Hmm...my adblock doesn't work on that site. There's an ad between each word. It actually made me more enraged. It's a listy, click bait, rubbish, bullshit article.
Not really.

I have other things to do.

The Al Gore, IPCC arguments look bad to me, just from what I wrote, that the temperature record and the CO2 record convince me that CO2 has little or nothing to do with temperature.

There is a biggie point: The Al Gore crowd has a claim about CO2 that would have us shoot in the gut much of current civilization. There are at least two ways to respond:

(1) From a lot of really good science, find a better answer.

(2) F'get about finding a better answer or even any answer but just debunk the Al Gore answer by finding holes in its argument.

Then for (2), one way is really simple, just look at the temperature and CO2 record back through the Vostok data 500,000+ years ago. I've basically done that and concluded that from the records we can reject the Gore claims about the effects of CO2 on climate. That Vostok data is what Gore gave as his main evidence that the higher temperatures were from higher concentrations of CO2. Alas, the CO2 concentrations rose about 800 years after the temperatures rose.

Another way to do (2) is just to use one of the main criteria of science: Can it make accurate predictions? Well, from some of the references I gave, apparently not. That is, by the CO2, Planck black body radiation, Navier-Stokes, etc. models, the temperature should be very significantly higher now. Well, it's not. So, in science, we reject the prediction and the modelling that made it.

So, as in (2), we don't find a good answer but just debunk and reject the Gore CO2 approach. Finding a good answer might be really difficult science, but debunking a proposed answer need not involve much science at all. That rejection is likely just what we are all supposed to do and maybe not publishable. So, we don't look for an academic record of it.

For the references I gave, right, they are not primary, but they do give some pointers to primary references. E.g., one of the graphs does name all the models. If that graph is all hogwash, I'd be among the first to want to have good information on that.

For that graph with results of the 70 or so models, I just found a link to the graph. I have the graph on my computer from years ago, but I didn't have a link to it on the Internet (I confess -- sloppy record keeping). So, I just took a long gibberish string left over from when I downloaded the graph, pasted it into Google, and let Google give me a link to the graph. I don't know where the graph came from originally (it may say but I haven't looked at that graph in detail for years) but likely not the Web page of the URL I gave. Sorry 'bout that, but I just found a way for you to see the famous graph.
I think the Big Think video with John Cleese tackles the distinction between what she's addressing and that one line.

Those are good ideas, but, and this is quite important, they're not what uBeam are saying they're going to make. There are definitely use cases where wireless power transmission would be brilliant. That alone is not enough to support uBeam - we can only judge them by what they say (and demonstrate), not be what we imagine they might do if they succeed.

Here's an answer from other HN threads. No one wants to buy a membership for the following reasons (in concert):

* no unified marketplace means you have to buy a variety of memberships.

* no established micro-transaction provider means costs are going to be above minimum credit card transaction fees which makes multiple memberships expensive.

* ad block is free.

If you're an established brand, you can count on some degree of good will. People will pay for the NYT, the WSJ, and the Economist. They'll pay for the LWN for a similar reason. But for BuzzFeed? Probably not. And for Random Site K, not a chance. I mean, would _you_ pay to use SpeedTest.net?

Proposal for an ideal extensible instruction set: CRISC version 1.01 [pdf]
Since it "just" mirrors your phone it shouldn't access your OSX address book.

But since most people use iCloud to sync that address book with their Mac and their phone its moot. If you open WhatsApp on your phone, it will take a trip through your contacts and upload everything to their servers. Which, I still maintain, is stupid and unnecessary and the numer one reason why I never bothered with WhatsApp.

It's an IM client. So let me put my numer in and that's it. If I want to use it, I probably already know the people that also use it. So if they in turn also hae uploaded their number, I could search for it and add it. Have them confirm out connection and chat away. There is no need to grab all my contacts' information without their consent.
They need a char-sized number, and memory used to be a tightly-budgeted commodity.

but spare us the absurd arguments that ads are what give the internet value.

Indeed. Some would argue they reduce the value of the internet.
In that line of thinking, I would have to say it's more like dough. At the beginning good dough is very wet and sticky. If you are not decisive with your actions it will stick to your hands, your board, your table, your hair... As you work with it, it creates a workable ball that is dry and elastic. You can shape it with ease, it stretches paper thin without breaking, it rises high and light. The more skilful you are, the faster you can go from gloop that threatens to devour the world to something that is smooth as silk and almost feels alive. Those with little skill and experience never actually get there. They believe that beautiful well formed dough is a myth. They compensate by adding more and more flour so that the dough doesn't stick to their hands, in the end baking literal bricks. They pretend that the resulting bread is good.

Yes. Code is like dough.

I actually thought of that when I wrote my comment. But still, notice that (1) the instructions take as their input registers that point to the data (ie. a char pointer), not some machine-level idea of a "string", and (2) the cost of these instructions is still O(n), even though you don't have to write the loop manually.

This paper, accepted to the top economics journal "Journal of Political Economy", demonstrates how the pay gap in lawyers is due to differences in performance, and that "the differential impact across genders in the presence of young children and differences in aspirations to become a law firm partner account for a large share of the difference in performance."

I hope this scientific study will help inform the debate on the gender pay gap, and in particular will show that the view that the gender pay gap is due in part to different aspirations is based in scientific evidence, not prejudice.

Disneyland Wedding Ideas 2016
This assumes an ecosystem based on apps from 3rd party developers. The real power is in having the company that is providing the system to also provide all the core functionality. Offloading the responsibility to "carry the platform" on 3rd party developers is a large part of the reason why no ecosystem provides an experience of integration that is satisfying. The first company to fully develop a system/platform that doesn't rely on 3rd party devs for basic development will be the first company that matches my vision of the future.

"Apps" from a large arsenal of companies instantly throws away any concept of uniformity. My bet is that the future holds fully walled gardens. To the point where, for example, every game you play will be released by the company that created the platform you choose. Even if it's just ports of a base game, that port will be released by the system creator, not the game developer/publisher. We just need the creators of the ecosystem to prioritize developing the entire system itself, rather than the current situation where they rely on 3rd party devs and attempt to reign control over them.

From what we've seen thus far, I am simply not confident that any platform will ever provide a fully immersive and integrated experience if it relies on SDKs and supposed "standards". The idea of a "standard" that actually gets followed to the letter is so far a mythical beast. I don't want my home automation system made up of devices from 20 different companies doing their "best" to interoperate properly. I want a single company to provide all the devices, and have them work flawlessly.

Edit --

Actually, I take it back. That's not fair -- according to their investors they don't have any intention of only making phone chargers;

With the explosion of “wearables’ wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to charge your watch, fitness tracker or noise-canceling headphones? What about if elderly people never had to ask a relative or healthcare worker to change the batteries on their hearing aids? The practical uses for uBeam technology is limitless.

Or the company themselves;

> With wires virtually eliminated, TVs can sit in the middle of a room cord-free and light fixtures will become “stick-on” without the need for routed power.

<--Original post-->

That's fair, but it sure seems like the obvious path to getting cell phone charging to work is to get a fixed object charging to work -- at which point, if they'd hired any bizdev people, they'll sell the hell out of the fixed object systems to anyone and everyone.

It's just striking to recollect the many complaints about only easy, derivative ideas being funded when a hard idea with tons of applications is being derided in such an intense fashion.

I'd rather they fund 10 uBeams that could yield useful insights or pivots than 0.

None of the three other articles refers to any model. The closest is Dr. Spencer. His published work been critiqued by better people than me, and is readily discoverable via search engine. I can find no record of him making predictions of future warming, just criticism of existing models over the nature of atmospheric water vapor, cloud formation, and infrared reflectivity. His claims are highly disputed (search for "Remote Sensing Wolfgang Wagner")

What's not clear from your replies is whether it tracks renames like mercurial, by having users run a manual command to ensure the VCS know about the rename. Except if bk has a file system monitor, I'll assume that's what it does.

I've heard some bad things about Kinesis in general. Why not have your cron job just put the logs onto S3 directly?

I've used Lambda a bit. The debugging process can be a pain, since you're forced the upload a ZIP file, and if your code times out Lambda doesn't give you any traceback to indicate what happened. There's also a maximum run time of each Lambda invocation, which I believe is 5 minutes. Is there a chance your parsing may run longer than that? Also, what will you do if you upload some bad code and the parsing fails? Will it be the end of the world if you lose data while you fix the parsing?

Oh, I see you plan on doing map-reduce to re-parse the logs, so maybe that part isn't as big a deal.

You could also consider doing something like rsyslog -> db-of-choice while also rotating the files off to S3 for long-term map-reduces. This is all to ignore the obvious ELK cluster solution, which will give you good data visualization and investigation options, but may be more of a headache to set up and maintain than you are looking for.

Anyway, those are my thoughts. Hope they help.
The FB post you linked to is a response to the general allegations, and not a response to the Senate's request. Thune's letter quotes part of tstocky's post:

Download new version in KDE's update tool. Same as doing apt-get dist-upgrade as far as I know. It was certainly offered to me.

In the end I reinstalled regular old Ubuntu, because there are no real alternatives, and it's at least marginally less in need of grandma-hard maintenance. (I still had to go into Grub's hidden boot menu and fiddle with the boot flags to get it to work - Ubuntu's installer doesn't do nomodeset by default, even though many brand new graphics cards will boot you into a black screen without it).

>Have you asked yourself the corresponding question?

Yes I have. There is in fact lots of things that would change my mind.

1. The laws of physics were proven to false and it turned out the CO2 does not trap energy in the atmosphere.

2. The sun was proven to be increasing significantly in solar output and this explained the warming we have seen to date.

3. The planet stopped warming and started cooling.

4. The source of the extra CO2 in the atmosphere was found to not be the result of burning fossil fuels.

5. We had highly predictive and accurate models that showed that warming via the accumulation of CO2 is not possible.

Is there any evidence that if you became aware of would change your mind?
I downloaded the PDF from that URL years ago, for free, no membeships, etc. Their main graph is on their page 2 of the PDF.

By eyeball, their graph looks a lot like the graph in the Wikipedia page you gave. I was unsure just when the Medieval Warm Period was, but the Wiki graph seems to say it was near year 1000.

My eyeball reading of the graph in the PDF says that the temperature in year 1000 is essentially the same as in year 2006 when the PDF was published, and the increase from year 900 to year 1000 was much like the increase from 1906 to 2006. I may be off by some 0.1 C or some such, but there are several curves so that about get to take your pick.

Bottom line: Year 1000 wasn't a disaster and wasn't caused by humans releasing CO2, so I'm not much worried about now and not convinced that the current temperature or recent increases were caused by CO2.

E.g., was the Little Ice Age caused by less CO2? I doubt it!
Sounds very useful. I'll give this a try right now on my personal machine and maybe even use it for some build scripts at work later if I like it.
I previously created my own "native" app from this by wrapping https://web.whatsapp.com in an Electron wrapper so that I could have WhatsApp live separate from the browser, with it's own Dock icon.

Some ways in which the official app is better:

* The official app has keyboard shortcuts.
* The official app has better notifications.

i think that bitkeeper could fill in the enterprise niche (like perforce or clearcase) - very big organisations with a lot of developers don't like it that every developer can check out the whole source tree. They usually like to have access control by department/group. Also stuff like 'read only access' or 'right to commit' can be added for greater bureaucratic bliss.
