he needs to cross, but it's pretty cool. Anyone with moral quandaries about it would probably feel different if it was them, as the article mentions 17 people a day die in the US while waiting for an organ transplant.

It's not like we don't kill millions if not billions of animals a year for food or even fur and yet it's somehow wrong to do it to save a life? That's absurd. My moral issues with this is that it would save too many Americans, more should die.
Also, organs sometimes contain unknown maladies and can transfer them to the patient. It's not unheard of for a patient to receive an organ and then contract rabies from it and die. Farming them should stop that. Though, it's only an issue in third world countries like the US that have rabies and again it's better if they die so maybe that isn't so good a potential benefit.

Maybe a bit too political of a story, but I find this incredibly ironic. Some guy driving a BMW with a history of road rage slams into a prius and then gets killed after firing the first shots.

Not so much cool news, but just plain bewildering to see happening from my POV.
https://www.kyoto-np.co.jp/articles/-/713337 I know it's in Nip but to summarize:
>Charges are being sought against some men and women who modified their in-game account data, with the intention of selling said accounts through a 3rd party website for real money. It's obviously a breach of the game's EULA but it really is surprising to see how far this stuff has come, from someone who can still remember the wild west days of the internet well enough. Of course, this is Japan however who has comparitavely tightened their DRM and digital laws too.

By cutting back all funding on staff and only doing the bare minimum to keep things running they can reap large short term profits for the acquisition group and at the expense of customers. Though I do not buy second hand parts, I would have surely fallen for some other cost cutting 'scam'.

It's like the usual big company thing where they decide to dip their feet into everything because they gave up being great at any one thing.

That goes without saying. I've known Newegg had been bad for some time, but I didn't have any personal experience with them getting crappier due to never finding myself in a situation where ordering from them even made sense for the sorts of things I order regularly. Just seeing how everything was handled reaffirmed to me that I'd be better served continuing to look elsewhere; I've heard the same thing from other people, but Newegg has had a very slight resurgence in recent years, particularly due to it being among the few places where you can order a GPU at times, so it had somewhat rehabilitated itself despite there also being frequent stories of people getting screwed over in various aspects of ordering things from them.

My issue with these sorts of shows isn't even that they're intended for a western audience, it's that they're made by people who don't really even know what anime is or why it's appealing.

Apparently New Line/Disney have the rights to make movies and Amazon has the rights to make TV shows, so that is why they both can make LOTR media. But more interestingly, Amazon does not have the rights to the Simmirillion or any other book that actually discusses the second age in detail even though their story is set in the second age, they only have the rights to the Hobbit and the Trilogy(including the appendices in those books). So the only lore they can use to make the story is what backstory is given in the Trilogy and the Hobbit which means a lot of what they do is going to be made up.

It seems like another Star Wars situation to me, but much faster and more dramatic. Both had a tremendous trilogy movie release, a period of appreciation, and then questionable attempts to recapture the success. These days they both seem to be using the wide net approach by throwing money at a bunch of different projects to milk the IP as much as possible for short-term gains.

And something else I thought of. Apparently the way consoles make money is not really by the sale of the console itself but the games that are purchased for it, I even heard that Xbox is losing money on every console sold.
That does not really bode well for the Steam Deck as it's really a way for people to take their steam library to a handheld platfrom, so the people using it probably already had the games on their PC or were going to get them on the PC and so they are not actually getting new sales.
>>128042 Maybe, but everybody has a mobile these days so does that help much? If the wanted to play a mobile a mobile game handheld they could(plus most mobile games are touch screen so would work better on an IPad anyway).
>>128043 Many games on Steam are not console supported so I gave up on that, I just use PlayStation for games I want a controller for. But I can understand the appeal of a steam console, not not a steam handheld console.

>>128046 >That does not really bode well for the Steam Deck But not every person needs to buy a Steam Deck to play games bought on Steam. If anything, this is a preferable situation for Valve since it means as compared to any potential hardware sale losses, they more than make up for it through sales, particularly from people with their own PC.
To give a console analogy, it'd be like if more than half the games sold for a console never even got bought by people who have a console. Just people who wanted the disc. For the console manufacturer, those sales are pure profit.

Uruha Rushia has been
terminated from Hololive and her channel is slated to be deleted.
This decision is seemingly (?) unrelated to the scandal surrounding her and Mafumafu:
As of February 24, 2022 (Thursday), the talent contract for the virtual YouTuber has been terminated. With regard to "Rushia Uruha", we recently found that there was a leak of information to a third party, including information that was not true and business communication, and we have been confirming the facts. In response to the aforementioned, we have determined that it would be difficult for us to continue management and support as a company, and have made the unavoidable choice to make this decision, as we have found acts of breach of contract, such as leaking information that violates confidentiality obtained by the company and SNS communication to third parties without permission, and acts of loss of trust, such as false declarations to related parties. We have no choice but to make this decision.

As for this video. I think it's mostly fine. I don't get why the map is what it is when there are more detailed maps available(such as Liveuamap which is also a useful source of news). And also he missed a few things but I guess maybe he isn't focusing on the the operational side of things so much. So for example he did not mention the numerous cities that were encircled in the north east yesterday. And while he did mention that the Ukrainians took back Hostomel airport he did not mention that Russian ground forces where approaching that area very early in the morning and would indeed take Hostomel again and even end up in Kiev(where they are now).

>>128142 US relations are important so they let them do it, but the Chinese mentality is that real-estate is retirement funding so they caused issues that require federal legislation. maybe it will be tied onto a NAFTA (or whatever trump renamed it as) amendment by a future PM.
Something like only 7% of Chinese own business or bank investments, large rest of them buy multiple houses. Creates problems in foreign small countries because it skyrocketed price from foreign demand.

>>128143 They might have been panic buying too if it was chinese, because the real estate bubble is bursting in the PRC and many investors are desperate to invest elsewhere. Combine this with the Chinese tendency to panic buy and scalp and it could be disastrous for the natives.
The PRC's in a really bad place right now and it could be bad for the whole world if it gets worse. I hope Xi does the right thing and steps down.

The SEGA arcade in Akihabara is now rebranded "GiGO", marking the end of the SEGA arcades.
"Sega revealed that it would be selling the remaining 14.9 percent of the shares in its arcade business to Genda back in January. Sega had previously sold 85.1 percent of these to Genda in 2020 over concerns that customers would be avoiding its venues on account of the global pandemic. Genda has been planning to rebrand all of its newly acquired arcades to GiGO since the sale. The process began with its locations in Tokyo."

>>128213 Interesting. I was watching a video recently about how the US has long since fallen out of scientific preeminence with regards to particle physics, notably conceding the research lead to Europe. One major failure was the government botching the Superconducting Super Collider project due to government expenditure cuts under Reagan massively hampering the agencies ability to function, as well as inter-governmental bureaucracy killing things further. Ultimately, the project was a reaction to CERN discovering the W and Z bosons.
That said, it's been very interesting that in the last few years FermiLab has been playing a more prominent role. Just last year FermiLab was at the center of a widely reported Muon G-2 experiment which had experimental results that disagreed with the predicted results. And now they're at it again with potentially showing that the W Boson has a higher mass than expected.
I hope this trend of discovery continues. It's been too long that the US has been out of the limelight in scientific discovery. Hopefully this encourages more funding towards education and research at the very least.

I really hope nuclear gets more and more popular. There's been a small renaissance online of people recognizing how great of an energy source it is. I wish the same would happen for hydrogen vehicles... Lithium is just too expensive, polluting, unstable, and rare for it to be a practical replacement to fossil fuel powered vehicles. Meanwhile... there's a veritable limitless source of renewable energy that the Earth is blanketed in: water, which can easily (albeit energy intensively) be cracked into hydrogen and oxygen, and used for fuel which then harmlessly turns into water.

About the New German tank, the Panther, there are quite a few interesting details about the Panther on the Rheinmetall website. Even a brochure.
It has an auto loader as well as many of the features that a new tank would want to have, all of the buzz words about things like being fully digitalised and able to connect to all kinds of networks and it has things like 'optimised shooter to sensor links' and the ability to command the tank from any of the four positions in the tank. Yes it still has 4 seats, one is for an optional specialist.
It's a bit lighter than a Leopard 2 at 59 tons, I found that a bit surprising, it's still a big tank and even if it has an auto loader it;s still got a big turret and it's covered in god knows what. Speaking of some of that god knows what, it has a Natter 7.62 weapons station which has all kinds of advanced targeting abilities, it's odd to have a .50 co ax but then a 7.62 RWS, though Rheinmetall do sell a .50 Natter as well so that could be used if it was wanted. It also has an inbuilt drone launcher which I suspect is a large driver behind keeping the fourth crewman.

Don't use magnets to wipe data off meteorites!
https://www.science.org/content/article/magnets-wipe-memories-meteorites-erasing-billion-year-old-data >In a new study, Foteini Vervelidou, a planetary scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and her colleagues have documented the destructive power of the hand magnets, which are often made from rare-earth metals such as neodymium and are typically about 10,000 times stronger than Earth’s magnetic field. When brought within a few centimeters of a rock, the researchers found, the magnets overwrite vestigial fields contained in iron-based minerals such as magnetite and reset them to the higher strength and orientation of the magnet. In an instant, a unique view into the heart of distant rocky bodies can be erased. Black Beauty, for example, is the only known meteorite old enough to “remember” Mars’s magnetic field before it started to disappear about 4 billion years ago.

https://www.wired.com/2017/02/cats-cause-schizophrenia-believe-science-not-hype/ Apparently Toxoplasmosis is associated with risk of developing psychosis, but the link between how and why that's exactly the case isn't well understood. Put another way, exposure to cat feces could potentially cause a person to develop psychosis. If true, it seems exceedingly rare for this to be an exact cause, but apparently the chief researcher on this topic maintains that the exact reasoning behind someone developing psychosis due to exposure to Toxoplasma is potentially related to genetic predisposition for some sort neurological inflammation while also during the period of brain development. Interesting stuff.

I acknowledge that it exists, but health issues that are mysterious, directly effecting our lifestyles and potentially life altering are sensationalized either in direction of fear or recklesness. If there were a strong link, you'd think it would be reported by now, but as that article says there's a lot of zero correlation in experiments.

>>128554 >there's a lot of zero correlation in experiments. Well... Not exactly. It seems researchers do agree that Toxoplasma has some role in inducing psychosis, but from the sample sizes evaluated they found no cases in which Toxoplasma did in fact induce psychosis. I think it's a little like trying to find a condition that affects 1 in 10,000 people. With only 5,000 people, it's pretty likely that you simply won't identify a single case. After all, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I may have missed it, but if not, I'm surprised no one has picked on the recent news regarding SSRIs and depression. In particular, serotonin levels appears to have nothing to do with depression, despite SSRIs being effective in some people.

it's for the medical industry to decide what medicine is supposed to be used. The study in question doesn't even have any experiments associated with it, rather it's a review of past literature that comes to a conclusion contrary to the literature.
The entire article can be summed up in one graph which is the author's grading of evidence strength.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-022-01661-0/tables/3 So, what's the big deal here? That more research is required. I guess we already knew that because it's science.

It seems that these kinds of thing are fairly complex with multiple contributing factors but a lot of it relates to really simple things. Like simply diet, excersise or stress. It seems to me that there is an internal factor to this being related to what I mentioned before but that it can be exacerbated by the external such as what is happening in your life and how your mind reacts to it and so both need to be managed.

>>128635 Maybe. It's possible that mammals would evolve to become the dominate lifeform eventually anyway. I think environment would also have a lot to do with that, even ignoring atmosphere. Even if the conditions were identical to earth but the temperature was different or maybe the biomes developed differently it might be that Dinosaur like creatures could never become dominant or even that Mammals could never dominate either.
I think that it would be similar in that we would recognise what we were looking at and be able to understand it and we may even have similar looking analogues that exist now or in prehistory but not similar in that it would necessary end up completely like we are now. Though even then, with how vast Space is there is statistically bound to be a planet like us out there somewhere even if it's not the norm.
But then we also don't know what non-Avian dinosaurs would evolve into given enough time(or even Avian ones for that matter), it might be that whatever the dominate group is eventually if given enough time intelligent bipedal life will develop. Or again, maybe the opposite and we are the product of some incredibly unlikely evolutionary circumstances and maybe life could only develop to something near human but not human enough to form a society like we have done.
