They mention Australian Aboriginal myths, and this was explained in David Attenborough's new series about the Great Barrier Reef. Apparently they have oral tales [1] and dances about how their coastline was slowly flooded (thus creating the reef, which used to be the coast of Australia) over a period of less than a hundred years. This coincides with a rise in sea levels around 6,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age.

Sounds like a brave plan indeed. Good luck to them!
This is a great team with an awesome product! Happy to see fellow Pittsburgh locals getting the attention they deserve.
There's nothing (I know of) with a more radical approach to the full-stack web than Meteor.

No one's saying you need to keep up with all the JS frameworks, but if I were hiring a JS dev, I'd expect the person to understand the pros and cons of the most important ones. Meteor is categorically one of the most important JS frameworks out there.

I'm not sure about a way to determine the "best" or "most important" frameworks. Perhaps number of appearance on the HN front page could be a heuristic?

"Not free" is not quite right. The software is open-source & MIT licensed. The entity is for-profit, as it intends to sell services adjacent to the software, not unlike Acquia & Drupal.
I've never seen convincing numbers that the expense is regulatory. And the nimby-ism is not regulatory in the least.

There are always grand claims of how cheap nuclear can be, but it has never been seen in practice. Sometimes people even claim that nuclear is cheap by only looking at the operating & maintenance costs, ignoring the true costs of nuclear, which are all upfront.

What type of nuclear constraints could be applied to wind generation? Validation of designs? There's very few turbine designs out there. I can't see how wind could be ever be made more expensive than nuclear, but am open to new data.
Yes, the central England temperature series (CET). Now run by the met office, it goes back to 1659.

There is no scientific doubt about the roman and medieval warm periods being as warm or warmer than today. The anthropological evidence of this is abundant, and it shows up in most proxies as well.

The most likely case is that the natural variations swamp whatever changes humans make. Based on evidence, it's unlikely that co2 is a major driver of climate, but more of a minor player that has a ceiling on how much effect it can make.
That's interesting. I'm guessing the investor complement to this would be the option to get your money back if a company chooses to go in a wildly different direction?

I've seen that sentiment around more of late, possibly as a result of the glut of seed-stage startups who are pivoting after failing to raise an A.
There aren't a lot of problems though, there is just one: We rely on fossil fuels. Switching to nuclear fission won't change that in the slightest.

Also even if you could get sufficient agreement on the need for more nuclear power plants - which you won't - it would still take way to long to build enough of them to have an impact.

It makes much more sense to invest in renewable energy, the energy grid and research into nuclear fusion.
Axial Precession
You wouldn't need to do much more than put a pretty front-end on (free|open)BSD to have a decent consumer router.
You can even do this with commodity hardware: http://rtfm.net/FreeBSD/ERL/
We'll see a lot of FPGA use in the coming years. Consider this: newest FPGAs have 1TB/s (that's a terabyte per second, not terabit) memory bandwidth and 1KB-wide memory bus. Short of developing your own silicon (which takes years and tons of money), you simply can't get this kind of throughput with anything else. That's basically why Intel bought Altera.
Not hard at all. Assuming you have the required stamina, just look at the IPCC Working Group I's reports, like http://www.amazon.com/Climate-Change-2013-Contribution-Inter.... From there, you can find thousands of references if you really want to track things down.

Ask HN: I'm a demotivated SE because I did not get a promotion. What to do?
* I'm a Software Engineer with around 5 years of experience hired as a junior developer 1.5 years back but perform on the level of a Senior Engineer.

* I write better code, can architect, can take a project from start to finish and in general work much better and more productively than my team-mates who have 10+ years of experience. I frequently re-factor things they have written and have 'saved' a project from risks and 'down the line rot due to technical debts' multiple times due to these refactor-ings and other decisions.

* No one from our team will be promoted this year due to reasons and I was looking forward to a promotion.

* I feel that waiting another 1.5years for a promotion is grossly un-fair to me & because my manager and company in general does not seem to value my contributions, the next obvious step is to change jobs.

* The twist is that I'm working on a student OPT visa that is valid only until August this year. If my H1B application is not selected once again this year (by May end), the company would help move me to other development centers around the world. (It's a big-ish company whose name you have heard & whose product you have probably even used)

* I need your views in understanding and evaluating my options.

* I'm also looking for views about how, if I start interviews, will other big companies (think Amazon, Uber, Google) view me w.r.t to my work eligibility and if I should just stay put and demotivated in my current company until at-least May end when I hear back about my H1B.
Maybe it's a Death Star?
Only if you agree, that you move into a unpopulated area, that the nuclear power plants are built in your garden, that everything is paid by you and you also take care of the waste. Thank you.
I believe Jan Gray was only implementing RV32I, but he was manually laying out the core and the router himself!

You can find his slides here (http://riscv.org/workshop-jan2016.html).
> Do you have reason to believe this will not happen?

What's kind of amazing is that people don't believe that we will develop a solar powered technique to extract carbon the from the atmosphere and create liquid fuels.
And? Are you trying to make a case for conflict of interest? Because, time and time again, it's a pretty weak one(unless you want to invoke some global conspiracy involving carbon credits).
This is the same argument that the proponents of peak oil put forth. Discovered uranium deposits != all uranium deposits on earth. When price pressure is put on uranium, we'll have more speculators looking for it. (Which the article addresses.)

Also, Economically unaccessible today != economically unaccessible tomorrow. Our mining technology gets better all the time, especially if there's price pressure on it. We're accessing deep-sea oil deposits that we weren't able to twenty years ago. (Which the article addresses, but you omitted the key point!!! We have a 60,000 year supply of uranium in the oceans!)

The chief problem with coal isn't pitmining, it's the pollution from burning the stuff.
Don't fall for the mistake of taking known reserves to be the actual amount in the earths crust.

'Oil is about to run out' predictions have been falling for this for a century now, and continue to make the same error.

There is no economic reason to find resources out beyond a set timeline. So they aren't looking for them, and so the reserves always look like they are going to run out in 30 years.

The actual environmental impact of mines is negligible over the long term, provided the mining is done in a country with good environmental protection in place.
It certainly would be weird given SV has never worked like this, but it would be incredibly powerful in effecting change.

Actually just an acknowledgement of the level of the problem with no names attached would be highly useful to the community. Very few people have access to this data and YC is one. The fact that Sam wrote about this makes me suspect that it is a major problem.
Most common is just wasting their time with low-ROI things such as meeting with a large number of low-value mentors. We try to keep startups focused on talking to customers and building product.

A crazy one I remember was telling a pre-product startup that they needed to focus on defining their brand.
A badge of being "in".
Yeah, breeder reactors are even mentioned in the sciam article that nostromo posted. He's cherry-picking his info.
is it just me or is it quite rare to see such a low level of discussion on HN?
Founder team A with resources M accomplish X.

Founder team B with resources (M+other accelerator) accomplish Y.

If not (Y >> X) => Founder team B did something wrong or squandered the extra resources. That's a bad signal.

This holds unless you make the assumption that the other accelerator provided zero value. And if it did, then that reflects poorly on the founder team that chose that accelerator, baring something exceptional happening.

Pretty straightforward to expect more from teams who have had access to more resources.
Yes, it's really an insertion sort where the insert step is done in parallel hardware. That's cool for small N but it's really still an O(N^2) algorithm.
Also a shot at Techstars, who have been known to lump in late-stage fund investments with their accelerator returns. Writing a tiny check into Uber's B-round has nothing to do with their accelerator program, for example, and it's disingenuous when they conflate the two.

I should mention that they have been doing a better job distinguishing this lately.
> So then, it's not discrimination that you oppose. You just want to be the one to decide the target of the discrimination. Love is love, right?

This response makes no sense. I didn't say anything about love or about wanting to decide the target of discrimination. If you pay close attention you can grasp my point. Once again, prohibition of polygamy says marriages that consist of more than two individuals are illegal, it doesn't matter who those individuals are, black, white, man, woman, gay, straight; the law applies evenly to all peoples regardless of who they are. Prohibition of gay marriage is the exact opposite, i.e. the identity of the individuals is the only determining factor with regard to whether or not the marriage is legal.

> None of which are among my justifications for my position.

Justifications which are also conveniently absent from the discussion. You keep bringing up who gets to decide, but we've already established and agreed that it is the role of the courts to determine if a law is constitutional and that's exactly what happened.

> It is also society's prerogative to overrule the courts via a constitutional amendment, if they so choose.

Which didn't happen. So to reiterate, you agree that it's the role of the courts to rule on the constitutionality of our laws, you've also failed to put forward any reasoning to rebut the court's determination that prohibition of gay marriage is unconstitutional (in fact, you stated you have no feelings either way) and you've further stated that the people could amend the constitution if they are so inclined... So where's the problem? Your use of the term 'judicial activism' implies that the judges are acting without regard for their duties as stewards of the constitution and are instead acting out of personal politics, but you haven't put forward any evidence to support that implication.

> Don't delude yourself. Everything is subject to the tyranny of the majority, if two thirds of the elected officials can be persuaded.

This isn't an argument, just a platitude; it's akin to saying "don't delude yourself, the 4th amendment won't protect you from unreasonable search and seizure if you piss off the wrong people". Well that's obvious, the point is that the intent of the constitution includes protection for the minority from the tyranny of the majority, claiming that this isn't true in practice doesn't add anything to a discussion about what judges should be doing.
I'm curious what book you read because it sounds like it does not agree with what almost all scientists believe.

Perhaps you should start with The IPCC Reports.
I totaly agree on this. All this really need is a nice web front end and some nice apis for smarphones/plugin apps.
My questions is mainly given that this shouldnt technically very challenging why is nobody giving it a shot.

It's quite different from the original Flume paper as Dataflow supports expressing streaming computations in addition to batch in a unified set of APIs. It's like a combination of Flume and Millwheel.
Web Server Upgrade Training
I don't know if anyone else is like this, but I can't help but be slightly amused, when in the same thread that some people are thinking that this is a lost cause, other's are claiming the the exponential growth of solar and wind power will ensure nuclear's niche status (and which seems to imply that the problem is essentially already solved, we just have to wait a decade or two, "global cooperation" or not).
Yeah, I should have clarified that ( thought it was obvious, what is the point of leaving a note if you can leave the envelope ? )

This also surprised me: I ordered stuff on AliExpress that I wouldn't ship back to China for € 0,70, even if the item was free (which electronics aren't).

I asked around and it turns out that postal services in rich (EU) countries have a special, heavily sponsored rate for 3th world nations. This wasn't a problem with the occasional letter from Afrika, but the post services didn't really saw this coming: Mass free shipping from china. Apparently the EU wanted to get out of this, but china refuses (and seems to be able to, for now).

Enjoy it while it lasts :)

For comparison:

* the aphelion of Sedna, the most distant dwarf planet of our Solar system is at 937 AU from the Sun [1],

* distance between Proxima Centauri and the binary Alpha Centauri is 15,000 ± 700 AU [2],

* one light year is 63,241.1 AU,

* distance to the nearest star (Proxima Centauri [2]) is 4.2421 ly = 268,274.973 AU,

I taught myself physics and learned to think scientifically by reading his collected monthly essays from The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. I owe Asimov a huge debt and I'm very glad I got to tell him that once. I miss seeing him at SF cons.

Linux Foundation quietly drops community representation
And so we build nuclear power plants in Nigeria (population 175 million)?
I don't expect every country to do it this year, or this decade. I also don't expect every country to have nuclear power either, because it's expensive. You think uranium mining is clean? Constructing all that stuff is free? Of course not.

The amount of solar panels needed for a house (or their share, in some solar farm) is miniscule. It's 4-7 panels. If we want to store excess for night, maybe 10. The batteries fairly small (using lithium, a sufficient battery could hang on the wall. Maybe two tesla power walls would do it). The waste isn't that bad (nowhere near the amount of waste people create yearly in plastic or other landfill garbage).

It's totally doable in first world countries. And it would go a long way in developing countries too, for the same reason cell phones gained popularity faster than landlines, because they require less infrastructure.

It sure is easy to throw lots of CPU processing power at the problem and get a fast router.
But for $40 less, the Nighthawk additionally includes 2 WiFi chips, a whole lot of software engineering and a probably much lower power consumption due to specialized hardware e.g. for NAT offloading.
Nate Silver's "The signal and the noise" had an excellent chapter on it. Did a good job getting to the core of the argument, putting it into non-specialist terms, and evaluating the results skeptically, but with scientific rigor. And no agenda. Highly recommended.
I've had the pleasure to hear him speak a few times, ironically he strikes me as none of those things.
>>> Such restrictions do not appear to lead directly to the concentration of poverty but rather to the
concentration of affluence, a finding which adds important nuance to the way in which exclusionary
zoning techniques isolate the poor.

Is it any great surprise that wealthier people are also more mobile?

>> Cities that have more separate regulatory oversight mechanisms are more segregated.

I wonder how much time the author has spent in zoning meetings. These days nearly everything requires some sort of rezoning, variance or special permit. So it's all about developers with the savvy to get such things from whatever board/counsel is in charge. Developers are only interested in high-value/high-profit developments. So what gets built is expensive. It's no great social mystery.
With respect, that simply is not true at all. People (activists and their politicians) are continually using the constant threat of disaster to try and gain power. Witness how many times have we heard a politician say 'we have (insert timeframe here) to save the planet'?

The fact that the U.S. Congress has only done a little bit of tax and power extraction on the issue ignores the fact that most of the rest of the developed countries have extracted huge amounts of taxation by throwing around planetary doom. Personally I am thousands of dollars worse off from the application of this power, and my (enforced) sacrifices have not done anything at all to change the planets temperature.
I'm the person you responded to, and I came late to this, but you cannot look at country of origin as a proxy for primary language. Just as most German ISIL fighters speak Turkish, there are similar findings amongst other countries like Russia; although to be fair, I haven't looked into Russia specifically.

There are only four breeder reactors in operation, we'd need a lot more rather quickly for them to be useful.

Also as with all things nuclear there are an awful lot of claims and not a lot of known things here. Nuclear somehow always looks much better in theory than it does in practice.

The unilateral benefits of free trade does not require both sides to be equally free. When China allegedly subsidizes (a thing that happens much less frequently then claimed by industries seeking protection), that means China is sending us unusually cheap stuff. Yes, it's possible that this is a highly coordinated monopoly-building strategy, but much more likely is that China has internal reasons for doing this (such as building political stability, or internal regulatory capture by their industry) that don't have negative impacts on the US.

The purpose of these tariff-reducing trade treaties is much more about gathering political coalitions to break through public-choice failures resulting in (overall welfare reducing) protectionist policies taken by each side.
I once bought a iPhone charge cable from ebay, free shipping from china for $0.01. I won the auction a couple hours later. 6 weeks later it arrived!

No idea how it is possible. The bubble wrapping protecting it from shipping is worth more than what I paid.

I Open-Sourced All My Business Ideas
Same here in Serbia (packages from China).

After lots of "failed" delivery notes when there was always someone present, I asked the workers in the post office why they don't deliver packages anymore (thinking it might be related to country of origin and specific agreements between different postal services regarding fees).

They were adamant that delivery was attempted and it must be coincidence. In the end I suspect, in our case, it's more a case of silent protest from the postmen who are payed poorly, so they don't bother carrying the packages.
I seriously wonder if people who advocate paying more taxes have thought carefully about what they are really advocating, given what those taxes are used for. Is it that people are just mad that big companies can avoid taxes in ways that individuals cannot?

Yet another blog post about how parallelism is not concurrency
The best way to respond to these articles is to create things on these frameworks in question and form an opinion. Not everyone wants to solve the same issues at all times, how can one single experience tell you something is not good for you? it can't. Judge for yourself, use these tools before you decide from another person. In some cases (I'm not kidding) you're better off just using lodash and a package bundler. I'd say stop thinking in Uni-directional flow for all problems.

This is fantastic, and I was just wondering if something like existed a week ago. Sometimes I need to find the original picture of a thumbnail on the internet, so I use Google reverse image search to search for other sizes of my uploaded image. However, some websites simply upscale the low quality image in order to be at the top of the search results. I wonder if Google can use a technology like this to place those results on a lower ranking.
