I have some knowledge of this area. So the basic problem with acid rain was that the acidity was freeing trace amounts of aluminum in the soil, causing widespread deaths of trees and fish. (There are other mechanisms also, but that was one of the primary ones.)

The solution was the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act, which made cap & trade the law of the land. This law placed a legal limit on the total amount of SO2 and NOx that society can release into the atmosphere. Further, by allowing companies to trade their emissions allotments, they created a mechanism that dramatically reduced the cost to society of making these reductions by creating enormous financial incentives to reward the companies that figured out the least expensive ways to reduce these emissions.

This is one of the most successful environmental laws of all time. To quote the EPA:

"We estimate that the annual dollar value of benefits of air
quality improvements will be very large, and will grow over time as emissions control programs take their full effect, reaching a level of approximately $2.0 trillion in 2020. These benefits will be achieved as a result of CAAA-related programs and regulatory compliance actions estimated to cost approximately $65 billion in 2020. Most of these benefits (about 85 percent) are attributable to reductions in premature mortality associated with reductions in ambient particulate matter; as a result, we estimate that cleaner air will, by 2020, prevent 230,000 cases of premature mortality in that year."[1]

They reduce the time young people spend outside which reduces violence overall. They also allow people to vent in a non-confrontational manor which further curbs violence.

PS: Another thing I wonder about is the fact you will get caught by the police in game changes how people think. In real life or fantasy you are very likely to get away with things, but in games failure is much more common.
Does anybody see a place to watch these films? I would absolutely love to see these.
A declaration of war is usually done by countries, not by small groups of people or terrorist organizations.

What "suspected operatives" in the US would you be talking about?
Inside the frame would still work just fine if you used the frame as the antenna and if they want to get it out they have to destroy the bike so they're out a any money they were intending to make anyway.
Agreed on the Charity Navigator front. I'm guessing Watsi hasn't been assessed by e.g. GiveWell? Their top four are where most of my donations go.
It’s not just about developer time, it’s also about the users.

The amount of users willing to use an open source chat system is limited.

If we want to profit from the same network effects that proprietary chat systems profit from, we need to get everyone into one system, which also scales to extreme scales, and, yes, allows content censoring on some level – but also allows anyone to open their own federated server with different censoring policies.

Adding more standards doesn’t help, unless they federate both ways.

(Although Matrix is the least problematic example there, Signal is far worse in those regards)
Whilst I understand the sentiment, I do wonder if the boredom you're experiencing isn't just a transitional phase.

When it comes to leisure, I personally believe there's an art to being good at doing it. What I find is that it takes time to unplug from 'work mode' to truly enjoy 'leisure mode', and that time of unplugging often comes in the form of doing nothing/very little. As you say, that's fine for a while, but soon you want something to do. However, if you think about it, there are tons of things you can do with your leisure time, in some ways the choices are even more vast than those you can find paid employment for. What is required is time for the boredom to subside and imagination to kick in.

For example, if you taught yourself the chemistry behind photosynthesis just because you were interested in it, would it matter to you if you weren't paid for knowing it?
Discontinuing Scene Builder sent mixed message about Oracle seriousness about JavaFX either.
It certainly can be. However, if it's a 'golden handcuffs' situation a 'guaranteed' vest of several million dollars for a 3-5 year commitment is something that I would certainly be willing to take.
So, to register it you would need to have internet access? In that case it is unusable for offline work. Even if it works after it has been registered, what the hell would you do when you need to reinstall your system?
At 1:25 of the video they show a chart indicating the review star spread across all reviews. I was surprised to see how high the average review is for items.

My thought is the average would be lower due to the fact more people tend to review an item when they are dissatisfied. Perhaps people are trying to confirm their purchase decision by rating things higher?

I was unaware the company existed. I've been using fakespot (http://fakespot.com/) for a few months now and it's become a vital part of deciding which products to buy.
Agreed. I expected what you described. I'd call her more like the inverse of a muse, rather than the opposite.
I'm a private pilot as of 1 year this month, having only 250 hours. Of those hours many of which are spent traveling "cross country" out of Tampa Airspace into New Orleans, Miami and Orlando areas... arguably some pretty busy airspace.

I'm constantly shocked by not only how well traffic controllers do their job, but how serious they seem to take and how courteous and helpful 99% of the controllers are, both in regional approach/departure TRACON and large center control such as Miami, Jacksonville, Atlanta or Houston.

The majority of the goals of what they are trying to do with "NexGen"[1] is primarily moving all aircraft to more effecient GPS routes, which are for the most part already in place and getting airplanes to talk to each-other 2 way with ADS-B in and out. Of course every pilot is going to have a different opinon, but as others have stated my experience has shown that the FAA has done a decent job of accomplishing that mission without completely disrupting the current air traffic control, and of course it's not ideal it's still as good as you can hope for givin the constraints. We have a tendancy of blaming the government of being too beurocratic, but the implimentation of current next-gen policy has been not only pragmatic but mostly sympathetic to the fleet of aging General Aviation. [2]

My experience are this: I can get in my plane, file a flight plan to an airport in the next state, ask for GPS direct and get traffic awareness of about 80% of the planes in the sky directly and the remaining 20% are sent to my plane via ADS-B. I'm not having to fly using only Victor Airways reliant on aging VOR stations I'm having NEXRAD radar streamed into my cockpit, including weather TAF and METAR updates at airports. Other planes in the sky know where I'm at as well. A lot of this can be done with a small GPS box and an iPad. (And yes, I know ADS-B out is only certified installed equipment) But foreflight and many other solutions are here, the ADS-B recievers are cheap and it works today. [3]

All of this has only been available over the last few years because of ground work and policy that has been being pushed over the last 2 decades, and is within reach of not only the largest air carriers but even the student pilot just getting his start.

This ends up being a surprisingly helpful tutorial on caveats and workarounds with Golang and CGO. In addition to being curious about CockroachDB, I've also been curious about compiling from source with CGO based apps in Golang. Thanks!
Twelve Fancy Chrome DevTools Tips
We can only go through a few more doublings of our current energy production rate before we boil the oceans from a thermodynamic equilibrium standpoint (ignoring greenhouse gases).

Earth has a fixed surface area. And the only way to get rid of waste heat from energy production is to radiate it into space. Finding this equilibrium for given quantities of energy generation into waste heat is a pretty straightforward calculation.
...should know better than to use products and services online?

Your comment is as toxic as the acquihire culture itself, and only makes users feel less "part of the internet" when companies treat them as disposable.

>Can a good salesforce use bluster as a main tool to sell something shitty, such as oracle's IaaS offering? How does that sales process work?

Well, yes, obviously and consistently. The sales process starts on the golf course/opera/football private box
The overhead doesn't matter for simple CRUD stuff. The developer's time is what matters. The dynamic language are more productive.
Ask HN: Deep learning attack vectors
Since the possibility of living in a world full of AIs based on deep learning is almost a fact now, what would be the weak points that could be explored to throw an AI off the tracks? Is deviating from the learning data the best approach?
Not that I find the debate particularly productive, but "there will be no breaking changes" doesn't mean "final", it usually means (at most) release candidate. Or even beta. While "it works but we might still introduce breaking changes" is not a release candidate but maybe a technology preview.
"Speaking of that, what's the extent of case law for open-source licenses? Is there a compilation somewhere of decisions that make for good background reading? "

Sadly, no. There's basically only one or two decisions you can find at all.

Something is better than nothing. Can you name the ones that you think are relevant and readable?

Thanks!
I'm probably missing something here, but without a secure enclave, why can't the PIN be bruteforced "offline", i.e. not via the iPhone?
Why, it's usually indeed a journey, with a liquidity event as a destination. Often the the acquisition also means dissolution, so the destination is final.
Of course. But we hope people will keep them and continue to support patients.
I was at a startup 15 years ago where the "nothing real to do" scenario played out to the letter.

They were bought by Gemstar-TV Guide, who moved the team to their office and then apparently forgot they'd bought the company. Our team pretty much had no duties other than showing up to "work". No one got shiny golden handcuffs, but they did get their salaries paid for a year. Eventually someone from HQ figured this out and everyone got the boot.

I was the lone holdout. Instead of moving with the team, I'd gotten a nice offer from Adobe and decided to run with it. The good news was that my job lasted for more than a year. The bad news was that I actually had to work.
Yes, but there is still a vulnerable (dynamic) WP backend sitting on the same domain name.
The article is not clear but this seems to be limited to US commercial space operaters and country to country colloboration happen on a different level.

The most technologically advanced is a matter of opinion. How would they block Russia or Chinese lauches? Even India has frequent launches. This is far fetched as either could then do likewise.

It would be odd if China or Russia decided to unilaterally announce they are going to take on role as traffic cop as a 'public service'. This is a matter for global agreement and discussion and will require an international agency.
Was Firebase acquihired? I would think not. Without knowing the details of the amounts paid, the fact itself that Firebase is still around and Google seem to actually keep investing in it - tells me it was more than just an expensive hiring process.
Exactly this. I also just started using Angular 2. Unlike the OP I have a lot of web development experience, but this is the first time I've used Angular or Typescript. While I really like Angular and am really enjoying working with it, it is pretty exasperating to have loads of breaking changes between release candidates. That's not what release candidates are for. Forms are the worst. You're not supposed to introduce, deprecate and then remove whole modules between release candidates. There are even major, breaking changes between the final release candidate and the release version 2.0.0.

If anyone still needs proof that having a competitive IaaS offering is not just about capex just watch Oracle burn piles of money and totally fuck this up.
Mid-air collisions involving airliners are rare because of the FAA and ATC. Also, mid-air collisions are not and have never been the greatest contributor to airline passenger deaths (or aviations deaths in general.) And on that count, the FAA has also been a major contributor to safety, since the regulations regarding pilot and aircraft certification, as well as operational regulations (and enforcement) are really what makes airline travel safe.

Incidentally, the biggest aviation accident in history (Tenerife) still can be felt today in how the FAA trains ATC personnel and how they choose the language that is authorized for use by ATC.
It's the effectiveness of Tencent's donation that is being increased.

Which I guess I don't feel bad that more money is being raised for Watsi, but it's interesting that people don't see this sort of thing for what it is.
> interesting - what is the precise issue?

The most complaints are about not working private messages to Matrix users (because the bridge doesn’t join people), about the bridge de-syncing from IRC – and you suddenly having every matrix user thrice in the channel, and similar issues.

General stability, ability to chat with Matrix users as if they were there natively, etc.
Roma Gypsies flee to California after Europe turns more hostile
I'm assuming that Trump knows the consequences of what he is suggesting. I don't see a place where I insinuated that he isn't aware. I did say he might want to seem market savvy. It makes him come across as knowledgeable and professional, which are two traits that his critics generally claim he lacks.

Still, even a knowledgeable person may have ulterior motives for wishing to see a market sell-off. Especially one who is running for president against an incumbent party.
NPM and semantic versioning allows to manage all the dependencies. However the fine granular nature of js packages, the large number of dependencies, lack of governance and possibly discipline result in an experience that is very different from the Java environment.
I mean, it depends on the structure. Maybe a crummy one was chosen in your case. The fact that individual shops are rolling their own or choosing their own structure means on average they have a poorer one than a language that picks good defaults to begin with. But you have to pick something, or you'll have 6 developers doing 6 different things and nobody will be able to read anything
I think thats exactly what he's saying.
Lmao, this is exactly how I've felt, and why I'm using ordinary js with closures and a bit of jquery for the time being while I get up to speed and figure out wtf is going on.

"Javascript the good parts" has served me well.
I was an Angular fanboy but one look at version 2 had me reconsidering. I was introduced to Vue at a local JS developers meeting.

I'm having little problem learning the language. My problem was trying to bite off the CLI - Webpack is a huge learning curve for me.

From what I understand in Vue 2 they're tackling that by having two different versions of the CLI, but I haven't checked it out yet. Vue listens to their developers and really does try harder.
Honestly, compared to Dota 2, where you're spending probably 45 minutes playing with uncoordinated teammates, everyone doesn't speak the same language and you probably lose, its a walk in the park (I love both of those games).
My anxiety has slowly lessened as I've gotten older. I'm now 32 and married with kids. I attribute it to getting out on my own, growing up, and letting things go.

Get out: For most of us, there was something toxic about our home or school environment. It might be obvious, or it might be something you have to dig out. You may still be in a toxic environment, where people undermine your sense of who you are and discourage real growth. (In fact, most school and work environments have this quality, but it makes a big difference how you take it and what you're doing with the rest of your hours.) For me, I had to get some serious distance from my parents and get out of grad school. Get out, and you'll begin to heal, which is a process that takes years.

Grow up: Take ownership of your body, your living space, your time, and so on. Clean your apartment. Go to the gym. Get a real job. Enjoy hard, meaningful work. Have real responsibilities. A lot of people seem to want to avoid growing up. Have friends and hobbies. Stop coasting on the advantages that launched you into the world (money, grades, connections, accomplishments, etc.).

Letting things go: Every once in a while, you'll be relieved to find you just don't care about something anymore. This is a known side effect of getting older and could be biological. You don't care as much what people think of you. You don't care about some old grudge or embarrassment you've been clinging on to. You don't care what you thought your life would be. You just live for now.

Keynes didn't make the implicit assumption that it was good - he thought the potential pitfalls (a la the British idle rich) were an interesting problem that the world would just have to learn to deal with. He just assumed it would happen.

On the health issue - most of the studies I've seen cap the health benefits of working at a few hours a week. Volunteering for an hour a day seems to be just as beneficial as spending most of your waking hours on an office job.
After all these years (yes, all 3-4 of them), you'd expect the battery life to be higher, like say 1 hour? Every drone seems to be stuck at between 20min - 30min of battery life.
Sure, but 140 has become a defining attribute of the service. Now it's 140 with an asterisk, which is less of a change than a straight up length increase.
This is pretty old news.
This release cycle is fine so long as you don't rely on anything but Angular 2.

As soon as you rely on packages that support Angular 2, the 'good and ready' argument breaks, since you can't start till all the packages you rely upon have already made the upgrade, and you can't take to long either, because you can't expect further work or fixes to be made to older versions of the packages.

12-month breaking changes, that would have made sense.

Don't worry too much.

I don't see browsers dropping ES5 support any time soon, and jQuery isn't going to disappear.

There will still be plenty of opportunity for people to jump in seize great market opportunities using PHP, jQuery, and chewing gum while all of us full-time professionals are here on HN arguing about Angular vs React and whether npm is insane, awesome, or both.
You must not work in Fortune 500 IT. Dear God how they love to shovel money at Larry Ellison. Trust? Let me tell you about the CIO's who distrust any data storage that ISN'T Oracle.
The advertising from this company is so false and pricing so outrageous it is essentially fraud. If you want to embarrass your tech people then make them use this 'cloud'.
Ah yes. I was confused by your response. That makes more sense. No, I generally don't ask push others to use text-based email, but when asked, I explain the difference with a definite preference for text.

One thing that seems to have helped me (but is very much YMMV), is when I reply, it keeps the html code all messed up. Then when the person I'm discussing with sees that, they'll occasionally ask me why their email is messed up. That gives me an opportunity to explain html vs text, and they usually would rather their email "work everywhere".
I appreciate your position, I really do. It's not like I am clear-cut on this myself, even if my frustration makes it sounds like I am. I appreciate that the language, the platform and the web itself needs to evolve.

But I object to the argument that people can just continue to do their thing, because people in that position are overwhelmingly dependent on the ecosystem. Guidance, libraries, tools. And that ecosystem has left them behind, or is at least very far along that road.

Of course reasonable people might disagree, but to me, that people might write unoptimized (or just plain horrible) code is a very, very small price to pay for the empowerment the web delivers to them. And as to "insecure" - Jane and Joe want to show a slideshow of their hand-baked Macarons, not write banking auth systems. If they manage to open up a security risk, the attack surface is usually rather small, and the fault lies with the platform.

No, I stand by this: Javascript was our generations Hypercard, on steroids, and we've almost completely squandered its potential.
Ah, yes. I feel dumb now. :) For some reason, opening the navigation drawer isn't my first thought.
Demand can't outpace supply forever. It can grow forever, but anything that's lucrative will eventually be sought out, and the price will come down. Labour included. Also, someone will always be willing to undercut others, which is why the arbitrage condition is basically a law of economics, and always leads to a price equilibrium.
A counterpoint: We have this in my family -- stronger in some family members, ranging from OK to extreme. My family shares a farm. It has to go.

Today I think it's a form of procrastination. In this family it's often about efficiency and use of resources, but it always comes down to having a "valid reason behind it", as you put it. It can also be a form of trolling, especially when you don't actually want something to be done, if you succeed in getting one or two hangers on.

I still believe that doing things collectively is a good thing, but this particular behavior pushes me on, ever so slightly, into the modern, individualistic way where everyone has their own of every thing.

You know what? You can always re-paint it. It's not a big deal. I know this might be rich from just one short comment from you, but if I were you, I would be wary and consider this deeply. Your examples remind me of a family member in particular, and it's debilitating.

Snowden's discharge report makes no mention of "shin splints". It unambiguously mentions "stress fracture", which is unambiguously a form of a "broken bone" by colloquial definition (being as there is no medical definition).

The whole point is that there's no way one can reasonably claim Snowden was exaggerating or misstating the reason for his discharge. The Committee's assertions on this point were just a smear, and a pretty crude one at that.
