This is great news but somehow presented in a negative tone. The slow (4000 year duration) PETM release had no lag before temperature increased. Our release is much faster and according to the article, the faster the release, the greater the lag. So we should expect to see a lag. I wonder how long - hopefully on the order of magnitude of the duration of the last release - 1000s of years or perhaps the current release - 100s of years.

The problem with climate change isn't what it might change into, but how fast it happens. It's quite already to have a change slow enough for societies, farmers, migration of species and geoengineering technology to adapt. We don't need enough time for evolutionary adaptation because we've actually got considerable control over our environment, unlike all species before us.
I too thought it was off-topic, but unless I'm mistaken that's what oska was referring to. S/he brought it up, don't chastise me.

And you're right, they are mostly unrelated. That was the point of my comment, oska attempted to relate them by making a false equivalency, and I corrected him/her.
Some interesting discussion on /r/science, I liked this one;

"If you had a CRISPR that worked in vivo and that fast it wouldn't just be the cure for HIV, it would be the holy grail of genetics. You could edit anything, genetic diseases, you could insert anything, and remove it later, adding traits like sickle cell factor to cure malaria then removing it later. Theoretically you could even use it to overwrite damaged genetic code with the original copy, meaning you're a little telomere-altering from immortality... Somehow, though, I think it won't be quite so easy."
What makes you expect them to be right instead of wrong? Couldn't you also wake up and say "wow, they were wrong"?

If you know they're right, then everyone else can too and there's no need for anyone to worry about what's right or not.
They are not cheap to compute, I believe the best way to approximate them is using expensive polynomial approximation which consumes a few cycles and operations.

All they do is map the numbers into a different range. A logarithmic value can represent more numbers near 0, but in order to add two logarithms, they need to be converted back to normal form, where the small numbers are rounded down to zero again.

There's no way around that, as adding a very small number to a very large number will always require many bits of precision to do accurately, regardless what transforms you use on the numbers.

It's an easier crime to commit, although maybe not to get away with. There are banks on every corner, their layouts and policies are similar, and you know where the cash is.

If you were going to rob a millionaire, where would you start? Who would you target, how would you case their home, and what would you try to steal? As smt88 points out, it's not like they're likely to have lots of liquid assets lying around the house. A lot of millionaires have a big portion of their net worth in equities and real estate, and the majority of their cash is almost certainly in the bank.

That said, from a food perspective I could have done with a bit more detail on interesting things they ate and a bit less on the differences between American and foreign McDonald's.

Until recently (CV1 engineering samples), the only publicly available software that could be reasonably considered "Oculus Software" was the driver and its configuration utility, clocking in at about ~50MB installed.

I think it's great they are dropping the price for smaller teams, but there will be some huge price increases for some companies. The examples they give all include the 50% discount so the 100 user with support will actually end up costing $13,800 instead of the $4,900 that they would be currently paying after the initial discount ends.
And this is exactly the way it should work.

I know, I work in the ad industry.

However a good 75% of it is unnecessary and because of bad business management rather than technical reasons. There are better ad networks and analytics services, combined with better site architecture and code, that can make a big impact if the publishers cared to do it.

Exactly. Recruiting is ripe with principal agent problems.

> The guy isn't really a right-winger, he's a centrist nationalist as far as I can tell.

There's a word for that: populist. Policy by opinion poll.

As most European democracies have found out over the past decades, most voters aren't political idealists. Ideas from all over the political spectrum appeal to them. Many of them end up not voting because every major party comes with a package of political ideals that don't work for them.

From time to time, a politician appears who manages to tap that potential, and throws the traditional, ideals-oriented politics into disarray.
I'm sure there will be one, now that he passed. At least, I hope it will.
What we need is some effective marketing against the causes of climate change. People don't watch documentaries, people don't read studies, truth is to to really make an impact you have to use the same shady tactics politicians and media outlets use, it's sad but that's the way it is. For example we need to start calling all companies associated with coal extraction climate-terrorists, we need to commercials of averages Joe's grandchildren being slowly roasted alive (movie-like not any gore. As a fear inducing warning about climate change over the next decades). All the hate people have for Mexicans and Muslims should be redirected to oil companies, to coal mining companies, to stop government subsidies for those, for their employees. To do anything that increases the price of dirty energy sources and related practices, then after the price is higher than the alternative capitalism should take care of the rest.
Nearly all electricity use, no matter how it's generated, ends up as waste heat. It doesn't make a difference to the global climate if that heat is released in a nuclear power plant's cooling tower or a person's living room TV and electric hot water heater. It's still ultimately heat.

The best we might hope to do? You might want to look up the geoengineering ideas floating around. Capturing carbon isn't the only possibility - and it sounds like it won't help in the short term anyway. Another approach is to reflect more sunlight, or perhaps capture water vapor - a more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2 and the major contributor to the greenhouse effect on Earth.
This is really AMD and NVIDIA's fault, not Oculus'. Hitting 90fps is hard enough without taking a sizable performance hit from the linux graphics stack.

Valve pulled a similar move a while back where they prevented people on OS X from playing games they had paid for (Portal), because the combination of macbook IGP and OS X's OpenGL implementation dropped framerates to unplayable levels. The game ran fine on Windows on the same hardware.

It does matter. You can, for example, initially share the key data on a pinlocked pendrive. What would be really impractical is using this pendrive to transmit actual messages.

Whether OTP is practical or not, entirely depends on real-world conditions.

P.S. Tell all this to the OP, not me. I'm not building an OTP system.
> France and Austria, unlike Canada are very much dense so the infrastructure required to setup an LTE/UMTS/etc network is less costly

You are wrong.

Both countries have parts of the country covered by the Alps, high mountains that make cell coverage expensive and several areas still have very spotty coverage with often very old GPRS/Edge-only cell towers.

Also there is a competition going on with more than four telecom companies competing that lowers consumers monthly costs (cell phone data plans).

Additionally the former state based telecom copper cables infastructure aged badly and hasn't been touched for 15 years and the fiber network infrastructure connects just big cities, bit not small towns in the Alps. In many areas cell connection is the only option to get 1+Mbit data connection, as the copper cable infrastructure hasn't been upgraded since the mid nineties.
> ...covers a similar question: what happens if the losing party has to pay the prevailing party's legal fees?

That's not at all a similar question. We're talking about staking the following strategy through the heart:

* Some part of USGov makes an overreaching legal demand using a really shaky (perhaps unsupportable) legal argument.

* They get a magistrate to issue an order in an "emergency" ex parte hearing

Now either:

* USGov presents that court order to a small and/or legally clueless business who says: "This is a court order! I have to comply with it, else I get in trouble!". USGov gets what they wanted and gets to bully another unwary victim with the same bullshit tactic

or

* USGov presents that court order to a larger and/or legally savvy business who examines it and says: "No. This is bullshit."

* That company goes to the court and tells the court why the order is bullshit

* The court quietly mumbles: "USGov... they're right, looks like it's bullshit."

* USGov goes: "Oops! We really didn't need that anyway!", withdraws the request, and retries it at a later day with a less savvy victim

So, completely different situations.

If USGov had to keep pushing such cases through if the defendant demanded that they be pushed through, what you'd get is what we get when Newegg fights patent trolls: evisceration of bullies, thugs, and the chicanery that permits them to operate.
Nor does it explain the original Prohibition, a single paragraph of law that created an explosion of organized crime, reclassified a tremendous percentage of American adults as lawbreakers, and filled prisons.

Prohibition is a timeless, recurring issue. I think it comes from something even more timeless: moral authoritarianism.

The urge felt by many people to force their neighbor to do things the Right Way.

Why would it happening later be more trouble? At best we'd see it coming and have 1000 years to prepare. At worst it'd happen just as suddenly as people already expect it to. In either case, we'll probably have better technology to manage it in 1000 years than we do today.
We'll never make the planet completely uninhabitable. Even our nuclear weapons couldn't do that, let alone burning dinosaurs, however profligately.

All we have to do is make the planet uninhabitable for us, and the problem ultimately corrects itself.
In this context, yes.

Newegg's actions were different, in that the patent owner's dropping the suit didn't actually resolve the question of infringement. It was still out there, and the patent owner could re-file suit at any point in the future. Between now and then, if Newegg were in fact infringing, monetary damages would continue to pile up. So the uncertainty can have a pretty significant impact on business decisions and impair their ability to operate. A request for declaratory judgment seeks to resolve that uncertainty so that both parties can get back to normal.

For Newegg, the request accomplishes a few things. It lets them clear the air, indirectly help solve the resulting from the remaining suits against retailers selling Rosewill products, and it's the legal equivalent of spiking the football and giving the troll a swift kick in the nuts. Minero Digital now gets to defend itself in a Delaware court, absent all of the little advantages of East Texas. It's a rather bad break for them.

Honestly, if I were a patent troll, I'd be scared shitless to send a letter to someone like Newegg. With their stance on patent suits, they're exactly the sort of company that would preemptively file a request for declaratory judgment after they were contacted.

No, it should not. Why it is unusual? Happens to me from time to time (not exactly three dozens, though, 20-25 attempts).
Are there any serious predictions that the planet will become uninhabitable, even a little bit? People can live in a huge range of climates, far more extreme than global warming predictions. Plants also grow well in high temperatures and with artificial irrigation, don't require regular rainfall.
The article is missing a subject to the "decline" and I presume the "people" that you are talking about are "investors". Twitter is growing year over year (YoY); but the rate at which its user base is growing YoY is slowing down or declining. At an already large user base, having exponential growth is just hard. But other similar category companies of similar magnitude of user size are doing well. So it just looks like Twitter is not growing fast enough to justify funds pouring money into TWTR. The earnings multiplier is simply not there for TWTR. Here's a nice graph that summarizes recent relative growth pattern: https://www.statista.com/chart/3200/twitters-user-growth-com...
millionaires? You mean like successful lawyers and doctors, members of the middle class? Someone worth a couple million? I guess criminals do rob them, using home invasion techniques. Generally though I guess these people are more often the target of burglaries.

Maybe you mean Billionaires? In which case, they don't because of private security, they're difficult to find, and anyway those people don't care cash.
As for "going pee next to Andy many times", Szilard was trying to switch from physics to biology and was housing for ideas at Karolinska.

He visited Klein, who happened to follow him to the bathroom and saw blood in the pot after him. As a non practicing doctor, but avid observer, he quickly diagnosed him with cancer. Szilard then signed up for one of the highest doses of radiotherapy in humans. He survived both the therapy and the cancer and lobbied afterwards to set up EMBL (with Viki Weisskopf, patterned after CERN).

This sounds quite similar to the competency model, which basically entails listing required competencies for a position and then developing a set of specific questions to evaluate each question.

Probably the only good thing I did in my first management job was to create a specific competency matrix for each position and to evaluate candidates against it. We only hired a handful of people, but I was very happy with every person I hired.

You're trying to talk about Republicans as having a single coherent philosophy, which is just not so. Same with the Democrats. Because of our voting system, there are only ever two viable parties, and so both parties have to be broad coalitions. The Republican party is a broad coalition of social and religious conservatives, libertarians, international realists, and neoconservatives.

Libertarian, Green, Reform, and other third parties are nice side shows, and good ways to get alternate ideas heard and stimulate conversation, but if you're serious about actually winning and exercising political power, you need to work inside one of the two big tents.
I was thinking he meant buying x86 competitors or burying them via patents. Intel both patents and buys patents on plenty of CPU-related tech, esp for x86 compatibility. Alpha and Transmeta CPU's come to mind immediately. Things just kept disappearing until we were down to basically three companies: Intel, AMD, and VIA. AMD had to pay Intel for I.P. with VIA being a niche player running losses despite some good tech.

So, I.P. control from purchases or threats could keep Intel on top of competition for a long time. Worst case was they end up in an oligopoly position where they can still pull huge profits.
This was probably the best possible case for them to try this with. They had a terrorist attack on American soil, and one involving Islamic extremists at that. Not only is there less than zero sympathy for the attackers, there's also an element of fear that you have here as well to go along with the hatred people tend to feel towards terrorists and mass shooters.

They probably thought that if it came down to a PR battle, assuming Apple didn't just roll over for fear of the PR consequences of "obstructing a terror investigation," they had it in the bag. Turns out? Not so much.
It's not standard - at least not per any official MS documentation. There are specific API calls you are supposed to make to query the program files directory, which will be different depending on whether you are a 32bit or 64bit program, and where the user/administrator has configured the program files folder to be.

This is also like windows programming 101, so I'm honestly a bit shocked to see oculus dropping the ball on this.

Netflix has a slightly unusual compensation structure. Basically everything is frontloaded into the annual salary. No bonuses. No soft benefits. Health care allowance is like $15k a year and is (I think) also folded into salary. This has the added benefit of making it very hard to poach Netflix employees since they'll be taking an almost automatic $100k salary cut to go work somewhere else (even it if comes out even on paper, the optics are bad).

I only know all this from talking to a friend who tried to poach a Netflix employee, maybe someone who actually works there can chime in.
If you take the title completely at face value, it seems like an absolutely obvious statement. At no point have there been this many humans on the planet, so of course there is no parallel to what we're doing.
I know this is somewhat counterintuitive, but this is potentially good news. It means that we have not established precedent that the government can force a private company to destroy even the illusion of privacy.
Of course I do. I wasn't meaning to condone their behavior, only to share that it's something they do extensively and give some context on their potential motivation for it.

C:\program files(x86)\

Only exists on x64 versions of Windows, hence an x64 CPU is always present [or emulated]. Unlike Linux, for example, Windows x64 can execute programs compiled for x86. To do so, Windows x64 uses something called WoW or "Windows on Windows". The exception was Windows XP x64 [not to be confused with Windows XP Professional x64 Edition] which only ran on Intel Itanium processors and therefore lacked x86 mode. It was rather short lived.
...because they really want to do it? If there's one thing I've learnt, looking at what the big companies are doing/didn't do is a really bad metric for things like this.

If this was a company started by Elon, perception of this company would have been totally different.
yeah I'm pretty sure that any approach I proposed, on a spur of the moment answer on an HN thread, without spending years of research and data analysis with a team of diverse experts in the field, would end up being a method to hire people who were more like me.
