Sure. But if the carrier group is "projecting power" in the middle of the ocean, who cares? Get close enough to shore so it can project its power over some militarily interesting area, and it starts to get in range of all kinds of scary weaponry. Assuming a technologically advanced adversary, and not a bunch of goons with Ak-47's and RPG's, of course.

So in the end I guess the question is whether a carrier group is a cost-effective power projection tool in the age of supersonic (or even ballistic, if we choose to believe those Chinese things are real) anti-ship missiles, submarines and whatnot. Or are they just like battleships in WWII?
I don't know, i'm no expert, and certainly not a judge of what is normal and what is not. I do know that 'normal' isn't the same for everybody.

But if you get a serious event in life (example, death of family member or other loved one), that makes you doubt if you still enjoy life or whats the use of 'finishing' it till your body gives up.. those thoughts will occur, sometimes swiftly sometimes occupying your brain for longer. Do keep in mind, having thoughts and actually acting upon those thoughts are two different things.

Though pondering if tom sawyer has brass handles on his coffin.... Maybe if i was reading tom sawyer, yes that would probably be a thought that came before others. :) Have to admit, i never read that book, so not entirely sure why one would fantasise about his funeral.
It's true London misses clean air targets. It is nothing like as bad as the old smogs.
Wait 11 years and you will get the same amount of holidays as today 40 year old. Complain too much an you will get the same amount as today. I would say that this is nice to receive more rest when you get older as you probably are going to need some more.
Indeed.

For example concerning glasshouse gases, we need to come back to 1990's emission levels because that's what the Earth can absorb. The problem is, we're about 1bn more, our levels of consumption are still soaring, and citizen of new nations deserve to emit as much carbon as we do.

Once we transfer the carbon limitations to every individual in developed country, we'll all throw our arms in the air saying "That's oppressive!". Example: When the Greek people learnt they had to pay the same taxes as the rest of Europe, they all started blaming Germany for being over-controlling and penny-pinching, and looked in the way of Putin. Imagine what would happen when our citizens understand that 90% of the people can't have meat, heating, cars or flights.

Hence, carbon limitations will create tensions, country-level protests, and probably wars, which will waste even more carbon than today. Added to the global warming which is already underway, and there's little hope to dodge a catastrophic event. Either we manage carbon properly and most of us survive with greatly reduced materialist life (e.g. no meat), either we have a big event and 5% of lucky humans survive anyway, with a greatly reduced materialist life.

Concerning Mars, launching the Human civilization on other planets doesn't sound like a desirable goal to me. We didn't even succeed to manage ours, why expanding? Notably, none the people you've ever met will be saved by Mars – Only samples of our race will be sent. We'd better send a Noah's Arch than Humans.
I see they are using Algolia to do the requests (at least for HN) on the front-end. Unfortunately it is limited, as you cannot get from there whether the current thread is opened for comments or whether the comments are opened for reply. That's why I'm parsing Algolia AND HN's website for each of the comments, to mix the data. Also it makes it easier doing the work on the back-end to add new services and not depending on a 3rd party. See the changelog on the bottom of https://comments.network/ to see those bugs fixed really recently.

Computational cognitive science.

I'm in the process of going back to studying. My employer knows this, as well as most my friends and peers. I plan to spend the next two scholar years (starting in 2017) to take a master in cognitive science. I have worked for 3 years in web development since graduating and have enough money stashed to make the transition.

I'll likely write a lot less code, and more maths and english.

My primary motivation is that I believe that breakthroughs in AI and cognitive science at the computational Marr's level are going to have a huge impact, and I want to be a part of it.

4 Reasons Why Search Engine Marketing Is Important for Online Advertising
I quit my 120K job for a long-term $75/hr gig. Turns out I'm making way less than I used to. Taxes are way higher and take too long, no benefits or vacation, have to spend more time on non-billable work. Client is a startup that's now running into financial issues of its own, so a raise is unlikely. This is in Kalamazoo. I have young kids and so can't put in a ton of hours to make up the difference.

Haven't spent enough time marketing, or really just don't know how to go about it. Living in small-town midwest it seems hard to make contacts. Everyone I've talked to wants to offer like $5000 flat fee for a week of work they need done (and we all know "a week of work" always turns into a month). Nothing long-term and nothing very profitable, so I've turned everything down.

In all likelihood I'll be back on the job market soon.

Yes, London is bad. Paris too. Especially with the reeking fumes near any major road from all the dirty diesel vehicles. Air quality in both cities is totally unacceptable in my opinion.

But it's nothing remotely like the scale of disaster that India has, where there is often constant choking smoke enveloping entire cities and regions. Even China is clean by comparison.

As we were driving to lunch one Friday, another programmer and I saw a backhoe in use, and started favorably comparing 'backhoe operator' to 'programmer': you get to work with heavy equipment, you can see the results of your work, when the day is done you go home and don't have to think about it. We laughed and cringed, as backhoe operator sounded like a better job by the time we were done.

For me, I can't do anything else. I'm sure I could learn something else, and I certainly get burned out from time to time. However, I find the whole development process fascinating, I still get a kick out of solving the puzzles and making things work, I am deeply gratified to see something I made help someone else solve one of their problems, and code is affecting more and more of the population for better and worse. There's no place I'd rather be.

There's a scene in 'Heat' where De Niro's criminal and Pacino's cop characters are talking about why they do what they do over a cup of coffee at a diner, and it turns out they're both compelled and couldn't do anything but what they do. I'm not sure what I'll do when the Butlerian jihadists or the twenty-something Angular developers come for me, and I have to go find something else to do, but I think I'll keep at it until then.
You don't get to develop the technology to live on a different planet without starting somewhere. I don't want to keep all our eggs in one basket, and Mars seems like the most reasonable place to start.

I honestly think there are just too many people on Earth. Every single person wants something, every, person is their own environmental catastrophe due to our consumerist driven society and our diets.

Imagine 4 billion plastic coffee lids a day going into landfill, the ocean or needing to be recycled, and in this case, burned. Just that problem alone is incredible, hard to fathom.

I watched people all through Europe, deliberately take their cigarette butts, and drop them into storm water drains, frequently, almost everywhere I looked. I just couldn't believe it. I thought about saying something each time I saw someone do it, but in the end I just didn't think it was worth it. Could you imagine how much damage a single plastic bag or cigarette butt does to a marine eco-system in the course of it's life? I really can't believe people even want to eat seafood for the sake of their own health.

I've traveled through Europe and Asia for the last year and there is just so many people, it was even hard to sleep, like people just living on top of each other. Climate change is having a major effect on Europe, there is no doubt, in Holland, they were hosing raising bridges down so they would close properly, this was happening for days on end, it was 30+ degrees, insane, the bridges just weren't designed for the heat.

Right now, I'm in Bali on my way home from Europe volunteering for a startup who is trying to reduce landfill intake by taking green waste before it hits landfill and turning it into a reusable product (http://www.balicompostcrafters.com/), I visited the tip, it was a catastrophe, all the toxic run off just washes into the harbor each time it rains, the local government solution right now is to just put mud/dirt on top of it all. More amazing is that the tip is next to a sea turtle sanctuary.

My Fiancee and I swim at the beach daily, we can always swim out to the reef, pickup a plastic bag, head back to the beach and easily fill the bag up full of plastic objects, straws, bags, coke bottles etc. People just look at us like we're crazy lunatics, as if that's "Somebody else's job".

Unless most people wake up , tomorrow, roll up their sleeves and start cleaning stuff up, I think it's just a matter of time until a big collapse really affects us.

The thing is, the whole outcome is optional still, if we wanted too I really think we could turn it around.
Colonising Mars will not save the Earth or its current inhabitants; it's not viable to move people there, for example. It'd be limited to scientists and the elite to go there, and (if science fiction is anything to go by), would merely create an entirely different country or even species, assuming people can even survive there. Communication and travel with Earth will be crap, so isolation will happen. It might help perpetuate the species, but it's not going to save humanity or the planet as we know it.

Oh that is why you are defending the shitty aspect of journalism. There is a difference between handling all of the story and asking for a comment. Asking for a comment is a normal journalism practice and handling the whole story is the shitty nepotism. It is amazing you are defending this aspect of journalism. Handing over whole story before publishing it. It helps the campaign to plan mitigation efforts, and even can do to editor to edit out the story due to Clinton campaign pushback.
Would you mind explaining what you mean by targeted individual? Did you do something to attract someones attention in a really negative way? How did this come about through programming?
The "Doesn't matter" argument is nonsense.

Of course it matters. Your ontological beliefs define the questions you feel you're allowed to ask and the kinds of experiments you will design.

Copenhagen is just as much "at the boundary between physics and philosophy" as any other interpretation is.

The foundation of QT has been stuck for almost a century now. There's been a lot of detail filled in, but no truly fundamental movement towards answering the hard questions - what does quantum collapse really mean in physical terms, and how do you get from QT to relativity and back again?

What's so terrible about supporting alternative views that may shed some light on those questions?

Physics is ontology. There is nothing else involved. If you're going to pretend the true nature of reality is either irrelevant to physics or is somehow mystically unknowable, you may as well stop doing science altogether.

Exactly. No one liked the Game of Thrones TV show before it existed, because, well, no one had tried it yet. The same is true about a lot of new shows, especially streaming funded.

And conversely, just because the audience likes a previous thing, does not mean they will like a soulless copy of that fed to them for the 6th time, even if available options and marketing kind of worked the first 5 times.

I really hate that school of product development. Thanks for reminding me ;)
You're confusing the meaning of the word "free" here. It refers to freedom, not price. RHEL and SLE both are free software distributions (mostly) and so you have the legal right (as per their license) to distribute the software.
