You'd be wrong to pick a clear winner based on the numbers you have (which, apologies, I didn't check, also because Friday). The construction emissions will be astronomical - or maybe it'd be more appropriate to characterize them as "geological" :P.

It's far from obvious that CO2 emissions from excavating millions of tons of sand and earth would be dwarfed by the savings in the transit emissions of high-tonnage freight ships, which, unless I'm much mistaken, represent by far the most efficient means of transportation humanity has ever come up with.

OTOH, I assume there weren't many bulldozers in the mid 19th-century (I actually have no idea how suez was built). But, it's not really reasonable to just throw human power at something and declare it CO2-friendly.

And here's the bottom line. For better or for worse, externalities don't actually count. You can piss in the pool. People banding together and deciding otherwise - when their ancestors have gotten most of the pissing their hemisphere will ever need to do out of the way, and the rest of the world is still clawing their way out of abject poverty - is... maybe well-intentioned, but don't hold your breath. Poverty is really fucking awful. People on their way out of it will not tolerate if their governments try to put on the brakes because they watched an Al Gore movie. It's just not going to happen.

The good news is that the consequences likely aren't going to be too severe. We're not facing extinction (that many other species are is irrelevant, that ship sailed a long time ago). Florida goes away, sure. Indonesia loses a lot of it's land area. It's not going to happen overnight, people are not going to drown. They will move to higher ground. And at the end of it all, you have a world population that's not poor. That's a good trade, and I have every confidence in humanity's ability to manage whatever other consequences follow, we're pretty damn good at making tough decisions once we have something to lose. But right now, that's just not the case, except in the developed world.
If they could build a social network, I would probably enjoy it being part of search. Show me links people I follow have tweeted that are related... seems like that would be a killer app.

That's just an argument against languages with broken arrays. I'm guessing you've been doing a lot of Java lately?

Even Java has a sane typing system if you stay away from arrays (use ArrayList for crying out loud) but beyond Java, there is a wealth of languages with very good static type systems (Scala, Kotlin, Ceylon).

Yeah, the inability to search your Twitter feed is simply infuriating. This is an embarrassingly parallel problem, so the issue isn't scale slowing the development of Search down. Twitter just doesn't give a shit.
This seems like a terrible idea. If given access you can now completely control the primary message regarding search terms of yourself. Kinda defeats the purpose of using search as discovery, no?
My concern is then the composition of the rich content when Google offers itself as the platform. "Welcome, to our podium, Canditate A. We've already constructed the stage and backdrop, too, with these accompanying articles, images, and layout."

It sounds, initially, like Google's role is very passive, but I think control over what surrounds the podium has the potential to be very active. "Hey, Candidate B has better lighting!"

Google as active medium becomes the active message? Thoughts?

I'm also about 50. I am doing far more senior and interesting work than I was doing when I was 30. I felt like I was just starting to figuring things out then, but now I'm doing way more interesting arch and design for work involving a large team.I had great experience earlier in my career working at large, well respected companies.

At 30 I was just getting started. If you feel you peeked, find some new jobs and technologies that you'd like to have on your resume and find new jobs. How about java and distributed systems at a place like google or facebook, c++ on a major database? Look for those things.

The approach I prefer is to let each market participant or team decide which reputation engine they want to use when evaluating a payment offer. So there does not have to be a global consensus on what reputation engine everyone should use.

I have prototyped a reputation currency platform [1] where third-party 'advisor' applications offer real-time advisory on whether a payment recipient should approve or reject a payment offer. Data science/big data techniques would help improve and adapt such reputation engines over time, much like web search engines improving incrementally over time.

In my case, when I was 30 I was looking at my first great learning job at Microsoft. I was working on an awesome distributed project, learning a lot, doing fantastic c++ work, making good connections. I was a dev for a few years, then a lead. Shipped some good stuff.

Then in my 40s I went back to being a dev and learned a bunch of cool stuff at one of the amazons, googles, facebooks of the world. Now I'm 50 and have another great job, get tired of replying to recruiters.

Look for jobs that teach you great stuff, expand on the important tech skills you don't have, pay well, and look good on your resume.

I'm curious to know what other HN readers think about this topic. I was born and raised on the left side of the spectrum, and continue to be so. I can empathize with my fellow millenial's struggle to push for a true egalitarian and respectful culture in the name of liberalism. I'm torn though. I see some of these actions moving the left to eventually begin embracing seemingly-fascist policies and aesthetics. What could be more equal than having everyone dress and act in a way prescribed by the same philosophical system?

There seems to be a crack in this generation's perception of what the West promises. We, the left, strive for social liberalism, civil equality, freedom of speech, protection of the individual by institutions, etc. but as many of us see in the news every week, the reality is that our system continues failing on all these fronts. This is basically a symptom of the historical tug-o-war between the left and right, entrenched biases, and the unexpected results of a complex civilization.

I was influenced greatly by anarchist philosophers, but managed to tear away from their commitment to dissolving the state. I see the role of government as necessary, especially in a free market system. I don't know what role social norms should play in this. Should we try to live inoffensively? Should we speak and move lightly, lest we offend some minority group? My line is the blatant racism of people like Donald Trump, no need to mention his support from the KKK. This article seems like we're wasting energy focusing on perceived microaggressions, when there are truly violent people around the corner targeting the same minority groups with truly malevolent intentions.

I usually like to give political correctness the benefit of the doubt in these situations, because sometimes its hard to fully understand how or why something might be offenseive.

But COME ON. The severity of reprisals and administrations actions on this one is completely out of proportion. I'm not faulting anyone getting offended. But I am questioning the administration's response to all of this. Especially given:

It seems like one solution might be to simply not send more data from the DNS server than it has received from the IP it is sending to. You could still spoof an IP and bounce traffic, but then you couldn't amplify it.
I use Moneydance for my business, and I like it quite a bit.

I am making a different argument.

We know for an incontrovertible fact that a few decades back women faced wage discrimination, even when doing the same job, with the same experience.

We know this from explicit records, with Lilly Ledbetter being one example. There is a reason why the various civil rights laws were enacted.

Therefore, to argue that wage discrimination does not now exist, the proof must be more rigorous than "we can't explain the remaining gap, but it can't be wage discrimination."

I have pointed to recent (within the last 10 years) court cases where the court determined that there was wage discrimination on the basis of sex. Thus, we know for certain that some wage discrimination exists.

If you want to have an argument that it's small - sure, I'll accept that. If you want to say it's hard to measure its magnitude - sure, I'll accept that too. But there's zero justification to state that it does not exist, when we have evidence that it does exist.

I can be wrong. I could have missed some recent study which resolves this more clearly. There may be a report which shows that the court cases I came across happen to be the only ones that have happened i the last 10 years. Such things would be evidence that my position is weak or untenable.

I have not seen such counter-evidence, hence I see no reason to reject my conclusion that wage discrimination on the basis of sex remains an admittedly minor contribution to the wage gap.

eventually, the text loaded. the meat of the article is a link to http://exple.tive.org/blarg/2013/10/22/citation-needed/ and the point of the article is that most of us know a just-so story about why C indexing is the way it is; the true story might not even be written down.

Unfortunately, I don't think the underlying story at tive.org is shedding much light on the subject. For instance, it implies a rather doubtful analogy between multiuser systems and malloc(). Its other main assertion, that the interpretation of v!i as doing zero-based indexing helped compile time rather than runtime efficiency is essentially unsupported. And I still don't understand what any of this had to do with the program for yacht handicapping.

I think you want GPL + classpath exception:

Linking this library statically or dynamically with other modules is making a combined work based on this library. Thus, the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License cover the whole combination.

As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules, and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent module, the terms and conditions of the license of that module. An independent module is a module which is not derived from or based on this library. If you modify this library, you may extend this exception to your version of the library, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version.

There's no distinction about static vs. dynamic linking, and no specific requirement like the LGPL to be able to relink the application (though the GPL's general requirement to produce useful source + build scripts for the library still applies).

While Perl 6 was designed with English method and object names, it's a fully-Unicode-enabled language, with the ability for identifiers and even operators to be defined in any language one may desire. The name of the (currently) primary implementation is a Japanese word, "Rakudo", which is also a pun in Japanese depending on how you say and/or interpret it. Larry specifically wants Perl 6 to noy be limited by English as much as is practical (or even impractical, if you know him you'll understand - to him, code is just as much poetry and art as it is engineering!)

Okay. I did more digging and you're more right than I thought. They do bundle a sort of mini-distribution of a particular set of libraries.

Some important libraries not included include libGL(X), libpthread, libm, libdl, and libc. The reason for not bundling GL(X) is obvious - you have to use the GL libraries that match the graphics drivers you're using. I'm not sure about the rest, though. libc does sometimes have breaking changes.

The bundles are maintained by Steam rather than by individual games. I'm not sure what happens if game A requires one version of a library and game B requires an incompatible version. It doesn't look like that would work out well.

There's a part of this that I really don't understand. What's with all the misleading word-usage? Did people of Mexican origin feel unsafe? Their safety was compromised? I don't think so. This is 1984 level of double-speak where words have been redefined to fit the narrative. Feeling unsafe means there is a credible threat of violence. Not feeling offended by people dressing up in your ethnic dress.
