Who cares if it's been warmer before or if it would warm (albeit much more slowly) anyway due to natural causes. The fact is, we know the warming is driven by greenhouse gases and while there are some of these occurring naturally we are certainly making things much worse. Your arguments are no reason not to take a aggressive stance on cutting carbon emissions.

Put another way, the real question is not are we causing it but can we slow or stop it by making changes. And the answer to that is undeniably yes.

As to the argument that the earth survived warm periods a thousand years ago so it's no big deal - are you kidding? There are billions more people alive today, and probably hundreds of millions in places that will be affected by sea level rise or droughts, not to mention the economic impact of other extreme weather events.
Looking at the chart of "Cumulative Corporate Renewable Energy Purchasing in the United States, Europe and Mexico in November 2016"[1], I see that except Apple, Kaiser Permanente, Switch SuperNAP and DoE (to a degree), all other corporations are predominantly purchasing Wind power instead of solar. So is this a seasonal trend or it's just that Wind power is more economical and/or more readily available than Solar?

I suspect I must be horribly misreading your post, because no matter how many times I read it, all your objections seem extremely silly. Please accept my apologies and correct me where I'm misinterpreting you you, but":

1) The images can quite easily be uploaded in the background. Wartime journalists typically don't need huge images at highest quality settings - you can make your files pretty small (few MB or less), so they are quick to upload.

2) The power requirements for wifi aren't THAT high, but none the less, there's a simple and elegant solution - the user can take additional batteries in their pocket.

3) Jamming every wifi channel on both frequencies over an entire city is a crazy idea. No-one does this.

4) MiTM attacks... uh, what? You envisage a scenario where in the back of that toyota hilux filled with heavily armed young men there's going to be someone on their laptop, sniffing for wifi signals, trying to find out if they might belong to a journalist, somehow intercepting and modifying the images then uploading them to the original destination....? Even if that IS what you mean, there's again a trivial solution - the uploads can take place over TLS.

I'm trying hard to view your post in a positive light, but I'm finding it difficult - can you perhaps expand on your points?
In a pinch, maybe (see bottom paragraph for a better alternative), but ö is Swedish and German. It's "the same letter" but at the same time it is not.

In Sweden, the modern alphabet ends with "å, ä, ö". In Norway and Denmark the modern alphabet ends with "æ, ø, å".

Although the order is different, å is the same in both Swedish and Norwegian and Danish, and ä is "equal to" æ, and ö is "equal to" ø.

I've seen some people aged 60+ use ö in their handwriting in Norway.

I was born in Sweden and am a Swedish citizen but have been living in Norway since I was four years old. (Swedish father, Norwegian mother.) My last name contains and ö in it, but to the Norwegian authorities and everyone else here, my name is written with an ø. I always write my name with an ø, because that's what I'm used to and that what everybody else is used to, except when I'm in Sweden, then I use ö.

Aside from my last name, I would never interchange ä with æ or ö with ø, because doing so either for a Norwegian word using Swedish letters or for a Swedish word using Norwegian letters would simply look absurd to me. In fact I think even some people might find it offensive to do so. The "å, ä, ö" and the "æ, ø, å" are part of the Swedish and Norwegian peoples identities.

If you need to type words that have these letters in them but you don't have the letters accessible on the computer you are using, it's much better to perform Anglicization IMO. Type å as aa, ä/æ as ae and ö/ø as oe".

Very honestly, it boggles my mind just to try to imagine how one can accurately control a mouse with that thing. It feels so much like an analog joystick, and as such, it doesn't have a way to enter an absolute motion.

Trackballs, touchpads, mice, even a lot of esoteric solutions such as eye-trackers do. Even Valve made a controller with touchpads to work around this problem.

I find them too slow for long distances too, and they tend not to be accurate enough if you increase the speed.

I had a couple of friends at university looking forward to have some of those, but they admitted (on their own, while presented with the above argumentation) it was for the "premium/professional" look of those rather than usability.

So,in my highly subjective experience, this input method is highly unusable when used as a mouse. I wonder how you perceive these issues? Maybe I am just using them the wrong way?

Edit: One thing I wish more laptops had is a third button, though, if only for interacting with tabs/link in the browser, and copy/paste.
You can also use a touch pad with your thumb quite accurately (tap to click), but it's a bit awkward.

As I wrote in response to another comment, I think Dvorak is still the best qwerty alternative because of it's ubiquitousness.

Once you make the switch to an alternative layout, having to write on a qwerty layout becomes very unpleasant. Unfortunately, it is often common that you have to type on a borrowed system and you want a layout you can easily switch to.

Dvorak layout is standard in all operating system whereas most alternatives are not and requires additional drivers / setup files.

While most people will let you change a system settings for a while, it will be frowned upon if you start downloading strange software from the internet...

Switching to Dvorak and back on any modern OS take less than 20 seconds so it's not an issue to setup even for a short time.
For people who have other layouts than us on their keyboards, it's easy in *nix to remap keys to get special chars.

For instance I use xmodmap to remap ALTGR + [ for å, ALTGR + ; for ö (+ SHIFT produces capital letters of the same)

Example:
xmodmap -e "keycode 108 = Mode_switch" && xmodmap -e "keycode 48 = apostrophe quotedbl adiaeresis Adiaeresis"

This can of course be used for any kind of remapping in case your unhappy with some key locations.
Thank you! I think I understand why they couldn't enable this by default, but I really wish they had.
I haven't used Opera. I'll check that out, thanks.
He generally hasn't been interested in any kind of standardization, of which this is an example, no?
When you look back though the past few decades or so of political history really only two options exist. The politicians we have elected were utterly incompetent (based on campaign promises vs what was achieved) or they achieved the goals that were the most important to them. I believe it is the second option, they care little about a balanced budget and a great deal about enriching the donor class.
I think that all these politicians that deny climate change actually do know perfectly well that it's true. They just keep saying it because it turns the minds of liberals to emotional mush.

That's why Trump says it - to antagonize his opponents (us) and possibly because of deals (pipelines, drilling) and unwillingness to waste profits on protecting the planet.

Some of them really do think that Jesus will come back when they've completely screwed up the planet.

I hang around on TypeRacer more than is good for me, but that and chatting with friends is the main non-productive way to get faster. Once I reach a threshold (let's call it 60 words per minute), I find it adequate to use for daily use and then I reach my usual speed.

As for learning a particular layout, Dvorak took me weeks to get down-pat, but Norman only took me a couple of hours. I think it more has to do with me learning a bunch of layouts over the years than the layout itself.

Otherwise, no real tools are necessary. After learning the layout (which involves trying to memorize it based on each finger, start with the home row then move up then down. Then I'd start drawing it on paper from memory to reinforce the look of each row and column), I start to type to gain muscle memory. I may keep a list of weak keys on a piece of paper for reference. I never relabel my keys or look down at the keyboard. I always learn to touch type an alternative layout (as it really sucks when someone else can't use your keyboard)
Imagine a Venn diagram with Pollution one circle and Climate Change in another and the intersection is Reducing Emissions. The title being "Intersection affects both".
Well, I was more talking about a general device to assist in reverse engineering various RF protocols (and that was before I found the price for this device :) ). Now knowing the price, it puts it up with the YardStick One, which is probably out of my price range (I'm cheap). The CC110L + ESP8266 setup that I'm working with currently cost me about $12 shipped, combined (eBay as well).

The selling point on using the CC11xx vs. generic rtlsdr is the scanning speed. The particular protocol that my electric and water meters speak is spread spectrum with 400kHz channel spacing and 25 channels. I'm able to park my rtlsdr on a frequency and get about 1/4 of the packets (luckily there is no change in channel during packets). I've tried scanning, but the dongles I have just aren't quick enough. The meters themselves actually use the TI chips, so I know they're up to snuff.
The problem is now. Countries like Chine and Russia, try to control it on country level. But they still do it bad, bad for users, bad for government. When they find good way to handle it, might other countries also will do the same.

I've always wonder why Norman, Dvorak etc. preform so much better than qwerty by most metrics, but real-world studies showing that much of a difference are rather lacking.

I can imagine it must be hard to design a good study comparing them when almost everyone uses qwerty.
thats why it should be a technical impossibility to recover them in the field.

i think it would even do to have it done "offline" - i.e. any image/audio/video older than a few minutes gets encrypted and can only be decrypted at another location.

that should also be an optional mode. so you can have lots of wildlife photos and pictures of cute cats for plausible deniability.

A blueprint for getting more women into information technology
Basically nobody believes in 'Flat Earth' it's ridiculous that you'd put that in there.

And it's surprising how many CEO's in tech don't have a grasp of economics.

Elon doesn't know what the Fed's QE program does or what it means.

Watch investors speak about what they think of the future, and of business, then watch Elon, Zuck etc. speak. There's a marked difference. The investors are economically literate, and usually speak in those terms. Founder don't.

Elon is in 2 business that are fundamentally affected by things like currency, interest rates, consumer credit - Solar City and Tesla. And he never - ever - talks about it.

Most engineers are financially and especially economically illiterate.

But I don't think you actually need to understand econ really well to be a CEO or a good entrepreneur, I just think it's really weird that they don't.

Based on my own experiments and also watching how other users are following through, I noticed few things: (1) If an user starts with huge list of habits to develop, more likely or not s/he would quit fast -- so starting slow is recommended (2) I think having long term goal followed by daily steps / habits is a good idea. (3) Sharing the goal with your friends / family helps a lot - so currently we are working on a functionality to share the goals with others (not strangers but 'friends'). (4) Also, when habits are set by someone like parents / teachers, they are followed up better than self imposed habits (ex doing daily music practice or homework as opposed to doing course work for free online courses)
That reminds me of a Dylan Moran joke: "Arnold Schwarzenegger is the governor of California. There's a perfectly ordinary English sentence. How did that happen!? ... He went over to the heavy thing, and lifted it, and put it back down and didn't move it anywhere. And then he did it again, hundreds of times, and he said to people who stopped to observe this aberrant behaviour, "Look how good I am at lifting the heavy thing in my underpants." Now, that may seem a little dim. But it was they who said "You're the man. You're the one we want to deal with immigration, and water rates, and taxes, and all that."

> I think that all these politicians that deny climate change actually do know perfectly well that it's true. They just keep saying it because it turns the minds of liberals to emotional mush.

No, I think they say it because climate change is very inconvenient in the short term if you represent a state that depends on fossil fuels, which many do. Why try to solve the unpopular problem when you have leave it for the next representative to deal with in 4/8 years time?
Could you not use an adaptive password hashing algo with an absurd iteration count. Let's say each hash takes 500ms. Salt each domain with a different salt.

Building a rainbow table would still be possible, but hindered. To discover one domain behind one hash, you would need to roughly run through half of the used domains with the slow password hash.

That being said, the subset of popular domains is much smaller then the full set of domains, so the problem can be pared down to be much more effective than the worst-case.
I'd like to remind the citizens of HN that I and other alt-righters here are rarely guilty of inserting political articles into the News Feed of this website.

I didn't know until I looked at a dictionary just now that "spleen" can mean "melancholy" in English too... The more common emotional meaning would be something more like "spite" or "anger"; hence the adjective "splenetic". One gets the impression that each different emotion associated with this word corresponds to a different idiosyncratic medieval theory about the emotions originating in the viscera.

You said,

> It's unclear to me why the focus on a 2^n sized buffer just so you can use & for the mask.

In fact it is required for correctness to use the approach he specified with any choice of masking operation.
Array size of 5 produces a mask of 0100

Write index of 8 = 1000

Masking those together to create a write position 1000 & 0100 = 0

Doesn't work out correctly, got 0, would expect to get 2. In fact, you could never get a write position of 1, 2, or 3 with an array size of 5.
Unless these people have any real and appointed power in the administration, I'm skeptical. This reeks to me of showmanship and a "carrot" to counterbalance the "stick" of political reprisal for Rs joining the Hamilton electors.
The spleen is not necessary for life, it is part of your immune system. You can remove it but you are at higher risk for infections, especially certain bacteria. We mitigate this risk by vaccinating against some of these.

Basically, as another poster indicated. The spleen was removed to make room for the kidney, which is what she really needed.

Edit: From what I've read what makes this newsworthy is that they implanted the kidney into the splenic vasculature.

The title of this is very misleading.

Unfortunately climate change has become a shibboleth for political tribal affiliation. To be conservative (in the tribal sense) means holding disbelief in climate change. Note that I'm not exempting liberals from this sort of behavior, many liberals believe in the existence of climate change without having the slighest understanding of it because that's what the rest of the tribe does. No amount of facts, exhortations, threats or pleas will make a difference now. Unless members of the conservative in-group change their minds and spread this message, its going to be a permanent fixture of the American worldview.

My hope is that the people most responsible for spreading doubt (e.g. fossil fuel lobbyists) live long enough to see the consequences, but this is unlikely. The most likely scenario is that the brunt of this problem will be borne by future generations, assuming we don't get really unlucky and trigger an extinction event. :-(

God damn, what a fucked world we live in. I wish I had the comfort of disbelief these people have.
