Sufficient pressure is actually exactly the problem, but it shouldn't be necessary to think about that. I'm just saying, intuitively, could you imagine pumping steam through condensing coils and the water around it boiling as a result? Like say you're boiling some water on the stove and steam is rising out of it. If you held a cup of water in that steam, how much steam would it take to boil that cup of water?

Keep in mind water vapor is lighter than dry air of the same temperature; it takes up about 2000x as much volume as the same mass of liquid water. The vast majority of the steam that goes into a practical condensing coil will come right out the other side, only a tiny amount of the steam that's in very close proximity to the surface of the coil will actually condense, which like, if you imagine steam going into a curly metal pipe immersed in water, I'd hope it's intuitive that tons of steam would make it out.

You'd need crazy long and thin pipes, crazy high pressure, and crazy pipe configurations so there's way more steam surface area than water being heated, in order to boil water with the equivalent amount of steam.

There's other tradeoffs here, of course. Both solar panels and reverse osmosis machines are expensive, they're like fancy machined semiconductors and ceramics and stuff, whereas an evaporator is some metal pipes and tanks and maybe some glass or mirrors, so depending on application they may be much more cost effective. But in terms of efficiency, there's no comparison.
Awesome project, great to see that its all open source.
"Since we started to roll out unlimited cloud storage to Office 365 consumer subscribers, a small number of users backed up numerous PCs and stored entire movie collections and DVR recordings."

Wow. This actually is a direct quote from Microsoft. Unbelievable! I'm not sure what's more incredible: the tone of this message, or the fact that noone at MS has thought about this before...
I'm just confused, because you didn't address anything in my comment, you're just spewing right-wing propaganda. We tried "small government", it failed horribly and lead to widespread misery and avoidable deaths. How do you plan to make a "small government" without repeating past mistakes?
While Google lives off of your personal data and what it can gather from it, Apple and Microsoft seem to not use/sell your data to a 3rd party. This means Google will "always" offer the cheaper option, but it has a hidden cost - it sells your personal data to a 3rd party; so its a question about what you are comfortable with.

I was a huge fan of Google's products while in College, but once entering the professional life, Microsofts offerings spoke to me in a whole new way.

But this is an incredibly silly move by Microsoft!

But to say Microsoft hasn't had a direction, that might be true. But there was also a me.com and Google Docs / Drive / Google Photos; so they are more interesting in being in the space that the consumer are looking for, rather than making their own way in to the woods by themselves.

I must be missing this. I read the article carefully and scanned the comments here. Looks like FUD-bait to me.

This is how I would write the article (and this is probably all there is to the article)

Over the past 15 years, death rates for whites per 100,000 people aged 45–54 remained basically the same, with the natural increase lifespan being offset by increases in both suicide and alcohol/drug issues. This difference is statistically significant, but it is on the order of 1 or 2 extra deaths per thousand people for their lives from 45-54. It is highly unusual for death rates to change like that. The last great change in the west of this magnitude was with the introduction of HIV/AIDS. For context, the average middle class white american would experience the same increase in risk if they took up canoeing over the same period.

But maybe I missed it. I got a graph where one line stays the same where others decline, and I got a graph where risk increases for a couple causes of death by a very small amount (out of dozens not listed)

Also I have approximately 50 comments lamenting the rise of third world conditions in places like Peoria and the death of all things good and decent in the USA. I believe if a little more context was provided by the news outlet in this case, perhaps our comments would be more aligned with the actual impact of the news being reported.

>> People run diesels due to durability. They run at lower RPM than similarly designed gas engines, and last longer between rebuilds.

Reliability is one of these stubborn diesel myths that refuses to die. The lifespan of modern gasonline engines -when driven normally- is several multiples of what the average owner will drive the car for before it is replaced. You can easily put 300K kilometers on a gasoline engine before it needs a 'rebuild' (which typically involves not much more than changing the piston rings and rod bearings). Around 150K you may need a mild cylinder head revision (valve seals, valve seats, tappets) if you torture the engine enough. You won't have to break the bank for either of those. I don't know a single person except myself (driving a 25 year old car with a high-performance engine) who ever needed an engine rebuild.

Meanwhile, regular servicing for diesel engines is guaranteed to be more expensive compared to a gasoline engine, so in the long run you will not save any money on maintenance unless you drive your car without any care for reliability.

you're making pretty much the same argument that GM did with electric cars some years ago.

>When the EPA makes rules that result in dangerous and/or non-functional product designs, I think it's time to back off just a bit until the technology has come closer to being able to reasonably achieve the regulated cleanliness levels. It's completely insane to make a truck that will force you to slow to 40mph while you're driving it, or to make a tractor that will force a farmer to take an unplanned break in the middle of the day (remember -- farmers work all day long, and daylight is a limited, precious commodity to them).

it is not EPA at fault here, it is truck and car manufacturers who need to get off their a&& and start manufacturing good products. History shows that only tightening of regulation can make them do it. Without tightening of regulations, the manufacturers will be mining the same technology/product again and again...

Indeed. I am an Office 365 subscriber that is not affected by these changes (I use far less than one terrabyte). I primarily use OneDrive for sharing photos and storing encrypted backups (Arq).

But I am not amused. Who says they are not changing the rules mid-game again? The next time they'll block applications that generate too much traffic or whatever.

Why is the world looking away? Indonesia is a sovereign nation, we can't tell them how to manage their natural resources. Well we can tell them but they won't listen. If we did, they could point that finger right back at us and ask us what happened to our forests and peat? Uhm, we chopped it down and burned it all before Indonesia was founded. But you shouldn't do that.
I think adblocking is finally going mainstream,and I think that's going to feed into a cultural shift in how much we tolerate advertising in general (see e.g. recent articles about the possibility of banning billboards).

Online Video Platforms Roundup Oct 26 – Nov 2, 2015
Many of the fragments in the video would be a lot more interesting if they lasted longer than a second. This is edited to seem exciting, not to show what the actual capabilities and limitations are.
I did address your reference to the industrial revolution indirectly, but perhaps I didn't make myself clear. The industrial revolution had numerous positive outcomes including more jobs, increased productivity, and a strong economy. Yes, it also uncovered some serious problems, many of which were addressed by the government (e.g., child labor laws, better working conditions, etc). In my opinion, those are valid areas of government involvement (hence my point about government ensuring public safety), but that's a far cry from the kind of government intervention we're seeing today.

If we failed anything with small government as you say, those things were growing pains that we would have experienced with a government of any scale. I guess what I'm saying is that it's unfair to blame "small government" for the problems exposed during the industrial revolution.
Sounds like Lesterland.

Why the focus on inequality as if this is the core problem as against issues relating to the absolute quality of people's lives?
That would be fine if they would standardise their APIs. But they only do that at the boundary; as more and more functionality moves into systemd that means more and more with no documented, supported API. Any port would have to implement systemd piecemeal, like GNU did with unix - but all the systemd interfaces are nonstandard and unsupported, making that impossible.

How to take care of a large Jenkins installation and keep your sanity
Well one factor is neatly summarized in this quote, which I found when I googled the phrase "inequality possibility frontiers" found in the first graph:

"The frequent claim that inequality promotes accumulation and growth does not get much support from history. On the contrary, great economic inequality has always been correlated with extreme concentration of political power, and that power has always been used to widen the income gaps through rent-seeking and rent-keeping, forces that demonstrably retard economic growth."

That's an amazingly simplistic answer.

Burning is one way to ensure you have really cheap palm oil.. Most of the palm oil demand is foreign, it is NOT Indonesia making it purely for themselves.

For one, Indonesia should have rules banning the burning practice. AFAIK, they have been offered money to combat the need for burning (as compensation) and they ignored these offers (probably reputation thing).

Secondly, other countries should enforce that companies ensure that the palm oil is produced in a ecological friendly manner. Ecological way is NOT expensive btw; cost wise it makes almost no difference.

Lastly, countries should pressure Indonesia to enforce this. Economic pressure is used all the time. Indonesia is NOT sovereign, especially in this case. They're quite good in responding to the palm oil demand from other countries!

No, they don't sell your personal data to a 3rd party, that would be as terrible for them as it is for you. They sell ad placements.

If scanning your data for ad placement is not acceptable, you use can use Google Apps, which is covered by a different agreement. The base price is 4 Euro per month, from there you can get 1TB per month for 8 Euro per month or 100GB for 1.99.

Maybe it's some kind of "Apocalypse fatigue"? At some point, you become desensitized when so many bad news follow each other, and I have the impression the Western public is at that point. Which, of course, is a bad thing.
I'm not sure you understand exactly how bad this is. It becomes incredibly hard to breathe. I was in KL in mid-2014 when they started the burns and I couldn't walk 200m without being out of breath. No one is saying that you can't pollute your own country, but you shouldn't be allowed to pollute others to the point where it is inhospitable.

Even Android have a much better security model than your traditional desktop OS. Except if the malware includes a root exploit (in this case, all bets are off), the traditional "malware" in Android is limited to basically what the user allows it. However malware including root exploits should be rare, at least if the user only install applications using Google Play. Using applications from other sources, specially to get "free versions" of paid applications can be really bad.

Unless the user are a completely moron, without enabling access for Accessibility, a malicious app can't, for example, read everything on the user screen, or capture the information the user types (the user would need to explicit allow it by turning on keyboard servicesin this case). This means that a malware can't sniff login information, or read the user e-mail. However they can still get valuable information (if the user did not read the permissions that Android asks before performing installation), like user contacts.
DJI tempts developers with new Ubuntu computer for drones
Here is a live map of the (known) fires in the past week. It's really disturbing.

http://fires.globalforestwatch.org/#v=map&x=121.59&y=-1.01&l...

You can turn on layers in the Forest Use tab to see the correlation between where fires are/have been burning and where palm oil concessions are. It's pretty clear what's going on.

You can try to reduce your own palm oil usage, but it's difficult, because it's in everything from cookies to shampoo and it's not always clearly listed in the ingredients list for various reasons. A second issue is that palm oil has incredibly high yields per hectare when compared with other oil crops... so from a sustainability perspective choosing a different source of plant oil is a tough call and depends on where the alternative is being produced.

Whatever happens, there must be some way to reward Indonesians for sustainably producing palm oil or some other crop. Large food companies can do a whole lot, they should absolutely be working to get their supply chains certified under the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) program (you can also turn on a layer on the map to see these areas as well). This program is far from perfect, but is much better than the wild west of conventional palm oil, and rewards responsible producers.

Paper and timber are a bit easier, you can make sure all of the paper you use in your office or packaging is FSC certified, and you should require that any construction done on you or your company's behalf sources FSC timber. It's not necessarily more expensive.
