    Just learned Chelsea Manning may have attempted suicide this morning. So sad what they've done to her.

    Tried indoor skydiving today. It felt a lot more like swimming in heavy air than floating on air. They say it takes about 100 hours to develop some modest skill at it, which comes out to a little more than $100K at $17 / minute. Makes cycling seem like a relatively modest hobby!

    Faced with sustained assault from angry reactionaries who want to outlaw trans people, I feel heartened and encouraged to see the federal government finally standing up to defend us. But at a time when humanity is confronted with multiple urgent existential threats arising from our collective failure to live peacefully and sustainably within the ecological constraints of our planet, it is dismaying to see such a large slice of our political bandwidth saturated with trans issues.

    @cmhobbs He surely did, but AlphaGo was not afraid to fight, either. And it seems like AlphaGo has developed pretty strong whole-board view. One analyst was making the case that some of its earliest fighting moves fully anticipated the end game, and it only seemed to grow stronger as the board filled in. Maybe Lee can think of some novel strategy that AlphaGo is not yet prepared to answer, but after what we just saw, future prospects for human players don't look very promising. :-(

    Home and reeling after attending the hearing for SB 6443. Felt like just a handful of "us" amid a sea of frowning, angry faces. So much lies and distortions in the testimony - proponents basically called us all pedophile rapists, and now I'm worried they may actually win. Very discouraging.

    @steve "Falsely equivocated..." Maybe you meant falsely equated? ;)

    "It is a process by which reliable facts are established, but the facts are only as good as the process. There is no room for authority; only assessment, verfication, and refutation."

    To reiterate: what I was suggesting is that "only as good as the process" is a crucial caveat. When science and politics tangle, the process doesn't always function as well as it should, and when people see the process failing, a skeptical response is appropriate and justified. Denialism and anti-intellectualism are certainly wrong, but it would also be perilously naive to read science blindly with no consideration of the political and economic context in which it is done.

    @steve R's question science when it appears to be in opposition to corporate interest. D's question science when it appears to serve corporate interest. With public funding for science under increasing pressure, Americans do not believe science is wholly objective and unswayed by funding sources, and the notion of "scientific consensus" appears naive.
