Water is only one problem. By 2070 some places might be uninhabitable according to this[1] study, due to heat.

> At WBTs [wet bulb temperature] above 35C, the high heat and humidity make it physically impossible for even the fittest human body to cool itself by sweating, with fatal consequences after six hours. For less fit people, the fatal WBT is below 35C. A WBT temperature of 35C – the combination of 46C heat and 50% humidity – was almost reached in Bandar Mahshahr in Iran in July 2015.

At some point it's going to cost big bucks. If the study holds water, the Gulf will either need to be evacuated or artificial habitation will need to be built.

She's just being treated as a bro. Dudes are just immature like that. The touching is different though but I won't address that. Anyway to give my explanation more color, let me tell you about one of my "bro" friends.

We go to college together and we always make fun of each other for our differing tastes in TV shows. He likes pokemon, which I think is for little kids or adults with developmental problems while I like game of thrones, which he thinks is a show only liked by people who enjoy watching penises on television as the show periodically flashes one into your face for no reason. We make fun of each other about this all the time because we're bros, in manspeak this means we're just close friends.

I've had worse pranks played on me by said bro. One day I left my computer unattended and unlocked. He took control of my computer, changed the background to a giant wet penis; Took a screenshot of the page; made that screenshot the background then proceeded to hide all the icons and menu bars on my desktop. The end result was essentially what appeared to be a frozen computer screen with the background replaced by a huge penis. I thought it was some crazy virus as even restarting my computer didn't work. I spent the next ten minutes trying to debug the situation all the while staring at a giant penis. Funniest thing ever, we both got a good laugh out of it.

I mean this prank could be interpreted as inappropriate depending on the situation and person, but the point is neither me nor my friend would be willing to treat each other so "inappropriately" if we didn't feel close.

So in short, both sides have made social errors. Their actions were immature and they failed take into regard your discomfort as a woman, while the OP misinterpreted their intentions as sexist.

The resolution to this situation is easy. Ask him to stop... or join in on the fun. Openly declare their tastes in baseball as stupid and mindless. How could any sport be more boring? Everyone would've definitely got a good laugh if you were the one who pulled off that remote control prank.

You must also keep in mind that you are still in a situation where majority rules and you must honor that situation as you're the only person who wants to watch friends, it would be disproportionately unfair if they catered to your tastes instead of the majority.

Whatever the OP chooses to do I honestly believe that her coworkers actions were not intentionally discriminatory.
I think you're misunderstanding what he is saying.
A few years ago I read in the news that a small (20?) group of people in the US (Texas?) had literally refused orders from the federal government and were well-armed enough that they continued to exist and live without government control. Sorry i wasn't able to pull the exact reference, but it makes for an excellent, "yes" as a response to your question -- at least in that case.

In general tho I agree. Thinking you're going to win against the United States government using guns is a fool's errand and will probably just get you killed.
I don't understand much of the criticism in this thread so far.

Yes, the app is built using web technologies and uses Electron, but AFAIS it's a fully fledged client, not just a wrapper around a website. The interface is built right there with CoffeeScript and LESS, and there is a Hangouts JS library which they use.

I'm not a big fan of using HTML/JS/CSS for everything myself, but this project looks really complete and well built. If it was built with C++ and Qt someone would come and say "why didn't you use Gtk? or <framework X>?".

Even if it costs nothing, Facebook is a far better option for hair salons and other similar small businesses.

FAAS and mBAAS still cost resources, so they still cost money, and someone has to pay for that. If you're hosting a low traffic, mostly static site, I think you're better off paying $18/y on NearlyFreeSpeech (for a dynamic site with a database), where you are actually a client, than relying on the freemium plan from a cloud service for which you are just a prospect.
I recently attended an Ethereum workshop that was scheduled for two hours. Three hours later and most of the audience were no more wise about Ethereum than when they first entered the room. It certainly didn't help that workshop was led by web developer (a passionate Ethereum supporter) who had no interest in the concensus algorithm or other dense technical issues, but what was quickly apparent to me was that Ethereum has a steep learning curve. With such technologies, it is important to take more time to understand the concepts and the details. Maybe in the rush for VC money, some developers have failed to grasp that.

EtherScan is a Block Explorer and Analytics Platform for Ethereum, which is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts.

What is this platform??? What is "DAO"??? What are "Uncles"??? What is "Ethereum"???

It's not as bad as it seems. The hackers have their ETH locked in a Child DAO, so they will not be able to get the ETH out for a long time,by which a fix will be issued. The entire Ethereum Ecosystem is collaborating on a solution.

> We may not be able to prove mechanically whether any program halts, but if we can do it for any program appearing in practice, that may be good enough.

Alas, we can't even do that. Eg I have a simple program that systematically looks for a counterexample to Fermat's Last Theorem, and halts if it finds one.

We know now that this simple and comparatively natural program will never halt. But the proof is crazy.
My guess at how the attackers are doing it:

They are calling splitDAO:

https://github.com/slockit/DAO/blob/develop/DAO.sol#L618

splitDAO calls withdrawRewardFor which ends up calling back into the users contract.

https://github.com/slockit/DAO/blob/develop/DAO.sol#L686

withdrawRewardFor(msg.sender); // be nice, and get his rewards
totalSupply -= balances[msg.sender];
balances[msg.sender] = 0;
paidOut[msg.sender] = 0;

the state is modified after the callback in particular the balances variable.

however, earlier in the function it moved funds to a new dao based on the balances variable.

// Move ether and assign new Tokens
uint fundsToBeMoved =
(balances[msg.sender] * p.splitData[0].splitBalance) /
p.splitData[0].totalSupply;
if (p.splitData[0].newDAO.createTokenProxy.value(fundsToBeMoved)(msg.sender) == false)

so presumably an attacker can call splitDAO and then recursively call splitDAO and the funds will be transferred twice. there is also some complications around rewardToken because this state is modified before the callback but apparently it is all zero at the moment.

if this is the bug the attackers are exploiting then maybe if they generated rewards it would stop the drain of funds.

however, the fact the draining is still going on and the DAO people are likely to know how they are doing it and it hasn't been stopped reduces my confidence that this is how the attackers are doing it.

EDIT: to add i don't think you can cash out the new DAO for 28 days so this is probably not how the attackers are doing it.

EDIT: update again.

https://blog.slock.it/dao-security-advisory-live-updates-2a0...

'It would appear the attacker has moved the stolen ether to a child DAO, which means that the funds be moved for at least 27 days.'

-> i'm now fairly confident this is how the attack worked :)
What is 'network consensus'? It certainly isn't giving everyone a vote as to whether they think the rollback is a good idea or not. Instead, it's connected people wielding influence.
They're now talking about essentially blacklisting the hacker's ETH address, how is that decentralised?

Halting trading is a show of force too, if they believed a single thing of what they preach they'd let the free market continue its course with the hacker walking away with the money.

Looking at your comment history it seems clear you have an agenda here, so I'll ignore the ad hominem.

And why does the title talk about superlatives?
I'm not sure someone else could start exploiting the bug - I suspect that they need to have DAO tokens and successfully vote to split their share off into a new sub-DAO they control first, and if I recall correctly there's a minimum voting period that has to elapse for that to happen.
I agree with you on this. My point was that we should be charitable in our judgement of the group, especially if we lack other perspectives. Someone from the group might say she always wanted to get her will and alienated herself. We can't know. That's the problem with anecdotes.

Regardless, a small group of people has more room for compromise than a democratic state, and as I said, I don't condone the way these kind of situations are usually handled.

In a time of adversity, the player, as Captain of their warship, must take command against an enemy. Soldiers are thrust into circumstances that will test their training and reveal their character as they learn to lead and make decisions necessary to achieve victory. The game also introduces environments, weaponry and abilities to Call of Duty.

I recall reading in the Bitcoin docs that the Forth-like scripting language was non-Turing complete. In addition, nothing particularly complex was using the scripting at the time.

I guess this sort of thing would be the reason. One thing is finding bugs in ordinary software, where the bugs are accidents. It's hard.

Another thing entirely is where you are looking for adversarial bugs. Just look at security articles that appear on HN now and again. They're incredibly complex, and it's not like you can turn off the firehose. When you fix one gap, someone will find another.

I haven't done a lot of reading on ETH, but I would imagine the smart thing to do would be to have some small number of contract types that a lot of people can stare at and try to break. The more attention is distributed among various bespoke contracts, the harder it gets to secure them.

It's like everyone building their own awesome cars, with special bells and whistles, and then asking these non-security engineers to design a lock. Everyone will end up re-learning some painful lessons.

Serverless = new name for PaaS.

VPS (virtual private servers) were available (and largely ignored) for quite a while before 2006, when AWS came along with the catchy word "cloud". This single word changed everything. Same technology all of the sudden became cool, and everybody started using it.

Maybe now it is the turn of PaaS [1] - call it "serverless" and folks finally start seeing all the benefits (true scalability, efficient resource utilization, timely and painless software upgrades, et c.)?

Oh wow, yeah, are we supposed to get "zero x" out of "oh by"? Even having that explained to me barely makes sense.

Something like "FYI" (for your information)would be more intuitive.

Even trying something like *.co (asterisk) would make more sense while still being weird because asterisks usually mark the fact that more information is available.

Is Google App Engine an example of serverless? The user does not really think about servers, and the code is mostly written as event handlers. The abstraction is a bit leaky though, and you can tell that there are instances being spun up and down.

Its nice picking your time scales and models to convey a message as this image shows when CO2 was in the thousands parts per million.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Phaneroz...

Now whilst its true the sun is heating up before it goes super nova millions of years in the future, which is what alot of the global warming fear is based on, and yes man has contributed a small % of CO2 by releasing CO2 from fossil fuels and cut down trees, the biggest threat facing mankind in the next 30 years is the Grand Solar Minimum.

A Grand Solar Minimum (GSM) is where the sunspots in the 11 year solar cycle reduce in frequency and strength and extreme weather becomes common place.

Sun spots reduce extreme weather events.

The last GSM was seen during the Dalton Minimum and Maunder Minimum, which are now classed as mini ice ages. When this occurred we had things like increased volcanic activity which lead to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summer but extreme cold weather with temperatures seen in the UK of -37 Degrees C, sea ports and the English channel freezing over, extreme winds which did things like blow copious amounts of sand inland, leading to houses being buried in places like Santon Downham, massive inland sand dunes which is what Thetford Forest is planeted on in a bid to return the soil back to some use, but most importantly estimates suggest around 25% of the global population died due to cold and famine due to crop failures.

Today we have increased crop yields so whilst more land has been turned over to agriculture with modern farming practices, the risk is still very much a major threat in the next few decades as a hectare will feed more mouths today than it did during the medieval ice age and the global population has ballooned since the introduction of oil.

There are steps you can take yourself though to reduce your risk, like buying suitable farm land whilst also investing in solar which can power air source heat pumps in case energy supplies & communication become disrupted due to extreme weather events.

1 Watt of solar power can provide upto 3 Watts of heat energy from air source heat pumps. These are just like air con units working in reverse.

Now whilst no one wants to create a panic, looking at the facts in context is important and these points we need to bear in mind.

Firstly there were no meteorological offices during the medieval ice ages, so the evidence amassed by Professor Brian Fagan which you can read about in his book
"The Little Ice Age: How Climate Made History 1300-1850" explains how man was affected and were very likely the drivers of political events that led to the French Revolution, the Irish Potatoe famine and more.

Its also worth pointing out that differences in the scientific community means no one really knows whether our manmade CO2 is going to benefit us or not when considering plants grow better with more CO2.

So there you go, a brief introduction of what TPTB are currently capitalizing on, if you fancy capitalizing on it yourself in innovative ways yourself.
