Ironic. This page has an embedded YouTube link where YouTube slapped me with a captcha response.Ironic given the content.

> principles of science and logic as far as we're "aware" apply "outside" of the "human experience"

On the contrary if you take a critical thinking course, you'll see that your logic does apply to the human experience

I've seen this map several times, but never really looked at it closely. What a devastating march!

What does autonomous mean in this context?

Article is paywalled. If someone can see it: is the premise that Google is harvesting patient data for their own AI/ML healthcare projects' benefit? Or is this just cloud storage (Cerner putting objects in a bucket)? Or both...

I mean, I have already flown on them dozens of times prior to the catastrophic events, so I’m not really opposed to boarding them again after recertification.

Then again, it’s not clear to me what else they “covered up” or issues that this new article is focused on. I’d be happy for the FAA to delay them further and get to the bottom of this.

> Today Tasmania is burning. Its fires are so large that a firefighting team was reportedly called out in New Zealand to investigate a heavy smoke haze that turned out to have drifted across 2,500km of ocean from the Tasmanian fires. Firefighters are confronted with 1,629km of fire front, with fires having consumed 190,000 hectares, or 3% of Tasmania’s land, with authorities warning there is no sign of the fires abating for several weeks, and the potential for catastrophic consequences still a distinct possibility.

Geez. Tasmania is beautiful, and that sole island contains many of Australia's national parks. EDIT: Hmm, this article is from Feb 2019
