Russia announces it will leave the International Space Station, and the pope issues an apology to Canada’s Indigenous people. #DailyShow #Comedy #TrevorNoah
Russia wants to end its ISS involvement. It could barely manage to keep Mir going, and it’s got fewer resources now than when Mir was available. It wants to scratch build a new space station, when it was ESA and NASA contracts keeping their program afloat.
Good luck with that.
US and ESA now have ability to get astronauts to ISS without Russia, so they lose on that front too.

I wrote this back in 2003.
CAPE TOWN (AFP) - Residents of a small South African coastal town are threatening to declare all-out war on baboons who have terrorised pre-schoolers, raided homes for food and urinated on clothes after pulling them out of closets.
This is by no means an isolated incident:
Monkey uprising overruns Bangladeshi town.
Monkeys terrorize Indian government.Monkeys invade Indian embassy in Nepal.
(An alliance with Maoist rebels perhaps?)That’s right, there is growing evidence that monkeys and their relatives are plotting to overthrow human civilization.
You think they are cute hairy little bare-ass creatures, but don’t let the sly beasts fool you!
At some point in the year 2004, the Moon will align with (something or other) and unleash harmonic forces that will cause a great awakening in the consciousness of every ape, monkey, and baboon… spider monkeys and lemurs, too. Then the little monsters are going to rip and sack their way through the unsuspecting nations of the Earth.
Many leading humans have been aware of this simian conspiracy for some time. Why do you think experienced ape-fighter Charlton Heston was named to lead the NRA a few years ago? Heston is out of it now, but others have taken his place in preparing our resistance to this onslaught of subversion and gorilla warfare.
Stock up on ammo, guns, and bananas!The conspiracy seems to be concentrated in the Indian subcontinent. An attempt to gain control of Indian nuclear weapons at an early stage?
Can we be sure that all of our posters are loyal humans? Couldn’t one or more of them be the proverbial monkey pecking at a keyboard, sent here to spy out the potential Resistance. Hmmmm?
The Truth is Out There, somewhere.

My prediction: tons of new plants will break ground, be built (or mostly built) and then sit idle for years. It’s what usually happens to new plants. Companies aren’t going to flood the market with product, and excess capacity is VERY expensive to carry.
I’m not denying that the computer chip industry couldn’t benefit for $76 billion in subsidies. I could also write a better newsletter with a $76 billion taxpayer subsidy. But is subsidizing the highly profitable computer chip business the best use of limited resources?

I think that’s the right take, but they’re also looking at bringing manufacturing of these chips back to the US instead of relying on foreign factories. Ultimately, it makes sense to manufacture closer to where you consume the chips, but is this the best use when these companies are reporting massive profits generally?

Yes - but the build time for a new plant is 18 months after breaking ground, followed by a minimum 6 month ramp.
There are facilities existing that can be brought up quicker - but they need to be equipped with mfg tools, it will take months to build, deliver and install those.
Existing capacity that COULD be brought up quick is probably already in use.
Looks like Ted Haggard is back in the news for the same reasons…

In the long run, you are definitely right - it is better to do it in the US. US costs have come down to the point where we can compete with Asia in mfg costs.

The article (apparently from 2010) includes the following:
As a constitutional principle, the Fourteenth Amendment is not confined to its historical origin and purpose, but is available now to protect all human beings, including all unborn human beings. The Supreme Court can define “person” to include all human beings, born and unborn. It simply chooses not to do so. Science, history and tradition establish that unborn humans are, from the time of conception, both persons and human beings, thus strongly supporting an interpretation that the unborn meet the definition of “person” under the Fourteenth Amendment. The legal test used to extend constitutional personhood to corporations, which are artificial “persons” under the law, is more than met by the unborn, demonstrating that the unborn deserve the status of constitutional personhood.

He has also been charged with 48 additional counts of attempted murder and 48 counts of aggravated battery with a firearm for each victim who was struck by a bullet, bullet fragment or shrapnel, officials said.“I want to thank law enforcement and the prosecutors who presented evidence to the grand jury today. Our investigation continues, and our victim specialists are working around the clock to support all those affected by this crime that led to 117 felony counts being filed today,” State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart said in a statement.

re: #69 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷
I don’t need spiritual discernment (Christian code for “I made it up”) to understand just how many people Christians hate.
I still remember the first time I saw “Rightly Divide the Word” as code-speak for “interpreting the Bible any way I damn well please.”
re: #91 William Lewis
The apologetic for needing “spiritual discernment” comes from II Thessalonians, which roughly says (I’m not going to look up the specific verse) “you need to be filled with the spirit of God to understand Scripture.”
The Christian argument is “God is everywhere” (thus the spirit of God is also everywhere).
By that logic, I can use “spiritual discernment” to see the Bible as it exists has been written and rewritten and translated with no original documents and frequently for the purpose of politics. It is used by others with “spiritual discernment” to justify all sorts of good works (such as loving your neighbour and helping the poor), and all sorts of bad works (like slavery and genocide).
I don’t see how my “spiritual discernment” is any less valid than his.
(On a side note, he keeps saying Trump was the second-worst nominee the GOP ever put up. I wonder who he thinks the worst is and why?)

Of course he won’t address the point. A conservative cannot admit he is wrong. If he’s wrong about one thing, he might be wrong about others. An avalanche of self-reflection might lead him to realise conservatives are always a block to society, and you can’t have that.
Even on his way out of Congress with his political career over, he still can’t just say “I was wrong and I am sorry.” (Besides, that has pronouns in it and those seem to trigger conservatives.)

THIS. My friends 12 year-old daughter just got diagnosed with a condition that impairs her vision. She is legally blind, but can still see some things. For example, If I were in front of her, she could see I was wearing a red shirt and blue shoes and she could tell what color my hair was. I’d just be extremely blurry to her. She had normal vision up until about the age of 10, so that helps her extrapolate thing her eyes can no longer see.
But the descriptors still help.

The Bubble Effect in the Conservative Media
The communications apparatus of the conservative movement was established with the goal of advancing the right’s political interests. Its organs often borrow superficial conventions, like bylines and the inverted-pyramid structure, to create the simulacrum of a traditional news medium. But the people working in these institutions understand they are working for the conservative movement, not on behalf of the public’s right to know. Their approach to malfeasance by their side is to ignore, distort, or change the subject to some agreed-upon sin by the enemy (a practice called ‘whataboutism’)”.

Something else about that meeting: it was to address a variety of disabilities, not just visual.
VP’s description wasn’t just for the visually impaired, it was also helpful for those participating who are deaf. I noticed that at least one participant at the table was wearing a see-through mask so that lip-readers could see what she was saying. If there was closed captioning available, VP’s self-description helped to identify her to those who couldn’t hear her and was unable to read her lips because of her mask.

Before the media gets all excited and over-reports this, insist they detail how they expect to get on the ballot. It’s one thing to announce a new party. It is quite another for to actually field candidates who appear on real ballots.

So a $700 billion bailout for the banks, an $80 billion bailout for the auto industry, a $50 billion bailout for the airlines and a $3 trillion Fed bailout for the stock market are all “capitalism” but unemployment checks are “socialism?”

As someone in the semiconductor industry I have to say - this is exactly right. We are making so much money it’s stupefying. My bonuses are enormous.
My prediction: tons of new plants will break ground, be built (or mostly built) and then sit idle for years. It’s what usually happens to new plants. Companies aren’t going to flood the market with product, and excess capacity is VERY expensive to carry.

TSMC and Samsung have more advanced fabs than Intel. In fact, the vast majority of the most advanced chips, including everything used by Apple, everything sold by Nvidia, and almost everything sold by AMD is manufactured in Taiwan or South Korea. We’re one earthquake or 1 misstep by China or North Korea away from being really screwed. This is absolutely a national security issue, and we’re talking about less than 10% of the Pentagon’s annual budget spread over a number of years.
Of course the devil is in the details, but if this leads to a significant chunk of leading edge chip manufacturing moving back to the US it’s money well spent.

The Sandhills Tropical Weather Update.
The Atlantic Ocean remains quiet, as does the central Pacific Ocean.
Despite the very low probability of development given to the disturbance south of Baja California, it has now formed into Tropical Storm Georgette. The storm is moving south-by-west until Saturday, then is expected to take a sharp northeastward turn as the high pressure cell over northwest Mexico moves off.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Frank is moving west, but will turn in a more northwesterly direction as it moves away from the southern Mexico coastline. Depending on the timing, Frank and Georgette could meet each other. Frank is expected to become a hurricane by Friday noon.

On Yang’s new Freedom Party, from the Southern Poverty Law Center:
FreedomFest, which begins today, is a yearly festival that bills itself as “an open-minded environment” that is “independent, non-partisan, and not affiliated with any organization or think tank.” But the festival skews towards libertarians and other members of the liberty movement, portions of which belong to the extremist antigovernment movement. It is sponsored in part by Epik, a web hosting company that has provided services to neo-Nazi and white nationalist websites.

It’s cheaper for companies just to wait until production returns. If it were profitable to build a manufacturing facility in the long run, they would. So we have to throw some money at it. But it will be better than having to scrounge for chips from washing machines.

Could a Change in Sense of Humor Signal Dementia? (WebMD, November 11, 2015)
My sense-of-humour hasn’t changed, so I should be safe. And I don’t find badly-parked cars funny, especially when I’m trying to park I find it annoying. I find barking dogs scary if I am near them.
Nov. 11, 2015 — A change in a person’s sense of humor could be an early red flag of dementia, according to a new study.
The idea that our taste in comedy could be used to predict our chances of getting Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia may sound strange, but researchers say it could prove to be a valuable tool for improving the diagnosis of these diseases.
The team at University College London (UCL) were interested in how sense of humor can change in people with Alzheimer’s — the leading cause of dementia — and in those with frontotemporal dementia. That type of the disease tends to occur among younger people; damage to part of the brain causes changes to personality, behavior and understanding of language.
Memory troubles are not an early warning sign of frontotemporal dementia. Instead, people tend to have behavior and personality changes first.
The researchers found that people with this condition experienced a change in what they found funny, compared to healthy individuals and people with Alzheimer’s. This included laughing at events that others would not find funny, such as a badly parked car or a barking dog.

Speaking of that asshole Yang. He coauthored a editorial in the Post. Not going to link cause it’s a piece of shit. Here’s my fav graf.
On guns, for instance, most Americans don’t agree with calls from the far left to confiscate all guns and repeal the Second Amendment, but they’re also rightfully worried by the far right’s insistence on eliminating gun laws. On climate change, most Americans don’t agree with calls from the far left to completely upend our economy and way of life, but they also reject the far right’s denial that there is even a problem. On abortion, most Americans don’t agree with the far left’s extreme views on late-term abortions, but they also are alarmed by the far right’s quest to make a woman’s choice a criminal offense.

Correlation is not causation. My head injury makes me more likely to get Alzheimers or dementia. Injuries can also cause personality changes. How many of the subjects suffered any trauma?
They also refer to frontotemporal dementia, usually caused by head injuries and frequently occurring at a young age.
The WebMD article from 2015 reports on a study from the University College London.
When they analyzed questionnaires and anecdotes, they found that people with the type of frontotemporal dementia that affected their personality frequently had a “sick” sense of humor, where they might laugh inappropriately at tragic events on the news or in their personal life. This did not happen in people with Alzheimer’s.
The researchers also found that people with both frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer’s tended to prefer slapstick humor to satirical and absurdist humor.
Friends and relatives reported seeing these changes on average at least 9 years before the start of more typical dementia symptoms, the researchers say.
