> the truth is Miami Beach has always flooded (during full moons water can rise right up through the ground

The article clearly states that already; the point of the article, for which it provides ample evidence, is that the flooding has become much worse.
Hi, just discovered this got posted. I'm the Co-Founder and CEO of Parabola.

We created Parabola with the goal of enabling everyone to easily work with their data without needing technical skills. It makes data easy to import and manipulate, eliminates the need for complex formulas or python scripts, and everything you build is automatically updated whenever new data comes in.

-Easy, drag-and-drop interface that handles the most complex and frustrating tasks for you.

-Connect to live data, clean/merge data sets, perform a variety of data transformations, and visualize the results.

-Package your analysis into engaging dashboards for sharing and collaborating with just a few clicks.

Our early customers use Parabola for everything from cleaning lead data to creating live-updating analytics dashboards. We’d love for you to try it and let us know what you think.
Unrelated, but kudos on the arbitrary hash use on the Wordpress auto updater last week.
> Meanwhile, the movie industry is soundly asleep at the wheel and its execs don't recognize that the consumer demands (near-instant access, no copy protection, no unskippable FBI warnings, no unskippable teasers, and no freaking region lock) have greatly diverged from their offerings.

Are you implying that people still use DVDs or Blu-rays?

If you are, I got genuinely curious, because in Brazil at least, I'm quite certain they got nearly extinct. Here, is Netflix, cable (or satellite), online "channels" as HBO-Go or torrent.

Based on that, it appears to me that consumer demands already won.
The limitation that I referred to (same as open-v) is that it's very difficult to get IP for embedded NVRAM, and requires more complicated processes. So this seems like the next best option. Yes, misses are going to be very expensive, but I'd rather have icache than manually paging code (plus you can use the 16KiB internal RAM for tight timing loops). More RAM would of course be better, but probably not the first thing I would add in the next revision (that would be more peripherals).

Also note that Quad SPI flash is 4 bits wide, and is NOR flash.
They could be decomposable libraries rather than singular massive engines.

Not exactly. The British Empire coerced China into leasing them Hong Kong for 100 years. After the 100 year lease was up China agreed to keep Hong Kong as a semi-independent "special administrative region".

The other special administrative region is Macau, and China has proposed that Taiwan become a special administrative region too.
This has nothing to do with the submission, and only has the most tenuous connection to the parent comment.
Well, a plausible answer is that if we (or random mutations) re-enable those genes then the end result is simply a lot of cancer.

A reasonable default assumption is that each switch in our "genetic configuration" is set to a quite good value.

The only exception is if we see a feature that is beneficial at a high calorie cost - those features have been (reasonably) optimized away during our evolution, but would be useful in modern circumstances where food is not scarce anymore; this is a tradeoff where it would make sense to just turn the dial way to the right from where it had been throughout the last million years.
The electoral college isn't a bug, it's a design feature. Cf The Federalist Papers.

A fundamental problem for democracy is how to keep it from degenerating into mob rule. The EC is one of those "checks and balances" mechanisms for a country that is, after all, a collection of individual states.
I suppose the natural question to ask here is if one thinks it is actually possible to be truly "on call" at multiple places simultaneously.

I generally agree, and don't want to bicker over the wording, except one important point ...

> if we're looking at the actions of everyone who might actually deal with it, then there's a clear consensus that we're actually choosing to face the consequences instead.

Very many are denying that climate change is happening, or falling back to denying the consequences, or falling back to saying there's nothing we can do about it.

Why not work towards a decentralized model instead, webrtc is a good start.
One big advantage is portability / compatibility. For example, Linux uses GNU sed but Mac OS X uses BSD sed. I've run into issues where a sed script works on one but not the other. Using perl in sed mode avoids this.

My reading was not that you can expect to be a unicorn and grow to Facebook proportions, but that your Growth Model is non-linear. What I mean by that is when your growth occurs, it occurs sharply.

So tomorrow Microsoft ships an update for Windows that causes a runtime function to call an additional Win32k function and suddenly Chrome crashes?

This seems somewhat impossible to maintain.
(I'm the author.) That is an excellent suggestion. Now that you've mentioned it, it seems like a glaring omission. I'll try to fix that up once I get home.

In case the other parts of the README weren't clear, the concept was to use any Unicode character. I was even thinking of (eventually) getting it to encode data with combining accents. Note that it was intended to optimize the string for screen display space (pixels), not space.

I'm not sure it'd be a good fit for git hashes, simply b/c sometimes you need to type or speak a git hash, and the output from baseunicode was definitely not intended to be pronounceable. (Esp. since I was thinking of using CJK characters, but trying to weight them down for their wider screen area; but imaging trying to describe that to a co-worker who might only speak English.)

I wrote it mostly for fun, after I had a couple of difficult to transfer files between machines in the cloud. I find myself ssh'd into weird places, and scp'ing is sometimes trying. (I do machine-to-machine, so I almost always need -3, which I don't know why that isn't the default; scp doesn't deal well with the file being only accessible by root, not your user; scp has the weirdest arg syntax if you have ill-advised characters in your filenames, like spaces…) So I was cat'ing files, copying them from one window, and pasting into another window. base64 for binary data, tar/gzip for making it smaller. But for the copy/paste, scrolling is a pain, and heaven forbid if you're in screen/tmux.

(Also, if you find yourself really without a file that you can't scp, you can "re-implement" scp with `ssh $hosta sudo tar -cz <stuff> | ssh $hostb sudo tar -xz`; see also the -C flag, and don't forget you can also `ssh $host "sudo bash -c 'cd /where && tar -cz <stuff>'"`)
You're missing the joke.
Yes. Corporate IT will install extra software on the machine which does this kind of thing.

On the macs, there's an auto-updater which forces a restart with a countdown, no way to stop it. Its not by Apple for sure, based on how jankey it looks, but terminating the process will prevent the restart. The worst is spyware which randomly spins up one of the CPUs to 100% for 10 mins every few hours while it runs du.

At least from the political perspective, I feel that most of it is simply justification and rationalization.

After you've made a decision that for your country/company/party/economic group/whatever the desired course of action is to not work against climate change, then you still have to communicate and "sell" that decision to everyone else, and denying the consequences or saying that we can't do anything has much less backlash than openly saying "fuck you, got mine".

While it's also true that "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!", I believe that most of the involved politicians understand the future consequences (at least the mid-term consequences to their particular area) quite well, but politic communication is about telling whatever will get your goals achieved the best, not about communicating your personal beliefs truthfully.

It's the same thing with jobs - can you imagine any politician telling to a distressed area/industry "no, your jobs are never going to come back" even if that's an obvious truth?

How does that charity raise $1bn? It might have legitimate costs - for example, running thrift shops.

https://www.theguardian.com/voluntary-sector-network/2016/no...

> Miller’s True and Fair Foundation argues (pdf) that charities should spend a minimum 65% of their total income on charitable activity. Any charity spending less than that, it says, “must by definition be one or more of poorly governed, unethical or appallingly mismanaged” (pdf). One in five larger charities is said by the foundation to spend less than 50%.

BUT

https://www.theguardian.com/voluntary-sector-network/2015/de...

> The foundation has simply taken a charity’s total income and contrasted it with charitable expenditure. But, the total income for many large charities includes the costs of trading (eg running a charity shop) – money which could never be spent on the end cause, but helps generate additional funds for it. Like any business, part of the charity’s income goes to cover these costs, before a profit is made which can go directly to the charity’s cause.

[...]

> For example, a charity may spend £30 running a charity shop. It makes £40 on the till, so therefore makes a £10 profit which goes to the end cause, along with the initial £10 donation.

> In doing all this, its total income is recorded as £50 – the £10 donation, plus the £40 from trading. The £20 it has to spend on its cause is 40% of this £50.

if you got cancer, just cut that piece off and eat more?
It seems like the cells in a worm are relatively position-independent, so they can regrow using only local information.

If you lopped off your leg, a cell would need to know how much of the leg to regrow to get to the kneecaps, how much to grow to get to the foot, or more. If you chopped off a foot, it seems hard to know which parts need to be regrown and which don't. There's a lot of complexity in a foot.
None of them _had_ to pick JS, but many of them prefer it because they already know JS from building web apps.

> The difference between 13" and 15" for size and weight is much greater than the size and weight savings afforded by the new keyboard. Also, both the 13" and 15" MacBook Pros have the same keyboard.

It's a cumulative process. My first Macbook was a white 13.3" polycarb core 2 duo. The new 15" MBP is a pound lighter, almost half as thick, and only half an inch deeper and an inch wider. Samsung has a 15" laptop that's under 3 pounds, making it very palatable even for people used to a 13"-er.

At what point along that evolution should Apple have stopped striving to get smaller?
>Well, a plausible answer is that if we (or random mutations) re-enable those genes then the end result is simply a lot of cancer.

Interesting idea, but does the risk of cancer have that much selective pressure? It tends to be the "last thing that kills you", after you live long enough to survive everything else. So it seems like any increased risk of cancer would have to be pretty high before it traded off against injury recovery. Then again, "injury recovery" might not have been as beneficial either -- the time to regenerate would still leave you vulnerable, so adaptations favoring avoidance of that injury would have a leg up in selective pressure.
Hey! I don't mean to hijack this conversation, but I see you built Umbrella specifically for android.

In an attempt to take back a little control over my personal data, I've switched from android devices back to ios. I notice that orbot/orfox aren't available for ios and it doesn't appear umbrella is either.

Is there something I am missing about apple's platform that makes android the better choice for security? Or why aren't people building ios apps for security?
My friend and I call this the "my uncle's machine shop" phenomenon after the seemingly endless forum posts about cars, desert racing, mountain bikes, woodworking etc where someone says something like, "I didn't have the part handy, so I drove over to my Uncle's machine shop and we milled it out of a 6x6x6 inch cube of billet aluminum he had lying around. Then we anodized it, and used it to fix our broken plastic xyz part."

I have consciously spent tens of thousands of dollars on tools to be more capable of building things for myself (bad Return on cash). But some of the stuff these people make and have access to astounds me.

It depends on how much they are willing to pay. For most, they pay enough to get a phone call within the hour during normal business hours, an email response within the day, and a 24-hour window if something happens on-site that requires my physical presence instead of remoting in.

I do have a couple of clients that pay quite a bit more for a call-and-fix any time guarantee, but I only offer that level of service to businesses where 1: there is at least one person on their regular staff who is technically competent enough I can walk through more advanced issues and they will understand how to follow instructions, and 2: I'm the one that built out their network, so I know the gritty details.

For the times when the shit hits the fan in two places at once, I have friends who do similar work, and there are a couple of guys I can call to cover if needed. Obviously they get most of the money from these instances, but the customer stays happy, and I get larger monthly residuals than I could otherwise take care of, so everybody wins.
I'm a huge believer that humans can cherry-pick the best traits of many different species and apply them to ourselves. It might sound like science fiction right now, bit give it time and we humans will have unlocked some crazy things that we claimed to be "impossible." It's always impossible until it's done. And to be honest, I think the second something is thought of, it becomes possible. I live for this shit.

This rings true.
Parabola is both more end-user friendly (particularly for non-technical users) and also designed to be used for more ad-hoc tasks. You could think of it like the combination of an ETL tool and a spreadsheet. Another way of looking at it would be a scripting language for non engineers.

You don't always get to have a side at all. If you are a member of a minority population, or if your political orientation is just a little bit too far outside the mainstream, you may never get a chance to vote for any candidate who represents your needs. There's that old saw about two wolves and a lamb voting on dinner; just because a political system is democratic doesn't mean it is necessarily just, or that participation would actually produce meaningful results. Abandoning the system and working around it can be the rational choice.

Well, except they don't really have sysadmin experience. They set up a server for their development environment once, and because of that, they get turned into the company sysadmin. So they set up the companies production environment, and the lack of experience shows. Multiple single points of failure, inadequate (if at all) backups, poor network design, etc.

One favorite situation I ran into: a database server with a RAID card set to do write caching without NVRAM on a server with a single power supply (so two bad things in one). An overloaded power strip blew a circuit breaker and when the server went down, the filesystem their database was running on was unrecoverable. Oh, and of course they weren't doing backups because they had RAID!
> Is there a reason you used the term "Mormon conspiracy"?

The vast majority of supplement scam companies (and their closely related scam cousins, multi-level marketing) in Utah are run by Mormons and have their origins in traditional Mormon herbal healing: http://archive.sltrib.com/story.php?ref=/sltrib/news/5117547...

It is important to note that Judaism is different from Mormonism, and most other religions, in that being a Jew is an ethnicity as well as a religion - you can be Jewish and be an atheist. Religion is a choice, and I consider all religions to be morally wrong and an impediment to rational thought and human freedom. The fact that most supplement scams in Utah are run by Mormons but most Utah Mormons are not scammers is correct and I hope apparent to everyone, and I did not mean to use hyperbole to imply otherwise.
